Great, entertaining and informative! …. But it’s reposado not respoado, just saying…lol
Great review of history of Nearest Green with Fawn Weaver!!!
The podcast itself is informative and they have great interviews. I’ve been introduced to so many different brands and learned a lot about bourbon and other American whiskey by listening. The real amazing part is the community that goes along with the podcast. If you want to get involved further they make is so easy and approachable! I’ve recommended this podcast to people in real life so I may as well do it here too! If you like whiskey this podcast is a great listen!
The interviews are thoughtful and insightful, and the content is great for both beginners and enthusiasts alike! I don’t have much time to listen to podcasts, but when I do, this is the number one option in my book!
The best conversations with distilleries I’ve ever heard. The Dads Hat and Kings County interviews are both superb.
