Whiskey Under 50

Amy escaped the rain and cold of the Pacific Northwest and jetted off for the sunny Palm Desert. While there basking in the sun and hitting the links she decides she needs to buy a bottle of Laphroaig Oak Select scotch whisky and graciously brings it home for us to try. Luckily, we just happen to have some Laphroaig 10 Year sitting around to try it up against. 

Give us a listen, comment, and like.

Cheers! 

Our friend Joe took a trip to Maui and brought back a new whiskey from Kupu Spirits to share around. This then prompted Amy and Jonathan to bring over the Paniolo whiskey from Hali'imaile Distilling and the whiskey-adjacent spirit 12th Hawaiian Distillers Reserve that they acquired in Hawaii to complete our impromptu luau party. 

Come drink with us as we party Hawaiian style!

Did you know Elijah Craig recently came out with a toasted rye? Neither did we until Nathan stumbled upon it at our local bottle shop. We compare it to Elijah Craig's other rye offering - the straight rye. But wait, there's more! At the end of the episode Nathan break's out a special bottle he picked up for an astonishingly cheap price. Like, listen, and follow us for more! www.whiskeyunder50.com

Cheers! 

Happy New Year! We're kicking off the new year by sampling a couple rye whiskies from Owensboro Kentucky, or more specifically Green River Distilling. First up is the self-titled drink Green River Rye followed by Nathan's new favorite distillery Wheel Horse. Both are 95/5 straight ryes and both are sour mash, but do they taste the same? Listen to find out, and like and subscribe because we're awesome.

Cheers! 

What whiskey would you bring to share at a Christmas or holiday party? We pick out what we would bring and talk about why we selected them. The three of us couldn't be more different in our picks. Jonathan goes for the middle-of-the-road crowd pleaser and brings some Buffalo Trace, Nathan made the correct decision (as per usual) and brings an obscure Bhakta 1928, and Amy brings a Bruichladdich Port Charlotte 10 year that only people super into peaty Scotch whisky would enjoy. 
We at Whiskey Under 50 hope you are able to get out there and try some new whiskey or whisky this holiday season. 
Cheers! 

With Amy's never-ending quest to find a good Scotch for less than $50 she gets talked into buying an Isle of Skye 12 year. Thinking it was peaty, and needing something to compare it to, we grabbed a Compass Box Peat Monster off the shelf. The head-to-head comparison didn't really go as planned but either way we got to drink some whisky, so it can't all be bad. Slainte! 

What better whiskey to celebrate with on Thanksgiving than Wild Turkey? It's like it was made for that specific US holiday. This year Wild Turkey has released a 70th anniversary whiskey to commemorate Jimmy Russell's 70th year at the company. See how that 70th anniversary edition stacks up against the companies Longbranch release in this week's episode. 

You ever purchase bottles on vacation that you've never tried before and know very little about? That's this episode. While in Nashville we both purchased bottles that we hadn't tasted before and only heard about -- the Blue Note Uncut and the Peg Leg Porker 8 year. We taste them both to see if they are worth the hunt and the price. 
Also, Amy and Jonathan surprise Nathan with a hard-to-find Leiper's Fork Rye bottle. 

The enigmatic trio of Whiskey Under 50 is back for a new whiskey drinking season and to kick it off they head to Nashville Tennessee to take on some distillery tastings. We hit Dickel (Cascade Hollow), Nearest Green, Corsair, Nelson's Green Brier, and Leipers Fork. And wouldn't you know, we bring some bottle's back to share with y'all. 

In our 5th season finale, Amy and Jonathan fly all the way to Chicago just for a Bushmills whisky tasting - and they don't bring any Bushmills back for me! So instead, we drink some Koval Oat, Green River Rye, and New Riff that they did bring back. Listen as they regale us about their time in the Windy City and we sample our way through some whiskey.

Talk to you all again when that fall whiskey weather hits. Cheers!
