Send us a textIn this episode of Bottles & Bites Without Borders, Rob dives deep into a hot take: You don't need to chase the latest $90 craft bottle to experience the full spectrum of what bourbon has to offer. From the bold spice of Wild Turkey to the mellow richness of Maker's Mark, the legacy distilleries—Wild Turkey, Old Forester, Jack Daniel's, Four Roses, Jim Beam, Heaven Hill, and Maker's Mark—have been crafting iconic bourbons for generations.Rob breaks down why these historic houses still deliver the best in flavor, quality, and value, and makes the case for skipping most craft bottles that often come with higher price tags and inconsistent results. It's a candid conversation on tradition, marketing hype, and putting your whiskey budget where it counts.

What if you could taste bourbon exactly as it was made half a century ago? Not a modern recreation, but the actual liquid that was distilled, aged, and bottled during a completely different era of American whiskey production?Stephen, known online as the Dusty Whiskey Hunter, joined us to open a remarkable window into bourbon's past through his collection of vintage decanters and bottles. These aren't just interesting containers – they're time machines containing whiskey made using methods, grains, and aging environments that simply no longer exist.The tasting journey begins with Ezra Brooks decanters shaped like phonographs, chess pieces, and antique stock tickers – each containing bourbon distilled in the 1960s and 70s. As we sample a 12-year Ezra Brooks and move to a Jim Beam "Bonded Beams" from 1968-1979, the differences between vintage and modern bourbon become stunningly apparent. The rich, complex flavors with notes of roasted corn, cornbread, and baking spices leave everyone at the table agreeing that these dusty whiskeys deliver something impossible to find on today's shelves.The highlight arrives when Stephen shares his prized Very Old Fitzgerald from 1956, distilled at the legendary Stitzel-Weller distillery and bottled in 1964. This extraordinary wheated bourbon, worth approximately $3,000 on the secondary market, stands as perhaps the finest whiskey any of us have ever tasted – a liquid artifact from bourbon's golden age that no amount of modern expertise can recreate.Beyond the tasting, Stephen offers invaluable insights for collectors on authenticating vintage bottles through tax stamps and proper seals, along with guidance on reasonable price points for those looking to begin their own dusty whiskey journey. As Russ explains, "We cannot replicate this history... no matter what money we have."Follow @DustyWhiskeyHunter on Instagram or email DustyWhiskeyHunter@gmail.com to learn more about these fascinating liquid time capsules that preserve bourbon's rich heritage one bottle at a time.

Show Notes: Topic: God's Righteousness and Atonement   Divine righteousness refers first and foremost to the perfection and uprightness of the divine nature. For God to be righteous principally means that God measures up to Himself and is always all that He ought to be as God. While righteousness usually implies conformity to a standard, God simply is the righteousness or justice by which He is righteous and just. This is not so much conformity as it is identity. We might even say that in willing His own being as His highest good, God gives Himself His due. This is the original and uncreated justice of divine self-love. Righteousness is not a state of being God acquires through long practice or exercise. Rather, righteousness denotes the essence of God. Psalm 119: 137-144 Hebrews 10:19-39 Deuteronomy 32:3-4   Talk about righteousness vs Justice and their intersection (both with God and with each other)   Break down Agustine's comments (we will take this segment by segment and discuss, focus on Justice and atonement, and hope in our salvation):   The passion of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is the hope of glory and a lesson in patience.   What may not the hearts of believers promise themselves as the gift of God's grace, when for their sake God's only Son, co-eternal with the Father, was not content only to be born as man from human stock but even died at the hands of the men he had created?   It is a great thing that we are promised by the Lord, but far greater is what has already been done for us, and which we now commemorate. Where were the sinners, what were they, when Christ died for them?   When Christ has already given us the gift of his death, who is to doubt that he will give the saints the gift of his own life? Why does our human frailty hesitate to believe that mankind will one day live with God?   Who is Christ if not the Word of God: in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God?   This Word of God was made flesh and dwelt among us. He had no power of himself to die for us: he had to take from us our mortal flesh. This was the way in which, though immortal, he was able to die; the way in which he chose to give life to mortal men: he would first share with us, and then enable us to share with him. Of ourselves we had no power to live, nor did he of himself have the power to die.   In other words, he performed the most wonderful exchange with us. Through us, he died; through him, we shall live.   The death of the Lord our God should not be a cause of shame for us; rather, it should be our greatest hope, our greatest glory. In taking upon himself the death that he found in us, he has most faithfully promised to give us life in him, such as we cannot have of ourselves.   He loved us so much that, sinless himself, he suffered for us sinners the punishment we deserved for our sins. How then can he fail to give us the reward we deserve for our righteousness, for he is the source of righteousness? How can he, whose promises are true, fail to reward the saints when he bore the punishment of sinners, though without sin himself?   Brethren, let us then fearlessly acknowledge, and even openly proclaim, that Christ was crucified for us; let us confess it, not in fear but in joy, not in shame but in glory.   The apostle Paul saw Christ, and extolled his claim to glory. He had many great and inspired things to say about Christ, but he did not say that he boasted in Christ's wonderful works: in creating the world, since he was God with the Father, or in ruling the world, though he was also a man like us. Rather, he said: Let me not boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Barry's Batch, named for former Beam chairman and CEO Barry Berish, celebrates a man who guided the company for over 40 years until his passing earlier this year.This exceptional batch delivers everything bourbon enthusiasts seek in a premium barrel-strength release. At 125.7 proof, you might expect an aggressive heat, but Barry's Batch surprises with remarkable approachability. The nose immediately captivates with rich caramel aromas complemented by hints of peanut butter and vanilla that promise a memorable tasting experience.The flavor journey begins with honey sweetness on the tongue, developing into luscious caramel mid-palate before revealing warming cinnamon and allspice notes. What truly distinguishes this batch is its perfect balance – delivering full-bodied intensity without overwhelming the palate. Following Booker's philosophy of drinking bourbon "any damn way you please," we explored it neat, with a few drops of water (which amplified delightful peanut butter fudge notes), and over ice (bringing forward subtle graham cracker flavors).Aged 7 years, 2 months, and 4 days, this release demonstrates the meticulous barrel selection process that has become a hallmark of the Booker's brand. The blend incorporates barrels from five different warehouse locations, creating a complexity that tells the story of Kentucky's unpredictable aging environment. Each sip offers a window into why Booker's remains one of the most sought-after limited releases in American whiskey.Whether you're a longtime Booker's enthusiast or new to barrel-strength bourbon, Barry's Batch represents a fitting tribute to both its namesake and the enduring legacy of the Beam family. Pour yourself a glass, raise it to Barry, and discover why this bourbon scored an impressive 15/18 on our scale.

The company started with Rolling Fork Rum and has since expanded to include Wayward Cask, which features Calvados and Armagnacs from France, and Bourbon Deluxe, a Prohibition-era label they recently revived. The Origins of Rolling Fork Spirits Rolling Fork Spirits: Jordan explained that Rolling Fork Spirits is the parent company, with Rolling Fork Rum being their most well-known product. Expansion: The company has expanded to include Wayward Cask and Bourbon Deluxe, each offering unique and high-quality spirits. Historical Ties: Jordan's business partner, Turner, comes from the Wathen family, a name deeply rooted in the history of Kentucky bourbon. Bourbon Deluxe Revival Historical Significance: Bourbon Deluxe was a Prohibition-era label that Jordan and Turner revived after Jim Beam abandoned the trademark. Marketing and Branding: They aimed to maintain the vintage feel of the original label, including quirky taglines like "Glorious Sunshine of a Thousand Ages" and "The Zenith of Possibility in Whiskey Quality." The Journey into Rum and Other Spirits Initial Focus on Rum: Jordan discussed why they chose to start with rum, a spirit often underappreciated in the U.S. market but highly valued in Europe. Armagnac and Calvados: They later ventured into these spirits, which are beloved by industry insiders but not widely known among the general public. Blending and Bottling Blending Process: Jordan shared insights into their meticulous blending process, which involves selecting barrels based on specific criteria and balancing flavors to achieve the desired profile. Challenges and Strategies: He also talked about the challenges of blending, such as dealing with "bad barrels" and how to incorporate them into a blend without compromising quality.

For example, their 25-year-old Calvados is priced at $149, a rarity in the market. Market Trends: Jordan touched on market trends, including the impact of COVID-19 on the spirits industry and the rising popularity of agave spirits.

Send us a textListen, all the beautiful bourbon that is produced all over Kentucky (and other places) goes into brand new oak charred barrels.  We totally get it!  But after they go into barrels, you have to store them somewhere!  When most folks think about rick houses, they think of the beautiful wood warehouses that Buzick Construction Inc has built for generations!  But, it's interesting to know that wood is not the only natural resource that is used!  Today, the Bo Brothers talked with Alex Smith and Kayla Hoeck with A & S Solutions LLC and learned about their steel warehouses!  It's absolutely fascinating!  And, we loved to learn another example of how the Bourbon industry works together not as competitors but as each other's biggest supporters!  That's exactly the relationship A & S Solutions has with Buzick Construction.  Sit back, pour you some bourbon and listen to an entertaining but education episode of 2 Shots on a Barrel Podcast!https://www.facebook.com/groups/288170582570690 Bourbon Podcast Bo Brothers

I wrote this song 12 years ago. Found it this morning as I got the manic motivation to clean out old email, because that's my biggest problem today…Thank God.   I was about to delete the highlighted messages when something caught my eye.   You can do this: An audio file from my friend and Slam Circus singer Andy Patalan.   The song was originally called “Always” and I wrote it for my second wife.  When I played it for her She said, “whatever,” and went back to bed.   Some time later, I got home from a month long business deployment and she met me in the kitchen.   “Have you had enough coffee?”   “I'm gettin' there.”   “Well, I need to tell you I'm not happy.”   So many emotions hit me that I didn't know how to respond. Or maybe I did.    I had seen pictures of her partying in without her wedding ring and I was background processing how to handle it.  You know, benefit of the doubt, and all the other bullshit we tell ourselves to avoid a hard truth.   A million thoughts churned and quickly coalesced.   “Ok, then go someplace you'll be happy.”   “Where am I supposed to go?”   “That's your problem now.”   We had two Doberman Pinschers at the time, siblings.  "Whatever you do, don't split them up. Take both or neither.”    She split them up, took her favorite and left. Cruelty to animals is worse than cruelty to humans. It's unforgivable.   During my month long business trip I had become friends with a waitress.   Applebees was the only restaurant open at 21:00 after I closed the record store, and she was there every night when I came in, double shot of Jim Beam waiting for me on my customary table.    I knew something was wrong at home and was already self-medicating, general anesthesia for a painful procedure I knew was coming.   I called my waitress friend after the wife left… That's where this song came from. I changed the lyrics and decided I needed to sing it myself.  My Slam Circus brothers fixed it up and Andy nailed the chorus like he always does.   Mike Purcell, Mark McCoy, Andy Patalan. Brothers.   So brother, if you're going through hell right now I need you to know it gets better.   I'll see you on the other side. If you're still alive, You're halfway there.

This week on The Whiskey Trip, Big Chief takes listeners to the bourbon capital of the world—Bardstown, Kentucky—for an unforgettable conversation with his good friend Bernie Lubbers, the National Brand Ambassador for Heaven Hill Distillery and the man known far and wide as The Whiskey Professor. Bernie's journey into whiskey is as fascinating as the spirits he represents. After 20 years on the comedy stage, fate led him down a different path—one paved with barrels, tradition, and the rich history of America's native spirit. For the past two decades, he has traveled the world, first for Jim Beam and now for Heaven Hill, preaching the gospel of great bourbon. His love for Bottled-in-Bond whiskey runs deep, a passion passed down from his father, and today, he stands as one of its greatest advocates. Chief and Bernie kick things off with a pour of the legendary Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond 6-Year—a beloved, now-discontinued gem that bourbon lovers still mourn. They then move on to JW Dant, another Bottled-in-Bond treasure that deserves a spot on every whiskey drinker's shelf. As they dive deeper, they sip on Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond 7-Year, a whiskey bursting with rich peanut brittle sweetness and a beautifully balanced finish. The second half of the show is nothing short of spectacular. Chief and Bernie savor the bold, oak-forward character of Henry McKenna 10-Year Bottled-in-Bond, a whiskey layered with sharp spice, honey, and warmth. And then, the moment of the night—Old Fitzgerald 19-Year Bottled-in-Bond, a rare and luxurious pour that whiskey enthusiasts dream about. Just when Chief thinks the ride couldn't get any better, Bernie drops a bombshell: Heaven Hill is set to release an Old Fitzgerald 7-Year Bottled-in-Bond, available nationwide.  This episode isn't just about whiskey; it's about passion, legacy, and the art of storytelling. Bernie Lubbers isn't just an ambassador—he's a master of his craft, a true whiskey evangelist who lives and breathes the spirit of Bottled-in-Bond. So pour yourself a glass, settle in, and join us for another incredible ride on The Whiskey Trip. Cheers!

Did you think we were going to take some time off from blinding after the best of 2024? Not a chance. One night about a month ago, Steven sent a message to our group text and asked if any of us have ever had the newer age stated 7 year Beam. After a skeptical response from Kenny, an idea was born. We decided to do a blind of 7 year old bourbons. The bottles in this blind are: Old Louisville 7 year bourbon/Premier Drams 7 year bourbon/Jim Beam 7 Year bourbon/Heaven Hill Bib 7 year/Nashville Barrel Co. 7 year bourbon/Old Ezra 7 Year. Which bottle came out on top? Leave us a comment before you listen and give us a listen to find out who came out on top.
