In 1753, Swiss Mennonite farmer John Shenk founded Shenk's distillery, which was later renamed Bomberger's Distillery in the 1800s before having its name changed once again to Michter's Distillery in the mid-20th Century. It is this great heritage that we honor with the release of Bomberger's Declaration and Shenk's Homestead which comprise our Michter's Legacy Series.

It's a head-to-head battle of Michter's 2025 Legacy Series releases — the sweet and delicate Shenk's Homestead (91.2 proof) vs. the bold and oaky Bomberger's Declaration (108 proof). I break down their unique cask choices, share full nose/palate impressions, and crown my pick for the better buy. Plus, two distilleries step up big to support flood relief in Kentucky and Texas — proof that good bourbon can do good in the world.
This week, hosts Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter venture down a sweeter path on The Bourbon Road podcast for a truly decadent and educational experience. They are joined by a very special guest, Nicole Patel, the founder and master chocolatier of the Austin-based Delysia Chocolatier. In a fascinating twist, Nicole reveals that her journey to becoming a chocolatier began after earning a master's degree in engineering. She discusses how her engineering mindset and a challenge to conquer the particular science of chocolate making—from tempering to managing temperature and humidity—led her to create her business. Throughout the episode, Nicole guides Jim and Todd through a blind tasting, pairing a variety of spirits with selections from her "History of Chocolate" tasting set without any advance knowledge of the whiskeys. She provides expert instruction on the proper way to experience the pairings: first tasting the bourbon, then letting a piece of chocolate melt on the tongue to appreciate its individual flavors, and finally, combining the two to see how they interact and transform one another. The result is an exploration of complementary and contrasting flavors that will inspire listeners to host their own tasting parties. The pairings on this episode include: Round 1: Jim's Blanton's Single Barrel, with its traditional caramel and baking spice notes, is paired with Delysia's Spiced Ganache truffle. Todd's seven-year Old Fitzgerald wheated bourbon, featuring cherry and honey notes, is matched with a Chipotle Orange truffle made with unique ruby chocolate. Round 2: Jim brings out a Weller 12 Year, noted for its cherry and oak profile, which he and Todd both pair with the complex Mexican Mole truffle, containing a blend of eight peppers and six spices. Todd also tastes his Old Grand-Dad Bottled-in-Bond, with its characteristic peanut note, against the spicy chocolate. Round 3: The hosts throw some curveballs. Jim pours a Michter's Barrel Strength Bourbon, featuring dark fruit and caramel notes, which Nicole pairs with the Apple Pie truffle. Todd selects a Laird's Apple Brandy, which is also expertly paired with the Apple Pie truffle, with its notes of cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and tart green apple. Round 4: For the final tasting, Jim enjoys an Angel's Envy Cask Strength finished in tawny port barrels, bringing savory, dark grape notes. This is paired with the White Peach Balsamic white chocolate truffle. Todd concludes with a peaty Ardbeg Corryvreckan scotch, which Nicole matches with a simple yet elegant Smoked Cacao truffle, made with 85% bittersweet chocolate and salt smoked in a Texas barbecue pit. Join the roadies for an episode that proves there are no wrong answers in pairing, only delicious experiments. Learn about the anatomy of a truffle, the art of flavor creation, and why bourbon and chocolate are a match made in heaven.

This week on Chill Filtered, Cole and Bryan pour not one, but two great whiskeys from Michter's — the always-anticipated Michter's 10 Year Bourbon and the historic Bomberger's PFG. Between sips, they catch up on life and dig into the fascinating backgrounds of both Michter's and Bomberger's, tracing their roots and legacies in American whiskey. On Whiskey World News, Bryan covers the developing story around Uncle Nearest's lawsuit and what it could mean for the brand. And on "What Whiskey Would You Choose?", the guys debate: James B. Beam Distillery or Maker's Mark Distillery — which one are you choosing? Two pours, one big lawsuit, and a bourbon battle for the ages.
Michter's Legacy Series celebrates the foundational roots and heritage of the brand through two different whiskeys. Shenk's Homestead Sour Mash Whiskey honors John Shenk who founded what would become the Michter's brand all the way back in 1753. Bomberger's Declaration Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey honors the time period when the Michter's distillery was known as Bombergers. Each year, Michter's changes the wood finishing techniques and mashbills used in these whiskey to create something unique. This year is no different, but how do these whiskeys taste and how do they compare with last years releases (E199). Join us this week as we talk about traveling to NY, upcoming releases, and of course these two bottles.

You've got to do what I finally did this episode, and get off the highways that bypass the town of Duncannon, sitting just downstream of the confluence of the Juniata and the Susquehanna. Why? As a local bartender told me, "I call it FunCannon!" This episode came together in about a day and a half, thanks to Michael Lindgren at Lindgren Craft Brewery in Duncannon. I've been drinking their beer at Pisano's Winery here in Millheim, and when circumstances put me on the road to Duncannon, I thought I'd see if he could give us an interview. He did, and my traveling companion Dave Dreese and I went there, and to the Doyle Hotel across the way, and an Appalachian Trail hostel called Kind Of Outdoorsy, and the iconic Red Rabbit Drive In, and then on up the river to Williams French Fries in Millersburg. That put us on the far side of the Susquehanna, 20 miles either way from a bridge to our side of the river. No worries: we got a ride on the only remaining paddlewheel ferry in the US, the Millersburg Ferry. Come along, it's like riding with Hank and Tom and Becky on the river. What else? Well, What I'm Drinking Today was a delicious dram of Michter's 10 Year Old Rye, the 2025 release, and it is exceptional. The Smack Dab In The Centre segment is about the upcoming Another World Music Festival, three days of 30 bands on two stages, right here in beautiful Penns Valley, the smack-dab center itself! Of course there's more American Whiskey Master Class news as we get closer to the September 23 launch date! Events in Washington, PA and Baltimore, and if you just can't wait, you can pre-order it here! Next episode will be about the great local grocery stores in central PA, everything from four aisle markets to ten-store chains with full-service butcher shops and fresh seafood. They aren't Whole Foods or Wegmans, but they're not 7-11s either, and they're out here where central PA actually lives. Let's go shopping! See you in two weeks! Until then?

Michter's US*1 Single Barrel Straight Rye Whiskey is made from a mash comprised primarily of fresh, plump rye grains. Once the grains are harvested, they are sheared so that during fermentation, the grains are saturated with more flavor. After the grains have been fermented, they are distilled through a copper-pot still before being matured in charred, American oak barrels. The barrels are allowed to rest in a heat-cycled warehouse, which forces the wood to expand and contract as the temperature rises and falls. This heat cycling causes the whiskey and wood to mingle with each other, and contributes notes of marmalade and light caramel to the rye. Cheers!

In this episode of the Restaurant Owners Uncorked podcast, Wil Brawley talks with Seth Watson, the founder of Distillery of Modern Art in Atlanta. Seth shares his entrepreneurial journey, from launching a production and event design business out of a garage to eventually building a one-of-a-kind distillery that blends spirits, art, and community. He opens up about why he left his first business, how he navigated outdated Georgia alcohol laws, and why he built a distillery with multiple revenue streams: a cocktail bar, an art gallery, an event space, and a production facility. Seth also discusses the lessons he's learned about ego, iteration, and surrounding himself with smart people, while offering fascinating insights into bourbon, gin, and the modern spirits landscape.Key Takeaways: From Garage to 400+ Events a Year: Seth's first business in event production started in a garage and grew into a full-scale company handling hundreds of large-scale events annually. Exit Fueled by Values Misalignment: After 17 years and increasing tension with a 50/50 partner, Seth exited the business to preserve his sanity and avoid letting resentment fester. Control Matters: Seth learned the hard way that 50/50 partnerships often don't work. He now maintains control in any business he leads. Birth of a Unique Concept: Distillery of Modern Art combines a distillery, cocktail bar, art gallery, and event space—all designed around Seth's love for whiskey and modern art. Navigating Georgia's Arcane Liquor Laws: Seth had to build his distillery concept while lobbying against outdated post-Prohibition laws that limited direct-to-consumer sales. Whiskey Meets Art: The subjectivity of both whiskey and art inspired the distillery's brand and mission: create a sensory and aesthetic experience, not just a product. Producer for Other Brands: In addition to his own spirits, Seth's team produces over 40 products for 18 other brands across the U.S., offering a more personal and flexible alternative to large manufacturers like MGP. No Ego in Product Development: Seth scrapped his original gin recipe when taste tests failed—not because he didn't like it, but because customers didn't. Craft Over Hype: Seth values drinkability and authenticity over branding. He prefers bottles like Michter's over hyped-up names like Pappy Van Winkle. Committed to Community: From supporting small farmers to featuring local artists (commission-free), Seth backs up his community-first philosophy with action. Owner Mentality, Not Exit Mentality: Like the Yingling family, Seth isn't chasing a fast exit. He wants to build a sustainable, generational business—possibly passing it on to his children one day.
We discuss the bourbon flavor wheel published by The Council of Whiskey Masters. Then hold on tight, we close out part 2 with some top notch bourbons!
What's the Biggest Thing In Tipton? America's oldest family-owned pasta sauce maker, DelGrosso Foods! The DelGrosso family has been making pasta sauce in Tipton for over 75 years, and running their amusement park even longer. Joe and Michael DelGrosso tell me the stories behind this; the love story, the beer garden story, the innovation story, and through it all, their family story. Maybe the most amazing story is how this 78 year old sauce company doubled their sales in the past two years. It's a real success story! Hear about hot pepperoni, hot sauce, and how DelGrosso's new sauce has catapulted into second place nationally in only a few years of sales. You'll also hear stories about this clan grew up together, then spread out, but still comes together to keep the business running. It's very much a central PA story, about small towns, small companies, and family strength, with a dash of railroads and luck. Once again, a long interview; the longest we've run yet, so not a lot of time for other stuff, but we do have a contest for you! DelGrosso Foods donated two prizes: a selection of 12 jars of their Original and La Famiglia DelGrosso sauces, and two day passes to the DelGrosso Amusement Park and Laguna Splash Water Park! Easy directions for how to enter are in the episode, listen and win! And just because, I still shoehorned in Tipton and Tyrone stuff: Austin's Texas Hot Dogs in Tipton, and then Tyrone stuff: The Brew Coffee and Tap serving great coffee and craft beer and wines, the small but mighty -- mighty delicious! -- Sugar Mill Bakery, and a great little deli, Mac's Market and The Gridiron, with full service meats and the signature Tyrone hoagies topped with a cool drift of thin-sliced onions. It's a long episode, but it's worth it! What I'm Drinking Today was the latest Michter's 10 Year Old Bourbon release, a leaner Michter's than usual. The Smack-Dab in the Centre sponsorship moment covers the upcoming Hoppy Valley Brewers Fest, coming next weekend, July 19th! Next episode? It's a Gettysburg episode, which required a marathon pub crawl with my buddy Dave Dreese. Plus the winners of our big DelGrosso Giveaway! See you in two weeks! Until then?

Inspired by the rallying cry for a war history has often forgotten, Remember the Maine is a drink that wears its patriotism on its sleeve, and its vermouth and cherry component with pride.

Welcome to another episode of the Drinks and a Movie Podcast! In this episode, I'm diving into Martin Scorsese's high-octane, unapologetic ride The Wolf of Wall Street (2013). Based on the true story of Jordan Belfort, this film takes us deep into the world of greed, excess, and moral corruption on Wall Street, featuring standout performances by Leonardo DiCaprio and a sharp, frenetic direction from Scorsese. With its outrageous humor, fast-paced energy, and unforgettable moments, The Wolf of Wall Street remains one of the most exhilarating, yet cautionary, tales of ambition gone wild.To complement this wild ride, I'm pairing the film with Michter's US1 Bourbon. Known for its balance of bold flavors and smoothness, Michter's US1 Bourbon offers a rich and layered profile that perfectly matches the film's high stakes and intoxicating energy.

Joe Magliocco didn't found Michter's Whiskey…but he is the modern-day father of the brand. Magliocco uncovered the lapsed trademark for Michter's nearly 30 years ago that led to the brand's revival. He'll join us on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth to discuss everything from the history of Michter's to today's concerns over tariffs and overproduction. In the news, the European Union has joined the trade war with the U.S., and will impose a 50% tariff on Bourbon and other American whiskies April 1. The U.S. has responded with a threat from President Donald Trump to tax European spirits and wines at 200%, and spirits producers on both sides of the Atlantic are concerned. We'll have the details, along with the story of a New Jersey man's unusual find along the beach — 11 bottles of Prohibition-era whiskey.

Pappy 13:When first approached by Buffalo Trace, Julian III was honored, but not immediately interested. He had ample bourbon aging, but the concern was for future reserves, since by this time, bourbon was increasing in popularity. Buffalo Trace bought the W.L. Weller label in 1999 and had been making the bourbon with nearly the same recipe as Pappy's. The transition was easy. As of May 2002, Buffalo Trace has produced the Van Winkle bourbons, using Pappy's exact recipe. This change allows Old Rip Van Winkle to maintain their strict quality standards while producing more barrels for future enjoyment.Michter's 10: The 10 Year Rye expression reflects the exceptional results of uncompromising craftsmanship and Kentucky's unrivaled climate for aging outstanding whiskey. Often much older than the age statement on the label, only a select few barrels age with the elegance required for inclusion in these highly limited releases.
On this episode of The Fred Minnick Show presented by BAXUS, Fred's guest is pitmaster icon Pat Martin.

A government shutdown looms this Friday, and Congress is scrambling to find a funding bill that both parties will approve. The rush comes after President-elect Trump (and Elon Musk) scrapped a bill, and then a short term bill backed by both Trump and Musk failed to pass on Thursday.

Kentucky distiller Michter's is bracing for the possibility of a 50% tariffs on exports to the EU. CEO Joe Magliocco explains the strain of tariffs on the whiskey business, as well as President-elect Trump's overnight tariff threat to the European Union.
