The Dads Review 2017 (and Crown our Whiskey of the Year)
January 03, 2018 07:31 - 39 minutes - 35.8 MBJohn and Zeke do a side-by-side of four of the most touted whiskeys in 2017: E.H. Taylor Four Grain, Elijah Craig Barrel Proof, Barrell Batch 011, and Four Roses Al Young 50th Anniversary to crown our first ever Dads Drinking Bourbon Whiskey of the Year. They also review 2017 in general and talk about other releases and things that they liked about the year. Thank you for all your support over the past year! Intro/Outro: springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"
Let it Snow Let it Snow Let it Snow
December 27, 2017 14:07 - 36 minutes - 33.5 MBJohn and Zeke are again joined by Ryan Lay, and although it didn't snow in Nashville, the dads brought some to town through Stranahan's by reviewing their "Snowflake". To make it interesting (and more accessible), they put it up in a blind tasting against the Stranahan's Yellow Label and Sherry finished whiskey along with a bourbon from Distillery 291, also out of Colorado. How did they do in the blinds? It might make you #rethinkhowyoudrink Intro/Outro: springtide "Fall Asleep Under the M...
Craft Distilling with Heath Clark
December 20, 2017 05:11 - 59 minutes - 54.6 MBSo you want to open a craft distillery? Sounds good in practice, but listen as the dads were lucky enough to sit down with Heath Clark to learn what actually goes into it. This episode is full of great information as to how the H Clark Distillery started and how it got to where it is now. Don't say we can't get serious, because you may walk away with a lot of knowledge from this one. Thank you Heath for the time and great whiskey! Intro/Outro: springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of ...
Is this Bourbon the "Key" to the Millennials?
December 13, 2017 20:05 - 34 minutes - 31.7 MBThe dads discuss Blade and Bow and Zeke's time at their Nashville whiskey release party with our friend Ryan Lay. Diageo is hoping to make this an "everyday rare" which begs the question if it beats the everyday rare that we already know in Weller Special Reserve. Ryan is someone John and Zeke text pretty regularly about bourbon, so you may get an insight into some of what we might talk about with each other daily about bourbons and brands. Intro/Outro: springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Mi...
'Tis the Season to Bourbon on a Budget
December 06, 2017 04:42 - 30 minutes - 14 MBHappy Whiskey Wednesday! Since it is the holiday season and we know you all are spending money on gifts for family and friends, so we reached down low and pulled out a Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond, Old Grand Dad Bottled-in-Bond, Eagle Rare, and Larceny to give our tasting notes and talk a little bit more about finding a quality bourbon for under $30 dollars. #rethinkhowyoudrink and you can have a great experience on a budget. Cheers! Intro/Outro Music: springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Mill...
A 'Lil Dab, A Distillers Cut, and Some Yellowstone
November 29, 2017 07:48 - 41 minutes - 38.1 MBWe were lucky enough to have one of our good friends @alildabofbourbon visit us in person in Nashville to help us drink some of the 2017 Yellowstone Limited Edition Bourbon that the good folks at Limestone Branch were nice enough to send us, as well as teach us a few things since she's a Whiskey Sommelier! Since it wouldn't be a Dads Drinking Bourbon episode without a blind tasting, we also put Jim Beam Distiller's Cut up against Bookers' and a Lincoln Road Knob Creek Pick. Cheers!
The War of the (Four) Roses
November 23, 2017 03:33 - 30 minutes - 28.4 MBHappy Thanksgiving everyone! We wanted to make sure you had something fun to listen to if you had to drive, so we made sure we got this one out to you in time. This week, we put two Four Roses juggernauts against each other: 2017 SmBLE vs. Al Young. For good measure, we also put two picks from two of our favorite stores in the blind tasting because their recipes can be found in the other expressions: an OESK from Elixir Spirits in Spring Hill, TN and an OBSV from Carothers Wine and Spirits i...
A Sip of Old Rip
November 17, 2017 15:20 - 27 minutes - 25.6 MBIt's Pappy season, and although we aren't lucky enough to say we've got our hands on one this year (Nashville's rough y'all), we relied on some kindness and generosity to put up an Old Rip Van Winkle against two Weller Antique 107 store picks, one that was non-chill filtered and one that was chill filtered, in a blind tasting in an attempt to see if there's really that much of a difference besides a few extra years of aging. Cheers!

The place where we get together Sunday nights live on Instagram and take a deeper look at the whiskey we tried earlier in the week in a quest to #rethinkhowyoudrink. What happens when we get together a bourbon newbie, a food blogger, and the dads to do a 5 whiskey blind tasting including Peerless Rye, Thomas H. Handy, Barrell Rye, Davidson Reserve Rye, and Whistlepig? Listen and find out! Intro and Exit Music: Spring Tide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"
Meet the Dads (and we review Peerless Rye)
November 09, 2017 22:36 - 36 minutes - 33.2 MBWelcome everyone and thank you for stumbling upon the first episode ever of the Dads Drinking Bourbon podcast. We know you may have seen us on Instagram or Facebook, but we figured it was about time that we made it easier for you to listen. The wives and kids are asleep, and we've traded the kids bottles for a Peerless Rye. Since we always want you to #rethinkhowyoudrink we've put this one up for a blind tasting against Barrel Rye and Michter's Barrel Strength Rye. Listen as we try to figure...
