The other night we had Andrew Virgin and Jordan Spitzer from Bespoken Spirits out of Lexington, Kentucky join us for a virtual tasting. Three samples on the table, and none of them were made the way you think.
Bespoken doesn't age in barrels. They start with young bourbon, cut oak staves down with a laser to multiply the surface area, seal them into a pressurized tank with the whiskey, and run the whole thing like a sous vide for a matter of days. Jordan called it amplifying extraction rather than speeding it up, and after tasting through three finishes built entirely on that process, I get the distinction.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
