Ep. 16: Tasting at the Standard:, Macallan’s World of Scotch and Tokes of My Father

Episode 16 – Tasting at the Standard:, Macallan’s World of Scotch and tokes of My Father Be sure rate and subscribe this episode! In this episode of Two Guys on a Porch, Jason and Bradford sidestep into the world of Scotch whisky, tasting some of Macallan’s finest—Rare Cask, 18, 25, and 30-year expressions—while soaking in a setting as rich in history as the whisky itself. Recorded at The Standard Club in Nashville’s first residential ballroom, dating back to the 1870s, and in front of a fireplace mantel from a President’s wedding, this episode is all about legacy, craftsmanship, and the finer things in life. The boys also share a bit on the changes in the beverage economy, pricing and consumption.  As we savor these legendary single malts, we break down what makes Scotch unique: just three simple ingredients—water, malted barley, and yeast—crafted through pot distillation at a single distillery and aged for at least three years. We also dive into the importance of casks in the aging process, drawing parallels to bourbon’s own identity. Just as all bourbon is whiskey but not all whiskey is bourbon, all barrels are casks, but not all casks are barrels. And when it comes to Scotch, few names carry the weight of Macallan. Pairing perfectly with this tasting is the My Father cigar, generously provided by Eric Parkinson, regional rep for My Father Cigars, at The Mission Cigar and Social in Spring Hill. Pour a dram, light up, and join us for a conversation that blends history, tradition, and great whisky.

Life is screwed up. So come join us, Bradford and Jason, on the porch to enjoy a good bourbon and cigar to figure it out. Picture this: a cozy porch or patio, the sun setting in the distance, and the perfect cigar in hand. That’s our sweet spot, and we want you there with us. Each episode is like a chat with old friends where we dive into everything from the smooth notes of bourbon to the complexities of life’s biggest questions—jobs, politics, history, music, and even the quirkiest of topics like, “Why did we quit using lead paint?” One of us is a brain surgeon—yes, really—and the other brings a mix of sharp intellect, charisma, and unyielding certainty. We’ll let you guess which is which. We’re tackling it all: from the lives of Presidents to overcoming isolation, battling cancer, navigating divorce, and the wild ride of raising adult kids. So, grab a friend, your favorite cigar, and a drink that makes you smile. Join us on the porch for some real talk and a lot of laughs.
