February 16, 2023397 - Should Whiskey Be An Investment?
Most people get into bourbon because we enjoy it. There is a story behind every bottle and that captivates us. But then there are times we get our hands on a bottle and start thinking twice before opening it. The secondary market for scotch has been around a while but bourbon is relatively new in comparison. There has been an increase of rare bourbons hitting high dollars at auctions and even more auction houses are starting to become legal. In this episode, Ryan, Fred, and Kenny analyze the bourbon market and give our opinions on why whiskey isn't just for drinking anymore. We also gaze into our crystal ball and try to guess on some brands that have potential future value and then we talk about moving on from flipping bottles to flipping barrels.

Show Notes:
Is whiskey really made for drinking and not collecting?
Why is the value of the current whiskey market starting to decline?
Is there a lack of marketing to get people into more higher end bottles?
What are we drinking now that could be valuable in the future?
People have moved on from bottles to starting to own barrels, is that a safe investment?
Do you need to worry about the source of the barrels if you're buying on the open market?
For real, this is not financial advice.

February 09, 2023396 - Fading Trends, Evolution of In-Store Buying, and Increase of Bourbon Fests on Bourbon Community Roundtable #77
This is BCR #77 and its always a fan favorite so here's what we have tonight. Like bad hair and skinny jeans, trends come and go. But the same thing happens in the bourbon world. I pose a question to the group, if we see any trends fading. We start talking about stickers and barrel picks, but there are more we see happening. In the next section of the show, I ask everyone if the in-store buying experience is changing. There have been a lot of partnerships and acquisitions by Drizly, GoPuff, ReserveBar, and even Seelbachs. Are online and on-demand outlets such as these making consumers less likely to try new things? In the last part of the show, it's a question from Brian and he wants to know are there just too many bourbon festivals?

Show Notes:
Above the Char with Fred Minnick (@fredminnick) cigars.
What bourbon trends are fading?
Will Drizly/GoPuff/Seelbachs/ReserveBar kill the in-store experience?
How can brands get people to try new things when many people will choose what's comfortable?
Are there too many bourbon festivals? It seems like every festival is now BLANK + Bourbon.

February 02, 2023395 - Why Are Master Distillers Leaving? with Jason Callori of The Mash and Drum
There seems to be a growing trend in the whiskey world and that is when you start seeing the accustom faces you know and trust in a brand leave to go and start their own venture. Can you blame them? There is more opportunity to own a piece of the pie. But could we see a growing problem where we see those brands struggle to take off? To help dive into this conversation we invite Jason Callori of the Mash and Drum on the show. We kick off the show to learn more about Jason and how he built one of the largest whiskey YouTube channels. Then we talk about Master Distillers and other faces leaving their respected brands and what motivates such a move.

Show Notes:
Above the Char with Fred Minnick (@fredminnick) talks the frustration of secondary prices and not finding bottles
How did you get into bourbon?
What channels influenced you to start your own channel?
What wins, content or production value?
Did you ever have a sensation of burnout?
Who are some of the favorite guests that you have had on the show?
Are you master distillers and faces of the brand leaving for more money?
Has the Master Distiller title been diluted?
How fair is it for blenders to be criticized when they only have access to what's on the open market vs what they had at their disposal at a previous company?
If you have a small brand and one batch bombs, how long can you rely on your reputation?
Will a whiskey geek give someone a second chance?
If someone is leaving from being a face of a brand, how long should they wait until they announce they are starting a new brand?
