The Barrel Proof Baseball Podcast

In honor of St. Patrick's Day, today's release is with Donna Stewart. Donna is an ambassador for Lost Irish, a new Irish whiskey that has recently hit the market, that has become one of my favorites.

Take a listen, make sure to follow Lost Irish and Donna Stewart on Instagram, and pick up a bottle and try it out!

Today's episode features Jamie Biel from Treaty Oak Distilling, out of Dripping Springs, TX. Jamie is the director of science and sustainability for Treaty Oak. Her knowledge of whiskey was incredible, however her science background really shines through when talking about their whiskey making process. It's absolutely amazing listening to some of her explanations of the process and aging.

In today's episode I sit down with Murphy Quint, the director of operations for Cedar Ridge distillery in Swisher, Iowa. I really enjoyed this conversation with Murphy, and loved the whiskey he shared with me. The QuintEssential is without a doubt my favorite American single malt whiskey I have tried. Murphy also shared the No. 9 Iowa Whiskey, which was a collaboration with the band Slipknot. This is a delicious whiskey that is in no way simply a celebrity whiskey, although it has been voted the best celebrity whiskey numerous times.

In today's episode I sit down with Sagamore Spirit president Brian Treacy. First and foremost, Sagamore Spirit is making incredible whiskey. It's easy to see why their popularity is skyrocketing under Brian's leadership. They make great whiskey and have the right people in place to make the product worthwhile to buy, and would make consumers want to be repeat customers. I would highly suggest picking up a bottle of Sagamore Spirit. It's great whiskey at a really nice price point. Try the rye, and jump on the Double Oak if you get a chance. Then the cask strength.

In today's episode I am joined by Spirits of French Lick head distiller Alan Bishop, and owner/director of operations Laurelin Doty. This is absolutely one of my most enjoyable conversations to date. I'm pretty sure Alan is in the running for the most interesting man in the world award. Check out the episode and see why. And, go grab a bottle from Spirits of French Lick, out of Indiana.

In today's episode I sit down with Kentucky Artisan Distillery brand ambassador Jeremy Dever. Jeremy and I had a really great conversation and I really enjoyed learning about the brands coming out of Kentucky Artisan Distillery, mainly Whiskey Row and Billy Goat Strut. Jeremy is so full of knowledge about their brands, including Jefferson's bourbon, but also about the industry as a whole. This episode was certainly a really fun one for me, and I picked up a ton of information from Jeremy.

In today's episode I am reviewing two bottles from Sagamore Spirit out of Baltimore, MD. I've got their standard Rye as well as the double oak, and both are delicious. I will add, I have also tried the cask strength and Manhattan finish (both pictured here) and they are delicious, as well as the tequila finish which is also amazing. I am really impressed with these guys and the bottles they are putting out. I definitely suggest picking up a bottle or four.

In this episode I am joined by Stephen Corrigan. Stephen is the distiller and head blender at One Eight Distilling, out of Washington DC. One Eight distilling produces District Made spirits and uses locally grown grains to make their spirits. We had a great discussion about everything One Eight Distilling is putting out there, and about the bourbon industry as a whole.

In today's episode I am joined by King's Family Distillery owner Cara King. Cara and her husband Justin started King's Family Distillery in 2018 and are making terrific whiskey. Their popularity online and on social media amongst whiskey fans is well deserved.

All five of their whiskies I have are outstanding, and ones I will always keep on my shelf.

Today I sit down with Baltimore Orioles minor league coach Tim DeJohn. Tim and I became acquainted through LinkedIn and have kept in touch ever since. In our conversation we talk about coaching, our paths to where we are not, relationships with players, and the ongoing process of learning. We don't dig into the X's and O's but we do talk a lot about the other side of coaching that is sometimes overlooked. This was a lot of fun for me to chat with Tim, and I think he provides great information for coaches who want to move up in their coaching careers. Enjoy!

In today's episode I get to talk with Jim Lindberg, the lead singer of my all time favorite band, Pennywise! This conversation was so exciting for me to record, and I can't thank Jim enough for his time and generosity. I really enjoyed learning about Jim, Pennywise, getting a front row seat to the greatest song in punk rock, and hearing all about his favorite Dodger memories and his favorite player. Adding in a shot of whiskey at the end, and this was something pretty special for me. Enjoy!
