  • e. 30 The Dirty Thirty: 21 Year Seelbach's Light Whiskey and Mental Health Accountability

    e. 30 The Dirty Thirty: 21 Year Seelbach's Light Whiskey and Mental Health Accountability
    Oct 19 2026

    e. 30, the Dirty Thirty. General X, Lumpy, and Big Red crack a Seelbach's Private Reserve 21 Year cask strength American light whiskey at 145.4 proof and run it through the TST scale. It's a 99% corn Indiana barrel that noses like dessert and drinks like dragon's breath. Overall verdict: Banger.


    We also recap the Rare Character six flight tasting with Whiskey Gorilla at the Oviedo Bourbon Club, our surprise backroom tour at Forward Slash, and a pregame of Jimmy Red corn and a Still Austin cask strength rye single barrel pick that smells like bubblegum in grandma's candy dish.


    Then we get real about men's mental health and accountability: doing the homework between therapy sessions, being honest in the room instead of faking "fine," and what a real accountability partner looks like. We close with Am I the Asshole: a guy and his friends quietly freeze out a buddy because of his wife. Who's the asshole here?


    In this episode

    • What legally counts as an American light whiskey

    • Seelbach's 21 Year ratings: Appearance Banger, Nose Banger, Palate Banger, Finish Solid, Value split between Solid and Banger

    • Why "fine" usually means you're not fine

    • Brotherhood, chosen family, and calling out your friends' bullshit

    Stephen Lowery of Old Dominick sits down to talk Memphis's only distillery, the Huling Station story, what makes Tennessee whiskey its own category, Memphis's thirsty angels, and where to find Old Dom in Central Florida. Then we get into MGP putting its own name on the bottle, NDPs, and bourbon prices finally coming back down to earth.

    Cass, brand ambassador at Forward Slash, pours the new Threshold bourbon and Convergence rye, blended from Frey Ranch, Oregon Spirits, Finger Lakes, J. Henry & Sons and Brooklyn, plus a sneak peek at the Mizunara-finished cryptid series. Our new friend Bones the skeleton supervised.

  • e. 29 Old Dominick 8 Year Reserve, What Help Actually Looks Like, and Mom Crashes the Date | Bourbon Review

    e. 29 Old Dominick 8 Year Reserve, What Help Actually Looks Like, and Mom Crashes the Date | Bourbon Review
    Oct 2 2026

    General X, Lumpy, and Big Red crack the 2026 Old Dominick 8 Year Reserve Bourbon. It went in the barrel at 110 and came out at 100 proof, with cream soda on the nose and a mouthfeel you have to chew. The guys hype their first ever live bonus episode at the official Florida launch party for Old Dominick, hosted by Forward Slash in Winter Park. Then they pick up where the last two episodes left off and get into what asking for help actually looks like, with two role played first sessions: one with a therapist and one with a veteran counselor. They close it out with an AITA about a guy who brought his mom on a first date.


    What you'll hear:

    - Tasting the Old Dominick 2026 8 Year Reserve: dark mahogany color, cream soda and icing on the nose, caramel and tobacco on the palate, and a long oak finish.

    - The Old Dominick story, from Domenico Canale landing in Memphis in 1866 to the brand's revival in 2017.

    - Who Forward Slash is, and why non distiller producers (NDPs) are making noise right now.

    - What a first therapy session sounds like, what confidentiality covers, and why your therapist keeps asking the same safety question.

    - Why losing structure and purpose hits veterans and first responders so hard after they get out.
