Podcasts about black bottle

In een enerverend (online) gesprek duiken we met Simon, Mike, Jaap en Mark van Black Bottle Riot in het verleden, heden en de toekomst van deze absolute topband. Er zijn veel mooie vragen van luisteraars en er wordt weer gedobbeld in 'Het slotakkoord'

https://www.whisky.de/p.php?id=BLACBO000 Nosing 03:03 Wir verkosten den Black Bottle. Black Bottle wurde im frühen 20. Jahrhundert von den drei Graham-Brüdern kreiert und in einer tiefschwarzen Glasflasche abgefüllt, die von einer deutschen Glasmanufaktur entworfen wurde. Mit dem ersten Weltkrieg waren die Blender gezwungen, den Blend in grünen Flaschen zu vertreiben. Knapp 100 Jahre später wird Black Bottle wieder in seinem alten Design vermarktet. Der besondere Blend verbindet Islay Malts mit Highland, Speyside und Lowland Whiskys, die mit milden Grain Whiskys verschnitten wurden.

My guest for this episode was Sean Nook. Sean is the Founder and Owner-Operator at Black Bottle Brewery, which recently celebrated its 9th anniversary!  Black Bottle was the very last business start-up loan that I funded before leaving a 15-year career in banking!Sean has grown a passion for homebrewing into one of the city's favorite brewpubs.  We talked about the challenges of managing the brewery through the pandemic, reflected on the exciting earliest days of the business, and we discussed changes to the industry and the challenges of hiring and managing in today's labor economy - as well as his love for cool sneakers.  We chased a lot of squirrels, and drank too much bourbon, and had a whole lotta fun.  As Sean would say, “Buckle Up, Buttercup” and enjoy!

This week we see the return of Ingenious founder, Justin Gyorfi.  We talk about the wild ride Ingenious has been through over the last couple of years as arguably Texas's most adventurous brewery.  Let me be clear, there are plenty of progressive, ground breaking breweries in Houston but no one, I repeat, no one is thinking outside the box like Ingenious. For better or worse, no one is having more fun and to be honest... I love it. I love the mindset. I love the motivation. I love the journey.  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.

For Years, Social Media has been a place for us to post pictures of our hobbies. Grilling, Shoes, Food, Whiskey, Cigars...... Guns. In an age of our hobbies overlapping, we often see these things pictured together. The Subject of Guns and Booze being pictured together is a hot topic with strong feelings on all sides of the argument. Today We sit down and discuss how Todd and I feel personally on this phenomenon and how we handle it in Houston Bourbon Society.

This week, we return after being gone for the last 3 weeks to talk about something important. “Hey Guys, This is an important issue that needs to be supported. In the past 2 months, Distilleries have donated nearly $6 Million in free hand sanitizer to first responders, front- line health care workers and essential business employees. Especially here in Houston with distilleries like Gulf Coast, Whitmeyers and William Price. • At the same time, These Texas distillers have added over $4 Million in additional expenses to produce sanitizer. • Collectively, distillery revenues for on-site sales have dropped 60-80% • These distilleries are NOT asking for a bail out. We are asking for your help in petitioning the Governor to allow a temporary waiver of a few key rules in TABC code.

When it comes to Wine, Terroir is talked about and widely accepted.  Distilled spirits have adopted the term but is there any weight to this or is it just arbitrary marketing gobbledygook and sales gibberish meant to entice the consumer.  This week I sit down with two of Houston's major Whiskey Bar owner aficionados, Mike Raymond of Reserve 101 and Morgan Weber of Agricole hospitality group and owner of a brand new distillery in Marfa,Texas distilling our version of Sotol and eventually, Whiskey.

DJ Potential mixes the Black Bottle MIXX with special release music from JFK with song Black Bottle BoyzMore about the artist and song:artist name ( JFK ) song title: BLACK BOTTLE BOYZ Extremely gifted musical innovator, JFK born in New York and bred in Miami, Florida has an authentic story to tell. He continues to captivate the music industry with his dope sense of optimistic resilience. Amongst some of the most talented rappers in the history of music, JFK pays significant homage to all the rap legends that hauled before him. Massive and ambitious, he will surely stretch the limitations placed on the hip hop scene with his new sub-genre “Electroflo” which reinforces the unique faculties and multifaceted music delivery. JFK is on the verge of taking over the hip hop industry with his Electro flows and content of quality.Black Bottle Boyz is a raving song that talks about how he uses to drink expensive remedies and his daily grinds. Opening with a brazing hook like,“Yeah I use to sip on that Rose’, Yeah, I use to sip on that Cristal. Yeah, you know dem zoes getting paid now you hater’s know what we on now, Black Bottle Boyz, Black Bottle Boyz.”Contact:Website- www.jfkmusic.online IG:JFKMUSIC @JFK_MUSIC_Radio station information:https://transformubroadcast.comhttps://transformu.ushttps://facebook.com/TransformULivehttps://twitter.com/TransformULivehttps://instagram.com/transformunetwork

How easy is it to legally be drunk? Surprisingly easy. Shockingly so. A DWI in Texas is on average a $10,000 uphill battle and a Job killer and for the Whiskey Hobbyist it's something we should really be aware of. The rule of thumb is 1- 1oz drink 80 proof per hour, your body can process. Well, how exactly does that work in a hobby where the standard pour size is atleast 1.5 oz and a significantly higher ABV than 80 proof. This week we sit down with SGT Hill of the Deer Park Police department and 2 test subjects and we drink the average serving in 1.5 hours and test their BAC for the legal limit....the results, may surprise you.

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.

Picks of the Week: "Black Bottle" Shiraz, from Australia. Bonus: "The Wolftrap Red" blend of Syrah, Mourvedre and Viognier, from Boekenshoutskloof in South Africa.  

This week we talk with Mal Spense from Black Bottle Scotch. I meet Mal through my friend Hal Wolin, who I know from the USBG. Its the Bartender Journey Podcast # 208!  Listen with the audio player on this page, or subscribe on iTunes, Android or Stitcher Radio. If you are new to the show, the USBG is the United States Bartender’s Guild and there are chapters throughout the US. It’s a great organization. If you are outside the US you can look into the IBA. Cocktail of the Week: 1886’s Mamie Taylor CocktailThe Raymond 1886 is a Bar & Restaurant in Pasadena CA The cocktail is basically a Scotch Buck: 2 oz Blended Scotch Whisky Black Bottle ½ oz Lime Juice Angostura Aromatic Bitters Top with Ginger Beer Candied Ginger Garnish You could build it in a glass, but I think its best to put the Whisky, lime juice and Bitters in a shaker, give it a quick shake, add the Ginger Beer to the Shaker, and stain that into a glass filled with fresh ice. Book of the Week: The Curious Bartender: An Odyssey of Malt, Bourbon & Rye Whiskies by Tristan Stephenson Tristan’s books are so well researched and well laid out. There is so much valuable information in these books…he talks about the different classifications of whiskey, processes of how its made, has specific brand recommendations and then cocktail recipes. The Curious Bartender is a series of books by Tristan Stephenson … he has a new one about Gin, which we will talk about on an upcoming episode and maybe even get him back on the show again. He was on episode 122 of Bartender Journey. Don’t forget about our TipCup Page – its time to pay the folks who host out Podcast audio files again! Thanks!

Ian MacMillan has been overseeing the whiskies from Deanston, Tobermory, and Bunnahabhain for years...but Cognac casks were one thing he hadn't experimented much with until the opportunity presented itself several years ago. The result is the new Deanston 18 Cognac Matured single malt that's being released in the US this month. We'll discuss Cognac casks with Ian on WhiskyCast In-Depth, along with his other single malts and his new take on the Black Bottle blend In the news, there's word that The Glenlivet may be replacing its flagship 12-year-old expression with the no-age-statement Founder's Reserve in some markets, old stills from Islay will be getting a new life in Ireland, and whisky sales keep growing in the US. We'll also kick off the #28DramsIn28Days series of tasting notes, too.

 This fun interactive show touching base on all things Social & Savvy, from topics on re-establishing what Social is, How to be Socially Acceptable in person as well as in the new Social Media ring, The Dutchess Report covering food, wine, entertainment & events to live interview's. LB Dutchess with co-Hosts Fancy Frenchwood of Sake in Seattle, Tracy Klinkroth of Chickchat Seattle and Scott Weeda our goto Guy, create a fun dynamic to talk about what it means to be Socially Savvy Today.

Running a distillery is a tough job...but Ian MacMillan runs three. Oh, he serves as the master blender, too. Ian's in charge of Burn Stewart's three distilleries: Bunnahabhain, Deanston, and Tobermory...and he is also responsible for the Black Bottle blended Scotch. Ian tells us about his 36 years in the whisky business in this episode. In the news, a major -- and unexpected -- change at Maker's Mark, as Kevin Smith replaces Dave Pickerell as master distiller. We'll also have the World Whisky Awards winners, the new 40-year-old Highland Park, and much more...
