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.

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 .

Hosts Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter, connecting remotely from Colorado and Kentucky respectively, discuss recent happenings in the bourbon world and taste a couple of whiskies. Jim is in Colorado Springs for a Derby party, having flown out of Louisville on Derby Day. He mentions winning an exacta on the Derby race. He is sipping on Woodford Reserve Distiller's Select 90.4 proof, the annual Derby bottle, describing it as a traditional Woodford. He notes that at the Derby party, they were making mint juleps with Evan Williams Bottled-in-Bond, and while not his favorite drink, he partook. He even helped make the simple syrup. Todd is drinking Penelope Architect, the third in their series. It's a straight bourbon whiskey sourced from MGP, finished in French oak staves, bottled at 104 proof, and retails around $65. Todd finds it nice, noting the MGP cherry character and a "funky oak" from the French staves. They discuss Lost Lantern's new monthly subscription service, which recently launched after they had previously speculated about something similar. The service costs $90 a month plus shipping for a different bottle each month, special sign-up bottles, behind-the-scenes stories, exclusive events, virtual tastings, and early access to new releases. News from Buffalo Trace includes an announcement that they are adding an EH Taylor bottled-in-bond to the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection (BTAC). They speculate it will be a well-aged version and note that some EH Taylor bottles already fetch prices similar to BTAC on the secondary market. They express hope that these will be findable, perhaps requiring waiting in line as in past years. Other news includes the release of the new Wild Turkey 8-year 101, which is starting to hit shelves at an MSRP of $49. They note that 8 years is the minimum age, and it could contain older stock. They are looking forward to reviewing it and comparing it to the 70th-anniversary release. Whiskey Thief has released their 2025 Mayday Rye, a 7-year-old, 146 proof (hazmat) rye. It's available at their distillery in Frankfort and their new tasting room in Louisville, and they are now shipping to some states. The hosts praise Whiskey Thief's ryes. Jim mentions an upcoming interview and tour at Law's Whiskey House in Denver during his Colorado trip. He notes Law's has established itself as a pioneer in Colorado whiskey, particularly with their bottled-in-bond and American single malts. Jim's second pour is the 291 Colorado Rye Whiskey finished in Aspen wood staves and maple syrup barrels, the "M" release, at 122 proof. He finds it has a great maple sweetness and notes that 291 whiskies are generally easy to identify due to their unique profile. He mentions his son recently volunteered bottling and labeling at 291, noting things are going well for the distillery. Todd's second pour is Pikesville Straight Rye from Heaven Hill, 110 proof and 6 years old, retailing around $50. He considers it a classic and a great value rye. He recalls being introduced to it during an interview with Bernie Lubbers at the Evan Williams Experience. They briefly discuss the Heaven Hill rye mashbill used for Rittenhouse and Elijah Craig Ryes, noting different proofs and ages. They talk about recent trends, including the rise of ready-to-drink (RTD) cocktails, which are exploding in popularity, especially with younger consumers. They mention that the largest distillery in the US is now producing White Claw. While neither host is personally a big fan of seltzers or most RTDs, they acknowledge the market demand and hope bourbon is well-represented in this category. They also discuss the growing trend of THC-infused beverages, noting that hemp-derived THC under 0.3% by weight is federally legal. They express confusion about the health claims and draw parallels to the initial marketing of vaping as a safe alternative to cigarettes. They mention a recent barrel pick they did at James E. Pepper Distillery in Lexington for Bourbon on the Banks. They tasted three barrels and selected a bourbon, choosing one they felt would appeal more broadly, although they personally favored another with a great nose (vanilla icing, cake batter). They highlight the historical tour at James E. Pepper, discussing the distillery's long history and the role of James E. Pepper's wife. They note they also tried an excellent rye there aged 7-8 years. They discuss the recent move of RD1 Spirits to a new location and Macaulay Minton's Dark Arts moving into the old RD1 space, noting Macaulay's unique tastes and the interesting decor. They mention Sarah Algrim joining Macaulay. Beau Cumberland's Frankfurt Bourbon documentary is highlighted, with an upcoming screening on Friday, June 13th at The Foundry in Frankfurt, kicking off Bourbon Week. The screening is donation-based, with proceeds going to Frankfurt flood victims. Todd is the narrator for the documentary and receives praise from Jim for his narration skills. They hope to make the documentary more widely available in the future. Jim mentions researching a historical Shannon distillery in Shelbyville from the early 1800s. They recommend Beau Cumberland's YouTube page for short interviews and mini-docs on American spirits. Jim concludes by noting the pleasant "chest hug" from the 291 rye and acknowledging the late hour for Todd. Todd mentions a busy day with his son's soccer game. They wrap up the episode, encouraging listeners to find The Bourbon Road on social media and subscribe to the podcast.

Episode 572: Adam Banks Talks about the following topics in this episode:1. Interview with Hybrid The Rapper 2. The Most Precious thing in the World to Adam Hybrid's Bio:I first started doing music in the mid to late 90's in my hometown of Frankfort, Ky, mainly stealing other rappers B side instrumentals and rapping over them through a boombox and karaoke machine alongside of my crew of friends. Soon it developed into making my own beats and learning how to engineer/record. The longing to do so came from being such a diehard fan of Hip Hop in it's golden era. I formed a rap group (Baement Upstairs) with several of my friends, rigged together a makeshift studio and started my own independent label (Dubtape Records) . From grassroots promoting, hosting and booking events & shows, cutting albums, collaborating with singers, producers, rappers and musicians, freestyling at parties, rap battles, creating music videos, learning equipment to starting more projects (Embercast, Juxtapoze) and dabbling in experimental types of rap/rock and other types of music the next 20 years I submerged myself into the world of being an independent artist. Leaving no facet untouched or unexplored. Now years later, I have an immense catalog in my archives of over 50 albums, including my solo music and collaborative efforts. I can honestly say the experience has been an awesome adventure. Not only doing it but breaking out of the box and my own shell and being more than just another rapper. I coined the name “Hybrid” years ago because I felt that my taste in music was a blend of influence and genre so naturally my art became that as well. A mixture of tones, emotions, styles, fashion, singing, rapping, poetry, audio/visual, ups and downs, love and pain, etc. I fell throughout my career I played different roles, characters and archetypes but yet were always somehow still just me, that same old scrawny teenager that fell in love with making music years ago.https://hybridtherapper.net/homeFollow OFF THE CUFF WITH ADAM BANKS:FB: @offthecuffwithadambanksIG:@offthecuffwithadambanksTwitter:@theadambanksIG:@theadambanksSubscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube!**and all other major podcasting platforms**http://linktr.ee/offthecuffwithadambanks

UPCOMING EVENT: Access Louisville Live presented by Baird. Be on hand for a live recording of the Access Louisville podcast April 22. Details and registration here.Sometimes Mother Nature just has our number — and that's certainly been true so far in 2025. On this week's Access Louisville podcast we discuss the loss of Thunder Over Louisville — which is being canceled this year because of flooding. On a normal Thunder, about half a million people line the banks of both sides of the river. Kentucky Derby Festival pegs the Thunder economic impact at more than $120 million, while Louisville Tourism charts it at $10 million. A Louisville Tourism spokesperson detailed that their number only accounts for direct economic impact (and excluding things like sponsorship or advertising dollars or TV rights).On this week's show, we also discuss how the flooding has impacted businesses including The Galt House, Captains Quarters and Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort.After the flooding talk, we discuss work beginning on a project at the Kentucky Expo Center. Crews will begin demolishing parts of the existing center, including Newmarket Hall. The cleared space will pave the way for Phase I of the project, which is a new 350,000-square-foot multipurpose building designed to expand and redefine event capabilities at the facility.  Additionally, we chat about Louisville Metro Government taking preliminary steps to restore Louisville Gardens. The city is planning to do exterior demolition around the entrance of the building at 525 W. Muhammad Ali Blvd. And, lastly, Reporter Stephen P. Schmidt is on the show to discuss the latest on how tariffs will affect Kentucky's signature bourbon industry. Tariffs were causing wild fluctuations on Wall Street this week. But they're also something the bourbon industry has been talking about for far longer, including at LBF's recent Bourbonomics event.Access Louisville, sponsored by Baird, is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First. It's available on popular podcast services including Apple Podcasts and Spotify (which are linked above.)

Flood victims question whether they will get the help they need once the water recedes, historic Buffalo Trace Distillery hoping to reopen soon after floodwaters pour into its Frankfort facility, and Lexington exhibit bringing a new understanding to the concept of Nation Building.

We're shining a spotlight on one of the top contenders from the Coolest Thing Made in Kentucky tournament this year—Brown-Forman's Woodford Reserve Double Double Oaked!

Officials say even though the floodwaters in Frankfort are starting to go down, conditions in the city remain dangerous, Versailles Municipal Utilities shuts down intake from the Kentucky River due to flooding and safety concerns, and a USDA program that helped get fresh, local food into Kentucky school cafeterias will soon come to an end.

In this Coolest Thing Made in Kentucky spotlight, we're featuring National Band & Tag Company and their innovative Paw Finders Tag—a game-changer for lost pet recovery!

Welcome to another episode of Built in the Bluegrass, where we highlight the most innovative and exciting products made right here in Kentucky!

Laela Kashan is Louisville-based Director of Regional Advocacy and Engagement for the Kentucky Nonprofit Network and works locally for the Louisville Nonprofit Coalition, as well as parts of Western Kentucky. Her mission is to build grassroots nonprofit coalitions, both locally and regionally, to provide training, resources and support for these groups and to advocate in Frankfort for Kentucky's charitable organizations. At a time when the push federally is to privatize nonprofit and government sectors, as well as withdraw federal funding from any 501(c)3 charitable organizations that are deemed to include DEI language, it behooves us to learn more about how these folks are helping vulnerable humans, animals and habitats.

Lawmakers advance a bill eliminating DEI at Kentucky's public colleges, attach an abortion-related measure onto a freestanding birthing center bill, make repeated disruptions of a legislative proceeding a felony, and pass a watered-down ban on cell phones in schools. 

Lawmakers pass a bill aimed at transgender inmates, schools that have missed lots of days stand to gain some relief, an amendment is added to a bill requiring a moment of silence in school, Gov. Beshear discusses tariffs on CNN, UK is named in a federal Dept. of Education investigation, and a big weekend for sports in the Commonwealth. 

Journalists from around the state discuss the news of the week with host Bill Bryant, including several bills passed by the House and Senate during the General Assembly. Guests: Jess Clark, Kentucky Center for Investigative Reporting; Mario Anderson, Spectrum News 1; and Tessa Duvall, Lexington Herald-Leader.

Listen to our continuing coverage of the 'Stand Up For Science' rally held at the state capital in Frankfort, KY on Friday, March 7, 2025.

Whether it's the grind of the General Assembly Session or the fact that the SEC doesn't know how to schedule and UK finished playing at nearly 2 AM, the KPW crew is tired. But the show must go on. We've got a look of the week that was in Frankfort, UK not teaching students about tariffs, and a summary of Bologna-gate.

We discuss several of the over 1,000 bills that have been filed as the Kentucky General Assembly heads into two days of Concurrence before the gubernatorial veto window starts on Saturday. https://legislature.ky.gov Hosted by Roberto Henriquez and Ann Dickerson

A bill that could give lawmakers more discretion when it comes to lowering Kentucky's income tax is swiftly moving through Frankfort, a measure to combat anti-semitism on college campuses advances despite some pushback, meet the youngest lawmaker in the state legislature, Murray State University announces its next president, and why President Trump wants someone to run against a Kentucky Congressman.

Renee Shaw hosts a discussion with State Rep. Scott Lewis (R), Chair of the House Primary and Secondary Education Committee; State Rep. Tina Bojanowski (D), member of the House Primary and Secondary Education Committee; State Sen. Stephen West (R), chair of the Senate Education Committee; and State Sen. Reginald Thomas (D), Senate Minority Caucus Chair and member of the Senate Education Committee.

As in 31 other cities, there was a 'Stand Up For Science' rally held at the state capital in Frankfort, KY on Friday, March 7, 2025. There were hundreds of researchers, students, doctors, teachers and science-supporters there, all expressing concern for the state of science. Since becoming president, Donald Trump has tried to cut billions of dollars from current research projects, paused communications to the public from federal health and environmental agencies, terminated DEI initiatives, nominated anti-science cabinet members, and withdrew from the 2015 international Paris climate agreement. On today's show you can hear the first three speakers from the Frankfort rally. Other speakers will be featured on our show next week.

In this episode of Elizabethtown.A.I., we dive into Give 270's latest 20/20 Unicorn raffle, featuring a truly one-of-a-kind prize: a rare 1986 Blanton's Frankfort Bicentennial 200 bottle. Released to commemorate Frankfort's bicentennial, this historic bourbon is one of the earliest special releases of Blanton's and is unlike any other. We'll break down what makes this bottle so unique, how you can get in on the action, and the impact Give 270 continues to have in central Kentucky. Tune in as we talk bourbon, philanthropy, and the excitement of this can't-miss giveaway! SOURCE DOCUMENT:Give 270 to give away rare 1986 Blanton's Frankfort Bicentennial 200 bottleELIZABETHTOWN, Ky. (March 5, 2025) – Give 270, an Elizabethtown nonprofit, has announced that a rare bottle of Blanton's: Frankfort Bicentennial 200 will be the grand prize given away during their latest 20/20 Unicorn raffle, set for Wednesday, April 2. Released in 1986 to celebrate the official bicentennial of Frankfort, Kentucky, this limited-edition Blanton's was bottled at exactly 86 proof. It holds the distinction of being the earliest special release of Blanton's. In this one-time release, a unique stopper was used, featuring the Kentucky State Capitol on one side and the State of Kentucky on the other, marking the only time the classic horse and jockey design was not used. Notably, the bottle and box are free of any "Blanton's" branding. Instead, the label reads, "The Bicentennial Distilling Company, Frankfort, Kentucky." The official “Frankfort 200 Bicentennial” logo is printed on the bottle itself with no paper label. This same logo was used throughout Frankfort for its official marketing material. This release marked the first time a Blanton's bottle did not feature a paper label. Give 270's 20/20 Unicorn raffles offer $20 tickets for two chances to win from a curated selection of 20 prizes from a specific distillery, including an exceptionally rare "unicorn" prize. In addition to the grand prize, each $20 ticket purchased in this raffle offers participants a chance to win from a curated assortment of other allocated and limited release Blanton's products, including an eight-bottle multi-color set spelling “BLANTON'S,” a seven-bottle multi-color set, a Blanton's Takara Gold Derby Edition from 1999 and more. During the raffle, prizes numbered two through 20 will be drawn initially, with all tickets returning to the tumbler for an opportunity to win the grand prize. The upcoming Unicorn raffle is set to take place live on Give 270's Facebook page and YouTube channel. All proceeds will benefit Give 270's work supporting worthwhile organizations and initiatives in central Kentucky. Tickets are available for purchase until 7 p.m. on the night of the drawing and there is no limit to the number of tickets purchased per individual."We are thrilled to offer this rare and unique Blanton's Frankfort Bicentennial 200 bottle as the grand prize in our latest 20/20 Unicorn raffle," said Eric Clemens, Board Chair of Give 270. “This bottle is a true unicorn, and we're excited to offer the chance to win it while supporting important local initiatives in central Kentucky."To purchase tickets and stay up-to-date on raffles and events hosted by Give 270, visit give270.org. Photos available here

This week on The Whiskey Trip, Big Chief visits Frankfort, Kentucky, to sit down with Jeff and Cam Mattingly of J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery and Bourbon 30—where tradition is honored, craftsmanship is respected, and every bottle carries a legacy. For nearly two centuries, the Mattingly family has played a vital role in shaping the bourbon industry, their expertise spanning nine whiskey operations and countless collaborations with some of the most respected names in the business. Jeff and his son Cam continue that tradition, refining the single barrel selection process into something truly remarkable. But their work extends beyond whiskey—they are committed to giving back, donating $10 from every bottle sold to veteran organizations across the country. Their dedication to honoring those who have served is a testament to their values and the deeper meaning behind their craft. Big Chief begins the show with Bourbon 30 at 100 proof—a pour that carries rich, nutty character with a warm rye spice that lingers on the palate. He then moves to their core SKU at 116 proof, a whiskey layered with deep, dark fruit sweetness, balanced by a spice that stays with you long after the last sip. The second half of the show is a tribute to those who have sacrificed for our nation. The 82nd Airborne expression, bottled at 128 proof, is bold and unwavering—much like the paratroopers it represents. Its spice and tobacco notes command respect, a reflection of the courage and grit required to serve in one of the most demanding units in the military. To close out, Big Chief raises a glass to another military tribute—The Combat Infantry Badge, Batch 6. At 135 proof, this light whiskey is powerful yet refined, with buttery richness, seasoned oak, honey, and a touch of smoke. The finish is long and meaningful, much like the service and dedication of those it honors. This episode is more than just a whiskey tasting—it is a moment to recognize and respect the sacrifices made by our servicemen and women. As a veteran, I extend my gratitude to the Mattingly family for their commitment to both bourbon and the brave individuals who defend our freedoms. So pour a glass, take a moment to reflect, and join us for another meaningful journey on The Whiskey Trip. Cheers!
