Happy Hour -- Fraser & Thompson North American Whiskey

Step into the world of whiskey appreciation with hosts Tony Katz and America's favorite amateur drinker, Fingers Malloy. This episode takes a delightful detour from bourbon to explore Fraser and Thompson North American Whiskey—launched by none other than crooner Michael Bublé. The hosts dive into a lively tasting session, debating the whiskey's butterscotch sweetness and oaky undertones while sharing laughs over spilled spirits and steak nuggets.

The conversation flows as smoothly as the whiskey they're sampling, wandering through topics like Southern beverages, the return of 90s relics among Gen Z, and why flip phones might be making a comeback in our social media-saturated world. With expert cigar pairings and humorous tangents about everything from sweet tea preferences to the lost art of film photography, this episode captures the casual camaraderie that makes whiskey appreciation so enjoyable.
