E265 - Star Hill Farm American Wheat Whisky

The Mash Up ·

2025/06/20

Star Hill Farm American Wheat Whisky is a new offering from Maker's Mark and it also represents something that is wildly different from what we've come to expect from such a storied brand. The mash bill is comprised of predominately soft red winter wheat and malted barley. While the lack of corn means that this cannot be labeled as a bourbon, it is an Estate Whiskey Certified product which means that 2/3 of all the grains used were grown on Maker's property and all production processes also took

The Mash Up ·

2025/06/06

Laws Whiskey House is located in Denver, Colorado and it is the official whiskey of the University of Colorado. Even though this brand has been around for quite some time, most of us are not super experienced with it. In fact, we all remember seeing some their A.D. Laws Four Grain Bourbon on the shelves, but none of us tried it. Fast forward to this weeks episode. We were able to get our hands a 10.5 year hazmat single barrel rye from Laws that was picked by a local barrel group (Hooch Barrel Club)

It's been a minute since we had a guest to just hang, talk about bourbon things, and share in the comradery of the spirit.

The Mash Up ·

2025/05/30

Even though it's 2025. the 2024 batches of Stagg (Jr) are still just now hitting certain markets. It's hard to believe that there are four batches of Stagg now! How the times have changed. Uncut and unfiltered, Stagg is a classic bourbon that is approximately a decade old, carries a high proof, and represents the one of the pioneers of what we now know as modern day Buffalo Trace. This whiskey needs no introduction. We've reviewed it before, but Stagg newbies and enthusiasts alike know

2025/05/20

For this week's short, we head deep into the rickhouses and distilleries to explore another bourbon that was nearly forgotten about. When rare whiskies or bourbons are lost, Diageo helps get them back to their intended place with their Orphan Barrel series. The newest release in the Orphan Barrel series is Fanged Pursuit Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. This bourbon is aged 17 years and has a "variable" mashbill of 68%-74% corn, 19%-22% rye, and 19% malted barley. So how does this

2025/05/16

“Be good to the land and the land will be good to you.” Frey Ranch was started by Colby & Ashley Frey. The Frey family has been farming in Northern Nevada since 1854 and they knew their grains were extremely high quality which is part of the reason they started a distillery. Despite their reputation and acclaim, none of uz had ever really tasted their product.

2025/05/09

If Larrikin Bourbon Company is unfamiliar to you, then you are in good campany. Prior to this week’s episode, we had never heard of this brand. Well, we thought we had never heard of them — but it turns out that we did. In 2022, Lawrenceburg Bourbon Company was founded, but after only a short about of time, the company rebranded to Larrikin. The distillery is proudly owned and operated by Greg Keeley who is a combat veteran with service in both Australian and U.S. navies. Greg’s story is as unique

For this Tuesday short, we decided to switch it up a bit and engaged with our extensive backlog of blinds.

You've heard us talk about a lot of whiskey over the years, but MGP has had a special place in our hearts.

E249 - Maker's Mark Wood Finishing: The Keeper's Release

The Mash Up ·

2025/04/25

Maker's Mark wood finishing series is something that we've become very fond of over the past few years. Once a brand that focused on consistency, Maker's has branched out and really pushed the limits when it comes to special releases. This expansion of the product line has been a welcomed change for most bourbon enthusiasts who have demanded more out of Maker's. This week, we taste and review the newest release in the Maker's Mark Wood Finishing Series: The Keepers Release. While Steven and Anthony

E248 - Old Forester 117 Series "Extra Old"

The Mash Up ·

2025/04/22

In January of this year, Old Forester brought back the "extra old" 117 series offering. This is the second time this style of bourbon has released since the start of the 117 series. Essentially, this bourbon is similar to Old Forester 1910 which is one of our favorites. The key differentiating factor is the time the bourbon rests in a secondary toasted oak cask. 1910 is aged for 7-9 month and "extra old" is aged in the secondary cask for up to 18 months. The result?
