    This is a little TNT (Thursday Night Tasting), just a little something to get you ready for the weekend. And on this episode, I am tasting a Whiskey that I have wanted to try for a very long time,Tamworth Distillery Deerslayer Venison Whiskey.

  • Bluegrass Distillers

    After last week's talk about Craft Bourbons, a new to me Craft Bourbon crossed my path this week, and showed me that there are still some great Craft Bourbons left to discover. So this week I am tasting some great offerings from Bluegrass Distillers, including 2 more potential Whiskey of the Year candidates. Plus a couple other quick tastings of some recently released Bourbons.

  • 4 More Contenders

    After last week's ranting, I tried to tone things down a bit this week. So this week, im talking about the Bourbon industry and a very important book that i recently read about American history. I am also adding 4 new contenders to my list of Whiskies of Year. It has seriously been the best year of Whiskey that I have ever experienced.

  • Crazy People and Irish Whiskey

    This week im a day late and a lottery ticket short, butI made it. On this very unprepared episode I am ranting about the 2 banes of my existence at work, lottery people and redemption people. To balance it all off, I am tasting a new lineup of Irish Whiskies that I fell in love with, including one that is another contender for my Whisky of the year.

    Its been a long time,but I am finally back, and I have a couple months of things to catch up on. So, to get back in the swing of things, I am starting back talking about the trash Anthony Bourdain "bio pic", Tony. I am also picking up where I left off with the greatest year of Whiskey, with 3 great Whiskies I have tasted over the summer. It feels good to be back.

  • Beer and a Shot

    This week Im talking about America's greatest contribution to drinking culture, the Beer and Shot combo. Inspired by a recent road trip and concert experience, where I had a few Ber and Shot combos, I was inspired to go down a rabbit hole of how this experience came to be. What i found was kind of fascinating ( to me at least). Also, I'm recommending a cool new show on Prime.
