Welcome to Inside the Ropes for the week of December 15 with host Brian Bailey—where offseason golfers, whiskey lovers, and cigar folks gather quietly while everyone else “shuts it down.” This episode is built in four purposeful parts: why next season’s goals fade (the Goal Proximity Effect with Dr. Mike), why whiskey mastery can’t be rushed (a distiller’s reflection from Devil’s Due), why rebellion can produce a cigar worth trusting (Drew Estate Undercrown Maduro + pairing strategy), and why the ritual still matters when plans go sideways (a Claytor Lake cigar gone swimming story that hits a little too close to home). It’s Spark. Sip. Swing. Adventure—plus a final glimpse at what’s coming next with Whiskey Golf Trails in 2026.
If you want to go deeper—magazine, rankings, community, Pour Decisions, and the projects we’re building—join us at https://golfcask.com and send an in-system message inside GolfCask if you have recommendations (or want in on the trail).
