In Episode 5, we once again give our regular updates before diving into the national news highlighted by a Jack Daniel's warehouse collapsing! We give an exclusive sneak peak into our upcoming whiskey release created at The Whiskey Blendery that we are calling Slovenian Select. For our main topic, we are launching the first in a series of interviews with liquor store owners to find out what it's like to work in that industry. What are the perks? What are the stressors? What makes these businesses succeed? We will be exploring those topics in the series and are kicking it off by interviewing the owner of an up and coming store in Fort Worth called Liquor Library. Thank you to Daniel for joining us as our special guest and we encourage you to visit him at his store Liquor Library located in south Forth Worth!

In Episode 4, we are going to provide updates on our partnership with a fantastic charity in Brother Bill's Helping Hand, discuss our barrel pick of a Starlight rum-finished bourbon, introduce a member of the Den who just started drinking bourbon in the last year, and dive headfirst into what specific bourbon got each of us to go from casually enjoying bourbon to becoming full blown hobbyists and collectors. Thank you to Jeff for joining us as our special guest and thank you to Ryan (Tilted) at Spec's for the collab on the Starlight pick!

In Episode 3, we will once again cover local drops and national news before being surprised by a pop quiz on BTAC. We meet our guest host for the month, Jesse, who surprised us with an insane unicorn bottle. The main event is a blind where each member of the podcast brought their favorite bottle of whiskey they acquired in 2024 and we put them in a blind to determine The Whiskey Den's Best Bottle of Bourbon in 2024! Most important, we introduced a charity that we are excited to be working with that is raising money for families in need using bottles of whiskey.
