Whiskey Noobs

If you've been around the hobby of whiskey drinking long enough, then you know that the most common cross over hobby is cigars. The two types of tastings are often grouped together, and in this episode my guest, Bryce and I discuss the similarities and differences between them. 

We always hear people talk about the flavors, or "notes," that whiskey has, but where do they come from? In this episode, I walk through the most common factors that a distiller will look at when creating a whisky in order to create the perfect flavor profile.

What is Dry January? Similar to Sober October, Dry January is just a term for taking a break from alcohol during the month of January. I am going to be participating in Dry January this year, as a way to remind myself not to take the hobby of drinking whiskey for granted! In this episode, I explain the benefits of this break.
