June 30, 2022364 - Is Jackie Zykan replaceable? King's County vs Irish Whiskey, and Can Stickers Violate Copyright? on Bourbon Community Roundtable #69
I know you've missed it, but the roundtable is back for another big show talking about spicy topics. The big news of Jackie Zykan leaving Old Forester made waves in the bourbon world. Is she a replaceable asset to Brown-Forman and what happens with the 117 series? King's County and the Irish Whiskey Association are in a battle over the use of "irish-style" whiskey on the label. Who should give an inch here? Would we be up in arms if someone outside the US used "bourbon-style" on their label? And there's always more sticker talk but this time we go over the use of copyright and trademarks on different distilleries bottles.

Show Notes:
Jackie Zykan is leaving Old Forester. What do we think will happen to the brand? Is she replaceable?
King's County and the Irish Whiskey Association are in a battle. King's County created an "irish-style" whiskey and the IWA sent a cease and desist. What would we think if a distillery in Ireland created a "bourbon-style" whiskey and put that on the label?
Stickers are going less than subtle now. In the case of copyright issues, should distilleries start caring more?

June 23, 2022363 - Toasted Barrel History and Blind Taste Off
Toasted barrels are all the rage right now, but why? Do they taste better than the regular bourbon counterparts? Or has the consumer shifted their taste profile? In this episode, the Bourbon Pursuit team sits down and blind tastes our way through four samples and we ponder on many questions in the toasted category. Where did it start? Do different mashbills effect the outcome? and Where should the line be drawn on what's acceptable? We examine this and a lot more as we also pick our favorite in the lineup.

Show Notes:
Above the Char with Fred Minnick (@fredminnick) talks about dusty bourbon taste
We blind Woodford Reserve Double Oak, Elijah Craig Toasted, Michter's Toasted Barrel, and Wild Turkey One
Where did we see the first ever release of toasted barrels?
Do different mashbills effect a toasted release?
Why aren't toasted barrel releases transparent with the time spent in the barrel?
Why did Woodford make their toasted Double Oaka line extension while others are limited editions?
Why you think double oak finishing will explode because of young bourbon?
Will toasted barrels be a mainstay or a trend?
How does barrel entry proof effect the toasted barrel?

June 16, 2022362 - 25 Years of Jefferson's Bourbon with Trey Zoeller
If you saw a market that was a sinking ship, would you jump on board? That was bourbon 25 years ago when clear spirits were winning. Trey Zoeller joins the show once again to reflect on the past 25 years. We dive into what it was like trying to break into a community that didn't want newcomers and the hurdles that came along with it. Not to mention, how he could get great barrels of bourbon for a steal because no one wanted them. Lastly, we talk about the lightbulb moment of Ocean that has truly become his signature on the industry and if we will ever see Jefferson's Space Aged.

Show Notes:
Above the Char with Fred Minnick (@fredminnick) talks about looking for flavors on white dog

Why did Brown Forman and Heaven Hill send you a cease and desist?
