Whiskey Biz Podcask

We have been discussing this for some time (as we have many other great ideas) and it has finally come to fruition. We see premade mixed drinks all of the time, but when one thinks of premade vs fresh, there really is no comparison, or is there? Well to test this out, we tasted the On the Rocks Old Fashioned made with Knob Creek as well as the Whistlepig Ginger Fashioned and Orange Fashioned. What...

Another Jim Beam product on the list, Jim Beam Single Barrel. A nice sipper at a nice proof that is much better than the bottle looks, which is something that we have discussed for some time. Basic bottle, screw top, clear stickers, and other quirks, but don't be surprised by the look. It is a nice sipper with a great proof. Following our review we discuss the Olympics. Listen in for our full revi...

Welcome back!! This week we review Redwood Empire Pipe Dream Bourbon. A nice sipper with more spice than sweet. It kind of reminds you of a feisty ex-girlfriend, well kind of. Not only do we review this one but Devo also tries Eagle Rare for the first time. Unbelievable? Believe it!! Due to the double review, our whiskey talk was a little shorter than usual but not lacking by any means. Listen in...

Football playoffs have been quite interesting this NFL Season and what better way to celebrate them then a review of Bradshaw Straight Rye Whiskey. A unique rye experience that does not disappoint. The blend of smooth and spice makes this very enjoyable and worth a try. What kind of episode would this be if we didn't also bring back Bradshaw Bourbon for a rewind and to verify our ratings have not...

Well, this was an interesting review with Giant Texas Bourbon. It was requested that we review Giant Texas Single Barrel but we have not been able to find it so we figured this was the next best thing. However, it was not the best choice, actually, this has been our worst rated whiskey to date. To make it up to you, we ended up doing a second review where we reviewed Redemption High Rye Bourbon. W...

We finally went back to our roots with rating under $20 bottles. This week we have Jim Beam Double Oak Bourbon which comes in around $17. A nice easy sipper at a heck of a price point. The bottle got a little bit of an update but can easily be found as the bottle is the same as the others but it has a nice navy blue label. Following our review we have our world famous "Whiskey Talk" where we try t...

Welcome back fellow whiskey lovers, or if you just like us for our banter, welcome back. This week we have a special Rob has Covid episode where we review Fistful of Bourbon. A bourbon that is actually a blend of 5 straight bourbon whiskeys that they source and blend. A very interesting idea that appears to have worked out very well. A nice easy sipper with plenty of flavor. The only downfall for...

Happy New Year!! We could not have picked a better whiskey to start the New Year than Pikesville Straight Rye Whiskey. A great sipper with a nice balance of spice, sweetness, and heat. Coming in at 110 proof, it is not quite barrel strength but gives this rye enough of a punch to keep this memorable for anyone sipping it. Listen in for our full review and our spicy whiskey talk where we start with...

We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas. To ring in the New Year, we wanted to do a bit pricier of a bourbon. To date this is our most expensive bottle coming in at $100. We all have seen bottles like this that are a bit more expensive which makes us a bit more hesitant to purchase. That's where we come in. Is it worth it or not? Listen in and get our thoughts and hear our journey through a few...

This week we have hot new bourbon up for review, Brother Bond Straight Bourbon Whiskey. The brand that is owned by Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley who are better known for their parts in The Vampire Diaries TV Show. This 4 grain bourbon is a very easy sipper and great for someone getting into bourbon as well as a smooth sipper at the end of the night. Listen in for our full review and our world fa...

This week we review Redemption Bourbon. Redemption has made an appearance in multiple episodes with their Rye, Wheated Bourbon, and now their regular Bourbon. It is a mellow sipper with pretty generic bourbon flavors. Listen in for our full review. Following our review, we go through a list of 25 bourbons you must try during your life and give our thoughts. As always, thank you for listening and "...

Manhattans are a tasty drink when made right and add a little class to mixed drinks that use whiskey. This episode we blind taste 4 Manhattans using different Rye Whiskeys that we have done reviews on: Bulleit Rye, Redemption Rye, Sazerac Rye, and Rittenhouse Rye. Our final thoughts were different than what we had originally expected. Listen in for our full review and our whiskey talk where we sta...

Devo made a heck of a selection for this special episode. Heaven's Door Single Barrel Bourbon Cask Strength is a tasty sipper that is great for those newer to high proof bourbons. Listen in for our full review and our "Whiskey Talk" where we discuss a variety of things including Thanksgiving and traditions (or lack of them). As always, thank you for listening and "Keep it neat friends". Email: whi...

This week we have a patron requested whisky up for review, Pike Creek 10 Year Canadian Whisky. It is a smooth whiskey that is secondarily aged in Rum Barrels, giving it some characteristics of rum. A great transition to whisk(e)y if you are a rum drinker. Listen in for our full review and stay to hear us try another whiskey, Michter's Small Batch Bourbon. Thank you for listening and as always, "Ke...

What's up guys and gals, fellow whiskey sippers? This week we have another Tennessee whiskey, Dickel 8 Year Bourbon. Like Jack Daniels, this is charcoal filtered and has a very unique flavor similar to what you would find in Jack Daniels. Listen in for our full review as well as our "Whiskey Talk" where we decided on doing a topic again. This week we discuss apparel/clothing in casual wear as well...

This may be one of the best kept secrets in the bourbon world. Rebel 100 is a nice sipper with great flavor and an enjoyable palate. Following our review of Rebel 100 we bring out another surprise bourbon that many will be interested to hear about. To give you a hint, the distillery that makes this bourbon tends to use red wax to cover the top. As for the version, you will have to wait and see. As...

Happy Halloween!! This week we have a couple high octane "Boo"urbons, Barrel Bourbon Dovetail and Barrel Bourbon Armida. A couple very unique bourbons with good heat and a lot of flavor. Listen in for our full reviews and our world famous "Whiskey Talk". As always, thank you for listening and "Keep it neat friends". Email: whiskeybizpodcask@gmail.com IG and TikTok: whiskeybizpodcask Patreon: www.p...

There is one thing that is certain with this bourbon, they put everything about what it is in the name. That's right, it is a bourbon aged secondarily in beer barrels. To be more precise, New Holland created this unique bourbon by aging the bourbon in their Dragons Milk Stout barrels, which makes for a very unique flavor profile. Listen in for our full review as well as our "Whiskey Talk" where we...

Well this last year has flown by. For our 1 year anniversary, we wanted to look back at our first 3 episodes and see how our ratings stood up to our current palates. Surprisingly, our palates have not changed much but some of our thoughts on these bourbons have changed. Listen in for our full re-reviews of these 3 staple bourbons and our usual rabbit holes. As always, thank you for listening and "...

It might be a bit premature, but I think we may have found the best budget lineup at this time. With that being said, this episode we finish reviewing the remaining Benchmark bottles, Small Batch, Bottled In Bond, and Single Barrel. There was not one bottle that we did not feel was enjoyable and well worth the money. Chris joins us this episode and tries the whole lineup. Following our reviews on...

What's up everyone?!? Welcome back to one of our favorite recordings to date. The whole purpose of this podcast has been to find the best under $30 bottle we can as well as the best lineups to try out. Well, we may have made some progress here. In Part 1 of the benchmark episodes (2 total), we review, Benchmark No. 8, Benchmark Top Floor, and Benchmark Full Proof. In Part 2 we will review Benchmar...

Well, we have a special one for you this week. Larceny Barrel Proof bourbon is the first high proof wheated bourbon we have reviewed to date. Regretfully, we may have picked a terrible time with the Heaven Hill strike going on recently. We fully respect their decision to strike and wish the best for their workers. With that being said, this is full bodied bourbon that is smooth and enjoyable. List...

This week we have not only one bonded whiskey, but 2 that we put head to head and do a full review. The 2 bottled in bond whiskeys we reviewed were Evan Williams Bottled in Bond (White Label) and Old Granddad Bottled in Bond. Both are tasty sippers with very unique palates. Following our review, we discuss what quite possibly may be the most controversial topic at this time, the mask mandate. List...

What?!? Whiskey Biz is doing an Irish Whiskey. We were a bit surprised by our own decision, but we had a listener request that we review this bottle. Knappogue (Nuh-Pogue) 12 Year is an Irish Whiskey aged in Bourbon Barrels that is a mellow but enjoyable sipper. It has a mild spice and sweetness that slowly grows on you and you sip it longer. Listen in for our full review and our world famous "Whi...

The highest proof under $30 to date. The 114 was not their favorite number, but the actual proof of the whiskey. Likely the highest proof to price out there but the biggest question is, "Is it good?" and that is what we are here for. Listen in for our full review and our world famous "Whiskey Talk" where we discuss the upcoming NFL season, a little bit about fantasy, and almost miss our golf tee t...
