Distilled Bourbon Podcast

Plenty of bottles of bourbon bear somebody’s name: Blanton’s. Col. E.H. Taylor. Pappy Van Winkle. And the shrewd George Remus.

Who were these icons of bourbon? Did Elijah Craig really invent bourbon? Why should we care about Evan Williams? 

Much of the enjoyment of bourbon culture is understanding the history and culture of the trade. In this episode, Brent, Brian and Chuck tell you the life stories behind the names behind some of the most interesting brands of bourbon.

We all know about top-shelf bourbons. Those are the pricy bottles that you see in the full-page ads in the whiskey magazines and at eye level in your local liquor store. But what about bottom-shelf bourbons — the cheap juice tucked away down by the floor that you don’t see unless you’re looking for them?

Are there any bottom-shelf bourbons worth sipping? In this episode, Brent, Brian and Chuck try a blind taste-test of seven whiskeys priced at under $30 to find out. And there sure were some surprises! The boys behind the Distilled Bourbon Podcast encourage you to listen to our experience — and then to organize your own blind tasting so you can discover your own surprises!
