Whiskey Under 50

It's Valentine's Day at Whiskey Under 50 and to celebrate we chose 3 whiskies we think our significant other should be buy us, that isn't the Wee Beastie. This week we drink the Pikesville Rye, the Michters Rye, and the Woodford Wheat. All solid choices for that special someone - or just get them for yourself - we won't judge.  Cheers! 

What happens when you take two popular brands of Scotch whisky and put them in a taste-off against each other? You end up with some interesting opinions on these two Scottish staples. And try a Penicillin cocktail - it's delicious. Cheers! 

This week we battle a couple smaller and unknown rye whiskies -- the Widow Jane Oak and Apple Rye from NY and the Limousin Rye from Wisconsin. Does Amy's presumed extensive knowledge of apples come into play? Only the listeners will know. 

This week Whiskey Under 50 brings on special guest Aaron to teach us all about the fantastic world of what makes Tiki, Tiki. Join us on this journey as we sample a Tiki cocktail and do a bit of rum tasting.
 
Tiki - a harpoon thrown at the ordinary 

Cheers! 

Amy and Jonathan take a trip up to the great white north and bring back a couple Canadian whiskies under $50 for us to try, eh. Next time you're in Canada give Reifel Rye a try, we think you won't be disappointed. Cheers! 

Happy New Year! This week the gang at Whiskey Under 50 sits down with Amy's brother Travis to drink some whiskey. But Travis doesn't drink whiskey. So how do you teach a whiskey noob to start enjoying the brown water? You throw them into the deep end of the pool. Cheers! 

As 2023 comes to a close, the team of expert tasters at Whiskey Under 50 reminisce about all the good, and bad, whiskey consumed throughout the year. What did we like this year? What was not worth the money? And what would we never buy again? 

See you in 2024 --- Cheers! 

Thank you to all the listeners that have made 2023 a great year for Whiskey Under 50! To round out the year we've made ourselves some holiday cocktails and try a taste of the #20 whiskey of the year (and the only one under 50) the Ezra Brooks 99 Rye. Also, who likes Southern Comfort? Cheers! 

Our friend Joe is back, because he made another potential ill-advised whiskey purchase. Joe picked himself up a Texas Giant - the whiskey brand often maligned by this podcast! But this time it's the rye version instead of the bourbon. Will the rye redeem Texas Giant from the bad taste that is still in our mouths from the bourbon? Or will it go down as yet another off-putting attempt at a whiskey? Guess you have to listen to find out.   Cheers! 

Welcome to another episode of Whisky Under 50! In this episode we tackle some cheap blended Scotch whiskies -- the venerable Chivas Regal, and the popular Jonnie Walker Red Label. And if that wasn't enough, we then really turn it into a party when we add some Drambuie to make Rusty Nail cocktails. 

Rusty Nail cocktail:
2 parts blended Scotch whisky
1 part Drambuie liquor

Cheers!
