The Sazerac Rye Lineup & Our Bourbon Journey with Chris Chambers
Monday, 23 March, 2026

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Bottles & Bites Without Borders, Rob is joined by longtime friend Chris Chambers to do more than just taste whiskey — we take a trip back through 16 years of bourbon, friendship, and the evolution of our palates.What started as a couple of guys figuring out what bourbon even was has turned into a full-blown appreciation for great whiskey… and a few stories along the way that probably shouldn’t be told (but are anyway).We use the Sazerac Rye lineup — 90 proof, 100 proof, and 125 full proof — as the backdrop for the conversation and ask:Does higher proof actually mean better whiskey?Has our taste shifted toward bigger, bolder pours over time?Is the 90 proof still relevant, or have we outgrown it?And how much of this journey is about the whiskey… vs the people you share it with?Along the way, we revisit early bottles, bad picks, great finds, and the moments that turned casual drinkers into true enthusiasts.This episode is about more than rye whiskey — it’s about how your palate evolves, how your preferences change, and how the right people make every pour better.Pour something good, sit back, and come hang out with us.🎙 Rob Clark — Host of Bottles & Bites Without Borders Exploring the world of food, wine, and whiskey—one bottle and bite at a time.🌐 Website: www.bottlesandbiteswb.com 📸 Instagram: @bottles_bites_wb 🐦 X (Twitter): @foodwhiskey 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/533352930766813 📧 Email: rob@bottlesandbiteswb.com#food #whiskey #bourbon #wine #homecook #cook #BBQ #foodie #Italy #barolo #cabernet Sauvignon #france #italy #spain #napa #scotch #pizza #coffee Support the show
