Served up with a twist of rhetorical fallacy-- this is ‘If By Whiskey’.
In this episode, we introduce the new brand! We unravel the diabolical brilliance of Noah “Soggy” Sweat’s legendary “If by whiskey” speech—a cunning dance of words that both condemns and praises whiskey in the same breath.

Grab a glass—of whatever you choose—and let’s dive in.
