In this episode of The Bourbon Life Podcast, Mark and Matt welcome Barry and Tori Brinegar into The Bourbon Life Studios for a conversation that's equal parts bourbon history, industry insight, and good-natured chaos. Barry is well known across the whiskey world as the former Co-Founder and National Brand Ambassador of RD1 Spirits, and he's joined by his wife Tori—affectionately known around here as the First Lady of Bourbon. Across three segments, the guys dig into Barry's journey through the bourbon industry, the founding and growth of RD1, and what life looks like after stepping away from a brand he helped build from the ground up. Barry shares behind-the-scenes stories from the road as a brand ambassador, lessons learned building a bourbon company, and a few tales that probably shouldn't be repeated—but thankfully were anyway. Tori jumps in with her perspective on life in the bourbon world, keeping Barry grounded, and what it's really like being married to a guy whose job revolves around whiskey. As always, the pours are flowing and the reviews are honest. This episode features tastings of: Henry McKenna 10 Year Bottled in Bond Stagg Jr. Batch 12 Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Barrel Proof Rye There's plenty of laughter, a few strong opinions, and a whole lot of great bourbon conversation in this one. Pull up a chair, pour yourself something neat, and enjoy a fun, candid sit-down with one of bourbon's most recognizable personalities—and the woman who keeps him in line. This Episode is sponsored by District 7 and The Kitchen Table at the James B. Beam Distilling Co.
It's time for another Bourbon Community Roundtable, and the panel is locked, loaded, and ready to talk about the one number that drives every enthusiast crazy: The Proof. We look at how we all start with those easy-drinking, low-proof staples like Kentucky Tavern before eventually finding ourselves chasing the high-octane allure of barrel-strength pours. We even get into some fun hypotheticals—if you could sample the same bourbon at every proof point from barrel to 80, how would that change your understanding of your favorite brand? Whether you're a 90-proof purist or a barrel-strength junkie, we're breaking down why the best bottle on your shelf is ultimately the one that tastes the best to you. Is the industry pushing proof too far, or have we finally found the sweet spot? We're debating it all. Show Notes: Evolution of bourbon drinking from low proof to high proof Insights into how proof affects whiskey blending and flavor Discussion on consumer perception of barrel-proof vs. proofed-down expressions Exploration of notable brands and their proof characteristics Fun hypotheticals regarding proof sampling experiences Final thoughts on the importance of proof in the bourbon journey Learn more about your ad choices.

Dans l'histoire de France, peu de souverains offrent un contraste aussi saisissant entre jeunesse dissolue et destin royal que Charles X of France, connu avant son accession au trône sous le titre de comte d'Artois. Avant d'incarner l'un des derniers rois de la monarchie française, il fut en effet l'un des princes les plus libertins de la cour de Versailles.Né en 1757, dernier petit-fils de Louis XV et frère cadet du futur Louis XVI, le comte d'Artois grandit dans un univers où luxe, privilèges et plaisirs constituent le quotidien. Très tôt, il se forge une réputation de prince dépensier, amateur de fêtes, de jeux d'argent et d'aventures galantes. À Versailles, son nom devient synonyme de légèreté, voire d'irresponsabilité. Il accumule les dettes et multiplie les liaisons, au point d'inquiéter régulièrement la famille royale.Ce goût prononcé pour les plaisirs n'est pas anodin. Il reflète l'esprit d'une partie de l'aristocratie finissante, déconnectée des réalités sociales et économiques du royaume. Tandis que les finances de l'État se dégradent et que le mécontentement populaire monte, le comte d'Artois continue d'incarner une noblesse insouciante, symbole, pour beaucoup, des excès de l'Ancien Régime.Lorsque éclate la Révolution française en 1789, il fait partie des premiers princes à quitter la France. Hostile à toute concession envers les révolutionnaires, il s'exile et passe plus de vingt ans à errer à travers l'Europe, cherchant sans relâche à obtenir l'aide des monarchies étrangères pour restaurer la royauté. Durant cet exil, son image évolue : le libertin frivole se transforme progressivement en défenseur acharné de la monarchie et de la tradition.Le retour en France se fait en 1814, avec la chute de Napoléon et la restauration des Bourbons. Son frère Louis XVIII monte sur le trône, et le comte d'Artois devient l'héritier. À la mort de Louis XVIII en 1824, contre toute attente, l'ancien prince noceur devient roi sous le nom de Charles X.Mais le contraste est frappant : celui qui fut un libertin notoire adopte désormais une posture ultra-conservatrice. Profondément attaché à la religion, il cherche à restaurer l'autorité de l'Église, à renforcer le pouvoir royal et à effacer l'héritage révolutionnaire. Cette politique rigide l'isole rapidement d'une société française qui a profondément changé.En 1830, ses ordonnances autoritaires provoquent une insurrection à Paris : la Révolution de Juillet. Charles X est contraint d'abdiquer et part une nouvelle fois en exil.Ainsi, le comte d'Artois demeure une figure paradoxale : libertin flamboyant devenu roi rigoriste, symbole à la fois des excès de l'Ancien Régime et de l'incapacité de la monarchie restaurée à comprendre son époque. Une trajectoire qui résume, à elle seule, le crépuscule de la royauté française. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.
Send a textGregg Snyder Master distiller of 4 Branches Bourbon and Tiny trace bourbon's cycle from the late 1970s decline to today's surplus, explaining why growth leveled, not crashed. Along the way we unpack ownership shifts, the rise of sourcing and blending, oak supply myths, and why premium whiskey still holds strong.• market cycles from decline to correction• Seagram's consolidation and Four Roses ownership story• global demand shaping U.S. bourbon strategy• sourcing as a smart model in surplus eras• blending for unique profiles beyond single distilleries• shelf signals: pricing pressure and broader choice• cooperages, white oak supply, and forest management• culture shifts, Covid impact, and cannabis competition• premium demand resilience versus brand saturation• practical outlook for producers and consumersRemember www.scotchybourbonboys.com for all things Scotchy Bourbon Boys, Glencairns, t‑shirtsWe are on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, X, TikTok, and PatreonMake sure that you become members, subscribe, join us on PatreonWe are on Apple, iHeart, and SpotifyLeave us good feedback, give us five‑star reviews on Apple and all the good stuffBourbon isn't crashing—it's correcting. We sit down with a veteran who started at Seagram's in 1978 to chart how whiskey moved from a slow decline to a record barrel surplus and what that means for prices, sourcing, and the future of premium. From Four Roses' winding path through global owners to Gallo's next play, we unpack how stewardship and team culture, not just corporate logos, shape the whiskey in your glass. And we get honest about the boom years: allocations, tight stocks, and why so many new brands emerged on sourced juice when Kentucky couldn't meet demand.What's different now? Capacity spread beyond Kentucky, with Indiana's Ross & Squibb anchoring a new era of reliable supply while craft distilleries in Ohio and beyond scaled up. With more mature barrels available, blending becomes a creative frontier: rye spice meeting wheated softness, age layered over freshness, finishes that refine rather than hide. Our guest breaks down the business math too—why not every label needs a nine‑figure distillery when great whiskey can be curated with integrity and bottled at fair prices.We also tackle the oak question. Cooperage orders cooled, but white oak isn't vanishing; forest inventories and longer growth cycles tell a healthier story. On the consumer side, shelves are widening, fewer bottles are hidden behind the counter, and value is re‑entering the chat. Premium bourbon still carries real demand, but hype alone won't carry weak liquid. If you care about where whiskey goes next—pricing, availability, craftsmanship, and the rise of blending as an art—this conversation gives you a clear map for the next chapter.If you enjoyed this deep dive, follow the show, leave a five‑star review, and share with a friend who's hunting their next great pour.voice over Whiskey Thief Add for SOFLSupport the showhttps://www.scotchybourbonboys.com The Scotchy bourbon Boys are #3 in Feedspots Top 60 whiskey podcasts in the world https://podcast.feedspot.com/whiskey_podcasts/

Coming off our "best of" episode, we decided to celebrate Fat Tuesday a little early. Twice previously on the podcast, we tasted Smooth Ambler Founders' Cask Strength Bourbon (at 6 years and 8 years old). We'd like to thank a great listener (Patrick) for sending us the 9yr version of this of this bourbon. For this weeks short, we taste this new bottle against the 8yr version and the results are kind of shocking. We also taste a blind sample and stuff our faces with some King Cake courtesy of Caleb C.

AT&T Preview | Brandel vs. Phil | Bad Bunny Maye Superbowl | Vonn Crash | Jordan Hudson Spa ShirtIn this episode, we chat about the Super Bowl, discussing the halftime show, betting wins, and the cultural impact of music and sports. Bad Bunny was very controversial going into the game. Did he deliver the goods. Cal chats through his favorite half-time show performances. Drake Maye had a horrible post season this year. Could he be hurt? How do we think the Patriots will do in 2026-27? Patrick Reed has been on fire on the DP World Tour. He is an easy early lean for the Masters. Lindsey Vonn thought she was going to have a Tiger at Torrey moment in the winter games with a torn ACL, but had a terrible crash on Sunday. It appears that Travis Kelce is trying to be the next golf celebrity Pro-Am lock. He had a birdie on 16 at the WM Pro-AM last week and did the Happy Gilmore bull dance around the green. Did Bad Bunny have an impact on the NFL and music. Apparently Taylor Swift is recording her entire catalogue in spanish to spark growth under her new name Evil Rabbit. Bill Belechick's girlfriend Jordan Hudson sparked controversy this weekend with her Orchids of Asia tshirt she was sporting at a Superbowl party in support of the coach. The dig at Robert Kraft was apparently due to the hall of fame snub last week. On the show they explore the significance of cocktail garnishes, the dynamics of NFL injuries, and the traditions of Super Bowl parties. The conversation shifts to rap music's influence, highlights from golf tournaments, and the upcoming AT&T Pro-Am, while also touching on celebrity appearances and their effects on sports events. In this engaging conversation, Cal and Dan delve into the world of golf betting, analyzing player performances, odds, and strategies for upcoming tournaments. They share humorous anecdotes, discuss pop culture references, and recommend comedy specials, creating a lively and entertaining dialogue that blends sports insights with light-hearted banter.Chapters00:00Super Bowl Reflections03:00Cocktail Garnishes and Game Changers05:57Bad Bunny's Halftime Show09:05Cultural Impact and Music Trends12:02Super Bowl Party Experiences14:57Diversity in Music and Entertainment17:55Golf and Betting Insights20:58The Waste Management Tournament26:56Golf Predictions and Commentary30:04Brandel Chamblee and the Players Championship36:05Celebrity Influence in Golf39:59Betting Insights and Predictions50:57Fun Segments and Personal Stories54:54Diverse Business Ventures57:01Family and Legacy in Business01:00:02Golf Insights and Predictions01:02:58Entertainment and Media Discussions01:08:01Comedy Specials and RecommendationsApparel for the show provided by turtleson.

In this Episode of The Bourbon Life Podcast, Matt and Mark spend some time in The Bourbon Life Studios with April Catron, Brand Ambassador, and Junior Cecil, Co-Founder/Owner, of Southern Kentucky Distillery. The guys talk with April and Junior about their respective backgrounds and how they each ended up in the Bourbon industry, the story of how Southern Kentucky Distillery was created from a passion for making moonshine and their unique process that involves Cherrywood, and the success that this relatively young distillery has already had with its releases and its inclusion on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail and the Kentucky Moonshine Trail. They also taste and review quite a few expressions from Kentucky Southern Distillery including their Turby's Kentucky Cherrywood Wheated Bourbon at 90 Proof and 106 Cask Strength, their soon to be released Turby's Kentucky Cherrywood Rye Mashbill Bourbon at 90 Proof and 108.2 Cask Strength, and their only sourced product, Long Ridge High Rye Kentucky Straight Bourbon. There may have also been some moonshine and other goodies poured up in between too. This Episode is sponsored by District 7 and The Kitchen Table at the James B. Beam Distilling Co.
What if a bourbon under $50 could deliver the depth, texture, and decadence you'd expect from a $200 bottle? In this episode, we uncover a true sleeper hit: ASW Fiddler Toasted, a high-wheat mash bill bourbon finished for 26 months in toasted oak that punches far above its age and price.At just six years old, this whiskey defies expectations. We dive deep into why its 80% high-wheat mash bill and toasted barrel finish unlock layers of flavor most people associate with far older bourbon. From a surprising citrus-forward nose to rich waves of toffee, vanilla, marshmallow, black tea, leather, and herbal notes, this pour proves that toasted bourbon doesn't have to taste one-dimensional.You'll hear how batch variation adds personality to each release, why the proof and balance make it an ideal winter sipper, and how thoughtful finishing can create maturity without decades in the rickhouse. This episode isn't just tasting notes—it's a practical guide to spotting bourbons that deliver luxury-level experience at an accessible price.If you love discovering bottles that overdeliver, elevate your home bar, and reward curiosity, this is one episode you don't want to miss.Subscribe

Send us a textWhen it comes to bourbon, higher proof often gets all the hype — but that doesn't mean lower proof means lower flavor.In this episode of Bottles & Bites Without Borders, I'm sharing 7 bourbons under 100 proof that I regularly reach for as my “warm-up pour.” These are the bottles that help ease your palate into a tasting session, acclimate your body to the alcohol, and set the stage before jumping into higher proof pours.Everyone reacts to alcohol differently. For some, diving straight into 120+ proof can overwhelm the palate and mute subtle flavors. A well-chosen sub-100 proof bourbon can open things up, highlight nuance, and still deliver depth, character, and complexity.And let's be clear — lower proof doesn't automatically mean lower flavor. Some of these bottles punch way above their weight.In this episode, we'll talk about:Why easing into higher proof makes a differenceHow proof impacts flavor perceptionWhat makes a great “starter pour”And the 7 under-100 proof bourbons I personally keep in rotationWhether you're building your home bar or just want smarter tasting sessions, this one's for you.Until next time, keep exploring the world — one bottle at a time.

Spoiler: we score it 17 out of 18, and the reasons come down to texture, balance, and a flavor profile that feels like the house style in high definition.We start with the story behind President's Choice, a modern revival of George Garvin Brown II's 1964 private barrel tradition that has evolved from distillery-only drops to limited retailer allocations. This Ohio release set the stage for a deep dive into what matters: a nose that opens with ripe banana, soft vanilla, and warm baking spice; a body with real weight and oil that carries flavor without harshness; and a palate that moves from candy banana and vanilla cream into pepper, cinnamon sugar, and flaky pie crust richness. The finish is medium and composed, sweet-to-spice with a light hug that invites another pour.Beyond tasting notes, we talk value and audience. At roughly $280 MSRP and a much higher secondary, who should buy this bottle? Our take: loyal Old Forester fans and serious drinkers will find a special-occasion pour that actually delivers. We compare it to standouts like 1920 and Birthday Bourbon, explain why this barrel feels like the brand's profile “on steroids,” and call out where it falls just short—mainly a finish that could run longer. There's also life on the mics: health updates, community shout‑outs, and a preview of our next guest, veteran blender and distiller Greg Schneider.If you're deciding whether to line up, trade, or pass, this breakdown gives you the clarity you need.

Send us a textI've been trying to find this bourbon for a while, folks. No, seriously. Years ago, I was told of a bourbon that was 4 years old, brand new, and held promise for the future of the industry as we know it. Have you heard of it? Well, funny enough, I've heard this story over and over again, and it's lead to successes unheard of on so many occasions. But, here we are, facing down the barrel of the potential next big kid to be featured in your home bar. Jackson Purchase, out of Western Kentucky, is helmed by two veteran Kentucky Bourbon distillers who are ready to make a name for themselves and are bringing the heat with the first release of their new brand. It's time to take it to the paint and discuss what makes it work and where things can go from here.

We found a bourbon that claims it's aged in a historic railroad boxcar turned “rolling rickhouse”, so of course we had to taste it. Black Diamond (103 proof, $58) brings big chocolate-covered cherry energy with a creamy, candy-box palate, but the finish splits the room. Is train-car aging genius, gimmick, or the future?DISCLAIMER: The whiskey in this review was provided to us at no cost courtesy of the spirit producer.
