That's how our Bourbon on the Banks weekend really started: a risky trade of perfect couch seats for a bucket-list pour, followed by a blur of Whiskey Thief hospitality, House of Commons dusties, and a festival tent that finally felt dialed in. We brought the mics, the Glencairns, and the stories; the river brought the rest.From there, we chased flavor and history. Limestone Branch joined us for cigars and their new eight-year bourbon in a replica 1850s limestone bottle. We unpacked a gift with weight: Bardstown's cathedral oak finish, made from French oak harvested for the Notre Dame rebuild, signed by Steve Nally for a birthday we plan to toast with friends. These aren't just bottles—they're chapters about craftsmanship, aging, sourcing, and the people who make it all possible.Then the breakdown began. We put Augusta Distillery's 13-year single barrel (140.8 proof) under the glass with our Barrel Bottle Breakdown scoring. The nose felt like molasses and brown sugar with a sneaky chocolate-peanut snap; the body coated and lingered; the palate delivered vanilla, caramel, cherry, and leather with the kind of confidence you expect from a 13-year. The twist? A medium finish that chose restraint over the chest-thumping “hug” you'd predict at hazmat. To test our instincts, we staged a head-to-head with Augusta Revival 13 (141 proof): Revival brought the warmth and length; Augusta 13 brought the polish and poise. Depending on your style—hug or harmony—you'll have a favorite.If you care about rare pours, hazmat bourbons, OFC lore, and why House of Commons belongs on your Frankfort map, this one's for you. Pull up a glass, taste along, and tell us where you land on finish: do you want a gentle fade or a long, spicy wave?

In a very special episode, host Todd Ritter travels back in time to sit down with a true titan of the bourbon industry: the ghost of Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. himself. Taking a brief leave from his permanent residence in the Frankfort Cemetery, the Colonel joins the show to tell his incredible life story in his own words. He recounts his early life, from being orphaned as a child and sent to live with a prominent guardian in New Orleans to being adopted by his uncle—the original Edmund Haynes Taylor—in Frankfort. Colonel Taylor explains how he learned the banking business first, giving him a unique financial insight into the successes and failures of Kentucky's early distillers. This business acumen, combined with access to the meticulous distilling notes of the legendary Dr. James C. Crow, set him on a path to revolutionize the industry. He details his trip to Europe to study Old World techniques, bringing back innovations like climate-controlled rickhouses and copper distilling equipment. He walks listeners through the founding of his iconic distilleries, from the O.F.C. and Hermitage to his ultimate masterpiece, the Old Taylor Distillery (now Castle & Key), a stunning "showcase" designed to be the birthplace of bourbon tourism. Along the way, he shares tales of his famous falling out with his one-time business partner, George T. Stagg. In the second half, the man behind the portrayal, Frankfort historian Russ Kennedy, steps out of character to join the show. Russ shares his own fascinating journey from being the "world's worst history student" to becoming one of Frankfort's most passionate historical storytellers. After a career with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife, a post-retirement gig as a tour guide at the State Capitol ignited a love for local history. He discusses how he developed his craft, first portraying Frankfort's founder, Stephen Frank, before taking on the iconic role of Colonel Taylor. Russ talks about his work today, leading historical walking tours by appointment, making special appearances as the Colonel at distilleries and events, and his involvement in projects like the Frankfort bourbon history documentary. This unique episode is a departure from the usual tasting format, offering a rich, story-driven deep dive into the life and legacy of one of bourbon's most influential figures.

We kicked off Bourbon on the Banks with Whiskey Thief's farm party, then hustled through a whirlwind run of Four Roses, Wild Turkey, Buffalo Trace, and Larkin before settling into House of Commons, where the shelves read like a history book you can sip. That's where a generous friend handed us a bucket-list dram of Old-Fashioned Copper and reminded us why community makes bourbon culture special.Back at the booth, we recorded with Stephen Beam and Stephen Fontaine, talked Yellowstone's new bottle, and still found time to explore McBrayer's Cedar Brook and other up-and-comers on the festival grounds. The street festival lit up Frankfort—fire jump ropes, music, and a surprise gift: a Cathedral French Oak finish bottle signed by Steve Nally, tied to Notre Dame's restoration. Moments like that turned a packed schedule into a memory reel.We closed with a deep dive on Four Roses: the 10 recipes, the yeast strains, the mash bills, and why OBSK—Four Roses' high-rye K yeast—hits that sweet spot of baking spice, fruit, and structure. Our Old Louisville Whiskey Co–style breakdown put the single barrel at 16/18: a lively nose, massive body for the proof, balanced palate, and a finish that drifts into dark chocolate and vanilla. If you're building a hunting list, “Four Roses OBSK single barrel” belongs on it. If you're here for stories, you'll hear how the right crowd turns a glass into a night you'll talk about all year.Subscribe, leave a review, and share this with a friend who loves a good pour.

These unique barrels were hand-selected by the Bourbon on the Banks team and will be prominently marked by 7-foot flags at the distilleries' tents. The expressions tasted on the show include: Angel's Envy Port Finish Single Barrel Pick: The tasting kicks off with this crowd-pleasing pour. The hosts discover inviting notes of campfire, overripe berries, and dark vanilla on the nose. The palate is savory and rich, carrying over those ripe berry notes from the fortified wine finish, making it a perfect pairing for a fine cigar. Casey Jones Distillery Single Barrel Rye: This selection comes with a great story—the picking team was tied, so they let the distillery make the final choice on this fantastic rye. It's described as a "bourbon drinker's rye" that surprised the panel during the blind selection. It features a complex nose of tobacco, mint chocolate, and honey, with a palate that delivers notes of candied orange and caramel apple. Bespoken Spirits 12-Year Single Barrel: A truly unique offering, this 12-year-old Barton-sourced bourbon is finished in Riesling wine barrels. It immediately impresses with a rich, aged nose of mature oak and concentrated fruit. The hosts praise it as an "exceptional whiskey," with a massively concentrated flavor profile that makes it a perfect special-occasion nightcap. Short Barrel 8-Year Single Barrel Bourbon: The tasting concludes with this powerhouse, an 8-year-old bourbon distilled at the former OZ Tyler distillery (now Green River) and bottled at a staggering 135.7 proof. Despite the high proof, it offers a beautifully complex palate with notes of milk chocolate, chewy cherry, burnt caramel, nougat, and a hint of sandalwood. Tune in for incredible stories, detailed tasting notes, and your complete guide to one of Kentucky's premier bourbon festivals. For those who want to attend, Diane urges listeners to act fast, as tickets for many events are limited or already sold out.

Episode Summary: When the church stays quiet, society suffers. In this episode, Richard Nelson joins us to explore how Christians can faithfully engage in politics without falling into one of two extremes: ignoring politics or putting too much hope in and idolizing politics. We tackle common misconceptions about the separation of church and state and look at the chilling effects of the Johnson Amendment, which prohibits 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations from engaging in any political campaign activity. Since most churches have this status, the amendment applies to them. Richard urges the church to disciple believers in speaking truth with integrity, resist partisan co-opting, and address pressing moral issues like conscience rights for healthcare workers. This conversation challenges Christians to step boldly into public life with a biblical vision rooted in truth, integrity, and a fear of God above all else.Who is Disciple Nations Alliance (DNA)? Since 1997, DNA's mission has been to equip followers of Jesus around the globe with a biblical worldview, empowering them to build flourishing families, communities, and nations.

Tras décadas en las que parecía que Porsche solo tenía éxito con su 911, la marca consiguió salir de ese “agujero” y ser una de las más rentables del Mundo… si no la que más. Y en lo que va de 2025 su beneficio ha caído un 67 por ciento. No es la única: Mercedes ha caído el 56 por ciento… ¿Qué está pasando? Te lo vamos a contar, pero te anticipo algo: La crisis de Porsche es, en realidad, la crisis de Europa. Hoy, en este video, nos centraremos en Porsche como ejemplo de lo que está pasando a las marcas europeas y en especial a las Premium… que es casi como decir a las alemanas. Ya le llegará al turno a otras, pero Porsche me parece el ejemplo perfecto para explicar una crisis que no es de una marca, es de una industria: La industria del motor europea… Y ya sabéis que me gusta comenzar las historias por el principio. A Porsche le costó salir de la “trampa” que suponía el éxito del 911. Hubo varios intentos fallidos: Primero, en 1969, llegó el 914, un proyecto conjunto con VW para hacer crecer la marca “por abajo” … fue un fracaso. Luego, en 1976, llegó el 924, otro proyecto nacido para VW y que recompró la propia Porsche. Se lanzó con motor Audi-VW, un 4 cilindros “de agua” y con unos 120 CV y no triunfó… las sucesivas evoluciones 944 y 968 mejoraron mucho el coche, pero no consiguieron los objetivos de ventas previstos. Porsche, preocupada en ¡1978! porque el 911 se les quedaba anticuado se inventaron un sucesor, un Gran Turismo excelente, el 928, con sofisticada tecnología y motor V8… que ni de lejos fue capaza de hacer sombra al 911. La cosa pintaba mal hasta que en 1996 alguien tuvo una feliz idea y llegó el Boxster, un modelo con motor central y aspecto de 911, pero descapotable, más pequeño y sobre todo más barato … una puerta de entrada a la marca. Solo 6 años después aparece el Cayenne, por fin un Porsche con 4 puertas laterales, con todo lo bueno de la marca Porsche, pero en formato ideal para aquellos que querían un Porsche, pero no quería la incomodidad y falta de practicidad de un Coupé. Más adelante se presenta el Panamera, en 2009, la primera verdadera berlina de Porsche y en 2014 el Macan, que por simplificar es al Cayenne lo que el Boxster o su equivalente coupé, el Cayman, al 911: Un modelo más pequeño y más barato. La marca pasa a ofrecer modelos no solo de gasolina, sino de gasóleo, híbridos de todo tipo y con el Taycan, presentado en 2019, modelos 10x100 eléctricos. En poco más de 10 años Porsche había pasado de tener una gama mínima, a ofrecer modelos de todo tipo y motorización, pero decididamente muy Premium, caros… y que dejaban buenos márgenes de beneficios. Se puede decir que Porsche se convirtió en la “marca perfecta”, que lo hacía todo bien: coches espectaculares, tecnología puntera, beneficios envidiables… Y de repente, llega 2025, y Porsche ve caer su beneficio operativo un 67%. ¿Qué ha pasado? Crisis de liderazgo. El propio Oliver Blume, CEO de Porsche y del Grupo Volkswagen, ha tenido que intervenir directamente para intentar reconducir la situación. ¿La razón? Caída de beneficios, falta de estrategia clara y presión de los inversores.” En Porsche, las tensiones internas estallaron a comienzos de 2025 cuando el director financiero Lutz Meschke, y el jefe de ventas Detlev von Platen fueron “invitados” a salir por la puerta de atrás en una restructuración sorpresa de la cúpula. El coche eléctrico: En el ojo del huracán. ¡Como no! El coche eléctrico está en el centro de todo este lío. Si no habéis visto el video titulado “PORSCHE RECTIFICA: Más térmicos, menos eléctricos” donde cuento mi conversación con los “jefazos” de Porsche en la presentación de su prototipo Mission E, la Semilla del Taycan, en el salón de Frankfort de 2015… pues deberíais verlo. Ahora Porsche, y otras muchas marcas “occidentales” se están replanteando sus objetivos. De unas ventas de eléctricos del 80 por ciento ahora hablan de modelo de combustión y, sobre todo, híbridos. También hemos hecho un video comparando las ventajas de eléctricos e híbridos, por cierto. En GH es que tenemos de todos… ¡nos acercamos a los 1.500 videos! Nuestros políticos, ¿saben lo que hacen? Estamos dando “caña” a las marcas, pero gran parte de la culpa de lo que esta sucediendo la tiene una normativa europea inadecuada y que no da tregua. Llega la nueva normativa de emisiones “Euro 7”, super exigente, aunque menos de lo previsto, que obliga a las marcas a invertir millones en tecnologías de combustión… justo cuando todas las marcas están volcadas en los eléctricos. La Unión Europea se ha convertido en una máquina de general normativa. China, de salvavidas a lastre. Durante los últimos años, China se convirtió en un gran mercado para las marcas europeas, en especial la Premium. Pero la oferta en este segmento de marcas chinas con productos cada vez más atractivos ha provocado que, en 2025, Porsche haya visto sus ventas caer un 33 por ciento solo en el primer trimestre. Los aranceles, el “juguete” de Trump. Si en vez de al Este, miramos al Oeste… pues las cosas tampoco pintan bien. EE.UU. ha impuesto aranceles del 25% a muchos vehículos y componentes europeos. Según Porsche esta medida les ha costado unos 400 millones de euros en lo que va de 2025. Y aunque Porsche sigue vendiendo relativamente bien allí, el hecho de no tener una fábrica en suelo estadounidense, lejos de ser una ventaja, podría convertirse en un inconveniente. Otras marcas europeas ya lo vieron antes. La conclusión es clara: quien no produzca localmente, salvo que las cosas cambien, lo va a tener cada vez más difícil para competir en igualdad de condiciones. Un mundo global… ¿seguro? Europa, China y EE.UU. tienen gustos y leyes muy diferentes. No sé qué es más diferente, si los gustos o las leyes… En Europa gustan los compactos eficientes y los coches técnicamente sofisticados, en EE.UU. quieren SUV´s y pick-ups no grandes, sino enormes y en China, pantallas, karaokes, mucha conectividad y coches eléctricos de alto rendimiento. Cada mercado con gustos y regulaciones distintas, requieren diseños distintos, equipamientos distintos… en definitiva, coches distintos. Eso encarece los desarrollos, complica las homologaciones y obliga a tomar decisiones de producto, en ocasiones, muy arriesgadas. El final de un ciclo. Europa construyó buena parte de su industria del automóvil sobre dos pilares: energía barata y exportaciones fuertes. Pero el tablero de juego ha cambiado. Con la guerra en Ucrania, los precios de la energía se han disparado. Las fábricas europeas, que antes tenían costes energéticos razonables, ahora producen con un sobrecoste brutal frente a Asia o EE.UU. Porsche, como muchas otras, ha tenido que revisar márgenes y eficiencia en sus plantas. Y si a eso le sumas que las exportaciones caen por la competencia y los aranceles, el modelo de negocio clásico europeo se tambalea. Conclusión. Podría ser esta: “Mal de muchos, consuelo de tontos” Cierto, Porsche está en crisis, pero no está sola. Lo que le pasa a Porsche es lo que le está ocurriendo a buena parte de la industria europea.

In this globe-trotting episode of The Bourbon Road, hosts Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter are joined once again by Rob Carter, one-third of the “Maltmigos,” for a single malt tasting session that travels from the Himalayas to the Highlands. Though Amzie couldn't make the show this time, the malt trio powers forward from their tasting post at The Corner Rickhouse in Frankfort, Kentucky. The spotlight this episode is on Royal Tiger Single Malt, a double-cask expression from Ocean King Distillers in Goa, India. Distilled by Craig Enriques, this single malt is made from six-row Himalayan barley and aged first in new ex-bourbon casks before being re-casked for a second maturation. The result? A spirit layered with creamy vanilla, overripe pear, honey-drizzled bread, and a whisper of spice from the oak—delightfully balanced and surprisingly sweet for fans of traditional single malt. Jim, Todd, and Rob dig into the expression's structure, remarking on its buttercream and vanilla-laced nose, light body, and smooth, sweet finish. They note that while the whiskey skews a little sweeter than their usual fare, it offers a refreshing break from the bolder, high-proof bourbons they typically favor. For a $49 bottle, the consensus was unanimous: this Indian single malt punches well above its weight. Other expressions tasted during the show are Ice Cream from Glenmorangie, Loch Lemond and Glen Scotia. As they sip, the conversation ranges from distilling techniques to global whiskey culture. The team highlights India's rapidly growing single malt scene and how regional water sources, climate, and local grain are contributing to distinct profiles that rival the best from Scotland or the U.S. They also muse about the potential for single malt cream liqueurs and whether peated versions could offer a new kind of dessert dram. Beyond the glass, the hosts discuss upcoming barrel picks in western Kentucky, share travel plans to Fort Campbell and Clarksville, and reflect on the value of tasting outside your comfort zone. For Rob, this was a first-time single malt deep dive; for listeners, it's a lesson in palate exploration, regional nuance, and just plain good company. So whether you're a bourbon loyalist or a curious malthead, this episode is an open invitation to explore a world of flavor—no passport required.

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.   Visitors interested in touring the distillery can learn more and book a free tour at buffalotracedistillery.com.

Today on the podcast I'm talking with Tamara Frankfort Odinec and Shari Joseph, the brilliant creators behind My Next Chapter, a new expert-led digital platform designed to support people through every stage of divorce with guidance, community, and curated content. What started as two women trying to find clarity in their own divorces has become a full-fledged resource hub with everything they wished they had when they were in the thick of it. When I was going through my divorce, I would've given anything for a one-stop place to land, a space that wasn't just filled with noise or horror stories, but real, grounded guidance from experts who knew what they were talking about. That's exactly what Tamara and Shari have created with My Next Chapter. Tamara is post-divorce, Shari is in the messy middle, and together, they've built something I genuinely believe will change the divorce support landscape. Here's what else we discuss in this episode: The origins of My Next Chapter and why having expert-led support is non-negotiable when you're navigating divorce (4:32) What makes this platform different from anything else out there (11:27) How My Next Chapter is designed to meet you exactly where you are and walk with you as you evolve (24:24) How anonymity, mentorship, and community are changing the way we move through divorce (34:43) Learn more about Tamara Frankfort Odinec: Tamara Frankfort Odinec has spent the past 25 years at the forefront of technology and marketing in various leadership roles, most recently as the founder of My Next Chapter, an expert-led platform and community for people going through every stage of divorce.

Prior to this, Tamara led successful entrepreneurial endeavors for brands such as Real Simple Magazine and American Express and served as Chief Marketing Officer of Flywheel Sports.

Planning 5x7 blanket (30x42”) before border. Modification- the pattern calls for attaching new yarn (at the end of the square) to make the stem for the clover. I just chain to get to the center, make the stem and cut the yarn. I find it easy to crochet the granny square around it in Mint. No issues and one less end to weave in. I am joining squares as I go.

In this episode of The Bourbon Road, hosts Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter sit down in Frankfort, Kentucky, with filmmaker and bourbon enthusiast Bo Cumberland. Known to fans of the show and followers of the Bourbon Road Facebook community, Bo is the creative mind behind the documentary Frankfort, Kentucky: The Heart of Bourbon, a project highlighting the deep roots and vibrant community surrounding bourbon in Kentucky's capital. Bo shares his personal journey - from his move from Knoxville, Tennessee to Sparta, Kentucky - driven by a passion for bourbon and a desire to immerse himself in the culture and camaraderie that bourbon fosters. The conversation touches on his creative inspirations, the challenges and joys of independent filmmaking, and how the Frankfort Bourbon Society shaped his vision for the documentary. Listeners will enjoy Bo's down-to-earth perspective on bourbon as more than just a drink - it's a social connector, a cultural icon, and a personal passion. Whether you're curious about life behind the camera, the storytelling of Kentucky bourbon, or what makes a good pour among friends, this episode is one to savor.

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 .
