July 06, 2023417 - Is Collectible Whiskey on the Decline?
Back on episode 397 we talked about whiskey being an investment but now we are reevaluating the current landscape and if collectible whiskey, namely bourbon, is on the decline. We consider changes in the bourbon market, including the increased interest from the high net worth community. There is a nostalgia for the past when information about whiskey was more accessible but we recognize that changes are happening. After all, there is the other notion about the legality of selling alcohol without a license and the penalties of investing in whiskey.

June 29, 2023416 - Who Needs $500 Bottles and Distillery Tasting Kits on Bourbon Community Roundtable #82
It's another great episode of The Bourbon Community Roundtable and this is the 82nd edition. Over the past few weeks Jack Daniel's has made its case against a dog toy manufacturer all the way to the Supreme Court. There's no better time than the present to have Brian Harra of Sipp'n Corn break it down into what this means for parody law and for anyone else trying to infringe on a trademark. Then we dive in with our first topic with expensive bottles of bourbon. I'm not talking secondary, I'm talking like $500 bottles. The idea came to me when I saw lots of people dismissing the new Daniel Weller release because it's 11 years old and only 4 proof points higher than Weller 12, but Buffalo Trace is putting a price tag that is 900% higher. Does bourbon need $500 bottles? In the second half we look at distillery tasting kits. Four Roses recently announced theirs and people are already getting amped up for it. However, many distilleries have done this in the past and failed. Has the time come when we could see this trend start to take off?

Show Notes:
Above the Char with Fred Minnick (@fredminnick) talks about what distillery could overtake Buffalo Trace's Antique Collection.
Talk about the Jack Daniel's case against the dog toy manufacturer.
Does bourbon need $500 bottles?
Do you think distillery tasting kits will take off?

June 22, 2023415 - The Story Behind Wyoming Whiskey with David DeFazio
If you're looking for a bourbon that has been crafted by arguably the best distiller of wheated bourbon and blended by the most respected nose in the industry, then you're looking for Wyoming Whiskey. The story of how Wyoming Whiskey got started is fascinating and that's why I invited David DeFazio, one of the original Co-Founders, to come on the show and share how an idea of starting a winery turned into a distillery that failed on their first release, crawled its way back to greatness. David shares the story of buying a Vendome still but not having a distiller and took Steve Nally, the man responsible for decades of wheated bourbon production at Maker's Mark and now serving as the Master Distiller at Bardstown bourbon Company, out of retirement to be the person who would set them up for amazing whiskey for years to come. But, that's not all, David and his team also got Nancy Fraley to come in and be the person who would take their releases to the next level. Plus, stick around to the end to hear about some rye distillation fun.

Show Notes:
Above the Char with Fred Minnick (@fredminnick) talks about stonefruit
What got you into whiskey and how did you carve your path in this industry?
What did you want to come away with when you visited the Kentucky Bourbon Festival trying to start this business?
What did you think Wyoming could offer to the whiskey landscape?
How did you get connected to Steve Nally?
When you started did you feel there was going to be a demand for bourbon?
Did you tell Steve Nally what kind of bourbon to create?
What's the climate like for aging?
Where did the relationship with Nancy Fraley start?
What was your sales plan?
How did you win people back when you failed in your first release?
Did Edrington try to make things super luxury after the acquisition?
Was there a reason that the backstory and founders haven't been on the forefront of the brand story?
