The Mash Up

Penelope Bourbon started in 2018 and quickly ascended to a place only few brands could dream of. They built a cult following and had great distribution. After only a few years as a start up whiskey company, they sold to MGP for over 200 million. We've reviewed Penelope products before on the podcast, but we've never had the pleasure of reviewing anything from their coveted Estate Collection. Thanks to a dedicated listener, we had the opportunity. We taste and review this 9 year old private select Bourbon from Penelope and talk about betting apps as well as where our podcast has been and where it's going. Cheers to the weekend!

A whisky voted "worlds best rye" 3 years in a row was virtually unknown to us until Kenny's son started a new business venture. In a strange coincidence, the founding of his company lead to the discovery of this rye. Each batch of Millstone Dutch Single Rye Whisky is meticulously handcrafted using 100% rye mash and aged for a minimum of 100 months in new American oak casks. The distiller claims that the lengthy 11-day fermentation process provides a complexity of flavor that sets this whisky apart. Well, we'll be the judge of that. Join us for this short and we explore a rye whisky that takes us well outside of our comfort zones.

Mississippi bourbon and rye? Really? The answer is yes. For this week, a listener (Walker) was kind enough to send us two single barrel selections from the Crittenden Distillery in Kiln, Mississippi. With roots of the distillery dating all the back to 2016, you could imagine our surprise when we saw two 7 year cask strength products (bourbon and rye) that were distilled, aged, and bottled by this up and coming whiskey producer. in the midst of tasting. and reviewing this whiskey, Steven and Kenny got in a argument about friend chicken and much hilarity ensued. So join us this week if you want to laugh and find out about a small distillery in Mississippi that is putting out some great products. Cheers!

Woodford Reserve is one of the most iconic distilleries in the world. Despite the fact that they have an incredibly consistent set of products that are very popular, we've lamented that most of their whiskeys are 90.4 proof. Well...the newest release in the limited distillery series offerings is the highest proof whiskey that they've ever releaased! Clocking in at 139.4 proof, Woodford Reserve's Chocolate Whisper Redux comes in a 375ml bottle and costs $99.99. But how does it taste? And is it worth the hefty price tag that it carries? Often critical of Woodford products, our short review for this week might surprise you.

March Madness is upon us! A few episodes ago, we tasted and reviewed a bottle of the Club Blue small batch bourbon (Team White). Since that time, we visited Bespoken Spirits to learn more about the process and what goes into these NIL fundraising bourbons. In this episode, we taste and review a bottle of the Club Blue Team Blue Bourbon which is a high rye bourbon whiskey finished with ex-tequila and cherry wood staves. In order to eliminate all preconceived notions, we decided to fresh crack this bottle and blind it against an array of other different bourbons in order to give it the fairest shake possible. None of us had tasted this before blinding it. So what did we blind it against and what did we ultimately think about this more premium Club Blue bottle? You'll have to listen to find out. C'mon Cats!

Hartfield & Co. is the only bourbon distillery to exist in Bourbon County since prohibition. Even though they've been in business for a little over 11 years, Hartfield and Co. recently made a lot of waves in the bourbon community when they released their 9 Year Old Family Reserve Bourbon. With most of the barrels clocking in at over 140 proof, this bourbon sold out instantly and only a handful of groups/store were able to select single barrels of it. Justin's House of Bourbon was one of the stores that selected a single barrel and they recently had a release event for this bottle. After the event concluded, we got to hang with Jeremy Buchanan (CEO/Master Distiller) and Mike Leek (VP of sales) from Hartfield & Co. for an interesting and engaging conversation. If you've ever wondered about Hartfield and Co., then you won't want to miss this episode. You'll get to hear about how this distillery came to be as well as how they approach crafting each of their bourbons. Not only did we taste and comment on the 9 year old family reserve bourbon, but we also tried their pre-prohibition style bourbon as well as their Old Bourbon County brand. As always, we had an excellent time recording with Jeremy and Mike. If you haven't been paying attention to Hartfield and Co., you are definitely going to want to check them out in the future as they are doing some incredible and amazing stuff. This is a wonderful conversation and we hope you enjoy listening about all things Hartfield and Co!

For the fifth time in the history of the podcast, we have a listener sponsored double blind. For this week, our listener and friend (Sanch D from right here in Kentucky) opened up his liquor cabinet and pulled out a double blind that would make Kenny blush. We love blinding on this show and Sanch gave us distillate that ALL came from the same distillery. In addition to the three blind samples that we taste and review, we also talk about March Madness and a bunch of other things going on in our lives. So join us this week as we test our palates with another fan sponsored double blind. Even though we were unable to guess the age of these blinds, the astute listener will notice that we picked up the fact that these all came from the same distillery very early on. Which distillery? You'll have to listen to find out. We had so much fund with this episode and we are thankful for our good buddy, Sanch! Cheers.

We have seen other companies blend bourbon and rye on purpose and some have done it on accident. Knob Creek is one of the latest brands to try their hand at blending a straight bourbon whiskey with a straight rye whiskey. Coming in at 113 proof, we taste and review this blend and provide our thoughts on it. For short a episode, the laughter is palpable. In this short, but action packed effort, Anthony revisits his love for Total Wine and the fellas get the giggles over a specific tasting note associated with the whiskey in our glass. This episode is can't miss stuff : )

EverNorth Spirits Co. was founded by Dan Shook and Sean Paisley about a year ago. While Dan and Sean are best known for their YouTube channel the "Bourbon Junkies," their new venture into sourcing and blending their own whiskey has been very positively received. Back in episode 184, we had a chance to hear a bit about EverNorth straight from Dan and Sean. Definitely give that one a listen if you missed it. Despite the fact that we knew about the brand, we don't have a ton of experience with their products. Thanks to an awesome listener (Adam L.), we got to taste and give our thoughts on three different EverNorth whiskeys. In addition to the standard whiskey related banter, we also give our thoughts on the slowing of the bourbon boom and other things happening in our lives. Should you be paying attention to what the Junkies are doing with EverNorth Spirits up in Michigan? The magic 8 ball says, "signs point to yes."

We've tasted and reviewed a handful of Bulleit products in the past, but for this short, we taste and review their newest whiskey to hit the market. Bulleit Bottled in Bond is a new "very special bottling from the company" which boasted that the liquid comes from the 2017 distilling season. While the bottle does not carry an age statement, we surmise that it is at least 7 years old. But how does it taste and should you be hunting for this bottle? Give a listen to this weeks short to find out.
