Michter's 10 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey has been around for quite some time. While "M10" bourbon is always a favorite amongst Michter's fans and enthusiasts alike, the 2023 release has been receiving some very praiseworthy reviews. Even though we could take the word of others about this years release, it's always more fun to find out for ourselves! Join us this week as we reflect on the third annual Mashup Halloween extravaganza, tease a recent barrel pick that we went on, and also celebrate the birthday of one of our own. But, most importantly of all, you will get to hear our take on this coveted bottle of bourbon.

Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr. is known as the father of the modern day bourbon industry. Not only is he a central figure in creation of what we now know and love as the Buffalo Trace Distillery, but he was also instrumental in the passing of the Bottled-in-Bond Act and even served as Mayor of Frankfort for 16 years. Though his beloved "EH Taylor" label has been owned by many different distilleries over the years, Sazerac purchased the label in 2009, effectively bringing Taylor home. This week, the guys uncork the once a year release of EH Taylor Barrel Proof Bourbon. This is the 12th release of its kind and clocks in at a whopping 131.1 proof. Will this bourbon be "hot to be hot" or will it delight our senses? In this episode, we reflect on a recent night out on the town in Lexington and also do our best Jerky Boys impression while calling the Sazerac customer service number. It's another laugh filled week and we appreciate you coming along for the ride.

E159 - Colonel E.H. Taylor Barrel Proof Bourbon (Batch 12)

There was a rumor floating around that David Jennings aka Rare Bird 101 was going to be in town for an event at Wild Turkey. We figured it wouldn't hurt to ask if he would be willing to join us for a conversation. We knew it was a long shot, but when he said "yes," we couldn't believe it. So, this week, we present a wide ranging conversation with the unofficial mayor of Wild Turkey, Mr. David Jennings. In the episode, you will hear about his journey is whiskey, his unabashed love for Wild Turkey, and you'll get insider info on everything that went into making Raconteur Rye a reality. On top of all of that, Kenny prepares one of the most epic blinds in Mash Up history. This is the longest episode we've ever released, but it is well worth it. Sit back, grab some Turkey or Raconteur and enjoy!

E158 - A Conversation With David Jennings aka Rare Bird 101

Over the past couple weeks, you've heard us talking about the WoodWork Collective and David Jennings aka Rare Bird 101. What do you get when you mix the palate and bourbon prowess of David Jennings with the good folks over at the WoodWork Collective? Well...it's none other than Raconteur Rye! The recently released, limited edition, straight rye whiskey is a blend of three different/expertly finished types of 95/5 MGP rye: traditional new charred oak, cured toasted oak barrel 48 months (air dried), and finally, a mizunara barrel that once held 16 year old Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey. These three liquids were expertly married to create the inaugural release of Raconteur Rye. But, what does it taste like? You'll have to listen to find out. This week, the guys enlist an AI bot to help with pronunciation of the brand name and laugh their way through another session of serious whiskey conversation.

E157 - Raconteur Rye (Batch #1)

Orphan Barrel whiskeys have been around since 2014. As the story goes, each bottle in this series represents stocks of whiskey that were hidden away and nearly forgotten in the back of rickhouses and distilleries. The newest release in the Orphan Barrel series is Indigo's Hour Straight Bourbon Whiskey. This is a blend of straights from Kentucky and Indiana that is 18 years old and has a mashbill of 68% corn, 28% rye, and 4% malted barley. If you've never had any Orphan Barrel offerings, you'll find this week's discussion rather intriguing. If you have had some of the previous offerings, you'll be delighted to know that we give our take on where we think this one stacks up against some of the older releases. Join us this week as we talk about the rise of nonalcoholic beverages, an overload of Jet's Pizza, and of course this new bourbon whiskey. Oh Yeah!

E156 - Indigo's Hour Straight Bourbon Whiskey

To commemorate the 25th anniversary of acquiring the famed Bernheim Distillery and the Old Fitzgerald brand, Heaven Hill went deep into the "tanks" and bottled a very special bourbon. Distilled in 1999 and aged for 13 years, this VVS (very very special) Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond decanter contains the very juice that Heaven Hill deemed as exceptional all the way back in 2012. It's a modern day dusty of sorts! If you listened to episode 120 (and we highly recommend that you do), you heard us talking what we thought might become of the famed Old Fitzgerald Decanter Series, but none of us saw this release coming. Do we think it's as exceptional as the distillery employees thought more than 10 years ago? How does it compare to other favorites of ours in the series? This episode is full of surprises that you won't want to miss. As always, we give our collective honest opinions of this extremely new and rare release from Heaven Hill.
