vPub Live - Independent Core Ranges - The New Thing

Wait, what? The terms “Independent’ and ‘Core Range’ do not usually sit together in whisky. Independent bottlers do their own thing - small batch or single casks. Official bottlings are from distilleries and large producers - they’re the ones who make ‘core ranges’, right? But of course for years now those lines have become very blurred. But it’s with the release of a new ‘core range’ from an independent bottler that the concept has taken on a slightly different tone: a new single malt, from a k

This 128 Proof Bourbon is DANGEROUSLY Drinkable 🥃🔥

I expected this 10-year Elijah Craig Barrel Proof to be a monster, but it’s actually the perfect "no-brainer" pour for a Friday night. 128.2 proof and it goes down way too easy.

Porch Picks: Chicken Cock...We Just Had To Try Some

Today… we’re talking Chicken Cock. And before you click away—just know: the name may be ridiculous… but the whiskey isn’t. We picked up these bottles at the Kentucky Bourbon Festival, and what started as a joke turned into a legit surprise: From a 130 proof Cask Reserve that hits fast and disappears just as quick… to a Miller’s Reserve blend that might just earn a permanent spot on your shelf—we break it down the only way we know how: honest, unfiltered, and probably a little inappropriate. A bo

Why Smoking the Barrel Changes Whisky Flavour

It Tastes fundamentally different... What happens when you smoke the barrel instead of the grain? Peter Bignell explains why this approach creates a completely different smoke profile — capturing flavours that are normally lost during fermentation and distillation. A deeper look at the idea behind “Smoking Barrel.” Full conversation on SingleMalt TV.

Ep. 49 - The Vulnerable Needs of Men, King and Leiper's Brown Water

What does it actually cost a man to be vulnerable — and is it worth it? In this candid continuation of the conversation with Nashville therapist Steve Jackson, Jason and Bradford go deep on what men are really carrying, why so few of them ever put it down, and what it looks like when they finally do. Steve unpacks the quiet crisis playing out in men's lives today — from the isolating grip of screens and social media to the way pornography rewires the brain's capacity for real intimacy and relati

Will the Next Generation Be Better Parents Than We Were?

There's a real argument that our kids are going to be better parents than we were. Not because they have it all figured out. But they seem to be learning how to discipline without making a kid feel like something is wrong with them. "You made a bad decision" is a very different message than "you are a bad kid." That's a meaningful shift. Full episode is live. Watch now! Ep. 49 - The Vulnerable Needs of Men, King and Leiper's Brown Water
