I Found WhistlePig by Accident, Whiskey News, Plus Puff Daddy & Keanu Reeves Cameos

John Starck Season 2 Episode 41

Welcome in, Whiskey Freaks. This episode dives into my unexpected visit to the WhistlePig tasting room in Quechee, Vermont, where I sat down with their Distillers Craft Flight and tried three premium ryes you almost never see on the shelves. I walk you through each pour and give them the full Keep It, Collect It, or Cull It treatment, along with some honest thoughts on flavors, finishes, and those eye-watering WhistlePig price tags.

We’ve also got a couple big whiskey stories on deck, including Heaven Hill’s new 90th Anniversary 9-Year release and the latest addition to World Whiskey Society’s Western Collection, the Henry Deringer American Single Malt. And to round things out, I drop a quick movie review of Good Fortune, starring Keanu Reeves, who proves once again he can pretty much do anything on screen.

A fun mix of news, pours, and one very serendipitous stop in Vermont. Let’s Go!
