Whiskey Sho(r)t – Bib & Tucker Gold Roast QuickTaste

Although most people probably think whiskey is our favorite beverage, it’s actually coffee, which is why we were intrigued with this new Bourbon infused with coffee beans when we featured it on a news episode a few months ago. But is it too coffee forward? Not enough? Or does sit perfectly at the junction between our two favorite liquids? And what the hell is a Bib & Tucker? Well, you know what to do to find out!

Whiskey Sho(r)t – Eagle Rare 17 Year QuickTaste

Over the years we've been very lucky to taste on air two expressions from the highly sought after (and often highly priced) lineup known as the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. We tasted the 2020 Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Rye and the 2023 William Larue Weller Bourbon. And now we’re getting to taste another, while also comparing it to its lower-proofed (and lower-priced) brand mate. So, will it wow us with its whiskey wonders? Or will it wilt under the pressure of our outsized expectations? Press play to find out!

Bonus Sho(r)t – Baker's High Rye Single Barrel Bourbon QuickTaste

Five years ago, we released Episode #29 to coincide not only with Baker’s Small Batch Bourbon becoming Baker’s Single Barrel Bourbon, but also with Bourbon-Hall-of-Famer Baker Beam's 84th birthday. And now that Baker just turned 89, we figured we’d revisit the brand by highlighting its first line extension, a high-rye expression that was released just a few months ago. (And we also make a cocktail with it.) So, does it live up to the Baker name? Or does it disappoint at its price point? Tune in and find out!

Whiskey Sho(r)t – 2XO Kiawah Blend QuickTaste

Flashback to our last night in Kentucky, when we visited a random tavern and tried some amazing whiskeys.  One of them was this very Bourbon, which turned out to be created by the former owner of not only the tavern but also the hotel attached to it. And that person ended up being the guy who resurrected his great-grandfather’s pre-Prohibition brand too!  So, who was this person?  Which tavern and inn was it?  Which old-timey brand did he create?  And is his new stuff any good?  Tune in and find out!
