Whiskey Noobs

I am a big fan of French Oaked bourbons. Such a fan, in fact, that I currently have three of them: Maker's Mark No. 46, Penelope Architect, and Nulu French Oak. I wanted to know which one I TRULY liked the most, so I put them head to head in a blind tasting.

Whiskeys such as Bourbon, Scotch, Rye, and Irish Whiskey are often made from some combination of four main grains: barley, wheat, corn, and/or rye. Each of these brings their own flair in terms of the flavor profile, so what exactly should you expect? In this episode I walk through four examples, and give my experience with each.

Chase Hazelbaker from Prohibition Craft Spirits knows a thing or two about the sourced whiskey industry. While PCS may have started with mostly clear spirits, Chase's love for bourbon hunting made him want to get into the bourbon game. In this episode we break down the roots of Prohibition Craft Spirits, NULU Bourbon, and using sourced whiskey to create a high quality flavor profile.

The most honest possible whiskey review: a blind tasting. In this episode, I walk through my honest thoughts about Jim Bridger Bourbon, and let me tell you, I was SHOCKED at the big reveal. This whiskey is far more unique than I realized, but what is it worth? You'll have to listen to find out!

It's one of the most common questions I get about whiskey: what is the best palate cleanser for a whiskey tasting? In this episode, my guest noob, Justin, and I put yet another one to the test: coffee. We do a full review of Bowman Brothers Small Batch, and then we try out some peaty scotch followed by some coffee to see if it fixes our palates - listen in to find out what works best!

Ah, yes. The timeless debate: does water make whiskey better? Should you add it? If so, HOW do you add it? What type of water should you add? In this episode, I break it all down. From what is chemically happening when you add water to whiskey, to what changes with the experience, to an actual whisky tasting with Ardbeg 10yr, both with and without water.
