Whiskey Biz Podcask
Whiskey reviews with Devo, Rob and Victor. Our goal is to find the best bottle of Bourbon or Rye Whiskey, along with other enjoyable Whiskeys. We are Whiskey enthusiasts that are learning more about Whiskey by the bottle and we hope you will join us on the journey. From our experience with Whiskey (AKA Whiskey Nights) we always enjoy some good discussion and would not want you to miss out. With that being said, our normal podcasks will consist of 2 parts: 1 part Whiskey and the other part "Whiskey Talk". Listen in if you want to hear about whiskey and our random "Whiskey Talks". Keep it neat, friends!! Follow us on Instagram @WhiskeyBizPodcask, TikTok @WhiskeyBizPodcask or email us at [email protected] if you have any questions, requests, or recommendations.

Wait, does Lychee and Oolong Tea Go with Rye?

Wait, does Lychee and Oolong Tea Go with Rye?

This is an abnormal whiskey with a very unusual taste profile. Whistlepig has done some interesting collaborations which started with Big Papi and using maple bats in the aging process. However, this collaboration with the Alfa Romeo F1 team is quite different. They finished these bottles with Lychee and Oolong tea, but does it work?Whiskey: WhistlePig PiggyBack Legends Series: Alfa Romeo FI Team Stake Barrel Price: $50Proof: 96.77Age: Not DisclosedWhiskey Talk: Apparently there is a Ninja Parade in Modesto California and no one has seen it.

What's up fellow whiskey sippers?!? If you are new to the podcask, welcome. If you have been following us, welcome back. As you may know, we did a little trial run with a new podcast name "Bungholes and Rabbit Holes". However, about 5 months in, we found out that Whiskey Biz Podcask had been featured on a top 50 whiskey podcasts list but Bungholes and Rabbit Holes was not. Due to this, we decided to stop recording under the "Bungholes and Rabbit Holes" name and start back up with Whiskey Biz.This episode starts off in true Whiskey Biz fashion with a Bevmo BOGO $0.05 bourbon, Navigator Bourbon. It is wine barrel aged in Navigator red wine barrels. Definitely a step up from Quarter Horse (also a Bevmo BOGO $0.05) but still some room for improvement.

Smoke Wagon Bottled in Bond Straight Rye

This week we have a very special episode. Not only is it Christmas but we are also reviewing the newest release out of Smoke Wagon, their straight rye whiskey. With a low rye mashbill, 51% rye and 49% corn, it is the lowest rye mashbill that we have tried and the lowest amount of rye that it can have and still be a rye whiskey. I know it is jumping the gun a bit early, but if you can find this, get it and taste it along with us. Following our review, we have another bunghole of the week, actually 2. The bungholes of the week have to do with Elf on the Shelf and Jake Paul. This is an episode you won't want to miss. As always, thank you for listening and "Keep it neat friends".

The specific bottle we found was a store pick from Bevmo and comes in at a nice proof of 113.6 and is one of a hand full of 110+proofs that we have found/reviewed under $40. It is a nice sipper with balanced palate and a great starter for high proof bourbons. Following our review we discuss sports.

Welcome back fellow whiskey sippers!! We have a long overdue episode. Coming out of Jim Beam Distillery is Basil Hayden Bourbon. Since we are Jim Beam fans, this is one that we have to review. Not only that, the Toast bourbon is one that has received mixed reviews. Is it worth the higher price? That is what we are trying to figure out in this episode. Basil Hayden is notoriously an easier sipper, which we cannot deny. Listen in for our full reviews on both bourbons as well as the crazy rabbit holes along the way until we end up talking about our actual topic, when is it acceptable to put up Christmas lights/decorations.

With the spread of Covid, many of us were stuck to our homes and working remote. Our whole pod"cast" worked remote for a good portion or currently still do.

In this episode, Whiskey Biz meets Science. You may have heard this before, whiskey has a specific amount of time that it is good for once opened. Also, some say to let their whiskey breathe before trying, meaning open your bottle and let it meet the air for a little before trying it. But does any of this actually matter? Well, that is what we are trying to figure out. Our thought is that there really isn't much of an impact, but what do you think? Listen in to hear our thoughts on this as we try a freshly cracked bottle, one that was open about 3 months ago and one that was opened about 6 months ago. As much as we love our whiskey talks, it is a bit shorter this episode as our whole episode is pretty much a whiskey talk. As a side note, please forgive Rob's bad joke, it truly is a joke and not how he/we feel.

Kentucky Silk Bourbon

Kentucky Silk Bourbon

We are back with a couple under $30 whiskeys. Found at Bevmo on sale, the bottles came in around $20. An easy sipper with a nose and palate that do not match at all. Listen in for our full review and our whiskey talk where we discuss IMHO and Penny for your thoughts. Both are interesting statements that most people have heard but we have some strong opinions on these statements in this "Whiskey Talk".

Horse Soldier Small Batch Bourbon

Horse Soldier Small Batch Bourbon

This week we have a highly requested whiskey up for review, Horse Soldier Small Batch Bourbon. A nice easy sipper with enough flavor to satisfy any bourbon drinker. The only complaint that was common was it is a bit mellow. All in all it is an enjoyable sipper and one worth a purchase. Listen in for our full review and our world famous "Whiskey Talk".

Peerless Small Batch Bourbon

Peerless Small Batch Bourbon

We have a very special guest this week, our Patron/Producer, Kevin joins us to review Peerless Small Batch Bourbon, a whiskey he asked us to review a few months ago. This whiskey is a barrel proof bourbon that comes with a hefty price tag. A nice sipper that come across with more spice than sweetness. It is surprisingly smooth with a nice warmth going down. Listening in for our full review and to hear what Kevin would pick as his 5 whiskeys if he had $300 to spend.

Copper Still Single Barrel Bourbon

Copper Still Single Barrel Bourbon

What?!? A single barrel bourbon for under $30? We thought the only one was Evan Williams Single Barrel but here we have another. This bourbon has a very unique palate and is very smooth. Not a bourbon for all but definitely a unique one that will throw you for a loop with the flavor profile.

This week we have a lesser known whiskey, Incline Rye from Axe and the Oak Distillery located in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Coming in at 98 proof, it has a unique and enjoyable palate and a nice finish.

Knob Creek 12 Year Bourbon

Knob Creek 12 Year Bourbon

If you have followed us for a while, you probably are not surprised that Knob Creek is back and for good reason, they make good whiskey. So far we have done the 9 year (100pf), Single Barrel Select Bourbon and Rye (115 and 120 proof). Does the 12 year stand up at its price point? With the 9 year at $30 and the 12 year at $65 (as of 2022), is it worth twice the amount? We were surprised by this whiskey and the amount of flavor it has while still coming across with a smooth sip. Listen in for our full review and limited whiskey talk. There is something about Knob Creek that keeps us talking about it for longer than others.

We have a completely new bourbon, Coppercraft Small Batch Bourbon. A nice, easy sipper with good flavor and a fair price point. Coming in at around $45, it is in the medium price range and can be found in a really nice bottle.

E.H. Taylor Single Barrel - 100th Episode Special!!

What's up guys and gals? We finally made it, Episode 100 is here. It has been a long and fund ride and we are excited for the things to come. We appreciate you all and your support. Back to more about the episode, we were lucky enough to have one of our listeners help us track down a bottle of EH Taylor Single Barrel. What's more fitting than a 100 proof whiskey on our 100th episode, right? He also joins us as we review the whiskey, also review Buffalo Trace Kosher Rye Recipe Bourbon, and fall into a lot of rabbit holes along the way. I know, surprise, surprise. All in all, we wanted this to be an episode to remember and it sure was. With all of that being said, this episode can get a bit rowdy, so make sure you do not have your kids or people that can get sensitive about certain things with you while listening.

Michters Single Barrel Rye

Michters Single Barrel Rye

This week we review Michters Single Barrel Rye and Victor is back. He disliked it so much he almost finished the bottle. A rye whiskey that is light on the rye and almost drinks more like a bourbon than a rye but is a smooth sipper that many will enjoy. The low proof or lower rye content could be the contributors here but who knows? Following our review we discuss one of the hottest and most controversial current topics, Andrew Tate. We discuss a little about him but dig into what he has said and our thoughts on the whole situation.

Puncher's Chance Bourbon - Does it hit as hard as it sounds?

Puncher's Chance Bourbon - Does it hit as hard as it sounds?

Puncher's Chance Bourbon is distilled in Kentucky and is a blend of 4, 5 and 6 year bourbons. The first thing you will likely notice is it is in a unique, also pretty cool, bottle. The tricky thing is the bottle (painted black) hides the color of the bourbon. It is lighter in color and as expected, it is a mellow sipper that is on the sweeter side. Listen in for our full thoughts as well as our whiskey talk where we discuss the recent statements by "The Game" (the rapper) toward Eminem as well as his release of a diss track.

Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel feat. Schwike

We have a special episode for you this week. One of our Patrons and avid listener joins us to review Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel Bourbon with us. A nice sipper with a similar palate to their small batch with more flavor and a smoother sip. Aging this secondarily in a heavily toasted barrel gives this bourbon a very unique flavor that can be enjoyed by bourbon drinkers of any level.

Still Austin Barrel Strength Bourbon

Still Austin Barrel Strength Bourbon

With our lack of luck regarding Texas Bourbon, we heard good things about Still Austin and had to give it a try. The price point is nice on this bottle of bourbon especially for the proof, but is it worth it? A nice sipper that does not drink it's proof with a sweeter palate.

Henry McKenna Sour Mash Bourbon

Henry McKenna Sour Mash Bourbon

To start, this is not the 10 year bottled in bond Henry McKenna. This whiskey is the entry level Henry McKenna coming in at 80 proof. It is an easy sipper that sips on the sweeter side. Depending on the price you can find it for, it could be worth a purchase.

Knob Creek Single Barrel Select Rye

Victor is back for this wild episode that goes from inappropriate to serious and back to inappropriate. This is not one you are going to want to miss. There must be something in the water that Knob Creek uses because last week was a bit wild as well. Knob Creek Single Barrel Select Rye has a low rye content which makes it a bit sweeter than some but still maintains a nice spice. Overall a nice sipper with plenty of heat. After our review, we wanted to talk about what it means to be a man. Can you define how a man should be or can they act and be however they want? Listen in for our thoughts on this.

Knob Creek Single Barrel Select Bourbon

Let me start out by saying this was a really fun episode to record. It could be due to the whiskey being one of Devo's favorites or maybe it was just a good night. Either way, please be aware that to some, we may discuss sensitive or inappropriate topics, so if you are easily offended, you may want to sit this week out. With all that said, this bourbon is quite hot but has plenty of flavor, primarily spice. Following our review we start on the topic of Lake Experiences and as you may have already guessed, it spirals out of control from there.

Trader Joe's has Boubon?

Trader Joe's has Boubon?

This is one interesting episode. Did you know that Trader Joe's has more than the single barrel that went viral? No? We didn't either, until we came across it when searching for the single barrel. You may say, that went viral months ago and you are completely right. At the low price points of these whiskeys, we were slightly concerned in trying the Kentucky Bourbon Straight Whiskey (that's how they label it), so not idea what the age statement is, and the High Rye Bourbon. You know we love high rye bourbons but how will these too stand up to others we have tasted? Is it another Giant Texas situation?
