Ep 127 The Jim Murray Vulgarity. A Conversation on Sexism in Whiskey

As we come to an end in our first ever Pappy Hunt, we reflect on the last few weeks and after the most recent news of the Bars in Texas STILL on lockdown, we wonder if there is light at the end of this tunnel. 

This past week a firestorm broke out over Jim Murray's Whiskey Bible. His reviews are under fire with accusations of sexism and lewd vocabulary.

Many on social media defending his as not being sexist but just cringe worthy. 
Either way this issue hint at a deeper issue within the industry and today we are joined by three women to discuss sexism and misogyny within the whiskey world and how to move forward. 

What are some of the ways the industry can show  and attract a larger female audience without pandering to stereotypes. 

Blair and Janet from the Whiskey Women Podcast and Dusti Rhodes joins me for a chat on the subject over a few drinks.

A good time was had by all.

Ep 125 Antony Starr talks "The Boys" Season 2

The Boys on Amazon Prime blew away all expectations and largely because of the complicated and pragmatic psychopath that is Homelander.

This week I sit down with Antony Starr for a few drinks and a pour from his birthday bottle, a 1975 IW HARPER.
We talk the insanely perfect show that was Banshee and of course dive deep into season 2 of The Boys and how it has RAILROADED him to a massive and obsessive fandom. 

Antony is a great guy and if I have learned to GAUGE anything is surely on the right TRACK to stardom.

Ep 114 The most Adventurous brewery in Texas. Ingenious.

This week we see the return of Ingenious founder, Justin Gyorfi. 

We talk about the wild ride Ingenious has been through over the last couple of years as arguably Texas's most adventurous brewery. 

Let me be clear, there are plenty of progressive, ground breaking breweries in Houston but no one, I repeat, no one is thinking outside the box like Ingenious.

For better or worse, no one is having more fun and to be honest... I love it. I love the mindset. I love the motivation. I love the journey.

Ep 111 What happens when you stop focusing on the word Bourbon? Lone Elm Wheat Whiskey

In a recent article of Texas Monthly I was ask to provide my input on some of the best whiskies coming out of Texas.

Ep 110 On the Subject of Guns in Facebook Whiskey Groups.

For Years, Social Media has been a place for us to post pictures of our hobbies. Grilling, Shoes, Food, Whiskey, Cigars...... Guns.

The Subject of Guns and Booze being pictured together is a hot topic with strong feelings on all sides of the argument. 

Today We sit down and discuss how Todd and I feel personally on this phenomenon and how we handle it in Houston Bourbon Society.

Ep 98 Simple but profound: The Specs/ HBS Mega Barrel Drop.

Please, if you understand any part of this episode, understand this. 

This episode we spend a significant amount of time talking about this incredible event last Saturday and how well it was executed and its ripple effect in the Facebook world quickly after.
This is not meant as a bragging point in any way for anything HBS has done but rather a thank you to Specs for this incredible event that has taken a long time to come to fruition. 

Anything said on the subject is coming directly 1st hand and is meant to simply be positive and remarking on something that is simply remarkable. 
Take it at face value and if you are in HBS. BE thankful.

This week, We sit down with Long time BOURBON friends, Todd and Mike for a simple but effective bottle share following an incredible event this past weekend with Specs in Houston. 

A fun time was had by all.

Ep 94 How easy is a DWI. An experiment with a little help from the Police.

How easy is it to legally be drunk? Surprisingly easy. Shockingly so. A DWI in Texas is on average a $10,000 uphill battle and a Job killer and for the Whiskey Hobbyist it's something we should really be aware of.

The rule of thumb is 1- 1oz drink 80 proof per hour, your body can process.

Well, how exactly does that work in a hobby where the standard pour size is atleast 1.5 oz and a significantly higher ABV than 80 proof.

This week we sit down with SGT Hill of the Deer Park Police department and 2 test subjects and we drink the average serving in 1.5 hours and test their BAC for the legal limit....the results, may surprise you.

There the Whisky Creations Team apply their crafts; to age, finish, blend and bottle unique statements of the greatest Scottish whiskies born of raw casks from the greatest Scotch Distilleries past and present. Are these expressions of legendary whiskies a result of art, science, or perhaps a little of both? Discover Inspired Scotch Whiskies from Murray McDavid.

Our last Sponsor is THE official Sponsor of Whiskey Neat, Balcones- In 2008, Balcones was nothing more than an idea driven by a passion to create something original and authentic. Focusing on ingredients and process, they breathed new life into hundreds of years of distilling traditions, earning them worldwide recognition for their whiskies. You can pick up their whiskies at your local liquor store, or if you're a retailer, reach out to your Southern Glazers representative."
