    Which Knob Creek is The BEST?

    Which Knob Creek is The BEST?

    We all know that Wes LOVES Knob Creek. And for good reason. There is a lot to love about this brand. Everything from their 9 year to their single barrel offerings are incredible. Jim Beam Distillery is one of only a few that knows how to do higher aged bourbon well. But which bottle reigns supreme? Which bottle would we crown the "King of Knob Creek"? In this episode we rank the Knob Creek 9, 12, 15, and 18 in a blind taste test. The results may surprise you...

    How Many Drinks to FAIL a Breathalyzer?

    How Many Drinks to FAIL a Breathalyzer?

    The other day I was at an event and sipping whiskey. Toward the end of the evening and after a few pours I didn't feel safe to drive home so I called for an Uber. Once home, I got out my breathalyzer to see if I was indeed past the legal limit. Turns out I wasn't. So this got me thinking, how many drinks would I need to have to reach a blood alcohol level of .08? I asked Lindsey if she wanted to get drunk with me for science and she said sure, as long as it was on our 25th wedding anniversary. So, here we are....

    10 MORE Bottles That We Regret Buying

    10 MORE Bottles That We Regret Buying

    Welcome to PART 2! We hate to use the word "regret". We really do. Someone poured their blood, sweat, and tears in crafting the whiskey found in the bottle. Not mention, they've spent a ton of cash. BUT, there are some bottles that didnt quite hit our palates the right way, or the value and price ratio didn't quite add up. Here are 10 of those bottles.
