Over the past couple of months Keith has been tweeting links to articles written by Zach Johnston on the website UPROXX where he lists the best bourbons at certain price ranges.
It’s because the beverage we have for you on this episode combines whiskey with one of Andrew’s favorite bands of all time. For this week’s show we will be trying the Blackened Whiskey Rye the Lightning Finished in Madeira and Rum Casks.
During a recent streaming session Andrew discovered that one of the people in chat was also a big fan of gin.
Once a year, thanks to the loyal and generous support we receive from all of our subscribers and followers, we purchase an extra special bottle of something to try for a podcast.
We always enjoy trying new wines and for many years we have talked about wanting to compare different price tiers of the same grape varietal from the same winery.
Throughout the years they have had numerous wine varietals and blends with the word “Reserve” in the title (Petit, Grand, Platinum,) and some that are just Reserve. These have ranged in price from $6.99 (Petit Reserve) up to $14.99 (Platinum Reserve).
For this week’s podcast we are shifting gears as we will be trying a barrel-aged stout.
Our thought was to try a few at different price points and compare them side by side. For one reason or another it was never quite the right time, until now.
Recently on a show we were discussing how it would be a good time to have a stout from Tombstone and as if by magic one appeared at our local bottle shop.
With the onset of September (and in some cases even August) your local beer shop starts to see the addition of pumpkin and Oktoberfest style beers.
