The Mash Up

It is 7:45 AM...do you know where your children are?  Why yes, they are back to school!  Ahh, back to a quiet house.  The three of us found it very difficult to get together this week due to the back to school chaos.  However, I put this PSA episode out for your weekly enjoyment.  Thanks for the continued support!

From the international land to the north comes an old purple bag we are all familiar with but is very different. Coming to us this week is a bottle of Crown Royal Noble Collection 13 year Bourbon Mash. How does this gateway whiskey really differ from the bottle we all know? Helping out with this pour, we talk about Pappygate, 2018 bottle trends and fighting moose.

Some like a low rye. Some like a high rye. Others like a barrel strength rye. This week we open a bottle of Michter’s Barrel Strength Rye. Does a mixture of rye spice and high proof play well together? Do classic bourbon notes come through in a rye? Our conversation spills over to Halloween trick-or-treat bars, pronunciations and is there a good overall year for bourbons?

Winter is coming. If you could bottle the holiday season, then this is your bottle. Traveling south this week is a bottle of Watershed Bottled in Bond bourbon. How does this craft bourbon stack up? What does the different Ohio weather climate bring to the bourbon table? To help round out this wreath are char levels, liquor stores NOT gouging and 1980’s country music.

We made it to episode 25! This week we take a look back at our journey to get to this point. We also look at the road traveled by this weeks bourbon. This week, our around the world selection, is a bottle of Blanton’s Gold bourbon. How does the Gold status differ from the regular bottle? Is it worth the hype? To help fill time we talk about all the different variations of Blanton’s, does Buffalo Trace have a hidden Blanton’s warehouse and is it time they update the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection (BTAC)?

While eagles might be a rare sight, this bourbon use to be easy to find. Nowadays, it is only seen through allocations and store picks. This week we uncork a bottle of Eagle Rare (ER) store pick bourbon. From its wine shaped bottle to its classic notes, we re-explore this gateway bourbon. We also talk about this bottles age statement conspiracy, BT mash bill #1 and a very stingy Christmas gifter!

It was only a matter of time before we would have to review this bourbon. After months and months of commenting on all of their store picks, we finally put it in the hot seat. With this weeks selection, we sampled a non-store pick bottle of Knob Creek Small Batch 12 year bourbon. Do the fellas have to eat their own words? This has the making of a crazy episode. Filling out the commentary are white dog science projects, experimental bourbon lines and one loud AF snoring dog.
