Happy Thanksgiving! This is our 150th Episode. We have an announcement at the end. That is all.

First, the guys talk about a bizarre whiskey glass that Will is using today. Then, they decide to see if a special guest will join them on the show... so you'll have to listen to find out how that goes! Then, after the 15, they drink A Midwinter Night's Dram from High West.  We want to thank Eagle Rare for making this show possible. Go vote for your favorite story on EagleRareLife.com .

A bit of a unique episode, as Will and the Greeze have to record remotely. Greeze had some health scares pop up around his home, which he elaborates on. Then Will talks about his wife's new found taste for bourbon cocktails. Then, after the 15, they try a store pick of Blaum Bros. OldFangled Knotter Bourbon. Enjoy. Thanks to Eagle Rare for supporting the show. Make sure to go vote for the Eagle Ra...

First, Will brings up an article he read in the New York Times about some ultra aging going on at Buffalo Trace, and to his surprise, Greeze read it! You can read that article here . Then they start taking some listener questions, which were submitted on the Podcaskers facebook group. Then, after the 15, they try Joseph Magnus straight bourbon whiskey, triple-cask finished.  Thanks to our sponsor...

Because a lot of our PodCaskers have been digging into the archive of the show, Will and the Greeze thought they would give a top 5 list of the best experiences they have had since starting the show. These experiences are whiskey focused, but a common theme emerges from them. It's a wonder that Greeze doesn't cry in this episode. Then, after the 15, the two drink High West Double Rye which was fin...

In this very special Barn Night, Will, Greeze, Joe Bourbon, and Chris are joined by our friends Chase and Joshua for a night of competitive blind tasting, and mind-blowing whiskey. The theme for the competition was 100 proof whiskey. Sit back, pour a drink, prepare for greatness. 

Yeah, we know it isn't a Star Wars bourbon. Yes, it's a bad joke in the title. Deal with it! First, the guys try James T. Kirk Straight Bourbon Whiskey that their buddy Logan brings over. Then, they go off on some rabbit trails. Then, they talk about the professional wrestling show that they produced: Dojo Pro. Then, they try Smooth Ambler Old Scout American Whiskey Single Barrel Select from Elixi...

Will and the Greeze tackle some samples sent by listener Alex over a year ago. They are labeled Mystery 1, Mystery 2, and Mystery 3. They will remain a mystery, because it has been so long that Alex lost the list of what he sent us. We think one was a rum. Another may be Knob Creek. Who's to say? Then, after the 15, we drink Warrior Whiskey from Steamboat Whiskey Company. Then, we decided to do an...

A delayed episode, due to Greeze returning from vacation. He's super excited to recount his experience at Disney, that Will just lets him ramble about it for a while. Fortunately, he did have some good bourbon drinks while in Florida. Then, after the 15, they try the Weller 107 "Aged Ham" pick from Southern Whiskey Society. 

Will and the Greeze head out to the MADE SOUTH barn for another barn night with Joe Bourbon and Chris. The rules for this round are as follows: 1) all whiskey must be bourbon; 2) proof must be in the range of 101-110; 3) NO GREEZY BLENDS! Also, this is Will's first show back drinking, so what a time to be alive!   

First, Will talks about month without bourbon, as it comes to a close. Then, they talk about the stats of the upcoming BTAC release. Which leads to a rant from Will about small business and secondary market and price models... Then, after the 15, Greeze tries Backbone Uncut Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Enjoy. 

Greeze goes to the store for him to buy himself some drinks, since Will is still not drinking. He cracks open a canned Chardonnay, so that sets the Greezy mood just right. Then, Will blinds him. Then, after the not-so-15, Greeze tries Slow & Low Rock and Rye. Enjoy.   

Will takes a month off of drinking whiskey for Bourbon Heritage Month, and it dominates the beginning of the show. Greeze gets deep, folks! Then, they talk to Andy Chapman from Eat Y'all about an event at Leiper's Fork Distillery on Sept. 25. You can find out more about that at  https://eatyall.com/connect-september-25-2018-leipers-fork-franklin-tn/ . Then, they talk about Hunter's Select Barrel T...

This episode is the remainder of the Souther Whiskey Society event, and we cram quite a lot in. We recorded with Jimmy Sharp from the John Emerald Distilling Company in Opelika, AL, Perry Ritter from This is My Bourbon Podcast, Eric Roundtree from Tree House Macarons, and Dixon Dedman. Lots to unpack and we were several hours deep, so just try and take it all in!  

This is the first of multiple episodes coming out of Southern Whiskey Society Batch 2. Joining us on this episode are Chris Thomas, Suzie Q from Buffalo Trace, and our buddy Tim Gunderman.  More shows to come, but this is a great taste of early in the evening.  

First, Will and the Greeze talk about endless shrimp coming in the next few months. Then Greeze brings over some alleged Elmer T. Lee at Barrel Strength, but it was in a mason jar and Will doesn't necessarily believe him. Then they try a blind sample from Brandon Rice, and Will sort of guesses it. Then, after the 15, Will and the Greeze drink some 2017 Birthday Bourbon for in honor of his daughter...

This edition of Barn Night we decided to do a cocktail competition, with each cocktail needing an element of creativity added. But before we get to that, we hold a kangaroo court to serve justice on Greeze. He betrayed Joe Bourbon's trust by opening the beaver bourbon at the studio without Joe B. being present.  After sentencing, the cocktail competition beings. Below are the recipes if you would...

First, Will and the Greeze get in a passionate discussion about Kentucky Owl Batches 1 & 2... and drink both on a fresh crack. That takes up the entire first half the show. Then, after the 15, they drink Russell's Reserve Single Barrel. The rest is in the details.  Buy us a drink at http://patreon.com/thepodcask Come hang out with us at the Southern Whiskey Society event on August 25, 2018 -- tick...

First, Will and the Greeze talk about how Greeze got food poisoning. Then they try some random whiskey from New Hampshire (wink, wink). Then, after the 15, they try Lot 40 Cask Strength 12 Year Old Rye. Then Will opens a Rhetoric 24 and they finish the show with it.  Buy us a drink at www.patreon.com/thepodcask  

First, Will and the Greeze talk about a listener who is doing something incredible, about pirate habits, and about how Greeze would like to attempt to sail across the ocean. Then for the 15, we try something new. Greeze stopped at the liquor store to pick up something we have never tried before and brought it over for us to drink. Will had no idea he was doing this, nor of what quality he was pick...

Will and the Greeze trek out to the MADE SOUTH barn to drink some whiskey, and have a little friendly competition. In this edition, Joe Bourbon set the rules: all whiskey must be under 100 proof. See how it all turns out, in this edition of barn night.  Also: make sure to get your tickets to Southern Whiskey Society. August 25, 2018 in Franklin, TN. Some big reveals about this year's event happen...

Will and Greeze realized, the night before Greeze was leaving for vacation, that they didn't have an episode for the week. So they did a remote show (Will at his own house and Greeze at his), and they let the PodCaskers watch them record it live! They talked about how people's tastes change (like Greeze's new love of Eagle Rare), the perfect bar to try our whiskies ranked "bar," and then Greeze te...

First, Greeze thinks he can stump Will by blinding him with George T. Stagg, William Larue Weller, and Lincoln Road's Jack Daniels Single Barrel Select. He was wrong, for obvious reasons. Then we have some delightful samples from our buddy Jon ( @j5bourbons on Instagram). It includes JPS 25, Dusty 8yr 101 Wild Turkey, Old Rip Van Winkle from the 70s, and some Eagle Rare. Then, after the 15, we try...
