Black & Spirited Podcast Bourbon in Black

The Black & Spirited Crew builds the perfect whiskey flight for a beginner, particularly someone who doesn't drink brown OR someone who just mixes drinks--Crown, or Jack [& Coke].  This episode is also great for the enthusiast who's looking to introduce friends or clients to rabbit hole that is fine whiskey!

The Crew is back again to dive deeper into the art of the barrel finish for whiskeys around the world.  We also lean specifically into whether finished bourbon is still "bourbon" and if you add staves or sacks of honey, is it still the same product.  Join in on the Spirited discussion, and share in some of our favorite finished pours.

Prohibition almost killed the most sought-after whiskey in the world at the time, and it's taken a hundred years to get back solidly on top of the world stage.  The Black & Spirited Crew takes on the #2 malt whiskey in the world, and helps you step up your understanding of why it's so special.   Green beer is just fine for Paddy's Day, but you want to have a really good time?  Grab some Irish whiskey!

They say a fine drink is like a fine man or woman--it's meant to be appreciated--looked at, caressed, and finally tasted…  The Black & Spirited Crew gets a little nasty talking about how to bring the MOST out of your tasting experience--be it beer, wine, spirits or cocktails.  We get hot and heavy in this episode quickly, while educating you on the appropriate glassware for whatever you're toasting with this evening.  So let get it started!

If you put new bourbon into a used wine or rum cask, is it still bourbon?  If you finish a bad whiskey in a honey barrel, can you turn it good?  The Black & Spirited Crew answers these questions and more, and debates the purpose of secondary barreling in the spirits industry--all while sharing some of our favorites!  Join the conversation!

The Black & Spirited Crew takes you to the land of blue Weber agave--the highlands and lowlands of Jalisco, Mexico!  Learn what got Cedric off bourbon for the last year, and why good tequila is getting more and more expensive these days.  You're in for a great journey on this one as we drink some of the hottest spirits from south of the border.  Prepare to be educated and avoid the hype!
