Once again Sue and Shavonne join us for our year-ending Christmas whiskey tasting tradition. And as usual, things get inappropriate fast. Then even more so after going through a list of the strangest yuletide traditions from around the globe. But if there’s anything we’ve learned over the past 4 years, it’s how to embrace the weird in the world and make it even worse.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!

It's a pretty familiar story by now: Someone discovers an old Pre-Prohibition brand, decides to revive it with some deep-pocketed friends, sources some youthful mediocre whiskey, proofs it under 90, and then jacks up the price to $80. BUT. This J.W. Kelly might be different, especially given the fact that their prices are actually pretty reasonable. So, what other surprises does this new-but-old-but-not-really whiskey brand hold for us? Press play and find out!
