  • A New Favorite Distillery

    After taking a week off I am back with what suppose to be a short episode that ran a little bit longer. I am talking about new favorite distillery of mine, the one that makes Malort, and tasting some of the really interesting products that they are producing. Im also talking about a show that was recommended to me, that is just like Malort, it puts a bad taste in your mouth, but you still want more or it.

    This is it,the final episode of the summer. So, this week I decided to share some of my origin stories about how spirits became something that I connected with people over.

  • Not For Everybody

    This episode ended up being a much more important one to me than I thought it would. It's a second recording of me talking about Amaros and Bitter Liqueurs that almost became a third recording. But after doubting myself, I finally accepted what I had done, which is pair Amaros with Elvis Costello songs. It may not be for everyone, but it is me. If it's not for you, I get it.

  • A Journalistic Approach

    Every time I think I'm done talking about Tequilla, the gift that keeps on giving gives again. So this week, after a couple big announcements happened, I took a bit more of a journalistic approach , and tried to stay away from my usual outbursts. It ended being an episode that I am proud of for sure.

    Better late than never. Between the heat and my health, it took a little bit longer to get this episode out, but here we are.

  • Movies and Gin

    After talking about Tequilla and trolling people on Instagram, I decided I wanted to switch it up this week. And with the weather being so nice, I started to feel like Gin season was upon us. So this week, I'm tasting some gins and talking about a few movies that I have watched lately. 1 was uplifting, 1 was emotional, and one was a completely WTF moment. Turned out to be a fun episode.

  • Lui Lui

    This is the episode I didn't expect to do, but I think I always needed to. When I heard someone say recently that Vodka has no purpose, shouldn't exist, and is a waste of Agave when it's used to make it, I took that as inspiration. So this week I am talking about the point and purpose of vodka, while defending it's use. I really enjoyed this one.
