When you're fancy like us you can't always drink that swill that is under $50. In this week's episode we go north of the $50 mark to see if the added price really gets you a better whiskey. The results surprised us and will likely surprise you as well. 

It's the annual Whiskey Under 50 St Patrick's Day episode! This year we sample a new-to-us offering from Jameson called the Black Barrel, an unknown whiskey blend called the Glass Manor, and a stalwart Irish whiskey - the Red Breast 12 year. Are any of them better than the others? Give a listen and find out. Slante!

This week we go down the Beam bottled in bond rabbit hole trying the Old Tub against its cousin the Old Grand-Dad. But then we decide to get the Old Overholt off the shelf, another Beam bottled in bond, and compare it to the Tub and Grand-Dad. By now you're probably as confused by all these Beam bottled in bond products as we are - so you should give us a listen to see which of these three we like the best. 

When you think of the things Missouri is known for, people tend to think of Super Bowl champions or BBQ, and not whiskey. But that doesn't mean the state doesn't have some good whiskey to offer.  Nathan recently traveled to St Louis and brings back a single malt from Spirit of St Louis Distillery and a bourbon from Switchgrass Spirits that he thinks Amy and Jonathan will enjoy. Cheers! 

Ever buy a whiskey off the shelf based entirely on how the bottle looks, without doing any research first? We bring Nathan's brother Aaron onto the episode to taste a couple whiskies we may have done that with. Listen to this episode and learn from our mistakes! Cheers!

Ever had a boxed whiskey? What about a Canadian whiskey, aged 6 years, that comes in a fancy black box? That's what we're trying this week, and to give it some comparison we bring back an old standard - the Kirkland Signature Canadian whiskey. Even if you don't think boxed whiskies would be your thing, we give you several ideas for why they are advantageous. 

Does whiskey pair well with some food like wine? In this week's episode we pick three whiskies we think will pair well with some common Valentine's Day candy and put that theory to the test. Follow along to see how we did and get the Valentine in your life some good whiskey under $50. Cheers!

Today we sample some of Cali's finest rye whiskies when we put the well-known Redwood Empire against a little-known cask strength whiskey that goes by Riptide. Does aging a whiskey so close to the ocean impart some form of salty low-tide ocean scent? I don't think so but one of us does. Give a listen to find out who, and with what whiskey. Cheers! 

This BONUS episode was recorded just after we recorded the Jack Daniels Bonded episode. Amy was adamant that the JTS Brown was better, so we had to do a quick impromptu side by side. 

You can't sell a Billion dollars' worth of product a year and not be good at it, right? Well ... this week we give a taste to Jack Daniels and their, relatively, new release the Jack Daniels Bonded. You know the regular black label but do you know the bonded? Give a listen and find out!
