Those that follow bourbon surely know both Denny Potter and Jane Bowie. If not due to their work with Maker's Mark (as well as Heaven Hill in the case of Denny Potter) surely for being on the padcost previously (talking about Maker's Mark & Heaven Hill... boy, I'm typing in circles!). Having Jane and Denny back on the padcost was an absolute treat. Discussing to the Potter Jane story; hearing how it started and how thing are going was a joy as were the laughs along the way. ...as usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in.

In this Episode of The Bourbon Life Podcast, Matt and Mark spend some time hanging out live in The Bourbon Life Studios with Denny Potter and Jane Bowie, Co-Founders, of Potter Jane Distilling Co. The guys talk with Denny and Jane about their very impressive backgrounds in the industry, the difficult decision to leave what many would consider dream jobs at Maker's Mark to build their own distillery from the ground up, and what consumers can expect from the new Potter Jane Distilling Co. once it's up and running, including their decision not to source any whiskey while they wait on their own distillate to mature. They also taste and review Old Fitzgerald 17-Year Old Bourbon from Spring 2022 (brought by Denny), an old bottle style Baker's 7-Year Old Bourbon (brought by Jane), and a 25-Year Old Highland Park Single Malt Scotch (also brought by Jane and one of her personal favorites).

This week on The Whiskey Trip Podcast, Big Chief heads to Bardstown, Kentucky to hang out with two of the best in the whiskey business. He sits down with Jane Bowie and Denny Potter to discuss their new distillery, Potter Jane Distilling Co. located in Springfield, Kentucky. These two have built a chemistry with the Big Man, so the laughter and conversation comes easily. They talk about the difficulty of leaving Maker's Mark and the challenges of becoming distillery owners. They walk Big Chief through the design of their new home and the mashbill they will use to make whiskey that should be ready in 2029. Denny, Jane, and Big Chief start the show by sipping on Henry McKenna 10 year bottled and bond. In the second half these two bourbon comedians let Big Chief try some of the Markers Mark Cellar Aged 12 year, that he says could quite possibly be his whiskey of the year. This ride on The Whiskey Trip is dedicated to Denny and Jane's great friend Diane Rogers, the Quality Control Manager of Maker's Mark who lost her battle to cancer. Raise a glass to her passion for life and bourbon. Cheers!

Colum Egan had a unique challenge when presented with the opportunity to build a new Bushmills distillery that would complement the venerable existing distillery: take the best technology of today while making the whiskey taste the same way the old distillery has been producing it for decades. The €37 million project went into production a year ago, but few visitors have been allowed inside to take a look at the new distillery. You'll get a first look inside with Colum Egan on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, Irish Whiskey exports rose in 2021, but will be pressed to meet that goal in 2022. We'll have the details along with an exclusive interview with former Maker's Mark whisky makers Denny Potter and Jane Bowie, who are now ready to disclose their plans for a new distillery in Kentucky.
In this episode, Alec remembers his dogs Chico and Karly, talks about what he had last night, and gives you the update on Jane Bowie and Denny Potter's next move. To drink is to live!

Holly guesses that the whisky Charles blind tastes her on is from Arran in Scotland and that's about all she got right, that it was from an Island but it was NOT Arran! We talk about all of the new Scotch Whisky that has arrived at the shop and Holly's trip to Kentucky and Tennessee. Did we mention we got a few Buffalo Trace products in too? We feel odd about it but hey, it's good whiskey. New Riff is our featured distillery this episode and we discuss the mass exodus of big-timers like Denny Potter & Jane Bowie leaving Maker's Mark.

September is Bourbon Heritage Month, and while Bourbon can be made anywhere in the U.S., Kentucky is known as "the state of Bourbon." Bourbon makers generate millions of dollars annually for the state's economy, and their taxes help pay for local services and public education. The unprecedented growth of the industry hasn't come without its growing pains, though...and we'll look at some of the issues facing the "state of Bourbon" with Janet Patton of the Lexington Herald-Leader. In the news, Maker's Mark has lost two of its top leaders as Denny Potter and Jane Bowie leave for a new venture, while Blue Run Spirits is planning a new $51 million distillery. We'll have all of the week's whisky news, tasting notes, and look at what may be the world's toughest whiskey trail to visit.
It's This Week in Bourbon for September 2nd 2022. Denny Potter and Jane Bowie both leave Maker's Mark at the same time. Blue Run Spirits will invest almost US$51 million into building a 35,000-square-foot distillery in Georgetown KY.

The guys talk with Denny and Jane about some exciting things that have gone on with Maker's Mark since they both originally appeared as guests on the Podcast in Episodes 25 & 67, respectively, including Maker's Mark's recent certification as a B Corp and what that means for the Distillery, the development of the DNA Project that explored the results of changing the barrel entry proof from the standard 110 Proof to also include barrels at 115, 120, & 125 Proof and the results of that experiment, and the recent changes to the Maker's 46 bottle and packaging and the reasoning behind those changes which are probably not what you think they might be.

With 14 years at Maker's Mark under her belt, Jane Bowie knows a thing or two about crafting a timeless bourbon and an iconic brand. Jane, director of innovation for Maker’s Mark and a Kentucky native, talks about the depth of possibilities for bourbon, how the iconic red wax drip on Maker's Mark bottles came to be (hint- think cognac) and her experience in a male-dominated industry. How did Maker's Mark go from the scrappy new kid on the block selling one drink at a time, to the iconic brand we know and love today? Find out on this week's episode of the Spirited Advocate.
Jane Bowie carved her path into whiskey with a famous cover letter received by Bill Samuels which led her to be the first global ambassador at Maker's Mark. Over her 14 year career, she has helped propel the brand into new areas and new limited edition releases. We talk to her about this and all the good things going on at Maker's. Cheers!

It's common knowledge/scientific fact that around 70-75% of flavor in whisky is dictated by the casks said whisky matures in. Given this, a job title such as "Master of Maturation" surely holds great importance at *any* distillery. Listen in as Jason discussed all things Maker's Mark with the inimitable Jane Bowie, Master of Maturation at Maker's Mark Distillery. So, as usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in. Unless you're driving. If you're driving, be smart and stay sober but be sure to listen into the conversation!

60 years ago, Bill and Marge Samuels dipped the first bottles of Maker's Mark Bourbon in Loretto, Kentucky. They left the "e" out of "whisky" and shipped the first cases to Keeneland in Lexington. When Maker's Mark finally decided to start a private barrel program several years ago, Bill Sr. and Marge's grandson Rob decided to put a different spin on the concept and let their customers actually create a unique Bourbon instead of picking from a bunch of cask samples. Keeneland was first in line for a Private Select bottling, too, and we'll get the story behind the program from Jane Bowie of Maker's Mark on WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, we have the cause - and the effect - of the Jim Beam rickhouse fire in Kentucky earlier this month, and we'll also explain just how whiskey spills near rivers can lead to thousands of dead fish. The Scotch Whisky Association is taking a Virginia distillery to court over its use of the word "Highland" on its labels, and we'll have the details along with tasting notes for two of the offending whiskies.

This week, we continue our Tales of the Cocktail 2017 coverage. This is the 5th of 9 planned episodes about Tales 2017. We will talk with Jane Bowie from Maker’s Mark. During Tales this year, I was invited to a Maker’s Mark event at Dicky Brennen’s Bourbon House. The Bourbon House had purchased a full barrel of Maker’s 46. Quoting from the invitation I received to the event, The Bourbon House is “the first in Louisiana to have created its very own Maker’s Mark® Private Select™. This is a first-of-its-kind barrel program that allows retail customers to customize their own personal Maker’s Mark by finishing fully-matured cask strength Maker’s Mark Bourbon in a single barrel made up of their custom selection of ten total oak staves, resulting in over 1,000 possible selections”. Take a listen to Podcast No. 223 with the audio player on this page, or on Apple Podcasts/ Google Play Music/ Stitcher Radio for a slice of the Tales experience!
