Dads Drinking Bourbon

Thanks to our friend Bryant, we got our hands on a sample of Booker's 30th. To make things interesting, we put it side-by-side with a regular Booker's "Tommy's Batch" to see how this compares to a Booker's off the shelf. Hope you enjoy. Cheers! Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

This episode, the Dads see what Memphis has to offer when they sip on Old Dominick's Huling Station which was a pre-prohibition bourbon brought back to life. This is a 100 proof NAS bourbon, but with former Wild Turkey distiller Alex Castle at the helm, the Dads are really interested to see what this one is all about. Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

The Dads were pretty lucky to come across some Michter's 20 Year, so we knew we had to share it with all of you. We found out after the fact there were two batches. Ours was 18I1372, but we heard only great things about the other batch. Cheers, hope you enjoy! Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

Proving yet again that we're not afraid of trying some new things, this week we set our sites on Ireland and Powers John's Lane 12 Year Old Irish Whiskey. Admittedly, John is more of a fan of the offerings from across the pond than Zeke, but we assure this you this is a fun ride you'll want to take with us. The open alone is worth the price of admission. Thank you to Powers for sending this our wa...

Every once in a while we get our hands on a special bottle that is one of a kind. This Angel's Envy Rye Cask Strength Unicorn Blend is one of those bottles. Not released to the public, Zeke worked some magic to have this bottle find its way into the Dads hands. Although you can't find it in the stores, we hope you enjoy this episode anyway. Cheers! Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Mi...

Every year Stranahan's releases a limited edition blend called Snowflake but is also named after one of Colorado's fourteeners (that's one of their mountains over 14,000 ft.). This year brings Mount Elbert, the tallest of the 58 and it was sent to us by one of our good friends who happens to be tall like a mountain with a personality to back it up, Nate from 5280 Whiskey. Listen and find out what...

Yes, you weren't seeing things in the title. We were lucky enough to get our hands on some premium Tequila and we're not ones to shy away from something new or outside our wheelhouse. The good folks at Compoveda Extra Anejo Tequila sent us some of their product to try and we couldn't wait. It's definitely worth a listen. Cheers! Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

The Dads were fortunate enough to receive a care package from Sean Josephs at Pinhook with their first True Single Barrel out of New Orleans (don't worry there will be 35 more this year across the US) and their newest rye, Rye Humor. This one will really make you #rethinkhowyoudrink. Cheers! Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

The Dads were finally lucky enough to get their hands on a bottle of New Riff's Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon (thanks New Riff) that has been a bottle on their radar for a while. They also sample a New Riff private pick sent to them by their friend Steve Clem. Hope you all enjoy! Intro/Outro: Springtide: Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars

After a week off to tend to some family things, the Dads are back and reviewing Cream of Kentucky. There were only 9,000 bottles of this release which Jim Rutledge has resurrected as the first bottle to come from his new distillery. Hope you all enjoy! Cheers! Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars

The Dads taste Scratch Corn Whiskey and Sweet Heat Brown Sugar Cinnamon Whiskey from Springfield Distillery from Springfield Distillery in Halifax County, VA. Cheers!  Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

We're not going to lie to you, this episode is not full of blinds and side-by-sides. We just wanted to ring in the new year with three friends sitting around telling stories and drinking whiskey. At the end of the day, that's what it's all about and we're thankful for all the friendships we've made through whiskey. This is just a fun episode to start the year off right. Hope you enjoy! Cheers! Int...

Happy New Year! In our last HOP of 2018, we take a look at King of Kentucky (yes, we really got ahead of this review... sorry for the delay) and Zeke tells a funny story that you won't want to miss. Hope you all have a great NYE and celebrate safely! Cheers. Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

In this week's episode, the Dads take a few minutes to reflect on the year in whiskey before tasting a set of 5 blind samples sent to us by our friend Chris Walters. What was your favorite whiskey in 2018? Did you have one you really liked? Were there some you were disappointed by? We want to hear from you, let us know! Cheers! Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

Merry Christmas! The Dads review two bottlings from this year's Buffalo Trace Antique Collection: George T. Stagg and Thomas H. Handy. That's pretty much all you need to know on this one. Hope you enjoy! Cheers. Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

We love blind tastings. They are the best way to remove bias and truly hone in on your palate. We love them even more when our friends send them to us and we have absolutely know idea what could possibly be in the glass until we try it. This week, we have a 7 whiskey blind tasting from our friend Alex (better known as @bourbonandbeerri on Instagram). All we know is that these are most likely store...

The folks from Big River Distillery in Memphis, Tennessee sent us Batch 2 of their Blue Note Bourbon so naturally the Dads had to drink it and review it. Thanks for sending it our way! Hope you all enjoy. Cheers! Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

The Dads took a field trip down to Elixir Spirits to try Old Forester 1910 with our friends Tarak, Greg, and Patrick. Although we recorded in the car on the way down, we just didn't think any of it was any good with us just talking. What you're left with is a fun episode with friends where we review Old Forester 1910 against Early Times Bottled-in-Bond. Hope you enjoy! Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fal...

The good folks at Virgil Kaine were nice enough to send us a bottle of their limited edition Roundhouse Double Barrel, so we figured we had to crack it open and give it at try. This is coming in a 49.3% ABV and 98.6 proof with only 3,200 bottles out there and an MSRP of $50. Hope you all enjoy! Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

It's hard to believe that it's already been a year since we switched our format to primarily podcasts. Well, it's actually been longer than that but in true Dads style, we're late to our own celebration. This week, we revisit the first bottle we ever reviewed, Peerless Rye, by putting picks from Lincoln Road, Straight Up, and Jack Rose against the regular small batch. Cheers! Intro/Outro: Springti...

Our friend Ryan sent us a sample of Blaum Bros Knotter Rye months ago. We feel really bad, but with life and new babies, we were just able to get to it now. As always, we strive to give a fair review, giving our tasting notes so that you have the opportunity to decide for yourselves if you will like it. Cheers! Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

The Dads are back from a short Thanksgiving break with a jam packed episode with two straight up reviews of Heaven Hill 27 year and a sneak peek of H Clark Distillery's Bottled-in-Bond which is long awaited and will be released at the distillery on December 8th. At the end, we also discuss Old Ezra Barrel Strength. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and cheers! Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asl...

We had set out to record an episode reviewing Heaven Hill 27 this week, but got a little side tracked. So you'll have to wait until next week to hear it. But until then, here's a half ounce pour review we did of Garrison Brother's Balmorhea that was sent to us from a listener (thank you!). Hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving! Cheers. Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of St...

The dads are joined by the one and only Bruce Russell for a great conversation. We answer all your burning questions around Wild Turkey and learn more about Bruce, what he likes, and what he'd like to see in the future. Plus, we have a call to the bullpen and Justin from Barrels and Brews fills in when dad duty calls for Zeke. Trust us, you won't want to miss this one. Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fal...

We're lucky to be sent some whiskey and from time to time, we just can't think of what to put it up against for a full episode. So, we've decided to get these to you in what we're calling 1/2 oz pour episodes. These are just quick 10-15 min episodes where we do a straight review of something that may have been sent to us from a distillery or directly from one of you. Today we sip on Clyde May's Ry...
