This week on The Whiskey Trip Podcast, Big Chief pulls back the curtain and introduces listeners to the woman behind the ride — Ms. Viv.

 

For years, she's been the quiet strength behind the microphone, the steady hand through the miles, and the heart that helped keep this journey moving forward. From long road trips and whiskey festivals to distillery visits and late-night recordings, Ms. Viv has stood beside Big Chief with unconditional love and support while embracing the whiskey life every step of the way. Along the journey, she became more than just a supporter — she became a true Whiskey Trippin' Woman.

 

On the first half, they sip on Giant Texas Distillery's Cask Strength Honey Cask from Houston, Texas, as Viv shares stories from years of traveling whiskey country together. From meeting incredible people to seeing firsthand how whiskey brings folks together, she opens up about life behind the scenes of The Whiskey Trip.

 

On the second half, they pour Maker's Mark Cask Strength and reflect on the ride they've built together — the sacrifices, the laughter, the memories, and the bond that turned a passion for whiskey into something much bigger than either of them imagined.

 

This episode is heartfelt, honest, and full of gratitude for the woman who has been there through it all.

 

The woman. The support. The soul.

The Whiskey Trip wouldn't be the same without her.

 

Episode out now. Take the Ride. Cheers.
