These two guests embody what it means to be whiskey enthusiasts WITHOUT the side of snobbery. Ryan Mills (ThatOneDudeRyan) and Ryan Shaner (OneBigPikey) are two whiskey lovers who run successful media channels, all while keeping it inviting and NOT snobbish. In this episode, we talk about a few things that we see people do that come across "snobbish", and why those people could be missing out on a great time. We talk everything from extreme tasting notes to budget bourbons that could go head to head with some of the rarest bottles.

The world of Scotch Whisky is rich with different intricacies and flavor profiles, and one such characteristic that is often discussed is the "region" in which a Scotch is produced. In this episode, I break down the regions of Scotland: Highland, Lowland, Speyside, Islay, and Campbeltown, and I even briefly discuss a sub-region of the highlands known as the Islands. Of course, I also do a full review of Springbank 10yr, a single malt scotch from the Campbeltown region of Scotland. Support the show on Patreon: patreon.com/whiskeynoobs…

*The barrel pick has officially sold out! Huge thank you to all the patrons who made it sell so well during presale. More picks to come! I used up a whole bottle of Blanton's bourbon doing blind tastings with other whiskeys in order to find some that were better, and I certainly found them. I also learned a lot about the flavor profile of Blanton's, and began to understand why some people love it and others hate it. It is a hot debate online, so I break down my perspective on the reason for the huge divide and discuss the bottles that I found to be as good or better than Blanton's!

There are a lot of new finishes in the world of whiskey lately, but I think it is safe to say this is the most unique finishing process being utilized today. Broken Barrel Whiskey Co is changing the game by unlocking a new dimension of whiskey: the oak bill. Broken Barrel's whiskeys are made by aging whiskey with broken barrel staves, in order to fine tune the flavor profile. In this episode, we talk about how this process was first created, and we review two of their whiskeys: The Cask Strength (finished) Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (awarded the best Kentucky Finished Bourbon at the World Whiskies Awards), and Heresy (Finished Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey).
