Happy Friday, Friends, and welcome to a special Bonus Episode of Whiskey Tequila Fridays!

It's no secret the Boys love Tom Hanks.  They talk about him almost every episode, but none of it makes the final cut.  Until today.

Today the Boys share two of those Tom Hanks Geek Outs from the many they have recorded!

So grab a bottle of whiskey, a bottle of tequila, invite your friends, listen and sip along, ponder the wonder that is Tom Hanks, and Make It A Happy Friday!™

The Boys finally pair the remaining Great Lakes Tequila Club pick with a whiskey, and it definitely gets adventurous. Matt talks way too much about a type of whiskey that he is not that fond of (Canadian) while Drew reveals he knows too much about Costco’s rotisserie chicken profits.

Well, y'all, today may be the day the Boys break the internet with a show that has never been done before.  The first of its kind.  

A little more than a year ago, the Boys opened two fresh bottles.  Matt uncorked a Michter's Unblended American Whiskey and Drew broke the seal on a Tequila Don Fulano Reposado.  They recorded that fresh neck pour and then put the bottles aside. 

But then they did what has never been done on any spirits podcast: They revisited them every few months, recording how the bottles changed over the course of a full year.

And so here it is, a full year in the making, the full arc of two spirits from neck pour to bottle kill!

The QuickSips™ are too numerous to describe, but believe me, the Boys found another beautiful pairing!

These bottles are on the shelf, so scoop 'em up, fill your cup, invite your friends, listen and sip along and Make It A Full Year Of Happy Fridays™!

Today, the Boys imbibe on some bottles with bits of blackberry and barrel funk. Matt’s barrel strength bourbon was a purchase from Slightly Toasted in Chicago, and Drew’s Anejo was a gift from the folks at NOM 1414 at the Sabor y Cultura event in Chicago about a month ago.

Find some similar bottles, invite your buds, plop down, listen and sip along, and Make It A Happy Friday™!

Hello and welcome to a special anniversary edition of Whiskey Tequila Fridays.  Today, the Boys celebrate 3 years of shenanigans with three special QuickSips™!

Find out what their three favorite pairings of the past year were as the Boys recap the past years' episodes, tastings, and guests, and also tease a little of what's to come.

Grab your favorite QuickSip™ from the past 12 months, invite your friends, share a pour, listen and sip along, and Make It A Happy Friday™!

Hello and Happy Friday!  This episode is a first for the Boys: Their first appearance on another podcast!

A few months back, the Boys had the pleasure of sipping blind with Brad Niccum, host of Tasting Tequila with Brad.  Brad's show is a fun mix of tequila reviews, guest interviews, and informative content. 

For this episode, he invited the Boys to sip a few blancos blind, and the results were surprising.  You'll have to listen to find out what happened!

This one was a lot of fun!  Why not scoop up a few blancos yourself, invite your friends, blind those pours and see what happens.  Then sit back, listen and sip along, and Make It A Happy Friday™!

Today, the Boys explore two bottles with deep layers of complexity, or Complex on Complex. 

Matt brings a mouthful: Cedar Ridge American Single Malt Whiskey Quintessential Single Cask Malloy's Anejo Tequila Cask Finish.  You work up a powerful thirst just reading the label!  It has so many complex flavors, and at 122 proof, this one packs a punch.

Drew brings the Cambio Tequila Anejo, which also boasts complex flavors.  This brand is quickly becoming on of the Boys' favorite, and at 92, the extra proof doesn't hurt.

The QuickSips™ bring cascading layers of flavors, and both Boys decide one way is a clear winner.

It may be hard to find this exact store pick, but Cedar Ridge is out there, as is Cambio Tequila, and both at great prices. 

So scoop up these bottles, invite your friends, listen and sip along, and Make It A Happy Friday™!
