#2: Barrell Bourbon

Ben and Steve host the first Beast Masters Club event live at Xavier Wine Co. in Manhattan.

The Beast Masters are joined by Joe Beatrice, Founder of Barrell Craft Spirits. Joe describes his journey in creating the company, and explains the process of sourcing, selecting, blending, and bottling his whiskey. The group tastes through Barrell’s American Whiskey Batch 002, Bourbon Batch 008, and then gets to experience the process of choosing a private barrel by tasting all three casks that were sampled for the Beast Masters Club Private Selection #1, a 9.5 Year Single Barrel Tennessee Bourbon.

#1: A Beastly Introduction

In our very first episode of the Beast Masters Club Podcast, founders Steve Zeller and Ben Paluba introduce the series and kick things off with a very special tasting session. 

Beast Masters Club is a totally new concept combining live whiskey tastings, podcasts, and a bottle-of-the-month club. Ben and Steve explain how members can attend live events and join industry experts in our tasting room as they unveil super limited release bottlings chosen just for our club, or sip along at home by subscribing to the 'cast and purchasing the bottles online.

To set the stage for some of the incredible whiskeys we'll be drinking, Ben and Steve are joined by original BMC member Jeff Roth to sample three representations of the types of bottles we'll be sharing with the club: a private barrel pick, an independent bottling, and a highly coveted limited release.
