2:05:07

Well, this was a fun episode for us. We had a few of our friends and long time listeners join us to review the first whiskey we ever reviewed, Bulleit Bourbon. If you are one of the few that heard the episode before it was taken down shoot us a message. We hope you all enjoy as much as we did. Whiskey: Bulleit Bourbon Price: $24 Proof: 90 Age: 6 Ye…

Beast of Bourbon 1:31:46

1:31:46

It's time to brush up on your bruxa because this week we're diving into the graphic novel adaptation of “A Grain of Truth,” the early Witcher tale that introduced us to Nivellen, Vereena and Andrzej Sapkowski's penchant for provocative endings. Over a bottle of Wilderness Trail Kentucky Straight Bourbon, one of the more challenging whiskeys we've h…

2:21:37

It's finally here! With The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep now streaming on Netflix, we're setting sail with Geralt and Jaskier as we unpack their newest animated movie. Over a bottle of Jefferson's Ocean Aged at Sea Bourbon, we search for pearls of the verbal variety while tackling all the tough questions. What do we think of the added events and cha…

We're back for an all-new season! We've heeded the siren's song (it's absolutely ear-piercing when you're nursing a hangover) and returned to the studio for a full season devoted to Witcher comics and animation, starting with the soon-to-debut Sirens of the Deep! We explain what we'll be discussing and what we won't, and how you can read and watch …

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! We hope the holidays treated you well. This week, we are back with Redwood Empire, surprise surprise. This is their wheated bourbon which is interesting because it is actually a 4 grain bourbon. Is this another wheated cinnamon bomb or is it a nice balanced bourbon?

Wild Turkey Single Barrel 1:06:19

2M ago1:06:19

1:06:19

It is no surprise that we enjoy Wild Turkey products. With that being said, we have never tried their single barrel, which is a bit pricier than most of their products but at 101 proof, it seemed intriguing and worth a try. With so many of the single barrels that we have tried being busts, will this one hold up to our hype of Wild Turkey? Whiskey: …

2:12:35

Is it last call already? Sadly, our fandom season has reached its end, but we're giving it an extra-sized, extra-sauced sendoff that's just as unhinged (and often unfortunate) as the year to which we're saying goodbye. Over some seriously strong Old Fashioneds, we unpack what we've discovered about fandom, revealing things that have surprised and d…

We’re simple people here at Whiskey With Witcher. We love geeky stuff and things that are high in alcohol, so it was only a matter of time until we spoke to a fan who combines both. This week, we say hello to Adam Carbonell, one of the authors of Supernatural: Join the Hunt, the official cocktail book of the Supernatural TV series. A longtime brewe…

Square 6 High Rye Bourbon - Evan Williams 1:37:14

One of the harder to find whiskeys if you do not make your way to the Evan Williams Experience in Louisville, KY is Square 6, a whiskey made at the Evan Williams Experience location. There are a few different varieties but we tried the High Rye. It is a very unique whiskey with plenty of flavor for the proof. Whiskey: Square 6 High Rye Bourbon from…

We don't hit 100 episodes every day, so perhaps we went a little overboard when planning and recording last week's milestone. But that just means the party's not over yet!

For those of you that have been around for a while, you may remember us reviewing Bowman Brothers Small Batch Bourbon with Bourbon of the Week. This week we review the single barrel version. It comes in at a slightly higher proof, is smooth and an overall interesting pour but with a steeper price point that brings up the argument as to whether or n…

That's 100 episodes of bourbon, bards, Brotherhoods, Blood Origins, bloopers, barrel-proofs, bone caves, broken bottles, bad subtitles, and beastly shots of bitter booze. Oh yes, and absolutely wonderful conversations about our favorite fantasy franchise with all of y…
