In today's episode, Will and the Greeze dive into some of the hottest news in the whiskey world, starting off with a few lighthearted updates from their own lives—including musings on campers and Diet Coke memes—before shifting into a spirited discussion about recent bourbon releases. You'll hear their candid reactions and analysis on the highly-anticipated Eagle Rare 12 Year, its surprising price point, and how Buffalo Trace plans to roll it out as a permanent (yet probably scarce) addition to shelves. The conversation weaves through other upcoming bottles like Old Fitzgerald 7 Year and the new Wild Turkey 8 Year, with the hosts debating market trends, allocation realities, and the potential for these whiskeys to actually be accessible for regular drinkers. The guys also celebrate the return of a beloved local favorite—Belle Meade Bourbon—getting into the story behind its relaunch and what to expect from its new blend. And, of course, no episode would be complete without a tasting: listen in as Will and the Greeze crack open the Wild Turkey 8 Year, share their first impressions, and decide if it earns a place as a new home bar essential. If you're a bourbon geek, looking for candid takes, laughs, and real talk about what's happening on store shelves (and behind the scenes), this episode is packed for you. Pour yourself a dram, settle in, and let's get into it!

Whiskey and… taxes? In this episode of Whiskey@Work, Rob and Mark do the unthinkable, crunch numbers. Kicked off by a viral TikTok, the guys dive deep into the federal excise tax world of bourbon, busting myths about what distillers owe and when. But don't worry, math class is short-lived. The real star of the show is Benchmark Whiskey. With the full line finally available in South Dakota, Rob and Mark crack open the 80-proof Black Label and the 86-proof Top Floor. No snobbery here, just budget-friendly bourbon, Buffalo Trace mash bills, and a whole lot of gratitude to Sheila Seger Ogborn. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week on Chill Filtered, it's Bryan's birthday, and the celebration calls for something truly special: Old Forester Birthday Bourbon — the 2017 release. It's a pour worthy of the occasion, and Bryan even gets to open up a pretty awesome birthday gift on air. Before sipping, Cole and Bryan chat about dating apps, the famous marshmallow experiment in child psychology, and a few classic birthday reflections. It's fun, personal, and full of the usual nonsense you've come to expect. On Whiskey World News, Bryan shares details about Buffalo Trace's new Eagle Rare 12-Year release. And on “What Whiskey Would You Choose?”, he poses a fun dilemma: Would you rather have a whole bottle of a decently allocated whiskey or just one pour of an insanely rare unicorn bottle? Join the birthday party, pour something nice, and enjoy a big episode for a big day.

What follows is a genuine, unfiltered evaluation based purely on taste preferences rather than reputation or price tag."Brown sugar, cinnamon bun, and caramel" notes dominate the conversation as they work through uniquely color-coded samples, discovering significant flavor differences despite all expressions sharing the same wheated bourbon DNA. Super Nash and Tiny's palates pick up distinctive profiles ranging from "pure caramel" to "candy apple with cinnamon," highlighting how aging conditions and proof points transform Buffalo Trace's beloved distillate.When the bottles are finally revealed, William LaRue Weller unanimously claims first place, confirming its reputation as an exceptional limited release. However, several rankings prove genuinely surprising, particularly the performance of Weller CYPB and Full Proof compared to the highly allocated Weller 12 Year. These results challenge conventional wisdom about which Weller expressions truly deliver the best drinking experience.Between passionate disagreements about rankings and hilarious confusion during the reveal, the tasting demonstrates why blind evaluation remains the ultimate test of quality. For bourbon enthusiasts chasing allocated Weller bottles, this episode provides valuable insight into which expressions might actually deserve the hunt—and which might be sitting overlooked on shelves.Whether you're a seasoned Weller collector or bourbon curious, join us for this entertaining and informative journey through Buffalo Trace's most celebrated wheated Add for SOFL voice over Whiskey ThiefSupport the showhttps://www.scotchybourbonboys.com The Scotchy bourbon Boys are #3 in Feedspots Top 60 whiskey podcasts in the world https://podcast.feedspot.com/whiskey_podcasts/

With a career that began in the attractions industry at Cedar Point, Tyler brings decades of experience in guest services, marketing, and operations. At Buffalo Trace in Frankfort, Kentucky, he now leads one of the most immersive brand-based visitor experiences in the spirits industry. Buffalo Trace is not only a functioning distillery but also a destination attracting over 700,000 visitors annually. In this interview, Tyler talks about bourbon as an attraction, creating connections with consumers, and recovering before the crisis starts. Bourbon as an Attraction “A lot of our visitors say this was like an adult Disneyland for them.” Tyler describes the Buffalo Trace Distillery as a pilgrimage destination for bourbon enthusiasts. While some visitors may arrive with no prior interest in spirits, many leave with a deep appreciation for the experience. The distillery is steeped in history, with active production taking place on a site that has been distilling for hundreds of years. Unlike fabricated environments, guests witness the genuine operations, including forklifts and barrel transport, as part of their tour. This authenticity, paired with complimentary tastings and educational touchpoints, creates a unique environment where bourbon is not just a beverage—it's the centerpiece of a full-fledged attraction experience. The sensory immersion of walking through historic warehouses and experiencing the sounds and aromas of production connects guests to the brand in a meaningful way. Tyler highlights how guests often leave with a deeper understanding, even if they never become bourbon drinkers. This inclusive approach—paired with tangible takeaways like handcrafted items made from retired barrels—turns Buffalo Trace into a destination that mirrors the magic of traditional theme parks, but with the cultural and historic significance of Kentucky bourbon. Creating Connections with Consumers “Our whole mission is to create connections with our consumers to bring a brand to life.” At Buffalo Trace, the visitor experience is part of the marketing department—deliberately designed to transform consumers into brand advocates. Tyler compares the distillery to other brand homes like World of Coke or the Guinness Storehouse, but emphasizes that Buffalo Trace offers something distinct: authenticity without theming. Rather than a stylized walkthrough, guests engage with the actual production process in real time. These interactions create deep brand loyalty and foster connections not only between the brand and consumers, but also among guests themselves. Tyler notes that many visitors bond with each other during their tours, united by a shared passion. The distillery encourages storytelling, with team members who listen and respond to guests' personal narratives. Through elements like bourbon tastings and handcrafted woodcrafts, visitors leave with more than just a souvenir—they leave with a story and a relationship to the brand. Recovering Before the Crisis Starts “We were preparing for it. And we got to the point where we did everything we could… and actually started planning for recovery.” In early 2024, Buffalo Trace experienced a major flood due to record water levels in the Kentucky River. Tyler shares how the team used forecasting models to anticipate the crisis before it fully struck, allowing them to shift into recovery mode even before the peak flooding occurred. This proactive approach enabled them to reopen in phases—first with pop-up tastings, followed by partial retail access, and eventually full tours. Tyler emphasizes that the key to their successful recovery was collaboration and communication. The leadership team divided responsibilities based on both timing and physical space. Some team members focused on immediate cleanup, while others strategized for future phases of reopening. Communication was also prioritized across all 200 team members, including live video broadcasts and daily updates to ensure transparency. Tyler believes this level of engagement—both internally and externally—was not only critical to recovery, but also a reflection of the brand's value of authenticity. The crisis became a real-time demonstration of Buffalo Trace's commitment to its people and guests.

We came to the realization that we haven't covered a lot of the more generic "corporate" whiskey on this podcast, so we decided to change that! On this episode we dive into Basil Hayden, Buffalo Trace, Ezra Brooks 99, and Old Forester 100. We sip them, we talk about them, we compare them, and we rate them -- all in one episode! We do the hard work, so you don't have to. Cheers!
Even though it's 2025. the 2024 batches of Stagg (Jr) are still just now hitting certain markets. It's hard to believe that there are four batches of Stagg now! How the times have changed. Uncut and unfiltered, Stagg is a classic bourbon that is approximately a decade old, carries a high proof, and represents the one of the pioneers of what we now know as modern day Buffalo Trace. This whiskey needs no introduction. We've reviewed it before, but Stagg newbies and enthusiasts alike know that there is a lot of variation between batches. Thanks to a wonderful listener (Brian) who sent us samples of both batches, we are able to give you our honest and candid assessment. Some have said that Stagg 24D is one of the best batches in recent years. What do we think? You'll have to listen to find out. We also talk about a bad grilling experience that Anthony had recently as well as some local bourbon drama. We forgot to do a "pass, try, or buy," but Stagg is always a buy if you can get it for retail price. --------------------------SocialsIG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupkyFB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupkyYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupkyPartnership(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!
Wild Turkey asked Buffalo Trace for help. Buffalo Trace said, “Sure, we'll use your recipe... but we're gonna do it our way.” Fourteen years later, Wild Turkey tasted the final product and basically said, “Yeah, this ain't it.” What followed is a bourbon hand-me-down saga involving secret barrels, shady brokers, inflated secondary prices, and a bunch of bottles now floating around under a lot of different labels.Was this a rare collectible masterpiece—or just a $3,500 accident?In this episode of The Spill, Matt, Jason, and special guest Kendra dive into the infamous Buff Turkey debacle, tasting the whiskey, unpacking the shady labeling, and debating whether this whole thing was a smart pivot or bourbon dumpster fire.
Welcome to Arsenic Culture. This Heavy Pour dives deep into the elusive, “allegedly illegal” world of the bourbon secondary market. From Facebook secret groups and coded lingo to John Wick status bottles and $2,000 price tags, this episode exposes how rare bourbon gets bought, sold, and—maybe—smuggled in the modern age.We talk insider etiquette, scam red flags, Buffalo Trace's crackdown, and how collectible bottles like Pappy and Blanton's turned into high-stakes currency.
Hosts Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter, connecting remotely from Colorado and Kentucky respectively, discuss recent happenings in the bourbon world and taste a couple of whiskies. Jim is in Colorado Springs for a Derby party, having flown out of Louisville on Derby Day. He mentions winning an exacta on the Derby race. He is sipping on Woodford Reserve Distiller's Select 90.4 proof, the annual Derby bottle, describing it as a traditional Woodford. He notes that at the Derby party, they were making mint juleps with Evan Williams Bottled-in-Bond, and while not his favorite drink, he partook. He even helped make the simple syrup. Todd is drinking Penelope Architect, the third in their series. It's a straight bourbon whiskey sourced from MGP, finished in French oak staves, bottled at 104 proof, and retails around $65. Todd finds it nice, noting the MGP cherry character and a "funky oak" from the French staves. They discuss Lost Lantern's new monthly subscription service, which recently launched after they had previously speculated about something similar. The service costs $90 a month plus shipping for a different bottle each month, special sign-up bottles, behind-the-scenes stories, exclusive events, virtual tastings, and early access to new releases. News from Buffalo Trace includes an announcement that they are adding an EH Taylor bottled-in-bond to the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection (BTAC). They speculate it will be a well-aged version and note that some EH Taylor bottles already fetch prices similar to BTAC on the secondary market. They express hope that these will be findable, perhaps requiring waiting in line as in past years. Other news includes the release of the new Wild Turkey 8-year 101, which is starting to hit shelves at an MSRP of $49. They note that 8 years is the minimum age, and it could contain older stock. They are looking forward to reviewing it and comparing it to the 70th-anniversary release. Whiskey Thief has released their 2025 Mayday Rye, a 7-year-old, 146 proof (hazmat) rye. It's available at their distillery in Frankfort and their new tasting room in Louisville, and they are now shipping to some states. The hosts praise Whiskey Thief's ryes. Jim mentions an upcoming interview and tour at Law's Whiskey House in Denver during his Colorado trip. He notes Law's has established itself as a pioneer in Colorado whiskey, particularly with their bottled-in-bond and American single malts. Jim's second pour is the 291 Colorado Rye Whiskey finished in Aspen wood staves and maple syrup barrels, the "M" release, at 122 proof. He finds it has a great maple sweetness and notes that 291 whiskies are generally easy to identify due to their unique profile. He mentions his son recently volunteered bottling and labeling at 291, noting things are going well for the distillery. Todd's second pour is Pikesville Straight Rye from Heaven Hill, 110 proof and 6 years old, retailing around $50. He considers it a classic and a great value rye. He recalls being introduced to it during an interview with Bernie Lubbers at the Evan Williams Experience. They briefly discuss the Heaven Hill rye mashbill used for Rittenhouse and Elijah Craig Ryes, noting different proofs and ages. They talk about recent trends, including the rise of ready-to-drink (RTD) cocktails, which are exploding in popularity, especially with younger consumers. They mention that the largest distillery in the US is now producing White Claw. While neither host is personally a big fan of seltzers or most RTDs, they acknowledge the market demand and hope bourbon is well-represented in this category. They also discuss the growing trend of THC-infused beverages, noting that hemp-derived THC under 0.3% by weight is federally legal. They express confusion about the health claims and draw parallels to the initial marketing of vaping as a safe alternative to cigarettes. They mention a recent barrel pick they did at James E. Pepper Distillery in Lexington for Bourbon on the Banks. They tasted three barrels and selected a bourbon, choosing one they felt would appeal more broadly, although they personally favored another with a great nose (vanilla icing, cake batter). They highlight the historical tour at James E. Pepper, discussing the distillery's long history and the role of James E. Pepper's wife. They note they also tried an excellent rye there aged 7-8 years. They discuss the recent move of RD1 Spirits to a new location and Macaulay Minton's Dark Arts moving into the old RD1 space, noting Macaulay's unique tastes and the interesting decor. They mention Sarah Algrim joining Macaulay. Beau Cumberland's Frankfurt Bourbon documentary is highlighted, with an upcoming screening on Friday, June 13th at The Foundry in Frankfurt, kicking off Bourbon Week. The screening is donation-based, with proceeds going to Frankfurt flood victims. Todd is the narrator for the documentary and receives praise from Jim for his narration skills. They hope to make the documentary more widely available in the future. Jim mentions researching a historical Shannon distillery in Shelbyville from the early 1800s. They recommend Beau Cumberland's YouTube page for short interviews and mini-docs on American spirits. Jim concludes by noting the pleasant "chest hug" from the 291 rye and acknowledging the late hour for Todd. Todd mentions a busy day with his son's soccer game. They wrap up the episode, encouraging listeners to find The Bourbon Road on social media and subscribe to the podcast.

Buckle up, you beautiful degenerates, because the Whiskey Bros are back with Episode 121, and we've got Ty Rambo in the house—again! That's right, the man who drinks like a Viking and wakes up at 5 AM like he's got a meeting with Thor himself. This episode is a masterclass in why you should never trust your taste buds when they're blindfolded (or drunk).We kicked things off by revisiting our blind whiskey tasting, and oh boy, did it expose some truths. Old Rip Van Winkle? More like Old Rip-Off Winkle. Who knew the fancy bottle could taste like a $500 disappointment? Meanwhile, Evan Williams White Label came in like a champ, proving that sometimes the underdog is just better at playing the game. Cognitive bias? More like cognitive "bias against cheap whiskey."But we didn't stop there. We dove into the deep end of life's big questions: Why does God let bad things happen? Is free will just an excuse for bad decisions? And why are beauty pageants still a thing? (Spoiler: they're not, they're just an excuse for fake tans and incoherent answers about maps.)Locally, we're still salty about Decatur's parking lot drama. Paid parking? In our town? We suggested a hayride from the cigar lounge to the square—because why walk when you can hayride, right?And let's not forget the pinnacle of human achievement: automatic toilet seats. Why haven't we cracked this code yet? We're out here with self-driving cars, but we can't get a toilet that doesn't leave us doing the limbo every time we sit down. (Pro tip: don't pee on your hands, folks—it's a slippery slope.)So, grab your favorite pour—maybe something from Buffalo Trace if you're feeling fancy, or Evan Williams if you're feeling smart—and join us for a wild ride through whiskey, wisdom, and way too many toilet jokes.#WhiskeyBros #TyRambo #EvanWilliams #OldRipVanWinkle #PappyVanWinkle #VeryOldStNick #Weller #BuffaloTrace #EagleRare #Bookers #WildTurkey #WhistlePig #FatherTimeBourbon #RedRiverDistillery #CognitiveBias #BlindTasting #DecaturParking #ToiletTechnology #UnprofessionalPodcast #WhiskeyHumor #HangoverFree

This dusty bottle represents a unique moment in Kentucky whiskey history when Jim Beam owned the legendary brand created by Colonel EH Taylor Jr., the father of modern bourbon and champion of the 1897 Bottled-in-Bond Act.The journey of Old Taylor weaves through Kentucky's bourbon landscape – from Taylor's original distillery (now Castle & Key) through National Distillers during Prohibition, eventually landing at Jim Beam in 1972 where this particular bottle was produced using their classic 75% corn, 13% rye, 12% malted barley recipe. What makes this tasting extraordinary is experiencing how a modest 86-proof, six-year bourbon from four decades ago delivers exceptional quality that rivals today's premium offerings.Our Old Louisville Whiskey Company Barrel Bottle Breakdown reveals a perfect 18/18 score with remarkable tasting notes: burnt caramel corn aromatics, candy-like sweetness on the palate, and a surprising maple syrup finish that lingers impressively. The viscosity and mouthfeel defy its modest proof, creating an experience that transcends time and connects us directly to bourbon's golden era before the modern whiskey boom.For bourbon enthusiasts, these dusty treasures offer more than nostalgic sipping – they provide perspective on how distillation, aging, and blending techniques have evolved while highlighting the consistent craftsmanship that defines Kentucky's signature spirit.

In this gloriously unprofessional episode, the Bros and special guest Ty Rambo attempt a blind tasting showdown between high-end and low-end whiskeys — and chaos absolutely ensues. Featuring pours from Pappy Van Winkle, Old St. Nick, Booker's, E.H. Taylor, Buffalo Trace, Early Times, Evan Williams Bottled in Bond, and Longbranch — the night spirals into intense debates about tasting notes, trash talking, philosophical reflections on drinking culture, and the official coronation of our audience as The Unprofessionals. Some whiskeys soared, some legends crumbled... and at some point, microplastic cleanse theories and heated debates over driveway weeds somehow entered the chat. If you've ever wondered whether taste, price, and reputation actually matter—or if you just want to hear grown men nearly come to blows over cinnamon notes—this is your episode. Dead bottles everywhere. Reputations nowhere to be found. Welcome to the way whiskey was meant to be judged: unfiltered, unapologetic, and beautifully unprofessional.#DeadBottlesEverywhere #WhiskeyBrosPodcast #TheUnprofessionals #BlindTastingMadness #WhiskeyWisdom #CinnamonCity #UnfilteredAndUnapologetic #BuffaloTraceConfusion #TasteBudsBetrayed #HighEndLowTaste #MiddleAgedAndMagnificent #WeedWarsAndWhiskey #CertifiedUnprofessional #DrinkersWithoutBorders #UnqualifiedSommeliers #BuffaloTrace #EarlyTimes #EvanWilliams #LongbranchBourbon #PappyVanWinkle #OldStNick #BookersBourbon #EHTaylor

Handy Sazerac Rye from the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. Uncut, unfiltered, and full of intense spice and caramel sweetness, this rye whiskey hits hard, much like the G-forces in Drax's centrifuge.Join me as I break down Bond's most out-of-this-world adventure while sipping on a rye that's as powerful as a Moonraker laser blast.

Welcome back to the Drinks and a Movie Podcast! In this seventh episode of my James Bond series, I'm diving into Diamonds Are Forever (1971), which marks Sean Connery's return as Bond after a break from the role. This film, while classic in its own right, is also notable for its place in the Bond franchise's continuity—or lack thereof. Diamonds Are Forever, along with On Her Majesty's Secret Service and You Only Live Twice, deviates from the correct order of Ian Fleming's novels. The correct sequence is Thunderball, followed by On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and then You Only Live Twice. This shift is significant because it disrupts the emotional and narrative through-line, especially when it comes to Bond's relationship with Tracy and the aftermath of her death, which was central to On Her Majesty's Secret Service. By skipping over the emotional weight that should have followed, Diamonds Are Forever somewhat lightens the thematic stakes of Bond's character arc, leaning into a more campy, adventurous tone instead of the emotional depth seen in Fleming's books.To pair with this film, I'm sipping on Elmer T. Lee Single Barrel Sour Mash Bourbon, crafted from Buffalo Trace's Mash Bill #2. Elmer T. Lee, a legendary figure in the bourbon world. He was became a master distiller at Buffalo Trace and was instrumental in the creation of Blanton's Bourbon. His single barrel sour mash bourbon is known for its smooth, rich profile, making it the perfect companion for a Bond film that balances high stakes with a lighter, more fun tone. Join me as I discuss how Diamonds Are Forever shifts the tone of the Bond saga, why the change in the novel order matters thematically, and why Elmer T. Lee's bourbon is an ideal drink to accompany this spirited, yet somewhat disjointed, chapter in Bond's story.
Welcome back to the Drinks and a Movie Podcast! In this sixth episode of my James Bond series, I'm diving into On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969), a film that marked a major turning point in the franchise with the recasting of James Bond—enter George Lazenby in his sole outing as 007. This film stands out for its emotional depth and a more vulnerable Bond, as well as the unforgettable romance between Bond and Tracy Di Vicenzo.To pair with this pivotal Bond movie, I'm sipping on Hancock's President's Reserve Bourbon, crafted with Buffalo Trace's Mash Bill #2. This bourbon's rich and complex flavor profile offers a perfect balance of smoothness and depth, complementing the emotional and action-packed ride of On Her Majesty's Secret Service.Join me as I explore Lazenby's unique take on the role, discuss the movie's standout moments, and share why Hancock's President's Reserve is an excellent choice for this unexpected yet powerful entry in the 007 saga. Grab your glass, settle in, and let's enjoy this classic Bond film with a bourbon that's as rich and layered as the movie itself.

Welcome back to the Drinks and a Movie Podcast! In this third episode of my James Bond series, I'm diving into Goldfinger (1964), one of the most iconic entries in the Bond franchise. With its unforgettable villain, Auric Goldfinger, and characters like Odd Job and Pussy Galore, this film is a true classic that helped shape the Bond formula we all know and love.For this episode, I'm pairing the action-packed spy thriller with Weller Full Proof, a bold and powerful bourbon that packs a punch, much like the film itself.

Its bold, full-bodied flavor perfectly complements the intensity and sophistication of Bond's latest mission. Join me as I break down the film's timeless appeal, discuss what makes it a standout in the series, and share why Weller Antique 107 is the perfect pour for this classic spy adventure.Grab a glass, tune in, and let's dive into another unforgettable Bond movie!
