In this episode of The Blend, Brian Bailie debuts his new studio setup, featuring three areas designed for filming: a tasting bar for whiskey discussions, a casual conversation area for cocktails and discussions, and a computer station for data-driven content. Brian answers three golf, whiskey, and blend-related questions, covering topics such as improving golf without lessons through targeting and finger dispersion, mastering putting with an emphasis on speed control, and finding the right coach. On the whiskey side, he explains the influence of grains on whiskey flavor, the differences between single malts and blended whiskeys, and how proof impacts flavor and drinkability. Blend questions include pairing whiskey with challenging golf situations, post-round whiskey rituals, and the best destinations for golf and whiskey. Brian invites viewers to join the GolfCask community, promoting upcoming events like the Irons & Oak weekend and encouraging engagement on the platform.
