This week, Big Chief heads to the Texas Hill Country to visit Greg Standard, founder and owner of Standard Cooperage, the first full-scale cooperage in Texas. From towering white oak logs to finished barrels, Greg pulls back the curtain on one of the oldest and most important crafts in the whiskey industry.   Before the conversation begins, Big Chief takes listeners on a brief journey through the history of the barrel, from its origins with the ancient Celts and Romans to its evolution into the 53-gallon American Standard Barrel that has become the cornerstone of bourbon and American whiskey. It's the perfect setup for an episode dedicated to the people who still build barrels by hand.   Greg shares his journey from engineer to cooper, what inspired him to establish Standard Cooperage, and why having a Texas cooperage is a game changer for the state's rapidly growing whiskey and wine industries. Together, they discuss wood selection, natural seasoning, raising a barrel, toasting, charring, and why every detail matters when crafting a barrel capable of producing exceptional whiskey.   During the first half of the episode, Greg and Big Chief sip on a Maverick Distillery Bourbon, while the second half features a Still Austin Cask Strength Bourbon. Both Texas distilleries are beginning to harness the craftsmanship and innovation of Standard Cooperage barrels, making these pours a perfect complement to the conversation about the future of Texas whiskey.   In This Episode   • A brief history of the whiskey barrel • Greg Standard's journey to founding Standard Cooperage • From oak log to finished barrel • How toast and char shape a whiskey's flavor • Why Texas-made barrels are changing the whiskey landscape • Maverick Distillery and Still Austin's use of Standard Cooperage barrels • The future of Texas coopering and American whiskey   Whether you're a whiskey enthusiast, a distiller, a barrel geek, or simply curious about what transforms new make spirit into exceptional whiskey, this episode offers a fascinating look inside one of the most respected crafts in the spirits world.   Like, subscribe, and share this episode with your fellow whiskey lovers.   Keep taking the Ride!  

A single drop of water can either unlock the hidden soul of a bourbon or flatline its flavor entirely. In an industry where collectors often focus more on the label than the liquid, understanding the chemistry of the "tame and maim" is what separates the enthusiasts from the experts. We sit down with resident authority Russ Kempton to break down why the market is finally shifting back in favor of the consumer.We get into a head-to-head comparison between the legendary Buffalo Trace and the bold, high-heat maturation of Still Austin's Bottled-in-Bond Red Corn. The conversation covers the tactical reality of Texas whiskey production, the legal requirements for "straight" bourbon designations, and the trilogy of tasting: proof, oak, and cereal grains. Russ also explains the molecular fracturing that occurs during aeration and why your "uneducated palette" might be missing notes of marzipan and stone fruit.The unglamorous truth is that whiskey aging is at the mercy of the elements; a barrel in the Texas Hill Country loses nearly triple the "Angels' Share" compared to one in Kentucky, drastically changing the cost and intensity of the final pour. You'll walk away from this episode with a system for grading your own shelf and a clear warning on how to avoid "killing" a high-proof spirit with too much ice.

On this episode of Chill Filtered, Cole and Bryan pour a rare-ish Texas bourbon that's been getting some buzz: Still Austin Tanager. Before getting into the review, the boys chat about the ever-thrilling world of taxes, some fun blind tastings they've been doing, and the story behind Still Austin Whiskey Co. — including what makes the distillery stand out in the growing Texas whiskey scene. On Whiskey World News, Bryan reads about Heaven Hill Distillery releasing a 13-year bourbon to honor their Deatsville campus, a bottle that's already catching the attention of bourbon fans. And on “What Whiskey Would You Choose?”, the boys ask a question that might get a little heated: What's the worse offense — chill filtration or artificial coloring? Texas bourbon, whiskey nerd debates, and a little tax-season therapy — it's another fun one.

This week on The Whiskey Trip Podcast, Big Chief sits down with Emiliano A. C. Guajardo, Head Distiller at Still Austin Whiskey Co., and Samantha Olvera, Distiller at Garrison Brothers Distillery, for a conversation that runs far deeper than what's in the glass. This episode is about whiskey, yes, but it is also about identity, roots, and the Mexican and Hispanic heritage that helped shape Texas long before bourbon ever flowed through oak. Emiliano and Samantha share their personal journeys, family stories, and what it means to carry that heritage proudly while helping shape the future of Texas whiskey. Throughout the conversation, all three sip on multiple expressions from both Still Austin and Garrison Brothers, using each pour as a doorway into deeper discussion about craftsmanship, patience, place, and the responsibility that comes with putting your name and culture behind a bottle. Big Chief guides the conversation through culture, history, and responsibility, what it means to represent not just a brand, but a people, a legacy, and a future generation watching from behind the scenes. They talk about breaking barriers, honoring those who came before them, and how Texas whiskey is finally telling its full story, in its own voice. The glasses are filled, the laughs are honest, and the moments are real. This is not a surface level interview. It is a reminder that whiskey has always been about more than grain and barrel, it is about who you are, where you come from, and what you choose to pass on. Pour one, slow down, and Take the Ride. This is a conversation worth hearing all the way through. 

In “Trade, Taste, and the Evolving Tale of Texas Whiskey,” Gravy reporter Evan Stern visits the Lone Star State to get a taste of a growing movement: Texas whiskey. Given the importance of saloons in cowboy culture and western mythology, one might think Texas whiskey has a long and storied history. But though Texans have always had a fondness for the demon drink, as a legal industry, Texas whiskey is barely even twenty years old. Despite this youth, however, its growth has been explosive. While as recently as 2010, the state claimed a mere two whiskey distilleries, that number now hovers around sixty and is growing. Yet as makers like Still Austin, Balcones, and Garrison Brothers have garnered awards and drawn national attention, its identity is still being discovered and remains challenging to define. In an increasingly saturated market, one also can't help but wonder: Is Texas whiskey on the cusp of something big, or will it bust? Through visits to two “grain to glass” distilleries, Stern learns of the industry's origins from Dan Garrison. The first licensed whiskey maker in modern Texas, Garrison tells of the challenges he faced aging bourbon in the torrid Hill Country and how his process has matured since his days as an early pioneer. Gravy also hears about the challenges regional distillers have faced in distinguishing their brands in a saturated market from sommelier Daniel Whittington, while Kentucky-based spirits author Fred Minnick argues that Texans' openness to experimentation has helped shift the flavor narrative of American whiskey. Illustrating this is John Evans who, in a move that could be considered unorthodox, has chosen to use oats in a mash bill he developed himself. A fifth-generation farmer, he opened Wilson Valley Mercantile on his family's historic property after thinking: “Why not make corn worth more by selling it as whiskey?” Featuring spirits distilled from grains raised entirely onsite, he shares his journey as an independent upstart.  In these conversations, Gravy asks questions about process and flavor, while exploring how Texas's emergence reflects the American craft movement and pondering what its future could mean for the drinking world as a whole.

In this cask-strength conversation with spirits judge, educator, and master blender Nancy Fraley, some of the topics we discuss include: Nancy's journey to spirits blending, from Harvard Divinity School, to maritime law, to her apprenticeship under the legendary brandy maker Germain Robin. The story of the first Cigar Blend Bourbon (developed, of course, by Nancy) and how she weaves together factors like fermentation style, maturation humidity, cask finishes, and more to achieve the elusive flavor note known as rancio. A crash course in blending theory, which draws on architectural and corporeal metaphors to describe how to build flavor profiles in barrel-aged spirits Why the terms “master distiller” and “master blender” have become watered down in recent decades, which underscores the importance of humble practice day after day, year after year, in the pursuit of world-class distillates. We also explore the tension between the intellect and the instinct in spirits blending, using Nancy's experiences to illustrate how and when to let the wisdom of the body triumph over the chaos of “monkey mind” and the dance of contingency. Along the way, we divulge the connection between French brandy and rotting pheasant, trace the story of an all-but-forgotten yeast strain, share how you can sign up to taste some of the rankest, most flawed distillates in Nancy's “Nosing for Faults” class,  And much, much more. This episode was made possible with editing and sound design by Samantha Reed, whiskey blending insights and some delicious pours brought to you by Nancy Fraley, and support from The American Distilling Institute.

Martelle, Mike, and Randy kick things off with an OHLQ single barrel honey barrel from Starlight Distilling in Indiana—only to find out, like most OHLQ picks, it wasn't great.

Ryan stopped by Still Austin and just "had" to pick up one of Nancy's picks.

Man oh man i'm so excited to bring this episode to y'all. Today we have Jason with Still Austin Whiskey. We had a great conversation about the brand and the spirit. Lets get into it. Have you checked out our sponsors yet. Badmotivatorbarrels.com/shop/aff=3 https://www.instagram.com/zsmithwhiskeyandmixology?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw== Patreon.com/the_whiskeyshaman Stillaustinwhiskey.com It all started in 2012.  Cleveland Seals was looking for a post-retirement project to occupy his time and had the wild idea to start a whiskey distillery.  Cleveland shared his dream with his son, Chris, and asked for his help. Chris —a longtime economist and risk manager— knew all too well how difficult it would be to bring his Dad's dream to life.  Looking at the risks, Chris thought that the chances of success were pretty low, but he liked the idea of spending time with his dad, so he suggested to Cleveland that they do a “feasibility study.”  The supposed “study” would ostensibly determine the chances of success in starting an Austin-based whiskey distillery, but secretly, Chris's real plan was just to spend time with his dad, get him settled into retirement, and after having a lot of fun, decide not to actually do it. Over the course of the next year, that is exactly what Cleveland and Chris did. The two traveled together, visited whiskey distilleries, and had a lot of fun drinking whiskey together. Prior to this “study” the father-son duo rarely talked with one another, but they soon found themselves talking every day.  And not just talking about business.  After a few whiskeys they were talking about everything -- even their feelings!  As Chris says, “it was the best thing that ever happened to me and my dad.” Then, as fate should have it, in 2013 state laws in Texas changed.  The changes made it easier to open a craft Bourbon distillery in Texas, and also made it likely that a Texas Whiskey category would emerge.  Having devoted a year to studying the market, the two realized they just might be at the right place at the right time.  They assembled a team of local farmers, whiskey experts, local artists, and crazy co-conspirators — and together with the support of their whole community, Still Austin Whiskey Co was born.   The distillery broke ground in 2014 and began distilling in 2017 (yes, it took three years to build this special distillery).  In 2020, Still Austin's first straight bourbon whiskey was released.  Over the past decade, Cleveland and Chris discovered the power of believing in a special future - especially for someone you love.  Cleveland's dream came to life as an authentic Texas whiskey, made from grain to glass in Austin, Texas.  Together we make whiskey for everyone: the musicians, the visionaries, the lovers, the scientists, the oddballs, the artists, and the everyday dreamers.   Everybody knows that really great whiskey HAS to come from Kentucky, right? And everybody knows bourbon HAS to come from Bourbon County, right? Right? Everybody is wrong. The truth is great whiskey can come from anywhere, and great bourbon can come from anywhere in the United States (as long as you follow the rules). Dozens of fantastic whiskeys have popped up over the last few years from all over the world, even from places as far away from the U.S. as Australia. As whiskey making has grown more popular, people from all over the world have learned how to make great whiskey, and Texas is leading the way.

My old friend Jordan joins the show for the first itme to discuss the amazing ride that is Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino's Grindhouse!

Still Austin sent us some of their flagship bourbon, named "The Musician." Directly from them: "Our new Straight Bourbon, affectionately known as “The Musician”, is made from 100% Texas-grown corn, rye and malted barley. It's the distillation of all we are, and of all that has created us—an expression of true Texas terroir. Like our home city, this bourbon is inclusive and original. It took a combination of Southside pluck, oak-aged patience, slow-water reduction, and good old-fashioned ingenuity to bring this spirit to life—along with the help of one very special 42-foot tall woman, “Nancy,” our one-of-a-kind Scottish-made still. For us, this whiskey represents so much that is good in this world. It's inspiration and togetherness, community, and creativity."
