Purus vodka tips the scales on our budget shelf!

If you are interested in helping us keep the show running please think about buying us a drink or throwing us a tip to our Venmo. www.venmo.com/u/tastebudguys
Purus vodka wasn't something we sought out, but it was on sale and the bottle looked cool so into the studio it came. With very low expectations, we actually wound up liking this bottle for the most part. It's never a good sign when you start with the bottle, but here we go. It's an interesting bottle, and one that's unique enough to stand out on the shelf. Watch out for that mile long neck pour though. The vodka itself is a bit sweet, clean, and hot. Although it's a wheat vodka, it reminds of good clean moonshine a bit. While not a go-to bottle for us, we've certainly had worse. Cheers!

You can call us Taste Buds or the Two Guys behind the counter, it doesn't matter to us. We are two guys from Missouri doing a Craft Beer Review and a Whiskey Review (or Whisky Review depending where you are from) with a drive to always Try Something New. We won't drive you crazy with snobby tasting notes that no one else will understand, just a general idea of what the beer or food tastes like. We want YOU to join us in trying exciting new things to open our minds, and pallets, to something different. So join Chris Horn and Lyal Strickland as we foray into some suds and grains and stumble all over ourselves trying to sound smarter than they really are. Some of the things we love to try are Scotch, Bourbon, Rum, Tequila, wine, and craft beer of all kinds. We argue between Stouts and Porters, IPA and Sour, Farmhouse and Lager. I'm sure there isn't anything we won't disagree about except that we like to try new stuff.
If you have a favorite brewery or Distillery or anything else, be sure to send us a message so we can try it at [e-mail]

How many episodes do you guys record in a taping? What do you do after the recordings? That would be a cool behind the scenes video to drop on your channel

[@chrishorn8755]

Hi Nick. Thanks for the questions. Typically, we do about 3 episodes in a night. Unless we are behind then we shoot more like 6-8....and we definitely did not try to do 13 in one night because of covid rules.... Anyhow, usually after the recording, we drink some more, or pick some music (Lyal is a musician as we say) or we play cards.... or all of that. I am not sure if we have ever done an "after episode" but we have done several live episodes that is basically us just sitting there drinking and chatting with whomever shows up online. We are actually due for another one. We have done some tours of the place, but nothing really recent. Might be time for that as well, it's changed a lot over the years. ~cheers

Which one of you guys has this as a house or mancave?

[@chrishorn8755]

So, that's a bit of a story. It is not at either of our houses, its actually in the basement of a very old building. I used to own it, then Lyal bought it. Over the last 5 years, we just kept building, it started out as a small bar with a couple bottles (see first year episodes), then we moved it like year two to a bigger area, and then moved it again like year 3 to what you see now, and then last year we actually finished up the rest of the basement so we had an actual place to hang out besides behind the bar. We always say hit us up if you come through the area, we mean it!

@chrishorn8755 that's badass. Not a bar but it is a bar!

[@chrishorn8755]

Thanks man. It’s actually two. There is an entirely stocked user bar at the front that we actually drink at. The one in the videos is for recording. Well, showing off too, I suppose. Lol😂
