"Bull Run; Crowd Work"
Manage episode 418205634 series 3553500
Flannel shirts and fine whiskey—sounds like the start of a joke, but trust me, it's the recipe for our latest laugh-out-loud podcast episode. We kick things off with a nod to television's golden era, trading quips and reminiscing about classic characters who've become like old friends. Soon after, we whisk you away to the heart of Crystal Lake, Illinois, to the whiskey connoisseur's haven that is Garfield's. Here, we uncover the secrets behind their selective whiskey offerings, delve into their customer-centric barrel picks, and take you through a tasting adventure with Bull Run Distilling Company's American whiskey. Aged for 16 years and finished in sherry barrels, this spirit challenges the very definition of bourbon with its rich plum notes and a smoothness that will make you forget the burn of ethanol altogether.
The second glass is just as thrilling, as we explore a whiskey with such a smoky finish, it evokes the essence of a Cajun-seasoned Thanksgiving turkey. Imagine the audacity of a deep-fried, chocolate-covered cherry—now that's a comparison to our featured whiskey's bold and unexpected profile. We share the anticipation around the limited bottles from a 16-year barrel and wax poetic about the transformative impact of those extra 14 months in sherry casks. Sit back and savor the stories, from family photo blunders to the intricacies of whiskey aging, all served with a side of hearty chuckles. No guests needed in this episode, just your favorite hosts serving up a double shot of humor and whiskey wisdom.
