In this special tasting episode, we dive deep into Evan Williams Master Blend – a distillery-only treasure that brings together five different expressions including their coveted 23-year-old single barrel.The magic of this bourbon lies in its remarkable evolution. Beginning with gentle aromas of caramelized sugar, apple, and subtle floral notes, each sip takes you on a journey reminiscent of slowly caramelizing bananas – transforming from fruit-forward sweetness to rich, complex caramel. Most surprising is the extraordinary finish that lingers with a pleasant apple-like sweetness long after the sip is gone. Unlike many bourbons where the finish is merely an aftermath, here it becomes an entirely new experience worth savoring.What struck us most was how this 90-proof offering delivers complexity without overwhelming intensity. It's approachable yet sophisticated, making it perfect for sharing with special friends and family. Despite containing well-aged components, it remains reasonably priced (historically under $100), representing one of bourbon's best values if you're willing to make the pilgrimage to Louisville.Our conversation also explores the science behind bourbon production – from how barrel char affects hangovers to the importance of oak's natural properties in whiskey aging. We even touch on the fascinating details of how specific growing conditions of oak trees influence the final flavor profile.Ready to experience this special bourbon yourself?

Please like, comment, subscribe, and leave good feedback on your podcast platform of choice. Good bourbon equals good times and good friends.A remarkable journey through Virginia's whiskey legacy unfolds as Tiny conducts a solo tasting of A. Smith Bowman Cask Strength Bourbon. This exceptional spirit from Virginia's oldest distillery reveals itself as possibly the finest non-Kentucky bourbon ever encountered on the show.The story of A. Smith Bowman begins in 1927 when its namesake purchased a 7,200-acre farm for dairy and grain production. When his fields yielded excess grain, Bowman made a decision that would change Virginia's spirits landscape forever—establishing a distillery in 1934 that became the state's sole legal whiskey producer until the 1950s. Now owned by Sazerac (the company behind Buffalo Trace), A. Smith Bowman has evolved into an award-winning distillery creating some of America's most distinguished spirits.What makes this particular bourbon exceptional is found in its contradictions. Despite its intimidating 139.7 proof (69.85% ABV), the 10-year-old whiskey delivers astonishingly little ethanol burn. Instead, drinkers experience a symphony of cherry, vanilla, and distinctive cola notes that create what Tiny describes as "the biggest body I've ever had in a bourbon." The experience culminates in a unique Coca-Cola finish unlike anything previously encountered.The Old Louisville Whiskey Company Barrel Bottle Breakdown system awards this bourbon a perfect 18/18 score—with the body category even receiving the rare "butt-up-up" designation for exceeding the normal scale. This places A. Smith Bowman Cask Strength among the most highly-rated spirits in the show's history.Between sips, Tiny shares exciting updates about Whiskey House of Kentucky's financial developments and announces upcoming appearances across bourbon country.

More than just a bottle shop, Revival represents the preservation of whiskey heritage, offering enthusiasts the chance to taste spirits that most people only read about in books.The conversation delves deep into what makes "dusty" bottles special – those time capsules of whiskey history featuring tax strips from before 1984 that capture production methods long since abandoned. Brad explains the remarkable stability of properly stored vintage spirits, which can remain perfect for decades or even centuries, unlike wine or other collectibles. We explore the delicate art of bottle assessment, learning how clarity, fill level, and label condition impact both value and the drinking experience.What sets Revival apart is its commitment to accessibility. While some establishments might charge $1,000 per ounce for pre-Prohibition whiskey, Brad shares stories of offering quarter-ounce pours for $40, allowing hundreds of people to experience liquid history. His philosophy shines through in every aspect of the business: "We're trying to figure out a way every day to be fair to who we buy from and fair to who we sell to."The passion behind Revival is infectious as Brad compares whiskey collecting to baseball cards, but with one crucial difference – "this is the final frontier, because you can choose to buy a bvoice over Whiskey Thief If You Have Gohsts Add for SOFLSupport 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/

When veterans from the Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force united to create a spirits company, they brought with them a mission that transcends the bottle.Four Branches began with a moment of reflection. One founder, haunted by memories of bringing home fallen comrades from combat zones, envisioned creating a bourbon to honor their sacrifice. What started as a simple tribute evolved into something extraordinary when the founders realized they represented each major military branch—a combination unprecedented in the spirits industry. Their backgrounds in special operations and intelligence shaped not just their approach to business but their core philosophy: "Serve honorably, drink honorably."This isn't marketing jargon. It stems from profound experience with the devastation of veteran suicide and substance abuse. As one founder poignantly explains, "We don't drink to forget—we sip to remember." This perspective transforms each pour into an opportunity for reflection rather than escape. Their Continental Bourbon, crafted to commemorate the 250th anniversary of America's first military branches, embodies this ethos. The nine-year Kentucky straight bourbon, bottled at 102 proof with a precisely balanced mashbill, carries within it centuries of American military tradition.What truly distinguishes Four Branches is their commitment to giving back. They donate 4% of gross revenue—a significant portion that demonstrates their priorities extend beyond profit margins. Their donated bottles have raised over $450,000 for veterans' charities in just two years. The bottle itself, with its four-sided design and meticulously crafted logo, contains hidden military symbolism that rewards the observant consumer with deeper meaning.Experience what happens when honor meets craftsmanship in a glass.

Send us a textMark Carter joins us to share his remarkable journey from builder to whiskey maker and the philosophy behind Old Carter's exceptional barrel-proof expressions.• Building a hotel and restaurant led to wine making in Napa Valley• Partnered with Dixon Dedman to revive Kentucky Owl in 2011• Founded Old Carter immediately after selling Kentucky Owl in 2017• Never releases whiskey younger than 7 years old with most current products 10+ years• Meticulously tastes and grades each barrel before creating small batch blends• Uses multiple coopers for different flavor profiles• The Carter Club is expanding with 400 additional lockers• American Whiskey Batch 14 contains approximately 50% whiskey aged 19-20 years• Balance is key to creating high-proof whiskeys that don't drink "hot"• Describes Old Carter's signature profile as having "deep, rich aromatics" with "a long finish"• Double barreling techniques create unique flavors in their expressionsMark Carter's path to becoming one of Kentucky's most respected whiskey makers began far from the bourbon trail. A builder by trade who constructed a hotel, then managed its restaurant, Carter's curiosity about wine led him to purchase a Napa Valley winery in 2006. When seeking custom crush clients, he connected with Kentucky innkeeper Dixon Dedman, and instead of making wine together, suggested reviving Dedman's family whiskey heritage. This collaboration birthed Kentucky Owl in 2011, which they later sold to Stoli Group in 2017—the very same day Mark launched Old Carter Whiskey.What makes Old Carter stand out in today's crowded whiskey landscape is Mark's unwavering commitment to quality. Nothing younger than seven years reaches the bottle, with most current releases featuring whiskey aged 10+ years. The blending process reveals Carter's artistry—tasting through dozens of barrels, grading each one, then carefully combining them to achieve perfect harmony. As he describes it, "We don't like hot. We want balanced. We love flavor." This philosophy explains how Old Carter creates high-proof expressions (often above 130 proof) that drink with remarkable smoothness.The American Whiskey Batch 14 showcased during our conversation exemplifies this approach, containing approximately 50% whiskey aged 19-20 years. Despite its 134.3 proof, it delivers sweet notes of marshmallow and crème brûlée with a warming—never burning—finish. This meticulous attention extends to their barrel program, where Mark works with multiple coopers to achieve different flavor profiles, drawing parallels to his wine-making background.Old Carter continues to expand, with their Carter Club adding 400 new lockers and several small batch releases planned for different distributors. Mark's passion for whiskey craftsmanship shines through in every expression, creating products that whiskey enthusiasts treasure.

When Whiskey returns to the Scotchy Bourbon Boys studio, the atmosphere crackles with the familiar energy that made their "10-minute tastings" (that routinely stretched to 30) so beloved by listeners.Tonight's star attraction isn't just the reunion, but a bottle that commands hushed reverence in bourbon circles: William Heaven Hill 15-Year, the ninth edition of Heaven Hill's limited release masterpiece. Composed of merely 34 barrels pulled from the fourth floor of Rick House LL at Shenley and bottled at a perfect 109 proof, this isn't just another premium bourbon—it's a time capsule of exceptional craftsmanship.The hosts dive deep into what makes this expression special, parsing through its complex nose of brown sugar, subtle cherry, and vanilla bean notes. While many 15-year bourbons fall victim to over-oaking, this one strikes a perfect harmony—delivering rich flavor without the woodiness that can overwhelm aged spirits. The mouthfeel earns particular praise for coating every corner of the palate despite not being barrel proof.What follows is a masterclass in bourbon appreciation as they meticulously evaluate each aspect through their Old Louisville Whiskey Company Barrel Bottle Breakdown scale. The verdict? An astonishing 18.5 out of 19 possible points—a score rarely given even to the most heralded bottles. Perhaps most telling is their direct comparison to Pappy Van Winkle 15-Year, with both hosts preferring this Heaven Hill offering despite its (relatively) more attainable secondary market price of $1,200-1,500.Whether you're a seasoned bourbon collector or simply appreciate the artistry behind exceptional spirits, this episode captures the magic that happens when passionate enthusiasts encounter something truly special in their glass.

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.

"I wanted something unique, different than what you normally see," Bley explains, comparing bourbon to a complete pie where every element must work together—from the liquid to the story to the vessel containing it.Most fascinating is how Bley deliberately created contrasting expressions to reach different palates. His Old Swagger 12-year bottled-in-bond offers an elegant, balanced drinking experience, while Old Stubborn single barrels deliver intense flavors with remarkably long finishes. "When you go to tastings, what's amazing is they're both excellent but completely different ends of the spectrum," he notes, emphasizing that quality whiskey can exist across diverse flavor profiles.The discussion reveals the extensive behind-the-scenes work of building a bourbon brand, from navigating supply chains to planning releases years in advance.

Send us a textTiny explores Rabbit Hole's Hiegold Single Barrel Cask Strength bourbon while discussing the brand's artistic approach to bottle design and distillery architecture. We take a deep dive into the complex nature of bourbon blending, aging conditions, and how whiskey changes over time.• Rabbit Hole Distillery founded by Kaveh Zamanian creates bourbon that captures the essence of what you smell in actual rickhouses• Kentucky exclusive Hiegold features special label designs by Mark Gagnon celebrating Ohio's aviation history• The Louisville distillery offers a modern architectural experience culminating in a sixth-floor bar with city views• Rabbit Hole's lineup includes Cave Hill (standard bourbon), Hiegold (high rye), DARERINGER (sherry finished), and Boxergrail (rye)• Discussion of how bourbon consistency was the industry standard until about 10 years ago when batch variation became desirable• Experiment mixing Cave Hill and Hiegold together created a distinct gingerbread cookie flavor not present in either bourbon alone• Environmental factors affecting bourbon from production through transportation and shelf storage significantly impact flavor• Upcoming podcast featuring Greg Schneider and his new Four Branches Distillery's 9-year Kentucky straight bourbonPlease support our sponsors: Middle West Spirits (check out their new purchase of Old Elk), Whiskey Thief Distillery, Spirit of French Lick, Rosewood Bourbons and Ryes, and Alan Bishop's One Piece at a Time Distilling Institute.Bourbon enthusiasts know that every bottle tells a story, but Rabbit Hole takes this concept to artistic heights with their intricately designed single barrel releases. Tiny explores their Hiegold expression – a bourbon featuring German rye that captures the authentic essence of what you smell walking through a Kentucky rickhouse rather than the caramel-sweet profiles dominating today's market.The episode peels back the layers on Rabbit Hole's Louisville distillery, a modern architectural marvel where visitors spiral alongside the still, culminating at a sixth-floor bar overlooking the city. Unlike traditional Kentucky distilleries that lean heavily on heritage, founder Kaveh Zamanian has created a contemporary bourbon experience that honors tradition through flavor rather than façade.What truly captivates is Tiny's deep dive into bourbon's evolution over the past decade. Where consistency once reigned supreme, today's market celebrates batch variation – a marketing revolution pioneered by legends like Elmer T. Lee, Jimmy Russell, and Booker Noe who transformed "inconsistency" into exclusivity. Similarly, finished whiskeys once derided by purists are now embraced as innovative expressions of the distiller's craft.The most fascinating segment comes when Tiny experiments with mixing bourbons, discovering how Cave Hill and Hiegold together create a distinct gingerbread cookie note absent in either bourbon independently. This sparks a broader discussion about how bourbon's chemical composition continuously evolves through production, transportation, storage conditions, and even how it settles on your shelf at home.Whether you're a bourbon novice or connoisseur, this episode offers valuable insights into how environmental factors shape what's in your glass, why modern distilleries are embracing batch variation, and why the seemingly simple act of If You Have Gohsts 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/

In this eye-opening journey into global spirits, we're joined by Randy Ford—aka the Whiskey Doctor—to launch our new segment "Whiskey Without Borders," exploring remarkable whiskeys from beyond American shores.Our first international adventure takes us to the Eifel region of Germany, often called "German Siberia," where volcanic soil creates exceptionally flavorful rye grain. The star of our tasting, Eiffel German Rye Whiskey, challenges everything we thought we knew about rye. Unlike its spicy American cousins, this 92-proof spirit undergoes a fascinating three-stage aging process—two years in ex-Bordeaux casks, two more in Spanish Malaga wine barrels, and a final year in German Pinot Noir casks. The result? A sophisticated whiskey that bridges worlds, offering scotch-like maltiness with subtle white grape notes and a remarkably smooth character.We dive deep into what makes this whiskey unique, from its small-batch production philosophy (one barrel out, one barrel in) to Germany's surprisingly vast distilling landscape of 20,000 distilleries. The Whiskey Doctor shares fascinating insights about European whiskey traditions while we evaluate every aspect from nose to finish. Even for those typically hesitant about rye whiskeys, this expression offers something refreshingly different—a gentler, more nuanced approach that proves how dramatically terroir a If You Have Gohsts Add for SOFL If You Have Gohsts Add for SOFLStardust Stories - Helpful Hands Podcast with Philip GarciaWelcome to Stardust Stories, where astrology meets real life with a healthy...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Stardust Stories - Helpful Hands Podcast with Philip GarciaWelcome to Stardust Stories, where astrology meets real life with a healthy...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport 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/

Larrikin Distillery represents the beautiful collision of Aussie irreverence with America's native spirit, creating something truly special in the heart of bourbon country.In this father-son tasting adventure, we explore Larrikin's remarkable 124.2 proof Single Barrel bourbon with special guest Knobs, who brings a refreshingly honest beginner's perspective to high-proof whiskey. "It's like if sand could be liquefied," he observes, capturing that distinctive dry mouthfeel that characterizes this unique expression.Founded by Greg Keely, who served with distinction in both the US and Australian navies, Larrikin doesn't pretend to have bourbon heritage dating back to the Pilgrims. Instead, they focus on crafting extraordinary Kentucky whiskey they're genuinely "stoked to pour." That authenticity shines through in this 8-year single barrel, with its mash bill of 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% barley delivering deep complexity.The tasting reveals a fascinating contrast between experienced and novice palates. While Tiny picks up nuanced notes of caramel, tart apple, and leather, Knobs navigates the high proof with candid commentary that will resonate with whiskey newcomers. Their Barrel Bottle Breakdown scoring system (examining nose, body, taste, and finish) ultimately awards this bourbon a respectable 13/18 – impressive for an $79 bottle.Between sips, we explore the world of hazmat whiskeys (over 140 proof), the regulations governing bourbon production, and why Larkin's boxing kangaroo logo perfectly captures their approach to whiskey-making.

We dive deep into this question by exploring Metallica's Blackened Whiskey and the Wes Henderson White Port Cask Finish in our first-ever double breakdown.The verdict might surprise you. Blackened Whiskey employs a fascinating "Black Noise" process where Metallica's own music vibrates through aging barrels at specific frequencies, causing the liquid to extract more flavor compounds from the wood. This isn't just marketing hype—the science behind it actually makes sense, and more importantly, you can taste the difference. With notes of caramel apple dipped in chocolate, this approachable 90-proof American whiskey scored an impressive 11.5/18 on our scale, proving that some musician-backed spirits deserve serious consideration.What makes a rock-and-roll whiskey successful? As we discuss in this episode, it's about finding the right balance. Too high-proof and concert-goers might not make it to the show; too bland and whiskey enthusiasts won't give it a second pour. Blackened hits that sweet spot—flavorful enough for sipping neat but versatile enough to mix with cola while tailgating before an AC/DC concert (which Tiny is excitedly preparing for).Matt from Cleveland on the Rocks joins us to share his perspective on celebrity spirits and collectible bottles. We explore why some bottles remain sealed as shelf decorations while others get opened immediately, regardless of their famous affiliations.

Tickets are $55, and a few seats are still available.The whiskey revolution isn't happening in distilleries—it's happening in Facebook groups, local meetups, and exclusive clubs around the world. As bourbon's popularity has exploded, the communities surrounding it have become the true catalyst for its unprecedented growth and cultural significance.Across the globe, from Cincinnati to Bangalore, whiskey enthusiasts are forming tight-knit communities centered around their shared passion. Some exist purely in the digital realm, with thousands of members exchanging knowledge and experiences online. Others maintain strong local identities with regular tastings, educational events, and charitable fundraisers. The most exclusive clubs offer members rare bottles, private lockers, and even opportunities to participate in the distillation process.What makes these whiskey communities truly special is their remarkable openness and accessibility. Unlike many hobby groups plagued by gatekeeping, bourbon enthusiasts have cultivated a welcoming culture where newcomers find mentors, friendships form quickly, and experiences are shared generously. As one enthusiast put it, "When it came to the bourbon industry, the doors are open. The people are fantastic."The impact of these communities extends beyond social connections—they're transforming how whiskey is produced, marketed, and consumed.

Send us a textThe economics of whiskey pricing involves numerous factors that determine why bourbon costs what it does, from physical aspects of aging to market demands and consumer preferences.• Quality and quantity are fundamental considerations in whiskey pricing• Age significantly impacts cost due to taxes, warehouse space, and liquid loss through evaporation• Temperature fluctuations affect yield as cold weather expands barrels pushing liquid outward while heat contracts wood drawing whiskey into staves• Barrel strength whiskeys command higher prices because they aren't diluted, resulting in fewer bottles from the same amount of aged spirit• Many distilleries have increased prices to capture value that was previously going to secondary market resellers• Despite fears of a "bourbon glut," most established distilleries report strong sales with new operations continuing to open• American whiskey prices have generally remained stable or decreased slightly over recent months according to store comparison research• Family-owned operations like Old Louisville Whiskey Company focus on quality over quantity• The Old Louisville 17-year bourbon (141 proof) scored a perfect 18/18 on the tasting scale• Premium whiskeys with high price tags often accurately reflect the investment, time, expertise and limited quantity involvedJoin us for our upcoming bus tour where we'll be visiting Old Louisville Whiskey Company and meeting Amin Caroud in person.The mysterious world of whiskey pricing unfolds as we explore the complex economics behind what makes your favorite bourbon cost $30 or $300. Beyond marketing hype, we reveal the genuine factors distilleries consider when setting prices in today's competitive spirits landscape.Every drop of aged whiskey comes with hidden costs. When distilleries age spirit for extended periods, they're making a significant investment – paying yearly taxes, managing warehouse space, and accepting substantial liquid loss. A 53-gallon barrel might yield only 20 gallons after 15 years due to the "angel's share" and wood absorption. Temperature fluctuations further complicate matters, as cold weather expands barrels pushing liquid outward, while heat contracts wood drawing whiskey deeper into staves, affecting both flavor development and final yield.The bourbon market has evolved dramatically in recent years. Despite fears of a "bourbon glut," most established distilleries report strong sales with new operations continuing to open throughout Kentucky. Our price comparison research at local stores confirmed American whiskey prices have generally remained stable or even decreased slightly, contradicting inflation concerns. Meanwhile, premium offerings have seen strategic price increases as distilleries recapture value previously lost to secondary markets – Russell's Reserve 13 Year jumped from $80 to $190 in just three releases.The episode culminates with a spectacular tasting of Old Louisville Whiskey Company's 17-year bourbon bottled at a hazmat-level 141 proof. This family-owned operation exemplifies the passion-driven side of the industry, where Amine and Beth Karaoud's commitment to quality over quantity produces truly exceptional whiskeys.

Everything you've heard about the "bourbon glut" might be completely wrong. After months of industry predictions about oversupply and waning interest, we're seeing overwhelming evidence of bourbon's resilience and continuing popularity.The Kentucky Bourbon Festival provides perhaps the clearest indicator – what normally takes until August to sell out disappeared in just four days this year. All 7,500 tickets, gone. Heaven Hill's Bernie Lubbers recently confirmed their exceptional fiscal year, and distilleries across Kentucky are reporting similar success. What many analysts missed was that last year's perceived slowdown was merely a temporary pause as society adjusted post-pandemic and navigated election year uncertainties.We dive deep into the evolution of bourbon collectors' interests, noting how the secondary market has shifted away from simply chasing allocated bottles like Weller and EH Taylor. Today's enthusiasts are increasingly drawn to unique barrel picks, innovative finishes, and craft distillery releases that offer something different. We also explore how American whiskey stands to benefit from international tariffs, potentially driving more consumers toward domestic products.The highlight of our episode is an in-depth breakdown of our barrel picks from Spirit of French Lick – the William Dalton (wheated bourbon) and Lillian Sinclair (rye bourbon). Both pot still products offer fascinating tasting notes ranging from kettle corn and cherry to baking spices and fresh bread.

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. Whether you're a seasoned collector or curious newcomer, seeking out these liquid time capsules offers a unique window into bourbon's rich heritage.Join us next week for our special Derby podcast where we'll explore the deep connections between Old Forrester, Brown-Forman, Woodford Reserve and Kentucky's most famous horse race.

Send us a textYellowstone Bourbon honors America's first national park while exploring the rich history behind this iconic brand that dates back to 1872. Stephen Beam, descending from two legendary distilling families, revived this historic label through Limestone Branch Distillery, continuing a tradition that survived Prohibition and multiple ownership changes.• One dollar from every bottle sold supports Yellowstone National Park• The brand was one of only six distilleries permitted to sell medicinal whiskey during Prohibition• Stephen Beam founded Limestone Branch in 2010, merging his family heritage with modern distilling• Limestone Branch began with just one barrel per day production capacity• Brand ambassador Stephen Fonte travels with cigars and bourbon for pairing experiences• The Toasted expression offers notes of root beer, sarsaparilla, burnt caramel, and cinnamon• The Beam and Dant families were united through marriage, connecting two distilling dynasties• Yellowstone's label features the iconic waterfall from the national parkJoin us next week for Derby Week festivities as we continue our exploration of America's historic bourbon brands and their connections to Kentucky traditions.The rich legacy of Yellowstone Bourbon stretches back to 1872, when this historic brand was established to honor America's first national park. Tonight, we journey through time to uncover how two of Kentucky's greatest distilling families—the Beams and the Dants—created a whiskey tradition that has survived Prohibition, changing ownership, and industry consolidation to emerge stronger than ever.Stephen & Paul Beam, carrying the bloodline of both legendary families, founded Limestone Branch Distillery in 2010 with a mission to reclaim their family's heritage. Starting with just one barrel per day and fermenting in modest equipment, They eventually partnered with Luxco to become the steward's of Yellowstone—a brand that once belonged to his ancestors. We explore how this full-circle journey represents the heart and soul of Kentucky bourbon culture.What makes Yellowstone toasted truly special goes beyond its remarkable flavor profile of root beer, burnt caramel, and cinnamon toast notes. For every bottle sold, one dollar supports conservation efforts at Yellowstone National Park, creating a connection between America's whiskey heritage and its natural treasures. The iconic waterfall label serves as a reminder of this unique partnership between distilling and conservation.We're joined by Knobs for his first podcast appearance with his new nickname as we sample Yellowstone's acclaimed Toasted expression, breaking down its aroma, body, taste, and finish through our signature Old Louisville Whiskey Company Barrel Bottle Breakdown rating system. Along the way, we debate the science of neck pours, the effect of synthetic corks, and whether bourbon evolves after it leaves the barrel—all while celebrating the storytelling tradition that makes bourbon culture so captivating.Have you experienced Yellowstone's connection to America's first national park?

The Heart Release celebrates the distillery team with fruit-forward notes of caramel, maple and chocolate, while the Keepers Release honors the warehouse teams with bold oak and toasted sweetness. Through meticulous tasting, we break down how the strategic placement of French oak staves transforms the classic Maker's profile in unexpected and delightful ways.Beyond the bottles themselves, we uncover the rich heritage of Star Hill Farm, where the Maker's Mark story began in 1953 when Bill Samuels Sr. set out to create a more refined, palatable bourbon without the harsh bite common in whiskeys of that era. The distillery's commitment to quality shines through their Ambassador Program, which allows fans to follow a barrel's journey from filling to bottling—culminating in the opportunity to purchase bottles from your very own barrel.The evolution of Maker's Mark mirrors broader trends in bourbon appreciation, with today's enthusiasts embracing higher proofs and more complex flavor profiles than ever before. Through our "Barrel Bottle Breakdown" rating system, we evaluate what makes these limited releases special and why they've become so sought-after among collectors and casual drinkers alike.

Barry's Batch, named for former Beam chairman and CEO Barry Berish, celebrates a man who guided the company for over 40 years until his passing earlier this year.This exceptional batch delivers everything bourbon enthusiasts seek in a premium barrel-strength release. At 125.7 proof, you might expect an aggressive heat, but Barry's Batch surprises with remarkable approachability. The nose immediately captivates with rich caramel aromas complemented by hints of peanut butter and vanilla that promise a memorable tasting experience.The flavor journey begins with honey sweetness on the tongue, developing into luscious caramel mid-palate before revealing warming cinnamon and allspice notes. What truly distinguishes this batch is its perfect balance – delivering full-bodied intensity without overwhelming the palate. Following Booker's philosophy of drinking bourbon "any damn way you please," we explored it neat, with a few drops of water (which amplified delightful peanut butter fudge notes), and over ice (bringing forward subtle graham cracker flavors).Aged 7 years, 2 months, and 4 days, this release demonstrates the meticulous barrel selection process that has become a hallmark of the Booker's brand. The blend incorporates barrels from five different warehouse locations, creating a complexity that tells the story of Kentucky's unpredictable aging environment. Each sip offers a window into why Booker's remains one of the most sought-after limited releases in American whiskey.Whether you're a longtime Booker's enthusiast or new to barrel-strength bourbon, Barry's Batch represents a fitting tribute to both its namesake and the enduring legacy of the Beam family.

Richard Quest is CNN's foremost international business correspondent and anchor of Quest Means Business, the definitive word on how we earn and spend our money. Based in New York, he is one of the most instantly recognizable members of the CNN team. Additionally, Quest is the host of two of CNN International's signature monthly feature programs: Business Traveller, which covers global business travel trends, issues and innovations of the travel industry, and Quest's World of Wonder, an immersive travel series that finds Quest exploring a new destination each month and meeting fascinating people who reveal the heart of the city. Quest also serves as CNN Business editor-at-large and often hosts the digital live financial show "Markets Now" live streamed from the floor of the NYSE every Wednesday at 12:45pm ET at CNNMoney.com/MarketsNow. Quest Means Business, which airs weekdays at 3pm ET / 8pm BST on CNN International, destroys the myth that business is boring, bridging the gap between hard economics and entertaining television. Quest is also the face of CNN's coverage of major UK events. He led CNN's coverage of the 'Brexit' vote in 2016, and has continued to report on the impact the historic vote is making on markets, economies and businesses. He used his expert knowledge of the British Royal Family to front the channel's coverage of the 2018 marriage of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle; the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations in 2012 live from the banks of the River Thames; and the 2011 marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton, now the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. His coverage of breaking news, which has spanned more than two decades, has seen him report on a range of stories from the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the death of Yasser Arafat, the Lockerbie Pan Am 103 crash to the death of Michael Jackson. Quest is more than just business; there are few journalists who have had guests as varied, from His Holiness, The Dalai Lama to actress Joan Collins to founder of Playboy Magazine, Hugh Hefner. The United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) awarded Quest the 2013 UNWTO Award for Lifetime Achievement in recognition of his work as a business journalist reporting on the tourism industry. Prior to joining CNN, he worked at the BBC, where he was the North America business correspondent, based on Wall Street for 12 years. Quest is British, holds an LLB (Hons) degree in Law from Leeds University, and was called to the Bar.

Michael Mwenso was born in Freetown, Sierra Leone but spent his teenage years hanging out at the legendary jazz club Ronnie Scott's in London where he was exposed to musicians such as Betty Carter, Elvin Jones, Ray Brown and Cedar Walton. In his youth, Mwenso started honing his talents as a trombonist, singer and performer playing in swing bands, reggae and Afrobeat horn sections. Mwenso's talent as a performer caught the attention of many, which subsequently led him to meet James Brown who allotted space for him to sing and dance at his London shows. In 2012, friend and jazz musician Wynton Marsalis brought Mwenso to New York City to serve as curator and programming associate at Jazz at Lincoln Center where he also booked nightly sets at Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola. Over the next few years, Mwenso also booked throughout the institution at large. Through these performances at Dizzy's, Mwenso began to collaborate with a wide variety of Juilliard trained musicians that soon became known as The Shakes. This unique group of global artists presents music that merges entertainment and artistry through African and Afro-American music. In addition, Mwenso continues to break new ground as a cultural ambassador and artist in residence at various universities. Driven by Mwenso's deep ancestral understanding of the African-American music tradition, his role at these Universities is to not only teach numerous classes on Black music but grow the arts scene within their local community while creating more programming focusing on Black artists. Through this work, Mwenso has partnered with Penn State University, Georgia Tech, Miami University, University at Buffalo and Sonoma State University as a guest professor and cultural ambassador of Black music. Michael is a sought-after cultural curator as well as a master at distributing the spiritual nutrition inherent in Black music with Electric Root, the mission-driven company he co-leads with Jono Gasparro.

I am an airline pilot from one of the world's leading airlines based in Hong Kong. I was a fine arts major and a fashion designer before becoming a pilot. I discovered my passion in aviation when I once entered the cockpit on a leisure travel flight as an airline staff, a cabin crew. I pursued my aviation dream through the company's cadet pilot programme. It was intensive and challenging but rewarding. I am passionate about using my story to inspire the younger generation and encourage other women to go after their dreams and become the person they want to be. I volunteer in Hong Kong Youth Aviation Academy (HKYAA) as an instructor, and serve on the Female Pilot Advisory Group (FPAG) and the Peer Assistant Network (PAN) within my company. I am also a protégés of The Women's Foundation (TWF) in the mentoring program. I have been invited as a guest speaker in school talks and different organisations. Also, I created a series called #LifeLessonsFromTheSky on social media to continue to spread the good vibes. Read more on Christina's Instagram.
