  • TNT- Bully Boy L&K Collab

    This is TNT, just a little tasting to get you through to the weekend. This week I am tasting a unique Single Barrel offering from the Lock and Key Society, a Bully Boy American Whiskey aged in barrels that were used to age Negronis. Plus a Negroni that was aged in Port Wine barrels.

  • Garrison Brothers

    This weeks episode was supposed to be about my trip to Chicago. But since that trip got canceled, it left me available to meet Charlie Garrison, from Garrison Bros Bourbon in Texas. So on this episode I am tasting some Garrison Bros Bourbon, and taking about my favorite thing from Texas, the music of Blues Legend Stevie Ray Vaughan. I also talk about some books and videos to help get you in to his music.

    This week is another week of my new journey in to the area of mental health. On the lighterside though, it is my favorite time of year for drinking, Scotch-Tober. So on this episode I'm tasting some Scotch, and giving a recap on what exactly this magical Whisky is. I also talk about a shit talking Instagram influencer, and recommend a great new television show, Task. This is a good one.

  • Maple Menntal Health

    On this weeks episode, I am talking about something very serious, something kind of silly, and some music with substance. First off, my journey in to the world of mental health has begun after being diagnosed with anxiety and panic attacks. Then I get into something very New England, Maple Whiskies. And finally, an oh shit moment for me, and the book and music that has been a huge help through the beginning of this mental health journey. Its the music of David Byrne and The Talking Heads. This episode is alot, but it might be the one I am the most proud of. If you like what I am doing here, go to the podcast page, click the follow button and give it a rating.

  • Overrated Underrated

    This week I got to do one of the things I really enjoy doing, and that is talk about music. So I got my friend Glen to join me, and we tasted a bunch of Bottled in Bond Bourbons and talked about bands, deciding if they were overrated, underrated, or rated perfectly. Its only our opinions, and not a declaration of fact, so listen for yourself.

Im also tasting one of my favorite fall flavors, Irish Whiskey, with the Readbreast 12, 15, and Lustau editions. Thank you to all of you that have been part of this journey, and for inspiring me to keep doing this.
