  5. EPISODE 14: The Daily Drinker

    THE DAILY DRINKER Not every bottle needs to be allocated, impossible to find, or expensive as hell to be worth drinking. Sometimes the best bourbon on your shelf is the one you can actually find, afford, open, pour—and replace when it's gone. In this episode of BBM: After Hours, we're talking…

    WHY WE SMOKE CIGARS If you've never smoked a cigar, you might look at one and wonder: What's the attraction?

  7. EPISODE 12: WOMEN & BOURBON: WHO SAID THIS WAS A BOYS' CLUB?

    WOMEN & BOURBON: WHO SAID THIS WAS A BOYS' CLUB? I went into this episode with what I thought was a pretty simple question: Why does bourbon still seem so overwhelmingly male?

  10. EPISODE 10 - Misconceptions About Bourbon

    AFTER HOURS: The Biggest Misnomers About Bourbon Bourbon has to come from Kentucky. Older means better. Higher proof means harsher. “Small batch” actually means something specific.

  11. EPISODE 4 - Why Not Scotch?

    AFTER HOURS — EPISODE 4: WHY NOT SCOTCH? I’ve tried Scotch. More than once. And every damn time, I come back to bourbon. So what is it? The peat? The smoke? The malt? The fact that some of it tastes like somebody filtered a campfire through an old leather boot? 😂 Maybe. But this episode isn’t...

  12. EPISODE 9 - When Bourbon Was More Fun

    AFTER HOURS: WHEN BOURBON WAS MORE FUN I picked up a bottle of 1792 Small Batch recently—something I hadn’t had in probably six or eight months.
