Review: Taconic Bottled-in-Bond
Summary
John and Zeke kick off the episode with banter about summer lawn care and their past jobs at golf courses, including searching for lost balls and digging for pipes. They then review Taconic Bottled in Bond, a four-year-old, 100-proof bourbon priced around $56. Zeke describes the whiskey as crisp, sweet, and easy to drink, comparing its texture to a firm apple, while John notes its solid value for a craft release. The hosts recommend the bottle as a great daily drinker and encourage listeners to explore other Taconic releases, including a recent maple barrel collaboration.
