The Practical Still is a podcast, website, and YouTube channel about whiskey. We take a practical approach to what has become an absurdly impractical hobby of the enjoyment of bourbon, rye, and scotch whisk(e)y along with other distilled spirits. Forget chasing unicorn bottles, standing in ridiculous lines, entering lotteries, or paying outrageous secondary/black market prices for whiskey. We focus on great bottles we can enjoy today.The podcast, YouTube videos, and all website content are written, engineered, and produced in house.
