In this Episode, Alex is BACK...FINALLY! We are also joined by Darren Peck & Michael Sergeant of Morris Australian Single Malt. Which we have to say is absolutely AMAZING! This is a really fun episode about a brand you are going to want to know more about!Established in 1859, the Morris family winery is one of the most acclaimed fortified producers in the world.Craftsmanship in blending, ageing and creating world-class fortified wine has been passed down through six generations of the family, allowing MORRIS to truly master the creation of extraordinary flavour in Australian single malt whisky.The unique and distinctive MORRIS whisky flavour comes from unrivalled access to fortified wine barrels for finishing the whisky, barrels which have held the world's most highly awarded fortified wines.  In 2016, the distillery was built around the original copper still built in the 1930's and installed at the Morris winery in 1941.Today, we combine decades of tradition, our heritage still and ancient fortified casks with contemporary techniques to create a whisky that is a true expression of time and place.Check out our sponsors!The Bourbon Ball - The second annual Bourbon Ball benefiting Folds Of Honor will take place June30th & July 1st at Castle & Key and The Kentucky Castle. The Castle  & Key Event will be June 30th from 5:30-8:30 at Castle & Key Distillery. Castle & Key will be doing  an exclusive VIP tour and behind-the-scenes bourbon tasting with Brett Connors, Head Blender and Whiskey Wizard, and Murray Harwich, Guest Experience Assistant Manager and E.H.

In this episode of Bourbon With Friends. Paul & Connor are in Vail Colorado at 10th Mountain Whiskey doing a barrel pick for the Bourbon Ball benefiting Folds Of Honor. 10th Mountain Whiskey donated a barrel of their rye for the ball and we had an incredible time visiting the team!The patriotic men of the 10th brought diversity, courage, and hope to the Rocky Mountains when they arrived in the 1940s to train just a few miles south of what is now Vail.  They were part of the greatest generation of men, wanting to make each day count and each day better than the last.  The mentality they had was strong after being shaped from the rigors of mountain warfare, their egos humble.Camp Hale, the legendary home of the 10th Mountain Division, was constructed in 1942, located 22 miles west of Vail between Leadville and Minturn in the Pando Valley. The initial population of Camp Hale included 15,000 soldiers, 3,000 administrative, medical, and other non-skiing staff, 5,000 mules, and 200 dogs.In January of 1945, the 10th deployed to Italy's Apennines Mountains, where they would battle the German army for the next two and a half months. On May 2, 1945, Germany surrendered to the Allies in Florence, Italy, ending the 10th's Italian Campaign.After World War 2, many of the 10th Mountain Division warriors came home to the USA and continued skiing. The 10th Mountain Division veterans started many of the US ski areas we now love. At least 62 ski resorts have been founded and managed by former 10th Mountain Division veterans.The tradition of excellence established by the original 10th Mountain Division continues with today's 10th Mountain Division Light Infantry (LI). Now based at Ft. Drum in Watertown, New York, the 10th Mountain Division LI has the distinction of being the most deployed military unit when a humanitarian, natural disaster, or conflict arises in the world.The 10th Mountain Whiskey and Spirit Company is an extension of the mountain lifestyle, bringing together the old with the new. Generation after generation, men and women alike, all share this same passion, enjoying it for a day, a weekend, a lifetime, or somewhere in between. No matter how long it's embraced the combination of friends, mountains, memories, and spirits, brings people together like no other.To encourage these relationships, to embrace the mountain lifestyle, and to honor the 10th Mountain soldiers who inspired our way of life, we created a tribute spirit company in Vail Colorado. Not only is it a tribute to the 10th Mountain soldier, but it is also a tribute to those that enjoy the mountain lifestyle, living it fully, every day.Check out our sponsors!The Bourbon Ball - The second annual Bourbon Ball benefiting Folds Of Honor will take place June30th & July 1st at Castle & Key and The Kentucky Castle. The Castle  & Key Event will be June 30th from 5:30-8:30 at Castle & Key Distillery. Castle & Key will be doing  an exclusive VIP tour and behind-the-scenes bourbon tasting with Brett Connors, Head Blender and Whiskey Wizard, and Murray Harwich, Guest Experience Assistant Manager and E.H.

In this episode. Paul & Connor are in Colorado Springs doing a barrel pick with Distillery 291. We are joined by are friends Matt and Bryan as well as Emily and Eric with Distillery 291. Forgive us friends, we had about 10-12 barrel proof pours before we did the show. :)291 Colorado Whiskey is a globally acclaimed, small batch whiskey nestled in the shadow of Pikes Peak. Located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Michael Myers, a former New York City fashion and beauty photographer, with a love of whiskey and passion for the old west, aims to replicate the taste, smell and folklore of that time, to create a one of a kind, bold and beautiful, Colorado Whiskey.Myers, no stranger to whiskey or the West, set out to create a flagship whiskey that evoked the Wild West. He grew up on rural family farms in Georgia and Tennessee, across a countryside defined by rolling hills, horses, Jack Daniels and George Dickel. For decades since then, he carried with him an iconic vision of walking into an old west bar, saying “give me a whiskey”, and the bartender slamming down a bottle– that bottle would be 291 Colorado Whiskey.Check out our sponsors!The Bourbon Ball - The second annual Bourbon Ball benefiting Folds Of Honor will take place June30th & July 1st at Castle & Key and The Kentucky Castle. The Castle  & Key Event will be June 30th from 5:30-8:30 at Castle & Key Distillery. Castle & Key will be doing  an exclusive VIP tour and behind-the-scenes bourbon tasting with Brett Connors, Head Blender and Whiskey Wizard, and Murray Harwich, Guest Experience Assistant Manager and E.H.
