The PodCask: a Podcast About Whiskey

Latest Episodes:

A Not So Blind Tasting + Jim Beam Signature Craft Soft Red Wheat May 27, 2018

Show notes

Will kicks this episode off with a bit of intrigue, as it looks like his mail may have been tampered with. Then they do a blind tasting provided by their buddy Vinh (@whiskeynimrod on IG) with Belle Meade Honey finished, Old Fitzgerald 11 year Bottled-in-Bond, and Woodford Reserve Batch Strength. However, it ends up not being so blind, as they figure out that they know the order of the whiskey. Then they go to the 15, and have Jim Beam Signature Craft Soft Red Wheat. It is an 11 year old, 90 proof release from Jim Beam a few years back, as a part of the Signature Craft series. All the whiskey in this line was bottled in 375ml bottles. Enjoy.

Then they go to the 15, and try Kentucky Vintage. Enjoy.

After picking a barrel of Weller Antique earlier in the day, Will, the Greeze, Chris from MADE SOUTH, Joe Bourbon, along with Chris Veal, Phil Sokic and "Toad", are hosted by Dixon Dedman at the famed Beaumont Inn in Harrodsburg, KY for a brown bag taste off.

BINGO + Wild Turkey Longbranch Apr 23, 2018

Show notes

In this episode, Will and the Greeze start out by drinking a high proof rye. Greeze hadn't eaten solid food on this day, and he allegedly ran a 5k during the lunch hour (when he should have been eating solid foods) so the gets Greezy real quick. Then they go over some news of the week. Then they try a blind flight sent to them from their friend Brandon. After the 15, they try Longbranch from Wild Turkey.

Try and keep up. This one is a doozy.

Will and Greeze drink lots of different whiskey this episode, because it's at their disposal since they are back in the studio. First they try the newer iteration of Old Bardstown. It's 90 proof, distilled by Willett, and it's also widely available. Then, Will blinds Greeze with a nice pour that Joe Bourbon gave us. Then, after the 15, they drink Blanton's Straight from the Barrel and give it the Buy, Bar, Pass treatment.
