The Mash Up

In January of this year, Old Forester brought back the "extra old" 117 series offering. This is the second time this style of bourbon has released since the start of the 117 series. Essentially, this bourbon is similar to Old Forester 1910 which is one of our favorites. The key differentiating factor is the time the bourbon rests in a secondary toasted oak cask. 1910 is aged for 7-9 month and "extra old" is aged in the secondary cask for up to 18 months. The result? Give us a listen to find out.

Helllllloooo and Happy Friday! In this episode, we crack and review an almost 12 year old, 135 proof MGP rye whiskey which was selected by Minnesota Whiskey Elite and bottled by Subtle Spirits. Subtle Spirits is an newer NDP that is taking the community by storm. Inspired by art, Subtle Spirits strives to deliver unique experiences with whiskey. This was our first experience with the brand so you'll have to listen to what we think. Also, we want to extend a hearty thanks to Matthew E. for providing us with this bottle. We have the best listeners. We glad you are joining us for the whiskey talk, but this episode is loaded with laughs. Cheers, y'all!

This short episode focuses on a bourbon that burst onto the scene a little over a year ago and was dubbed as a "Stagg Killer." With that kind of characterization, we have to taste it. Smokeye Hill Barrel Proof Bourbon has been the darling of award contests and fans alike -- but is all the hype warranted? Maybe...you'll have to listen to find out. For the first time in Mash Up Podcast history, we have a special introduction from a celebrity chef. You're gonna want to listen to this episode and tell your friends about it.

For this Friday episode, we have two sets of blinds - one sponsored by a family member and the other sponsored by a listener. Our listener and friend (Charlie from Ohio) and Kenny's brother Shaun sent us a few blinds and definitely had some tricks up their sleeves. We have so much fun in these episodes and we hope that you enjoy them too. In addition to blinding, we also talk about the experience that we recently had at Wild Turkey for the reintroduction of the 8 year 101 bourbon. So join us this week as we test our palates with another sponsored double blind and share in some good laughter. Cheers.

Bardstown Bourbon Company did something extremely innovative when they decided to blend some premium ultra aged bourbon and then rest it in barrels made of 300 year old french oak (for 14 months!). The result? The taste? Well, you'll just have to listen to find out. In this episode, we will tell you what we think of this "first of it's kind" bottle and also let you know if this is worth chasing, especially at the high prices it commands on the enthusiast markets (that don't exist). Special thanks to our friend Jason from Arsenic Culture for providing this bottle and for joining us for this weeks short.

Jack Daniel's has put out some ultra premium in recent years. Just when you thought it couldn't get any more premium, they recently released a 14-Year-Old Tennessee Whiskey clocking in at a massive 126.3 proof. You have to go all the way back to the early 1900s to find a release from Jack Daniel's that is this old. Many enthusiasts are dubbing this as an early favorite for whiskey of the year. But what do we think of it? You'll have to listen to find out. As always, there is spirited conversations, blinds, and a familiar female co-host. Thank you for listening and let us know what you think of the JD 14 year.

David Jennings aka Rare Bird 101 is back again! Talking turkey? Nope. This time around, David joins us to talk about his new whiskey company Washington Lafayette Revolutionary Spirits and the very first releases from the brand which are Caleb's Crossing Bourbon & Rye. These whiskeys will be exclusively available on Bourbonoutfitter.com on April 4th. But, what do they taste like? Perhaps more importantly, what is the story behind these bottles? Caleb's Crossing Bourbon is a blend of 6 and 7 year old straight whiskeys that is dual cask finished in Pineau des Charentes and Armagnac Casks and slow proofed to perfection. Caleb's Crossing Rye starts off as an 8 year 95/5 rye whiskey and is also finished in Pineau casks. Both of these whiskeys taste as unique as the story behind them. David takes the time to explain the painstaking process he went through to craft these whiskeys and delves further into the family story that made it all possible. While we have plenty of fun in this episode and talk a little Turkey and Raconteur, the majority of this fascinating conversation is focused on Caleb's Crossing and what David has in store for the future. We promise you will want to listen all the way to "the finish."

Just this week, we were invited to the Wild Turkey Distillery to partake in the reintroduction of the famed 101 proof bourbon with an 8 year age statement as a permanent offering in US market. Being part of this event meant that we got some face time with Bruce Russell who is a third generation whiskey maker with the brand. If you want to know what Wild Turkey 101 with an 8 year age statement means to Bruce and his family, you won't want to miss this episode. Wild Turkey 101 in this form is something we'd never thought we'd see again. Well...here it is...in it's purest form...as described by Bruce Russell.

The cats are taking the court this evening to take on Tennessee in the Sweet 16. As excited as we are about the prospects of the Cats making the Elite 8, we are equally as excited about the new bottle we have to review this week. Thirteenth Colony Distilleries recently released their 113 Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished With Maple Wood Spirals to much acclaim. Although Thirteenth Colony has been around for quite a long time, they’ve skyrocketed in popularity over the past few years due to their double oaked bourbon releases. So how does this new Maple Finished bourbon taste? You’’ll have to listen to find out and we guarantee you will be surprised with our take. This week we are joined by our good friend Jason Hale from Arsenic Culture for this tasting and conversational masterpiece. The bourbon conversation is great, but the talk about 1-900 numbers, March Madness, and parkas is even better.

Back in episode 84, we tasted and reviewed the 6 year old version of Smooth Ambler Founders' Cask Strength Bourbon. This was a brand new offering of their own distillate from a brand who built their reputation on MGP. Fast forward two years and that distillate has now turned 8 years old! For this weeks short, we revisit another batch of this bourbon which is now a little older and has a bit more proof. On the first go around, we game this a try, try, buy. What will the verdict be this time around...you'll have to listen to find out.
