  Aussie Bourbon lovers sharing bourbon with Australia.
• 0:13
  All right, bear with me. Hang on.
• 0:14
  You're gonna get the full opening sound. You ready?
• 0:18
  You might need to listen close because this is the fanciest
• 0:22
  bottle of bourbon I've ever opened.
• 0:24
  And it's for a good reason. Right, hang on, here we go.
• 0:26
  This is pop.
• 0:29
  Good pop. Good pop.
• 0:30
  Good occasion. Dave, what are we drinking?
• 0:32
  This is ridiculous that we're drinking this, but here it is.
• 0:35
  Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve.
• 0:37
  15 year old fanciest bourbon I've ever opened.
• 0:40
  And why are you opening it, Dave?
• 0:42
  Because H, we're celebrating our 15 year old 15 year wedding anniversary.
• 0:47
  Happy wedding anniversary.
• 0:49
  Happy wedding anniversary.
• 0:50
  Can't believe 15 year old marriage.
• 0:52
  15 year wedding anniversary. Cheers, Dave.
• 0:55
  Can't believe you've put up with me this long.
• 0:57
  Ridiculous. Oh yeah.
• 0:59
  What a good thing to be doing to celebrate a wedding anniversary.
• 1:01
  Goodness gracious me. Do you think if.
• 1:03
  When.
• 1:05
  Smells good? Sorry, what were you gonna say?
• 1:08
  Oh, it does.
• 1:08
  Do you think when you married me that you would have pictured us sitting in front of
• 1:12
  a computer doing a podcast drinking really delicious bourbon?
• 1:16
  No, I don't know what I would have.
• 1:17
  No, I wouldn't have been anywhere near as astute as to thought that
• 1:22
  would be a good idea. I say delicious.
• 1:23
  We haven't tasted it yet. What are you getting on the nose?
• 1:25
  Wow. Like.
• 1:26
  I don't know, is it. It's just.
• 1:27
  It's old and weeded and it's got that.
• 1:29
  Oh, I.
• 1:34
  I'm walking into the Woolshed like harvest time.
• 1:36
  Really?
• 1:38
  All the grain.
• 1:42
  Like a. It's, it's quite unique.
• 1:43
  It's got a. That high.
• 1:46
  Like a what?
• 1:48
  Like it's, it's, it's, it's a woodiness, but it's almost like that sweet
• 1:52
  woodiness that I get on the michtis 10.
• 1:55
  Do you know what I mean?
• 1:55
  Do you know what I mean about that sweet woodiness?
• 1:57
  Yeah, like a real pleasant woodiness.
• 1:58
  When you say sweet woodiness, I think of a freshly sharpened pencil.
• 2:02
  Like a really good pencil.
• 2:05
  I'm not getting pencils.
• 2:08
  It's me in my art studio.
• 2:09
  Lots of sweetness still bit of molassesiness.
• 2:12
  Yeah, yeah, you get. It's like it smells sticky.
• 2:15
  We should probably be letting this sit for 10 minutes.
• 2:17
  That'd be a boring episode, wouldn't it? If we let it sit for 10.
• 2:18
  Minutes, we're just gonna give our pappy 15 year old some air.
• 2:23
  Just, just bear with us while we watch our pappy open up.
• 2:26
  15 years, Dave.
• 2:28
  What are some of the things you've enjoyed about the last 15 years?
• 2:31
  This is like some kind of job interview for being a husband.
• 2:33
  Is that what's happening here?
• 2:34
  I was just like, Wiley's bottle of bourbon was like, you know.
• 2:37
  No, wait, wait, hang on. Let's go back a step.
• 2:39
  Part of the reason why it's great to be celebrating being
• 2:43
  married for 15 years with a good bourbon.
• 2:46
  Like a stupid bourbon.
• 2:47
  Like, I love that we're drinking this, but I also feel stupid about it is that
• 2:52
  when we got married, we said, let's eat and drink good things.
• 2:55
  And so here we are, 15 years on drinking something pretty good, and we.
• 3:00
  This is.
• 3:01
  The Buffalo Trace is one of the first distillers we ever visited.
• 3:04
  When we went to Kentucky, and we went there because we'd seen a
• 3:07
  crazy documentary on Netflix. Was it?
• 3:10
  Yeah, we went there for a few reasons, but that's definitely one of them.
• 3:12
  Yeah, but, like, as in that had, like. You're right.
• 3:15
  It was called Heist and Pappygate was the episode.
• 3:17
  Yeah. Yep.
• 3:19
  And I remember just being fascinated that, like, all this crazy.
• 3:22
  The crazy stories behind Bevan. Would you look at.
• 3:25
  Sorry. If you're watching on YouTube.
• 3:26
  Would you look at that? That is.
• 3:27
  It looks amazing.
• 3:29
  It's kind of silky in the glass or something.
• 3:31
  Am I making stuff up?
• 3:32
  Because I think I'm getting, like.
• 3:34
  When I nose it, it's like I'm already getting that sticky taste in my mouth.
• 3:38
  Just, like, have a taste, Dave.
• 3:43
  Mm.
• 3:45
  Wow.
• 3:47
  It's almost like the texture is, like.
• 3:50
  Has a honeyness to it. It's, like, real sticky.
• 3:51
  Yeah, but you gotta do more than one set.
• 3:53
  Remember the first ones? Like.
• 3:54
  Yep. Oh, I had warmed up, but yeah.
• 3:56
  Yeah.
• 3:59
  It'S real. It's got a real richness.
• 4:01
  Like, the mouth feel has got a real richness to it.
• 4:04
  Yum.
• 4:06
  I wish I. I don't really.
• 4:08
  I feel like I'm.
• 4:09
  It might be wasted on me a little bit.
• 4:11
  Caramel. Carameliness.
• 4:13
  There's some raisiny.
• 4:15
  You just like that fruitiness that you sound.
• 4:17
  Like, deep, like plum. Puddingy.
• 4:20
  Kind of. I was gonna say plum.
• 4:21
  Or like sultana.
• 4:24
  Like, you're eating that fruitcake Christmassy cake.
• 4:27
  That'S gonna have, like, a massive finish on it, too.
• 4:29
  Yeah.
• 4:30
  Cool.
• 4:31
  Well, it's one of those ones that sits there and then.
• 4:35
  And. And, like, changes.
• 4:36
  You're kind of like, oh, I'm getting. Oh, no, hold on.
• 4:38
  Something different.
• 4:40
  Just like marriage, Dave. Oh, yeah.
• 4:43
  Yeah.
• 4:43
  Open your mouth and you get something Different.
• 4:45
  That's certainly true about our marriage, Helen.
• 4:49
  What's your time as well? Sorry.
• 4:51
  Yeah, yeah. Changes with kids.
• 4:53
  It's certainly on top of that.
• 4:54
  So then, tell me about H.
• 4:56
  What are some of your.
• 4:58
  What did you ask me? Favourite things in 15 years.
• 5:00
  My question. But, you know.
• 5:01
  But it was a hard question to ask. Answer.
• 5:03
  Go on. What have you got for me?
• 5:05
  Well, you know, there's the standard ones of having kids.
• 5:08
  That was pretty cool. Don't be boring.
• 5:09
  Come on. But there's, like, going to Kentucky.
• 5:12
  Yes. Falling in love with bourbon.
• 5:13
  Yes.
• 5:16
  Don't get too excited.
• 5:18
  Well, we're on a bourbon.
• 5:19
  Genuinely, like, we've done lots of fun stuff together.
• 5:22
  Like, we both love travel. We.
• 5:24
  We both love good food.
• 5:27
  Like, there's been lots of kind of stuff that we can share that way.
• 5:30
  But I think the more recent love of bourbon, the bit I've
• 5:37
  liked, is that we've both.
• 5:38
  It's not kind of like, oh, well, I'll go along with this, because this is something
• 5:41
  you like, or you haven't been like, well, I'll, you know, follow along with her
• 5:45
  crazy art stuff because that's something, you know, that makes her happy.
• 5:48
  This is something that genuinely, both of us love.
• 5:50
  Like, maybe the different elements of it we love differently.
• 5:55
  Like, I really love the stories behind the bourbon and
• 6:00
  I might be guessing wrong, but, like, the flavour and everything is probably higher
• 6:04
  on your list than the story behind the bottle.
• 6:07
  But I think we both love, like, bourbon.
• 6:12
  We do both love bourbon and I think we both love lots of interesting parts of it.
• 6:17
  And sometimes this is a bit weird.
• 6:19
  This is a weird thing that we do sometimes, but sometimes
• 6:21
  we'll sit there and stick.
• 6:23
  No, no, no, not that weird.
• 6:26
  We sometimes will sit there on a couch and I'll just stare at a glass that's sitting
• 6:29
  in front of me and I'll go, look at the colour on that.
• 6:31
  And look at what that. The colour.
• 6:33
  What the colour means from what was a clear liquid and what the years of the
• 6:38
  time in the barrel mean and signify and stuff like that.
• 6:40
  I suppose that's a lovely. Look at this, H.
• 6:43
  Wow. Look at.
• 6:44
  Hey, this is. Look at this.
• 6:45
  Hang on, hang on. We've got a great.
• 6:47
  A great story here.
• 6:48
  If you look at the colour on that Happy Family Reserve 15 year, when
• 6:53
  that went in the barrel, it was clear. Yeah.
• 6:55
  And you and I were standing at that altar.
• 6:58
  Oh, yeah.
• 7:00
  And then the years tarnished it.
• 7:03
  No, have coloured. Tarnished me.
• 7:05
  Tarnished you.
• 7:07
  And gave it that beautiful vanilla caramel flavour.
• 7:10
  And that sweet wood I was talking about before.
• 7:12
  Yeah, see? And it's gotten better.
• 7:15
  Life with someone you love just gets better.
• 7:16
  Oh, and it got better and better. Exactly.
• 7:19
  And the wood, really? We started a bourbon podcast.
• 7:22
  Oh, my goodness.
• 7:24
  I feel like someone should get a large hook from the side of stage and off the
• 7:28
  stage with this rubbish we're dribbling.
• 7:30
  So then what, what, what?
• 7:33
  Where can you get this, Dave?
• 7:36
  Bottle of Papi. You can't get anywhere.
• 7:38
  Are you kidding me? It's like you.
• 7:39
  I can't, you know, get you anywhere.
• 7:41
  Hey, thanks, Dave.
• 7:43
  No, but like, people, can you get like any version of a bottle of Papi somewhere?
• 7:49
  This is a fun thing about Australia and our pals in the US will hate this, but
• 7:53
  there's times when you can walk into Dan particular.
• 7:56
  Dan Murphy's. Not every Dan Murphy.
• 7:57
  And you can see it on the shelf and you can buy it.
• 8:00
  It's not that uncommon to see a bottle of Papi duty free.
• 8:05
  Yeah.
• 8:05
  It's not cheap, but you can see them or Dan Murphy's.
• 8:09
  You can see him in there. You can get your hands on them.
• 8:12
  We're lucky enough to get an allocation of them.
• 8:14
  Whereas in America. Right.
• 8:16
  For whatever reason, we do get a few bottles of Buffalo Trace over here.
• 8:19
  So you can get them. Yep, yep.
• 8:21
  And online you get. If you.
• 8:22
  If you probably googled Pappy Van Winkle Australia, you probably find some
• 8:26
  bottles you get your hands on for sure. Yeah.
• 8:27
  And even if I haven't won the lotto and haven't got a bottle, there's another.
• 8:32
  What's the one that's kind of like the one that doesn't quite make the Pappy?
• 8:35
  Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 8:36
  They have a panel of people who sits there at the Wellers.
• 8:38
  Yeah.
• 8:39
  So it's. It's just a weighted bourbon.
• 8:41
  Right.
• 8:41
  And someone chooses whether it's a Pappy or a Weller.
• 8:44
  Yeah, A panel of people.
• 8:45
  They sit there and they're like, this one's not quite Pappy.
• 8:48
  And so it doesn't quite get the label or the price tag,
• 8:52
  but it's still very, very good.
• 8:54
  Well, I thoroughly enjoying this.
• 8:56
  This is very, very good. Amazing.
• 8:58
  Amazing, Dave. All right, so 15 years of marriage.
• 9:01
  We've got some kids as well that are banging about, making noise and stuff.
• 9:06
  Yeah.
• 9:07
  What I think the next release is 20 year old.
• 9:11
  We're allowed to have a 20 year old bottle in five years.
• 9:13
  Is that allowed? We may get the next five years.
• 9:15
  I think there's a 23 year old and then there's no more.
• 9:17
  So I think that's what we should 23 and then no more.
• 9:20
  Oh, that's a bit more.
• 9:22
  Sorry, but you can't really age bird much older than that.
• 9:24
  And I feel like you can't really age marriage as much.
• 9:27
  Well, once we get there, we've made it. I think that's the thing.
• 9:29
  It's like, once we get to 23 years married, we've made it.
• 9:32
  Then we start tasting Scotches.
• 9:33
  No, I'm sticking to bourbon.
• 9:35
  I'm sticking to bourbon too. Yeah.
• 9:37
  Hey, happy anniversary.
• 9:39
  Cheers to 15 years. Happy new Year.
• 9:41
  Cheers.
