We've had a bottle of Pendleton 20-year Director's Reserve sitting on our desk for a couple of months just waiting for the right opportunity. No better time to crack it open than when sitting down to talk with Tiff Robertson from the Western Legacy Foundation about Back When They Bucked. And again we'll try to answer the question about why American cowboys and cowgirls like Canadian whiskey so much.

We'll scream it from the top of Mt. Rushmore that the whiskey community around our area is incredible. How incredible? How about getting to taste a whiskey that's only produced once a year and only 1,200 bottles are made available? Tomas Gutierrez from Caesar's Spirits brought up Mr. Sam and we're pretty sure we have officially tasted perfection.

One of the most coveted Woodford Reserve bourbons of the year is here. Water fountain whiskey is a thing. An excellent idea to keep bottles off of the secondary market. Learning about the Orphan Barrel Whiskey Distilling Company, and trying what one whiskey site has called the best bourbon to buy right now. And the Kennedy assassination? Yeah, we didn't see that coming either.

What would happen if I let AI write this podcast description? Let's find out...
Welcome to the world's most relatable whiskey podcast, freshly distilled and ripe for the sipping! This one's hosted by Rob and Mark, two bungling spirit enthusiasts whose life choices led them not to the glamor of a Michelin-starred restaurant, but to the down-to-earth world of whiskey appreciation. This dynamic duo takes themselves about as seriously as an ice cube in a ten-year-old single malt (hint: not very).
Join them on a whiskey-fueled journey in 2024 across peat, pots, and propriety, as they learn (alongside you, the listeners), to navigate the rich, amber depths of this complex spirit. Together, they'll stumble through tastings, trip over terminology, and more than occasionally pour themselves a dram—or three—too many.
Whiskey@Work with Rob and Mark. It's robust, it's confusing, it's hilarious, and it's just as likely to leave you with a comforting, warm glow as your first sip of that carefully selected New Year tipple. Here's to raising a glass while also raising your whiskey IQ—just don't expect expert-level intellect around here. It's all about the journey, after all

Go home tonight and open your liquor cabinet. Look behind that bottle of Eagle Rare on your whiskey shelf and find that one whiskey you bought years ago that initially you just thought was "fine". Give it another taste. We did this with two specific bourbons we forgot we had. And realized we may have been wrong about our first impression.

What if your whiskey tasted like Cinnamon Toast Crunch? Thanks to the Windsor Block Bar we were able to track down a bottle of Barrell Bourbon finished in Amburana casks, better known as "Brazilion Oak". Rob said it tastes like Christmas, and Houston wants it for breakfast.

Sometimes a good conversation about bourbon is all you need. Rob and Mark talk with a local whiskey guy you know best on social media as "Shannee Massimoto". We'll dive into his love of spreadsheets and how he'd probably be a millionaire if he hadn't given away all those X-Men comic books!

The Jack Daniel's Twice Barreled Heritage Barrel Rye is here. Plus, we'll talk whiskey that IS worth it's high price tag. But first Rob has to lament the Steeler's slow start all the while crying into their six Super Bowl trophies. Houston is a Vikings fan, he feels no empathy.

Lots of whiskey drinkers have their unicorns, the whiskey that they hunt in order to add to their collection or, hopefully, crack open and share with Rob and I. My unicorn isn't a whiskey specifically, but a country. On this podcast, we got to finally try a whiskey from India thanks to Sheila from Sazerac. Four of them, actually. Time kind of got away from us.

Name a bottle worth chasing that is not on everyone's list, name a bottle that's not worth chasing, and name a bottle that surprised you. This thread popped up in a Facebook group called Dakota Whiskey Territory. The folks that posted were gracious enough to let us make a podcast about it. Taste is subjective, but it's pretty interesting that some of the same bottles popped up in all the categories!

On this episode, we're talking about whiskey's closest cousin, vodka. David McQuiston, the founder of Locals Only Vodka, joins us to talk about their unique product. Locals Only Vodka is made with non-GMO corn and California-grown grapes, and it's filtered using an eco-friendly coconut shell method.
We'll talk to David about why they chose vodka, how the company came up with the name "Locals Only," and we'll also get his advice on how to be a good local. Which for some reason means running a marathon? No matter where you're listening from, join us and live like a local!
Mark went to Montana and found a pretty good four-grain bourbon. We'll also talk space whiskey, boxing feuds (surrounding whiskey), The Company coming to Colorado, and what your Zodiac sign says about the type of Scotch you should be drinking. Very bummed Rob's wasn't Laphroaig.
