Dave n H taste and celebrate the new Peerless 10-year Henry Craver edition, describing its stunning colour, rich mouthfeel and tasting notes like citrus, marmalade, coconut, vanilla and caramel. They discuss the bottle’s limited release, the queue at the distillery, and why this bourbon has a devoted following.

The episode also explores Peerless’s craft approach—sweet mash, barrel-proof bottlings and Corky Taylor’s commitment to quality—plus personal anecdotes about sourcing the bottle and why it’s hard to find outside Kentucky.

This episode dives into George Remus Straight Bourbon Whiskey — a widely available bottle that seriously overdelivers for the price.

We break down:

• Why MGP whiskey has become so respected
• What makes this a standout value bottle
• And the wild story behind George Remus himself

From pharmacist to criminal lawyer to “King of the Bootleggers,” Remus’ story is one of the most fascinating in bourbon history — and possibly even inspired The Great Gatsby.

A great mix of accessible bourbon, great value, and one hell of a story.

This episode dives into Virginia Black American Whiskey — a bottle backed by Drake that raises more questions than answers.

It’s not labelled as bourbon. It’s distilled in Indiana. It’s darker than it should be for its age.

So what’s actually going on?

We break down:

• What likely sits behind the liquid (MGP sourcing)
• Why it doesn’t qualify as bourbon
• Whether flavouring or finishing is involved
• And why, despite all that… it’s actually pretty enjoyable

This is a great example of judging a bottle too early — and being proven wrong.
