December 14, 2023440 - Why Don't Acquired Brands Get Consumer Blowback and 2023 Predictions Review on Bourbon Community Roundtable #88
It's the final Bourbon Community Roundtable of the year it's number 88. In typical fashion we have two topics. First is wondering why there isn't a consumer blowback when a brand gets acquired. It happens all the time in beer when a small craft brand is gobbled up by a large corporation and there is a small piece that dies. In the second half of the show we revisit our 2023 predictions to see who got it right and who got it wrong.

Show Notes:
Above the Char with Fred Minnick (@fredminnick) talks about the expiration date of whiskey
Why is there never consumer blowback when a bourbon brand get acquired?
Let's review our 2023 predictions

December 07, 2023439 - Celebrating 10 Years of Barrell Craft Spirits with Joe Beatrice and Tripp Stimson
Seagrass, Dovetail, Vantage, these are all names that we immediately associate to Barrell Bourbon. I'm excited to bring back two guests on the show, Joe Beatrice and Tripp Stimson, to talk about hitting their 10 year anniversary. Joe and Tripp reflect on their early vision for the company and how it's evolved from figuring out budgets and spending, learning from early batches, and how their decision to not follow the bourbon playbook of building a brand has been a success for them. We talk about expanding their facilities with a new rickhouse, reading consumer habits and trends, where the company will be next, and even Amburana. It's a fascinating look at the past decade and future vision of this fast-growing brand.
Show Notes:
Above the Char with Fred Minnick (@fredminnick) talks about the difference between sourcing and contract distilling?
10 years ago, what was your vision for the company and how has that changed?
What was your budget and figuring out where to spend the money?
What the early feedback with those initial pitches and sourcing?
Has the consumer switched from chasing states to chasing flavor?
Did anyone tell you that going with cask strength was a bad idea?
What have you learned from Batch 001 and do you feel the product has gotten better over time?
How do you look at consumer habits and plan accordingly?
Why did you come up with the derived mash bill?
What is it about Amburana that you like or that can benefit in your blends?
What are your new facilities like?
Talk about the Yellowstone rickhouse you purchased?
What does the next 10 years look like for you all?
Do you feel like like your model is a hard target for an acquisition?

November 30, 2023438 - What is Over, Under, and Properly Rated?
We rate bourbons all the time. But we've never really rated things that surround the product and the bourbon culture. In this episode, Ryan, Fred, and myself look at a bunch of subjects and ask whether it's under rated, over rated, or properly rated. From single barrel picks to bourbon-themed weddings, there's a lot to cover. We'll break down whether booker's boxes and wax dipping are gimmicks or genuinely enhance the experience. And what about all those whiskey influencers on YouTube, Instagram and Tiktok - are they spreading valuable knowledge or just hype? We'll also discuss whether tasting notes and bottled-in-bond really mean anything and if the Fred Minnick effect is real.

Show Notes:
Above the Char with Fred Minnick (@fredminnick) talks about taters and hype around allocated products.
