Two New Riff bourbons that are identical down to the mash bill, with one exception: one aged four years, the other eight. So we turned it into a blind taste test. One of us poured, the other guessed, and guess who walked away mad? We also get into why a year in a Kentucky rickhouse counts like dog years, the fifty-two-year-old bottle of Jack we once cracked open, and the one rule New Riff had to break to release the eight year at all.

Send us Fan MailDo we have a brand new whiskey on our hands? We sure do! Was it created in conjunction with a brewery not too far away from the distillery that made it? Sure was! But, here's the thing: we're doing more than just reviewing it this week. We're doing a heckuva review AND pairing it with beer! Who would've thought to do something like THAT? Couldn't tell ya! Anyway, it's a good episode and definitely doesn't get a little crazy towards the end!

In this episode of Five Minute Fridays, we explore an incredible milestone in the craft spirits movement: the triumphant resurgence of aged craft whiskeys. Leading the charge is Northern Kentucky's own New Riff Distilling with their highly anticipated, limited-edition 10-Year-Old High Note Bourbon and Rye releases. We dive deep into the production details, mash bills, and proof strengths, alongside an honest review of the sensory tasting experiences.The Rise of Double-Digit Craft WhiskeyFor years, major legacy distilleries dominated the double-digit age statement landscape. However, craft powerhouses like New Riff, Starlight, and Peerless are proving that patience pays off in the craft whiskey world. As these distilleries cross the 10-year mark, they are unleashing rich, deep flavor profiles that rival any bottle on the shelf.Head-to-Head: The Mash Bills & ProofsNew Riff's latest decade-old duo showcases the distillery's flagship recipes, allowed to mature to peak complexity:10-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon: Clocking in at 116.9 proof, this expression features a high-rye mash bill of 65% corn, 30% rye, and 5% malted barley.10-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Rye: This 118-proof powerhouse utilizes a traditional 95% rye and 5% malted rye mash bill.Tasting & Sensory ReviewInspired by John from the Embellished Podcast, this review emphasizes the crucial value of revisiting high-integrity whiskey over multiple days to truly unlock its full, evolving complexity.New Riff 10-Year Bourbon NotesNose: Rich aroma highlighted by deep tobacco, plum, and a bright layer of citrus rind.Palate: A complex interplay of mature oak tannins, dark cherry, and honeyed peach.Finish: Long, spicy, and satisfyingly warm with a heavy rye-driven influence.New Riff 10-Year Rye NotesNose: Expressive and punchy with dominant spearmint, vanilla, and sweet honey.Palate: A beautifully juicy, well-rounded mouthfeel layered with sweet cinnamon sugar, lemon zest, and hints of ripe peach.Finish: Distinctly spiced and balanced. While our host personally leans toward the bourbon, both bottles are undeniable contenders for whiskey of the year.Limited Release DetailsThese high-integrity, barrel-proof, and non-chill-filtered whiskeys are limited-run creations. If you are a resident of or visitor to Northern Kentucky, do not miss your chance to head to the distillery, secure these rare bottles, and taste history in the making.Featured Resources & ConnectionsDistillery Info: https://newriffwhiskeyclub.com/

On this week's Bourbon Community Roundtable, our panel is tackling one of the deepest geek-out topics in the entire whiskey world: the battle over barrel entry proof and how it has evolved over time. While the modern industry has largely settled into an efficiency-driven standard of 120 to 125 proof, we're digging into the history to ask the ultimate question: did the industry get it completely wrong in 1962, and does the next decade of bourbon belong at 105? With Buffalo Trace dropping a massive new 15-year-old wheated bourbon at a 105 entry proof and Michter's continuing to dominate the premium space with their signature 103 entry proof, we debate whether a lower entry proof creates a fundamentally superior water-wood-spirit interaction. We're breaking down the financial temptation that drove the historical shift to 125 proof, the divide between casual drinkers and the hyper-informed enthusiast market, and examining real-world case studies from Wild Turkey, Maker's Mark, and New Riff to see if low entry proof is a guaranteed flavor hack or if it still comes down to the skill of the producer. Show Notes: How and why the industry legally moved from 110 to 125 proof in the early 1960s Analyzing how volume, barrel costs, and efficiency drove production changes over flavor considerations How lower entry proof alters wood interaction to deliver enhanced sweetness, complexity, and mouthfeel Distinguishing how everyday casual drinkers view production specs versus the hyper-focused whiskey enthusiast Examining experimental releases and standards from Michter's, Buffalo Trace, New Riff, and Wild Turkey Predictions on whether craft innovation will force legacy heritage brands to lower their entry proofs Learn more about your ad choices.

Both fail the test.” I'm reformed, I'm evangelical, I'm catholic, I am Baptist, I am a Calvinist…why not Christian Reminds me - I am of Paul; I am of Apollos.  1 Corinthians 3:4-9:  4For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not being merely human? 5What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each. 6I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. 7So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. 8He who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his wages according to his labor. 9For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's field, God's building. Fellow Christians (regardless of denomination) - Let us come reason together Unity of the Body of Christ for His work The enemy loves to divide. “In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity” - Rupertus Meldenius Key Text: 1 John 4  Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 5 They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. 6 We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit[a] of truth and the spirit of falsehood. God's Love and Ours.7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.13 This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. 16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. 17 This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. 18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.19 We love because he first loved us. 20 Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. 21 And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister. How do Christian men discern truth without becoming tools of deception or hatred? God demands we test the spirits (v.1) Confess Christ rightly (v.2-3 Listen to apostolic truth (v.6) Love as evidence of knowing God (v.7-21). Confronting the two ditches History (Brief Overview) Early Church: Mixed – some respect for Jewish roots, but supersessionism/replacement theology grew No longer Jew nor Gentile, but the Church and the world  Justin Martyr, later hardened replacement theology Led to disdain, pogroms (violent, mob-driven attacks—typically riots involving looting, assault, rape, murder, and destruction of property—targeted at a specific ethnic or religious groups.)  Martin Luther's later writings (On the Jews and Their Lies) exemplify tragic failure of love. Reformation/ Puritans: Varied; some future hope for Jewish people (pre-Darby).  John Nelson Darby (1800s, Plymouth Brethren) systematized dispensationalism:  distinct Israel/Church track  pre-trib rapture  literal futurist readings  Popularized via Scofield Reference Bible (1909). Fueled 20th-century evangelical support for Israel. Zionist movement: Jewish political nationalism (Theodor Herzl, late 1800s) responded to European antisemitism. Christian Zionism often overlapped but with eschatological motives. Scofield influence: Shaped views of unconditional land promises. Post-Holocaust: Shifts toward Philo-Semitism (the admiration, respect, or obsession with Jewish people, culture, or history, often by non-Jews) in reaction to Church failures, but some swung to uncritical political allegiance. Modern swing: Newly Reformed / postmillennial / reconstructionist circles reacting against shallow dispensationalism by over-correcting into ethnic suspicion or outright antisemitism.  Examples:  Holocaust minimization “Zionist Occupied Government" echoes Treating all Jewish influence as cabal-like.  This is not discernment – it's another false spirit. Practical tests for Discerning information from 1 John 4 (This is the point): Does the source confess Christ preeminent - Love the Lord your God with everything  or push fear/hate/nationalism as gospel? Does it promote love for neighbors?  Prayer for enemies? Cross-reference history, primary sources, multiple views – not echo chambers. To "Reformed" Bros: Opposition to dispensational errors is fine; becoming ethnic scoffers is apostasy from apostolic love. To Zionists: Israel's existence isn't carte blanche; critique policies Biblically. This is one area - lots of other ditches  Women's role / value Poet and Warrior Both: Media profits from division. Web algorithms radicalize.  (1 Thess 5:21). but test everything; hold fast what is good.

Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter are back at the Bourbon Road bar for a dedicated rye whiskey night, working through five distinct expressions that showcase the breadth and character of American rye. From honey-finished blends to farm-strength single-grain pours, the lineup spans distilleries across Nevada, Ohio, Maryland, Kentucky, and Atlanta, giving listeners a wide-angle view of what rye whiskey looks like in 2025 and beyond. On the Tasting Mat:** - Short Barrel After Swarm 2: A blend of MGP and Green River 95/5 rye finished in Kelvin Cooperage barrels previously soaked with Oregon meadow foam honey for approximately 10–11 months, then aged an additional 11–12 months in those honey-conditioned staves. Bottled at 108.6 proof and retailing around $115, this six-plus-year expression opens with unmistakable honey on the nose alongside coconut and vanilla, leading to a syrupy, well-balanced palate of rye muffin, honey butter, and toasted pine nuts, with a finish that drifts toward Mexican chocolate and dried chili. *(00:01:19)* - New Riff 10 Year Malted Rye: A special limited 375ml release from New Riff Distilling in Newport, Kentucky, drawn from a two- to three-barrel blend of 100% malted rye aged a minimum of ten years and bottled at 118.8 proof (approximately $46 for the 375ml). The nose offers earthy, chalky minerality with underlying fruit and aromatic spice. On the palate it shows a softer, grain-forward character with dry dark chocolate, mint, and a coniferous, living-forest quality on the finish. *(00:09:23)* - Frey Ranch Farm Strength Uncut Rye: A 100% Canadian winter rye expression from Frey Ranch in Northern Nevada, distilled and aged on the same 2,500-acre farm where the grain is grown, aged a minimum of six years and bottled at cask strength, 124.52 proof. Available exclusively through the distillery's online shop at $79.99, this pour delivers an exceptional grain-forward nose with cream sweetness, fresh strawberry, and an almost field-fresh rye character. The palate is smooth and deceptively easy-drinking for the proof, with candy cinnamon and a long, clean finish that highlights the integrity of the single-farm grain. *(00:16:01)* - Pursuit United Triple Mash Rye: Blended and bottled by Pursuit United in Louisville, Kentucky, this expression combines three distinct mash bills — Sagamore Spirits high-corn rye (52% rye / 43% corn / 5% malted barley), Sagamore Spirits 95/5 rye, and Bardstown, Kentucky 95/5 rye — with barrels ranging roughly four to eight years old, all bottled at barrel proof of 124.8 and retailing for $79.99. The nose is warm and holiday-spiced with dark fruit, nutmeg, cinnamon, and a hint of citrus. The palate is buttery and velvety with blueberry, lemon sorbet, and a trefoil-cookie sweetness, finishing long and satisfying. *(00:25:53)* - Archer Eland Cashmere Rye: A collaboration between founder Wendy Pevich (formerly of Penelope Bourbon) and Middle West Spirits in Columbus, Ohio, this expression uses 100% Ohio-grown rye — a combination of standard and malted rye — aged approximately seven years and bottled at 126 proof, retailing for $84.99. The nose leads with dried apricot, peach, and a malt-forward fruitiness. On the palate it balances earthiness, ripe fruit, and a pronounced spicy mint-pepper character, with a medium-length finish carrying peach soda and fresh mint. *(00:32:38)* Rye whiskey night at the Bourbon Road bar proved once again that the category rewards exploration. Whether you gravitate toward the softer, sweetened side of the spectrum or prefer high-proof grain-forward expressions straight from the farm, this lineup offered something for every rye enthusiast. All five bottles are available now or through their respective distillery channels, and every one of them makes a compelling case for keeping a rye or two on your shelf year-round.

Send us Fan MailWe talk with Randy Prasse about why the Kentucky Bourbon Festival keeps selling out faster and how the team protects the general admission experience while still offering real VIP comfort. We get into the unglamorous details that make the weekend work, from gate flow and bottle lines to add-ons, education, and what is new for this year. • tickets selling out and what the “sold out” numbers really mean • why KBF prioritises GA first and keeps VIP co-mingling • how COVID shaped the fenced footprint and current festival model • distilleries upgrading tents, decor, and interactive activations • bottle lines, sampling lines, and better cutoff communication • entry gate fairness and adding a second GA gate • featured distillery spotlight on New Riff • new speakeasy style upgrades and small suite concepts • cigar lounge ambitions and why it is polarising • add-ons timing, lockers, shuttles, and premium education options • bourbon tourism impact for Bardstown and repeat visitors www.scotchybourbonboys.com for all things Scotchy Bourbon Boys, merchandise, Glenn Cairns, everything Drink responsibly, don't drink and drive, and go out and live your life uncut and unfiltered Tickets vanish in a day and suddenly the Kentucky Bourbon Festival becomes a planning sport. We sit down with festival director Randy Prasse to unpack how KBF in Bardstown earned that demand, what actually changed after COVID, and why the smartest design choice is surprisingly simple: build the general admission experience first, then let VIP be a comfort upgrade without splitting the crowd into two different festivals. If you care about bourbon culture, bourbon tourism, and how the best whiskey events stay authentic at scale, this conversation delivers the blueprint.  We get specific about the stuff that makes or breaks a bourbon festival weekend: bottle lines, sampling lines, communicating inventory before people waste an hour, and improving gate flow so “fairness” is more than a slogan. Randy explains why capacity hasn't quietly ballooned even when it feels tighter, how distilleries have expanded their footprints, and why the festival pushes brands to bring real engagement instead of a generic pour-and-smile setup. We also talk featured distillery New Riff, the “new product launch” energy KBF is aiming for, and the behind-the-scenes team dynamics that keep the whole thing running.  Then we look forward. Randy shares what's new, including a speakeasy style upgrade that works like a mini VIP, potential corporate hospitality suites, and the expanding menu of add-ons like education sessions, cocktail and culinary experiences, lockers, and shuttles. If you're trying to do KBF the right way, you'll leave with a clearer plan and a better sense of what to prioritise.

et me start with blessed, to be able to give yall a before the release exclusive. This spring 2026 release is paring proof points. And lets just say all bangers. But if you want my thoughts on a couple of the offerings look no further. Enjoy and Be BlessedLostlanternwhiskey.comBadmotivatorbarrels.com/shop/?aff=3https://www.instagram.com/zsmithwhiskeyandmixology?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==Lost Lantern Explores High vs. Low Proof in New Spring 2026 CollectionCurated pairings invite whiskey lovers to explore one of whiskey's emerging debatesVergennes, VT (March 10, 2026)—This spring, Lost Lantern the Vermont based independent bottler ofAmerican whiskey, turns its focus to one of the most spirited discussions in whiskey today: high proofversus low proof.While high proof whiskies, especially hazmat whiskies (those bottled at 140 proof or higher),have developed a true cult following among dedicated whiskey drinkers, many whiskey lovers have yet toencounter these intense, powerful whiskies. At the same time, a growing faction of whiskey enthusiasts aregravitating toward lower proof whiskies, embracing their balance and approachability.Lost Lantern'sSpring 2026 Collection is a nod to both movements.The Spring 2026 Collection was created in honor of Lost Lantern's newest flagship release: FarFlungBourbon 100 Proof, the first non cask strength whiskey in its award winning bourbon series. Painstakingly slow proofed to 100 proof, the whiskey is being released alongside the limited, cask strength Far FlungBourbon IV. The collection also includes eight cask strength single casks presented in four curated higher and lower proof pairings. Rather than declaring one style superior, the collection invites whiskey drinkersto explore how proofshapes aroma, texture, structure, and overall experience across styles and regions.The single casks include whiskies from three returning partners (Boulder Spirits in Colorado, Copperworksin Washington, and New Riff in Kentucky), as well as five new partners: Day's Defile in Idaho, MontgomeryDistilling in Montana, Dread River Distilling Co. in Alabama, ASW Distillery in Georgia, and Broad Branch inNorth Carolina.“As the industry evolves, we're seeing passionate camps emerge around proof,” said Nora Ganley Roper,co founder and Head Blender at Lost Lantern. “Some people seek intensity and power. Others prefer balance and approachability. We're not choosing sides: we love both higher and lower proof whiskies!Instead, we're exploring what each proof reveals about the whiskey itself and encouraging whiskey loversto make these comparisons for themselves.”“There is no perfect proof for whiskey,” said co founder Adam Polonski. ”It depends not just on thedistillery and the whiskey, but also on when andwhy you're drinking it whether you're enjoying whiskey on the rocks with friends,or slowly savoring a very high proof dram to close out an evening. Proof is just onepart of a whiskey's story, and this collection explores that.”

We're cracking open a New Riff Single Barrel from Kentucky Bourbon Festival 2025, signed by Master Distiller Brian and chosen as a  Distiller's Row pick. New Riff built its name on transparency and tradition, non chill filtered, bottled in bond releases, and a commitment to quality. This single barrel clocks in at 116 proof and delivers deep caramel, dried fruit, leather and earthy richness from nose to finish. But the bigger question we explore is this: when you're surrounded by incredible bourbon at a festival like KBF, how do you decide which single bottle gets the precious luggage space? We unpack what makes a single barrel special, whether blends are actually more reliable, and whether the market is starting to feel saturated with “single barrel” labels that don't always carry the same meaning. This one stood out not because it shouted the loudest, but because it felt balanced, layered, and genuinely unique.

Send us a textAfter trading allocated bottles from historic brands, and a question every bourbon fan wrestles with: when does hype outpace the pour? We put E.H. Taylor Bottled-in-Bond from the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection on the table after swapping out a Pappy 10 (Old Rip) and some cash to find out if the first-ever 100-proof BTAC earns its secondary price—or simply its place in history.We set the scene with why “first and only” matters here: not a one-time release, but the only bottled-in-bond in BTAC's lineage. Then we walk through the proofing journey, from 140 proof off the still, to 125 proof into barrel, to a composed 100 in glass, along with how water choice, temperature, and integration shape the final profile. With a massive 62 percent angel's share over 15 years and 4 months, the bourbon promises concentration, yet it prioritizes balance over brute force. On the nose, we pick up apple, maple sweetness, vanilla, caramel, and oak. The palate drifts from a quick black licorice flash to soft fruits and an elegant finish of brown sugar, cinnamon, and light pepper. The surprise is the mouthfeel—clean and approachable rather than the heavy oil and intensity BTAC fans expect from Stagg or WLW.That contrast leads to the big debate: is elegance at 100 proof a feature or a flaw in a lineup famed for high-octane hitters?  This is excellent at MSRP and a meaningful step up from standard E.H. Taylor bottled-in-bond, but a tough sell at eight times retail on the secondary market. If you love the Taylor profile and want a milestone bottle, it's a smart pick near retail. If you're chasing BTAC thunder, look toward Stagg or WLW. For those building value-forward shelves, we also highlight standouts like Elijah Craig Barrel Proof, Bardstown Bourbon Company releases, Ezra 7, New Riff single barrels, and reliable daily sippers when you can find them.Pour one, press play, and tell us where you land on rarity vs. flavor.

Jim and Todd are back together in the Bourbon Road bar for a tasting flight of five unique whiskeys, along with a roundup of the latest bourbon industry news. They kick off the night with the Brothers Bond Regenerative Grain Bourbon. This 92-proof, four-year-old expression is a four-grain blend of wheated and high-rye bourbons from 70 barrels hand-selected by founders Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley. The hosts find a pleasant nose of sweet cornbread that opens up on the palate to honey-glazed fruits like peach and pear with a nice oaky spice on the finish. Next up is the first-ever Cigar Blend Bourbon from Buzzard's Roost. The hosts discuss what defines a "cigar blend"—typically a rich, complex, and intense whiskey that can stand up to a cigar. This 105-proof, double-oaked expression delivers, with an intriguing nose of new leather and cinnamon toast. The palate reveals notes of toasted marshmallow, a wisp of smoke, sarsaparilla, and even black licorice, making for a whiskey with a broad spectrum of flavors perfect for pairing. The third pour is the highly anticipated Bardstown Discovery Series #13. This complex, 110.8-proof release is Bardstown's first double-barreled expression—a blend of four Kentucky bourbons aged 8 to 15 years, which was then split and finished for four months in both new American white oak and Hungarian oak before being married back together. The result is a masterfully balanced whiskey with a nose of toasty vanilla and crème brûlée that leads to a palate of honeycomb cereal, cherry, and an extra-long, slightly drying finish. For the fourth glass, they travel to Iowa for the Cedar Ridge Barrel Proof Bourbon. At 116 proof and an approachable price, this bourbon is crafted from a unique mash bill that includes 14% malted rye. This special grain shines through, softening the spirit and creating a surprisingly sweet profile with prominent notes of peaches and sweet tea. The tasting concludes with a "dark horse": Silver Spring Sweet Rye from J.W. Kelly in Tennessee. This single-barrel, 122-proof Kentucky rye drinks nothing like a typical rye. The hosts are amazed by its unique profile, which starts with a nose of fig and an effervescent lemon-lime quality. The palate is a delightful surprise, full of fruity notes like cherry and strawberry, along with cotton candy, cacao, and a hint of white pepper on the finish.
