  • Not a Good Start
    2025 has not gotten off to a hood start. First I lost my cat, then my relationship, and then this past week I had to spend a night in the hospital. But none of that can keep me down. So this week, I'm sharing my life with you guys and tasting some non alcoholic offerings, including my new favorite N/A Beer. I actually really enjoyed this one alot.

  • Not As Planned
    I had a whole episode for dry January planned out, which I was going to plan to do myself. Bit then my relationship of 5 years fell apart in one day and I was off the wagon. But I figured since I had everything, I might as well taste through them so that if any of you ate doing dry January, it might you some ideas for options.

  • Four Roses
    We have come to the end of 2024, and that means a time for recollection and lists. So this week, while talking about some of my favorite books, music and spirits from the last year, I am also tasting 2 of the new limited release Single Barrels from Four Roses to decide if they are worth buying. Plus I videoed this one, so you can watch it on Facebook for the next few weeks. If you like what I am doing here go to the podcast page and click the follow button and give it a rating.

  • Whiskey Advocate Top 20
    Hello my friends. We are coming to the end of the year, and that means it is time for end of the year lists. So this week, I am taking a dive in to the sometimes suspect Whiskey Advocate Top 20 of 2024. I am also tasting the new Redwood Empire Haystack, Knob Creek Bourbon xRye, and comparing 2 different versions of Jameson Triple Triple. I really enjoyed this one.If you like what I am doing here go to the podcast page and click the follow button and give it a rating.

  • Fair Market Value
    Hello beautiful people. The silly season is in full swing, and this year seems to be a bit more crazy. So, on this episode I am tasting through some High Rye Jim Beam Bourbons, mostly known as Old Granddad, while talking about the outdated and ridiculous concept of MSRP, to which I give explanations of and offer solutions too. Thankfully the Bourbons were fantastic. If you like what I am doing here go to the podcast page and click the follow button and give it a rating.

    This episode was supposed to be a full episode about music that I love. Then a weird thing happened on Instagram, and I got sent an interesting article on the spirits industry, which scrambled everything up. So I tried to cram everything into this episode, and had alot of fun doing. Plus, as always, I'm tasting some fun spirits.

  • Another Sizeable Amount of Samples
    One of the great ways that we can connect through spirits is the sharing of samples. Whether it is rare spirits, quirky bottles, or just something you know somebody would enjoy, it truly has become something that I really enjoy. So on this episode I am tasting some samples that were given to me recently by one of my customers. Plus I get in a little rant about the trend of everything being everything.
