More suited for those newer into the whiskey scene, it produces a smooth sip favoring the sweeter side. Whiskey: Traveller Whiskey Price: $40 Proo...

What is up everyone? This episode finishes up our Under $20 January. We got lucky with these. They were all pretty good, at least relatively. Devo picked or final whiskey for this series and surprise surprise, it's a rye. Also, if you have followed along for a while, you probably would guess that Rob would not pick a Jack Daniels bottle. We hope you enjoy a glass with us (unless you are driving, t...

For the 3rd part of under $20 bottles, we have Wild Turkey Bourbon, the first well known one of this segment. If you've followed us for a while, you likely know that we enjoy Wild Turkey 101, but surprisingly, none of us have every had Wild Turkey Bourbon. The big question is, is it still good? Whiskey: Wild Turkey Bourbon Price: $18 Proof: 81 Age: 5 Year Whiskey Talk: The first Night Vision Googl...

Jim Beam Black label is under $20? It sure is. Finally an under $20 bottle from a well known distillery.

Merry Christmas. We hope you and your families have/had a very happy holidays. Well, now to the whiskey. The third batch of Elijah Craig Barrel Proof made some waves this year. Not only did the proof raise some eyebrows, but the age as well. Coming in at 13 years and over 130 proof it is quite the pour. Whiskey: Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Batch C923 Price: $80 Proof: 133 Age: 13 Year Whiskey Talk:...

Merry Christmas to you all. This was an exciting episode since this is probably the hardest to find bottles that we have reviewed. As many of you likely know, Weller, which comes out of the Buffalo Trace Distillery, is a very elusive bottle and if you are lucky enough to find one, it comes with a hefty price tag. Listen in to hear our thoughts and what we feel this bottle is worth. Whiskey: Weller...

This is an abnormal whiskey with a very unusual taste profile. Whistlepig has done some interesting collaborations which started with Big Papi and using maple bats in the aging process. However, this collaboration with the Alfa Romeo F1 team is quite different. They finished these bottles with Lychee and Oolong tea, but does it work? Whiskey: WhistlePig PiggyBack Legends Series: Alfa Romeo FI Team...

This week we review Wild Turkey 101 Rye. If you have been a listener for a while, you already know that Wild Turkey 101 Bourbon is one that we love as a mixer and is a good low cost sipper, but is the Rye just as good? Listen in to find out. Whiskey: Wild Turkey 101 Rye Price: $20-25 Proof: 101 Age: 4 Year Whiskey Talk: This is an older story but a town in Indiana asked the citizens of their town...

We love Old Forester and there are a few bottles that we believe fly under the radar: 1870, 1897, 1910, and 1920. This week we review the 1897 which is their Bottled In Bond bourbon. Old Forester never ceases to disappoint us... Whiskey: Old Forester 1897 Price: $55 Proof: 100 (Bottled In Bond) Age: 4 Year Whiskey Talk: Comedian Matt Rife and his new Netflix special.

Did you know that Old Elk was started in 2013? No? We didn't either. It seems like they have been pretty popular for some time now. We guess that is what happens when you put out a quality product. Thank you for listening. We hope you enjoy!! Whiskey: Old Elk Blended Bourbon Price: $40-45 Proof: 88 Age: 5 Year (Blend of Souced Bourbon Topic: Rob has some questions for Devo about House Work....

Jefferson's Ocean is a whiskey that get's it's fair share of discussion in amongst whiskey drinkers. One of the most common things we have heard is whether or not it is worth the price or does aging it on the boat really help. We take a look at these 2 questions and give you our thoughts. Whiskey: Jefferson's Ocean Price: $85 Proof: 90 Age: At Sea in the Caribbean (Undisclosed) Topic: The nation o...

Is this the next whiskey of the year? Not likely but we can't rule it out since their bottled in bond bourbon managed to get it.

Evan Williams is better known for their black label, bottled in bond, and single barrel, but how is the 1783 small batch. Coming in with a price tag under $20 makes it intriguing. Listen in to get our thoughts.

This is a special episode. A couple of our patrons join us. Buffalo Trace Distiller has arguably the best bourbons, but there is a lot of controversy around the pricing at liquor stores and on the secondary market. Eagle Rare 10 Year is one that follows the pricing trend that comes in way over MSRP. Is it good enough to justify the higher price or should you pass it up for double MSRP? Listen in t...

Green River Distillery out of Owensboro, Kentucky may be a distillery that you have heard of or maybe you didn't even realize it was there when you walked by their bottles at your favorite liquor store. Well, if you have been following us for a while, it is rumored (we have sources) that Broken Barrel has used whiskey distilled by them as well. We hope you enjoy. Whiskey: Hotel Tango Rye Price: $3...

Well, we finally did it. This episode like many others has been long overdue. We reviewed their bourbon when we were doing episodes under Bungholes and Rabbit Holes.

Bulleit, the whiskey beloved by the Whiskey Biz team. A solid staple to the bourbon collection. If the bourbon is good, is the 10 year good? The price is fair and 10 years is a good age, but does it meet expectations?

Hey Y'all, we have an interesting episode this week with another cheap bourbon. In our experience, these episodes are either great because the bourbon sucks or it is boring because it is ok. WE think this episode was good but for a reason different than you may think.

Science meets podcast in this episode as we attempted a scientific experiment with whiskey. Does putting a bottle in a mason jar and aging it with a toasted oak spiral make it taste better? If so, what is the ideal time frame. We put this to the test in this episode. Whiskey: 1792 Small Batch Price: $30 + $10 for Spiral, Mason Jar, and new bottle to put it in Proof: 93.7 Age: Additional 3 months w...
