2024-05-06 Texas Rye Whiskey Tournament, Bracket#3. Both of these rye whiskeys are at 116 proof, but... I am NOT a proof hound, soooo.... is this proof going to obscure the flavors? And there is a problem with the availability and cost here...which one will win?

2024/04/29 Some surprises in this episode!

2024/04/27 If you are paying attention to the news, and have studied the Bible about the judgments of God upon nations that rebel against Him, and if you are even remotely interested in prepping and surviving the Collapse of civilization, these books are for you. Should be required reading for every politician in America.

2024-04-22 One of these is a ghost whiskey, both are from Indiana, so how are these two Texas Ryes?

2024-04-08 Whiskey Comparison #11. Blantons is world famous, but hard to obtain, while the Tarnished Truth is from a small distillery in Virginia Beach, VA and is regional. But at $49.99 a bottle at the distillery, this bourbon is very good, similar to Blantons in many ways, and is affordable.

2024/04/01 This episode had a couple of surprises! One mistake: The Iron Wolf is NOT a Single Barrel.

2024/03/27 Celebrating International Whisk(e)y Day!

2024/03/18 St. Patrick's Day Edition... Two fine Irish whiskeys going head to head. I am not much for Irish whiskey, but these two are two of my favorites for sure. But which one will I drink 3 out of 5 times? It's a close competition but the winner is....

A fictionalized analysis of the coming war. Move along... nothing to see here... sit down & shut up... Your government hates you.

2024-03-08 This thriller involves an Iranian sleeper cell, biological warfare, political intrigue and the heroics of James Reece, ex-Navy SEAL, now CIA agent.

2024-02-26 We have a Champion (of Bracket #2) Best Rye Whiskey in Texas? Maybe...

2024-02-23 This concludes the semi-finals of the Texas Rye Whiskey Tournament. Both whiskeys are amazing, but one had to win.

2024-02-08 This is my favorite book, and my wife and I just finished reading it together so here are a few thoughts.

2024-02-06 One of these whiskeys has the Texas Funk, the other one has a proof advantage, is a finished whiskey, and this is the Texas Rye Whiskey Tournament, Bracket#2, Semi-Finals.

This book is amazing! 10 out of 10! This is a blow by blow account of how "Clovis First" was toppled.

2024-01-04 This 86 proof vs. 100 proof contest ought to be easy, right? Nope. This whiskeys are brothers but are very different....

2023/12/27 If you want a premium Texas Bourbon without the Funk, go with Blackland Prairie Gold! Bold flavors, caramel popcorn, cinnamon, cherry coughdrop...and the subtle flavor of Triticale, a hybrid between wheat and rye. This grain to glass Texas whiskey is a flavor feast! When my wife came home, she said it smelled like popcorn... it was this bourbon!

2023-12-19 The Evan Williams Single Barrel seems to be limited to Kentucky and Japan now, so this is likely the last bottle for me.

2023/12/14 The Evan Williams line is clearly one of my favorites, but which one is my favorite?

The Texas Rye Whiskey Tournament continues with Bracket#2, Elite8, Match#3 on 2023/12/10.

This is a story that must be told. It deserves to be placed into verse, and recited around a campfire while dangerous men are heating their rations, preparing for battle....

2023/11/29 Both of these whiskeys have some labeling issues: where are they actually distilled? One of these bottles is now a ghost whiskey...out of production. Both of these are very good but which one would I drink 3 out of 5 times? Do either of these have the Texas funk?
