The PodCask: a Podcast About Whiskey

To complete our trilogy of Pick Your Pick games provided by our buddy and magician Ty Gallenbeck, we taste through 4 samples of high proof bourbon to try and find the same picked by us. In this case, it's the blend created at WWB4 by Will, Dixon Dedman, James Smith, Chad Perkins, and Dan Shook. Then, after the 15, we try Jim Beam Lineage. This is a 15 year old limited release from Jim Beam at 111 proof.

Barrel Club: http://OakandThieves.com Will and Greeze play a game sent to them from their buddy, Ty Gallenbeck. It's called "pick your pick." They try 4 single barrels and try to figure out which one is a barrel pick they had previously selected. This hidden pick is an Eagle Rare called Bed Pour. Then, after the 15, they try a single barrel rye from Copper Sky out of Colorado and give it the Buy, Bar, Pass treatment

Barrel Club: http://OakandThieves.com Will and Greeze went live to celebrate crossing 6,000 YouTube subscribers, announce a new barrel pick available through Oak and Thieves, and pay a game sent to them by their friend Ty Gallenbeck. Hope you enjoy go order that RY3!

Will and Greeze were sent a Stranahan's Blue Peak by longtime listener Brian (he also sent Will some flies to fish with, so he skyrocketed to the top of the best listener's chart).
