The fellas regroup after returning from hot off the beach from spring break 2k21. We open a bottle of Four Roses Small Batch Select (FRSMS). Can this first new offer from Four Roses in several years capture our hearts? Can too many bourbon recipes be a bad thing? The group has several updates, the Clyde May's style? and an awkward moment during recording.

What has sun, surf and seltzer waters?  The answer is Michael on spring break.  We did not have time to get together before he left.  I am hopeful he will come back with good bourbon finds and stories to tell.  Stay tuned for next week.

Who said a four year old could not have character?  We tackle a bottle of New Riff Bottled in Bond Bourbon (New Riff BiB) in this edition.  This entry level bottle in the New Riff line up sure made us rethink a four year old bourbon.  From its mature notes to its long finish; we were all very surprised.  Pairing with the discussion, we talk about RTD (ready to drink) cans, Anthony the mixologist & kids and their vaping.

Happy tenth episode anniversary!  There is only one way to celebrate our tenth episode and that is with a ten year bourbon.  The gents crack open a bottle of Old Rip Van Winkle (ORVW) Bourbon.  Does the prestige of this bourbon line live up to its hype?  Can all three of us agree on this selection?  While sippin' we talk about golf adventures, barrel picks and craft bourbon distilleries.  Come celebrate with us!

The fellas uncork a bottle of Wordford Reserve Rye (WR Rye). This bottle is a fine example of the care WR takes in creating a newer profile for their line up. Good vibes are evident from the bottles first sip to almost the last sip. Along for the ride are adventures in running, a maximum age for ryes and Michael had two points.

Mayday, Mayday, Mayday; The Mash Up’s inaugural bourbon tasting flight is coming in HOT!! The crew puts three offerings from the Heaven Hill (HH) namesake to a head-to-head-to-head comparison; HH 6 year green label, HH 6 year white label Bottled-in-Bond (BiB) and HH 7 year BiB. Who will be crowned the best and worst in show? Filling the cargo are budget bourbons, the new bottle lottery system and upcoming Chick-Fil-A changes.

Mother Nature - 1; The Mash Up - 0.  We were unable to get together this week due to a hat trick of winter storms.  We will see you all next week!

The gentlemen crack open a bottle of 1792 Small Batch.  The namesake of this selection was the year of Kentucky's statehood.  Does this bourbon hold up in a crowded field?  Aside from the notes, they tackle the spice aisle, drunk cows and old ladies shooting Fireball?!?!
