It has been a while but the guys bring you this week a good old fashioned duel of Double Barrel between two ten year bourbons.Old Forester 1924The Whiskey Row Series' 1924 10 – Year – Old is a limited annual release celebrating another milestone in Old Forester's storied history.During Prohibition, more than 200 distilleries were forced to close. Old Forester, however, continued operations because the federal government issued us one of six medicinal licenses, P-3. In 1924, Old Forester acquired barrels from closed distillers, with different mash bills, and bottled that liquid as Old Forester. This release commemorates that moment in time.Jack Daniel's 10 Jack Daniel's 10 Year Old Tennessee Whiskey highlights the modern day world-class whiskey expertise of their Distillery while honoring their past, and with a nod to Mr. Jack's original bottles includes its age stated on the label as their Distillery did more than a century ago.It has been around 120 years since the Jack Daniel Distillery offered a whiskey labeled as ten years of age or greater. But for the past decade they've been experimenting to create a whiskey that would honor the liquid Mr. Jack crafted at the end of the 1800s while keeping up with the growing demand for their whiskey around the world.

Hosts Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter, feature special guest David Sandlin, bourbon historian and owner of House of Commons in Frankfort, Kentucky . This episode, affectionately dubbed "Crazy Eights," embarks on a fascinating tasting journey through five different versions of Wild Turkey 8-year bourbon . The hosts and David analyze various expressions, starting with the recently released 2025 Wild Turkey 8-year 101 . They delve into its nose, noting hints of peanut shell, lemon, and a spicier, more prominent rye note than typically found in Wild Turkey, along with subtle clove and dark chocolate . The 2025 release is also described as more nutty and spicy compared to the 70th anniversary edition . Next up is the 70th Anniversary release, honored for Jimmy Russell's 70th anniversary . This expression showcases more classic citrus and honey notes, with a softer, more viscous palate and hints of overripe cherries . The discussion touches on the different Wild Turkey rickhouse campuses—Tyrone, McBrayer, and Camp Nelson—and their influence on the bourbon's profile .   The journey continues with the 2018 Wild Turkey 8-year 101, which presents a more subdued, classic Wild Turkey profile, with notes of citrus, dark fruits, and honey . Following this, the 2014 Wild Turkey 8-year 101 reveals a distinct "turkey funk," with rich toffee, caramel, and a unique savory, almost meaty flavor, suggesting a lower barrel entry proof . Finally, the 2002 Wild Turkey 8-year 101 is introduced as a "big hitter" . This expression is lauded for its rich, balanced oak and spice, creamy caramel, and evolving flavors of vanilla, offering a concentrated and complex experience . The hosts discuss the history of the 8-year expression, noting its absence from the American market since 1992 until recently, being primarily an export product . The podcast concludes with the hosts and David ranking their top three pours, with the 2002 taking the top spot, followed by the 2014 and the 70th Anniversary edition . David Sandlin, owner of House of Commons, is celebrated for his extensive knowledge of bourbon history, flavors, and his role as a mixologist . House of Commons, located in Frankfort, is highlighted as the only vintage distilled spirits bar in the area, offering a vast selection of Kentucky spirits and a unique bourbon experience, with Airbnbs available above the bar for travelers .

This week on The Whiskey Trip, Big Chief heads to one of the most cherished stops on his whiskey journey—Leiper's Fork Distillery—a place where friendship has aged into family and the spirits are as bold as the stories behind them. He sits down with the powerhouse herself, Kendra Anderson, the head distiller whose path began behind the bar mixing cocktails and now leads the charge in the stillhouse. Her rise from mash cook to master of the barrel is a testament to grit, passion, and unshakable dedication. In the first half of the episode, Kendra and the big man pour a glass of Revenue's Reserve—a heartfelt tribute to Samuel Claybrook Locke, a Federal Revenue Officer tragically killed in 1925 in Franklin, Tennessee. This 3-barrel blend of 7- and 8-year-old Tennessee Whiskey hits with a mash bill of 70% corn, 15% rye, and 15% malted barley. Clocking in at 100 proof, it drinks like a fire-tempered blade—bold, spicy, and unforgettable. But then comes the moment that stops time. Kendra breaks out a honey cask wheated bourbon—a Leiper's Fork masterpiece with a mash bill of 70% corn, 15% wheat, and 15% malted barley. Layered with a honey bill that reads like Southern poetry—29% willow, 25% sweet clover, 14% blackberry, and 8% sumac—this bourbon sings with nostalgic notes of Honey Comb and Honey Smacks cereal, warming the soul with every sip. Leiper's Fork isn't just a distillery—it's a beacon of Southern hospitality, craftsmanship, and character. So raise your glass and buckle in—because this ride with Big Chief is one soaked in spirit, soul, and the sweet burn of tradition. This is The Whiskey Trip. Cheers, y'all.

Joshua and Jess head up to the Speyside region of Scotland to visit a distillery few have had a chance to set foot in: Tormore. Much like the Wonka factory, few people have been seen entering and few people have been seen exiting. Well, now under the ownership of Elixir Distillers all that has changed a bit.  Listen in as the inimitable Polly Logan takes Joshua and Jess through the wondrous distillery that is Tormore. To get through the various parts of the distillery you go up and down stairs, through this room and that. It's a maze and it's amazing. Shortly there after Ollie takes over and the Gang of Four start tasting through the warehouse; delicious cask by delicious cask by delicious cask. ...as usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in. Unless you're driving. If you're driving, be smart and stay sober but be sure to listen into the conversation!

Geese, Barley, and Peat At The First New Islay Distillery in 124 Years In this brand new episode of the Whiskey Ring Podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with James Wills, son of founder Anthony Wills and a worldwide face of Kilchoman Distillery on Islay. This episode marks a significant milestone as it is my first interview with an Islay distillery (I was surprised too!), and I was excited to delve into the unique aspects of Kilchoman and the challenges of distilling on this iconic island. We start off where any good whisky podcast starts: with geese. Yes, geese. They're kind of a big deal there. I'm not known for going with the grain (yeah I said it) so why not there. Kilchoman has a lot more going for it, though, as it enters its 20th year in 2025. As the first new Islay distillery in 124 years, Kilchoman needed to be different. They couldn't just be peaty, they had to be unique - and thus they became the first farm-to-glass distillery on the island.  We chat about all the nerdy stuff you'd expect, like barley experimentation and yeast and fermentation, plus a dive into how their bourbon barrel sourcing and full-term maturation (note: not finishing!) work. There's also plenty to explore about the "whys" and inflection points in the distillery's two-decade evolution.  I've been wanting to have Kilchoman on for two years, and I'm thrilled to finally make that happen for the podcast and for you, the listeners and supporters.  Thank you to James for entering the Whiskey Ring!

Minden Mill Distillery (Minden, NV) WF0056 Taking a short break from the Great 48 on-site visits for a virtual visit to a location I visited when it lived under a different name - Bently Heritage. When they reached out to me about potentially doing an interview - I jumped at the chance. First, if you don't know about this distillery, you should. It is one of the coolest distilleries in the world. Today, it is known as Minden Mill. New owners, yet, still an amazing distillery and now it has one of my favorite American distillers at the helm, Joe O'Sullivan (formerly of Clear Creek/Hood River). Join me as I flash back to my first visit to Tahoe, Carson Valley, and the Bently Ranch. And hear how Joe is taking on the challenge of Estate distilling.

Robyn started with a foundational, always-available rum she named Baseline. She's since released batches in which she introduces a "variable" to the Baseline recipe, such as dunder. This allows you to taste the exact differences that the variable brings to the flavor profile when tasted side by side.

Moore had a great passion for single malt whisky and his adopted home in Virginia. A native Irishman, George came to the U.S. in the 1970's to seek new opportunities. In 2011, after many years of building successful businesses in both the U.S. and Ireland, George finally had the chance to combine his two passions when he started Virginia Distillery Company. Today, George's wife, Angela Moore and their son, Gareth Moore, along with his wife, Maggie Moore, have taken the helm to continue building George's dream.“Have the courage of your convictions,” was a saying George often repeated to friends and family. His credo became our core principle and the name of our newest American Single Malt whisky line, Courage & Conviction.From the impeccable quality of the ingredients we source, to the years spent perfecting our maturation process, we make whisky the right way – our way – never sacrificing the best for the easier, safer path.At Virginia Distillery Company, we carry George's legacy forward by reinventing American Single Malt whisky. Every barrel is a culmination of the world's finest distilling, aged to perfection in the ideal climate of Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains. While inspired by time-honored traditions, we forge traditions of our own- making whisky more than what has been, while remaining true to ourselves and our home.The result: a whisky that George would've been proud of.Our ProcessStep 01The barley is harvested and malted in the Midwest and shipped to Virginia, where it is stored in two 36-ton malt bins on site at Virginia Distillery Company. The malt is transferred from the bins to the 1920's Boby Mill to be milled.Step 02The Boby Mill, one of a handful in the U.S. splits the grain into three parts and produces the grist, which is combined with water at varying temperatures to start the production of whisky. Yeast is added, producing “wash”, which is similar to an unhopped beer of approximately 8 % alcohol by volume.Step 03The wash gets transferred to the first of two copper pot stills to begin distillation. Copper is used because of its ability to conduct heat and remove sulphur-based compounds. These compounds can lead to the whisky having an off-flavor so copper is critical in producing a quality spirit.Step 04The copper pot stills at Virginia Distillery Company come from Scotland and were handmade by a specialty fabricator. The shape and height of the still influence the flavors produced in the spirit. The longer the neck, the more refined the spirit.Step 05After distillation, the liquid moves through the spirit safe, which allows the distiller to make appropriate cuts between heads, hearts and tails. Ours was created in Scotland in the style of a traditional spirit safe. Step 06After making its way through the distillation process, the finished spirit is casked and stored in our cask houses for aging. Virginia's hot summers and cool winters allow our spirit to age at a rate faster than our counterparts in Scotland. Our main cask houses hold up to 5,000 casks each. 

Marc Cox welcomes Chris Canale Jr. into the studio for a deep dive into the history and future of Old Dominick Distillery.

Chris shares how the Memphis-based distillery crafts its Tennessee whiskey—from grain to bottle—with unique sourcing and minimal charcoal filtering. The conversation covers craft industry trends, the challenges of rising costs, and Old Dominick's commitment to quality and innovation.

Hear how Maplewood Brewery & Distillery is reinventing adult beverages, from hazy IPAs to THC seltzers to spirits including fernet and gin.Maplewood Brewery & Distillery's Adam Cieslak (Co-Founder/Director of Brewing & Distilling) and Roger Cuzelis (Head Brewer) discuss launching Chicago's first brewery/distillery hybrid, their award-winning Hazy IPAs, and the art of recipe refinement. They discuss why beer awards matter, what strange and unusual ingredients they've experimented with, how they introduced Hazy IPAs to the Chicago market, and how they know when a beverage recipe is “done.” After the beer break, Adam and Roger explain how home distilling differs from homebrewing, how they brew Hazy IPAs that stand out, and what it takes to master haze stability. Adam also breaks down home distilling basics, explains how they use spruce tips in modern gin, and introduces Maplewood's American single malt whiskey, fernet, and the story behind their rum punch canned cocktails. Plus: THC seltzers, making canned cocktails made with real spirits, and how Maplewood's distinct packaging reflects their boundary-pushing spirit.About Maplewood Brewery & Distillery: Maplewood opened with the mission to push liquid boundaries in an unassuming building nestled in Chicago's historic Logan Square neighborhood.

One Distillery, Two Time Zones, and Corsets and Whips, Oh My! Husband-and-wife team BIll and Johanna Welter came to whiskey through very different paths - thankfully, their union has produced not one, but two distilleries from which Journeyman's whiskies and spirits spring forth. Bill's passion for golf led him to St. Andrews, Scotland; Johanna's path led through hospitality, drinking whiskey at a time when "most women were drinking cosmos".  Somehow, Journeyman is still an under-the-radar distillery, albeit one with two locations (in Three Oaks, Michigan and Valparaiso, Indiana). For those in the know, they're producing some of the best wheat and wheated whiskey in the country, and for this episode I got to try their high-rye cask strength bourbon which, for my mind, might be even better than their wheaters. And to be clear, their wheated products are exempt from my recent distaste for wheaters...they are complete whiskies, whether one grain or multiple, and remain some of the few I'd have on my shelf.  Journeyman also holds distinction as a long-tenured distillery in the craft scene, launched in 2011 during the end of the first wave or beginning of the second (Bill wasn't quite sure, so we'll hedge!). They've turned that presence into their own formal and informal mentorship programs, lending help and knowledge to a new generation of distillers.  We also touch on the impact of recent tariffs and their Ingrained program, opening up contract distilling to producers without their own capacity in Journeyman's new 140,000 square foot Valparaiso location.  Thank you to Bill and Johanna for entering the Whiskey Ring!

Painted Stave Distillery (Smyrna, DE) WF0055 For our 17th of the Great 48, I thought I was going to have some trouble tracking down a whiskey distillery in Delaware, but low and behold I found a fun one in the Painted Stave. Ron and Mike had a particular vision (and name) for this distillery, but sometimes plans change. In this case, rather than a distillery that distributes across the states, they've honed in on their community and it is a fun place to hang out with friends. From the food trucks to the cocktails and spirits served neat, there is a lot to like here. I will say though, there is one spirit they made that might turn your head and make you wonder what they were thinking. Again, a surprise success. Find out what foreign object they put in their still and the fascinating spirit it produced.

Old Fashioned Football Podcast hosts J Mark and Merr sit down with Dan Oskey, the co-founder of Tattersall Whiskey, for an insightful discussion about the origins, processes, and philosophies behind one of Minnesota and Wisconsin's distinguished distilleries. The conversation covers everything from the unique flavors of Tattersall Distillery's offerings to the sustainability efforts in the new River Falls facility. For those who appreciate the craft of whiskey, this episode is a deep dive into how passion and innovation can harmonize to create exceptional spirits.A Deep Dive into TatterSall WhiskeyThe episode kicks off with an introduction to the unique Tattersall distillery whiskey varieties. Focused particularly on the Minnesota Rye. Dan shares that their rye uses 85% rye grain and 15% malted rye. This is entirely crafted from local Minnesota ingredients. He explains the flavor profile to the hosts. This includes black pepper spice and subtle cocoa bean notes that characterize their rye, making it perfect for cocktails or a neat sip.Tattersall's philosophy centers around using locally sourced grains. This includes rye and other key ingredients to enhance the complexity and authenticity of their products."We have a great soil and climate here," Dan notes, emphasizing the importance of sustainable and local farming partnerships, such as their long-standing collaboration with Dale Anderson of Cambridge, Minnesota.A Journey to DistillationDan told Old-Fashioned Football about his journey to establishing Tattersall. He reflects on his early years as a bartender, where he developed a passion for crafting every element behind the bar. His transition to distilling was sparked by a childhood friend's proposal to create something more than just cocktails — to distill the spirits themselves.For Dan, distilling was a natural progression. After bartending and creating small-batch bitters and sodas, the idea to open a distillery allowed him to bring everything full circle. He recounts the reunion with Jon Keidler, a childhood friend turned business partner. Jon came to dinner at his restaurant and proposed the idea of starting the distillery together. Jon, with his investment background, had a business plan ready, and Dan's expertise in flavor and distillation made them the perfect team.Tattersall's New Home: River FallsOne of the most exciting advancements for Tattersall is their move to River Falls, Wisconsin. As Dan and the team sought to expand and optimize operations, they settled in a repurposed former Shopko building. This new facility is not just larger but also beams with sustainability efforts. This includes the largest solar array of any distillery in the country, water reclamation systems, and zero waste operations.Dan proudly describes the facility as perhaps the greenest distillery in America. Tattersall's commitment to sustainability is enhanced by its involvement in the White Oak Initiative. This is an effort to plant American white oaks necessary for future barrel production.Exploring the Tattersall Product LineThe conversation also ventures into Tattersall's diverse product offerings. This includes unique launches like their toasted coconut avi, lauded for its innovative combination of botanical ingredients. There's something for everyone at Tattersall, including their award-winning absinthe and canned cocktails.Dan explains how Tattersall approaches canning by lowering alcohol content for more refreshing, sessionable drinks. This includes their blueberry basil vodka collins, which has become a popular favorite. Though the whiskey peach tea didn't find its footing in the initial launch, it remains a hidden gem beloved by its loyal fans.An Invitation to VisitTattersall doesn't just want people to buy their products—they want to welcome them to the distillery itself. With events ranging from free mini margaritas on Cinco de Mayo to broader public tours, Tattersall ensures a visit is worth every minute.The distillery offers tastings of their complete product line. Their unique design features a tasting bar and dining area, emphasizing their mission of offering hospitality through flavor and experience.ConclusionWhether you're a whiskey enthusiast, a curious spirit aficionado, or someone just discovering the depth of craft distillation, the story of Tattersall Whiskey is one of passion, precision, and progress. Their varieties offer complex tasting notes. Nurtured through sustainable practices and local sourcing—truly embodying the notion that flavor is hospitality.Head to River Falls for an experience of a lifetime, or explore their offerings via their website.

In this month's solo episode of the Distillery Nation Podcast, I'm taking you behind the scenes of my journey creating our flagship tasting room in North Bend. I start with the practical foundation—my 16-page feasibility document that helped determine if this venture could actually succeed. I share how I worked with the economic development department to find the perfect property and leveraged ARC GIS data to understand consumer patterns in the area. You'll hear about the seven essential books that guided my tasting room development and my experiences with bar design—comparing Krowne and Glastender for UI mockups before ultimately partnering with a local restaurant supplier. This episode is packed with real-world advice, including how I found incredible deals on commercial equipment through Facebook Marketplace, like a nearly-new dishwasher that saved thousands. I also discuss the critical concept of "useful absurdity"—creating standout features that drive your marketing message tenfold, similar to a Texas bookstore that transformed an old fireplace into a photo-worthy book display that attracts customers daily.

This week on The Whiskey Trip, Big Chief plants his boots firmly in Atlanta, Georgia — a city that has tasted fire, risen from ruin, and come back stronger every time. He sits down with Jerry McCall from ASW Distillery, a man whose passion for whiskey burns as hot as the city's fighting spirit. Together, they dive deep into the raw, unvarnished story of Georgia distilling — a story born from hardship and rebellion. They honor the rugged moonshiners who were pushed into the wild foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, forced to carve out a life — and a living — from the unforgiving land. These were men and women who distilled not just whiskey, but freedom itself, refusing to let government agents, hard winters, or impossible odds break them. Fast-forward to today, and Atlanta stands tall once again, not just as a city of commerce and culture, but as a blazing new frontier for American whiskey. ASW Distillery is at the heart of this revival — a phoenix born from the ashes, a symbol of resilience that echoes through every barrel they fill. Jerry lays it out plain and powerful: ASW isn't just making whiskey. They're making history. Glass after glass, Big Chief and Jerry march through ASW's lineup — starting with the Fiddler, a bold expression crafted with the heart and soul of their master distiller, where every note of grain and oak sings a song of craftsmanship. They charge forward into the Resurgence Rye, a whiskey built to honor Atlanta's relentless spirit — a whiskey that doesn't apologize, doesn't bow, and doesn't break. But this journey isn't just about what's in the glass. It's about the soul of a region that refused to be forgotten. It's about people who never gave up, and a city that keeps rewriting its destiny, one resurrection at a time. This episode is a battle cry, a love letter, and a triumphant toast to the unbreakable spirit of Georgia. This is The Whiskey Trip. Cheers, y'all.

Fresh off the ADI awards stage, Jon Hillgren—founder of Hernö Gin Distillery in Härnösand, Sweden—joins host Ronnell Richards to celebrate an unprecedented third-straight Best-in-Class win.

This week on The Whiskey Trip, Big Chief rolls into the beating heart of the South—Atlanta, Georgia—where whiskey meets modern art in a way you've never seen before. He sits down with Matt Greif, the visionary Head Distiller at Distillery of Modern Art, a place where creativity flows as freely as the spirits. It's not just a distillery—it's an immersive experience. Picture this: a contemporary art gallery that champions local talent, wrapped in the aroma of oak barrels and filled with the hum of conversation and clinking glasses. Here, art and whiskey dance together in perfect harmony. Matt starts things off by pouring Big Chief a dram of their 100% corn whiskey—and what a first impression. On the nose, it's a bouquet of baking spices, honey cake, and dried flowers. A sip reveals a delicious tapestry of fruit compote, peanut brittle, and the warm savoriness of roasted corn. It's bold. It's elegant. It's a conversation in a glass. Then comes something truly rare—a corn whiskey finished in amburana barrels. Big Chief leans back, eyes wide. “Oh my,” he says, stunned by the complexity. It's the first finished corn whiskey he's ever tasted, and hands-down the best. With whispers of spice and soft sweetness, it's a breakfast whiskey worthy of sunrise sips and Sunday mornings. But the journey doesn't stop there. Matt brings out their bourbon, crafted from a mash bill of 67% white corn, 21% Abruzzi rye, and 12% malted barley. The flavor? A lush profile of dried and stewed orchard fruits, kissed with honey and a soft floral finish. It's the kind of pour you reach for before a perfectly seared steak—a whiskey that sets the tone. To close the show, they dive into the rye whiskey, a masterpiece made with 70% Abruzzi rye, 15% white corn, and 15% malted barley. Notes of crisp apple open the door, followed by baked cinnamon apple pie and the smooth richness of vanilla ice cream. It finishes with spearmint and spiced tea—a finale worthy of a standing ovation. Each pour, each bottle, each sip—uniquely Atlanta. This isn't just whiskey. It's Georgia's spirit, bottled with pride. This episode isn't just about tasting whiskey. It's about tasting culture, community, and craft. It's a love letter to a city that's rewriting the story of Southern spirits. This is The Whiskey Trip. Cheers, y'all.

We were greeted at the door, had a tour with a great host April and experienced some cool tours that are open for everyone to enjoy. The history and story of this hidden gem is there in Hopkinsville, KY. 

We dive into the incredible history of Fortaleza Tequila — from its roots in the Sauza family to its modern-day revival of a 19th-century microdistillery. Is this the best artisanal tequila you can buy today? Join Matt and Jason as they sip through Blanco, Reposado, and Añejo expressions, sharing tasting notes, regional history, and the TikTok-fueled hype that brought Fortaleza back into the spotlight.
