2025/08/26

The Mash Up ·

2025/08/22

Over the last couple of weeks, we've started to release our very own hand selected barrel picks. A good majority of our community has been clamoring for us to give some tasting notes and discuss what we picked. There is no sugar coating it, in this episode, we cover a lot of ground. We taste, discuss, and review our upcoming barrel picks, but we also mix in some listener blinds. This episode is definitely for the whiskey nerd or the person who likes blinding as much as we do. Give us a listen

Fort Hamilton Distillery is located in Brooklyn, New York and was founded in 2016 by Alex Clark and his wife Amy Grindeland. We caught up with this dynamic duo during our recent trip to the Hoochenanny Whiskey and Music festival.

E281 - Four Roses SB Barrel Strength (OESQ)

The Mash Up ·

2025/08/15

You've heard us talk about Four Roses Single Barrel / Barrel Strength picks many times over. The fact that we've never reviewed one for the podcast is just plain crazy. This week, we taste and review a pick from Bros Liquor in California. Our very own Kenny Mills was part of the pick team. So, tune in to hear our thoughts about this 9.5 year, 122.4 proof OESQ recipe barrel pick. It's safe to say that OESQ isn't traditionally one of the more sought after recipes, but our thoughts on

E280 - Mystery Double Blind

The Mash Up ·

2025/08/12

We promised that we would actually stick to our word this week and record a "short" episode. However, Kenny threw in one of his classic curveballs. As you will notice, this episode is completely blind. You don't know what the bottle is so you'll just have to listen to find out what bourbon we reviewed and what we thought about it. If this works out, we might do more episodes just like this. Let us know what you think. --------------------------SocialsIG:

The Mash Up ·

2025/08/05

New Era Whiskey and Spirits (NEWS) is new and local non-distiller producer and many people have no idea who they are. Even though they been in business for a little under a year, they generated a lot of unintentional hype when one of their first releases sold for an unbelievable amount on Unicorn Auctions. For this episode, we sit down with one of the with co-founders of NEWS, Zane Brammell. Zane is known to us because he started off as a member of the whiskey community here in Lexington, Kentucky

E277 - Old Grand Dad 7 Year Bottled in Bond

The Mash Up ·

2025/08/01

The Jim Beam distillery recently resurrected a legend and released Old Grand Dad Bottled in Bond with a 7 year age statement. This return of age statements to bonded products is a recent trend that we have seen from many legacy distillers. Even though OGD used to carry an 8 year age statement, the return of the product to the shelf with an 7 year age statement and with an MSRP of $40 has been met with a lot of excitement. But how does the bourbon taste? More importantly, how does it stack up to some

E275 - Blood Oath Pact No. 11

The Mash Up ·

2025/07/25

It's kind of crazy to think that the Blood Oath series has been around since 2015 -- yet we've never talked about it on the podcast. A "limited" annual release from Lux Row Distillers, Blood Oath is a unique offering that changes each year and showcases the ability of master distiller and industry veteran, John Rempe. Each year, Rempe selects the base stocks of whiskey for this project and then they are married and often times finished to create something that "shall never

Just last year (E231), we discussed EverNorth Spirits Co. and tasted through some of their offerings. Kenny went on a recent buying spree and got his hands on a number of 2025 releases from EverNorth which include Spirit Walker, Night Stalker, and Essence. With three bottles to review, this episode turned more into a "medium" rather than a "short." We hope you enjoy our review and commentary about these bottles. Again, we ask the question: Should you be paying attention to EverNorth Spirits? The

E271 - Blinds From A Fellow Podcaster

2025/07/11

We are still working through all the blinds we've received from listeners and friends. Our listener, friend, and fellow podcaster (Todd Ritter) sent us four blinds samples. Todd is the co-host of The Bourbon Road podcast and he has become a good friend of ours. This episode was recorded late into the evening and we spent quite a bit of time trying to dissect these whiskies. How did we do? You'll have to listen to find out. Spoiler alert, Kenny nails a few of the blinds, but one of them

2025/07/04

Dark Arts Whiskey House recently opened its brand new tasting room right here in Lexington, KY. We took a trip down there and were delighted to see Batch #2 of the famed "Blunt Blend" which is an 8 year old rye whiskey that is finished in Madeira and Armagnac casks. Back in E153, we got to hear about this whiskey and Dark Arts in general from the Chief Alchemist himself, Macaulay Minton. Dark Arts is doing some amazing stuff at the moment.

Buffalo Trace shocked the world on Father's Day by releasing the highly anticipated 12 year version of Eagle Rare. Coming in at 101 proof, this extension of the product line has been met with much fanfare. Going for as much as six to seven times MSRP on the markets that don't exists, you knew we had to put this through it's paces with a big ole blind. We meant for this one to be a video, but it wasn't meant to be. Enjoy this short and let us know if you will be chasing this 12 year

Jim Beam recently launched Old Grand Dad Bottled in Bond with a 7 year age statement. This product joins the trend that we've seen recently with legacy distillers returning higher age statements to bonded products. Old Grand Dad used to carry an 8 year age statement, but enthusiasts and newbies alike were happy to see the return of the age statement at an MSRP of $40. But how does this taste? More importantly, how does it stack up against other legacy distillers recent age stated releases

For this week, we taste and review two different bottles of Bull Run American Whiskey with unique finishes and a surprise blind from our friend Shawn (Camas Whiskey Club). Since 2010, Bull Run has been sourcing and finishing some amazing whiskeys. While Bull Run is known to us for the whiskey they produce, they also dabble in rum, vodka, and other spirits.

Anyone else experiencing some deja vu? About this time last year, we reviewed the Father's Day release from Four Roses. Still dawning the language, "raise a glass to the man who raised you well," this years limited offering was made up of numerous OBSF single barrels that were roughly 15 years old and between 109-118 proof. This distillery only release has become a tradition, but, is it worth the time and effort it takes to get your hands on a bottle. We'll give you our perspective
