This week on Chill Filtered, it's Bryan's birthday, and the celebration calls for something truly special: Old Forester Birthday Bourbon — the 2017 release. It's a pour worthy of the occasion, and Bryan even gets to open up a pretty awesome birthday gift on air. Before sipping, Cole and Bryan chat about dating apps, the famous marshmallow experiment in child psychology, and a few classic birthday reflections. It's fun, personal, and full of the usual nonsense you've come to expect. On Whiskey World News, Bryan shares details about Buffalo Trace's new Eagle Rare 12-Year release. And on “What Whiskey Would You Choose?”, he poses a fun dilemma: Would you rather have a whole bottle of a decently allocated whiskey or just one pour of an insanely rare unicorn bottle? Join the birthday party, pour something nice, and enjoy a big episode for a big day.

After a three-year hiatus, Bourbon Bytes is back with a brand-new season and a barrel full of whiskey news. Clifton breaks down the surprise announcement of Eagle Rare 12 — is it a smart move or an unnecessary twist? He also dives into the ultra-limited Remus Babe Ruth Reserve and some game-changing distribution news for Old Forester fans outside of Kentucky. Finally, he gives a sweet and spicy byte-sized review of Rock Hill Farms Bourbon — a rare pour that reminds him of home… and Krispy Kreme donuts. Short, sharp, and spirited — this relaunch is everything you've missed and more.

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.

In this episode of Drinks and a Movie, we're celebrating the beloved films turning 30 in 2025 by diving into the classic 90s comedy Heavyweights—a feel-good, laugh-out-loud gem that's as quotable as it is unhinged.Join us as we take a nostalgic trip back to Camp Hope, where a group of misfit campers take on the tyrannical Tony Perkis. But what's a movie review without the perfect drink pairing? This week, we're sipping on Old Forester Single Barrel, a bold and smooth bourbon that complements the campfire spirit of Heavyweights. With rich flavors of vanilla, oak, and a touch of spice, it's the ideal drink to enjoy while reminiscing about the chaos and comedy that ensue when kids get control of the camp snack table.Tune in as we break down the nostalgia, humor, and heartfelt moments of Heavyweights and discuss what makes this movie still so special today, all while savoring the distinctive notes of Old Forester Single Barrel.Grab your favorite drink, hit play, and let's get into the movies that turned 30!

We came to the realization that we haven't covered a lot of the more generic "corporate" whiskey on this podcast, so we decided to change that! On this episode we dive into Basil Hayden, Buffalo Trace, Ezra Brooks 99, and Old Forester 100. We sip them, we talk about them, we compare them, and we rate them -- all in one episode! We do the hard work, so you don't have to. Cheers!

It has been a while but the guys bring you this week a good old fashioned duel of Double Barrel between two ten year bourbons.Old Forester 1924The Whiskey Row Series' 1924 10 – Year – Old is a limited annual release celebrating another milestone in Old Forester's storied history.During Prohibition, more than 200 distilleries were forced to close. Old Forester, however, continued operations because the federal government issued us one of six medicinal licenses, P-3. In 1924, Old Forester acquired barrels from closed distillers, with different mash bills, and bottled that liquid as Old Forester. This release commemorates that moment in time.Jack Daniel's 10 Jack Daniel's 10 Year Old Tennessee Whiskey highlights the modern day world-class whiskey expertise of their Distillery while honoring their past, and with a nod to Mr. Jack's original bottles includes its age stated on the label as their Distillery did more than a century ago.It has been around 120 years since the Jack Daniel Distillery offered a whiskey labeled as ten years of age or greater. But for the past decade they've been experimenting to create a whiskey that would honor the liquid Mr. Jack crafted at the end of the 1800s while keeping up with the growing demand for their whiskey around the world.

In this episode of The Spill, Matt and Jason dive into a controversial New York store pick that was supposed to be 11 years old… but wasn't.We break down:How this pick blew up on the secondary marketThe age statement “mistake” that raised red flagsWhether this was a shady move or a genuine slip-upAnd of course… how the damn thing actually tastes#OldForester #WhiskeyScam #BarrelPick #Bourbon #WhiskeyDrama #ArsenicCulture #WhiskeyTube #LiquorStorePick #BourbonControversy #thespillhttps://www.youtube.com/@arsenicculturehttps://instagram.com/arsenicculturehttps://tiktok.com/@arsenicculturehttps://www.facebook.com/arsenicculture/https://x.com/arsenicculture

In January of this year, Old Forester brought back the "extra old" 117 series offering. This is the second time this style of bourbon has released since the start of the 117 series. Essentially, this bourbon is similar to Old Forester 1910 which is one of our favorites. The key differentiating factor is the time the bourbon rests in a secondary toasted oak cask. 1910 is aged for 7-9 month and "extra old" is aged in the secondary cask for up to 18 months. The result? Give us a listen to find out. --------------------------SocialsIG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupkyFB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupkyTW: https://twitter.com/themashupkyPartnership(s)Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUPVisit https://woodworkcollective.shop and enter code MASHUP for a 15% discount on your orderMusic: All the Fixings by Zachariah HickmanThank you so much for listening!

The origin story of Spiritless begins deep in Kentucky Bourbon country, where the trio of co-founders initially bought large quantities of Old Forester at their local Total Wine, while enlisting the services of a sump pump to help power their early experiments. Alongside her two other co-founders, Lauren Chitwood's brand journey dates back to before the pandemic, and in those early days they sought to craft a brand and liquid that would come to resonate with those seeking moderation.In this episode we talk with Lauren on a variety of topics, including: The company's role in the evolving landscape of drinking habits, and how they've always focused on appealing to those moderating, not just abstaining. The "full circle" moment of seeing the product on Total Wine shelves after the initial Old Forester experiments purchased from the same store. How Lauren and her co-founders are grappling with whether to enter the THC-infused beverage space, which brings with it many regulatory and distribution considerations. The experience of being a female-founded brand in a male-dominated spirits industry, and why they would much rather talk about being data-driven entrepreneurs.Mentioned in this episode:SpiritlessTotal Wine & MoreWe'd love your feedback!

We are back for round 2 of the discussion of Pot still vs Column. This time we get deep into congeners and phenols. It went off the rails, as always. Hope its freaking scratching that Nerd itch. Badmotivatorbarrels.com/shop/?aff=3 https://www.instagram.com/zsmithwhiskeyandmixology?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw== Hinterhausdistilling.com Texaswhiskeyfestival.com Liquor.com / Sarah Maiden Without distillation, liquor couldn't exist. Distillation is the process by which the alcohol present in a fermented liquid is separated and then concentrated. It's done by heating the liquid and then cooling the vapors, condensing them into a highly alcoholic spirit. This all works because ethanol evaporates at a lower temperature than water.  The device used in this process is called a still. Over the centuries, stills have evolved from rudimentary fire-heated pots to towering, industrial machinery. To make liquor today, distilleries primarily use two different types of stills: pot stills and column stills. These two methods of distillation operate based on the same fundamental principles but produce spirits with noticeably different qualities.  Here's everything you need to know about pot stills vs. column stills. • Pot stills are large pot-shaped stills that are usually made of copper and distill spirits on a batch-by-batch basis. • Column stills include at least one tall cylindrical column. They can be operated continuously and produce spirits more efficiently. • Generally speaking, pot stills create richer and more flavorful spirits while column stills are preferred for more neutral spirits. Liquor.com / Laura Sant What Is a Pot Still? The oldest and most straightforward method of distilling a spirit is batch distillation, more commonly known as pot distillation. This style of distilling uses a large pot-shaped still to produce a spirit. Pot stills are usually made of copper and have a very wide base that tapers vertically into a thin neck. These stills are filled with a fermented alcoholic liquid that is derived from an agricultural product like grain, sugar cane, or fruit. This low-ABV liquid, known as the wash, is then heated. “Alcohol and other volatiles that boil at temperatures lower than water can be removed when heated to near boiling,” explains Dr. Pat Heist, chief scientific officer and co-founder of Wilderness Trail Distillery.  “It is the distiller's control of [the] heating and condensing process that allows for the development of a desired flavor profile.” –Chris Morris, master distiller emeritus at Old Forester and Woodford Reserve  The vapors that emerge from the pot as the liquid heats up are collected, then cooled and condensed into a distillate right off the pot. They can also be further processed through a series of rectifying plates that result in higher proofs, and the distillate is often distilled a second time to achieve the desired concentration of alcohol. “It is the distiller's control of that heating and condensing process that allows for the development of a desired flavor profile,” says Chris Morris, master distiller emeritus at Old Forester and Woodford Reserve. Pot distillation isn't the most efficient way to create alcohol, mainly because it operates on a batch-by-batch process. “A pot still is filled, heated, emptied, and then filled again,” says Morris. Despite their inefficiency, pot stills produce spirits that are often renowned for their rich flavors and aromas.

I'll be the first to say it, this one might not be for everyone. Today we talk about the Brown Forman Cooperage closure and the links to the FDA ruling for new warning labels on whiskey. THIS IS MY OPINION AND ONLY THAT. Hope that it opens your eyes a bit. Because it did mine. No sponsors on this one. I don t want my opinions to any way affect them. But Check out https://youtube.com/@mywhiskeyden?si=DvGDaZ-57wj06x9p January 14, 2025 Brown‑Forman Announces Series of Strategic Initiatives for Growth Company To Restructure Globally, Louisville Cooperage To Close LOUISVILLE, KY – Brown‑Forman Corporation (NYSE:BFA,BFB) announced today a series of strategic initiatives to position the company for continued growth in the dynamic global spirits market. These initiatives include restructuring the executive leadership team, implementing a workforce reduction affecting approximately 12% of the company's global workforce, and closing the Louisville-based Brown‑Forman Cooperage. “In 2025, Brown‑Forman celebrates 155 years of delivering Nothing Better in the Market. We have achieved this impressive milestone in part because of our relentless focus on evolving our strategy, our portfolio, and our organization to grow and thrive,” said Lawson Whiting, President & Chief Executive Officer. “Today's announcement will ensure we have the structure and teams in place to continue on this path, while also making investments that we believe will facilitate growth for generations to come.” Workforce Reduction To enhance operational efficiency and agility, Brown‑Forman has made the difficult decision to reduce its global workforce by approximately 12% of its 5,400 employees worldwide. Brown‑Forman is deeply committed to supporting departing employees with comprehensive transition agreements that include severance, outplacement services, and other benefits to help them through this career change. This organizational evolution will simplify and streamline Brown‑Forman's structure, allowing it to become a more agile and efficient organization and reinvest in the capabilities, technologies, brands, and people that will drive future growth. Brown‑Forman Cooperage Closure Brown‑Forman will close its Louisville-based barrel-making operation, Brown‑Forman Cooperage, by April 25, 2025. This closure, which will impact approximately 210 hourly and salaried employees, is part of the overall 12% workforce reduction. Brown‑Forman will offer severance, outplacement services, and benefits consistent with their terms of employment.  Moving forward, Brown‑Forman will source barrels from an external supplier to ensure a steady supply of the same high-quality barrels at a competitive price. Collectively, these actions are projected to deliver approximately $70 to $80 million in annualized cost savings, a portion of which is expected to be reinvested to accelerate growth. In addition, the company will receive more than $30 million in proceeds in connection with the sale of the cooperage assets. The company expects to incur approximately $60 to $70 million in aggregate charges for severance and related costs associated with the workforce reduction and cooperage closing.  Brown‑Forman.com.

Old Forester recently released their newest offering in the 117 series to celebrate Repeal Day. Coming in at 95 proof and carrying an 11 year age statement, this liquid was matured in a heat cycled warehouse (Warehouse "I" to be exact). This, it is not your standard offering from Old Forester. While this bourbon was created for Repeal Day, we thought it would be good to crack on Christmas Eve. Join us this week as we talk about last minute shopping, taste and review this bourbon, and also discuss the best of 2024. Also, Anthony debuts a very special rendition of "Jingle Bells" to ring in the holiday season. -------------------------- Socials IG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupky FB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupky TW: https://twitter.com/themashupky Partnership(s) Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUP Visit https://woodworkcollective.shop and enter code MASHUP for a 15% discount on your order Music: All the Fixings by Zachariah Hickman Thank you so much for listening!

Bourbon has a rich history but if you're drinking bourbon right now, you're not doing it because you just found out that a new category like single barrel was created. There are many moments that have now defined modern bourbon culture that have exponentially grown the category in the past 20 years. In this episode, Ryan, Fred, and myself come with a list of moments that we dive into and give our thoughts on what this meant. Some things we hit on are the high-end releases of Willett and the Antique Collection that spur super enthusiasts, how Maker's made national headlines from a proof change, and how social media has changed the landscape forever. Show Notes: Above the Char with Fred Minnick (@fredminnick) talks about the future of Bardstown Bourbon Company. What did Four Roses do to help build bourbon? What started the hyper whiskey geek attitude? What special releases changed the landscape of bourbon? How did Brown Forman take Woodford and Old Forester and resurrect the brands? Did the proof debacle from Maker's make a big moment? When did the bourbon media or message boards start making an impact? How did secondary markets on facebook boost the category? Do we feel something like Mad Men was a pivotal moment? Pappygate took national headlines How was Marianne being named the first woman master distillery play a role? What lawsuits defined it?
