S2 E36 How Do You Spell Daiquiri?

Bob Cutler stirs up conversation—and two types of whiskey—on the George Hale Ric Tyler Show on VOM, trading his promised topic of daiquiris for a spirited lesson on toasted, finished, and flavored whiskeys. Bob shares Michter’s Toasted Barrel Bourbon and a maple-infused bourbon from Preservation Distillery to explain how barrel treatments and additives change a whiskey’s profile. Bob vowed to return and properly celebrate daiquiri season.

Key Topics

• Toasted vs. Flavored Whiskey – What the labels really mean and how they affect flavor and aging.

• The Anatomy of a Daiquiri – Even though it wasn’t made, Bob explained the three-part daiquiri build.

• Responsible Drinking Culture – Bob’s personal philosophy on alcohol, including why he skips St. Patrick’s Day.
