Season 2, Episode 13: Jay (t8ke) West, Managing Editor & Critic - Whiskey Raiders

In this Episode of The Bourbon Life Podcast, Matt and Mark spend some time hanging out with Jay (t8ke) West, Managing Editor and Critic, of Whiskey Raiders. The guys talk with Jay about how his love of whiskey and Reddit led him to start writing reviews on r/bourbon at an age where most guys are still drinking cheap beer, his newest project with Abrams Media called Whiskey Raiders and how they plan to change the Whiskey review game, and what it’s like to come out from behind the curtain of anonymity of Reddit to the spotlight of being front and center of this new project. They also taste and review some heavyweights with Jay, including the new Elijah Craig Barrel Proof A121, Booker’s Pigskin Batch, and Michter’s Barrel Strength Rye.
