Do Age Statements Matter?

The Practical Still

05/26/20 • 35 min

On this episode of The Practical Still podcast, Mark and Dan get to the root of age statements: do they matter? Does a 10 year old whiskey age statement necessarily mean it's better than a 7 year old whiskey? And just how old is all the stuff that goes into the bottle anyway? Find out on this episode of The Practical Still Podcast.

Does packaging in whiskey matter?

The Practical Still

09/02/20 • 36 min

Dan and Mark discuss packaging in the retail whiskey industry. Specifically, does it even matter to the experience and enjoyment of sipping on bourbon, rye, and single malt whiskeys? Cardboard and wooden boxes, tubes, stoppers, toppers, wax, plastic, ribbons, and beautifully crafted stories printed on cards and booklets. Do you buy one whiskey over another because of any of this extra fluff or are you solely focused on the liquid in the bottle? And speaking of the bottle, do you care about the form of the bottle itself? We do figure out that Dan likes wooden boxes and Mark prefers natural cork stoppers but what do you think?

Can we build a $100 whiskey bar that's good?

The Practical Still

Is that even possible? Give episode 7 a listen and find out. Then, let us know what you think. Which whiskey were we wrong to include, which would you rather see within these constraints?

Whiskey bottles bandy a lot of terms about, and small batch and single barrel appear pretty often. What do these terms mean? Which one is better? Mark and Dan talk about what makes a single barrel pick and a small batch bottle, where you can get them, and what you can expect from them.
