Happy New Year and Welcome to another year of pairing some great spirits together!
For this show, the Boys sip on bottles that both came from Drew’s shelf: The 10th Anniversary American Single Malt from 10th Mountain, which was bought at the gift shop during a trip to Vail, CO, and the Cambio Tequila Blanco Cellar Series - #4 El Corazon, which was purchased at Sabor y Cultura in Chicago.
Come along as the Boys rant on Dry January, Drew recommendations more Christmas movies, Joby Holland of Fourche Creek lends his musical talents, there are some fantastic QuickSips™ and so much more!
You might not be able to find these exact bottles, but you can definitely get the regular American Single Malt from 10th Mtn and the regular Blanco from Cambio (which the boys cannot recommend enough). So scoop 'em up, invite your friends, listen and sip along, and as always: Make It A Happy Friday!™
The Boys with you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
For this show, Matt presents Drew with a gift and pairs his Torabhaig Sound of Sleat Batch Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky with Drew's Prolijo Tepeztate Joven Mezcal Artesanal.
Sit back and enjoy this Festivus Miracle of fruit and barley and agave and smoke!
Grab a whisky, grab an agave spirit, and relax to the sounds of Joby Holland’s holiday tunes and the boys ridiculousness while they taste through these special spirits.
The Boys would like to thank their family, friends, followers and fans and wish you the happiest of the Holiday Season and a Wonderful New Year. Salud! Cheers! Slainte!
Pull up a seat and join the Boys as they pair up a couple of bottles that are worth celebrating. Did you know that the Eagle Rare name is fifty years old this year? Well, the Uncertified Whiskey Hunter knows and he’s excited to talk about it. Drew found a real ‘dusty’ on the shelf and it celebrates the 50 years of the El Tequileño distillery.
It’s no coincidence that it’s getting close to Christmas, and these spirits are loaded with some sweet and spice and everything nice to warm your bellies and put a glow on your cheeks.
You might have a hard time finding these bottles, but that shouldn’t stop you from grabbing a whiskey and a tequila and sitting down and hanging with the Boys for a spell.
Hopefully this episode puts you in the Holiday Spirit and helps you Make It A Happy Friday!™
For this Black Friday Episode, the boys sip on Maracame Tequila Plata and a Bardstown Bourbon Single Barrel from the Sycamore Whiskey Club. One bottle had been on Drew’s shelf for 4 years, and the other bottle had been on Matt’s shelf for 4 days.
As usual, the conversation wanders between relevant and random things like the new Agave Matchmaker app to RoboCop and beyond.
The boys are busy spending the Thanksgiving break with their friends and families, and they hope you are as well. Black Friday sales abound, so grab a whiskey, a tequila, gather with friends and family, listen and sip along, and Make It A Happy Friday!™
For this Thanksgiving-themed show, the Boys pair some Wild Turkey 101 8-Year with some Tejitas Anejo while they sip, discuss and laugh their way through one of their favorite holidays. Be sure to listen to the QuickSips™ for a little special twist.
No matter what you pour yourself, we ask that you take a moment to be thankful for all that you have, listen, sip along and Make It A Happy Friday!™
Today the Boys make more cocktails! After what may be the longest cold open in history, Matt brings a Rittenhouse Rye (Single Barrel from Bourbon Belly Group), Drew brings Tres Agaves Reposado (because the grocery store didn’t have what he originally wanted) and Joby brings his wonderful cover of Bobby McFerrin's “Don’t Worry Be Happy” (if you’re too young to remember Cocktail the movie, we’re sorry). These concoctions are crushable sipping drinks you will want to try for your next get together.
So gather your mates, make some cocktails, listen and sip along, and Make It A Happy Friday!™
Happy Friday, Friends, and welcome to a special Bonus Episode of Whiskey Tequila Fridays!
It's no secret the Boys love Tom Hanks. They talk about him almost every episode, but none of it makes the final cut. Until today.
Today the Boys share two of those Tom Hanks Geek Outs from the many they have recorded!
So grab a bottle of whiskey, a bottle of tequila, invite your friends, listen and sip along, ponder the wonder that is Tom Hanks, and Make It A Happy Friday!™
For this Happy Friday, Matt brings a single barrel pick in collaboration with Malloy’s Finest and the Wheaton Whisky Club from the great state of Colorado. Drew brings a reposado that is anything other than “standard” from the great NOM 1123.
They tangent a little with some current spirits news, with nothing more than some opinions and well wishes. When they finally get to the QuickSips™ - well - you’ll just have to listen to find out.
So invite your friends, sit down with a Laws whiskey, a Legado tequila, listen and sip along, and Make It A Happy Friday!™
For this Beginner Buy the Boys pair a bourbon Matt cut his teeth on as a young whiskey wanderer - Jim Beam Black (now a 7 year aged stated bourbon) and a tequila Drew discovers has a mistaken label - Tequila Cultura 100 Reposado (actually 86 proof but with an original 80 proof label).
You may need to turn your volume up when the boys get a live FaceTime call while recording from Brad Niccum of Taste Tequila with Brad, while they try to solve the mystery of the mistaken label. The QuickSips™ are always good, but even better when the bottles are affordable, available and quality. So find these bottles, listen and sip along and Make It A Happy Friday! ™
The Boys finally pair the remaining Great Lakes Tequila Club pick with a whiskey, and it definitely gets adventurous. Matt talks way too much about a type of whiskey that he is not that fond of (Canadian) while Drew reveals he knows too much about Costco’s rotisserie chicken profits.
If you stick to the end, you might hear the boys sip on some things that are not exactly whiskey and not exactly tequila. Something in the future, maybe?
Unless you are in the Chicago area, you might not get these exact bottles. However, the Boys invite you to find a whiskey and a tequila, invite your friends over, sip and listen along - and Make It A Happy Friday!™
Well, y'all, today may be the day the Boys break the internet with a show that has never been done before. The first of its kind.
A little more than a year ago, the Boys opened two fresh bottles. Matt uncorked a Michter's Unblended American Whiskey and Drew broke the seal on a Tequila Don Fulano Reposado. They recorded that fresh neck pour and then put the bottles aside.
But then they did what has never been done on any spirits podcast: They revisited them every few months, recording how the bottles changed over the course of a full year.
And so here it is, a full year in the making, the full arc of two spirits from neck pour to bottle kill!
The QuickSips™ are too numerous to describe, but believe me, the Boys found another beautiful pairing!
These bottles are on the shelf, so scoop 'em up, fill your cup, invite your friends, listen and sip along and Make It A Full Year Of Happy Fridays™!
Today, the Boys imbibe on some bottles with bits of blackberry and barrel funk. Matt’s barrel strength bourbon was a purchase from Slightly Toasted in Chicago, and Drew’s Anejo was a gift from the folks at NOM 1414 at the Sabor y Cultura event in Chicago about a month ago.
Find some similar bottles, invite your buds, plop down, listen and sip along, and Make It A Happy Friday™!
Hello and welcome to a special anniversary edition of Whiskey Tequila Fridays. Today, the Boys celebrate 3 years of shenanigans with three special QuickSips™!
Find out what their three favorite pairings of the past year were as the Boys recap the past years' episodes, tastings, and guests, and also tease a little of what's to come.
Grab your favorite QuickSip™ from the past 12 months, invite your friends, share a pour, listen and sip along, and Make It A Happy Friday™!
For this episode, the Boys pair a couple of spirits that scream summertime.
Against Drew’s initial thoughts, Matt brings a 120 proof Single Barrel from Malloy’s - Rebel Bourbon Cask Strength. Drew bings a Suerte Reposado at 80 proof. With tons of fruit and flavor, these two spirits pair great together.
By the time they get to the QuickSips™, Drew becomes a convert.
If you want to find out for yourself, pick up these bottles, invite your friends, listen and sip along, and Make It A Happy Friday™!
Hello and Happy Friday! This episode is a first for the Boys: Their first appearance on another podcast!
A few months back, the Boys had the pleasure of sipping blind with Brad Niccum, host of Tasting Tequila with Brad. Brad's show is a fun mix of tequila reviews, guest interviews, and informative content.
For this episode, he invited the Boys to sip a few blancos blind, and the results were surprising. You'll have to listen to find out what happened!

This one was a lot of fun! Why not scoop up a few blancos yourself, invite your friends, blind those pours and see what happens. Then sit back, listen and sip along, and Make It A Happy Friday™!
Today, the Boys explore two bottles with deep layers of complexity, or Complex on Complex.
Matt brings a mouthful: Cedar Ridge American Single Malt Whiskey Quintessential Single Cask Malloy's Anejo Tequila Cask Finish. You work up a powerful thirst just reading the label! It has so many complex flavors, and at 122 proof, this one packs a punch.
Drew brings the Cambio Tequila Anejo, which also boasts complex flavors. This brand is quickly becoming on of the Boys' favorite, and at 92, the extra proof doesn't hurt.
The QuickSips™ bring cascading layers of flavors, and both Boys decide one way is a clear winner.
It may be hard to find this exact store pick, but Cedar Ridge is out there, as is Cambio Tequila, and both at great prices.
So scoop up these bottles, invite your friends, listen and sip along, and Make It A Happy Friday™!
Happy Friday, y'all! Today the Boys mix up a few of their favorite cocktails using their favorite ingredients.
Matt gets it started with a Bloody Mary made with Koval White Rye, an unaged, unoaked rye.
Drew follows with two he makes with the El Tequileno Blanco Mixto (yes, a mixto!): a Margarita and a Paloma, both with fresh ingredients.
Matt shares his spin on a traditional Old Fashioned using his own Infinity Bottle of Bottled In Bond bourbons!
Drew finishes the tequila side with his version of a Tequila Sunrise using Tapatio 110 blanco for a little extra proof punch.
Not to be outdone, Matt makes a Sazerac using the Neeley Family Distillery Liqueur Absinthe Verte and 139 proof Jack Daniels Single Barrel Barrel Proof Rye!
And to top it off, Joby performs a cover from the Cocktail soundtrack!
These cocktails can be endlessly tweaked to your taste, most of these bottles are available on the shelf, so scoop 'em up, don't forget a bag of ice, invite your friends, mix a cocktail, listen and sip along, and Make It A Happy Friday™!
Happy Friday, Y'all! Today, Matt moves to the other side of the show as a guest while Drew takes over the interviewing. The Boys are delighted to welcome Jeff Huber of the Wheaton Whisky Club for their first live recording with a special guest.
Hear how Jeff and Matt took over the WWC and have worked to revitalize it, a quick movie tangent, their outlook on Whisky Clubs in general, and the demand for Single Barrels.
And speaking of Single Barrels, Matt and Jeff delivered for this episode. Jeff shares an Eagle Rare 10 Single Barrel that was NOT found in any stores and a Wheaton Whisky Club - Malloy's collaboration, a Yellowstone Bourbon Single Barrel. Matt cracks open a beautiful Bladnoch 11 year Single Malt Scotch, and Drew brings a dusty- a Centinela Tequila Reposado from 2011!
The QuickSips™ are fantastic, and Jeff discovers the allure of the hype horn!
These might be tough to find on the shelves, but don't let that stop you... Scoop up a few of your favorites, invite your friends, share, listen, and sip along, and Make It A Happy Friday™!
On this episode of Whiskey Tequila Fridays, the Boys bring two bottles whose lengthy titles are only surpassed by the flavors they hold. Two bottles that are truly Rum Barrel Baddies!
Matt brings the Glenlivet Caribbean Reserve Single Malt Scotch Whisky and Drew brings the Yeyo Tequila Reposado Great Lakes Tequila Club Tropical Edition Private Barrel Pick. I don't know about you all, but just saying all that makes me thirsty!
This Glenlivet is everywhere, so scoop one up. And while a Great Lakes Tequila Club pick may only be in the Chicago area, there is surely a Yeyo Tropical Reserve series reposado available near you.
This is the perfect Friday to grab these two bottles, invite your friends, sip and listen along as the Boys discover one of the best QuickSips™ to date.
And, as always, Make It A Happy Friday™!!!
Happy fRYEday, y'all. Today the Boys bring 8 bottles of rye, get 4 chosen at random, and do a blind tasting to see what they prefer when marketing bias is removed.
Listen along as they discover new flavors and a few surprises. Pick up these 8 bottles, invite your friends, do your own blind, listen and sip along, and Make It A Happy Friday™!
PS - the Boys send their apologies to Dudley Moore. They know your name...
