In our first video episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Mike and Dolly - founders of The Bar Book!
They've created something special with a brand new app that helps you discover flavor profiles in products that fit you and your preference! The app went live in March 2024, and has tons of steam and TLC behind it.
Mike and Dolly welcomed my wife and I into their home and discussed what the app is all about and their background that led them to creating it!

I had an absolute blast talking to owner and operator, Jeff Harner, about his quaint and unique distillery in Hyattsville, Maryland. Sang•Froid Distilling is one of the smallest yet most impressive operations I've had the pleasure of visiting and I can't thank Jeff enough for having me!

In this episode I traveled to Frederick, Maryland to visit Puerto Rico Distillery and speak with owner and operator Angel Rivera. Originally from Puerto Rico, Agnel prides himself on sharing a slice of his culture with the American spirits market and often hosts events in the area to share a bit of his delicious Pitorro – or Puerto Rican Moonshine. This was my first rum exclusive distillery, and as primarily a whiskey drinker I’m grateful to expand my palate and learn about this beautiful tradition. I can’t thank Angel enough for having me and look forward to seeing them again soon!
