Phantom Kangaroos

Mark and Rob fall down a kangaroo rabbit hole after spotting the boxing 'roo on a bottle of Larrikin Bourbon. From jellybean-sized joeys and deadly kicks to phantom kangaroo sightings in places that definitely are not Australia, this one hops all over the map before landing back in Kentucky. The guys share their first impressions of Larrikin’s 8-year bottled in bond bourbon, unpack the Aussie slang behind the name, and dig into the story of founder Greg Keeley, who served in both the Royal Australian Navy and the U.S. Navy.

The Blanton’s Episode At Last

In this Whiskey@Work pour, Rob and Mark finally crack open Blanton’s after more than 260 episodes and give it the spotlight it probably knew it deserved all along. They get into the life of Albert Bacon Blanton, the Kentucky colonel who climbed from teenage distillery worker to the guy steering Buffalo Trace through prohibition, the Depression, floods and war. The guys talk warehouse H, single barrel quirks, why Japan gets its own Blanton’s, and how every one of those squat little bottles can hit your glass a bit differently. They taste a regular Blanton’s single barrel next to Blanton’s Gold,...

Toasted to Perfection

Rob and Mark crack open Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Heritage Barrel Toasted Barrel and dive into what makes a barrel toasted vs. charred, from Roman casks and medieval coopers to the alligator char and modern finishing moves. Michter’s, Elijah Craig, Woodford, Westland, and St. Augustine all make cameos while the guys geek out on hemicellulose, lignin, and the sweet “mouth-hug” results: creamy vanilla, caramel, banana bread vibes, a little crème brûlée. Laughs, lore, and a pour that might become your new favorite. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Drinking with Dragons

The hunt is over. After five years of chasing down a bottle, Mark and Rob finally crack open Dragon’s Milk Bottled in Bond, a bourbon born from one of the most legendary barrel aged stouts in craft beer. From Michigan brewers to whiskey makers, New Holland Brewing’s journey sparks a wild conversation that drifts from cinnamon spiced tasting notes to ancient dragon myths and movie nostalgia. It’s a whiskey adventure wrapped in fire, folklore, and a little chaos, the way dragons and good bourbon should be. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

BOO(ze)

Rob and Mark slide into spooky season with a glass in hand and tales that raise neck hairs. From Prohibition’s poisoned hooch and the Jake Leg shuffle to radiator‐still lore, cursed “blind barrels,” and that clingy whiskey fungus, it’s all here. The guys also dive into the angels’ share, the devil’s cut, and why some barrels seem to keep a little soul for themselves. Halloween vibes, warm pours, zero snobbery. Hosted on Acast.

The Beast of Dufftown

This one started as payback. A friend drained Mark’s rare Redbreast bottle, so naturally the guys tracked down a Scotch he loves and drank it on air. That Scotch? Mortlach 16, the Beast of Dufftown. From a medieval churchyard in the Highlands to the mad genius who built its six stills and invented the mysterious “2.81 distillation,” this story winds through battles, blenders, and the birth of Glenfiddich. By the end, they raise a glass to the Wee Witchie, the science of Scotch, and a toast that’s equal parts revenge and reverence. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

John Fitzgerald: Agent or Outlaw?

Mark and Rob settle in with Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond 7-Year, tracing the bourbon’s colorful history from John E. Fitzgerald’s legendary “private stash” to why this wheated classic still stands out today. Along the way, the guys trade a few travel stories and plenty of laughs, but the spotlight stays on the caramel, toffee, and smooth finish of Old Fitz. Hosted on Acast.

A Wee Bit Over Served

Pack your bags and maybe a liver or two because Whiskey@Work went international. From Rob’s first ever trip overseas to Houston’s nonstop chatter, the guys covered ground from Inverness to Edinburgh with a pit stop in London. Along the way they sipped drams at Glenfiddich, Tomatin, Benromach, GlenAllachie, Cardhu, Glen Garioch, and Holyrood. They ducked into countless pubs, wandered castles that have seen centuries of history, and braved ghost tours in bone stacked graveyards. This episode is equal parts whiskey, travel, and chaos served neat from Scotland. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
