E245 - Blinds, Blinds, All The Blinds

The Mash Up ·

2025/04/11

For this Friday episode, we have two sets of blinds - one sponsored by a family member and the other sponsored by a listener. Our listener and friend (Charlie from Ohio) and Kenny's brother Shaun sent us a few blinds and definitely had some tricks up their sleeves. We have so much fun in these episodes and we hope that you enjoy them too. In addition to blinding, we also talk about the experience that we recently had at Wild Turkey for the reintroduction of the 8 year 101 bourbon. So join us

E244 - Bardstown Bourbon Company Cathedral French Oak

The Mash Up ·

2025/04/08

Bardstown Bourbon Company did something extremely innovative when they decided to blend some premium ultra aged bourbon and then rest it in barrels made of 300 year old french oak (for 14 months!). The result? The taste? Well, you'll just have to listen to find out. In this episode, we will tell you what we think of this "first of it's kind" bottle and also let you know if this is worth chasing, especially at the high prices it commands on the enthusiast markets (that don't exist). Special thanks to

E243 - Jack Daniel's 14-Year-Old Tennessee Whiskey

The Mash Up ·

2025/04/04

Jack Daniel's has put out some ultra premium in recent years. Just when you thought it couldn't get any more premium, they recently released a 14-Year-Old Tennessee Whiskey clocking in at a massive 126.3 proof. You have to go all the way back to the early 1900s to find a release from Jack Daniel's that is this old. Many enthusiasts are dubbing this as an early favorite for whiskey of the year. But what do we think of it? You'll have to listen to find out. As always, there is spirited

David Jennings aka Rare Bird 101 is back again! Talking turkey? Nope. This time around, David joins us to talk about his new whiskey company Washington Lafayette Revolutionary Spirits and the very first releases from the brand which are Caleb's Crossing Bourbon & Rye. These whiskeys will be exclusively available on Bourbonoutfitter.com on April 4th. But, what do they taste like? Perhaps more importantly, what is the story behind these bottles? Caleb's Crossing Bourbon is a blend of 6 and

Bonus Episode - Wild Turkey 101 8 year w/Bruce Russell

The Mash Up ·

2025/03/29

Just this week, we were invited to the Wild Turkey Distillery to partake in the reintroduction of the famed 101 proof bourbon with an 8 year age statement as a permanent offering in US market. Being part of this event meant that we got some face time with Bruce Russell who is a third generation whiskey maker with the brand. If you want to know what Wild Turkey 101 with an 8 year age statement means to Bruce and his family, you won't want to miss this episode. Wild Turkey 101 in this form is

E241 - Thirteenth Colony 113 Bourbon Whiskey

2025/03/28

The cats are taking the court this evening to take on Tennessee in the Sweet 16. As excited as we are about the prospects of the Cats making the Elite 8, we are equally as excited about the new bottle we have to review this week. Thirteenth Colony Distilleries recently released their 113 Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished With Maple Wood Spirals to much acclaim. Although Thirteenth Colony has been around for quite a long time, they’ve skyrocketed in popularity over the past few years due to their

E240 - Smooth Ambler Founders' Cask Strength 8yr Bourbon

The Mash Up ·

2025/03/25

Back in episode 84, we tasted and reviewed the 6 year old version of Smooth Ambler Founders' Cask Strength Bourbon. This was a brand new offering of their own distillate from a brand who built their reputation on MGP. Fast forward two years and that distillate has now turned 8 years old! For this weeks short, we revisit another batch of this bourbon which is now a little older and has a bit more proof. On the first go around, we game this a try, try, buy. What will the verdict be this time

E239 - Penelope Estate Collection Private Select 9...

The Mash Up ·

2025/03/21

Penelope Bourbon started in 2018 and quickly ascended to a place only few brands could dream of. They built a cult following and had great distribution. After only a few years as a start up whiskey company, they sold to MGP for over 200 million. We've reviewed Penelope products before on the podcast, but we've never had the pleasure of reviewing anything from their coveted Estate Collection. Thanks to a dedicated listener, we had the opportunity. We taste and review this 9 year old private

E238 - Millstone 100 Rye Whisky

The Mash Up ·

2025/03/18

A whisky voted "worlds best rye" 3 years in a row was virtually unknown to us until Kenny's son started a new business venture. In a strange coincidence, the founding of his company lead to the discovery of this rye. Each batch of Millstone Dutch Single Rye Whisky is meticulously handcrafted using 100% rye mash and aged for a minimum of 100 months in new American oak casks. The distiller claims that the lengthy 11-day fermentation process provides a complexity of flavor that sets this

E237 - Crittenden Distillery Bourbon & Rye

The Mash Up ·

2025/03/14

Mississippi bourbon and rye? Really? The answer is yes. For this week, a listener (Walker) was kind enough to send us two single barrel selections from the Crittenden Distillery in Kiln, Mississippi. With roots of the distillery dating all the back to 2016, you could imagine our surprise when we saw two 7 year cask strength products (bourbon and rye) that were distilled, aged, and bottled by this up and coming whiskey producer. in the midst of tasting. and reviewing this whiskey, Steven and Kenny

E236 - Woodford Reserve Chocolate Whisper Redux

The Mash Up ·

2025/03/11

Woodford Reserve is one of the most iconic distilleries in the world. Despite the fact that they have an incredibly consistent set of products that are very popular, we've lamented that most of their whiskeys are 90.4 proof. Well...the newest release in the limited distillery series offerings is the highest proof whiskey that they've ever releaased! Clocking in at 139.4 proof, Woodford Reserve's Chocolate Whisper Redux comes in a 375ml bottle and costs $99.99. But how does it taste? And

March Madness is upon us! A few episodes ago, we tasted and reviewed a bottle of the Club Blue small batch bourbon (Team White). Since that time, we visited Bespoken Spirits to learn more about the process and what goes into these NIL fundraising bourbons. In this episode, we taste and review a bottle of the Club Blue Team Blue Bourbon which is a high rye bourbon whiskey finished with ex-tequila and cherry wood staves. In order to eliminate all preconceived notions, we decided to fresh crack this

E234 - Hartfield & Co w/Jeremy Buchanan and Mike Leek

The Mash Up ·

2025/03/04

Hartfield & Co. is the only bourbon distillery to exist in Bourbon County since prohibition. Even though they've been in business for a little over 11 years, Hartfield and Co. recently made a lot of waves in the bourbon community when they released their 9 Year Old Family Reserve Bourbon. With most of the barrels clocking in at over 140 proof, this bourbon sold out instantly and only a handful of groups/store were able to select single barrels of it. Justin's House of Bourbon was one of

2025/02/28

For the fifth time in the history of the podcast, we have a listener sponsored double blind. For this week, our listener and friend (Sanch D from right here in Kentucky) opened up his liquor cabinet and pulled out a double blind that would make Kenny blush. We love blinding on this show and Sanch gave us distillate that ALL came from the same distillery. In addition to the three blind samples that we taste and review, we also talk about March Madness and a bunch of other things going on in our

E232 - Knob Creek Bourbon X Rye Blend

The Mash Up ·

2025/02/25

We have seen other companies blend bourbon and rye on purpose and some have done it on accident. Knob Creek is one of the latest brands to try their hand at blending a straight bourbon whiskey with a straight rye whiskey. Coming in at 113 proof, we taste and review this blend and provide our thoughts on it. For short a episode, the laughter is palpable. In this short, but action packed effort, Anthony revisits his love for Total Wine and the fellas get the giggles over a specific tasting note

E231 - EverNorth Spirits Extravaganza

The Mash Up ·

2025/02/21

EverNorth Spirits Co. was founded by Dan Shook and Sean Paisley about a year ago. While Dan and Sean are best known for their YouTube channel the "Bourbon Junkies," their new venture into sourcing and blending their own whiskey has been very positively received. Back in episode 184, we had a chance to hear a bit about EverNorth straight from Dan and Sean. Definitely give that one a listen if you missed it. Despite the fact that we knew about the brand, we don't have a ton of experience

We've tasted and reviewed a handful of Bulleit products in the past, but for this short, we taste and review their newest whiskey to hit the market. Bulleit Bottled in Bond is a new "very special bottling from the company" which boasted that the liquid comes from the 2017 distilling season. While the bottle does not carry an age statement, we surmise that it is at least 7 years old. But how does it taste and should you be hunting for this bottle? Give a listen to this weeks short to

E229 - Larceny Barrel Proof Bourbon (C924)

2025/02/14

Despite being affiliated with Heaven Hill branding, John E. Fitzgerald was not an OG whiskey man. Instead, he was a Treasury agent. Legend has it that he would thieve whiskey from all the best barrels in the warehouse. This is the short story of how the Fitzgerald brand was born. Throughout history, Fitzgerald whiskeys have been a symbol of quality and highly sought after. Today, we taste and discuss the Fitzgerald inspired Larceny Barrel Proof bourbon (C924) and ponder how it stacks up against the

For this weeks short, we have the third batch of Raconteur Rye which is a blended rye whiskey collaboration brought to us by none other than David Jennings (Rare Bird 101) and the good folks over at the WoodWork Collective. You can go back and listen to our reviews of Batch # 1 (E157) and Batch # 2 (E180). The big change for the current batch is that it uses a Kentucky rye as the base whiskey instead of MGP. Coming in at 118 proof and still carrying a 7 year age statement, this bottle released this

For the fourth time in the history of the podcast, we have a listener sponsored double blind. For this week, our listener and friend (Ryan from North Carolina) was kind enough to send us some things to try. We love blinds -- especially when they come from our listeners. In addition to the five blind samples that Ryan sent us, he also sent individual presents for each of us.
