Ep. 2: Off to the Races

It's Kentucky Derby weekend, and Thom is bringing out something special — Woodford Reserve's 2023 Distillery Series Release, a Toasted Oak Four Grain Whiskey selected by Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall. Woodford is the official whiskey of the Derby, and this bottle, like the Derby, is special. Patsy might agree--but probably not with the same meaning as Thom.Thom walks through what makes this limited release worth seeking out — four grains, toasted oak influence, and McCall's fingerprints all over it — then hands Patsy the glass. She has opinions. Loud ones. The Whiskey Face Scale gets tested again.Then comes the Redemption Round: a proper Mint Julep. Does dressing it up in mint and crushed ice change things? Somewhat. Maybe? It's complicated.Part education, part family experiment, entirely Patsy's problem.Whiskey Face is the show where a whiskey lover and his whiskey-averse sister taste their way through the world of whisk(e)y — one grimace at a time.Find your spirit glass on the Whiskey Face Scale — grab merch at whiskeyface.live.
