The Mash Up

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?!?!

The fellas open a bottle of an Old Forester Single Barrel Pick (OFSiB SP) from the Bourbon and Beyond Festival.  We discover what this annual event is as well as a tasting from one of several featured barrel pick bottles.  Along with bottle tasting, they talk about rickhouse floors, old condiments and local bourbon groups go crazy.

The gang tries a bottle of Elijah Craig Small Batch (EC) for the first time.  They praise it and disagree about it at the same time.  What.  A.  Mess.  Things turn to explaining store picks, the son of bourbon? and exotic tasting notes.
