Are We Running Out of Oak Barrels for Bourbon? Mar 31, 2023

Show notes

Industry trade groups are warning the bourbon industry that our white oak forests are not sustainable. Is this true? Without enough oak trees to support the bourbon industry, what will this do to bourbon as we know it? As you know, bourbon can only be aged in new charred oak containers (majority of which are barrels). So the bourbon industry depends on the oak forest and without it, bourbon will most certainly change. 🟧 PATREON :: Exclusive content, barrel picks, hangouts, and more - 🟦 BOURBON REAL TALK COMMUNITY - private facebook group - #bourbonrealtalk #bourbonrealtalkcommunity #bourbon #whiskey #bourbonbarrels #bourbonindustry #bourbonnews #bourbonlist #whiskeylist #whiskeyadvice #whiskeyhealth #bourbonhealth #blindtasting #whiskeytasting #bourbontasting #whiskeycommunity #whiskeylife #bourbonlife #bourbontrail #whiskeytube

How Many Alcoholic Drinks Per Week is Safe? Canada Says ZERO Mar 24, 2023

Show notes

In January of this year, there was a report released by a Canadian organization funded by Health Canada in which they state that they recommended zero alcoholic drinks per week. They went on to say that two drinks per week would leave you at a relatively low-risk. With that said, there are some things that don't quite add up with this report and so we are here to expose the truth behind this research. 🟧 PATREON :: Exclusive content, barrel picks, hangouts, and more - 🟦 BOURBON REAL TALK COMMUNITY - private facebook group - #bourbonrealtalk #bourbonrealtalkcommunity #bourbon #whiskey #bourbonlist #whiskeylist #whiskeyadvice #whiskeyhealth #bourbonhealth #blindtasting #whiskeytasting #bourbontasting #whiskeycommunity #whiskeylife #bourbonlife #bourbontrail #whiskeytube

There is a lot of allocated whiskey out there and equally as much hype around certain bottles. Even the thought of bottles that are labeled as "allocated" drive some to FOMO. But, just because a whiskey or bourbon is allocated, is it worth the hunt? Are all allocated whiskeys worth driving all over town, store to store, waiting in lines, paying premiums...are they worth it? We don't think so. Here are our TOP 8 allocated whiskeys/bourbons. 🟧 PATREON :: Exclusive content, barrel picks, hangouts, and more - 🟦 BOURBON REAL TALK COMMUNITY - private facebook group - ⬜️ STILL AUSTIN - Get your bottle of delicious Texas-Made Whiskey - #bourbonrealtalk #bourbonrealtalkcommunity #bourbon #whiskey #allocatedwhiskey #allocatedbourbon #bourbonhunting #whiskeyhunting #whiskeycollection #whiskeytips #whiskeycommunity #whiskeylife #bourbonlife #bourbontrail #whiskeytube

Is Your Whiskey Collection Insured? (Spoiler: It Probably Isn't!) Feb 24, 2023

Show notes

It's horrible to think about and almost brought me to tears looking at this photo of my whiskey wall on fire, but begs the question - is all this whiskey covered in my home insurance policy? If my collection burned down, or an earthquake, or any accidental damage...would my home insurance replace it? And if they would, how much would they pay? Would it be market value or what I paid for the bottles? All of these questions and more are covered in this episode where I sit down with my insurance agent and find answers. 🟧 PATREON :: Exclusive content, barrel picks, hangouts, and more - 🟦 BOURBON REAL TALK COMMUNITY - private facebook group - ⬜️ STILL AUSTIN - Get your bottle of delicious Texas-Made Whiskey - #bourbonrealtalk #bourbonrealtalkcommunity #bourbon #whiskey #whiskeycollection #homeinsurance #whiskeyinsurance #naturaldisaster #housefire #whiskeydamage #whiskeycommunity #whiskeylife #bourbonlife #bourbontrail #whiskeytube
