    Bourbon 2025

    As the year comes to a close, it is a time for refection, and i certainly have alot to reflect on from the past year. This week i am reflecting on my Bourbon journey through the year bu tasting a couple "special" bottles as well as a couple "everyday" Bourbons. Im also talking about the cult of Bourbon, and the state of it. Remember, the best Bourbon is the one you like, not the one everyone else says is the best.If you like what I am doing here go to the podcast page and click the follow button and give it a rating.

    Cover Songs and Single Malts

    Imitation is a sincere form of flattery. That, combined with the question of what exactly is a song, and in what form do we recognize it, lead me to this episode. So this week, I am tasting Whiskies from around the world that pay homage to, and reflect the style of Scotch Whisky, while also talking about great cover songs. I had alot of fun with this one.
