Murdina's back from her "fieldwork," doing espionage for the government (which government, we're not sure.) We're drinking a 15 year Glen Moray Elgin Heritage series, which is a gluggable whisky, especially if you like 'em easy drinkin' and a Spey as the day is long. We cover a lot of ground in this episode, but most of it is insane. You've been wa…

Jesus and Murdina drink and discuss their first Tennessee whiskey on the show, the not-to-be-taken-lightly Jack Daniels Single Barrel Barrel Proof. Sure, they cover the basics: what's a Tennessee whisky, why isn't this a bourbon, and tell you the tragic story of how you can't do tastings at the Jack Daniels distillery, but they cover a lot of other…

In this special episode of Drink with Me, Murdina and Jesus are joined by Dan Rutstein, co-host of the United States of Dramerica podcast. It's a podcast about the affect of atmospheric ozone on the uptake of oxygen in...just kidding. It's about whisky. Dan chose the whisky and picked one of Jesus's absolute favorites, Aberlour 12. They cover a lot…

After a hiatus related primarily to Murdina's mysterious nighttime activities involving a shovel and a flashlight, Jesus and Murdina are back! Go get yourself a Japanese dark chocolate Kit Kat (with 'adult sweetness') and a bottle of Nikka Coffey Grain Whisky, press play and drink along with us. (This all assumes you're legal of course.) Every word…

In this episode, Jesus and Murdina drink the Pot Still Texas Bourbon offering from one of their faves, Balcones! It's a high-rye (according to Jesus...no confirmation on mashbill from Balcones, but trust in Jesus on this one), grain-to-glass bourbon using real Texas Blue Corn, Texas Rye, Texas water and probably Texas glass for the bottles. It's a …

This time, Jesus and Murdina drink and discuss Glenmorangie Original. This is a very nice Scotch whisky from a great distillery, and you can tell because Jesus and Murdina seem to drink a lot of it. They walk you through the tasting, the whisky's history and whose probably going to like this whisky, and then proceed to explain the (totally fake) sc…

Join Jesus and Murdina as they drink Kilchoman (pronounced "kill-hoe-man") Machir Bay. They cover the fascinating story of the first new distillery on the island of Islay in 124 years, as they celebrate Feis Ile (the mega-festival on Islay), which they couldn't actually attend this year. They try not to let that make them bitter...and they succeed!…

At long last, Murdina returns from Flamenco Regionals (in Spain) so we can do this episode no. 17. Go get yourself a bottle of Redbreak Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey, Lustau Edition, a bit Toblerone bar, and, if you're feeling daffy, a bottle of Lustau Sherry! Then push 'play' and let the evening roll... In this episode, Murdina and Jesus establis…

This time, American Whisky Jesus and King Arthur are drinking Highland Park Valkyrie! This is a slightly smoky, super flavorful, knockout of a whisky from masterful hands of Highland Park. Orkney Island representin'! Arthur and Jesus openly have no chill about how good this whisky is. Highland Park is on Orkney, which is closer to Norway than Londo…

Back in October of 2018, I strongly recommended Henry McKenna 10 Year Bottled in Bond Bourbon on the podcast, and frankly, King Arthur and I we put down quite a bit of it. The big news this week was that that same little ol' $35 bottle of Bourbon was named "Best in Show, Whisky" at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Now listen. I don't th…

Episode 15. This time, Murdina and Jesus are drinking Maker's Mark Cask Strength Bourbon Whisky. After AWJ's recent trip to Kentucky and visits to 15 distilleries in Bourbon country, he and Murdina are talking bourbon. And drinking it too. After clearing up any basic confusion about bourbon vs scotch vs whisky, they move on to other exciting topics…

In this podcast, Murdina and Jesus drink and talk about The Macallan 12 Year Old Triple Cask Matured. Ironically, after plenty of Serious Whisky Talk to help you understand the ins and outs of this outstanding whisky, we are not all that Mature. Shenanigans ensue, including Tasting Notes composed entirely of emotions as well as a Dirty Limerick Con…

In this episode, Jesus and Murdina drink Colorado distiller Stranahan's Original Single Malt! This is a true American original, so naturally Murdina brings in Haribo Gummy Bears as the candy pairing. We cover a lot of ground before breaking down into some nonsense, including what it means to be a single malt and/or an American single malt, why Murd…

In this episode, Murdina and Jesus drink Springbank 10 Year Old Scotch Malt Whisky, the first Campbeltown whisky in the Drink with Me podcast and the first whisky selected by Murdina herself. Shockingly, Jesus and Murdina start with Serious Whisky Talk, educating themselves and you on Campbeltown, its history, what it means to be distilled 2 and a …

Thank you for drinking with us in 2018! This is a special, double episode. I'm joined by Murdina AND Arthur, and we're drinking a couple whiskies that I think you'll love, candy pairings for each one, and some special extra treats, recommendations, shout outs to fans, and more... In the first half, we drink Glen Grant 18. It's a bit of a splurge bu…

It's time to drink with me (American Whisky Jesus) and my friend and whisky sidekick Murdina Flummery! This time (if you're legal), go get yourself a bottle of Crown Royal's Northern Harvest Rye and drink along with us as we spout Whisky Wisdom mixed with quite a lot of amusing nonsense. This whisky was named World Whisky of the Year by Jim Murray,…

In this episode, American Whisky Jesus and fan favorite, Murdina Flummery drink Jameson Irish Whiskey Caskmates, Stout Edition. This is the Jameson with a finish in a Stout barrel. We cover a lot of ground, including explaining Triple Distilling and what difference it makes, we imagine what Star Trek would be like if Scotty had been Irish instead o…

Join me and King Arthur as we drink and discuss Henry McKenna 10 Year Old Bottled-in-Bond Straight Bourbon Whisky. Our first bourbon on the podcast, Henry McKenna is the Rick Astley of Bourbon, in that he won't give you up, let you down, run around or dessert you. I fill in for Murdina (who's on her annual skydiving trip) with the candy pairing, Ar…

In this episode of drink with me, we're having Aberlour's very interesting and exciting A'bunadh. It's got one of the best Whisky Origin Stories out there, including a tale of true knuckle-headedness from the 70s. Murdina and I cover a lot of ground, including the correct pronunciation of "neanderthal," which extinct animal we'd most like to eat (M…

The first peated whisky we've done on the podcast, the Ardbeg 10 is going to knock your socks off. If you're not wearing socks, put some on, because they're going to get knocked off...seriously, though Murdina and I invite you (if you're legal) to buy yourself a bottle of Ardbeg 10, get a couple glasses and a couple friends and Drink with Us! We ta…

Before you hit Play, head down to your favorite spirits purveyor and pick up a bottle of Kaiyo Mizunara Oak Whisky. We are drinking the cask strength version, but I recommend you buy the non-cask strength version instead. Anyway, your pick. Oh, and stop by a 7/11 or something and pick up a Payday bar. Why, you ask? You'll find out. Murdina Flummery…

We drink the superb Bruichladdich Islay Barley 2010. Ah, you can taste the terroir! This week, Murdina ditched me and went on vacation, so I'm drinking with the never not funny Arthur. We get into a range of topics, including the planes, trains and automobiles it takes to get to Islay (where Bruichladdich is made), Arthur discovering surprising Rus…

A great American whisky to drink along with me (American Whisky Jesus) and Murdina Flummery on Independence Day (or whenever.) Go to your local fine purveyor of spirits, buy a bottle of Balcones Baby Blue Corn Whisky, and press play. In this episode...wasn't there a movie where a genius baby with a giant head ruled the world?...Our intern Jeffrey f…
