Barry's Batch, named for former Beam chairman and CEO Barry Berish, celebrates a man who guided the company for over 40 years until his passing earlier this year.This exceptional batch delivers everything bourbon enthusiasts seek in a premium barrel-strength release. At 125.7 proof, you might expect an aggressive heat, but Barry's Batch surprises with remarkable approachability. The nose immediately captivates with rich caramel aromas complemented by hints of peanut butter and vanilla that promise a memorable tasting experience.The flavor journey begins with honey sweetness on the tongue, developing into luscious caramel mid-palate before revealing warming cinnamon and allspice notes. What truly distinguishes this batch is its perfect balance – delivering full-bodied intensity without overwhelming the palate. Following Booker's philosophy of drinking bourbon "any damn way you please," we explored it neat, with a few drops of water (which amplified delightful peanut butter fudge notes), and over ice (bringing forward subtle graham cracker flavors).Aged 7 years, 2 months, and 4 days, this release demonstrates the meticulous barrel selection process that has become a hallmark of the Booker's brand. The blend incorporates barrels from five different warehouse locations, creating a complexity that tells the story of Kentucky's unpredictable aging environment. Each sip offers a window into why Booker's remains one of the most sought-after limited releases in American whiskey.Whether you're a longtime Booker's enthusiast or new to barrel-strength bourbon, Barry's Batch represents a fitting tribute to both its namesake and the enduring legacy of the Beam family. Pour yourself a glass, raise it to Barry, and discover why this bourbon scored an impressive 15/18 on our scale.

I love hearing stories of ambitious folks moving up in a company - and Victoria Russell is the perfect example. Starting as a marketing analyst at Papa John's, Victoria worked there for over 15 years eventually landing up at the top as their Chief of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. And she continues to make strides now working as Beam Suntory's first Chief D&I Officer. Victoria has so much to share, everything from walking into a big PR controversy to stepping into a new organization and learning what they are really about. Her career has been so wide-spanning, and I learned so many insights about the exodus in DEI. Even cooler, Victoria shares her reflective experience with a recent mini-sabbatical - so cool.

Do you want to learn about Scotch whisky, tartans and kilts? Well, in this episode, host Reg Ferguson is invited by Simon Brooking from Beam Suntory to indulge in a conversational journey through the world of Scotch and Scottish fashion at New York's Copper and Oak.

Simon is also quite the storyteller (I think it's a cultural thing). When it comes to fashion, wait till you hear them talking about tartans and kilts. No spoilers.

The Ice Man, Erik Eastman, is back as Libation for Everyone's first three-peat guest. More like Erik THREESTMAN, amirite? Easy is a longtime listener favorite. His appearances on the program are never short on insightfulness, deep dives, or hot quotes ("it's your mouth" is perhaps LFE's most frequently referenced guest quote), and this convo is no exception. Erik shared highballs with the boys, featuring several select Beam Suntory whiskeys, and tells all about what's icy this winter, including new info on the world's largest ice bar in Minneapolis, and a heck of a lot more, including these topics:

Adam, Joanna, and Zach react to the news that Gruppo Campari will be purchasing Courvoisier from Beam Suntory for $1.32 billion. Does this mean that the recent dip in Cognac sales is just a a blip on the radar? Will this allow Campari to take on Hennessy in the American market? And why do we need to be very careful when analyzing sales data from 2020-2022?

The whiskey that we taste and review this week started out as an 8-year old Kentucky bourbon and then traveled to Japan for finishing in wine, sherry, and ex-yamazaki casks. Woooo! That's a voyage that even Jefferson's would be jealous of. This limited release collaboration from Beam Suntory is the first of it's kind -- but, is it any good? You'll have to listen to find out. Join us this week as we talk about gas station sushi and try to figure out who the other dude is. Also, you'll get to hear a story about how one of us was mistaken for a comedic icon. We are always happy to share our Friday with you!

Thanks, and enjoy the show!Intro: I know I have said it before, but Beam Suntory is one of my favorite companies in the whiskey world and yet again, they did not disappoint with their latest release of Basil Hayden! Body:May of last year, Fred Noe announced that he was naming his son, Freddie Noe as master distillerWhich makes him the 8th generation master distiller in the beam familyFreddie is known for his creation of the Little Book series, which is my all time favorite seriesYou could understand my excitement when I heard that he was the master behind the latest release.Crafted in 1992 by Booker Noe as part of the Small Batch collection, Basil Hayden introduced a more subtle side of bourbon compared to its counterparts.Named after the late Master Distiller Basil Hayden Sr.The thing that excites me the most about this bottle is who was responsible for it. Freddie Noe might be one of the first master distillers, who I would consider to be a master blender first. I wonder if they are tight lipped on what red wine was used because there were multiple types? Little book is blended by percentages of different whiskies so, with how perfectly blended and well rounded this bottle is, why couldn't this be blended similarly with different percentages of basil hayden finished in different wine casks?I think that naming freddie noe might prove to be a game changer in the whiskey world. I think we should expect to see some mind blowing releases from Beam Suntory Support the showWebsite:www.whiskeychaserspod.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/whiskeychaserspodcastInsta:https://www.instagram.com/whiskeychaserspodcast/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@whiskeychaserspodcastThanks For Listening!

At one time, Campbeltown was Scotland's whisky capital with more than 35 distilleries. That number dwindled to just three over the years, but now, planning approval is being sought for up to three new distilleries. The latest project is the Witchburn Distillery to be built on the former RAF Macrihanish site, and we'll talk with project manager and master distiller Andrew Nairn on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. We'll also hear from Beam Suntory's Daryl Haldane following the auction Friday of a one-of-a-kind Bowmore single malt to raise money for projects on Islay.

The Kennesaw Police Department is investigating an alleged assault against a man near the Kennesaw State University campus. The incident happened in the West 22 apartment complex, located where Cherokee Street and McCollum Parkway meet, just after midnight on January 22, according to Officer David Buchanan, Kennesaw Police spokesman. Jalique Rosemond, who is Black, alleged he was beaten by two white men who repeatedly called him the N-word, according to a report about the incident issued by Officer Seager, who responded to the call. Seager's report added that Rosemond had a bloody nose, a detail also included in a report from another Kennesaw police officer who responded to the scene. Buchanan said in the release that a detective has been in touch with Rosemond since Tuesday, adding that the suspects in the case left the complex following the alleged assault. Police are asking residents with any information about the incident to call Kennesaw Police Criminal Investigations Division or Crime Stoppers. An ethics complaint has been filed against Commissioner Jerica Richardson over an alleged conflict of interest in the county's ongoing redistricting controversy. Filed Monday by Debbie Fisher, who is listed as vice chairman of Party and Grassroots Development on the Cobb Republican Party's website, the complaint accuses Richardson of violating county rules in voting twice last year to support the county's home rule redistricting effort, which is aimed at redrawing the commission district boundaries to keep Richardson in office. Filed with the Cobb Board of Ethics, the complaint asks for a judge to void those two votes by Richardson. Doing so would leave the split of the vote on the home rule effort at 2-2 between the board's Democrats and Republicans. The complaint takes aim at a political group — For Which It Stance — which was created last year by Richardson and east Cobb's Mindy Seger to support her bid to keep her seat. Richardson's interest in the group means she not only had a personal conflict of interest in the redistricting votes, Fisher alleges, but a financial one as well. For Which It Stance was formed in March 2022, about five weeks after the Republican-sponsored district map which drew Richardson out of her seat was filed in the General Assembly. Richardson is listed as the nonprofit's registered agent, while Seger is its executive director. Since the Board of Commissioners' three Democrats began their home rule effort in the fall, the group has called on residents to support Richardson, solicited donations on its website, and is selling branded merchandise (T-shirts, tote bags and the like). And on October 11 and 25, when the Board of Commissioners took its two votes to assert home rule and redraw the lines, audience members bore signs from the nonprofit. The allegations around For Which It Stance were previously raised by Republican Commissioner Keli Gambrill, who said Richardson should have disclosed the nonprofit when the board met in executive session last year to discuss the home rule challenge. In the past, Richardson has said that she did not need to disclose the nonprofit, and that Gambrill should have been aware of it. Marietta's LiveSafe Resources has announced its 2023 honorees for the group's 38th Tribute to Women of Achievement. Each year, the organization honors 15 women leaders, nominated by their peers, who demonstrate outstanding leadership in their personal, professional and volunteer endeavors. These 15 outstanding women from the metro Atlanta area were recently chosen through a competitive application process, and one of them will also be named “2023 Woman of the Year” at the Tribute to Achievement awards gala on March 17. This year's honorees include women at the top of their game in Cobb's business, nonprofit, and government worlds. For a full list of honorees, please visit MDJ Online dot com.

Scoot Henderson became the Kell boys basketball team's all-time leading scorer, led it to the Class AAAAAA state championship game and wowed most basketball experts in the process. Henderson's constant success was one of the reasons he made the unprecedented move two years ago to reclassify, graduate early and become the youngest professional basketball player in U.S. history at the age of 17. Now, after nearly two years in the NBA's developmental G League and making himself into the presumptive Number 2 pick in this summer's NBA draft, Henderson will be recognized by Kell for his trailblazing efforts and effect on its program. The school will retire Henderson's Number 0 jersey in a ceremony between Kell's girls and boys basketball games against Chattahoochee on Tuesday. Kell boys coach Jermaine Sellers said the timing worked out where the Longhorns had a home game and Henderson's team, the Las Vegas-based G League Ignite, had a nine-day break to allow him time to return home. It will be particularly special evening for the Henderson family, with Scoot not be the only sibling having their jersey retired. During the same ceremony, his sister, Crystal, will also be honored with the retirement of her Number 30. Crystal Henderson, who supplanted her brother as the all-time leading scorer in Kell basketball history — boys or girls — has led the Longhorns to a 15-5 overall record and 8-0 mark in Region six five A. Kell is Number 1 in Class five A, coming off a game against Cambridge in which she had 37 points and 13 rebounds. The retirement ceremony is expected to be at approximately 7:15 p.m. Tuesday, following the completion of the girls game. Sellers said the NBA and the G League asked to be involved in the evening, so the College Park Skyhawks — the Atlanta Hawks' affiliate — will be represented. Its dance team will perform at halftime of the girls game, and there will be shirt giveaways. In its quest to build a looping transit and trail network around Cobb's bustling commercial district, the Cumberland Community Improvement District is shaking every funding tree it can find. The CID's governing board agreed Thursday to ante up about $1.7 million in the hopes of securing a lucrative federal grant to advance the project, known as the Cumberland Sweep. If successful, the U.S. Department of Transportation would provide about $7 million toward planning and design of the Sweep which includes a self-driving shuttle, to circle the commercial district. The DOT's RAISE program — formerly known as BUILD and TIGER under past federal administrations — is expected to dole out nearly $2.3 billion this coming year for transportation and infrastructure projects. But the winners are an exclusive club; no more than a few dozen projects are greenlit nationwide each year. In recent years, only a handful of projects in Georgia have received funding. CID Executive Director Kim Menefee said this will be the third time the organization has sought the grant. Menefee said she's been in talks with Cobb's federal lawmakers about backing the application, who have already directed some funding to the Sweep in the form of congressional earmarks and submitted letters of support for the grant application. #CobbCounty #Georgia #LocalNews      -            -            -            -            -            The Marietta Daily Journal Podcast is local news for Marietta, Kennesaw, Smyrna, and all of Cobb County.             Subscribe today, so you don't miss an episode! MDJOnline            Register Here for your essential digital news.            https://www.chattahoocheetech.edu/  https://cuofga.org/ https://www.esogrepair.com/ https://www.drakerealty.com/           Find additional episodes of the MDJ Podcast here.             This Podcast was produced and published for the Marietta Daily Journal and MDJ Online by BG Ad Group   For more information be sure to visit https://www.bgpodcastnetwork.com        See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
