Ever stared at a Four Roses label and wondered what those letters actually taste like? We pulled on the baseball tees, poured a mystery single barrel at 100 proof, and put our palates to the test—no hints, just noses, notes, and a friendly wager. What started as happy hour turned into a crash course on mash bills, yeast strains, and how recipe codes like OBSF, OESO, and OESK map to real flavor in the glass.
We break the code in plain English. “B” or “E” tells you the corn and rye balance, the final letter reveals the yeast’s aromatic fingerprint, and together they shape everything from apple and cocoa to baking spice and mellow oak. As the glass opens, we talk through ethanol on the nose, how sweetness and spice trade places between sip two and three, and why color rarely gives away the profile. One taster locks on apple, another gets a bright rye lift, and the reveal proves how yeast and mash bill can be heard if you know where to listen.
Then comes the question every bourbon fan asks: is the $100 single barrel really better than the beloved Four Roses Small Batch you can actually find? We compare structure, finish, and versatility, and we’re honest about price-to-pleasure. Along the way, we share practical tips—how to taste smarter at home, why bar markups on staples like Sazerac Rye change the calculus, and which salty snacks dial up sweetness while taming heat. It’s whiskey nerdery without the pretense, wrapped in laughs and a clear takeaway you can use on your next store run.
If you love decoding labels, exploring mash bills and yeast strains, or just want a reliable guide to Four Roses single barrels, this pour is for you. Hit play, taste along, and tell us your pick. Enjoying the show? Tap follow, drop a review, and share this with a friend who thinks they can guess the code by nose alone.

Well, yeah, but we were up inthe mountains, so there was
snow.
August Gitschlag (06:24):
There was snow with the aliens at area.
Matt Fox (06:26):
And this was in March of 2020, and I'm so married to
the four roses, it was rightwhen COVID was rear rearing its
ugly head.
And I bought a bottle of fourroses, not the small batch, just
the regular four roses, and Iwas gonna use that drink on it
all week long because we'regonna be there for the entire
week.
I got there on Saturday.
August Gitschlag (06:46):
You got into that bottle, didn't you?
Matt Fox (06:48):
We were informed on Sunday that we were going home
on Monday because of COVID.
So shit out of that bottle allday Sunday, all day, Sunday, and
Sunday night when we had apotluck because everyone had
bought food for the entire week.
We had to eat it.
August Gitschlag (07:02):
I mean, I just joke about wild turkey,
whatever, and how I like it.
And buddy of mine goes, youknow, we always make fun of you
because I drink wild turkey asmy my shot of choice at feather
blowing.
And whether we had a good roundor a bad round, I reward myself
or punish myself for the wildturkey.
And one of the guys goes, Youknow, Ug, I we always tease you
for the wild turkey.
He goes, Yeah, I picked up abottle the other day.
(07:23):
I saw a bottle, I picked it up.
I'm like, why not?
At the price point, it was likeit was at the counter, you
know, and I'll be damned if Ididn't get into it and it didn't
uh didn't last a weekend.
I'll be damned a weekendbecause you don't feel guilty.
Jamie Flanagan (07:36):
Well, I'd be a mother sending it to an early
grave because uh you didn'tspend that much on it.
August Gitschlag (07:42):
And and this, which I'm sipping on now, yeah,
um, is the Myers rum aged in theSazerac barrels.
Matt Fox (07:48):
Oh, that's M Y E R S, not M-E-I-J-E-R.
August Gitschlag (07:52):
Right.
Not the family that owns thebig box store.
I'm just busting your balls.
That's all.
I know.
Well, they're here to bebusted.
All right.
Consider them busted.
So the Myers, a very uniquetaste.
I put a little agave syrup inthere um to sweeten it up like
the to sort of old-fashioned it.
Uh-huh.
Because uh, yeah, the Myers rumin the Sazerac barrels are
nice.
So I like my Sazerac.
(08:14):
Yes, you do.
And as a Sazerac, it's acocktail Sazerac, which is made
differently than just a plainSazerac.
It's a Sazerac.
Matt Fox (08:22):
So is it a Sazerac?
Yeah.
Jamie Flanagan (08:26):
That's the thing with the Sazerac rye.
It gets confused.
I want a Sazerac.
Oh, yeah.
Well, what do you want in that?
Well, but it could be theSazerac cocktail, which is a
different says a differentpiece.
That gets a little confusing.
For some.
August Gitschlag (08:39):
Yes, it does.
Jamie Flanagan (08:40):
Who's who's on first?
Spam, spam, spam, spam, spam.
Something with just a littlespam in it.
Sorry.
August Gitschlag (08:47):
Um we've gone down a money python rabbit hole
here before.
So now, yeah, so parrot's dead.
Jamie Flanagan (08:54):
That weird is no mall.
It has ceased to be.
unknown (09:03):
Pully pulley, bully, bully.
Theme Song (09:05):
That rabbit's gonna streak a mile away.
Matt Fox (09:09):
I need a book it.
August Gitschlag (09:10):
All right, so but uh four roses.
Four roses.
So yes, you've you've used uhpainter's tape to to hide the
version this is.
Jamie Flanagan (09:17):
Yes, so there's uh they have a single barrel,
right?
And they've had a singlebarrel.
Yes, and then they came outwith uh three more unique, so
there's a total of four singlebarrels.
Uh uh mash bills andexpressions.
Uh each.
Okay, I get it.
I know what you're saying.
Yes.
And then so, but there's uh, soyou guys grab a piece of paper,
(09:40):
Matt.
I got a pen, you got a pen,share some paper over there.
Uh you got some learning to do.
There's just sticky note.
There's your sticky note.
You got some learning to do.
All right.
Well, you don't have to writethis down yet, but when we get
into it, so there's fourletters, right?
There's uh, what do we gothere?
We'll got uh can I get anotherpiece of the OBSF I broke my
sleep OESO and the uh OES K.
(10:03):
But you don't have to writethat.
OESO.
I gotta write it down.
I'll do it, I'll give it alittle bit.
We'll get it later.
We'll get it later.
So each expression has a has adifferent set of letters, right?
And so they they stand forsomething.
And I have a tab here open thattells us what they stand for.
So the letters um stand for theO stands for the old apprentice
(10:25):
distillery.
Um and then the second letteruh for the specific mash bill,
the B or the E will stand forthe specific mash bill.
Uh, and then the S is for thestraight bourbon whiskey.
Uh so the first and the thirdletter uh will always be the
same, right?
So there's always an O, there'salways an S.
(10:47):
Uh, and then the other twochange depending on what strain
you have.
Matt Fox (10:52):
Oh, for goodness sake.
Jamie Flanagan (10:53):
Um strain I was as if it's a version of COVID.
Matt Fox (10:56):
I was under the understanding there would be no
math.
Jamie Flanagan (10:58):
But no, actually, because the last one
there's there's there's V, K, O,Q, or F.
Uh, and those are the differentyeast strains.
So it is it is a different, itis really a different strain.
August Gitschlag (11:08):
That's beer nerd level stuff now.
So it's stuff that Malsa wouldbe involved in.
Jamie Flanagan (11:12):
It is, it is so the uh the yeast you use in your
honey, right?
Matt Fox (11:16):
The B, which is the mash bill, right?
Jamie Flanagan (11:18):
The the B the B or the E, right?
Yeah, the B or the E are boththe mash bill.
The B is 60 corn, 30 you know,35 rye, and 5% multidirlate.
Uh so Matt's like you don'treally have to write that down.
I was just I'm just sharingwell.
Matt Fox (11:33):
I got if we're gonna be taste testing this, I gotta
know what I'm talking about.
Jamie Flanagan (11:36):
All right, the E is 75% corn, 20% rye, and 5%
multiviolet.
So there you go.
So that's that's the differencebetween the B and the E.
All right.
So uh it's it's a deep dive inall of it.
So that's what the lettersstand for, right?
So it's it's the mash bill andthe yeast strain.
So it signifies what the mashbill and the yeast strain is.
(11:57):
That's fair.
And then they're all from theold prentice distillery, and
they're all straight bourbonwhiskies.
So there you go.
So there's there's the there'sthe three.
So I have one of them becausethey they run about a hundred
bucks.
August Gitschlag (12:08):
Uh MSRP is close to uh $100 for the booze
and a baseball jersey today.
Wow, it's like Halloween.
Jamie Flanagan (12:15):
We got candy and gifts.
I don't know.
I was like, I had this on.
I hadn't shown Colleen and Ihad it on, and I didn't think
she saw it, and I had my coat onalready, and she walks up and
she was leaving too, and thenshe stops, she turns around, she
comes back, she opens my coat,and then she just like she
didn't say anything.
She just opens my coat, lookedat it.
Of course, she had no pants on,looked at yeah, looked at me,
(12:37):
and then just shut my coatvigorously and rolled her eyes
and said, Okay, well, I'm goingand what she told me, whatever
she was doing.
And so I'm like, That's justdisdain.
Was she not gonna say onlinewhat we were doing anyway?
August Gitschlag (12:52):
Uh no, she didn't watch, and that's no,
she'll watch the one time youdon't want her to.

I got it.
All right.
Hang on, hang on.
All right.
So that's a nice color.
Matt Fox (19:09):
That's a little ethanol on the nose, but it's I
gotta get used to it first.
Jamie Flanagan (19:13):
It's just we just open it up.
Let it breathe, man.
Jesus.
These are all I am breathing.
These are all seven to nineyears.
Uh they're all have a seven tonine year age statement on them.
Matt Fox (19:25):
And they're all 100-proof.
Is the OBSF age longer than theOESO?
Jamie Flanagan (19:29):
No, they're all three of them are labeled seven
to nine years.
Okay.
So it's a crapshoot.
Yeah.
August Gitschlag (19:40):
All right.
My palate is cleansed.
Matt Fox (19:44):
Oh, you you got some chips in you, did you?
Okay.
August Gitschlag (19:46):
Ruffles for the wind.
Jamie Flanagan (19:49):
See, I know, and I've just read these, and so I
know what I'm looking for.
August Gitschlag (19:52):
Yeah.
Jamie Flanagan (19:54):
So I'm I I was pretty sure now I know I know.
August Gitschlag (19:57):
Yep, I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure I
got this.
Jamie Flanagan (19:59):
And I'm not even good at this shit.
Matt Fox (20:01):
I haven't tried it yet.
So knowing what you know basedon the color, is it rep is it
does it stand true to the color?
You said you said that all thecolors are the same.
August Gitschlag (20:12):
Yeah, well in the in the store, they're all
very comparable.
Yeah, so the rich fruits isn'tnecessarily a giveaway by the
color.
No, yeah, no, no.
No, I I think I got it.
Jamie Flanagan (20:20):
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Um, oh, that was not a happyface there, Matt.
No, no, I I okay.

It was fun.
Yeah, she's always Vino isalways uh right.
August Gitschlag (20:43):
She had that $300 wine recorking contraption.
It looked like you could do eyesurgery with it.
Small tiny needle thing.
I think Atagorn gas.
Jamie Flanagan (20:53):
Atagorn.
All right.
So um one does not walk intoMordor.
Oh, go on.
So, all right, let's see.
Can we make this interesting?
Matt Fox (21:03):
I think I know I think I know which one it is.
Yeah, me too.
I think right away.
I think I got it.
Jamie Flanagan (21:07):
I think it's all pretty much a different one.
Uh, yeah, right.
Well, I but I know, so I know,and I I I I I'm feeling it.
Matt Fox (21:14):
I will go out on a limb myself.
I will be the first.
Jamie Flanagan (21:17):
Matt, um, writing it down.
August, which one do you thinkit is?
Okay, all right, Matt, what doyou think it is?
Matt Fox (21:26):
I circled it.
It's down the right-hand cornerthere.
Jamie Flanagan (21:28):
All right, you guys have picked something
different.
Yeah, you guys picked somethingdifferent, and only one of you
is correct.
Uh oh.
Wouldn't it be great if youwere both wrong?
August Gitschlag (21:37):
So one of us has to stand up without pants on
if we lose.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
On camera.
For the ladies.
Matt Fox (21:42):
On camera.
Jamie Flanagan (21:44):
One for the ladies.
Matt Fox (21:46):
Free speech, not that free.
Jamie Flanagan (21:48):
All right.
So, Matt, what did you pick andwhy did you pick it?
Matt Fox (21:51):
I picked the O E S K.
Oh, yes, K.
Because the last one.
It felt very corn forward.
Okay.
And there was the fuck you feelcorn forward.
Because I've had Are you aSomalier of No, because I've
been about because I've drankJoe Lewis Bourbon.
Yeah, we drank that Joe Lewis.
I had a real muscle memory.
Jamie Flanagan (22:17):
Very much so.
On the third sip, this is uhyeah, there's something
happening on the third sip.
All right, go ahead.
Matt Fox (22:22):
Anyway, yeah, OESK because of the uh it had a
really corn forward feel to it,yeah, and I really felt the
baking spices that you hadmentioned.
Okay, and I really wasn'tfeeling tea leaves, but it's
just the spices hit me right offthe bat.
Jamie Flanagan (22:36):
All right, all right.
I guess what did you which onedid you pick?
The OBSF.
August Gitschlag (22:42):
Because the apple went right up my nose the
minute I stuck my.
Oh, you got apple out of itstraight away, okay, okay.
Right away.
And then it's it's I drink alot of rye, and I got the rye
heat in the back.
As I was talking about drinkingthe spiciness of a rye, and it
had it said it had the rye backto it, was mentioned
specifically.
So uh that's kind of where Iwent.
Jamie Flanagan (23:01):
August is our winner.
Matt Fox (23:03):
I'm taking my pants off right now.
That's right.
unknown (23:06):
Woo!
Jamie Flanagan (23:07):
All right, so yes, I I when I tasted it and I
was like, I sipped it, and I waslike, oh, wait a second, I went
back to the thing.
I was like, I thought I feltthe rye.
Yeah.
August Gitschlag (23:20):
More so than the fruits or any baking spices.
It was definitely an apple thatI got.
Jamie Flanagan (23:25):
I did because I like I covered up, I covered up
because it's big on the neck,and then I was like, oh, cool,
that's it.
And then I noticed it wasreally big on the back of the
bottle, so I covered that uptoo.
Matt Fox (23:34):
Um, but yes, I had a 33% chance of getting it right.
Jamie Flanagan (23:37):
You did.
Everybody had a 33% chance.
August Gitschlag (23:40):
Uh oh, you didn't use painter's tape.

We uh my uh my good friends have finally
opened up their place in Grosswell, Gross Point, Detroit
border, the old uh Lost River.
Oh yeah, yes, you had mentionedthat the 1880s techno bar.
They uh they're trying to havethey they claim to have, and
this is what you guys want theperfect pour of Guinness.
Matt Fox (26:26):
Oh, okay, really jam.
Yeah, it's better thancorporate Buffalo Wild Wings.
Well, that's what they'retrying to do.
August Gitschlag (26:33):
All right, so we'll see.
We'll see.
I don't know how much longerthey're they're they're just
getting their shit together.
They're soft open after softopen.
There, we went in there onWednesday last week, yeah.
And every bar still is filled,sure, but you know, no TVs on,
they only turn TVs on forsoccer, right?
Right.
You know, the English bar.
Bless you, English pub, but nofish and chips with lots of
oysters.
Okay, yeah, they have tablesnow, it's coming along.
(26:55):
All right, so we're gonna gowe'll visit them when they think
that they're ready to have usfor their next channel.
But they they have a patiothere.
This is such a small place thatlike filling in a spot there
can be like kind of jams you inthere.
Matt Fox (27:09):
I know now's the perfect time to get there before
it gets really cold.
August Gitschlag (27:12):
Yeah, you can still go outside on the patio.
But but inside's where you wantto be because it's so eclectic.
The decorations are great.
So those are on the on myagenda for the future of our of
our podcast with these outfits.
Yeah, and then we got uh wegotta have we have the yellow
pants with the black stripe thatgoes with it, like like the
Savannah Banana style.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
What are they the savannah bananas are coming into
town?
August Gitschlag (27:33):
No, they're not, they're sending the other
clowns, the party animals andthe firefighters.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
And I hate that I know that because I hate the
Savannah bananas.
I hate them.
August Gitschlag (27:40):
Hate them.
How do you think that's what wedo what's wrong with Ball
today?
Yeah, I just I won't even go toJimmy John Field.
I think that that's that themore appropriate spot for them.
Yeah, that's where they shouldbe.
Where are they playing?
Comerica.
But it's not the Savannahbanana, it's like the other two
teams in the league.
The other banana, it's theother banana ball.
Banana ball, you know.
You have to have X amount oftrick plays per inning.
Matt Fox (28:02):
It's yeah, where they got guys on uh on like high-rise
stirrups, tilts, and balls.
August Gitschlag (28:07):
They gotta smack, they go to catch the
ball, they gotta catch it intheir shirts, and it's just or
they do a flip in the catch.
I can't stand it.
Yeah, bastardizing it.
I know I get it, it's theHarlem Globe Trotters of
baseball.
Matt Fox (28:17):
Bayern.
August Gitschlag (28:18):
Well, no, that's uh San Francisco.
That's there.
Purer than that.
I don't know.
It just drives me nuts.
Matt Fox (28:24):
You're a purist, August.
Just admit it.
I am admitted.
Jamie Flanagan (28:28):
It's bastardizing the whole it's for
a bunch of little kids.
Matt Fox (28:32):
But that's why you have folks like Otani that can
fucking hit a home run threetimes in one freaking game.
After striking out six people,no, or striking out ten and six
innings.
Was it ten and six innings?
August Gitschlag (28:44):
Yeah, let's still get up there and swing it.
Yeah, the man is just in thegreat postseason except for that
one game, which is consideredthe greatest game in baseball
history.
Yeah, really.
Okay, he pitched, he struck outten, pitched six innings,
struck out ten, and hit threehome runs, three home runs.
Three home runs.
One of them is still flying outof Chavez ravine.
Matt Fox (29:02):
Yeah, he hit it out of Dodger Stadium, it's still in
the air.
I believe it.
I believe it.
Wow, but Mac Scherzer tonight,yeah, him pitching.
Yeah, this will be a wasn't heours?
Yes, he was.
He this is an historic event inMLB history because he's uh
only the third pitcher to pitchfor three different teams in a
world series.
August Gitschlag (29:22):
Uh and I think all three of those teams are
still paying him.
I do think Texas uh is stillpaying him.
I think uh where was he lastyear?
Uh did he pitch for us in aworld series?
Uh yeah, yeah, okay.
Absolutely he did.
Matt Fox (29:34):
What that was because we had the world series that was
2006.
August Gitschlag (29:37):
When when the fat panda from San Francisco
single handedly beat us himself,yeah, that guy.
Fucking fat panda.
Dude, the Giants didn't have tobe.
Was that the last time we werein the series?
Yeah.
No, no, then it was theCardinals that beat us up, too.
Yeah, um, I can't rememberwhich one was first now.
They kind of blur together.
Anyways, the San FranciscoGiants did something
unprecedented today uh thisweek.
They hired the a new managerfrom college.
(29:58):
What?
The hair of the university.
University of Tennessee'smanager.
Unheard of to hire in baseball.
Unheard of to hire a collegemanager in the pros.
Matt Fox (30:08):
Just like right off right off the bench.
Just right into the pros.
August Gitschlag (30:11):
Yep.
I mean, Tennessee has a greatprogram.
They've been historicallygreat.
He's uh he's got a culturethere.
People rave about him.
He wasn't the batting coach, hewasn't the first base coach, he
just went to head coach frommanager of Tennessee to manager
of the Twitter.
Holy snakes, that's a boldmove.
Very because I mean these guys,he's got to deal with people
like Raphael Devers, who's kindof like an egotistical prick and
makes 10 times more money thanhim.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
Right.
August Gitschlag (30:31):
You know, college ball, you're the boss.
These are a bunch of kids, youknow.
It's different.
So we'll see.
I'm I'm I'm rooting for him.
Hope it works out.
That's okay.
Bring it more than you expectedin the baseball podcast tonight
with our baseball jerseys.
Jamie Flanagan (30:46):
Yeah, I broke out.
August Gitschlag (30:47):

window, playing it out to thebaseball beat.

more than I did today.
Matt Fox (31:45):

grown up as I've got to be.
I've grown up, yes.
Grown up, up and down.
Hey Jamie, you want to throw mea little more nip in there?
Jamie Flanagan (31:53):
So this one, this on the bottle, it says
there's uh uh delicate rye,which is what I got first,
apple, mint, clove, and cocoa.
August Gitschlag (32:03):
Definitely clove.
Now, is this I didn't get thecorn, but that was probably did
you pick this one based on theon the profile, or did you just
grab one and said and go?
Jamie Flanagan (32:11):
Uh yeah, I picked it because this is the
one that had the uh mediumamount of corn, and so that's
why I went with that.
You want the 60% corn?
August Gitschlag (32:20):
Oh, you too are a corn nerd.
Jamie Flanagan (32:22):
I I went a little lower on the corn, and
that it was uh there wassomething that attracted to me
in the uh in the world.
August Gitschlag (32:28):
See, I thought the corn on this was so yeah, I
did.
I did pick it on purpose.
100 proof is not what I'm wanttonight, but yeah, I'm gonna
have them.
Jamie Flanagan (32:35):
Yeah, I I picked it because of the rye, because
I know you like ries.
Matt Fox (32:39):
Oh, I do like rice.
Jamie Flanagan (32:40):

I'm like, no, I'm sorry about it.
Jamie Flanagan (37:29):
What was the uh uh Luke Skywalker trading card
just sold for 200k 200 plus 200,like 250,000?
August Gitschlag (37:38):
There was the C3 appeal one that looks like he
has a brass boner that was theair card that everybody wanted
back in the day.
That was the expensive one.
Jamie Flanagan (37:45):
Yep, no, it was like this sold like in 2015 for
like 300 bucks.
Uh, and then just this week,this week it sold uh for over
200,000.
August Gitschlag (37:56):
Yeah, the the holy grail is the one that I
don't believe exists, and that'sthe Boba Fett with the shooting
rocket that was advertised asbeing a mail-in thing, and the
only people that claim they everhave it are people from uh
Cincinnati.
Matt Fox (38:07):
What?
August Gitschlag (38:08):
Because that's where Kenner was that's from
the original, and it was liketheir prototypes, and there was
some TV show where like one ofthe founders of UFC or something
bought it for like fifteenthousand dollars.
Wasn't that what kid not totell his wife that he did it?
Matt Fox (38:20):
That was called How We Made America or something like
that, one of those TV shows.
August Gitschlag (38:24):
No, well, it was just one of those toy
hunters.
It was a guy called the ToyHunter, it's an interesting
show.
I watched, I enjoyed it.
Um, but yeah, it's just that'slike the holy grail of Star Wars
toys.
Yeah, um, but I don't know thatthere's more than one or two of
them out there.
Matt Fox (38:35):
Dear Mr.
Lucas, they were advertisedactually exist in comic books as
these things.
August Gitschlag (38:40):
No, he wouldn't know.
Of course he wouldn't.
He wouldn't know.
Matt Fox (38:42):
He's got his pulse on everything Star Wars.
Maybe that's the funniest thingI've ever said.
August Gitschlag (38:49):
The Empire Strikes Back line of toys, about
15%, 20% of the toys neverexisted in the movie.
They never showed, they're justmade weird toys.
So you're they never feel likebouncing robots and all these
crazy troop transports.
None of that shit was ever inthe movie.
Matt Fox (39:02):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was just making a buck.
August Gitschlag (39:05):
Yep.
There's certain people thatonly collect Empire Strikes Back
toys because of how weird theyare.
Okay.
Wow.

Oh they jacket like it's agreat $38.5 bottle.
Jamie Flanagan (03:18):
$29.95.
August Gitschlag (03:19):
Well, I know why I thought that because I
just got the barrel pick from uhWine Garden I got theirs, which
is a different flavor.
I mean, I should have thoughtto bring it in to compare to
that one.
Oh, we could.
That might be fun to do, yeah.
Yeah, for it's we can't wegotta wear the jackets though.
That's every time we we do abarrel pick, I feel like we have
to have the base there.
Otherwise, why are people whyare people buying these, right?
(03:40):
Exactly.
If it's not better, and it itevery time I haven't found one
yet that wasn't better.
I say that I expect them to bedifferent.
I have enjoyed every barrelpick, but then again, that when
A and B guys are in here, theyjust inundated us with a whole
bunch of barrel picks.
We had no idea what the otherstuff tasted like.
We delivered it all.
Yeah, and we all had to take ahalf day the next day.
We all basically took a kneethat night.
Matt Fox (04:01):
Yeah, honestly, you're not wrong.
August Gitschlag (04:02):
And then you doubled up and had those guys
stick around and drink more forthe uh hit now.
Matt Fox (04:06):

August Gitschlag (05:44):

My wild turkeys are off theshelf.
The Buffalo Traces up and downthe uh up and down the dial are
good too, but you can't find anyof those.
Like now you can finally findthe Sagara Sazerac, but you
know, I was actually rare isstill hard to get.
Matt Fox (06:14):
I'm I'm so married to the Four Roses when I went out
west.
Well, I went to New Mexico on aski trip uh one winter because
everyone goes to the desert toski.
Well, yeah, but we were up inthe mountains, so there was
snow.
August Gitschlag (06:24):
There was snow with the aliens at area.
Matt Fox (06:26):
And this was in March of 2020, and I'm so married to
the four roses, it was rightwhen COVID was rear rearing its
ugly head.
And I bought a bottle of fourroses, not the small batch, just
the regular four roses, and Iwas gonna use that drink on it
all week long because we'regonna be there for the entire
week.
I got there on Saturday.
August Gitschlag (06:46):
You got into that bottle, didn't you?
Matt Fox (06:48):
We were informed on Sunday that we were going home
on Monday because of COVID.
So shit out of that bottle allday Sunday, all day, Sunday, and
Sunday night when we had apotluck because everyone had
bought food for the entire week.
We had to eat it.
August Gitschlag (07:02):
I mean, I just joke about wild turkey,
whatever, and how I like it.
And buddy of mine goes, youknow, we always make fun of you
because I drink wild turkey asmy my shot of choice at feather
blowing.
And whether we had a good roundor a bad round, I reward myself
or punish myself for the wildturkey.
And one of the guys goes, Youknow, Ug, I we always tease you
for the wild turkey.
He goes, Yeah, I picked up abottle the other day.
(07:23):
I saw a bottle, I picked it up.
I'm like, why not?
At the price point, it was likeit was at the counter, you
know, and I'll be damned if Ididn't get into it and it didn't
uh didn't last a weekend.
I'll be damned a weekendbecause you don't feel guilty.
Jamie Flanagan (07:36):
Well, I'd be a mother sending it to an early
grave because uh you didn'tspend that much on it.
August Gitschlag (07:42):
And and this, which I'm sipping on now, yeah,
um, is the Myers rum aged in theSazerac barrels.
Matt Fox (07:48):
Oh, that's M Y E R S, not M-E-I-J-E-R.
August Gitschlag (07:52):
Right.
Not the family that owns thebig box store.
I'm just busting your balls.
That's all.
I know.
Well, they're here to bebusted.
All right.
Consider them busted.
So the Myers, a very uniquetaste.
I put a little agave syrup inthere um to sweeten it up like
the to sort of old-fashioned it.
Uh-huh.
Because uh, yeah, the Myers rumin the Sazerac barrels are
nice.
So I like my Sazerac.
(08:14):
Yes, you do.
And as a Sazerac, it's acocktail Sazerac, which is made
differently than just a plainSazerac.
It's a Sazerac.
Matt Fox (08:22):
So is it a Sazerac?
Yeah.
Jamie Flanagan (08:26):
That's the thing with the Sazerac rye.
It gets confused.
I want a Sazerac.
Oh, yeah.
Well, what do you want in that?
Well, but it could be theSazerac cocktail, which is a
different says a differentpiece.
That gets a little confusing.
For some.
August Gitschlag (08:39):
Yes, it does.
Jamie Flanagan (08:40):
Who's who's on first?
Spam, spam, spam, spam, spam.
Something with just a littlespam in it.
Sorry.
August Gitschlag (08:47):
Um we've gone down a money python rabbit hole
here before.
So now, yeah, so parrot's dead.
Jamie Flanagan (08:54):
That weird is no mall.
It has ceased to be.
unknown (09:03):
Pully pulley, bully, bully.
Theme Song (09:05):
That rabbit's gonna streak a mile away.
Matt Fox (09:09):
I need a book it.
August Gitschlag (09:10):
All right, so but uh four roses.
Four roses.
So yes, you've you've used uhpainter's tape to to hide the
version this is.
Jamie Flanagan (09:17):
Yes, so there's uh they have a single barrel,
right?
And they've had a singlebarrel.
Yes, and then they came outwith uh three more unique, so
there's a total of four singlebarrels.
Uh uh mash bills andexpressions.
Uh each.
Okay, I get it.
I know what you're saying.
Yes.
And then so, but there's uh, soyou guys grab a piece of paper,
(09:40):
Matt.
I got a pen, you got a pen,share some paper over there.
Uh you got some learning to do.
There's just sticky note.
There's your sticky note.
You got some learning to do.
All right.
Well, you don't have to writethis down yet, but when we get
into it, so there's fourletters, right?
There's uh, what do we gothere?
We'll got uh can I get anotherpiece of the OBSF I broke my
sleep OESO and the uh OES K.
(10:03):
But you don't have to writethat.
OESO.
I gotta write it down.
I'll do it, I'll give it alittle bit.
We'll get it later.
We'll get it later.
So each expression has a has adifferent set of letters, right?
And so they they stand forsomething.
And I have a tab here open thattells us what they stand for.
So the letters um stand for theO stands for the old apprentice
(10:25):
distillery.
Um and then the second letteruh for the specific mash bill,
the B or the E will stand forthe specific mash bill.
Uh, and then the S is for thestraight bourbon whiskey.
Uh so the first and the thirdletter uh will always be the
same, right?
So there's always an O, there'salways an S.
(10:47):
Uh, and then the other twochange depending on what strain
you have.
Matt Fox (10:52):
Oh, for goodness sake.
Jamie Flanagan (10:53):
Um strain I was as if it's a version of COVID.
Matt Fox (10:56):
I was under the understanding there would be no
math.
Jamie Flanagan (10:58):
But no, actually, because the last one
there's there's there's V, K, O,Q, or F.
Uh, and those are the differentyeast strains.
So it is it is a different, itis really a different strain.
August Gitschlag (11:08):
That's beer nerd level stuff now.
So it's stuff that Malsa wouldbe involved in.
Jamie Flanagan (11:12):
It is, it is so the uh the yeast you use in your
honey, right?
Matt Fox (11:16):
The B, which is the mash bill, right?
Jamie Flanagan (11:18):
The the B the B or the E, right?
Yeah, the B or the E are boththe mash bill.
The B is 60 corn, 30 you know,35 rye, and 5% multidirlate.
Uh so Matt's like you don'treally have to write that down.
I was just I'm just sharingwell.
Matt Fox (11:33):
I got if we're gonna be taste testing this, I gotta
know what I'm talking about.
Jamie Flanagan (11:36):
All right, the E is 75% corn, 20% rye, and 5%
multiviolet.
So there you go.
So that's that's the differencebetween the B and the E.
All right.
So uh it's it's a deep dive inall of it.
So that's what the lettersstand for, right?
So it's it's the mash bill andthe yeast strain.
So it signifies what the mashbill and the yeast strain is.
(11:57):
That's fair.
And then they're all from theold prentice distillery, and
they're all straight bourbonwhiskies.
So there you go.
So there's there's the there'sthe three.
So I have one of them becausethey they run about a hundred
bucks.
August Gitschlag (12:08):
Uh MSRP is close to uh $100 for the booze
and a baseball jersey today.
Wow, it's like Halloween.
Jamie Flanagan (12:15):
We got candy and gifts.
I don't know.
I was like, I had this on.
I hadn't shown Colleen and Ihad it on, and I didn't think
she saw it, and I had my coat onalready, and she walks up and
she was leaving too, and thenshe stops, she turns around, she
comes back, she opens my coat,and then she just like she
didn't say anything.
She just opens my coat, lookedat it.
Of course, she had no pants on,looked at yeah, looked at me,
(12:37):
and then just shut my coatvigorously and rolled her eyes
and said, Okay, well, I'm goingand what she told me, whatever
she was doing.
And so I'm like, That's justdisdain.
Was she not gonna say onlinewhat we were doing anyway?
August Gitschlag (12:52):
Uh no, she didn't watch, and that's no,
she'll watch the one time youdon't want her to.
I know, I know, I know.
We've been down that avenue,yes.
We have in the whiskey bourbonbased.
The women in my life alwayswatch my bourbon.
My mom watches and she sends memessages.

A bright touch of rye and ahint of brown sugar.
(17:31):
They both have brown sugarthen, so all right.
I just put B S.
What's our third?
Did they say both brown?
They didn't say brown sugar.
Yeah, you said brown sugar.
Oh, I did some brown sugarenhances.
After you said uh I did, I did.
Matt Fox (17:43):
Smooth vanilla with a hint of brown sugar was the
same.
Jamie Flanagan (17:46):
All right, yeah.
Number three.
O E-S-K.
Um, the four roses.
The Osaka.
So the E again, we're back tothe 75% corn on this one.
Uh baking spices.
Oh, okay.
Introduce a gentle heatcomplimented by mellow oak and
(18:07):
tiny earthly tea leaves.
Matt Fox (18:10):
Earthy tea leaves.
Jamie Flanagan (18:12):
Tea leaves.
Rich caramel rounds it out.
All right.
August Gitschlag (18:19):
So that one of those three is what we're about
to put in our body.
Jamie Flanagan (18:23):
And that is, yeah, so there you go.
Matt Fox (18:25):
So we have to decide which one of these is in that
bottle.
Yes.
August Gitschlag (18:29):
So here's the final.
I'm up to the Pepsi challenge.
There it is.
Matt Fox (18:34):
Fresh crack.
I don't think that was the popof the bottle.
August Gitschlag (18:38):
No.
That was the pop of my purpose.
unknown (18:40):
Okay.
Matt Fox (18:41):
And we gotta go neat.
August Gitschlag (18:42):
Oh yeah, neat.
If you want more, you're gonnahave more.
Oh, thanks, Dad.
Matt Fox (18:50):
Okay.
Jamie Flanagan (18:52):
Is that enough for now?
Yeah.
That's enough for now.
That's a lot of color there.
Matt Fox (18:57):
I'm gonna put it in the light.
Jamie Flanagan (18:59):
And here's the thing.
I almost forget which one's inhere.
I'm like a goldfish.
I already know.
Five minutes later.
I got it.
All right.
Hang on, hang on.
All right.
So that's a nice color.
Matt Fox (19:09):
That's a little ethanol on the nose, but it's I
gotta get used to it first.
Jamie Flanagan (19:13):
It's just we just open it up.
Let it breathe, man.
Jesus.
These are all I am breathing.
These are all seven to nineyears.
Uh they're all have a seven tonine year age statement on them.
Matt Fox (19:25):
And they're all 100-proof.
Is the OBSF age longer than theOESO?
Jamie Flanagan (19:29):
No, they're all three of them are labeled seven
to nine years.
Okay.
So it's a crapshoot.
Yeah.
August Gitschlag (19:40):
All right.
My palate is cleansed.
Matt Fox (19:44):
Oh, you you got some chips in you, did you?
Okay.
August Gitschlag (19:46):
Ruffles for the wind.
Jamie Flanagan (19:49):
See, I know, and I've just read these, and so I
know what I'm looking for.
August Gitschlag (19:52):
Yeah.
Jamie Flanagan (19:54):
So I'm I I was pretty sure now I know I know.
August Gitschlag (19:57):
Yep, I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure I
got this.
Jamie Flanagan (19:59):
And I'm not even good at this shit.
Matt Fox (20:01):
I haven't tried it yet.
So knowing what you know basedon the color, is it rep is it
does it stand true to the color?
You said you said that all thecolors are the same.
August Gitschlag (20:12):
Yeah, well in the in the store, they're all
very comparable.
Yeah, so the rich fruits isn'tnecessarily a giveaway by the
color.
No, yeah, no, no.
No, I I think I got it.
Jamie Flanagan (20:20):
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Um, oh, that was not a happyface there, Matt.
No, no, I I okay.
I did Philly.
Did I do that, Philly?
I did the all right.
You're doing it, sucking itdown on the mic.
I missed the last one.
I missed her.
It was fun.
It was fun.
Yeah, she's always Vino isalways uh right.
August Gitschlag (20:43):
She had that $300 wine recorking contraption.
It looked like you could do eyesurgery with it.
Small tiny needle thing.
I think Atagorn gas.
Jamie Flanagan (20:53):
Atagorn.
All right.
So um one does not walk intoMordor.
Oh, go on.
So, all right, let's see.
Can we make this interesting?
Matt Fox (21:03):
I think I know I think I know which one it is.
Yeah, me too.
I think right away.
I think I got it.
Jamie Flanagan (21:07):
I think it's all pretty much a different one.
Uh, yeah, right.
Well, I but I know, so I know,and I I I I I'm feeling it.
Matt Fox (21:14):
I will go out on a limb myself.
I will be the first.
Jamie Flanagan (21:17):
Matt, um, writing it down.
August, which one do you thinkit is?
Okay, all right, Matt, what doyou think it is?
Matt Fox (21:26):
I circled it.
It's down the right-hand cornerthere.
Jamie Flanagan (21:28):
All right, you guys have picked something
different.
Yeah, you guys picked somethingdifferent, and only one of you
is correct.
Uh oh.
Wouldn't it be great if youwere both wrong?
August Gitschlag (21:37):
So one of us has to stand up without pants on
if we lose.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
On camera.
For the ladies.
Matt Fox (21:42):
On camera.
Jamie Flanagan (21:44):
One for the ladies.
Matt Fox (21:46):
Free speech, not that free.
Jamie Flanagan (21:48):
All right.
So, Matt, what did you pick andwhy did you pick it?
Matt Fox (21:51):
I picked the O E S K.
Oh, yes, K.
Because the last one.
It felt very corn forward.
Okay.
And there was the fuck you feelcorn forward.
Because I've had Are you aSomalier of No, because I've
been about because I've drankJoe Lewis Bourbon.
Yeah, we drank that Joe Lewis.
I had a real muscle memory.
Jamie Flanagan (22:17):
Very much so.
On the third sip, this is uhyeah, there's something
happening on the third sip.
All right, go ahead.
Matt Fox (22:22):
Anyway, yeah, OESK because of the uh it had a
really corn forward feel to it,yeah, and I really felt the
baking spices that you hadmentioned.
Okay, and I really wasn'tfeeling tea leaves, but it's
just the spices hit me right offthe bat.
Jamie Flanagan (22:36):
All right, all right.
I guess what did you which onedid you pick?
The OBSF.
August Gitschlag (22:42):
Because the apple went right up my nose the
minute I stuck my.
Oh, you got apple out of itstraight away, okay, okay.
Right away.
And then it's it's I drink alot of rye, and I got the rye
heat in the back.
As I was talking about drinkingthe spiciness of a rye, and it
had it said it had the rye backto it, was mentioned
specifically.
So uh that's kind of where Iwent.
Jamie Flanagan (23:01):
August is our winner.
Matt Fox (23:03):
I'm taking my pants off right now.
That's right.
unknown (23:06):
Woo!
Jamie Flanagan (23:07):
All right, so yes, I I when I tasted it and I
was like, I sipped it, and I waslike, oh, wait a second, I went
back to the thing.
I was like, I thought I feltthe rye.
Yeah.
August Gitschlag (23:20):
More so than the fruits or any baking spices.
It was definitely an apple thatI got.
Jamie Flanagan (23:25):
I did because I like I covered up, I covered up
because it's big on the neck,and then I was like, oh, cool,
that's it.
And then I noticed it wasreally big on the back of the
bottle, so I covered that uptoo.
Matt Fox (23:34):
Um, but yes, I had a 33% chance of getting it right.
Jamie Flanagan (23:37):
You did.
Everybody had a 33% chance.
August Gitschlag (23:40):
Uh oh, you didn't use painter's tape.
You're taking all the good allthe labels off, aren't you?
Oops.
No, I didn't.
Jamie Flanagan (23:44):

August Gitschlag (26:08):
We uh my uh my good friends have finally
opened up their place in Grosswell, Gross Point, Detroit
border, the old uh Lost River.
Oh yeah, yes, you had mentionedthat the 1880s techno bar.
They uh they're trying to havethey they claim to have, and
this is what you guys want theperfect pour of Guinness.
Matt Fox (26:26):
Oh, okay, really jam.
Yeah, it's better thancorporate Buffalo Wild Wings.
Well, that's what they'retrying to do.
August Gitschlag (26:33):
All right, so we'll see.
We'll see.
I don't know how much longerthey're they're they're just
getting their shit together.
They're soft open after softopen.
There, we went in there onWednesday last week, yeah.
And every bar still is filled,sure, but you know, no TVs on,
they only turn TVs on forsoccer, right?
Right.
You know, the English bar.
Bless you, English pub, but nofish and chips with lots of
oysters.
Okay, yeah, they have tablesnow, it's coming along.
(26:55):
All right, so we're gonna gowe'll visit them when they think
that they're ready to have usfor their next channel.
But they they have a patiothere.
This is such a small place thatlike filling in a spot there
can be like kind of jams you inthere.
Matt Fox (27:09):
I know now's the perfect time to get there before
it gets really cold.
August Gitschlag (27:12):
Yeah, you can still go outside on the patio.
But but inside's where you wantto be because it's so eclectic.
The decorations are great.
So those are on the on myagenda for the future of our of
our podcast with these outfits.
Yeah, and then we got uh wegotta have we have the yellow
pants with the black stripe thatgoes with it, like like the
Savannah Banana style.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
What are they the savannah bananas are coming into
town?
August Gitschlag (27:33):
No, they're not, they're sending the other
clowns, the party animals andthe firefighters.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
And I hate that I know that because I hate the
Savannah bananas.
I hate them.
August Gitschlag (27:40):
Hate them.
How do you think that's what wedo what's wrong with Ball
today?
Yeah, I just I won't even go toJimmy John Field.
I think that that's that themore appropriate spot for them.
Yeah, that's where they shouldbe.
Where are they playing?
Comerica.
But it's not the Savannahbanana, it's like the other two
teams in the league.
The other banana, it's theother banana ball.
Banana ball, you know.
You have to have X amount oftrick plays per inning.
Matt Fox (28:02):
It's yeah, where they got guys on uh on like high-rise
stirrups, tilts, and balls.
August Gitschlag (28:07):
They gotta smack, they go to catch the
ball, they gotta catch it intheir shirts, and it's just or
they do a flip in the catch.
I can't stand it.
Yeah, bastardizing it.
I know I get it, it's theHarlem Globe Trotters of
baseball.
Matt Fox (28:17):
Bayern.
August Gitschlag (28:18):
Well, no, that's uh San Francisco.
That's there.
Purer than that.
I don't know.
It just drives me nuts.
Matt Fox (28:24):
You're a purist, August.
Just admit it.
I am admitted.
Jamie Flanagan (28:28):
It's bastardizing the whole it's for
a bunch of little kids.
Matt Fox (28:32):
But that's why you have folks like Otani that can
fucking hit a home run threetimes in one freaking game.
After striking out six people,no, or striking out ten and six
innings.
Was it ten and six innings?
August Gitschlag (28:44):
Yeah, let's still get up there and swing it.
Yeah, the man is just in thegreat postseason except for that
one game, which is consideredthe greatest game in baseball
history.
Yeah, really.
Okay, he pitched, he struck outten, pitched six innings,
struck out ten, and hit threehome runs, three home runs.
Three home runs.
One of them is still flying outof Chavez ravine.
Matt Fox (29:02):
Yeah, he hit it out of Dodger Stadium, it's still in
the air.
I believe it.
I believe it.
Wow, but Mac Scherzer tonight,yeah, him pitching.
Yeah, this will be a wasn't heours?
Yes, he was.
He this is an historic event inMLB history because he's uh
only the third pitcher to pitchfor three different teams in a
world series.
August Gitschlag (29:22):
Uh and I think all three of those teams are
still paying him.
I do think Texas uh is stillpaying him.
I think uh where was he lastyear?
Uh did he pitch for us in aworld series?
Uh yeah, yeah, okay.
Absolutely he did.
Matt Fox (29:34):
What that was because we had the world series that was
2006.
August Gitschlag (29:37):
When when the fat panda from San Francisco
single handedly beat us himself,yeah, that guy.
Fucking fat panda.
Dude, the Giants didn't have tobe.
Was that the last time we werein the series?
Yeah.
No, no, then it was theCardinals that beat us up, too.
Yeah, um, I can't rememberwhich one was first now.
They kind of blur together.
Anyways, the San FranciscoGiants did something
unprecedented today uh thisweek.
They hired the a new managerfrom college.
(29:58):
What?
The hair of the university.
University of Tennessee'smanager.
Unheard of to hire in baseball.
Unheard of to hire a collegemanager in the pros.
Matt Fox (30:08):
Just like right off right off the bench.
Just right into the pros.
August Gitschlag (30:11):
Yep.
I mean, Tennessee has a greatprogram.
They've been historicallygreat.
He's uh he's got a culturethere.
People rave about him.
He wasn't the batting coach, hewasn't the first base coach, he
just went to head coach frommanager of Tennessee to manager
of the Twitter.
Holy snakes, that's a boldmove.
Very because I mean these guys,he's got to deal with people
like Raphael Devers, who's kindof like an egotistical prick and
makes 10 times more money thanhim.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
Right.
August Gitschlag (30:31):
You know, college ball, you're the boss.
These are a bunch of kids, youknow.
It's different.
So we'll see.
I'm I'm I'm rooting for him.
Hope it works out.
That's okay.
Bring it more than you expectedin the baseball podcast tonight
with our baseball jerseys.
Jamie Flanagan (30:46):
Yeah, I broke out.
August Gitschlag (30:47):

window, playing it out to thebaseball beat.
August Gitschlag (31:20):

Hello, my name is August.
Hello, my name is AugustKitchlag.
August Gitschlag (31:41):
I mean, the the dump I took today weighed
more than I did today.
Matt Fox (31:45):
I was just like, so you're saying you've you've
grown up as I've got to be.
I've grown up, yes.
Grown up, up and down.
Hey Jamie, you want to throw mea little more nip in there?
Jamie Flanagan (31:53):
So this one, this on the bottle, it says
there's uh uh delicate rye,which is what I got first,
apple, mint, clove, and cocoa.
August Gitschlag (32:03):
Definitely clove.
Now, is this I didn't get thecorn, but that was probably did
you pick this one based on theon the profile, or did you just
grab one and said and go?
Jamie Flanagan (32:11):
Uh yeah, I picked it because this is the
one that had the uh mediumamount of corn, and so that's
why I went with that.
You want the 60% corn?
August Gitschlag (32:20):
Oh, you too are a corn nerd.
Jamie Flanagan (32:22):
I I went a little lower on the corn, and
that it was uh there wassomething that attracted to me
in the uh in the world.
August Gitschlag (32:28):
See, I thought the corn on this was so yeah, I
did.
I did pick it on purpose.
100 proof is not what I'm wanttonight, but yeah, I'm gonna
have them.
Jamie Flanagan (32:35):
Yeah, I I picked it because of the rye, because
I know you like ries.
Matt Fox (32:39):
Oh, I do like rice.
Jamie Flanagan (32:40):
