Our friends at Campari sent us over the latest Master's Keep from Wild Turkey, a 17 Year Bottled in Bond that we couldn't wait to review.  The fun one with this episode is we released a live video of us recording it, so you can see how we take the raw version and turn it into what you hear on the final episode!

Our friends Mike, Casey, and James started a whiskey company so we sat down with them to find more about it. The interesting thing is that they aren't necessarily about finding a profile and a standard product, but about finding the best barrels they can to allow stores and groups to get barrel picks when they are becoming increasingly hard to find. You'll figure it all out when you listen.  Get y...

The Dads just wanted to have fun and ramble for a bit. John tried the newest DDB Russell's Reserve, Smoked Turkey, and then they both drank the now discontinued Wild Turkey 80 Proof.

Our friend Alex, otherwise known as @ribourbonguy on Instagram, sent us over a blind of four different whiskeys to try. As always, we don't know what they are while we're tasting, but he sent us an envelope with the answers. Don't worry, we'll make sure you know what they are before we go into the notes. An extra bonus is that John got some revenge on Zeke on this one.  Get your liquor shipped to...

During the quarantine time, we figured we'd keep the review train rolling, so John left Zeke a box of samples on his porch so we can get back to doing what we do best.
