The boys are back! Jon and Zack reunite after a long deserved break to review Hidden Still Ready To Drink Cocktails. While drinking tonight, the guys discuss the hard topics.

Mostly to other people. Maybe even a little to himself. But, hey, it’s a podcast. That’s the only time it’s socially acceptable to talk to yourself. Anyway, have a …

Another week another whiskey. Jon and Zack come together to taste Driftless Glen Straight Bourbon. In this episode you’ll be thinking ‘Isn’t this a podcast about whiskey?

Another week, another guest! Jon has his good friend Steve Ruperto this week, as they try the Tenth Ward Smoked Bourbon.
