🥃✨ NEW EPISODE DROPS SOON! ✨🍫

What do Aztec emperors, purple velvet bags, and your favorite after-dinner treat all have in common? They’re all part of our next pour on Whiskey@Work.

This week we’re talking about the brand-new Crown Royal Chocolate — how it went from a royal distillery in Canada all the way back through 5,000 years of cacao history… from sacred currency in Mesoamerica to a glass of whisky on your bar cart.

We’ll cover:
✅ The royal roots of Crown Royal 👑
✅ Why chocolate was once worth more than gold 🍫💰
✅ How barrels can naturally give whisky “chocolate” notes 🔥
✅ And of course… how this new release actually tastes.

🎙️ Tune in for a smooth, sweet, and a little bit nerdy episode that’s perfect for whisky fans and chocolate lovers alike.

This is too bad. I loved my visit to the distillery and meeting Fawn. I hope it works out. ~Houston

Uncle Nearest, the Tennessee whiskey brand founded in 2016 and named for the formerly enslaved distiller credited with influencing Jack Daniel’s, has been placed in federal receivership after a lawsuit from major lender Farm Credit Mid-America. The lender alleges the company defaulted on loans totaling $108 million, inflated barrel inventory used as collateral, misstated details about a $2.25 million Martha’s Vineyard home purchase, and kept far less cash on hand than required. Founder and CEO Fawn Weaver, who built the brand into a $1.1 billion self-declared valuation with aggressive marketing and global expansion, calls the accusations false and blames former CFO Mike Senzaki for any financial misstatements. The court-appointed receiver will manage the company, but the Weavers retain ownership. The case comes amid a whiskey industry slowdown, with smaller and newer brands hit hardest by declining sales, oversupply, and shifting consumer habits.

We have been living on Jack Daniel’s for ten straight days at the Sturgis Rally and loved every minute of it. 🥃

But even the best riding buddy needs to rest. This week on Whiskey@Work we are switching gears with The Dalmore 12-Year. It is a Highland single malt aged in rare Spanish Matusalem Oloroso sherry casks. Smooth, rich, and the perfect change of pace.

This week on Whiskey@Work, we’re diving into one of the wildest bottles we've ever cracked open: Mash & Mallow from Bardstown Bourbon Co.

Marshmallow. Chocolate. Whiskey.

We're asking the big questions:
👉 Has whiskey lost its soul or just found its sweet tooth?
👉 Are we witnessing innovation, or candy-coated chaos?
👉 And most importantly… is it any good?

🎙️ “Whiskey or Whimsy: The Candyfication of Bourbon” drops this week!
If you've ever paired a s’more with a pour, this one's for you.
