This week on The Whiskey Trip Podcast, Big Chief welcomes Caleb, the TX Whiskey Geek, for a conversation that celebrates the bold and innovative world of Texas Whiskey.
In the first half of the show, Big Chief pours a glass of Still Austin Red Corn Bottled in Bond (100 proof) while Caleb enjoys Milam & Greene Provisions—born in Kentucky, finished under the bold Texas sun, and bottled at 96 proof. The two discuss flavor, craftsmanship, and the stories that make these pours stand out.
In the second half, the proof rises as Big Chief sips on Ironroot Harbinger 115—the distillery's flagship bourbon with a mashbill of Purple Corn, Bloody Butcher Corn, Flint Corn, non-GMO Yellow Dent Corn, and Rye. Caleb goes all in with Ironroot Hubris Straight Corn Whiskey (117.8 proof), crafted from a mashbill of Heirloom Purple Corn, Red Flint Corn, and non-GMO Yellow Dent Corn. Together they explore how Ironroot honors heritage grains while pushing the boundaries of Texas whiskey innovation.
Beyond the bottles, Caleb shares his passion for the Texas Whiskey Trail. From his weekly travels to festivals and events, he supports the distilleries, highlights the people behind the spirits, and brings the community together through his voice and storytelling.
If you've ever wanted a guide to navigating Texas whiskey, this episode delivers the insight, energy, and authenticity that only a true whiskey geek can provide. And like every good pour, the ride doesn't end when the glass is empty—it continues with the people, the places, and the stories that make The Whiskey Trip worth taking.
