A $20 Bourbon That Still Delivers

This week on Eat Drink Smoke, Tony and Fingers light up the Liars Bench Silver Tongue, a 6x54 Dominican puro with a Corojo wrapper, Habano binder, and plenty of spice. It makes a better impression on Fingers than Tony, but both agree Liars Bench is a brand worth keeping an eye on. Then it’s back to one of the show’s longtime bourbon favorites: Old Grand-Dad 114. At 114 proof, it delivers caramel, oak, spice, a little vanilla and cinnamon — and remains one of the best values sitting on the bourbon shelf. Especially when Tony finds it for twenty bucks. Fingers also brings in a viral Greek yogurt dessert made with vanilla pudding mix and apple pie filling. Tony spends most of the show mocking it… right up until he tries it. Suddenly, the giant bowl of protein-packed “Apple Pie Kaboom” doesn’t seem like such a ridiculous idea. Plus, Pat McAfee gets dragged online for sitting next to President Trump, the guys wonder whether social media has made everyone completely insane, Allegiant Airlines discovers the miracle of free soft drinks, Rod Stewart postpones shows after a medical procedure, and Fingers has some thoughts about women losing their minds when their husbands shave their beards. All that and more on this week’s Eat Drink Smoke.
