A new segment we are debuting in this episode, where we discuss random topics with no prior knowledge of the topic. We call the segment Shallow Thoughts with Gary and Steve. We can dicuss anything from the best power forward in the NBA in the 1980's or which bourbon would you pick for your last dram before you die. Yes, random and shallow, just the way we like it. We hope you enjoy the banter and hopefully we all can learn something. Probably, not. Also, Searching for Pappy is here, with many, many good finds, give a listen!

Season 3, episode 5 is there with a new segment entitled Whiskey Scoreboard, aka, Scoreboard.

We start out the pod with another edition of Searching for Pappy, where we discuss our finds for the week, which include; Penelope Rio, Barrell Bourbon Amburana Cask Finish, amongst other whiskies.

Our Whiskey Scoreboard segment is where one of us, or both or us, gives our overall impresses (review) of a whiskey, which is either new to us or just one we would like to highlight. Our score is out of 5.0 points, with the higher score being the better one. We will keep a running list of all the whiskies reviewed and their score will be put up on our Scoreboard. Keep tuned to our social media accounts for the graphics :)

Giddyup! Enjoy!

What is a tater? Yes, it is a term used in place of potato, but that is not what we are talking about when it comes to whiskey. Give this episode a listen for a full definition and our opinion on the subject.

Searching for Pappy is back with a few pick ups early in 2024.

A new segment entitled, Mail Call, makes its first appearance. In this segment we take questions/comments from our loyal listeners, answering the questions and having thought provoking discussions regarding the comments. Hope you enjoy Mail Call, and please send us your questions or comments, maybe we will pick yours for a future episode.

The Holiday Special podcast is here! Episode 15!

We start off with our weekly whiskey pick ups, a few store picks, including an Old Elk 7yr wheated rye from Whiskey Willys and a Old Soul Straight Bourbon from Sunshine Liquors. Thank you, Wally and George! Steve also picked up a Woodford Reserve Rye, which is highly under rated, a future Whiskey Standoff participant, I think:)

The Whiskey Standoff is very special, because it is our very first blind Standoff. Without knowing the identities of Buffalo Trace, Four Roses Single Barrel and Eh Taylor Small Batch, we give our opinions on each. Stay tuned until the end to see if we agree on which one wins and if we can correctly identify each juice!

Stumping the Bro, takes you back to our family Christmas memories. From favorite gifts to just memories of this special season, we share with you some of the stories we can still recall, yes we are getting old :( Hope everyone enjoys this very special episode! We sure did! Hope you like Christmas Vacation as well, we sure do:)

Lucky 13 is coming at your hard and heavy! We are back after a week off, I was in Trinidad for a week enjoying friends, family and trying to find Pappy. No such luck! In Searching for Pappy I did find Hooten Young 15yr Barrel Proof, amazing stuff! Trinidad only had Woodford and Bulleit, but they love their Johnnie Walker, more on him later in the pod. Makers Mark Wood Finishing Series 2022 edition was also a nice score this week. Steve had his kids do his booze searching, finding a Lincoln Straight Bourbon Cask Strength, for 50 bucks, hard to pass up this bottle!

HUGE! Whiskey Standoff between Macallan 12yr and Johnnie Walker Black Label. Single malt vs blended scotch. With the holidays coming up whisk(e)y is a popular gift option. These are two of the major bottles in the scotch industry with very different flavor profiles. Which do we prefer? Recommend? Tune in to find out! You may be surprised in the results.

And, yes, that is a trumpet that opens up the show, bringing attention to our new look. Searching for Pappy has us listening to Steve's extensive list of whiskey he obtained this week, including A Midwinters Night Dram from High West. Love this juice! Amazing pour for any occasion, especially for those chilling nights. Tune in to listen the rest of Steve's finds, still no Pappy, however!

In the Whiskey Standoff we are off to Ireland, not literally. Bushmills vs Jameson, two entry level Irish whiskies take center stage in this episode. Which will win?

Number 11! Isiah Thomas, the best pound for pound point guard in the history of the NBA, well, at least my favorite play of all time! Episode 11 is here, and in this weeks edition of Searching for Pappy, Hooten and Young 12yr is discussed in all its glory. Amazing 12yr whiskey, and with a cool back story, think Black Hawk Down, do some research!

In the Whiskey Standoff, two high proof bourbons take center stage, as 1792 Full Proof battles it out against Makers Mark 46 Cask Strength. If you like fire you will love one of these pours, but does fire mean the better whiskey? Tune in to find out who we picked as our winner.

A perfect 10! Well, ok, it is just episode ten. In Searching for Pappy this week leads us to a 14yr old Bull Run Whiskey finished in pinot noir caks, yummy! Also, did you know Bob Dylan makes bourbon? Well, Steve purchased Heaven's Door Decade Series and it was amazing! Yes, Bob Dylan owns this whiskey, crazy! Also, Buffalo Trace Antique collection has been released for 2022, good luck finding a bottle for MSRP, if you do send us a bottle to try, please? High West just released a new blended rye finished in wine casks, called High West Prisoner Share bottled at 102 proof, again, good luck trying to find a bottle. This is the first release of this product, not sure if it will be a annual thing.

The Whiskey Stand is a battle of Bottled in Bond bottles from Heaven Hill. Henry Mckenna 10yr vs Heaven Hill BiB 7yr duke it out this week. Both are solid BiB pours but which one will win the Standoff? Do I hear a split decision, give us a listen for the full results.

Houses of Bourbon is the topic in Stump the Bro segment. We know there are many bourbon/whiskey distilleries in the US, but who is making the money? We discuss the owners of the distilleries, there are 10, and the vast majority are NOT headquartered in Kentucky. Surprise, surprise! Check out our social media for a visual break down of the Houses of Bourbon.

Episode 8, Gary is in Michigan for a tailgate football weekend so this episode is taped together. Searching for Pappy takes us to Novi Party Store, Steve's liquor hole, where we pick up several good bottles for tailgating and home use. Still, no pappy:(

Whisky Standoff, not Whiskey, this week as Glenlivet and Glenfiddich 12yr single malt scotches are battling it out. Two of the most popular whiskies in the world, we give our opinion on which bottle you should have in your collection. Almost a unanimous selection this week, surprisingly.

In Stump the Bro we do a shallow dive into everything scotch. General questions regarding what makes scotch so popular around the world, what is it made from and where is it made, are answered.

We also have more sound effects, let us know if they work or if we should kick them to the corner.

Obviously, when searching for Pappy Van Winkle you run across other quality whiskies that must also be sampled. This week, Wally, the store owner from Whiskey Willys sets up Gary with Russells 13yr Barrel Proof and an Elijah Craig Barrel Proof store pick, both amazing bottles!

In episode four we get a little sideways with our Whiskey Standoff segment as the bros are together for the recording in Michigan. A few drams may have been involved! We pit Russells Reserve Single Barrel Rye up against Michters Single Barrel US 1 Straight Rye in the first rye standoff of the pod. Who will win the nose? The palate? Does anyone really care? Well, our wives do, and make an appearance on the pod sharing their thoughts on the two ryes. Discussion gets a little loose but we hope you will find the segment entertaining if not educational.

During the Stump the Bro segment we discuss 'straight' whiskey vs 'whiskey'. What is the deal with the word 'straight' on my whiskey label? What sets straight whiskey apart from regular whiskey? Well, we did some research and present our limited information on the subject in Stump the Bro.

Episode One, we discuss the recent purchase of Barrell Craft Spirits Gray Label Dovetail 15yr. Worth the $250? Good investment? Steve's wife thinks so, yay! Random liquor stories, regarding fellow patrons and owners is more entertainment than education. Is a liquor hole the same thing as a liquor store? Good question.

In the Whiskey Standoff, we pit Bulleit Bourbon vs. Makers Mark Bourbon. Two staple bourbons, which all collectors should have in their collection because you can use for mixing, sipping and starting fires (sarcasm is our first language). But if you had to pick just one, which one would it be? Find out in our Whiskey Standoff segment, what we think.

In our Stump the Bro segment we discuss the topic of bottled in bond and what exactly does it mean for bourbon. Hopefully you will learn a few facts regarding BiB regarding its history, abv requirements, aging minimum and oversite.
