Whiskey + Rock

by Whiskey and Rock

Whiskey and Rock was launched by D-Rock and JR in 2023. These whiskey enthusiasts not only love a great pour, but also love having conversations and sharing stories from the distilling industry and community. So we covered the whiskey part. What about the rock? Rock is all about how you enjoy your whiskey and the connections you make along your whiskey journey. For us, music and whiskey have been consistent threads of our friendship, and we hope this podcast will be a way to make new friends, build community and find out what else pairs well with whiskey. D-Rock and JR invite you to join this community and VIP experience as they learn about the craft of distilling, meet some of the folks backstage, and of course, drink good whiskey.

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

From Day 1, this podcast starts strong with knowledgeable but not overbearing whiskey reviews. Excited to hear what comes down the pipe!

DamageContrl · Mar 2023

I’ve enjoy listening to D-Rock since the inception of The Blue Collar Bourbon podcast. Since that pod has ended, this is a good spin-off. My only complaint is that, quite often, juice is discussed that can only be purchased locally in Franklin, TN (500 miles away from me)!
