Good news on the whiskey front for today. Couple of topics and friendly banter is what were all about. EnjoyBadmotivatorbarrels.com/shop/?aff=3https://www.instagram.com/zsmithwhiskeyandmixology?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==Patreon.com/offtopicwhiskeyDonald Trump has said he will remove all tariffs and restrictions on whisky imports in honour of King Charles and Queen Camilla's state visit to the US.The US president said he would lift restrictions on Scotland's ability to work with the state of Kentucky on whisky and bourbon.The UK government confirmed this applies to all whisky tariffs, including on Irish whiskey.Industry representatives said distillers would be able to "breathe a little easier during a period of significant pressure on the sector".President Trump told reporters why he has decided to lift tariffs on whiskyTrump said the Royal visit "got me to do something that nobody else was able to do, without hardly even asking".The King and Queen spent four days in the US on a state visit hosted by Trump where they visited Washington DC, New York and Virginia before they left on Thursday.In response to the news, a spokesperson for Buckingham Palace said the King sent his "sincere gratitude" to Trump and he "will be raising a dram to the President's thoughtfulness".Scotland's First Minister John Swinney called it "tremendous news for Scotland" and said he was grateful to the King for the key role he played.Swinney added: "Millions of pounds were being lost every month from the Scottish economy."'Wonderful honour'In a post on his Truth Social account, Trump said the move was "in honour of the King and Queen of the United Kingdom, who have just left the White House, soon headed back to their wonderful country".He said the tariffs and restrictions related to "Scotland's ability to work with the Commonwealth of Kentucky on Whiskey and Bourbon, two very important industries within Scotland and Kentucky", and noted how the two areas were linked through the use of wooden barrels.The main customer for Kentucky's used bourbon barrels is the Scotch industry, which has been importing around £200m-worth each year.The president added: "The King and Queen got me to do something that nobody else was able to do, without hardly even asking!"A wonderful honour to have them both in the USA."At a press conference later on Thursday, Trump added: "I just took all the restrictions off, so Scotland and Kentucky can start dealing again."And I did it in honour of the King and Queen who just left."'Royal sparkle'The Scottish and UK governments had both lobbied for the current 10% tariff rate to be reduced or removed on the basis it would benefit both Scottish and US distillers.Tariffs for exports to the US, introduced under the Trump administration and adding 10% to importers' costs, hit sales in Scotland's whisky industry's biggest export market.American tariffs on single malts, which were suspended four years ago, were on course to return this spring with a further 25% charge, unless a deal could be done with the Trump administration.Single malts, which sell at premium prices, are a particularly important part of exports to the US.Yes, whisky enthusiasts are finally starting to see more allocated bottles sitting directly on retail shelves. Driven by increased production capacity and a cooling of the post-pandemic "bourbon craze," popular labels are becoming much easier to find without relying on raffles, lotteries, or secondary markets.While true "unicorn" status bottles (like Pappy Van Winkle or George T. Stagg) remain incredibly rare, the wider market is shifting.
To celebrate 100 episodes, we finally open one of the most hyped bourbons in the world — George T. Stagg from the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. At 135 proof and uncut, it's everything you'd expect… and more. But this episode goes beyond the pour. We reflect on: Our favourite moments from the podcast The incredible people we've met along the way What surprised us most about the bourbon industry And why we feel like we're only just getting started This is part celebration, part reflection, and part appreciation for the journey so far.

On this episode of Chill Filtered, Cole and Bryan take it back to 2016 to crack open what many consider one of the most legendary releases of all time: George T. Stagg (144.1 proof). Yeah… this one's been a long time coming. Before diving into the pour, the boys get into AI-generated videos and music, some April Fools' jokes that actually landed (and some that didn't), and a great conversation on how your whiskey palate can evolve over the years — sometimes leaving old favorites in the dust. On Whiskey World News, Bryan reads about Penelope's big financial win following their buyout from MGP, and what that could mean for the brand going forward. And on “What Whiskey Would You Choose?”, the boys get a little introspective: What's a whiskey you used to love but feel like you've “outgrown”? An iconic hazmat pour, some thoughtful whiskey nostalgia, and just enough chaos to keep it fun — this one's got a little bit of everything.

Four. Hundred. Episodes. Somehow, some way… we made it. For this massive milestone, Cole and Bryan are beyond honored to welcome Freddie Johnson of Buffalo Trace to celebrate Episode 400. Having Freddie join us for this one feels right — a true ambassador of bourbon, history, and hospitality sitting down to talk life and whiskey on a landmark episode. Of course, we couldn't do 400 without pouring something special. The boys crack into some absolute heavy hitters — think Pappy and George T. Stagg — but what starts as a celebration of big bottles quickly becomes something deeper. This episode turns into an honest, thoughtful conversation about life, legacy, whiskey, and the relationships that really matter. It's reflective. It's meaningful. It's the kind of episode that reminds us why we started this podcast in the first place. No Whiskey World News. No “What Whiskey Would You Choose?” Just good people, great whiskey, and a moment to appreciate 400 episodes of Chill Filtered.
This week on Whiskey@Work, we climb way past safe territory and straight into hazmat country.Rob and Mark post up at the Windsor Bar with Justin Henrichsen and crack bottles that most airlines would politely confiscate. We're talking 140 proof and up. A Canadian cask strength that drinks suspiciously easy. A George T. Stagg that smells like a candy bar and hits like a freight train. And a 161 proof Wyatt Earp blend that tastes like someone tucked a cigar inside the barrel and forgot about it for 13 years.Along the way, there's scooter crashes, single barrel picks, forgotten rickhouse science, and the eternal question… can you actually enjoy whiskey this hot, or is it only for showing off?It's big proof, bigger personalities, and a reminder that sometimes Mother Nature makes the best blend of all.Pour carefully.

Each and every year, some of the most sought after whiskeys of the Fall season come from the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. While we would have liked to review these bottles a little sooner, they didn't hit the shelves in Kentucky until December. Was it worth the wait? We think so. Join us this week as we taste and review the 2025 versions of George T. Stagg and William Larue Weller. WLW is always a highly touted and sought after whiskey and Stagg returns to it's traditions with a hazmat proof.

Named in honor of the whiskey pioneer George T. Stagg, who acquired the historic O.F.C. Distillery from Colonel E.H. Taylor in 1878, this powerhouse bourbon embodies his legacy of boldness and vision. Before taking the helm of what is now Buffalo Trace Distillery, Stagg had built a reputation as a successful whiskey salesman, and today his name graces the boldest expression in the Antique Collection. First introduced in 2002 to meet growing demand for well-aged, barrel-strength bourbon, this year's George T. Stagg Bourbon was drawn from barrels aged more than 15 years and 4 months. The 2025 release is one of the strongest ever, bottled at 142.8 proof to deliver uncut, unfiltered intensity. The 2023 George T. Stagg release earned top honors, including Best in Class and Double Gold medals at the 2024 Whiskies of the World Competition.
Send us a textA 15-year, 135-proof legend on the table with a harmonica legend in the chair—this one hits from the first clink. We invited our bandmate Marc to the studio and opened a 2023 George T. Stagg from the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, then followed the whiskey wherever it led: into the heart of Chicago blues, the chaos of a second-row Zeppelin show in '75, and the craft behind carrying a box of harmonicas in every key.We start with the nose—char, leather, dark fruit, brown sugar—before tackling the palate's big swing from spice to sweetness and that long, oily finish. Along the way we break down the Antique Collection's fall releases, why these bottles drop before the holidays, and what makes this year's addition of a bonded Colonel E.H. Taylor such a buzz. If you've ever wondered why “burnt” can taste great in bourbon, how mash bills shape sweetness without wheat, or how to enjoy high proof without nuking your taste buds, you'll leave with practical tips you can use on your next pour.Marc's stories give the episode its backbone: Muddy Waters playing a high school gym, late nights at the Checkerboard Lounge, and the reminder that most classic rock owes a quiet debt to the blues. Our SIP rating (Shareable, Influence, Price) keeps us honest about scarcity and cost: Stagg earns big respect on influence, gets shared only with folks who can handle the proof, and remains a bargain at MSRP but a gulp on secondary. We end the night with a few harp notes, a nod to The Doors, and a toast to opening special bottles with the right people. If you enjoy high-proof bourbon, music lore, and straight talk on tasting, hit play, subscribe, and leave a quick review—what's your favorite pour for cold-weather nights?
Host Todd Ritter flies solo in this special episode, taking listeners on a journey through the latest bourbon news and a deep dive into whiskey history. With Jim out of town, Todd kicks off the first half by tackling a massive slate of industry updates before sampling a unique experimental whiskey. He covers the Lost Lantern "Scotch Lover's" Fall 2025 collection, the nationwide expansion of Wyoming Whiskey's "Buffalo Bill Cody," Jim Beam's new Harden's Creek trio (Mushroom, Beaver, and Owl), and Jack Daniel's Distillery Series #15, a "Sweet Mash" Tennessee Whiskey. Todd also details new releases from Chicken Cock and Town Branch, Buffalo Trace's 9 millionth barrel milestone, and the bombshell news that Kirin is exploring the sale of the Four Roses distillery. The segment features a deep dive into the 2025 Buffalo Trace Antique Collection (BTAC), highlighting the new 15-year-old Colonel E.H. Taylor Bottled in Bond and a formidable 142.8-proof George T. Stagg. The first tasting of the day is the Remus Master Distiller Experimental Series Number One from MGP. This 9-year-old, 107-proof bourbon was aged in lightly charred and heavily toasted Seguin Moreau barrels made from staves seasoned outdoors for 24 months. Todd finds a big vanilla nose with a "wine funkiness," fig, and dark baking spices. The palate proves "soft and velvety" with notes of toasted marshmallow, chocolate, a hint of red wine, and a sweet, spicy finish of candied pecan and allspice. For the second half, Todd unearths a true gem for history nerds: a complete reading of a 1909 essay by none other than Colonel E.H. Taylor Jr., titled "The Rule of the Regions." Discovered in the University of Kentucky archives, the essay provides a fascinating look into the mind of the bourbon pioneer. Taylor boldly declares Kentucky bourbon superior to Scotch and Irish whiskeys, attributing this to the "Rule of the Regions"—specifically, the paramount importance of Kentucky's unique limestone water. He discusses the industry's massive (for 1909) $180 million value, the evolution from primitive wooden stills to scientific copper distillation, and the superiority of Kentucky's dry, ascending-proof aging methods. Most notably, he champions the Bottled-in-Bond Act as the ultimate guarantee of quality and authenticity, a protection he notes that Scotland and Ireland unfortunately lack. To accompany this historic reading, Todd tastes the Oaklore Story Series Number 2, an Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish 4 Grain Bourbon. Hailing from Matthews, North Carolina, this 95-proof blend of 5-to-6-year-old bourbons (70% corn, 10% rye, 10% wheat, 10% malted barley) is finished for 12-18 months in sherry casks. The whiskey shows a ruby tinge and offers a nose of raisin, wine, caramel, and vanilla. The soft palate features notes of black cherry, cocoa, sherry-driven nuttiness, and sweet dark fruits. Be sure to check out our private Facebook group, "The Bourbon Roadies" for a great group of bourbon loving people. You will be welcomed with open arms!
In a very special episode, host Todd Ritter travels back in time to sit down with a true titan of the bourbon industry: the ghost of Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. himself. Taking a brief leave from his permanent residence in the Frankfort Cemetery, the Colonel joins the show to tell his incredible life story in his own words. He recounts his early life, from being orphaned as a child and sent to live with a prominent guardian in New Orleans to being adopted by his uncle—the original Edmund Haynes Taylor—in Frankfort. Colonel Taylor explains how he learned the banking business first, giving him a unique financial insight into the successes and failures of Kentucky's early distillers. This business acumen, combined with access to the meticulous distilling notes of the legendary Dr. James C. Crow, set him on a path to revolutionize the industry. He details his trip to Europe to study Old World techniques, bringing back innovations like climate-controlled rickhouses and copper distilling equipment. He walks listeners through the founding of his iconic distilleries, from the O.F.C. and Hermitage to his ultimate masterpiece, the Old Taylor Distillery (now Castle & Key), a stunning "showcase" designed to be the birthplace of bourbon tourism. Along the way, he shares tales of his famous falling out with his one-time business partner, George T. Stagg. In the second half, the man behind the portrayal, Frankfort historian Russ Kennedy, steps out of character to join the show. Russ shares his own fascinating journey from being the "world's worst history student" to becoming one of Frankfort's most passionate historical storytellers. After a career with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife, a post-retirement gig as a tour guide at the State Capitol ignited a love for local history. He discusses how he developed his craft, first portraying Frankfort's founder, Stephen Frank, before taking on the iconic role of Colonel Taylor. Russ talks about his work today, leading historical walking tours by appointment, making special appearances as the Colonel at distilleries and events, and his involvement in projects like the Frankfort bourbon history documentary. This unique episode is a departure from the usual tasting format, offering a rich, story-driven deep dive into the life and legacy of one of bourbon's most influential figures.

Our weekend adventure through the Windy City revealed a bourbon hunting paradise unlike anything we'd experienced in our home territories.Chicago's whiskey landscape stands in stark contrast to the controlled distribution systems of states like Ohio. Where allocated bottles might drop statewide back home, Chicago's liquor stores operate as independent whiskey islands, each with their own treasures waiting to be discovered. On a single drive from our hotel to Wrigleyville for a Cubs game, we counted thirteen different liquor stores – each offering unique selections at surprisingly reasonable prices.The highlight came at Woodman's, where we stumbled upon a freshly delivered 17-case drop of Weller 12 priced at just under $50 after tax. To put this in perspective, the same store had simultaneously received Weller Full Proof, 1792 Cognac finish, and Buffalo Trace's "Tater Salad" bottles (EH Taylor Small Batch). At Binny's flagship store – the third-largest liquor retailer in America – we indulged in a $50 flight featuring Old Rip Van Winkle 10, Van Winkle Special Reserve 12, and Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye, each poured as generous 2oz servings.Beyond retail therapy, we explored Koval Distillery's innovative grain experiments, savored rare scotches pulled from the vault at Green Post Restaurant alongside Martin Duffy, and capped our nights with pours of George T. Stagg 2018 at the legendary Delilah's bar. Most precious of all were the friendships formed along the way – from chance encounters in bottle release lines to fireside tastings of Eagle Rare 17 that stretched into the early morning hours.Whether you're a seasoned bourbon hunter or simply curious about exploring whiskey culture beyond the traditional Kentucky trail, Chicago offers an unexpectedly rich playground for whiskey lovers.

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

In this episode of Drinks and a Movie, we're diving into one of the most stylish and action-packed Bond films of the Roger Moore era—The Spy Who Loved Me (1977). From the unforgettable ski jump opener to the sleek Lotus Esprit submarine car and the menacing presence of Jaws, this film is peak '70s Bond spectacle. But what's a Bond discussion without a drink in hand?This week, I'm pairing the film with the 2023 George T. Stagg from the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. This uncut and unfiltered bourbon is as bold and complex as 007 himself—rich with dark caramel, oak, and spice, delivering a long finish worthy of a Bond villain's monologue. Join me as I break down the espionage, the iconic Carly Simon theme, and, of course, this powerhouse of a bourbon. Grab a glass and tune in—because nobody does it better. Cheers!

Stagg from the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. Many bourbon enthusiasts actually prefer the regular Stagg despite the significant price difference, describing it as "the working man's bourbon" versus "the rich man's special bottle." At $59.99 MSRP, Stagg represents extraordinary value compared to secondary market prices of $200-400.Beyond the tasting, the episode captures the camaraderie that makes bourbon special - sharing bottles, standing in line at releases, and planning adventures like the upcoming Kentucky Bourbon Festival tour.

The bold powerhouse of Buffalo Trace's annual Antique Collection, this fifteen-year-old whiskey is bottled directly from the barrel. The George T Stagg 2023 release is uncut and unfiltered, the bourbon explodes on the palate with rich notes of dark chocolate, oak, and effervescent cherry. Cheers!
Always a monster whiskey, this latest release features a 15yr and 2 month old vatting bottled at 136.1 proof. Baking spices, cola, and a touch of mint on the nose lead to intense warming spice, barrel notes, more cola, fig, maraschino cherries and caramel. The finish is lengthy with a flood of sweet spice. This is the stalwart, and it never seems to disappoint.

Send us a textIt's no secret that we, and the bourbon community at large, are massive fans of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. It's not often that we're able to taste expressions from the fabled series, but this year, Perry and Eric were lucky enough to taste not one, but TWO bourbons included in the lineup. Perhaps the two most coveted in BTAC, William Larue Weller and George T. Stagg bourbons are as rare and as coveted as bourbons get these days. But, how do their 2024 iterations hold up? Plus, the boys taste a 2020 Goose Island "Kentucky Fog" Bourbon County Stout and give their thoughts on it.

George T. Stagg bourbon was first released over 20 years ago in 2002. It's been released every year thereafter, except 2021 when Buffalo Trace decided not to include it as they felt barrels didn't meet the brand's standards. A fact that may be difficult for newcomers to bourbon to believe given the prolific supply of high proof bourbons today, in the early 2000s, the barrel proof bourbon category was nowhere near as prevalent as it is today. Known for its intense flavor profile and (often) mouth-searingly high proof points, George T. Stagg is one of the long running barrel proof bourbons that helped ignite consumers' interest in this category. Perfect as a rare bourbon gift or for elevating your collection.

Episode 135 of Key Frames, a podcast about anime. Baki Hanma did not even need to look up from the glass he was cleaning to know that it was Yujiro, his father and the strongest bartender on earth, who pushed aside the door that separated his eight-seat bar from the wind-scoured streets outside. "Good bars have a smell," the hulking figure murmured as he took a seat. "You can search the world over and still not come across a smell like this. Give me something to warm me up." Baki froze for a moment at the request, but soon a glass sat full in front of his latest patron. "Kentucky bourbon. You suppose is sufficient?" Yujiro made it barely sound like a question. "A man needs more than fire for warmth. Maybe you're still just a barback after all..." "Old man, this is George T. Stagg. Famously strong, yet rich and complex, it warms body and soul." With a chuckle, his father raised the drink to cruel and menacing lips. "Nice" was all he said then, but with that single word, Baki the Tippler had won. The post 135 - It Hits Different (Pejorative) first appeared on Key Frames.
Post a story and picture of your favorite whiskey glass on our Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter pages (@BigRedLiquors ) for a chance to buy a bottle of 2023 George T Stagg! Or email me directly with a picture and story at support@bigredliquors.com. All posts and emails will be gathered and the winner will be announced on Friday, June 14th. My favorite whiskey glass is an engraved rocks glass with a heavy bottom I received 13 years ago for officiating a wedding for college friends on Mackinac Island, my first of four! I've tried hundreds of different glasses since then, but I always seem to come back to this one. I received four originally, and have only broken ONE, which is a pretty good record considering little kids in the house. I like it because it feels substantial and I know the perfect amount of pour because it's where the liquid meets the bottom of the "C" initial engraved in the glass. The couple I married are still together, and I'm still happily using the glasses they gifted me all these years later. What better way to toast the things that last!
George T. Stagg built the most dominant American distillery of the 19th century, during a time known as the Gilded Age of Bourbon. Uncut and unfiltered, this robust bourbon whiskey ages for nearly a decade and boasts the bold character that is reminiscent of the man himself. 2023 - 04, “STORYTELLER BATCH”: The fourth release of the Booker's Bourbon 2023 Collection is Booker's Batch 2023-04 “Storyteller Batch.” This batch is named after the way my dad, Booker Noe, could turn just about anything he talked about into an interesting story. Booker's “Storyteller Batch” is made up of barrels from four production dates that were aged in four different warehouses. The breakdown of barrel storage for this batch is as follows: 26% came from the 6th floor of 7-story warehouse Z 14% came from the 6th floor of 9-story warehouse H 25% came from the 5th floor of 9-story warehouse G 35% came from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse 3
There's a lot to be said about the Stagg (formerly Jr.) brand: it's bold; it's brash; it's full-bodied; it's legendary. BUT, in yet another This is my Bourbon Podcast turn of insanity, we have NEVER reviewed one. No, not George T Stagg, the bigger, badder brother of Stagg. We're talking Baby Stagg. This week, Eric and Perry (hello that's me again) get into two of the three releases from 2023 and talk about the ongoing legacy and love of Stagg amongst bourbon drinkers. They also drink on something that may or may not even be released yet. Enjoy.

What else is there to say? It's BTAC season! For this week, we taste and review one of the most revered bourbons in all of the land which is George T. Stagg. Coming from the annual release of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, this years version is a little over 15 years in age and clocks in at a blistering 135 proof. This bourbon is the shear definition of premium. Even though we were passed over again for media samples by BT, Kenny hustled his *ss off to get us this bottle. So, is GTS the standard bearer? The almighty? The granddaddy of them all? In years past, that's certainly been the case....but what about this year? You'll have to listen to find out. Spoiler alert: this is by far the most complicated pass, try, or buy in the history of the podcast! -------------------------- Socials IG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupky FB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupky TW: https://twitter.com/themashupky Partnership Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUP Music: All the Fixings by Zachariah Hickman Thank you so much for listening!

We discuss the history of evangelicalism with Isaac B. Sharp. Or rather, the alternative history of evangelicalism, for it differs in some significant ways from what you may have heard about how evangelicalism in America developed, and how most of us understand what it is today. Would it surprise you to learn there were once proud theologically liberal evangelicals? That there was a time when being evangelical did not obviously imply a conservative political stance or being white or straight? If so, Sharp's analysis in his book The Other Evangelicals will give helpful context to why that seems strange to us now (hint: it wasn't accidental).The bourbon we taste in this episode is George T. Stagg from Buffalo Trace Distillery. To skip the tasting, go to 8:09. You can find the transcript for this episode here.=====Want to support us?The best way is to subscribe to our Patreon.
