You've heard us mention the good folks at Jackson's Wine & Spirits many times on our podcast. For this week's short, we taste and review a new RD1 Bourbon Pick called "Bubble Gum Delight" that recently hit the shelves at Jackson's. Clocking in at 6 years and 116.8 proof, this bourbon packs some flavor. However, we also experimented with this one a bit and the results were quite surprising. --------------------------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!

Mike & Janell BassTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Mike and Janell Bass. Mike & Janell are the creative team behind the new canned cocktail sensation Pony Boy Slings. In this episode, we get to know these two crazy kids. They tell the story of their journey from different parts of the country, to end up meeting in Louisville, Kentucky during, and because of the Covid 19 pandemic. Janell shares some of her backstory as a voiceover actress for video games and tv shows, and an award-winning sales associate; while Mike regales us with tales of bartending, and cocktail creating for various global restaurant & bar companies. Thanks to Covid and some online dating apps, this lovely duo met and fell in love. Naturally I ask how all of this applies to their startup beverage company. Pony Boy Slings was created out of a super cool stroke of luck, and opportunity. I'm not going to spoil the story, but let's just say that there may be an angel involved! Pony Boy Slings are a line of refreshing easy to handle bourbon based carbonated canned cocktails. There are three flavors currently, and they are available all over Kentucky and Tennessee, wherever fine alcoholic beverages are sold. Check them out at DrinkPonyBoy.com and follow them on Instagram & Tik Tok.

BrownTown sits down for a follow-up conversation to earlier this year, analyzing the shock and awe strategy of the Trump-Musk aligned agenda and how we got there. Fast-forward to fall 2025, BrownTown speaks candidly on Trump's war on Chicago. While the lies and terror of ICE kidnappings, killings, and military-style raids on family housing projects color Operation Midway Blitz, Chicago fights back. More and more, the brutality and incompetence of the alphabet boys is on wide display as everyone from seasoned organizers to everyday community members hold the line and get involved in the most historically effective and creative ways. Now, with the imperial boomerang in full effect and Christian Nationalism more explicitly codified into policy after the murder of Charlie Kirk, BrownTown takes inventory of our current cultural and political moment with a sober analysis and hope for the future.

The Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 was a landmark piece of U.S. consumer protection legislation passed to combat widespread fraud in the whiskey industry during the 19th century.

This was an Instagram and YouTube Live Discussion: A police chief allegedly living out of state lit up the news cycle, but we wanted to slow down and ask better questions: What do the policies say? What are taxpayers actually paying for? And in a 24/7 profession built on phones, CAD, RTCC feeds and command calls, does a zip code define leadership—or do results?We share a candid, on-the-ground perspective from two decades in patrol, training, and the real-time crime center. You'll hear why firefighters sleeping at stations has long been normal, how some departments allow rotations with clear approvals, and where residency rules draw bright lines. Then we get practical: how FTO programs work when done right (volunteers, stipends, documented feedback), how bad habits often stem from training gaps, and why culture change starts with consistent standards and visible accountability.From there, we go deep on technology that shapes modern policing. Learn how an RTCC taps into body-worn cameras, drones, and city systems to protect officers and civilians in real time. Understand why audit logs, short retention windows, and transparent policies matter for tools like LPRs. And get a straight take on body cams: activate on dispatch, no muting, let redaction happen later. The same systems that increase power also record its use—and that's a feature, not a bug, when communities demand trust.We also tackle listener questions: what discipline looks like for camera lapses, why tech doesn't replace judgment, and how leadership presence is about availability, not street-side cameos. If you care about policy, training, technology, and the line between optics and outcomes, this conversation brings clarity without the spin.If this resonated, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review. Tell us: should a chief's location matter if the policies, audits, and performance are tight?

A mustache may grab the chat, but the story starts with something bigger: a cop-creator wins his badge back. We kick off with Officer Honey Badger's reinstatement and why it matters for transparency, policy, and the growing number of officers trying to educate the public with real footage and real analysis. From there, we sprint into the gear that actually changes outcomes—a two-pound, pocket-friendly AED that talks you through a rescue. Imagine it in every patrol car, every security fleet, even bundled by automakers and supported by insurers. Seconds save lives, and design makes seconds possible.Then the heat turns up. A lieutenant colonel refuses to roll down her window after speeding. We unpack the law you can use in the real world: what Mims allows, what Rodriguez limits, and why “reasonableness” is the backbone of good police work when the stop doesn't neatly end the moment paper hits a hand. We show how roadside transparency—like presenting a dash video on the spot—can defuse arguments and save court time. We also watch sovereign citizen scripts wilt where they always do: inside a courtroom ruled by precedent, not YouTube law.The hardest segment is a use-of-force failure you can't unsee: a taser deployed too close, a gun brought in at contact range, and a life ended without necessity. We call it straight and offer a fix that's bigger than a memo: make grappling competency a prerequisite to the badge. Wrestling, jiu-jitsu, judo—skills that keep you calm under pressure and lower force across the board. It's not about being a tough guy; it's about control, patience, and humility.To remind you why the job matters, we highlight what good looks like. Officers lift an ejected infant from beneath a rolled car and bring her back with CPR. Another cop grabs an extinguisher and smothers a man in flames, then coaches his breathing until fire arrives. A domestic with a knife turns on seconds: a door is breached, the victim and suspect are separated in a sentence, and lifesaving care follows. Through each frame, the pattern is thesend us a message! twocopsonedonut@yahoo.comPeregrine.io: Turn your worst detectives into Sherlock Holmes, head to Peregrine.io tell them Two Cops One Donut sent you or direct message me and I'll get you directly connected and skip the salesmen.Support the showPlease see our Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/c/TwoCopsOneDonut Join our Discord!! https://discord.gg/BdjeTEAc

Become a member on Facebook or YouTube, subscribe, leave good feedback, and commentWhat happens when Halloween chaos meets a bourbon with a devilish backstory? We dive into Jim Beam Devil's Cut, the whiskey that pulls trapped spirit from barrel staves and blends it back into extra-aged bourbon, then explore why it smells like vanilla extract over warm char and tastes like liquid pudding with a smoky edge. Costumes and laughs aside, we get serious about value, process, and what truly sets this bottle apart at 90 proof and under $25 in many markets.We walk through the nose, body, taste, and finish with a playful “slash” rating, then raise the stakes: a fresh 2025 crack versus a 2021 bottle that's been open for years. The side-by-side reveals how oxidation shifts the profile from vanilla-forward to caramel and toffee, adds a hint of pepper, and slightly deepens the mid-palate. Our practical takeaway is simple and useful—open Devil's Cut and let it evolve. If you love cocktails, we also highlight easy winners like Devil and Cola and Dance with the Devil that lean into its vanilla-char backbone.To round out the night, we contrast Devil's Cut's focused profile with the layered complexity of Blood Oath packs. Think approachable weeknight pour versus special-occasion blend crafted from carefully sourced barrels and finishing casks. Along the way, we share community shoutouts, membership perks, and a few outrageous Halloween surprises that keep the room buzzing.

It's time for another pour of Bama and Bourbon with Lance Taylor from The Next Round and Aaron Suttles from Yea Alabama! This week, the guys break down Alabama's dramatic come-from-behind win at South Carolina, how Ty Simpson and the Crimson Tide pulled off another clutch SEC victory, and what the team can fine-tune during the bye week before a showdown with LSU next Saturday. While they talk football, Lance and Aaron sip on Baker's High Rye 7-Year Bourbon — a bold, complex pour that matches Alabama's gritty performance in Columbia. They share tasting notes, bourbon insights, and why this bottle deserves a spot on every whiskey lover's shelf.
Is Kentucky's bourbon crown finally under threat? That's the question we're tackling today, because there is a shift happening in the world of American whiskey right now. While the Bluegrass State still has its grip on the market, the surging production in states like New York, Texas, and Colorado is raising the question: Are we seeing something that could actually rival Kentucky's dominance? We dive into the real challenges facing out-of-state distillers, discussing how community support, innovative marketing, and consistent quality are their most powerful tools but, it's an uphill battle as craft distillers try to gain recognition against the established giants. What do you think? Is the whiskey map is being redrawn? Show Notes: Kenny Coleman, Ryan Cecil, and Fred Minnick explore the emergence of regional whiskeys Discussion on the impact of local pride on market dynamics Examination of the celebrity whiskey trend and its influence on consumer choices Insights on grain selection and fermentation in diverse distilleries Success stories from regions like Iowa, Texas, and Colorado The role of branding and packaging in shaping craft whiskey's appeal The influence of competitions on the perception of whiskey quality Why Kentucky remains the gold standard in whiskey Future projections for regional whiskey brands in a changing consumer landscape Support this podcast on Patreon Learn more about your ad choices.

If you've ever stared at a $6,000 unicorn behind glass and wondered how anyone actually tastes it, you'll feel right at home here. We pull back the curtain on a thriving Bentonville bourbon scene where access comes from community, not luck, complete with a speakeasy barn, disciplined barrel selections, and a 100-member club designed to share costs, spread knowledge, and raise glasses together.Mike Hodges walks us through building a space where bottle shares and curated tastings bring people together. He breaks down the math that turns a single $150 bar pour into an evening where twenty people sample multiple legendary bottles and enjoy dinner, all while learning their palates. Then JS Bull takes the baton, detailing how he structured a legally clean, no-profit bourbon club capped at 100 members so every barrel yields at least one bottle per person. Thanks to local relationships with major distilleries, the club's first-year lineup includes Weller Full Proof, Nashville Barrel Company Honey Cask, Rock Hill Farms private selection, and an Elijah Craig Barrel Proof that snaps from cinnamon candy to elegant oak.Along the way, we get practical: how real barrel picks differ from mailed vials, why you should smell everything before tasting barrel proof, how age and warehouse floors shape flavor, and what to do when a dusty cork disintegrates mid-pour. We also talk brand profile consistency versus single barrel uniqueness, how to avoid overpaying on the secondary market, and why the best bottles are often the ones you share.Pour something you're curious about and dive in with us. If this conversation sparks ideas or makes you rethink how you chase bottles, follow the show, share it with a bourbon-loving friend, and leave a quick review so more people can find it.

Join Jim and Todd in the "ghastly" Bourbon Road bar for a special Halloween episode filled with tricks, treats, and plenty of spirits! Instead of candy, their trick-or-treat bag is filled with five unique whiskey expressions shared by friends and sourced from local stops. It's a spooky season showdown as they taste through a diverse and high-proof lineup. First, they unlock Widow Jane The Vaults 2025. This year's release is dubbed "mythological," featuring bourbon aged a minimum of 15 years and finished in unique oak casks crafted from trees harvested near Amphilochia, Greece – a region known for lightning strikes. Bottled at 99 proof, the hosts find notes of grape, salted caramel, toffee, and a unique salinity on the nose, while the palate delivers complexity that drinks its age and punches above its proof. Next, they revisit Barrel Craft Spirits with their 12-Year French Oak Finish. A blend sourced from Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, and Wyoming, and bottled at 108.5 proof, this whiskey presents a bit of a "Jekyll and Hyde." The nose offers burnt caramel, nutty, and woody notes, while the palate surprises with creamy French vanilla sweetness and just a hint of tannin from the oak. The third pour is the Bardstown Bourbon Company Maison Ferrand Finish #2. This complex blend features Kentucky bourbons aged 9, 11, and 12 years, plus a 6-year Bardstown rye whiskey, all finished for 15 months in French oak cognac casks. At 111.8 proof, it delivers an intensely decadent, desserty palate rich with black cherry, vanilla, and dark fruit syrup notes like currant or raisin, contrasting slightly with its dusty oak and grape nose. Pour number four brings gasps of excitement: the Wild Turkey Master's Keep "Beacon". Rumored to be the final release in the venerated Master's Keep series, this 118-proof bourbon immediately impresses the hosts. They find the quintessential "Turkey funk" alongside deep notes of toffee, burnt orange citrus, cherry, molasses, clove, tobacco, and perfectly integrated oak. It's described as viscous, complex, and potentially the "perfect Turkey," taking their breath away. Finally, they tackle the first-ever Woodford Reserve Barrel Proof Rye. This barely-legal rye (53% rye) comes in at a hefty 125.1 proof. The nose reminds them of Corn Pops cereal with hints of rye spice, pepper, and mint. The palate delivers on the grain-forward notes, showcasing the rye character with cereal, clove, and a touch of leather, defining itself as a solid Kentucky-style rye. Jim and Todd wrap up the episode by comparing the five "treats" and selecting their top three favorites in their "winner winner chicken dinner" segment, capping off a hauntingly good tasting session.

That small act becomes the backbone of this conversation about why whiskey folks feel like family.We walk through standout moments from Ohio's fast-rising craft scene—Middle West Spirits, Watershed, Echo Spirits, Belle of Dayton, and more—sharing quick tasting impressions and the kind of behind-the-table chats that lead to future visits. You'll hear how festivals help us trade knowledge, line up interviews, and discover where regional styles are headed as local distillers refine their grain-to-glass identity.Then we pop Evan Williams 12 Year, the 101-proof distillery favorite with a history as a Japan export. We break down the mash bill, the nose of dried apricot and almond, the cinnamon-to-mint transition on the palate, and a long, clean finish. Using our barrel knock scale, we land on a confident 15/18—a distinctive, steady pour that rewards patience without chasing sweetness. If you love practical tasting talk and real community stories, this one hits both notes.If this resonated, subscribe, share with a friend who loves bourbon, and leave a five-star review.

Death metal legend and one of my favourite guests to ever appear on the show, Chris Pervelis (Internal Bleeding), makes a triumphant return for a bourbon and red wine-fueled, no-holds-barred catch-up. We dive deep into the writing and recording of Internal Bleeding's blistering new album “Settle All Scores”, then spiral into several unhinged tangents including the secret to a perfect steak, the unholy roar of muscle cars, Chris's take on Black Sabbath's final bow, and why we both secretly wish we'd majored in economics. On the Weekly News Rant, Nathan Glover from Graveir - freshly signed to Apocalyptic Witchcraft Records - joins me to dissect brand-new tracks from The Ruins of Beverast, Veilburner, and Gloriously Depraved, plus we deliver the definitive verdict on Testament's ballsy “Seek and Destroy” cover.
