Oh boy!
This is a great one if you are a whiskey nerd. This week, Mike and Tom welcome Robert "Bobby" Burns (from the Forest Hills Station House and the soon-to-be-opened Astorian) who is as passionate about whiskey as anyone we know. He brings a sampling of 7 different whiskeys- from scotches to bourbons to ryes. He even cracks open, for the first time, a 35-year-old bottle of Jim Beam commemorating D-day that he found in an antique shop.
Bobby talks about how to properly drink whiskey, the differences between different types of scotch, rye, and bourbons. He talks about the American whiskey revolution and how whiskeys from the US are far more interesting and diverse than ones from more traditional distilling countries.
Some of my favorite things from today's podcast are:
By the way, it took me over 2 weeks to edit this. It got more and more "rambly" as we drank. The hardest part about editing was trying not to consume all of the whiskey in my house while doing it. Don't take it from me, within 20 minutes of listening, you'll be craving that aged, amber, woodsy, spirit. Cheers!
