    Farm-to-Glass Frey Ranch Quad Malt Bourbon

    This episode we open one of the more unusual bourbons we’ve brought back from America: Frey Ranch Quad Malt Four Grain Bourbon. A distillery-only release from Nevada that takes farm-to-glass whiskey seriously. Every grain is grown on the property. Every grain is malted. Everything happens on the farm. We talk about: • Visiting Frey Ranch in Nevada • The drive through Reno and Fallon • Why this bourbon tastes unlike most Kentucky bourbon • Whether fully malting all four grains changes flavour • Farm-to-glass distilling done properly Tasting notes include: • Maltesers • Malt biscuits • Chocolate • Butter • Grain character And one big regret: Not bringing more home.

    BBQ-Ready! Inside Larrikin's Small Batch Dessert-ey Kentucky Bourbon

    H & Dave enjoy Larrikin's Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey—an approachable 40% ABV, six-year-aged bourbon with a mash bill of 86% corn, 10% rye and 4% malted barley. Tasting notes highlight caramel, vanilla, biscuity sweetness and warm spice (think apple pie, nutmeg/cinnamon), plus the brand’s laid-back Aussie charm and friendly distillery vibe.

    Peerless 10-Year Reveal: A Bourbon Worth the Hype

    Dave n H taste and celebrate the new Peerless 10-year Henry Craver edition, describing its stunning colour, rich mouthfeel and tasting notes like citrus, marmalade, coconut, vanilla and caramel. They discuss the bottle’s limited release, the queue at the distillery, and why this bourbon has a devoted following. The episode also explores Peerless’s craft approach—sweet mash, barrel-proof bottlings and Corky Taylor’s commitment to quality—plus personal anecdotes about sourcing the bottle and why it’s hard to find outside Kentucky.

    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. A great mix of accessible bourbon, great value, and one hell of a story.   00:00 Introduction to George Remus Bourbon 03:11 The Story Behind George Remus 06:02 The Legacy of Prohibition and Bootlegging 09:13 Tasting Notes and Final Thoughts

    Drake’s Whiskey? Virginia Black Explained

    This episode dives into Virginia Black American Whiskey — a bottle backed by Drake that raises more questions than answers. It’s not labelled as bourbon. It’s distilled in Indiana. It’s darker than it should be for its age. So what’s actually going on? We break down: What likely sits behind the liquid (MGP sourcing) Why it doesn’t qualify as bourbon Whether flavouring or finishing is involved And why, despite all that… it’s actually pretty enjoyable This is a great example of judging a bottle too early — and being proven wrong.

    Elijah Craig Straight Rye: A Perfect Gateway Into Rye Whiskey

    This episode dives into Elijah Craig Kentucky Straight Rye — and the surprisingly confusing world of what “straight rye” actually means. We break down the legal definition, taste profile, and why this particular rye is so approachable — especially for bourbon drinkers who aren’t usually fans of rye. Along the way, we explore: What “barely legal rye” means Why rye can feel spicy or aggressive How mash bill changes flavour dramatically And why your taste in whiskey evolves over time If you’ve ever struggled with rye… this is the episode that might change your mind.

    Peerless Double Oaked Bourbon and the Perfect Distillery Experience

    This episode starts with a long-awaited moment. We finally open a Peerless Double Oaked Bourbon, a bottle that’s been sitting on the shelf for a while, signed at the Kentucky Bourbon Festival and calling out to be opened. We talk through what makes Peerless different as a distillery, including their sweet mash process, barrel-proof approach, and double oaked finishing. The result is a rich, dessert-like bourbon that easily stands alongside some of the best double oaked expressions out there. From there, the conversation shifts. We discuss a creator attempting to visit every stop on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail and ask whether it’s actually possible to have a “bad” distillery experience. It leads to a surprisingly hard question: What’s the least impressive distillery experience we’ve had? And even then, the answer isn’t straightforward. This episode is about great bourbon, memorable experiences, and why some distilleries, like Peerless, are worth going back to again and again.
