The dram #

We enjoyed a sweet n' peaty Starward single malt finished in a Lagavulin cask 😍

Red wine barrels, Melbourne's four-seasons-in-a-day climate, and grassiness fading into sweetness.

Plus we dig tons into other whiskeys, like why Octomore 8.3 is the ultimate peat monster.

The glassware #

We dig into designing a bourbon glass for corn spirits versus a whisky glass for barley, smelling at the top versus the bottom of the glass, and eight years of R&D.

Plus the turbine wine glass Ryan Reynolds loved:

Rad.

The whatnot #

Of course we gotta bring the whatnot!

  • raising kids before and after AI
  • teaching them to code with retro video games
  • planting 400 Pinot Noir vines to learn winemaking
  • luthiers versus engineers
  • and why the banjo is part drum, part guitar, part lead singer
