Ep. 98: Willett or Won't It? featuring Rowan’s Creek Straight Kentucky Bourbon and Yeyo Tequila Mission 1530 Anejo

Ep. 99: Wet Hot American Summer QuickSips™ with Evan Williams Single Barrel 250th Anniversary Edition and Waikulu Distillery Ohana Reserve Agave Spirit

For this show, The Boys celebrate the 250th birthday of our nation with two spirits that were made in America! Everyone knows Tequila has to be made in specific regions of Mexico. This show highlights an "agave spirit" made with Blue Weber Agave and with similar methods, but in the great state of Hawaii. Everyone knows Evan Williams, but this bottle is special for the 250th celebration and bottled at 117.76 proof. The best part - the agave spirit for this pairing is 118 proof, making this show one wet hot American tasting. You had to catch the Evan Williams on the shelf, and you have to go to Hawaii for this agave spirit.  But don't let that stop you!  Grab a high proof blanco, a high proof bourbon, invite your friends to listen and sip along, and Make It A Happy Friday!™ Cheers!   p.s.: In the show open, The Boys mention Brad Niccum of Tasting Tequila with Brad, one of their favorite voices in agave.  Check out his YouTube channel and find him on all the socials: linktr.ee/tastingtequilawithbrad [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=channel_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbG1TMm94OEFFVV9zSWFkcUQ4R2NURTFWZnlqZ3xBQ3Jtc0tuajJQZEhzWTVHUURuWVQ0T0pLaUh5QjlvZ1dPWTBrU3MwMUxSSmZVVkZWWUllMnhCMjJEbFFaS3pHOWRLRF9MazVaSW9UTGpLSlFPUmNvdXZrN1lZQlRvdG1RSWk1czV6TlNJYTZNRU5qZjRDd0xnSQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Flinktr.ee%2Ftastingtequilawithbrad]

Ep. 98: Willett or Won't It? featuring Rowan’s Creek Straight Kentucky Bourbon and Yeyo Tequila Mission 1530 Anejo

Happy Friday!  For this show, The Boys celebrate a great tequila bottle, the Yeyo Tequila Mission 1530 Anejo, that did great things through the Tequila That Cares Foundation to raise money for a school in Arandas. This anejo was finished for a short time in Willett Purple Top Barrels. For the whiskey, they pair it with Rowan’s Creek, a bottle that is definitely not a Purple Top, but is rather an everyday Willett bottle that can be found anywhere.  Drew rants about influencers, about the tequila fans who complain about influencers, and about disruptors that need to apparently just get him his coffee. Matt rants about expensive bottles and laughs at Drew’s rants. Both of these bottles are good examples of how you need to crack open the bottle to get some air in there before you give it your final judgment. Listen to the end for the QuickSips™ that impress both of them. So gather your friends, grab a Yeyo, grab a Rowan’s Creek, listen and sip along and Make It A Happy Friday!™

Ep. 97: A Beautiful Blind Blanco BONUS!! With Tierra de Ensueno and Arte NOM 1123

Happy Friday, y'all!  For this show, The Boys set themselves up blind for two Blanco pours: the Tierra de Ensueno Blanco and Arte NOM 1123 Blanco. Both of these expressions were briefly aged in barrels that had other spirits, both are around the same proof, and both are around the same-ish price. Can the boys pick out the 1123? Can they pick their favorite of the two? Can they discover the true definition of “Bootylicious?” You’ll have to listen to find out. Gather your friends, pour a couple of Blanco tequilas, sit down, relax, and Make It A Happy Friday!™ Salud!

Ep. 96: Sip Around and Find Out with Rossville Union Straight Rye Whiskey ABV Barrel Shop Single Barrel and Cambio Tequila Anejo Cellar Series #1 El Desliz

Sometimes The Boys come across some special bottles that by themselves bring a good story, a lot of flavor, and a lot of NUANCE.  And when they QuickSip™ them together, it’s even more special.  This rye whiskey from Ross & Squibb Distillery is a Single Barrel from the ABV Barrel Shop in Arnold, MO with a ton of fruit flavors and great complexities. The tequila from Cambio Tequila represents the first of their Cellar Series - a limited release program with unique expressions. Stay for the stories and laugh with the lads. You might not find these exact bottles, but you can certainly find a whiskey, a tequila, a friend, maybe a pressed fruit bowl memory and a moment to sit back and sip along and Make It A Happy Friday!™ Salud!

Ep. 95: Just a QuickSip™ Flex with Tierra de Ensueno Blanco Tequila and Glenmorangie 12 Year Single Malt

For this fantastic Friday episode, The Boys pair up a new Blanco that they tasted recently at an event with a Single Malt that Matt was able to pull out of his sense-memory. Ass-signment completed! Did he nail the flavors? Did he accurately recall the notes to nail the QuickSip™? You will have to listen to find out. The ending reveals a little whiskey news, the middle tangents at a fairly regular level, and the tasting notes are as elaborate as always.  While you listen, you could give us a five star rating, leave a review, tell a friend, open a bottle of tequila and open a bottle of whiskey, sip along and Make It A Happy Friday™!
