Whiskey Biz Podcask

We have a special episode for you. Just another episode, but that's special, right? This week we bring back a rye whiskey from Redwood Empire, which has been a little hit or miss for us. We love their Pipe Dream bourbon but were not the biggest fans of the Lost Monarch. We hope you enjoy Whiskey: Redwood Empire Emerald Giant Price: $40 Proof: 90 Age: 3 Years Topic: We all enjoy watching Dare Devil...

If this is your first episode with us, welcome. If not, Rob and Victor are at it again. This episode is a bit unorthodox as Devo had to step away for a few so we start reviewing the whiskey, go into our whiskey talk, review the whiskey, and finally end up talking about other things. We hope you enjoy. Whiskey: Alberta Premium Cask Strength Rye Price: $70 Proof: 132 Age: 5 Years Topic: We go back t...

Well, this was an episode. Imagine 3 drunk and sleep deprived guys drinking and pushing each other's buttons. That is basically what we have here. Rob get's a taste of his own medicine and Victor is on another level. Whiskey: Four Roses Small Batch Select Price: $50 Proof: 104 Age: 7 Year Topic: This episode is not like others as there were so many rabbit holes along the way, the topic(s) were mix...

Welcome back, have you ever been driving and a car shows up right behind you and you never noticed the car near you? Well, we have and it's weird and concerning when it happens. Following our review, we discuss our experiences with this and our reactions.

What's up everyone?!? We have an interesting episode for you this week. As you may have seen, High West used to have the American Prairie Bourbon, but it appears to have been replaced by the High West Bourbon. Our question was, is it the same, or if it is different, is it similar? Well, we don't want to spoil too much of the surprise so you will have to listen to find out. Following our review we...

What's up fellow whiskey sippers?!? If you are new to the podcask, welcome. If you have been following us, welcome back. As you may know, we did a little trial run with a new podcast name "Bungholes and Rabbit Holes". However, about 5 months in, we found out that Whiskey Biz Podcask had been featured on a top 50 whiskey podcasts list but Bungholes and Rabbit Holes was not. Due to this, we decided...

The time is finally here. It is with excitement and sadness we call an end to "Whiskey Biz Podcask" but not really an end, more of a new beginning with "Bungholes and Rabbit Holes". With that, our loyal followers and patrons wanted to do one final episode with everyone. Make sure to subscribe, rate and review Bungholes and Rabbit Holes so we can get our podcast out there to new people. We apprecia...

This week we have a very special episode. Not only is it Christmas but we are also reviewing the newest release out of Smoke Wagon, their straight rye whiskey. With a low rye mashbill, 51% rye and 49% corn, it is the lowest rye mashbill that we have tried and the lowest amount of rye that it can have and still be a rye whiskey. I know it is jumping the gun a bit early, but if you can find this, ge...

Christmas is coming up quickly and in preparation for the special day, we are reviewing Copper Still Single Barrel Bourbon - Red Label. An interesting whiskey with little excitement outside of an unusual flavor. Listen in for our full review and our first "Bunghole of the Week" which is a prep for our rebranding to "Bungholes and Rabbit Holes" which is where we will post all new episodes starting...

This week we have a bourbon we had not seen before, Copper and Cask Straight Bourbon. The specific bottle we found was a store pick from Bevmo and comes in at a nice proof of 113.6 and is one of a hand full of 110+proofs that we have found/reviewed under $40. It is a nice sipper with balanced palate and a great starter for high proof bourbons. Following our review we discuss sports. Specifically i...

Welcome back fellow whiskey sippers!! We have a long overdue episode. Coming out of Jim Beam Distillery is Basil Hayden Bourbon. Since we are Jim Beam fans, this is one that we have to review. Not only that, the Toast bourbon is one that has received mixed reviews. Is it worth the higher price? That is what we are trying to figure out in this episode. Basil Hayden is notoriously an easier sipper,...

We are back with another classic bourbon. Jefferson's Reserve is a household brand that comes out of Kentucky. A very smooth sipper with a sweeter palate. Good for any whiskey drinker and great for someone newer to bourbon especially with a sub-$40 price point. Following our review, we discuss a topic that likely impacted all of us, remote work. With the spread of Covid, many of us were stuck to o...

We are going back to our roots with this very budget friendly bourbon that we believe comes out of Heaven Hill Distillery. Coming in at $12 per 750ml bottle, it is one of the cheapest whiskeys that we have tried. Surprisingly smooth with a nice sweetness and finish. This is a great starter whiskey or one to have on the shelf for visitors. Listen in for our full review and random whiskey talk with...

In this episode, Whiskey Biz meets Science. You may have heard this before, whiskey has a specific amount of time that it is good for once opened. Also, some say to let their whiskey breathe before trying, meaning open your bottle and let it meet the air for a little before trying it. But does any of this actually matter? Well, that is what we are trying to figure out. Our thought is that there re...

We have a very special episode for you this week. Not only do we have a popular bottle for review, but we also have 3 special guests who are well known on "Bourbon TikTok". Penelope Barrel Strength is a high octane bourbon with nice flavor and plenty of heat. The ethanol may scare away those who are newer to high proof bourbon but will be welcomed by those who enjoy it. Following our review, we ha...

We are back with a couple under $30 whiskeys. Found at Bevmo on sale, the bottles came in around $20. An easy sipper with a nose and palate that do not match at all. Listen in for our full review and our whiskey talk where we discuss IMHO and Penny for your thoughts. Both are interesting statements that most people have heard but we have some strong opinions on these statements in this "Whiskey Ta...

This week we have a highly requested whiskey up for review, Horse Soldier Small Batch Bourbon. A nice easy sipper with enough flavor to satisfy any bourbon drinker. The only complaint that was common was it is a bit mellow. All in all it is an enjoyable sipper and one worth a purchase. Listen in for our full review and our world famous "Whiskey Talk". As always, thank you for listening and "Keep i...

We have a very special guest this week, our Patron/Producer, Kevin joins us to review Peerless Small Batch Bourbon, a whiskey he asked us to review a few months ago. This whiskey is a barrel proof bourbon that comes with a hefty price tag. A nice sipper that come across with more spice than sweetness. It is surprisingly smooth with a nice warmth going down. Listening in for our full review and to...

What?!? A single barrel bourbon for under $30? We thought the only one was Evan Williams Single Barrel but here we have another. This bourbon has a very unique palate and is very smooth. Not a bourbon for all but definitely a unique one that will throw you for a loop with the flavor profile. Listen in for our full review and world famous "Whiskey Talk" where we read and react to funny reviews on d...

This week we have a lesser known whiskey, Incline Rye from Axe and the Oak Distillery located in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Coming in at 98 proof, it has a unique and enjoyable palate and a nice finish. Following our review, we go back to a topic we discussed a while back, youth sport coaches/parents due to a recent situation that Victor experienced. Listen in for our full review and "Whiskey Tal...

If you have followed us for a while, you probably are not surprised that Knob Creek is back and for good reason, they make good whiskey. So far we have done the 9 year (100pf), Single Barrel Select Bourbon and Rye (115 and 120 proof). Does the 12 year stand up at its price point? With the 9 year at $30 and the 12 year at $65 (as of 2022), is it worth twice the amount? We were surprised by this whi...

We have a completely new bourbon, Coppercraft Small Batch Bourbon. A nice, easy sipper with good flavor and a fair price point. Coming in at around $45, it is in the medium price range and can be found in a really nice bottle. Following our review we discuss a plethora of topics starting with some discussion about bourbon/whiskey then going all over the place. As always, thank you for listening an...

What's up guys and gals? We finally made it, Episode 100 is here. It has been a long and fund ride and we are excited for the things to come. We appreciate you all and your support. Back to more about the episode, we were lucky enough to have one of our listeners help us track down a bottle of EH Taylor Single Barrel. What's more fitting than a 100 proof whiskey on our 100th episode, right? He als...

This week we review Michters Single Barrel Rye and Victor is back. He disliked it so much he almost finished the bottle. A rye whiskey that is light on the rye and almost drinks more like a bourbon than a rye but is a smooth sipper that many will enjoy. The low proof or lower rye content could be the contributors here but who knows? Following our review we discuss one of the hottest and most contr...

Puncher's Chance Bourbon is distilled in Kentucky and is a blend of 4, 5 and 6 year bourbons. The first thing you will likely notice is it is in a unique, also pretty cool, bottle. The tricky thing is the bottle (painted black) hides the color of the bourbon. It is lighter in color and as expected, it is a mellow sipper that is on the sweeter side. Listen in for our full thoughts as well as our wh...
