  3. Whiskey Sho(r)t – 15 STARS Triple Cask II QuickTaste

    FEB 20

    Whiskey Sho(r)t – 15 STARS Triple Cask II QuickTaste

    Please consider supporting us at https://buymeacoffee.com/whiskeytangent This is a very newly established distillery who started out sourcing highly aged whiskey then blending and finishing them into interesting (and expensive) expressions. And the contents of this particular bottle were blended together, then separated into three different casks, and blended back together again. But will that unique combination of whiskeys and finishes and barrels be special enough to justify its price? Press play to find out!

  6. Bonus Sho(r)t – Old Fitzgerald 7 Year Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon QuickTaste

    Bonus Sho(r)t – Old Fitzgerald 7 Year Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon QuickTaste

    Please consider supporting us at https://buymeacoffee.com/whiskeytangent After chasing but never tasting any version of the nearly impossible-to-find Old Fitzgerald decanter series bonded Bourbon, we'd just about given up ever being able to acquire any. But then Heaven Hill decided to create a new, reasonably priced Old Fitz expression that's basically the same juice, just with a lower age statement. So, of course we jumped at the chance to buy it and try it. But will it exceed our expectations? Or will we never want to drink any of their bottles again?

  7. Whiskey Sho(r)t – Toki Black Japanese Whisky QuickTaste + Smoky Toki Cocktails!

    Whiskey Sho(r)t – Toki Black Japanese Whisky QuickTaste + Smoky Toki Cocktails!

    Please consider supporting us at https://buymeacoffee.com/whiskeytangent We haven’t featured any Japanese whiskies on the podcast in over three years, so when Suntory came out with a smoky version of their classic fruit-and-spice Toki mainstay, we were intrigued to say the least. And we had lots of questions: How different was this from the original? How would it compare? And what cocktails could we make with it? Well, Suntory obliged with recipes and flavor to spare. But would we (along with Gabe) actually like anything at all? Press play and find out!
