e. 30 The Dirty Thirty: 21 Year Seelbach's Light Whiskey and Mental Health Accountability

e. 30, the Dirty Thirty. General X, Lumpy, and Big Red crack a Seelbach's Private Reserve 21 Year cask strength American light whiskey at 145.4 proof and run it through the TST scale. It's a 99% corn Indiana barrel that noses like dessert and drinks like dragon's breath. Overall verdict: Banger. We also recap the Rare Character six flight tasting with Whiskey Gorilla at the Oviedo Bourbon Club, our surprise backroom tour at Forward Slash, and a pregame of Jimmy Red corn and a Still Austin cask strength rye single barrel pick that smells like bubblegum in grandma's candy dish. Then we get real about men's mental health and accountability: doing the homework between therapy sessions, being honest in the room instead of faking "fine," and what a real accountability partner looks like. We close with Am I the Asshole: a guy and his friends quietly freeze out a buddy because of his wife. Who's the asshole here?
