The PodCask: a Podcast About Whiskey

Will and Greeze are joined by Jeff Arnett, the Master Distiller at the Jack Daniel Distillery, for a conversation and tasting. Jeff led the guys through a virtual tasting of Gentleman Jack, Jack Daniel's Single Barrel, Old No. 7, and Sinatra Select, but not before giving them a master class on the distillery and whiskey in general. It's a fun ride and we're thankful to Jeff for joining us this week. To support the show, visit Patreon.com/thepodcask and receive exclusive content!

Owen Klein from Hardee's came over to hang out and share some food and whiskey. He brought over the BFC Burger, a Monster Biscuit, and a Double Western Burger. He also brought over some Old Fourth Distillery Bottled in Bond. It was arguably the Greeze's best day of his life.
