In this episode, we put Maker's Mark Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Knob Creek 9 Year, and Russell's Reserve 10 Year to the test and see which one actually stands out. We're tasting them blind, comparing notes, and trying to lock in our rankings before the bottles get revealed.

Send us Fan MailWe dig into why 375ml bourbon bottles are suddenly everywhere and what that shift means for prices, access, and trying new whiskey without committing to a full bottle. Along the way we swap festival stories, call out standout distillery releases, and make the case for half bottles as the ultimate share-friendly format. • New Orleans Bourbon Festival highlights, logistics and surprise moments • Makers Mark barrel pick timeline and how releases get coordinated • Why 375ml bottles help with rising bourbon costs and buyer hesitation • How allocated and limited releases reach more people in half bottles • Pocketable sharing bottles, travel wins and shelf-space reality • Standout examples from Woodford, Old Forester 117, Jim Beam experimental series and Bardstown Cathedral • Whether 375s feel special when the same whiskey exists in 750ml • The business tradeoffs of more bottles, more corks and higher per-ounce pricing • Comparing festival strategies, booth lines and bottle hunting expectations Let us know what your thought is on 375s. Leave a comment before before, thumbs up, thumbs down, you know Half bottles are making big waves in bourbon, and we have questions. When a distillery drops a 375ml instead of a 750ml, is that a sneaky way to charge more per ounce, or the smartest way to help more people actually taste the good stuff? We talk through the real-world math, the collector mindset, and the simple truth that most of us want variety without turning our home bar into a storage unit.I'm joined by Matt from Cleveland On The Rocks, and we connect the 375ml trend to what we're seeing at distilleries and bourbon festivals. We revisit the New Orleans Bourbon Festival experience, including how the layout, food, and producer access changes the whole weekend, then compare it to the Kentucky Bourbon Festival reality of booth lines and timed bottle drops. If you've ever planned a trip around an allocated release, you'll recognize the strategy behind smaller formats.Then we get specific: Old Forester 117 series, Woodford gift shop releases, Jim Beam's experimental 375s, and the kind of special story-driven bottles that feel tailor-made for the half-bottle format. We also dig into why 375ml bottles can be the best “try before you commit” move for rum finishes, honey finishes, and other experiments, plus why they are built for sharing and traveling.If you're curious whether 375ml bourbon is a trend or the future of limited releases, hit play and weigh in.

The Stupid History of Makers MarkBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-stupid-history-minute--4965707/support.

Maker's makes multiple magnificent mashed merchandise.This week we taste a bit of corporate whiskey called Makers Mark and its sister product the Makers Mark 46. Nathan is a bit of a Makers fan, owning multiple wax-top bottles, and loves their flavor profiles. If you haven't had Maker's before, you need to change that.Cheers!

The crew sits down and discusses their favorite tours, interviews, bottles and things from this past year. The highlights were too many to count. From virtual conversations with High West, Film Land and Blind Barrels to distillery visits at West Fork, Casey Jones and Makers Mark. 

Send us a text The crew is back at the table talking bottles, budgets, FOMO, and how their whiskey-buying habits have evolved since Season 1, when nobody dared spend over $50. From the overwhelming wave of new releases hitting shelves to the psychology of chasing hype, the guys break down what really makes a bottle worth the buy. They get honest about guardrails, dealing with the “whiskey glut,” and why a $30 bar pour might save you from a $300 mistake. Then they dive into something surprising: a brand-new release from Maker's Mark, their first new mashbill in over 70 years. The fellas react to the bottle, the marketing, the mash bill experiment, and whether it earns a spot on your shelf. Expect jokes, debates, a few unexpected tasting notes, and a rating that might shock longtime Maker's fans. If you've ever wrestled with FOMO, wondered how to navigate the flood of new whiskey drops, or just want to hear what happens when a big distillery finally switches it up, this episode's for you. Pull up a chair, grab a glass, and find out why this pour had the whole table rethinking what they thought they knew about Maker's Mark 

Send us a textA Galway street corner, a chance hello to Adam Duritz, and a sunglasses-off moment with Courtney Cox set the scene before we pour something special: Maker's Mark Cellar Aged 2025. We start with the nostalgia and then zero in on why this release feels different—same mash bill, new dimension—thanks to a cool limestone cellar that slows the dance between spirit and wood.We break down what matters for your glass. The blend leans 74% 11-year with 13- and 14-year components at 112.9 proof, and the profile announces itself on the nose with brown sugar, cinnamon, toasted oak, and that apple-pie cozy note. On the palate, it turns decadent but never cloying: orange and cherry like an old fashioned, chocolate and toasted almond like a pastry, and enough spice to remind you it's nearly 113 proof. The fruit shows up earlier than you'd expect from a wheated bourbon, while leather and tobacco stay in the background. If you've only known standard Maker's as sweet and light, this one bends the arc toward depth and balance.We also talk price, timing, and how to find a pour without burning your budget. MSRP lands at $175, with some secondary lift, so we tested by the ounce first—a move we recommend. Bigger retailers and smart whiskey bars will be your best bet, and if you spot it near retail, we'd grab it. Our ratings land strong, and we call it a top contender for year-end lists, especially for drinkers who want a dessert-ready sipper that doesn't need ice or a mixer to shine.If this kind of fruit-forward, cellar-shaped wheated bourbon sounds like your lane, come taste it with us, compare notes, and tell us what you're getting in the finish. Subscribe for more pours, share with a friend who underestimates Maker's, and leave a quick review so others can find the show. What bottle should we chase next?

Send us a textA storm knocked out the lights at Maker's Mark, so we built a Private Select by daylight and rain, then dug into how whiskey's flavor science connects to America's past. We rate a “Candied Apple” pick, share cocktail ideas, and trace the path from frontier stills to Bottled‑in‑Bond and Prohibition.• Makers Mark Private Select program and stave choices• Our “Picked In The Dark” blend story and goals• Live tasting and scoring of “Candied Apple”• Caramel vs apple spice palate debate• Cocktail ideas for apple‑cinnamon profiles• Early American distilling and frontier barter• Whiskey taxation and the Whiskey Rebellion• Bottled‑in‑Bond standards and consumer trust• Prohibition, medicinal licenses and speakeasies• Farming, Dust Bowl and economic fallout links• Part two teaser on post‑Prohibition to modern bourbonSubscribe on Apple, Spotify and YouTube, become a member, and leave good feedbackRain hammered the windows, the power went out, and we had a barrel to pick. So we moved to a sunlit tasting room at Maker's Mark and built a Private Select by feel, flashlight, and a lot of palate trust—then named it “Picked In The Dark.” That's the energy we bring to this episode: a hands-on exploration of stave choices, blend strategy, and why nine weeks of finishing can turn a beloved wheated bourbon into something entirely its own.We break down the five stave types and how they shape flavor—sweetness, tannin, chocolate tones, and spice—before opening a “Candied Apple” Private Select that split the room. Expect baked apple on the nose, cinnamon warmth, a bold body, and a finish that lingers. We score it live, argue caramel versus apple spice, and spin off cocktail ideas that make the profile shine: think hot toddy or apple‑cider highball with star anise and maple.Then we widen the lens. Whiskey wasn't just a drink in early America; it was logistics, currency, and tax policy. We trace the arc from colonial rye and corn distilling to the Whiskey Rebellion, the Bottled‑in‑Bond Act's quality revolution, and the messy economics of Prohibition—medicinal permits, speakeasies, soil depletion, and the rise of organized crime. The through line is clear: from stave science to statecraft, bourbon tells the story of how the country built roads, funded wars, and developed taste.If you're curious about Maker's Mark Private Select, love a good tasting debate, or want the real history behind the glass, you'll feel right at home.

Send us a textThe Scotchy Bourbon Boys conduct a blind tasting of three years of Maker's Mark Cellar Age releases to determine which vintage delivers the most exceptional flavor profile. Our expectations are completely overturned when the 2024 release unanimously wins with its stunning caramel, cherry, vanilla, and apple notes, scoring a perfect 19/18 on our rating scale.• We discuss our recent barrel selection experience at Maker's Mark with Rob Samuels• Rob Samuels explains how Maker's created their innovative limestone cellar for aging bourbon beyond 10 years without bitterness• Each Cellar Age release features different compositions: 2023 (11 & 12-year), 2024 (12 & 13-year), and 2025 (11, 13 & 14-year)• Tasting reveals the 2024 Cellar Age (119.3 proof) as our favorite with exceptional caramel, toffee, cherry, and apple notes• We explore how wheat whiskey changes dramatically when bottles remain open, with flavors evolving and improving over time• The newest 2025 release shows more oak influence, which divides opinions among tasters• We compare our Cellar Age findings with a fresh Kentucky Bourbon Festival private select with a chocolatey stave profileCheck out WWW.ScotchyBourbonBoys.com for Glen Cairns, t-shirts, and all things Scotchy Bourbon Boys. Find us on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and X, along with Apple, iHeart, Spotify, and everywhere else you listen to podcasts.What happens when wheat whiskey ages for over a decade in a revolutionary limestone cellar? We found out in our most revealing blind tasting yet.Tonight, we journey through time with all three releases of Maker's Mark Cellar Age – the limited edition series that challenged everything we thought we knew about aging wheated bourbon. After visiting Maker's Mark and spending time with Rob Samuels, we gained a deeper appreciation for how this historic distillery is pushing boundaries while honoring tradition.The Cellar Age concept is fascinating – taking fully matured Maker's Mark and transferring it to a climate-controlled limestone cellar where it can develop complexity without acquiring bitterness. Each annual release features a unique blend of well-aged whiskeys: 2023 combines 11 and 12-year bourbon, 2024 features 12 and 13-year, while 2025 incorporates three different ages including their first-ever 14-year component.Our blind tasting delivered shocking results that completely upended our expectations. The winner wasn't what any of us predicted, showcasing notes of burnt caramel, toffee, dark cherry, and what we can only describe as an "apple caramel extravaganza." One sample was so impressive it scored a perfect 19/18 on our rating scale – something that's never happened before.We also discovered how dramatically these wheated expressions evolve once opened. As one host explains, "Wheat is a much finer, softer, more impressionable grain," making these bottles living entities that transform over months. The bottle that had been open longest revealed how these expressions hit their peak and then subtly shift toward oakier profiles.Whether you're a devoted Maker's Mark fan or simply curious about how wheat whiskey develops with extended aging, this episode offers rare insights into one of bourbon's most innovative modern experiments.

In this episode of Drinks and a Movie, I'm diving into one of the most brutal and underrated entries in the 007 franchise: Licence to Kill. Timothy Dalton drops the charm and brings pure vengeance — but does it hold up today? Let's talk cartel villains, shark attacks, and why this Bond feels more like an ‘80s action flick than a spy thriller.

We kick things off by tasting Nelson's Green Brier Tennessee Whiskey followed by Maker's Mark “Heart Release” 2024, —two very different expressions with rich histories and bold profiles. Expect tasting notes, barrel talk, and a little whiskey-fueled banter. Then, we dive deep into the eerie atmosphere of the underrated 70s slasher gem "Alice, Sweet Alice" (1976). From religious overtones and masked terror to Brooke Shields' early role, we explore why this cult classic still sends chills decades later. Whether you're a whiskey lover, horror film fanatic, or both, this episode brings the perfect blend of bold spirits and bloody cinema.Follow Horror Heads Podcast HereFollow Drinks and a Movie Podcasts socials Here

Remember way back in April of 2022 when we launched Episode 40: Write Your Own Booker's Story?  Well its time for part II!  If you're not familiar with Booker's, its a cask strength Bourbon from our friends over at Jim Beam.  Each expression is launched quarterly and newer bottles come in a wooden box with a small card with a written story that explains how they named the batch and what barrels make up the blend.  Now imagine if you could write your own story for a batch of Booker's - that's exactly what we do on this episode.   Grab a pour and get ready for the chaos!  Write Your Own Booker's Story is a fan favorite and our favorite too!  We had so much fun writing not one, not two, but three Booker's stories as Mike, Devin, and even Katie Mitchell join in on the fun.  At the end of the episode we review a reaaaaaallllyyy special Booker's batch that means the world to us.  We certainly poke fun of Booker's on the show, but absolutely love the brand and the whiskies in the Jim Beam portfolio.  Go get some Booker's Bourbon!Cheers!  Support the show

Join us as we unpack holiday traditions, family dynamics, and a little whiskey-fueled wisdom.
