The Mash Up

As we move closer toward the end of the year, we are tasting and reviewing some heavy hitters. For today's episode, we took our talents to the neighboring state of Tennessee to try the acclaimed Jack Daniel's Taynard Hill Rye release. This single barrel, barrel proof rye release has gotten a bunch of attention this year - but is that attention deserved or simply a bunch of hype. We are here to give you the skinny. We are thankful for our listener David who provided us the bottle for this episode. As always, we don't just taste this whiskey, but we blind it against something else so we can really put it to the test.

Willett surprised everyone recently when they released their first ever budget friendly "purple top." The purple foil that adorns the Willett Family Estate Bourbon is nothing short of legendary, but it also typically carries a hefty price tag. So, when Willett recently released a 4 year old small batch bourbon (with a purple top) at 125 proof and an MSRP just shy of $70, it definitely turned some heads. But, how does it taste? We got to work for this short and blinded this new release against a shelfer that had a similar proof and age. How did it all turn out? Well...you have to listen to find out.

Penelope Bourbon burst on the scene a few years ago. They were so successful that they were purchased by MGP and continue to be a force of a brand, always innovating and creating sought after whiskeys. For this weeks episode, we taste through many different Penelope releases (13 and 10 year estate bourbons, single barrel picks, and Rio). We have one surprise blind to go against the Rio releases. If you ever wanted to know more about Penelope and some of their current releases, this episode is for you. Cheers.

The 14th release of Angel's Envy Cask Strength bourbon has been aged for a cumulative 10 years in new American white oak and port wine barrels. Described as the "pinnacle" of offerings from the brand, this is the first ever age-stated LE and it's bottled at 122.6 proof (ABV 61.3%). Over the years, we've had some excellent offerings from Angel's Envy. Many have been waiting for this one for 10 years, but, is it worth the wait? Join us for this short to find out.

When we returned from New York this past summer, we wondered if we had tasted the best whiskey that the Empire State had to offer. We didn’t have to think very long because two of our dedicated listeners sent us a ton of samples from various New York distilleries. We could have spread them out over multiple episodes, but what’s the fun in that? So here it is - a tour of New York distillers sponsored by our listeners. Cheers!

It seems like just yesterday that we were tasting and reviewing the 100 proof version of Sazerac Rye which "was" the newest permanent edition to the Saz lineup. However, that all changed a couple weeks ago when Sazerac Full Proof Rye made its debut. This new and permanent offering from Buffalo Trace comes in at 125 proof and is said to be comprised of barrels that are aging in some of the best parts of the rickhouses. Join us for this short as we taste and review this new offering. In this episode, Anthony blinds the fellas with another pour that sparks some good discussion. 90, 100, and now 125 proof? What's missing? Maybe the next offering can be at 107 proof and be called "Old Sazerac Antique."

Michter's is known as the "world's most desired whiskey." So on this Black Friday edition of The Mash Up, we taste and review three different limited production whiskeys from the distillery: 10 year old bourbon & rye and barrel strength bourbon. Each year that these products release (because they don't always release annually), they are highly allocated and highly sought after. What starts off as an expose on Michter's, quickly turns to the usual fun and spirited conversation along with many random blinds. We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and we hope you enjoy our take on these Michter's limited production whiskeys.

Faultline Bourbon is adorned with an iconic cracked sidewalk label. The original K&L Faultline Bourbon debuted in 2013 and was very well received. For this short, we dive into the latest release was distilled in 2006 and aged with meticulous attention for nineteen years. Distilled in Indiana, the bourbon that we taste in this episode is barrel number one of four. 19 year old MGP? Sounds too good to be true. Maybe it is. MAYBE! You'll have to listen to find out. Thanks to Tom for the assist on this one.

How many podcasts would review two potential bourbon of the year candidates in one episode? We could have spaced these two bottles out, but that wouldn't have been much fun. Join us this week as we taste and review the 2025 offerings of King of Kentucky and William Heavenhill. We are joined by a special guest and Kenny (in classic Kenny fashion) made us blind these whiskeys along side of other bangers. This was a VERY enjoyable episode to record and we hope you love listening.

Old Cassidy is a brand new premium blend of bourbon from Rare Character. Previously, Old Cassidy had been released as a single barrel product, but this inaugural blend will be an annual release that will showcase the best of the barrels that Rare Character has. Distilled and aged in Kentucky and bottled in Lexington, this release represents a deliberate selection of barrels ranging in age, with 18-year-old Kentucky bourbon as the base of the blend. Each barrel for this blend was chosen for its unique contribution of flavor and character, and the result is rich, complex, and harmonious bourbon worthy of being celebrated. In this short, we give you our honest take on this brand new bottle and also speculate on what barrels we believe may have been blended to create this bourbon.
