Ep. 91: A Legendary Pairing with Pursuit United Malloy’s Single Barrel and Herradura Legend Anejo

Ep. 97: A Beautiful Blind Blanco Blind 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™!

Ep. 94: Hedonistic Herbaceousness featuring Sazerac Rye 125 Proof and Centinela Reposado (Tall Bottle)

Welcome, and Happy Friday!  The Boys are enjoying their Friday talking about alternatives to getting a Handy and the glory of old shelf bottles of tequila… it’s probably not what you think. Matt brings a fairly newer bottle - Sazerac Rye 125 proof. Drew brings a bottle of Centinela Reposado - the “tall bottle” from the early 2000’s (or older?). Find the moment where Matt dismisses Drew’s opinions, and the moment where Drew shares his tequila origins story (and later, some intestinal tendencies). They don’t know for sure if the Sazerac Rye 125 is a viable alternative to a Thomas H. Handy BTAC Rye, and they don’t know if Centinela Reposado has additives. All they know is that they like them. Isn’t that enough? Despite one spirit being fairly new and the other fairly old and despite one spirit being hi-proof and the other only 80 proof, the QuickSips™ were absolutely phenomenal and we invite you to find these spirits (or find your own rye and repo), invite your friends, listen and sip along and Make It a Happy Friday!™

Ep. 93: Perfect Proofy Partnerships with Octomore 15.1 Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky and Villa Lobos Distillation Strength Blanco Tequila

Happy Friday, y'all!  For today's show, The Boys pair a whiskey that was a gift from Matt’s brother (thanks Josh!) and a blanco that has been sitting on Drew’s shelf for a long time. The Octomore 15.1 Islay Single Malt is high-proof, loaded with peat smoke (108 ppm) and tons of flavor. The 110 proof Villa Lobos Blanco is full of passion, history, and amazing flavors. The QuickSips™ are epic and the laughs are contagious.  Both of these bottles are harder to find, but don't let that stop you.  Grab a high proof scotch and a high proof tequila, invite your friends, listen and sip along, and Make It A Happy Friday!™
