State of The Spirits Industry
It is an interesting time in the spirits industry, in a post covid world. There are articles coming out all the time offering perspectives from suppliers and wholesalers, but nothing from the people on the ground level in retail stores. That is what I am talking about this week, all while tasting some good Tequila. This may be one my favorite episodes that I have done.

Sneakers and Whiskey
This week I was inspired by a discussion I heard comparing sneaker collectors (sneakerheads) to bourbon buyers. Also, I got away to New Hampshire this weekend, which means a trip to the New Hampshire Liquor, which led to a couple of great purchases, and a rabbit hole dive into a Willy Wonka-esque distillery.

Psychology
After recording last week's episode I realized that I never got to the point of what started the rant originally, so this week I am following up on that and explaining what set me off. Also I am tasting the new A. Overholt from Jim Beam, a return to the roots of the Overholt brand. I'm also tasting it side by side with the standard Old Overholt. I'm also tasting my latest delivery from Seelbachs, the Blue Note Crossroads. If you like what I am doing here go to the podcast page and click the follow button and give it a rating.

Marketing
Happy Easter. This week I happened to listen to a podcast that Fred is part of, and the topic was psychology and marketing, and some of what I heard I just could not let go. So as I discuss some of the nonsense, I decided to take the opportunity to taste some special limited edition bottlings.

The Window is Closing
On this episode I am talking about the flood of new products that are starting to smother the spirits industry, and the negative effect that they are potentially going to have. But first, I actually get a little political. If you like what I am doing here go to the podcast page and click the follow button and give it a rating.
