Two years ago we highlighted 13 "scary" (i.e., disgusting) spirits from around the world in an attempt to gross out our listeners, and hell if we didn't succeed our wildest expectations. And now we're back with 13 more! So, sit back, relax, reach for some whiskey and Halloween candy, and, you know, try not to vomit. We dare you.

By now everyone knows we belong to the Local Lounge in Mt. Holly, NJ, which is managed by frequent guest host Anders the Master Mixologist. But not everyone knows that he got a chance to pick a barrel of WhistlePig of his very own, bottles of which are available to members and patrons alike! So, we decided to sit down with Anders to find out how it all went down, and then taste it to see how good a barrel strength single barrel can actually be.

And if you think you know who really owns the whiskey in this bottle, prepare to have your mind blown.

So, let's face it, Texas has gone through some controversial stuff recently. But there's nothing controversial about their whiskey industry, which is just bursting at the seams with a ton of good hooch. And when we were asked to review some samples of a blend of Texas whiskeys, we of course said yee-haw! So, join us as we taste a first-of-its kind whiskey, and then find out how it all got made from co-founder Nico Martini.
