Waterford!
If you're familiar with the concept of Terroir in wine, you'll appreciate Mark Reynier's Waterford "Single Malt Whisky" from Ireland. Mark is combining his Scotch whisky and fine wine talents to produce an authentic series of Irish Single Malt Whiskies based on traditional wine industry principles. 

2021 Icons of Whisky - A brand innovator and Irish Distiller of the year - San Francisco World Spirits Competition Double Gold - one of 750com's Game Changers is proving that Waterford is indeed different.

How? Authenticity! The Terrior code on each bottle reveals the entire story of that whisky. Full disclosure, full traceability. 
100% pure Irish barley creates an intensity of flavor derived from exceptional steps in the distilling process. Waterford is gastronomic because it's honest.

• Waterford's Single Farm Origin is one farm, one whisky. The collection reveals the Terroir of each farm and its unique flavor profile.  
• Waterford's Arcadian series: Flavor through Agronomy - Organic Gaia and Biodynamic Luna - Single Malt Whiskies
• Waterford's hyper-rare Cuvée series: Flavor through complexity, layering components from several farms

Widely available across the US, visit our friends at  glassrev.com to discover "where to buy" this innovative, game-changing new single malt whisky.
Waterford - sometimes subtle, sometimes powerful, always unique.

Our last Sponsor is THE official Sponsor of Whiskey Neat, Balcones- In 2008, Balcones was nothing more than an idea driven by a passion to create something original and authentic.

I had the extreme pleasure of getting to sit down with the face of Bushmills, an Irishman with more charisma than an SNL Sketch with Alec Baldwin, Jack Ferris.
We sit down and taste through the core line of a classic Irish Single malt that has been distilling whiskey for longer than anyone else in the world.

I have often mentioned my appreciation for Bushmills and how I don't think they get quite the buzz they deserve in some circles. It was an honor and a pleasure.

This week!

We sit down for a series titled, HOW TO BECOME A WHISKEY EXPERT! with my good friend Barry Laminack.

We walk through how to taste because Barry thinks Whiskey Notes are made up!
So I put him through the Gauntlet and teach him HOW to taste.

Waterford! If you're familiar with the concept of Terroir in wine, you'll appreciate Mark Reynier's Waterford "Single Malt Whisky" from Ireland. Mark is combining his Scotch whisky and fine wine talents to produce an authentic series of Irish Single Malt Whiskies based on traditional wine industry principles. 
2021 Icons of Whisky - Brand innovator and Irish Distiller of the year - San Francisco World Spirits Competition Double Gold - one of 750com's Game Changers is proving that Waterford is indeed different.
How? Authenticity! The Terrior code on each bottle reveals the entire story of that whisky. Full disclosure, full traceability.  100% pure Irish barley creates an intensity of flavor derived from exceptional steps in the distilling process. Waterford is gastronomic because it's honest.

• Waterford's Single Farm Origin is one farm, one whisky. The collection reveals the Terroir of each farm and its unique flavor profile.  
• Waterford's Arcadian series: Flavor through Agronomy - Organic Gaia and Biodynamic Luna - Single Malt Whiskies
• Waterford's hyper-rare Cuvée series: Flavor through complexity, layering components from several farms

Widely available across the US, visit our friends at  glassrev.com to discover "where to buy" this innovative, game-changing new single malt whisky. Waterford - sometimes subtle, sometimes powerful, always unique.

This week we do our first ever, On air Barrel selection for the show. A cask Strength Single barrel, Unfiltered Rye from Pinhook.

I am joined by Sean Josephs, Founder of Pinhook Whiskey where we discuss the history behind the brand.

He was also nice enough to bring us some single barrel samples for us to choose from and of course, my garbage palate couldn’t do this alone so I am also joined by Darryl Bowman of Bad Wine Reviews to help decide.

We are slightly late this week but we are here! For several months now, one of the co-hosts of The incredible PODCASK podcast has been predicting a "Divisional Shift" coming to bourbon.

This week the hosts of the Podcask join me and the Bourbon Junkies return to debate the prediction.
The question is simply this. Is Greeze the Bourbon Prophet trying to warn us all of the impending doom in Bourbon? Or do I owe the Bourbon Junkies an Apology for forcing them to sit through this?

Time for you to decide. . .

Whiskey Neat is a Radio show on iTunes and ESPN 97.5 FM in Houston and is brought to you every week by the following sponsors.
SAGAMORE This week’s episode is brought to you by Sagamore Spirit Rye Whiskey. They are reviving the tradition of Maryland-style rye whiskey at their Baltimore farm and waterfront distillery. Each batch of their whiskey is hand-blended for consistency in aroma, flavor, and texture, creating a balanced flavor profile with notes of warm cinnamon, vanilla bean, honey, and spice. Find them online at Sagamore Spirit dot com or visit your local retailer to pick up a bottle. Please drink responsibly.
Waterford! If you're familiar with the concept of Terroir in wine, you'll appreciate Mark Reynier's Waterford "Single Malt Whisky" from Ireland. Mark is combining his Scotch whisky and fine wine talents to produce an authentic series of Irish Single Malt Whiskies based on traditional wine industry principles. 
2021 Icons of Whisky - Brand innovator and Irish Distiller of the year - San Francisco World Spirits Competition Double Gold - one of 750com's Game Changers is proving that Waterford is indeed different.
How? Authenticity! The Terrior code on each bottle reveals the entire story of that whisky. Full disclosure, full traceability.  100% pure Irish barley creates an intensity of flavor derived from exceptional steps in the distilling process. Waterford is gastronomic because it's honest.

• Waterford's Single Farm Origin is one farm, one whisky. The collection reveals the Terroir of each farm and its unique flavor profile.  
• Waterford's Arcadian series: Flavor through Agronomy - Organic Gaia and Biodynamic Luna - Single Malt Whiskies
• Waterford's hyper-rare Cuvée series: Flavor through complexity, layering components from several farms

Widely available across the US, visit our friends at  glassrev.com to discover "where to buy" this innovative, game-changing new single malt whisky. Waterford - sometimes subtle, sometimes powerful, always unique.
Our last Sponsor is THE official Sponsor of Whiskey Neat, Balcones- In 2008, Balcones was nothing more than an idea driven by a passion to create something original and authentic. Focusing on ingredients and process, they breathed new life into hundreds of years of distilling traditions, earning them worldwide recognition for their whiskies.
