Whiskey@Work isn’t just another whiskey podcast; it’s your backstage pass to the world of whiskey without the snobbery. Hosts Mark Houston and Rob Henry pour up stories, laughs, and honest takes on bourbon, scotch, rye, tequila, and anything barrel-aged that crosses their glasses. Whether you’re a casual sipper or a seasoned collector, we bring you deep dives into distilleries, whiskey history, celebrity bottles, tasting adventures, and industry mysteries, all with a big side of humor. New episodes drop every Thursday morning. Pull up a glass and join the fun. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  1. Talons Out

    Talons Out

    We've mentioned Eagle Rare on the show plenty, but we'd never sat down and asked the obvious question. Why does this bourbon even exist? Turns out it wasn't some heartfelt heritage project. It was built on purpose, with a target in mind, and the strategy behind it is honestly kind of genius. Then there's what it grew into. A ten year bourbon people actually hunt for, sitting around forty-five bucks, that neither of us can find a single bad word for. Pour a glass and hang out with Rob and Mark. The reason it was made is the best part. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Liquid to Lips

    Allisa Henley and John Lunn talked every single day for twenty years. Two stills, two personalities, one whiskey that fit together the way the two of them did. Then John was gone before he ever got to taste the finished blend. This week we're sitting down with Allisa, master distiller behind Sazerac's first Tennessee whiskey. She didn't take the usual road in, no chemistry degree, a business background, and years of learning the craft with her hands instead of a textbook. We get into what it means to carry something across the line that was supposed to be a two-person job, how that bond ended up baked into the bottle itself, and why she's convinced she can change what people expect when they hear "Tennessee whiskey." There's a name story , a quiet little tribute hiding on the label, and a phrase Allisa really ought to trademark before somebody else does. Pour something and settle in. Hosted on Acast.

    The Blood and The Oath

    Ninety-eight point six. The number's been stamped on every Blood Oath bottle since the line started, and there's a strange little reason why. We poured the Pact Nine and the brand-new Pact Twelve for our first crack at this series, and somewhere between a German doctor with a foot-long thermometer and Houston's backpack full of medical gear, we got into what makes these blends so hard to walk away from.

  4. The Dog Years of Bourbon

    6월 11일

    The Dog Years of Bourbon

    Two New Riff bourbons that are identical down to the mash bill, with one exception: one aged four years, the other eight. So we turned it into a blind taste test. One of us poured, the other guessed, and guess who walked away mad? We also get into why a year in a Kentucky rickhouse counts like dog years, the fifty-two-year-old bottle of Jack we once cracked open, and the one rule New Riff had to break to release the eight year at all.

  5. Two Miles Up

    6월 4일

    Two Miles Up

    We've reached part three of our Colorado run, and this week it's Breckenridge Bourbon, the bottle sitting on every liquor store shelf around here. We get into the founder's story, a radiologist pulling brutal hours who was standing knee-deep in snowmelt one day and walked away convinced he should bet his house, his savings, and a chunk of his kids' college fund on a whiskey hunch. We talk about what happens to a barrel aged nearly two miles up in the Rockies, why the angels take such a big cut at that altitude, and how that shapes what lands in your glass. There's a heavyweight announcement out of Tennessee that dropped the morning we recorded, a t-shirt that almost got thrown out of a church, and a question we kept circling back to: what does this whiskey taste like before anyone blends it?

  6. Bottled at Elevation

    5월 28일

    Bottled at Elevation

    This week we're sipping Tin Cup Fourteen, the Mount Sneffels release, and following a thread that ties straight back to last week's pour. Same Colorado founder, a different bottle, and a story that wanders from a ghost town saloon at ten thousand feet to a Jules Verne novel that somehow ended up on a Colorado license plate. There's a high-rye mash bill aged fourteen years, a tiny splash of single malt hiding inside, and a mountain named after an Icelandic volcano because a surveyor in 1874 was apparently really into science fiction. Pour something interesting. We'll do the climbing for you. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  7. The Firefighter and the Physicist

    5월 21일

    The Firefighter and the Physicist

    Mark heads to Colorado and comes back with a bottle of Stranahan's Distiller's Experimental Series: Cherry Soda, a three-cask finish you won't find on most shelves, with only 1,400 bottles made. The backstory behind Stranahan's involves a volunteer firefighter, a physicist who liked dynamite a little too much, and a barn fire that somehow turned into one of America's best-selling single malts. Rob and Mark pour a glass, dig into the new American single malt category, and try to figure out if cherry cola belongs in whiskey. Also covered: walls of Weller, Denver drivers, and the most interesting word in the episode (it rhymes with hickory). Pour something good and settle in. Hosted on Acast.

  8. The Lucky Sprig

    5월 14일

    The Lucky Sprig

    A Highland warrior in 1544 leans off his horse, plucks a tiny white flower, and tucks it into his bonnet. His clan wins the battle. Centuries later, that same lucky bloom ends up on a bottle in our glasses. This week, Rob and Houston pour White Heather 15, the blended scotch resurrected by Billy Walker (the guy who turned Glenallachie into a legend). Three casks, two countries, one Highland fairy theory we won't spoil here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
