In this eye-opening episode, we explore how an Ohio distillery has transformed from a small craft operation into one of North America's largest independent distilleries, culminating in their recent acquisition of Colorado's Old Elk Whiskey.Ryan Lang founded Middle West Spirits in 2008 with a vision to create a true "Ohio bourbon experience." Unlike many who source ingredients from across the country, Middle West embraces a genuine grain-to-glass philosophy using exclusively Ohio-grown grains and partnering with Speyside Bourbon Cooperage in Jackson for their barrels. This commitment to local terroir is paying dividends as their whiskey gains national recognition.The star of our tasting was their Michelson Cast Strength Wheated Four-Grain Bourbon (Batch 001), bottled at a robust 122.2 proof. What immediately captivated our panel was its complexity without astringency – delivering notes of butterscotch, caramel, toffee, and what one panelist described as "warm pumpernickel rye bread with butter." The unique four-grain mash bill features non-GMO yellow corn, soft red winter wheat, two-row barley, and dark pumpernickel rye.During our Old Louisville Barrel Bottle Breakdown, this bourbon scored an impressive 17 out of 18 points, with particular praise for its thick mouthfeel, complex flavor profile, and lingering finish that rivals established barrel-proof bourbons costing significantly more. At approximately $70, it represents exceptional value in today's premium bourbon market.Middle West's expansion has been nothing short of remarkable. Their new 75,000 square foot facility produces approximately 14,000 barrels every three months, tripling their workforce and managing over 25,000 acres of Ohio grain farmland. With this capacity and their acquisition of Old Elk, Middle West is positioned to become a dominant force in American whiskey production.Whether you're a bourbon enthusiast looking for the next frontier or simply appreciate craftsmanship and innovation, Middle West Spirits deserves your attention. They're proving that world-class whiskey can come from unexpected places when passion meets commitment to quality and local sourci Add for SOFL If You Have GohstsSupport 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/

In this episode, we discuss generated faces, internet noise, and brotherly dynamics. A strong sibling bond doesn't mean zero conflict. It means noticing drift before you're miles apart and trusting each other enough to realign. There's no such thing as flawless communication, so you learn to navigate the friction with a mix of clarity, respect, and well-timed eyebrow raises.Support Crashlands 2!Official Website: https://www.bscotch.net/games/crashlands-2/Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ib7fzLf59voSteam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1401730/Crashlands2/Google Play:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bscotch.crashlands2Apple: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/crashlands-2/id152819933100:27 Intro00:44 Thanks to our supporters!

This week, we talk about patch 1.2, Steam Deck verification, and code comments. Writing code is one thing; leaving behind notes future you can understand is a whole other game.

In this episode, we discuss plushies, player feedback, and patch 1.1. Not all feedback is easy to digest. Sometimes it's sour, spicy, and hard to swallow.

On this week's edition of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas podcast, we're at Butterscotch in the Bentonville Square- you know the place- part bakery, part bar. We get into that, but first! FOOD NEWS! Applications are open for the Arkansas Food Hall of Fame... The original location of Slim Chickens is closed until summer, we think. We took video yesterday and, well, the original building is gone. Cobblestone Farms in Fayetteville is now reserving 2025 Spring/Summer CSA shares.... The 2nd annual NWA's shortest St. Patrick's Day parade has been announced. We have the particulars. Fayetteville's Spoon Fusion Korea Oh-K Dog on Dickson Street will temporarily close starting today and will re-open the 24th, according to their social media post. (*) Some sad news to report. Popular Fayetteville Food Truck Swag Banh Mi announced yesterday that they'll be closing down in 3 months. We'll hear why from a co-owner. Sam Gibson is the Director of Operations and Bar Manager of Butterscotch Bakery and Bar in the Bentonville Square. He's been there since he helped concept it with longtime friends and owners Sam and Larissa KcKenzie. He'll tell us why it's a bakery and bar, of course, a unique pairing.. Also, how did they wrangle prime real estate on the Bentonville square?!?! We'll hear that story as well. We'll talk about the bakery and what Sam wants to see on store shelves nation-wide from there, and he makes us some EXCEPTIONAL Butterscotch Old Fashions, I can say that it's the best Old Fashion that I've ever had... Sidenote- a bit of explicit language in this one, so plan accordingly. Thanks for listening- listen wherever you get your podcasts, and watch now on YouTube!

This week, we talk about achievements, game modes, and getting older. With age comes creaking joints, a myriad of responsibilities, and the horrors. But getting older also grants you the freedom to let go of the nonsense, clarity on what truly matters, and maybe, if you're lucky, even a majestic beard. Is that what wisdom is?Support Crashlands 2!Official Website: https://www.bscotch.net/games/crashlands-2/Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ib7fzLf59voSteam Wishlist: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1401730/Crashlands2/Google Play:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bscotch.crashlands2Apple: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/crashlands-2/id1528199331Closed Beta Sign-up: Playtest Application00:18 Intro00:54 Thanks to our supporters!

This week, Orvis's Tom Rosenbauer and Shawn Combs take a claw hammer to a redfish skull and get drunk with carp envy, we get high on boiled peanuts and try tie to striper flies, trade expensive gear for an inflatable doll, and figure out where Bob Ross hid all the bodies. 

In this episode, we discuss beta testing, boss fights, and collaboration. Collaborating with other studios sounds like a dream: by our creative forces combined, and all that. But true, meaningful collaboration isn't just a walk in the park. Finding a way for everyone's quirks and constraints to mesh is not an easy task. And then after that, you still have a game to make!Support Crashlands 2!Official Website: https://www.bscotch.net/games/crashlands-2/Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ib7fzLf59voSteam Wishlist: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1401730/Crashlands2/Google Play:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bscotch.crashlands2Apple: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/crashlands-2/id1528199331Closed Beta Sign-up: Playtest Application00:22 Intro00:46 Thanks to our supporters!

This week, we talk about localized trailers, mundane tasks, and ads. In the attention economy, ads are tricky beasts. They're expensive, algorithm-driven, and rarely pay off. But when they work, they can boost visibility and create momentum critical for a game's success. It's all about strategic spikes rather than an ongoing burn.Support Crashlands 2!Official Website: https://www.bscotch.net/games/crashlands-2/Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ib7fzLf59voSteam Wishlist: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1401730/Crashlands2/Google Play:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bscotch.crashlands2Apple: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/crashlands-2/id1528199331Closed Beta Sign-up: Playtest Application00:22 Intro00:41 Thanks to our supporters!

This week, we talk about 2024 stats, community engagement, and integration. Making things work together is never simple. Small changes can cause big ripples, and keeping the machine running means constant tweaks, steady fixes, and the occasional facepalm. In the end, it all comes down to communication because nothing integrates without people staying in sync.Support Crashlands 2!Official Website: https://www.bscotch.net/games/crashlands-2/Trailer: https://youtu.be/yR_Opccn1n4Steam Wishlist: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1401730/Crashlands2/00:29 Intro00:48 Thanks to our supporters!
