TWiB: Jim Beam Has New Visitor Experiences, Widow Jane Releases Baby Jane, Angel's Envy Cask Strength Bottled in Bond

The barrel is where the magic happens and it takes years for your whiskey to achieve it's optimal flavor. Most of us are familiar with the standard american white oak barrel with a char 4. Yet, there are hundreds, if not, thousands of combinations that go into creating a barrel from the wood species, stave seasoning, char, toasting and how it ages based on location in a geography or a floor in a warehouse. There's one guy that does all this research and that's Andrew Wiehebrink from Independent Stave. This is his third time on the show and this time he brings different aging experiments for us to taste through. We taste the same whiskey from different levels of a warehouse and even the same american single malt aged in texas and scotland. We also dive into the state of the barrel shortage, our shared distain of amburana, the shift to char 1, and what new innovations are coming from the barrel and oak alternative market.  
  Show Notes:
Above the Char with Fred Minnick (@fredminnick) talks about will today's bottles be a new dusty.

Why does Kentucky have more extraction than Texas?
What does elevation from levels on a warehouse do to the aging process?
How often do you revisit experiments?

What did the location differences for American Single Malt experiments make?
Has the barrel shortage been resolved?
Do you research the human element and what consumers are looking for in taste?
What do you think of Amburana and exotic wood species?

TWiB: New Bourbon Auction Record Has Been Set, Chicken Cock's New Home Called Circa 1856, Green River Launches Full Proof

Most of us scoff at celebrity whiskey because let's be honest, most celebrities don't care as much about the product as they do sales. But on a past whiskey quickie we reviewed Whiskey JYPSI and that one changed our mind. It wasn't until we started diving into it that we discovered Ari Sussman. He's a whiskey maker for many brands like Whiskey JYPSI, Three Chord, and Mammoth Distilling, but his history with spirits will fascinate you. He's truly a student of the art where he spent years overseas bartending, discovered vintage cocktail books, and was an integral part of the first ever university distilling program at Michigan State. We talk to Ari about his past and then dive into the Whiskey JYPSI brand and how Eric Church and himself are trying to change the face of celebrity booze. 
  Show Notes:
Above the Char with Fred Minnick (@fredminnick) talks about finding better bourbon in the Netherlands.
How did you get to this point in your career?
What old school cocktails and liqueurs fascinated you?
Were you trying to use the University of Michigan distilling program to innovate new things?
Can you talk about blending 50ml bottles?
What brands did you help build?
Why would a company want to ghost blend?
How did you get hooked up with Whiskey JYPSI?
Why is this celebrity brand different than others?
How have you added in Canadian whiskey and light whiskey into a blend?
What do you feel is more innovative in world whiskey that's not happening in American whiskey?
Why are you trying to be different in this celebrity world?
Why JYPSI?
