This Rye is a Contender for Whiskey of the Year
This is an immediate contender for whiskey of the year. A huge thank you to Rare Bird 101, David Jennings, for setting us up with this amazing rye whiskey, Raconteur Rye Batch 2. Also on this episode, we're saying farewell to Sadie Hustlepig, our beloved camper van that started us on this amazing journey to travel the world and drink whiskey. You won't believe how good the AI song is that we created for the montage.

    There is one small piece of the song that seemed like it went unsaid. The pictures showed what we all know, the purrs and whispers as the song faded contained a distant sound that we all knew. Faintly in the distance on the wind I heard... "Norman".... 😺

      If camping is an option, there are some great sites nearby, and some will even have a shuttle to the start/finish area. Otherwise, Crater Lake Lodge is your best bet.

    It is funny how UA-cam just quits recommending a channel. I watched a bunch of your videos -recommended by UA-cam - about a year ago. I never subscribed, nor did I remember your channel name, and UA-cam just quit putting you in my recommended feed. Well, after about 5 months of trying to find you, I succeeded! And subscribed, finally!

    Very nice review. I agree that Smokeye Hill might not be on par with other high end bourbons, but it did beat out George T. Stagg in a blind tasting during the 2024 ASCOT Awards. I really like it as it has such a concentration of flavors that one could spend quite a bit of time enjoying it. While in Santa Rose, did you stop by the Luther Burbank Home and Garden? He developed more than 800 strains and varieties of plants over his 55-year career, one being the Shasta Daisy. Cheers!
