WTF - Whiskey Tequila Fridays Podcast

What happens when the boys record in the garage when temps approach 100 degrees?  A short episode with a lot of outtakes! What happens when the boys find two beautiful bottles, available almost everywhere and all the time?  They tell you to RUN to the liquor store and sip along! Today Matt brings the Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey and Drew brings Siete Leguas Reposado.  The nose an...

This Friday the boys continue the "Summer of Blanco"!!!  No brown liquor here today...  This time it's Drew's turn with a High Proof Blanco Lineup! The boys hope you'll sip along as they blind taste: Calle 23 Criollo (98.6 Proof) Tapatio 110 Terralta 110 Herradura Blanco 92 Proof The boys bring back the Herradura Blanco 92 proof to put it through the gauntlet against the Calle 23 Criollo.  Will it...

The boys finally did it...  They let Matt off the leash so he can go full geek on a gorgeous High Proof Bourbon Lineup! Pull up a chair and a glass and sip along as the boys blind taste: Booker's Bourbon 2019-02 Shiny Barrel Batch, Booker's Bourbon 2020-30 Pigskin Batch 1792 Full Proof Bourbon, Maker's Mark Cask Strength Bourbon, and, last but certainly never least: The Col.

Spring has sprung, and the boys are happy to share a few bottles with a soft, refreshing palate for those warm days and enough proof to keep you warm once the sun goes down! Matt brings the Yellowstone American Single Malt Whiskey at 108 proof, and Drew brings a special Herradura Tequila Blanco 92 Proof.  The QuickSips™ are sublime and the boys can't decide the winner in a split decision.  Matt ch...

The boys noticed that the question they get most often is something like, "I've never tried whiskey/tequila before.  Where should I start?"  So here we go with Beginner Buys 2! (or is it Deux?)  In this episode, the boys bring two bottles they think are perfect for beginners, experts, and everyone in between.  Matt brings Russell's Reserve 10 Year Bourbon, and Drew brings Espolon Reposado.  Each b...

Remember when CDs and DVDs had hidden bonuses called "Easter Eggs"?  And if you listened or watched long enough, you'd stumble across something amazing? This week the boys bring yet another set of bottles that boast double barrel beauty!  Matt brings Legent Bourbon, the bottle that celebrates the collaboration between Beam and Suntory.  Drew brings Excellia Reposado, the slightly less aged version...

Today the boys bring bottles that have a little extra barrel influence.  Once again, these two bottles go perfectly together!   Matt shares the Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Bourbon, aged in two oak barrels with different characteristics. Drew shares the Excellia Anejo, aged in two barrels that previously held two different spirits. The QuickSips™ bring waves of both mouth-watering and mouth dryin...

Happy Friday!  Today the boys bring two special treats: Matt brings an Australian Whisky made of 100% wheat, the Starward Single Barrel Single Grain, and Drew brings a 20+ year old bottle of Chinaco Reposado.  These are two amazing bottles that pair so nicely together, as revealed in the QuickSips™!   You know these aren't recorded and released in order, right?  Go back in time as the boys discove...

Ever catch a Unicorn?  How about two? Well, this week the boys bring two bottles that are definitely Unicorn-status. Matt brings the Colonel EH Taylor Barrel Proof Straight Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey, and Drew brings Siembra Azul 15 Anniversary Tequila Reposado. The boys had never tasted these two together before hitting record- they could tell it was a perfect match just by the nose! A quick geek o...

This week the boys bring two bottles that were not only made for each other, but literally made *by* each other! Matt brings the Widow Jane 10 Year Bourbon and Drew bings the Tequila Ocho Reposado Barrel Select Widow Jane: a beautiful Ocho aged in Widow Jane 10 year barrels!!! What?!? Join the boys in this journey of deliciousness as they sip two beautiful spirits.  Ride along as they tangent into...

This week the boys bring two bottles that were aged in similar barrels: Beer barrels.  Drew brings the Fortaleza Reposado Winter Blend 2020 and Matt brings the Sagamore Ale Cask Finished Rye.  They both agree the presence of beer adds a lot to their favorite spirits.  And yet again, these are two bottles they won’t be drinking without the other, because as Matt points out, “they are more than the...

In the first episode of 2023, and the first ever with guests, the boys are joined by PKGD Group’s Chief Left Brain, Jeff Ernst, and Chief Right Brain, Shawn Miller. Jeff introduces us to Saint Liberty Bertie’s Bear Gulch Straight Bourbon Whiskey, celebrating the Women Pioneers of whiskey during Prohibition and beyond, and produced using interesting methods. Shawn introduces us to Tequila Primo 186...

Okay, Listeners: pull the car over, sit down, and brace yourselves, because this one breaks all the rules— The boys flip the script and sip a tequila that’s had more time in the barrel than the whiskey.  It's a Holiday Miracle! Drew brings the Grand Mayan Ultra Aged 5 Year Extra Anejo, and Matt brings the Willet Rye 4 Year Cask Strength Small Batch Whiskey.  (Mind blown, right?) Each spirit brings...

Have you ever looked back on a project and said: “What took so long?”  That is this episode. The boys bring two of their favorite bottles—the bottles that all other bottles are judged against.  Matt shares The Colonel E.H. Taylor Small Batch and Drew brings Fortaleza Blanco.  And they both agree: It’s about damn time! Matt tells us all about the colorful character and innovator that was The Colone...

Today, the Boys bring two bottles with plenty of hype:  Buffalo Trace Bourbon is so hyped that you can’t find it anywhere. Patron Silver Tequila is so hyped that you can find it literally everywhere. Matt recalls regretful (ragretful?) fashion choices of the early 90’s as Drew predicts Kanye’s downfall a full two weeks before it happened. The Boys try something new and record this one early mornin...

This week the boys bring two great finds: The Bulleit Bourbon Single Barrel (a Malloy's store pick) and Pasote Anejo from NOM 1579. Matt lets us behind the curtain of a barrel pick and introduces us to an incredibly creepy Uncle. Drew drops a Golden Girls reference that 3 people will get while Matt flexes his 780 verbal score. We review really bad movies that, for some reason, we can't stop watchi...

This week, the boys continue with more finished spirits. Episode 8 features Glenlivet 14 and Tequila Ocho Continental, two great sippers that are aged in Cognac Casks.  Matt brings a surprise bottle to prime the taste buds, and the QuickSip™ reveals that it's hard to top perfection. The Glenlivet is readily available, the Ocho Continental is out there, but you have to hunt around.  Two great bottl...

Sherry, Sherry Baby...  The boys go all-in on Sherry Cask Aging!  Matt brings 3 "Sherry Bomb" Whiskeys: Sexton Single Malt Irish Whiskey, Legent Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, and Glendronach 12 Year Single Malt Scotch, and Drew brings the once-per-four-years release 2021 Patron Anejo Sherry Cask (still available on the shelves, but you have to look around). We play a Joby Holland original son...

This week the boys share some trophies found during their hunting expedition in The 'Burbs.  They had to Castaway 79 minutes of a Big Tom Hanks tangent- basically a Green Mile of movie Geekdom.  This created an Inferno of abrupt audio cuts.  But don't worry, in a future episode these two Ladykillers will be sure to Post a long Toy Story from Splash to Pinocchio with plenty of great Punchline(s). S...

The boys bring a few special bottles: A Wilderness Trail Single Barrel from Matt's trip to Kentucky and limited release Tequila Ocho Puntas.  Recorded just days after James Caan's death, we reference his height, which leads of course to further tangents.  Matt geeks out on Malloy's Store Picks and The Wheaton Whiskey Club and the Quick Sips™ are hot and glorious!

The boys share a few bottles they found while out hunting, and take a deep dive into additives in tequila.  Drew lies about being a Sagittarius and Matt totally abuses the Hype Horn.

The boys sample two random picks from their collection, make vague references to billiard balls, explain single barrel expressions, mention nuance around 15:00, there's a "Hot Dog!" at 18:30 and seemingly endless discussion of Laurence Fishburne. These bottles are available everywhere, so grab one of each, listen along, and make it a Happy Friday!

Episode 2: Beginner Buys: Evan Williams 1783 and Cimarron Blanco and Reposado

Episode 1 is finally here!  The boys share two of their favorites: Wild Turkey Rare Breed Barrel Proof Rye and El Tesoro de Don Felipe Reposado
