Ed Bley didn't let a snowstorm dampen his spirits or his stories about whiskey; he made it through the blizzard to join us for an episode that's as heartwarming as a glass of bourbon by the fire. With laughter and nostalgia, we journey from Ed's origins in the Whiskey Barrel Society to becoming an esteemed figure in the bourbon industry, all while celebrating the connections that whiskey has a way of inspiring. Pour yourself a dram, folks, and get ready to be immersed in tales of hidden bottle hunts, vibrant in-store events, and the comradery that keeps the bourbon community so tightly knit.

As we sipped and savored, Ed and the Scotchy Bourbon Boys divulged the secrets behind the alluring alchemy of barrel selection and blending. With over 80 barrels sampled, it's a labor of love and skill to craft the perfect whiskey blend. Our conversation flowed from the complexities of the aging process to the importance of an eye-catching bottle design, and how the simple act of opening a bottle can start a transformation in flavor. This episode is a treasure trove of inside knowledge, not only on what shapes the whiskey in your glass but also on the realities of the industry's economics.

Rounding off our spirited session, we gave you a sneak peek at the Old Stubborn Rye Bourbon, a creation that's poised to tantalize taste buds and deepen friendships. We took pleasure in sharing our run-ins with bourbon legends and the light-hearted brainstorming of whimsical whiskey names. Every sip brought a story, and every story brought us closer. Remember, it's not just about the bourbon; it's about the moments we cherish and the people we share them with. So here's to good bourbon, great friends, and the memories waiting to be made.
