Kentucky's Bourbon distillers are in a conundrum…the industry set a new record for barrel inventories in 2024 and the number of distilleries is at an all-time high. However, domestic sales are slumping and exports are down significantly from previous years. Eric Gregory of the Kentucky Distillers Association joins us on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth to explain the state's latest whisky production report and what it means for the future. In the news, another new report shows U.S. spirits exports are down for the second quarter of this year, with sharp declines across most key trading partners.

In this episode of Bourbon Lens, Jake and Scott turn the spotlight on the craft and independent distilleries making waves across the Bourbon and American Whiskey landscape. From Kentucky to Nevada, Colorado to New York, they highlight more than dozen distilleries to watch in 2025 and beyond — brands that are redefining what it means to craft whiskey in America today. The discussion also takes a closer look at the tightening bourbon market, the economic and production challenges that small distilleries face, and how whiskey fans can make a real impact by supporting independent producers. Whether you're a collector, a craft whiskey explorer, or simply someone who loves discovering new bottles, this episode offers valuable insights into the next generation of distillers driving creativity, innovation, and authenticity in American whiskey.

Shortbarrel is an Atlanta-based bourbon company whose bottles started hitting the shelves in 2021. Founded by a tight-knit group of bourbon enthusiasts, Shortbarrel specializes in crafting very unique offerings with the whiskey nerd in mind. In 2023, Shortbarrel purchased the Old Fourth Distillery and they have plans to open a flagship bar and retail shop in Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Despite being one of the hottest new brands on the market, none of us had ever tried any of their products. In this episode, we taste and review The Bee's Knees which is an annual limited release that is double barreling and has four different variants (Florida, Tennessee, Georgia, and Kentucky). We also try their cask strength toasted barrel bourbon which is a unique blend of Green River and Bardstown distillate finished in a Kelvin barrel. So join us this week as we talk Shortbarrel and give you our honest opinions. You will also get to see and hear the end of Anthony's gambling career. --------------------------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/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!

In this smokey, robust conversation with cigar and whiskey expert Maggie Kimberl (@lougirl502), some of the topics we discuss include: A working definition of “cigar blend whiskey,” plus some specific thoughts on the ideal proof point for these types of blends. The two primary pairing strategies that you can use to pair any two items in the flavor world, whether you're talking about wine and food, whiskey and cigars, or even building the perfect charcuterie bite. How to think about “flexibility” in the whiskey and cigar pairing space. Essentially: is a given whiskey designed to pair with a wide range of cigars, or has a blender designed it to pair with one cigar in particular? Then, we look at cigars. We talk about how a cigar is going to change as you smoke it, how to think about size metrics like shape and ring gauge relative to other factors like robustness and country of origin, and the best way to leverage online reviews and your local tobacconist to help you navigate the scene. We wrap up by talking about some of the more recent trends and collaborations in the whiskey and cigar world, exploring certain ways in which cigar blends and pairing collaborations are getting better, and even more complex at the same time. Along the way, we cover what your breakfast beverage of choice says about your taste in cigars, which $25 bottle of whiskey Maggie ended up pairing with a $1000 cigar, the results of her 7-month Manhattan study, and much, much more.

Although most people probably think whiskey is our favorite beverage, it's actually coffee, which is why we were intrigued with this new Bourbon infused with coffee beans when we featured it on a news episode a few months ago. But is it too coffee forward? Not enough? Or does sit perfectly at the junction between our two favorite liquids? And what the hell is a Bib & Tucker? Well, you know what to do to find out!

Send us a textWe trade perfect bar seats for a once-in-a-lifetime OFC pour, walk the river at Bourbon on the Banks, and put Augusta's 13-year hazmat through a full Barrel Bottle Breakdown. Between dusties, cigars, and cathedral oak, we weigh power against poise and land on what makes a pour memorable.• platform updates, memberships, and feedback asks across YouTube, Apple, Spotify, TikTok• Bourbon on the Banks preview, logistics, and tent setup• House of Commons couch sacrifice for an OFC opening• tasting notes on OFC, dusties, and a 1983 Maker's Mark• Limestone Branch chat with Yellowstone cigars and new eight-year bourbon• the Bardstown cathedral oak bottle backstory and gift• Augusta 13-year hazmat breakdown: nose, body, taste, finish• Augusta Revival vs Augusta 13 head-to-head• health notes, cigar talk, and safe wrap-upMake sure that no matter how you watch us, like, listen, subscribe, and leave good feedback, and sign up for the membershipsA hush fell over the bar as the display case opened—then a $2,500 OFC hit our glasses. That's how our Bourbon on the Banks weekend really started: a risky trade of perfect couch seats for a bucket-list pour, followed by a blur of Whiskey Thief hospitality, House of Commons dusties, and a festival tent that finally felt dialed in. We brought the mics, the Glencairns, and the stories; the river brought the rest.From there, we chased flavor and history. Limestone Branch joined us for cigars and their new eight-year bourbon in a replica 1850s limestone bottle. We unpacked a gift with weight: Bardstown's cathedral oak finish, made from French oak harvested for the Notre Dame rebuild, signed by Steve Nally for a birthday we plan to toast with friends. These aren't just bottles—they're chapters about craftsmanship, aging, sourcing, and the people who make it all possible.Then the breakdown began. We put Augusta Distillery's 13-year single barrel (140.8 proof) under the glass with our Barrel Bottle Breakdown scoring. The nose felt like molasses and brown sugar with a sneaky chocolate-peanut snap; the body coated and lingered; the palate delivered vanilla, caramel, cherry, and leather with the kind of confidence you expect from a 13-year. The twist? A medium finish that chose restraint over the chest-thumping “hug” you'd predict at hazmat. To test our instincts, we staged a head-to-head with Augusta Revival 13 (141 proof): Revival brought the warmth and length; Augusta 13 brought the polish and poise. Depending on your style—hug or harmony—you'll have a favorite.If you care about rare pours, hazmat bourbons, OFC lore, and why House of Commons belongs on your Frankfort map, this one's for you. Pull up a glass, taste along, and tell us where you land on finish: do you want a gentle fade or a long, spicy wave?

If you've been to their distillery in Louisville or read one of their bottles you have probably encountered the claim that that Old Forester was "the first bottled Bourbon." The story suggests that in 1870, a former pharmaceutical rep George Garvin Brown began placing whiskey in sealed bottles and putting his signature on them to show he stood behind the safety and quality of the whiskey. It's a great story. But is it true? Join me in this pilot episode of a potential new Whiskey Lore series, as I dig through old newspapers and archives to seek out the deeper story of who George Garvin Brown was, more about this fine spirit known as Old Forester, and how much of the story is truth and how much of it is lore. And if you enjoy this kind of deep-dive whiskey investigation and want to help this independent podcaster bring more episodes like it to life, join the Whiskey Lore Speakeasy at patreon.com/whiskeylore It is time to disrupt some whiskey history!

We kicked off Bourbon on the Banks with Whiskey Thief's farm party, then hustled through a whirlwind run of Four Roses, Wild Turkey, Buffalo Trace, and Larkin before settling into House of Commons, where the shelves read like a history book you can sip. That's where a generous friend handed us a bucket-list dram of Old-Fashioned Copper and reminded us why community makes bourbon culture special.Back at the booth, we recorded with Stephen Beam and Stephen Fontaine, talked Yellowstone's new bottle, and still found time to explore McBrayer's Cedar Brook and other up-and-comers on the festival grounds. The street festival lit up Frankfort—fire jump ropes, music, and a surprise gift: a Cathedral French Oak finish bottle signed by Steve Nally, tied to Notre Dame's restoration. Moments like that turned a packed schedule into a memory reel.We closed with a deep dive on Four Roses: the 10 recipes, the yeast strains, the mash bills, and why OBSK—Four Roses' high-rye K yeast—hits that sweet spot of baking spice, fruit, and structure. Our Old Louisville Whiskey Co–style breakdown put the single barrel at 16/18: a lively nose, massive body for the proof, balanced palate, and a finish that drifts into dark chocolate and vanilla.

In this episode of Bourbon Lens, Jake and Scott sit down with Joe O'Sullivan, Master Distiller at Minden Mill Distilling, to discuss his journey in American Whiskey and what makes Minden Mill one of Nevada's most exciting distilleries. Joe shares his early experiences learning from one of the greats in American Whiskey, Steve McCarthy, founder of Clear Creek Distillery and widely considered the “godfather of American Single Malt.” From there, Joe's path took him across the country as he honed his craft and helped shape the modern American Single Malt category. The conversation explores what led Joe to Nevada and the vision behind Minden Mill Distilling — from its straight Bourbon and Rye to its American Single Malt Whiskey lineup. Jake and Scott also dive into Joe's involvement with the new Estate Whiskey Alliance, his advocacy for the “ground-to-glass” movement, and why innovation and heritage both matter in today's spirits world. Listeners will hear firsthand how Minden Mill's unique approach to whiskey-making, backed by a state-of-the-art facility and the Carson Valley's rugged character, is positioning the distillery as a rising force in American Whiskey.   About Joe O'Sullivan: Joseph (Joe) O'Sullivan is the Master Distiller of Minden Mill Distilling in Nevada and a respected voice in American Whiskey. He apprenticed under Steve McCarthy, founder of Clear Creek Distillery and a pioneer of American Single Malt, before going on to serve as Master Distiller at Clear Creek and later Hood River Distillers. Joe has been an active leader in the industry, contributing to the American Single Malt Whiskey Commission, helping establish the category's Standard of Identity certified by the TTB in 2024, and supporting the Estate Whiskey Alliance. He also shared his expertise with the Edinburgh Whisky Academy, shaping global understanding of American Single Malt. With nearly two decades of distilling experience, Joe oversees Minden Mill's production of Straight Bourbon, Straight Rye, and American Single Malt Whiskey, as well as vodka and liqueurs. His career reflects a balance of craftsmanship, innovation, and advocacy for American whiskey traditions.

We talk a lot about how whiskey is made, mixed, marketed and just generally talked about. But not how it's distributed. Fortunately Angela Bosco is here to pull back the curtain on the often murky, sometimes deliberately opaque distribution system for alcohol in this country. She sits down with the band to talk about the three-tier system, building a brand, what a brand needs to do to get acquired, as well as some straight whiskey talk. What are people doing to keep this storied category innovative. And did the industry really make progress towards equity with the MeToo movement? Or did it just look like it did? Angela weighs in on what it's like to be a woman in what can often be the boys club of rye and bourbonPLUS it's our first show of October and you know what that means. It's time for pumpkin spice everything! But is it also time for a redemption arc for this much maligned gourd?

Does your bourbon, beer, or wine actually taste better in a fancy glass, or is that just pretentious hype? From Red Solo cups to Glencairns, beer boots to wine stems, the Arsenic Culture crew debates whether proper glassware really changes the experience.In this episode, Matt and Jason swap stories about their own glassware habits (and bad decisions), from tailgates with Solo cups to fancy bourbon pours.

Roll Tide and pour a glass—it's time for another episode of Bama and Bourbon with Lance Taylor from The Next Round and Yea Alabama's Aaron Suttles!

The bourbon world has changed dramatically, and a big part of that is due to social media. It used to be a bunch of faceless names on some message boards but a new wave of creators is at the forefront. Today, we're sitting down with two leaders in the short-form video game, Kevin Carlson and Mike Yates. They give some insight into building a following on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, and how they're tackling the biggest challenges of creating content today—from the struggle of video editing to audience engagement. Then we get into a lively game of "Over, Under, or Properly Rated," where we debate everything from "hazmat" bottles to the authenticity of influencers. The conversation gets real about home barrel projects and if building a relationship with your local liquor store owner is still the most valuable move you can make. Show Notes: Shifting from audio to video content creation The influence of TikTok and Instagram on bourbon enthusiasts Playing "Over, Under, or Properly Rated" with bourbon trends Examining the hype surrounding hazmat bottles The charm of Buffalo Trace and Wild Turkey: hype or reality? Scrutinizing the legitimacy of home barrel projects in bourbon making Building essential connections with liquor store owners for limited releases Nostalgia versus hype: the campout experience for sought-after bottles Personal growth and stories behind their bourbon content creation Support this podcast on Patreon Learn more about your ad choices.

Bardstown was once called the most beautiful small town in America. Bourbon country. Quiet streets. A place where nothing bad was supposed to happen. Then came the ambush of Officer Jason Ellis. A year later, the brutal murders of Kathy and Samantha Netherland. Soon after, Crystal Rogers vanished on the Fourth of July. Three crimes. Three families. One town. No answers. For years, everything sat in silence. But this summer, something shifted. Trials. Testimony. Secrets rising to the surface. Part 1 takes us back to where it all began. And it's only the beginning.
