About
The essential podcast for the novice, yet curious whiskey enthusiast! We are two blood brothers chit chatting about one our common loves in life, whiskey! Our podcast is unique compared to all others due to the fact that we are real brothers. We both started our whiskey discoveries about seven years ago. We have travelled the world together exploring all things whiskey. We hope to provide you with some great stories, make you laugh a lot, learn some and just enjoy honest conversation about the worlds best brown liquid. We are novices when it comes to whiskey and by no means do we know all there is to know about whiskey, but we love where the journey has taken us so far and hope you will join us on this podcast endeavor. We will be sharing stories along our journeys, updating listeners with up to date news/notes, pitting two whiskeys against each other in the Whiskey Standoff, and testing each others (and yours) whiskey knowledge in Stump the Bro. Searching for Pappy is a segment in which we discuss our recent whiskey purchases, while searching for Pappy Van Winkle at MSRP (don't laugh). What's the Juice segment is our version of blind taste testing. Whiskey in 60 (W60) is a segment where we give you all the information we feel is relevant and important for a specific whiskey bottle. At the end of the 60 second review we give our opinion, on whether you should buy it, shortlist it or avoid it.
