On this, the 10th episode (already) of Monday Sample Size I am joined by my "other" brother BSO, and we dive in to a very cool sample. We taste a 1996 Broadbent Madeira Colheita and it is amazing. The other big news is that full episodes have been recorded, edited, and slated for release. The first Friday in February will be the first full episode about Anthony Bourdain and Kitchen Confidential. It's been a long time coming, and it is almost here.

On this episode I am joined by Cory, as we taste Spiritless Kentucky 74. This one is unique for a couple of reasons. First, we are tasting a the store where I work instead of at the home studio, because we are also deciding on whether or not we will be bring this product in to the store. Also, it is a non-alcoholic product, a whiskey alternative. I share my thoughts on the world of non alcoholic "spirits", while giving an unfiltered review of the product.

As we get closer and closer to posting full length episodes, we keep the Monday Sample Size theme going. On this episode I taste a very very last minute same provided to me by new friend Leo. It is the Peated Bourbon from Kings County Distillery, and the only thing I found disappointing is that it has taken me so long to try this.

Its another Sample Size Monday, and on this episode I switch things up a bit. After doing a little shopping, where I came across a Bottled in Bond Bourbon from Delaware, I knew I had to try it right away. On this episode I am also joined by my friend, Assistant Master Distiller at Treehouse, Steve, who is in the process of making Rum and Whisky amongst other things for them right now.

It's another Sample Size Monday bonus episode, from the only podcast that has bonus episode before they have full episodes. After surviving the holidays in the retail end of the Spirit World I decided to take a couple days off. This allows me the chance to have a bit more than a sample on this Monday. I taste through 2 samples of "allocated" whiskies. First, the Bomberger Declaration Bourbon, which was a splurge purchase for me. Then I taste EH Taylor Small batch, a gift from a good friend that I haven't tasted in a few years. Full episode will begin dropping soon with a 2 part opening episode on Anthony Bourdain that will set the tone for what I want the podcast to be. Bourdain's life in the restaurant business, as well as his love of food, writing, spirits, movies, music and most of all, the desire to connect with humans, are truly the inspiration behind what I do. So if that sounds like a good start to this podcast journey, click on the follow (or subscribe) button to get updates when new episodes are released.

Usually Sample Size is a Monday thing, but hey it's the holidays, and being in a giving spirit, I'm giving extra episodes. Plus, working retail during the holidays sometimes requires a taste of something good to take the edge off of the day. So I took the opportunity to taste 2 samples. First the Smokewagon Uncut and Unfiltered batch 29, the Jack Daniel's 10year, which was Whiskey Advocates number 4 Whiskey of 2021.

One of the great things about the Spirits world is the friends that we get to make in it. And one of the fun things we do is share samples of interesting or rare bottles that we come across. Mondays are the perfect night for opening one of these samples. If you are only going to have one drink, make it something different, that will make you think, and hopefully stimulate conversation the next time you see that friend. For this episode, we are giving you a couple of Christmas bonuses. First I have my first guest, my good friend Stephen, who is a cocktail historian and the assistant Master Distiller at Treehouse, tastes Boomeragn Cherry Liqueur with me, then I taste the Cappelletti Americano Rosso. Both of these samples were provided by my great friend Peter. This is definitely a great one for bartenders and cocktail enthusiasts.
