    007 Series Ep. 17/Movies that Turn 30: Goldeneye (1995)/Jack Daniels Coy Hill Barrelhouse 8
    May 15 2025
    This week on Drinks and a Movie, it’s time to enter the Brosnan era with the explosive return of 007 in GoldenEye—a slick, smart ’90s reboot that redefined Bond for a new generation. From killer satellites to killer one-liners, we unpack what made this Cold War hangover so unforgettable.

    To match GoldenEye’s high-octane energy and sharp modern edge, we’re cracking open the Jack Daniel’s Coy Hill Barrelhouse 8 Special Release—an overproof Tennessee beast with intense oak, fire, and flavor. It's bold, brash, and unapologetically strong—just like this Bond debut.

    💣🥃 New Bond. New era.

    007 Series Ep. 15: Licence to Kill (1989)/Maker's Mark Cellar Aged 2024
    May 12 2025
    In this episode of Drinks and a Movie, I’m diving into one of the most brutal and underrated entries in the 007 franchise: Licence to Kill. Timothy Dalton drops the charm and brings pure vengeance — but does it hold up today? Let's talk cartel villains, shark attacks, and why this Bond feels more like an ‘80s action flick than a spy thriller. 🦈💣

    To match the darker, edgier tone, I’m pairing it with the Maker’s Mark Cellar Aged 2024 — a deep, oaky bourbon that’s all about patience, complexity, and serious flavor. This is not your everyday pour... just like this isn’t your everyday Bond.

    Is Dalton the most hardcore 007? Tune in and decide for yourself.

    007 Series Ep. 15: The Living Daylights (1987)/Maker's Mark The Lost Recipe Series, Edition 01, 2024
    May 5 2025
    In this 15th episode of my 007 series, I’m shaking (not stirring) things up with The Living Daylights — Timothy Dalton’s explosive debut as James Bond. Is this a return to form or a cold, brooding misfire? Let’s dig into the tone shift, Cold War vibes, and whether Dalton gets the credit he deserves.

    For the perfect pairing, I’m sipping on Maker’s Mark The Lost Recipe Series: Edition 01 (2024) — a bourbon that revives a historic flavor profile for a modern audience. Just like Dalton's Bond, it’s bold, refined, and cuts through the noise. 🥃🔥

    If you're a fan of underrated Bonds or limited edition pours, this one’s for you.

    Apr 30 2025
    In episode 14 of my 007 series, I’m diving into A View to a Kill — the final James Bond film starring Roger Moore — and pairing it with the bold and sweet Maestro Dobel Pavito Blanco Tequila. 🍸🔥

    Is this swan song for Moore a guilty pleasure or a total misfire? Let’s talk Christopher Walken, Duran Duran, absurd horse crimes, and blimps over the Golden Gate Bridge. And of course, we’ll sip and chat about why Pavito Blanco’s unique pechuga-style flavor might just be the perfect match for this over-the-top 007 adventure.

    007 Series Ep. 13: Octopussy (1983)/Pikesville Rye Whiskey
    Apr 28 2025
    This week on Drinks and a Movie, we’re diving into the 13th entry in the James Bond franchise — Octopussy (1983)! Roger Moore is back as 007, and this time he’s going full circus mode. Killer clowns, Fabergé eggs, Cold War chaos, and an island run by an all-female cult led by the mysterious Octopussy — what more could you ask for?

    We break down the highs, the lows, and the wonderfully bizarre tone of this fan-dividing Bond film. Is Octopussy campy fun or a franchise misfire? Let’s get into it.

    And to pair with all that wild energy? We’re sipping on Pikesville Straight Rye Whiskey — a bold 110-proof Kentucky rye that’s spicy, complex, and perfect for a spirited Bond adventure.
    Find out if it’s a sipper worth stocking or if it’s better left behind like a rogue Soviet general.

    Pour yourself a dram and join the conversation as we talk Bond, bourbon (well, rye), and cinematic spectacle.

    007 Series Ep. 12: For Your Eyes Only (1981)/Angels Envy Triple Oak
    Apr 25 2025
    In this episode of Drinks and a Movie, we're going shaken, not stirred with a dive into the 12th James Bond film, For Your Eyes Only (1981), starring Roger Moore in one of his most grounded and underrated performances as 007. We’re ditching gadgets for grit as Bond embarks on a Cold War-era mission filled with ski chases, underwater action, and crossbows?!
    We’ll explore how this entry attempted to bring the franchise back down to Earth after the space-age spectacle of Moonraker and why For Your Eyes Only remains a standout for Bond fans.

    But first, we kick things off with a review of the Angels Envy Triple Oak whiskey – a limited-edition Kentucky straight bourbon finished in three different oak casks. Is it worthy of a secret agent’s palate, or just another overhyped pour? Pour a glass and tune in for Bond trivia, bold opinions, and bourbon breakdowns.

    007 Series Ep. 11: Moonraker (1979)/Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Rye (Buffalo Trace Antique Collection)
    Apr 23 2025
    This episode of Drinks and a Movie is blasting off into one of the most outrageous Bond adventures ever—Moonraker (1979). Roger Moore’s 007 goes from Venice to space in a spectacle filled with laser battles, deadly centrifuge tests, and the return of the unstoppable Jaws. It’s over-the-top, it’s ridiculous, and it’s pure late-'70s Bond fun.

    For a movie this bold, I had to pair it with a whiskey that packs just as much punch—the Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Rye from the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. Uncut, unfiltered, and full of intense spice and caramel sweetness, this rye whiskey hits hard, much like the G-forces in Drax’s centrifuge.

    Join me as I break down Bond’s most out-of-this-world adventure while sipping on a rye that’s as powerful as a Moonraker laser blast. Buckle up, pour yourself a glass, and let’s talk Bond. Cheers!
