It's another must-watch episode of Bama and Bourbon as Lance Taylor from The Next Round and Aaron Suttles from Yea Alabama break down a pivotal moment in the Crimson Tide season. The guys recap Alabama's loss to Georgia in the SEC Championship Game and turn the page to the College Football Playoff, which begins with a road matchup in Norman, Oklahoma against the Sooners. Lance and Aaron dive into the biggest questions facing Alabama right now — the struggles of the Crimson Tide offense, key injury updates, and what has to change for the Tide to make a deep CFP run. How can Alabama find offensive consistency? Can the defense continue carrying the load against a dangerous Oklahoma team? The answers could decide the season. All the while, the guys sip on Johnny Drum Private Stock, sharing bourbon tasting notes and why this bold, high-proof classic is the perfect companion for postseason football conversations.

We finally did it, we cracked open a bottle of barrel-aged Malört, which might be the most cursed idea in drinking history. Matt, Jason, and Drew put their taste buds (and mental health) on the line to see whether aging Malört in oak barrels improves it… or just gives it more time to absorb evil.We break down the nose, the palate, the trauma, the Chicago lore, and whether Malört actually changes once it spends time in wood. Spoiler: it's still Malört. Very much Malört. Aggressively Malört.Laugh with us. Cry with us.

The latest collection of American Single Malts from Lost Lantern Whiskey is dubbed the "Scotch Lover's Collection," not because there are any inferred links to Scotland, but because Lost Lantern founders Nora Ganley-Roper and Adam Polonski crafted them to appeal to a Scotch lover's palate. We'll talk with Nora and Adam on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, Brown-Forman reports a 14% decline in quarterly profits, while Bourbon industry leaders are getting nervous about the long-term impact of Canada's boycott of American whiskies. We'll also pay tribute to singer-songwriter Robin Laing, who died this weekend at the age of 72.

We sat down with Brandon from Ethereal Brewing to celebrate their 11-year anniversary and talk about the state of the craft beer industry. With sales dipping nationwide, shifting customer tastes, and big breweries changing strategy, we wanted to hear directly from someone who's kept a brewery thriving for over a decade.We cover what's changed, why hype cycles matter, how brewing philosophies have evolved, and what the next wave of craft beer might look like. And while we're at it, we crack open Bourbon County Brand Stout 2025 and Minutiae by Phase 3 to compare old-school vs new-school barrel-aged styles.If you love beer talk, brewery insights, or stout nerdery, this one's packed.#craftbeer #beerreview #bourboncountystouthttps://www.youtube.com/@arsenicculturehttps://instagram.com/arsenicculturehttps://tiktok.com/@arsenicculturehttps://www.facebook.com/arsenicculture/https://x.com/arsenicculture

Holiday plans, party specials, and a practical look at value over hype round out the pour.• double toasted six-year bourbon with vanilla-forward profile• light nose, medium body, toasted marshmallow on the palate• modest finish, high drinkability at 86 proof• ideal for old fashioneds and holiday gatherings• comparisons with Beam Double Oak, Early Times BiB, Benchmark• value over scarcity, pricing versus pleasure• final score: 9.5 out of 18• Christmas party details at Jervasi with Weller 107 and cigar specialMake sure that you also listen to us on Apple, iHeart, Spotify, or any of the other formats that you can listen to podcasts. Whether you listen or watch us, make sure that you subscribe, become members. And then also on the audio podcast, leave us a five-star review and good feedback.A winter pour that overdelivers on comfort and undercuts the hype—this one is built for a crackling fire, a plate of bourbon balls, and friends who want something easy but not empty. We open Jim Beam Winter Reserve, a six-year bourbon finished in two toasted barrels, and put it through our full Old Louisville barrel bottle breakdown: nose, body, taste, finish, and a final score that surprised even us. Expect light aromatics, a fuller-than-expected body for 86 proof, a toasted marshmallow and vanilla core, and a finish that whispers more than roars.We get specific about where this bottle fits. If you crave caramel and vanilla over heat and tannin, Winter Reserve hits the lane. It's a crowd-pleaser for holiday parties, a gentle introduction for new bourbon drinkers, and a secret weapon in an old fashioned. We share why the double-toasted approach amplifies dessert notes without turning cloying, and how a simple cocktail build—orange peel, bitters, Demerara—lets those flavors shine. This is the pour you can sip, serve, and still feel good about the price.Along the way, we talk real-world value. Does a $26 bottle earn shelf space next to allocated heavy hitters? We compare against Beam Double Oak, Early Times Bottled-in-Bond, and Benchmark picks, and talk aging quirks, warehouse heat, and why price rarely scales with pleasure. We close with our final score—9.5/18—and the key takeaway: not every winter winner needs to be rare. Some just need to be right.If you enjoy honest tastings, budget-friendly recommendations, and practical cocktail tips, hit follow, share this with a bourbon friend, and drop us a review with your favorite winter sipper.

All the while, Lance and Aaron sip and review the beautifully balanced George Dickel x Leopold Bros Collaboration Blend Rye, sharing tasting notes, aroma impressions, and why this rye whisky makes for the perfect pour during championship week.

BrownTown shares space with Sadie Soto, consultant, organizer, policy savant, lifelong Chicagoan, and devoted CTA rider. The gang chats about the fall 2025 CTA (Chicago Transit Authority) and RTA (Regional Transportation Authority) budget crisis and the role and responsibility of mass public transit in our lives. As the recent funding crisis put public transit in Chicagoland in the spotlight, the team uses it as a catalyst to unpack the nuts and bolts of what funding public services actually looks like on a municipal, county, and state level; the perceptions and realities of public transit; and the the limited political will and actual possibility of what a fully funded and equitable transportation system could actually look like. Originally recorded October 24, 2025. Updates on the state vote and current state of CTA/RTA below in episodes notes. GUESTSadie Soto is a lifelong Chicagoan and devoted CTA rider. A former congressional intern, she is deeply familiar with policy at the national level and has also been active locally as an organizer with the Chicago Teachers Union. Over the years, she has volunteered for multiple aldermanic campaigns and remains an engaged resident of Jefferson Park, frequently attending her neighborhood chamber of commerce and community meetings. She currently works as an environmental consultant, where she supports community-centered initiatives through outreach coordination, public meeting facilitation, and communications that translate complex policy into accessible stories. Mentioned in the episode:Update: Illinois lawmakers pass public transit funding bill to address RTA budget gap (ABC Chicago)Pre-vote: Budget shortfall could end CTA's 24-hour public service in Chicago (ABC Chicago)Mayor Johnson's “Safe And Smoke-Free Public Transit” Executive OrderViolent crime on the CTA remains above pre-pandemic levels (Transit Talent)Red Ahead ProgramWhy Chicago still hasn't fixed the Loop (The Flying Moose, YouTube)Why Doesn't the US have better public transportation?

Bourbon on the table, big ideas in the air. We sit down with an award-winning filmmaker who left Southern California for Northwest Arkansas and break down, step by step, how a small, collaborative community can grow into a real film hub. Between a honey-finished Buffalo Trace taste test and a few jabs at our missing co-hosts, we dig into the practical levers that matter to creators and investors alike: Arkansas's cash rebate incentive, easy access to locations, and a surprisingly deep bench of crew.Scott shares the creative and business blueprint for his contained thriller, In Memoriam, a character-driven story about a daughter who uses memory tech to visit her comatose father and uncovers a painful truth. We talk budgets in the $500k–$600k range, how to stretch locations, and why pre-sales and smart casting can make or break indie projects. Then we lay out a realistic distribution ladder: streaming-first to control P&A, limited theatrical to build earned media, and a pathway to wider release once the data supports it. If you're curious how films really get financed and sold in today's market, this is a candid, usable playbook.We also explore Scott's second engine: construction site storytelling. Think solar time-lapse cameras snapping every ten minutes, drone passes with graphic overlays, and monthly and quarterly edits that double as investor updates and sales content. It's a smarter alternative to one-and-done drone tours, giving builders live jobsite views and a narrative asset that wins the next RFP. Toss in a priceless Apple-era anecdote—yes, a “Hate it” email from Steve Jobs—and you've got a conversation that blends craft, commerce, and community.Join us for a grounded look at filmmaking from Bentonville: incentives, crews, distribution strategy, and the creative grit it takes to ship. If you enjoy this kind of inside-the-industry breakdown, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves movies or bourbon, and leave a quick review to help others find us.

Send us a textThe limited release that crosses loves for many bourbon and beer lovers has once again found its way to our glasses. That storied, bourbon barrel finished imperial stout, hailing from the great northern state of...Illinois...comes to us at a hearty 14.8% ABV this time around. Yet, there's something quite different about the presentation and packaging this time around for the Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout...how peculiar. Does it matter, in the end? Perhaps...perhaps not. But, what we really care about is what that deep, black liquid inside tastes like and whether it's worth picking it up. So, with that in mind, dear listener (or viewer), I say, hit play, and...enjoy.Become a patron of the show at http://www.patreon.com/mybourbonpodcastLeave us a 5 star rating and review on your podcast app of choice!Send us an email with questions or comments to thisismybourbonshop@gmail.comSend us mail to PO Box 22609, Lexington, KY 40522Check out all of our merch and apparel: http://bourbonshop.threadless.com/Leave us a message for Barrel Rings at 859.428.8253Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mybourbonpod/Twitter: https://twitter.com/mybourbonpodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mybourbonpod/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/thisismybourbonpodcastPayPal, if you feel so inclined: PayPal.me/pritter1492Link to our Barrell Rye Armagnac Finished Pick: https://shop.whiskeyinmyweddingring.com/products/barrell-private-release-rye-1a03Support the show

We rate pours live, debate scoring, and map how grain, wood, and aging shape flavor and finish.• EH Taylor's life, reforms, and heated warehouses• Small Batch nose, body, taste, and finish breakdown• How Single Barrel and Barrel Proof change the profile• Rye vs bourbon in the Taylor lineup• Four Grain tasting with a standout finish• Limiteds explained: Amaranth, 18 Year Marriage, Cured Oak, Seasoned Wood, Tornado, Warehouse C• Old Louisville sponsor shout and rating system• Community updates, rankings, and where to listen• 12 Days of Bourbon giveaway mechanicsBecome a member because becoming a member gets you some things, and then also can get some of your chats along onto that where we're seeing it at the timeA colonel, a castle, and a tornado—this pour-packed episode dives straight into why E.H. Taylor isn't just hype, he's the blueprint. We trace Taylor's fingerprints across bourbon history, from steam‑heated warehouses and Bottled‑in‑Bond standards to the modern lineup that keeps collectors camping in line. Then we put the whiskeys in the glass and let the ratings fly.We start with Small Batch and unpack why it punches above its weight: a vanilla‑forward nose with apricot and cherry cordial, rich legs, and a medium, oak‑tinged finish that nudges for another sip. From there we step into the heavy hitters—Single Barrel precision, Barrel Proof power, and a Straight Rye that swerves minty and bright—and talk about what changes in the glass as proof, grain, and warehouse floors shift. We also spotlight the fabled limiteds: Four Grain's candy‑red fruit and clove, Amaranth's nutty depth, 18 Year Marriage's layered elegance, Cured Oak and Seasoned Wood's stave science, Tornado Surviving's weather‑worn magic, and the Warehouse C release that reads like dessert without losing its backbone.Along the way, we share tasting notes you can actually use, debate our house scoring system, and even land a rare perfect mark for Four Grain thanks to that long, fruit‑laden finish. If you're new to the line, you'll leave with a smart game plan for what to hunt first. If you're deep in the racks, you'll pick up nuances that make your next pour more rewarding. Either way, it's a masterclass in how grain bills, wood seasoning, and aging environments shape flavor—and why Taylor's legacy still sets the pace.Subscribe on your favorite podcast app, drop a review if you learned something, and tell us which EH Taylor expression deserves the crown.

Congress is pushing a nationwide ban on hemp-derived THC beverages, and the ripple effects are massive, especially in Kentucky where a huge chunk of America's hemp is grown and processed. Matt and Jason break down what the federal bill actually does, why THC seltzers suddenly became a target, and how the same politicians who legalized hemp in 2018 are now scrambling to shut down the industry they created.We dig into cannabinoids, legal loopholes, federal overreach, small-business chaos, and why a 5 mg THC drink somehow became a national priority. It's messy, it's political, and it's hitting the entire country at once. And of course, we dissect all of it with the signature Arsenic Culture sarcasm.#thcdrinks #hempseltzer #cannabisnewshttps://www.youtube.com/@arsenicculturehttps://instagram.com/arsenicculturehttps://tiktok.com/@arsenicculturehttps://www.facebook.com/arsenicculture/https://x.com/arsenicculture
Michter's is known as the "world's most desired whiskey." So on this Black Friday edition of The Mash Up, we taste and review three different limited production whiskeys from the distillery: 10 year old bourbon & rye and barrel strength bourbon. Each year that these products release (because they don't always release annually), they are highly allocated and highly sought after. What starts off as an expose on Michter's, quickly turns to the usual fun and spirited conversation along with many random blinds. We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and we hope you enjoy our take on these Michter's limited production whiskeys. --------------------------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!
