Can a song from a classic movie and a fine bourbon be the perfect pairing for an unforgettable podcast of nostalgia and laughter? Join us as the Geto Boys' song "Damn it feels great to be gangsta" brings us back the classic movie, "Office Space," reminiscing about the iconic scenes that made us all dream of smashing a malfunctioning printer to bits. As we chuckle over the antics of Michael Bolton and Peter’s million-dollar fantasies, we set the stage for a spirited adventure to Costco, where an unexpected treasure, Larceny Barrel Proof A125, awaits.

Send us a text The worlds of baseball and bourbon collide as Mike and Tony taste the limited-edition Remus Babe Ruth Reserve, a premium offering that blends America's pastime with craft distilling. This special release captures both the spirit of the Great Bambino and MGP's renowned high-rye expertise in a bottle that baseball fans and whiskey enthusiasts alike will appreciate. What happens when one of baseball's greatest legends partners with a respected bourbon producer? The result is a meticulously crafted 111-proof bourbon that blends three different high-rye mash bills from 2016, 2017, and 2018. Each of the 10,624 bottles (one for each of Babe Ruth's career plate appearances) features a QR code revealing what happened during Ruth's corresponding at-bat—a level of attention to detail that elevates this beyond typical celebrity spirits. The tasting reveals characteristic MGP nutty notes complemented by cinnamon, spice, and subtle fruit undertones. Despite initial skepticism about the $150 price point, they are pleasantly surprised by the quality. The conversation expands into broader trends in the bourbon industry, where countless new bottles and celebrity collaborations leave consumers wondering which releases prioritize quality over marketing. Throughout the episode, Mike and Tony delve into the details that make this release special—from the baseball bat-shaped cork to the diamond-themed packaging—while honestly discussing whether the premium price over standard Remus offerings is justified by the collectible nature or the liquid inside. For baseball historians, Yankees fans, or anyone interested in the intersection of American cultural icons and craft spirits, this episode offers valuable insights into a unique bourbon experience. Curious about how celebrity collaborations are changing the whiskey landscape? Want to know if limited editions like this are worth the investment? Listen now and discover whether the Remus Babe Ruth Reserve hits a home run or strikes out.…

Dan Calloway and Pete Marino of Bardstown Bourbon Company join us to reveal the remarkable story behind their Cathedral French Oak Barrel Finish - a whiskey that connects French architectural history with Kentucky distilling expertise. "The cardinal sin we broke on barrel aging is you never really want to double barrel old bourbon because it'd be too dry, too tannic," explains Calloway. Yet this risk produced something extraordinary - a blend of Kentucky bourbons up to 19 years old, finished for 14 months in just six precious barrels made from the same oak chosen to repair one of the world's most iconic cathedrals. The conversation goes deeper than just this special release. We explore Bardstown Bourbon Company's meteoric rise in the whiskey world, their philosophy of transparency and collaboration, and how they balance contract distillation with distinctive brand development. NFL legend Jared Allen even calls in to discuss the bourbon landscape and what makes Bardstown's approach unique. Throughout our discussion, the themes of innovation and quality shine through. "The formula for our success is a combination of incredible people who are deeply passionate about what they do," Marino shares, "and we've got an ownership group and a leadership team that are not afraid to take chances and do crazy things." This mindset has propelled Bardstown from industry newcomer to respected innovator in just a decade. We conclude with a comprehensive tasting of the Cathedral Oak itself, exploring its complex profile of the three classic Kentucky bourbon tasting notes with dark fruits and the perfect balance between wood influence and sweetness. For whiskey lovers seeking something truly special, this rare expression represents bourbon at its most innovative and historically significant. Grab a glass and join us for this fascinating exploration of whiskey craftsmanship where French history meets Kentucky spirit!…

Send us a text ChiTucky Bourbon Brothers take a deep dive into the newest release of Buffalo Trace's legendary Sazerac 18 Rye Whiskey, a cornerstone of their coveted Antique Collection. After years of mixed reviews, this 2024 expression marks a triumphant return to form that has whiskey enthusiasts buzzing with excitement. We explore the fascinating history behind this elusive spirit, from competing origin stories to the transition from steel tank aging to traditional barrel maturation. Despite its modest 90 proof bottling strength, Sazerac 18 delivers remarkable complexity without overwhelming the palate. The nose offers inviting aromas of cherry lozenges, leather, and oak without any harsh alcohol burn, while the taste reveals a perfectly balanced symphony of subtle rye spice, cinnamon, and vanilla that drinks more like a high-quality bourbon than a typical spicy rye. Whether you're a dedicated whiskey collector or simply appreciate the artistry behind America's finest spirits, this Sazerac 18 deserves a place in your tasting journey.

Send us a text Bourbon enthusiasts know that high proof can deliver extraordinary flavor, but the ChiTucky Bourbon Brothers take this concept to the extreme with a mind-blowing 141 proof Binny's barrel pick of Buffalo Trace's Stagg 24B bourbon. This monster whiskey—at a staggering 70.5% alcohol—delivers an unforgettable tasting experience that demands respect and patience. Despite its intimidating proof, this Stagg reveals remarkable complexity for those brave enough to persevere past the initial heat. Cherry cola, leather, creme brulee, and even root beer notes emerge alongside a mouthfeel described as "oily" but never "sticky." What truly distinguishes this bourbon is its extraordinarily long finish—a warming transition gracefully from sweet to peppery and lingers seemingly forever. At $70 retail, this represents exceptional value, but this is absolutely not for bourbon beginners—it requires multiple sips to acclimate the palate before revealing its full glory. For seasoned whiskey lovers seeking the ultimate high-proof experience, this particular Stagg barrel pick delivers a masterclass in how intensity can enhance rather than overwhelm complexity when in the hands of master distillers.…
