Episode 8, Gary is in Michigan for a tailgate football weekend so this episode is taped together. Searching for Pappy takes us to Novi Party Store, Steve's liquor hole, where we pick up several good bottles for tailgating and home use. Still, no pappy:(

Whisky Standoff, not Whiskey, this week as Glenlivet and Glenfiddich 12yr single malt scotches are battling it out. Two of the most popular whiskies in the world, we give our opinion on which bottle you should have in your collection. Almost a unanimous selection this week, surprisingly.

In Stump the Bro we do a shallow dive into everything scotch. General questions regarding what makes scotch so popular around the world, what is it made from and where is it made, are answered.

We also have more sound effects, let us know if they work or if we should kick them to the corner.

Episode 7 is here! We are back after a couple weeks off, Steve was traveling overseas and Gary's internet was down, sorry for the delay. In this episode, we discuss Steves trip to Greece and the whiskey market there...not good! In Searching for Pappy Steve found a great local Woodinville Store pick in Michigan, but no Pappy...yet!

In the Whiskey Standoff we battle Angels Envy Rye vs Willett 4yr Rye, both are excellent choices for any rye lover, but which one wins the Standoff?

In Stump the Bro we dive into the world of Pappy Van Winkle Whiskey. Why is it so expensive? Popular? Why can not we find it at any store for MRSP? Plenty more to come in future episodes regarding Pappy, just the tip of the iceberg.

Episode 6 is here and we introduce a new segment, Searchin' for Pappy, in which we give our weekly updates on our new whiskey purchases. Obviously, when searching for Pappy Van Winkle you run across other quality whiskies that must also be sampled. This week, Wally, the store owner from Whiskey Willys sets up Gary with Russells 13yr Barrel Proof and an Elijah Craig Barrel Proof store pick, both amazing bottles! Thank you, Wally, and belated birthday! Steve discusses his new Barrel Bourbon and Buffalo Trace store picks from Novi Party Store. Amazing juice!

Whiskey Standoff battles two wheated bourbons, with Redemption Bourbon going up against Larceny Bourbon. Steve struggles to open a bottle of bourbon, ground breaking podcast material. What are our opinions on the two entry level high wheated products, give a listen to find out!

Stump the Bro, we discuss barrel proof, cask strength and full proof whiskies. What are the differences? Criteria for each? Don't they all mean just high proof whiskies which will burn your tongue off and scorch your esophagus for years? Possibly...

Oh, and we have added more cheesy sound effects, thoughts? Love some feedback!

Cinco! Episode five is a long one, hopefully everyone is ready for it! In this episode Gary discusses his whiskey finds on his recent trip to Michigan. Iron Fish Distillery and Traverse City Whiskey Co. both out of Michigan have some quality whiskey options worth checking out.

In the Whiskey Standoff, it is a battle of the small batches, with Elijah Craig going up against Four Roses. Who will win the nose, the palate and we need a drum roll for the epic finish results. Oh, and don't forget the Whiskey Wow!

In Stump the Bro we quiz each other on the differences and similarities between bourbon, rye and scotch. Are all of them whisk(e)y? What makes a whisk(e)y a whisk(e)y?

In episode four we get a little sideways with our Whiskey Standoff segment as the bros are together for the recording in Michigan. A few drams may have been involved! We pit Russells Reserve Single Barrel Rye up against Michters Single Barrel US 1 Straight Rye in the first rye standoff of the pod. Who will win the nose? The palate? Does anyone really care? Well, our wives do, and make an appearance on the pod sharing their thoughts on the two ryes. Discussion gets a little loose but we hope you will find the segment entertaining if not educational.

During the Stump the Bro segment we discuss 'straight' whiskey vs 'whiskey'. What is the deal with the word 'straight' on my whiskey label? What sets straight whiskey apart from regular whiskey? Well, we did some research and present our limited information on the subject in Stump the Bro.

Episode Two, we discuss the recent purchase of Barrell Craft Spirits Gray Label Dovetail 15yr. Worth the $250? Good investment? Steve's wife thinks so, yay! Random liquor stories, regarding fellow patrons and owners is more entertainment than education. Is a liquor hole the same thing as a liquor store? Good question.

In the Whiskey Standoff, we pit Bulleit Bourbon vs. Makers Mark Bourbon. Two staple bourbons, which all collectors should have in their collection because you can use for mixing, sipping and starting fires (sarcasm is our first language). But if you had to pick just one, which one would it be? Find out in our Whiskey Standoff segment, what we think.

In our Stump the Bro segment we discuss the topic of bottled in bond and what exactly does it mean for bourbon. Hopefully you will learn a few facts regarding BiB regarding its history, abv requirements, aging minimum and oversite.
