On this special holiday episode of The Whiskey Trip, Big Chief sits down with Doc Brown Farm and Distillery founders Amy Brown and Paige Dockweiler for a conversation rooted in family, farming, and true grain to glass distilling. More than distillers, Amy and Paige are stewards of the land, driven by a shared determination to keep small scale farming alive at a time when doing things the right way is harder than ever. The episode opens with Amy and Big Chief sipping on Effie Jewel, a deeply personal release from a January 2021 crop built on a mash bill of 75% Jimmy Red corn, 10% Abruzzi rye, 10% wheat, and 5% barley. Eight barrels were sent to Galveston in July 2024, where the Gulf Coast climate left its mark before returning home in April 2025 for extended aging. Bottled at 101 proof and limited to 1,900 bottles, Effie Jewel will be allocated across Texas, Georgia, and online, with a major direct to consumer release event at DOMA on February 8. From there, the tasting moves to Southern Ember, followed by Day Swigger, which also serves as the base for both the Honey Expression and Hot Honey Expression. These pours highlight what sets Doc Brown apart. The honey and peppers come straight from the farm, just like the grain, reinforcing a farm first mindset where every ingredient has a story and a purpose. Throughout the conversation, Amy and Paige open up about the grit it takes to keep farming viable. They discuss balancing unpredictable weather, rising costs, regulations, and the physical demands of working the land while building a spirits brand rooted in integrity. Their tenacity shows as they talk about preserving heirloom grains, protecting farmland, educating consumers, and proving that farming and distilling can still coexist without compromise. In the second half of the episode, Paige joins Amy and Big Chief to sip on the Salted Caramel Bourbon Cream and Coffee Bourbon Cream. These rich, comforting pours are perfect for a cold holiday morning or a slow day spent relaxing with family. We hope you have enjoyed the ride throughout 2025 on The Whiskey Trip Podcast. From Woodrow, Ms. Viv, and of course Ol' Big Chief, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Pour something good and take the ride.

What if everything you've been told about alcohol and health is wrong—or at least incomplete?In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Laura Catena, a Harvard and Stanford-educated physician and fourth-generation vintner behind Argentina's legendary Catena Zapata. As the driving force behind the 'In Defense of Wine' campaign, Dr. Catena is not here to tell you that wine is a miracle cure—she's here to cut through the noise and present what peer-reviewed science actually says about moderate alcohol consumption.Dr. Catena believes the current conversation around alcohol and health has veered away from accurate science, reduced to oversimplified headlines that ignore nuance. She walks us through two landmark reports—one from the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and another from the American Heart Association—that challenge the prevailing black-and-white narratives. These aren't studies cherry-picked to support the wine industry; they're comprehensive reviews that acknowledge both the potential benefits and real risks of alcohol consumption.In this episode we discover what moderation actually mean? We explore the breaking research on wine and health, but we also zoom out to examine the larger picture: the undeniable dangers of smoking, the rapid rise of weight loss drugs and cannabis, and how industrialization and processed foods have fundamentally reshaped both what we consume and our overall health. Dr. Catena argues that informed decision-making requires understanding the full spectrum of evidence—not just the parts that fit a particular narrative.Whether you're a wine lover, a health enthusiast, or simply someone trying to make sense of conflicting headlines, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective grounded in science, context, and honesty. To find out more about Dr Laura Catena's In Defense of Wine Campaign, you can visit her official website here: In Defense of Wine and watch her informative YouTube video here: Wine & Health by Dr. Laura CatenaResearch Papers and Insights Discussed:NASEM report and the American Heart Association's review.Ozempic Curbs Drinking—So What Does That Mean for the Alcohol Industry? | SevenFifty Daily This episode was brought to life by the exceptional writing of the talented Rachael Mamane, a James Beard-nominated author and culinary researcher.

The "Maltmigos" ride again! Jim and Todd welcome back recurring guests and fellow whiskey lovers, Amsey and Rob, for a long-awaited reunion show. Dubbed "The Revenge of the Maltmigos," this episode strays from the bourbon path to explore a diverse lineup of Irish whiskeys and Scotch whiskies, including a rare and experimental rye from a legendary Islay distillery. The tasting begins with a duo from Two Stacks Irish Whiskey. First up is The First Cut Complex Blend, a unique combination of grain, pot still, and malt whiskeys aged in virgin oak, ex-bourbon, and Oloroso sherry casks. At 86 proof, it surprises the group with a nose that Amsey likens to "freshly opened motor oil" (in a good way) alongside notes of peach, honey, and hay. Next, they sample the Two Stacks Double Barrel Single Grain, a 94% corn and 6% malted barley blend aged in ex-bourbon and finished in Oloroso sherry casks. This 92-proof pour delivers a richer, darker profile with notes of coffee, cold brew, and a savory "fudgy" finish that impresses the table. Moving to Scotland, the group travels to Campbeltown with the Glen Scotia 15-Year-Old. Matured in first-fill bourbon barrels, this 92-proof single malt brings the funk with a nose described as "rubber baby buggy bumpers," iodine, and band-aids—classic Campbeltown markers that evolve into notes of apricot, sea spray, and a buttery texture on the palate. Next is a trip to the Highlands with the Loch Lomond 18-Year-Old. Aged in three types of American oak, this expression offers a "bready" and "crusty" profile with hints of blackberry, peach, and a "whisper of smoke" akin to sweet barbecue or a Dutch oven cobbler cooked over an oak fire. The final pour is a true curiosity: Bruichladdich "The Laddie" Rye. This experimental 7-year-old release from Islay is made with 55% rye and 45% malted barley. Bottled at 100 proof, it defies expectations with a nose of "corn pops" cereal and a palate that balances the spicy kick of rye with the creamy texture of a pot still whiskey. The hosts debate whether it leans more toward a Kentucky rye or something entirely new, picking up notes of clove, leather, and honey. The episode wraps up with the "Winner Winner Chicken Dinner" segment, where the four "Migos" struggle to rank such a varied lineup. Opinions are split, with the Glen Scotia and the Bruichladdich Rye battling for the top spot, proving that there's plenty of room for debate when good friends and great whiskey come together.

Today we're heading West to Nevada with Frey Ranch Bottled-In-Bond Rye — a farm-to-glass whiskey that has completely changed the craft rye game. Known for growing, harvesting, and distilling every grain on their ranch, Frey Ranch has become a cult favorite among rye enthusiasts and whiskey purists.We break down this Bottled-in-Bond rye using our signature Advent scoring system: nose, initial taste, ending notes, collection worthiness, and final rating. We talk about what makes Frey Ranch's grain-to-glass approach unique and how their 100-proof BiB rye compares to major rye labels across the country.If you love rye whiskey, craft distilleries, or authentic American agriculture-driven spirits, this review is for you. Our Whiskey Advent Calendar continues with a new bottle every day until Christmas!

"Beam me up, Toddy!" Jim and Todd embark on a voyage to the final frontier of flavor with an epic tasting of four highly anticipated limited releases from the James B. Beam Distilling Co. In a show packed with Star Trek puns and serious spirits, the hosts explore how Eighth Generation Master Distiller Freddie Noe is pushing the boundaries of the family legacy. The mission begins with Little Book Chapter 9: "None For Granted." This 2025 release is a complex blend of five unique whiskeys, including 11-year-old bourbon, 8-year-old rye, and two distinct 7-year-old bourbons. Clocking in at 121.8 proof, it surprises the hosts with notes of crisp green apple, peanut shells, and a "Payday bar" sweetness that Todd can't get enough of. Next, they reach into the "Sample Safe" for Little Book The Infinite: Edition 2. This multi-generational blend combines 22-year-old bourbon distilled by Booker Noe, 10-year-old from Fred Noe, and 7-year-old from Freddie Noe, along with a portion of the inaugural Edition 1. At 120.8 proof, it delivers a "master class" in balance, offering a creamy mouthfeel laden with vanilla icing, floral notes, and a depth that represents the "whole flavor wheel" in a glass. The journey takes a sharp turn with Booker's The Reserves 2025, a bold 123.3 proof bourbon finished for 11 weeks in ex-El Tesoro Tequila barrels. This unique experiment—a first for Beam—presents a polarizing dry, earthy profile with notes of citrus and savory herbs that the hosts agree would pair perfectly with a sweet-tipped cigar or even a "Bourbon-Rita". Finally, they tackle the oldest expression ever released by the distillery: the Knob Creek 21 Year Old. Bottled at 100 proof, this ultra-aged bourbon defies expectations by avoiding the bitter "oak bomb" trap of previous 15-year releases. Instead, it offers a velvety palate rich with dark cherry, high-cacao chocolate, and a distinct toasted coconut note that leaves the hosts in awe. The episode concludes with a difficult "Winner Winner Chicken Dinner" ranking where two bottles battle for the top spot, followed by a daring "suicide mix" of all four expressions. Plus, stick around for some Thanksgiving talk as Todd shares his plans for a spatchcocked, smoked turkey.

We trace Taylor's fingerprints across bourbon history, from steam‑heated warehouses and Bottled‑in‑Bond standards to the modern lineup that keeps collectors camping in line. Then we put the whiskeys in the glass and let the ratings fly.We start with Small Batch and unpack why it punches above its weight: a vanilla‑forward nose with apricot and cherry cordial, rich legs, and a medium, oak‑tinged finish that nudges for another sip. From there we step into the heavy hitters—Single Barrel precision, Barrel Proof power, and a Straight Rye that swerves minty and bright—and talk about what changes in the glass as proof, grain, and warehouse floors shift.

This week on The Whiskey Trip, Big Chief steps into one of the most impressive private whiskey sanctuaries in Texas, Kevin Hemingway's Hemingway House of Bourbon. Built on passion, hospitality, and a deep love for the spirit, Kevin's space is a living museum of rare bottles, Texas standouts, and stories collected over years of sharing pours with friends. Surrounded by this curated treasure trove, Big Chief and Kevin sit down for a four pour journey that explores the past, present, and future of American whiskey. They open the evening with Milam & Greene Provisions, a new 80 proof blend combining Texas pot still whiskey with Kentucky and Tennessee bourbon. It is light, approachable, and intentionally crafted to welcome new whiskey drinkers while still offering nuance for seasoned palates. Big Chief and Kevin break down how the Texas component adds warmth and character and why this bottle will likely find a permanent place on entry level whiskey shelves. The second pour brings the heat with Wild Turkey Master's Keep Beacon, the 2025 release from the iconic Lawrenceburg distillery. This limited edition blends 16 year and 10 year Kentucky straight bourbons and comes in at a bold 118 proof. With rich oak, leather, seasoned rickhouse funk, caramelized citrus, and a long, classic Wild Turkey finish, Beacon showcases everything fans love about Master's Keep. Kevin and Big Chief reflect on how Beacon fits into the series and why this release is already generating so much anticipation. In the second half, they dive into a Texas standout, 1845 Distillery's Preemption rye based bourbon. Made with Yellow Corn, Elbon Rye, and Malted Barley, this bold whiskey ages for five years before being double oaked in lightly charred and toasted barrels. Bottled at 115.4 proof, it delivers a powerful blend of Texas rye spice, deep sweetness, and toasted barrel richness. Big Chief and Kevin talk about 1845's rising profile and why Preemption represents the next chapter of Texas distilling. To close out the night, they finish with something truly unique, Dark Arts Ripple Rye. This is a Straight Rye Whiskey finished in maple syrup barrels and treated with toasted amburana oak staves. Distilled in Indiana, aged 7.5 years, and bottled at 110.74 proof, this pour brings an otherworldly profile with maple sweetness, rye bite, exotic amburana spice, and a long warming finish unlike anything else on the table. Big Chief and Kevin dig into why Ripple Rye is gaining such a cult following and how finishing techniques like this are pushing modern rye whiskey forward. Throughout the episode, Big Chief and Kevin share stories, compare regions, debate aging philosophies, and celebrate the kind of friendship that forms when great whiskey is poured with intention. Inside Hemingway House of Bourbon, surrounded by its history and heart, this episode reflects everything The Whiskey Trip stands for: community, curiosity, and chasing down the next great pour. Wherever you are listening from, whether it is your truck cab, a back porch, or the bar top of your favorite local, this one invites you to slow down, sip deep, and enjoy the ride. Take the Ride with Big Chief.

We rate a “Candied Apple” pick, share cocktail ideas, and trace the path from frontier stills to Bottled‑in‑Bond and Prohibition.• Makers Mark Private Select program and stave choices• Our “Picked In The Dark” blend story and goals• Live tasting and scoring of “Candied Apple”• Caramel vs apple spice palate debate• Cocktail ideas for apple‑cinnamon profiles• Early American distilling and frontier barter• Whiskey taxation and the Whiskey Rebellion• Bottled‑in‑Bond standards and consumer trust• Prohibition, medicinal licenses and speakeasies• Farming, Dust Bowl and economic fallout links• Part two teaser on post‑Prohibition to modern bourbonSubscribe on Apple, Spotify and YouTube, become a member, and leave good feedbackRain hammered the windows, the power went out, and we had a barrel to pick. So we moved to a sunlit tasting room at Maker's Mark and built a Private Select by feel, flashlight, and a lot of palate trust—then named it “Picked In The Dark.” That's the energy we bring to this episode: a hands-on exploration of stave choices, blend strategy, and why nine weeks of finishing can turn a beloved wheated bourbon into something entirely its own.We break down the five stave types and how they shape flavor—sweetness, tannin, chocolate tones, and spice—before opening a “Candied Apple” Private Select that split the room. Expect baked apple on the nose, cinnamon warmth, a bold body, and a finish that lingers. We score it live, argue caramel versus apple spice, and spin off cocktail ideas that make the profile shine: think hot toddy or apple‑cider highball with star anise and maple.Then we widen the lens. Whiskey wasn't just a drink in early America; it was logistics, currency, and tax policy. We trace the arc from colonial rye and corn distilling to the Whiskey Rebellion, the Bottled‑in‑Bond Act's quality revolution, and the messy economics of Prohibition—medicinal permits, speakeasies, soil depletion, and the rise of organized crime. The through line is clear: from stave science to statecraft, bourbon tells the story of how the country built roads, funded wars, and developed taste.If you're curious about Maker's Mark Private Select, love a good tasting debate, or want the real history behind the glass, you'll feel right at home.

Todd also details new releases from Chicken Cock and Town Branch, Buffalo Trace's 9 millionth barrel milestone, and the bombshell news that Kirin is exploring the sale of the Four Roses distillery. The segment features a deep dive into the 2025 Buffalo Trace Antique Collection (BTAC), highlighting the new 15-year-old Colonel E.H. Taylor Bottled in Bond and a formidable 142.8-proof George T. Stagg. The first tasting of the day is the Remus Master Distiller Experimental Series Number One from MGP. This 9-year-old, 107-proof bourbon was aged in lightly charred and heavily toasted Seguin Moreau barrels made from staves seasoned outdoors for 24 months. Todd finds a big vanilla nose with a "wine funkiness," fig, and dark baking spices. The palate proves "soft and velvety" with notes of toasted marshmallow, chocolate, a hint of red wine, and a sweet, spicy finish of candied pecan and allspice. For the second half, Todd unearths a true gem for history nerds: a complete reading of a 1909 essay by none other than Colonel E.H. Taylor Jr., titled "The Rule of the Regions." Discovered in the University of Kentucky archives, the essay provides a fascinating look into the mind of the bourbon pioneer. Taylor boldly declares Kentucky bourbon superior to Scotch and Irish whiskeys, attributing this to the "Rule of the Regions"—specifically, the paramount importance of Kentucky's unique limestone water. He discusses the industry's massive (for 1909) $180 million value, the evolution from primitive wooden stills to scientific copper distillation, and the superiority of Kentucky's dry, ascending-proof aging methods. Most notably, he champions the Bottled-in-Bond Act as the ultimate guarantee of quality and authenticity, a protection he notes that Scotland and Ireland unfortunately lack. To accompany this historic reading, Todd tastes the Oaklore Story Series Number 2, an Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish 4 Grain Bourbon. Hailing from Matthews, North Carolina, this 95-proof blend of 5-to-6-year-old bourbons (70% corn, 10% rye, 10% wheat, 10% malted barley) is finished for 12-18 months in sherry casks. The whiskey shows a ruby tinge and offers a nose of raisin, wine, caramel, and vanilla. The soft palate features notes of black cherry, cocoa, sherry-driven nuttiness, and sweet dark fruits.

Bottled at barrel strength, the 2025 Limited Edition Small Batch is built around two standout 13-year-old V batches, delivering luscious notes of apricot, vanilla, and caramel. The addition of a bold 19-year-old OESV and OBSK brings layers of antique oak, rye, and depth for a truly balanced and complex profile.

Join Jim and Todd in the "ghastly" Bourbon Road bar for a special Halloween episode filled with tricks, treats, and plenty of spirits! Instead of candy, their trick-or-treat bag is filled with five unique whiskey expressions shared by friends and sourced from local stops. It's a spooky season showdown as they taste through a diverse and high-proof lineup. First, they unlock Widow Jane The Vaults 2025. This year's release is dubbed "mythological," featuring bourbon aged a minimum of 15 years and finished in unique oak casks crafted from trees harvested near Amphilochia, Greece – a region known for lightning strikes. Bottled at 99 proof, the hosts find notes of grape, salted caramel, toffee, and a unique salinity on the nose, while the palate delivers complexity that drinks its age and punches above its proof. Next, they revisit Barrel Craft Spirits with their 12-Year French Oak Finish. A blend sourced from Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, and Wyoming, and bottled at 108.5 proof, this whiskey presents a bit of a "Jekyll and Hyde." The nose offers burnt caramel, nutty, and woody notes, while the palate surprises with creamy French vanilla sweetness and just a hint of tannin from the oak. The third pour is the Bardstown Bourbon Company Maison Ferrand Finish #2. This complex blend features Kentucky bourbons aged 9, 11, and 12 years, plus a 6-year Bardstown rye whiskey, all finished for 15 months in French oak cognac casks. At 111.8 proof, it delivers an intensely decadent, desserty palate rich with black cherry, vanilla, and dark fruit syrup notes like currant or raisin, contrasting slightly with its dusty oak and grape nose. Pour number four brings gasps of excitement: the Wild Turkey Master's Keep "Beacon". Rumored to be the final release in the venerated Master's Keep series, this 118-proof bourbon immediately impresses the hosts. They find the quintessential "Turkey funk" alongside deep notes of toffee, burnt orange citrus, cherry, molasses, clove, tobacco, and perfectly integrated oak. It's described as viscous, complex, and potentially the "perfect Turkey," taking their breath away. Finally, they tackle the first-ever Woodford Reserve Barrel Proof Rye. This barely-legal rye (53% rye) comes in at a hefty 125.1 proof. The nose reminds them of Corn Pops cereal with hints of rye spice, pepper, and mint. The palate delivers on the grain-forward notes, showcasing the rye character with cereal, clove, and a touch of leather, defining itself as a solid Kentucky-style rye. Jim and Todd wrap up the episode by comparing the five "treats" and selecting their top three favorites in their "winner winner chicken dinner" segment, capping off a hauntingly good tasting session.

If you've been to their distillery in Louisville or read one of their bottles you have probably encountered the claim that that Old Forester was "the first bottled Bourbon." The story suggests that in 1870, a former pharmaceutical rep George Garvin Brown began placing whiskey in sealed bottles and putting his signature on them to show he stood behind the safety and quality of the whiskey. It's a great story. But is it true? Join me in this pilot episode of a potential new Whiskey Lore series, as I dig through old newspapers and archives to seek out the deeper story of who George Garvin Brown was, more about this fine spirit known as Old Forester, and how much of the story is truth and how much of it is lore. And if you enjoy this kind of deep-dive whiskey investigation and want to help this independent podcaster bring more episodes like it to life, join the Whiskey Lore Speakeasy at patreon.com/whiskeylore It is time to disrupt some whiskey history!

Send us a textEver wondered if a $12.99 bottle could deliver the experience of a premium regional wine? Our latest deep dive proves that exceptional wine doesn't always come with an exceptional price tag.The Willamette Valley has earned its reputation as one of the world's finest Pinot Noir regions, with bottles typically starting at $25 and quickly climbing past $40. That's what makes Aldi's Specially Selected Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2024 such a fascinating discovery. At just $12.99, this wine challenges everything we assume about price and quality in the wine world.Bottled by Precept Wine (the largest independently owned wine company in the Northwest), this Pinot showcases the classic transparency and garnet hue that aficionados look for. But it's the complexity that truly surprises - dried leaves, herbal notes, pencil shavings, black cherry, and cranberry create that quintessential Pinot Noir profile that makes you pause between sips. The mouthfeel balances smoothness with just enough spicy edge to keep things interesting. As one well-regarded online review site noted with its 94-point score: "Buy it, that's all there is to it."The current wine industry downturn (with sales down roughly 10%) has created a silver lining for consumers. Excess inventory and production means premium wines are finding their way to market under store labels at fraction of typical costs. For Pinot lovers or anyone curious about what makes Willamette Valley special, this bottle offers an authentic experience without the premium price tag. It's not "dumbed down" for mass appeal - it's a genuine example of what makes Oregon Pinot Noir special. Try it with your next meal or simply on its own, and discover what happens when great wine regions meet great value. Have you found any exceptional wine bargains lately? We'd love to hear about your discoveries!Check us out at www.cheapwinefinder.comor email us at podcast@cheapwinefinder.com

Hong Kong was once the undisputed capital of fine wine auctions—a magnet for rare bottles, record prices, and global collectors. Now, the market is shifting. Tastes are changing, investment habits are evolving, and the city's role in the world of wine is being redefined. What does that mean for collectors, investors, and anyone who cares about what's in the glass?Our guest is Charles Curtis, Master of Wine Founder of WineAlpha, where he provides advice on varied topics of interest to wine collectors and the trade. As the former Head of Wine for Christie's in both Asia and the Americas, he brings a rare, global perspective. From his path—from Moët Hennessy in the U.S. to Hong Kong in 2008—offers a front-row view of the region's rise and recalibration. We'll talk about how buying patterns have shifted in Hong Kong, and why Hong Kong's resilience endures.Charles is also one of the foremost voices on Champagne and Burgundy. His first book, The Original Grand Crus of Burgundy, was released in 2014, and the second, Vintage Champagne 1899 – 2019 in 2020. In 2024 he authored the chapter ‘Appraising Fine Wine and Spirits' in the book Appraising: The Definitive Guide' from the Appraisers Association of America, and his forthcoming book, An Atlas of the Côte des Blancs (with cartographer Steve De Long), will appear later this year. He is a board member of the Appraiser's Association of America, and since 2020 has been the Burgundy correspondent for Decanter magazine and a contributor to other publications.And stay with us for a quick lightning round: Charles's favorite Champagne vintage, his take on decanting, and the one Asian dish he can't resist pairing with a great bottle.Follow the journey on Instagram @curtismwMore information on Charles and his latest books: https://curtismw.com/index.html Since 2016, Bottled in China brings you into the food and drink scene through conversations with the some of the most happening personalities.

While baijiu is celebrated as China's national spirit and wine is steadily gaining popularity, yellow wine—known locally as Huangjiu—constitutes less than 2% of the country's total alcoholic beverage market. Nevertheless, it holds a distinctive place in Chinese drinking culture.With a history spanning over 2,500 years, Huangjiu is among the world's oldest alcoholic drinks, yet it remains relatively obscure outside of China. Today, Simon Zhou, founder of Ruby Red Fine Wine, is here to share the story of Huangjiu. Recognized as one of Forbes China's most admired figures in the food and beverage sector, Simon started with a two-person operation, which has since expanded to a team of over 160 by 2024. Ruby Red Wine Group now operates multiple offices both in China and internationally, representing more than 300 global brands, from fine wines to premium sake. Its clientele includes leading hospitality venues, specialty distributors, and passionate wine collectors.In 2022, Simon launched Vintry France, a négociant business in Beaune, France. The following year, he invested in a boutique winery in northeast China and co-founded a rice wine production base in Shaoxing. By 2024, he had also overseen the launch of Domaine 41, a modern wine retail venture in Shanghai. Beyond his business endeavors, Simon actively educates others about wine, engaging over 60,000 followers across various social media platforms. He is now focusing some of his efforts on Huangjiu, and in this episode, we'll explore this intriguing beverage that has graced imperial courts, complemented seasonal delicacies, and is now resonating with contemporary consumers.Connect with Simon Zhou at www.rubyred.com.cn Since 2016, Bottled in China brings you into the food and drink scene through conversations with the some of the most happening personalities.

The journey begins with Old Fitzgerald 7-Year Bottled-in-Bond, a wheated bourbon that brings smooth, sweet character in a classically elegant package. Bottled at 100 proof and adorned in its signature decanter, this release blends honey bread, soft spice, and subtle floral notes into a quintessential Old Fitz profile—refined and balanced. Next up is Old Grand-Dad 7-Year Bottled-in-Bond, a high-rye, Jim Beam-distilled bruiser that still manages charm. It delivers nutty sweetness, hints of citrus, and that signature Beam peanut brittle note—plus a surprise touch of green banana. Priced under $40, it's a contender for one of the best bottled-in-bond bargains of the year. Then the pour turns dark—literally—with Old Forester Extra Extra Old, part of their 117 Series. A richer, more oak-saturated version of the beloved 1910, this double-barreled bourbon lingers longer in its second barrel, extracting deep color and complexity. Expect chocolate-dipped molasses cookies, toasted oak, and syrupy texture in this 375ml limited release. The fourth pour steps up the age and elegance with Heaven Hill Heritage Collection 12-Year Bourbon, a 100-proof statement of mature Kentucky whiskey. Layered with vanilla bean, antique oak, dried fruit, and a velvety finish, it stands as a confident reminder of why Heaven Hill remains a pillar of the bourbon world. Finally, a bonus pour closes out the show: Star Hill Farm Wheat Whiskey—a unique take from the producers of Maker's Mark. Aged in honeycomb-textured barrels and bottled at 110.6 proof, this wheater leans toward chocolate malt, sweetbread, and baking spice. It's rich, bold, and distinctively modern, showing the experimental future of wheated whiskey. Throughout the episode, Jim and Todd offer sharp tasting notes, honest reflections, and plenty of bourbon banter. Whether you're a fan of heritage brands or curious about experimental expressions, this Roadies' Choice episode delivers a five-pour journey through the evolving landscape of American whiskey.

In this region-spanning tasting session, The Bourbon Road hosts Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter guide listeners through four American whiskeys that each bring something unique to the table. From the high plains of Wyoming to the oak-rich rickhouses of Kentucky and the bold, sun-soaked warehouses of Texas, this episode offers a full-flavored exploration of how place and process shape the final pour. First up is Buffalo Bill Cody Straight Bourbon from Wyoming Whiskey—a 6-year-old, 97-proof bourbon blended from 26 barrels. Distilled with 100% Wyoming-grown grain in Kirby, this expression honors a frontier legend with bold notes of cherry, leather, exotic spice, and sweet cream. Jim and Todd both agree it's a standout example of what regional distilling can deliver—complex, approachable, and full of character. The second pour shifts eastward to RD1's Sister Cities, a blend of 5- and 7-year-old Kentucky bourbons with an 8-year-old rye, finished using French oak “necklaces” and Japanese Mizunara staves. Bottled at 102 proof, the whiskey opens with a bright, tart fruit nose—orange zest, raisin bran, and cherries—then develops into warm layers of milk chocolate, spice, and drying oak. The result is a richly nuanced pour that pays homage to Lexington's international connections with refinement and flair. In the second half, the hosts feature two expressions from Milam & Greene's “The Answer” line—each identical in distillate but aged in different states. The Kentucky-aged version delivers a more traditional bourbon profile, showcasing smooth oak integration, brown sugar, and baking spice. Meanwhile, the Texas-aged version leans bolder and darker, shaped by the state's intense climate with notes of charred wood, molasses, and earth. Side-by-side, these two pours demonstrate how dramatically aging environment alone can influence a whiskey's flavor, texture, and personality. Throughout the episode, Jim and Todd offer their signature banter, detailed tasting notes, and honest reflections on what makes each pour special. Whether it's a frontier homage, an internationally inspired blend, or an experiment in terroir through aging, every whiskey in this lineup tells a compelling story. This is American whiskey at its best—diverse, regional, and endlessly expressive.
