The Whiskey Trip - Season 3, Episode 39 - Todd Grube & Dominic Sung, Houston Whiskey Social

This week on The Whiskey Trip, Big Chief sits down with Todd Grube and Dominic Sung to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Houston Whiskey Social.

We kick things off with a special Elijah Craig 10-Year private barrel selected for the anniversary, then dive into some legendary dusties. Todd brings out a 1994 Old Grand-Dad Bottled-in-Bond, followed by an unforgettable 1991 Austin Nichols Wild Turkey 101. To close, we raise a glass of Michter’s Barrel Proof Rye—a pick from the very first Social back in 2015.

Throughout the conversation, we talk about how the Houston Whiskey Social has grown into one of the premier whiskey events in the country. We explore why dusty bottles carry a flavor profile unlike anything on modern shelves and share advice on how to pace yourself when faced with so many rare and remarkable pours.

Listeners will also want to pay close attention, because there are three amazing giveaways tied to this episode. The details are all inside, and you won’t want to miss your chance.

Ten years in the making, this is more than just a whiskey festival—it’s a family reunion for bourbon lovers, rye hunters, and dusty chasers alike. Legendary bottles are cracked open, friendships are forged, and stories are poured neat. 

This week, you’re not just listening to a podcast—you’re climbing aboard and taking a ride on The Whiskey Trip. So grab your Glencairn, press play, and join us as we celebrate one of the greatest whiskey gatherings in the country.
