This dusty bottle represents a unique moment in Kentucky whiskey history when Jim Beam owned the legendary brand created by Colonel EH Taylor Jr., the father of modern bourbon and champion of the 1897 Bottled-in-Bond Act.The journey of Old Taylor weaves through Kentucky's bourbon landscape – from Taylor's original distillery (now Castle & Key) through National Distillers during Prohibition, eventually landing at Jim Beam in 1972 where this particular bottle was produced using their classic 75% corn, 13% rye, 12% malted barley recipe. What makes this tasting extraordinary is experiencing how a modest 86-proof, six-year bourbon from four decades ago delivers exceptional quality that rivals today's premium offerings.Our Old Louisville Whiskey Company Barrel Bottle Breakdown reveals a perfect 18/18 score with remarkable tasting notes: burnt caramel corn aromatics, candy-like sweetness on the palate, and a surprising maple syrup finish that lingers impressively. The viscosity and mouthfeel defy its modest proof, creating an experience that transcends time and connects us directly to bourbon's golden era before the modern whiskey boom.For bourbon enthusiasts, these dusty treasures offer more than nostalgic sipping – they provide perspective on how distillation, aging, and blending techniques have evolved while highlighting the consistent craftsmanship that defines Kentucky's signature spirit. Whether you're a seasoned collector or curious newcomer, seeking out these liquid time capsules offers a unique window into bourbon's rich heritage.Join us next week for our special Derby podcast where we'll explore the deep connections between Old Forrester, Brown-Forman, Woodford Reserve and Kentucky's most famous horse race.

We examine what sets apart barrel finishing methods and why they create such distinct flavor profiles in your favorite bourbons.• Woodford Double Oak stands as our benchmark for the category—butterscotch and caramel notes with exceptional availability• Peerless offers both Toasted and Double Oak expressions with higher proof points and distinct character differences• French oak versus American oak creates notably different sweetness profiles, with French imparting more butterscotch notes• Charred barrels serve as both flavor enhancers and natural filters for column-distilled spirits• The Kentucky Bourbon Festival (Sept 5-7, 2025) will feature exclusive releases with tickets going on sale April 17th• Old Louisville Whiskey Company's Double Double Oak earned a spectacular 17/18 rating on our barrel bottle breakdown scaleJoin the Crystal Glencairn Club and connect with us at www.scotchybourbonboys.com for merch, updates, and membership information. Remember to like, subscribe, and leave good feedback wherever you listen!Ever wondered why some bourbons taste like butterscotch while others lean heavily toward caramel? The secret lies in the oak—specifically whether that barrel was charred or toasted, and whether your bourbon spent time in one barrel or two.We journey through the fascinating world of barrel finishing techniques, comparing the sweet spot of double-oaked bourbons against their toasted counterparts. From Woodford Reserve Double Oak (the gold standard) to Peerless Distilling's twin expressions and the ultra-premium Old Louisville Double Double Oak, we explore how these barrel treatments transform whiskey from good to extraordinary.The science behind barrel treatment proves fascinating—charring caramelizes wood sugars and creates a natural filter, while toasting gently warms the wood to release more subtle flavors. We learn why French oak tends to produce butterscotch notes while American oak leans toward vanilla and caramel. Each sip tells a story of time, temperature, and transformation.Beyond the tasting, we share details about the upcoming Kentucky Bourbon Festival (September 5-7, 2025), where bourbon lovers can sample countless expressions and exclusive releases. Tickets go on sale April 17th, with early access for "Bourbon Insiders" on April 16th—definitely an event worth marking on your calendar if you've fallen in love with these complex, layered whiskeys.Whether you're new to bourbon or a seasoned enthusiast, understanding the oak behind your pour adds a whole new dimension to appreciation.

We explore the rich distilling heritage of Kentucky, laugh over common misconceptions about its capital, and ponder the importance of value and partnership in both our personal and professional lives.With humor as our guide, we traverse the landscapes of Wild Turkey, Woodford Reserve, Buffalo Trace, and Four Roses, each with its compelling story and place in bourbon lore. Russ shares tantalizing insights about Blade and Bow, an intriguing creation from Diageo that emerged just nine years ago, and its deep roots in Louisville's distillery scene. If you're ready for a sensory adventure through bourbon country, pour yourself a glass and tune in, as we toast to partnerships, the joy of discovery, and the eternal appeal of bourbon.

We are back for round 2 of the discussion of Pot still vs Column. This time we get deep into congeners and phenols. It went off the rails, as always. Hope its freaking scratching that Nerd itch. Badmotivatorbarrels.com/shop/?aff=3 https://www.instagram.com/zsmithwhiskeyandmixology?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw== Hinterhausdistilling.com Texaswhiskeyfestival.com Liquor.com / Sarah Maiden Without distillation, liquor couldn't exist. Distillation is the process by which the alcohol present in a fermented liquid is separated and then concentrated. It's done by heating the liquid and then cooling the vapors, condensing them into a highly alcoholic spirit. This all works because ethanol evaporates at a lower temperature than water.  The device used in this process is called a still. Over the centuries, stills have evolved from rudimentary fire-heated pots to towering, industrial machinery. To make liquor today, distilleries primarily use two different types of stills: pot stills and column stills. These two methods of distillation operate based on the same fundamental principles but produce spirits with noticeably different qualities.  Here's everything you need to know about pot stills vs. column stills. • Pot stills are large pot-shaped stills that are usually made of copper and distill spirits on a batch-by-batch basis. • Column stills include at least one tall cylindrical column. They can be operated continuously and produce spirits more efficiently. • Generally speaking, pot stills create richer and more flavorful spirits while column stills are preferred for more neutral spirits. Liquor.com / Laura Sant What Is a Pot Still? The oldest and most straightforward method of distilling a spirit is batch distillation, more commonly known as pot distillation. This style of distilling uses a large pot-shaped still to produce a spirit. Pot stills are usually made of copper and have a very wide base that tapers vertically into a thin neck. These stills are filled with a fermented alcoholic liquid that is derived from an agricultural product like grain, sugar cane, or fruit. This low-ABV liquid, known as the wash, is then heated. “Alcohol and other volatiles that boil at temperatures lower than water can be removed when heated to near boiling,” explains Dr. Pat Heist, chief scientific officer and co-founder of Wilderness Trail Distillery.  “It is the distiller's control of [the] heating and condensing process that allows for the development of a desired flavor profile.” –Chris Morris, master distiller emeritus at Old Forester and Woodford Reserve  The vapors that emerge from the pot as the liquid heats up are collected, then cooled and condensed into a distillate right off the pot. They can also be further processed through a series of rectifying plates that result in higher proofs, and the distillate is often distilled a second time to achieve the desired concentration of alcohol. “It is the distiller's control of that heating and condensing process that allows for the development of a desired flavor profile,” says Chris Morris, master distiller emeritus at Old Forester and Woodford Reserve. Pot distillation isn't the most efficient way to create alcohol, mainly because it operates on a batch-by-batch process. “A pot still is filled, heated, emptied, and then filled again,” says Morris. Despite their inefficiency, pot stills produce spirits that are often renowned for their rich flavors and aromas.

But Check out https://youtube.com/@mywhiskeyden?si=DvGDaZ-57wj06x9p January 14, 2025 Brown‑Forman Announces Series of Strategic Initiatives for Growth Company To Restructure Globally, Louisville Cooperage To Close LOUISVILLE, KY – Brown‑Forman Corporation (NYSE:BFA,BFB) announced today a series of strategic initiatives to position the company for continued growth in the dynamic global spirits market. These initiatives include restructuring the executive leadership team, implementing a workforce reduction affecting approximately 12% of the company's global workforce, and closing the Louisville-based Brown‑Forman Cooperage. “In 2025, Brown‑Forman celebrates 155 years of delivering Nothing Better in the Market. We have achieved this impressive milestone in part because of our relentless focus on evolving our strategy, our portfolio, and our organization to grow and thrive,” said Lawson Whiting, President & Chief Executive Officer. “Today's announcement will ensure we have the structure and teams in place to continue on this path, while also making investments that we believe will facilitate growth for generations to come.” Workforce Reduction To enhance operational efficiency and agility, Brown‑Forman has made the difficult decision to reduce its global workforce by approximately 12% of its 5,400 employees worldwide. Brown‑Forman is deeply committed to supporting departing employees with comprehensive transition agreements that include severance, outplacement services, and other benefits to help them through this career change. This organizational evolution will simplify and streamline Brown‑Forman's structure, allowing it to become a more agile and efficient organization and reinvest in the capabilities, technologies, brands, and people that will drive future growth. Brown‑Forman Cooperage Closure Brown‑Forman will close its Louisville-based barrel-making operation, Brown‑Forman Cooperage, by April 25, 2025. This closure, which will impact approximately 210 hourly and salaried employees, is part of the overall 12% workforce reduction. Brown‑Forman will offer severance, outplacement services, and benefits consistent with their terms of employment.  Moving forward, Brown‑Forman will source barrels from an external supplier to ensure a steady supply of the same high-quality barrels at a competitive price. Collectively, these actions are projected to deliver approximately $70 to $80 million in annualized cost savings, a portion of which is expected to be reinvested to accelerate growth. In addition, the company will receive more than $30 million in proceeds in connection with the sale of the cooperage assets. The company expects to incur approximately $60 to $70 million in aggregate charges for severance and related costs associated with the workforce reduction and cooperage closing.  Brown‑Forman.com.

In Episode 48 of the Lean Whiskey podcast, Jamie Flinchbaugh and Mark Graban begin by comparing two whiskeys from the same distillery. OOPS! We recorded this in October... and I released it via YouTube and my blog. But it somehow ended up stuck in "Draft" unreleased status on the podcast. That's why we had two episodes released in the same week... Episode page with video and more Mark selected Woodford Reserve, and had a pour of both the Double Oaked (which we both agree is underrated) and their Historic Barrel Entry, a nod to production methods in the past. Jamie selected Southern Distilling after a recent visit to North Carolina. He poured their heated bourbon, the Paragon Bottled-in-Bond, and their Double Rye, a surprisingly smooth drink at 95% rye.  Mark and Jamie repeat their “lean coffee modified for whiskey-sipping speed” approach of covering multiple topics. All three topics were prompted by Wall Street Journal articles. The first was whether AI was overhyped. The article focused on the return on investment, but we spend more time on both the organizational and individual approach of experimentation and learning. We then explored the trend (although more anecdotal than a large data trend) of “unbossing”, which hopefully doesn't become a new term. Individuals further into their career are wanting to give up managing people due to the burden and stress of the role. We explored a bit of “what is the problem we are trying to solve?” with exploration of spans and layers, too much bureaucracy,  and just needing more focus on growing people.  Finally, we tackled an increase in fatalities and injuries from failure to use proper lockout tagout procedures. These should be fundamental, habitually focused processes. Lack of training and lack of enforcement are some of the causes, and increased turnover throughout and past the pandemic is a contributing factor, as is a cultural focus on output over safety. We explore a bit of the history, importance, and some possible steps forward. We end by sharing what books we've been reading. A book and a glass of whiskey aren't a bad combination. Cheers!

This film follows slasher b-movie sound specialist Jack Terri, who witnesses a car accident that kills a prolific politician. Using his audio expertise, he begins to uncover that this accident might've been an assassination. However, his independent investigation gets him wrapped up in something much more dangerous than he could have imagined.

Kaveh Zamanian is a cool customer.  The founder of Rabbit Hole Distillery, Kaveh's relaxed personality is immediately apparent. That's not to say that he hasn't felt the anxiety and strain of building a brand. As he tells it, Kaveh had spent many nights on his knees “praying to whoever would listen” that his vision for Rabbit Hole would come to fruition. A former clinical psychologist, Kaveh launched Rabbit Hole in 2012. The distillery's name is derived from Kaveh's “passionate descent into the practice of distilling fine spirits,” specifically rye and bourbon. The whiskey is produced in small batches at Rabbit Hole's state-of-the-art  55,000-square-foot distillery in Louisville, Kentucky, and presented in four core expressions along with the brand's innovative Founder's Collection series. In 2019, French spirits giant Pernod Ricard acquired a majority stake in Rabbit Hole for an undisclosed price. The deal accelerated the brand's U.S. distribution and helped it expand internationally. Kaveh has continued to helm Rabbit Hole and added a new title – Chief Whiskey Officer at Pernod – in the process.   In this episode, Kaveh talks about how his passion for whiskey became an entrepreneurial journey, how he assembled a team of industry veterans early into the development of the company and why he credits a strong support network as key to his career transition. He also talks about pitching 1,000 investors over the course of two years and how he got 110 to say “yes,” and his current work developing new products and brands, including Mary Dowling Bourbon and Mash & Mallow Whiskey. Show notes: 0:35: Kaveh Zamanian, Founder, Rabbit Hole Distillery – Kaveh speaks with Taste Radio editor Ray Latif about the Nulu neighborhood of Louisville, where Rabbit Hole is based, the construction and capacity of of its distillery and how his love of wine impacted his foray into whiskey. Kaveh also talks about the bourbon industry's renaissance over the past decade and how distilling talent, if not funding, was plentiful; why he felt it was important to maintain his job in psychology early into the development of Rabbit Hole; and why he credits a strong support network as key to his career transition. He also explains why building a facility that matched his ambition was critical to his vision for Rabbit Hole, how the company forecasted demand and its capacity for contracting distilling and how he convinced investors with no experience in the spirits industry to back the company. Kaveh also talks about managing anxiety, the key elements of Rabbit Hole's brand architecture, how he considered an exit strategy while building the company and which decisions he regrets most over the past decade. Brands in this episode: Rabbit Hole Distillery, Maker's Mark, Woodford Reserve, Wild Turkey, Nantucket Nectars, Culture Pop, Bardstown Bourbon
