Bernheim Barrel Proof Wheat Whiskey is newest edition to Heaven Hill's barrel proof series, joining Larceny and Elijah Craig. This new offering is between 7-9 years old and clocks in at a hefty 118.8 proof. Similar to it's other barrel proof counterparts, this wheated barrel proof offering is set to be released three times a year. Will the love fest for Heaven Hill continue? Or will the fellas decide that this wheated whiskey might need a little more time in the barrel? You'll have to give us a listen this week to find out. Other things we discusss are bourbon related things in Midway, KY, Y2K, and how many Heaven Hill labels have come and gone in favor of more premium offerings. It's Friday - time for the best bourbon conversation you're gonna hear all week long.

Heaven Hill recently announced that Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Bourbon would no longer carry a 12 year age statement. Instead, each batch will have a variable age statement which can be higher or lower than 12 years depending on which barrels make up each batch. This news upset a lot of whiskey geeks, especially since Heaven Hill has become famous for dropping/reinventing age statements over the past few years. Even though we reviewed ECBP in a previous episode (34), we felt it necessary to review the newest batch (B523) since it is the first to carry a sub 12 year age statement. Will we like this as much as previous batches or will we feel cheated? The conversation this week isn't just about bourbon - it's about burgers, video games, and much more!

The Railbird Music Festival in Lexington, Kentucky debuted in 2019 and has quickly become one of the most anticipated annual events for lovers of music and bourbon alike. After some hiccups and extremely hot weather in 2022 left concert goers bewildered, this years version of Railbird looks like it could be the best yet. For this week, we got our hands on one of the many single barrel picks that will be available exclusively at this year's festival compliments of the good folks at Justin's House of Bourbon. The Penelope Architect bourbon series features different mashbills and a variety of french oak finishing options. You'll get to hear about how this Railbird pick of Penelope Architect came to be from one of the people who helped select it. Even though the original mashers are still on hiatus, Kenny and Caleb are back along with Anthony to talk about a variety of topics including what you can expect at this year's festival and what we think of this Penelope pick. Happy Railbird weekend!

When it comes to bourbon whiskey - there are so many things to explore which is why we love bourbon so much. This week, we taste and review a relatively new offering from Buffalo Trace which is a Kosher Wheat Recipe Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Partnering with the Chicago Rabbinical Society, this whiskey debuted in 2020 as one of the first mainstream Kosher Whiskey offerings. Each barrel of Kosher Wheat Recipe bourbon is Kosher designated and satisfies Passover requirements including being sold under witness from the cRc. You don't want to miss this week as we welcome a new voice to the table and have some fun talking about parking lot pours, what it means to be a buffalo trace tater, and how little we know about Kosher whiskey. Don't forget to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts and definitely let us know what you think of this bottle in the comment section on Instagram. Throughout the weekend, keep it neat.

You spoke and we listened! This week, we have another action packed episode that involves malted whiskey! Founded in 2021 by Pablo Moix and Peter Nevenglosky, Rare Character Whiskey Company has bottled some unique and rare whiskeys, building a cult like following in the process. In this episode, we taste and review !4! different Kentucky Straight Malt Whiskeys from Rare Character's "Exceptional Series." Even though this style of whiskey is one that is relatively unknown by traditional bourbon drinkers, we think you'll be paying a lot of attention to it in the future. Because we decided to review four different whiskeys for this week, there wasn't a lot of time for small talk -- but we did manage to converse about the liquor aisle at Target and some other fun topics like the Rare Character Clubhouse. Will we like this Kentucky Straight Malt Whiskey as much as our beloved bourbon and rye? You'll have to listen to find out.

Old Louisville Whiskey Co. is a family owned business that strives to deliver premium whiskies to ALL. The husband and wife duo, Amine and Beth Karaoud, are self-proclaimed “whiskey aficionados'' and they have spent the last few years building a whiskey brand that honors both the rich history of the Old Louisville neighborhood as well as the long-standing tradition of Kentucky bourbon making. Old Louisville offers an array of unique whiskies. The one that we review this week is a single barrel pick from a very unusual MGP mashbill (51% corn / 49% malt). This week, Anthony is joined by a special guest host who was mentioned many episodes ago for chugging bourbon in a liquor store. We hope that you will listen along as we go through our standard shout outs, tasting notes, and other lively topics. You'll get to hear a first hand account of how this particular barrel of whiskey was selected from Old Louisville and what we think about it. Spoiler alert: You're gonna want to pay very close attention to what Old Louisville is doing in the future. Cheers!

Have you missed us? We've missed you. After the long delay, we are back at it again - well, sort of. This week, Anthony sips and reviews a Straight Bourbon Whiskey finished in Madeira casks from Rare Character that was selected by a pick group called "Mythical." This episode departs from the usual and there are two new guest hosts who have a lot to say about Kentucky, animals, the value of bourbon, and what they like to drink. We won't ruin the surprise for you. You'll have to listen to find out what Anthony thinks of his two new guest hosts and this bourbon.
