The Whiskey Trip - Season 3, Episode 18 - Big Chief and Little Feather Ride Again

This week on The Whiskey Trip, Big Chief takes us deep into the heart of Texas—the Hill Country—where dusty wind runs in the blood, and memories ride tall in the saddle. He's joined by none other than his little brother, Mitch Grey—known to many as Little Feather. Together, they ride back through time, sharing stories of their rural upbringing, their military service, and the unbreakable bond only forged through hard years and harder lessons. As the wind whistles through mesquite and cedar, Little Feather sings songs that echo with soul, grit, and brotherhood. Their first pour is Kiepersol Distillery's Jimmy's Bourbon 10-Year, a Texas gem layered with rich notes of root beer, aged caramel, and old oak. It's the perfect pairing for Craig Morgan's Almost Home—a song written by a veteran, sung by one, and felt by all. The second half of the journey brings a whiskey as bold as the land itself: Charles Goodnight Bourbon. Named for the legendary cattleman, this 115-proof powerhouse roars like a Comanche wind through caliche dust and cedar breaks. Toasted caramel, roasted nuts, and a peppery finish—it's the frontier in a bottle. As the sun sets over the hills, Mitch sings a haunting rendition of Jamey Johnson's In Color, reminding us that true history isn't in the pages—it's in the scars, the sunsets, and the stories passed between brothers. This episode is more than a tasting. It's a living tribute to blood, battle, and the stubborn beauty of the Texas Hill Country. Two brothers. Two whiskeys. Two songs. One bond—unshakable, undeniable, and deeply American. This is The Whiskey Trip. Cheers, y'all.
