GolfCask - Originals

In this edition, we take a journey through golf, cigars, travel, and the stories that connect them.
First, Dr. Mike Grevlos imagines a letter from philosopher Søren Kierkegaard to the modern golfer, exploring anxiety, expectation, and the search for authenticity on the golf course. Then we light up the legendary Amazon Basin cigar and discover why it's become one of the most sought-after smokes for long summer evenings.
From there, we travel beneath the streets of Edinburgh to explore Sköll & Hati, a Norse mythology-inspired cocktail bar where storytelling and world-class drinks create an unforgettable experience. Finally, LPGA coach John Lewellen shares practical insights on one of golf's biggest frustrations: why great swings on the range often disappear once the round begins.
Whether you're a golfer, whiskey enthusiast, cigar lover, or traveler searching for your next adventure, there's something waiting for you on this flight.

Tonight on The Syndicate Select Pairing Show, the crew dives into a smoky, hilarious, and surprisingly deep pairing session featuring the Leaf by Oscar Maduro cigar and two Old Raleigh blended American whiskeys. What starts as a simple tasting quickly turns into debates about retrohales, lawn stripes, putt-putt golf, and whether anyone’s dumb enough to light the cigar’s outer wrapper.
The Leaf by Oscar Maduro steals the spotlight with rich espresso, cocoa, cream, and black pepper notes that evolve throughout the smoke — exactly what a good Maduro should do. Paired alongside Old Raleigh’s cigar blend whiskey and barrel proof bourbon, the conversation explores how whiskey and cigars transform each other when matched correctly. Sweetness softens bitterness, spice sharpens flavor, and every sip changes the smoke.
More than tasting notes, this episode captures what cigar and whiskey culture is really about: slowing down, sharing stories, laughing with friends, and enjoying the ritual. Because nobody remembers every flavor note the next morning — but they remember the laughs, the smoke-filled room, and the pours shared along the way.
