Randy Mosher joins me to discuss his just released book “Your Tasting Brain” which covers the complex science of taste, flavor, aroma, mental models and practical tasting. You can find show notes and additional episodes on my blog here.

Danny Polise, Founder and Master Blender of Penelope Bourbon, joins Jake Lewellen and Scott Dilley for a long-overdue Bourbon Lens catch-up — five years after his last appearance on the show. In this episode, Danny walks through how Penelope Bourbon has grown from a three-product lineup into a full portfolio spanning the Cooper Series finishes, light whiskey single barrel picks, ready-to-pour cocktails, and the brand-new Kentucky-made Classic Series.The crew talks through Penelope's expansion since the MGP Luxco acquisition, why the light whiskey releases took off with drinkers, and how ready-to-pour flavors like Apple Cinnamon, Peach, Black Walnut, and Blackberry fit different seasons and serving styles. Danny then unveils the Classic Series — a straight Kentucky bourbon and a straight rye (built from Indiana 95.5 and 51.49 rye stock) aimed at everyday drinkability at accessible price points. Jake and Scott give their first taste impressions of both 92-proof expressions, breaking down notes of citrus, orange candy, vanilla, and light herbal spice in the rye.The conversation wraps with a deep dive into Danny's blending process, how he moves through inventory faster today, and how Penelope balances consistency with experimentation across its barrel and tank combinations — plus a look at how the Architect Series became the golf-themed Golf Series concept.⏱️ EPISODE CHAPTERS00:00 – Reintroducing Danny Polise after five years01:56 – Cooper Series & the MGP Luxco acquisition04:43 – Why Penelope's light whiskey took off09:01 – Tasting through the full lineup11:25 – Ready-to-pour cocktails & seasonal flavors16:00 – Barrel experimentation & smoked Old Fashioneds17:13 – Introducing the Kentucky Classic Series20:31 – Building the rye blend & sourcing Kentucky barrels25:19 – Danny's evolved blending process30:17 – From Architect Series to the Golf Series36:55 – Tasting notes: Classic Series bourbon & rye41:46 – Wrap-up and see you next time

Note: As a reminder, Rumcast Reserve bottles are officially available in stores and shipping from our online retailer! You can grab your bottles here.You can watch the video version of this episode on YouTube.This is an episode that's been months in the making. After our Rumcast Reserve project, Main Rum Company put together a mystery box of old and rare cask samples that they promised would wow us. Thanks to U.S. customs, it took nearly a year for us to actually get our hands on the samples, but once we finally did we can definitively say they did not disappoint. They were some of the finest rums we've ever tasted.For an extra bit of fun, we decided to try our luck at guessing their origins. This episode shows you how we did, all in real time, followed by a ranking of our personal favorites at the end. Here's a look ahead at what we tasted:1992 Pampero aged for 34 years in ex-bourbon and ex-Scotch malt whisky casks, 42.3% ABV1989 (or 1991?) Caroni aged 34-37 years in an ex-rum cask, 45.4% ABV, TMC8 mark1983 blend of various Hampden and Long Pond marks (including DOK, HGML, CH, H, HLCF, LPS, and STC♥E), full aging details not revealed, 48.6% ABV, listen for more detailsBlend of Barbados, Jamaica, and Guyana rums with an average vintage of 1990, though rums from '82, '83, '86, and '89 are also in the blend, 48.9% ABV1989 Guyana (Uitvlugt Port Mourant) aged for 37 years in ex-bourbon and ex-Scotch malt whisky casks, 56.7% ABV1984 Clarendon (MMW mark) aged for 42 years (including 34 at origin) in an ex-rum cask, 59.7% ABVThese were all cask samples from Main Rum Company, so everything is cask strength and single cask. Have a listen, and see how wrong we were!

What if the difference between "just water" and an unforgettable tasting experience came down to total dissolved solids, source, and treatment? In this Five Minute Fridays episode, Bourbon Lens turns a glass of water into a side-by-side flavor experiment that will change the way you think about hydration, bottled water, and even bourbon tasting.Host Jake teams up with Kelly from Louisville Water to compare Louisville Pure Tap against three well-known bottled waters — Dasani, Evian, and Gerolsteiner — using the same look, sniff, swirl, sip method water professionals use in the lab every day. Along the way, you'll hear why Dasani reads as a stripped-down, basic profile with just 30 total dissolved solids, why Evian feels "fancy" with its mineral-rich spring-water character, and how Gerolsteiner's natural effervescence brings a completely different mouthfeel to the glass.You'll discover:How total dissolved solids (TDS) shape water's taste and feelWhy source water and treatment matter more than most people realizeThe difference between tap water, spring water, mineral water, and premium bottled waterHow Louisville Pure Tap's TDS of 240 compares to spring water giant EvianA simple at-home water tasting method you can try with friends and familyKelly also explains why Louisville Water runs taste tests in the lab every day, and why the goal isn't finding a "best" water — it's understanding the story inside each glass. If you've ever dismissed tap water as plain, this episode shows how much character, geology, and craft can live in something as simple as a sip.Perfect for bourbon fans, curious tasters, and anyone who enjoys a quick, low-stakes experiment that makes an everyday ritual feel surprisingly new. After this one, you may never look at a glass of water the same way again.Chapters:00:00 Introduction to Water Tasting01:14 Tasting Dasani – Basic Bottled Water02:53 Tasting Evian – Spring Water03:49 Tasting Gerolsteiner – Natural Mineral Water04:45 Tasting Louisville Pure Tap05:23 Exploring Water's Story and Flavor Profile

Tasting blind is the only unbiased way to determine the best items on our shelves. This past spring, the Whiskey Hotline undertook a companywide blind bourbon tasting tournament to determine the best bourbon on our shelves without bias. Expert spirits staff from each of our 46 stores were brought together for a multiple round blind tasting that included 64 unique bourbons. We narrowed it down to 16, then tasted the top 4, determining the 4 best bourbons on our shelves tasted blind. This week on Barrel to Bottle we got to taste the top four. Angel's Envy Bourbon Port Barrel Finished Bourbon Noah's Mill Small Batch Bourbon Clark & Sheffield Original Barrel Proof Bourbon Maker's Mark Cask Strength 7-Year-Old Bourbon If you have a question for the Barrel to Bottle Crew, email us at comments@binnys.com, or reach out to us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

There were only 24 bottles of this rare Swiss wine left in the world. Then Angus and Carlos opened one.In this episode of Got Somme, Master Sommelier Carlos Santos and Angus O'Loughlin explore the fascinating world of rare and allocated wines. Does limited production genuinely signal exceptional quality, or is scarcity sometimes little more than a clever sales technique designed to create FOMO?Carlos reveals how wine allocations work inside the world's best restaurants, including why venues may receive only one or two bottles of legendary wines such as Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. He also explains how relationships with distributors, purchasing history and global demand determine who gets access to the most sought-after bottles.The pair then taste an experimental Swiss Merlot from Ticino, supplied by Daniel of Invidia Wines. With the winemaker having passed away and production ending, this bottle represents a genuinely finite piece of Swiss winemaking history.https://invidiawines.com/ https://www.instagram.com/invidia_wines/Episode chapters:00:00 Only 24 bottles remain01:04 Carlos reveals his Swiss connection02:07 How wine allocations create FOMO03:58 Does scarcity automatically mean value?05:09 Why restaurants refuse tiny allocations07:04 Carlos's smallest-ever wine allocation09:05 What it takes to access Romanée-Conti11:15 The true cost of securing DRC13:27 Are some allocated wines overrated?14:46 Australia's undiscovered small-production wines16:04 Discovering Swiss wine16:32 Why Ticino is famous for Merlot17:18 The story behind this incredibly rare bottle18:07 Tasting the experimental Swiss Merlot18:46 Carlos's tasting notes19:12 Final verdict#GotSomme #SwissWine #RareWine #AllocatedWine #WinePodcast #MasterSommelier #TicinoWine #Merlot #WineTasting #DRC #RomaneeConti #AustralianWine

Head north to Old Chatham in the Hudson Valley with us for another walk-and-talk adventure — this time at Silver Brothers Distillery, set on a beautiful former sheep farm with rolling hills, open vistas, and serious "old money" energy. Host Mat Zucker sits down (and walks around) with founder Matt Greitzer — yes, two Matts for the price of one — who traded 25 years of NYC marketing and advertising for full-time farm life and a whiskey business named after his twin sons.Matt G. gives us the full grain-to-glass tour: the milling room, the mash tun, an echoey barrel room holding 610 barrels, and the difference between a hammer mill and a roller mill (it matters more than you'd think). We get into what makes New York whiskey distinct, the Empire Rye designation, why Matt's rye is naturally gluten-safe, and how climate shapes flavor from the Hudson Valley to Kentucky to Scotland. Then it's tasting time: the American Single Malt, the three-year rye, and the very limited Single Barrel Rye #8 — plus new vocabulary for your next tasting room visit, including "grapefruit pith" and "distiller's beer."

Can Master Sommelier Carlos Santos identify an Australian Sauvignon Blanc completely blind?In this episode of the Got Somme Blind Wine Tasting Series, Angus O'Loughlin pours Carlos a youthful and aromatic white wine filled with classic Sauvignon Blanc characteristics.Carlos immediately discovers a pale straw colour, slight spritz and a pungent nose packed with asparagus, gooseberry, green apple, lemon and passionfruit. On the palate, he finds high acidity, warm alcohol, savoury notes and no obvious oak influence.He correctly identifies the grape variety, vintage and almost the exact alcohol percentage, but can he identify where in Australia it was produced?The wine is revealed as the 2025 Bunderra Estate Sauvignon Blanc from Blackwood Valley, Western Australia.Angus and Carlos compare the wine with the more intensely aromatic Sauvignon Blanc styles of Marlborough, the mineral and restrained wines of Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, and the Bordeaux-inspired Sauvignon Blanc blends commonly produced in Margaret River.They also explore whether Australian Sauvignon Blanc is entering a new era, moving beyond the aggressively herbaceous styles that dominated the category during the 2000s and finding a more balanced Australian identity.Is Blackwood Valley one of Australia's most underrated Sauvignon Blanc regions?In This EpisodeWatch the full blind tasting to see how close Carlos gets.How to identify Sauvignon Blanc in a blind wine tastingClassic Sauvignon Blanc aromas and flavoursAustralian versus New Zealand Sauvignon BlancMarlborough Sauvignon Blanc compared with SancerreSauvignon Blanc from Blackwood Valley, Western AustraliaWhy slight bubbles can indicate a youthful white wineIdentifying oak, acidity and alcohol during a blind tastingMargaret River's connection to Bordeaux-style winesWhether Sauvignon Blanc is making a comeback in AustraliaDeveloping a uniquely Australian Sauvignon Blanc styleEpisode Chapters00:00 A seriously pungent wine00:18 Analysing the colour, bubbles and appearance00:37 Asparagus, gooseberry and passionfruit aromas01:04 Tasting the acidity, alcohol and texture01:20 Carlos makes his grape variety call01:53 Guessing the vintage02:02 The wine is revealed02:23 Discovering Blackwood Valley03:06 Marlborough versus Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc04:04 Bunderra Estate Sauvignon Blanc04:14 Finding the middle ground between France and New Zealand04:53 Margaret River and Bordeaux-style Sauvignon Blanc05:29 Is Sauvignon Blanc returning to favour?06:28 What should Australian Sauvignon Blanc taste like?Australian Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc blind tasting, Master Sommelier blind tasting, Carlos Santos Master Sommelier, Got Somme podcast, Bunderra Estate Sauvignon Blanc, Blackwood Valley wine, Western Australian wine, Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, Sancerre wine, Pouilly-Fumé, Margaret River Sauvignon Blanc, Australian white wine, wine tasting tips, how to blind taste wineSubscribe to Got Somme for more blind wine tastings, honest bottle reviews and conversations exploring the people, regions and stories shaping the world of wine.

The Mondavi name remains one of the most recognizable names in American wine. But the Mondavi family hasn't been involved with Robert Mondavi Winery since 2004.This week, we sit down with Robert Mondavi's grandson, Brian Mondavi Borger, to hear what happened and how his family rebuilt after losing the winery that helped put Napa Valley on the world stage.Brian shares what it was like growing up inside an iconic wine family, the lessons his grandfather passed down, and why wine should bring people together instead of making them feel intimidated.We also explore the creation of Continuum Estate, the rugged mountainside vineyard on Pritchard Hill, and Tim Mondavi's 50 years of winemaking.Then we taste Novicium, a limited-production, estate-grown Cabernet blend priced around $200.

In this episode of Five Minute Fridays, Jake Lewellen breaks down the Wild Turkey Austin Nichols Archives Gold Foil, a limited-edition 16-year-old, 120-proof whiskey that pulls straight from Wild Turkey's 1980s and '90s heritage. This one's a nostalgic throwback dressed up in a bold, high-proof finish — and Jake puts it to the test.Jake walks through the nose — confectionery sugar, leather, dark oak, and cherry — before diving into the palate, where intense oak, stewed cherry, and spice build into a smooth, leathery finish. He talks through why letting this one open up matters, how it stacks up against Russell's Reserve 13 Year and the 45th Anniversary edition, and the influence Associate Master Blender Bruce Russell had on shaping this release.Then comes the real question: is $400 justified for this bottle? Jake gives his honest take on where Gold Foil lands in the broader Wild Turkey lineup, how it fits into his top whiskey picks for 2026, and whether the nostalgia factor is enough to carry the price tag.In this episode:Heritage and origin of the Gold Foil 16 Year releaseFull nose-to-finish tasting breakdownValue debate: does this bourbon earn its $400 price point?Head-to-head comparison with Russell's Reserve 13 YearBruce Russell's role as Associate Master BlenderWhere Gold Foil ranks among Jake's top releases of 2026We want to hear from you — what's your favorite Wild Turkey release?

In this episode of Whiskey Lens, we step into the world of bespoke, age-old Scotch whisky with James Mackay of Artisan Cask (Artisanal Spirits Company). From rare drams to the art of private cask ownership, this conversation unpacks how exclusive cask experiences can elevate your entire whisky journey — and what it actually takes to own one.James shares stories from his years in premium Scotch, including one of the rarest pours of his career: a 52-year-old grain whisky that sold at auction for $20,000. We dig into the unique profile of the Mortlach 1991 Artisan Cask No. 304590 — its natural cask strength, craftsmanship, and surprising approachability for bourbon drinkers — along with why cask re-racking and multi-stage maturation matter so much for building complexity.The conversation also covers:What it's actually like to own a private cask — sampling, aging decisions, and bottle deliveryThe social and personal side of ownership, including exclusive events and communityRegionality and terroir in Scotch, with real examples from Islay, Speyside, and beyondHow cask type — sherry vs. bourbon — shapes flavor over timeThe right glassware for tasting high-end Scotch, and why presentation mattersScotch's growing role in cocktail culture and pairing ideasA deep dive into Bunnahabhain 1989 and long-maturation complexityPeated Islay whisky and how peat profiles evolve over decades of agingWhat it takes to actually partner with Artisan Cask — minimum investment, entry pricing, and the full processWhether you're a Scotch collector, a whisky-curious bourbon drinker, or just fascinated by how the ultra-premium end of the spirits world works, this episode is packed with insider knowledge you won't find anywhere else.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction to Whiskey Lens and guest James Mackay00:45 Overview of Artisan Cask and bespoke cask ownership01:30 James Mackay's background and experience in premium Scotch03:00 Highlighting rare whiskies, including a 52-year-old grain whisky auction04:40 The story behind the auction-winning whisky and its significance05:15 Tasting notes and profile of the Mortlach 1991 Artisan Cask06:57 How non-typical casks create unique flavors08:00 Artisanal Spirits' approach to cask selection and individual character10:40 The nose and palate of the Mortlach cask and approachability for bourbon drinkers11:26 The ownership process: sampling, aging, and bottle logistics12:54 Ownership intimacy: tasting samples and choosing bottling time14:26 Personal stories about cask ownership and its lasting impressions15:50 Tasting experience and glassware preferences16:42 Exploring Bunnahabhain 1989 and complexity from long maturation18:36 Cask management and secondary maturation processes20:18 Impact of re-racking and depth of whisky development22:42 Specifics on cask types: refill bourbon, sherry, and their influence24:38 Pairing whiskey with desserts and cocktails25:28 The social aspect of ownership: exclusive events and community26:38 High-net-worth audience and the premium experience27:09 Scotch in cocktails and regional diversity31:03 The nuances of peated Islay whiskies and aging effects34:01 The uniqueness of a special peated Islay cask36:14 The evolution of peat profiles over long aging periods38:27 Using cask-strength Scotch in premium cocktails39:20 Choosing a "desert island" cask for endless refills48:01 The partnership process with Artisan Cask: minimum investment and next steps50:21 Entry point and pricing details for exclusive cask ownership53:19 Final thoughts, thanks, and future meet-ups

Why This Episode MattersThe Guys taste ʻŌkolehao, a nearly lost Hawaiian spirit made from kī root, and explore its unusual history and revival.Why Michelin retired its Green Star—and why judging sustainability is far more complicated than judging what arrives at the table.The economic problem facing bars devoted exclusively to non-alcoholic cocktails.A simple way to uncover better bottles and better values when restaurant wine-list prices are climbing.The BanterMark Pascal and Francis Schott welcome two of their favorite guests: each other.Longtime listener Kelvin sends the Guys bottle number 125 of 150 from an early release of Ola ʻŌkolehao. They taste the Hawaiian spirit, find notes reminiscent of Scotch and Irish whiskey and dig into its history from its roots in Native Hawaiian culture to its disappearance and modern revival.Naturally, a discussion of spirits aged while being agitated at sea gives Mark an opening Francis never sees coming.The ConversationThe Guys begin with Michelin's decision to retire the Green Star. Recognizing restaurants for responsible sourcing and sustainable practices may be admirable, but Francis and Mark question whether such broad claims can be verified with the same confidence as food, service and the guest experience. That leads to a larger debate about Michelin's expanding reach, changing standards and whether professional restaurant critics still matter in the age of online reviews.Next, they consider the wave of mocktail-only bars and why so many have struggled to stay open. Both believe serious non-alcoholic drinks belong on every good cocktail list, but Mark questions whether a venue serving only zero-proof cocktails can compete economically with restaurants, traditional bars and coffee shops already serving the same audience.Finally, Francis shares a useful restaurant wine hack discovered in Aspen. When the bottle list starts at an uncomfortable price, look at the wines offered by the glass. Ask how many glasses the restaurant pours from a bottle and whether you can order a full bottle of one of those selections. You may find a more interesting wine at a substantially better price.Mark then reveals he has been using essentially the same strategy with pizza since the 1980s.Timestamps00:00 Tasting the revived Hawaiian spirit ʻŌkolehao05:35 The history, disappearance and return of ʻŌkolehao12:15 Why Michelin retired the Green Star16:25 Is Michelin diluting its restaurant standards?19:00 Can mocktail-only bars survive?26:20 Rising restaurant wine prices and the by-the-glass bottle hack31:20 Mark's remarkably similar pizza hackInfoOla ʻŌkolehao Distillery https://thespiritofhawaii.com/Restaurant Guys' Regulars https://restaurantguysregulars.buzzsprout.com/If you want a chance to get two tickets to our Bourbon, Beer & Beefsteak and live recording with Sother Teague and Jack McGarry in New Orleans on July 21, 2026,sign up to be a Restaurant Guys Regular (our paid subscribers) here  https://restaurantguysregulars.buzzsprout.com/ Then email TheGuys@restaurantguyspodcast.com.

Episode 509 takes us to the heart of Latvia to meet Dace and Māris Plūme, the husband-and-wife team behind Mr. Plūme, an award-winning orchard cidery known for both still and naturally sparkling ciders. Their journey began with a chance taste of homemade cider that inspired Māris to train in Normandy and Austria before returning home to help shape Latvia's growing fine cider movement. Along the way, they explain why still cider deserves a place alongside sparkling cider, how heirloom apples define their work, the role of wild fermentation, and why patience is one of a cider maker's greatest tools. Ria also shares the latest News from Out and About Ciderville, including updates on CiderCon 2027, eCiderNews, GLINTCAP, orchards around the world, and this fall's French Cider Tour.

"Everyone gets cancer five times a day — your body already knows how to take care of it." Sam Bertram is the co-founder and CEO of OnePointOne, the vertical-farming company behind the Willo brand. With his brother John (CTO), Sam is building fully automated indoor farms — powered by AutoStore robotics, AI, and precision LED light — that grow nutrient-dense produce in about 15 days, with no soil and no sunlight. But the vision goes far beyond salad: using plants as living factories to manufacture pharmaceutical-grade molecules (like monoclonal antibodies) at a fraction of today's cost, and eventually "closing the loop" on human nutrition — food grown to your own blood work. *Reduce your risk of Alzheimer's with my science-backed protocol for women 30+: * https://go.neuroathletics.com.au/yout...
