🎙️ Show Me Spirits — Episode: The Wampus Cat
This week on Show Me Spirits, we dive into the dark forests of American folklore to explore the legend of the Wampus Cat — a fearsome and mystical creature rooted in Southern Appalachian and Cherokee traditions. Often described as a hybrid between a woman and a mountain lion, the Wampus Cat has haunted imaginations for generations with glowing eyes, a piercing scream, and a mysterious past.
🔮 Spirit of the Week: Ben Holladay 1856 Original
Our featured spirit this episode comes from the legendary Holladay Distillery in Weston, Missouri. Founded in 1856 and now operated by McCormick Distilling Company, Holladay has a rich history of crafting bold bourbon. We’re sipping on their Ben Holladay 1856 Original — aged 6 years, 100 proof, and Bottled-in-Bond. This smooth, complex bourbon is the perfect companion for tonight’s tale.
