The Hard Proof isn’t just a show about spirits and alcohol, it’s a gathering place for people who appreciate the stories, the craft, and the culture woven through the bottles we pour and the memories we share.
Created as a resource for Patton House members and all curious spirits fans, the show goes well beyond tasting notes and bottle talk. It’s where conversations about rare bourbons blend into ... more

This is the long awaited reincarnation of the Blue Collar Bourbon Show. They set out to create an unpretentious bourbon podcast, but regrettably churned out an unpolished and unentertaining hot mess. Sorry. Not sorry.
Is it possible to have too much fun? Not for you guys. Great show
Over the last two months I’ve listened to all 300 episodes and I’ve enjoyed every one of them. I’ve found a lot of great value bourbons thanks to JP, JD, and D Rock. They’re very entertaining and unpretentious. I’ve recommended this show to all of my friends who drink whiskey.
JP’s attempt at trashing an episode always makes me laugh. I really like his Wild Card antics. I particularly enjoyed the end of this episode’s conversation about adding water or ice to wheated whiskey. I usually drink my whiskey neat, but I’ve been drinking my wheaters cold (no ice, using a special frozen gel cup) and have found I enjoy them better that way. Keep up the great info and fun episodes. Cheers, guys!
This show is awesome, almost as good of a listen as the pours. Thanks guys. I’m not mad at it.
