The Mash Up

Old Forester recently released their newest offering in the 117 series to celebrate Repeal Day. Coming in at 95 proof and carrying an 11 year age statement, this liquid was matured in a heat cycled warehouse (Warehouse "I" to be exact). This, it is not your standard offering from Old Forester. While this bourbon was created for Repeal Day, we thought it would be good to crack on Christmas Eve. Join us this week as we talk about last minute shopping, taste and review this bourbon, and also discuss the best of 2024. Also, Anthony debuts a very special rendition of "Jingle Bells" to ring in the holiday season.

Bardstown Bourbon Company is known for it's collaboration series. For this week, we taste and review TWO of the newer offerings in this series. The first, Silver Oak, is a collaboration between BBC and Silver Oak Wine makers in California. To make this batch, an eclectic blend of 6 different straight bourbon whiskeys was finished in Silver Oak Cabernet barrels for 17 months. The result...well...you'll have to listen. The second, Amrut, is a collaboration between BBC and the Amrut Distillery which is a famed single malt maker in India. To create to collab, rye was first finished in used Amrut barrels and then blended with bourbon. Do you think we liked this one? Join us this week as we laugh, talk about the holidays, and about a proposed law in Ohio that is nothing short of cringe worthy. To the finish we go!

Surprises come in all shapes and sizes and sometimes they come in a really nice box that contains a bottle of bourbon that is hand numbered to 589. This years release of Michter's 20 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is one of the rarest and most allocated bottles that we've ever laid our eyes on. But, how did we get our hands on it and how does it taste? Well, in the midst of our 2024 "best of blinds," we decided to call an audible and add a few more whiskeys to the competition. Unbeknownst to us all, our buddy Ryan Alves pulled out all the stops and casually showed up with this bottle in hand. So join us this week as we provide an update on our best of blinds competition and give you our thoughts on this highly allocated bottle.

Pappy Van Winkle's 15 Year Family Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is one of the most sought after bottles on the market today. The now famous wheated bourbon recipe was created by Julian P. "Pappy" Van Winkle and he believed the wheat was responsible for creating a soft, smooth, and distinguished profile. Turns out he was right. The Van Winkle recipe and lineup is steeped in history and the brand has become legendary amongst ALL whiskey drinkers. But is the hype and acclaim deserved? What does this unicorn taste like? In this episode, we do our best to demystify Pappy and give you our honest take on this highly coveted pour. You won't believe how much we paid for this bottle and you might also be shocked by how it stacks up against other heavyweights in some impromptu blinds. The holidays are a great time to share bottles with friends and family. If you have a Van Winkle bottle on the shelf, you might want to listen to our pod before you make a decision on opening it. Cheers!

Almost one year ago, our friend Ryan Alves made his first appearance on the podcast to discuss the results of our annual “best of blinds” event. Ryan (and Kenny) started this tradition in 2020. Each year the competition has been slightly different, but, this year might be the biggest and best field we’ve ever had. Over the next month, we will be blind tasting and rating 60 different whiskeys that we all believe could contend for the coveted “whiskey of the year” title. This episode marks the official kick off of our annual blinds. Join us to hear more about what whiskeys we selected, how we run the competition, and some other fun facts about this event.
