Join us for a pour of Castle & Key Single Barrel Bourbon as we discuss the July 1864 Battle of Cool Spring! (Fittingly known as CASTLEman's Ferry) We're joined by Professor Jonathan Noyalas of Shenandoah University to guide us through this often overlooked engagement.

We're back with another episode of Battlefields & Bourbon as we sit & sip on some Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel from Heaven Hill Distillery! To pair with our whiskey, we discuss the July 2, 1861 Battle of Hokes Run, VA (now WV). This small, lesser known engagement features numerous notable names who would later rise to fame during the War. Ironically, this episode lasts longer than the Battle itself! So, grab your favorite Heaven Hill whiskey and lets talk Civil War history!

We're headed way up North in Episode 26 as we discuss the St. Albans Raid in Vermont! Haven't heard of it? That's probably because it occurred on the same day as the Battle of Cedar Creek! As we dive into this topic with Aaron Siever of Aaron's Civil War Travels, we sip on some Smuggler's Notch Maple Infused Bourbon & Rye Whiskey from Smuggler's Notch Distillery in Jeffersonville, Vermont. Our whiskeys for this episode were graciously provided by one of our listeners, Cindy, as she sits in for the episode!

Sit & sip with us as we discuss Co. A of the 11th Mississippi Infantry over a glass of Michter's Sour Mash Whiskey with first time guest, Mike Gionfriddo.

All of this, plus a deep dive into Michter's Distillery in Louisville, Kentucky! Pour a glass and lets talk Battlefields & Bourbon!

Join us for another Distillery-Exclusive as we sit & sip with Mr. Bruce Tyler, founder of Weldon Mills Distillery in Weldon, North Carolina!

In this episode, we sip some cocktails made with bourbons distilled, aged, and bottled by Weldon Mills as we talk with Bruce about his background and what got him into the industry. Be sure to check them out next time you're in North Carolina!
