Podcast appearances and mentions of Tennessee whiskey

Before bourbon hunting, whiskey influencers, and seemingly endless craft distillery openings, there were a handful of people willing to take a chance on an industry that barely existed.Phil Prichard was one of them.In this episode of Whiskey Rocks, Joel and Chris sit down with Phil Prichard, founder of Prichard's Distillery, to talk about building a craft whiskey brand long before craft whiskey was cool. From the early days of opening a distillery in Tennessee to navigating an industry that was still finding its footing, Phil shares stories, lessons, and the mindset that helped him turn a bold idea into one of the pioneering names in American craft spirits.Along the way, the conversation explores Tennessee whiskey, pot still distillation, the evolution of the whiskey industry, and what it's like watching today's boom through the eyes of someone who helped lay the foundation for it. Phil also reflects on the challenges of entrepreneurship, the importance of doing things your own way, and why some of the best decisions in life look a little crazy at first.Plus, Joel and Chris review Prichard's Tennessee Whiskey (86 Proof), compare it to classic rock albums, and put Phil through the Whiskey Rocks Lightning Round covering music, whiskey myths, time machines, and the wild ride of building a distillery before anyone knew if the craft whiskey movement would survive.Pour a dram, turn up the music, and join us for a conversation with one of the true pioneers of modern American craft whiskey.Whiskey Rocks.

Chad's got a new truck, a new boat, and a lot on his mind. The 2026 Ford F-250 Super Duty is built out and beautiful — Avalanche Gray, Bodyguard bumpers, Mickey Thompson tires, Lear topper, the works. Thank you Corning Ford. Now that that's out of the way, Chad goes somewhere unexpected. Black Springs. Growing up poor. Brown bag lunches with cold spaghetti between two pieces of generic wheat bread. Riding bikes until dark. Breakdancing with J.J. and Marcus and Corey on a piece of graffitied cardboard. A nail through the foot. A wood-burning stove. Government cheese. A mom working graveyard shifts at the Veterans Hospital in oncology while going to nursing school and still making it to every game. He talks about what that upbringing gave him. From humility, to discipline, faith, the fear of God, and what it means to be 51 years old, in the best shape of his life, doing exactly what he was put on earth to do. He talks about his dad. Twenty years this August. He's still talking to him. TChad doesn't have it all figured out. He'll be the first to tell you. But he knows where he came from and he's not ashamed of any of it. This Life Ain't For Everybody. This one especially.

Leiper's Fork's 8 year Single Barrel Cask Strength Tennessee Whiskey completely caught us off guard. At 121.6 proof and $85, this bottle delivers rich raspberry, chocolate mousse, deep barrel char, and layers of syrupy flavor that left us asking: is this one of the best Tennessee whiskeys we've ever had?DISCLAIMER: The whiskey in this review was provided to us at no cost courtesy of the spirit producer.

Back in 2020, I became fascinated with the story of the relationship between Jack Daniel and Nathan "Uncle Nearest" Green. I read Jack Daniel's Legacy by Ben A. Green (1967) and interviewed Jack Daniel's Historian Nelson Eddy and Uncle Nearest's Founder Fawn Weaver and then weaved the common tale surrounding these two Tennessee whiskey legends in Season 3 of Whiskey Lore. Then, in 2023, I began digging through archives in Georgia and Tennessee for my book The Lost History of Tennessee Whiskey and to my surprise, a very different picture of Jack and Nearest began to evolve.  In an effort to clean up some of my episodes that fell victim to marketing lore and oral tradition, it is time to reexamine the story of Jack and Nearest, to build a framework based on real documented history. And Whiskey Lore Speakeasy and Club 1897 members, make sure to check out Behind the Lore later this week to go even deeper in the myths and reality surrounding Jack and Nearest - exclusively on Patreon.com/whiskeylore.

Matt joins me to disucss one of my favorite spaghetti westerns, "The Hellbenders" directed by Sergio Corbucci. We also review tyhe new Nelson's Greenbrier Single Barrel Tennessee Whiskey. This is a wheated bourbon coming out of Nashville and the latest release out of Nelson's Greenbrier Distillery. Cheers!

Nine years ago, John Lunn and Allisa Henley set out to make the Tennessee Whiskey of their dreams at Sazerac's A.J. Bond Distillery. That plan was shattered when John Lunn died suddenly three years ago this month, but Allisa forged on with the backing of Sazerac. The first A.J. Bond whiskey will be released this summer, and Allisa Henley joins us with a preview on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news…a federal judge is expected to rule soon on the Uncle Nearest receivership case as the debt piles up, and a pair of rare casks of Karuizawa single malt set a new record for spirits sales at Christie's.

Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy light up the Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Year of the Duque and immediately get stuck on the most important question of all: how exactly do you pronounce it? Along the way, they break down the cigar’s rich, low-maintenance smoking experience, talk through notes of wood, char, cocoa, and spice, and debate whether a 5x48 stick at nearly eighteen bucks earns a place in the humidor. On the drink side, they crack open Jack Daniel’s Sinatra Select and ask the big question: Is the presentation, the pedigree, and the price tag worth it? There’s plenty of talk about banana on the nose, cherry, brown sugar, oak, and whether this Tennessee whiskey is a true splurge bottle or just a handsome box with a famous name on it. Also in the mix: birthday freebies at chain restaurants, the madness of modern tipping culture, mystery hotel fees, sleep advice from the internet, Fingers’ mullet era, and the kind of lounge conversation that somehow goes from cigars and whiskey to transcendental meditation and international politics without ever losing the thread.

Welcome back to your favorite daily comedy show, where we ask the hard-hitting questions like: Are all babies actually cute… or are we just lying to each other?Today's episode kicks off with a bold (and possibly career-ending) debate about ugly babies. Yes, we said it. Not every newborn looks like a Gerber model. Some look like tiny old men. Some look like they're mad at taxes. But as Moon wisely points out, the “ugly” ones sometimes grow up to be absolute stunners. It's science. Probably.Speaking of Gerber — the 2026 Gerber Baby Photo Search is officially back with a twist. This year it's not just about the baby's cute little face. Now they want to celebrate the parents too. Which raises the question: are we entering babies… or is this a LinkedIn networking event with bibs? There's $50,000 on the line for the little ones, so yes, stage parents, this is your Super Bowl.Then we roll into a full-blown Simpleton Trivia showdown — rapid-fire questions, 45 seconds, and just enough pressure to make grown adults forget what a rectangle looks like. Moon goes on a heater. Scott debates whether a thermostat counts as a thermometer. Jamie… well… chlorophyll had a moment. It's chaotic, competitive, and exactly what makes this daily comedy show such a disaster in the best possible way.We also dive into Jamie's over-the-top Nashville engagement story — complete with live band coordination, Tennessee Whiskey, a perfectly timed Hardy song, confetti cannons, and enough romance to make the rest of us question our own proposals. Meanwhile, Rizz prepares for his 20th anniversary and quietly wonders if he should've added lasers.There's coffee spills that rival environmental disasters. There's vacation planning to Mexico with full swim-up bar strategy. There's grown adults arguing over muffin timing. It's everything you want from a daily comedy show that thrives on real-life chaos, questionable takes, and a whole lot of laughter.This is The Rizzuto Show. It's messy. It's sarcastic. It's weirdly heartfelt.

Chad and Alex are back Breakin' It Down. It starts with Christmas cookies, work ethic, and modern-day eating habits… then somehow turns into a Mexico trip that might not happen, a baseball invite that gets declined, and a whole conversation about what's really going on out there. From travel and headlines to healthcare, insurance, and medicine, nothing's really off limits.

In this solo episode, Chad opens up about his experience with TKO and hormone optimization. He walks through why he started looking into peptides and TRT, what he was feeling before, and what's different now. More energy. Better recovery. Clearer thinking. A renewed drive in the gym and in everyday life. This isn't a sales pitch. It's Chad talking through the process. From the hesitation, the learning curve, and what he's discovered along the way. He connects it back to discipline, aging with intention, and refusing to accept “just getting older” as an excuse to coast. If you've ever wondered what hormone optimization really looks like from someone living it day to day, this one goes there.

Send us a textA single barrel Tennessee Whiskey with a blue label. We crack open Jack Daniels Single Barrel Heritage Barrel and follow the trail doubling Jack Daniel's standard toasting time to that unmistakable Tennessee smoothness, asking why this release hits sweeter on the tongue, flares pepper through the mid-palate, and settles into a tobacco echo that begs for a square of chocolate or a quiet cigar. Brian from Bottle2Bond joins us for a pour that turns skeptics into believers, spotlighting the difference toasted oak and maple charcoal filtering make without losing the Jack character fans love.We start with the signature banana-versus-not debate and move into the mechanics that shape it: non-chill filtration for texture, a lower entry proof for balance, and a quick, flare char that preserves the caramelized toast. Brian shares firsthand experience with multiple Jack Daniel's single barrels—mostly stellar, but not all of them—reminding us that single barrel means there will be small variations, but most of the time they are worth chasing. We also map the release details, pricing around $70, and why this line is meant to stay on shelves rather than vanish into hype.Beyond the glass, we dive into whiskey culture. Distillery tours that surprise, barrel picks that educate, and the Tennessee Squire Association—invite-only, rooted in heritage—show how community anchors the pour. Brian brings a maker's angle too, walking us through his Bottle2Bond travel whiskey glass built for real-world bottle shares: compact, tough, and discreetly measured so you can taste smarter. We wrap with our SIP method—shareability, influence, price and end with a confident recommendation for anyone curious about toasted oak, Tennessee tradition, and a finish that lingers with purpose.Pour a glass, press play, and tell us what you taste—banana, graham cracker, pepper, tobacco, or something we missed. If you enjoy the show, follow, share it with a whiskey friend, and leave a quick review so more listeners can find their next great pour.

Welcome back to the Bourbon Road! In this episode, your host Todd Ritter is flying solo while Jim takes a brief hiatus for Dry January. But don't worry—Todd isn't drinking alone. He has recruited two heavy hitters from the world of whiskey history and travel to fill the void and co-host a packed episode dedicated to the art of the distillery visit. Joining Todd in the studio is Drew Hannish, the voice behind Whiskey Lore and the author of the upcoming book Experiencing American Whiskey. With over 400 distillery visits under his belt across the United States and abroad, Drew brings a national perspective to the table. Also joining the conversation is Jerry Daniels, the owner and proprietor of Stone Fences Tours. A Kentucky historian and tour guide extraordinaire, Jerry offers an insider's look at the Bluegrass State's evolving tourism scene, from the big heritage brands to the craft innovators. The conversation kicks off with a deep dive into whiskey travel. Drew shares insights from his journeys, highlighting hidden gems outside of Kentucky. We discuss the "Land of Oz" vibe at Minden Mill in Nevada, the emerging scenes in Missouri and Texas, and why Pittsburgh might just be the next great whiskey destination. Jerry counters with his favorite Kentucky experiences, offering tips on how to navigate the trail beyond the standard tasting. The group discusses unique offerings like the "Science Tour" at Wilderness Trail, the archaeological digs at Buffalo Trace, and the party atmosphere at Whiskey Thief. The trio also tackles the current state of the industry. With rumors of market corrections and distillery closures swirling, our guests offer a grounded perspective on what is actually happening. Is the boom over, or is the market just normalizing? They discuss the shift in consumer demographics, the rise of "experience-based" tourism, and why history and craft will always keep whiskey relevant even as trends shift. Of course, it wouldn't be The Bourbon Road without a tasting session. Todd, Drew, and Jerry sample through three distinct expressions, analyzing the nose, palate, and finish of each. On the Tasting Mat: The Macklowe Collection Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey: A luxury release distilled in Danville, Kentucky. This High Corn recipe (75% corn, 21% rye, 4% malted barley) is aged for at least four years and bottled at 92 proof. The guys discuss the "confectionary sugar" sweetness, notes of honey candy, and the surprising mouthfeel of this newcomer to the scene. Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Heritage Barrel: A special Tennessee Whiskey release that utilizes heavy toasting and a low entry proof (100 proof) to create a unique profile. Aged at the top of the highest barrel houses in Lynchburg, this 100-proof pour sparks a conversation about "banana nut bread" notes, marshmallow cream, and how Jack Daniel's continues to innovate within its traditional framework. Penelope 10-Year Private Select: Part of the Estate Collection, this straight bourbon clocks in at 106.8 proof. It features an intriguing mash bill blend of corn, rye, malted barley, and a mysterious 1% wheat. The group breaks down the floral nose, the transition from leather and tobacco to fresh citrus, and the long, spicy finish that lingers like "pop rocks." Throughout the episode, the guys geek out on production details—from the science of yeast to the impact of barrel entry proof—and debate their personal rankings of the three pours. Tune in to hear their thoughts on travel, history, and which bottle stood out the most, without us spoiling the winner here!

Litchfield Distillery (Litchfield, CT) WF078 Join me as I enter New England as part of the Great 48 Tour. Today I chat with Peter Baker, a co-founder of Litchfield Distillery in Connecticut. Along with his two brothers they made a decision to expand beyond their three-generation family bottled water business and get into the world of whiskey. We'll talk talk about their development of an American single malt, their use of Connecticut grain, taste a couple of whiskeys including their oldest release to date. And we'll dig a little into the history of bottled water (no, it isn't a recent phenomena). We'll also hear the story behind their logo and tagline, and the importance of legislative changes that allowed them to offer tastings and on-site sales. And, if you'd like to gift a signed copy of Whiskey Lore's Travel Guide to Experiencing Kentucky, The Lost History of Tennessee Whiskey, or Experiencing Irish Whiskey for Christmas, make sure to order at whiskeylore.org/shop before December 12th to get them for a great low price and free shipping. Cheers and slainte mhath, Drew

Just four days earlier on November 7, the studio version finally hit all platforms after six years of relentless fan demand.Analytic Dreamz traces the song's journey: originally written by Bruce Robison in 1996, made iconic by The Chicks in 2002–2003 (platinum #1 hit until the 2003 radio ban), and reborn through Cody Johnson's 2020 lockdown livestream that exploded online. The 2022 acoustic YouTube upload has now surpassed 58 million views and 247K likes, with fans holding “Play Travelin' Soldier” signs at every show worldwide.From October 30, 2025, Johnson fueled the fire by reposting dozens of fan TikToks begging for the studio cut, sending speculation viral. The result: one of the most anticipated country releases of the decade, arriving alongside his current radio single “The Fall” climbing Billboard Country Airplay.Analytic Dreamz explores why this heartbreaking story of a young soldier and the girl he leaves behind still resonates globally, how Johnson's raw delivery has turned it into a modern classic alongside covers like Stapleton's “Tennessee Whiskey” and Combs' “Fast Car,” and what this dual release (studio + live Veterans Day video) means for CoJo's unstoppable 2025–2026 momentum heading into his massive Leather Deluxe Tour arena run and Stagecoach 2026.Stream the full segment now on Notorious Mass Effect with Analytic Dreamz – the definitive breakdown of Cody Johnson's “Travelin' Soldier” takeover.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Chad sits down with John Rich, this month's DemerBox Artist of the Month, for a deep conversation about the music business, creative freedom, and the fine line between success and significance. John talks about the birth of the Music Mafia, the rise of Big & Rich and Gretchen Wilson, and how Nashville's sound and politics have shifted over the years. He talks about staying authentic, honoring the flag, and writing songs that mean something, even when they ruffle feathers. We love how John Rich is unapologetically himself. He's outspoken, sharp, funny, and fearless. If you believe real country music still needs a backbone, this one's for you. This episode is presented by Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey and brought to you by Demerbox, Resistol, LEER, and Nappa Valley Olive Oil.

Chad's riding the high of a Texas trip you don't forget; good friends, legendary music, and a little time soaking up the kind of soul you only find in the Lone Star State. He breaks down the spots you gotta hit, the food worth chasing, and the feeling of sharing life and laughter with Jamey Johnson, a man who writes with pain, pride, and fire in his gut. There's singing, storytelling, and a whole lot of gratitude for this crazy life. Pull up a chair. Put your feet up. This one comes from the heart, and the honky-tonk. This episode is presented by Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey, Scoreboard Nashville, The Nashville Palace, Demerbox, and The Provider Culinary.

In this episode of Bourbon Lens, Jake and Scott explore how certain new whiskey releases capture a true sense of place — from the rickhouses of Kentucky to the hills of Tennessee. They start with the latest installment of the Russell's Reserve Single Rickhouse Collection from Wild Turkey Distillery, featuring barrels aged in the legendary Camp Nelson E rickhouse. Each release in this series reflects the unique environmental conditions that make individual rickhouses so special to the final flavor profile. The discussion also touches on the newest Hardin's Creek releases from James B. Beam Distilling Co., continuing the brand's innovative storytelling around age, terroir, and experimentation. Jake and Scott then take a deeper dive into the Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Special Release: Tanyard Hill Rye Whiskey, a bold new offering that clocks in at a remarkable 145.9 proof. They share their tasting notes and impressions on this powerhouse whiskey — and discuss what makes high-proof expressions both exciting and challenging for whiskey drinkers. The conversation turns reflective as they consider how a glass of whiskey can transport you to another place — whether it's tasting a barrel sample inside a rickhouse or enjoying a pour that vividly expresses its environment.

Chad and Alex are back and breakin' it all down! From the lost art of kids actually working for their fundraisers to how our personal info is floating around online. Chad learned what “drip” means (thanks to his daughter), and let's just say… the fashion feedback wasn't great. They get into cyclists, city chaos, and planning spring training trips, and somehow still find time to talk fights, bikes, and what's coming up this hunting season. It's the perfect blend of everything that makes Breakin' It Down what it is: raw, hilarious, and always a little unpredictable. This episode is brought to you by Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey, Leer toppers, Oakley Sunglasses, and Pecos Outdoor!

Chad sits down with Brett Fritz, the man who's built a reputation for asking the hard questions and diving deep into the stories most people stay away from. From global politics to media headlines, from social influence to free speech and Charlie Kirk, Brett brings his unfiltered takes and unapologetic curiosity to the table. The conversation gets wild, thought-provoking, and sometimes even a little uncomfortable, but that's what makes it worth hearing. You don't have to agree with everything he says to walk away thinking differently. That's the point. So sit back, keep an open mind, and get ready for a ride that'll make you question what you think you know. This episode is presented by Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey and brought to you by The Provider Culinary, Mickey Thompson Tires, Cowboy's Choice Horse Feed, Corning Ford, Bedslide, Oakley, and The Nashville Palace.

This week's Bourbon Boos review might be the scariest pour yet… Clifton cracks open a $16 bottle of King's Creek Tennessee Sour Mash Whiskey, a bottom-shelf mystery brand with no known distillery and a whole lot of red flags. Does it surprise him, or haunt his palate forever? But before the horrors begin, we've got MAJOR whiskey news: ✈️ Flaviar's $270 “FlaviAIR” Advent Calendar takes flight

In this episode, Chad sits down with Coach Jake McKinley from the University of Nevada, a coach who believes that sports are one of the best classrooms in life. From the dugout to the locker room, Jake's philosophy is simple: athletics build character, discipline, and leadership in ways that last far beyond the game. They talk about what it means to guide young athletes, how patience and honesty shape great teams, and why real coaching is about preparing people for life, not just competition. They even get into the little things that make a big difference, and why Jake swears by Lululemon for those who live an active lifestyle. It's a real, grounded conversation about mentorship, mindset, and the kind of lessons that stick with you long after the scoreboard fades.

Chad and Alex are back at it, and this one doesn't waste time. From the shine of car shows and riding motorcycles to the challenges of hunting big game, the guys cover it all. Alex lays down his love for motorcycles, while Chad pushes the conversation into the wild and back again. Then the talk turns to freedom of speech, the secret service, and the fallout of celebrating the wrong thing at the wrong time, Security, and the devastating loss of Charlie Kirk. It's important, and it's all on the table. This is Breakin' It Down at its core: funny, sharp, honest, a little reckless, and so important in today's world. This episode is brought to you by Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey, Leer toppers, Oakley Sunglasses, and Pecos Outdoor! Enjoy!

Brent Cobb is back for Part Two, and this one's all about the music. Chad and Brent dig into the craft: songwriting, influences, and details that show why Brent's one of the best of his generation. There's even a surprise influence of Brent's that may surprise you! Brent and Matt play “Shine On Rainy Day” live in the room, and it's flat-out incredible. This episode feels less like an interview and more like hanging out on the bus with a band at the top of their game. It's real talk, big laughs, and music that cuts straight to the soul. If you've never heard Brent sing live, prepare to be a lifelong fan. This episode is presented by Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey, and brought to you by DEMERBOX, Caesar's Palace and Entertainment, The Nashville Palace, Corning Ford, Mickey Thompson Tires, BedSlide, Napa Valley Olive Oil, Oakley Sunglasses, and ZLINE Kitchen & Bath.

Brent Cobb isn't just one of the best songwriters alive; he's one of the most genuine people you'll ever meet. In Part 1 of this two-part sit-down, Chad hangs out with Brent and his bandmates, Matt and Wade, better known as The Fixin's, for a conversation that feels less like an interview and more like a night on the bus after a show. They talk about the magic of playing music with your best friends, why Brent trusts his band so deeply, and why the best nights on stage are the ones that feel like a front-porch jam. There are plenty of laughs, some wild road stories, and even a phone call to Hayes Carll that takes a hilarious, unexpected turn. This is the kind of episode that reminds you why country music hits so hard when it's honest. If you want a glimpse of what makes Brent Cobb and The Fixin's so special, this is it. This episode is presented by Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey and brought to you by DEMERBOX, Caesar's Palace and Entertainment, The Nashville Palace, Corning Ford, Mickey Thompson Tires, BedSlide, Nappa Valley Olive Oil, Oakley Sunglasses, and ZLINE.

Part two picks up right where the first left off. Chad, AG Gregoroff, the man behind Toehold flip-flops, and UFC fighter Cody Stamann keep it real. They touch on everything from funny stories and what drives people to invest in ideas and brands. They break down how Toeholds are built to last when everything else wears out. These guys are proving that quality, grit, and a little audacity still mean something. It's another inspiring and hilarious episode you'll catch yourself replaying. If you thought part one was good, this is where it really feels like you're in the room, drink in hand, hearing stories that don't usually make the headlines. This episode is presented by Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey, and brought to you by Toehold Flipflops, Oakley Sunglasses, and Nappa Valley Olive Oil.

Ever wonder what a $500, or even a $5,000 flip-flop looks like? Chad sits down with AG Gregoroff, the founder of Toehold, and UFC fighter Cody Stamann to find out. This isn't your average footwear. Toehold is built for people who want the best, not the disposable. That mindset has put their sandals on the feet of names like Joe Rogan, President Donald Trump, Dana White, and now, Chad himself! (Thanks AG!) AG's story is unique and impressive. It's a one-of-a-kind climb that proves betting on quality and passion still matters. Add Cody into the mix, and the conversation only gets bigger. From mindset, hustle, and the kind of stories that stick with you, to maybe even changing how you are thinking about a dream you've been placing on the back burner. If you've ever thought about what it takes to build something bold enough to stand out, this episode will open your eyes! This Episode is presented by Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey, and brought to you by Toehold Flip Flops, Oakley Sunglasses, and Nappa Valley Olive Oil.

Join hosts Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter at the Corner Rick House for a powerhouse sample review show on The Bourbon Road. The guys are finally catching up on their sample backlog and are tasting four tremendous, high-profile whiskeys that listeners will not want to miss. From a coveted annual release to a unique cigar blend and a Mizunara-finished masterpiece, this episode is packed with incredible pours and the latest news from around the whiskey world. The tasting kicks off with one of bourbon's ultimate unicorns, the 2025 Old Forester Birthday Bourbon. This year's release is a rare departure, a 12-year-old sweet mash bourbon bottled at a surprisingly low 92 proof. The nose is classic Old Forester, bursting with what the hosts describe as "ooy cherry," walnut, and a distinct 12-year oak presence. On the palate, it's delicious and soft, with the cherry notes shining through alongside a pleasant, sweet cherry bubble gum character. Next up is the innovative Penelope Cigar Sessions. This is a unique American whiskey, a blend of straight bourbon, American single malt, and American light whiskey, crafted to be the perfect companion for a medium-bodied cigar. The nose is a fun contrast, with one host picking up sweet cotton candy and bubble gum from the light whiskey, while the other finds more bready, malty, and stewed fruit notes. The palate is a sweet and complex delight, with flavors of stone fruit, dried peach, chocolate, and a standout note the hosts creatively describe as a "candied peach on a grill." The third pour is a masterclass in blending and finishing: the Bardstown Bourbon Company Hokkaido Mizunara Oak Barrel Finish. This exceptionally complex whiskey features a blend of four different aged whiskeys—including 14, 15, and 18-year-old components from Kentucky and Tennessee—all finished for 28 months in Japanese Mizunara oak barrels. The nose is savory and intriguing, with notes of sassafras spice and the distinct aroma of new leather. The palate is a showstopper, a buttery, savory, and beautifully complex experience with notes of baked pear and Danish butter cookies that leaves the hosts speechless. The final glass holds the new Jefferson's Reserve Cask Strength. This is the brand's first cask strength release that hasn't been aged at sea, an 8-year-old bourbon bottled at a hefty 130 proof. The nose is surprisingly floral, with notes of cherry blossom that are both light and powerful. The palate is intensely sweet and memorable, dominated by bright maraschino cherry and a distinct amaretto-like nuttiness. Throughout the episode, the hosts also discuss the latest whiskey news, including new releases from Woodford Reserve, Blue Run, Jack Daniel's, Pursuit Spirits, and a new distillery café coming to Buffalo Trace. Stick around to the very end to hear Jim and Todd's final ranking and find out which of these incredible bottles was crowned the winner of the day.

As a historical researcher, one of the time periods I seem to have the least knowledge of is the history of this latest whiskey boom. As luck would have it, today I get a chance to dive into that history with someone who lived it. Meet Noah Rothbaum, the author of the upcoming book The Whiskey Bible: The Complete Guide to the World's Greatest Spirit. For 25 years, he's seen whiskey go from inconsequential in an era where whiskey trails were non-existent, to today's whiskey boom. Motivation that led to Noah getting into whiskey writing The landscape of whiskey at the turn of this century Mad Man myth or truth? Bourbon's domination of the American story, yet limited brands The rise of rye and craft The trip to St. Andrews and where Scotch whisky interest was at the time  The first distillery visit Canadian, Irish, Japanese, and the development of World whiskies.

Chad and Alex are back behind the mics, and it's the usual hilarious chaos. They tear into rap artists, lyrics, and what really holds up, before drifting into whiskey, exotic food, and backstage stories with Cody Cannon of Whiskey Myers. Hunting dinners, missing life's big moments, and what it takes to balance the grind with everything else all make their way into the mix. And then there's the car show. Alex thinks it's awesome, Chad thinks it's lame. But the funniest part is when Chad calls Alex out for never inviting him anywhere, while Chad invites Alex to everything. It's another raw, hilarious, and unfiltered episode that makes Breakin' It Down what it is.

Paralyzed and facing an uphill battle, he leaned on grit, faith, determination, and an unwavering love of the outdoors to fight his way back. His story is one of comeback, resilience, and refusing to let life define him. Chad and Drake talk about family, music, pain, healing, and the mindset it takes to push through when the odds are stacked against you. Drake's message is bigger than music. It's about living with purpose and inspiring others to rise above their own struggles. If you've ever needed proof that the human spirit can overcome anything, this is it.

Chad and Alex are back! This time they're tearing into the modern media mess like only they can. From doom-scrolling binges to Netflix specials, they get into: Are movies still as good as they used to be? Or have lower budgets and higher expectations killed the magic? They unload Adam Sandler's career arc. From the Happy Gilmore glory to whatever dropped last week that makes you laugh your butt off. The guys have their usual takes on old-school music that still hits the gut, laughs that sneak up on you, and enough cultural critique to light a bonfire. Chad and Alex don't tiptoe. They rip open how we consume media today and whether it's even worth buying a ticket to see the old rockstars still going hard. Pour that Jack, take a seat, and let's do this.
