Whiskey Business

Whiskey Business went on location this week to one of the last bastions of public opinion: a barber shop. Thom Checkler, owner of The Olde Village Barbershop in Worthington, Ohio talked about how the barbershop has always been a “safe place” for opinion, rhetoric and debate and also how that’s been slightly altered during the current pandemic. Thom and Dino covered a lot of ground while he was in the chair: family, politics, Covid, sports, and some surprising insights into religion. A guest bottle of Tom Foolery...made here in Ohio...also found its way into the chair. Dino got a free hair trim out of the visit, but you’ll get even more after listening OR watching this latest installment of Whiskey Business.

Whiskey Business has the unique pleasure of hosting a podcast with Old Overholt and talking with rye specialist, Bradford Lawrence and American Whiskey Ambassador, Beth Burrows. Old Overholt has taken steps to OverHAUL their classic rye whiskey by moving it to 86 proof and by releasing a magnificent 114 proof. They also gave Dino and Co. a sneak peek at an 11 year old rye coming out soon. It’s a fun, informative and funny podcast for rye lovers, whiskey enthusiasts, and American Spirit History buffs that will go down smooth.

The World’s Most Superstitious Buckeye Fan, Bill DeMora returned for his 5th appearance on the podcast (which we humorously refer to as Cinco DeMora). But this year he is "The World’s Most Disappointed Buckeye Fan" since the Big Ten has postponed their season. Filled with opinions, rants, ravings and unsound reasoning, this may be one of Bill’s best appearances yet. Coupled with an election year in the wings and his work with the Democratic Party this podcast holds back nothing. Well...art least Billy doesn’t. The guest bottle is much more easy going as we try both the bourbon and rye from Colorado's 10th Mountain Distillery. Prepare to listen, laugh, and...maybe loathe. Cheers!

Whiskey Business had the pleasure of bringing Greg Lehman from Watershed Distillery back to the podcast for a moment 6 years in the making.

Celebrating their 10th year in business, we were fortunate to taste their new limited release 6 year barrel strength bourbon. Coming in at a 119 proof this bottle continues to prove that Watershed is still growing and succeeding in the spirit world. The new whiskey gets released on September 19th starting at 9am at the distillery and will also be at select liquor agencies. Roll out the barrel! This one IS fun.

Whiskey Business had the pleasure of hosting the inventive minds of Columbus’ own Echo Spirits for a tasting of their brand new Straight Rye Whiskey.

While their outstanding rum made with molasses AND sugar stands alone in its excellence, Joe Bidinger and Nikhil Sharoff put their love for whiskey history and tradition to work with a straight rye whiskey. While it's young, it stands up tall against some older ryes and makes a significant mark in the ever growing whiskey world. Pick up a bottle for yourself and try along with us.

James “Buster” Douglas, the former undisputed heavyweight champ of the world, joins us for this special episode of Whiskey Business. The Champ has entered a “new ring” of sorts with "Buster Douglas 42-1" a new bourbon bearing his name(42-1 were the odds against him when he shocked the world 30 years ago by defeating Mike Tyson for the heavyweight championship of the world). Dino and the boys talk about how the whiskey came to be a silver medal award winner in the 2020 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and of course about those odds and that legendary fight. Buster gets candid talking about his career, his family, the night he beat Tyson and his loss to Evander Holyfield. It’s an amazing conversation with a very humble man and STILL a champion in so many ways.

Whiskey Business is back with “The Fight Club” of the whiskey industry...black market bourbon, or what purchasers prefer to call the secondary market. The first rule of black market bourbon may be “Don’t talk about black market bourbon", but Dino and his guests Chay Miller and Sam Hilty did just that. In a lively, informative, and at times argumentative discussion the trio dive deep into the highs and lows of whiskey wheeling and dealing. They also revisit a bottle you don’t have to hit the black market for, Wild Turkey Longbranch, the whiskey love child of Eddie Russel and Matthew McConaughey. So enjoy a sip of your fave ill-gotten bourbon bootie and give a listen.

On this special episode of Whiskey Business, Dino sits down with Hansberry's kids. Two children under the age of 8, and one adult who has not quite grown up either...what could go wrong?

Whiskey Business was honored to be asked to host a special episode to benefit the charity A Kid Again. This Central Ohio based non-profit helps families with sick children have days of fun and adventure that make them feel...like a kid again. Comedians Bobbie Dodds and Sarah Boosh joined in and offered hilarious perspectives on rising kids. Plus, award winning bartender and friend of the show, Jesse Hubbard created a special cocktail for the event. Join us as we all try to remember what it would be like to be a kid again.
