After an extended break, we're back. This week Gary breaks out the Traveller Whiskey, while David drinks Narrow Path Old Fashioned.

Traveller Whiskey is a collaboration between Grammy award winner Chris Stapleton and Buffalo Trace. The blended whiskey has complex aromas of vanilla, aged fruit and buttery shortbread rounded off by caramel and a touch of oak. The palate has just a touch of sweetness, followed by spice, toasted nut and oak flavors, with a robust finish.

Narrow Path Old Fashioned is a beer inspired by the popular cocktail. It's an amber lager with blood orange peels, Luxardo cherries & bourbon soaked oak chips.

We're back this week with a new episode, and David drinks a beer that is a collaboration between two of his favorite breweries, as Brink and Fretboard came together to produce Electric Llama.

Brink and Fretboard Electric Llama is a Bavarian Style IPA. This Bavarian IPA is moderate strength India Pale Ale made uniquely Bavarian by the use of new varietal German hops. Late additions of Tettnang and Calista hops give this ale notes of intense fruit and berries.

Gary also tells us a great story about how he got a private tour of the location of JFK's assassination when he was in Dallas.
