About this episode
This is one of my favorite types of episodes because this bourbon world is full of hype, flops, superstitions, and just weird stuff. We return to this beloved format of is something over, under, or properly rated. We ask if the iconic cocktail, the Old Fashioned, whiskey collections, MGP, cigar blends, speakeasies and more as we ask are these over, under, or properly rated?
Show Notes:
The Old Fashioned vs. Manhattan: cocktail preferences of whiskey enthusiasts
Scotch: overrated or properly rated?
Discussing MGP’s role in the market: reputation vs. reality
The evolution of whiskey collections and wise collecting practices
Cigar blends: a trend or a genuine innovation?
Light whiskey: its place in the greater whiskey landscape
The value of tasting flights and the allure of speakeasy bars
