Send us a textThe bourbon glut is over, with distilleries reporting exceptional sales and Kentucky Bourbon Festival tickets selling out in just four days rather than months.• Pandemic caused a temporary slowdown as society reopened and people returned to busier lifestyles• Political uncertainty during election year contributed to consumer hesitation• Kentucky Bourbon Festival 2025 completely sold out in four days instead of taking until August• Secondary market for allocated bottles like Weller has changed as collectors have already acquired them• Bourbon enthusiasts now seeking unique barrel picks rather than just allocated bottles• Pot still whiskeys offer different flavor profiles than column still products• French Lick Spirit distillery's William Dalton (wheated) and Lillian Sinclair (rye) showcase craft bourbon diversity• American-made whiskeys may benefit from international tariffs as consumers look localListen to our barrel picks breakdown with tasting notes on kettle corn, cherry, butterscotch, and fresh-baked bread profiles. Join us for upcoming events including a smoke wagon tasting in Youngstown on May 21st.Is the bourbon bubble really bursting? Everything you've heard about the "bourbon glut" might be completely wrong. After months of industry predictions about oversupply and waning interest, we're seeing overwhelming evidence of bourbon's resilience and continuing popularity.The Kentucky Bourbon Festival provides perhaps the clearest indicator – what normally takes until August to sell out disappeared in just four days this year. All 7,500 tickets, gone. Heaven Hill's Bernie Lubbers recently confirmed their exceptional fiscal year, and distilleries across Kentucky are reporting similar success. What many analysts missed was that last year's perceived slowdown was merely a temporary pause as society adjusted post-pandemic and navigated election year uncertainties.We dive deep into the evolution of bourbon collectors' interests, noting how the secondary market has shifted away from simply chasing allocated bottles like Weller and EH Taylor. Today's enthusiasts are increasingly drawn to unique barrel picks, innovative finishes, and craft distillery releases that offer something different. We also explore how American whiskey stands to benefit from international tariffs, potentially driving more consumers toward domestic products.The highlight of our episode is an in-depth breakdown of our barrel picks from Spirit of French Lick – the William Dalton (wheated bourbon) and Lillian Sinclair (rye bourbon). Both pot still products offer fascinating tasting notes ranging from kettle corn and cherry to baking spices and fresh bread. These selections represent master distiller Alan Bishop's final barrel picks before his departure, making them particularly special.Ready to join the continuing bourbon conversation? Listen now, and don't forget our upcoming tasting event in Youngstown on May 21st featuring our smoke wagon barrel picks. The bourbon renaissance is just getting started!

In the winter of 1779, a determined group of Appalachian settlers set out on a thousand-mile journey by river, led by Virginia surveyor John Donelson.Battling disease, starvation, ambushes, and the raw forces of nature, they pushed westward down the Holston River, into the Tennessee River, the Ohio and then up the Cumberland River, all through hostile and unknown lands.Their goal? A place called French Lick—later known as Nashville.In this episode, Steve and Rod trace the expedition that carried Appalachian grit to Middle Tennessee, laying the foundations for the city many call “The Athens of the South.”Be sure to subcribe to the Stories podcast if you haven't done so already.  You'll find us on your favorite podcast app and our YouTube channel.Thanks for listening!

What makes this tasting extraordinary is experiencing how a modest 86-proof, six-year bourbon from four decades ago delivers exceptional quality that rivals today's premium offerings.Our Old Louisville Whiskey Company Barrel Bottle Breakdown reveals a perfect 18/18 score with remarkable tasting notes: burnt caramel corn aromatics, candy-like sweetness on the palate, and a surprising maple syrup finish that lingers impressively.

Joe Roediger, COO, discussed Woodmont Country Club's extensive sustainability initiatives across two 18-hole golf courses, six indoor tennis courts, and a 100,000 sq. ft. clubhouse. The club has eliminated single-use plastic bottles, implemented autonomous gas-free mowers, and battery-powered maintenance equipment, reducing operational costs. They've also introduced native grasses for water conservation and GPS-guided sprayers for a 15% reduction in fertilizer use. LED lighting and a water recycling system have significantly cut energy and water consumption. Future goals include more autonomous mowers and solar panel implementation. Roediger emphasized empowering leaders to identify and capitalize on sustainability opportunities. Also in this episode … A short course readies for debut at an Indiana resort. The Sand Creek Course at French Lick, which features nine holes ranging between 40 and 90 yards, is set for opening day on May 1. This brings French Lick Resort to a total of 54 holes of golf resort-wide, complementing the 18-hole championship Pete Dye and Donald Ross courses and the 9-hole Valley Links. A Florida course is adding a state-of-the-art driving range and golf learning center. The new facility at Dubsdread Golf Course in Orlando, Fla., will feature 40 total bays, 36 outfitted with advanced golf technology for an interactive experience and four traditional bays. The learning center includes two private teaching bays featuring full Trackman technology for precision training and custom fitting. And a New York club wins an injured-golfer case in Court of Appeals. The New York State Court of Appeals issued a unanimous decision stating that the Cazenovia (N.Y.) Golf Club is not liable for injuries sustained by a golfer who was struck by an errant golf ball while playing the course. The victory sets a precedent that will help protect golf course businesses.

(00:00) Weekend Golf Show Banter and Tips This chapter takes us back to a previous summer episode, where we chat about the sweltering conditions in Arizona and the difference a dry heat makes compared to the humid South. We reminisce about an impressive golf experience at Calusa Pines in Florida, known for its rare elevation changes reminiscent of Pinehurst, despite Florida's typically flat terrain. We also touch on the challenges posed by the tricky Donald Ross-designed greens, like those at Pinehurst and French Lick, emphasizing how their undulating surfaces test even the best players. Highlighting Ava Bunker's recent performance at Pinehurst during the North South Junior, we explore how these notorious greens can make or break a golfer's day. (12:24) Wind and Putting Techniques This chapter explores how wind can significantly impact a golfer's putt, especially on greens with varying speeds. Starting with the basics, we examine how wind affects putts on municipal course greens rolling at a nine on the stimp meter, requiring about a two-club wind to make a difference. On faster greens rolling at a ten or more, a one-club wind is sufficient. After conducting a power school class where participants improved their ball speed and distance, we transition to understanding wind's influence on putting. Through practical demonstrations using aim point techniques, we illustrate how a two-club wind can negate the natural break of a downhill putt. By rolling balls down a ramp, we observe how gusts of wind can alter the ball's trajectory, emphasizing the need to judge wind conditions carefully. The discussion highlights the nuanced relationship between wind, ball speed, and putting strategies, particularly on downhill versus uphill putts. (24:21) Improving Golf Swing for Wind Resistance This chapter explores techniques for improving golf swings, particularly focusing on achieving a square clubface to reduce spin and enhance ball speed. We discuss how many golfers inadvertently create glancing blows due to improper form, resulting in increased spin and less control, especially in windy conditions. A practical drill using a carwash sponge is introduced, where the sound produced upon impact provides immediate feedback on the squareness of the clubface. The exercise can be enhanced by wetting the sponge or wrapping it in a towel for added resistance, helping golfers feel the power needed for a direct hit. While the drill is primarily designed for drivers due to their flat face, alternative methods for practicing with irons are also suggested. The emphasis is on experiencing the feel of a direct, powerful impact, which can significantly improve distance and accuracy. (31:51) Wind Resistance Golf Techniques This chapter focuses on the challenges golfers face when dealing with wind on the course and the importance of striking the ball solidly to overcome these obstacles. We compare learning the basics in class to facing real-world complexities, highlighting how a solid shot is crucial regardless of weather conditions. There's a discussion on common misconceptions about altering techniques, such as moving the ball forward to combat wind, and how such adjustments often lead to poor contact and weak shots. We emphasize the necessity for amateur golfers to master hitting the center of the clubface before attempting advanced strategies like using the wind to their advantage. We share humorous anecdotes about playing with partners who overestimate their skills and provide practical advice on simplifying their approach to improve consistency and reduce ball loss. (43:17) Putting Techniques for Windy Conditions This chapter focuses on a unique putting technique that initially drew skepticism but ultimately gained popularity among a group of golfers. I share my experience of how this unconventional method, which involves putting to the fringe rather than directly to the hole, made sense after explaining the reasoning behind it. As more people adopted this approach, it became a staple practice within the group. Additionally, we highlight the importance of consistently listening to the advice shared on the show, especially when it comes to improving skills like playing in the wind.

For many, French Lick Valley was an idyllic retreat and recreational wonderland. But for Black residents, the Valley was a hotbed of violence and intimidation in the early 1900s. Many had moved to the area from the South to work in the hospitality business. The local community responded to their presence with a series of threatening letters and bombings. While these efforts succeeded in driving out some Black residents, those who remained opened businesses and established recreational opportunities. In this new episode of Talking Hoosier History, we explore the resilience of Black French Lick residents despite contending with displacement, vandalism, violence, and eventually the organized efforts of the Klan. This episode of Talking Hoosier History is voiced by Justin Clark, written by Nicole Poletika, and produced by A.J. Chrapliwy. A transcript, show notes, and more information on this episode is available at the THH website: https://podcast.history.in.gov/.

(00:01) Gifts for Golfers During the Holidays This chapter captures the festive spirit of the holiday season as we navigate through the art of gift-giving for golfers. With Christmas just around the corner, we discuss the do's and don'ts of selecting presents for the golf enthusiast in your life. Emphasizing the value of gifting experiences over material goods, we recommend giving the gift of golf instruction or a gift certificate to a favorite golf store, allowing golfers to choose what they truly need. We caution against buying specific clubs, shoes, or shirts, as personal preferences in these areas are often quite particular. However, one universal gift suggestion stands out: Titleist Pro V1 golf balls, which are widely appreciated by golfers despite their brand loyalties. Our lighthearted conversation is interspersed with humorous anecdotes and practical advice, ensuring you're well-prepared to avoid the dreaded lump of coal in your holiday shopping. (12:17) Improving Golf Game With Unique Swings This chapter explores the intersection of golf, celebrity interviews, and a dash of humor as we discuss an upcoming golf tour company started by Bachelor star Ben Higgins and his friends, with plans for a trip to French Lick, Indiana. We highlight French Lick Resort as a great destination for golfers and non-golfers alike. A light-hearted discussion unfolds about a friend who plays Santa Claus and struggles with his golf swing, which humorously mimics Santa's approach down a chimney. By making simple adjustments to his stance and ball position, I help him hit straight shots, proving that even without major swing changes, better golf is possible. The chapter wraps up with a playful exchange about how giving the gift of improved golf can be as joyful as Christmas itself. (23:27) Improving Golf Performance Through Adjustments This chapter explores the challenges and considerations involved in tailoring golf techniques to individual body types and abilities. We discuss the humorous yet insightful analogy of a golfer with a Santa Claus-like belly, emphasizing the importance of adapting techniques based on personal physical attributes. We also highlight the need for personalized approaches, whether it involves learning to turn more effectively or adjusting foot positioning for better swing dynamics. Moreover, we address the limitations of the "swing your own swing" philosophy, noting that for some golfers, especially those with excessive flexibility or improper grip, strategic adjustments are necessary to achieve consistency and power. By recognizing these unique needs, we can help golfers improve their game by making thoughtful changes rather than adhering strictly to one-size-fits-all advice. (34:50) Winter Golf Adventures and Misadventures This chapter takes us through a lively conversation about winter activities in the Midwest and beyond, focusing on snowmobiling, wildlife encounters, and the unique allure of winter golf. We explore the thrill of snowmobiling and the unexpected adventures that come with wildlife like moose and elk. The discussion then shifts to the transformation of golf courses during winter, where they become playgrounds for sledding and cross-country skiing. We humorously touch on the quirks of playing golf in the snow, with tales of daring golfers hitting balls off frozen lakes and using brightly colored balls to navigate snowy fairways. The conversation wraps up with a nod to the increasing number of indoor golf venues providing enthusiasts with their much-needed golf fix during the cold months. (41:23) Winter Golf Accessories for Golfers This chapter explores the practicalities and humorous anecdotes surrounding golfing in cold weather, focusing on the use of propane heaters and cart covers to stay warm. We discuss the creativity of golfers who brave the elements, such as using mittens to keep warm between swings, and share the practicality of gifting these items to avid golfers. For those seeking gift ideas, we highlight the benefits of a propane heater and cart cover as thoughtful gifts for golf enthusiasts who don't mind chilly conditions. Additionally, we recommend gift certificates for favorite stores, golf lessons, or rounds of golf as excellent alternatives, especially during the holiday season. Whether you're trying to keep your golfer entertained during the winter or simply want them out of the house for a few hours, these suggestions aim to satisfy both the golfer and the gift-giver.

Send us a textThis podcast episode explores Larry Bird's formative high school years in French Lick, Indiana. Growing up in poverty with a father battling PTSD, Bird developed a sense of grit and determination early on. His older brother's basketball scholarship showed him a path to a different future.

Andy and Brendan bring in the month of October with this meandering episode on a wide array of pro golf and non-golf topics. They begin with a debate about pumpkin patches. Then they get to the news that PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan and Saudi PIF's Yasir Al-Rumayyan are playing together in the Dunhill this week alongside their pro partners, Billy Boy and Mean Dean. This leads to a lengthy digression on the ability to get a deal done on the golf course, as well as an exploration on some of the many other amateur/celebrity names in the field. Then they get to some minutiae on the Furyk and Friends Champions Tour weekend. The Sanderson marks the return of Cutthroat Corner, as well as a chat on Monday Q's report about the reduction of fields and cards memo that was sent out. They close with a discussion on the KFT Championship at French Lick, who is in, who is out, and where cards are on the line and some argue it is the purest moment in sports. As they try to leave, Brendan pans the notion of a 5-part documentary series on the Ballfrogs.

(00:01) Golf and Football Banter With BetOnline This chapter kicks off with the excitement of football season in the air, blending with the ongoing climactic events in the world of golf, such as the FedEx Cup at East Lake and the upcoming Corn Ferry Tour finals at French Lick, Indiana. Amidst this, Jeff and I share a lighthearted moment about IU football and the challenges they face in the Big Ten. Shifting gears, we express our growing disinterest in professional golf's financial disputes, instead focusing on the personal joys of coaching and working with various golfers, from amateurs to tour players. Finally, we acknowledge the intersection of sports and betting, highlighting how platforms like BetOnline have integrated golf into the betting scene, making it a year-round engagement for enthusiasts. (12:13) Improving Golf Ball Launch Angle This chapter explores the dynamics of achieving height in golf shots, prompted by John's recounting of a scramble where he hit a low five wood shot that rolled impressively close to the pin. Jeff Smith, a top golf teacher, breaks down the mechanics of getting the ball airborne, emphasizing the importance of striking the bottom of the golf ball with the club's bottom weight. He explains how the position of the ball in relation to the swing arc is crucial for achieving the desired height. Jeff advises identifying the lowest point of the swing and positioning the ball accordingly, cautioning against placing it too far back or forward. This chapter provides valuable insights into improving ball flight and achieving better shot height. (24:07) Mastering the Hinge and Thump This chapter focuses on mastering the "hinge and thump" technique for bunker shots and thick rough. By positioning the ball at the front of your stance and using a wrist hinge to create a steep angle of attack, you can effectively strike the ground below the ball without opening the clubface, reducing the risk of mis-hits. We discuss the importance of a steep downward motion combined with a forward body turn to ensure the clubhead makes clean contact. Real-life examples illustrate how proper execution of this method leads to successful shots, emphasizing that simplicity and letting the club do the work can yield better results than overcomplicating the technique. (31:18) Mastering Bunker Shot Techniques This chapter explores advanced bunker shot techniques and debunks common myths about loft in sand traps. I describe a scenario where I used an eight iron from a deep bunker with a six-foot lip, demonstrating how proper technique can achieve seemingly impossible shots without opening the club face. Additionally, I explain another trick shot where I turned the club sideways with negative loft to extract a ball plugged in the bunker face. By emphasizing the importance of getting the club below the ball and creating an explosion of sand, I illustrate how these methods can help golfers achieve better results in difficult bunker situations. We also draw an analogy to moving a spider in a swimming pool, reinforcing the concept of using an explosion of sand to propel the ball out of the bunker. (35:23) Fine-Tuning Golf Swing Mechanics This chapter focuses on the nuances of achieving the perfect golf swing, particularly when using a five wood on a par three or a three iron off the fairway. We explore techniques for avoiding thin shots by ensuring proper ball positioning and posture. Emphasizing the importance of understanding the ground conditions, we highlight the difference between skimming the top of the ground and making a solid, controlled impact. Practical advice is given on practicing swings away from the ball to find the natural bottom of the swing arc. The chapter underscores that small adjustments, such as ensuring the correct distance from the ball and the right shoulder height, can significantly improve shot accuracy and consistency. (42:19) Frustrations and Misconceptions in Golf This chapter explores the surprising statistic that only 5% of golfers can consistently break 80, despite the various challenges and unpredictable elements inherent in the game. We discuss the multitude of factors that can affect a golfer's performance, such as bad bounces off the cart path, gusts of wind altering ball trajectories, and the frustrating instances when a perfect shot ends up in a less-than-ideal situation. By examining these common scenarios, we highlight the unpredictable nature of golf and question the authenticity of some of the stories shared in golfer groups online. Ultimately, we encourage our listeners to persevere and aim for improvement, with the hope that they will soon join the ranks of those consistently breaking 80.

This week on Bullpen Sessions I dove into the world of fiduciary PBMs with my special guest Ken Kemker. Ken is the co-founder of DisclosedRX, a company that differentiates itself by being a “full disclosure” PBM, as opposed to a “transparent” PBM; listen to the episode to find out why that's such a huge difference, and why “transparency” in the PBM world doesn't actually mean being transparent.  We also discussed Ken living in French Lick, Indiana, the hometown of the great Larry Bird, as well as Ken's background in supply chain management and how that experience has benefited him in the PBM world. 

Some things are bigger than sports. Every once in awhile that phrase is used to describe an event that means more than the score on the board. The relationship Larry Bird and Magic Johnson share with history is one of those things. Sure we will talk about their stellar achievements on the court, but there is so much more to Magic vs Bird. Michigan State vs Indiana State, Los Angeles vs Boston, Lakers vs Celtics, black vs white, introvert vs extrovert, Hollywood vs. French Lick. What ended up stronger than any rivalry was friendship. Join us as we get Historically High on Magic vs. Larry.

Let's start with the basics: Hard Truth is putting out some incredible ryes from Indiana. And none of it came from MGP.  There's so much more, though. Using a sweet mash technique, Hard Truth is developing ryes, bourbons, and finished whiskies, always with an eye to standing out. They've got a 325-acre property on which you can stay, taste, tour, make your own moonshine, and "get lost" adventures.  Hard Truth also puts its money where its mouth is by using local grain and honoring the farmers. It's latest endeavor partners Hard Truth with the Mellencamp family, producing four editions of the Harvest Rye to showcase the farmers' skills through the final product.  You might debate sweet vs. sour mash or what an "Indiana" rye is (there's a designation for that now, btw) but the Hard Truth is undeniable: visit and taste and you'll love what you have.  Thanks everyone for listening, and thank you to Bryan for entering the Whiskey Ring! _________________________________________________________ Before we jump into the interview just a few quick notes: Ad-free listening is now available to $5/month patrons and above!

River Roots Barrel Company, out of Cleveland, Ohio, has been making some serious waves in the whiskey world. Their hazmat proof bottlings on Seelbach's flew off the virtual shelves, and the upcoming port barrel bourbon is on my to-do list as soon as it's live.  As always, though, there's more to the story, including partnerships with barrel brokers and celebrity chef Michael Symon. At first glance, River Roots seems like an independent bottler, but they're really doing more than that. Like Lost Lantern and some of Gene Nassif's work, they're blending, finishing, and playing with the bourbon, with great results so far.  The Cuhayoga River once caught fire - we know it, they know it - here's hoping River Roots, with the Cleveland crew, keeps catching fire as well. There's lots of good whiskey that will come from it.  Thanks everyone for listening, and thank you to Ryan for entering the Whiskey Ring! _________________________________________________________ Before we jump into the interview just a few quick notes: Ad-free listening is now available to $5/month patrons and above!

Nelson's Green Brier Distillery - NGB for short - has been around for quite a while. It's older than Jack and George, and at one time produced more than both of those by several magnitudes. And then, like so many others (and unlike its younger peers), Prohibition put an end to Charles Nelson's distillery, which his wife Louisa led for 18 years after his passing and until statewide Prohibition in 1909.  NGB was then lost to history and nature for around 90 years. Then, by a fluke, Andy, Charles, and their dad went to a butcher. That butcher...well, you'll hear the story in the episode.  Today, Nelson's is quickly becoming a go-to spot in Nashville and a fast-rising Tennessee Whiskey. After touring the facility and trying some of their whiskies, it's clear they're earning the legacy of DSP-5. Gone are the days when Belle Meade was the flagship, sourced while their own whiskies were aging. Now, Nelson's Green Brier Tennessee Whiskey and the Nelson Bros. line are taking center stage.  Thanks everyone for listening, and thank you to Andy for entering the Whiskey Ring! _________________________________________________________ Before we jump into the interview just a few quick notes: Ad-free listening is now available to $5/month patrons and above!
