  • Golf High IQ - Short Game - Master the Shots that Matter
    Oct 29 2024

    In this new Golf High IQ series, Brian Bailie dives into the common challenges golfers face with their short game and sets the stage for an eight-week journey aimed at improving scrambling skills and proximity to the hole. He explains that effective short game play relies on understanding concepts, skills, assessments, and tracking—not just shots. The focus will be on proximity benchmarks, with emphasis on hitting within six-foot and twelve-foot circles to improve par-saving consistency. Training will cover various lie conditions and yardages to simulate real-course conditions. With a special acknowledgment for his friend Bill in the hospital, Brian invites everyone to follow along and also join the Whiskey High IQ series on Scotch, Irish rules, and pot stills, as both series mirror each other in building expertise.

  • Bonus #98 Tasting History - Ferncullen Single Malt
    Oct 28 2024


    Just wrapped up a tasting of Ferncullen, a single malt from the Powerscourt Estate in Ireland, coming in at 92 proof. Priced around $40-45, it has a pale color and thin legs, suggesting youth. On the nose, I found lots of floral and honey notes, giving it a strong but enjoyable scent, earning a 3. The taste is smooth yet slightly bitey, with floral fruitiness and a honey sweetness that lingers, also scoring a 3. The finish is clean and medium in length, reinforcing the honey notes. Overall, I rated it a solid 3 out of 5—definitely a whiskey I'd enjoy if offered and wouldn’t hesitate to add to my collection if I came across it. Cheers! 🥃 #GolfCast #Golf #Whiskey #IrishWhiskey #SingleMalt #WhiskeyTasting #Cheers

  • Bonus #99 Tasting History - Bulleit Single Barrel
    Oct 24 2024

    Just wrapped up a review of Bullet Single Barrel, and it’s a game changer! This high-proof beauty (120 proof, 6-8 years old) offers a deep amber color, rich oak, vanilla, and a spicy kick that elevates the classic Bullet profile. I gave it a solid 3.5 for finish and a 4 for taste—definitely smoother than expected for the proof. If you’re into high-rye whiskeys, this one is worth a shot!

  • Bonus: #100 Bulleit Frontier Whiskey - Tasting of History
    Oct 23 2024


    In this tasting, we dive into Bulleit Bourbon, a whiskey with a personal significance as the one that opened my eyes to the diverse flavors of whiskey. It's a high-rye bourbon with 68% corn, 28% rye, and 4% malted barley, and though it may not be everyone's favorite, it holds a sweet spot for me. The whiskey presents a nice copper color, thick legs, and a nose full of caramel, vanilla, and spice. On the palate, it's warm and sweet upfront, with cinnamon, honey, and fruit on the finish, showing a bit of complexity for its price range. The finish is medium with lingering spice and smoothness. Overall, I rate it a solid 3—it's a good introduction to the high-rye bourbon market, delivering balanced spice and boldness. Cheers!
