Nothing brings friends together quite like celebrating life's victories over a good glass of bourbon. In this episode, we're joined by special guest David, the Motor City Hypnotist, as we crack open some long-neglected "orphan bottles" and share stories that range from triumphant to heartwarming.
The spotlight first falls on Matt's incredible achievement - his first-ever hole-in-one after 17 years of golfing. The pure, unfiltered joy captured in the moment when his 5-iron shot disappeared into the cup on a 185-yard par 3 is something every golfer dreams about. "They call me Ace now," Matt jokes, still riding the high of that perfect shot at Westbourne Golf Club. The story sparks a larger conversation about our varied golfing experiences, from Jamie's childhood lessons with his father to Dave's relatively recent entry into the sport.
Our whiskey journey centers around a bottle with its own story to tell - New Holland's Beer Barrel Bourbon. Sent to us nearly seven years ago, this 80-proof bourbon aged in American white oak and finished for three months in Dragon's Milk stout barrels had been sitting untouched on our shelf after plans for a distillery interview fell through. We finally give this orphaned spirit its moment, discovering notes of stone fruit, a distinct beer finish on the palate, and contemplating how it might perform in cocktails compared to our welcome drink - a robust 110-proof Russell's Reserve private barrel selection.
Between sips, Dave shares his excitement about welcoming a new puppy into his home after losing his beloved Pippin two years ago, while Jamie recounts tales of his 19-year-old cat Kirby and newly adopted rescue dog Raina who's developed a particular fondness for ice cubes (or "water cookies" as Jamie affectionately calls them).
Whether you're a bourbon enthusiast, a golfer chasing that perfect shot, or simply enjoy genuine conversation among friends, this episode captures what Man Cave Happy Hour is all about - celebrating life's moments together, one glass at a time.
