Podcasts about Wild turkey

Welcome back to another episode of the Bourbon Road podcast! This week, Todd Ritter is holding down the fort solo while Jim Shannon escapes to warmer weather. But Todd isn't drinking alone at the Bourbon Road bar; he's joined by two fantastic returning guests to celebrate the Bottled in Bond Act. Amsey Wenning, the "Alec Baldwin of the show" from the Frankfort Bourbon Society and Bourbon on the Banks, is back, along with filmmaker Bo Cumberland, the director behind the Frankfort: The Heart of Bourbon documentary. The guys dive into a deep discussion about Bo's recent documentary work. With his Frankfort film approaching 22,000 views on YouTube, Bo shares the overwhelmingly positive response it has received. He also talks about his exciting new series, Forging a Bourbon Legacy, which explores the deep, intertwining roots of bourbon history in Anderson County. Through short-form episodes, Bo is uncovering the fascinating stories of families and figures like the Ripy family, the Bonds, Judge McBrayer, and the history behind Wild Turkey, proving that Kentucky's bourbon history is anything but simple. Amsey also shares some incredible news about the Bourbon on the Banks festival, revealing that the charity-driven event recently distributed over $100,000 to local organizations, with volunteers getting a say in where the funds go. Of course, a Bottled in Bond celebration requires some stellar 100-proof whiskeys, and the tasting mat is loaded with unique and highly anticipated pours: First up is a true dusty: 1992 Old Crow Bottled-in-Bond. This 4-year-old Japanese export delivers a classic bourbon nose with rich caramel and dark colors that defy its age. The guys marvel at its luscious mouthfeel and cherry caramel notes, finding it vastly superior to modern iterations of the brand and proving that the "good Old Crow" was truly something special. Next, Amsey brings a unique bottle to the table: Angel's Envy Cask Strength Bottled in Bond. A rare combination of terms, this 6-year-old bourbon achieves its 100 proof through a lower barrel entry proof and meticulous blending rather than adding water. The crew discovers an intriguing almond and amaretto nose, followed by a soft, fruity palate with hints of green apple, light caramel, and a sweet confectioner's sugar finish that drinks surprisingly gentle. Finally, they head south to sample the Old Dominick Bottled in Bond Tennessee Whiskey. Produced in Memphis, this expression features a mash bill of 75% corn, 13% rye, and 12% malted barley. It undergoes the Lincoln County process and is aged in West Tennessee white oak with a heavy #4 alligator char. The result is a bold, earthy pour with notes of dark cherry, sweet pipe tobacco, and a pleasant graininess that finishes with a spicy, white pepper kick. Tune in as the guys sip through these incredible bonded whiskeys, debate the merits of short-form versus long-form storytelling, and share plenty of laughs along the way. Cheers! Be sure to check out our private Facebook group, "The Bourbon Roadies" for a great group of bourbon loving people. You will be welcomed with open arms!

Winter whiskey should do more than warm you up — it should transform the entire experience.In this episode of Bourbon Lens, Jake and Scott explore how seasonal changes influence flavor perception, bottle selection, and the way we enjoy whiskey during colder months. From rich, layered bourbons to spicy ryes and innovative cask finishes, they break down what truly makes a whiskey “winter-ready.”You'll hear tasting notes and discussion around standout bottles like High West Distillery Cask Strength, 1792 Full Proof, Green River Distilling Company Full Proof, Wild Turkey 17 Year, Old Fitzgerald 15 Year, Sagamore Spirit Rye, and Old Overholt Rye. The conversation covers proof, age, mash bill nuance, finishing techniques, and why bold, complex profiles shine brightest in winter.Scott shares his gravitation toward tobacco, caramel, maple, and dark stewed fruit notes for cozy nights, while Jake explores the impact of Calvados, sherry, and toasted grain finishes that add layers of warmth and nostalgia. They also discuss the resurgence of single barrels, the growing demand for transparency in 2026, and how storytelling shapes today's whiskey landscape.Beyond the glass, the episode touches on winter rituals — from hot toddies and old fashioneds to the metaphor of snow removal as it relates to whiskey's warming power. Whether you're settling in by the fire or reflecting during winter's slower pace, this episode will help you choose whiskies that elevate the season.If you're ready to deepen your winter sipping ritual and approach whiskey with more intention, this is your essential cold-weather guide.Subscribe

Today we're talking about a man who has spent more time at a distillery than most people have spent in their own living rooms. He's the "Buddha of Bourbon," the "Master Distiller's Master Distiller," and the living heart of Wild Turkey. I'm talking, of course, about the legendary Jimmy Russell.

Send us a textIn Memory of Jackie OwensJoin host Alex Rutledge for a deeply moving and inspirational episode featuring predator hunting expert Eddie Owens. Recorded on January 1st, 2026, just weeks after the passing of Eddie's beloved wife Jackie, this powerful conversation goes far beyond hunting tactics to explore the profound impact of faith, love, and partnership.Eddie shares the beautiful story of how he and Jackie met in seventh grade, their 27-year journey together, and how Jackie transformed from a novice into an accomplished predator hunter who could outshoot her husband. But this episode's heart lies in Jackie's courageous battle with ovarian cancer—how she worked the day after chemo treatments, continued hunting in Montana during her fight, and inspired hundreds with her unwavering faith.Through tears and laughter, Eddie recounts memorable hunts, discusses their favorite rifles and cooking recipes, and delivers a powerful testimony about caregiving, legacy, and trusting God through life's darkest valleys. Jackie's story of strength, grace, and faith touched an estimated 500-800 people at her service and continues to inspire through this heartfelt tribute.This episode is for anyone who:Values faith and family above all elseWants to understand the power of outdoor partnershipsNeeds encouragement during difficult timesLoves authentic stories of courage and legacyPart 1 of a 3-part series on predator hunting.

Send us a textA Tennessee farm kid turned bourbon influencer, Syrena—known as @shortstuffbourbon—joins us for a pour that stirs opinions and memories. We kick off with her roots in Tennessee, where corn isn't just a crop but a bridge to whiskey, and trace how that background shaped her approach to tasting, teaching, and building a welcoming corner of whiskey Instagram.From there, we explore the current state of bourbon: pricing that keeps creeping up, the gap between MSRP and secondary, and why consistency might be the most underrated flex in bourbon. We compare notes on house pours and honest shelf buys, call out the perils of “best-of” lists stacked with expensive trophies, and share practical ways to shop by palate instead of hype. If you're tired of chasing unicorns, you'll find a roadmap here—reliable distilleries, smart everyday bottles, and the freedom to like what you like.Then we taste. Russell's Reserve 13year does not disappoint. The nose shows classic bourbon comfort—vanilla, caramel, warm baking spice—with that unmistakable Wild Turkey “dusty” note. On the palate, Syrena nails a sweet tea impression surrounded by honey, dark chocolate, dried fruit, and a late pepper flick. The non-chill filtered texture brings a rich, oily mouthfeel, and the finish stacks spice in steady layers. We debate where Russell's 13 year lands in our personal rankings, what Bruce Russell's stewardship might mean for the brand, and how to invite new drinkers in—start with cocktails, turn down the sugar, and move toward neat when it feels right.If you enjoy real talk about value, thoughtful tasting notes, and a guest who champions craft and community, you'll feel right at home. Tap follow, share this episode with a bourbon friend, and drop your current top bottle in a review—we'll feature our favorites on a future show.

Goose Island's team breaks down what actually changes a barrel-aged stout over time and how they achieve a perfect balance with their adjuncts.In this audio-only episode, Crafty Brewers' Brian Noonan and Cody Gough join WGN Radio host Dave Plier in-studio to discuss this year's Bourbon County Stout lineup with Goose Island President Todd Ahsmann and Senior Innovation Manager Mike Siegel. They delve into the origins of barrel-aged stouts, Goose Island's unique place in American brewing history, and why barrel-aged beers taste different every year despite using the same recipe. They also present a guided tasting through the 2025 lineup, with practical tips you can use the next time you sip a high-ABV stout, from serving temperature to mouthfeel to how bitterness, acidity, and sweetness can be “levers” that create complexity. Plus: why ingredients are added after aging, how nut/cocoa/fruit additions are made to stay balanced, the surprisingly risky logistics behind refilling freshly-emptied barrels fast enough to prevent spoilage, and the story behind their limited King Henry II Barleywine release.About Goose Island: A Chicago brewery that has been dedicated to making quality beer for all people and all occasions since 1988.

1/8. The Wild Turkey, the Bald Eagle, and the Illogical Nature of Bird Names — Steven Moss — Moss introduces the Wild Turkey, discussing its successful reestablishment in New England and its domestication origin in southern Mexico. Moss critiques the turkey's nomenclature as fundamentally illogical, derived from historical confusion involving exotic trade routes through Asia Minor. Moss examines the Bald Eagle as a scavenger species that symbolizes predatory power and dominance. Moss notes that Benjamin Franklin reportedly argued the Wild Turkey should have been designated America's national bird instead. Moss further documents how the eagle was subsequently appropriated as a sinister political symbol by authoritarian regimes, most infamously by Nazi Germany. 1859
