The Neat Pour

In this week's episode, we are checking out Guidance Whiskey, which was suggested by The Swig Podcast not too long ago, and Ragtime Rye, which Nik picked up solely because it had Brooklyn Brewery Brew Master's pic, which it turned out to be shockingly good. Tune in as we dive into these two amazing whiskeys and as our resident Liquor Historian drop some drop facts about both of these brands. 

In this episode, we get into a couple of Heaven Hill's heavyweights, Elijah Craig Barrel Proof & Parker Heritage 10 Year Heavy Char.  We discuss the differences of the flavor profile due to the char as well as our Liquor Historian Nik drops some historical facts about the brand. 

In this episode, we highlight two black-owned distilleries in the industry. In a 61.7 billion dollar industry, less than 1% percent of it is black-owned. DuNord from Minneapolis, Mn, and Saint Cloud both bring something unique to the game. Du Nord with a sweet start and spicy finish and Saint Cloud all in spice, make both of these products great sippers. 

This week Nik is diving into the Irish Whiskeys Green Spot and Red Breast.  Tune in as our dedicated "Liquor Historian" breaks down the difference between the three types of Irish Whiskeys as Chalonda is on a short detox. 

In this week’s episode, we researched more about the Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey lineup, which holds roughly 12  products in their portfolio.  Many are familiar with the beloved Willett Straight Rye Whiskey or Old Bardstown.  Our curiosity leads us to find that quite of few other readily available bourbon whiskeys fall under this brand and decided to give them a try. Noah’s Mill and Johnny Drum made an appearance one this week’s show as well as the Willett Family 4 Year Rye. 

In this week's episode, we get into Maker's Mark Cask Strength and the Black Bourbon Society Select, which is one of the main reasons why our show exists today.  

In this week's episode we perform the greatest act of all, which is drinking.  A Midwinter Nights Dram Scene 8 Act 3, coming in with a spicy 95% Rye proving to be the perfect warmth on a polar Chicago night. 

This week's episode is a real treat. We get into both the George T. Stagg and the Stagg Jr., both bourbons are bold, complex and bring that Kentucky Hug. We also bring a little bit of bourbon news, we discuss the merger of MGP and Luxco brands. 

It's all about the smoke in this episode. This week we dive into Smoke Wagon from Nevada H&C Distilling Company.  Founded in 2012 and available in 11 states, this bourbon has been hitting the scene pretty hard. Although it is readily available it is one that is often sought after. 

In this week's episode, we tap into a few of our favorite cost-effective and readily available whiskeys. Of course, there is always a thrill in the chase of hunting down the harder to find and expensive bottles but sometimes it is just ok to keep it simple.  We get into Old Grand-Dad 114, Sazerac Rye, and Evan Williams Bottled in Bond and why these are our go-to bottles.
