This week, I am proud to *finally* have my little sister, Grace, join the show.  Gracie just recently graduated from Plymouth State University's musical theater program, and just wrapped her first performance post college as Wednesday Addams in The Addams Family.Although Grace isn't a whiskey drinker, I decided to put Gracie through a blind tasting of four popular Buffalo Trace bourbons - Weller Special Reserve, Eagle Rare, Blanton's, and a special mystery bourbon.  Grace ranks the 4 whiskeys and talks us through what she smells & tastes on each.We also talk about why Grace got into musical theater, her favorite broadway shows and performers, her past roles, why she's the Aquafina of musical theater, and much more!Find all of Grace's information, including her Youtube and social media, via her website here https://www.gracemegangilbert.com/🥃 🥃 🥃 🔔 YouTube Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtvQstELjCLjDGTd9RKOVkw🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/who-gives-a-dram/id1537247128🎶  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0Lvgxb1FR0xL4lHXXK9UUE?si=pBJ-S1XWRWaHLdElSl9WyAMake sure you're subscribed on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and all of your favorite podcast platforms so you never miss an episode.📸 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/whogivesadram🐦 Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/whogivesadram👤Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/whogivesadram🕺Tik Tok - https://www.tiktok.com/@whogivesadram👕 Find Who Gives A Dram Merch here!: https://www.bonfire.com/store/who-gives-a-dram-store/Whiskey is the Water of Life, so Lets start Livin' 🥃

This week, I am joined by my cousin Tessa to sip the two bottles that we won during the silent auction of the 2023 Bourbon Ball - Ardbeg 19yr ' Traigh Bhan' and Lagavulin 14yr, specially selected by Jordan Paisley, distillery manager at Lagavulin. Tessa, as some of you may know, is the daughter of my Uncle Craig and the wife of my cousin John, both of whom passed away.  Tessa and I recap the Bourbon Ball and talk about dealing with death and suicide, all while sipping some incredibly rare scotch.This was a heavy episode, but an episode I enjoyed recording.   We do our best to float in as many jokes as we can in between the morbid talk.  I hope you guys enjoy it as well.Listen to Tessa's new podcast, 'Died By Suicide', here https://open.spotify.com/show/0RaGRyJPn90CdhF3uqXNv9 🥃 🥃 🥃 🔔 YouTube Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtvQstELjCLjDGTd9RKOVkw🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/who-gives-a-dram/id1537247128🎶  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0Lvgxb1FR0xL4lHXXK9UUE?si=pBJ-S1XWRWaHLdElSl9WyAMake sure you're subscribed on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and all of your favorite podcast platforms so you never miss an episode.📸 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/whogivesadram🐦 Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/whogivesadram👤Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/whogivesadram🕺Tik Tok - https://www.tiktok.com/@whogivesadram👕 Find Who Gives A Dram Merch here!: https://www.bonfire.com/store/who-gives-a-dram-store/Whiskey is the Water of Life, so Lets start Livin' 🥃
