The Spirit Guides

Ciao from your well-traveled Spirit Guides. We went to a medieval apothecary hoping to see what kind of rot-gut snake oil we could scrounge up. Turns out all we found was a world-class liquor specialist beloved my European Royalty. Oh well. Come join us for a taste...

Your ever-gracious and hospitable Spirit Guides dive into the world of clear, unflavored liquors that thankfully aren't marketed as "moonshine." What has brought upon this unexpected adventure into unexplored territory, you ask? Why, it's because we're joined by our very first special guest! Does James have what it takes to sit at the table with the big kids?! Come find out!

For our historic 50th podcast, your ever-reliable Spirit Guides have put together a special treat... for ourselves! But at least you get to listen to it. Come join us and we sample not one, not two, but THREE different varieties of one of our favorite bottlers. MORE FRENCH SCOTCH!!!

It's time for your daring Spirit Guides to venture into the unknown with our first tasting of the rare and mysterious beverage known as tequila. Wait...that can't be right, can it? It took us 49 episodes to drink some tequila? Better late than never, I suppose. Come join us for a taste...

Join your heroic Spirit Guides as we try to figure out why the faces of every single modern rum-luminary are plastered on this bottle of 138 proof (!!!!) rum. Come have a listen...

Your faithful guides to the spirit world reach deep back into the cabinet to grab another whiskey that listeners residing anywhere other than the old sod will have a hard time finding. Is it good? You'll probably just have to take our word for it. You can trust us.

Your ever-humble and long-suffering Spirit Guides venture once more into the smokey and challenging waters of the Scottish islands for a dram of that most divisive whisky. Will we stand firm in solidarity or will the this peated beast turn Guide against Guide? Come join us for a listen and find out...

Your dauntless Spirit Guides stole a cigarette boat and under cover of night raced south from the Florida Keys to... No, wait. You don't have to do that anymore to get some Cuban rum. So we just bought some. Come join us for a taste of this once forbidden treat...

We done did it. Pappy Holidays to each and every one of us! From your ever-festive Spirit Guides.
