The Maltmigos ride again! Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter welcome back two fan favorites — Amzie Wenning and Rob Carter — for another deep dive into the world of American single malt whiskey. Recorded at the Corner Rickhouse in Frankfort, Kentucky, this episode sends the foursome on a cross-country tasting journey spanning North Carolina, Minnesota, Maryland, Virginia, and Colorado, all without leaving their seats. On the Tasting Mat: - Lost Lantern Single Cask — Oak & Grist Distillery American Single Malt (125.6 Proof, 3 Years Old): A grain-to-glass single malt from Black Mountain, North Carolina, sourced by independent bottler Lost Lantern. Distilled using locally sourced barley within 60 miles of the distillery and aged in used bourbon barrels, this three-year-old pours a light straw color. The nose is immediately fruity and aromatic — apple juice, white grape, and a touch of apple brandy — with a mild ethanol lift. On the palate, juicy orchard fruit gives way to a buttery warmth with a subtle floral honeysuckle note and a spicy white pepper and anise finish. Retail: ~$90. *(00:02:03)* - Brother Justice American Single Malt Single Barrel (125.7 Proof): From Minneapolis, Minnesota, this craft whiskey uses 100% Minnesota-sourced malted barley. Named for a Benedictine monk who built stills for struggling farmers during Prohibition, Brother Justice leans into darker, richer territory. The nose opens with dark fruit, oak, and a hint of chocolate brownie — think cosmic brownie — with a whisper of anise. The palate delivers a full, warming experience with chocolate mint, fig Newton, and a touch of orange zest. Retail: ~$85. *(00:10:12)* - Old Line Spirits Madeira Cask Finished American Single Malt Single Barrel (125.4 Proof, 7 Years Old): Produced by two retired Navy aviators in Baltimore, Maryland, this single barrel was aged four years in new American oak before spending three years finishing in Madeira casks. The color is strikingly dark, and the nose is nothing short of decadent — molasses, pralines, maple, fruitcake, and toasted nuts. On the palate, rich Kahlúa-like flavors of roasted coffee, dark chocolate, and rum-forward sweetness emerge, with a lingering anise and licorice finish. Retail: ~$65. *(00:21:55)* - Virginia Distillery Company First Cut Cigar Blend (108 Proof, 7 Years Old): The largest dedicated American single malt distillery in the U.S., Virginia Distillery Company in Lovingston, Virginia, produced this ambitious expression. Aged five years in ex-bourbon barrels, it was then finished across eight different cask types: Sherry, Fino Sherry, Port, STR (Shave Toasted Re-Charred), Chateau Palmer Cabernet, Armagnac, Cognac, and Islay Scotch casks. The nose is Scotch-forward with dark fruit and a subtle smokiness. The palate is concentrated and slightly sticky, with smoked chocolate, bright berry, wine-forward fruit, and a savory Port character. Retail: ~$60. *(00:30:50)* - Stranahan's Founders Release American Single Malt (120 Proof, 12 Years Old) [Bonus Pour]: One of the pioneering names in American single malt, Denver-based Stranahan's was founded in 2004 using Flying Dog Brewery's 100% malted barley beer wash. This rare 12-year Founders Release was aged in heavily charred new American white oak before finishing in ex-bourbon and blonde ale casks. The nose is like walking into a bakery — almond extract, cinnamon buns, candied pecans, coconut, and orange zest. On the palate, cinnamon butter, caramel, and a cream-center candy sweetness shine through, with warm spice and a long, lush finish. Retail: ~$199. *(00:42:27)* The Maltmigos prove once again that the American single malt category is anything but predictable. From a bright, Scotch-inspired three-year-old out of Appalachia to a 12-year Colorado pioneer that conjures a bakery in full swing, today's lineup showcases the incredible range that American distillers are bringing to malted barley whiskey. Keep an eye on these producers — and if you spot any of these bottles on a shelf, don't hesitate.

Todd Ritter flies solo without his usual co-host Jim Shannon, but he's far from alone — returning guest Amzie Wenning joins alongside David Sandlin from the House of Commons Bar in Frankfort, Kentucky. The episode centers on a live barrel pick for Bourbon on the Banks Festival, with the trio working through three single-barrel samples from Jackson Purchase Distillery before landing on their selection. Along the way, they warm up with Jackson Purchase's newest release and close out with a surprise bonus pour that pushes the boundaries of what a bourbon podcast usually covers. On the Tasting Mat: - Jackson Purchase Kentucky Select: A 108-proof (54% ABV) straight bourbon built on a 70/20/10 corn-rye-malted barley mash bill, aged approximately four to four and a half years. The nose opens with brown sugar, cinnamon, and a morning-bun warmth — coffee cake and orange zest. The palate delivers sweet corn up front, cinnamon that carries from the nose, and a pleasant mid-palate spice. Caramel and a touch of maple round out the mid-palate, with black tea and a light pepper sizzle on the finish. Impressive color and complexity for its age. *(00:01:58)* - Jackson Purchase Barrel #345 (Single Barrel Sample) — 126.2 proof: One of three barrel candidates submitted for the Bourbon on the Banks Festival pick, distilled October 13, 2021 (lot code 21J13), aged four and a half years, 70/20/10 mash bill. The nose shows vanilla, snickerdoodle cookie dough, and a warm cinnamon-sugar sweetness. On the palate the sweetness is forward and easy-drinking, with clove, orange citrus, and brown sugar notes that read like mulled cider spices. The finish carries a pleasant spicy sizzle with black pepper. Re-visiting this barrel after the other two caused the vanilla to bloom further on the nose. *(00:36:10)* - Jackson Purchase Barrel #363 (Single Barrel Sample) — 128.6 proof: The highest-proof of the three candidates, also four and a half years old on the same mash bill, distilled October 15, 2021 (lot code 21J15). The nose leads with malted barley, honey bread, and a faint grain character — reminiscent of fresh-milled malt. A floral, herbal quality (sage, light thyme) and a lemon-zest citrus note emerge with time. On the palate, honey and malted barley dominate up front, followed by a punch of mid-palate spice. The finish arrives as a wave rather than a sharp sizzle, fading to lemon, black tea, and a gentle tingle on the tongue. *(00:38:00)* - Jackson Purchase Barrel #373 (Single Barrel Sample) — 125.8 proof: The lowest-proof candidate, sharing the same October 15, 2021 fill date and lot code (21J15) as Barrel #363. The nose carries some similarities to Barrel #363 — malt, black tea — but with a faint phenolic or smoky quality and a touch of salinity. The grain character is less pronounced than in Barrel #363. On the palate, it offers a cleaner, more refined profile with a notably long and satisfying finish that stood out from the other two candidates. *(00:41:01)* - Copper and Kings Brandy — Barrel Select (140.4 proof): A 10-year-old grape brandy from Copper and Kings in Louisville, Kentucky, made from a blend of Folle Blanche, Muscat, and Colombard grapes, aged entirely in a used Weller bourbon barrel. This is the Bourbon on the Banks Festival single barrel selection for 2025. The nose is all grape candy, lemon zest, and green tea with lemon — vibrant and aromatic. The palate delivers concord grape, lemon citrus, apple, and a honeyed richness that references the bourbon barrel without losing its brandy identity. A uniquely approachable yet complex spirit that bridges the worlds of brandy and bourbon. *(00:53:29)* Jackson Purchase Distillery, founded with Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Famer Craig Beam and master distiller Terry Ballard and located in Hickman, Fulton County — just two and a half miles from Tennessee — is producing some of the most impressive young bourbon in the commonwealth. A visitor experience is expected to open in fall 2025, so check before making the drive. Bourbon on the Banks returns to Frankfort, Kentucky, with an expanded single barrel program featuring picks from Angel's Envy, Wilderness Trail, Dark Arts, Heaven Hill, Jeptha Creed, Leapers Fork, Abstraction Spirits, Boondocks, Whiskey Thief, and more.

Join golf course superintendents, assistant superintendents, and industry leaders at the Leadership on the Links Summit on October 12, 2026, at Toftrees Resort in State College, Pennsylvania. The day focuses on personal branding, leadership development, and building high-performing teams. Register at https://bloomgolfpartners.com/our-events/ Introduction  Few superintendents have become as closely associated with a single property as Michael Morris, CGCS (Retired), whose 38-year career at Crystal Downs Country Club in Frankfort, Michigan earned him the 2023 Golf Association of Michigan Superintendent Award of Merit. His green speed research with Dr. Thomas Nikolai of Michigan State University has influenced how superintendents manage putting surfaces and communicate expectations to golfers. Today, Morris serves as Project Manager for the Michigan Golf Course Association's Golf Course Maintenance Technician Registered Apprenticeship Program, where he mentors apprentices and the superintendents who train them. On this episode of Leadership on the Links, host Tyler Bloom speaks with Morris about stewarding an Alister MacKenzie and Perry Maxwell design, using data to build member trust, and developing the next generation of golf course professionals. What You'll Learn in this Episode: •       Morris explains why he remained at Crystal Downs for 38 years, crediting a club culture grounded in family, legacy, and long tenure rather than turnover. •       Maintaining a MacKenzie and Maxwell design required balancing modern expectations, such as lower mowing heights and firmer, faster greens, with a steady commitment to preserving the course's original character. •       A multi-year green speed study with Dr. Thomas Nikolai led Crystal Downs to communicate a target green speed range rather than a single number, supported by daily measurements and member surveys. •       Working effectively with changing green committee chairs, board members, and club presidents depends on adaptability, open communication, and a shared focus on the club's long-term interests. •       Clubs seeking to raise their standards should align expectations with available resources, prioritize what their golfers value most, and plan for irrigation, cart paths, and bunkers 10 to 20 years in advance. •       The MGCA Registered Apprenticeship Program, built on U.S. Department of Labor standards, combines on-the-job training, 144 hours of GCSAA online coursework, and state pesticide applicator certification toward journey worker status. •       Apprenticeships strengthen both the apprentice and the supervising superintendent, helping clubs retain skilled staff in their local communities while sharpening the skills of those who train them.

Todd Ritter and Jim Shannon are back at the Corner Rick House in Frankfort, Kentucky, diving deep into one of whiskey's most exotic finishing woods — Mizunara oak. Native to Japan and harvested only from trees aged 200 to 500 years old, Mizunara (Quercus crispula) barrels can cost anywhere from four to six thousand dollars each, making them one of the rarest and most expensive casks in the whiskey world. The duo explores how four very different American whiskeys — from craft operations to storied Kentucky distilleries — interact with this sandalwood-and-coconut-forward Japanese oak, proving that the same finishing wood can yield wildly divergent results depending on the base spirit, age, and fill history of the cask. On the Tasting Mat: - Four Roses Experimental Series #001 Mizunara Cask Finish: A first-ever experimental cask release from Four Roses, this six-year OBSK Kentucky straight bourbon (65% corn, 35% high rye, 5% malted barley, K yeast strain) is bottled at 104 proof in a 375ml format with an MSRP of $55. The nose is bright, floral, and citrus-forward with lemon and green apple; the palate opens with a wave of sweetness, baking spice, and a striking citrus note reminiscent of lemon heads, finishing with an Arnold Palmer-like tea-and-lemonade quality. *(00:30:00)* - Starlight Mizunara Reserve Small Batch #0003: An annual limited release from Starlight Distillery in Indiana, this 110-proof eight-barrel blend marries two mashbills — a three-grain corn/rye/malt and a four-grain corn/rye/malt/wheat — both from sweet mash recipes, finished six to eighteen months in Mizunara. The nose is subtle and requires coaxing, offering darker caramel, sandalwood, and incense-like depth. The palate delivers a memorable toasted coconut and piña colada quality alongside baking spice and darker fruit, with a rich mid-palate that rewards patience. MSRP $150. *(00:13:22)* - Hard Truth Barrel Finish Reserve Series Mizunara Finished Weeted Bourbon: From Hard Truth Distillery in Nashville, Indiana, this 116-proof weeted bourbon (69% corn, 19% wheat, 12% malted barley) delivers one of the most aromatic noses of the session — a vibrant, evolving fruit medley of raspberry, strawberry, light cream, and peach that practically leaps from the glass. The palate rolls across the entire mouth with creamy berry sweetness before an unexpected burst of spice on the back of the palate, finishing long with a persistent, satisfying sizzle. MSRP approximately $75. *(00:27:32)* - Dark Arts Whiskey 7.5-Year Mizunara Finished Bourbon (Bourbon on the Banks Pick): A Bourbon on the Banks exclusive private selection from Dark Arts Whiskey in Lexington, Kentucky, this 7.5-year MGP high-rye bourbon (60% corn, 36% rye, 4% malted barley) is limited to just 72 bottles. The nose opens with a fresh, slightly minty brightness layered with cooked apple and a distinctive sawdust-and-sandalwood Mizunara character suggesting a first-fill barrel. The palate is velvety and full-mouthed with a sticky, lingering texture, coconut on the finish, and a gentle white pepper mid-palate spice that builds slowly. *(00:43:37)* The Corner Rick House session wraps up with all four glasses back on the mat for a final comparative lap, confirming just how dramatically the same finishing wood transforms depending on the vessel, the base whiskey, and the hand guiding the selection. Todd and Jim also reflect on a recent listener meetup at the Corner Rick House — joined by Bourbon Roadies from Ohio, Florida, and Georgia as well as members of the Frankfort Bourbon Society — and preview upcoming events including Bourbon on the Banks. Whether you are a longtime Mizunara devotee or approaching Japanese oak for the first time, this episode is a masterclass in how one rare cask can tell four completely different stories.

We also get into the festival's bottle game: distilleries can sell on-site, out-of-state brands run purchases through Capital Cellars, and the Shriners bottle check keeps you from hauling glass all afternoon while supporting a great cause.  Then we zoom out to the full Bourbon On The Banks weekend experience: the Thursday kickoff at Whiskey Thief, the bourbon boat event, the Four Roses pub stroll across downtown, Friday's food pairing, and the VIP reception and charity auction where special pours often show up that you won't see on Saturday. We also cover festival barrel picks worth hunting, new comfort upgrades like more seating and shade, the Bourbon Women tent sessions that are open to everyone, and how the event continues to push serious dollars back into local charities.  If you're planning your first trip or tightening your game plan for this year, hit play, share this with your festival crew, and leave us a review so more bourbon fans can find the show.

On this episode of The Bourbon Life Podcast, Mark and Matt are joined by Diane Strong, Executive Director of Bourbon on the Banks, for a great conversation about the continued growth of the festival and what guests can expect when it returns to Frankfort on Saturday, October 3. Diane talks about how Bourbon on the Banks has evolved since its beginning in 2019, why its relaxed atmosphere along the Kentucky River has become such an important part of its identity, and how the event continues to attract returning guests from across Kentucky and beyond. She also walks Mark and Matt through the full weekend of activities surrounding the festival, including special tastings, the Bourbon Belle, the VIP Reception and Bourbon Auction, Bourbon Street on Broadway, and the Saturday festival itself. The conversation also explores the charitable mission behind Bourbon on the Banks and the significant amount of money the organization gives back each year to local nonprofits, civic organizations, and scholarship programs. Diane shares why that mission remains at the heart of the festival and how it continues to shape plans for the future. Along the way, Mark, Matt, and Diane taste and review three of the 2026 Bourbon on the Banks Single Barrel selections that will be available at the festival: Angel's Envy Port Finished Single Barrel Bourbon, Dark Arts Oloroso Finished Single Barrel Bourbon, and Dark Arts Mizunara Finished Single Barrel Bourbon.

Welcome back, roadies! Todd and Jim are joined in the corner of Rick House in Frankfort, Kentucky by returning guest Drew Hannush of the Whiskey Lore podcast for his sixth appearance on the show. The crew had just come off a big night in Lawrenceburg attending the premiere of Bo Cumberland's documentary *Spirit of Lawrenceburg*, a film tracing the deep distilling heritage of Anderson County — and they brought a very special bottle back from the event to kick things off. Drew also shares details about his ongoing research into the early history of bourbon, including a new book project that he is releasing chapter by chapter on his podcast as he writes it, inviting listener feedback in real time. On the Tasting Mat: - WH McBrayer 250th Special Edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey: A limited release of only 1,776 bottles celebrating 250 years of the McBrayer legacy. Bottled at 105 proof from a blend of 11 barrels aged five to seven years, using the distinctive Bloody Butcher corn mash bill (88.4% Bloody Butcher corn, 5.8% Heritage Rye, 5.8% Malted Barley). The nose opens with stone fruits — pear and apple — alongside a well-aged grain character and a light mint note. The palate is full and lingering, leaning sweet upfront before drying out with oak, rye spice, and cinnamon on the finish. MSRP $100, available at select Northern Kentucky retailers and at Bourbon on the Bank. *(00:01:58)* - Hard Truth Double Oak Sweet Mash Bourbon: A limited release from Hard Truth Distilling Co. in Nashville, Indiana, bottled at 106.1 proof. Made from a mash bill of 73% corn, 19% rye, and 8% malted barley, this expression undergoes a secondary aging of over one year in a second custom-char new American oak barrel. Only 28 barrels were produced. The nose is relatively subdued with mild herbal notes, but the palate delivers a rich, concentrated punch of sweetness backed by dark fruits, graham cracker, toasted granola, and a bitter dark chocolate finish with hints of cola. The secondary barrel adds sweetness without overwhelming the whiskey with char or marshmallow notes. MSRP approximately $60. *(00:17:30)* - Bardstown Bourbon Company Victoria Pineapple Barrel Finish: A finished American whiskey blending 10- and 11-year-old straight bourbon and rye, aged 27 months in rum casks that previously held premium rum aged with prized Victoria Pineapple — with fresh pineapple also added directly to the barrel during finishing. Bottled at 106.1 proof and available only in Kentucky. MSRP $140 for a 750ml. The nose is immediately tropical and warming, with grilled pineapple and a gentle burn. The palate is lush and syrupy-sweet — not quite cloying — with a mouthfeel that lingers, layers of tropical fruit, and just enough rye spice and dark cherry emerging on subsequent sips. The panel agreed this pours like a cocktail in a glass, with strong potential as a highball or warm-weather sipper. *(00:30:00)* - Potter Jane Big Fat Liar Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey: The first aged whiskey release from Potter Jane Distilling Company in Springfield, Kentucky, founded by industry veterans Denny Potter and Jane Bowie. The name playfully references their earlier vow never to source whiskey — a promise this bottle good-naturedly breaks. Aged six years, vatted for seven months in American and French oak casks, and bottled at 109.4 proof. Limited to approximately 1,200 bottles, released during Kentucky Bourbon Week. MSRP $49.99. The nose is light and classic, with vanilla, a touch of apple, and a hint of citrus. The palate is well-balanced and viscous, with a sweet sizzle on entry, apple cobbler, restrained dark chocolate, and a quiet coffee-bean note on the finish. Crushable and approachable at proof, with nothing out of place. *(00:33:26)* Four bottles, four personalities, one memorable evening in Kentucky bourbon country. Whether you caught the *Spirit of Lawrenceburg* premiere or are just tuning in for the whiskey, this episode covers the spectrum from heritage grain bourbons to tropical barrel experiments — all in a tight proof band that made for a genuinely competitive tasting mat.

"What if the answer to your prayer is… you? In this message from our Dangerous Prayers series, we look at Jesus' words in Matthew 9: “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.” Through story after story, we see Jesus looking at people with deep compassion—not judgment—and inviting His followers to do the same. The problem isn't that people need to be more ready for Jesus. The problem is that we need to be more ready to be Jesus to the people around us. The fields are ripe. People in our neighborhoods, workplaces, schools, families, and everyday routines need to experience the love, mercy, and grace of Jesus. So when we pray for God to send workers into the harvest, we need to be prepared for His answer: “Send me.” Are you ready to pray this dangerous prayer? Lord of the harvest, send out workers—because Frankfort is ripe for harvest. Send me." Ben Webb, Lead Minister

Getting a 1906 house on East Main open as a private club took roughly four hours of public hearing, a year and a half of untangling restrictions nobody caught at closing, and about twelve business plans before one penciled.In this episode, Tyler Bromagen - a partner in Camel Club at 509 E. Main St. and the developer of The Ashbrook Hotel in Frankfort - joins us to walk through what adaptive reuse actually costs in time.We cover his first flip on Mockingbird Lane, the construction company that failed by chasing revenue instead of margin, and the point between roughly ten and thirty rental units where you can neither self-manage nor afford staff. Then the two historic projects: the Qualified Opportunity Zone fund and federal historic tax credits that made the Ashbrook financeable and added about eighteen months, the 500 photographs he printed and hand-labeled for the National Park Service because it wouldn't take digital submissions, and the three months the project sat while historic review said not to touch the plaster and fire code said to sprinkle the building. He also explains how Camel Club's programming - a four-city Kentucky Peach Week, an immersive film-dinner series - came out of staff emails rather than a plan.If you've walked past an empty historic building in Lexington and wondered why nothing is happening to it, this is a fairly complete answer.Bromagen is an owner of Camel Club and The Ashbrook Hotel and holds residential rental property in Lexington and Frankfort.

Welcome back to The Bourbon Road, recorded live at the Bourbon Road Bar in Simpsonville, Kentucky. Hosts Jim Shannon and Todd settle in for a double-barrel recording day — two episodes back to back — and they've dedicated this session entirely to finished whiskeys. Four bottles make it to the mat tonight, each one showcasing a different finishing technique: rum barrels, French and Appalachian oak staves, honey-coated barrels, and maple syrup casks. It is a sweet, sessionable lineup that ranges from 101 to 110 proof, proving that finished whiskeys can be approachable without sacrificing character. On the Tasting Mat: - Wheel Horse Double Mash Whiskey, Finished in Caribbean Rum Barrels (101 proof): A limited-edition blend of Green River Straight Bourbon (70% corn, 21% rye, 9% malted barley) and Straight Rye (95.5% rye), each aged a minimum of five years and then finished for up to two years in three styles of Caribbean rum barrels. Distilled at Latitude Spirits (Green River), MSRP $45. The nose opens with molasses, leather, and cooked brown sugar — rich but not heavy. On the palate it delivers a sweet, easy-drinking profile with a noticeable rye bite and a finish that runs a little shy. An excellent candidate for cocktails, highballs, or a few cubes. *(00:03:20)* - Gypsy Explorer Straight Bourbon, Finished with French and Appalachian Oak Staves (103 proof): The inaugural release in the Explorer series from Eric Church's Gypsy brand. A blend of two six-year-old bourbons — a low-rye Kentucky distillate (sweetness-forward) and a high-rye Indiana distillate (spice-forward) — yielding a combined mash bill of 66% corn, 30% rye, and 4% malted barley, reduced to 103 proof and then finished with staves sourced from the forests of Tronçais, France, and the Appalachian Mountains. MSRP $69.99. The nose is standout: rich, layered, and inviting. The palate softens dramatically into buttery Danish butter cookie territory, with dried apricots, honey, pistachios, and a baklava-like sweetness. Vanilla from the French oak weaves throughout. Approachable enough for any drinker, complex enough to contemplate neat. *(00:10:03)* - Pursuit x Meat Church Honey Hog Barrel Bourbon (105 proof): A limited-edition collaboration between Pursuit Spirits and Matt Pittman's Meat Church BBQ, designed as a tabletop companion to smoked meats. The blend combines Kentucky (78% corn, 10% rye, 12% malted barley) and Tennessee (80% corn, 10% rye, 10% malted barley) straight bourbons. Finishing involved coating barrels with over 55 gallons of Texas wildflower honey sourced from Burleson's Honey in Waxahachie, Texas. 105 proof, MSRP $79.99 for a 700 ml bottle, primarily available through the Pursuit P Club and the Pursuit Louisville location. The nose is sweet, floral, and unmistakably wildflower honey. The palate follows suit with a large honey presence alongside classic bourbon caramel — forward and sweet. A natural companion for the grill or as a warm-weather sipper. *(00:23:50)* - Short Barrel Sapsquatch Straight Bourbon, Finished in Maple Syrup Barrels (110 proof): Short Barrel's maple-forward annual release begins with a blend of Kentucky (70% corn, 21% rye, 9% malted barley, aged 6–8 years) and Indiana (75% corn, 21% rye, 4% malted barley, aged 6–8 years) bourbons. Unusually, the whiskey first conditions in stainless steel with sugar maple fusion spirals for six to eight weeks, building a foundation of maple depth and caramelized sugar before ever entering a finishing barrel. It then moves into Kelvin Cooperage toasted barrels that previously held maple syrup sourced from Vermont and Ohio. 110 proof, MSRP $89.99. The nose is dark and maple-rich but measured — not syrup-bomb territory. On the palate: whole-grain pancakes, warm butter, caramelized sugar, and toasted marshmallow, with the maple remaining present but disciplined. Notably, the finish pivots away from sweetness toward toasted oak, giving the whiskey structure and length. *(00:36:01)* Whether you're a fan of rum-influenced blends, buttery French oak, honey-laced barbecue whiskeys, or maple-driven dessert drams, this episode has something to satisfy every sweet tooth on the tasting mat. Jim and Todd also remind listeners about the upcoming Sample Soirée on August 22nd at the Corner Rick House in Frankfort, Kentucky — home of the Frankfort Bourbon Society — where all those accumulated sample bottles finally get cracked open for the roadies.

Denise Salem, Oncology Chaplain at Riverside Healthcare, explains how pastoral care adds an extra layer of support alongside medical treatment by providing a listening presence, spiritual resources when wanted, and practical help for families and staff. She describes outpatient chaplain visits at the Riverside Cancer Institute and infusion clinics in Bourbonnais, Watseka, Frankfort, and Coal City; the non‑proselytizing, faith‑inclusive nature of chaplaincy; and common issues addressed—including fear of the unknown, guilt, loneliness, and the modern problem of “cancer ghosting.” Salem shares examples of how caregivers and friends can show up—daily texts, group devotions, or small creative gestures—how chaplains help patients identify reasons to hope (trusted medical teams, future milestones), and why adaptability and meeting patients where they are are central to effective pastoral care.

The Hidden Investment Risks Pre-Retirees and Retirees Don’t See Coming: Kentucky Retirement Planning Insights Are you approaching retirement and concerned about protecting your life savings from market volatility? In this comprehensive episode of the Tom Dupree Show, Kentucky retirement planning advisors Tom Dupree and Mike Johnson explore the multidimensional nature of investment risk and why personalized investment management is essential for pre-retirees aged 50-65. Unlike mass-market approaches from large firms, Dupree Financial Group provides direct access to portfolio managers who understand your specific retirement goals and risk tolerance. This evergreen financial education episode delivers timeless wisdom on risk assessment, portfolio protection strategies, and why understanding what you own is critical before retirement. Whether you’re working with a local financial advisor in Kentucky or managing investments on your own, these insights will help you make more informed decisions about your retirement security. Key Takeaways: Investment Risk Management for Pre-Retirees Risk is multidimensional: Investment risk extends beyond simple volatility—it includes sequence of returns risk, concentration risk, and the risk of falling short of your retirement goals The Capital Asset Pricing Model misconception: More risk doesn’t automatically mean more return; it means a wider range of potential outcomes, both positive and negative The danger of false security: Long periods of strong returns can create complacency, causing investors to unknowingly take on excessive risk right before retirement Personalized portfolio analysis matters: Your investment strategy must align with your specific retirement timeline, income needs, and risk capacity—not just market averages Understanding beats panic: Clients who truly understand their portfolio holdings don’t panic during market downturns because they know their strategy is designed for their goals Active risk identification: Professional Kentucky retirement planning involves continuously identifying and monitoring specific risks to each holding, not just following the crowd Howard Marks on Investment Risk: Wisdom from a Market Legend The episode draws heavily from Howard Marks’ influential 2006 memo on risk, which Tom and Mike have studied extensively. Marks, co-founder of Oaktree Capital Management, challenges conventional thinking about risk and return relationships. “If more risk always meant more return, it would cease being risky. The risk would be riskless,” explains Mike Johnson, highlighting the fundamental misunderstanding many investors have about the risk-return relationship. The discussion emphasizes that bearing risk unknowingly represents one of the biggest mistakes pre-retirees can make. This is particularly relevant for those who have experienced strong market performance for years without understanding the volatility embedded in their portfolios. The Real-World Cost of Ignoring Investment Risk Tom Dupree shares a cautionary tale that every pre-retiree should hear: “There was a man that came to me years ago who had been at UK for a number of years. He had invested in Fidelity and TIAA-CREF, good funds, great returns. He had something like 1,000,006 and he had averaged 13 and a quarter percent return per year for like 23 years. He extrapolated that he could take 10% a year, which was $160,000, live on it and be okay because it was gonna keep doing that. The sequence of returns turned around and bit him good.” This example perfectly illustrates sequence of returns risk—a critical concept for anyone approaching retirement. Even with excellent average returns, the timing of market downturns relative to when you need to withdraw funds can devastate a retirement plan. This is why personalized investment management from a local financial advisor who understands your specific timeline is so valuable. Why Volatility Isn’t the Only Risk Pre-Retirees Face The episode challenges the traditional definition of investment risk as merely volatility. For pre-retirees and retirees specifically, Mike Johnson explains: “The base case that we’re trying to solve here? We’re speaking specifically to near retirees and retirees. Volatility is gonna be your friend or your foe the day you need to take your money out. That’s gonna be your definition of risk—what has the volatility done to my money the day I need it.” Additional Risk Dimensions for Kentucky Retirement Planning Falling short of goals: The risk that your portfolio won’t produce sufficient income for your desired retirement lifestyle Concentration risk: Over-exposure to single stocks or sectors, especially common with company stock or recent tech winners Unconventionality risk: The professional risk advisors take when thinking independently rather than following the crowd—but this can benefit clients long-term Underperformance risk: Short-term underperformance relative to indices, which requires conviction in your strategy and understanding your goals Hidden risk exposure: Unknown risks embedded in portfolios, particularly index funds that provide no true diversification strategy The False Sense of Security: Why Long Bull Markets Are Dangerous One of the most powerful concepts discussed is how prolonged positive market performance can numb investors to risk—exactly when they should be most vigilant. Mike Johnson references Nassim Taleb’s “Fooled by Randomness” to illustrate this danger: “Reality’s far more vicious than Russian roulette. First, it delivers the fatal bullet rather infrequently, like a revolver that would have hundreds or even thousands of rounds instead of six. After a few dozen tries, one forgets about the existence of a bullet under a numbing false sense of security. One is thus capable of unwittingly playing Russian roulette and calling it by something alternative: low risk.” This perfectly describes the situation many pre-retirees face today after years of strong market performance. The analogy to driving at 90 mph—where you stop feeling the speed—resonates powerfully. You’re taking significant risk, but you’ve become accustomed to it and no longer perceive the danger. Direct Access to Portfolio Managers: The Dupree Financial Difference Unlike large firms where you’re assigned an investment counselor who may change frequently, Dupree Financial Group provides direct access to portfolio managers Tom Dupree and Mike Johnson. This relationship-focused approach enables: Deep understanding of your specific retirement timeline and goals Customized portfolio construction based on your unique risk capacity Ongoing education about what you own and why you own it Proactive risk identification specific to your holdings The ability to think unconventionally when it serves your interests “When our clients understand what’s in their portfolio and why, they don’t call us panicking when the market drops,” Tom Dupree emphasizes, highlighting the value of education and transparency in financial relationships. Why Index Funds Aren’t a Complete Investment Strategy The episode delivers a sobering message about the limitations of index fund investing for retirees: “If you don’t like risk and you think that you’re not taking any risk by investing in the S&P 500, sweetie pie, you need to get in the money market fund and just hope you got enough money to ride through it because you are taking risk that you don’t know about. And that is a problem because you’re gonna find it out in a very uncomfortable way at some point.” This doesn’t mean index funds have no place in portfolios, but rather that they shouldn’t be confused with a comprehensive retirement income strategy. Personalized portfolio analysis considers: Your specific income needs in retirement Time horizon until you need to access funds Concentration risk in popular stocks or sectors The difference between the accumulation and distribution phases Tax efficiency of different investment approaches Building a Foundation: From Stocks to Portfolio For younger investors just starting out, Mike Johnson offers this perspective: “If somebody’s in their late twenties, early thirties and they have a few stocks here and there, that’s great. You’re ahead of the curve from a lot of people, but that is not a portfolio. What you want to do is lay a foundation that’s more sturdy, more solid than just having a few stocks here and there.” This guidance is equally relevant for pre-retirees who may have accumulated individual positions over time without a cohesive strategy. Kentucky retirement planning requires transitioning from an accumulation mindset to a distribution strategy—and that requires professional portfolio architecture. The Retirement Risk Equation: It’s About Income, Not Just Account Balance One of the most important insights for pre-retirees: “Remember, it’s not just the accumulation, it’s not the dollar amount, it’s what it’s gonna produce for you and how long can it produce that to sustain you. Retirement has the normal set of rules plus other variables that you have to take into consideration.” This shift in perspective—from portfolio value to sustainable income—is where personalized investment management becomes critical. Every individual’s situation differs slightly, and those differences matter enormously in retirement planning. Faith, Risk, and Investment Philosophy Tom Dupree introduces an often-overlooked dimension of investment risk: the role of faith. Not just faith in markets or historical returns, but a deeper consideration of existential risk and what you ultimately trust. “Underpinning any investment scheme is faith. At the base of everything related to risk is faith. You cannot get away from it. One of the things about the God factor is that it takes certain elements of risk that you’re willing to take on for yourself and transfers them to a higher power.” While this dimension is personal and not emphasized in typical financial planning, it reflects Dupree Financial Group’s holistic approach to understanding clients as people—not just portfolios. Frequently Asked Questions About Investment Risk and Retirement Planning What is the biggest investment risk for pre-retirees? The biggest risk for pre-retirees is sequence-of-returns risk—experiencing market downturns just as you begin withdrawing from your portfolio. Even with strong average returns over time, poor returns in the years immediately before and after retirement can devastate your retirement security. This is why personalized retirement planning in Kentucky focuses on more than just average returns. How is investment risk different for retirees versus younger investors? For retirees, risk is primarily defined by volatility’s impact on withdrawals. When you need to take money out during a market downturn, you crystallize losses and reduce your portfolio’s recovery potential. Younger investors have time to recover from volatility. As Tom Dupree explains, “Volatility is gonna be your friend or your foe the day you need to take your money out.” Are index funds safe for retirement portfolios? Index funds are not inherently “safe” for retirement—they carry significant volatility and concentration risks (especially in large-cap tech stocks right now). While they can be part of a retirement strategy, they should not be confused with a comprehensive income plan. Local financial advisors can help design strategies that balance growth needs with income stability. How much can I safely withdraw from my retirement portfolio annually? There’s no universal answer—withdrawal rates depend on your portfolio composition, risk tolerance, retirement timeline, and income needs. The gentleman in Tom’s example assumed 10% annual withdrawals based on historical 13.25% returns, which proved disastrous. Personalized portfolio analysis determines sustainable withdrawal rates specific to your situation. Why should I work with a local Kentucky financial advisor instead of a large national firm? Local advisors like Dupree Financial Group provide direct access to portfolio managers who personally manage your investments, rather than being assigned to a counselor who may change. You receive personalized service, education about your holdings, and strategies tailored to your specific goals—not mass-market approaches. Tom emphasizes: “When our clients understand what’s in their portfolio and why, they don’t call us panicking when the market drops.” What does it mean to “know what you own” in my portfolio? Knowing what you own means understanding not just the names of your holdings, but the specific risks each position carries, how they work together, and why each was selected for your situation. It means knowing what could go wrong with each investment and having conviction in your overall strategy during market volatility. How often should I review my retirement portfolio risk? Pre-retirees should review portfolio risk at least annually, and more frequently as retirement approaches. Risk tolerance, time horizon, and income needs change as you near retirement. Kentucky retirement planning professionals continuously monitor holdings for emerging risks and rebalance as needed. What is concentration risk, and why does it matter? Concentration risk occurs when your portfolio has too much exposure to a single stock, sector, or asset class. Many investors have unknowingly accumulated concentration in large technology stocks through both index funds and individual holdings. If that sector declines, your entire portfolio suffers disproportionately. Diversification addresses concentration risk. How do I know if I’m taking too much risk before retirement? Signs you may have excessive risk include: heavy concentration in stocks after years of strong returns, high portfolio volatility relative to your withdrawal timeline, lack of income-producing assets, or simply not understanding what you own.

Long before Bourbon became synonymous with Bardstown and Frankfort, Lawrenceburg was home to a network of distillers whose names helped shape the industry itself.

In this episode, Drew Hannush talks with filmmaker Bo Cumberland and Stone Fences Tours co-founder Jerry Daniels about their new documentary, Spirits of Lawrenceburg: A Bourbon Legacy Forged Through Time, and why one of Bourbon's most influential communities deserves to be remembered. In This Episode • Why Lawrenceburg became one of the cradles of Bourbon • The forgotten names behind familiar brands • Old Joe Peyton and the rise of Old Joe Distillery • How distilling families became intertwined • Why the Ripys reached far beyond Wild Turkey • Lost distilleries hidden beneath modern landscapes • Oral tradition and the challenge of preserving history • How a documentary brings vanished places back to life • Why Lawrenceburg still matters to Bourbon today Find show notes and transcripts at whiskeylore.org/interviews

Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter are back at the Corner Rickhouse in Frankfort, Kentucky, just down the road from Buffalo Trace, settling in for a heritage distillery tasting that spans from the hills of Lynchburg, Tennessee, all the way through the heart of Kentucky bourbon country. The guys kick off with the latest annual drops from Jack Daniel's before crossing the state line to visit some of the storied names that built American whiskey into what it is today. Along the way, Jim and Todd also chat about the swirling acquisition rumors surrounding Brown-Forman, the upcoming 250th anniversary of the United States, and what it means for a legacy brand to stay independent. On the Tasting Mat: - **Jack Daniel's 10 Year Old Batch 5 (2026):** The newest annual release of Jack's decade-aged Tennessee whiskey, bottled at 97 proof with an 80/12/8 corn-rye-malt mash bill. The nose opens with inviting molasses, banana candy, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a hint of chocolate alongside a light leather note. On the palate it delivers warmth well above its sub-100 proof, with brown sugar, candy cherry, and a lingering spice-driven finish. *(00:01:48)* - Jack Daniel's 12 Year Old Batch 4 (2026): The 12-year step-up in the Tennessee Heritage series, clocking in at 107 proof. The nose is more muted than its younger sibling but shifts toward darker fruit — raisins, black cherries, and molasses. The palate moves away from the lighter candy notes into a drier, more structured profile with bitter chocolate, dried cranberry, and a savory, slightly green mid-palate character. *(00:09:35)* - Knob Creek Blender's Edition 01 — Sweet Bourbon Blend: The first installment in a new Knob Creek blending series, this 10-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon is bottled at 106 proof and retails for around $45. The nose leans into vanilla and light Rick house funk rather than the brand's signature nuttiness. The palate follows with a light, vanilla-forward profile featuring cake batter sweetness and confectionary notes — a deliberate stylistic departure aimed at accessibility. *(00:14:35)* - Maker's Mark Wood Finishing Series — Steward's Release: The third entry in Maker's Mark's five-part Wood Finishing Series, finished on 10 toasted American oak staves and bottled at approximately 109.8 proof for around $75–$80. The nose is richly expressive — cherry pie filling, baking spices, cinnamon, and caramel. The palate delivers vanilla custard, honey, chocolate, cardamom, allspice, stone fruit, and a savory oak note on the back end. *(00:26:41)* - Evan Williams America 250th Commemorative Edition Single Barrel (Barrel #233): A special single barrel release bottled at the patriotically meaningful 117.76 proof to honor the nation's 250th birthday. Barrel #233 was laid down December 15, 2018 and bottled March 2, 2026 — just over eight years of maturation. The nose features toasted caramel, peanut shell, oak, and dark berries. The palate is rich and layered with peach, berry, sweet oak, and a long finish, all for a remarkable $45 retail price. *(00:31:15)* Jim and Todd wrap up with a ranking of all five pours, debating heritage versus innovation across some of American whiskey's most iconic names. Whether you're a longtime fan of the Tennessee tradition or a Kentucky bourbon devotee, this episode offers a wide-ranging tour through the legacies that built the brown water world we know today.

She had always been close to her grandfather. Even after his death, she still found comfort visiting his grave—talking to him the same way she always had.On one difficult day, she decided to drive out to the cemetery in Frankfort, Kentucky. Something felt off almost immediately. The drive felt wrong. The calm she usually found never came. And as she approached the cemetery entrance, a sudden resistance took over—an overwhelming sense that she wasn't supposed to be there.It wasn't fear. It was certainty.A clear, insistent message repeated itself until she finally listened and turned away. The moment she did, the feeling lifted. Later that day, she learned why.#RealGhostStoriesOnline #ParanormalWarning #AfterDeathCommunication #Intuition #GuardianSpirit #Unexplained #TrueGhostStory #CemeteryEncounter #ListeningToTheUnknown #ParanormalPodcast #ListenerStories Love real ghost stories?
