This week on The Whiskey Trip, Big Chief pulls no punches as he sits down with the straight-shooting Brandon Carlton—the man behind Brewtally Honest Bourbon. A voice unafraid to call it like he tastes it, Brandon brings his raw enthusiasm and no-nonsense style to a tasting session that dives deep into the powerhouse that is the 1792 lineup. From the approachable sweetness of 1792 Small Batch, to the bold, unapologetic fire of Full Proof, and the structured depth of Bottled-in-Bond, these two bourbon-loving renegades tear into the flavors, the legacy, and the soul behind one of Barton's finest creations. But this episode's more than tasting notes and mash bills. Brandon shares the roots of his brutally honest brand, the rise of a community built on trust and truth, and what it means to stay real in a world that's too often watered down. This is bourbon with backbone. This is storytelling with soul. And if you think you've tasted 1792 before—think again. Buckle up, pour heavy, and get ready for a wild ride through the heart of Kentucky flavor. Follow @BrewtallyHonestBourbon and @TheWhiskeyTrip for giveaways, laughs, and a behind-the-scenes look at the whiskey world without the filters. This isn't just a podcast—it's a damn Whiskey Trip.

Is it something in the water? Why insist on bottled brands at every meal when in a country like France, it flows freely from the tap – even if it's not exactly free. We'll ask about old habits and new realities that force a rethink of what we drink. Anger bubbling over this week with the French senate concluding that the government “at the highest level” covered up for Nestlé which continued to put the words "natural mineral water" on bottles and cans of iconic brands such as Perrier even though the threat of bacteria and pollution have long forced the Swiss food giant to filter the output of its spring in southeast France. Wherein lies the real issue here… for consumers… citizens…… and for the planet? We often cover stories about water scarcity. But it's also water management, in this instance how we provide and distribute drinking water. Whose job is it to make sure that it's clean, that it's fairly meted out? And who gets to profit from the service of providing this vital necessity? Produced by François Picard, Rebecca Gnignati, Juliette Laffont, Jimena Morales-Velasco, Alessandro Xenos.

This episode of the Bourbon Road podcast features Jim Shannon (traveling in Denver, Colorado) interviewing Al Laws of Laws Whiskey House. Laws shares the history and philosophy behind his Denver-based distillery, emphasizing their grain-to-glass approach using heirloom Colorado grains like Centennial white wheat and San Luis Valley rye. He discusses the mash bill of their flagship Four Grain Bourbon (60% corn, 20% wheat, 10% rye, 10% malt) and the specific flavor contributions of each grain, including the unique "penny metallic bite" from the rye and nutty finish from the scarlet barley. Laws explains how they adjusted their cooking technique to achieve balance in the Four Grain Bourbon and credits his mentor, Bill Friel, a veteran distiller from Bardstown, Kentucky. Laws recounts his personal journey from oil and gas finance in Canada to pursuing his obsession with American whiskey, driven by a desire for hands-on artistry and authenticity. He highlights the historical significance of the Bottle in Bond Act as the first U.S. consumer protection law and Laws Whiskey House's pioneering role as the first Bottled-in-Bond whiskey in Colorado. The conversation also delves into their 100% Rye Whiskey, exploring the earthy notes derived from the soil where the grain is grown at high altitude in the San Luis Valley. They taste a Cognac Cask Finished Bourbon, discussing the process of layering in different aged bourbons into French oak casks and a large 1600-gallon foeder for integration, resulting in a richer, more integrated flavor over years. This Solera-style finished bourbon is a special, limited annual release. They also try a high-proof, high-wheat blend called "Super Wheater," noting its intense flavor and how water or ice can open it up. Laws describes the unique distillery visit experience, featuring a "Whiskey Church" for educational tastings and a "Whiskey Sanctuary" tasting room with panoramic mountain views. He emphasizes the importance of their team, calling the distillery a "village". They discuss distribution, noting availability in about 15-16 states, with Illinois being a strong market, and the best way to purchase is often directly online or at the distillery.

This dusty bottle represents a unique moment in Kentucky whiskey history when Jim Beam owned the legendary brand created by Colonel EH Taylor Jr., the father of modern bourbon and champion of the 1897 Bottled-in-Bond Act.The journey of Old Taylor weaves through Kentucky's bourbon landscape – from Taylor's original distillery (now Castle & Key) through National Distillers during Prohibition, eventually landing at Jim Beam in 1972 where this particular bottle was produced using their classic 75% corn, 13% rye, 12% malted barley recipe. What makes this tasting extraordinary is experiencing how a modest 86-proof, six-year bourbon from four decades ago delivers exceptional quality that rivals today's premium offerings.Our Old Louisville Whiskey Company Barrel Bottle Breakdown reveals a perfect 18/18 score with remarkable tasting notes: burnt caramel corn aromatics, candy-like sweetness on the palate, and a surprising maple syrup finish that lingers impressively. The viscosity and mouthfeel defy its modest proof, creating an experience that transcends time and connects us directly to bourbon's golden era before the modern whiskey boom.For bourbon enthusiasts, these dusty treasures offer more than nostalgic sipping – they provide perspective on how distillation, aging, and blending techniques have evolved while highlighting the consistent craftsmanship that defines Kentucky's signature spirit. Whether you're a seasoned collector or curious newcomer, seeking out these liquid time capsules offers a unique window into bourbon's rich heritage.Join us next week for our special Derby podcast where we'll explore the deep connections between Old Forrester, Brown-Forman, Woodford Reserve and Kentucky's most famous horse race.

I couldn't help myself. I mean, how American can you be? In fact, I do what I can when travelling to absorb culture and not compare to the American lifestyle.  But I had to ask "Is the Chinese food in China the same as it is in the states?" The answer....listen to the podcast! I was completely taken by Emilie...She brings warmth to her perspective but at the same time, taking a firm position that is rooted in vast experience and educated conjecture. Emilie Steckenborn makes a living where most of us can only dream—at the intersection of wine, culture, and cutting-edge business in China's ever-evolving market. But don't let her youthful charm and “very strong Chinese accent” (as Paul jokes) fool you. Emilie is a polyglot insider who's spent over a decade breaking barriers in Shanghai, consulting for both airlines and luxury giants like LVMH, and unraveling the intricacies of food, wine, and social connection in the world's most populous country. You will come away from this episode with a front-row seat to Emilie's striking journey from Toronto to Asia's fine wine circles, and you'll learn how Western and Chinese culinary myths feed both perceptions and markets. She'll shed light on why most "Chinese food" in North America bears little resemblance to dishes in Beijing or Guangzhou, how social media platforms like Xiaohongshu change what's in your glass and on your plate, and why the Chinese DTC (direct-to-consumer) model leaves American wine buyers in the dust. You'll also get a candid look at the role of women in China's wine scene, why brand is king (or queen) from Yellowtail to Lafite, how fake wine scams erupt and vanish, and what it really takes to build—and protect—a luxury wine label in one of the world's most challenging markets. Emilie's passion for connection glues it all together, whether she's navigating bottles at 50-table banquets or forging authentic stories through her own "Bottled in China" podcast. Expect to leave with a new appreciation for the complexities of selling, sharing, and savoring wine across cultures—and the secrets behind the conversations that only a great glass can unlock.   ✅ Ever wondered how wine, culture, and business blend together in China's booming scene? ✅ Host Paul Kalemkiarian sits down with Emilie Steckenborn—wine industry leader, podcast host, and all-around trailblazer—for a globe-spanning conversation you won't forget. ✅ From myth-busting Chinese cuisine to insider stories on luxury wine brands, social media's impact, and the secret sauce behind wine's magic, Wine Talks uncorks big ideas and bigger stories. ✅ Discover why wine isn't just a drink, but a bridge for connection and innovation—and why the next “aha moment” in your own wine journey might be just one sip away.

There, he sits down with Master Distiller Kyle Merklein to uncover a story of grit, determination, and damn good whiskey. Kyle paints a vivid picture of 1856 Missouri, a time when stagecoaches rumbled through the dusty roads, Pony Express riders pushed the limits of endurance, and silver mines promised fortunes. Amidst it all, two bold brothers, Ben and Major David Holladay, saw something even more valuable—a pure limestone spring that would become the foundation for crafting world-class bourbon. And what's a story without a pour in hand? Big Chief and Kyle start strong with the Ben Holladay 1856 Bottled in Bond—a 100-proof, 6-year-old stunner with a mash bill of 73% Corn, 15% Rye, and 12% Malted Barley. One sip delivers lush stone fruit, crisp cherry pie, and a touch of warm allspice—a perfect way to set the stage. Then, they turn up the intensity with the Ben Holladay 1856 Original Rickhouse Proof—a 123.3-proof cinnamon spice bomb that coats the palate with a velvety heat, unfolding into layers of roasted nuts and rich caramel. For the second half, they dive into the Holladay Soft Red Wheat Bottled in Bond, where a mash bill of 73% Corn, 15% Wheat, and 12% Malted Barley brings something special to the table. Big Chief is instantly transported to a county fair—biting into candied apples, munching on fig newtons, and savoring the creamy sweetness of butterscotch. Finally, they bring it home with the Holladay Soft Red Wheat Rickhouse Proof—a six-year-old, 120.4-proof powerhouse bursting with dark cherry, caramel, and baking spices. This pour takes Big Chief back to high school, with the nostalgic flavors of Big Red cream soda and an atomic fireball—a bold finish to an unforgettable lineup. For over 165 years, Holladay Distillery has stood the test of time, crafting whiskey with character, history, and an unwavering commitment to quality. They're not just making bourbon—they're carrying on a legacy, Missouri-style. So pour yourself a glass, buckle up, and get ready for another wild ride on The Whiskey Trip. Cheers!
