From early bourbon memories to tasting notes, ratings, and laughs, the crew breaks down what makes Woodford unique, and whether this one's worth adding to your shelf.Is Woodford Barrel Strength Rye the real deal, or just marketing magic?#WoodfordReserve #BourbonReview #ArsenicCulturehttps://www.youtube.com/@arsenicculturehttps://instagram.com/arsenicculturehttps://tiktok.com/@arsenicculturehttps://www.facebook.com/arsenicculture/https://x.com/arsenicculture

This week, we reunite with our good friends and favorite riff-summoning adventurers, Howling Giant- the Nashville-based doom lords blending sludge, prog, psych, and sci-fi into some of the most mind-melting metal you'll ever hear. They're back on the show and ready to unleash their most massive and mind-bending record yet - available October 31st! With Frizz sipping a special-edition bottle of Woodford Reserve and Bob going full Kentucky Gentleman, we dive headfirst into Crucible and Ruin, an album that plays like a campaign through storm-forged planets, endless archives of worlds and legends, and battles waged with both scepters and scythes. We talk about their new dual guitar attack, cosmic world building, how their sound just keeps getting bigger, and why this October 31st release is going to shake the doom-metal cosmos. Strap in and roll for an exclusive first listen, while we confirm once and for all: yes, this album rips. And yes, your ass is grass.

In a very special episode, host Todd Ritter travels back in time to sit down with a true titan of the bourbon industry: the ghost of Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. himself. Taking a brief leave from his permanent residence in the Frankfort Cemetery, the Colonel joins the show to tell his incredible life story in his own words. He recounts his early life, from being orphaned as a child and sent to live with a prominent guardian in New Orleans to being adopted by his uncle—the original Edmund Haynes Taylor—in Frankfort. Colonel Taylor explains how he learned the banking business first, giving him a unique financial insight into the successes and failures of Kentucky's early distillers. This business acumen, combined with access to the meticulous distilling notes of the legendary Dr. James C. Crow, set him on a path to revolutionize the industry. He details his trip to Europe to study Old World techniques, bringing back innovations like climate-controlled rickhouses and copper distilling equipment. He walks listeners through the founding of his iconic distilleries, from the O.F.C. and Hermitage to his ultimate masterpiece, the Old Taylor Distillery (now Castle & Key), a stunning "showcase" designed to be the birthplace of bourbon tourism. Along the way, he shares tales of his famous falling out with his one-time business partner, George T. Stagg. In the second half, the man behind the portrayal, Frankfort historian Russ Kennedy, steps out of character to join the show. Russ shares his own fascinating journey from being the "world's worst history student" to becoming one of Frankfort's most passionate historical storytellers. After a career with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife, a post-retirement gig as a tour guide at the State Capitol ignited a love for local history. He discusses how he developed his craft, first portraying Frankfort's founder, Stephen Frank, before taking on the iconic role of Colonel Taylor. Russ talks about his work today, leading historical walking tours by appointment, making special appearances as the Colonel at distilleries and events, and his involvement in projects like the Frankfort bourbon history documentary. This unique episode is a departure from the usual tasting format, offering a rich, story-driven deep dive into the life and legacy of one of bourbon's most influential figures.

Jim and Todd are back together in the Bourbon Road bar for a tasting flight of five unique whiskeys, along with a roundup of the latest bourbon industry news. They kick off the night with the Brothers Bond Regenerative Grain Bourbon. This 92-proof, four-year-old expression is a four-grain blend of wheated and high-rye bourbons from 70 barrels hand-selected by founders Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley. The hosts find a pleasant nose of sweet cornbread that opens up on the palate to honey-glazed fruits like peach and pear with a nice oaky spice on the finish. Next up is the first-ever Cigar Blend Bourbon from Buzzard's Roost. The hosts discuss what defines a "cigar blend"—typically a rich, complex, and intense whiskey that can stand up to a cigar. This 105-proof, double-oaked expression delivers, with an intriguing nose of new leather and cinnamon toast. The palate reveals notes of toasted marshmallow, a wisp of smoke, sarsaparilla, and even black licorice, making for a whiskey with a broad spectrum of flavors perfect for pairing. The third pour is the highly anticipated Bardstown Discovery Series #13. This complex, 110.8-proof release is Bardstown's first double-barreled expression—a blend of four Kentucky bourbons aged 8 to 15 years, which was then split and finished for four months in both new American white oak and Hungarian oak before being married back together. The result is a masterfully balanced whiskey with a nose of toasty vanilla and crème brûlée that leads to a palate of honeycomb cereal, cherry, and an extra-long, slightly drying finish. For the fourth glass, they travel to Iowa for the Cedar Ridge Barrel Proof Bourbon. At 116 proof and an approachable price, this bourbon is crafted from a unique mash bill that includes 14% malted rye. This special grain shines through, softening the spirit and creating a surprisingly sweet profile with prominent notes of peaches and sweet tea. The tasting concludes with a "dark horse": Silver Spring Sweet Rye from J.W. Kelly in Tennessee. This single-barrel, 122-proof Kentucky rye drinks nothing like a typical rye. The hosts are amazed by its unique profile, which starts with a nose of fig and an effervescent lemon-lime quality. The palate is a delightful surprise, full of fruity notes like cherry and strawberry, along with cotton candy, cacao, and a hint of white pepper on the finish.

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.

Send us a textTonight's episode dives deep into the world of double oak and toasted oak bourbon, exploring the science and flavor differences between various finishing techniques. 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. Which do you prefer—the caramelized richness of charred barrels or the subtle sweetness of toasted wood?

Woodford Reserve is one of the most iconic distilleries in the world. Despite the fact that they have an incredibly consistent set of products that are very popular, we've lamented that most of their whiskeys are 90.4 proof. Well...the newest release in the limited distillery series offerings is the highest proof whiskey that they've ever releaased! Clocking in at 139.4 proof, Woodford Reserve's Chocolate Whisper Redux comes in a 375ml bottle and costs $99.99. But how does it taste? And is it worth the hefty price tag that it carries? Often critical of Woodford products, our short review for this week might surprise you. --------------------------SocialsIG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupkyFB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupkyTW: https://twitter.com/themashupkyPartnership(s)Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUPVisit https://woodworkcollective.shop and enter code MASHUP for a 15% discount on your orderMusic: All the Fixings by Zachariah HickmanThank you so much for listening!

The bourbon news doesn't seem to stop flowing.We chat about a major strategy change for Louisville-based distiller Brown-Forman Corp. (NYSE: BF-A, BF-B) on this week's Access Louisville podcast. The discussion was spurred by the recent news that the company, which owns Jack Daniel's, Woodford Reserve, Old Forester and other spirits brands, is laying off 12% of its global workforce and shutting down its Louisville cooperage.You can read more about the news from Brown-Forman here, as well as some reaction from the industry on the cooperage closure specifically.We chat about what the news means for local tourism. Bourbon sales are undoubtedly slowing down. But the famed Kentucky spirit still has plenty of fans that are up for a visit. You can check out our most recent list of the area's biggest bourbon attractions here. We also discuss a local Hemp company that's considering a similar tourism-driven facility in Louisville. After the bourbon and hemp talk, we switch gears to talk movies — which is becoming an emerging industry in the state. You can read about a movie being shot in Louisville, "Dead Man's Wire" that has received $4 million in tax incentives from the state of Kentucky here. You can also read more about Kentucky's emerging film industry in this Q&A with Soozie Eastman founder and president of 502 Film and chair of the Louisville Film Commission.
