In this episode of The Bourbon Road, Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter return for Part Two of their deep dive into Lost Lantern's 2025 Summer Collection — and this time, it's all about the rye. The duo tastes through a curated lineup of four standout rye whiskeys, plus a bonus pour, delivering flavor notes, backstories, and some playful banter along the way. The tasting kicks off with Far North Spirits from Minnesota, a 4-year-old rye clocking in at 111.5 proof. It impresses with grain-forward notes, minty freshness, and a candy-like sweetness that evolves into a spicy finish — evoking everything from Melba toast to black licorice jellybeans. Next is the return of Fray Ranch from Nevada with a 6-year, 118.6-proof rye that blows both hosts away. With tasting notes of mint chocolate chip, brandy-like fruit, and a chocolate-dipped finish, it emerges as a strong contender for favorite pour of the episode. Colby and the Fray Ranch team continue to prove why their farm-to-glass model is producing truly unique and exceptional whiskey. The episode is peppered with exciting bourbon news, including: The upcoming release of Heaven Hill's Grain to Glass Kentucky Straight Rye (Batch 2) The return of Elijah Craig and Larceny barrel-proof expressions Jacob's Pardon Collective Series — a 16-year-old whiskey finished in 50-year-old Oloroso sherry casks Upcoming limited releases from Old Forester, Chattanooga Whiskey, Boone County, and New Riff As always, Jim and Todd keep it real, sharing not just tasting notes but honest opinions about value, availability, and flavor.

In this week's episode of The Bourbon Road, Jim and Todd settle into the Bourbon Road Bar with four exciting pours—all part of Lost Lantern's 2025 Summer Collection. Known for spotlighting unique, independently bottled whiskeys, Lost Lantern returns with a compelling lineup that champions estate distilleries—those growing their own grains and crafting whiskey that truly reflects a sense of place. The hosts dive headfirst into these new expressions, starting with a robust 118.1 proof bourbon from Whiskey Acres in DeKalb, Illinois. With a mashbill of yellow dent corn, wheat, and malted barley, this 5-year-old expression surprises both hosts with its rich character and memorable finish. Jim and Todd recall their past blind tasting with Whiskey Acres and reaffirm its standout quality in today's tasting. But this episode isn't just about tasting notes—it's about exploring what estate distilling means for the future of American whiskey. The hosts discuss how companies like Lost Lantern are leading the charge in showcasing distilleries that prioritize heirloom grains, sustainable practices, and unique terroir. Jim notes how commercial grains have drifted toward mass production, often at the expense of flavor, while Todd highlights how estate distillers are turning the tide. Listeners also get an insider's look at: The philosophy behind Lost Lantern's curation Why estate-grown grains matter in today's whiskey Upcoming bottles from Russell's Reserve, Old Forester, and Buffalo Trace And how the bourbon industry is evolving thanks to distillers like Freddie Noe and innovators like Lost Lantern With plenty of banter, tasting impressions, and thoughtful industry analysis, this episode is part one of a two-part journey through eight total samples from Lost Lantern's newest release. Whether you're a seasoned whiskey lover or just curious about craft expressions that go beyond the big names, this episode delivers a flavorful and informative ride. So pour a glass, settle in, and join Jim and Todd as they explore bold new frontiers in American whiskey—one barrel at a time.

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.

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.

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!

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.

What happens when a liquor store claims they landed the oldest Old Forester barrel pick ever — and then quietly walks it back? 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.
