The Whiskey Tapes

TWT | Episode 5 | Brian Rathbun

Welcome back! This is Episode 5 of The Whiskey Tapes! Today we’re talking to Brian Rathbun. This was our first podcast recorded outside of the basement on location, in Brian’s woodshop. My first exposure to Brian was his outspoken nature at several town meetings and I didn't want to pass up the opportunity for a dram and some conversation with this long time local and retired patternmaker. Brian and I sample the Distiller’s Select Woodford reserve Kentucky Straight Rye whiskey. This is my first time drinking rye, and even at 45.2% alcohol volume it was one of the smoother whiskeys we've sampled to date. Stay up to date on future episodes on https://www.thewhiskeytapes.com.

TWT | Episode 4 | Dan Meyer | Pt 1

On this episode of The Whiskey Tapes, we sit down with Dan Meyer and a bottle of Knob Creek. Following a career playing in the major leagues with the Marlins, the Braves and Oakland, Dan is now a pitching coach for the Atlanta Braves. In the off season, Dan comes back to his wife’s home town of North Stonington, spending time raising their two kiddos. Our usual one hour discussion ran about 4 hours on tape, where we discussed baseball, parenting, kids and technology, politics and he asked me some questions about our Airstream travels. I have cut down the discussion into 2 one hour episodes. Our dram this winter evening is Knob Creek’s “unflinching balance of deep, old-style flavor with a natural oak sweetness.” It is 100 proof, full flavor, honest Pre-Prohibition style bourbon whiskey.

Join Dan and I now on this next episode of The Whiskey Tapes!
