Chris:

Welcome back to the Whiskey and Wisdom Podcast.

2

:

We are here today trying our

quarterly blind barrels which is

3

:

gonna be fun each time we do this.

4

:

If you guys don't know, blind

Barrels sends a quarterly setup.

5

:

They give us four different

whiskeys, bourbons to try.

6

:

Each has like a concept.

7

:

This, this one is the release number 15.

8

:

This concept is inception.

9

:

The joke if you get the

box you can kinda read it.

10

:

It was kind of funny that they

weren't expecting to do back to

11

:

back Christopher Nolan movies.

12

:

Mm-hmm.

13

:

For those who didn't know, prestige was a

Christopher Nolan movie, very underrated.

14

:

Tyler: And on the episode where

we talked to Bri OK Komoto.

15

:

Chris: Mm-hmm.

16

:

Tyler: I also mentioned that

my favorite director is Chris

17

:

Chris: Nolan.

18

:

Tyler: Chris Noland.

19

:

Chris: Yeah.

20

:

Tyler: So it worked out well.

21

:

Chris: So it's interesting 'cause

we always talk tasting notes.

22

:

Pretty much when I read you the

notes, your brain says, oh, I

23

:

do taste that, or I smell that.

24

:

Right.

25

:

So that's kind of the great thing

with the blind barrels is I don't

26

:

know what's in any of these.

27

:

And then we kind of smell it and taste

it and kind of figure out together.

28

:

Like do you actually

taste that or smell that?

29

:

Matt: I guarantee there's whiskey in them.

30

:

Chris: Yes.

31

:

Matt: Oh yeah.

32

:

Chris: There are some sort of alcohol.

33

:

And I will say the A BV is

definitely gonna be over 80%.

34

:

Matt: Oh really?

35

:

Chris: I mean, the last, the last batch

we had, everything was like 90 plus.

36

:

Matt: Yeah.

37

:

Yeah.

38

:

Chris: We had one, what was it, 120?

39

:

I would hope.

40

:

Hope it's over

41

:

Matt: 80.

42

:

I mean, it was like,

43

:

Chris: yeah, I know.

44

:

It's

45

:

Tyler: not really

46

:

Matt: what,

47

:

Tyler: it's a

48

:

Matt: juice

49

:

Tyler: box, right?

50

:

Yeah.

51

:

Chris: So yeah, so for those

who are watching the video and

52

:

don't know that Third Voice is

one of our favorites, Matt Ray.

53

:

Tyler: And as you know, if you've

watched the last couple of our blind

54

:

barrels, we like to bring in someone.

55

:

That we know will appreciate having a

variety of whiskeys and also someone

56

:

that has helped us expand our own pals.

57

:

And being the owner of Ibis and the Star

starlink, you are one of those people.

58

:

So we wanted to make sure you came on

here and got to enjoy this experience

59

:

with us and to get your insights on some

of these micro dis distilleries as well.

60

:

Chris: Sure.

61

:

I appreciate you inviting me.

62

:

Tyler: Absolutely.

63

:

Chris: So as I'm pouring our tasting of

number A or I'm gonna let Tyler do it

64

:

'cause I don't know why he is shorter.

65

:

Wow.

66

:

Little bit easier.

67

:

Matt: That's the criteria.

68

:

Huh?

69

:

Chris: That's, well, I was laughing

earlier 'cause I looked and I'm like, we

70

:

go from like one of our shortest guests

to one of our tallest guests back to back.

71

:

We're

72

:

Matt: sitting down though,

so it's like, it's no one.

73

:

Chris: Well, you can tell because

Tyler's feet don't touch the ground

74

:

side just to hide it.

75

:

But what have you been up to?

76

:

I know you're traveling the globe.

77

:

I'm shooting all the photos.

78

:

Matt: Yeah.

79

:

You just told me what I'm up to.

80

:

That's it.

81

:

No, that's it.

82

:

Just shooting a whole lot right now and

83

:

Chris: Okay.

84

:

Matt: Staying pretty busy with that and

just kind of coming into the new season

85

:

with the bars Right now, the fall is

a fall is a good bourbon season and

86

:

Chris: yes, one of my favorites,

87

:

Matt: we find an excuse to call

every season a sipping season for

88

:

some reason, but, you know, fall

just kind of is known as that.

89

:

So

90

:

Chris: yeah, I mean that's, that's

part of the reason why I started

91

:

like giving seasonal tasting notes

like this feels like a summer,

92

:

a spring or a winter whiskey.

93

:

Yeah.

94

:

Just because people will look

and be like, oh, it's summer,

95

:

I shouldn't drink whiskey.

96

:

And I'm like, oh, there's an occasion.

97

:

Matt: Yeah.

98

:

Chris: You might not be, you

should probably shouldn't

99

:

drink something that's like.

100

:

A hundred percent rye.

101

:

Matt: I mean, or if you want to do it.

102

:

I mean, there's no rules, right?

103

:

It's like someone tell me I can't

eat ice cream in the winter.

104

:

I was like, I bet I can.

105

:

Chris: I a hundred percent will be doing

106

:

Matt: that.

107

:

Put in front of Boombalattis and I

promise you, I won't care what season.

108

:

it is

109

:

Chris: I mean, we recorded our

boom tis episode in December.

110

:

Matt: Yeah.

111

:

Chris: And I was like, should we

be eating this cold ice cream?

112

:

No.

113

:

To some people, but yes.

114

:

To us.

115

:

Tyler: Yes.

116

:

Exactly.

117

:

Chris: Eggnog was so delicious.

118

:

Tyler: It was.

119

:

So let's let's actually play the Blind

Barrels game when we do it this time.

120

:

Okay.

121

:

And we'll take, so the, what we're

looking for on this anyway is the age

122

:

statement, the proof and the mash bill.

123

:

So in Mash bill, making it easy.

124

:

Is what it go, is it a bourbon,

is it a rye, is it millet?

125

:

And then this fourth one is going

to be a Kansas City style, which

126

:

is a whiskey and sherry blend.

127

:

Chris: So all of them are, or is it just,

128

:

Tyler: so I think it's

be one of those four.

129

:

Chris: Oh.

130

:

Tyler: So this makes

it a little bit easier.

131

:

And then we'll take the average of

our age statement and the average of

132

:

our proof and that will be our answer.

133

:

Chris: Interesting.

134

:

So don't

135

:

Tyler: screw it up, Chris.

136

:

Chris: I'm totally, so we are

using, I mean, semi classic Glen

137

:

cns, is that how you say it?

138

:

Matt: Yeah.

139

:

Chris: Just to kind of smell

it a little bit better.

140

:

Tyler's like, I can't tell a difference,

141

:

but with a g Glen Caren, it's nice because

there's a slightly smaller opening, so

142

:

it can kind of force the, the fragrance

into your nose a little bit better versus

143

:

doing like a classic like rocks glass

that we were using for other stuff.

144

:

Matt: Yeah.

145

:

Chris: Where that fragrance kind of

goes out and away from everything.

146

:

So just try it out.

147

:

Matt: That's a rye.

148

:

Tyler: Yeah, I definitely

got the rye completely.

149

:

Hmm.

150

:

Matt: She's spicy.

151

:

Tyler: Yeah.

152

:

Matt: Little Christmasy.

153

:

Chris: I was gonna say that.

154

:

I'm like, for some reason my brain

was thinking like missile toe, like

155

:

that's what popped into my head,

like visually when I took this sip.

156

:

Matt: Do you eat a lot of missile toe?

157

:

Is that like a one?

158

:

Chris: No thing

159

:

Matt: that, you know,

160

:

Chris: it's like the

song smell the color nine

161

:

Matt: Mm.

162

:

Chris: Like certain things remind

me of things even though they don't.

163

:

Matt: Right.

164

:

Right.

165

:

Chris: That's if you eat

166

:

Tyler: R are always hard for

the proof when want, 'cause

167

:

it's already spicy from the rye.

168

:

Right.

169

:

So I don't know if I am making the

proof too high because of the spiciness.

170

:

Matt: It's also the first one we're

tasting, which is always a little

171

:

Tyler: That's true.

172

:

Yeah.

173

:

Chris: The first one you're tasting.

174

:

Matt: Okay.

175

:

Tyler: I say we've been drinking

176

:

Matt: all day.

177

:

I didn't get invited to the free party.

178

:

That's cool.

179

:

That's cool.

180

:

Cool, cool.

181

:

Chris: Guys.

182

:

It's been a very, like our

palate has been eclectic today.

183

:

We had scotch.

184

:

Matt: Mm-hmm.

185

:

Chris: We had some weller, which

I'm assuming is bourbon, right?

186

:

Matt: Yes.

187

:

Chris: Yeah.

188

:

Yeah.

189

:

And then.

190

:

Penelope

191

:

Tyler: Rio specifically.

192

:

Matt: Did you guys start

early this morning?

193

:

Chris: No, we started at noon.

194

:

Should we have started earlier?

195

:

Did

196

:

Matt: y'all call it

work y calling it work?

197

:

Chris: Yeah.

198

:

Yeah.

199

:

I tried to get him to write it off and he

was like, no, Chris, you cannot do that.

200

:

Tyler: We don't make any money.

201

:

You can't write off something

you don't make money on.

202

:

No, you can for two years.

203

:

We're past that, so

204

:

Matt: yeah, true.

205

:

Tyler: Now it's a hobby.

206

:

Matt: It's very aply.

207

:

A little bit in the nose,

208

:

Tyler: so I'm gonna say it's aw rye.

209

:

I'm gonna guess one 10 for the proof.

210

:

Do you have a,

211

:

Chris: I mean, one 10.

212

:

Matt: I'm gonna go age first

and say maybe four years.

213

:

Tyler: I was thinking

probably around three.

214

:

So

215

:

Matt: being generous with four,

216

:

Chris: I was like, to me it smells

217

:

Matt: like a three

218

:

Chris: year, which is weird to

say that it smells a certain.

219

:

Matt: Smells

220

:

Chris: an H.

221

:

Matt: It is definitely a three year,

10 month, and seven days for sure.

222

:

Like, no doubt.

223

:

Chris: Just so you know, I've met my match

with the guesstimation of randomness here.

224

:

Tyler: All right.

225

:

Name your proof.

226

:

Oh,

227

:

Chris: oh 1, 0 5

228

:

Matt: I I would say, I mean, one of five.

229

:

One of

230

:

Tyler: five.

231

:

Chris: See, but it's funny, I always

give randoms information like numbers

232

:

and people like, how did you get that?

233

:

I don't know.

234

:

I'm just making up stuff.

235

:

Matt: Yeah.

236

:

Chris: Do I actually know

my whiskey that well?

237

:

No,

238

:

Matt: I think you did.

239

:

You

240

:

Chris: saw yourself short, Chris.

241

:

Tyler: Alright.

242

:

Chris: I was like a hickory smell to it.

243

:

Tyler: Alright, let's see what we got.

244

:

Matt: Did you guess

your age or your proof?

245

:

Chris: Yeah, I said, I said three years.

246

:

1 0 5.

247

:

Matt: Oh, you said 1 0 5?

248

:

Chris: Yeah.

249

:

Matt: Oh, we can't both say 1 0

250

:

Chris: 5.

251

:

You can both say 1 0 5.

252

:

And then he's gonna be like, it's 1 28.

253

:

And we're like, no.

254

:

Tyler: Okay, well here we go.

255

:

Learn something new every day.

256

:

This is the threat.

257

:

Oh, I don't, oh, are you at least 21?

258

:

Yes.

259

:

Let me, let me see what it is.

260

:

Alright.

261

:

So

262

:

Matt: that's good for audio though, out

263

:

Tyler: there.

264

:

Yeah.

265

:

Luckily these mics are not picking it up.

266

:

Chris: Oh, okay.

267

:

Yeah.

268

:

I mean, you were at our original studio.

269

:

I was, we were there when they were

buffing the floor and recorded us shaking

270

:

Tyler: the studio.

271

:

Yes.

272

:

And we you still couldn't hear it.

273

:

Matt: Wow.

274

:

Tyler: Yeah.

275

:

Matt: So plugging the brand at

this point, what are we Sure.

276

:

Chris: Road?

277

:

This is

278

:

Matt: road.

279

:

Chris: Yeah.

280

:

We're, I'm just saying we're all road.

281

:

If you wanna sponsor us, yeah.

282

:

We'll take from Sure.

283

:

Matt: So there's currently

a tornado right outside and

284

:

Chris: you can't see it right now.

285

:

I'm like, if a bar wants to sponsor me.

286

:

Tyler: So this is Thresh

and Winow, bottled and Bond.

287

:

It's a millet whiskey, which I don't

even know what a millet whiskey is.

288

:

Evidently, to me it tastes

very similar to Orie.

289

:

The distillery is Koval

Distillery in Chicago, Illinois.

290

:

Hmm.

291

:

So ob it's bottle and bond, so

it's obviously a hundred proof.

292

:

Matt: Yeah.

293

:

Okay.

294

:

Tyler: Age statement is

actually five years old.

295

:

Matt: Wow.

296

:

That really struck out.

297

:

Tyler: Yeah.

298

:

Ash bill is 100% organic millet.

299

:

I still don't know what that is.

300

:

Matt: It's gotta be

close to R because it's,

301

:

Tyler: it has be spice.

302

:

Yeah.

303

:

Matt: Notable.

304

:

Chris: We'll, we'll tag

team the internet today

305

:

Tyler: and Chris likes to know the color

of everything because you play that game.

306

:

Mm-hmm.

307

:

This is the color and

appearance of New Penny.

308

:

Chris: A new penny.

309

:

Tyler: Yeah.

310

:

Chris: Penny.

311

:

So Millet is an organic

312

:

Tyler: Oh.

313

:

As a fun fact.

314

:

Millet is one of the most popular

grains worldwide, and it's beloved

315

:

by farmers for its ability to

replenish the nutrients in the soil.

316

:

And we, it's grown plus

it's drought resistant.

317

:

Matt: I mean, I know what mill it is.

318

:

I just didn't know that.

319

:

I didn't, it was like

a hundred percent like

320

:

Chris: Yeah, you can use it.

321

:

Well, I guess because it is

a grain you can use it for.

322

:

Matt: It's just not a normal

323

:

Chris: no

324

:

Matt: whiskey grain that I know of.

325

:

The

326

:

Tyler: pallet starts off with

sweet grain and vintage Cola.

327

:

Chris: Cola.

328

:

Tyler: Yeah.

329

:

Thyme and continues

with raisin bread, nuts.

330

:

Vanilla marshmallow and

chamomile tea with honey.

331

:

Matt: Cool.

332

:

So none of the things we mentioned,

333

:

Tyler: I was gonna say.

334

:

Yeah.

335

:

So completely wrong

336

:

Chris: on

337

:

Tyler: this.

338

:

Chris: I could, no, I'm

not even gonna bullshit.

339

:

Matt: I'm even try now.

340

:

It's too late.

341

:

I was gonna say, you can't

342

:

Tyler: say that.

343

:

I just read it to you now.

344

:

It's not fair.

345

:

Matt: Yeah, I got chamomile tea too.

346

:

I just didn't say anything.

347

:

Tyler: I was thinking that just

didn't wanna sound too smart.

348

:

Chris: You know,

349

:

Matt: I didn't wanna

make you guys feel bad.

350

:

Chris: No.

351

:

Well, like we had Penelope Rio and it

was like, tastes like cinnamon roll.

352

:

Matt: Mm-hmm.

353

:

And

354

:

Chris: I'm like, and that I got

355

:

Tyler: right off the bat.

356

:

Chris: It tasted like a cinnamon

roll, which then allows me to ask

357

:

you, so in the concept of family

within breaded products, do you think

358

:

that cinnamon rolls and honey buns,

359

:

Matt: breaded products,

360

:

Chris: see cinnamon rolls and

honey buns, do you think they

361

:

have the same dad, different moms?

362

:

I mean, you work, one of your main

business partners runs a kitchen, so

363

:

I figured you'd be so I should do it

364

:

Matt: because

365

:

Chris: you should have

366

:

Tyler: buy

367

:

Chris: awesome medicine.

368

:

Can I phone a friend?

369

:

Tyler: And for everyone who may be

watching this one and not like three weeks

370

:

ago Chris did actually ask this question.

371

:

Stone cold sober.

372

:

And not just like five drinks in.

373

:

So this is just Chris all the time.

374

:

Matt: Same dad.

375

:

Different moms you said?

376

:

Chris: Yes.

377

:

Huh?

378

:

Matt: I mean, sure.

379

:

I'll just say, yeah, just for.

380

:

Chris: Wow.

381

:

Well, I, my brain, someone had asked that

online, I was like, okay, I can see this.

382

:

Because they're both rolls.

383

:

Matt: Mm-hmm.

384

:

Chris: And they're both sweet,

but like they have a different,

385

:

like, I really don't know what

the base of a honey bun is.

386

:

Bread.

387

:

I'm sure.

388

:

But the question is what kind of bread?

389

:

Tyler: I don't know.

390

:

Matt: Millet

391

:

Chris: I should ask Gabby.

392

:

I'm like, Hey Abby, can you make up honey?

393

:

Matt: Now this

394

:

Chris: honey,

395

:

Tyler: this one smells more bourbon

396

:

Matt: B bourbon to me.

397

:

Yeah.

398

:

Sweet.

399

:

Yeah, it's clear it,

400

:

I watch.

401

:

This'll be rye.

402

:

I'm sure.

403

:

Tyler: I'm, yeah.

404

:

That's how it smells.

405

:

Anyway, I could change

my mind after I taste

406

:

Matt: it.

407

:

They're gonna be, they're gonna

be, this is rye and it's unsweet.

408

:

We're dry, chill,

409

:

Chris: filter.

410

:

Matt: The opposite of everything we say

411

:

Tyler: from, I think that

last one was from South

412

:

Chris: Carolina.

413

:

Tyler: This one.

414

:

That last one was probably the most off

we'd ever been on any of these blinds.

415

:

Matt: Mm.

416

:

Chris: I mean, we were close on proof.

417

:

We're close

418

:

Tyler: on proof,

419

:

Matt: but you and I were Chris on.

420

:

I'll say, I'll one 10 over here.

421

:

Tyler: I was 10% off

422

:

Matt: rookie.

423

:

Chris: Gosh.

424

:

For those who don't know, the last

episode we had Matt on, he brought

425

:

us a bottle of Bourbon Barrel.

426

:

Bourbon.

427

:

Matt: Yeah.

428

:

Chris: That was probably one

of the spiciest pieces we

429

:

have had on the podcast piece.

430

:

I mean, what was that, 130 proof?

431

:

Matt: Yeah.

432

:

It would've been up there.

433

:

Chris: Sure.

434

:

Do you know I'm, I'm just

filling the blank space, but.

435

:

When you picked that, did you go

just so like, oh this, did you try

436

:

it beforehand or you just saw it

and you were like, let me try this?

437

:

Matt: I don't try much beforehand.

438

:

I just grab it and hope for the best.

439

:

Chris: I mean, you do, you've been

to some barrel pig, so I didn't know.

440

:

Matt: Yes, we've been to a few of those.

441

:

Tyler: I think I do want to switch.

442

:

I do taste a little bit of that

sherry casket in there and, and only

443

:

because it's a little bit darker.

444

:

So I'm gonna cheat by looking at the

445

:

Chris: what on earth.

446

:

Matt: I see nothing dark about this.

447

:

Tyler: I just comparative to the last one.

448

:

Yeah.

449

:

Chris: This is a golden amber color.

450

:

It's

451

:

Matt: slightly used penny.

452

:

Chris: Yes.

453

:

It's been through at least

three registers until

454

:

Matt: at least, at least

changed hands with.

455

:

It was a patina.

456

:

Tyler: Just knowing that

there is a sherry one.

457

:

I feel like this would be the sherry one.

458

:

Matt: See, I didn't know that

that's information that you

459

:

were given that I wasn't.

460

:

Chris: He said,

461

:

Tyler: I mentioned it at the

462

:

Chris: front.

463

:

Tyler: Yeah,

464

:

Matt: just kidding.

465

:

I said, that was information we all had.

466

:

Tyler: I said there was a bourbon,

a rye, a melet, and a sherry.

467

:

Matt: I was like, first

of all, how dare you?

468

:

Chris: At least, well, the last time

they didn't give us those options.

469

:

They were just like, it's interesting.

470

:

So each one gives you like a

slightly different idea so you

471

:

can make more educated guesses.

472

:

Matt: So there is, there is a

dryer note on the back of this one,

473

:

which it probably is that Sherry?

474

:

Honestly.

475

:

That's true.

476

:

Yeah.

477

:

I feel like you got that in my head now.

478

:

But I do think it's that,

479

:

Chris: see,

480

:

Matt: this is the sherry,

481

:

Chris: which falls in the inception

because you know a little bit

482

:

Matt: because it does smell

483

:

Tyler: super sweet.

484

:

Matt: Oh yeah.

485

:

Tyler: And so that's why I was

like, oh, this has to be a bourbon.

486

:

Then you try it and you're like, eh,

487

:

Matt: maybe

488

:

Tyler: not.

489

:

Matt: Which makes sense.

490

:

On the nose you would get the sherry

491

:

Tyler: Exactly.

492

:

Matt: Sweetness, but not on the taste.

493

:

Chris: I will go with you guys.

494

:

I have, this is one of the first ones I'm

like, I have no idea what I'm tasting.

495

:

Besides

496

:

Matt: honestly 95 proof.

497

:

Maybe.

498

:

Tyler: I was thinking 90, 95,

499

:

Matt: 90, something like that.

500

:

90, something like that.

501

:

Yeah.

502

:

It's closer to.

503

:

Somewhere between 99 5.

504

:

I'll just say 93 just to make it fun.

505

:

Tyler: Right.

506

:

Go in between.

507

:

I'll

508

:

Chris: go 97.

509

:

Matt: Okay.

510

:

Tyler: I'm gonna say this

is, that last one was five.

511

:

I dunno.

512

:

I'm gonna stay, I'm gonna stick

with my three for age statement.

513

:

Matt: Oh, three years.

514

:

Okay.

515

:

Three.

516

:

Yeah.

517

:

What's your proof?

518

:

Tyler: Oh, I was gonna

say it was around 90.

519

:

Matt: 90.

520

:

Chris: I'm gonna be contrarian.

521

:

It's a six year.

522

:

Matt: I'm getting some

barrel on this one for sure.

523

:

Like, yeah, so

524

:

Chris: that's the question is, was

525

:

Matt: it, I hate to say four again,

but I'm gonna say four again.

526

:

Chris: I take four.

527

:

That's

528

:

Matt: four years old.

529

:

Is it 93 proof Sherry

cask finished bourbon.

530

:

Chris: The, the age statement is based on

how long it stayed in the original barrel.

531

:

Matt: Mm-hmm.

532

:

Chris: Okay.

533

:

Matt: That's true.

534

:

Not how long it also

spent in the sherry cask.

535

:

Chris: Yes.

536

:

Matt: Which would've just

been a matter of months.

537

:

Probably

538

:

Chris: most, I feel like I've read, I had

one one time where like they legit age.

539

:

Like they did a two year, two or

three year, and then they did another

540

:

like year in a different cast.

541

:

That's

542

:

Tyler: just irresponsible.

543

:

Okay.

544

:

So this is actually,

I, I just pulled it up.

545

:

It's kind of cheating.

546

:

Chris: This one's bourbon.

547

:

Tyler: It's not.

548

:

So this is Kansas City Whiskey.

549

:

Okay.

550

:

The distillery is j I'm

go with Reger and Company.

551

:

The whiskey is the Kansas City

Whiskey, which was then aged with

552

:

or mixed with a Sherry Blend job.

553

:

So it was that Kansas City Sherry

554

:

POD00099: blend.

555

:

Chris: Oh, so it

556

:

Tyler: was

557

:

Chris: mixed.

558

:

Tyler: Yeah.

559

:

With the

560

:

Chris: Sherry blend.

561

:

Tyler: The proof is 92.

562

:

The reason why I said it was kind of

cheating a little bit is the whiskey

563

:

is aged around four years, but

it's mixed with that Sherry blend.

564

:

Mm-hmm.

565

:

And that sherry blend is a 15-year-old

whiskey or a 15-year-old sherry blend.

566

:

Matt: Well.

567

:

Yeah, they probably put

very little of that in here.

568

:

Tyler: I'm

569

:

Matt: sure.

570

:

I would hope so.

571

:

It's way too light to be a

572

:

Tyler: right.

573

:

Yeah.

574

:

Especially because it's

a $60 bottle of whiskey.

575

:

Matt: So I mean, so I said 93.

576

:

Chris: Yes, but Tyler

577

:

Matt: said 90 sherry in four year,

578

:

Tyler: so, yeah.

579

:

So you

580

:

Chris: are the trees.

581

:

So what, the question

is, what color is it?

582

:

Tyler: The only thing Chris cares

about, so you'd, you'd appreciate this.

583

:

It's actually copper gold.

584

:

Matt: Copper gold.

585

:

Chris: I love that.

586

:

So it really is.

587

:

Matt: Can we start

guessing the color or that

588

:

Tyler: Yeah.

589

:

Can color.

590

:

Chris: I think that

591

:

Tyler: is copper gold is

like, it's like a pink purple.

592

:

Matt: A

593

:

Chris: pink purple.

594

:

What?

595

:

Tyler: I that's, that's what I

think of when you tell me two

596

:

different, oh, when you say pink

597

:

Chris: purple.

598

:

Okay.

599

:

Tyler: Yeah, like two different metals.

600

:

It's like, it's a copper gold.

601

:

I think it was like, oh,

it's like a pink purple.

602

:

Chris: Well, technically if you

say copper first, it has more.

603

:

Like brown tones and then it

leans towards the golden notes.

604

:

Tyler: What's that thing you do every

day that makes you like a color savant?

605

:

Chris: Oh huge.

606

:

He has this

607

:

Tyler: thing on Instagram and he

gets like a hundred percent every

608

:

time on what color something is.

609

:

Yeah.

610

:

Chris: Not every time

611

:

Matt: I'm fascinated.

612

:

It's pretty darn close.

613

:

Chris: So I

614

:

Tyler: tried it once and I got

like a six and he gets like

615

:

in the nineties, every time

616

:

Matt: it's on Instagram.

617

:

Chris: Yeah.

618

:

So shout out to play Huw.

619

:

You can go to play huw.com

620

:

and you can like click the link.

621

:

And so daily they drop a new color and I

think they're at like, by the time this

622

:

will air, it'll be like 140 something

different episodes, but each day they give

623

:

you a color and they tell you what it is.

624

:

So like Bumblebee is

today when we're guessing.

625

:

So then I can either just start

guessing off my dome and be

626

:

like, I'm gonna go yellow toned.

627

:

Mid, you can kind of go up with like

more saturation, less saturation.

628

:

I think you would like this, Matt.

629

:

Matt: The amount of editing I do with

colors is, is actually might be down.

630

:

Chris: And then you can

submit the guess, which

631

:

Matt: they tell you a name and

then you have to come up with what

632

:

color you think is with that name.

633

:

Chris: Yes.

634

:

But, and that's like, I have a friend

who does it and she's in a group

635

:

where they like, you have to do it

off your memory based off the guesses.

636

:

They can, like the clues they give you.

637

:

And if you use, what a

hint, you lose points, oh,

638

:

Matt: I'm totally gonna do this.

639

:

Chris: So if you hit the

hint, it gives you like the

640

:

picture that it's based off of.

641

:

Matt: Okay.

642

:

Chris: And then you can kind of like

make your adjustments, like go a

643

:

little bit left or right and adjust

and then you submit your guess.

644

:

And then we do the basic version,

which gives you like some adjustments.

645

:

So like add more color so you can more

saturation, more orange, more red.

646

:

You can kind of make your adjustments.

647

:

So yeah, off my first guess.

648

:

I'm like 89% on the Bumblebee.

649

:

So I just, Tyler hates it

'cause, and my wife hates it too.

650

:

'cause I just bullshit and I'm

like, eh, I think it's here.

651

:

Matt: So you said Instagram?

652

:

That's not Instagram.

653

:

Chris: So I found it on Instagram.

654

:

Okay.

655

:

Matt: But

656

:

Chris: you can go on

your computer and do it.

657

:

It's just play hugh.com.

658

:

Matt: Cool.

659

:

Chris: Yeah.

660

:

I'll

661

:

Matt: be texting you about that later.

662

:

Chris: Yes.

663

:

So like, yeah, it's fun.

664

:

'cause daily they drop a new color.

665

:

Yeah.

666

:

They've done, they did

classic magenta the other day.

667

:

And my brain really hurt because

all I could picture was the magenta

668

:

from like from a printer cartridge.

669

:

Matt: Yeah.

670

:

Chris: And I was like, this is not,

671

:

Matt: not at all

672

:

Chris: what, what I was thinking.

673

:

No.

674

:

Matt: My daughter will walk into my

office sometimes while I'm editing.

675

:

She'll just sit there and watch me on

the computer and you know, my edits

676

:

are like, they make sense to my eye.

677

:

Chris: Mm-hmm.

678

:

Matt: I can see slight changes.

679

:

Yes.

680

:

And tones and all that kind of stuff.

681

:

And she's like, dad, I see you clicking

buttons, but nothing is happening.

682

:

It's like things are happening, I promise.

683

:

So.

684

:

It's always usually those tunnel

685

:

Chris: Yes.

686

:

Matt: Curves.

687

:

Oh, this is darker.

688

:

Chris: This is definitely,

this is definitely darker.

689

:

Matt: Would you say it's amber?

690

:

Waves of green.

691

:

Chris: Ooh,

692

:

Matt: okay.

693

:

Ooh, this is,

694

:

Chris: it's almost

695

:

Matt: yummy.

696

:

That nose has got that brown sugar.

697

:

Chris: I was gonna say brown sugar

698

:

Matt: honey.

699

:

Things I love.

700

:

And some age, this has got

some more time in barrel.

701

:

I say this has barrel,

702

:

Tyler: this has time.

703

:

Matt: I say, I'm gonna say B.

704

:

Seven years.

705

:

Six.

706

:

Seven years.

707

:

Definitely smells like bourbon.

708

:

Chris: So talking about age statement with

whiskey or bourbon, what's your favorite?

709

:

Do you think it should be

really old or you think it's

710

:

Matt: I'm not, I'm not of the opinion

that something would be too old to me.

711

:

I like the oaky, you

know, I like oaky wines.

712

:

I like oaky bourbons.

713

:

I like, you know,

something about the wood.

714

:

I guess I just, you know, I like the

smell of it and everything, but pause.

715

:

Is that a Taylor Swift reference?

716

:

Ooh.

717

:

Tyler: This is definitely bourbon.

718

:

Matt: Yeah.

719

:

But no, I like, I like 12.

720

:

I like 12-year-old.

721

:

Chris: Okay.

722

:

Matt: That could sound weird

too, if that's just a sound bite.

723

:

Yes,

724

:

Chris: yes.

725

:

But that's why, that's why said

726

:

Matt: bourbon.

727

:

I like 12-year-old.

728

:

Alright, we're gonna cut and start.

729

:

Chris: I, so we joke because

like on our last episode we did

730

:

a 21-year-old Glenn Finnick.

731

:

Tyler: Thank you for

finishing the sentence.

732

:

Unlike Matt.

733

:

Chris: We did.

734

:

Yes.

735

:

And it's interesting, so the longer that's

736

:

Matt: funky,

737

:

Chris: a whiskey or bourbon

is sitting in the barrel, it

738

:

picks up more of those notes.

739

:

But you also lose whiskey to

like just the natural Yeah.

740

:

Matt: To the, to the angels.

741

:

Chris: Which is interesting.

742

:

So like.

743

:

I feel like after a certain amount,

like you don't get more flavor because

744

:

it's all just been like rotated.

745

:

And

746

:

Tyler: you know, I, this is

slightly cheating 'cause it

747

:

is the third out of four, but

748

:

Matt: Well, don't say anything 'cause

I don't know anything yet, so hold up.

749

:

Tyler: Well, no, I, I won't

completely give it away, but on here

750

:

it says there are some incredible

stories behind these four samples.

751

:

One of them says a bourbon made from a

lost heirloom variety of corn brought

752

:

back from its last two remaining cobs.

753

:

And I was like, I think I

had this in South Carolina.

754

:

Matt: This is the funk

I'm getting on the end.

755

:

I think that's what this

is because it's like corn.

756

:

The nose is way better than the taste.

757

:

The taste has got some,

758

:

Tyler: I'm pretty sure

we've had this before.

759

:

If I'm gonna go way, if I'm gonna go

way out and go ahead just like see

760

:

if I can really hit it on the nose.

761

:

I think this is from Highwire.

762

:

Chris: Oh,

763

:

Tyler: what's the, there

was some type of corn.

764

:

Chris: Oh gosh,

765

:

Tyler: it's gonna, so the high

wire, it was something corn.

766

:

Matt: It's dry though.

767

:

Yes.

768

:

Like back of the tongue.

769

:

You get that seize up on this one.

770

:

Chris: Yeah.

771

:

Tyler: So if I, if I'm, this is really

772

:

Matt: good though, but it's,

773

:

Tyler: if I can remember back to

like what, two years ago, which

774

:

I, I know I can't do, I think it's

around five or six years aged.

775

:

It's sometime of that, some type

of that heirloom corn and I'm

776

:

pretty sure it's from high wire.

777

:

I have this bottle.

778

:

Chris: It's definitely older.

779

:

Yeah,

780

:

Tyler: because I drank

it like two months ago.

781

:

This tastes so that's the only reason why

782

:

Matt: this tastes like a lot of like

I have a lot of vintage bottles that

783

:

are like, you know, dusty bottles.

784

:

This reminds me of that.

785

:

Oh

786

:

Tyler: yeah.

787

:

Matt: For some reason.

788

:

So, I don't know.

789

:

Chris: I need a place to

bring back some dusty bottles.

790

:

Matt: A place to bring back some.

791

:

Chris: Yeah.

792

:

I feel like what you mean there aren't

as many dusty bottles where I've tried

793

:

all of them that I've seen in town.

794

:

I'm pretty

795

:

Matt: sure

796

:

Tyler: Matt's the only one

that has dusty bottles.

797

:

Matt: Do another, let's

do another episode.

798

:

We bring some dusty and we just talk

about I got plenty at home if you wanna,

799

:

Chris: I'm down for

800

:

Matt: it.

801

:

That'd be a fun one.

802

:

Say, yeah,

803

:

Chris: that'd be a lot

804

:

Matt: of

805

:

Chris: fun.

806

:

For those who don't know, dusty

is a, is pretty much a bottle

807

:

that's been discontinued forever

and it's been found somewhere.

808

:

So it's, it was what aged

traditionally and then bottled

809

:

and then it's been sitting there

810

:

Matt: whole b Yeah, it's just been there.

811

:

Yeah.

812

:

The bottle, it's been, it was

bottled, you know, sixties, seventies,

813

:

Chris: yes.

814

:

Matt: Whatever.

815

:

And

816

:

Chris: I, I also miss the days

where they would use fun bottles.

817

:

Like now it's just like, it's

clear, has a different shape.

818

:

If you, if you were ever at the

Starling back in the day, they

819

:

had a, was it a duck or a kiss?

820

:

Matt: Yeah, the decanters.

821

:

Chris: Yes, the, mm-hmm.

822

:

The classic decanters are just now.

823

:

Matt: So the reason they did

that, the reason they did that is

824

:

because that was during the vodka

age when they couldn't sell b.

825

:

So they had to make 'em like

decorative house pieces so that

826

:

people would actually buy them.

827

:

Tyler: Oh, that's interesting.

828

:

I didn't know

829

:

Matt: that.

830

:

Tyler: Yeah.

831

:

Oh, that's cool.

832

:

Matt: But there, I think there's

some, some companies are doing it now.

833

:

They'll come out with some funky

stuff used around the holidays.

834

:

Tyler: Yeah.

835

:

Yes.

836

:

What was the one the Whiskey Society

or something that had a unicorn?

837

:

Chris: Yes.

838

:

How

839

:

Matt: nice.

840

:

Chris: Yeah, we sold a unicorn.

841

:

We've tried a one that was out

of a, was it a, like a nine iron?

842

:

Tyler: Oh yeah, that's in my car.

843

:

Chris: Like there was a

844

:

Tyler: whiskey, I poured it out.

845

:

Chris: The bottle was literally

shaped like, like a club head.

846

:

It

847

:

Tyler: was terrible.

848

:

I poured that.

849

:

Matt: I didn't clarify.

850

:

I don't have an open bottle

in my car by any means.

851

:

Chris: No, it was definitely

852

:

Tyler: too young.

853

:

It was, it was a terrible whiskey.

854

:

Yeah,

855

:

Matt: I'm

856

:

Tyler: sure.

857

:

But it looked really cool.

858

:

The, the bottle looked cool.

859

:

Matt: Purely aesthetic,

like the bottle's cool.

860

:

So,

861

:

Tyler: yeah, so I poured it out.

862

:

I cleaned it out and I'm gonna

bring it, and it's gonna be

863

:

in my office, the bottle.

864

:

But

865

:

Matt: Let's talk about this.

866

:

This is,

867

:

Tyler: yeah.

868

:

Matt: The nose is just fantastic.

869

:

Tyler: Mm-hmm.

870

:

This is probably my favorite so far.

871

:

This

872

:

Matt: is good.

873

:

Yeah.

874

:

I mean, it's the most

interesting for sure.

875

:

And the,

876

:

Chris: this gives off an ink like an

Instagram model, like it looks beautiful

877

:

and then as soon as you taste it careful

or like you start talking to her, you're

878

:

like, you're not as good as we thought.

879

:

Matt: Mm.

880

:

Chris: I say that I love my wife

not talking to anybody else.

881

:

I'm just stating this.

882

:

This definitely smells.

883

:

I'm

884

:

Tyler: clipping that 'cause

that sounds really bad.

885

:

No, no.

886

:

You just said she's an Instagram model.

887

:

That's not that great.

888

:

And then you talked about your wife.

889

:

No,

890

:

Chris: no.

891

:

This smells like, it would be like,

892

:

Matt: this is third.

893

:

No, he's been drinking for a while.

894

:

So been drinking

895

:

Chris: for a while.

896

:

It smells like it has a lot.

897

:

Would have a lot sweeter of a profile.

898

:

Matt: Oh yeah.

899

:

Chris: Or like, oh, I see what

something, and it's like, it's not bad.

900

:

It's just not what I was expecting.

901

:

Matt: This is one of those

bourbons that I, I, I would

902

:

rather just smell for a long time.

903

:

Chris: Yes.

904

:

Matt: I have bourbons and I just want,

like, I just, I don't wanna stop nose.

905

:

You open the

906

:

Chris: bottle and you're like,

907

:

Matt: yeah, I just want,

I don't wanna stop nosing.

908

:

'cause the moment I taste it, it's

gonna ruin everything that I, not

909

:

that it ruins everything, but it's

still interesting onto to the taste.

910

:

This one is, it's not like I, it's not

911

:

Chris: horrible, but

912

:

Matt: it's, but

913

:

Chris: it smells, I smell honey

and oatmeal for some reason,

914

:

Tyler: but knowing that it's, that

there is an heirloom one out there.

915

:

Chris: It's, I,

916

:

Tyler: I think it's pretty,

I'm pretty sure it's this one.

917

:

I'm pretty sure it's from a high

wire because it tastes a lot like it.

918

:

Chris: So, high proof.

919

:

I'm gonna go 1 0 7.

920

:

Tyler: Oh, I wouldn't do that.

921

:

Matt: I wouldn't do that part at all.

922

:

Chris: Well, my tongue is also burnt.

923

:

Matt: I want 1 0 1.

924

:

Chris: Go ahead.

925

:

Tyler: If that, I was gonna say 95.

926

:

Chris: Okay.

927

:

Matt: 1 0 1 feels like

I'm going a little high.

928

:

Chris: Yeah.

929

:

But then color, this is

definitely like a pine color.

930

:

It's more brown than it is

darker than the last one.

931

:

More keeping the copper tones.

932

:

It's a very aged copper

933

:

Tyler: start.

934

:

C, our camera's getting hot

so we're gonna have to move.

935

:

Move the party.

936

:

Chris: Why don't you stop it?

937

:

Chill it out earlier.

938

:

Send it.

939

:

Matt: Wait.

940

:

Here we

941

:

Chris: go.

942

:

Matt: Wait, wait.

943

:

So have we said everything already?

944

:

Chris: Age?

945

:

How old do you think it is?

946

Matt: I think seven years.

947

:

Chris: I'll go eight.

948

:

Tyler said six.

949

:

Tyler: I, yeah, I already know what

it is now, but I said six originally.

950

:

Chris: Go ahead.

951

:

So what do you have, sir?

952

Matt: I think seven years.

953

:

I think 1 0 1.

954

:

1 0

955

:

Chris: 1.

956

:

Matt: Definitely bourbon.

957

:

959

:

Chris: Yeah, I'm with that.

960

:

Tyler: Okay, so it is the

Jimmy Red Bottled and Bond.

961

974

:

Matt: Wow.

975

Chris, is Pink Amber.

977

:

Matt: Pink amber.

978

:

Chris: Interesting.

979

Matt: You said amber waves

of grain at the beginning.

980

:

Chris: Yeah, you did.

981

:

It's true.

982

Yeah.

983

So

984

:

Tyler: that's closest

985

:

Matt: pink, amber.

986

:

Chris: Interesting.

987

:

Like, it looks like this door though.

988

:

Like I held it up.

989

:

I'm like I could see that

990

:

Matt: it drinks way older than five years.

991

:

Yeah.

992

:

That's interesting.

993

:

That was a fun bottle.

994

:

Chris: If you would like to try

some more, just hit up Tyler.

995

:

And we do have some, I was gonna say,

00:30:04,780 --> 00:30:05,140

Matt: you do?

:

00:30:05,170 --> 00:30:05,530

Chris: Yeah.

:

00:30:05,530 --> 00:30:05,540

Yeah.

:

00:30:06,190 --> 00:30:08,080

We bought it, it was in like year one.

:

00:30:08,350 --> 00:30:09,190

Tyler: I think it was year two.

:

00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:09,670

Chris: Okay.

:

00:30:09,910 --> 00:30:10,210

Tyler: Yeah.

:

00:30:10,780 --> 00:30:15,370

So now that I'm talking about it,

we're actually going to have a

:

00:30:15,420 --> 00:30:18,870

oh, Chris, I'm gonna let you know

what's happening in November.

:

00:30:19,260 --> 00:30:20,370

Welcome to early November.

:

00:30:20,370 --> 00:30:21,690

There's actually gonna be a dad's event.

:

00:30:22,530 --> 00:30:26,220

For in conjunction with fourth

trimester mission Oh yeah.

:

00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,710

With Alex Richardson, who's

been on the podcast a few times.

:

00:30:28,710 --> 00:30:28,800

Mm-hmm.

:

00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,440

So we're having a dad's event

for all the dads to come out.

:

00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:32,880

We're gonna have whiskey tastings.

:

00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,190

I'm probably gonna bring

about six bottles of whiskey.

:

00:30:35,570 --> 00:30:36,860

You get to choose either two or three.

:

00:30:36,860 --> 00:30:40,670

She hasn't decided yet that you wanna

try while you're out there, and I will

:

00:30:40,670 --> 00:30:42,170

make sure this bottle is one of them.

:

00:30:43,250 --> 00:30:44,360

So come on out.

:

00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,360

And Red corn support a

good, support, a good cost.

:

00:30:50,570 --> 00:30:52,730

Chris: Sorry, I had to go

back to Hued for a second.

:

00:30:53,450 --> 00:30:55,730

I feel like this is

definitely, they don't sponsor

:

00:30:55,730 --> 00:30:56,270

Matt: at this point,

:

00:30:58,265 --> 00:31:02,510

Chris: and this is the most like Matt

Ray thing I've ever seen because like,

:

00:31:02,870 --> 00:31:05,240

it legit tells you the color name.

:

00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,430

Like this is like hashtag.

:

00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,780

FF D 7 24.

:

00:31:12,620 --> 00:31:13,670

Matt: Okay, so the color code?

:

00:31:13,730 --> 00:31:14,270

Chris: Yes.

:

00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:15,440

Matt: Oh, that's even better.

:

00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:15,920

I love that.

:

00:31:15,980 --> 00:31:16,280

Chris: Yeah.

:

00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,050

And I'm like, it's so specific.

:

00:31:18,050 --> 00:31:18,110

Yeah.

:

00:31:18,470 --> 00:31:22,850

But you can see like the difference

between when you the final and

:

00:31:22,850 --> 00:31:24,410

then like the actual color.

:

00:31:24,470 --> 00:31:24,710

Matt: Yeah.

:

00:31:24,740 --> 00:31:27,470

Chris: Which is cool to kinda

like be like, oh, I can see,

:

00:31:28,130 --> 00:31:29,390

I can notice a difference.

:

00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:29,990

Matt: Hmm.

:

00:31:30,020 --> 00:31:30,200

That's,

:

00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:34,250

Chris: but I'm interested to

see this is, this is a rye.

:

00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:35,690

Matt: Sorry, this is interesting.

:

00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,730

Tyler: Well, it's the last

one, so it is a rye, but it hit

:

00:31:37,730 --> 00:31:38,720

me in the back of the throat.

:

00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:39,350

Holy shit.

:

00:31:41,150 --> 00:31:42,320

Matt: But is it finish in something?

:

00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:43,040

Chris: That's what she said.

:

00:31:43,100 --> 00:31:44,120

Tyler: I don't know.

:

00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:45,170

I have to try it again.

:

00:31:45,470 --> 00:31:46,130

Matt: What I just said.

:

00:31:47,450 --> 00:31:48,560

She could have also said that.

:

00:31:50,990 --> 00:31:59,030

Did it finish in Anyway, I will

say that nose is like, it's giving,

:

00:32:00,260 --> 00:32:00,560

Tyler: yeah.

:

00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:01,670

Matt: It's finished in something.

:

00:32:01,940 --> 00:32:02,060

Tyler: Yeah.

:

00:32:02,060 --> 00:32:03,020

It must be finished in, yeah.

:

00:32:04,865 --> 00:32:05,675

Matt: But why would they put two?

:

00:32:05,675 --> 00:32:08,945

Would they put two finished

bourbons and probably not.

:

00:32:10,205 --> 00:32:11,345

Chris: I would say that probably, but

:

00:32:11,345 --> 00:32:11,975

Tyler: might have too

:

00:32:11,975 --> 00:32:12,630

Matt: many sls.

:

00:32:12,635 --> 00:32:12,695

I

:

00:32:13,510 --> 00:32:13,710

Chris: dunno.

:

00:32:13,710 --> 00:32:14,030

Either yet.

:

00:32:14,030 --> 00:32:15,875

This is the second best smelling one.

:

00:32:16,175 --> 00:32:16,535

Tyler: Actually.

:

00:32:16,535 --> 00:32:16,685

I

:

00:32:16,690 --> 00:32:16,710

POD:

:

00:32:16,715 --> 00:32:16,895

Tyler: press

:

00:32:16,895 --> 00:32:16,985

Chris: the

:

00:32:16,985 --> 00:32:18,065

Tyler: button to get the reveal.

:

00:32:18,065 --> 00:32:19,985

Chris: So the, the corn one

was the best smelling one.

:

00:32:19,985 --> 00:32:21,215

This one is actually pretty good too.

:

00:32:21,935 --> 00:32:26,015

Tyler: Man, that nose, I smelled it

and I was like, oh, that tastes good.

:

00:32:26,015 --> 00:32:28,265

And then I like tried it and

then I was like, holy shit.

:

00:32:28,265 --> 00:32:29,195

Matt: Got like a little apricot.

:

00:32:29,195 --> 00:32:29,345

Like

:

00:32:31,235 --> 00:32:35,645

Chris: I think apricot might be

my favorite fruit in a whiskey.

:

00:32:35,765 --> 00:32:36,665

Matt: Well that's definitely rye.

:

00:32:38,045 --> 00:32:41,285

Tyler: I'm gonna go with a

100% rye Nashville on that one.

:

00:32:41,975 --> 00:32:42,695

Chris: Yeah, she's spicy.

:

00:32:47,585 --> 00:32:48,695

Tyler: I would say four years old.

:

00:32:48,695 --> 00:32:50,015

It doesn't really taste young.

:

00:32:50,165 --> 00:32:50,645

Matt: It does.

:

00:32:50,945 --> 00:32:51,305

Yeah.

:

00:32:52,445 --> 00:32:53,045

That nose is

:

00:32:53,105 --> 00:32:53,795

Tyler: killing me though.

:

00:32:54,605 --> 00:32:58,715

Chris: So how do they get fruit flavors

into a, did they just drop fruit into it?

:

00:32:58,720 --> 00:32:58,830

Matt: No.

:

00:32:59,195 --> 00:33:02,225

Oh, you mean like actual flavored whisk?

:

00:33:02,555 --> 00:33:04,055

Chris: Yeah, like, well, no, like this.

:

00:33:04,055 --> 00:33:07,985

Like where you're smelling apricot

or honey or fig, like how do

:

00:33:08,165 --> 00:33:09,275

Matt: it No, it's just

like different wood.

:

00:33:09,755 --> 00:33:09,965

Chris: Oh,

:

00:33:10,055 --> 00:33:10,085

Matt: okay.

:

00:33:10,085 --> 00:33:12,575

Goes all different flavors.

:

00:33:12,575 --> 00:33:14,825

If they do it right, I mean,

unless they're finishing it.

:

00:33:14,825 --> 00:33:16,925

If they finish it in some other

barrel, then obviously it's

:

00:33:16,925 --> 00:33:19,685

picking up the fruit flavors of,

:

00:33:20,315 --> 00:33:21,245

Chris: I'm always curious.

:

00:33:21,905 --> 00:33:25,475

Tyler: I thought it was the rye, but I

think it just has a really high A BV too.

:

00:33:25,625 --> 00:33:26,795

Chris: We haven't had the rye.

:

00:33:26,795 --> 00:33:27,755

It has to be the

:

00:33:27,755 --> 00:33:27,845

POD:

:

00:33:27,845 --> 00:33:31,025

Tyler: Well, yeah, I'm, I'm saying it,

it's clearly the rye, but I'm trying

:

00:33:31,025 --> 00:33:34,835

to figure out, is there just a high

A BV with the rye and I think so.

:

00:33:34,835 --> 00:33:36,785

Chris: Oh, because of it being so spicy

:

00:33:37,625 --> 00:33:37,835

Tyler: because it

:

00:33:37,835 --> 00:33:38,525

Matt: hits you in the back.

:

00:33:38,525 --> 00:33:39,425

That fruit that fruity knows though.

:

00:33:39,425 --> 00:33:41,105

I'm trying to pick out what that is.

:

00:33:41,105 --> 00:33:41,555

That's like,

:

00:33:44,015 --> 00:33:44,195

Chris: yeah,

:

00:33:44,195 --> 00:33:45,935

Matt: I can, Ooh, I just got

like a cinnamon, like a hot,

:

00:33:45,935 --> 00:33:48,365

like a red, hot cinnamon kind of.

:

00:33:49,145 --> 00:33:49,865

Chris: And I can tell it's

:

00:33:49,865 --> 00:33:50,435

Tyler: when you taste it.

:

00:33:50,435 --> 00:33:51,215

I get it too.

:

00:33:51,425 --> 00:33:52,415

That cinnamon flavor

:

00:33:52,745 --> 00:33:53,525

Chris: I can taste.

:

00:33:53,585 --> 00:33:58,805

No, it's rye because it definitely is,

it, it warms the mouth like it's very.

:

00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,560

It coats.

:

00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,980

Like I took a sip and I

was like, oh, that's a rye.

:

00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:06,020

It reminds me of a Manhattan,

:

00:34:08,810 --> 00:34:10,730

which is not my favorite whiskey drink.

:

00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,400

Matt: It's definitely,

I'd say four years, maybe.

:

00:34:14,090 --> 00:34:15,080

Tyler: I was thinking maybe four years.

:

00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:16,730

Yeah, I was thinking around four.

:

00:34:17,420 --> 00:34:19,969

I think it's, I'm gonna

say it's 120 proof.

:

00:34:19,975 --> 00:34:21,199

It, it just tastes hot.

:

00:34:21,860 --> 00:34:23,900

It tastes hot to me outside of the rye.

:

00:34:24,020 --> 00:34:24,590

Matt: I'll go,

:

00:34:25,219 --> 00:34:26,120

Chris: I'm going one 10.

:

00:34:26,570 --> 00:34:27,620

Matt: I'll go 1 0 7.

:

00:34:28,130 --> 00:34:28,159

Okay.

:

00:34:29,420 --> 00:34:31,489

Chris: And I, I'll, I'll

stick with your four year,

:

00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:33,170

Matt: 1 0 7.

:

00:34:33,170 --> 00:34:35,480

Four year finished in something maybe.

:

00:34:37,940 --> 00:34:38,150

Chris: All right.

:

00:34:38,150 --> 00:34:38,540

Ready?

:

00:34:38,810 --> 00:34:38,989

Yes.

:

00:34:38,989 --> 00:34:39,320

Matt: Yeah.

:

00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:40,010

Tyler: Pull it up.

:

00:34:41,510 --> 00:34:41,719

All right.

:

00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,239

This is Reunion Rye whiskey.

:

00:34:44,420 --> 00:34:45,560

Obviously it's the last one.

:

00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:47,639

It has to be barrel Strength.

:

00:34:47,940 --> 00:34:48,719

So it's gonna be hundred.

:

00:34:49,199 --> 00:34:49,530

No.

:

00:34:49,530 --> 00:34:50,760

So it's gonna be hot.

:

00:34:50,764 --> 00:34:51,210

Chris: Oh, oh

:

00:34:51,270 --> 00:34:51,360

Tyler: yeah.

:

00:34:51,429 --> 00:34:55,480

So it's from Union Horse

Distilling Company Proof 1 21.

:

00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:56,020

Matt: Dang.

:

00:34:56,020 --> 00:34:56,860

Chris: Okay.

:

00:34:56,860 --> 00:34:56,870

Dang.

:

00:34:57,010 --> 00:34:57,430

Okay.

:

00:34:57,820 --> 00:34:58,960

Tyler: This is surprising though.

:

00:34:59,020 --> 00:34:59,830

Age statement.

:

00:34:59,830 --> 00:35:00,700

Six years.

:

00:35:01,210 --> 00:35:01,630

Matt: Whoa,

:

00:35:02,740 --> 00:35:03,040

Tyler: this is

:

00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:03,370

Matt: here.

:

00:35:03,460 --> 00:35:03,850

Tyler: Yeah.

:

00:35:04,690 --> 00:35:07,210

Chris: So barrel proof, barrel strength.

:

00:35:08,260 --> 00:35:10,810

Tyler: Barrel strength is what it is

when it comes straight out of the barrel.

:

00:35:10,810 --> 00:35:12,340

Barrel proof means it's 100.

:

00:35:13,870 --> 00:35:14,440

Chris: Do you know why?

:

00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:14,500

Matt: No.

:

00:35:14,500 --> 00:35:14,680

Wait.

:

00:35:14,710 --> 00:35:15,100

What'd you say?

:

00:35:15,430 --> 00:35:16,270

Barrel proof means what?

:

00:35:16,450 --> 00:35:16,780

Chris: 100

:

00:35:16,780 --> 00:35:18,010

Tyler: barrel proof is 100.

:

00:35:18,010 --> 00:35:21,040

Barrel strength is what it comes

as right out of the barrel.

:

00:35:21,100 --> 00:35:21,820

They're not cutting it.

:

00:35:23,380 --> 00:35:24,490

That's what I was told anyway.

:

00:35:25,450 --> 00:35:29,170

Matt: I mean, barrel strength and barrel

proof are essentially the same thing.

:

00:35:29,500 --> 00:35:29,920

Chris: Are they Is

:

00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:31,720

Matt: saying there's the a

proof that things go in when, or

:

00:35:31,870 --> 00:35:34,750

there's the entry proof when it

goes into a barrel that can be,

:

00:35:35,350 --> 00:35:38,050

Tyler: this says barrel

strength and the proof is 1 21.

:

00:35:38,350 --> 00:35:38,560

Matt: Yes.

:

00:35:38,860 --> 00:35:42,760

Tyler: And then the barrel proof

ones that we had were both 100.

:

00:35:43,630 --> 00:35:44,200

Matt: Well, that's.

:

00:35:45,475 --> 00:35:46,315

You might be confusing.

:

00:35:46,315 --> 00:35:46,975

Bottle and bond.

:

00:35:46,975 --> 00:35:47,155

I'm not

:

00:35:47,155 --> 00:35:47,845

Tyler: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

:

00:35:47,845 --> 00:35:48,025

Bottle.

:

00:35:48,230 --> 00:35:48,580

Sorry.

:

00:35:48,585 --> 00:35:48,805

Sorry.

:

00:35:48,810 --> 00:35:49,555

Yeah, bottle and bond.

:

00:35:49,570 --> 00:35:49,860

Okay.

:

00:35:49,860 --> 00:35:49,870

Okay.

:

00:35:49,870 --> 00:35:49,915

Yeah.

:

00:35:49,915 --> 00:35:50,245

Sorry.

:

00:35:50,425 --> 00:35:52,525

I was, yeah, I've been drinking too much.

:

00:35:52,555 --> 00:35:52,855

Matt: Yeah, you're

:

00:35:52,855 --> 00:35:53,065

Tyler: right.

:

00:35:53,245 --> 00:35:53,665

Matt: Blame it on the,

:

00:35:54,145 --> 00:35:54,595

Tyler: yeah.

:

00:35:56,215 --> 00:35:57,365

Anyway but

:

00:35:57,395 --> 00:35:58,625

Matt: so it's not finished in anything.

:

00:35:59,825 --> 00:36:03,785

Tyler: The mash bill says it's a

Midwest grown rye, so I don't know

:

00:36:03,785 --> 00:36:05,345

if that has anything to do with it.

:

00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,355

No, but it is not

finished in anything, man.

:

00:36:07,385 --> 00:36:10,925

Matt: What a unique, this is a

very, I really like this actually.

:

00:36:10,985 --> 00:36:11,255

Like,

:

00:36:11,495 --> 00:36:13,385

Tyler: so here, here's what's interesting.

:

00:36:13,685 --> 00:36:14,195

Aroma.

:

00:36:14,195 --> 00:36:16,625

The nose is vibrant from the start.

:

00:36:16,775 --> 00:36:21,695

Nice wood elements lead to rich

winter, green snickerdoodle, dark

:

00:36:21,695 --> 00:36:24,365

licorice, vanilla, and boysenberry.

:

00:36:25,380 --> 00:36:25,735

Chris: The poison

:

00:36:25,755 --> 00:36:25,975

Tyler: bay.

:

00:36:25,975 --> 00:36:30,720

The taste is right where we thought it

was an intriguing palate, which layers

:

00:36:30,720 --> 00:36:36,060

a sweet spice, cinnamon mace, dark

brown sugar, fermented blackberries,

:

00:36:36,060 --> 00:36:37,710

canned blueberries and good tannins.

:

00:36:37,950 --> 00:36:42,510

So the last, like six I didn't get,

but the, the spice and cinnamon.

:

00:36:42,900 --> 00:36:43,920

I definitely get a lot of

:

00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:44,910

Chris: the canned

:

00:36:45,540 --> 00:36:45,720

Matt: fruit.

:

00:36:45,720 --> 00:36:45,950

That's a fun one.

:

00:36:45,950 --> 00:36:46,020

You definitely fun.

:

00:36:46,020 --> 00:36:46,830

I like that a lot.

:

00:36:46,950 --> 00:36:51,510

Tyler: And then the finish to play

off of that is going to leave you

:

00:36:51,510 --> 00:36:54,270

with notes of toffee plum juice.

:

00:36:54,330 --> 00:36:56,520

Buttered cinnamon toast and raisins.

:

00:36:57,060 --> 00:36:57,300

Matt: Huh,

:

00:36:58,440 --> 00:36:59,070

Chris: interesting.

:

00:36:59,070 --> 00:36:59,080

Matt: Instead,

:

00:37:00,330 --> 00:37:02,010

Tyler: so you're close on

the fruity finish, which

:

00:37:02,010 --> 00:37:03,600

Chris: plum and raisins.

:

00:37:03,900 --> 00:37:04,440

Matt: Yes.

:

00:37:04,620 --> 00:37:05,760

Chris: Remind me of apricots.

:

00:37:05,820 --> 00:37:11,070

Matt: See, I like a i i these days I

like a whiskey that makes me think.

:

00:37:12,355 --> 00:37:16,740

I feel like a lot of 'em just taste like,

okay, that's a bourbon barrel, whatever.

:

00:37:16,740 --> 00:37:16,980

Right?

:

00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:18,000

But this is fun.

:

00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,250

Like this is, this is like,

okay, that's interesting.

:

00:37:20,430 --> 00:37:22,890

Chris: This is why, talk about why

we thought you would love this.

:

00:37:23,340 --> 00:37:25,470

Like just showing up blind barrels.

:

00:37:25,830 --> 00:37:29,760

There's people we, we've had on

the podcast who love whiskey.

:

00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:33,615

And we feel like you were one of them, it

would be like, you would appreciate, we

:

00:37:33,615 --> 00:37:34,695

Tyler: appreciate the flavors

:

00:37:34,755 --> 00:37:35,145

Chris: trying.

:

00:37:35,265 --> 00:37:36,225

Matt: They're honored or, or insulted.

:

00:37:36,225 --> 00:37:36,525

I don't know.

:

00:37:37,545 --> 00:37:38,385

He likes whiskey.

:

00:37:38,685 --> 00:37:39,825

He likes to drink a lot of whiskey.

:

00:37:40,935 --> 00:37:42,375

Tyler: They like the micro distilleries.

:

00:37:42,435 --> 00:37:44,805

They have to do something fun, like to

:

00:37:45,135 --> 00:37:45,465

Matt: for sure

:

00:37:45,465 --> 00:37:47,295

Tyler: kind of participate with the

:

00:37:47,325 --> 00:37:47,475

Matt: blands

:

00:37:48,525 --> 00:37:50,475

Tyler: and the buffalo traces

and stuff for the world.

:

00:37:50,475 --> 00:37:52,425

They have to do something

different to make 'em stand out.

:

00:37:52,425 --> 00:37:52,485

Yeah.

:

00:37:52,515 --> 00:37:53,985

So that, that's what's fun about this.

:

00:37:54,075 --> 00:37:54,345

Matt: Yes.

:

00:37:54,375 --> 00:37:57,255

So do you want me to pull

something from my magical bag?

:

00:37:57,735 --> 00:37:58,065

Yes.

:

00:37:58,065 --> 00:37:58,755

You won't say no to

:

00:37:58,755 --> 00:37:59,175

Tyler: that.

:

00:37:59,295 --> 00:38:00,525

Matt: Tell me what you

think about what it's

:

00:38:00,525 --> 00:38:01,155

Chris: Well for sure.

:

00:38:01,845 --> 00:38:07,395

So for those who are listening, Matt heard

that we were doing a blind tasting and

:

00:38:07,395 --> 00:38:08,895

thought he had to bring his own whiskey.

:

00:38:10,245 --> 00:38:10,275

Oh.

:

00:38:10,275 --> 00:38:11,115

He had to bring his own

:

00:38:11,115 --> 00:38:11,925

Tyler: blinds, text,

:

00:38:13,155 --> 00:38:16,780

Chris: bring some stuff, or,

which we're not mad about because

:

00:38:17,580 --> 00:38:19,695

Tyler: I was like, we have a

company we work with to do that.

:

00:38:19,695 --> 00:38:22,155

But yes, I was like, but you

can, I'm not gonna say no.

:

00:38:22,635 --> 00:38:26,655

Chris: So before we get into it, you

wanna tell everybody how they can find

:

00:38:26,655 --> 00:38:28,785

blind barrels and all the fun stuff?

:

00:38:29,745 --> 00:38:32,325

Tyler: Yeah, I'll put 'em in the

show notes because they actually

:

00:38:32,325 --> 00:38:34,035

did give us an affiliate thing.

:

00:38:34,035 --> 00:38:39,325

So if you do want to participate and

help us get a few bucks I'll put their

:

00:38:39,325 --> 00:38:43,255

link in the description below and that

way you can get plugged right on in.

:

00:38:43,705 --> 00:38:54,265

And also, this is not part of our podcast,

but if you go onto our Instagram, tag us,

:

00:38:55,674 --> 00:39:01,944

give us a review on Spotify, or if you

follow us and subscribe on YouTube, I'll

:

00:39:01,944 --> 00:39:07,895

put you in for a chance to win a free line

barrels box that we just got this month.

:

00:39:09,035 --> 00:39:11,104

The reason why we're doing

that is because I accidentally

:

00:39:11,104 --> 00:39:12,455

signed up for two subscriptions.

:

00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:13,299

So

:

00:39:13,834 --> 00:39:14,374

Matt: full disclosure.

:

00:39:14,825 --> 00:39:16,265

Full disclosure, we're accidentally,

:

00:39:16,549 --> 00:39:16,899

Tyler: we're

:

00:39:16,939 --> 00:39:17,060

Matt: accidentally.

:

00:39:18,019 --> 00:39:19,579

Tyler: Yeah, so I paid for two.

:

00:39:19,579 --> 00:39:21,349

So you guys get one of 'em 'cause

I already went through one.

:

00:39:21,950 --> 00:39:23,599

So do one of those things.

:

00:39:23,809 --> 00:39:27,709

Get your entry into the

giveaway and have fun with us.

:

00:39:27,919 --> 00:39:28,490

Chris: Yes.

:

00:39:29,419 --> 00:39:31,430

And now that blind barrels is done.

:

00:39:31,430 --> 00:39:33,349

Now we're just doing Matt raised blind.

:

00:39:35,209 --> 00:39:35,749

Tyler: Matt raised you.

:

00:39:35,749 --> 00:39:35,990

What's

:

00:39:35,990 --> 00:39:36,889

Matt: gonna happen to this point?

:

00:39:36,889 --> 00:39:38,104

Things could get a little wild.

:

00:39:39,439 --> 00:39:43,159

Chris: So we talked about like how

many whiskeys and bourbons that Tyler

:

00:39:43,159 --> 00:39:48,740

and I have tried, which is well over

150 different ones from the podcast.

:

00:39:48,740 --> 00:39:49,430

That's just what we've

:

00:39:49,430 --> 00:39:50,419

Tyler: had on the podcast.

:

00:39:50,419 --> 00:39:50,509

Chris: Yes.

:

00:39:50,869 --> 00:39:56,149

And Matt is somebody I know who

is a very eclectic collection,

:

00:39:56,869 --> 00:39:58,159

which is ever changing.

:

00:39:58,189 --> 00:40:01,789

So he brought some interesting

things for us to taste.

:

00:40:01,969 --> 00:40:04,549

Matt: My wife wants it to ever change,

like, you know, out of the house.

:

00:40:07,069 --> 00:40:09,529

Chris: I looked at my, my

collection and I, people are

:

00:40:09,529 --> 00:40:11,449

like, you have a huge collection.

:

00:40:11,449 --> 00:40:14,119

I'm like, man, I have

20 bottles at my house.

:

00:40:14,119 --> 00:40:14,359

Like.

:

00:40:14,869 --> 00:40:15,469

We used to have

:

00:40:15,469 --> 00:40:17,239

Tyler: a shit ton in our old studio.

:

00:40:17,449 --> 00:40:17,929

Chris: Oh my gosh.

:

00:40:17,929 --> 00:40:18,049

Yeah.

:

00:40:18,049 --> 00:40:21,224

The old studio we had, I think

we had 60 bottles in space

:

00:40:21,229 --> 00:40:22,519

that I think we had over 60

:

00:40:22,519 --> 00:40:23,059

Tyler: bottles,

:

00:40:23,209 --> 00:40:24,229

Chris: which is ridiculous.

:

00:40:25,669 --> 00:40:25,909

Hmm.

:

00:40:29,599 --> 00:40:30,469

What is this Pat

:

00:40:30,679 --> 00:40:30,889

Tyler: say?

:

00:40:30,889 --> 00:40:31,579

This is good

:

00:40:33,139 --> 00:40:33,499

Chris: color.

:

00:40:33,499 --> 00:40:34,999

Tyler: If any regulators are watching.

:

00:40:34,999 --> 00:40:38,179

There is no whiskey in this

office during market hours.

:

00:40:39,289 --> 00:40:40,729

That was only the old studio

:

00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:43,219

Chris: during office hours.

:

00:40:44,839 --> 00:40:47,479

This is oddly enough, it

has an orange tone to it.

:

00:40:48,289 --> 00:40:48,829

Tyler: I was gonna say.

:

00:40:48,829 --> 00:40:50,719

Yeah, the color is different.

:

00:40:51,214 --> 00:40:51,434

It

:

00:40:52,759 --> 00:40:53,779

Chris: is very clear.

:

00:40:56,389 --> 00:40:57,919

Tyler: It finishes really smooth.

:

00:41:00,469 --> 00:41:02,749

Matt: This one's been sitting in my

sample bottle for a little while,

:

00:41:02,749 --> 00:41:06,799

so I don't think it's changed the

profile, but just as a disclaimer.

:

00:41:07,595 --> 00:41:07,954

Chris: Okay.

:

00:41:08,434 --> 00:41:10,504

He's like, he's been

prepped for a long time.

:

00:41:11,075 --> 00:41:11,914

He's been waiting for

:

00:41:12,910 --> 00:41:14,379

Matt: gonna call me for wine tasting.

:

00:41:15,079 --> 00:41:15,904

I'm gonna be ready.

:

00:41:18,724 --> 00:41:20,434

Tyler: So this is the third

time you've been on the podcast?

:

00:41:20,884 --> 00:41:21,544

Matt: Is it the third?

:

00:41:21,604 --> 00:41:21,934

Chris: Yeah.

:

00:41:21,994 --> 00:41:22,354

Tyler: Yeah.

:

00:41:22,444 --> 00:41:25,055

Because you were on by yourself and then

you were on with Abby and now this one,

:

00:41:25,174 --> 00:41:25,595

Matt: it's fun.

:

00:41:25,924 --> 00:41:28,924

Chris: The fact that you were on

with Abby when you opened ivus.

:

00:41:29,224 --> 00:41:29,314

Tyler: Mm-hmm.

:

00:41:29,555 --> 00:41:30,004

That's right.

:

00:41:30,095 --> 00:41:32,615

Chris: Is crazy to think that

that was what, two years ago?

:

00:41:32,674 --> 00:41:33,214

Matt: Year and a half?

:

00:41:33,454 --> 00:41:33,664

Chris: Yeah.

:

00:41:33,785 --> 00:41:34,264

Gosh,

:

00:41:35,194 --> 00:41:35,494

Tyler: that's wild.

:

00:41:35,494 --> 00:41:35,825

We opened

:

00:41:35,825 --> 00:41:36,934

Matt: a year and a half,

so I don't know when y'all,

:

00:41:37,174 --> 00:41:38,345

Chris: yeah, it was right before that.

:

00:41:38,349 --> 00:41:38,734

Right before you opened.

:

00:41:38,794 --> 00:41:38,944

Yeah.

:

00:41:39,694 --> 00:41:41,075

Tyler: Because it came

out when you opened.

:

00:41:41,075 --> 00:41:42,184

But we a year and half before.

:

00:41:42,754 --> 00:41:42,994

Chris: Yeah.

:

00:41:43,414 --> 00:41:45,634

Shout out to the Bird bars.

:

00:41:46,444 --> 00:41:49,954

The Starling and the IBUs

and Soda Pop District.

:

00:41:49,984 --> 00:41:51,814

And the Cargo District.

:

00:41:51,814 --> 00:41:52,234

District, yep.

:

00:41:52,354 --> 00:41:52,714

Yes.

:

00:41:53,374 --> 00:41:56,615

Very different vibes, but

still amazing beverages.

:

00:41:57,004 --> 00:41:57,964

All across the board.

:

00:41:58,174 --> 00:42:01,624

Tyler: Not only do I go there for

my liquor needs, but it's also

:

00:42:01,624 --> 00:42:03,515

my stop before church on Sundays.

:

00:42:03,964 --> 00:42:05,285

So I had to get my coffee for coffee.

:

00:42:05,285 --> 00:42:05,825

For coffee.

:

00:42:05,825 --> 00:42:06,154

Not his liquor

:

00:42:07,205 --> 00:42:08,075

Matt: before church.

:

00:42:08,075 --> 00:42:08,194

That's

:

00:42:08,794 --> 00:42:09,004

Chris: yes.

:

00:42:09,009 --> 00:42:09,200

Yeah.

:

00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:09,359

Tyler: Let's,

:

00:42:10,660 --> 00:42:10,879

Chris: yes.

:

00:42:10,879 --> 00:42:11,359

Kidding.

:

00:42:11,499 --> 00:42:11,839

No, no.

:

00:42:13,084 --> 00:42:14,435

So the IBUs is open.

:

00:42:14,435 --> 00:42:14,914

Shout out to Bridge

:

00:42:14,944 --> 00:42:15,095

Matt: Church.

:

00:42:15,095 --> 00:42:15,154

I'm

:

00:42:16,700 --> 00:42:17,644

Chris: the ivus is open.

:

00:42:17,644 --> 00:42:17,975

Traditional.

:

00:42:17,975 --> 00:42:18,064

Cool,

:

00:42:19,039 --> 00:42:19,294

Matt: cool, cool.

:

00:42:19,294 --> 00:42:19,834

Sorry, Ethan.

:

00:42:20,495 --> 00:42:21,214

Chris: Oh my gosh.

:

00:42:21,339 --> 00:42:23,524

It, it does coffee in the morning.

:

00:42:24,334 --> 00:42:26,044

This so whiskey at night.

:

00:42:26,435 --> 00:42:28,174

They do not do whiskey during the day,

:

00:42:28,475 --> 00:42:28,685

Matt: right?

:

00:42:28,685 --> 00:42:29,285

That's not true.

:

00:42:29,374 --> 00:42:29,584

Tyler: I was

:

00:42:29,584 --> 00:42:30,274

Chris: gonna say day.

:

00:42:30,430 --> 00:42:31,039

Typically

:

00:42:32,944 --> 00:42:33,399

Matt: we don't judge at all.

:

00:42:33,664 --> 00:42:36,754

If you come in it's 7:00 AM and

you'd like some whiskey coffee,

:

00:42:36,995 --> 00:42:38,225

you just can't take it to go.

:

00:42:38,225 --> 00:42:38,404

That's

:

00:42:38,674 --> 00:42:39,170

Chris: Oh, true, true.

:

00:42:39,170 --> 00:42:39,394

But not on

:

00:42:39,394 --> 00:42:39,544

Tyler: Sunday.

:

00:42:41,419 --> 00:42:42,575

Chris: Not on Sunday has to be after 10.

:

00:42:42,664 --> 00:42:43,325

Matt: Oh yeah.

:

00:42:43,325 --> 00:42:44,794

Not, not on Sunday.

:

00:42:45,874 --> 00:42:46,444

A, B, C.

:

00:42:46,475 --> 00:42:48,845

We would never, never, ever do such thing.

:

00:42:50,555 --> 00:42:51,334

What do y'all think this is?

:

00:42:51,995 --> 00:42:52,265

Okay.

:

00:42:52,265 --> 00:42:53,914

It smells a little better now

that it's been sitting out.

:

00:42:54,004 --> 00:42:54,664

Alright, so I'm

:

00:42:54,664 --> 00:42:55,234

Chris: gonna say.

:

00:42:55,789 --> 00:42:57,559

This is closer to your favorite.

:

00:42:57,979 --> 00:42:59,179

So I'm gonna go tenure,

:

00:43:01,609 --> 00:43:02,569

especially with the color

:

00:43:02,720 --> 00:43:03,949

Matt: closer to my favorite.

:

00:43:04,249 --> 00:43:05,059

That's a bold statement.

:

00:43:05,059 --> 00:43:05,629

What is that?

:

00:43:05,659 --> 00:43:06,439

Chris: You said 12.

:

00:43:07,095 --> 00:43:07,384

Matt: Okay.

:

00:43:07,384 --> 00:43:07,944

12 years.

:

00:43:07,949 --> 00:43:08,419

Okay.

:

00:43:08,424 --> 00:43:08,464

Okay.

:

00:43:09,949 --> 00:43:11,659

Chris: I don't actually know

what your favorite whiskey is.

:

00:43:11,659 --> 00:43:14,599

I feel like you've tried so

many, like it'd be very hard.

:

00:43:14,959 --> 00:43:15,109

Matt: Yeah.

:

00:43:15,229 --> 00:43:16,699

Chris: To be like, this is my favorite.

:

00:43:16,699 --> 00:43:17,479

Matt: I hate that question.

:

00:43:17,509 --> 00:43:18,499

'cause it depends on the week.

:

00:43:18,679 --> 00:43:19,129

Tyler: I know that's

:

00:43:19,224 --> 00:43:19,345

Chris: how

:

00:43:19,349 --> 00:43:19,729

Tyler: I am.

:

00:43:20,720 --> 00:43:22,249

Chris: That's why I typically ask what is.

:

00:43:22,519 --> 00:43:23,419

That's why I fuck with people.

:

00:43:23,419 --> 00:43:25,189

I'm like, what is your

second favorite whiskey?

:

00:43:25,220 --> 00:43:25,519

Matt: Mm.

:

00:43:26,209 --> 00:43:26,809

I like that.

:

00:43:27,229 --> 00:43:28,009

But your runner up.

:

00:43:28,220 --> 00:43:28,549

Chris: Yeah.

:

00:43:29,449 --> 00:43:29,720

Matt: People.

:

00:43:29,749 --> 00:43:31,459

It's easier to commit

to a runner up than a

:

00:43:31,699 --> 00:43:31,970

Chris: then

:

00:43:31,970 --> 00:43:32,539

Matt: you're number one.

:

00:43:32,539 --> 00:43:32,869

That's true.

:

00:43:32,874 --> 00:43:36,649

I don't wanna like put and say this is it.

:

00:43:37,699 --> 00:43:38,240

What do you think, Tyler?

:

00:43:38,240 --> 00:43:38,509

What are you,

:

00:43:38,749 --> 00:43:41,569

Tyler: for the sake of being different

than Chris, I wanna say eight.

:

00:43:42,229 --> 00:43:42,439

Matt: Okay.

:

00:43:44,629 --> 00:43:45,409

Chris: Proof wise.

:

00:43:45,409 --> 00:43:46,369

'cause I know you

:

00:43:47,779 --> 00:43:49,129

Matt: see you're basing too much on me.

:

00:43:49,129 --> 00:43:50,389

I'm just putting some stuff in here.

:

00:43:50,389 --> 00:43:50,629

Like,

:

00:43:50,929 --> 00:43:53,839

Tyler: I'm gonna say 90

it, it drinks so smooth.

:

00:43:54,964 --> 00:43:58,444

Chris: I know, but my brain still

wants to say it's like 1 0 7.

:

00:44:01,115 --> 00:44:05,225

Matt: Are we drinking a barrel or, or a

bourbon or I, or a millet, if you will.

:

00:44:06,665 --> 00:44:07,834

Chris: I'm gonna go with

the B I'm go with a bourbon.

:

00:44:09,569 --> 00:44:10,294

It's a whiskey.

:

00:44:11,569 --> 00:44:11,939

It's a

:

00:44:12,020 --> 00:44:12,379

Tyler: scotch.

:

00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:12,899

POD:

00:44:13,339 --> 00:44:14,220

Chris: T definitely.

Matt: scotch.

:

00:44:15,379 --> 00:44:16,419

Definitely not a scotch.

:

00:44:17,075 --> 00:44:19,865

Chris: I mean, it could be a,

it could be a Japanese whiskey.

:

00:44:20,645 --> 00:44:21,995

Tyler: No, 'cause they

would taste more scotchy.

:

00:44:22,145 --> 00:44:22,895

It's just getting crazy

:

00:44:22,895 --> 00:44:23,134

Chris: now.

:

00:44:23,374 --> 00:44:24,874

Okay, so, so we'll go.

:

00:44:24,874 --> 00:44:26,374

Matt: Well these days with as much as,

:

00:44:26,435 --> 00:44:26,705

Chris: yeah.

:

00:44:26,705 --> 00:44:26,944

See

:

00:44:26,944 --> 00:44:28,055

Matt: they bought all the distilleries.

:

00:44:28,055 --> 00:44:30,245

America, anything rich, Japanese whiskey.

:

00:44:30,334 --> 00:44:30,529

Sorry.

:

00:44:30,529 --> 00:44:35,435

Chris: So I'm, I'm gonna

say whiskey 1 0 7 8.

:

00:44:35,584 --> 00:44:35,884

Do you mean

:

00:44:35,884 --> 00:44:36,365

Tyler: bourbon?

:

00:44:36,964 --> 00:44:37,354

No, shit.

:

00:44:37,354 --> 00:44:37,834

It's a whiskey.

:

00:44:37,834 --> 00:44:38,044

Chris: I know.

:

00:44:38,044 --> 00:44:38,615

That's the point.

:

00:44:39,035 --> 00:44:39,754

It can't be wrong.

:

00:44:40,444 --> 00:44:41,165

So bourbon.

:

00:44:41,825 --> 00:44:42,004

Matt: Okay.

:

00:44:42,185 --> 00:44:45,484

Tyler: Let's say bourbon 98.

:

00:44:46,055 --> 00:44:46,265

Matt: Okay.

:

00:44:46,714 --> 00:44:47,314

Chris: What you got?

:

00:44:47,975 --> 00:44:49,024

Matt: So we've got a rye.

:

00:44:49,624 --> 00:44:50,584

Tyler: No way.

:

00:44:50,825 --> 00:44:51,004

Matt: Yeah.

:

00:44:51,004 --> 00:44:53,044

Chris: This is the smoothest Rye.

:

00:44:53,044 --> 00:44:54,305

Matt: It's a four plus year.

:

00:44:54,814 --> 00:44:55,234

Chris: Okay.

:

00:44:55,354 --> 00:44:57,874

Matt: It's at least four years,

so it's gonna be four-ish.

:

00:44:58,504 --> 00:44:58,595

Okay.

:

00:44:58,600 --> 00:44:59,569

So it's not as old as you think.

:

00:44:59,629 --> 00:44:59,930

I'm say

:

00:44:59,930 --> 00:45:00,305

Tyler: not as old.

:

00:45:00,305 --> 00:45:00,575

Yeah.

:

00:45:00,814 --> 00:45:01,924

Matt: No, it's one 12.

:

00:45:02,524 --> 00:45:03,154

Tyler: No way.

:

00:45:03,185 --> 00:45:04,234

What in the heck is this?

:

00:45:04,595 --> 00:45:06,575

Matt: This is the Mixter

Barrel strength rye.

:

00:45:07,144 --> 00:45:07,834

Chris: Really?

:

00:45:07,984 --> 00:45:08,285

Matt: Yeah.

:

00:45:08,374 --> 00:45:10,265

One of my favorite rice personally

:

00:45:12,365 --> 00:45:12,995

Chris: have to start.

:

00:45:13,294 --> 00:45:14,914

I was gonna say try Victors again.

:

00:45:15,185 --> 00:45:15,575

Matt: Yeah.

:

00:45:16,865 --> 00:45:17,975

Chris: I'll give them props.

:

00:45:17,975 --> 00:45:20,765

Like their stuff is amazing

:

00:45:20,854 --> 00:45:22,685

Matt: and this one's not

as not easy to come by.

:

00:45:22,834 --> 00:45:23,644

It's not like a I was

:

00:45:23,644 --> 00:45:24,664

Chris: gonna say, you can't just walk in.

:

00:45:24,694 --> 00:45:24,814

Matt: Yeah.

:

00:45:24,814 --> 00:45:27,814

Their barrel strength ride isn't,

you know, it hits the shelves like,

:

00:45:27,814 --> 00:45:29,374

I think, I think it's once a year.

:

00:45:29,374 --> 00:45:31,354

I'm pretty sure they have one

year, once a year release.

:

00:45:31,384 --> 00:45:31,685

Tyler: Right.

:

00:45:32,015 --> 00:45:34,565

Matt: And once it comes

out, everyone scoops it out.

:

00:45:34,565 --> 00:45:35,485

Grabs it 'cause it's, yeah.

:

00:45:36,535 --> 00:45:37,615

Tyler: Oh, you'd appreciate this.

:

00:45:37,615 --> 00:45:39,775

I don't know if it's sold

out yet or not, but the

:

00:45:39,825 --> 00:45:40,545

Chris: Mid winters

:

00:45:40,635 --> 00:45:44,025

Tyler: midwinter stream came out today,

so you could have ordered that online.

:

00:45:44,115 --> 00:45:45,165

Matt: Speaking of finished.

:

00:45:45,555 --> 00:45:45,915

Tyler: Yeah.

:

00:45:46,890 --> 00:45:47,220

Matt: Yeah.

:

00:45:47,580 --> 00:45:49,020

Chris: I've only had it once in my life.

:

00:45:49,260 --> 00:45:50,100

Matt: They're not what they used to be.

:

00:45:50,550 --> 00:45:50,730

The

:

00:45:50,730 --> 00:45:50,940

Tyler: No.

:

00:45:50,940 --> 00:45:51,960

Yeah, that is true.

:

00:45:52,470 --> 00:45:53,520

Matt: They've changed a little bit.

:

00:45:53,610 --> 00:45:53,820

Tyler: Mm-hmm.

:

00:45:54,180 --> 00:46:00,840

Matt: They used to be, back in the day,

that was a, that I would say that's the

:

00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:04,530

bourbon or rye that got my brother into

:

00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:05,940

Tyler: Oh yeah.

:

00:46:06,030 --> 00:46:06,390

Matt: Whiskey.

:

00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:08,160

He was a tequila guy.

:

00:46:08,220 --> 00:46:10,020

He tried mid winners

and he was like, okay.

:

00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:10,470

Chris: Yeah.

:

00:46:10,710 --> 00:46:10,980

Matt: Okay.

:

00:46:10,980 --> 00:46:12,000

There's some good stuff out here.

:

00:46:12,210 --> 00:46:12,630

Yeah.

:

00:46:13,170 --> 00:46:16,680

Chris: I think if I win the

lottery, I would totally be down

:

00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:22,200

with just finding a bottle from the

whole sick, like the whole series

:

00:46:22,470 --> 00:46:22,860

Matt: of

00:46:22,860 --> 00:46:23,130

Tyler: Yeah.

00:46:23,130 --> 00:46:23,580

Matt: Mid winner.

:

00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:23,910

Chris: Yeah.

:

00:46:24,210 --> 00:46:26,760

Tyler: Throwing on 13 right now,

so it wouldn't be too horrible.

:

00:46:27,390 --> 00:46:27,570

Chris: Yeah.

:

00:46:27,570 --> 00:46:29,940

But still going back 13 years.

00:46:29,940 --> 00:46:29,965

I've got,

:

00:46:31,865 --> 00:46:35,670

Matt: I got the one that was like a

limited from the distillery only thing.

00:46:35,820 --> 00:46:36,090

Chris: Mm-hmm.

00:46:36,330 --> 00:46:36,420

Tyler: Oh yeah.

00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:37,590

Tyler: Yeah.

00:46:37,650 --> 00:46:37,950

Chris: Yeah.

:

00:46:38,490 --> 00:46:39,090

I saw it.

:

00:46:39,300 --> 00:46:40,800

Didn't try it yet.

:

00:46:40,860 --> 00:46:42,000

Matt: Maybe we need to crack it open.

:

00:46:43,470 --> 00:46:43,830

Tyler: I wanna say

:

00:46:43,830 --> 00:46:44,070

Matt: that though.

Tyler: hi

00:46:44,700 --> 00:46:45,990

Matt: West is, we wanna

make this a regular thing.

00:46:47,490 --> 00:46:49,860

I got bottles for days, but you

could bring and start cracking them

:

00:46:50,235 --> 00:46:50,865

Tyler: every other month.

:

00:46:50,865 --> 00:46:51,905

We'll just have Matt on it.

:

00:46:51,905 --> 00:46:53,670

Talking about favorites

and favorites and stuff.

:

00:46:54,150 --> 00:46:57,600

When it comes to distilleries, high

West is my favorite distillery.

:

00:46:57,600 --> 00:46:58,230

Hands down.

:

00:46:58,290 --> 00:46:58,770

Matt: Really?

:

00:46:58,860 --> 00:46:59,040

Yeah.

00:46:59,040 --> 00:46:59,640

Your favorite?

00:47:00,780 --> 00:47:01,860

Matt: So you're not even in Kentucky?

:

00:47:02,490 --> 00:47:02,970

Tyler: No.

:

00:47:03,030 --> 00:47:03,360

Chris: No.

:

00:47:03,420 --> 00:47:03,840

Matt: Wow.

00:47:03,870 --> 00:47:04,230

Tyler: Yeah.

:

00:47:04,235 --> 00:47:07,620

Just what they, what they, what

they come out with across the board.

:

00:47:07,770 --> 00:47:07,860

Matt: Mm-hmm.

:

00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:09,030

Tyler: Is my favorite.

:

00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:09,750

Chris: I mean,

00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:12,540

Tyler: they, they have

my pallet down path.

:

00:47:13,050 --> 00:47:15,330

Chris: Well, the problem is like,

he could just be like, well, I,

:

00:47:15,390 --> 00:47:17,010

my favorite is Buffalo Trace.

:

00:47:17,010 --> 00:47:17,910

And then just have,

:

00:47:19,020 --> 00:47:20,460

Matt: right, that's all 20

:

00:47:20,460 --> 00:47:20,640

Chris: something.

:

00:47:22,890 --> 00:47:23,700

Matt: So Fireball.

:

00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:24,420

Tyler: Right.

:

00:47:27,690 --> 00:47:29,250

Matt: That's how Buffalo

trades pays the bills.

:

00:47:29,430 --> 00:47:29,700

Right.

:

00:47:29,790 --> 00:47:30,300

Gosh.

:

00:47:31,325 --> 00:47:32,220

And that's not a joke.

:

00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:33,750

That's literally how they pay the bills.

:

00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:34,530

Tyler: I was out with

:

00:47:34,530 --> 00:47:34,825

Matt: the group both.

:

00:47:34,865 --> 00:47:35,700

I asked the tour guy last one.

:

00:47:35,700 --> 00:47:36,060

I was there.

:

00:47:36,090 --> 00:47:37,620

I was like I said, be honest with me.

:

00:47:38,325 --> 00:47:39,375

Which Fireball do y'all do?

:

00:47:39,375 --> 00:47:40,995

He said a lot.

:

00:47:41,055 --> 00:47:42,915

He said, everything you see

around here is paid by Fireball.

:

00:47:45,315 --> 00:47:46,455

Thank you for that honesty.

:

00:47:46,815 --> 00:47:50,285

Tyler: I'm gonna send this to the

person I was out with on what, Thursday?

:

00:47:50,405 --> 00:47:50,915

Chris: Thursday night?

:

00:47:50,915 --> 00:47:51,125

Yeah.

:

00:47:51,455 --> 00:47:54,245

Tyler: So they bought, there was

a lot of us, so don't judge us.

:

00:47:54,395 --> 00:47:56,315

But they bought 25 shots of Fireball.

:

00:47:57,245 --> 00:47:57,545

Yeah.

:

00:47:57,635 --> 00:47:58,355

Chris: On purpose.

:

00:47:58,355 --> 00:47:59,015

Tyler: On purpose.

:

00:47:59,075 --> 00:47:59,555

Matt: Well,

:

00:48:03,455 --> 00:48:04,235

guys holding up, okay.

:

00:48:04,240 --> 00:48:05,405

Are we, are y'all drinking too much?

:

00:48:05,405 --> 00:48:05,825

Are we good?

:

00:48:05,915 --> 00:48:08,105

Chris: I'm hurting thinking

about that 25 times.

:

00:48:08,105 --> 00:48:09,065

You're prepared for this?

:

00:48:09,095 --> 00:48:09,395

Matt: Okay.

:

00:48:09,395 --> 00:48:09,545

Chris: Yeah.

:

00:48:10,325 --> 00:48:10,535

Yes.

00:48:10,565 --> 00:48:12,345

Matt: I mean, Tyler has open

bourbon in his car, so we're

00:48:14,135 --> 00:48:14,555

Tyler: open bourbon.

00:48:14,555 --> 00:48:15,545

My car am my office.

:

00:48:15,545 --> 00:48:17,285

I just come, come, come find me.

:

00:48:18,815 --> 00:48:20,765

Matt: Oh, I'm just giving

you things to edit,

:

00:48:21,125 --> 00:48:21,245

Tyler: right?

:

00:48:23,135 --> 00:48:24,155

We don't edit this podcast

:

00:48:26,975 --> 00:48:27,875

Chris: in case we do.

:

00:48:27,935 --> 00:48:31,835

This is also why we updated the

setup, so you can't see the time.

:

00:48:33,065 --> 00:48:37,145

The stamps on here and you're not

like, why did that jump seven minutes?

:

00:48:37,205 --> 00:48:38,675

Tyler: That's why he

covered it for the blinds.

:

00:48:42,395 --> 00:48:44,375

Chris: Did you write all these

down so you knew what they were?

:

00:48:45,105 --> 00:48:48,134

Matt: Most of 'em I remember,

but yeah, I had to go back

:

00:48:48,134 --> 00:48:48,895

and look at a couple of 'em.

:

00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:54,315

Chris: See, we need to do his

blind at the beginning of it.

:

00:48:54,555 --> 00:48:58,904

Matt: So this one week, I will

tell you, is coming from, I

:

00:48:58,904 --> 00:49:01,365

dare say my favorite distillery.

:

00:49:02,745 --> 00:49:03,555

Chris: So you've been there?

:

00:49:04,154 --> 00:49:04,605

Matt: Oh yeah.

00:49:06,194 --> 00:49:06,404

Sorry.

:

00:49:06,404 --> 00:49:08,955

That sounded really Oh, yeah, yeah.

:

00:49:09,254 --> 00:49:10,154

Chris: Well, I asked that.

:

00:49:10,274 --> 00:49:14,625

Like I said, he's, you've been

to a quite a few barrel picks.

:

00:49:15,194 --> 00:49:15,734

Matt: Yes.

:

00:49:15,825 --> 00:49:16,845

Chris: So that's why I'm like,

:

00:49:16,995 --> 00:49:17,415

Matt: Hmm.

:

00:49:18,404 --> 00:49:18,585

Yeah.

:

00:49:18,855 --> 00:49:22,575

Chris: People keep telling me I need

to do, we need to do a bourbon trail.

:

00:49:22,575 --> 00:49:24,134

Matt: Yeah, definitely

need to do one of those.

:

00:49:24,134 --> 00:49:26,140

That'd be, y'all need to

pick your own next year.

:

00:49:26,625 --> 00:49:27,045

Chris: I can't.

:

00:49:27,045 --> 00:49:28,125

Next year I'm going to.

:

00:49:29,220 --> 00:49:32,100

I need, if I do a, a barrel

pick, I'm gonna need to recover.

:

00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:33,420

Matt: Well, you guys need to do it.

:

00:49:33,450 --> 00:49:37,530

What y'all need to do is partner with

some bars in town and do your own

:

00:49:37,530 --> 00:49:39,810

barrel pick named Whiskey and Wisdom.

:

00:49:40,830 --> 00:49:41,010

Tyler: Yeah, that's

:

00:49:41,010 --> 00:49:42,120

Matt: the bottle is named that.

:

00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:43,120

And then just split it bars.

:

00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:43,865

I know someone who owns

:

00:49:43,865 --> 00:49:44,305

Tyler: a couple bars.

:

00:49:46,285 --> 00:49:46,625

Chris: We know

:

00:49:47,025 --> 00:49:47,545

Matt: multiple, you need to,

:

00:49:49,005 --> 00:49:51,210

Chris: we know multiple

people who own multiple bars,

:

00:49:51,210 --> 00:49:53,370

Matt: but a lot of these guys, when

we do a barrel pickets, we partner

:

00:49:53,370 --> 00:49:54,810

with multiple bars around town.

:

00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:55,110

Right.

:

00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:59,190

So it's like you just kind of get

whatever barrels, whatever bottles you can

:

00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:00,030

Chris: get,

:

00:50:00,150 --> 00:50:02,400

Matt: you know, that you want

to get, how many cases you want?

:

00:50:03,660 --> 00:50:04,050

Tyler: Was it downtown

:

00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:04,770

Chris: Brown?

:

00:50:05,070 --> 00:50:05,790

Tyler: Mm-hmm.

:

00:50:05,945 --> 00:50:06,510

I have

:

00:50:06,590 --> 00:50:07,010

Chris: The first

:

00:50:07,010 --> 00:50:11,270

Tyler: one, a conversation

going on with a certain entity

:

00:50:11,270 --> 00:50:12,860

in town to help us with that.

:

00:50:13,190 --> 00:50:13,580

Matt: Oh,

:

00:50:13,700 --> 00:50:15,290

Tyler: so that

:

00:50:15,290 --> 00:50:15,590

Matt: entity,

:

00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:19,370

huh?

:

00:50:20,300 --> 00:50:20,990

Oh, okay.

:

00:50:21,050 --> 00:50:21,320

Chris: Yeah.

:

00:50:21,860 --> 00:50:22,850

Matt: The entity.

:

00:50:23,135 --> 00:50:24,915

Tyler: The entity, the Okay.

:

00:50:24,915 --> 00:50:25,235

The entity.

:

00:50:25,240 --> 00:50:25,490

Chris: So we,

:

00:50:25,490 --> 00:50:25,670

Tyler: we

:

00:50:25,670 --> 00:50:25,910

Chris: can

:

00:50:26,240 --> 00:50:27,440

Tyler: skip a few steps.

:

00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:29,000

Chris: Jump, jump, jump.

:

00:50:29,210 --> 00:50:30,980

So smelling wise,

:

00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:31,160

Matt: mm-hmm.

:

00:50:32,450 --> 00:50:36,920

Chris: I'm gonna tell everybody next

time we do a blind taste with you.

:

00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:38,600

It needs to be at the

beginning of the day.

:

00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:42,530

So my palette isn't just like,

yeah, starting to run off.

:

00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:46,730

Tyler: But also it's better to be

at the end of the day so we can

:

00:50:46,730 --> 00:50:48,440

have actual conversations leading up

:

00:50:49,460 --> 00:50:49,820

Matt: to this.

:

00:50:49,820 --> 00:50:54,260

So this nose on this one, I won't use

this word often, but it's fluffy to me.

:

00:50:54,710 --> 00:50:55,190

Chris: Yes.

:

00:50:56,720 --> 00:50:58,430

Matt: It's like soft.

:

00:50:59,060 --> 00:50:59,510

Tyler: Okay.

:

00:50:59,630 --> 00:50:59,930

Chris: Yes.

:

00:50:59,930 --> 00:51:00,230

Tyler: Yeah.

:

00:51:00,230 --> 00:51:00,860

Matt: You know what I mean?

:

00:51:00,860 --> 00:51:01,100

Tyler: Yeah.

:

00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:02,870

I couldn't, I couldn't correlate to

:

00:51:02,870 --> 00:51:03,755

Matt: fluffy, but soft,

fluffy, I get it, I get it.

:

00:51:04,130 --> 00:51:04,460

It's fine.

:

00:51:04,910 --> 00:51:07,760

I don't, you know, I don't use that

word in many circles, but after a few

:

00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:09,140

drinks, I'm call it a fluffy berry

:

00:51:09,140 --> 00:51:09,740

Chris: popcorn.

:

00:51:10,370 --> 00:51:11,540

Like you see it and it,

:

00:51:11,630 --> 00:51:11,930

Matt: yeah,

:

00:51:11,990 --> 00:51:12,470

Chris: it's,

:

00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:14,120

Matt: yeah.

:

00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:17,685

Chris: Fluffy looking is, it

doesn't, we'll fluffy, but.

:

00:51:18,590 --> 00:51:19,670

I didn't wanna say cotton.

:

00:51:20,030 --> 00:51:22,220

So popcorn makes sense.

:

00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:25,190

It does.

:

00:51:25,190 --> 00:51:25,700

Corn.

:

00:51:25,910 --> 00:51:27,800

We accidentally made popcorn last night.

:

00:51:28,070 --> 00:51:28,940

Matt: Accidentally made one.

:

00:51:29,150 --> 00:51:32,960

Chris: Yeah, we were cooking

up corn for our salads.

:

00:51:33,530 --> 00:51:34,220

Tyler: Start popping.

:

00:51:34,220 --> 00:51:34,580

Chris: Mm-hmm.

:

00:51:35,270 --> 00:51:36,230

We didn't move it enough.

:

00:51:38,150 --> 00:51:39,500

Did you not know that's how that happens?

:

00:51:39,530 --> 00:51:40,130

Tyler: I do know.

:

00:51:40,130 --> 00:51:41,300

That's how I thought that was funny.

:

00:51:41,810 --> 00:51:43,160

But I am going to agree with you.

:

00:51:43,190 --> 00:51:43,280

Mm-hmm.

:

00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:45,710

Like after a day of drinking

whiskey, it is getting harder.

:

00:51:47,510 --> 00:51:48,290

Matt: I believe in you guys.

:

00:51:51,530 --> 00:51:53,290

Tyler: What was the a BV of the last one?

:

00:51:54,010 --> 00:51:54,760

Matt: The last one?

:

00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:54,940

Yeah.

:

00:51:54,970 --> 00:51:56,290

Chris: One 10.

:

00:51:57,250 --> 00:51:58,570

Matt: I already forget what the last

:

00:51:58,900 --> 00:51:59,020

Chris: one.

:

00:51:59,020 --> 00:52:00,580

I think it's a random ass number.

:

00:52:00,580 --> 00:52:02,170

It was either one 10 or 1 0 7.

:

00:52:02,860 --> 00:52:04,300

Tyler: I think it might

be higher than that.

:

00:52:05,230 --> 00:52:05,350

Matt: No,

:

00:52:05,350 --> 00:52:05,920

Chris: it was,

:

00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:06,250

Matt: what was the

:

00:52:06,250 --> 00:52:06,640

Chris: last, nah,

:

00:52:08,740 --> 00:52:09,670

Matt: last one was one 12.

:

00:52:10,030 --> 00:52:10,270

Chris: Yeah.

:

00:52:11,500 --> 00:52:13,450

So this, I'm saying this is 97.

:

00:52:14,335 --> 00:52:15,025

Tyler: I wanna go that low.

:

00:52:15,025 --> 00:52:16,315

I'd say it's over a hundred at least.

:

00:52:16,315 --> 00:52:17,125

I'll say 1 0 5.

:

00:52:18,235 --> 00:52:20,365

Chris: Is there anybody

out there with a 97 proof?

:

00:52:20,365 --> 00:52:21,595

I always picked this random mess number.

:

00:52:21,595 --> 00:52:21,655

I'm

:

00:52:21,655 --> 00:52:21,745

Matt: sure.

:

00:52:21,745 --> 00:52:21,805

Yeah.

:

00:52:21,805 --> 00:52:22,045

There

:

00:52:22,105 --> 00:52:22,315

POD:

:

00:52:22,315 --> 00:52:23,095

Tyler: has to be someone.

:

00:52:23,095 --> 00:52:24,865

Yeah, there's a shit ton

of whiskeys out there.

:

00:52:26,845 --> 00:52:28,045

Chris: How did they get lower proof?

:

00:52:28,045 --> 00:52:28,225

Do they,

:

00:52:28,225 --> 00:52:29,305

Matt: so you're at what proof?

:

00:52:29,815 --> 00:52:30,445

Chris: 97.

:

00:52:30,805 --> 00:52:31,405

Matt: And you're at

:

00:52:31,525 --> 00:52:32,350

Tyler: I'll go with 1 0 5.

:

00:52:32,350 --> 00:52:35,425

Matt: 1 0 5 bourbon rye.

:

00:52:37,615 --> 00:52:38,425

Chris: Go with bourbon.

:

00:52:38,755 --> 00:52:38,785

Matt: Melet.

:

00:52:39,775 --> 00:52:40,825

Chris: I know it's not millet.

:

00:52:43,045 --> 00:52:44,305

Matt: We professional or pros on say,

:

00:52:44,305 --> 00:52:44,665

Chris: I'll

:

00:52:44,665 --> 00:52:46,045

Tyler: never guess another

millet again, right?

:

00:52:46,855 --> 00:52:47,065

Chris: No.

:

00:52:47,065 --> 00:52:47,665

Next time.

:

00:52:47,695 --> 00:52:48,865

Definitely guess a millet.

:

00:52:48,865 --> 00:52:49,525

Matt: You said bourbon?

:

00:52:49,615 --> 00:52:50,005

Chris: Yes.

:

00:52:50,365 --> 00:52:52,255

Tyler: I, I wanna say rye,

just to be contrarian.

:

00:52:52,255 --> 00:52:52,855

Matt: Just really?

:

00:52:52,855 --> 00:52:52,945

Chris: Yeah.

:

00:52:52,945 --> 00:52:55,135

Well, the last one was a

rye and we got it wrong.

:

00:52:55,645 --> 00:52:56,035

So,

:

00:52:57,115 --> 00:53:00,355

Matt: I mean, I, I didn't, I didn't get

forethought into these, so it's not like

:

00:53:00,355 --> 00:53:01,765

I was trying to make it a certain one.

:

00:53:01,765 --> 00:53:02,365

I'm gonna go,

:

00:53:02,365 --> 00:53:05,815

Chris: I'm gonna go eight year in color.

:

00:53:05,815 --> 00:53:08,845

It is still very clear.

:

00:53:09,085 --> 00:53:09,445

Matt: Mm-hmm.

:

00:53:11,850 --> 00:53:13,530

Chris: High yellow on the edges.

:

00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:15,420

Brown in the middle.

:

00:53:17,430 --> 00:53:19,770

Tyler: I'm gonna go six years and

I'm not even gonna guess the color.

:

00:53:20,430 --> 00:53:20,670

Chris: Yeah.

:

00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:23,160

High yellow.

:

00:53:23,370 --> 00:53:23,790

I'm just

:

00:53:25,020 --> 00:53:25,470

Matt: All right.

:

00:53:25,650 --> 00:53:26,130

Bourbon.

:

00:53:26,370 --> 00:53:26,730

Chris: Okay.

:

00:53:27,720 --> 00:53:28,350

Matt: 10 years.

:

00:53:28,860 --> 00:53:29,250

Chris: Ooh.

:

00:53:31,020 --> 00:53:32,762

Matt: And 1 0 1.

:

00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:34,680

Chris: Okay.

:

00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:35,130

POD:

:

00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:38,400

Chris: 1 0 1 is like a good proof.

:

00:53:38,460 --> 00:53:40,050

Tyler: That was literally

right in between both of

:

00:53:40,050 --> 00:53:40,200

Chris: us.

:

00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:40,560

Yes.

:

00:53:40,860 --> 00:53:44,460

Matt: This is the Wild

Turkey Masters Keep one.

:

00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:47,580

It's called one.

:

00:53:48,060 --> 00:53:48,480

Chris: Yeah.

:

00:53:48,720 --> 00:53:49,950

Matt: Every year they come out with

:

00:53:50,250 --> 00:53:50,700

Chris: masters.

:

00:53:50,700 --> 00:53:50,970

Keep

:

00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:52,560

Matt: a masters keep for the year.

:

00:53:53,580 --> 00:53:58,440

This is a blend of nine

year, 10 year, and 14 year.

:

00:53:58,470 --> 00:53:58,500

Okay.

:

00:53:58,710 --> 00:53:59,880

I said 10 to be median.

:

00:53:59,910 --> 00:54:00,060

Chris: Yeah.

:

00:54:00,060 --> 00:54:00,270

Tyler: Right.

:

00:54:00,270 --> 00:54:00,540

Yeah.

:

00:54:00,990 --> 00:54:03,145

Matt: Legally they can only say nine

'cause they can only say it by the lowest.

:

00:54:03,510 --> 00:54:03,630

The, the

:

00:54:03,630 --> 00:54:04,080

Chris: lowest one.

:

00:54:04,710 --> 00:54:04,860

I

:

00:54:04,860 --> 00:54:06,420

Matt: will say, I said 10 to

be fair because I was like,

:

00:54:06,420 --> 00:54:07,020

eh, you should get released.

:

00:54:07,020 --> 00:54:07,140

10.

:

00:54:07,230 --> 00:54:07,470

Tyler: This

:

00:54:07,470 --> 00:54:07,600

Chris: is the.

:

00:54:08,130 --> 00:54:10,170

Tyler: This is my favorite

Wild Turkey by far then.

:

00:54:10,175 --> 00:54:10,265

Yeah,

:

00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:10,650

Matt: yeah,

:

00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:11,070

Tyler: yeah.

:

00:54:11,220 --> 00:54:11,970

This is even Wild

:

00:54:11,970 --> 00:54:12,510

Matt: Turkey fan.

:

00:54:13,140 --> 00:54:13,320

Chris: I

:

00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:13,330

Tyler: know.

:

00:54:13,330 --> 00:54:15,150

Like the 1 0 1 I like a lot too.

:

00:54:15,720 --> 00:54:17,850

But this beats beats

the pants off of that.

:

00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:18,690

Matt: Yeah.

:

00:54:18,690 --> 00:54:18,700

Yeah.

:

00:54:19,380 --> 00:54:20,480

Well this is way older than a 1 0

:

00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:20,610

POD:

:

00:54:20,610 --> 00:54:21,150

Chris: That's true.

:

00:54:21,575 --> 00:54:25,560

Well, so I remember it was a

couple years ago we did a Chris

:

00:54:25,610 --> 00:54:27,920

Valentine's at the Starling.

:

00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:32,540

They did a like Valentine's dinner

and I got to try like a wild

:

00:54:32,540 --> 00:54:36,030

Turkey 'cause they had like a

masterpiece or is that Maker's Mark?

:

00:54:38,430 --> 00:54:41,730

Yeah, like a special like

small bottle and I was like,

:

00:54:41,820 --> 00:54:43,590

Tyler: that sounds like

a Maker's Mark thing.

:

00:54:43,650 --> 00:54:44,400

If there is.

:

00:54:44,430 --> 00:54:44,670

Chris: Yeah.

:

00:54:45,090 --> 00:54:45,960

It could be both

:

00:54:47,100 --> 00:54:48,960

' Tyler: cause major spark, just a

bunch of weird stuff like that.

:

00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:48,990

I

:

00:54:48,990 --> 00:54:50,250

Matt: don't even know what you're saying.

:

00:54:51,270 --> 00:54:51,485

Tyler: I dunno.

:

00:54:51,490 --> 00:54:52,680

Even the words that you're saying,

:

00:54:52,890 --> 00:54:55,980

Chris: you had a bottle that taste

and I was like, this is wild Turkey.

:

00:54:58,110 --> 00:54:59,010

I was on the fence.

:

00:54:59,370 --> 00:54:59,790

Matt: Okay.

:

00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:00,870

Yeah.

:

00:55:00,870 --> 00:55:02,880

Wild Turkey has such a.

:

00:55:04,590 --> 00:55:06,450

Like a, a bad rap.

:

00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:08,160

'cause I think people

spend their college days

:

00:55:08,820 --> 00:55:09,390

Chris: Oh yeah.

:

00:55:09,390 --> 00:55:10,830

Matt: With Wild Turkey.

:

00:55:10,830 --> 00:55:15,420

But I think it's the, there's

a certain, like that funk you

:

00:55:15,420 --> 00:55:15,990

get, you know what I mean?

:

00:55:15,990 --> 00:55:20,940

When you taste Wild Turkey to me,

which kind of, for me and other

:

00:55:20,940 --> 00:55:23,310

people say this too, but it tastes

like grandpa's basement, you know?

:

00:55:25,110 --> 00:55:25,980

Tyler: You know what though?

:

00:55:26,190 --> 00:55:27,870

Wild Turkey in a Manhattan.

:

00:55:28,470 --> 00:55:28,710

Pretty

:

00:55:28,710 --> 00:55:29,310

Matt: freaking good.

:

00:55:29,460 --> 00:55:29,850

Oh yeah.

:

00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:30,300

Tyler: Yeah.

:

00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:32,640

Matt: We did a Russell's pick.

:

00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:34,110

Russell's Reserve is Wild Turkey.

:

00:55:34,650 --> 00:55:34,830

Tyler: Mm-hmm.

:

00:55:35,070 --> 00:55:35,370

Chris: Yeah.

:

00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:37,290

Matt: Jimmy Russell is right.

:

00:55:37,710 --> 00:55:38,010

Yeah.

:

00:55:38,250 --> 00:55:38,730

Wild Turkey guy.

:

00:55:38,730 --> 00:55:42,300

So we did a Russell's pick for Starling.

:

00:55:42,630 --> 00:55:43,020

Chris: Mm-hmm.

:

00:55:43,275 --> 00:55:48,075

Matt: And we were fortunate 'cause of some

relationships we had to have Bruce Russell

:

00:55:48,075 --> 00:55:49,635

himself come and do the pick with us.

:

00:55:49,755 --> 00:55:50,385

Tyler: No, what?

:

00:55:50,385 --> 00:55:51,315

Matt: Which is Jimmy's grandson?

:

00:55:51,375 --> 00:55:51,795

Chris: Yeah.

:

00:55:51,795 --> 00:55:51,805

Yeah.

:

00:55:52,005 --> 00:55:52,155

The

:

00:55:52,155 --> 00:55:52,575

Matt: vitamin

:

00:55:52,575 --> 00:55:52,905

Chris: C?

:

00:55:53,385 --> 00:55:54,675

Matt: No, that's Old Forester.

:

00:55:55,485 --> 00:55:55,905

Chris: Oh, that's the one.

:

00:55:56,055 --> 00:55:56,085

Matt: Okay.

:

00:55:56,145 --> 00:55:56,475

Yeah.

:

00:55:56,505 --> 00:55:57,765

Chris: You had different

names on everyone.

:

00:55:57,765 --> 00:55:58,095

I'm trying to

:

00:55:58,095 --> 00:55:58,305

Matt: remember.

:

00:55:58,305 --> 00:56:00,845

Yeah, this one was we caught it Ladybug.

:

00:56:01,295 --> 00:56:02,285

Chris: Yes.

:

00:56:02,315 --> 00:56:02,795

Yes.

:

00:56:02,855 --> 00:56:03,215

Okay.

:

00:56:03,455 --> 00:56:05,885

Matt: It's honestly like if you

get a chance, if we, I don't know

:

00:56:05,885 --> 00:56:06,875

if we still have any bottles left.

:

00:56:06,875 --> 00:56:07,775

I think we're outta Starling.

:

00:56:07,835 --> 00:56:09,335

IBUs may have a bottle or two, but

:

00:56:09,485 --> 00:56:09,635

Chris: yeah,

:

00:56:09,695 --> 00:56:13,145

Matt: it's one of the best

bourbons I've ever like picked.

:

00:56:14,495 --> 00:56:19,655

So Bruce takes us down to the oldest

Rick house at Wild Turkey, you know, just

:

00:56:19,655 --> 00:56:22,535

we're down the bottom, dusty as hell.

:

00:56:22,745 --> 00:56:23,045

Tyler: Yeah.

:

00:56:23,255 --> 00:56:25,865

Matt: You know, like dingy, just amazing.

:

00:56:25,955 --> 00:56:30,845

And like, sets out five barrels that

he had already picked out and just goes

:

00:56:30,845 --> 00:56:34,205

through and thieves each barrel, you know,

we get a taste right from the barrel.

:

00:56:35,075 --> 00:56:36,485

And progressively was getting better.

:

00:56:36,485 --> 00:56:37,325

And by the fifth.

:

00:56:37,895 --> 00:56:39,425

Barrel by the time we

gotta the fifth barrel.

:

00:56:39,425 --> 00:56:42,125

I was like, I was, we were with

several other guys from different bars.

:

00:56:42,185 --> 00:56:42,545

Tyler: Right.

:

00:56:42,695 --> 00:56:45,485

Matt: I was like, guys,

this, this is absolutely it.

:

00:56:45,605 --> 00:56:48,695

Like I don't know what's in

that barrel, but it's fantastic.

:

00:56:49,715 --> 00:56:52,765

And it's a nine and a half year

pick we got from Brussels, but man,

:

00:56:52,795 --> 00:56:52,855

Tyler: if

:

00:56:52,855 --> 00:56:53,095

Matt: you get a

:

00:56:53,095 --> 00:56:53,815

Tyler: chance, taste it.

:

00:56:54,745 --> 00:56:58,105

So do you notice when you go

there to try it outta the barrel

:

00:56:58,165 --> 00:56:59,755

versus when it's actually bottled?

:

00:56:59,905 --> 00:57:01,225

Do you ever taste the difference?

:

00:57:01,975 --> 00:57:03,775

Matt: I mean, there's gonna be a

difference because they're gonna

:

00:57:04,435 --> 00:57:04,915

Tyler: That's true.

:

00:57:04,975 --> 00:57:05,065

Matt: Yeah.

:

00:57:05,065 --> 00:57:09,500

They're gonna put a little water in it,

but it still has the character to it.

:

00:57:09,500 --> 00:57:09,830

Tyler: Yeah.

:

00:57:10,110 --> 00:57:12,270

Matt: They don't put a ton of water in

it because it's still pretty high proof.

:

00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:12,720

Tyler: Right.

:

00:57:12,750 --> 00:57:12,870

Yeah.

:

00:57:13,140 --> 00:57:14,640

Matt: But they prove it

down to a certain level.

:

00:57:15,240 --> 00:57:20,870

But and the experience along, you know,

the mental side of it, like you were

:

00:57:20,870 --> 00:57:22,790

saying earlier, like just being there

:

00:57:22,850 --> 00:57:23,000

Tyler: mm-hmm.

:

00:57:23,630 --> 00:57:24,830

Matt: Makes it taste way better.

:

00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:25,100

Tyler: Yeah.

:

00:57:25,580 --> 00:57:25,940

I get

:

00:57:25,940 --> 00:57:26,060

Matt: that.

:

00:57:26,060 --> 00:57:26,510

You know what I mean?

:

00:57:26,510 --> 00:57:30,680

I down, you're in the Rick house

with Bruce Russell himself,

:

00:57:31,250 --> 00:57:31,520

Tyler: right.

:

00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:33,050

Matt: And you're sipping

this and we got done.

:

00:57:33,050 --> 00:57:34,760

He's like, Hey guys, I've

got this other barrel.

:

00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:36,650

But I'll never bottle.

:

00:57:36,650 --> 00:57:38,090

It's just my personal favorite.

:

00:57:38,660 --> 00:57:39,530

Do y'all wanna try it?

:

00:57:39,530 --> 00:57:40,790

I'm like, now we're good.

:

00:57:40,790 --> 00:57:41,420

We're short on time.

:

00:57:41,420 --> 00:57:42,350

Why would you say no to that?

:

00:57:42,470 --> 00:57:43,090

Like, absolutely.

:

00:57:43,950 --> 00:57:44,530

Chris: You're like,

:

00:57:45,035 --> 00:57:45,305

Yeah.

:

00:57:45,485 --> 00:57:45,845

Matt: Yeah.

:

00:57:45,845 --> 00:57:48,725

So we tasted that and I was

like, man, like the experience

:

00:57:48,725 --> 00:57:50,615

itself is just incredible.

:

00:57:50,615 --> 00:57:50,795

So

:

00:57:50,795 --> 00:57:53,795

Chris: I'm curious on like

personal bottles or personal

:

00:57:53,795 --> 00:57:55,595

barrels from year to year.

:

00:57:55,595 --> 00:57:56,435

Does it change?

:

00:57:56,885 --> 00:57:59,105

Like, I would love to, like,

:

00:57:59,195 --> 00:57:59,765

Matt: oh yeah, I'm sure

:

00:57:59,795 --> 00:58:02,315

Chris: obviously you can't in

North Carolina, but if I had a

:

00:58:02,315 --> 00:58:04,415

barrel to be like, this is mine.

:

00:58:04,415 --> 00:58:05,405

And every year,

:

00:58:05,765 --> 00:58:06,095

Matt: yeah.

:

00:58:06,755 --> 00:58:07,140

Chris: This is good.

:

00:58:07,925 --> 00:58:09,785

Matt: So funny you say that.

:

00:58:10,475 --> 00:58:11,525

I don't know if I can talk about this.

:

00:58:11,525 --> 00:58:16,925

I probably can, but my brother just,

he, he deals with a bourbon broker.

:

00:58:17,045 --> 00:58:17,135

Chris: Mm-hmm.

:

00:58:17,705 --> 00:58:20,375

Matt: That, 'cause he lives up

in Boone, he's got some property

:

00:58:20,375 --> 00:58:22,745

and he's been wanting to age

his own barrels on his property.

:

00:58:22,835 --> 00:58:23,375

Tyler: Oh, that's neat.

:

00:58:24,065 --> 00:58:25,955

Matt: So he is obtained a few barrels.

:

00:58:26,705 --> 00:58:31,355

His broker called him this past

week and said, Hey, I have.

:

00:58:32,030 --> 00:58:36,980

I got my hands on 13 plus

barrels of Wild Turkey.

:

00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:37,880

Chris: Oh wow.

:

00:58:38,180 --> 00:58:39,800

Matt: Which never really Yeah.

:

00:58:40,190 --> 00:58:41,090

That to private

:

00:58:41,090 --> 00:58:41,360

Chris: Yeah.

:

00:58:41,630 --> 00:58:42,170

Matt: People.

:

00:58:43,130 --> 00:58:46,330

And got a crazy deal

on it for each barrel.

:

00:58:46,330 --> 00:58:47,830

My brother's like, yeah,

I'll take all of 'em.

:

00:58:49,330 --> 00:58:51,180

And he called me out and said, bro,

you're never gonna believe this.

:

00:58:51,180 --> 00:58:52,950

I just got 13 wild Turkey barrels.

:

00:58:53,610 --> 00:58:54,030

I was like, what?

:

00:58:54,030 --> 00:58:54,120

What?

:

00:58:55,710 --> 00:58:58,260

And he said, he said, he said,

I think they have a few others.

:

00:58:58,260 --> 00:58:58,830

Are you interested?

:

00:58:58,830 --> 00:59:00,150

I was like, of course I'm interested.

:

00:59:00,210 --> 00:59:00,630

Tyler: Right.

:

00:59:00,900 --> 00:59:01,140

Yeah.

:

00:59:01,170 --> 00:59:04,440

Matt: So I grabbed one, I've got one

barrel now that's Wild Turkey that we

:

00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:05,970

get to sit on for as long as we want.

:

00:59:06,570 --> 00:59:06,960

Tyler: Mm.

:

00:59:07,260 --> 00:59:10,920

Matt: It's already four years old,

so my brother and I are like, okay.

:

00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:13,020

In eight years.

:

00:59:13,380 --> 00:59:13,890

Chris: Right.

:

00:59:14,250 --> 00:59:15,030

Matt: We're gonna bottle it.

:

00:59:15,060 --> 00:59:15,480

Chris: Yes.

:

00:59:15,750 --> 00:59:16,170

Matt: That's

:

00:59:16,170 --> 00:59:16,410

Chris: sick.

:

00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:19,320

So is it up there in

Kentucky or is it down here?

:

00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:20,160

Matt: It's in Kentucky right now.

:

00:59:20,190 --> 00:59:20,490

Chris: Okay.

:

00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:23,670

Matt: He has the option 'cause my

brother's getting his DSP number

:

00:59:23,730 --> 00:59:23,970

Chris: mm-hmm.

:

00:59:24,510 --> 00:59:25,800

Matt: For his property in Boone.

:

00:59:25,860 --> 00:59:28,530

So he'll have the option to

transport them to his property.

:

00:59:29,325 --> 00:59:29,925

For aging.

:

00:59:30,255 --> 00:59:30,525

Chris: Yeah.

:

00:59:30,525 --> 00:59:33,105

Matt: Which is what my vote is

because every year we go up there,

:

00:59:33,110 --> 00:59:34,960

I'm like, I just wanna be last year.

:

00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:35,240

Yeah.

:

00:59:35,745 --> 00:59:36,525

Chris: I'm curious.

:

00:59:36,525 --> 00:59:36,975

Like

:

00:59:37,065 --> 00:59:39,165

Matt: I told 'em I wanna get whisky

and wisdom out there every year.

:

00:59:39,165 --> 00:59:39,480

I'm just kidding.

:

00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:39,800

Right.

:

00:59:40,900 --> 00:59:42,495

Chris: We just like flavor differences.

:

00:59:42,495 --> 00:59:46,485

Like I know they've done like Jefferson's

oceans, like, 'cause it's traveling

:

00:59:46,485 --> 00:59:48,225

around the world, it tastes different.

:

00:59:48,585 --> 00:59:48,975

Sure.

:

00:59:49,275 --> 00:59:54,945

But when you transport a barrel across

and you bring it up to a different

:

00:59:54,945 --> 00:59:57,015

elevation, like how does that affect,

:

00:59:57,045 --> 01:00:00,525

Tyler: I would be more interested to

know just being in a colder climate for

:

01:00:00,645 --> 01:00:02,325

a longer period of time than mm-hmm.

:

01:00:02,545 --> 01:00:03,205

Kentucky.

:

01:00:03,535 --> 01:00:04,705

I think that would be interesting.

:

01:00:04,735 --> 01:00:05,005

Matt: Yeah.

:

01:00:05,095 --> 01:00:08,185

I mean the whole, the whole

point of the barrel is that it

:

01:00:08,185 --> 01:00:09,505

expands and contracts, right?

:

01:00:09,510 --> 01:00:09,530

Mm-hmm.

:

01:00:09,610 --> 01:00:11,605

So as much as you can get it to do that,

:

01:00:12,205 --> 01:00:12,565

Chris: it's gonna

:

01:00:12,565 --> 01:00:13,195

Matt: make difference.

:

01:00:13,195 --> 01:00:13,345

Chris: Yeah.

:

01:00:13,370 --> 01:00:13,570

Tyler: Right.

:

01:00:14,410 --> 01:00:17,410

Without being in like Texas 120 degrees.

:

01:00:17,410 --> 01:00:17,420

Matt: Yeah.

:

01:00:17,420 --> 01:00:17,515

So you

:

01:00:17,515 --> 01:00:17,555

Tyler: want

:

01:00:17,555 --> 01:00:17,715

Matt: that.

:

01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:17,890

Tyler: Yeah.

:

01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:19,270

So it's like just what

:

01:00:19,270 --> 01:00:20,590

Matt: you want the contrast

:

01:00:20,650 --> 01:00:21,010

Tyler: Right.

:

01:00:21,010 --> 01:00:22,030

Matt: You know, to happen.

:

01:00:22,060 --> 01:00:23,980

Chris: So you're gonna get

a DSP for down here, right?

:

01:00:24,190 --> 01:00:24,760

Matt: For down here?

:

01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:25,000

Chris: Yeah.

:

01:00:26,650 --> 01:00:27,100

Matt: I don't know.

:

01:00:27,100 --> 01:00:27,130

I don't know.

:

01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:29,560

I would not be opposed to that.

:

01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:33,670

I would love to like, well this is

like, I mean obviously I would love to

:

01:00:33,670 --> 01:00:36,640

like have a bourbon brand, you know?

:

01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:36,790

Chris: Right.

:

01:00:36,790 --> 01:00:37,060

Yes.

:

01:00:37,065 --> 01:00:40,780

Matt: But I don't have the capital

at all right now to go in and get

:

01:00:40,780 --> 01:00:41,980

all the barrels you need to start

:

01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:42,430

Chris: Yes.

:

01:00:42,430 --> 01:00:43,420

Matt: Planning that far ahead.

:

01:00:43,420 --> 01:00:44,110

All that kind of thing.

:

01:00:44,140 --> 01:00:44,440

Chris: Right.

:

01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:44,770

Yeah.

:

01:00:44,775 --> 01:00:44,825

Yeah.

:

01:00:45,130 --> 01:00:48,550

But that'd be cool if you could take

one of your brothers and put one up

:

01:00:48,550 --> 01:00:53,230

there and one down here and see, taste

them year to year, see if there's a,

:

01:00:53,345 --> 01:00:54,130

Matt: a different climate.

:

01:00:54,460 --> 01:00:54,670

Yeah.

:

01:00:54,790 --> 01:00:55,870

Tyler: Here's a question for you.

:

01:00:56,150 --> 01:00:57,170

I don't know if you know this or not.

:

01:00:57,265 --> 01:01:00,089

I don't, but I know you do

a lot of work with in days.

:

01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:00,210

Mm-hmm.

:

01:01:01,169 --> 01:01:04,310

What do you know about this

new rye that was just released

:

01:01:04,430 --> 01:01:05,839

from the investment barrel?

:

01:01:06,259 --> 01:01:07,189

Matt: From the investment barrel?

:

01:01:07,220 --> 01:01:07,520

Tyler: Yeah,

:

01:01:07,790 --> 01:01:09,859

Matt: I know nothing about that barrel

'cause I wasn't there when they.

:

01:01:10,475 --> 01:01:10,955

Emptied that one.

:

01:01:10,955 --> 01:01:11,104

Okay.

:

01:01:11,104 --> 01:01:13,535

I just know that they emptied their

first like, investment barrel,

:

01:01:13,745 --> 01:01:14,075

Tyler: right?

:

01:01:14,584 --> 01:01:16,475

Matt: I imagine I, I'm

not sure what is it?

:

01:01:16,475 --> 01:01:17,524

Probably five years now.

:

01:01:18,064 --> 01:01:19,024

Tyler: That's three and a half.

:

01:01:19,055 --> 01:01:19,444

Matt: Just kidding.

:

01:01:19,444 --> 01:01:19,624

Tyler: That one,

:

01:01:19,624 --> 01:01:20,075

Matt: three and a half.

:

01:01:20,104 --> 01:01:20,435

Tyler: Yeah.

:

01:01:20,644 --> 01:01:21,814

Chris: It seems longer.

:

01:01:22,174 --> 01:01:25,055

Tyler: They did something to it for

like it was a New Zealand something.

:

01:01:25,055 --> 01:01:26,075

Something, something or other.

:

01:01:26,134 --> 01:01:27,785

I should have done research

before talking about it.

:

01:01:27,785 --> 01:01:29,044

Matt: Wait, is that the investment barrel?

:

01:01:29,075 --> 01:01:29,404

Yeah.

:

01:01:29,915 --> 01:01:31,265

It looks dark, which is good.

:

01:01:31,325 --> 01:01:31,774

Tyler: Yeah.

:

01:01:32,975 --> 01:01:33,575

Do you wanna open it

:

01:01:34,774 --> 01:01:35,194

Chris: right now?

:

01:01:35,285 --> 01:01:38,404

No, I'm gonna open it next

time he comes because we gotta

:

01:01:38,404 --> 01:01:38,644

Matt: save

:

01:01:38,644 --> 01:01:38,944

Chris: something.

:

01:01:39,814 --> 01:01:41,584

I'm like, I'm not gonna

be able to taste any that.

:

01:01:41,584 --> 01:01:42,604

Matt: I am in shit though.

:

01:01:42,604 --> 01:01:44,915

And I hope they have

some left there, Shane.

:

01:01:46,115 --> 01:01:46,354

Chris: Right.

:

01:01:46,894 --> 01:01:49,174

Matt: Because I definitely would like

to try it because I love watching

:

01:01:49,174 --> 01:01:50,374

what end of days does every year.

:

01:01:50,374 --> 01:01:51,484

Seeing how it changes.

:

01:01:51,934 --> 01:01:57,184

It's so fun to me, like how they, you

know, just watching what time and age does

:

01:01:57,184 --> 01:01:58,024

Chris: to product, does to everything

:

01:01:58,024 --> 01:01:58,444

Matt: product.

:

01:01:58,534 --> 01:02:01,654

Chris: So if you could ask

Shane a question on a podcast,

:

01:02:01,654 --> 01:02:02,434

what would you ask him

:

01:02:02,584 --> 01:02:03,394

Matt: if I could ask Shane a

:

01:02:03,394 --> 01:02:03,964

Chris: question?

:

01:02:03,964 --> 01:02:03,975

Yeah.

:

01:02:04,804 --> 01:02:06,784

Matt: He's like, Shane, any

question I wanna ask Shane?

:

01:02:06,784 --> 01:02:07,564

I've already asked Shane.

:

01:02:07,889 --> 01:02:10,084

Chris: I was gonna say, that's

what I said on a podcast.

:

01:02:10,084 --> 01:02:10,924

Matt: On a podcast.

:

01:02:10,924 --> 01:02:10,984

Chris: Yeah.

:

01:02:11,194 --> 01:02:12,034

Because those are totally

:

01:02:12,034 --> 01:02:14,464

Tyler: different questions that you would

want his answer to be out to the world.

:

01:02:14,464 --> 01:02:15,064

Matt: Put it out there.

:

01:02:15,274 --> 01:02:15,994

Yeah.

:

01:02:15,994 --> 01:02:16,834

Shane's gonna kill me.

:

01:02:17,074 --> 01:02:17,674

Hey, Shane.

:

01:02:20,014 --> 01:02:20,434

Nevermind.

:

01:02:20,434 --> 01:02:21,034

I'm not gonna say it.

:

01:02:23,794 --> 01:02:25,744

Tyler: I should have

waited for another round.

:

01:02:25,834 --> 01:02:25,894

No,

:

01:02:27,009 --> 01:02:29,314

Matt: I think, I don't mind saying this.

:

01:02:29,314 --> 01:02:33,244

I've told Shane a thousand times,

I think they, at end of days,

:

01:02:33,304 --> 01:02:38,614

should purchase some old barrels.

:

01:02:39,334 --> 01:02:39,844

Chris: Oh, and

:

01:02:39,904 --> 01:02:40,654

Matt: 12 years.

:

01:02:40,684 --> 01:02:40,954

Chris: Yeah.

:

01:02:41,044 --> 01:02:41,374

Yeah.

:

01:02:41,404 --> 01:02:42,094

Matt: Eight to 12.

:

01:02:43,204 --> 01:02:45,064

Because they're, what's amazing

about end day is that they're

:

01:02:45,064 --> 01:02:46,624

committed to the process.

:

01:02:46,684 --> 01:02:46,924

Chris: Mm-hmm.

:

01:02:47,163 --> 01:02:47,464

Oh, for sure.

:

01:02:47,469 --> 01:02:47,749

That's

:

01:02:47,854 --> 01:02:48,814

Matt: that's true of waiting.

:

01:02:49,084 --> 01:02:49,624

You know what I mean?

:

01:02:49,624 --> 01:02:50,734

Which you need to be.

:

01:02:51,454 --> 01:02:54,604

And so they're doing it right

from the beginning and waiting,

:

01:02:54,844 --> 01:02:55,930

you know, as age, and you get to

:

01:02:55,930 --> 01:02:57,394

Chris: taste it throughout the age

:

01:02:57,394 --> 01:02:57,913

Matt: statement and see.

:

01:02:57,913 --> 01:02:58,189

Right.

:

01:02:58,194 --> 01:02:58,989

So you do that and that's good.

:

01:02:59,884 --> 01:03:03,305

Man in the process, you also have

an opportunity to go out and source

:

01:03:03,305 --> 01:03:07,413

out some of these older barrels,

bring 'em back, let 'em age for

:

01:03:07,413 --> 01:03:11,464

a little while here as well, and

then, and be transparent about it.

:

01:03:11,464 --> 01:03:12,845

So yeah, we source some barrels.

:

01:03:13,174 --> 01:03:15,484

Obviously we're not a

10-year-old distillery.

:

01:03:15,934 --> 01:03:16,984

People can do the math.

:

01:03:16,990 --> 01:03:17,029

Mm-hmm.

:

01:03:18,004 --> 01:03:18,515

You know what I mean?

:

01:03:18,515 --> 01:03:18,604

True.

:

01:03:18,604 --> 01:03:20,825

But we sold some really good

barrels and we aged 'em here.

:

01:03:20,825 --> 01:03:21,575

We finished 'em.

:

01:03:21,575 --> 01:03:24,634

Or however you could, whatever

you want to do, get creative with

:

01:03:24,634 --> 01:03:29,044

it with the end of days label on

it and sell some super limited.

:

01:03:29,913 --> 01:03:30,424

Chris: That'd be fun.

:

01:03:30,424 --> 01:03:31,055

Matt: You know what I mean?

:

01:03:31,115 --> 01:03:32,194

Old end of day stock.

:

01:03:32,194 --> 01:03:32,464

So, so

:

01:03:34,144 --> 01:03:34,624

Chris: intriguing.

:

01:03:34,684 --> 01:03:36,604

Matt: Because you could even

blend some of those old ones with

:

01:03:36,814 --> 01:03:37,294

Chris: Exactly.

:

01:03:37,294 --> 01:03:38,944

Matt: End of day's, five year, you know.

:

01:03:38,944 --> 01:03:40,174

Chris: Ah, right.

:

01:03:40,294 --> 01:03:41,285

There's so many options.

:

01:03:41,285 --> 01:03:43,894

Like once you do a separate

age statement, it could,

:

01:03:44,163 --> 01:03:46,234

Tyler: one of our other favorite

distilleries a little bit

:

01:03:46,234 --> 01:03:47,944

further away is hidden Ships.

:

01:03:48,214 --> 01:03:48,605

Yeah.

:

01:03:48,605 --> 01:03:50,765

And, and they do the whole

blended thing and stuff too.

:

01:03:50,765 --> 01:03:52,565

And I was like, I think that's the

smart thing to do because you're

:

01:03:52,565 --> 01:03:54,455

putting some good, good juice out there.

:

01:03:54,785 --> 01:03:57,515

That people are getting to know

the name and while you're waiting

:

01:03:57,515 --> 01:03:58,985

for your own stuff to age.

:

01:03:59,105 --> 01:04:00,365

So, I mean, I think it makes sense.

:

01:04:00,815 --> 01:04:02,134

Chris: Alright, because you got

:

01:04:02,134 --> 01:04:02,285

POD:

:

01:04:02,285 --> 01:04:02,735

Matt: for one more?

:

01:04:02,944 --> 01:04:03,125

Yeah,

:

01:04:03,125 --> 01:04:04,535

Chris: we, we have room for one more.

:

01:04:04,535 --> 01:04:06,725

I don't know if the camera

has room for one more.

:

01:04:07,295 --> 01:04:07,384

Matt: Mm-hmm.

:

01:04:07,384 --> 01:04:08,404

Well then if we cut them off

:

01:04:08,705 --> 01:04:09,365

Chris: Yes sec.

:

01:04:09,424 --> 01:04:09,694

It's fine.

:

01:04:09,694 --> 01:04:10,985

So wait, so ready for it.

:

01:04:12,395 --> 01:04:13,835

Matt, do you wanna shout out anything

:

01:04:15,605 --> 01:04:17,585

Matt: Bird bars end of days?

:

01:04:19,025 --> 01:04:19,295

I don't know.

:

01:04:21,245 --> 01:04:22,625

Chris: Shout out the starling.

Chris: Check out all of his lovely

artwork is what I call it when you

01:04:31,595 --> 01:04:36,425

take beautiful photos and see all the

great things he is putting out there

:

01:04:36,425 --> 01:04:37,805

and all the stuff he's invested in.

01:04:38,225 --> 01:04:40,475

And like, comment, share, subscribe.

:

01:04:41,045 --> 01:04:44,525

Let us know what is your favorite whiskey?

:

01:04:45,305 --> 01:04:45,875

Bourbon.

:

01:04:45,875 --> 01:04:47,285

Whiskey, scotch.

:

01:04:48,170 --> 01:04:52,100

Let us know what your favorite is and

we can try and get somebody to a blind

:

01:04:52,100 --> 01:04:55,160

test and see if they can figure it out.

:

01:04:55,640 --> 01:04:58,460

Matt: Tell us what our next blind

test should be, that I might

:

01:04:58,460 --> 01:04:59,689

be able to find the bottles and

:

01:04:59,810 --> 01:05:00,855

Chris: yes, that's that'd cool.

:

01:05:00,855 --> 01:05:01,279

That's a good one.

:

01:05:01,310 --> 01:05:01,700

Matt: Yeah.

:

01:05:01,810 --> 01:05:02,500

Chris: I like that.

:

01:05:02,500 --> 01:05:06,700

Give us four options that you think we

should try and see if we can guess it.

:

01:05:07,090 --> 01:05:09,070

Probably not gonna be

good at it, but, you know,

:

01:05:10,029 --> 01:05:11,980

Tyler: maybe if we do it earlier

in the day, we might be a little

:

01:05:11,980 --> 01:05:13,240

better than we were, but yeah,

:

01:05:13,630 --> 01:05:17,860

Matt: I think it'd be cool to do

blind tastings of certain bottles.

:

01:05:17,860 --> 01:05:21,790

Like someone knows all of them and you

compare 'em to Ah, yeah, like an entry

:

01:05:21,790 --> 01:05:24,880

level bottle compared to like something

like a Pappy or something where it's like,

:

01:05:24,940 --> 01:05:28,560

Chris: oh my gosh, we did

it with something cut that.

:

01:05:29,370 --> 01:05:31,560

Oh, horrible, horrible whiskey.

:

01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:31,620

Yeah.

:

01:05:31,620 --> 01:05:32,015

What was that?

:

01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:34,470

I'm not gonna put you through that.

:

01:05:34,770 --> 01:05:35,549

It was that bad.

:

01:05:35,580 --> 01:05:36,090

That was bad.

:

01:05:36,150 --> 01:05:36,509

But yeah.

:

01:05:36,509 --> 01:05:39,060

Thank you guys for joining and

we'll catch you in the next one.

:

01:05:39,420 --> 01:05:39,899

Peace.

:

01:05:40,080 --> 01:05:40,500

Cheers.

:

01:05:40,500 --> 01:05:40,770

Cheers.

:

01:05:40,830 --> 01:05:40,950

Cheers.

:

01:05:42,330 --> 01:05:42,810

Keep going.

:

01:05:44,040 --> 01:05:44,310

Yeah.

:

01:05:44,549 --> 01:05:45,450

Matt: So whisking.

:

01:05:45,450 --> 01:05:45,509

You

:

01:05:45,509 --> 01:05:46,290

Tyler: guys see this?

:

01:05:47,654 --> 01:05:52,060

Chris: So if you stayed and the thing

kept going we're trying a third,

:

01:05:52,150 --> 01:05:53,140

Matt: we are now drunk.

:

01:05:53,770 --> 01:05:53,980

Kidding?

:

01:05:54,069 --> 01:05:54,819

We have drank too

:

01:05:54,819 --> 01:05:55,029

Tyler: much.

:

01:05:55,870 --> 01:05:59,859

Chris: We've had more than one

shot of whiskey and now we're just

:

01:05:59,859 --> 01:06:01,240

trying to guess what these are.

:

01:06:01,240 --> 01:06:01,960

Mm-hmm.

:

01:06:02,484 --> 01:06:02,705

Ooh.

:

01:06:03,325 --> 01:06:03,545

Ooh.

:

01:06:03,549 --> 01:06:03,759

Matt: Mm-hmm.

:

01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:05,650

Chris: Oh my gosh.

:

01:06:05,650 --> 01:06:05,920

That's

:

01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:08,080

Matt: what you wanna slice that

up and take every right outta

:

01:06:08,080 --> 01:06:08,830

the oven and eat it, don't

:

01:06:08,830 --> 01:06:08,950

Chris: you?

:

01:06:09,700 --> 01:06:10,450

Tyler: That's amazing.

:

01:06:10,540 --> 01:06:11,710

Chris: This gives off.

:

01:06:12,009 --> 01:06:13,330

Shout out to Pie Slayer.

:

01:06:13,779 --> 01:06:13,870

Matt: Mm-hmm.

:

01:06:14,109 --> 01:06:16,359

Chris: This gives off like

one of their apple pies.

:

01:06:17,470 --> 01:06:18,609

Matt: Do love some pie, Slayer,

:

01:06:20,680 --> 01:06:21,160

apple pie.

:

01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:22,270

Now that's all I can taste in this.

:

01:06:22,384 --> 01:06:24,430

I was gonna, yeah, I

can get like all apple

:

01:06:24,430 --> 01:06:24,730

Tyler: now.

:

01:06:24,850 --> 01:06:25,930

Matt: There's some caramel on that thing.

:

01:06:27,565 --> 01:06:28,884

Chris: I think that is my favorite.

:

01:06:28,884 --> 01:06:28,945

Yeah.

:

01:06:29,334 --> 01:06:32,124

I'm between smell wise, I love toffee.

:

01:06:32,245 --> 01:06:32,725

Matt: Yeah.

:

01:06:32,995 --> 01:06:33,535

Chris: But

:

01:06:33,745 --> 01:06:34,674

Tyler: it kind of has a toffee.

:

01:06:34,674 --> 01:06:36,775

Matt: It's funny how it smell

just has such a maturity to it.

:

01:06:36,779 --> 01:06:36,910

Mm-hmm.

:

01:06:36,990 --> 01:06:41,305

This one has like, this one feels

like the bourbon you take serious.

:

01:06:41,424 --> 01:06:41,904

Chris: Yes.

:

01:06:41,964 --> 01:06:42,384

Matt: You know what I mean?

:

01:06:42,384 --> 01:06:43,855

It's like, okay, this one came to play.

:

01:06:43,884 --> 01:06:44,634

Like this is,

:

01:06:44,695 --> 01:06:47,365

Chris: this is the one I will

pull out a cigar with, like,

:

01:06:47,395 --> 01:06:47,754

Matt: yes.

:

01:06:47,759 --> 01:06:48,079

Mm-hmm.

:

01:06:48,235 --> 01:06:48,895

Chris: Mm-hmm.

:

01:06:49,285 --> 01:06:50,365

Matt: That's another podcast.

:

01:06:50,515 --> 01:06:50,815

We should,

:

01:06:51,204 --> 01:06:51,924

Chris: it is, yeah.

:

01:06:51,985 --> 01:06:54,355

I'm still waiting for you

to open up a cigar bar.

:

01:06:54,565 --> 01:06:56,035

Matt: We almost did one

that I shouldn't say.

:

01:06:57,895 --> 01:06:59,964

Chris: So The Wild goose that's like

:

01:07:00,174 --> 01:07:00,745

Tyler: butter.

:

01:07:00,954 --> 01:07:01,254

Matt: Yeah.

:

01:07:01,254 --> 01:07:01,445

Isn't it?

:

01:07:02,605 --> 01:07:05,065

Chris: It is a running joke that

they own a bunch of bird bars.

:

01:07:05,395 --> 01:07:07,284

No, they do not own the Wild Goose.

:

01:07:07,614 --> 01:07:09,805

But that was a running

joke for a little bit.

:

01:07:11,605 --> 01:07:14,214

Matt: See, this is one where the nose

is good and the taste backs it up.

:

01:07:14,305 --> 01:07:14,845

Tyler: Yeah.

:

01:07:15,413 --> 01:07:15,895

Chris: Oh.

:

01:07:16,374 --> 01:07:18,204

Tyler: And you get all the

flavors that you smell too.

:

01:07:18,235 --> 01:07:19,704

That doesn't happen often with whiskey.

:

01:07:22,044 --> 01:07:23,424

Chris: This is definitely hotter though.

:

01:07:25,660 --> 01:07:26,980

Tyler: It's harder than

I expected it to be.

:

01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:34,360

Chris: See, this is like the Instagram

model that actually has some brains.

:

01:07:36,279 --> 01:07:39,100

This is not like the Taylor

Swift album that came out.

:

01:07:39,460 --> 01:07:43,360

Everyone was hyped about it and it

has very, very, very mixed reviews.

:

01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:46,990

Tyler: I haven't listened to it,

but when you have actual swifties

:

01:07:46,990 --> 01:07:49,150

that they're like, eh, it's okay.

:

01:07:49,150 --> 01:07:49,509

Chris: Correct.

:

01:07:49,509 --> 01:07:51,820

Tyler: And I'm like, oh

shit, it's not good then.

:

01:07:52,180 --> 01:07:52,300

Have

:

01:07:52,300 --> 01:07:52,990

Matt: you all like,

:

01:07:53,230 --> 01:07:54,160

Chris: no, I've not heard it too.

:

01:07:54,160 --> 01:07:55,000

Tyler: I haven't listened to any of

:

01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:55,060

Chris: it.

:

01:07:55,060 --> 01:07:55,570

I heard.

:

01:07:55,570 --> 01:08:00,070

So I think the one we were smelling

earlier when like it smells amazing, was

:

01:08:00,100 --> 01:08:06,100

very similar to this most recent Taylor

Swift album and this one gives off fives

:

01:08:06,100 --> 01:08:11,380

of her last album where like people were

like hyped about it and it was good.

:

01:08:12,490 --> 01:08:15,070

I think her being in a relationship

has just ruined her music.

:

01:08:16,719 --> 01:08:17,620

Tyler: I'm clipping all of that.

:

01:08:17,620 --> 01:08:18,010

It's going on.

:

01:08:18,010 --> 01:08:20,799

TikTok must be the most

viral clip that we ever had.

:

01:08:20,950 --> 01:08:22,420

Matt: I mean, someone

:

01:08:22,420 --> 01:08:22,870

Chris: said,

:

01:08:22,930 --> 01:08:25,689

Matt: let's be honest, if she's

engaged and this one broke off,

:

01:08:25,719 --> 01:08:27,130

imagine the album after that.

:

01:08:27,130 --> 01:08:27,850

Oh gosh.

:

01:08:27,850 --> 01:08:29,500

I'm not speaking that existence.

:

01:08:30,399 --> 01:08:33,010

Chris: Yes, someone I did die.

:

01:08:33,068 --> 01:08:34,568

Tyler: It probably

wouldn't be bad for Travis.

:

01:08:34,620 --> 01:08:35,040

Chris: Kelsey.

:

01:08:35,040 --> 01:08:37,260

Tyler: Kelsey either, because

he also hasn't been doing that.

:

01:08:37,260 --> 01:08:37,590

Great.

:

01:08:37,770 --> 01:08:37,979

Yes.

:

01:08:37,979 --> 01:08:38,309

So

:

01:08:38,460 --> 01:08:40,920

Chris: I will say that

he, he is out there.

:

01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:46,109

Not stupid, but someone said that

like this new album was written

:

01:08:46,109 --> 01:08:47,550

so that he could understand it.

:

01:08:47,609 --> 01:08:48,180

And I just,

:

01:08:48,690 --> 01:08:52,020

Tyler: damn Travis,

Kelsey's out here smart.

:

01:08:52,020 --> 01:08:52,830

I'll tell you who's not gonna be

:

01:08:52,830 --> 01:08:53,490

Matt: sponsoring it.

:

01:08:53,845 --> 01:08:54,085

Right?

:

01:08:55,470 --> 01:08:57,029

Tyler: I was trying to

get all the podcast.

:

01:08:57,029 --> 01:08:59,670

Dude, Tyler, Jason, I

still really like you.

:

01:08:59,700 --> 01:09:00,090

Chris: Oh my God.

:

01:09:01,080 --> 01:09:03,990

Travis, I would love

to hear your opinions.

:

01:09:04,979 --> 01:09:08,340

I mean, I'm sure you'll not come down

to Wilmington, but if you do hit us

:

01:09:08,340 --> 01:09:12,865

up, we're a little known podcast and

we would love to have you as a guest.

:

01:09:14,415 --> 01:09:15,825

Tyler: He's, we know, we know Connor Barr.

:

01:09:16,005 --> 01:09:17,024

That's another NFL player.

:

01:09:17,024 --> 01:09:17,175

I dunno.

:

01:09:18,255 --> 01:09:19,694

Chris: I'm here to talk shit.

:

01:09:19,694 --> 01:09:19,965

Come on

:

01:09:19,965 --> 01:09:20,205

Matt: down.

:

01:09:20,745 --> 01:09:22,184

Chris: I would love for

him to back himself up.

:

01:09:22,184 --> 01:09:22,335

I've been

:

01:09:22,335 --> 01:09:23,565

Matt: playing horrible lately and we

:

01:09:24,135 --> 01:09:24,434

Chris: Yeah.

:

01:09:24,885 --> 01:09:26,715

Tyler: Played horrible lately

and he thinks you're stupid.

:

01:09:26,865 --> 01:09:27,404

Come on down.

:

01:09:27,404 --> 01:09:27,825

You related.

:

01:09:27,825 --> 01:09:28,190

Chris: No, no.

:

01:09:28,604 --> 01:09:30,255

My statement was, I didn't say this.

:

01:09:30,255 --> 01:09:31,065

Someone else did.

:

01:09:32,234 --> 01:09:32,385

Matt: Alright.

:

01:09:32,385 --> 01:09:33,135

What are we drinking guys?

:

01:09:34,635 --> 01:09:34,965

Chris: Hm.

:

01:09:35,325 --> 01:09:36,194

Matt: Said something beautiful.

:

01:09:36,194 --> 01:09:36,225

I

:

01:09:36,225 --> 01:09:36,885

Tyler: was gonna say something.

:

01:09:37,184 --> 01:09:37,335

It's

:

01:09:37,335 --> 01:09:38,024

Chris: delicious.

:

01:09:38,145 --> 01:09:41,444

14 years, 1 0 6 proof

:

01:09:44,925 --> 01:09:45,585

Burban

:

01:09:46,365 --> 01:09:47,085

Matt: Burban.

:

01:09:47,145 --> 01:09:47,354

Chris: Yeah.

:

01:09:47,385 --> 01:09:47,654

Matt: Okay.

:

01:09:47,654 --> 01:09:48,975

That's whole, that's way

different than bourbon.

:

01:09:50,444 --> 01:09:51,645

Chris: It's fancier than bourbon.

:

01:09:52,575 --> 01:09:54,045

I was gonna go 12

:

01:09:55,425 --> 01:09:56,325

Matt: quick selfie guys.

:

01:09:56,325 --> 01:09:57,015

This is for

:

01:10:00,585 --> 01:10:01,125

in just a minute.

:

01:10:01,125 --> 01:10:02,220

I'll tell you who the selfie's for.

:

01:10:02,440 --> 01:10:02,660

Chris: Cj.

:

01:10:04,620 --> 01:10:04,840

Matt: No,

:

01:10:07,600 --> 01:10:08,000

Chris: I love it.

:

01:10:09,230 --> 01:10:09,520

Oh's.

:

01:10:11,450 --> 01:10:14,870

You know the bourbon's good

when everyone gets real quiet.

:

01:10:15,650 --> 01:10:16,370

Like it just,

:

01:10:18,590 --> 01:10:20,030

Tyler: yeah, this one's meaty.

:

01:10:22,580 --> 01:10:24,260

12 years, one 10.

:

01:10:26,210 --> 01:10:28,370

I wanna say a rye, but I also

feel like it's a bourbon.

:

01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:29,990

'cause it'ss too sweet.

:

01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:33,740

That does have a little bit

of a spice to it though.

:

01:10:34,220 --> 01:10:34,430

Chris: No.

:

01:10:34,430 --> 01:10:36,500

In our luck, it'll be a 1 26

:

01:10:36,770 --> 01:10:37,220

Tyler: millet.

:

01:10:38,175 --> 01:10:39,590

Matt: Definitely millet.

:

01:10:39,590 --> 01:10:40,520

I'm a big millet fan.

:

01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:43,730

Chris: I didn't hate the

millet though, to be completely

:

01:10:43,730 --> 01:10:44,150

Tyler: honest.

:

01:10:44,150 --> 01:10:44,210

The

:

01:10:44,360 --> 01:10:45,980

Matt: melt was actually

pretty good, obviously.

:

01:10:46,280 --> 01:10:48,710

I mean, it was obviously a

different grain than corn, right?

:

01:10:48,740 --> 01:10:49,100

Yes.

:

01:10:49,100 --> 01:10:50,120

We guessed that part, so,

:

01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:51,050

Chris: oh,

:

01:10:52,070 --> 01:10:53,630

Tyler: I just never had a mill it before.

:

01:10:56,030 --> 01:10:56,809

That's exactly, you know what?

:

01:10:56,809 --> 01:11:00,260

I haven't brought into the office that

I don't know if I have or you have.

:

01:11:00,260 --> 01:11:03,170

I don't know where it's at,

but it's what Jesse brought us.

:

01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:04,520

Chris: Oh, the taster.

:

01:11:04,520 --> 01:11:05,255

You have it taster.

:

01:11:05,270 --> 01:11:06,050

Maybe it's at my house.

:

01:11:06,080 --> 01:11:06,710

I'll have to look.

:

01:11:07,130 --> 01:11:07,700

Tyler: I'll look too.

:

01:11:08,120 --> 01:11:09,320

It would be in one place if I did

:

01:11:09,530 --> 01:11:10,460

Chris: the smell kit.

:

01:11:11,180 --> 01:11:12,440

I think Matt would appreciate it.

:

01:11:12,620 --> 01:11:13,010

Tyler: Yeah.

:

01:11:14,030 --> 01:11:18,410

So Jesse Davis brought us a smell

kit and it had all of the smells

:

01:11:18,410 --> 01:11:21,095

of every, almost every flavor

that could be inside of whiskey.

:

01:11:21,095 --> 01:11:21,380

Oh, I've seen before.

:

01:11:21,440 --> 01:11:21,769

Yeah.

:

01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:22,220

Yeah.

:

01:11:22,340 --> 01:11:22,790

Those are fun.

:

01:11:22,790 --> 01:11:23,870

So yeah, it's pretty neat.

:

01:11:24,290 --> 01:11:27,080

So like you don't know what something

smells like unless you smelled it.

:

01:11:27,650 --> 01:11:28,190

So like,

:

01:11:28,460 --> 01:11:29,059

Matt: or doubt it.

:

01:11:29,240 --> 01:11:29,570

Chris: Yes,

:

01:11:29,570 --> 01:11:30,080

Tyler: that's true.

:

01:11:30,170 --> 01:11:30,410

Yeah.

:

01:11:30,559 --> 01:11:30,769

Chris: Yeah.

:

01:11:31,220 --> 01:11:33,590

So this isn't like the last

podcast when everyone ran out

:

01:11:33,590 --> 01:11:34,550

the room at the same time.

:

01:11:35,269 --> 01:11:35,510

Tyler: Yeah,

:

01:11:36,710 --> 01:11:39,170

Chris: no, he went to

go pick, he went to get

:

01:11:39,500 --> 01:11:39,950

Tyler: Christian.

:

01:11:39,950 --> 01:11:45,019

Chris: Christian, and then Mike had

to go pee and everyone just ran.

:

01:11:45,019 --> 01:11:46,460

And I'm trying to end the podcast.

:

01:11:46,460 --> 01:11:47,570

I'm like, y'all are killing

:

01:11:47,570 --> 01:11:47,630

Tyler: it.

:

01:11:47,630 --> 01:11:49,580

Catherine's like, what are

you gonna do with this ending?

:

01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:51,769

And I was like, it's a drinking podcast.

:

01:11:51,769 --> 01:11:52,070

It's what?

:

01:11:52,070 --> 01:11:52,160

It's

:

01:11:54,140 --> 01:11:54,470

Chris: all right.

:

01:11:54,500 --> 01:11:55,250

What do you got, Matt?

:

01:11:57,410 --> 01:11:58,250

Matt: You want me to say you what it is?

:

01:11:58,280 --> 01:11:58,580

Chris: Yeah.

:

01:11:58,850 --> 01:12:00,260

Matt: Have you already like submitted your

:

01:12:01,430 --> 01:12:02,300

Chris: My assumption?

:

01:12:02,450 --> 01:12:02,750

Tyler: I said

:

01:12:02,750 --> 01:12:04,460

Chris: 14 1 0 7.

:

01:12:05,480 --> 01:12:06,470

Tyler: I said 12 years.

:

01:12:06,470 --> 01:12:07,010

1 0 1.

:

01:12:07,820 --> 01:12:08,120

No.

:

01:12:08,179 --> 01:12:08,750

1 0 5.

:

01:12:09,080 --> 01:12:09,469

What'd I say?

:

01:12:09,469 --> 01:12:09,860

One 10.

:

01:12:09,950 --> 01:12:10,370

1 0 5.

:

01:12:10,429 --> 01:12:10,759

Chris: You said?

:

01:12:10,759 --> 01:12:11,269

1 0 5.

:

01:12:11,420 --> 01:12:11,809

Tyler: 1 0 5.

:

01:12:11,900 --> 01:12:12,080

Yeah.

:

01:12:12,469 --> 01:12:12,769

Matt: Cool.

:

01:12:12,830 --> 01:12:15,080

Chris: And he's gonna be

like, well, it's a five year,

:

01:12:15,139 --> 01:12:16,670

Matt: so it's a melet.

:

01:12:18,769 --> 01:12:19,460

It's a bourbon.

:

01:12:19,670 --> 01:12:20,059

Chris: Okay.

:

01:12:20,719 --> 01:12:24,650

Matt: Very unknown kind of

distillery called Buffalo Trays.

:

01:12:24,799 --> 01:12:25,759

Tyler: Ah, yeah.

:

01:12:25,879 --> 01:12:26,690

You ever would've heard of them?

:

01:12:26,769 --> 01:12:27,970

Matt: It's the Weller foolproof.

:

01:12:28,660 --> 01:12:29,740

Chris: Oh, okay.

:

01:12:29,740 --> 01:12:29,750

Matt: Okay.

:

01:12:29,980 --> 01:12:31,030

114 proof.

:

01:12:32,170 --> 01:12:33,100

Oh, seven years.

:

01:12:33,550 --> 01:12:34,300

Six to seven.

:

01:12:34,930 --> 01:12:35,440

Chris: Oh wow.

:

01:12:36,309 --> 01:12:37,090

Was a

:

01:12:37,150 --> 01:12:39,880

Matt: But this one is a barrel pick.

:

01:12:39,940 --> 01:12:41,110

Chris: I was gonna say,

is this a barrel pick?

:

01:12:41,110 --> 01:12:41,140

I

:

01:12:41,140 --> 01:12:42,190

Tyler: was gonna say it was

different about it then.

:

01:12:42,250 --> 01:12:42,370

Okay.

:

01:12:42,370 --> 01:12:46,469

Matt: Friend of mine named Thomas Bisset,

a local guy here in town amazing guy.

:

01:12:47,074 --> 01:12:49,474

A a a heavy hitter in the

bourbon collecting world.

:

01:12:49,474 --> 01:12:53,164

The dude has higher dollar bottles

than anyone you'll ever meet.

:

01:12:55,024 --> 01:12:55,534

Nice.

:

01:12:56,854 --> 01:12:58,234

I'd, I'd hedge.

:

01:12:58,234 --> 01:12:59,524

Whatever it is you're about to say.

:

01:12:59,524 --> 01:13:02,129

The this guy is.

:

01:13:03,079 --> 01:13:03,439

Wild.

:

01:13:03,679 --> 01:13:04,814

Tyler: He needs to come

on the podcast then.

:

01:13:04,814 --> 01:13:05,054

Yeah,

:

01:13:05,193 --> 01:13:06,254

Matt: you need to go podcast.

:

01:13:06,859 --> 01:13:07,219

Chris: Who was

:

01:13:07,219 --> 01:13:07,309

Matt: that?

:

01:13:07,359 --> 01:13:08,799

But he's a quiet bourbon collector.

:

01:13:08,799 --> 01:13:09,219

He's this guy.

:

01:13:09,219 --> 01:13:09,429

Okay.

:

01:13:09,429 --> 01:13:09,699

Well bring

Matt: January for the next one.

:

01:13:11,229 --> 01:13:14,709

He literally just now as we're

talking, sent me an original Stitzel.

:

01:13:14,709 --> 01:13:16,299

Weller 1 0 7.

:

01:13:16,629 --> 01:13:17,109

Chris: Oh.

:

01:13:17,409 --> 01:13:19,389

Matt: He just not popped open

and said, it's ready for you

:

01:13:19,389 --> 01:13:20,109

when you wanna come over.

:

01:13:20,109 --> 01:13:20,469

I was like,

:

01:13:20,979 --> 01:13:21,369

Chris: wow,

:

01:13:21,429 --> 01:13:22,209

Matt: what are you doing tonight?

:

01:13:22,209 --> 01:13:22,239

I

:

01:13:22,239 --> 01:13:22,899

Chris: was saying, now

:

01:13:23,619 --> 01:13:24,489

Matt: I was like, I'm prime ready now.

:

01:13:24,594 --> 01:13:24,794

I'm,

:

01:13:25,659 --> 01:13:26,769

Chris: what do we, oh,

:

01:13:27,549 --> 01:13:28,689

Matt: anyway, he did a barrel pick.

:

01:13:28,749 --> 01:13:29,169

Chris: Yeah,

:

01:13:29,529 --> 01:13:29,949

Matt: he went up there.

:

01:13:29,949 --> 01:13:35,469

His family or his dad won the

raffle to get to go buffalo

:

01:13:35,469 --> 01:13:36,519

trace and do a barrel pick.

:

01:13:36,699 --> 01:13:36,999

Chris: That's

:

01:13:36,999 --> 01:13:37,359

Matt: amazing.

:

01:13:37,389 --> 01:13:37,779

Chris: Foolproof.

:

01:13:38,709 --> 01:13:38,829

Matt: Yeah.

:

01:13:38,859 --> 01:13:41,318

So he went up there and picked it

and that's what this bottle is.

:

01:13:41,614 --> 01:13:42,219

Chris: It is beautiful.

:

01:13:42,249 --> 01:13:43,989

We had two Weller foolproof today,

:

01:13:45,369 --> 01:13:49,809

Matt: which I just did a weller

foolproof pick in December,

:

01:13:50,079 --> 01:13:50,979

Tyler: with whom, I dunno why

:

01:13:50,979 --> 01:13:53,229

Matt: with another friend

in town who won the rifle.

:

01:13:54,039 --> 01:13:55,209

So I gotta go up there.

:

01:13:55,990 --> 01:13:56,559

Do a pick.

:

01:13:56,740 --> 01:13:57,459

Chris: Was it Costa

:

01:13:57,639 --> 01:13:58,330

Matt: Happy to bring it?

:

01:13:58,330 --> 01:13:59,080

Yes.

:

01:13:59,259 --> 01:14:00,309

Chris: Yeah, we had that this morning.

:

01:14:00,370 --> 01:14:02,594

Matt: You had his, that's

his, yeah, we had met Coston.

:

01:14:02,695 --> 01:14:03,514

Oh, that's Costa's.

:

01:14:03,584 --> 01:14:03,874

Yeah.

:

01:14:03,940 --> 01:14:04,299

Oh, okay.

:

01:14:04,360 --> 01:14:07,629

Chris: I will say that was a good pick.

:

01:14:07,690 --> 01:14:09,580

Matt: If Costa's listening, I

mean, it's good, but it's not

:

01:14:09,580 --> 01:14:10,870

nearly as good as Thomas bis.

:

01:14:11,139 --> 01:14:11,349

I'm just,

:

01:14:16,209 --> 01:14:16,360

Tyler: they

:

01:14:16,365 --> 01:14:17,684

Matt: taste completely different.

:

01:14:17,684 --> 01:14:17,964

Mm-hmm.

:

01:14:18,190 --> 01:14:19,389

I mean, the trip was amazing too.

:

01:14:19,389 --> 01:14:21,370

Like just the experience with that.

:

01:14:22,209 --> 01:14:22,870

I love that

:

01:14:22,900 --> 01:14:25,959

Tyler: they don't even

taste the same by any means.

:

01:14:25,959 --> 01:14:26,169

Matt: Yeah.

:

01:14:26,169 --> 01:14:27,669

You should have put, we should

have put 'em side by side.

:

01:14:27,669 --> 01:14:28,929

I didn't realize you had Costa's pick.

:

01:14:29,139 --> 01:14:29,379

Chris: Yeah,

:

01:14:29,589 --> 01:14:31,325

Matt: that actually would've been,

let's, can we, I was say, let's do it.

:

01:14:31,330 --> 01:14:32,290

Can we sip a little bit now?

:

01:14:32,290 --> 01:14:34,299

Just to put it costan versus bi?

:

01:14:34,540 --> 01:14:35,530

This is kinda,

:

01:14:35,679 --> 01:14:36,190

Chris: yes.

:

01:14:36,459 --> 01:14:36,910

Get it.

:

01:14:37,179 --> 01:14:37,419

All right.

:

01:14:37,419 --> 01:14:37,690

All right.

:

01:14:37,780 --> 01:14:39,190

You're easier to get than me.

:

01:14:40,780 --> 01:14:41,139

What does that mean?

:

01:14:42,459 --> 01:14:46,299

Well, I'm gonna, you can

just walk around everything.

:

01:14:46,299 --> 01:14:48,099

I gotta push stuff out the way.

:

01:14:49,480 --> 01:14:49,990

Matt: All right.

:

01:14:49,990 --> 01:14:51,580

I, is this my first time like.

:

01:14:52,164 --> 01:14:54,324

Side to side tasting

costume versus biscuit.

:

01:14:54,654 --> 01:14:56,934

These are the two picks that

I'm very familiar with, so

:

01:14:57,564 --> 01:14:57,924

Tyler: that's good.

:

01:15:05,754 --> 01:15:07,164

Can be weird and take some of your water.

:

01:15:07,464 --> 01:15:07,644

Yeah.

:

01:15:08,544 --> 01:15:09,054

Matt: Is that weird?

:

01:15:10,314 --> 01:15:10,764

Chris: I don't know.

:

01:15:10,764 --> 01:15:13,404

I don't know if he's had any

water outside of the podcast.

:

01:15:13,584 --> 01:15:14,184

Matt: You call it weird.

:

01:15:14,184 --> 01:15:15,084

I call it responsible.

:

01:15:15,714 --> 01:15:16,074

Chris: Yes.

:

01:15:18,864 --> 01:15:20,364

Tyler: I mean, drinking out of his bottle.

:

01:15:21,204 --> 01:15:21,443

Chris: Oh,

:

01:15:21,804 --> 01:15:22,254

Matt: all right.

:

01:15:22,254 --> 01:15:24,174

This is the official

costume versus biscuit.

:

01:15:24,864 --> 01:15:25,164

Tyler: Yeah.

:

01:15:25,164 --> 01:15:26,304

Matt: It needs to be a little side little,

:

01:15:27,024 --> 01:15:28,884

Tyler: I say, yeah, we'll

send this to the side.

:

01:15:30,024 --> 01:15:30,714

Matt: Are we still recording?

:

01:15:30,804 --> 01:15:30,984

Chris: Yes.

:

01:15:30,984 --> 01:15:31,193

Yeah.

:

01:15:31,199 --> 01:15:31,279

Yeah.

:

01:15:31,764 --> 01:15:31,794

Okay.

:

01:15:31,884 --> 01:15:34,914

So smell wise, this is softer.

:

01:15:36,384 --> 01:15:38,029

I feel like the, I would agree with that.

:

01:15:38,029 --> 01:15:40,344

The biscuit one was definitely

a little bit more like Sweet.

:

01:15:40,584 --> 01:15:40,884

Matt: Yeah.

:

01:15:40,884 --> 01:15:41,484

Chris: Forward.

:

01:15:41,634 --> 01:15:42,054

Mm-hmm.

:

01:15:43,734 --> 01:15:45,774

It's a little bit, I oof.

:

01:15:48,070 --> 01:15:49,360

Matt: Maybe, I don't know.

:

01:15:49,419 --> 01:15:49,809

Yeah.

:

01:15:50,139 --> 01:15:50,619

Chris: Not in a bad way.

:

01:15:50,619 --> 01:15:51,789

This smells a little spicier.

:

01:15:52,929 --> 01:15:53,740

Matt: What's the proof on the other?

:

01:15:53,740 --> 01:15:54,759

This one feels a little sharper.

:

01:15:54,789 --> 01:15:54,999

Like

:

01:15:54,999 --> 01:15:55,360

Chris: Yes.

:

01:15:55,419 --> 01:15:57,490

Matt: So all wellow foolproof

is proofed at one 14.

:

01:15:57,699 --> 01:15:58,179

Chris: Oh, okay.

:

01:15:59,019 --> 01:16:00,129

Matt: They proof it down, so it's

:

01:16:00,999 --> 01:16:02,349

Chris: So what do you taste it at though?

:

01:16:03,610 --> 01:16:06,249

Matt: I mean, we tasted a barrel

strength, which we don't know

:

01:16:06,249 --> 01:16:07,240

exactly what that strength is.

:

01:16:07,299 --> 01:16:07,900

Oh, we tasting 'em.

:

01:16:07,900 --> 01:16:10,959

We taste through five barrels, I think.

:

01:16:10,959 --> 01:16:11,709

Four or five barrels.

:

01:16:11,919 --> 01:16:12,129

Chris: Mm.

:

01:16:13,539 --> 01:16:13,900

Matt: So you

:

01:16:13,900 --> 01:16:14,860

Chris: stay hydrated.

:

01:16:15,280 --> 01:16:18,459

Matt: I got a lot of photos from it

too, if y'all need those from our pick.

:

01:16:19,240 --> 01:16:19,959

Chris: I remember.

:

01:16:20,409 --> 01:16:23,049

That's I, that's some of my

favorite photos of yours.

:

01:16:23,289 --> 01:16:24,820

This one's a little bit hot barrel picks.

:

01:16:25,240 --> 01:16:26,829

Tyler: This one's a little

hotter on the back end.

:

01:16:27,429 --> 01:16:28,449

Matt: It's drier too.

:

01:16:28,629 --> 01:16:29,049

Chris: Yes.

:

01:16:29,049 --> 01:16:29,059

Tyler: Yeah,

:

01:16:30,009 --> 01:16:30,789

Matt: it's got that pucker.

:

01:16:31,150 --> 01:16:31,480

Mm-hmm.

:

01:16:32,980 --> 01:16:33,190

Chris: Which

:

01:16:33,190 --> 01:16:34,150

Tyler: is patch in the back of the,

:

01:16:34,419 --> 01:16:37,659

Chris: it's interesting and unfair

because like you don't both get to

:

01:16:37,659 --> 01:16:40,900

show up and try the same barrels.

:

01:16:41,110 --> 01:16:43,269

You get different barrels

from different spots, right?

:

01:16:43,869 --> 01:16:44,139

Matt: Yeah.

:

01:16:45,474 --> 01:16:46,315

Chris: Which is interesting.

:

01:16:46,320 --> 01:16:48,634

Matt: This one's, this one's a lot

different, honestly, than mm-hmm.

:

01:16:48,759 --> 01:16:49,049

Chris: Yeah.

:

01:16:49,049 --> 01:16:49,249

Tyler: Yeah.

:

01:16:49,285 --> 01:16:51,565

I was gonna say they don't

even taste remotely the same.

:

01:16:51,655 --> 01:16:51,955

Matt: Yeah.

:

01:16:52,434 --> 01:16:56,365

Chris: The other one I felt

like was more of a early fall.

:

01:16:56,964 --> 01:16:59,365

This one I feel like is

more of a, like winter.

:

01:16:59,815 --> 01:16:59,905

Matt: Mm-hmm.

:

01:17:00,144 --> 01:17:03,054

And I don't, and the thing is

too, is I think, I think the

:

01:17:03,054 --> 01:17:04,344

bottle changes once you open it.

:

01:17:04,405 --> 01:17:05,544

Once you oxidate, I mean mm-hmm.

:

01:17:05,785 --> 01:17:06,955

Get some of that oxygen in there.

:

01:17:06,955 --> 01:17:10,735

So like to pop open in a bottle and

pour fresh pour there, you're gonna get

:

01:17:10,735 --> 01:17:14,184

away different, I think pour than if you

sit on it for a while and then open it.

:

01:17:14,334 --> 01:17:14,634

Chris: Yeah.

:

01:17:14,785 --> 01:17:15,054

Right.

:

01:17:15,054 --> 01:17:16,224

Matt: A week or two later or whatever.

:

01:17:16,735 --> 01:17:21,105

But so yeah, I don't know

that biscuit bottle's been

:

01:17:21,105 --> 01:17:21,974

sitting over there for a while.

:

01:17:21,974 --> 01:17:25,155

I just think it's, I don't know.

:

01:17:25,184 --> 01:17:27,075

This, this one feels newer.

:

01:17:27,254 --> 01:17:29,625

Like it's got a little

more astringent to it.

:

01:17:30,224 --> 01:17:30,974

Not in a bad way.

:

01:17:30,974 --> 01:17:31,634

I mean, it's not like

:

01:17:31,665 --> 01:17:31,905

Chris: Right.

:

01:17:32,295 --> 01:17:32,625

Not,

:

01:17:33,405 --> 01:17:35,415

Matt: but also Costa might

be listening to this bit, so,

:

01:17:36,825 --> 01:17:38,205

Chris: so we'll taste this,

:

01:17:38,264 --> 01:17:40,665

Matt: but we had such a

fun trip though for Costa.

:

01:17:40,785 --> 01:17:41,415

Like we just.

:

01:17:41,985 --> 01:17:42,434

Just hit a bus.

:

01:17:42,434 --> 01:17:43,394

Such a good time, man.

:

01:17:43,394 --> 01:17:45,105

Like we, we went out

to other distilleries.

:

01:17:45,105 --> 01:17:48,884

We like, that's, we're real big on

the electric scooters around Kentucky.

:

01:17:48,884 --> 01:17:49,124

Oh yeah.

:

01:17:49,155 --> 01:17:49,454

So

:

01:17:51,974 --> 01:17:54,615

bunch of guys doing bourbon

tastings and jumping on scooters.

:

01:17:55,605 --> 01:17:56,445

The recipe for bourbon

:

01:17:56,445 --> 01:17:57,914

Tyler: tastings and bird scooters.

:

01:17:58,934 --> 01:17:59,894

Chris: Bird scooters.

:

01:18:00,164 --> 01:18:00,945

Tyler: Oh, was just making,

:

01:18:00,945 --> 01:18:01,690

Chris: I was like, what?

:

01:18:02,655 --> 01:18:05,624

Someone said you saw the, we

had a government shutdown.

:

01:18:06,014 --> 01:18:07,214

When was the last time you saw a bird?

:

01:18:07,245 --> 01:18:07,544

Bird

:

01:18:08,204 --> 01:18:09,105

Matt: saw a bird.

:

01:18:09,674 --> 01:18:10,815

Tyler: I told you I knew.

:

01:18:11,414 --> 01:18:12,464

Birds aren't real man.

:

01:18:12,495 --> 01:18:13,905

Matt: That's a good

transition to the bird bars.

:

01:18:13,905 --> 01:18:15,134

So you should come to that.

:

01:18:17,474 --> 01:18:18,285

Tyler: Which are real.

:

01:18:18,615 --> 01:18:18,825

Matt: Which

:

01:18:18,825 --> 01:18:19,184

Chris: the bird bars

:

01:18:19,934 --> 01:18:20,054

Matt: are real.

:

01:18:20,054 --> 01:18:20,775

Wanna see a bird?

:

01:18:21,615 --> 01:18:23,924

Chris: Because I remember when

you came up with the name of the

:

01:18:23,924 --> 01:18:27,584

Starling, like the question was,

what is that kind of bird in general?

:

01:18:27,584 --> 01:18:31,934

So it, I always think of that story

when it comes to our bird reel.

:

01:18:31,934 --> 01:18:32,204

There used

:

01:18:32,204 --> 01:18:35,204

Tyler: to be weird birds in my backyard

all the time, which didn't surprise me.

:

01:18:35,204 --> 01:18:36,374

And how there's not any, so.

:

01:18:37,214 --> 01:18:37,874

That's all I know.

:

01:18:37,995 --> 01:18:38,414

Chris: They're oldest

:

01:18:38,414 --> 01:18:39,285

Matt: conspiracy for sure.

:

01:18:39,315 --> 01:18:39,554

Yep.

:

01:18:40,004 --> 01:18:40,724

Chris: They're all drones.

:

01:18:41,205 --> 01:18:43,485

Tyler: They all wanna listen

to me talk to my 5-year-old.

:

01:18:44,294 --> 01:18:44,355

My

:

01:18:44,355 --> 01:18:44,445

Matt: gosh.

:

01:18:44,445 --> 01:18:46,754

I think if you guys do a bourbon

pig, you should call it birden,

:

01:18:47,235 --> 01:18:47,445

Tyler: right?

:

01:18:47,535 --> 01:18:47,775

Bird.

:

01:18:51,495 --> 01:18:53,054

We have actually renamed the podcast.

:

01:18:53,054 --> 01:18:53,655

It's now Bird.

:

01:18:53,655 --> 01:18:54,164

Bird.

:

01:18:57,974 --> 01:18:58,799

Chris: It is not wisb.

:

01:18:59,624 --> 01:19:00,014

Tyler: No.

:

01:19:01,139 --> 01:19:02,775

We, we will bring Amanda back on.

:

01:19:02,985 --> 01:19:03,495

Chris: Oh my gosh.

:

01:19:04,304 --> 01:19:05,115

We should.

:

01:19:05,294 --> 01:19:06,644

Matt: So you asked me

about my favorite bourbon.

:

01:19:06,644 --> 01:19:06,735

Yes.

:

01:19:06,735 --> 01:19:08,535

Who's been your favorite guest ever?

:

01:19:10,424 --> 01:19:11,540

Chris: Matt Ray, of course.

:

01:19:13,575 --> 01:19:15,764

So it falls under three categories

:

01:19:15,764 --> 01:19:16,544

Matt: in front of the camera,

:

01:19:16,695 --> 01:19:22,634

Chris: so it falls under like,

knowledge, fun, and whiskey.

:

01:19:23,415 --> 01:19:26,144

Matt: So, Kaylee, I'm just kidding.

:

01:19:27,014 --> 01:19:28,455

Chris: She does hit all the markers.

:

01:19:28,485 --> 01:19:28,785

Matt: Kayleigh's

:

01:19:28,785 --> 01:19:29,415

Chris: amazing.

:

01:19:29,415 --> 01:19:30,674

She, she does hit everything.

:

01:19:31,004 --> 01:19:34,754

So when it comes to like whiskey.

:

01:19:36,210 --> 01:19:37,259

It's a toss up.

:

01:19:37,650 --> 01:19:38,429

Leland Brewing.

:

01:19:38,940 --> 01:19:39,780

Matt: Oh, so he's really good at know

:

01:19:39,780 --> 01:19:39,870

Chris: some

:

01:19:40,139 --> 01:19:40,485

Matt: people Chris.

:

01:19:40,485 --> 01:19:40,684

Chris: Yeah.

:

01:19:40,769 --> 01:19:41,309

Chris Lako.

:

01:19:41,370 --> 01:19:42,150

Chris Lako.

:

01:19:42,150 --> 01:19:44,460

And you, I think you both have brew.

:

01:19:44,460 --> 01:19:44,670

You don't

:

01:19:44,670 --> 01:19:45,929

Matt: name me just because

I asked, so I get it.

:

01:19:46,139 --> 01:19:46,530

Chris: Oh no.

:

01:19:46,530 --> 01:19:48,450

I think you both have a

lot of, we brought you on.

:

01:19:48,450 --> 01:19:48,900

Brought us,

:

01:19:48,900 --> 01:19:49,379

Tyler: yeah.

:

01:19:49,559 --> 01:19:52,230

That brought us a lot of

whiskey and whiskey knowledge.

:

01:19:52,259 --> 01:19:52,679

Chris: Yes.

:

01:19:52,980 --> 01:19:54,990

Which has been awesome.

:

01:19:55,339 --> 01:19:56,148

Fun.

:

01:19:56,449 --> 01:19:58,489

I think it's tossed up between the ladies.

:

01:19:59,119 --> 01:20:01,519

Brittany, Kaylee, and Catherine.

:

01:20:02,719 --> 01:20:03,980

Tyler: Catherine's been on like five times

:

01:20:03,980 --> 01:20:05,150

Chris: almost with those three.

:

01:20:05,150 --> 01:20:05,419

Yeah.

:

01:20:05,419 --> 01:20:05,869

Burner.

:

01:20:06,139 --> 01:20:08,179

Tyler: She was actually on at one 30.

:

01:20:08,839 --> 01:20:09,499

Matt: Oh, today?

:

01:20:09,504 --> 01:20:09,544

POD:

:

01:20:09,559 --> 01:20:10,129

Chris: Yeah.

:

01:20:10,129 --> 01:20:10,579

Matt: That's cool.

:

01:20:10,700 --> 01:20:11,719

Tyler: She was on with Microcopy

:

01:20:11,719 --> 01:20:12,019

Matt: Sweet.

:

01:20:12,019 --> 01:20:12,410

I like her.

:

01:20:12,410 --> 01:20:12,420

Her,

:

01:20:12,440 --> 01:20:12,679

Chris: yeah.

:

01:20:12,740 --> 01:20:13,039

Tyler: Yeah.

:

01:20:13,339 --> 01:20:14,539

Matt: Wait, she was on with Costin?

:

01:20:15,325 --> 01:20:15,905

Chris: No, Koski.

:

01:20:16,144 --> 01:20:16,464

Tyler: Koski.

:

01:20:16,485 --> 01:20:16,704

Matt: Oh.

:

01:20:20,155 --> 01:20:21,264

Chris: Weird combination of people.

:

01:20:21,494 --> 01:20:22,825

Matt: Have y'all had Matt Costa on here?

:

01:20:22,844 --> 01:20:23,065

Chris: No.

:

01:20:23,615 --> 01:20:24,709

Matt: He'd a, he'd be a farmer.

:

01:20:25,339 --> 01:20:25,490

Yes.

:

01:20:25,490 --> 01:20:25,610

Yeah.

:

01:20:25,639 --> 01:20:28,369

Chris: So he has a huge selection too.

:

01:20:29,193 --> 01:20:29,644

Ooh.

:

01:20:30,574 --> 01:20:31,384

Matt: He used to.

:

01:20:31,564 --> 01:20:33,604

Chris: Yeah, he sold it.

:

01:20:33,844 --> 01:20:34,294

Yeah.

:

01:20:34,594 --> 01:20:35,044

Tyler: Oh no,

:

01:20:35,224 --> 01:20:35,764

Matt: I got rid of it.

:

01:20:36,184 --> 01:20:36,394

Chris: Yeah.

:

01:20:36,784 --> 01:20:37,114

Tyler: Drank

:

01:20:37,114 --> 01:20:37,204

Chris: it.

:

01:20:37,204 --> 01:20:37,564

Don't worry.

:

01:20:39,094 --> 01:20:39,589

Matt: Let's go with that.

:

01:20:39,709 --> 01:20:39,989

I like

:

01:20:39,989 --> 01:20:39,999

Chris: that.

:

01:20:40,049 --> 01:20:43,709

And then wisdom wise, I,

we've had so many crazy,

:

01:20:44,219 --> 01:20:49,440

Tyler: and it's just so vast

of like realms of wisdom.

:

01:20:49,709 --> 01:20:49,799

Yes.

:

01:20:49,799 --> 01:20:51,990

So it'd be hard to even

try to pinpoint it.

:

01:20:53,099 --> 01:20:53,519

Chris: Yes.

:

01:20:54,509 --> 01:20:56,190

Tyler: Because we have people

with life and then we have people

:

01:20:56,190 --> 01:20:57,929

with like specific like knowledge.

:

01:20:58,079 --> 01:21:01,980

So like people that come on all the

time or that comment, like Nick Rizzo

:

01:21:02,099 --> 01:21:04,379

was super specific with marketing.

:

01:21:04,650 --> 01:21:05,339

Chris: Mm-hmm.

:

01:21:05,340 --> 01:21:06,599

Tyler: And like video marketing.

:

01:21:06,869 --> 01:21:10,289

So like that's a very specific internet

marketing, like video marketing.

:

01:21:10,289 --> 01:21:12,150

Like obviously he's gonna win like the

:

01:21:12,150 --> 01:21:12,360

Chris: Yes.

:

01:21:12,360 --> 01:21:13,110

He's gonna win that one.

:

01:21:13,110 --> 01:21:14,789

Tyler: Video Marketing wisdom.

:

01:21:14,969 --> 01:21:17,879

Then we have like life wisdom

and then we have business wisdom.

:

01:21:18,329 --> 01:21:19,709

A lot of real estate people that

:

01:21:19,949 --> 01:21:21,004

Chris: brought on so

many real estate people.

:

01:21:21,570 --> 01:21:21,719

Matt: Yeah.

:

01:21:21,719 --> 01:21:21,869

There's a

:

01:21:21,869 --> 01:21:21,959

Chris: lot.

:

01:21:21,959 --> 01:21:23,699

What is it with whiskey and real estate?

:

01:21:25,184 --> 01:21:25,875

Real estate too.

:

01:21:27,615 --> 01:21:30,215

Tyler: Everyone in real estate drinks

a lot of whiskey, so yeah, you a drink

:

01:21:30,215 --> 01:21:30,525

Matt: to get through it.

:

01:21:31,335 --> 01:21:31,845

Chris: Maybe

:

01:21:32,295 --> 01:21:35,025

Matt: the rise and fall from COVID

till now, I felt it's got dry

:

01:21:35,025 --> 01:21:35,295

Chris: for sure.

:

01:21:36,315 --> 01:21:40,635

I feel like I should have jumped ship and

just gone to to real estate and then just

:

01:21:40,635 --> 01:21:42,345

been like, eh, I don't like any whiskey's.

:

01:21:42,345 --> 01:21:43,305

Go back to watches.

:

01:21:44,025 --> 01:21:45,345

Tyler: That's a hard journey to go through

:

01:21:45,345 --> 01:21:45,495

' POD:

:

01:21:45,495 --> 01:21:45,644

Tyler: it's

:

01:21:45,644 --> 01:21:46,845

Chris: literally an up and down.

:

01:21:46,995 --> 01:21:47,505

Yes.

:

01:21:48,135 --> 01:21:49,635

I don't think my wife would've approved

:

01:21:49,665 --> 01:21:50,775

Matt: not unlike whiskey.

:

01:21:51,465 --> 01:21:51,825

Chris: Yes.

:

01:21:51,825 --> 01:21:51,915

Through

:

01:21:51,915 --> 01:21:52,365

Matt: the seasons.

:

01:21:52,455 --> 01:21:52,934

Tyler: You're right.

:

01:21:53,115 --> 01:21:54,795

Chris: So many different journeys.

:

01:21:55,184 --> 01:21:56,775

This bottle looks amazing.

:

01:21:57,224 --> 01:21:58,545

Tyler: You think back to:

:

01:22:00,195 --> 01:22:02,355

Whiskey has always been the

greatest thing since then.

:

01:22:03,795 --> 01:22:05,835

Chris: Gosh, was that 22 when we started?

:

01:22:05,835 --> 01:22:06,315

Tyler: I think so.

:

01:22:06,375 --> 01:22:06,644

Matt: What?

:

01:22:06,644 --> 01:22:06,675

COVID

:

01:22:07,215 --> 01:22:08,210

Chris: No, the podcast.

:

01:22:08,309 --> 01:22:08,540

No, the

:

01:22:08,540 --> 01:22:09,045

Matt: podcast.

:

01:22:09,045 --> 01:22:09,375

Sorry.

:

01:22:09,434 --> 01:22:09,705

Yeah.

:

01:22:09,825 --> 01:22:10,635

I said the C word.

:

01:22:10,695 --> 01:22:10,845

Chris: Yeah,

:

01:22:12,195 --> 01:22:12,795

Matt: the other C word.

:

01:22:12,915 --> 01:22:13,215

Chris: Yeah.

:

01:22:13,275 --> 01:22:13,665

It was

:

01:22:13,665 --> 01:22:14,835

Tyler: born out of COVID, so I

:

01:22:14,835 --> 01:22:15,375

Chris: mean, yes.

:

01:22:15,644 --> 01:22:17,355

Tyler came up with a concept.

:

01:22:18,105 --> 01:22:22,275

He decided to join the rounds

like whiskey tasting group.

:

01:22:22,875 --> 01:22:26,415

Went through all three rounds

before we started the podcast.

:

01:22:27,135 --> 01:22:29,565

Tyler: I was like, I don't, I didn't know

anything about whiskey when we started the

:

01:22:29,565 --> 01:22:31,545

podcast, it was called Whiskey and Wisdom.

:

01:22:31,605 --> 01:22:33,015

So I was like, let me figure this out.

:

01:22:33,105 --> 01:22:33,315

Chris: Yes.

:

01:22:33,495 --> 01:22:38,115

Tyler: So, rounds had three levels

of Whiskey Club, so I was like, I'm

:

01:22:38,115 --> 01:22:40,095

gonna finish by the time we start.

:

01:22:40,605 --> 01:22:44,265

So I drank a whole lot of

whiskey in like three months.

:

01:22:44,265 --> 01:22:44,684

Chris: Yeah.

:

01:22:45,375 --> 01:22:45,525

Tyler: Yeah.

:

01:22:45,525 --> 01:22:45,735

So I

:

01:22:45,735 --> 01:22:46,305

Matt: Hell love that.

:

01:22:46,305 --> 01:22:47,415

What a great way to get into it.

:

01:22:47,415 --> 01:22:48,495

But just, just diving in.

:

01:22:48,495 --> 01:22:49,215

Just diving in,

:

01:22:49,934 --> 01:22:50,235

Tyler: yeah.

:

01:22:50,235 --> 01:22:50,745

Chris: I didn't

:

01:22:50,745 --> 01:22:50,985

Matt: finish.

:

01:22:50,985 --> 01:22:52,035

Take it until you make it right,

:

01:22:52,065 --> 01:22:52,815

Chris: until like

:

01:22:52,845 --> 01:22:53,475

Tyler: exactly

:

01:22:53,475 --> 01:22:54,375

Chris: six months ago

:

01:22:54,645 --> 01:22:55,425

Matt: you didn't finish What

:

01:22:55,605 --> 01:22:59,955

Chris: the, the first level of the whiskey

club at Round I finished six months ago.

:

01:22:59,985 --> 01:23:01,485

Matt: I'm not familiar with

this club you speak of.

:

01:23:01,490 --> 01:23:02,059

Chris: Yeah, you should

:

01:23:02,059 --> 01:23:02,460

Tyler: check it out.

:

01:23:02,460 --> 01:23:02,470

Yeah.

:

01:23:02,470 --> 01:23:03,945

So at rounds it's pretty cool.

:

01:23:03,945 --> 01:23:05,915

They have silver, gold, and platinum.

:

01:23:06,980 --> 01:23:09,769

And yeah, so during COVID I had

nothing better her to do than

:

01:23:10,040 --> 01:23:12,469

I didn't have kids at the time,

so I was like, this was straight

:

01:23:12,469 --> 01:23:12,889

Matt: platinum.

:

01:23:12,889 --> 01:23:13,130

Right.

:

01:23:14,300 --> 01:23:15,320

Chris: There was a guy who did

:

01:23:15,710 --> 01:23:17,510

Tyler: like, he legit, there

was a guy who even beat me and

:

01:23:17,510 --> 01:23:18,620

I went through it pretty quick.

:

01:23:18,650 --> 01:23:19,070

Matt: Okay.

:

01:23:19,130 --> 01:23:19,639

Tyler: Yeah.

:

01:23:19,639 --> 01:23:21,260

Chris: I was like, how the fuck?

:

01:23:21,650 --> 01:23:21,920

Matt: Yeah.

:

01:23:21,950 --> 01:23:25,070

Chris: But apparently he lives like

in the apartments behind there.

:

01:23:25,070 --> 01:23:25,099

He

:

01:23:25,485 --> 01:23:27,290

Tyler: literal, he was

like stumbled back home.

:

01:23:27,290 --> 01:23:29,300

I actually had to drive

back to Brunswick County.

:

01:23:29,360 --> 01:23:29,719

Chris: Yeah.

:

01:23:32,210 --> 01:23:37,429

So two very different, I think this,

you know, I always like analogies.

:

01:23:37,639 --> 01:23:39,844

It's like two kids, it's so good.

:

01:23:39,844 --> 01:23:42,980

Like a parent has two children,

they're how to pick their

:

01:23:42,980 --> 01:23:43,370

Matt: favorite.

:

01:23:43,370 --> 01:23:44,300

Chris: They're both great.

:

01:23:44,540 --> 01:23:47,929

You can't really pick a favorite

because they're both so very different.

:

01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:48,500

Matt: Yeah.

:

01:23:48,920 --> 01:23:50,510

So are you team Costin or Team Biscuit?

:

01:23:50,510 --> 01:23:51,800

Let's just, let's just call it,

:

01:23:52,550 --> 01:23:53,599

Chris: I mean this is not,

:

01:23:53,809 --> 01:23:56,480

Matt: if you had to die with one of

these in your hand, what's it gonna be?

:

01:23:59,420 --> 01:24:03,230

Chris: So if I died young and you

buried me in satin, I would say Costin.

:

01:24:03,719 --> 01:24:03,989

But.

:

01:24:04,349 --> 01:24:06,480

As an aged professional,

I would say Bishop.

:

01:24:07,769 --> 01:24:08,699

Matt: Oh yes.

:

01:24:09,869 --> 01:24:10,169

Okay.

:

01:24:10,499 --> 01:24:12,059

So ton's like the rebel bourbon.

:

01:24:12,509 --> 01:24:12,749

Chris: Yeah.

:

01:24:15,629 --> 01:24:19,469

Tyler: We just had Christian Carone

on and he was like having, he was

:

01:24:19,469 --> 01:24:22,829

having like the most politically

correct answers to everything.

:

01:24:23,339 --> 01:24:25,799

So Chris is just trying

to follow that suit.

:

01:24:27,959 --> 01:24:29,549

He was like, they both,

:

01:24:30,959 --> 01:24:32,699

Chris: no, they're both so very different.

:

01:24:32,699 --> 01:24:37,980

Like as a young person, I would

say like, I like this and it's

:

01:24:38,459 --> 01:24:40,079

taste like it is very different.

:

01:24:40,079 --> 01:24:43,379

It gives off me and this season of life.

:

01:24:43,650 --> 01:24:43,739

Yeah.

:

01:24:43,739 --> 01:24:48,959

Giving off a very Britney answer, but

I feel like as I grow older I would

:

01:24:48,959 --> 01:24:51,119

like the, like smoother, the sweeter.

:

01:24:51,690 --> 01:24:57,360

I pray that that is me when I get older

is like a very smoother, sweeter person.

:

01:24:57,599 --> 01:25:01,230

Tyler: So if I'm gonna take

the politically correct version

:

01:25:01,230 --> 01:25:02,699

of choosing between both,

:

01:25:02,699 --> 01:25:03,209

Chris: yes.

:

01:25:04,859 --> 01:25:08,339

Tyler: The cost in one, I think actually

has a little bit more flavor to it.

:

01:25:08,759 --> 01:25:09,089

Matt: Okay.

:

01:25:09,659 --> 01:25:12,089

Tyler: So there's a little bit

more variety to the flavor when

:

01:25:12,089 --> 01:25:16,949

you, from basically smelling it to

having it going down your throat.

:

01:25:17,429 --> 01:25:20,459

The other I think is just

smoother and so like a little

:

01:25:20,459 --> 01:25:21,629

bit more, it feels more mature.

:

01:25:22,169 --> 01:25:22,379

Chris: Yeah.

:

01:25:22,529 --> 01:25:22,979

Matt: Yeah.

:

01:25:22,979 --> 01:25:24,449

That's, that's what,

:

01:25:24,749 --> 01:25:26,249

Tyler: so that, that's kind

of exactly what you said,

:

01:25:26,249 --> 01:25:27,119

but just in different words.

:

01:25:27,749 --> 01:25:28,109

Chris: See?

:

01:25:28,229 --> 01:25:28,589

Matt: Yeah.

:

01:25:29,759 --> 01:25:31,769

So if you could be buried with any bottle.

:

01:25:31,799 --> 01:25:33,479

So costume is the sprint.

:

01:25:33,719 --> 01:25:35,009

Visit is the marathon.

:

01:25:35,729 --> 01:25:36,089

Yes.

:

01:25:36,089 --> 01:25:37,079

Tyler: That's probably

a good way to put it.

:

01:25:37,709 --> 01:25:38,039

Chris: Yeah.

:

01:25:39,959 --> 01:25:43,889

Tyler: And both have

their reasons for being,

:

01:25:44,009 --> 01:25:46,379

Chris: you have to try, you

have to practice sprinting

:

01:25:46,379 --> 01:25:47,579

to get good at marathons.

:

01:25:48,389 --> 01:25:49,684

Tyler: That's not even true.

:

01:25:50,039 --> 01:25:51,119

So it's just different.

:

01:25:54,059 --> 01:25:56,459

Chris: So Matt, if you could be buried

with a bottle, what would it be?

:

01:25:57,089 --> 01:25:58,648

I'm going, I'm going to finish

:

01:25:58,648 --> 01:25:59,459

Tyler: this one, so hold on.

:

01:25:59,459 --> 01:26:02,164

I, I want any bottle, I

want, I want any bottle.

:

01:26:02,164 --> 01:26:05,519

Want to take this for a second and

steal it from Chris because what he said

:

01:26:05,519 --> 01:26:10,619

wasn't true and I want to make it very

known and different for both of 'em when

:

01:26:10,619 --> 01:26:12,539

it comes to sprinting and marathons.

:

01:26:12,629 --> 01:26:14,159

I will always be a sprinter.

:

01:26:14,159 --> 01:26:15,749

I'll never be a marathoner.

:

01:26:16,230 --> 01:26:18,719

So you can't say that one will

eventually go into another.

:

01:26:18,719 --> 01:26:20,459

I think it's just two

different types of people.

:

01:26:20,699 --> 01:26:23,249

Chris: But in order to get faster

at running a marathon, you have

:

01:26:23,249 --> 01:26:24,898

to get faster at running sprints.

:

01:26:24,959 --> 01:26:25,949

Tyler: No, that's not true.

:

01:26:26,129 --> 01:26:26,249

Chris: Yeah,

:

01:26:27,148 --> 01:26:27,329

Tyler: no.

:

01:26:27,329 --> 01:26:30,568

I know a lot of people that run

ultras that are terrible at sprinting.

:

01:26:30,568 --> 01:26:30,629

Yeah.

:

01:26:30,629 --> 01:26:31,019

Matt: Marathons

:

01:26:31,019 --> 01:26:31,230

Chris: endurance.

:

01:26:31,230 --> 01:26:33,119

But an ultra and a

marathon are different too.

:

01:26:33,989 --> 01:26:36,659

Tyler: Well, even marathons

too, that's still 26 miles.

:

01:26:36,869 --> 01:26:39,629

So like I know a lot of people

that actually do sprints

:

01:26:39,629 --> 01:26:40,709

that can't do marathons.

:

01:26:40,709 --> 01:26:43,409

I know a lot of people that run

marathons that will never be

:

01:26:43,409 --> 01:26:44,969

even close to me in a sprint.

:

01:26:44,969 --> 01:26:45,929

And I'm not even a sprinter.

:

01:26:45,929 --> 01:26:47,818

Matt: I know one guy that

doesn't do either one.

:

01:26:48,294 --> 01:26:48,814

That's myself.

:

01:26:51,239 --> 01:26:52,829

I can only relate it to good bourbons.

:

01:26:54,994 --> 01:26:58,054

Now, that costume bottle, that, that's

the more real realistic, now that costume

:

01:26:58,169 --> 01:27:03,449

bottle right there would, if you wait,

you know, in a couple months and you try

:

01:27:03,449 --> 01:27:05,219

that again, you might be like, okay, okay.

:

01:27:06,239 --> 01:27:09,989

There's the maturity, there's the, it

aired for a little bit or whatever.

:

01:27:10,049 --> 01:27:10,559

You know what I mean?

:

01:27:10,559 --> 01:27:10,919

It's like,

:

01:27:11,009 --> 01:27:12,568

Chris: so those, that's probably

the more real answer for those

:

01:27:12,568 --> 01:27:15,659

who want try this bottle after

it's been open for a little bit.

:

01:27:15,909 --> 01:27:24,940

It will be at the Whiskey and Watches

night on November 7th at Reed Jewelers.

:

01:27:25,089 --> 01:27:25,749

Come check us out.

:

01:27:26,949 --> 01:27:27,489

Tyler: What day is that?

:

01:27:27,818 --> 01:27:28,599

Chris: November 7th.

:

01:27:28,599 --> 01:27:29,529

It's a Friday.

:

01:27:30,259 --> 01:27:30,605

You come by.

:

01:27:31,124 --> 01:27:31,325

Yeah.

:

01:27:32,165 --> 01:27:33,245

Come by, check us out.

:

01:27:33,455 --> 01:27:36,704

We're gonna have some bottles that

have been introduced on the podcast.

:

01:27:36,704 --> 01:27:37,364

Unfortunately.

:

01:27:37,364 --> 01:27:39,464

I love y'all, but you're

not getting my Rio.

:

01:27:39,855 --> 01:27:40,365

But dude,

:

01:27:40,365 --> 01:27:42,165

Matt: that constant sip I just

took, sorry I interrupt you.

:

01:27:42,165 --> 01:27:43,004

That was fantastic.

:

01:27:43,065 --> 01:27:43,334

I was like,

:

01:27:43,455 --> 01:27:43,964

Chris: see,

:

01:27:44,924 --> 01:27:48,434

Matt: no, I mean, it's, it's, it, I mean,

I already knew it was an amazing bottle.

:

01:27:48,495 --> 01:27:48,884

Chris: Yeah.

:

01:27:50,025 --> 01:27:50,355

Matt: I should have.

:

01:27:50,355 --> 01:27:51,584

They both like age over time.

:

01:27:51,674 --> 01:27:51,915

Chris: Yeah.

:

01:27:52,514 --> 01:27:52,754

Matt: Gotcha.

:

01:27:52,754 --> 01:27:56,415

Chris: So you should come check out

November 7th Reeds across the street.

:

01:27:56,955 --> 01:27:59,025

You can see if it tastes any different

:

01:27:59,115 --> 01:27:59,804

Matt: at Reeds.

:

01:27:59,834 --> 01:28:00,134

Chris: Yeah.

:

01:28:01,424 --> 01:28:01,724

Matt: Okay.

:

01:28:01,815 --> 01:28:03,554

Chris: We're doing a whiskey

and watches night, so we'll

:

01:28:03,554 --> 01:28:05,775

have four different whiskeys

:

01:28:05,865 --> 01:28:06,195

Matt: get drunk

:

01:28:06,315 --> 01:28:06,434

Chris: by

:

01:28:06,434 --> 01:28:07,004

Matt: watches.

:

01:28:07,634 --> 01:28:08,445

Chris: I would love it.

:

01:28:08,535 --> 01:28:08,804

Matt: That's how

:

01:28:08,804 --> 01:28:08,924

Tyler: you

:

01:28:08,924 --> 01:28:09,315

Matt: do it.

:

01:28:09,464 --> 01:28:09,825

Wow.

:

01:28:10,125 --> 01:28:12,735

Chris: If you bought watches,

that's buy if you get drunk.

:

01:28:12,735 --> 01:28:13,634

That's not on me.

:

01:28:14,325 --> 01:28:16,245

I'm only allowed to pour so much.

:

01:28:16,245 --> 01:28:16,665

But

:

01:28:16,754 --> 01:28:18,285

Matt: have you heard

of the Maer Maid watch?

:

01:28:18,974 --> 01:28:20,655

Chris: Maer Maid, like to Mater

:

01:28:20,684 --> 01:28:23,415

Matt: New, I think he's out of Virginia.

:

01:28:23,415 --> 01:28:24,464

Chris: Mm-hmm.

:

01:28:24,584 --> 01:28:25,214

Maer Maid.

:

01:28:25,245 --> 01:28:26,325

Matt: I photographed his watches.

:

01:28:26,445 --> 01:28:26,745

Tyler: You see it

:

01:28:26,745 --> 01:28:27,165

Matt: was a seventh.

:

01:28:27,165 --> 01:28:27,495

I have one.

:

01:28:27,945 --> 01:28:28,214

Chris: Yeah.

:

01:28:29,084 --> 01:28:30,974

Tyler: Not to be confused

with November 6th, what I

:

01:28:30,974 --> 01:28:32,565

mentioned before, which is the,

:

01:28:33,044 --> 01:28:33,405

Chris: oh yeah.

:

01:28:33,405 --> 01:28:33,914

Your night.

:

01:28:33,914 --> 01:28:36,374

Tyler: Fourth trimester

mission dad's night.

:

01:28:36,525 --> 01:28:36,825

Chris: Yeah.

:

01:28:37,664 --> 01:28:39,735

Tyler: So you can come out

and get all of the whiskey you

:

01:28:39,735 --> 01:28:40,874

want on the sixth and seventh.

:

01:28:40,905 --> 01:28:41,684

Matt: Oh man.

:

01:28:43,184 --> 01:28:44,744

So you know what y'all

need to have on here?

:

01:28:45,164 --> 01:28:45,704

Chris: I don't,

:

01:28:46,934 --> 01:28:48,764

Matt: Chaz from the bourbon report.

:

01:28:49,874 --> 01:28:50,834

Tyler: I don't think I know who that is

:

01:28:50,834 --> 01:28:51,374

Matt: on Instagram.

:

01:28:51,374 --> 01:28:54,075

Chris: Isn't he based at a

like bur like or something?

:

01:28:54,075 --> 01:28:55,155

Matt: He's in Asheville now.

:

01:28:55,365 --> 01:28:55,784

Chris: Okay.

:

01:28:55,934 --> 01:28:57,644

Matt: But he was in Wilmington most of,

:

01:28:57,735 --> 01:28:58,065

Chris: okay.

:

01:28:58,365 --> 01:28:58,754

Most

:

01:28:58,754 --> 01:28:59,579

Matt: of his set up recently.

:

01:28:59,584 --> 01:29:00,644

Most moved to Asheville.

:

01:29:00,674 --> 01:29:03,224

He is the bourbon guy.

:

01:29:04,184 --> 01:29:06,884

Like you want someone who's,

you want wisdom and bourbon.

:

01:29:07,155 --> 01:29:07,485

Tyler: Yeah.

:

01:29:07,605 --> 01:29:08,325

Matt: That's the guy.

:

01:29:08,594 --> 01:29:09,434

Chaz is your guy.

:

01:29:10,124 --> 01:29:11,985

Chaz goes with us on a lot of our picks.

:

01:29:12,164 --> 01:29:12,704

Tyler: No, why?

:

01:29:12,735 --> 01:29:12,974

Okay.

:

01:29:12,974 --> 01:29:13,634

Matt: He doesn't even live here.

:

01:29:13,634 --> 01:29:15,494

We call like, Chaz, we need you to come.

:

01:29:15,519 --> 01:29:16,139

He will come.

:

01:29:16,214 --> 01:29:17,235

His pal's amazing.

:

01:29:17,235 --> 01:29:22,634

He's just a, he's the guy to

talk to, but he's just knows his

:

01:29:22,634 --> 01:29:26,775

stuff and talk about someone who

will bring some amazing bottles.

:

01:29:27,269 --> 01:29:28,439

To tell while y'all are here.

:

01:29:28,499 --> 01:29:29,339

This he'll do it.

:

01:29:29,939 --> 01:29:30,568

Tyler: Where's he at again?

:

01:29:30,629 --> 01:29:31,454

Matt: So he's in Asheville.

:

01:29:31,459 --> 01:29:32,909

Asheville, but he still visits Wilmington.

:

01:29:33,179 --> 01:29:33,568

Tyler: Okay.

:

01:29:33,939 --> 01:29:34,599

Matt: Periodically.

:

01:29:35,199 --> 01:29:41,259

Tyler: So in June when we get our

second blind barrels from here

:

01:29:41,799 --> 01:29:42,099

Chris: Oh,

:

01:29:42,219 --> 01:29:43,629

Tyler: I'll be willing

to go up to Asheville.

:

01:29:43,629 --> 01:29:45,609

I'm not going to Asheville January.

:

01:29:45,789 --> 01:29:45,849

Matt: No.

:

01:29:45,849 --> 01:29:46,749

He should wait until it

comes to what I'm saying.

:

01:29:46,809 --> 01:29:47,889

Ah, even better.

:

01:29:47,889 --> 01:29:48,159

Wilmington.

:

01:29:48,159 --> 01:29:50,439

Just shoot, hit him up and

say, Hey, next time you're

:

01:29:50,439 --> 01:29:51,669

Wilmington, can you do a podcast?

:

01:29:51,729 --> 01:29:52,059

Tyler: Yeah.

:

01:29:52,119 --> 01:29:53,749

It'd be fun to do blind barrels

with him too, too though.

:

01:29:53,799 --> 01:29:55,179

Matt: Oh, he would be great at it.

:

01:29:55,209 --> 01:29:55,659

Tyler: Yeah.

:

01:29:55,719 --> 01:29:55,959

Matt: Yeah.

:

01:29:56,589 --> 01:29:58,489

Tyler: But I'm not I'd be

willing to travel too, but

:

01:29:58,549 --> 01:29:59,989

not in January to Asheville.

:

01:29:59,989 --> 01:30:00,409

Matt: No, for sure.

:

01:30:01,009 --> 01:30:01,969

Tyler: June in Asheville.

:

01:30:01,999 --> 01:30:04,339

Matt: He's my, he, he's probably

one of my best bourbon friends.

:

01:30:04,339 --> 01:30:07,579

I mean, he's like, knows

his stuff and it's just like

:

01:30:08,689 --> 01:30:09,409

Tyler: that's Yeah.

:

01:30:09,589 --> 01:30:10,579

He's on top of us too,

:

01:30:10,729 --> 01:30:11,809

Matt: willing to share everything.

:

01:30:11,809 --> 01:30:14,299

He's the kind of guy that's

like, I'll open any bottle.

:

01:30:14,389 --> 01:30:15,559

He's like, it's not, you know?

:

01:30:15,679 --> 01:30:16,279

Tyler: That's awesome.

:

01:30:16,609 --> 01:30:18,379

That's kinda how we are

like people all the time.

:

01:30:18,439 --> 01:30:21,439

'cause we'll get our hands on some like

pretty neat bottles every once in a while.

:

01:30:21,739 --> 01:30:22,609

Like, why'd you open?

:

01:30:23,749 --> 01:30:24,139

I'm like,

:

01:30:24,334 --> 01:30:24,554

Matt: why

:

01:30:24,554 --> 01:30:24,754

Tyler: wouldn't

:

01:30:24,754 --> 01:30:24,834

Matt: I?

:

01:30:24,839 --> 01:30:26,059

Tyler: Why wouldn't you open it?

:

01:30:26,059 --> 01:30:26,359

Chris: There's a,

:

01:30:26,359 --> 01:30:27,259

Matt: his life is short.

:

01:30:27,349 --> 01:30:27,619

Chris: Exactly.

:

01:30:27,619 --> 01:30:32,809

There's an old dude in Midwest who

has like over a thousand bottles.

:

01:30:32,989 --> 01:30:33,109

Mm-hmm.

:

01:30:33,739 --> 01:30:37,759

And like he legit, every single

bottle has been open and tasted

:

01:30:37,759 --> 01:30:38,989

Matt: mm-hmm.

:

01:30:38,990 --> 01:30:39,619

Of a thousand.

:

01:30:40,879 --> 01:30:42,529

Damn, that's, that says a lot.

:

01:30:42,739 --> 01:30:42,889

Yeah.

:

01:30:42,889 --> 01:30:43,669

I mean, he's been doing

:

01:30:43,669 --> 01:30:44,344

Chris: it not

:

01:30:44,344 --> 01:30:44,514

Matt: many for,

:

01:30:44,959 --> 01:30:46,818

Chris: he's been doing it for decades.

:

01:30:46,824 --> 01:30:47,105

Matt: Yeah.

:

01:30:47,109 --> 01:30:47,359

Yeah.

:

01:30:47,389 --> 01:30:49,398

Chris: So like, he's got a bottle.

:

01:30:49,398 --> 01:30:50,299

It's in a showcase.

:

01:30:50,299 --> 01:30:50,959

He's tasted it.

:

01:30:51,079 --> 01:30:51,259

Matt: Yeah.

:

01:30:51,589 --> 01:30:56,089

Tyler: The only liquor that

I haven't opened is a vodka.

:

01:30:56,419 --> 01:31:02,480

I think it's a rum from EOD and I

had the original distiller sign it.

:

01:31:02,809 --> 01:31:03,349

Matt: Oh, nice.

:

01:31:03,440 --> 01:31:05,509

Tyler: So that's the only reason

why I haven't opened this.

:

01:31:05,690 --> 01:31:05,989

Chris: Okay.

:

01:31:05,989 --> 01:31:06,409

That makes more

:

01:31:06,409 --> 01:31:06,529
