This week we're sipping Tin Cup Fourteen, the Mount Sneffels release, and following a thread that ties straight back to last week's pour. Same Colorado founder, a different bottle, and a story that wanders from a ghost town saloon at ten thousand feet to a Jules Verne novel that somehow ended up on a Colorado license plate.

There's a high-rye mash bill aged fourteen years, a tiny splash of single malt hiding inside, and a mountain named after an Icelandic volcano because a surveyor in 1874 was apparently really into science fiction.

Pour something interesting. We'll do the climbing for you.

Mark heads to Colorado and comes back with a bottle of Stranahan's Distiller's Experimental Series: Cherry Soda, a three-cask finish you won't find on most shelves, with only 1,400 bottles made.

The backstory behind Stranahan's involves a volunteer firefighter, a physicist who liked dynamite a little too much, and a barn fire that somehow turned into one of America's best-selling single malts. Rob and Mark pour a glass, dig into the new American single malt category, and try to figure out if cherry cola belongs in whiskey.

Also covered: walls of Weller, Denver drivers, and the most interesting word in the episode (it rhymes with hickory).

Pour something good and settle in.

A Highland warrior in 1544 leans off his horse, plucks a tiny white flower, and tucks it into his bonnet. His clan wins the battle. Centuries later, that same lucky bloom ends up on a bottle in our glasses.

This week, Rob and Houston pour White Heather 15, the blended scotch resurrected by Billy Walker (the guy who turned Glenallachie into a legend). Three casks, two countries, one Highland fairy theory we won't spoil here.

It's Cinco de Mayo, so Rob and Mark are skipping the bourbon and drinking tequila their boss brought back from Mexico while admittedly day drunk. He wanted them to find out if he got taken. He probably did.

The Campo Segrado añejo smells amazing and tastes like a mint julep, which sends them down a rabbit hole on the four additives that can legally go into a tequila bottle without showing up on the label. Then there's the couple in Guadalajara who built a website to expose it all and got their house raided for it.

After that, El Padrino mezcal. It's smoky, a little weird, and honestly worth your time, especially if bourbon is your thing and you've never given it a real shot.

You're standing in a liquor store, staring at a wall of bottles. You have no idea what to grab. That feeling? That's exactly why pourmore.com exists.

This week we sat down with Greg Cohen, the marketing guy at Pourmore, a subscription spirits club that ships hand-selected bottles straight to your door. We're talking tequila-finished bourbon, American single malt, and a cask strength rye that Greg swears doesn't drink at 121 proof. He's not wrong.

We dig into how Pourmore actually works, how they navigate the nightmare of shipping laws across 45 states, and what it's like to build a community around whiskey discovery rather than bottle hunting. Greg also walks us through the three bottles he sent us, and yeah... we're believers.

Oh, and after we wrapped up recording, we got some news worth mentioning. Pourmore.com is now available in South Dakota! So no more shipping to your brother in North Dakota and driving it back. Go sign up.
