Blind Tasting Podcast
You're gonna get honest (and sometimes irreverent) reviews, news, and opinions on whiskey and the industry.
Will I dwell on the minutia? Sure, sometimes. Will I use sarcasm to get my point across? Yep. Either way you can bet you'll learn something and have something to say about it and that is exactly what Blind Tasting Podcast is all about. Bourbon, Whiskey, and Attitude! Enjoy!
