Most whiskey companies start with a still.Root Shoot started with a farm.In this episode of Whiskey Rocks, Joel and Chris sit down with Heyward Gualandi and fifth-generation farmer Todd Olander to explore one of the most unique stories in American whiskey. Instead of building a distillery and sourcing grain, Root Shoot flipped the traditional model on its head…growing, harvesting, and malting their own grain before partnering with distilleries best suited to bring their vision to life.Along the way, they discuss the importance of grain, the rise of American Single Malt, regenerative farming, terroir in whiskey, and why owning the supply chain may matter more than owning the still. They also share the story behind Root Shoot's award-winning whiskeys (including some fun bourbons on the way), the patience required to take grain from field to bottle, and the larger mission of helping distillers across the country make better spirits.Plus, Joel and Chris taste and review Root Shoot's Bottled in Bond American Single Malt and Homestead High Proof Series, compare them to classic rock albums, and put their guests through the Whiskey Rocks Lightning Round.Pour a dram, turn up the music, and discover why at Root Shoot, the story begins long before the barrel.Whiskey Rocks.

We dig into history, ingredients, proof, and technique, then land on what we'd actually buy again and what we'd rather fix with our own bitters and syrup. • why the Old Fashioned stays the gold standard cocktail • whether higher proof RTDs taste closer to a true Old Fashioned • bitters that change everything, especially black walnut bitters • sweeteners that work best, from agave to barrel-aged maple syrup • the Yellowstone ready-to-serve pour and how citrus zest shifts balance • Penelope bottled Old Fashioneds and why the black walnut stands out • Prohibition's influence on muddled fruit and soda habits • the Wisconsin Old Fashioned style and the brandy versus bourbon debate • why barrel-aged Old Fashioneds feel more integrated and smooth • glassware and ice choices that improve texture and dilution • how sugar makes Old Fashioneds hit harder than neat whiskey • the bacon fat washed Old Fashioned build and why it works • our final ranking, including why Handy and Schiller holds up best www.scotchybourbonboys.com for all things scotchy bourbon boys.

We line up homemade builds, bottled ready-to-drink Old Fashioneds, and bar-style barrel-aged batches to answer a real question for bourbon fans: is the classic Old Fashioned still king, or have RTD cocktails finally gotten good enough to keep stocked year-round?  CT joins us as our resident mixologist and we get hands-on with what actually changes the drink: proof, dilution, bitters, sweeteners, citrus, cherries, ice, and even the weight of the rocks glass. We taste through popular options and talk straight about what works and what tastes like “every bad bar Old Fashioned,” including how to rescue an orange-heavy pour with lemon zest, or rebalance sweetness by cutting syrup and leaning into rye whiskey or higher proof bourbon.  We also dig into Old Fashioned history, from the 1806 cocktail definition to Prohibition-era muddled fruit, plus the Wisconsin Old Fashioned tradition with soda. Then we go full experiment mode with barrel-aged flavor, smoking tools, and a showstopper: a bacon fat washed Old Fashioned built with black walnut bitters, a touch of chocolate bitters, and barrel-aged maple syrup.  If you love bourbon cocktails, bitters, and practical home bartending tips, you'll want this one.

The Ghost of Jerry Thomas Has Notes | AI, Dale DeGroff & the Future of Cocktails Mark and Francis attempt the impossible: an interview with Jerry Thomas, the 19th-century bartending legend who helped write the book on American cocktails. With help from AI and a performance by cocktail icon Dale DeGroff, Jerry returns to judge the modern bar, defend showmanship, and remind bartenders that the guest still comes first.Why This Episode MattersJerry Thomas is one of the founding figures of American cocktail culture, and his influence still runs through modern bars.This episode uses AI as a creative tool, not a shortcut, pairing the technology with Dale DeGroff's voice and deep cocktail authority.“Jerry” has strong opinions about today's bar world: better ice, better vermouth, more care, but also too much ego, smoke, and overcomplication.The conversation lands on a timeless hospitality truth: a great drink is not just what's in the glass; it's how the guest feels.It is strange, funny, historically rooted, and exactly the kind of thing that could only happen on The Restaurant Guys.The ConversationJerry Thomas, imagined through AI and voiced by Dale DeGroff, returns from the great beyond to take a look at the modern cocktail world. He is pleased to see bartenders caring again about ice, vermouth, technique, and classic recipes. He is less impressed by drinks built for cameras, fog machines, and bartender ego. His verdict is sharp: effort is not the same as excellence.The conversation moves through showmanship, simplicity, cocktail books, bottled cocktails, with Jerry drawing a clear line between theater that serves the guest and performance that gets in the way. For all the novelty of the premise, the message is pure hospitality. It's not just about the drink, but about how someone feels at your bar. Timestamps0:00 The Restaurant Guys bring Jerry Thomas back from the great beyond2:15 Ego, excess, and why “arrogance is not flavor”3:30 Showmanship, simplicity, and drinks made for the camera5:00 Bottled cocktails, zero-proof drinks and Jerry's final word on hospitalityFeatured GuestJerry Thomas was one of the most influential figures in American bartending, remembered for his theatrical presence behind the bar and his landmark cocktail books. In this special episode, he is imagined through AI and voiced by Dale DeGroff, one of the modern cocktail world's most important figures.Our PlacesStage Left Steakhttps://www.stageleft.com/Catherine Lombardi Restauranthttps://www.catherinelombardi.com/Stage Left Wineshophttps://www.stageleftwineshop.com/Reach Out to The Guys!TheGuys@restaurantguyspodcast.com

This week we're sipping Tin Cup Fourteen, the Mount Sneffels release, and following a thread that ties straight back to last week's pour. Same Colorado founder, a different bottle, and a story that wanders from a ghost town saloon at ten thousand feet to a Jules Verne novel that somehow ended up on a Colorado license plate.There's a high-rye mash bill aged fourteen years, a tiny splash of single malt hiding inside, and a mountain named after an Icelandic volcano because a surveyor in 1874 was apparently really into science fiction.Pour something interesting. We'll do the climbing for you. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

You guys… I'm literally not OK after this episode and neither is Kristi.This week I sat down with my ride-or-die, food influencer and content creator extraordinaire — Kristi Keith, aka the woman behind blond2eat — and we get into EVERYTHING. How she built her brand from scratch, the reality of being a content creator, burnout, balance, and the Dallas food hot takes you didn't know you needed.Oh, and we ended the episode taking shots of her hot sauce. Obviously.If you're a foodie, a fellow chaotic girlie, or just someone who needs to hear that nobody actually has it together — this one's for you.Send this to your Dallas bestie and subscribe so you never miss an episode!

This week on The Whiskey Trip Podcast, Big Chief heads to Lyons, Colorado — the gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park — to sit down with Craig Engelhorn from Spirit Hound Distillers for a ride through mountain whiskey culture and handcrafted American Single Malt.   With a deep brewing background, Craig shares how his passion for grain and fermentation shaped Spirit Hound's whiskey program, along with the story behind the incredible still he hand crafted himself.   On the first half, the guys sip Spirit Hound's American Single Malt with a touch of peated malt before diving into their Bottled in Bond Palo Cortado Finished American Single Malt loaded with dark fruit, roasted nuts, and an unforgettable horehound candy finish.   The second half climbs even higher with the Colorado Honey Finished American Single Malt, where the honey enhances the whiskey without overpowering it. They finish the ride with a monster rye whiskey made from 70% rye and 30% malted barley bottled at a staggering 155.6 proof. Big, bold, spicy, and unapologetic just like the Rocky Mountains it calls home.   Take the Ride with Big Chief.   Cheers. 

Leinster were blown off the park in Bilbao as Bordeaux turned a European final into a statement. Another final, another collapse, and the questions around this Leinster side are only getting louder. We unpack the French dismantling, whether the Lions are catching Leinster at the perfect time, and turn our attention to a URC quarter-final weekend where the margins are tight and where a bad 20 minutes can end a season

Indian paintbrush showed up at Porter Prairie Family Farm this week — native Oklahoma wildflower, first time Adam's seen it on his property. He didn't plant it. Nobody did. The seed bank was just dormant, waiting for the soil to be right. Two years of cattle grazing in the back pasture, no mowing, better land management — and something long dormant finally decided it was safe to bloom. Joel Salatin talks about this: when the practices change, when a property gets new stewardship, the land seems to know it. So does grace.David's been busy in a different direction. He wired up an automatic door for the chicken coop — actuator, relay, battery, timer — a sliding gate that covers the nesting boxes so the younger chickens stop sleeping in them and fouling the eggs. Under $150 total, including an actuator that lifts 300 pounds for thirty bucks. When he asked Lady Pamela what she wanted it to look like, she said: prison bars coming down. "We'll call it the Henna Tincture." David said say no more. The Henna Tincture it is.This week we're sipping Heaven Hill Bottled in Bond, Kentucky Straight Bourbon, 7 years — same distillery as Elijah Craig and Evan Williams. No gimmicks, under fifty bucks, smooth finish with a peanut butter quality that works. Bottled in bond since the Act of 1897. Very solid.Quick update on baby Mary: she's still having good days. Praise God. Keep her and Lady Haylee in your prayers. Adam also headed out to Arkansas over Mother's Day weekend to be with his goddaughter JoJo Kleine for her First Holy Communion — and got to watch nephew Danny Kleine go two-for-two at the plate with at least one RBI. After months of watching a daughter fight for her life in a NICU, sometimes what a soul needs is family, a Mass, and a kid absolutely cranking baseballs.Then we get into it: the papacy. A year in with Pope Leo XIV — the first American pope, the man who took the name knowing exactly whose shoes he was stepping into — and what does all of it mean? Where does that authority come from, and what's it actually for?Dave traces it back to the Davidic kingdom. When the king left for war, he handed the keys to his steward, who operated with full royal authority until the king returned. Matthew 16 isn't symbolism. "What you bind on earth will be bound in heaven" — the Jews at the time knew exactly what that meant. That's why Peter is listed first among the apostles almost every time. He was their leader. He had the keys. Two thousand years of unbroken succession later, here we are.But then the conversation goes somewhere unexpected. Authority is given to you so that you might serve those over whom you have authority. Not for your own glory. Not so people owe you. The pope is literally titled Servant of the Servants of God. The same authority Christ handed to Peter is the same authority He described in the upper room — the pagans lord it over their subjects, but not so among you. You will be the one who serves.For fathers, that cuts. Pope John Paul II stood up against governments, even after taking a bullet. He kept going out. What does that courage look like in an ordinary household? Probably not a wound in the square. More likely a different kind of martyrdom — the kind where you make a decision for your family that nobody else understands, that your kids resent for a season, that costs you something in your social circle. You make it anyway. Because you've prayed about it, talked it through with your wife, and you know in your gut it's the right thing for your people. You stand on the island by yourself if you have to.Dave closes with something worth trying: he prays specifically to the Holy Spirit to give Lady Pamela strong motherly intuition into the inner lives of their children. When she says something feels off, he pays close attention. That's him exercising his authority — his fatherly papacy — to draw more grace into his household. Not to control everything himself. To pray for the right graces for the right people.The fatherly papacy, if you will.Raise your glass.TOPICS COVEREDIndian paintbrush flowers appearing at Porter Prairie — and why the land responds to new stewardshipJoel Salatin and the School of Traditional Skills on how cattle and management change soil biologyDavid's automatic chicken coop door: actuator, relay, timer, and the Henna TinctureDavid's wheat harvest coming up — 12,000 square feet, building a grain cradle for the scytheBourbon of the week: Heaven Hill Bottled in Bond, 7-year Kentucky Straight BourbonJoJo Klein's First Holy Communion and nephew Danny Klein's two-for-two at the plateBaby Mary update — still having good days, keep her in your prayersPope Leo XIV's one-year anniversary — the first American pope and what it means to hear him speak in American EnglishThe modern problem of instant information and why it's harder than ever to be the popeWhy interview questions on a plane, stripped of all context, are unfair to any human beingThe name you give a child is an inheritance — a new name inherits nothingWhy Adam named Leo Thomas after Pope Leo XIII and Thomas Aquinas, and John Dominic after the Apostle and the DominicansPope Leo XIII: the Marian pope, the social doctrine pope, the first pope ever filmedThomas Aquinas on the papacy — Contra Gentiles and the SummaThe Davidic kingdom and the keys: Matthew 16 as a transfer of royal authority, not a metaphorThe question of authority — Trent Horn, Protestants, atheists, and why it always comes down to thisWhy the things closest to heaven get attacked the hardest — authority and sexuality as parallel examplesThe pope as Servant of the Servants of God — and what that actually costsPope John Paul II standing up against communist governments even after being shotWhat putting yourself in harm's way looks like for fathers: social martyrdom, not bulletsMaking decisions for your family that your kids, their friends, and their friends' parents all disagree withThe German church and what a timeout looks like at the universal levelWhy the Church has been around for 2,000 years and what that tells youPraying for your wife's specific graces — and why Dave prays for Lady Pamela's motherly intuitionAuthority as the source of efficacious prayer — a father's prayers for his childrenThe TOTUS TUUS decision and trusting a mother's intuitionPope Leo's upcoming AI encyclical — and why millennials are the generation tasked with figuring this outThe fatherly papacy — what domestic authority and universal authority shareREFERENCED IN THIS EPISODEBooks & Writings:Summa Theologiae by St. Thomas AquinasSumma Contra Gentiles by St. Thomas AquinasSaints & Historical Figures:St. Thomas AquinasPope Leo XIII (social doctrine, Marian encyclicals, first pope ever filmed)Pope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost, first American pope)Pope John Paul II (stood against communist governments, continued ministry after assassination attempt)Pope Francis (repose of his soul — the men still catching themselves saying the wrong name)King David / the Davidic kingdom (Old Testament typology for the papacy)St. Peter (first pope, holder of the keys)People & Guests:Joel Salatin — School of Traditional SkillsTrent Horn (Catholic apologist, debates on authority)Patrick Stephen (listener and Instagram follower who suggested the topic)JoJo Klein — Adam's goddaughter, received First Holy CommunionDanny Klein — Adam's nephew, baseballLady Haylee MinihanLady Pamela NilesLuke Minihan (Adam's oldest)Mary Minihan (in the NICU)Programs:TOTUS TUUS (Catholic youth formation program)School of Traditional Skills (online homesteading video subscription)Scripture:Matthew 16:18-19 — "I give you the keys to the kingdom"John 20:23 — binding and loosingSPONSOR BLOCKSponsor: Select International Tours — selectinternationaltours.comWhen Adam and Dave decided to lead their first pilgrimage, they asked around, and the same name came up over and over: Select International Tours.

What an absolute gut-punch at Stade Saputo.Orlando City looked poised to escape Canada with a hard-fought road point, only for a complete mental collapse in stoppage time to hand CF Montréal a 2-0 victory. To make it hurt ten times worse? The daggers were twisted by none other than our own former players.First, Luca Petrasso—whom we let walk—drew the controversial 94th-minute penalty that Daniel Ríos converted. Then, as if that wasn't painful enough, Dagur Dan Thórhallsson—traded away just last December for GAM—comes off the bench to smash an absolute stoppage-time golazo in the 98th minute to seal our doom.On this live episode of Loud and Proud Orlando, we are venting. How does this team beat Inter Miami one week, only to completely lose focus in the final four minutes of the next? We are talking Jansson's penalty, the lack of late-game concentration, and whether our past transfer business is officially coming back to haunt us.Grab a drink, get in the live chat, and let's scream about this one together.#OrlandoCity #MLS #CFMontréal #DagurDan #LucaPetrasso #StoppageTime #OrlandoCitySC #StadeSaputo

On today's episode, we welcome Monica Nassif, Founder of Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day and author of I Bottled My Mother — a brand that proves even the most overlooked categories can be completely reimagined if you're willing to challenge what everyone else accepts as “good enough.” What started as a simple idea—to make cleaning products that actually smelled good, felt good, and worked—turned into a category-defining brand that disrupted a $30 billion industry. Not bad for something most people never thought twice about. In this episode, Monica breaks down what it really takes to see opportunity where others don't—and have the conviction to act on it. We get into building emotional connection in unlikely places, why failure is often the real teacher, and how instinct—not just data—can shape breakthrough brands. She also shares the deeply personal story behind her new book, I Bottled My Mother, and how family, resilience, and perspective shaped not just her life—but her leadership. If you care about building something meaningful, navigating both success and failure, or learning how to think differently about opportunity—this one's worth your time.   Are you interested in sponsoring and advertising on The Kara Goldin Show, which is now in the Top 1% of Entrepreneur podcasts in the world?

Everton's European prospects are bleak after one of the most frustrating results of the season. Matt and Paddy assess the team's recent defensive disintegration and look at why the mentality has been wrong in the last five games. In short, have the Blues bottled it? We then look at our priorities for the summer - Matt goes a bit Walter Smith - and give kudos to Beto after his brilliant goal.

Send us Fan MailWe hand Watershed the keys and let Ryan Venrick run our first distillery-led blind tasting, and we learn fast that we're not as good at guessing as we think. The reveals turn into a real lesson on slow water reduction, finishing choices, and how Watershed is reshaping Ohio bourbon from the barrel up. • Ryan's career path from bottling line to blending and barrel management • Why Watershed's bourbon portfolio changed after the mash bill shift • Blind tasting format and why pairing samples exposes process differences • Apple brandy finish side-by-side with crash dilution vs slow reduction • How slow water reduction affects mouthfeel, perceived proof, and flavor • Bottled-in-bond vs toasted bourbon and what “toasted” is meant to add • Uncut Unfiltered Batch 7 reveal and why proof placement matters in tastings • Nochino finished bourbon and the labor of harvesting unripe walnuts • The elevage program and why only a small number of distilleries do it • Watershed closing the restaurant and building new on-site experiences • What's coming next: OHLQ single barrels, fall finishes, maple finale, Japan tease • Blending philosophy: start with a base then shape with “one trick pony” barrels www dot scotchyburbonboys.com for all things scotchy bourbon boys make sure you check us out we've got glenn's we've got t-shirts we've got bourbon balls and then make sure you follow us on facebook instagram youtube and axon along with apple iheart and spotify and anywhere else you listen or watch us no matter what make sure you leave good feedback become a member definitely support us in any way that you can and support the brands that we bring on like when you see these brands support them support ohio support whoever it is but because support them because good bourbon equals good friends and good times don't drink and drive drink responsibly and live your life uncut and unfiltered Crash dilute or slow reduce, can you actually taste the difference? We bring on Ryan from Watershed and hand him full control of a five-pour blind tasting built to show where Watershed has been and where their bourbon is headed. The curveball: two glasses are the exact same apple brandy finished whiskey at the exact same proof, but diluted two different ways. Once you hear what's happening in those barrels, you'll never think about proofing water the same way again.From there we work through the lineup and put names to what our palates are telling us: a core Bottled-in-Bond, a limited toasted bourbon done with a short, targeted finish, and a final punchy reveal that lands at 123 proof with Uncut Unfiltered Batch 7. Along the way we get into the real “why” behind mouthfeel, perceived heat, oak extraction, and how slow water reduction can preserve flavor compounds and create a more cohesive pour. If you love blind tastings, barrel finishes, and nerdy whiskey process talk that stays practical, this one delivers.We also zoom out to the bigger story of Ohio whiskey. Ryan shares how Watershed is building an elevage-style program, why scaling techniques like slow reduction is hard, and what's next as they invest in better visitor experiences like a blending class and a bottle-your-own option. We talk upcoming OHLQ single barrels, the fall finishing series, and why the maple finish is designed for balance, not syrup.Subscribe, share this with a bourbon friend who swears they can always call Add for SOFL If You Have GohstsSupport the showhttps://www.scotchybourbonboys.comThe Scotchy bourbon Boys are #3 in Feedspots Top 60 whiskey podcasts in the world    https://podcast.feedspot.com/whiskey_podcasts/

Tap water isn't safe either. And almost nobody actually knows what's in either one. There are over 90 regulated contaminants in municipal tap water — and another 100+ that are completely unregulated. Bottled water is regulated by the FDA, which holds it to less stringent standards than what your city requires for tap. And research shows that people who rely on bottled water ingest roughly 90,000 more microplastics per year — coming straight from the plastic bottle itself. Dr. G ran the investigation so you know exactly where to put your money and what to stop buying immediately. In this episode, you'll find out:  • The 5 categories of contaminants hiding in your water right now — disinfection byproducts, PFAS forever chemicals, heavy metals, microplastics, and pharmaceuticals — and why the legal limit is not the same as safe  • Which bottled water brands actually passed transparency testing and which ones are just repackaged tap water in plastic  • The best filtration systems at every budget — from under $100 pitchers to countertop reverse osmosis — and what each one actually removes You drink water every single day.

A single drop of water can either unlock the hidden soul of a bourbon or flatline its flavor entirely. In an industry where collectors often focus more on the label than the liquid, understanding the chemistry of the "tame and maim" is what separates the enthusiasts from the experts. We sit down with resident authority Russ Kempton to break down why the market is finally shifting back in favor of the consumer.We get into a head-to-head comparison between the legendary Buffalo Trace and the bold, high-heat maturation of Still Austin's Bottled-in-Bond Red Corn. The conversation covers the tactical reality of Texas whiskey production, the legal requirements for "straight" bourbon designations, and the trilogy of tasting: proof, oak, and cereal grains. Russ also explains the molecular fracturing that occurs during aeration and why your "uneducated palette" might be missing notes of marzipan and stone fruit.The unglamorous truth is that whiskey aging is at the mercy of the elements; a barrel in the Texas Hill Country loses nearly triple the "Angels' Share" compared to one in Kentucky, drastically changing the cost and intensity of the final pour. You'll walk away from this episode with a system for grading your own shelf and a clear warning on how to avoid "killing" a high-proof spirit with too much ice.

Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter are back at the Bourbon Road bar for a dedicated rye whiskey night, working through five distinct expressions that showcase the breadth and character of American rye. From honey-finished blends to farm-strength single-grain pours, the lineup spans distilleries across Nevada, Ohio, Maryland, Kentucky, and Atlanta, giving listeners a wide-angle view of what rye whiskey looks like in 2025 and beyond. On the Tasting Mat:** - Short Barrel After Swarm 2: A blend of MGP and Green River 95/5 rye finished in Kelvin Cooperage barrels previously soaked with Oregon meadow foam honey for approximately 10–11 months, then aged an additional 11–12 months in those honey-conditioned staves. Bottled at 108.6 proof and retailing around $115, this six-plus-year expression opens with unmistakable honey on the nose alongside coconut and vanilla, leading to a syrupy, well-balanced palate of rye muffin, honey butter, and toasted pine nuts, with a finish that drifts toward Mexican chocolate and dried chili. *(00:01:19)* - New Riff 10 Year Malted Rye: A special limited 375ml release from New Riff Distilling in Newport, Kentucky, drawn from a two- to three-barrel blend of 100% malted rye aged a minimum of ten years and bottled at 118.8 proof (approximately $46 for the 375ml). The nose offers earthy, chalky minerality with underlying fruit and aromatic spice. On the palate it shows a softer, grain-forward character with dry dark chocolate, mint, and a coniferous, living-forest quality on the finish. *(00:09:23)* - Frey Ranch Farm Strength Uncut Rye: A 100% Canadian winter rye expression from Frey Ranch in Northern Nevada, distilled and aged on the same 2,500-acre farm where the grain is grown, aged a minimum of six years and bottled at cask strength, 124.52 proof. Available exclusively through the distillery's online shop at $79.99, this pour delivers an exceptional grain-forward nose with cream sweetness, fresh strawberry, and an almost field-fresh rye character. The palate is smooth and deceptively easy-drinking for the proof, with candy cinnamon and a long, clean finish that highlights the integrity of the single-farm grain. *(00:16:01)* - Pursuit United Triple Mash Rye: Blended and bottled by Pursuit United in Louisville, Kentucky, this expression combines three distinct mash bills — Sagamore Spirits high-corn rye (52% rye / 43% corn / 5% malted barley), Sagamore Spirits 95/5 rye, and Bardstown, Kentucky 95/5 rye — with barrels ranging roughly four to eight years old, all bottled at barrel proof of 124.8 and retailing for $79.99. The nose is warm and holiday-spiced with dark fruit, nutmeg, cinnamon, and a hint of citrus. The palate is buttery and velvety with blueberry, lemon sorbet, and a trefoil-cookie sweetness, finishing long and satisfying. *(00:25:53)* - Archer Eland Cashmere Rye: A collaboration between founder Wendy Pevich (formerly of Penelope Bourbon) and Middle West Spirits in Columbus, Ohio, this expression uses 100% Ohio-grown rye — a combination of standard and malted rye — aged approximately seven years and bottled at 126 proof, retailing for $84.99. The nose leads with dried apricot, peach, and a malt-forward fruitiness. On the palate it balances earthiness, ripe fruit, and a pronounced spicy mint-pepper character, with a medium-length finish carrying peach soda and fresh mint. *(00:32:38)* Rye whiskey night at the Bourbon Road bar proved once again that the category rewards exploration. Whether you gravitate toward the softer, sweetened side of the spectrum or prefer high-proof grain-forward expressions straight from the farm, this lineup offered something for every rye enthusiast. All five bottles are available now or through their respective distillery channels, and every one of them makes a compelling case for keeping a rye or two on your shelf year-round.

This is the final part in our series. This time we talk about different grains. Not the normal mash bill for sure. Hope you enjoy.Badmotivatorbarrels.com/shop/?aff=3https://www.instagram.com/zsmithwhiskeyandmixology?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==While whiskey is traditionally made from the "big four" grains—barley, corn, rye, and wheat—distillers are increasingly using alternative grains to introduce unique flavors, textures, and aromas. These non-traditional grains allow craft distillers to differentiate their products and push the boundaries of classic whiskey profiles.Common Alternate Grains and Their EffectsDistillers choose specific alternative grains primarily for their impact on the final spirit's flavor profile and mouthfeel.Oats: Used to create an exceptionally creamy, oily texture and a dense mouthfeel. They add a mellow, oatmeal-like sweetness and are often used as a "balancer" to smooth out harsher grains like rye.Millet: Known for providing a gentle sweetness with distinct nutty and anise-like (licorice) undertones. It is historically used in African brewing and is prized by some for producing a smoother spirit than corn.Quinoa: Imparts a bold, nutty, and earthy character. Though challenging to work with due to its small size and bitter coating, it is highly expressive; even a small percentage in a mash bill can significantly alter the taste.Sorghum: Offers a rich, earthy depth with smoky or maple-like notes. It is versatile, as the plant can produce syrup for rum-style spirits and grain for whiskey-style spirits.Rice (Brown Rice): Adds a toasty, nutty flavor and an oily texture. Some distillers note a unique "sweet potato" aroma that pairs well with the vanilla notes from oak aging.Buckwheat: Technically a "pseudo-grain," it lends a distinctly earthy, floral, and nutty body, sometimes reminiscent of roasted pistachios or hazelnuts.Triticale: A human-made hybrid of wheat and rye. It is used to achieve the spiciness of rye but with the soft, sweet finish of wheat.Distilleries Using Alternative GrainsKoval Distillery (Chicago, IL): A pioneer in the space, Koval offers a 100% Millet Whiskey known for its clean, nutty, and floral profile. They also produce an Oat Whiskey and a "Four Grain" expression that blends oats with malted barley, rye, and wheat.Corsair Distillery (Nashville, TN): Known for experimental "alt-grain" releases, Corsair produces a Quinoa Whiskey (80% malted barley, 20% quinoa) which adds distinct earthy and nutty notes. Their "Grainiac" 9-grain bourbon includes corn, barley, rye, wheat, oats, quinoa, triticale, spelt, and buckwheat.High West Distillery (Park City, UT): Produces Valley Tan, a whiskey inspired by Mormon pioneer recipes that blends wheat and oats.High Wire Distilling Co. (Charleston, SC): Known for their "Southern Revival" series, they produce a 100% Sorghum Whiskey using grain grown in Tennessee, offering a profile that some compare to Scotch.Alchemy Distillery (Arcata, CA): They recently released a Bottled-in-Bond Quinoa Whiskey made from grain grown just miles from the distillery.Pine Bluffs Distilling (Pine Bluffs, WY): Offers an Oat Whiskey with a mash bill featuring 36% oats, noted for its smooth texture and vanilla-honey notes.Dakota Spirits Distillery (Pierre, SD): Produces 1804 Oat Whiskey, highlighting the grain's smooth, drinkable quality.Cathead Distillery (Jackson, MS): Debuted a Sorghum Grain Straight Bourbon Whiskey in 2025, using the actual sorghum grain rather than just the syrup.Whiskey Del Bac (Tucson, AZ – popular in the region): Though known for Mesquite-smoked barley, they frequently experiment with regional heritage grains.Hinterhaus Distilling (Arnold, CA – frequently discussed in regional whiskey circles): Often explores unique mash bills that depart from the standard four grains.

What does it take to bridge two wine worlds?  Lenz Moser has made 75 trips to China over 21 years, transforming from curious visitor to pioneering winemaker at Chateau Changyu Moser XV in Ningxia. As the fifth generation of Austria's legendary Lenz Moser wine family, whose grandfather invented the revolutionary trellising system used across Europe. In this episode, we discuss how Lenz brought his vision and winemaking wisdom to China's emerging wine frontier. After managing Austria's pre-eminent winery and serving as General Manager for Robert Mondavi in Europe, he turned his attention east in 2005. In this episode, Lenz shares his journey from that first overwhelming moment in Beijing Airport to becoming the winemaker Chateau Changyu Moser XV in Ningxia. We discuss how he spent 10 years building trust before Changyu appointed him head winemaker, and why understanding China's contradictions: patience versus speed, became essential to his success. He reveals the secret behind Ningxia's world-class wines: the smallest Cabernet Sauvignon berries on earth, grown in a desert terroir that went from unknown to World Atlas of Wine recognition in just over a decade.   Since 2016, Bottled in China brings you into the food and drink scene through conversations with the some of the most happening personalities.

Welcome back to another exciting episode of The Bourbon Road! This week, hosts Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter are broadcasting from the Corner Rickhouse at the Frankfort Bourbon Society. They are joined by a very special recurring guest and friend of the show, Drew Hannish. Drew is the creator of Whiskey Lore, a seasoned whiskey historian, and the author of the new travel guide Experiencing American Whiskey. Drew drops in while traveling to the James B. Beam Institute Industry Conference to share his elite palate and incredible whiskey knowledge with the guys. The theme of the day is cross-country craft whiskey, thanks to the incredible team at Lost Lantern. Founders Adam Polonski and Nora Ganley-Roper have sent over their highly anticipated 2026 Spring Collection. Known for sourcing exceptional casks from under-the-radar craft distilleries across the United States, Lost Lantern has curated a lineup that pits high-proof monsters against nuanced, lower-proof gems. It wouldn't be a true Bourbon Road episode without an epic tasting mat. The guys travel across the map, hitting four different states and a special seven-state blend, experiencing some of the highest proofs ever poured on the show! On the Tasting Mat: Montgomery Distillery Montana Straight Bourbon: Distilled in Missoula, Montana, this 4-year-old single barrel clocks in at 104.6 proof. With a wheated mash bill of 70% corn, 20% wheat, and 10% malted barley, it offers a bright, dry, and mineral-forward profile. The guys pull out intriguing notes of stone fruit, green banana, and a lingering underlying sweetness shaped by the cold Montana climate. Broad Branch Distillery North Carolina Straight Rye: Heading to Winston-Salem, North Carolina, this 8-year-old release marks Lost Lantern's first "hazmat" rye, coming in at a scorching 141.6 proof. Made from 100% prairie rye and aged in a Char 4 barrel, it drinks surprisingly smooth for its octane. The hosts rave about its dessert-like nose, finding notes of dark chocolate, mint, and burnt orange that perfectly mimic eating Thin Mints and Samoas Girl Scout cookies. Dread River Distilling Company Alabama Straight Bourbon: Distilled in Birmingham, Alabama, this 6-year-old wheated bourbon (60% white corn, 30% winter wheat, 10% malted barley) sits at another hazmat level of 141.8 proof. Named after a mythic underground river, this dark, rich pour delivers a "warm river of flavor." The crew finds deep, syrupy notes of dark cherry, molasses, cola, and a smoky baking spice that coats the palate. Days to File Idaho Straight Bourbon: An incredibly rare 10-year-old bourbon sourced from a now-closed distillery in Shelley, Idaho. Boasting a massive 154.4 proof, it utilizes a unique mash bill of 76% corn, 11% triticale, and 13% malted barley. It is an unapologetic, intensely hot pour that challenges the palate with aggressive heat and concentrated oak. Lost Lantern Far-Flung Bourbon 4: To showcase the magic of blending, Adam Polonski combined straight bourbons from seven distilleries across seven states (MD, SC, MS, AZ, TX, IL, WI). Bottled at 120.7 proof, it is a beautifully balanced masterpiece. The guys pick out complex layers of licorice, lemon zest, leather, chocolate, and cherry cola. To wrap up the show, Todd attempts his own "Blendageddon" by mixing the first few high-proof pours together in his glass. Does his makeshift blend rival the masterful touch of the Lost Lantern team, or does it become a disjointed hot mess? Tune in to hear the final verdict, listen to the guys rank their favorites, and join the conversation as they explore the wild frontier of American craft whiskey!

What happens when a nurse-turned-speechwriter has a eureka moment in a big-box store and decides to reinvent the way America cleans? In this episode of the Balancing Act podcast, host Andy Temte talks with Monica Nassif—the founder of Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day and Caldrea—about building brands rooted in authenticity, disrupting a $30 billion market, and knowing when to let go of the business you built from nothing. Monica Nassif is a serial entrepreneur, brand builder, consultant, and author based in Minneapolis. She founded Caldrea in 2000 and Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day in 2002, scaling the brands into more than 20,000 stores nationwide before selling to SC Johnson in 2008. Her career began at Target Corporation (then Dayton Hudson) as an executive speechwriter, and she went on to found the marketing communications agency Kilter Inc. Monica has been inducted into the Minnesota Business Hall of Fame and named University of Minnesota Entrepreneur of the Year and Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year (Midwest Division). Her work has been featured in The New York Times, Fast Company, and Real Simple. She also appeared on NPR's How I Built This with Guy Raz. Her new book, I Bottled My Mother: The Mrs. Meyer's Story: Grit, Grime & Growing a Business (IdeaPress Publishing, March 2026), is her third book. Monica's rocket-booster moment came at 28—the oldest intern in Target's history—when her English advisor slid an internship application across the table and changed the trajectory of her career. That experience ignited a love for retail and consumer products that eventually led her to walk a big-box store in Atlanta, look at a pallet of garish cleaning products, and ask, “What if that was awesome?” Guest: Monica Nassif Website: monicanassif.com Book: I Bottled My Mother: The Mrs. Meyer's Story: Grit, Grime & Growing a Business (IdeaPress Publishing, March 2026) LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/monica-nassif-686876335 Host: Andy Temte Website: andrewtemte.com Available on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Podbean, and all major streaming platforms.

What you don't say… Will eventually cost you everything. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down the silent killer inside growing businesses—bottled resentment and lack of communication. Most leaders think avoiding tough conversations keeps the peace… But in reality, it creates tension, confusion, and slow execution. When standards aren't enforced and problems aren't addressed, your team doesn't improve—they normalize mediocrity. And once that happens, your business starts to stall. The truth is simple: What you tolerate, you encourage. In this episode, you'll learn: Why avoiding hard conversations drains your energy and leadership authority How delayed feedback turns small issues into massive problems Why immediate, direct communication creates faster results and stronger teams How radical transparency builds a high-performance culture Great leaders don't avoid tension… They address it immediately and move forward with clarity.

Welcome back to another episode of The Bourbon Road! After a brief hiatus, the man, the myth, the legend—Jim Shannon—is officially back in the host chair. Jim recently returned from a trip to Florida, where he experienced the wild swings of winter weather, going from 80 degrees down to 35. Of course, Kentucky wasn't about to be outdone, greeting him with 70-degree days followed immediately by threats of snow and heavy rains. As Jim and Todd Ritter settle back into the Bourbon Road bar, they take a moment to reflect on the crazy weather and look back at the anniversary of the historic Frankfort floods, thankful that the waterfront survived mostly intact this year. But enough about the weather—it is time to drink some incredible whiskey. For this highly anticipated review episode, the guys are diving into something truly special: the brand-new King of Kentucky Small Batch releases from Brown-Forman. If you follow the brand, you know that King of Kentucky is historically known for its ultra-rare, high-proof single barrel releases. However, the team at Brown-Forman found themselves with around 100 barrels that had incredibly low yields—some containing only 20 to 30 bottles worth of liquid due to heavy evaporation. Rather than release them individually, they decided to batch them together. This special release was created in honor of the upcoming 250th anniversary of the United States. These small batches feature bourbon aged between 12 and 18 years, and surprisingly, they utilize a slightly different mash bill than the standard releases: 75% corn, 15% rye, and 10% malted barley. Bottled in 700mL formats with an MSRP of $299, these are still incredibly hard to find. Fortunately, Todd and Jim were lucky enough to get their hands on samples of all three batches thanks to their good friend John Peetz (aka Top Dog), whom they recently joined for an excellent barrel pick at Bluegrass Distilling. On the Tasting Mat: King of Kentucky Small Batch 1: Coming in at 105 proof, this first batch sets the stage with a classic, robust Brown-Forman nose full of cherry pie crust, toasted coconut, and vanilla. However, the palate takes a sharp turn into an incredibly dry and tannic profile. Lacking any real sweetness, it delivers bitter dark cacao, leather, and heavy oak tannins that linger on the back of the palate for a remarkably long finish. It is a complex, dry pour that demands your attention and pairs perfectly with a dark Maduro cigar. King of Kentucky Small Batch 2: Stepping up to 107.5 proof, Batch 2 shifts away from the dry tannins of the first pour and moves into darker, spicier territory. The nose is rich with dark fruits like dates, figs, and dried palm fruits. On the palate, it brings a leathery tobacco bite accompanied by a sizzling cinnamon and black pepper spice that dances across the tongue. It retains a dry character but balances the heavy oak with a fantastic, mouth-watering sizzle. King of Kentucky Small Batch 3: The heaviest hitter of the trio clocks in at 110 proof. This batch brings a completely different energy, opening with a bright, fresh nose of rich chocolate, citrusy lemon, and a distinct Coca-Cola note. The palate introduces a "faux sweetness"—a luscious cherry cola syrup flavor that perfectly masks the high proof while delivering a spicy, full-mouth tingle that coats the entire tongue beautifully. After sipping through the three official batches, Todd flexes his "Blendageddon" skills for the final pour of the night. By combining equal parts of Batch 1, Batch 2, and Batch 3, Todd creates a custom "Batch 4" that sits right around 107.5 proof. The guys evaluate this impromptu blend to see if combining the dry tannins, the dark fruit spice, and the sweet cherry cola notes results in a masterpiece that rivals the individual batches. Tune in to hear Jim and Todd's full tasting notes, their discussion on the secondary market values for these rare bottles, and their personal rankings of the King of Kentucky Small Batches. Which batch will take the crown? Grab your favorite glass, pour something special, and join us down the Bourbon Road. Cheers!

Welcome back to another episode of the Bourbon Road podcast! This week, Todd Ritter is holding down the fort solo while Jim Shannon escapes to warmer weather. But Todd isn't drinking alone at the Bourbon Road bar; he's joined by two fantastic returning guests to celebrate the Bottled in Bond Act. Amsey Wenning, the "Alec Baldwin of the show" from the Frankfort Bourbon Society and Bourbon on the Banks, is back, along with filmmaker Bo Cumberland, the director behind the Frankfort: The Heart of Bourbon documentary. The guys dive into a deep discussion about Bo's recent documentary work. With his Frankfort film approaching 22,000 views on YouTube, Bo shares the overwhelmingly positive response it has received. He also talks about his exciting new series, Forging a Bourbon Legacy, which explores the deep, intertwining roots of bourbon history in Anderson County. Through short-form episodes, Bo is uncovering the fascinating stories of families and figures like the Ripy family, the Bonds, Judge McBrayer, and the history behind Wild Turkey, proving that Kentucky's bourbon history is anything but simple. Amsey also shares some incredible news about the Bourbon on the Banks festival, revealing that the charity-driven event recently distributed over $100,000 to local organizations, with volunteers getting a say in where the funds go. Of course, a Bottled in Bond celebration requires some stellar 100-proof whiskeys, and the tasting mat is loaded with unique and highly anticipated pours: First up is a true dusty: 1992 Old Crow Bottled-in-Bond. This 4-year-old Japanese export delivers a classic bourbon nose with rich caramel and dark colors that defy its age. The guys marvel at its luscious mouthfeel and cherry caramel notes, finding it vastly superior to modern iterations of the brand and proving that the "good Old Crow" was truly something special. Next, Amsey brings a unique bottle to the table: Angel's Envy Cask Strength Bottled in Bond. A rare combination of terms, this 6-year-old bourbon achieves its 100 proof through a lower barrel entry proof and meticulous blending rather than adding water. The crew discovers an intriguing almond and amaretto nose, followed by a soft, fruity palate with hints of green apple, light caramel, and a sweet confectioner's sugar finish that drinks surprisingly gentle. Finally, they head south to sample the Old Dominick Bottled in Bond Tennessee Whiskey. Produced in Memphis, this expression features a mash bill of 75% corn, 13% rye, and 12% malted barley. It undergoes the Lincoln County process and is aged in West Tennessee white oak with a heavy #4 alligator char. The result is a bold, earthy pour with notes of dark cherry, sweet pipe tobacco, and a pleasant graininess that finishes with a spicy, white pepper kick. Tune in as the guys sip through these incredible bonded whiskeys, debate the merits of short-form versus long-form storytelling, and share plenty of laughs along the way. Cheers!

On this anniversary of the signing of the Bottled-in-Bond Act, it is time to dig in deep, and focus research on the man behind the Bottled-in-Bond Act, learn the real reason the bill was created, hear the 1897 arguments for and against it, and ride the rollercoaster of American legislation at the tail end of the Gilded Age. I'll also reveal why we should never refer to the modern regulations as The Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897. If you heard my first Bottled-in-Bond episode when it was released in 2019, I'm sorry for leading you astray. I was prone to marketing lore and there is a lot of it around this Act. When you hear today's episode, you'll realize how easy it is to get lore that seems confirmed by fact. If you heard my update just over a year ago, gone is the long drawn out story about adulteration. Today, we're going to dig in deep and focus on the goal of filling in the gaps of our knowledge about the real Bottled-in-Bond Act through contemporary accounts. And, it's time we honor the man who brought the bill through committee to the floor and who hand delivered it to President Cleveland. Happy Bottled-in-Bond Day!

This week on The Whiskey Trip, Big Chief sits down with President Mark Shilling and Head Distiller Brandon Onstott of Maverick Distilling for a conversation built on Texas history, independence, and whiskey that carries the weight of the Maverick name. The legacy of Samuel Maverick sets the tone early, independent, unbranded, and unapologetically Texan, and that same spirit shows up in every pour. They open the first half of the show sipping Maverick's Straight Bourbon Whiskey, made with all Texas grains. At 88 proof, it drinks with a natural sweetness and a rich, viscous mouthfeel that coats the palate without overpowering it. It is approachable but still carries structure, a true everyday Texas bourbon that does not sacrifice character for smoothness. From there, they step it up to their Bottled in Bond 5 year old expression. The extra age and proof bring depth and backbone, layered oak, developed sweetness, and that unmistakable bottled in bond integrity that speaks to patience and discipline in the rickhouse. In the second half, they begin with their Single Barrel Four Grain, a whiskey that immediately commands attention. Bold yet balanced, complex yet intentional, it is the pour that makes Big Chief lean back and say it out loud, this one can compete for his Whiskey of the Year. The balance of grains creates a layered experience with sweetness, spice, and oak working together instead of fighting for dominance. It is Texas confidence in a glass. They close the show with their Triticale expression. That grain brings a distinctive character, offering spice on the front end, a steady sweetness through the mid palate, and lingering tobacco notes on the finish. It is different, thoughtful, and memorable, the kind of pour that reminds you Texas distillers are not afraid to innovate. Throughout the episode, Mark speaks to the responsibility of carrying the Maverick legacy forward, while Brandon breaks down how grain selection, Texas heat, and barrel management shape each expression. This is not whiskey chasing Kentucky tradition. This is whiskey rooted in Texas soil, shaped by Texas climate, and driven by Texas independence. Pour something worthy, settle in, and take the ride.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Bourbon Road! This week, hosts Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter hit the road, navigating a snowy and icy Kentucky winter to visit the historic Sugarbush Farm in Perryville, Kentucky. They are joined by special guests Lizzie and Aaron Haynes, the passionate founders of Peter E. Hart Spirits. The episode delves deep into the rich history of the farm and its namesake, Sergeant Peter E. Hart. Lizzie shares the incredible story of her great-great-great-grandfather, a Union cavalry sergeant who rode with the 13th Union Cavalry—known as "The Dreaded 13". Sgt. Hart survived the bloody Battle of Perryville in October 1862 and later returned to purchase the very land where Lizzie and Aaron now live and operate their business. We explore how the couple drew inspiration from this family legacy and granddaddy's porch-side cigar sessions to launch their own whiskey brand. Aaron, a chemical engineer trained through the University of Kentucky's distillation program, brings his technical expertise to the crafting and blending process, ensuring every bottle honors traditional Kentucky methods. The couple discusses the challenges and triumphs of launching their brand as a non-distilling producer (NDP) in 2020, and their exciting future plans to build a 500-gallon still and a tasting room directly on their historic family property. In this episode, the tasting mat features three exceptional expressions crafted by Aaron and Lizzie. The hosts break down the flavor profiles of each: Peter E. Hart Kentucky Rye Whiskey: This rye whiskey is finished in a freshly poured bourbon barrel that was smoked for eight hours with burning staves. Bottled at 100 proof, this expression features a unique sweet smoke profile that tones down the traditional rye spice. The brand blends rye whiskeys that are no younger than three years. The hosts note a chalky Necco candy aroma alongside a light, elegant fruitiness on the palate. Peter E. Hart Wheated Kentucky Straight Bourbon (Single Barrel): This limited-edition bourbon originally came out of the barrel at a 130 cask strength before being expertly proofed down to 112 to find the perfect flavor balance. It features a highly unique mash bill using honeyed wheat and honeyed malted barley. The hosts rave about its rich mahogany color, deep caramel notes, and a satisfying butter pecan finish. Peter E. Hart Double Oaked 8-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon: Sourced from Jim Beam, this 105-proof bourbon is double oaked for three months in a Level 4 char ISC barrel without toasting. Its mash bill consists of 67% corn, 23% rye, and 10% malted barley. The secondary maturation creates an elegant, robust pour with intense notes of stewed plums, leather, dried black cherries, and a cinnamon hard candy finish. Listen in as Jim and Todd savor these incredible pours, discuss the balancing act of running a growing family business, and learn how Peter E. Hart Spirits is blending rich Civil War history with top-tier Kentucky whiskey. Be sure to check out our private Facebook group, "The Bourbon Roadies" for a great group of bourbon loving people.
