March 21, 2024454 - The Evolving Trends of Bourbon Journalism with Maggie Kimberl
Before there were Instagram and TikTok influencers, YouTubers, and even podcasters, there were writers. I'm not talking about bloggers. But esteemed authors and journalists who dug into a story and took it to magazines and other trade publications. The times have changed, our attention spans have gotten much shorter, and now running a story is much different. To help gives more insight into whiskey journalism we've invited Maggie Kimberl back on the show. She's the Content Editor of American Whiskey Magazine and writes some of the most intriguing stories in bourbon today. We all evaluate how access to distilleries have gotten harder through PR firms and how there may be a dilution of valuable content and talent because the barrier to entry is much lower through social media. It's not all doom and gloom though. We are now in a time when there is more to talk about than ever in bourbon. There is going to be no shortage of new stories with the boom of so many new distilleries and entrants into the market.

Show Notes:
Above the Char with Fred Minnick (@fredminnick) talks about the lobbying groups for whiskey and bourbon.
How small was the community in whiskey journalism?
Has the access to the distillers and the people changed over the years?
How many more events are there now?
At what point in time did you start seeing a shift happen from deep articles vs click bait?
If writing isn't a means to have a successful career did judging whiskey awards feel like a next step?
What are the types of stories in magazines that people really latch on to and engage?
Do stories on bourbon tourism do well?
Do you see a problem with short-form content and those content creators?
Do big brands even need bourbon media any longer?

March 14, 2024453 - Will Horses Help Sell a Bottle? with Sean Josephs of Pinhook
The platform of this podcast was to help connect listeners to the brands they see on the store shelves. As time has gone on, sometimes we discover there really isn't much substance to a brand. But today's guest is the very opposite. I found myself enthralled with our guests history in the culinary world and what he's doing to make his whiskey be one that many can appreciate from the liquid to the blending. Sean Josephs is the Co-Founder & Master Blender behind Pinhook. You know all those bottles with race horses on the label and different colored wax. Sean talks about getting his start in restaurants, grinding it out, and eventually working at some of the world's premier establishments and becoming such a decorated wine sommelier that he would be considered famous by those standards. Consider me a bit star struck by the time this episode is over. Then he finds a new passion in bourbon and opens up one of the first ever whiskey bars in Brooklyn and eventually left to start Pinkhook bourbon. Sean's passion comes through and we learn the secret decoder ring to knowing more about all his Pinhook bottles and what's in store for the future.

Show Notes:
Above the Char with Fred Minnick (@fredminnick) talks about adding water to high proof whiskey.
What's your background and how did you get into bourbon?
As a somm, do you remember the most epic wine?
Was starting a whiskey bar in 2008 in Brooklyn a bold move?
Were barrel selections becoming popular for restaurants in 2016?
What made you want to stop doing bars and restaurants and start the whiskey brand?
Can you explain the packaging and colors and how they work?
What makes your whiskey special and what are you doing there?
How long do you think you'll have enough whiskey to keep your projects going?
