Send Whiskey | It Gets Weird Sometimes

Kraig Weaver, Co-Founder of The Block Distilling Co. joined us this week to get nerdy about the science that has gone into their choices for everything from their unique barrel selections to their interesting mash bills.

If you're ever in Denver, be sure to stop by their tasting room. It's truly a work of art in every aspect.

Matt Dutton, our newest Twist & Tailor member joins us to talk about what it's like moving out from behind the bar into a new career.

Bartenders find it hard, sometimes, to continue behind the bar for too long, before they get physically and mentally worn out. We talk about ways that bars can make the careers more sustainable, as well as the trends of what bartenders do when they hit that point.

If you have thoughts on the matter, hit us up on instagram, instagram.com/send.whiskey and let us know.

Evren's back for more shitty whiskey!

In this episode, Evren Bora joins us for another fun and ridiculous shitty whiskey tasting.

We dove deep  into tasting notes, including describing a whiskey as the smell of corn livestock feed left outside a barn right after rain... You know, whiskey nerd stuff.

We did not name brands because it's all subjective and all in good fun. We just tasted some downright shitty whiskey and shared our thoughts... And laughed a good bit along the way.

Listen to the end, and you get to hear stories of both Evren and Andi stabbing themselves with knives...

Cheers, y'all.

On this episode, we got to talk to Bill Atkinson and Timothy Cozzi of Golden Age Spirits about their rum. A lot of thought went into their branding, packaging, and the ethos behind what they do. You can hear their passion about what they're up to, and we'd like to think you can taste it in the rum, as well.

This is also our first rum that we've had the chance of talking about on the podcast, and we're fans. Definitely check it out! You can get 20% off your order at goldenagespirits.com with code MAKEYERMARQUE.

On this episode, we had the pleasure of talking with Warren Bobrow, author of The Craft Cocktail Compendium. He has an eclectic background, and his current unraveling story is just as varied and fun. We talked about his experience in the craft cocktail world, as well as his new beverage brand he's launching, Klaus.

We also had a sponsored tasting segment with The Walter Collective Navy Gin, and Drew Stevens of Green Russell in Denver, CO joined us. Nemo made a fun cocktail with the gin, and as promised, the recipe is as follows:
