About This Speakeasy Box: Episode 2 from Shaker & Spoon

The takes are hot, but the drinks are icy cold; that's what happens when you take three bar veterans (Sother Teague, Greg Benson, and Damon Boelte) and put them together weekly on mic to inform and entertain, if you've ever sat at a bar absorbed by the tales of a lovably eccentric tender, then you can imagine just how engrossing an episode of their show can be. Audio, though, can only go so far.


For this second installment of Shaker & Spoon x The Speakeasy, we're with you IRL serving rye whiskey, a spirit that was a hush-hush favorite of insiders for many decades before the modern cocktail boom reclaimed it as a formidably flavored go-to for all! With rye recipes, you typically go big in order to stand up to its dry and sometimes peppery strength; bold isn't just what's in the bottle, but a blueprint for the best way forward in cocktail construction.


Fortunately, as evidenced in the 600+ recorded episodes of The Speakeasy, we're in the steady hands of hosts that can spin quite a yarn about spirits. Longtime listeners and first time sippers alike will certainly agree!


Recommended Liquor


TINCUP Straight Rye Whiskey

TINCUP® Rye has been crafted to celebrate the original rye recipes enjoyed by settlers and miners of Tin Cup, Colorado, with a taste that matches the bold spice and spirit of the Old West.


Green River Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey

Green River Rye Whiskey, with its easy-drinking appeal and a memorable finish, shines as a testament to the seamless union of simplicity and quality.
