Jake and Greg will also work hard to pair libations with other food, drink and the occasional, fine cigar. Visit our website, www.thesmokingcask.com for an ever-growing library of reviews and photos (currently under construction) to help you find the best splash for your glass.

Fly Like an Eagle Named Elijah
We are back again! Don't mind the silly name--we're just having some fun with two DELICIOUS bourbons: Eagle Rare 10 Year and the Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel. Gotta say: while the Elijah Craig is cheaper and easier to find in many cases (check state listings for your state), we found the Eagle Rare 10 to be worth the hunt in this case. At the end of the day, these two whiskeys may not be competitive in price or availability, and we know this. Sometimes the whiskey tongue wants what it wants, and our selection is fairly vast!
Shout out to our friends and few listeners. We have a website (always under construction) that you should check out and use to get in touch with us https://thesmokingcask.com. Updates coming soon!
Also, a big phat shout out to Coma-Media for our intro/outro: "Sexy Fashion Beats." You rock! Check him out at Pixabay!

The Glenfiddich Journey, Part 5: Glenfiddich 21 Year, ”Reserva Rum Cask Finish,” Is She Overpriced??
This single malt scotch whiskey is far from the ”everyday drinker” price range for most (including these two yahoos) but is certainly something that had to be tried. That said: you may be surprised by the outcome, and The Smoking Cask guys think they may have already identified a champion in the $200-300 range (check local listings, folks)... Is it the Reserva Rum Cask? Listen to find out!
