As a historical researcher, one of the time periods I seem to have the least knowledge of is the history of this latest whiskey boom. As luck would have it, today I get a chance to dive into that history with someone who lived it. Meet Noah Rothbaum, the author of the upcoming book The Whiskey Bible: The Complete Guide to the World's Greatest Spirit. For 25 years, he's seen whiskey go from inconsequential in an era where whiskey trails were non-existent, to today's whiskey boom. Motivation that led to Noah getting into whiskey writing The landscape of whiskey at the turn of this century Mad Man myth or truth? Bourbon's domination of the American story, yet limited brands The rise of rye and craft The trip to St. Andrews and where Scotch whisky interest was at the time  The first distillery visit Canadian, Irish, Japanese, and the development of World whiskies.

This nine-year-old farm-based operation has emerged as a beacon of craft distilling excellence in the Great Lakes region, creating whiskeys that honor local agricultural traditions while pushing creative boundaries.The distillery's story mirrors the lifecycle of the steelhead trout that swim in the nearby Betsy River—the namesake "iron fish" that return to their birthplace after journeying through Lake Michigan. Similarly, Iron Fish represents a return of spirits to their agricultural origins, where grain and water transform into something greater than the sum of their parts.During our visit, we explored their impressive 80-acre operation where they've just harvested over 100,000 pounds of hazelnut rye destined for their whiskey. Their strategic approach to growth—sourcing quality MGP whiskey for creative barrel finishing while patiently waiting for their own distillate to mature—has positioned them for long-term success rather than rushing immature product to market.The Mad Angler series stands as their premium offering, featuring 100% house-distilled spirits aged six years. Drawing inspiration from local author Michael Delp, these bottles literally emboss the connection between fishing culture and whiskey appreciation. The 95% rye whiskey delivers balanced spearmint and chocolate notes without overwhelming dill characteristics, while their four-grain bourbon offers exceptional complexity at 94 proof. Most impressive is their experimental Manifesto series, which grants blender Isaac complete creative freedom to work with any barrel on the property, resulting in truly distinctive expressions.What makes Iron Fish exceptional isn't just the quality of their spirits but their holistic approach to the craft. From their barrel selection process—working with both local cooper Joe Smith and premium Napa Valley suppliers—to their careful consideration of proof points, every decision serves the spirit rather than 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/

Abbott And Costello 48-09-08 Double Murder At The Liquor Distillery

In 1753, Swiss Mennonite farmer John Shenk founded Shenk's distillery, which was later renamed Bomberger's Distillery in the 1800s before having its name changed once again to Michter's Distillery in the mid-20th Century. It is this great heritage that we honor with the release of Bomberger's Declaration and Shenk's Homestead which comprise our Michter's Legacy Series.

In this episode of The Bourbon Road, hosts Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter hit the road and set up their mics at the beautiful RD1 Distillery in Lexington, Kentucky. It's a return visit for RD1—last featured in Episode 340—but this time, things have evolved. The distillery has expanded its footprint, sharpened its brand, and doubled down on innovation in wood finishing. Joining the conversation are Barry Brinegar and Jared Gollihue, two key figures behind RD1's growth and vision. Barry and Jared walk us through RD1's roots in Lexington's rich whiskey history, tracing the lineage back to the original Ashland Distillery of 1865 and William Tarr's acquisition in 1871. The episode goes deep into what makes RD1 unique—its mission to celebrate Lexington's place in the bourbon world and its bold exploration of finishing techniques. Jared, RD1's in-house blending and wood science expert, sheds light on the flavor development process and how the team is crafting expressions that push boundaries while staying grounded in quality Kentucky tradition. Of course, no Bourbon Road episode is complete without tasting—and this one delivers four pours that showcase RD1's philosophy and style.

Send us a textWe explore the innovative world of RD1 Spirits with Barry Brinegar and Dr. Jared Gollihue, discovering how scientific methodology is reshaping bourbon finishing techniques at their new Lexington distillery.• RD1's journey from honoring William Tarr's 1865 legacy to becoming pioneers in wood-finished Kentucky bourbon• Dr. Jared Gollihue's scientific approach to wood finishing, bringing PhD-level expertise to bourbon production• The challenges of wood selection, including regulatory hurdles with the TTB and FDA for exotic wood species• Why whiskey needs time to "settle" after blending or opening, with flavor compounds needing time to recalculate• Beer barrel finishing experiments creating unique flavor profiles through a circular aging process• Sister Cities whiskey, blending bourbon and rye finished with French oak and Japanese Mizunara• Experimental offerings available only at the distillery's tasting room, including smoked oak and maple• RD1's position as an anchor tenant in Lexington's new entertainment district at The CommonsVisit RD1 Spirits at their new distillery location in The Commons in Lexington, Kentucky to experience their unique wood-finished bourbons and experimental offerings firsthand.What happens when scientific methodology meets the artistry of Kentucky bourbon? At RD1 Spirits' gleaming new distillery in Lexington, the answer is nothing short of revolutionary. Barry Brinegar and Dr. Jared Gollihue are writing bourbon's next chapter through methodical wood experimentation that transforms traditional Kentucky whiskey into something extraordinary. Their journey from honoring the William Tarr legacy to pioneering innovative finishing techniques demonstrates the untapped potential still waiting to be discovered in America's native spirit.The scientific precision behind RD1's approach is fascinating. Dr. Gollihue, with his PhD in wood maturation, doesn't just randomly add wood to barrels – he calculates precise ratios, documents every variable, and maintains 50+ test barrels simultaneously. When he explains why whiskey needs time to "recalculate" after blending or why flavor chemistry doesn't scale linearly, you realize this is bourbon-making at its most thoughtful.The tasting room offers an unparalleled experience where visitors can sample experimental barrels that showcase woods from around the world – Mizunara oak, sweet cherry, French oak, and even maple wood smoked on bourbon barrel staves. Their Sister Cities release brilliantly combines bourbon and rye with French and Japanese oak influences, honoring Lexington's international connections while creating a wholly unique whiskey expression.As an anchor tenant in Lexington's emerging entertainment district at The Commons, RD1 is positioned at the center of a bourbon tourism destination that will soon feature pickleball courts, axe throwing, and an amphitheater. This blend of innovation, accessibility, and Kentucky heritage makes RD1 a must-visit for anyone wondering what more Kentucky bourbon can do.Come taste the future of bourbon where science meets art – no lab coat required, but an adventurous palate is highly recommended.

In this episode of Bourbon Lens, Jake sits down with Colby and Ashley Frey, the husband-and-wife duo behind Frey Ranch Distillery in Fallon, Nevada. We dive into what it takes to operate a true farm distillery in a relatively remote part of the state, and the unique challenges—and rewards—that come with growing, harvesting, and distilling all of their own grain. Colby and Ashley share the journey of building Frey Ranch into one of America's most respected grain-to-glass operations, and how their rural location has shaped their approach to whiskey-making. From weather and farming logistics to connecting with whiskey lovers far from major cities, the Freys discuss how they've overcome obstacles with innovation, resilience, and community support. We also explore their new Five Grain Straight Bourbon, a distinctive release that features oats in the mash bill—joining corn, wheat, rye, and barley to create a complex and flavorful whiskey that's truly one-of-a-kind.

Authentic leadership through inner work is more than a practice, it's the key to unlocking your full potential and creating lasting impact as a leader. In this powerful episode of Reflect Forward, I sit down with Carrie Freeman, CEO and General Manager of Vara Winery and Distillery, who shares how embracing vulnerability, intuition, and self-awareness has completely transformed her leadership style and elevated her success. Carrie's extraordinary journey from global innovation executive to winery CEO illustrates how leading from the inside out creates deeper connections, stronger teams, and greater fulfillment. Carrie has a fascinating background, transitioning from her role as co-CEO of SecondMuse, a global innovation company that collaborated with organizations such as NASA, the White House, and the World Bank, to now running a thriving winery and distillery. We discuss the realities of operating a winery, examining how Carrie's leadership skills enabled her to enter an industry where she initially lacked expertise—and why being an outsider can sometimes provide the fresh perspective a business needs most. Throughout our conversation, Carrie highlights the misconception that humans are purely rational decision-makers. She emphasizes that relying exclusively on logic can limit our ability to lead effectively. By tapping into intuition, emotion, and inner wisdom, leaders can gain deeper insights, make better decisions, and build stronger relationships. Mic Drop Moment: • “Expertise is valuable, but curiosity is a superpower. When you admit you don't know everything, you unlock your team's full potential.” • “Sometimes there isn't a problem to solve. True leadership is knowing when to step back and let things unfold.” What You'll Learn in This Episode: • Why Expertise Isn't Everything • Inner Work as the Foundation for Outer Success • Balancing Masculine and Feminine Energy • Vulnerability as a Strength Key Takeaways: 1. Be Curious, Not Just Expert: Embrace curiosity and humility; empowering your team can often yield better solutions than claiming expertise. 2. Listen to Your Intuition: Great leaders trust their gut and heart as much as their intellect; purely rational decisions often miss deeper insights. 3. Integrate, Don't Balance: Leadership is not about perfect balance but about discerning when to engage action-oriented or intuitive energies effectively. 4. Lead with Vulnerability: Authenticity and vulnerability build deeper trust, stronger relationships, and a healthier organizational culture. 5. Recognize There Isn't Always a Problem to Solve: Resist the urge to fix everything; sometimes stepping back and allowing situations to naturally evolve is the best course of action. About Carrie Freeman: Carrie Freeman is the CEO and General Manager of Vara Winery and Distillery in Albuquerque, NM, and previously served as co-CEO of SecondMuse, a global innovation consultancy. Passionate about authentic leadership, innovation, and sustainability, Carrie guides leaders and businesses toward deeper success by emphasizing self-awareness, purpose, and authenticity.

In this episode of The Whiskey Trip, Big Chief rolls into Fort Worth, Texas, and steps inside a whiskey wonderland — the Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory of whiskey — known officially as Trinity River Distillery, home of Silver Star Spirits. Joining him are Thomas Ingham, CEO and President, and Brett Luchesi, Master Distiller. Together, they discuss how they've breathed new life into this historic site — including one standout feature: their use of purified Texas rainwater, harvested on-site, to proof their whiskey. It's a sustainable, terroir-driven touch that gives each bottle a literal taste of Texas skies. Built on 27 acres with over 250,000 square feet of warehouse space, this isn't just a distillery — it's a Texas whiskey empire. Housed inside the legendary Ranch Style Beans factory, built in 1911, this historic site has been transformed from a pantry icon into a cutting-edge whiskey destination, where old-school craftsmanship meets modern innovation. Big Chief opens the episode with Silver Star 1849 Bourbon, a rich, bold pour that honors the founding year of Fort Worth. With notes that recall saddle leather, toasted oak, and frontier grit, it's a fitting tribute to Texas Rangers and the dusty trail towns of Lonesome Dove. Next up is a special 100-proof fall release — a whiskey that surprises with bright orange marmalade sweetness, a silky, oily texture, and a subtle smokiness that settles in like a Texas campfire. It's a seasonal stunner designed for cooler nights and deeper conversations. From there, the trio continues tasting their way through the Silver Star lineup throughout the episode. But one surprise pour stops Big Chief in his tracks — Devil's Grin Gin. Distilled with a bold blend of botanicals, including Texas mesquite beans, this gin delivers an earthy, slightly smoky twist that defies every expectation. It's Texas terroir in a glass — and even a devoted whiskey man has to tip his hat. This episode is more than a whiskey tasting — it's a journey through legacy, innovation, and the spirit of Fort Worth. Pour a glass and ride along. And remember — Big Chief don't sip what don't speak the truth. Silver Star's got a whole lot to say, and every drop tells the story loud and proud.
