Happy New Year and welcome to 2023! As cliche as it may sound it sure seems like that past year went by very quickly. We hope you had a great holiday season and that the year is off to a good start. For our first show of the New Year we will be doing something that has become a tradition at About Beverages as we will be bringing you our fifth Annual Viewer Appreciation Show. 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. Our budget is more than what we would normally spend on something for ourselves as we use some of the money we receive from our subscribers to help subsidize the purchase. It gives us a chance to get together outside of the tasting room and go shopping! After we make our choice we record the podcast offline and then watch it along with you live during one of our livestream sessions on Twitch. That viewing will be happening tonight and we hope you will join us! For this year’s selection we returned to whiskey, bourbon, to be exact. This year the award of being the beverage chosen for our fifth Annual Viewer Appreciation Show goes to Barrell Bourbon Batch 033. This cask strength bourbon comes in at 116.6 proof and is a marriage of high-rye barrels and high-corn barrels ranging in age from 5 to 9 years old. It is aged in American white oak barrels with the two sets of barrels mingling together for two months with the balance then being adjusted for the most optimal combination. What did we think?
