Pour a double and buckle up for this episode of Whiskey@Work! Mark and Rob take a deep dive into the surprising differences between Buffalo Trace and Eagle Rare—two bourbons with the same mash bill but totally different vibes.

This week on Whiskey@Work, Rob and Mark dive into the beautiful mistakes of history—those happy accidents that changed the world. From the invention of potato chips to penicillin, they break down how some of the greatest things we love today were never meant to happen—including the whiskey in their glasses. That’s right, Woodford Reserve Double Oaked started as an experiment, and it turned into one of the richest, most full-bodied bourbons out there. Was it an accident? A paradox? Or just really good whiskey? Either way, grab a drink and join the fun!

Recovering from a wild weekend? Yeah, same here. We recap the Mountain West Whiskey Festival, questionable decision-making, secret rooms, and the mysterious benefactor who picked up our bar tab. Plus, we take a sip (or several) of Four Walls—the Irish-American whiskey blend from the gang behind It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Is it a gimmick or a game-changer? And do we finally agree on a flavored whiskey? (Spoiler: probably not.) Pour a drink and join us for another whiskey-fueled ride!

Whiskey brings people together, and this episode of Whiskey@Work proves it! Rob and Mark welcome guest (and listener) Dylan Walter, who we met at the 2024 Mountain West Whiskey Festival. Dylan took us up on our open invitation to share a pour, bringing along his favorite rye whiskey—A Midwinter Night’s Dram from High West Distillery in Park City, Utah.
We chat about Dylan’s journey into whiskey, what he does for a living, and, of course, dive into the magic of A Midwinter Night’s Dram. Along the way, Mark throws in a Shakespeare quiz (because the whiskey’s name has a literary twist, and why not test Rob and Dylan’s English class memories?). It’s a laid-back, whiskey-fueled conversation between three guys who just love a good pour.

In the second segment, we dive into the Seahorse Mizunara Cask-finished whiskey, exploring the unique challenges of using Mizunara oak—its rare, twisted grains and signature flavors of sandalwood, coconut, and incense. We also touch on the wood’s historical significance in Japanese whiskey-making.

We also chat about the 2024 Old Fitzgerald VVS, named Whiskey of the Year.
But the real gem? We explore the world of Sauternes—a luxurious French dessert wine that’s creating some magical whiskey finishes. Learn how Sauternes casks add honeyed sweetness and complexity to whiskey, giving it a whole new twist. We try in in the Distillery Exclusive from Woodinville in Washington.

This week on Whiskey@Work, we’re coming to you from the Black Hills Stock Show & Rodeo in Rapid City, SD! We’re diving into the Western heritage, rodeo traditions, and the whiskey that fits right in—including a deep dive into Pendleton 1910 Bourbon and its ties to the legendary Pendleton Round-Up.
But that’s not all—we’re also tackling some big whiskey news:
🥃 Light whiskey—an often-overlooked category first introduced in 1968—is making a quiet comeback, and Penelope Bourbon is leading the charge with a 17-year-old, 138.8-proof powerhouse. We break down what light whiskey is and why it might be worth your attention.
🥃 Eagle Rare 12? A new Buffalo Trace label filing suggests a 12-year-old straight bourbon could be on the way, stirring excitement (and skepticism) among bourbon lovers. Will this help with the Eagle Rare 10 shortage or just add to the hype?
