Savor the Burn: Cocktails & Rock Tales

Usually a conversation starts with a question, and that gives way to the answer. But in this case, Milam and Green provided "The Answer" and boy to give us lots of questions! This two bottle set takes the same distillant, and age it in rickhouses in different states! One in Texas and the other in Kentucky. A perfect storm if you will for a side by side!

Here recently our good friend the KC Kidd (  @Kalimizzou  ) took a trip to Louisville, KY and had an opportunity to visit Michter's Fort Nelson!

Do you all remember the Leopold bros three Chamber Bottled In Bond Straight Rye Whiskey? Boy we sure do!

Once again our buddy  @theamericanjosh  was over and we got into another phenominal bottle from Garrison Brother's. Our buddy Dennis whoe sent us a flight of Garrison Brother's sent us a Balmorhea sample, but I happened to find a bottle locally for a good price, so here we are with the whole bottle! On a later episode we will get back to that sample, because it is from a limited release of...

Our own Jonathan truly is a bear on bath salts when it comes to honey. You put that in a great whiskey, and oh man, what are we getting into? Garrison Brothers does NOT flavor their bourbon with honey flavors, additives, or anything, instead they infuse the raw honey comb locally sourced directly into the bourbon by aging them together! Our buddy Josh is back and along for this ride wiith us. Denn...

Huge, huge shoutout to our good friend in San Antonio, Dennis Narcisco Brand Ambassador for Garrison Brothers and member #166 of the Old 300 Club. Dennis wanted us to have a proper introduction into Texas bourbon, and sent us a bunch of samples from GB.

Our buddy  @theamericanjosh  is back, and this time brought us something from the heart of Texas! Andalusia Whiskey Co, Stryker Texas Smoked Single Malt Finished in Ex-Haak Madeira Casks! Like in the traditional process of Scotch Making, they smoke their barley, however not with peat. In texas, it's all about barbecue, so they use mesquite, hickory, and apple woods for a true bbq style smokiness!...

When we first hear balcones was doing away with their Texas Rye, it didn't make ANY sense to us, until we heard it was being replaced with a Bottled-In-Bond Texas Rye! Now things are much clearer, and a lot more chocolate notes! Let's get into some Texas Rye and see what this amazing rye can do when aged just a little longer! As always, thanks for watching, and "Keep on Burning'!&...
