Wild Turkey asked Buffalo Trace for help. Buffalo Trace said, “Sure, we'll use your recipe... but we're gonna do it our way.” Fourteen years later, Wild Turkey tasted the final product and basically said, “Yeah, this ain't it.” What followed is a bourbon hand-me-down saga involving secret barrels, shady brokers, inflated secondary prices, and a bunch of bottles now floating around under a lot of different labels.Was this a rare collectible masterpiece—or just a $3,500 accident?In this episode of The Spill, Matt, Jason, and special guest Kendra dive into the infamous Buff Turkey debacle, tasting the whiskey, unpacking the shady labeling, and debating whether this whole thing was a smart pivot or bourbon dumpster fire.

This episode was recorded in Fort Wayne, Indiana, during the 2025 Tri-State Dairy Conference. Dr. Grant gives an overview of his presentation at the conference, highlighting cow time budgets and the importance of natural cow behavior to health, welfare and productivity. The impacts of overcrowding, including rumen pH and de novo fatty acid synthesis, are a key component of his message. (7:07)Eating, resting and ruminating are the big three behaviors we've studied for decades. In addition to their obvious importance to cow welfare, they have a real health and performance effect. Dr. Grant suggests the recumbent rumination - just lying down and chewing her cud - is really the cow's superpower. Cows with the same rumination time who accomplish more while lying down have less subacute ruminal acidosis, greater dry matter intake, and higher fat and protein content in their milk. It all boils down to the balance between eating time and recumbent rumination time. (12:15)The panel discusses the definition of overcrowding. Spoiler alert: it depends. (15:50)Clay asks Rick if overcrowding of beds or feed bunks is more important. The easy answer is both, but Rick acknowledges he'd say beds if he were pushed for an answer. Resting is a yes or no; she's either lying down or she's not. From the feed bunk perspective, a cow can alter her behavior to a point for adjusting to overcrowding - eat faster, change her meal patterns, etc. A hungry cow will walk by the feed to recoup lost rest time. Cows should be comfortable enough to spend at least 90% of their rumination time lying down. (17:50)Dr. Grant thinks of overcrowding as a subclinical stressor. A cow has different “accounts” for different activities: lactation, health, reproduction, etc., as well as a reserve account. To combat the subclinical stress of overcrowding, a cow uses her reserve account, but that's hard to measure. If the reserve account gets depleted and another stressor comes along, the overcrowded pens are going to show greater impacts. The panel brainstormed ideas for how to better measure a cow's reserve account. (19:39)Clays asks if overcrowding is affecting culling rates. The panel assumes it has to be, though no one can point to a study. Dr. Grant notes there is data from France that shows decreased longevity in cows who don't get enough rest, which is a hallmark of overcrowding. Given the low heifer inventory, the panel muses if the industry ought to pay more attention to the culling impacts of overcrowding and have a more dynamic approach to evaluating stocking density as market and farm conditions shift. (25:10)Bill asks about nutritional and management strategies to reduce the stress of overcrowding. Rick notes that overcrowding tends to make the rumen a bit more touchy, so he talks about formulating diets with appropriate amounts of physically effective fiber, undigested NDF, rumen-fermentable starch, and particle size. (29:21)Dr. Grant talks about the differences in rumination when a cow is lying down versus standing. The panel discusses cow comfort, preferred stalls, and first-calf heifer behavior in mixed-age groups with and without overcrowding. Bill and Rick agree that having a separate pen for first-calf heifers on overcrowded farms would benefit those heifers. Dr. Michael comments on evaluating air flow and venting on-farm. (33:49)The panel wraps up the episode with their take-home thoughts.

For this week's short, we head deep into the rickhouses and distilleries to explore another bourbon that was nearly forgotten about. When rare whiskies or bourbons are lost, Diageo helps get them back to their intended place with their Orphan Barrel series. The newest release in the Orphan Barrel series is Fanged Pursuit Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. This bourbon is aged 17 years and has a "variable" mashbill of 68%-74% corn, 19%-22% rye, and 19% malted barley. So how does this one taste? Could this be one of the best Orphan Barrels ever? You'll have to join us to find out. --------------------------SocialsIG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupkyFB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupkyTW: https://twitter.com/themashupkyPartnership(s)Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUPVisit https://woodworkcollective.shop and enter code MASHUP for a 15% discount on your orderMusic: All the Fixings by Zachariah HickmanThank you so much for listening!

Send us a textThe economics of whiskey pricing involves numerous factors that determine why bourbon costs what it does, from physical aspects of aging to market demands and consumer preferences.• Quality and quantity are fundamental considerations in whiskey pricing• Age significantly impacts cost due to taxes, warehouse space, and liquid loss through evaporation• Temperature fluctuations affect yield as cold weather expands barrels pushing liquid outward while heat contracts wood drawing whiskey into staves• Barrel strength whiskeys command higher prices because they aren't diluted, resulting in fewer bottles from the same amount of aged spirit• Many distilleries have increased prices to capture value that was previously going to secondary market resellers• Despite fears of a "bourbon glut," most established distilleries report strong sales with new operations continuing to open• American whiskey prices have generally remained stable or decreased slightly over recent months according to store comparison research• Family-owned operations like Old Louisville Whiskey Company focus on quality over quantity• The Old Louisville 17-year bourbon (141 proof) scored a perfect 18/18 on the tasting scale• Premium whiskeys with high price tags often accurately reflect the investment, time, expertise and limited quantity involvedJoin us for our upcoming bus tour where we'll be visiting Old Louisville Whiskey Company and meeting Amin Caroud in person.The mysterious world of whiskey pricing unfolds as we explore the complex economics behind what makes your favorite bourbon cost $30 or $300. Beyond marketing hype, we reveal the genuine factors distilleries consider when setting prices in today's competitive spirits landscape.Every drop of aged whiskey comes with hidden costs. When distilleries age spirit for extended periods, they're making a significant investment – paying yearly taxes, managing warehouse space, and accepting substantial liquid loss. A 53-gallon barrel might yield only 20 gallons after 15 years due to the "angel's share" and wood absorption. Temperature fluctuations further complicate matters, as cold weather expands barrels pushing liquid outward, while heat contracts wood drawing whiskey deeper into staves, affecting both flavor development and final yield.The bourbon market has evolved dramatically in recent years. Despite fears of a "bourbon glut," most established distilleries report strong sales with new operations continuing to open throughout Kentucky. Our price comparison research at local stores confirmed American whiskey prices have generally remained stable or even decreased slightly, contradicting inflation concerns. Meanwhile, premium offerings have seen strategic price increases as distilleries recapture value previously lost to secondary markets – Russell's Reserve 13 Year jumped from $80 to $190 in just three releases.The episode culminates with a spectacular tasting of Old Louisville Whiskey Company's 17-year bourbon bottled at a hazmat-level 141 proof. This family-owned operation exemplifies the passion-driven side of the industry, where Amine and Beth Karaoud's commitment to quality over quantity produces truly exceptional whiskeys. The expression earns a perfect 18/18 score, with particular praise for its "cinnamon toast crunch" nose, thick viscosity, and maple syrup flavors balanced with well-integrated oak.Wh If You Have Gohsts 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/

Take a sip of liquid history as the B-Team dives deep into the forgotten world of vintage bourbon with special guest Stephen Mansfield (Instagram: @DustyWhiskeyHunter). What started as a casual conversation quickly transforms into a fascinating exploration of America's whiskey past through rare "dusties" – bourbon produced primarily before the 1960s that tastes remarkably different from modern spirits.Stephen guides us through the post-Prohibition era when distilleries faced a surprising problem: too much aged bourbon and not enough buyers. As American drinkers shifted to vodka and clear spirits in the 50s and 60s, bourbon makers created elaborate decorative decanters – from chess pieces to figurines – marketed as collectibles rather than for their contents. Today, these forgotten vessels often contain liquid treasures that reveal how dramatically bourbon production has changed.The highlight comes when Stephen shares his recent discovery of over 1,000 vintage decanters in an Arkansas collector's basement – six shelves high around every wall. As we sample an 8-year Lionstone and 10-year Old Crow from his collection, the differences from modern bourbon become immediately apparent: deeper mahogany colors, pronounced leather and tobacco notes, more minerality, and complex wood sugars that create unique tasting experiences.But what exactly makes these dusties so distinctive? Stephen explains three key differences: less filtered water with natural minerals, barrels made from older trees with tighter growth rings, and proprietary yeast strains that distilleries once kept under lock and key. Together, these practices created bourbons with depth and character that modern production methods – focused on efficiency rather than maximizing flavor – simply can't replicate.Whether you're a bourbon enthusiast, history buff, or simply curious about America's distilling heritage, this episode offers a rare glimpse into flavors and production methods largely lost to time.

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 episode was recorded in Reno, Nevada, during the 2025 Western Dairy Management Conference. The panel is reviewing a presentation given by Dr. Rick Grant, who was unable to be on the podcast. The presentation was based on the idea that crowding is a subclinical presence. If you manage it with people and resources, a dairy can do very well. But if something happens in that crowded situation, like a disease or heat stress, it can tip performance over the edge. Evaluating time budgets for cows can allow for the identification of places to improve. Beds are vitally important. If a cow doesn't have a bed due to crowding then she's not lying down, chewing her cud, which is what allows her to be as efficient as possible. (3:19)Jason thinks about time budgets as a tool for managing stress. Jim agrees and notes that crowding is part of every cow's day, but we can manage to minimize that time in most instances. Jason and Jim talk about some of their approaches to evaluating crowding when they work with a dairy, and where pain points are often located. (5:57)Jason liked Dr. Grant's takeaway message that the cow doesn't necessarily care she's overcrowded as long as she has a bed she doesn't have to fight for and room at the feed bunk she doesn't have to fight for. He describes a very successful client who is overcrowded, but everything else is managed well. All other stressors have been removed, so the only stressor remaining is the overcrowding. But when additional stressors compound crowding, then dairies experience issues. He adds there is a huge opportunity for error when feeding to slick bunks in an overcrowding situation. (16:15)Jim talks about different measures of efficiency. Is it milk per cow, milk per free stall, milk per parlor stall, or milk per pen? He thinks the real answer is “it depends,” and the answer might be different for each dairy. Jason notes that the bank wants to see assets on a balance sheet, and the cows are the assets. (19:24)The group discusses geographical differences in overcrowding. Jim's observations show crowding increases as one moves east in the US. Tom agrees and notes 20-30% of the available stalls are in his part of the world. Overcrowded cows eat faster, and this impacts rumen efficiency, probably leading to lower de novo fatty acid synthesis and overall lower components. The panel talks about whether or not there is such a thing as an “overcrowding ration.”(20:59)The panel relays some real-world examples of crowding where dairies would cull cows to decrease milk production, but production would remain the same because the cows were now less crowded. They talk more about other management strategies that need to be on point if a dairy is going to overcrowd. (27:50)The panel wraps up with their take-home thoughts for dairy producers and nutritionists. Jim and Jason share their contact information with the audience.
