Send us Fan MailWe sit down with Danny Polise from Penelope Bourbon to trace how a three-barrel experiment turns into a national brand built on obsessive blending and real boots-on-the-ground hustle. We dig into how sourcing, warehouse knowledge, and smart scaling shape flavor, then taste through new and upcoming bottles while talking festivals, charity blends, and what the next decade of bourbon could look like. • the early Penelope bet at MGP and why three mash bills mattered • learning blending through repetition rather than formal training • selling in the early days and building a label that stands out • the crossroads of distilling vs scaling and the MGP acquisition • how tanker-scale batching improves consistency for core products • light whiskey explained, why used barrels matter, hunting profiles by warehouse • estate collection breakdown, single barrels, private select, Omega French oak finish • naming sessions, gimmicks that still have a reason, and dream collaborations • the F Cancer charity project and the annual blend-off format • bourbon festivals, cigar blend talk, and what bottles to bring to KBF • first tastes and details on the upcoming Penelope Classic bourbon and rye www.scotchyburbonboys.com for all things Scotchy Bourbon Boys, contact me directly or just buy it off the website. Whether you listen to us, like, or watch us, make sure that you leave good feedback, become a member, subscribe, do all those fun things, and drink responsibly, don't drink and drive They walked into MGP like they were about to buy a million barrels and walked out with three. That's the true starting point of Penelope Bourbon, and it sets the tone for a conversation that's equal parts origin story, blending masterclass, and behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to build a whiskey brand that actually tastes different.We're joined by Danny Polise talk about how Penelope uses blending to escape the “standard sourced bourbon” profile by combining mash bills, chasing specific notes, and putting in the unglamorous reps. Danny breaks down how his process evolved from week-long blend marathons with endless iterations to a faster, sharper approach powered by tasting memory, barrel surveys, warehouse differences, and a constantly growing flavor encyclopedia. If you care about bourbon tasting notes, batch consistency, and how professionals decide what makes it into a bottle, you'll hear the logic in real time.Then we get into the big business inflection point: scaling. Danny explains why the MGP acquisition helped Penelope grow without losing its identity, how tanker-scale batching can improve consistency for flagship pours, and why small-batch releases still matter when you want precision. We also dig into light whiskey, the Estate Collection, Omega's French oak finish, the F Cancer charity blend-off, festival plans, cigar blend talk, and a first look at the upcoming Penelope Classic Series with a 92-proof bourbon and a surprisingly bright 92-proof rye.If you enjoy bourbon podcast deep dives, Penelope Bourbon details, MGP sourcing transparency, and practical blending insight, hit subscribe, share this with a whiskey friend, and leave us a review.

Send us Fan MailWe sit down with Mark Carter to talk about how Old Carter stays unmistakable batch after batch, from chewy caramel depth to that long, silky finish. We get into the real work behind very small blends, the Social Club experience, and why we chase “delicious” over age statements and hype. • tasting through recent Old Carter releases and why bottles can open up over time • what the Old Carter Social Club is and how lockers, appointments, and tastings work • how Mark builds tiny blends and uses a blind tasting panel to choose winners • double barreling with brand new barrels and how char levels shape flavor • distilling history since 2017 and why keeping barrels “straight” matters • mash bill range from high corn to rye and why older rye drinks better • bourbon community culture, whiskey versus wine logistics, and lessons from both worlds go to uh oldcarterwhiskeyco.com let's do the www.scotchybourbonboys.com for all things scotchy bourbon boys Caramel you can chew, a finish that won't quit, and a blender who treats barrels like instruments in a band. We're joined by Mark Carter of Old Carter Whiskey to unpack how his team keeps a bold, recognizable profile across small batch bourbon, very small batch drops, and club only releases without watering anything down.We talk through the Old Carter Social Club and why the membership model changes everything: tiny two barrel blends, 375ml formats that actually make sense for ultra limited whiskey, lockers, and tasting appointments that feel like a shared night with friends who care about the details. Mark explains how a blend earns the label, how his blind tasting panel makes final calls, and why “delicious” beats chasing proof or age for its own sake.Then we go full nerd on double barreling done the hard way, meaning brand new oak barrels, multiple coopers, and char levels that help dial in viscosity, aromatics, and that signature toffee and caramel depth. We also get into mash bills, from high corn sweetness to older 95/5 rye, plus the real world “neck pour” debate and what shipping, heat, and oxygen can do to a bottle.If you love barrel proof bourbon, blending talk, and behind the scenes whiskey decisions, hit play, subscribe, share this with your bourbon group, and leave a review with the Old Carter batch you'd pour for a friend.

Send a textWe chart Alan Bishop's leap from an established distillery to Old Homestead, how he rebuilt his stills, and why he's doubling down on experiential spirits. We taste and unpack Wickliffe Bell at 139.2 proof—peat-smoked oats, smoked apples, clean cuts, and a rest that polishes without erasing character.• Reinvention after French Lick and owning the build at Old Homestead• Pot still aging limits and why barrel babysitting matters• Labels that free creativity: whiskey from a bourbon mash• Making uncommon whiskey for common people as a guiding idea• The Old Homestead campus and “Alcohol Acres” destination• Wild Newton Stewart yeast capture and sense of place• Wycliffe Bell process, thumpers, peat, apples, and cask strength• Water, highballs, and choose-your-proof tasting• Upcoming Rise & Shine trio and barrel-rested sunshines• New absinthe and gin releases, plus where to find Alan's workThe best spirits don't just taste like a place—they tell you its story. We sit down with Alan Bishop for his record-setting return to talk about leaving a legacy brand, hand-building a new distillery at Old Homestead, and charting a bolder future where labels serve flavor, not the other way around. If you've ever wondered how a distiller reinvents without losing soul, this is a masterclass in making uncommon whiskey for common people.Alan opens up about the real arc of starting over: the existential first year, the stubborn stills, and the moment the “house character” finally reveals itself. He explains why pot still whiskey has a sweet spot, how to babysit barrels so wood doesn't swallow grain, and why he's transparent about using “whiskey distilled from a bourbon mash” to unlock honest flexibility—used oak, varied entry proofs, and subtle pre-distillation botanicals—while telling drinkers exactly what's in the glass.Then we dive into Wickliffe Bell, a cask-strength Black Forest Spirit at 139.2 proof that drinks shockingly gentle. Oats malted by Sugar Creek are peat-smoked with Irish turf, apples are smoked and loaded into a thumper, and the cut is clean like a white distillate before a short rest in new oak. The result is apple-oat warmth, soft phenolics that read like hickory-kissed smoke, and a choose-your-own-proof journey that blooms with a splash of water or lifts in a smoky highball. It's not bourbon. It's not scotch. It's a place in a bottle.We also map the broader canvas: Bartels & Bishop hitting distribution, limited Old Homestead bourbon kept intentionally scarce, the Rise & Shine trio (citrus, jasmine-chamomile, hickory bark) riding the thumpers, and a new absinthe that merges Old World method with New World botanicals. Along the way, Alan talks underdog grit, storytelling as craft, and building “Alcohol Acres”—a lakeside destination that pairs serious spirits with a weekend worth remembering.If you care about flavor, place, and where American whiskey goes next, press play.

There are a few places that I just keep going back to. Today we are chatting with Alastair over at Boulder Spirits. We chatted about everything from the early years to why malt has such complexity. Such a good conversation, hope you enjoy.Boulderspirits.comPatreon.com/offtopicwhiskeyBadmotivatorbarrels.com/shop/?aff=3https://www.instagram.com/zsmithwhiskeyandmixology?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==THE MISSIONBarley, yeast, water, oak, and the pursuit of happiness. These make up the foundation of what we here at Boulder Spirits stand on. We're a small Colorado whiskey company with big dreams, bigger goals, and the biggest pot still in the state. We're here to make our best versions of American Single Malt Whiskeys, Bourbons, and Gins that our team can. We hope you can find us in your future, whether by visiting the distillery for a tour and tasting, or seeing our products at your favorite spirits retailers and finer whiskey serving establishments.THE MOVEMENTUnbeknownst to Alastair during his pursuit of whiskey, an entire movement was abrew. Since the day we filled our first freshly charred, virgin American Oak barrel with malt whiskey to the day that we filled our first bottle, the American Single Malt Whiskey category was born. Around the country, as well as the world, the taste for American Whiskey has grown. The thirst for Bourbon stays strong, but this country is great at many things, and innovation is absolutely one of our greatest. This innovative mindset shared by distillers in every corner of this country has created an entirely new set of flavors to explore; these flavors all begin with one common source: 100% malted barley. Currently, there are over 130 distilleries that have ventured into the American Single Malt Whiskey realm, each with as different of an approach to creating whiskey from each other as the next. Single malt whisky is made in many, many countries around the world, but only the United States utilizes the virgin American Oak as a standard. We believe that is the truest defining characteristic of American whiskey.We take traditions from Al's homeland, along with American ingenuity to find a balance that creates award winning whiskeys: distillers malted barley, a Scottish pot still, #3 char American White Oak barrels, aged in an arid, high elevation climate, and cut with the celebrated Eldorado Springs water. This is our American Single Malt.American Single Malt WhiskeyA forthright representation of a traditional pot distilled malt whiskeycombined with American aging techniques. Using 100% imported malted barley andlong fermentation and distillation times, our whiskey is rich with flavor before beingaged in freshly charred American Oak barrels for a minimum of 3 years.Profile:Clean, bright, round whiskey with citrus notes and a wonderful balance of oak and barley. Whiskey for the daytime, or anytime.100% Malted barley, 100% virgin American white oak, 100% American Single Malt92 Proof / 46% Alc. By Vol.Straight Bourbon Whiskey Bottled in BondThe Bottled In Bond Act of 1897 was written to ensure the consumer was informed thecontents of that bottle were of quality standards and made in compliance with industrystandards. In modern times, this ensures the consumer knows three major things: It's at least 4years of age and all the whiskey is harvested from the same season, it is bottled at exactly 100proof, and perhaps most importantly, the labeling states where it's made and who bottled thewhiskey inside.Profile:Oatmeal cookie, candied ginger, and allspice. Aged 4 years and bottled at 100 proof.We're proud to have a whiskey that joins the hallmark tradition of quality American whiskey designation: Bottled In Bond100 Proof / 50% Alc. By Vol.

Episode 113: Sazerac Rye Full Proof www.watchhillproper.com
Jim and Todd welcome back a familiar face to the Bourbon Road: Drew Hannush, the host of the Whiskey Lore podcast and author of the massive new travel compendium, Experiencing American Whiskey . With the 2026 edition of his book hot off the press, Drew joins the hosts to discuss the monumental task of documenting over 1,000 distilleries across all 50 states . From the historic roots of Kentucky to the surprising whiskey scenes in states like New York and North Dakota, Drew shares stories from the road and tips for planning the ultimate whiskey adventure In the second half of the show, the trio dives into a "virtual road trip" tasting, sampling three distinct craft whiskeys from across the country. Todd kicks things off with a pour from Michigan: New Holland's "Walleye Run" Malted Rye Whiskey. This barrel pick, selected by friend of the show Dusty Dan, surprises the group with delightful notes of "grilled peaches" and a unique fruit-forward profile that defies typical rye expectations. Next, Drew introduces a true curiosity from Virginia: Malarkey Distilling's "Smokehouse" Whiskey. This experimental spirit is finished with wood staves that were smoked alongside pounds of bacon, resulting in a savory, meaty profile that Drew likens to a "bacon-smoky Tootsie Roll" . It's a polarizing but fascinating pour that proves there's always something new to discover in American whiskey. Finally, Jim heads west to Nevada for a sip of Frey Ranch Estate Grown Straight Rye Whiskey. Known for their "ground-to-glass" operation, Frey Ranch delivers a robust 100% rye mash bill that showcases the terroir of the high desert with classic spice and a rich mouthfeel. Throughout the episode, Drew offers insights into the shifting landscape of craft whiskey, highlighting how states like New York and Ohio are becoming major players . He also shares a fun travel tip for those visiting their 50th state: the "Save the Best for Last" club in Fargo, North Dakota . Tune in for a globetrotting conversation that will inspire your next distillery road trip!

Send us a textWe map how the American whiskey market cools from a frenzy to a focused, data-driven industry and why that's a win for drinkers. More barrels, smarter releases, and price corrections point to a year of better access and stronger value.• bourbon boom meeting reality in 2026• production ramps, tech upgrades, and inventory management• allocations easing and core labels returning to shelves• drink less, drink better mindset shaping demand• price fatigue, SRP resets, and secondary dynamics• aging strategies, finishes, and blending creativity• exports, tariffs, and domestic shelf competition• what smart forecasting means for future releases• why availability and value improve for drinkersGo and leave us a five-star review, write a reviewWant to know if the bourbon boom is ending or just evolving? We dig into the 2026 American whiskey outlook with straight talk on supply, demand, and what really determines whether a bottle sits on the shelf or vanishes on drop day. After years of aggressive expansion, major distilleries are moving from growth-at-all-costs to smart inventory management, strategic pauses, and tech-driven consistency. That shift, paired with a more selective “drink less, drink better” audience, is reshaping pricing, releases, and how brands earn trust beyond the hype.We break down the big forces at work: millions of barrels finally maturing into wider availability, the return of core labels to shelves, and why allocations feel different when production catches up. Expect more thoughtful age-stated expressions, creative finishes that add depth rather than noise, and fewer shortcuts as producers compete on substance. We also unpack tariffs and exports, the tug-of-war between on-premise and retail, and the real metrics distillers use—velocity, demographics, and inflation—to plan what you'll be able to buy two, five, and ten years from now.For drinkers, the news is encouraging. Less artificial scarcity, more stable pricing on everyday winners, and a richer lineup of older and better-crafted releases mean you can skip the frenzy and focus on flavor. Whether you chase unicorns or value sleepers, the next chapter favors curiosity, patience, and honest drinking.

A new year is here, and Eat Drink Smoke does it the only way that makes sense — by waiting until the calendar actually turns. In this episode, Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy reveal their Top Three Bourbons of the Year, based not on hype or releases, but on everything they actually reviewed on the show in 2025. No Top 10 lists. No arguments about rankings. Just the bottles that stayed with them. Fingers lays out his value-driven list, keeping every pick under $50, including: Kirkland Bottled-in-Bond from Costco 2XO American Oak And his top pick: Redwood Empire Emerald Giant Rye Tony counters with a memory-based list that ignores price entirely, featuring: Espy House George 1794 Keeper’s Heart Irish & American Whiskey (110 proof) And a surprise number one that isn’t a bourbon or a rye: Bacoo 12-Year Rum Along the way, they discuss: Why 2025 was a strange year for bourbon How palate changes affect what sticks with you The difference between “good” and “memorable” Why value still matters — even when it doesn’t And whether calling it “Bourbons of the Year” still makes sense They’re also smoking the Oliva Master Blends 3 Churchill, breaking down flavor, strength, construction, and pairing as the conversation moves from reflection to anticipation.

This is a Vintage Selection from 2007The BanterThe Guys discuss food psychology. When it comes to the containers used for fruit juice to M&Ms, size matters.The ConversationThe Restaurant Guys talk with Eric Asimov, wine and spirits writer for the New York Times, about rye whiskey. He details its history, resurgence and highlights some of the excellent choices on the market at the time. You won't believe the 2007 prices! They also bring awareness to counterfeit wines and how some places are selling more old Bordeaux than was ever made. The Inside TrackThe Guys and Eric talk of a great use for rye–in cocktails.“Rye is a whiskey with a very different sensation from a smooth sweet-ish bourbon. It's much more jangly and it comes alive in your mouth. If you've had Szechuan peppercorns in a Chinese dish, and you get that dancing feeling on the tongue, that's precisely what you get with rye,” Eric Asimov on The Restaurant Guys Podcast 2007InfoEric Asimovhttps://www.nytimes.com/by/eric-asimovEnjoy over-decorated restaurants with Christmas cocktails through January 3, 2026https://www.catherinelombardi.com/Check out New Year's Eve in New Brunswick, NJhttps://www.newbrunswicknewyearseve.com/ Become a Restaurant Guys' Regular!https://www.buzzsprout.com/2401692/subscribeMagyar Bankhttps://www.magbank.com/Withum Accounting https://www.withum.com/restaurantOur Places Stage Left Steakhttps://www.stageleft.com/ Catherine Lombardi Restauranthttps://www.catherinelombardi.com/ Stage Left Wineshophttps://www.stageleftwineshop.com/ To hear more about food, wine and the finer things in life:https://www.instagram.com/restaurantguyspodcast/https://www.facebook.com/restaurantguysReach Out to The Guys!TheGuys@restaurantguyspodcast.com**Become a Restaurant Guys Regular and get two bonus episodes per month, bonus content and Regulars Only events.**Click Below!https://www.buzzsprout.com/2401692/subscribe
