Dads Drinking Bourbon

The Dads are joined by their friend @gideonboley for tastings of Batch 2 of Doc.52, their store's pick and lottery bottle, Crown Royal Blenders' Mash, and a mystery blind side-by-side to review without knowing the answers. In addition, Zeke fell asleep while we recording. You'd understand if you had kids around this age! Intro/Outro: springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

In this week's episode, Zeke tries to use his brain too much by making both of John's blinds much more complicated than they needed to be. Either way, the Dads compared Cooper's Craft to Michter's Toasted Bourbon in a blind and had a second blind of Old Forester Original Batch, Bottled-in-Bond, and Prohibition Blend. Cheers! intro/outro: springtide "fall asleep under the millions of stars"

We were joined by one of our favorite guests, Heath Clark, from H Clark Distillery along with Chip and Hunter from Craft Brewed to discuss some good things going on at the distillery as well as Craft Brewed being the first store to have a store pick of H Clark Tennessee Bourbon Single Barrel. It's a fun conversation and the continuation of a look into an upstart distillery and some the changes they make over time as they're growing! Cheers! John & Zeke

In this week's episode, the Dads chat about what is the sweet spot in age for MGP bourbon over pours of Blanton's Sliver and Smooth Ambler Old Scout 12 Year. For their Maine event, they put 5 whiskeys from Maine up in a blind tasting. This one has a little something for everyone. Enjoy and cheers! Intro/Outro: springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

The Dads open up some virtual mail and answer questions from the listeners. While they're answering questions, they try out a sample of Balcones that a friend sent them. Then, in true Dads Drinking Bourbon fashion, there is a blind tasting and review of the new limited edition Maker's Mark Seared Bu 1-3 which they put against Maker's Mark Cask Strength and Maker's Mark Private Select. intro/outro: springtide "fall asleep under the millions of stars"

To say this episode is one of our favorites would be an understatement. Join the Dads as we spend a night with our friends Justin, James, and Dan who just so happen to be the driving force behind one of our go-to Nashville stores, Carother's Wine and Spirits. After discussing some of the thoughts behind how they pick barrels, we tried Black Box Whiskey and had a flight of: Old Carter, Kentucky Owl Rye, and Willett Family Estate Rye. Intro/Outro: springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

The Dads are alone for this episode, which is a rare event lately. After talking about some things that have happened recently, they review Matthew McConaughey's first release from his work at Wild Turkey, Longbranch, the only way they know how, by putting it in a blind against Peg Leg Porker 12 year and a dusty Bourbon Hill. Intro/Outro: springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"  

The Dads are joined by Ryan Yamada, Corporate Mixologist and Brand Educator for Cooper Spirits, for a great conversation about his brands and offerings. Slow and Low is enjoyed from a can before moving into the main event for the night, a blind tasting of 5 rye whiskeys including: Lock Stock & Barrel 13, 16, and 18 years, Hochstadter's Vatted Rye and Hochstadter's Family Reserve Rye. Cheers!

When we say open door policy, we mean open door policy. On this episode, the Dads are joined by our new friend Will @chitownbourbonguy and his fiancee, who just happened to be spending a weekend in Nashville, for a blind tasting of Buffalo Trace products under $40. Zeke has previously spoken out against Elmer T. Lee, will his opinion stay true when it gets put to the test in a blind? You'll just have to listen to find out. Intro/Outro: springtide "fall asleep under the millions of stars"

The Dads were joined by Sean Josephs of Pinhook Bourbon for an incredibly candid and interesting interview about his story and finding his way into bourbon as well as his brand. What better way to get ready for the Derby than a show dedicated to a brand that names their releases after horses that actually run?! We think you'll like episode as it turned into a really good conversation with a new friend that feels like an old one. PS - John gives his Derby picks at the end since we are a week away!

The Dads were joined by 4 of our friends: Jesse, Aaron, Glen, and Travis for a blind tasting to remember. Have you ever been interested in Willett? We give the rundown of what it's all about, and then have a blind tasting of six bottles of Willett from the 8XX bottles. These are bottles you can't get in a store, and you'll be pressed to find tasting notes, but we hope you enjoy the conversation between friends over some pours! Intro/Outro: springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

This is the true story of 7 people in a house and who had their night taped to find out what happens when people stop being polite and pick a barrel of WhistlePig Rye Whiskey. The Dads were joined by Tarak from Elixir Spirts, JB and Michael from the Whiskey House Nashville, Chandler from Best Brands, and Doug Ward from Whistlepig to tell us more about the brand, where they're going, and to give us a sneak peek at Crop 2 of FarmStock. Intro/Outro: springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

The Dads are joined by our friend TJ, who can be found working at Elixir Spirits in Spring Hill, TN or also on Instagram @morebeamforme. He also happens to be our resident expert on Jim Beam, so naturally we had to bring him in. Listen as the group runs through two rounds of blinds featuring Jim Beam products, until they eventually crown their individual winners of the night. Intro/Outro: springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

The Dads briefly touch on the new Weller C.Y.P.B and then sample and review four whiskeys: Doc.52 from Doc's Wine and Spirits in Memphis, TN, Uncle Nearest, and two selections from New Holland Spirits in their Beer Barrel Bourbon and Beer Barrel Rye. You're definitely going to hear some interesting tasting notes on this one! Intro/Outro: springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

The Dads are joined by Andy Chapman from Eat Y'all (www.eatyall.com) in an epic blind tasting in which we all brought two bourbons that were a mystery to each other. We drink these blind and rank them, but the conversation flows and meanders, as it does, as three guys sit around a table and talk about whiskey. Intro/Outro: springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

Listen as the Dads challenge themselves to one of their hardest blinds yet as they take on Elijah Craig. They put up a Grenade vs. the old 139 proof barrel proof vs. Batch B517 and Batch C917 from 2017. Can they pick these similar offerings out in a blind, or will it become an opportunity for growth and knowledge. Listen and find out!   Intro/Outro: springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

The Dads honor "Bottled-in-Bond" day by putting Early Times BiB against 1792 BiB. Although we were late to the party (it was a week or two by the time this came out) we hope you still enjoy. Also, in finding new ways to challenge ourselves, we blind ourselves with three 1792 Full Proof Store Picks to see if there are any differences. Cheers! Intro/Outro: springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

The Dads sit down with Al Young, Brand Ambassador and Historian for Four Roses. Although we briefly touch on the history, we go in-depth to answer all the questions you want to know like: "Are there honey warehouses?", "Will Four Roses put out a Rye?", and discuss how he approaches things such as private barrel selections. We also go in depth as to how he selected his amazing 50th Anniversary Limited Edition Small Batch! Cheers! Intro/Outro: springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

The Dads return to what they do best, drinking whiskey, with some whiskey they had lined up waiting to taste. Join us as we dive into Pinhook Rye, Lot 40 Cask Strength, and Taconic Barrel Strength with a special surprise from our friend @scott_in_mn at the end. Cheers! Intro/Outro: springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

Join us for Part 2 of our sit down with Charlie and Andy Nelson where we peek behind the curtain to the operations, their current offerings, and where they're going in the future. We also got to have a couple of fun surprises with a tasting the fan-favorite Black Belle and a special release of "Right on the Honey" which was made only for a honey spirits summit in Nashville. Cheers! Intro/Outro: springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"
