Whiskey Business

Tommy Gallo, from Gallo’s Kitchen and Bar in Columbus, was the last person we had on the podcast (in person) before bars and restaurants were shut down due to the pandemic. Where is he and the restaurant almost a year later? Listen to this very emotional podcast full of perspective and reflection along with a full serving of determination “not to fail.” Where will he and Gallo’s Kitchen go from here? It’s perspective that can apply to us all on this week’s Whiskey Business with Dino Tripodis. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Next week we warm up a little, but last week we were in the thick of it. Not as bad as Texas, but enough to remind us and reminisce about the Blizzard of ‘78 here in Ohio. Grab a pour and listen. Maybe you were around for it. If not...enjoy listening to us who were. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Veteran sportswriter, Todd Jones and now podcaster, joined Dino and the boys on Whiskey Business for some insight and reminiscing on his storied career of having one of the best seats in sports. From the press box to the locker room and points in between, Todd shared thoughts and memories of events and legendary figures from all aspects of the sports world. Join us for a fun and fascinating conversation that took place live on Facebook and YouTube with a lot of your own thoughts and questions in the mix. Learn more about your ad choices.

Whiskey Business welcomes back an old friend, Psychologist Dr. David Lowenstein to help us understand how to better cope in a world riddled by pandemic and political upheaval. Mental health cases, depression and feelings of apathy are on the rise and the good doctor tries to steer us back in the right direction. The problems of the world aren't solved in this podcast, but we gain some insight, some perspective and squeeze in a few laughs. We also usher in our 152nd “guest bottle” on the podcast, Bib & Tucker. A pretty good bottle of bourbon from Tennessee with some interesting flavor notes that would definitely appeal to the seasoned bourbon drinker. So, pour, listen and count this week as a free therapy session. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Whiskey Business kicks of 2021 with some remnants of 2020 as Billy Demora returns to address some of his rather accurate predictions that came to fruition the last time he joined us and also speculates on the weeks and months to come in respects to sports, politics and life as we live it in these still uncertain days. We also opened our 151st bottle on the show: Heaven Hill 7 year Bottled in Bond. That wasn’t predicted so much as planned. A great bottle if you venture out of Ohio and find one. We have high hopes and expectations for 2021 and we sincerely look forward to getting back to something that smacks of normalcy with all of you along for the ride. Thanks for sticking with us and...cheers! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It’s been a year, friends. We’ve been tested, tried, tempered and emotionally “fried.” And yet...still here. All of us at Whiskey Business want to thank you for sticking with us through all the madness and hope you enjoy this remote and somewhat modified Christmas installment. We’re going to take the “long winter’s nap” and come back into The Roaring 20’s with hope, joy, fun and yes...more whiskey. Until then, have a Merry Christmas and let’s all hope for best in 2021!

What are the Best Sports Movies of all time? We won't necessarily answer that question on this week’s Whiskey Business, but if you’re looking for lively debate, passion and cinematic controversy tossed in with a lot of laughs then look no further. With a bottle of Watershed’s Barrel Proof Bourbon aged in Nocino Barrels as our 150th bottle on the podcast, this one has something for just about everyone who is a fan of the genre. It also begs the question...why isn’t drinking a sport? If is was, we'd all be Olympians!

Whiskey Business went on a virtual journey and crossed a bridge back to “scotch whiskey” with the assistance of National Ambassador for Aberlour Scotch, Gemma Cole. The trip was delightful, educational and as I mentioned a nice bridge back to single malt whiskey. Aberlour will bring a lot of people back to the Single Malt fold as Gemma took Dino and the boys through 3 tastings: The Aberlour 12 year Speyside Single Malt, the Aberlour A’bunadh and the Aberlour A’Bunadh Alba. Our favorite? Tune in or watch on YouTube to find out. If you are looking for a smooth transition to reacquaint yourself with some single malt scotch, look and sip right here!

Whiskey Business went on location this week to one of the last bastions of public opinion: a barber shop. Thom Checkler, owner of The Olde Village Barbershop in Worthington, Ohio talked about how the barbershop has always been a “safe place” for opinion, rhetoric and debate and also how that’s been slightly altered during the current pandemic. Thom and Dino covered a lot of ground while he was in the chair: family, politics, Covid, sports, and some surprising insights into religion. A guest bottle of Tom Foolery...made here in Ohio...also found its way into the chair. Dino got a free hair trim out of the visit, but you’ll get even more after listening OR watching this latest installment of Whiskey Business.

Whiskey Business has the unique pleasure of hosting a podcast with Old Overholt and talking with rye specialist, Bradford Lawrence and American Whiskey Ambassador, Beth Burrows.

The World’s Most Superstitious Buckeye Fan, Bill DeMora returned for his 5th appearance on the podcast (which we humorously refer to as Cinco DeMora). But this year he is "The World’s Most Disappointed Buckeye Fan" since the Big Ten has postponed their season. Filled with opinions, rants, ravings and unsound reasoning, this may be one of Bill’s best appearances yet. Coupled with an election year in the wings and his work with the Democratic Party this podcast holds back nothing. Well...art least Billy doesn’t. The guest bottle is much more easy going as we try both the bourbon and rye from Colorado's 10th Mountain Distillery. Prepare to listen, laugh, and...maybe loathe. Cheers! Afterwards locate the four previous podcasts with Bill in our archives to see how we got here: www.whiskeybusinesspod.com whiskeybusinesspod@gmail.com www.facebook.com/Whiskey-Business-364099303922268 www.instagram.com/whiskeybusinesspodcast www.youtube.com/channel/UCZKK_jzRLaH54YsYicmutXg Learn more about 10th Mountain's story:

Whiskey Business had the pleasure of bringing Greg Lehman from Watershed Distillery back to the podcast for a moment 6 years in the making. Celebrating their 10th year in business, we were fortunate to taste their new limited release 6 year barrel strength bourbon. Coming in at a 119 proof this bottle continues to prove that Watershed is still growing and succeeding in the spirit world. The new whiskey gets released on September 19th starting at 9am at the distillery and will also be at select liquor agencies. Roll out the barrel! This one IS fun.

Whiskey Business had the pleasure of hosting the inventive minds of Columbus’ own Echo Spirits for a tasting of their brand new Straight Rye Whiskey. While their outstanding rum made with molasses AND sugar stands alone in its excellence, Joe Bidinger and Nikhil Sharoff put their love for whiskey history and tradition to work with a straight rye whiskey. While it's young, it stands up tall against some older ryes and makes a significant mark in the ever growing whiskey world. Pick up a bottle for yourself and try along with us.

James “Buster” Douglas, the former undisputed heavyweight champ of the world, joins us for this special episode of Whiskey Business. The Champ has entered a “new ring” of sorts with "Buster Douglas 42-1" a new bourbon bearing his name(42-1 were the odds against him when he shocked the world 30 years ago by defeating Mike Tyson for the heavyweight championship of the world). Dino and the boys talk about how the whiskey came to be a silver medal award winner in the 2020 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and of course about those odds and that legendary fight. Buster gets candid talking about his career, his family, the night he beat Tyson and his loss to Evander Holyfield. It’s an amazing conversation with a very humble man and STILL a champion in so many ways.

Whiskey Business is back with “The Fight Club” of the whiskey industry...black market bourbon, or what purchasers prefer to call the secondary market. The first rule of black market bourbon may be “Don’t talk about black market bourbon", but Dino and his guests Chay Miller and Sam Hilty did just that. In a lively, informative, and at times argumentative discussion the trio dive deep into the highs and lows of whiskey wheeling and dealing. They also revisit a bottle you don’t have to hit the black market for, Wild Turkey Longbranch, the whiskey love child of Eddie Russel and Matthew McConaughey. So enjoy a sip of your fave ill-gotten bourbon bootie and give a listen.
