    Why Jack Daniel's Bonded Is Better Than You Expect

    Dave and H taste Jack Daniel's Bonded (released May 2022), compare it to the classic JD No.7, and share tasting notes of dark chocolate, fruit & nut and banana on the nose and palate. They agree this bonded expression drinks nicely neat and highlights the higher proof character. The episode explains the Bottled‑in‑Bond law (1897) and its rules: one distilling season, one distiller, one distillery, a minimum of four years aging in bonded warehousing, and bottling at 100 proof. They discuss historic bonded warehouses and what the designation means for quality and consistency. Dave and H also unpack the Tennessee whiskey distinction — the Lincoln County Process (maple charcoal filtering) — and how it relates to bourbon.

    George Remus Bourbon: Great Story and Great Value

    This episode dives into George Remus Straight Bourbon Whiskey — a widely available bottle that seriously overdelivers for the price. We break down: Why MGP whiskey has become so respected What makes this a standout value bottle And the wild story behind George Remus himself From pharmacist to criminal lawyer to “King of the Bootleggers,” Remus’ story is one of the most fascinating in bourbon history — and possibly even inspired The Great Gatsby.
