This week on Oil & Whiskey, we're joined by Heath and Jeff of Murray Kustom Rods.The guys made the trip from the Dallas/Fort Worth area to talk about the road that led them into building cars at a high level, from sport trucks, paint and body work, choppers, race cars, and early custom work to the kind of full builds Murray Kustom Rods is known for today.We get into their current Lincoln project, what it takes to build something with Riddler-level expectations, how a shop grows through the hard seasons, and the reality of keeping a team together while still pushing the quality of the work forward.Heath and Jeff also talk about sheet metal work, developing young talent, the difference between just getting cars done and actually building something special, their Roadster Shop connection, burnout, work ethic, and why sometimes you have to be just a little too stubborn to quit.Plenty of shop stories, industry talk, and custom car chaos in this one.

What happens when life forces you to start over?This week on Old Man Strength, Chris Shipley and Aaron Wall sit down with Melissa Merrifield—entrepreneur, marketing leader, founder of the Des Moines Whiskey Festival, and the self-proclaimed "Biz Boss."Melissa shares the defining moments that reshaped her life and career, from burnout in corporate America and personal adversity to taking ownership of life's toughest lessons and building a thriving business rooted in authenticity. It's an honest conversation about resilience, leadership, second chances, and why your greatest setbacks can become the foundation for your greatest successes.If you've ever wondered what comes after life's biggest challenges, this episode is for you.Sponsored by Styled by JJ Boutique, Jenny Farrell RE/MAX Concepts, Iowa Beef Steakhouse, and Revelton Distilling Company.LIVE from the AKC Andrew Downs Studio.

Sam Filmus started importing whiskies into the United States in the 1990's, bringing Signatory and Edradour whiskies to thirsty Americans. Over the years, his ImpEx Beverages has added brands like Kilchoman, the Glenallachie, Ardnamurchan, Nc'Nean, and M&H to the range. Five years ago, he added his own independent bottlings of world whiskies under the ImpEx Collection label, with each annual edition focusing on a specific theme. We'll talk with Sam about the impact of tariffs, his company's history, and taste a couple of his whiskies on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, Sazerac makes another play for Brown-Forman, and a major distributor of whiskies and other spirits enters Chapter 11 bankruptcy. 

What happens when bourbon culture collides with America's pastime? In this episode of Bourbon Lens, we sit down with Walter of Whiskey Thief to unpack the brand's partnership with the Louisville Bats at Louisville Slugger Field — a collaboration redefining what experiential bourbon looks like.We dig into the "Backstop" branded experience zone bringing whiskey tastings into the ballpark, how Whiskey Thief makes bourbon approachable for first-timers, and the local storytelling behind touches like the Mashers jerseys. Walter also breaks down the shift in stadium concessions from beer-only to story-rich spirits experiences, scaling barrel thieving events, and navigating distillation innovation and compliance amid headwinds like the bourbon surplus.Whether you're a bourbon obsessive, a baseball fan, or just curious how craft spirits brands are finding new platforms to connect with consumers, this conversation is packed with insight on branding, direct-to-consumer growth, and the future of experiential bourbon.Timestamps:00:00 – Introduction to Whiskey Thief's innovative stadium partnership 02:06 – The significance of the Louisville Bats collaboration for brand exposure07:30 – Using the "Backstop" as a branded experience zone for whiskey tastings10:20 – Bringing whiskey cuisine and vibe to sports fans unfamiliar with whiskey12:43 – Bourbon history and homage through local branding like the Mashers jerseys13:50 – The cultural shift in baseball from beer to diverse experiential offerings16:50 – Expanding Whiskey Thief's presence in Louisville and its strategic growth19:14 – Unique barrel thieving experiences and storytelling for consumers22:34 – Maintaining growth while staying true to the brand's roots amid industry headwinds 24:54 – Logistics and innovation around the distillation process and compliance28:16 – Addressing bourbon surplus and the value of experiential consumption30:12 – Personal stories of barrel tasting and the appeal of accessible, story-rich products32:01 – Recommendations for travelers: Whiskey Thief as a must-visit spot for bourbon fans34:25 – The future of distillery tours, automated systems, and unique product releases37:49 – The importance of innovation, compliance, and community engagement in the industry39:47 – Upcoming opportunities at baseball games and bourbon festivals to experience Whiskey ThiefResources & Links:Louisville Bats: https://www.milb.com/louisville-batsWhiskey Thief official website: https://whiskeythief.com/Bourbon & Spirits Innovation: https://www.spiritsbusiness.com/SubscribeSubscribe for more weekly discussions, tastings, and bourbon insights from the Bourbon Lens community.

The hiatus for the rebooted 3WHH is over! We got the band back together, and to further paraphrase the political philosophy of the Ellwood brothers, it's 70 minutes to the end of this podcast, we've got a full glass of whisky, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses. Just like Anthony Fauci in his glam cover shot for In Style magazine back in 2021.Most of our changes are cosmetic, and it it still a work-in-progress, but the two main new features on display this week is a short "cameo" appearance from a slate of contributors we're signing up, and responding to the best reader/listener question. This week's cameo is from Alex Priou of the University of Austin, who has some definite opinions about The Odyssey. Two main topics are on our mind this week: the mendacious Dr. Fauci, and what pathways for legal redress might still be open despite President Biden's pardon. Second, we spend some time discussing the "republican guarantee clause" of Article IV of the Constitution, which is usually overlooked, and thought to be non-justiciable, if not in fact a nullity, similar to the 9th Amendment. We take up this question because of Glenn Reynolds' mischievous suggestion on his Substack that President Trump might be able to invoke the clause to justify sending federal authorities into states with high potential for vote fraud. Here's the key passage from Glenn's article:"So if President Trump announces that we have uncovered massive electoral fraud — as he almost certainly will — and that he is dispatching huge numbers of federal election watchers to oversee voting and counting in areas where fraud has occurred, he would be acting directly under a power that the Constitution has vested in him. For a state to have a “republican form of government,” it must have meaningful elections, and elections that are rigged are not meaningful. Stopping them from being rigged would be protecting a republican form of government.  Congress has passed other election laws, mostly for reasons of combating race discrimination, but those aren't strictly applicable to these circumstances. . ."Could make for some fun times!

Forget the rules. According to Tim D. Philips, Global Brand Ambassador for Johnnie Walker, whisky isn't about how you're supposed to drink it—it's about how you enjoy it. In this interview, he explains why experimentation beats tradition, reveals the classic whisky cocktails people get wrong most often, and shares why the future of whisky belongs to curiosity, not convention.Líbí se Vám tento díl?

This is part 2 of a 2 part conversation…  In part 2 of a two part conversation on the Whiskey, Jazz, and Leadership Podcast, host Galen Bingham talks with Dr. Deb Clary (founder of the Clary Group and author of The Curiosity Curve) about leaders needing a broad “toolbox” and the dexterity to use the right approach for each situation. Clary shares how raising two daughters revealed different needs for support and autonomy, shaping her practice of asking teammates how they like to be led. She contrasts transactional, rule-driven culture at Frito-Lay with Coca-Cola's more relational approach, and explains why bold, genuine questions drive growth, coaching, and leader development. She cites research linking curiosity to higher retention, job satisfaction, and engagement, emphasizes trust as a prerequisite for bolder questions.   Keep the conversation going inside the Whiskey, Jazz & Leadership VIP Room.

Send us Fan MailOne great bourbon story can change your whole drinking life, and Ed Blake's starts with a bottle he avoided for years. After a bad early run-in with bourbon, he returns to it later through a Pappy Van Winkle 15 and suddenly the rabbit hole opens. From there, we follow the real path from enthusiast to trusted palate: learning how to taste, learning how to talk about flavour, and learning how to help other people find what they actually like. Ed (Rising Tide Spirits) shares how barrel picks and community feedback sharpened his selection skills, including the practical reality of tasting barrels in winter, when whiskey can show harsher edges before it warms up. We also get into what it's like building brands as a non-distiller producer, how Old Stubborn came to life through a strong distillery relationship, and why he's committed to small production and high quality instead of chasing shelf space. Then we go deep on rye whiskey, especially MGP rye. We unpack the dill pickle note that turns some drinkers off, how fermentation timing can influence it, and why longer aging often brings more caramel sweetness, richer oak, and a smoother balance. If you're curious about Old Swagger, Old Stubborn, premium bourbon packaging, or what separates a hype bottle from a genuinely great pour, you'll leave with a clearer buying compass and a better vocabulary for your own palate. Subscribe for more whiskey conversations, share this with a rye or bourbon friend, and leave us a review with the best bottle you've had this year. What tasting note instantly makes you want another sip?We sit down with Ed Blake of Rising Tide Spirits and trace the real steps from bourbon fan to respected barrel picker and brand builder. We dig into how he sources and blends Old Stubborn and Old Swagger, why his packaging is part of the experience, and what he's learning from rye whiskey as the market shifts.  • Ed's early bourbon misfire and the moment Pappy brings him back  • Building a whiskey community and learning through shared pours  • The liquor store “help a shopper” moment that turns into a job  • How private barrel picks create trust and demand  • Sourcing as an NDP and why winter barrel samples can mislead  • Designing premium packaging that matches premium whiskey  • Staying small by choice while releases sell out fast  • Rye whiskey education, MGP dill notes, and how age softens them  • Barrel aging plans in Kentucky and a teased higher-aged release  Remember, we're the Scotchy Bourbon Boys, www.scotchyburbonboys.com for all things scotchy bourbon boys.

This week on the Bourbon Bytes podcast, we're wrapping up July with a shorter episode packed with whiskey news, AI controversy, celebrity whiskey moves, and a bourbon review with a meaningful story behind it. The 15-month U.S. tariff on Scotch is officially over, but will bottle prices actually come back down? Then we look at CASKD AI, a new whiskey-focused artificial intelligence tool built for Scotch enthusiasts, collectors, market valuations, and bottle research. Beyoncé is also making a major move in the whiskey world by taking full ownership of SirDavis American Whisky after originally launching the brand with Moët Hennessy. Does this mean more SirDavis releases are coming? We also cover new releases from Bib & Tucker, Dancing Goat Distillery, and Bulleit, including a bottled-in-bond bourbon, older MGP-sourced whiskey, American single malt, and the new Bulleit '87 bourbon-and-rye blend. Then it's time for a Byte-Sized Review of Locke + Co Big Blaze Bourbon. This Colorado-finished Kentucky bourbon supports firefighters and first responders, with 10% of sales benefiting Grand County, Colorado. The whiskey is finished with charred Aspen discs sourced from the East Troublesome Fire area, creating a story-driven bottle with toasted oak, vanilla, muscadine grape, bitter chocolate, and sweet vanilla finish. Small correction: I accidentally refer to the brand as “Locke + Key” in the audio, but the correct name is Locke + Co.

This week on The Whiskey Trip, Big Chief heads to Iron Wolf Ranch & Distillery in Spicewood, Texas, to sit down with CEO and President Jordan Watters. Jordan shares the story behind one of Texas' fastest-growing craft distilleries, the vision that built Iron Wolf, and why Texas whiskey continues to make its mark across the country.   The first half of the episode features Iron Wolf's High Rye Bourbon, where Big Chief and Jordan discuss the bold spice and balanced sweetness that define the pour. They then move to Iron Wolf's Rye Whiskey, comparing the two expressions while talking about mash bills, flavor development, and the craft behind great whiskey.   In the second half, the conversation shifts to Iron Wolf's popular HotScotch, featuring rich butterscotch flavors that have made it a fan favorite. They finish with Iron Hot, a bold and spicy spirit that perfectly showcases Iron Wolf's adventurous approach to crafting unique products.   Whether you're a longtime whiskey enthusiast or just discovering Texas spirits, this episode is full of great stories, exceptional pours, and plenty of laughs. Pour yourself a glass, settle in, and Take the Ride.  

This is part 1 of a 2 part conversation…  In the season ten kickoff of the Whiskey, Jazz, and Leadership Podcast, host Galen Bingham reconnects with his former Coca-Cola North America manager, Dr. Deb Clary, founder of the Clary Group and author of “The Curiosity Curve”, for part 1 of a two-part conversation about curiosity as a leadership discipline and how better questions improve decisions. Dr. Clary recounts her career from Frito-Lay route driver to leadership roles at Coca-Cola, Brown-Forman, and Humana, earning a doctorate in leadership development, launching Humana's Leadership Institute, and researching curiosity's relationship to leadership performance and culture. They also touch on her 2005 dissertation findings that women tend toward purpose-driven transformational leadership, men toward results-driven transactional leadership, and that C-suite leaders need both.   Keep the conversation going inside the Whiskey, Jazz & Leadership VIP Room.

The first Let's Make It a Double chain of Season 11 closes with Bob's Pick, The Wild Robot, one of his favorite animated films of the last few years, and a first-time watch for guest and five-time co-host Lee Diaz of ReserveBar. The whiskey pairing is Heaven Hill's Bernheim Original Wheat Whiskey, a category the show has barely explored. The conversation about what The Wild Robot does spectacularly well and where it fumbles is one of the sharper animated-film breakdowns of the run so far.For longer episodes and special bonus content, consider joining our Patreon for as little as $3/mo!Film & Whiskey InstagramFilm & Whiskey FacebookFilm & Whiskey TwitterEmail us!Join our Discord server!For more episodes and engaging content, visit Film & Whiskey's website at www.filmwhiskey.com.

This week on Oil & Whiskey, we're joined by Spencer and Jean of Arizona Rod Shop.Spencer and Jean made the trip from Arizona to talk about the shop's path from paint and collision work into full custom hot rod builds, how their friendship started through a C10 part, and how Arizona Rod Shop has grown into the shop it is today.We get into Spencer's deep C10 and squarebody obsession, the Arizona Rod Shop truck “farm,” the little factory details most people miss, and how that knowledge carries into the builds they take on now.The guys also talk about blending old-school craftsmanship with new-school technology, from Pullmax machines, English wheels, and metal shaping to 3D scanning, reverse engineering, 3D printing, Roadster Shop chassis, and high-end drivetrains.We also cover customer expectations, building the right vendor relationships, why not every project is worth taking on, OBS trucks, Pro Street making a comeback, the future of automotive content after Discovery Channel, and plenty more.

Episode 121 After eight episodes, Foretold: Australia's Whiskey Au Go Go Fire comes to its dramatic conclusion. In this finale, we examine the extraordinary events that unfolded after James Finch's release from prison, including his televised confession, his immediate recantation, and the allegations that reignited questions about police corruption, fabricated confessions, and perjury. We also explore the competing theories that have surrounded the Whiskey Au Go Go fire for more than fifty years—from organized crime and protection rackets to insurance fraud, revenge, and international heroin trafficking. Finally, we dive into the evidence presented during the recent coronial inquest, discuss why its findings remain eagerly awaited, and share where we believe the evidence points after eight weeks of research. But above all, we remember the fifteen innocent people who lost their lives on March 8, 1973, and examine the building failures that transformed a criminal act into one of Australia's deadliest nightclub fires.

Adam Swart is the founder and CEO of Crowds on Demand; a paid protesting firm. With protest tensions rising nationwide, he offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at how modern demonstrations are mobilized and why some escalate while others don't.

Send us Fan MailWe dig into why bourbon demand cooled after years of explosive growth and why that shift could be a gift to craft distilleries that focus on quality and real relationships. We swap stories from the trail, debate what “craft” even means, and share how pricing, distribution, and the fading secondary market are changing what bottles people actually buy. • bourbon boom context and what changed after 2023 • why craft distilleries struggled early with young stock and pricing • how direct shipping, local shelves, and tasting rooms reshape the playing field • Iron Fish and the Mad Angler approach to storytelling and limited releases • Whiskey Thief and the bottle-your-own barrel experience as a draw • flippers, the secondary market peak, and why higher MSRPs squeezed resale margins • what separates craft from big producers, including scale, access, and experimentation • panel shout-outs to surprising producers and standout distillery tours Make sure that you do the things like become a member or become a member on YouTube, leave super chats, everything that's there Bourbon didn't “die” overnight. It got normal again, and that's a bigger deal than most people realise. We look at what happened after the 2015 to 2023 bourbon boom, why whiskey sales cooled, and how that pressure is forcing everyone from legacy brands to tiny craft distilleries to prove their worth with flavour, value, and trust instead of pure hype.We talk through what makes craft distilleries uniquely resilient right now: smaller production targets, tight local followings, direct-to-consumer shipping, and an experience-first business model built around tasting rooms, clubs, single barrels, and limited releases. We dig into Iron Fish as a case study in how branding and storytelling can actually deepen a whiskey's identity, including the Mad Angler concept and why community events and raffles keep fans coming back. Then we compare that to distillery destinations like Whiskey Thief, where the “fill your own bottle” barrel-thieving approach turns a purchase into a memory you'll talk about all year.We also get practical about the money. Distribution is expensive, shelf space is brutal, and when classic bottles sit at $35 to $60, a $90 craft bottle has to earn it. We break down how flippers and the secondary market peaked, why rising MSRPs changed the math, and what “quality over hype” looks like for today's more intentional whiskey buyer. If you care about craft bourbon, bourbon tourism, the bourbon trail, and where American whiskey is headed next, you'll leave with a clearer map.Subscribe wherever you listen, share this with a bourbon friend who's tired of chasing unicorns, and leave a review with the craft distillery you think deserves more attention.

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

Welcome back to The Bourbon Road, airing from the Bourbon Road Bar in Simpsonville, Kentucky. This week Jim Shannon rejoins co-host Todd after a week away, and the two dive into a four-bottle lineup that spans continents, traditions, and corn colors. The session opens with a pair of Japanese-influenced whiskeys before pivoting to a high-rye Kentucky icon and a blue corn single barrel that rounds out one of the more eclectic tasting mats the show has assembled. On the Tasting Mat: - Bardstown Bourbon Company Distiller's Reserve – Mars Single Malt Japanese Blend: A 109.8-proof collaborative release blending 69% Kentucky 10-year bourbon (74 corn / 18 rye / 8 malted barley), 8% Kentucky 16-year bourbon (75 corn / 13 rye / 12 malted barley), 20% Mars Komagatake 5-year 100% malted barley, and 3% Mars Shinshu 5-year 100% malted barley. The Japanese whiskeys were co-aged with the Kentucky bourbons in barrel for a full year in Kentucky rather than merely finished. Available in 375ml at an MSRP of $100. The nose opens with bright orchard fruit, plum blossom, and a floral spring-day quality. On the palate it delivers concentrated, intense flavor with a mid-palate tingle, rich dark plum, orange marmalade, honeydew, and a savory undertone riding alongside well-integrated oak. *(00:02:52)* - Yokai Small Batch Bourbon (Mugen Spirits, 3rd Release): A 117-proof small batch aged 7–8 years, produced by Louisville-based Mugen Spirits, co-founded by Kojin Tashiro and Justin Delaney. The distillate is sourced from Bardstown Bourbon Company. Labels are created by a Japanese artist, and the name draws from Japanese folklore creatures. MSRP $99.99. The nose is classic and inviting — vanilla cream, cherry, and butterscotch caramel. The palate surprises with intensity: big flavors up front transitioning to a smokier, oakier back palate, with a notable red hots-style sizzle on the sides and rear of the mouth, hints of candy green apple, and a lingering almond nuttiness. *(00:12:52)* - Willett Family Estate Small Batch Bourbon: A cask-strength expression bottled at approximately 126.6 proof, blending 70–80% of Willett's high-rye mash bill (52 corn / 38 rye / 10 malted barley) with 20–30% of their traditional mash bill (72 corn / 13 rye / 15 malted barley), aged 4–5 years across roughly 50-barrel batches. MSRP $65. The nose is unmistakably Willett — spiced gumdrops, menthol, and grain from the pot still, balanced by sweet ethanol appropriate to its proof. On the palate, a bold upfront spice bite gives way to root beer float, Maraschino cherry, whipped cream, and a sassafras-like hound quality, with the finish fading a touch quicker than the powerful front palate suggests. *(00:27:44)* - Bluegrass Distillers Blue Corn Single Barrel Bourbon (7 Year): A single barrel expression bottled at barrel strength, 129 proof, from Elkwood Farm in Midway, Kentucky. The mash bill is 70% blue corn, 21% rye, and 9% malted barley, aged 7 years. MSRP $70, available at the distillery. The nose is subdued and corn-forward with a light graininess and a hint of blueberry. The palate opens up considerably: buttery and pastry-forward with blueberry hand-pie character, a glazed pastry quality, burnt orange citrus notes, and a slow, warming burn. The finish is notably long and satisfying, distinguishing it from the more front-loaded expressions on the mat. *(00:34:29)* Jim and Todd close out the episode with a reminder about their upcoming Roadie gathering at the Frankfurt Bourbon Society on August 22nd from 5–8 PM. Entry is $5 (temporary FBS membership) and requires a Bourbon Road member ID card — sign up free at TheBournonRoad.com to get yours and RSVP through the Roadie Bar event calendar. Expect a room full of sample bottles, Frankfurt Bourbon Society members, door prizes, and good company. Whether you're a local Kentucky Roadie or making a bourbon trail weekend of it, come find Jim and Todd and raise a glass in person.

As anyone who's spent time by a crackling campfire or a barbecue pit can attest, the scent of smoke is unmistakable—and surprisingly mysterious. Smoke clings to clothing but vanishes in the breeze. You see it, but you can't hold it. It's fantastic in whiskey and terrible in toast. So what exactly is smoke—and what does it do to our food and drinks? What's the difference between cold and hot smoked salmon—and what's a red herring? Is Liquid Smoke made from real smoke? And how did barbecue— smoked meat, cooked low and slow—become a uniquely American tradition? Listen in to find out! (encore) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Green River's first Distillery Select release brings an 8 year toasted double oak bourbon with bakery notes, orange marmalade, buttered toast, apricot, and a touch of mango.

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.

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!
