This week, Bourbon Lens heads to Bardstown, Kentucky to sit down with Whitney Rye — founder and CEO of The Parlor Room, host of The Mash Bill podcast, and better known on Instagram as Bourbon Duchess. Whitney built The Parlor Room around a simple idea: teach people the story behind the bottle, not just tasting-note jargon, in a space designed for rare, allocated, and vintage pours.In this episode, Whitney walks Jake and Scott through the tangled, dramatic history of Barton Distillery — from its 1889 roots as one of the first distilleries to reopen after Prohibition, through a 1940s fire and rebuild under Oscar Getz, a name literally drawn out of a hat, a trademark lawsuit from Woodford Reserve that forced a mid-run name change, and the 2013 pivot to Sweet Wheat. Along the way, the group tastes through a vertical flight of Barton-family whiskeys spanning nearly 40 years — culminating in a first taste of the brand-new 1792 Straight Rye.In this episode:Whitney's origin story — from My Old Kentucky Home State Park to founding The Parlor RoomWhy she intentionally leaves formal "tasting notes" out of her classesThe real (and litigious) history behind the Barton/1792 nameA vertical tasting: a 1986 Very Old Barton, a vintage Tom Moore, Ridgemont Reserve 1792, and the new 1792 Straight RyeWhy 1792's rye whiskey is also the backbone of several Buffalo Trace rye releasesA broader conversation on bourbon oversupply, aging whiskey, and why age statements may be bourbon's next chapter

Send us Fan MailWe taste and rate Brown-Forman's Kentucky Boy, a resurrected historic label released to honor Chris Morris's 50-year legacy, and we push past the hype to see if the pour earns the story. We also unpack what's known and unknown about the blend, why the Kentucky Bourbon Festival was the perfect debut stage, and what bourbon fans should demand from “commemorative” bottles. • Kentucky Boy release details, 100 proof, $99.99 MSRP, one-time limited release • Why resurrecting a dormant label from Brown-Forman's archives changes the story • Chris Morris's impact on Old Forester and Woodford Reserve innovations • The mentorship angle with Elizabeth McCall and Caleb Trigo creating the whiskey • What “unprecedented blend” means when components and ages are not published • Tasting notes and Barrel Bottle Breakdown scoring, ending at 16.5/18 • Open it or collect it, and whether Brown-Forman should keep Kentucky Boy alive • How the Kentucky Bourbon Festival has evolved and why that matters • Second Stride charity tie-in and the thoroughbred theme connection If you go to Apple and you leave a five-star review and you write something, we go up. Whether you listen to us or watch us, make sure that you leave good feedback, leave super chats, become members. We even got a Patreon site. A bourbon name that vanished for generations suddenly comes roaring back and it's not just a label stunt. We're tasting Kentucky Boy Straight Bourbon Whiskey, a one-time limited release from Brown-Forman that revives a historic brand the company acquired in 1923 and uses it to honor Chris Morris and his 50-year legacy in Kentucky whiskey. The bottle debuted at the Kentucky Bourbon Festival in Bardstown, with Chris Morris signing bottles and the whole release feeling like a real moment in modern bourbon history, not just another shelf drop.What makes Kentucky Boy more than a commemorative keepsake is who built it. Brown-Forman handed the project to two of Morris's protégés: Elizabeth McCall of Woodford Reserve and Caleb Trigo of Old Forester. The official story calls it an unprecedented blend inspired by whiskeys Morris helped shape, often linked to Old Forester Birthday Bourbon, King of Kentucky, and Woodford Reserve Double Oaked, but the company doesn't publish component percentages or ages. We talk about what that transparency gap means for serious bourbon fans and why mentorship might be the most meaningful “ingredient” in the bottle.Then we get to the only thing that ultimately matters: the pour. Our Barrel Bottle Breakdown pulls big banana pudding and banana cream pie on the nose, backed by baking spice, apple, and sweet oak. The body shows thick legs and a surprisingly rich mouthfeel for 100 proof, the palate stays flavorful without harsh heat, and the finish keeps that sweet banana note rolling. We score it 16.5/18 and debate the real questions: would you open it or collect it, does resurrecting Kentucky Boy improve the story, and should Brown-Forman keep the label alive for future milestones?If you enjoy bourbon tasting notes, Brown-Forman history, Old Forester and Woodford Reserve deep cuts, and honest talk about festival culture and hype, hit play.

Todd Ritter and Jim Shannon are back at the Corner Rick House in Frankfort, Kentucky, diving deep into one of whiskey's most exotic finishing woods — Mizunara oak. Native to Japan and harvested only from trees aged 200 to 500 years old, Mizunara (Quercus crispula) barrels can cost anywhere from four to six thousand dollars each, making them one of the rarest and most expensive casks in the whiskey world. The duo explores how four very different American whiskeys — from craft operations to storied Kentucky distilleries — interact with this sandalwood-and-coconut-forward Japanese oak, proving that the same finishing wood can yield wildly divergent results depending on the base spirit, age, and fill history of the cask. On the Tasting Mat: - Four Roses Experimental Series #001 Mizunara Cask Finish: A first-ever experimental cask release from Four Roses, this six-year OBSK Kentucky straight bourbon (65% corn, 35% high rye, 5% malted barley, K yeast strain) is bottled at 104 proof in a 375ml format with an MSRP of $55. The nose is bright, floral, and citrus-forward with lemon and green apple; the palate opens with a wave of sweetness, baking spice, and a striking citrus note reminiscent of lemon heads, finishing with an Arnold Palmer-like tea-and-lemonade quality. *(00:30:00)* - Starlight Mizunara Reserve Small Batch #0003: An annual limited release from Starlight Distillery in Indiana, this 110-proof eight-barrel blend marries two mashbills — a three-grain corn/rye/malt and a four-grain corn/rye/malt/wheat — both from sweet mash recipes, finished six to eighteen months in Mizunara. The nose is subtle and requires coaxing, offering darker caramel, sandalwood, and incense-like depth. The palate delivers a memorable toasted coconut and piña colada quality alongside baking spice and darker fruit, with a rich mid-palate that rewards patience. MSRP $150. *(00:13:22)* - Hard Truth Barrel Finish Reserve Series Mizunara Finished Weeted Bourbon: From Hard Truth Distillery in Nashville, Indiana, this 116-proof weeted bourbon (69% corn, 19% wheat, 12% malted barley) delivers one of the most aromatic noses of the session — a vibrant, evolving fruit medley of raspberry, strawberry, light cream, and peach that practically leaps from the glass. The palate rolls across the entire mouth with creamy berry sweetness before an unexpected burst of spice on the back of the palate, finishing long with a persistent, satisfying sizzle. MSRP approximately $75. *(00:27:32)* - Dark Arts Whiskey 7.5-Year Mizunara Finished Bourbon (Bourbon on the Banks Pick): A Bourbon on the Banks exclusive private selection from Dark Arts Whiskey in Lexington, Kentucky, this 7.5-year MGP high-rye bourbon (60% corn, 36% rye, 4% malted barley) is limited to just 72 bottles. The nose opens with a fresh, slightly minty brightness layered with cooked apple and a distinctive sawdust-and-sandalwood Mizunara character suggesting a first-fill barrel. The palate is velvety and full-mouthed with a sticky, lingering texture, coconut on the finish, and a gentle white pepper mid-palate spice that builds slowly. *(00:43:37)* The Corner Rick House session wraps up with all four glasses back on the mat for a final comparative lap, confirming just how dramatically the same finishing wood transforms depending on the vessel, the base whiskey, and the hand guiding the selection. Todd and Jim also reflect on a recent listener meetup at the Corner Rick House — joined by Bourbon Roadies from Ohio, Florida, and Georgia as well as members of the Frankfort Bourbon Society — and preview upcoming events including Bourbon on the Banks. Whether you are a longtime Mizunara devotee or approaching Japanese oak for the first time, this episode is a masterclass in how one rare cask can tell four completely different stories.

BrownTown finally takes on the manniverse through a Fitness Against Fascism lens with internet homie Colin Davis, fitness coach and Lefty content creator. Contrary to what gyms, popular workout trends, or wellness influencers may tell you, physical fitness has always been political. Over the past decade alone we've experienced political flashpoint after political flashpoint that have demanded attention from all corners of our socialized life, including and especially fitness and algorithm-driven social media.Colin and BrownTown explain plainly why fitness is inherently political, underscoring that leaving room for "neutrality", in the field that often equates physical fitness with masculinity, has made space for impressionable young men to get caught up in the the so-called "manniverse". What begins as personal training tips to make dem gainz too often becomes a co-opted tributary into vapid looksmaxxing and hustlepreneurship before finally arriving at blatant misogyny, sexism, and other forms of prejudice. The former fringe corner of the internet over a decade ago has now influenced various industries, social groups, and halls power, most notably the White House.But on the flip side, progressives, leftists, and folx who just want a better world exercise and workout too! And we don't have to succumb to the violent, racist, fascist, and patriarchal forces that too often hijack our most human activities and relationships. Colin reminds us that, "Hard things are possible if you work at them." If we are to meet this moment -- online and IRL -- we have to get serious about just how political fitness is. The Technofascist Right already did.GUESTColin Davis is fitness coach at Five Point Training who began making content as a means to showcase a compassionate and community oriented alternative to the alienating rhetoric targeted towards young men. By incorporating an empathetic mindset, and positive perspectives on strength, his messages have resonated far beyond his original expectations, with features in Wired, Fox & Friends, and beyond. With the underlying goal to create alignment and connectivity across the aisle, he continues to be driven by the belief that with the right tools, resources, and positive figures, we can transition from a generation fueled by animosity and alienation and into one of kindness, optimism and community action.

Josh sits down with Sean Josephs, founder of Pinhook Bourbon and the new subscription-only Old Joseph's, for a conversation that traces two decades in restaurants and spirits. Sean didn't find the industry until he was 30, after five directionless years in fashion and beauty account management, before landing as a food runner at Tia Pol, the Chelsea restaurant his wife Mani opened in 2004. From there he trained under master sommelier Roger Dagorn at Chanterelle, then went on to build Char No. 4 in Brooklyn, Maysville, and Kenton's in Manhattan, all before relocating to New Orleans. Along the way he became one of the earliest people to treat bourbon the way sommeliers treat wine, pouring small tastes at a time and eventually founding Pinhook, a brand built around buying young barrels on lineage and being transparent about where the whiskey actually comes from.The conversation moves through the mechanics of the bourbon industry that most drinkers never think about: why big brands dilute their whiskey down to 80-86 proof and chill filter it to hide inconsistency between barrels, how scarcity turned Pappy Van Winkle into a cult bottle despite sharing a mash bill with Weller 12, and how vintage bottles that sold for $58 a decade ago now go for $10,000. Sean and Josh debate what connoisseurship actually means, identifying quality even in something you personally dislike, argue about when homemade beats store-bought (can you really beat Heinz), and dig into why bourbon barrels aging in Kentucky have tripled since 2012, helped along by private equity speculation. It closes on Sean's bet for what comes next: the best bourbon hasn't been made yet, and it won't come from a single distillery.Links and Resources

Episode SummaryTo celebrate their landmark 400th episode, The Bourbon Lens crew heads to one of the most hallowed sites in American whiskey — Stitzel-Weller Distillery in Shively, Kentucky — for a sit-down with Nicole Austin, Diageo's Director of American Whiskey Liquid Development and Capabilities. Nicole pulls back the curtain on the mystery of why decades-old bourbon aged in Stitzel-Weller's rickhouses defies the conventional wisdom that American whiskey "expires" past a certain age. The conversation covers barrel consolidation (topping off), the historic rickhouse design patented by Frederick Stitzel, and the launch of the new Blade and Bow 12-Year Solera — a 104-proof, sub-$65 bourbon built using a fractional-blending Solera process borrowed from sherry and adapted for American whiskey.Main ThemesThe "magic" of Stitzel-Weller's rickhouses — why extreme-age American whiskey (25–40+ years) is proving possible here, and how airflow, rickhouse architecture, and shade trees may matter as much as the mash bill.Barrel consolidation ("topping off") — a labor-intensive practice borrowed from Scotch and Canadian whiskey that halts the "snowball effect" of angel's share loss and staving damage in half-empty barrels.The Solera method, Americanized — how Nicole adapted sherry's fractional-blending system into a 12-year-minimum-age bourbon blend using vintage cognac, port, muscatel, and Bordeaux vats.Craft philosophy over collectibility — Nicole's approach favors consistent quality and drinkability over hype-driven, numbered limited releases.Proof point and dilution culture — a pushback on "proof-chasing" in the bourbon community, and why a 104-proof whiskey can outperform higher-proof releases in balance and accessibility.Bourbon history and place — Shively's forgotten legacy as a distilling capital, and Stitzel-Weller's connection to figures like Julian "Pappy" Van Winkle.Featured GuestNicole Austin — Director of American Whiskey Liquid Development and Capabilities, Diageo. Former general manager and master blender at Cascade Hollow (George Dickel), now overseeing extended-age and innovation projects at Stitzel-Weller, including the Stitzel Reserve line and Blade and Bow.Featured WhiskeyBlade and Bow 12-Year Solera BourbonMinimum age: 12 years (in new American oak)Proof: 104MSRP: $64.99Process: Fractional Solera blending across vintage cognac, port, muscatel, and Bordeaux vatsQuick LinksFollow The Bourbon Lens on Instagram for bottle drop alertsVisit Stitzel-Weller Distillery in Shively, Louisville, KY

The crew reviews Dancing Goat Distillery, two inaugural whiskey expressions of Stillman's Sonder whiskey, which represent  three generations of dedication to the craft.   Bourbon — aged in both Andean and American Oak barrels with texture and concentration pushed through several double oaked components. Barrels were spoon proofed at times with encouraged oxidation through short fills and vatting before bottling at 94 proof (47% ABV) American Single Malt — distilled in Indiana and aged in Wisconsin. After initial maturation, it underwent three rounds of blending, re-barreling, and finishing across a range of casks – including virgin oak, ex-bourbon, Wisconsin brandy, Cognac, and Calvados – before bottling at 96.4 proof (48.2% ABV)

Welcome to the conclusion of Chapter 3 of The Lost History of Bourbon. Today, we will conclude our investigation into Rep. Virgin Chapman's claim that Jacob Spears of Bourbon County built the first distillery west of the Alleghenies and made the first straight Bourbon whiskey. We're on the edge of the Whiskey Revolution and a developing of markets for Bourbon whiskey. And we're still in the 18th century. Hold on folks. There is a lot of Bourbon history that has never been fully told. You'll hear it in these rough draft episodes from my upcoming book The Lost History of Bourbon.

On this Episode of The Bourbon Life Podcast presented by VisitLEX, Damon Thayer and Andre Regard, co-founders of Kentucky Senator Bourbon, return to the show for another fun conversation about the continued growth of the brand, their newest releases, and what's ahead.   Damon and Andre catch Mark up on some big changes for Kentucky Senator Bourbon, including moving much of their storage and bottling operations to Bardstown Bourbon Company, launching an online store that can ship to 46 states, and continuing to expand their presence at bourbon festivals and events.   They also talk about their deliberate approach to growing the brand, an inventory that now includes more than 700 barrels aging at four Kentucky distilleries, and why they remain committed to producing traditional, age-stated Kentucky bourbon.   The guys also dive into the stories behind two of their recent releases. Damon shares the personal connection behind the 8.5-year-old Jim Bunning release, honoring his longtime political mentor and the former U.S. Senator who helped establish September as National Bourbon Heritage Month. Andre talks about taking Kentucky Senator Bourbon back to his Louisiana roots with the 8-year-old Huey P. Long Louisiana Senator release and their plans to follow it with Rose Long and Russell Long releases, creating a unique three-bottle family vertical. They also look ahead at the new Thoroughbred Legacy Series, a single-barrel program inspired by Damon and Andre's longtime connections to Kentucky's horse industry, and reflect on just how far Kentucky Senator Bourbon has come since its first release in 2021.   To bring things full circle, they revisit that original 15-year-old Alben W. Barkley Bourbon and the unforgettable story of transporting the whiskey across Lexington during an ice storm so they could get their first bottles into commerce. And, of course, they taste and review three different Kentucky Senator Bourbon expressions, including:   • Kentucky Senator Jim Bunning Bourbon – 8.5 Year • Louisiana Senator Huey P. Long Bourbon – 8 Year • Kentucky Senator Alben W. Barkley Bourbon – 15 Year   It's a wide-ranging conversation about bourbon, history, storytelling, thoughtful growth, Kentucky's horse industry, and building a whiskey brand one bottle and one relationship at a time.   This episode of The Bourbon Life Podcast is presented by VisitLEX and sponsored by Bluegrass Distillers, Pappy & Co., District 7 Social, The Kitchen Table at the James B. Beam Distilling Co., and Hotel Distil.

Send us Fan MailThis episode has been a couple weeks in the making, but it's one that we're very excited to bring you, dear listeners. The question often arises to whether bourbon and wine cane pair together, and this week, I'm fortunate enough to be joined by MyDailyBourbon AKA Chad Watson to learn about those nuances and find out how we can actually make the perfect pairings happen. Plus, I wax poetic about the poet of food and culture himself, Anthony Bourdain, for an inordinate amount of time before realizing that I should've simply said that you should watch, read, and listen to his own words and understand that the man himself was irreplaceable and inimitable. This is truly one that shouldn't be missed or forgotten in the annals of TIMBP history.
