Send us a textThere's a lot of chatter right now around the current status of Maker's Mark's Cask Strength Bourbon product and what's next for it. As the most recent release features an age statement and a curious "Limited Bottling" tag on the label, as well as a significant decrease in the amount of non-age stated product available, there isn't a lot of clarity as to what's happening behind the scenes. So, what should we expect? Are we being set up for a massive change and we don't know it yet? Or is this truly just a limited release? I get into all that, a few pours of the good ol' Maker's bourbon, and even more, on this week's episode of This is my Bourbon Podcast.

Send us a textWe share a club night full of rare pours and smart pairings, then put Hemingway Bourbon and Rye through a dueling bottle breakdown that challenges price bias and highlights finish, body, and balance.

Good bourbon equals good times and good friends. Don't drink and drive. Live your life responsibly. Drink responsibly and live your life uncut and unfiltered.A porch, a few cigars, and a lineup that made our whole crew lean in—this one starts with community and ends with two bottles that punch above their price. We revisit our Crystal Glencairn Club tasting where Parker Heritage, Hardin's Creek, Knob Creek 21, and Cathedral met cheeses, caramels, and pumpkin muffins. Then we get tactical: a blind Knob Creek 21 vs 9-year comparison to check bias at the door, plus a sneaky Red Bull palate reset that proved how sweetness and acidity can tilt a pour into new territory.From there we dive into Hemingway Whiskey. The bourbon, a Kentucky blend aged six and four years at 98 proof, reads like a cinnamon graham cracker with chocolate and a frosted apple turnover vibe. It's one of the best $40 flavor rides we've had, with a soft, medium finish that fades clean. The rye brings the drama: a blend finished in rum-seasoned Oloroso sherry casks, pouring brown sugar, caramel, and sherry warmth without the harsh greenness that turns some drinkers off rye. Thick legs, lush body, and a finish that keeps talking pushed it ahead in our scoring.We also talk brand craft—the Call family's eight generations, the Ernest Hemingway-inspired design, and why story matters when you pour for friends. If you care about value bottles, smart pairings, and learning how context shapes flavor, you'll leave with new moves for your next lineup. Stick around for a tease of our upcoming Wild Turkey deep-dive with Greg and a reminder to join the club if you want first dibs on picks and annual tastings.If you enjoyed this, follow the show on your favorite podcast app, subscribe on YouTube, and leave a quick review.

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.
Old Cassidy is a brand new premium blend of bourbon from Rare Character. Previously, Old Cassidy had been released as a single barrel product, but this inaugural blend will be an annual release that will showcase the best of the barrels that Rare Character has. Distilled and aged in Kentucky and bottled in Lexington, this release represents a deliberate selection of barrels ranging in age, with 18-year-old Kentucky bourbon as the base of the blend. Each barrel for this blend was chosen for its unique contribution of flavor and character, and the result is rich, complex, and harmonious bourbon worthy of being celebrated. In this short, we give you our honest take on this brand new bottle and also speculate on what barrels we believe may have been blended to create this bourbon.--------------------------SocialsIG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupkyFB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupkyYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupkyJoin our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcastPartnership(s)Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUPMusic: All the Fixings by Zachariah HickmanThank you so much for listening!

Lisa Sawyer Derman is the Founder and CEO of Five Springs Infused Bourbon, a bourbon brand that blends Kentucky roots with modern, mixable flavor. Before launching Five Springs, Lisa spent more than 30 years in the global spirits industry, building and leading some of the world's top alcohol brands. Her career includes serving as Chief Operating Officer at Stoli Group, Head of Legal at Absolut, and the Head of the North Division at The Macallan. Drawing on her legal background and executive leadership experience, Lisa launched Five Springs in 2024 with three distinctive expressions—Vanilla Maple, Honey Sage, and Blood Orange—crafted to be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails. Five Springs is designed to make bourbon more approachable and inclusive for a wider range of drinkers and is currently available online nationwide and at retail in multiple states. WHAT'S COVERED IN THIS EPISODE ABOUT BUILDING A BOURBON BRAND Launching a spirits brand is nothing like selling a typical consumer product. The industry is heavily regulated, the three-tier system slows everything down, and it can take years before a product reaches a shelf. After spending more than 30 years as a lawyer and senior executive in the global spirits industry, Lisa Sawyer Derman knew the legal, operational, and financial pieces she would need to get right. Instead of starting with a big marketing push, she tested the product at home, refined the formulas with her family, and proved the concept in two markets before expanding. Her background in deals, regulation, branding, and operations helped her avoid costly mistakes and build a bourbon brand designed to be more approachable and mixable. In this episode of The Lawyer's Edge, Elise talks with Lisa about moving from legal roles into business leadership, launching in a highly regulated industry, learning from founders she worked with along the way, and how she used three decades of industry experience to shortcut the hardest parts of alcohol startups and launch a bourbon brand built for today's drinkers. 2:26 — How a summer mentor pulled her into alcohol beverage law 6:36 — Moving in-house and shifting from legal to deals and operations 11:39 — Using regulatory experience to reduce startup risk (labels, formulas, distributors) 15:05 — Kitchen experiments lead to the infused-bourbon concept for cocktails 18:59 — Testing before investing: launching first in New Jersey and Kentucky 23:35 — From behind-the-scenes lawyer to founder as the face of the brand 26:13 — Handling skepticism in a crowded category and staying with the strategy 29:33 — Advice to younger lawyers: training, mentors, specialization 33:26 — What she tells lawyers who want to start a business 35:49 — Trust your instincts instead of assuming anyone else knows better than you Mentioned In Legal Spirits: How One Lawyer Turned a Legal Career into a Bourbon Brand Five Springs Infused Bourbon | Instagram Get connected with the coaching team: hello@thelawyersedge.com The Lawyer's Edge SPONSOR FOR THIS EPISODE Today's episode is brought to you by the Ignite Women's Business Development Accelerator, a 9-month business development program created BY women lawyers for women lawyers.

Welcome to Barn Talk! In today's episode, Sawyer and Tork are joined by brand builder, restaurateur, and bourbon aficionado Tim Jones. From his small-town Kentucky upbringing—where cattle farming, moonshining, and greeting card factories shaped his early days—to working with iconic bourbon brands like Buffalo Trace and Weller, Tim Jones shares his journey through the world of creativity and entrepreneurship. We dig into the grit behind building great brands, Tim Jones's leap into owning his own businesses, including the buzzworthy Boondogs hot dog joint, and how bourbon became a centerpiece of his story. Plus, hear about Tim Jones's behind-the-scenes experiences on Discovery Channel's Moonshiners and Master Distiller, and the lessons learned from both triumphs and setbacks (including exploding cans!). This episode packs practical wisdom, laughs, and inspiration for anyone chasing their own vision—whether you're a farmer, a founder, or just a fellow bourbon lover.Shop Farmer Grade

BrownTown debriefs"No Cop Academy: The Documentary" (2023) with campaign organizers, interviewees, and producer/curator of the film, Debbie Southorn and Destiny Harris. The team reunites to discuss the creation, process, and impact of the one-hour SoapBox-produced film and the #NoCopAcademy campaign more broadly. The adult-supported, youth directed coalition and campaign from 2017-2019 was a grassroots effort demanding the city of Chicago stop the construction of a then-$95 million dollar cop academy in West Garfield Park and fund youth and communities instead. The city ultimately decided to move forward with the project, however, the lessons learned and strategies seeded would prove fruitful for future campaigns in Chicago and movements across the country. The gang unpacks how Chicago youth changed the organizing landscape and movement media supported in naming, framing, and resisting power, both forging a path to the city's current political moment. BrownTown and guests compare and contrast the struggles of the late 2010's to what our movements are up against in this new fascist reality.

Send us a textA storm knocked out the lights at Maker's Mark, so we built a Private Select by daylight and rain, then dug into how whiskey's flavor science connects to America's past. 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.

It's another loaded episode of Bama and Bourbon with Lance Taylor from The Next Round and Aaron Suttles from Yea Alabama! The guys raise a glass of Four Roses OESK and break down Alabama's big win over LSU, what it means for the Crimson Tide's College Football Playoff push, and how Ty Simpson and Kalen DeBoer's team are preparing for a tough test this Saturday against Oklahoma's stout defense. While sipping on this smooth and spicy Four Roses single barrel, Lance and Aaron also hit the hardwood — recapping Alabama Basketball's Top 5 win over St. John's at Madison Square Garden and what it says about Nate Oats' squad early in the season.
This is the follow-up you asked for! We're back with Bourbon Community Roundtable number 112 to continue tackling the "spicy" and controversial topic of the three-tier distribution system. Last time, we were bombarded with questions in the chat, so this episode is dedicated to answering your submissions. Our panel dives into how consumers can actually help their favorite smaller brands get distribution, offering real-world advice on retailer outreach and using social media for buzz. We then dissect what massive political or economic shift would be required to see meaningful reform. Finally, we debate the powerful question: if the whole system disappeared tomorrow, who would win—the hustling craft distilleries or the heritage brands with deep pockets?. This one is packed with high-stakes debate! Show Notes: A follow-up discussion on the three-tier distribution system, specifically addressing consumer-submitted questions Actionable ways consumers can help their favorite spirits brands get distribution, including direct retailer outreach and using social media to generate buzz An explanation of LibDib as an alternative, smaller avenue to market, particularly useful for single barrel programs and single-customer orders Analysis of the necessary political or economic shifts required for meaningful three-tier system reform The argument that major change is unlikely unless a strong economic interest or consumer-driven demand (similar to Uber or the push for cannabis legalization) forces it Discussion of the potential for a parallel direct-to-consumer (DTC) shipping system for spirits, mirroring the progress made in the wine industry following the Granholme v. Heald case A deep-dive debate on which segment of the industry—"hustling" craft distilleries or heritage brands with deep pockets—would adapt faster if the three-tier system were to disappear The argument that the biggest organizations control the power dynamic and maintain the status quo to protect their existing turf Encouragement for consumers to advocate for change by reaching out to their congressmen and congresswomen Support this podcast on Patreon Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a textWe set up outside Revival Vintage Spirits and dive into how dusties drink differently, why the bar's pour sizes encourage smarter tasting, and what it means to make rare bottles accessible without the velvet rope. A 1992 Maker's Mark goes head to head with a current bottle, a basement trove of 1946 Dowling surfaces, and plans for Bourbon Festival week unfold with an open invite to join the afterparty.• moving from 600 to 8,000 square feet with a two-floor concept• daily deals, quarter-ounce and half-ounce pours, fair pricing• Maker's Mark 1992 versus modern tasting insights• mellow profiles in dusties versus sharpness in newer releases• try-before-you-buy upstairs bottle shop model• Dowling 1946 discovery story and historical sourcing• Covington's bar ecosystem and community-first mindset• afterparty plans during Kentucky Bourbon Festival• changing Kentucky's vintage spirits law to expand access• how to follow updates on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and TikTokMake sure that you like, listen, and subscribe. Check us out Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, X, and also on the podcast formats of Apple, iHeart and Spotify. Make sure that you drink responsibly, don't drink and drive.A sidewalk setup, cigars in hand, and a bar that treats history like something you can actually sip—tonight we camp out at Revival Vintage Spirits in Covington with Brad Bond and the crew to explore why old whiskey often drinks softer, where rare bottles hide in plain sight, and how to taste like a billionaire without paying like one. We go from a 600-square-foot origin story to an 8,000-square-foot playground split between a downstairs bar and an upstairs bottle shop, then roll straight into a side-by-side Maker's Mark comparison: a 1992 “old style sour mash” versus a current bottle. Expect talk of vanilla, butterscotch, proof, and the surprising ways production choices from the 80s and 90s shape what's in your glass today.The night's big reveal is part treasure hunt, part time capsule. A judge buys a century-old house in Maysville and finds a room under the stairs stuffed with spirits, including fourteen Dowling bottles distilled in 1941 and bottled in 1946. Brad breaks down the brand's lineage, Louisville sourcing, and Bardstown bottling, then pours the proof at the bar so you can taste before you buy—no museum vibes, no velvet rope. We also talk quarter-ounce pours, vintage cocktails, and a membership that lets fans cherry-pick new arrivals before they hit the floor.All of this leads to a bigger mission: making vintage spirits accessible. Revival posts daily deals on Instagram and Facebook, welcomes beer and wine drinkers, and collaborates with neighboring bars to keep the scene thriving. There's a Kentucky Bourbon Festival panel on the calendar and an open invite to an afterparty in Elizabethtown, where a 1966 Old Forester will make a cameo. If you've ever wondered whether dusties are worth the chase—or just want a smarter way to explore—pull up a chair and taste along with us.Enjoyed the conversation?

The blog postIn this episode of Lean Blog Audio, Mark Graban reads and reflects on his post “Fred Noe of Jim Beam: Leadership Lessons on Mistakes, Innovation, and Long-Term Thinking.”What can a seventh-generation master distiller teach us about leadership, experimentation, and learning from mistakes? Quite a lot, as it turns out. Drawing on two in-person encounters with Fred Noe—at the Jim Beam Distillery in Clermont, Kentucky, and at a Bourbon Society event—Mark shares timeless lessons from a leader who practices Lean principles without ever using the jargon.Fred's stories about 4,000-gallon “small batch” experiments, revisiting brown rice Bourbon years later, and guiding his son Freddie through failed blends show how humility, patience, and long-term vision create both great whiskey and great organizations.
im and Todd sit down for their annual "Bourbon on the Banks" wrap-up show, joined by two key figures behind the successful event, Diane Strong and Renee True. As longtime listeners and friends of the show, Diane and Renee dive deep into a "postmortem" of the 2025 festival, discussing its record-breaking successes, logistical challenges, and plans for the future, all while tasting a couple of the event's exclusive barrel picks. The tasting kicks off with the Pursuit United Bourbon on the Banks Pick, a 108-proof bourbon finished with a unique tobacco stave. Todd, Diane, and Renee, who were all part of the large selection team, reflect on their choice, noting that the crowd-pleasing "sweet" and "smooth" profile made it a winner. The pour is rich with notes of sweet pipe tobacco, caramel, and a distinct chocolaty, candy-like quality. The group discusses the massive success of the festival's single-barrel pick program, which featured 11 or 12 different selections this year. Many, like the Bluegrass and Chicken Cock picks, sold out quickly. They also highlight the "rock star" quality of the picking teams, which often included a mix of industry professionals and highly knowledgeable consumers, ensuring a high standard across the board. Diane and Renee share insights into the festival's record-breaking year. The Friday night VIP event, which celebrated "Women in Bourbon," was a huge success. The event's auction was a standout, raising over $22,000 for local charities. Attendance for the main festival hit a new high, selling out a full month in advance and welcoming over 300 more attendees than the previous year. The tiered ticket structure (Special Access, Early Access, General Admission, and Twilight) was successful, and due to positive feedback, the event may be extended by an hour in 2026. The second pour comes with a fantastic backstory: the Dark Arts Bourbon on the Banks 2024 Pick. Due to a distributor mix-up, this 7.5-year-old bourbon, finished in Tokai wine casks, was mistakenly absent from the 2024 festival. The bottles were held in a warehouse for a year and finally made their debut at the 2025 event. Jim, Todd, and Renee—who also selected this barrel—revisit their 113.24-proof pick, praising it as "dessert in a glass" with decadent notes of fig, sweet caramel, and deep, rich oak. The conversation covers the entire weekend, from the positive feedback on the Thursday night "Whiskey Thieves Kickoff" and "Bourbon Street on Broadway" to the packed after-party. A major logistical victory for 2025 was the permanent relocation of the local farmer's market, which previously conflicted with setup. This new freedom will allow the festival to start earlier next year. They also discuss attendee feedback, such as requests for lanyards and a mobile app, and the great community response to inviting more social media influencers and YouTubers to cover the event, which Diane notes helps shine a light on the smaller, craft distilleries that make the festival unique. Be sure to check out our private Facebook group, "The Bourbon Roadies" for a great group of bourbon loving people. You will be welcomed with open arms!

Blue Run is back with one of its wildest experiments yet: Glimmer, a Kentucky straight bourbon finished in Barr Hill Tom Cat Gin barrels and dressed in a flashy, color-shifting bottle. Kenny and Ryan dive into the nose, taste, and finish of this limited 103.2-proof release to find out if gin and bourbon can actually work together. Fewer than 90 cases exist, so let's see if Glimmer is worth the hunt or just a shiny distraction.DISCLAIMER: The whiskey in this review was provided to us at no cost courtesy of the spirit producer.

Each bottle represents a unique blend, carefully curated and finished to deliver a rich and memorable experience. Volume 2 Includes: Flipside Triplewood Bourbon features Guitar Shorty, an incredible blues artist who we lost in 2022. Bob Dylan once said that "Shorty played guitar with everything but his hands." His performances were electrifying. This blend of straight Kentucky bourbons is aged in new charred American Oak barrels and then finished in a mix of new and used toasted French and American oak barrels. 4-7 years old 75% corn, 21% rye, 4% malted barley. Finished for 2-3 months. DOUBLE GOLD at SF World Spirits Competition. Hard Pressed Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon features Cordell Jackson, one of the originators of rockabilly and early rock 'n' roll in Memphis. In the 1950s, she owned her own record studio, recorded her own music, and pressed her own vinyl, which was unheard of for a female. 100 proof. Aged for four years 80% corn, 10% rye, 10% malted barley. RIOT Double Bonded Rye features punk group The Darts and is meant to inject something totally different into the whiskey aisle. Its hot pink and black artwork stands out against a sea of green labels in the Rye whiskey section. It's the first-ever Double Bonded Rye, meaning a blend of two Bottled-in-Bond ryes from two different distilleries, MGP and Bardstown Bourbon Company. 4-7 years old 95% rye, 5% malted barley. Gold medal at SF World Spirits Competition. Un-Edited features the singer of Purple Disturbance, an Australian band. The picture just had so much raw energy that it was the perfect fit for our uncut, unfiltered 118-proof bourbon. 4 yr TN (80/10/10), 6 yr IN (75/21/4), 7 year KY (75/21/4). Gold medal at SF World Spirits Competition Strange Collab features Neil Giraldo, shredding away next to his friend and bandmate, Rick Derringer. This one is the only Pinot Noir finished bourbon on the market today. It started as a one-off collaboration for charity and has since won awards and received 90+ point scores. The back label features Johnny Strange, an adventurer with close ties to Neil, who died far too young. A portion of the proceeds go to the Johnny Strange Foundation. 4-7 years old, 75% corn, 21% rye, 4% malted barley. Finished for 3-4 months in Strange Family Vineyards' Pinot Noir barrels.

On this episode of Chill Filtered, Cole and Bryan sip a well-aged bourbon out of Bardstown, Kentucky: Penelope Estate Collection Founder's Reserve 13-Year Bourbon. Before digging into the pour, they chat about old wedding planning memories, hard ciders, and why 13 might just be the luckiest aging number in bourbon. On Whiskey World News, Bryan reads an article about Jack Daniel's bringing back the 3.75-liter bottle — the first time it's been offered since Prohibition. And on What Whiskey Would You Choose?, the boys ask: What's your favorite always-available, always-under-$30 whiskey — and would you buy a 3.75L bottle of it if you could? A fun pour, some nostalgia, and a supersized whiskey debate — tune in!

Here's a story that goes from the vineyards of Australia to the front lines of the military, and suddenly lands right in bourbon country. Today we're joined by Greg Keeley, the founder and distiller of Larrikin Bourbon Company. Greg's background is wild: He's taking us through his early days in the Margaret River wine industry and his incredible 22-year career in the military, explaining how those very different experiences shaped his philosophy on whiskey. Greg recounts the path that took him from military life in Washington, D.C., to the hemp industry, and then—in a move fueled by pure passion—to founding his own bourbon company. We finally figure out what the name "Larrikin," stands for and how that translates to what the brand tries to achieve. We get candid about the major challenges of launching a brand, including the rebranding from Lawrenceburg Bourbon Company along with being a small fish in a big pond. Show Notes: Introduction to Greg Keeley and his journey from Australia to the US Growing up in Margaret River: Surfer, wine enthusiast, and military life Transition from military service to working in Washington, D.C. The serendipitous shift to bourbon: From hemp to Larrikin Bourbon Meaning and significance of the term "Larrikin" The rebranding process from Lawrenceburg Bourbon Company to Larrikin Overcoming the challenges of launching a new brand within tight time constraints The supportive community in the bourbon industry and reflections on quality craft Future aspirations for Larrikin Bourbon and maintaining authenticity Anecdotes from Greg's military life and how they inform his business ethos Support this podcast on Patreon Learn more about your ad choices.
