WftA – Whiskey How-to Podcasts

We cover a lot of ground in our podcasts. Some shows feature a whiskey review, while on others we may spotlight whiskies of a certain proof, from a specific distillery, or of a particular style. We often get reflective, sharing exploits we’ve enjoyed together or create new experiences with a guest. And in our whiskey history shows, we seek to uncover whiskey’s place in the American landscape.

We’re quick to point out we don’t know everything. And there is no wrong way to drink whiskey. Yet, over the many years experiencing this magical elixir, we’ve picked up a few things which have helped us enjoy our pours even more. So with that in mind, here are episodes where we share what we’ve learned, and some of the things activities we’ve done to help you get the most out of each pour … CHEERS!
