Dads Drinking Bourbon

Summary: Two dads from Nashville that trade their kids' bottles for whiskey bottles after bedtime. They focus on blind tastings, side-by-sides, as well as interviews with the people behind the whiskey to determine the true review without bias on brand names and hype with a goal to make you #rethinkhowyoudrink.

 Half Ounce Pour: Blue Note Bourbon | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 14:30

The folks from Big River Distillery in Memphis, Tennessee sent us Batch 2 of their Blue Note Bourbon so naturally the Dads had to drink it and review it. Thanks for sending it our way! Hope you all enjoy. Cheers! Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

 Field Trip to Elixir Spirits & Old Forester 1910 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 20:35

The Dads took a field trip down to Elixir Spirits to try Old Forester 1910 with our friends Tarak, Greg, and Patrick. Although we recorded in the car on the way down, we just didn't think any of it was any good with us just talking. What you're left with is a fun episode with friends where we review Old Forester 1910 against Early Times Bottled-in-Bond. Hope you enjoy! Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

 Half Ounce Pour: Virgil Kaine Roundhouse Double Barrel | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 23:12

The good folks at Virgil Kaine were nice enough to send us a bottle of their limited edition Roundhouse Double Barrel, so we figured we had to crack it open and give it at try. This is coming in a 49.3% ABV and 98.6 proof with only 3,200 bottles out there and an MSRP of $50. Hope you all enjoy! Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

 Peerless Rye Revisited | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 40:21

It's hard to believe that it's already been a year since we switched our format to primarily podcasts. Well, it's actually been longer than that but in true Dads style, we're late to our own celebration. This week, we revisit the first bottle we ever reviewed, Peerless Rye, by putting picks from Lincoln Road, Straight Up, and Jack Rose against the regular small batch. Cheers! Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

 Half Ounce Pour: Blaum Bros Knotter Rye | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 13:50

Our friend Ryan sent us a sample of Blaum Bros Knotter Rye months ago. We feel really bad, but with life and new babies, we were just able to get to it now. As always, we strive to give a fair review, giving our tasting notes so that you have the opportunity to decide for yourselves if you will like it. Cheers! Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

 Heaven Hill 27 Year and H Clark Distillery Bottled-in-Bond | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 48:51

The Dads are back from a short Thanksgiving break with a jam packed episode with two straight up reviews of Heaven Hill 27 year and a sneak peek of H Clark Distillery's Bottled-in-Bond which is long awaited and will be released at the distillery on December 8th. At the end, we also discuss Old Ezra Barrel Strength. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and cheers! Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

 Half Ounce Pour: Garrison Brothers Balmorhea | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 07:39

We had set out to record an episode reviewing Heaven Hill 27 this week, but got a little side tracked. So you'll have to wait until next week to hear it. But until then, here's a half ounce pour review we did of Garrison Brother's Balmorhea that was sent to us from a listener (thank you!). Hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving! Cheers. Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

 Bruce Russell: A Rare Breed | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 57:29

The dads are joined by the one and only Bruce Russell for a great conversation. We answer all your burning questions around Wild Turkey and learn more about Bruce, what he likes, and what he'd like to see in the future. Plus, we have a call to the bullpen and Justin from Barrels and Brews fills in when dad duty calls for Zeke. Trust us, you won't want to miss this one. Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

 1/2 oz Pour: Clyde May's Rye | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 10:43

We're lucky to be sent some whiskey and from time to time, we just can't think of what to put it up against for a full episode. So, we've decided to get these to you in what we're calling 1/2 oz pour episodes. These are just quick 10-15 min episodes where we do a straight review of something that may have been sent to us from a distillery or directly from one of you. Today we sip on Clyde May's Rye. Cheers! Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

 The Cost of "Perfection" | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 35:01

In this week's episode, the dads discuss an absence of more talked about OWA picks in 2018. Has the quest to craft a perfect bourbon come at the detriment of a trusted "antique" bourbon? We discuss and then have a blind tasting of some of the best OWAs so far in 2018 from Jack's, Tippins Market, Legacy, Lincoln Road, and Cap n' Cork to determine our favorite. Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

 Has MGP Jumped the Shark? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 40:01

The anticipation has been building for months. Fresh off of time off for the birth of his new daughter, Zeke is back and ready to tackle one of the biggest issues in bourbon today: Has MGP jumped the shark? We’ve seen great whiskey from Lawrenceburg, IN, but has the market become too saturated with MGP products? Are they worth the prices people are paying? The dads tackle all of this and more in our latest episode. Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

 Four Roses 130th Anniversary SmBLE | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 27:03

In our last episode before Zeke makes his triumphant return, we offer something up to you that previously was only a release on Facebook video, our review of Four Roses 130th Anniversary Limited Edition Small Batch. Although the audio may not be what you are accustomed to as it is a video we put into podcast, we think you'll still enjoy it! Cheers! Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

 Blinded by Ohio | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 24:22

Before Zeke took time off for the birth of his daughter, we recorded some episodes so you wouldn't miss him featuring some blinds sent to us by you, the listeners. This particular blind was sent to us by our friend Eric Black featuring whiskey he found in his state of Ohio. What does that mean exactly? Well, you'll have to listen for the surprise twist! Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

 Nashville Whiskey Festival Aftershow with Barrels and Brews | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 39:23

John is joined by his friends Justin and James from Barrels and Brews as well as their friend Daniel as they recap their night at the Nashville Whiskey Festival. They talk about everything they had including 2018 Birthday Bourbon, Wild Turkey Revival, Four Roses 130th, a limited edition from Barrell Bourbon, and some special local surprises from places like Pennington Distilling Co and Old Dominick. We also sip on a Russell's Reserve picked by Jamie Farris and Dixon Dedmon and Rarebreed.

 Listener Blind Number 1 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 18:02

We know you all miss Zeke and his mustache, so we planned ahead. Before his daughter was born, we caught up on some blind samples that you the listeners had sent us, this is the first round of it. We sampled three bourbons and the results were locked in an envelope. It's a fun show and one we hope to do a lot more of in the future. Thank you to Sam Clark for his service not only to our country, but to Dads Drinking Bourbon! Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"
