When considering marriage - WHEN do you know if she's "the right one"? What is it about a woman that makes her "WIFEY" material?For that matter - What IS WIFEY Material?? If you've had these questions and you've longed to know then this episode is for you!WHISKEY SPOTLIGHT:   Woodford Reserve Double Oaked BourbonIn this week’s episode, we drank “WOODFORD RESERVE Double Oaked Bourbon”. In an earlier podcast, we did a spotlight on Woodford Reserve and it was a great drink, so when I noticed the double oaked, I just knew I had to share this with everyone.Woodford Reserve Double Oaked is a rare whiskey that's fawned over by new and experienced drinkers. Bottled at a leaner 90.4 proof, it’s Woodford Reserve's 72% Corn, 18% Rye, 10% Malted Barley mash that's matured in a standard charred new oak barrel, dumped, then finished in another barrel that's been deeply toasted and charred as well. The result is a bourbon that starts sweet and vanilla-forward and finishes long with spice, smoke, leather and wood.I spent $65 for this 700ml bottle and although that may seem like a lot to most folks, it’s actually worth every penny spent. If you’re new to bourbon and you want a really great “sippin’ whiskey” I highly recommend the Woodford Reserve Double Oaked. I give it four out of five shot glasses!WARNING: Explicit Language is not edited out of this episode.

With the guys taking a break this week, Stitch wanted us to drop his all time favorite episode from the Inebriated Basement vault. This episode is titled “Sea Stories” and this one means a lot to me because it was the only show (so far) where my son, Ian was on the show. It was also the first time Magnus was with us. When Rick and I first started our podcast, we initially intended for it to be just a recording of two old guys, drinking and talking about things from “back in the day”.Growing up in the 70’s and 80’s was a great time and we wanted to share that with our small following of listeners. This particular episode was the first episode of our 2nd season and we decided to have guests on the show.With my son home from the Navy, we had Ian and Magnus come on the show to talk about “Their” Navy experience, while I compared their stories to the stories of MY Navy experience.  Needless to say, this one is my all time favorite episode from the days of Inebriated Basement. Rick, Mag and I will be back with an all new episode of The Gentlemen’s Nitery next week. In the meantime, enjoy this classic throwback - SEA STORIES. WARNING: Explicit Language is not edited out of this episode.

Confidence. In today’s society it’s seen as “cocky” or “arrogant”.

WHISKEY SPOTLIGHT - Redemption (two-year-old bourbon)  A truly easy drinking whiskey distinguished by its subtle rye-forward flavor, our bourbon has a rye content of 21%, giving it a light but distinct hint of spice.
