A very unrehearsed and casual discussion of my journey with a little brown liquid called Whisk(e)y. No matter how you spell it there are amazing drams out there! Throughout this Podcast I look explore the bottles that I have been fortunate enough to collect over the years, and expand the sensory experience. My sincerest hope is to shed a little light on a particular Whisk(e)y, and maybe provide some needed information that will help you decide on YOUR next great discovery. Cheers!

    Malloy's barrel pick recap and a discussion about our upcoming Wilderness Trail Pick

    So after a 13 week Hiatus, thanks Yellowstone binge watching and Baseball, I am back to give a brief recap of my Barrel picking trip to Kentucky in APRIL!  Then I discuss one of the picks for the WWC and Malloy's, the Wilderness Trail High Rye Bourbon.  So good! Cheers

    Malloy's and Stellum

    Every now and then you get a chance to sit down with some really cool people. The first time was with Charlie Rodman from Signatory and that was such a treat. Today was even more so as I got to sit down with not one but 2 people that have been working tirelessly in the industry for quite some time and this past year I have been fortunate enough to meet them and now I call them friends. Steve Malloy of @malloysfinestwine and Jeff Peterson of @stellumspirits sat down with me today to discuss all things Stellum and my delicious Vega H7 Single Barrel Pick. All I have to say is Stellum has something here ladies and gentlemen, and if you don’t have a bottle of the Rye Black label. You will regret it! Cheers!

  3. Kilchoman's Machir Bay Collaborative Vatting

    Kilchoman's Machir Bay Collaborative Vatting

    I was able to get my hands on a collaborative vatting done by the Whisk(e)y Soaked Souls and I have to say I had my doubts that there would be a noticeable difference from the standard Machir Bay.  I really should know better. It is just enough that it makes the Machir Bay more approachable, dare I say softer?  The additional Sherry just brings the right amount of fruit up into the peat that now it feels balanced.  It literally made my mouth water, and I am not sure I have ever said that about an Islay Whisky before.  A wonderful dram! Cheers!

  4. Starlight Single Barrels

    Starlight Single Barrels

    These two picks from Malloy's finest are a shining example of up and coming Starlight Distillery.  They are going to be doing great things in the future I can tell.  While the Straight Bourbon is good, the Port Finish knocks it out of the park.  Delicious whiskies, on their own, these would also do really well in an Old Fashioned cocktail.   Cheers!

    Kentucky Peerless

    These two expressions from Kentucky Peerless distillery are truly some fine examples of what this craft distillery is capable of.  The Double Oak was hard to find when it hit shelves, and for good reason.  It is delicious bourbon, hitting all the right notes, especially after warming up the palate a bit.  The Distillery exclusive Rye single barrel The Highlander, was also a treat when I bought it at the distillery last fall, a light, floral and highly approachable Rye, this one is an easy sipper!  Cheers!

  6. Kilchoman Impex Cask Evolution Series 3/2016

    Kilchoman Impex Cask Evolution Series 3/2016

    This absolutely delicious PX finished whisky is the stuff dreams are made of.  From the delightful sherried nose to its impeccably balanced palate, the warm finish just wraps this one up perfectly.  Kilchoman has earned its place among the greats on Islay, and they are all great.  I am astonished that my single bottle of Machir Bay has 8 brothers and sisters next to it now.  That didn't take too long.

    A Midwinter Nights Dram Act 9 Scene 2

    I had been looking for one of these for over a Year and happily landed one late this past year and it is something.  A blend of Straight Rye Whiskies finished in French Oak Port Barrels, this one definitely has an influence of Port.  A delicious dram that warms you up on a midwinter nights eve.   Cheers!

    Season 3 : Malloy's Sagamore Single Barrel Pick

    Well well well.  Look who came crawling back!  Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to all of you!  It has been 10 weeks or so since my last and apparently season ending episode and I am sorry for that.  It has been a wild 2 and a half months of sports, Holidays, trips and illnesses, but I'm Baaaaack and excited about 2022.  Excited about the whiskey end of it anyway.  So I was fortunate enough to be a part of selecting this delightful bottle of Sagamore that is anything but a typical rye whiskey.  This one is special and I am excited to talk about it tonight. Just a delicious blend of traditional whiskey notes with some Coca Cola Slushy goodness mixed in! Cheers!
