Dads Drinking Bourbon

Our friends from the podcast Blue Collar Bourbon visit the Dads to have a blind that Zeke has been wanting to do for a while: George T. Stagg vs. Jack Daniel's Barrel Proof. Everyone caps off the evening with a pour of Four Roses Small Batch Select. Cheers! Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

Our friends Seth, Aaron, and Jeremy from the Firewater Review head over to MB Roland with John for our yearly get together and to pick a barrel of bourbon together. We're joined by Paul, Mary Beth, Mike, Liz, and Taylor from MB Roland as we learn more about their distillery. Apologies for the audio on this one y'all, we were recording onsite in their barn. Either way, we think you'll have fun listening. Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

Gregg Snyder and Adam Zinser, frm Chicken Cock Whiskey, joined the Dads in studio to talk all things Chicken Cock and to drink some of their whiskey. Although we enjoyed their pours, getting to hear from Gregg, a Master Distiller, who has worked at places like Brown Forman, Wild Turkey, and Jim Beam in his career was special. This is one of those ones where we like to sit back, sip, and learn from one of the best. Cheers! Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

Now that Wild Turkey's Master's Keep Cornerstone has made its way to the public, we wanted to make sure we got our thoughts out as 16as possible. Joined by our friend Tarak Patel from Elixir Spirits in Spring Hill, TN, we open a bottle that Zeke was able to track down and all three of us give our opinion. There are only 16,000 of these available, so if you think it sounds like it's for you, be on the lookout! Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

While Zeke was away on vacation, John was joined by Jared Thatcher from Boothill Blades for a behind the scenes look at Chattanooga Whiskey with Tim Piersant and Jon Lawrence. We discussed the challenges in opening a distillery, changing the laws in TN so they could distill, and going from sourcing to now releasing their flagship distillate, Chattanooga Whiskey 91 and 111. Hope you enjoy as much as we did! Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

3 time returning guest Ryan Yamada makes a triumphant return to the program to bring the Dads a sneak preview of upcoming releases from Cooper Spirits. We tried the three finalists for what will eventually the newest Hochstadter's Vatted Rye as well as the version that's in the works for the Hochstadter's 20 Year Rye. This is a great inside look into the kind of decisions distilleries need to make on their newest releases. Cheers! Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

After a long day of podcasting and sampling spirits at the Little Arrow Outdoor Resort, everyone involved in putting on the event got to sit down and have an honest yet hilarious look at the formation of the TN Distiller's Guild and the TN Whiskey Trail as well as a whole host of other topics. Basically, we all just got to relax, have a lot of fun, and have a good conversation. We hope you enjoy as much as we did. Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

The crew at Bardstown Bourbon Company hooked the Dads up with a sample pack of their Fusion, Discovery, and Phifer Pavitt releases so naturally we did what we do. Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

It's summertime and time to have some fun. The Dads take a break from the traditional show and try some of the new peanut butter flavored Skrewball Whiskey as well as some of the flavored moonshines from Old Forge Distillery. We think you'll enjoy this one as much as we did! Cheers! Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

The good folks over at Jeptha Creed sent us over a sample of their new Bloody Butcher Bourbon which is a 2 year old four grain bourbon. We always like trying new things, so we gave it a shot for all of you. Cheers and hope you had a great 4th of July! Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

The live sessions from Little Arrow Outdoor Resort in Townsend, TN continue with a look at Old Forge Distillery in Pigeon Forge, TN with Kris Tatum, one of the partners and the President of the Tennessee Distiller's Guild, and Keener Shanton, the Head Distiller. Although this one is live and you may notice that with the sound, it's a fun and laid back look at everything Old Forge has including Bourbon, Rye, Gin, Moonshine, Rock n Rye, etc. Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

Stanton Webster from Post Modern Spirits in Knoxville, TN joined John at Little Arrow Outdoor Resort in Townsend, TN for a candid conversation about Post Modern, their spirits, and their story.

On Father's Day, Four Roses released a 15 year OESV in their gift shop. Our friend Drew was nice enough to send us a sample so we could catch up and see what this one was all about. Cheers! Intro/Outro: Springtide "Fall Asleep Under the Millions of Stars"

The Dads traveled East to Little Arrow Outdoor Resort in Townsend, TN to spend Father's Day with four distilleries and podcast in front of a live audience.
