Whiskey news from a pair who don't know Jack.
The PodCask: a Podcast About Whiskey is a loose conversation between Will and his co-host, the Greeze, about whiskey news, release prices and which bottles are still sitting on liquor store shelves. Jokes and life updates run through all of it, and sometimes an interview, such as one with Jack Daniel's historian Nelson Eddy, turns the talk toward history.

The PodCask: a Podcast About Whiskey is a loose conversation that follows the whiskey business closely and keeps the jokes coming. Will handles the introductions and trades jokes with his co-host, the Greeze. The openings often wander. One compares the state of the whiskey world to a zoo where the kangaroos started punching people. Another begins with a mock breaking-news bulletin about a house repair and a third camper bought in five years. When the news does arrive, the pair tend to judge it by what it does to people. On the Uncle Nearest lawsuit, they stress that the claims are alleged and that the company has not yet given its side. Then they turn to what layoffs could mean for the employees, and for the restaurants, hotels and sales tax of the town around the company. The market talk stays close to the store shelf. They remember a Peerless release that was not well received at its price, though they still praise the brand's double oak whiskey. Russell's Reserve 13 comes up because it is back after a year-long break. They also have a theory about why a Four Roses single barrel lingers on shelves: fewer people make a casual liquor store run just to see what is in stock. Episode titles such as 'Tasting Wild Turkey 8 Year + Updates on Eagle Rare, Old Fitz, and Belle Meade' and 'The Age Statement Renaissance' show how wide the subjects range. By the hosts' own account, they don't do many interviews. They made an exception for Nelson Eddy, the historian at Jack Daniel's, after meeting him on a media trip for the Jack Daniel's 14 year. That conversation covers label copy on the old No. 7, the Mayberry feel of downtown Lynchburg, Tennessee, and the brand's place among the most recognizable trademarks in the world. When the show's sign-off comes around, Eddy says he might have to use it himself. 'Tennessee Gets Ready: Inside the 2025 Southern Whiskey Society Experience' brings in a guest named Tiny, and the talk turns to a tequila space being tried at the event to see how whiskey drinkers take to high-end tequila. Personal life is never kept out of any of this. After three or four weeks away, the Greeze came back to describe a hospital stay with pneumonia, with a joke about the emergency room fee included. The show closes on the line the hosts say they always use: 'we don't know Jack, but we'll drink it.' That comes with a pitch for Patreon, where supporters can join live video calls called town hall and virtual bar night. For a first listen, the Nelson Eddy interview suits anyone drawn to Jack Daniel's history, and the Uncle Nearest episode shows how the pair handle harder industry news.
Made for: Suits a whiskey drinker who keeps an eye on releases, prices and industry headlines and likes hearing them talked through by two co-hosts who drift happily into jokes and personal stories.
What sets it apart: Its news talk stays practical, from what a release cost and whether it sold to what a lawsuit could mean for a town's restaurants and hotels, and the jokes and life updates run through the whole conversation instead of waiting for the end.
