The octagonal black container is incredible, and the bottle with its surprise coin-containing stopper was even better. But, then we were like, hold up, how good is the whiskey goin...

February 16, 2024 07:30 - 15 minutes - 35.8 MBWe first tasted the regular Barrell Seagrass almost two years ago during a Last Call recap episode (Winter 2022), and we loved it. Recently, though, Brian the Whiskey Explorer came over and brought along its older brother, the Gray Label Seagrass. So, does 16 years of aging and a higher proof justify its higher price over the regular? Or are we in for a disappointing 15 minutes? To find out, you know what to do!

February 09, 2024 18:00 - 18 minutes - 41.6 MBSo, our Jack Daniel’s episode (Episode #56) is by far our most popular download, and if you’re listening to this, it’s almost guaranteed that you’ve already listened to that.

Whiskey Sho(r)t – Old Carter Rye Batch 11 QuickTaste
December 08, 2023 18:07 - 19 minutes - 44.5 MBEven though it sounds (and looks) like some legendary, newly revived, pre-Prohibition whiskey brand, Old Carter is actually only 6 years old, with virtually no backstory and zero ties to the history of whiskey in America. But you wouldn’t know it from the prices they charge or the cult following they’ve achieved. So, that begs the question: Is the ultra-premium, ultra-small-batch brand of sourced spirits all it purports to be? And how the hell did we even score a bottle? Well, you know what ...

Bonus Sho(r)t – Old Pulteney “Pineau Des Charentes” Single Malt QuickTaste
October 20, 2023 19:00 - 12 minutes - 29.3 MBEveryone knows we’re not Scotch guys. We do our best, and we do like it, especially expressions that tend toward Speyside or Highland varieties.

So, just click play to join us (and sip with us) as we explore the whiskey born on the coasts of both Scotland and France. Slàinte and Santé! Music Credits: Freedo...
Whiskey Sho(r)t – W.L. Weller 12 Year QuickTaste
October 13, 2023 19:00 - 15 minutes - 34.5 MBPreviously on the podcast we’ve tried both the Weller Special Reserve (a decent pour) and Weller Antique 107 (a great pour), so when Ed was offered a one-of-a-kind deal on the Weller 12 Year—a highly allocated and highly sought-after expression from one of the world's biggest distilleries, he jumped at the chance. But there was just one tiny little catch, and he had to do something that neither of us has ever done before. So, what was this (possibly nefarious) thing? And does this Weller exp...

June 23, 2023 18:00 - 13 minutes - 31.2 MBOften when you have a just-ok experience with a particular brand that has a bit of a generic name, you might end up ignoring all other versions of it because you figure if one isn’t that great, the rest probably aren’t either.
