It's a rapid-fire round of weird on Strange Brew. Drinks: 1792 Cognac and crack open a few Spotted Cows. From the haunted stacks of Hull Public Library to the mournful Gray Lady of Liberty Hall, the guys swap ghost stories that blur history and haunting. Then the conversation shoots into orbit with talk of 3I/ATLAS: the interstellar object some Harvard minds think could be an alien probe. And just when you think the night's winding down, Wisconsin's own Beast of Bray Road lopes out of the dark to remind everyone that the Midwest has its monsters too.

Jim and Todd take the show on the road to the beautiful Elkwood Farm in Midway, Kentucky, home of Bluegrass Distillers. They sit down with friend of the show Sam Rock for his third appearance to discuss the distillery's incredible evolution and taste through a stellar lineup of their unique whiskeys. Sam shares the story of their new home, a historic farm they purchased in 2020 and transformed into a premier grain-to-glass distillery, complete with a stunning, speakeasy-style tasting room. The tasting journey begins with Bluegrass Distillers' signature 7-Year-Old Blue Corn Bourbon. Sam delves into the agricultural challenges and rewards of growing their own non-GMO blue corn, which imparts a distinctively nutty and balanced flavor compared to traditional yellow corn. This Bottled-in-Bond expression, made on their original pot still, offers a fantastic mouthfeel and a profile driven by the primary grain, a testament to the influence of unique corn varietals. Next, they sample the Midway 'Lee's Branch' Rye, a 7-year-old rye finished in toasted French oak barrels. This expression is part of the 'Midway' brand, a line of finished ryes that pays homage to the history of their new hometown. The hosts explore its complex notes of minty spice, toasty marshmallow, and a hint of Christmas spice, making for a perfect sipping rye. The third pour is a special single-barrel selection of their Toasted Oak Bourbon, bottled for the Bourbon Burn bike ride. Sam explains their double-barreling process, which involves reconditioning and toasting their own used barrels to bring sugars to the surface, creating a consistently sweet and balanced profile with notes of s'mores, toasted marshmallow, and rich chocolate. The lineup continues with a spectacular Spanish Oak Finished Bourbon. Sam recounts his journey to Spain during the pandemic-era barrel shortage, where he discovered a family-run cooperage that handcrafts barrels from aged staves. This 11-year-old sourced bourbon is finished in these unique Spanish Oak barrels, resulting in a deep mahogany color and a rich, savory flavor profile with a spicy, drying finish that captivates the hosts. To top off an incredible tasting, Sam brings out a bonus pour: a phenomenal 18-Year-Old Bourbon. This well-aged whiskey defies expectations, presenting not just oak and leather but a surprising and delightful burst of fruit, including notes of burnt cherry, sweet cream, and holiday fruitcake. The episode is a deep dive into what makes a modern distillery thrive, touching on the evolution of the bourbon consumer, the importance of authenticity, and the exciting future for Bluegrass Distillers, including plans for a restaurant, a bourbon club, and community events at their beautiful Midway location.

Bespoken Spirits isn't your typical whiskey distillery. Yes, they're based in the American bourbon heartland of Lexington, Kentucky, and yes, they often make private label whiskeys for clients. But everything from how Bespoken Spirits distills their whiskey to how they market it is done with the help of AI. Jordan Spitzer, their head of flavor, can finish a whiskey in days instead of years—while precisely crafting its taste—using their machine-learning backed approach. And Wane Lindsey, their director of marketing, credits AI tools with helping his tiny team punch way above their weight.The result is a whiskey that may not be traditional, but still tastes great—and in a fraction of the time it would otherwise take. That's time they can spend on the creative side of their craft and the work that has the most meaning: building brands and bespoke spirits that people will want to drink.On this episode, Jordan and Wane share how AI has helped them explore creative new ways to make and market whiskey—and why, no matter how smart our tools get, there's still no substitute for human taste.You can learn more about Bespoken Spirits at bespokenspirits.com~ ~ ~Working Smarter is brought to you by Dropbox Dash—the AI universal search and knowledge management tool from Dropbox.

Oregon Spirit Distillers (Bend, OR) WF073 Over the last 3 months, I've been scouring the United States for distilleries to list in my upcoming Experiencing American Whiskey book. But I've also been trying to find other things that would help whiskey fans discover new distilleries in each state. It was while trying to learn about Oregon's whiskey festivals that I was introduced to Brad Irwin, co-founder of Oregon Spirit Distillers. Brad and his wife Kathy run the annual Oregon Whiskey Festival each September at their distillery. It is just the kind of festival I was look for. So when it came time to plan out a trip to Oregon for a distillery visit on my Great 48 Tour, I thought, maybe I should stop by and see what this distillery is all about. Join me as I chat with Brad about starting with a wheat whiskey, how it differs from a "wheater" and talk about why the classics are always the best. Plus, I'll be popping into a store that many of you probably thought has long since disappeared.

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.

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!

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! Cheers and slainte mhath, Drew
