July 27, 2023420 - What's a Cigar Batch? and Finished Whiskeys as Special Releases on Bourbon Community Roundtable #83
It's everyone's favorite, Bourbon Community Roundtable, and this is the 83rd edition. This episode gets, we'll say passionate at times because this is tackling the craze of finishes. The first topic is the seemingly abundance of "cigar" blend or batch bourbons. Why is this so attractive? Can't anything be called a cigar blend? I thought the whole point of a good cigar and a good bourbon is because they already naturally pair well. That of course spins into some amburana talk and you know how that ends up. In the second half of the show, I turn my attention to the major distilleries who are putting out finishes as limited or special releases. These distilleries have an abundance of really good bourbon, so why play the game of finished when you can rely on something like a special release with a double digit age statement?

Show Notes:
Above the Char with Fred Minnick (@fredminnick) having a whiskey trust.
What does "cigar blend" really mean?
Who here likes amburana?
Why do the major distilleries release finished bourbon when they have a bunch of really good inventory?

July 20, 2023419 - Making Bourbon Big at Retail with Brad Williams of GoPuff
If you've been to Kentucky, then you've probably stopped at one of the many Liquor Barn locations. It's been a cornerstone for bourbon buyers such as myself for many years. But now Liquor Barn has been acquired by GoPuff and we get a chance to sit down with Brad Williams, the Sr Category Manager for American Whiskey of GoPuff Brands, to talk about what it's like to manage American Whiskey brands and barrel picks across geographies for the brand family of Liquor Barn, BevMo, and 400 other regional locations. Needless to say, it's a lot of whiskey math and choosing barrels to go in the right markets. Brad gives us insight into keeping customers excited, what happens when a barrel pick flops, and where he sees buying trends happening.

Show Notes:
Above the Char with Fred Minnick (@fredminnick) talks about preference of small batch over single barrles
Why is your title so long and what does it encompass?
How did GoPuff start?
How did competition in the market make you change strategies?
Since GoPuff is across many states, does allocation go across states?
How are you able to devote your time to the mass amount of single barrels selected?
With your leverage can you make distilleries do special things that no one else can do?
What happens when a barrel pick flops?
How do you keep customers excited about more barrel picks?
Do you try to have the largest bourbon selection across the state?
What bourbon buying trends are you seeing?
How do you deal with the haters that don't like your barrel picks?
What's your criteria on judging whiskey for different markets?

July 13, 2023418 - Brand Mysticism with Aaron Goldfarb and Steven Grasse
What attracts you to a brand? It's that unexplainable underpinning called Brand Mysticism. I'm joined by author, Aaron Goldfarb and brand icon builder Steve Grasse to talk about this very subject they happened to publish a book on called Brand Mysticism. Steve has a lot of feathers in his cap such as being the brains behind Hendrix gin and Sailor Jerry rum. These aren't typical brands like we see in bourbon but this book is how to brand almost anything. It's a teaser into figuring out how to transform an idea into a brand, evolve an existing brand, and even some of the best lessons to take away in the book. Plus, we even dive into the brand mysticism behind Pappy Van Winkle.

Show Notes:
Above the Char with Fred Minnick (@fredminnick) talks about other spirits to be curious about
Give an update to your backgrounds and how you got into spirits
How do you transform an idea, such as a tshirt, into a brand?
Can you just make up a brand today without a deep story?
Do we need celebrities in the alcohol industry?
What was the basis of the book?
How do you constantly evolve a brand and adapt to lifestyle changes?
What are some of those great lessons you've learned from Steve?
How does Pappy fall into Brand Mysticism?
