Ep. 6: "Deserve’s Got Nothing to Do with It” – Unforgiven, Jack, Four Roses, & Store Brand Cigars
In this episode of Two Guys on a Porch, we dive deep into the ultimate Western, - Unforgiven. Exploring the film’s portrayal of complex characters who are just human, Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman, and Morgan Freeman bring to life a gritty, no-holds-barred look at a world where there are no easy answers, and we all carry our flaws.
We talk single barrel whiskey and compare Jason’s Jack Daniels Single Barrel and Four Roses' unique use of 10 different bourbon recipes for their single barrel. What are the corn mash differences?
Ever wondered why single barrel whiskey is so special? We explain how bourbon is usually a blend, but when you get a single barrel, it’s all about the unique character of one barrel, influenced by the rickhouse placement and mash bill.
We light up a couple of store-label cigars, sharing our thoughts on the experience with a guillotine cut. Will it pass the highly-regarded—scientific taste test of “Cat Shit breath in the morning”?
Like the characters in Unforgiven, we all have our share of failings, but there’s something undeniably honest about how we all make our way through this rough world. This is another reason we need friends.
Join us as we discuss life, whiskey, cigars, and the modern Western that challenges what we think we know about good, evil, and redemption.
