When you need your whiskey news, distilled down to 30 minutes or less Clifton is my go to. Fast and fun bites of news that fit into a short commute served weekly for season two on Thursdays.
The mix of insight into the gaming and whiskey worlds, as well as the excitement and energy for bringing youthfulness back to both of those worlds, is what makes Clifton’s podcast so much fun and enjoyable. The Bourbon Bytes Podcast is proof that there’s enough controller ports for multiplayers in this game. Keep it up, Cliffy! I’m ready for another round!!!
My husband and I started getting into bourbon when we were quarantined after testing positive for Covid in January. 11 months and probably 200+ bottles later, we’re now fully obsessed with Whiskey-Tube and the broad spectrum of opinions. My tastes seem to fall in line most with Cliffy - so each Thursday I would look forward to the bottle/s he would review. Now I can listen more often! Does this mean I need to buy more bottles too?
