WTF - Whiskey Tequila Fridays Podcast

Ep. 11: It’s About Damn Time: Colonel E.H. Taylor Small Batch and Fortaleza Blanco

Have you ever looked back on a project and said: “What took so long?”  That is this episode.
The boys bring two of their favorite bottles—the bottles that all other bottles are judged against.  Matt shares The Colonel E.H. Taylor Small Batch and Drew brings Fortaleza Blanco.  And they both agree: It’s about damn time!
Matt tells us all about the colorful character and innovator that was The Colonel E.H. Taylor, and especially the first piece of food legislation in the US: The Bottled in Bond Act of 1897.  (We had whiskey legislation before we had the USDA or FDA!)
Drew tells a few stories about Fortaleza, suggests everyone checks out The Agave Social Club podcast for more history, and we review the Taste Tequila / Tequila Matchmaker Confirmed Additive Free program.
The QuickSips™ are magical.  Vanilla and Brine?  Yep.  Olives and Caramel?  Yep.  And they’re delicious?  YEP!
We read a listener review, tease some future episodes, and marvel at the beauty within these two spirits!
Want a Happy Friday?  Pick up these bottles!

Ep. 10: 2 Damn Hyped: Buffalo Trace Bourbon and Patron Silver Tequila

Today, the Boys bring two bottles with plenty of hype: 
Buffalo Trace Bourbon is so hyped that you can’t find it anywhere.
Patron Silver Tequila is so hyped that you can find it literally everywhere.
Matt recalls regretful (ragretful?) fashion choices of the early 90’s as Drew predicts Kanye’s downfall a full two weeks before it happened.
The Boys try something new and record this one early morning, because they double down on the hype with a special cocktail mixer that qualifies as breakfast food.  And this is one time the cocktails make the show!
So, get your ticket for the Hype Train!  Buy a bottle of Buffalo Trace Bourbon, a bottle of Patron Silver Tequila, and a bottle of our special mixer.  Pour them at breakfast time with some tamales and fried eggs and make it a Happy Friday!

Ep. 9: Pumpkins and Orange Marmalade: Bulleit Bourbon Single Barrel and Pasote Anejo

This week the boys bring two great finds: The Bulleit Bourbon Single Barrel (a Malloy's store pick) and Pasote Anejo from NOM 1579.
Matt lets us behind the curtain of a barrel pick and introduces us to an incredibly creepy Uncle.
Drew drops a Golden Girls reference that 3 people will get while Matt flexes his 780 verbal score.
We review really bad movies that, for some reason, we can't stop watching.
Oh, and we find endless Pumpkin and Orange Marmalade flavors when we QuickSip™ these delicious, glorious bottles.
Find the Pasote from 1579 and a Bulleit store pick at your local retailer and make it a Happy Friday!

Ep 8: The Cognac Cask Caper: The Glenlivet 14 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky and Tequila Ocho Anejo Continental Barrel Select

This week, the boys continue with more finished spirits. Episode 8 features Glenlivet 14 and Tequila Ocho Continental, two great sippers that are aged in Cognac Casks.  Matt brings a surprise bottle to prime the taste buds, and the QuickSip™ reveals that it's hard to top perfection.
The Glenlivet is readily available, the Ocho Continental is out there, but you have to hunt around.  Two great bottles that are worth the time, money, and effort!

Ep. 7: Sherry Baby: Sexton, Legent, Glendronach 12 and Patron Anejo Sherry Cask

Sherry, Sherry Baby...  The boys go all-in on Sherry Cask Aging!  Matt brings 3 "Sherry Bomb" Whiskeys: Sexton Single Malt Irish Whiskey, Legent Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, and Glendronach 12 Year Single Malt Scotch, and Drew brings the once-per-four-years release 2021 Patron Anejo Sherry Cask (still available on the shelves, but you have to look around).
We play a Joby Holland original song: "The Days Go By"  You can find it on the youtubes: https://youtu.be/DpzK3WjTtcI
 

Ep 6: Hunting Treasures: Heaven Hill Bottled in Bond and El Tesoro Olive Oil Platinum

This week the boys share some trophies found during their hunting expedition in The 'Burbs.  They had to Castaway 79 minutes of a Big Tom Hanks tangent- basically a Green Mile of movie Geekdom.  This created an Inferno of abrupt audio cuts.  But don't worry, in a future episode these two Ladykillers will be sure to Post a long Toy Story from Splash to Pinocchio with plenty of great Punchline(s).
So for now, enjoy two bottles that are hunting Bosom Buddies: Heaven Hill BiB and El Tesoro Platinum in the Olive Oil bottle.

Ep 5: Isn’t That Special? - Wilderness Trail Single Barrel and Tequila Ocho Puntas

The boys bring a few special bottles: A Wilderness Trail Single Barrel from Matt's trip to Kentucky and limited release Tequila Ocho Puntas.  Recorded just days after James Caan's death, we reference his height, which leads of course to further tangents.  Matt geeks out on Malloy's Store Picks and The Wheaton Whiskey Club and the Quick Sips™ are hot and glorious!

Ep 4: Hunting Finds: Rebel 100 and Espanita Anejo

The boys share a few bottles they found while out hunting, and take a deep dive into additives in tequila.  Drew lies about being a Sagittarius and Matt totally abuses the Hype Horn.

Ep 3: Random Picks: Driftless Glen Single Barrel Rye & El Tequileño Reposado Gran Reserva

The boys sample two random picks from their collection, make vague references to billiard balls, explain single barrel expressions, mention nuance around 15:00, there's a "Hot Dog!" at 18:30 and seemingly endless discussion of Laurence Fishburne. These bottles are available everywhere, so grab one of each, listen along, and make it a Happy Friday!
