| 10/17/22 |  Jeff Duckhorn from Redwood Empire | This is my conversation with Jeff Duckhorn, Master Distiller from Redwood Empire. We talk about the short history of the brand, its rise to an almost cult status Whiskey brand, and what the future holds for Redwood Empire. We also discuss some of the other projects that are happening at the distillery, such as Benhams Gin and some other cool Whiskies. This may be the highlight of my Spirits life. I cannot thank Jeff enough for taking the time to do this with me. | — | ||||||

| 3/18/22 |  Episode 7 -State of Bourbon Part 1 | On this episode I express my thoughts on the current landscape of the Bourbon Universe. I don't mean to take shots at anything or anyone, just to bring some perspective and hopefully stimulate some dialogue. And it turns out that my thoughts and ramblings went on so long that I had to dive this episode up in to 2 parts. If you think I'm right, if you think I am wrong, or if you think I'm just plain crazy, at least you are thinking, which means I've done my job. By the way, if you were thinking about listening to this one in the car with your kids in the backseat, don't. Turns out there are a few earmuff moments in this one.

| 3/11/22 | Episode 6 - St. George Spirits | On this episode I decided to give you guys a glimpse in to what happens during a normal interaction between myself and a brand rep when they come in to pitch me on products.
