We’re tired of it. Tired of the cryptic tasting notes. Tired of the elaborate marketing schemes. Tired of the pretentious plague that has sickened the whiskey industry for far too long now. We’ve had enough of the mind-boggling allocated bottle events where liquor store owners force grown men to act like 5th graders in exchange for a chance to buy a bottle of Weller at retail.
The Hard Proof is on a mission to revitalize the whiskey industry and take it back to a time when whiskey was purchased, enjoyed and shared as it should be. No more buying bottles 200% over MSRP just to have a backup bottle for the one you haven’t even opened yet.
We're not afraid to point fingers, shake up the establishment, and have a good laugh while doing it. Join us as we call out the culprits contributing to the pretentious disease destroying the spirits industry and provide a no-nonsense guide through the whiskey landscape. Pour yourself a glass, settle in, and let's cut through the b******t - one pour at a time.

Too much fun?

Is it possible to have too much fun? Not for you guys. Great show

No thank you!

This is the long awaited reincarnation of the Blue Collar Bourbon Show. They set out to create an unpretentious bourbon podcast, but regrettably churned out an unpolished and unentertaining hot mess. Sorry. Not sorry.

These guys are the best, seriously

Over the last two months I’ve listened to all 300 episodes and I’ve enjoyed every one of them. I’ve found a lot of great value bourbons thanks to JP, JD, and D Rock. They’re very entertaining and unpretentious. I’ve recommended this show to all of my friends who drink whiskey.
