The Whiskey Trip - Season 2, Episode 46 - Chloe Overstreet - Southeast Texas Country Music Artist
The Bourbon Life
11/12/24 • 103 min
This week on The Whiskey Trip, Big Chief steps away from the distillery scene to welcome Southeast Texas country music artist Chloe Overstreet and her guitar, Angel, to Bayou Sunset Farm. Over pours of sweeter whiskeys, Chloe opens up about her music and the journey of breaking into the country scene.
At just 21, Chloe has been singing her heart out since her early teens, and she has a soft spot for sweeter whiskeys. Big Chief kicks things off with Traverse City Whiskey Company’s American Cherry Edition—a taste of cherry pie in a glass. Next up is Hermann Farm and Distillery’s Black Shire Blackberry Flavored Whiskey, a true dessert whiskey that’s perfect over ice or warmed.
In the second half, Big Chief shares some Garrison Brothers Honeydew—a wheated bourbon with a gentle honey touch that makes for an ideal nightcap. To wrap up, Chloe gets the honor of helping Chief polish off one of his all-time favorites, a Honey Cask from Giant Texas Distillery. With notes of sorghum molasses, figs, and a kick of cinnamon spice, it’s one he’ll miss.
This episode brings together two of Big Chief’s great loves: soulful music and remarkable whiskey.
Cheers to another unforgettable ride on The Whiskey Trip!
