This is a bottle I almost always pick up when I’m in Bardstown, Kentucky. Don’t sleep on it!

What's one whiskey brand that you hope to drink more of for the rest of 2026?

Do you have a favorite Eagle Rare? A little throwback to last week’s film Eagle Rare vertical tasting in NYC! A rare opportunity to compare a lineup across three decades of maturation. My full review on Eagle Rare 30 is coming soon!

What is your favorite smell? And you can’t say bacon, that’s too easy... Mine is gasoline. Weird. I know.

A little news: I’m honored to be serving as a judge for the 2026 San Fracisco World Spirits Competition. It’s my first time judging this event, and I couldn’t be more excited to work with some of the industry’s absolute best.

@d_tao For $900/bottle, it better be. Couldn't pull the trigger on that back in February, but I did grab a OSN Straight Outta Bardstown and I enjoy that one. Cheers, David!

To me, this was a Top 5 bourbon of 2025…what do you think we’ll see from Preservation Distillery for the rest of 2026?

4.9. Back in remission. I don’t take numbers lightly anymore. I’ve lived the back and forth. The climb, the drop, the “we’ve got it” followed by “not so fast.” Leukemia is not a straight line. It’s a fight for ground, sometimes inches at a time. Yesterday, we took ground back. A lot of people don’t understand what prednisone actually does in this fight. It’s not a gentle medication. It’s not something you casually take and move on from. Prednisone is a hammer. In leukemia, it works by killing off lymphocytes and suppressing the disease. It reduces the burden, weakens what’s trying to take over, and gives your body and the rest of your treatment a chance to regain control. But it comes at a cost. High doses flood your system. They can make your heart race, your mind spin, your body feel like it’s running a marathon while standing still. Sleep becomes optional. Appetite can go sideways. Emotionally, it can be a rollercoaster you didn’t sign up for. And physically… the pain. What I’ve been dealing with in my hips and femur wasn’t just discomfort. It was deep, structural, relentless pain. The kind that reminds you with every step that something is very wrong. And now… it’s gone. That alone feels like a miracle. The prednisone held. It did exactly what it was supposed to do, even if it demanded everything in return. So here I am. 4.9. In remission. Feeling good. Clear headed. Moving without pain. Is the fight over? No. Anyone who has lived this knows better. But today is a win. A real one. My face is a little puffy from the prednisone. That will fade once I’m off of it. And yes, those are scars on my nose and upper lip. They’re part of the story too.

I just went through Elon Musk's page. No word on the Artemis II crew's Moon landing or their beautiful Earth shots. If this was done by SpaceX, he would have been talking about it nonstop. The guy is petty. Come on, celebrate a good thing even if it not done by your company.
