Hop into this episode of Whiskey@Work, where things get pretty amphibious. Mark and Rob take a wild detour through the world of frogs, covering everything from pet snakes at the bar and freeze-proof Alaskan frogs to the surprisingly tough hairy frog that can actually make its own claws. They also get into the infamous poison dart frog, some wild frog trivia, and why Ireland’s native toad prefers running over hopping.
After the amphibian adventure, the guys finally sip on Natterjack Irish Whiskey, which is triple distilled, aged in ex-bourbon barrels, and finished in new American oak. Along the way, they answer important questions, like whether this whiskey tastes like frog and if it goes well with a Kermit impression. Come for the whiskey, stay for the frog facts, and walk away with a new appreciation for weird Irish toads. Cheers!

In this episode of Whiskey@Work, Mark and Rob dig into the newly released Jack Daniel’s 14-Year-Old Tennessee Whiskey, one of the oldest and rarest expressions Jack has ever put on the shelf. They break down the surprising history of Jack's age-stated whiskeys, why the brand dropped age statements for decades, and what led them back to long-aged bourbon in today’s market. Plus, the guys talk about Chris Stapleton’s Traveller becoming the first official whiskey of Major League Baseball, and a new addition to the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection: E.H. Taylor Bottled-in-Bond. Along the way, there's a little roadside confession, a look ahead to the Sturgis Jack Tasting event, and a bold new concept: the Mountain West Pork Butt-Off.

On this final leg of our tequila adventure, we dive into the smoky world of mezcal!

Plus, we gear up for Mountain West Fiesta Fest with tales of tequila, trust, and a surprising amount of talk about perms. It's smoky, it’s silly, and it's a perfect send-off to our tequila series!

The tequila train keeps rollin’ on Whiskey@Work! This week, Rob and Mark tackle Añejo tequila, diving into two very different bottles: Herradura Ultra and Corazón aged in Blanton’s barrels. Along the way, they cough through a cold, reminisce about mezcal mishaps, argue over proof levels, and somehow squeeze in some bourbon news—including Jefferson’s return to basics and Weller’s big win overseas. Plus, they prep for the upcoming Mountain West Fiesta Fest with a few laughs, a few regrets, and probably too much tequila.

It’s tequila time on Whiskey@Work! Mark and Rob power through illness, questionable decisions, and Michael Jordan’s oddly curvy bottle design to dive into Reposado tequila—specifically, Cincoro, MJ’s premium (and possibly additive-packed) bottle. With special guest Adam Patton from The Box in Box Elder, we talk about how tequila is sneaking up on whiskey as the spirit of choice, what makes Reposado perfect for whiskey lovers, and why a sticky hand might mean your tequila isn’t what it seems. Oh—and we’re throwing a massive tequila-fueled party soon: Mountain West Fiesta Fest. Wrestling ring included.

This week on Whiskey@Work, Rob and Mark dive into the beautiful mistakes of history—those happy accidents that changed the world. From the invention of potato chips to penicillin, they break down how some of the greatest things we love today were never meant to happen—including the whiskey in their glasses. That’s right, Woodford Reserve Double Oaked started as an experiment, and it turned into one of the richest, most full-bodied bourbons out there. Was it an accident? A paradox? Or just really good whiskey? Either way, grab a drink and join the fun!

Recovering from a wild weekend? Yeah, same here. We recap the Mountain West Whiskey Festival, questionable decision-making, secret rooms, and the mysterious benefactor who picked up our bar tab. Plus, we take a sip (or several) of Four Walls—the Irish-American whiskey blend from the gang behind It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Is it a gimmick or a game-changer? And do we finally agree on a flavored whiskey? (Spoiler: probably not.) Pour a drink and join us for another whiskey-fueled ride!

Whiskey brings people together, and this episode of Whiskey@Work proves it! Rob and Mark welcome guest (and listener) Dylan Walter, who we met at the 2024 Mountain West Whiskey Festival. Dylan took us up on our open invitation to share a pour, bringing along his favorite rye whiskey—A Midwinter Night’s Dram from High West Distillery in Park City, Utah.
We chat about Dylan’s journey into whiskey, what he does for a living, and, of course, dive into the magic of A Midwinter Night’s Dram. Along the way, Mark throws in a Shakespeare quiz (because the whiskey’s name has a literary twist, and why not test Rob and Dylan’s English class memories?). It’s a laid-back, whiskey-fueled conversation between three guys who just love a good pour.

In the second segment, we dive into the Seahorse Mizunara Cask-finished whiskey, exploring the unique challenges of using Mizunara oak—its rare, twisted grains and signature flavors of sandalwood, coconut, and incense. We also touch on the wood’s historical significance in Japanese whiskey-making.

We also chat about the 2024 Old Fitzgerald VVS, named Whiskey of the Year.

This week on Whiskey@Work, we’re coming to you from the Black Hills Stock Show & Rodeo in Rapid City, SD! We’re diving into the Western heritage, rodeo traditions, and the whiskey that fits right in—including a deep dive into Pendleton 1910 Bourbon and its ties to the legendary Pendleton Round-Up.
But that’s not all—we’re also tackling some big whiskey news:
🥃 Light whiskey—an often-overlooked category first introduced in 1968—is making a quiet comeback, and Penelope Bourbon is leading the charge with a 17-year-old, 138.8-proof powerhouse. We break down what light whiskey is and why it might be worth your attention.
