Welcome back to the Drinks and a Movie Podcast! In this fourth installment of my James Bond journey, I'm diving into Thunderball (1965), a high-stakes adventure where 007 takes on the sinister organization SPECTRE in a race to recover stolen nuclear warheads. With spectacular underwater action and some of the most thrilling moments in the series, this Bond film takes espionage to new depths—literally.For this episode, I'm pairing the action-packed drama with a smooth and refined Weller 12 Year Old bourbon. Its rich, deep flavors and complex character perfectly mirror the sophistication and depth of the film, making it the ideal sipping companion for this classic 007 outing.Pour yourself a glass, settle in, and let's dive into Thunderball!
Penelope Bourbon started in 2018 and quickly ascended to a place only few brands could dream of. They built a cult following and had great distribution. After only a few years as a start up whiskey company, they sold to MGP for over 200 million. We've reviewed Penelope products before on the podcast, but we've never had the pleasure of reviewing anything from their coveted Estate Collection. Thanks to a dedicated listener, we had the opportunity. We taste and review this 9 year old private select Bourbon from Penelope and talk about betting apps as well as where our podcast has been and where it's going. Cheers to the weekend! --------------------------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!

Did you think we were going to take some time off from blinding after the best of 2024? Not a chance. One night about a month ago, Steven sent a message to our group text and asked if any of us have ever had the newer age stated 7 year Beam. After a skeptical response from Kenny, an idea was born. We decided to do a blind of 7 year old bourbons. The bottles in this blind are: Old Louisville 7 year bourbon/Premier Drams 7 year bourbon/Jim Beam 7 Year bourbon/Heaven Hill Bib 7 year/Nashville Barrel Co. 7 year bourbon/Old Ezra 7 Year. Which bottle came out on top? Leave us a comment before you listen and give us a listen to find out who came out on top.

Surprises come in all shapes and sizes and sometimes they come in a really nice box that contains a bottle of bourbon that is hand numbered to 589. This years release of Michter's 20 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is one of the rarest and most allocated bottles that we've ever laid our eyes on. But, how did we get our hands on it and how does it taste? Well, in the midst of our 2024 "best of blinds," we decided to call an audible and add a few more whiskeys to the competition. Unbeknownst to us all, our buddy Ryan Alves pulled out all the stops and casually showed up with this bottle in hand.

Ripy, son of the original distiller. 1976 Wild Turkey introduces the world's first bourbon liqueur, introducing a broader audience and attracting even more drinkers to the bourbon world.

This is a moment we've been waiting for since 2014. Just a few episodes back, we tasted and reviewed some of the oldest rye to ever be released by the New Riff Distillery. For this week, we turn our attention to the newly released New Riff 8 Year Old Bourbon. As we all know, it takes time to make good bourbon.

Prepare yourselves as Kenny pulls what might be the most epic curveball in the history of the the mash up. You'll be laughing all the way to Newport and back. -------------------------- Socials IG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupky FB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupky TW: https://twitter.com/themashupky Partnership Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUP Music: All the Fixings by Zachariah Hickman Thank you so much for listening!

Russell's Reserve 13 Year Old Bourbon was first released in 2021 as a limited one time product. With a low bottle count, the release quickly sold out with Wild Turkey fans demanding more. The company obliged, and announced a second release along with declaring that it would become an annual limited release. Just like the standard Russell's Reserve releases, Russell's Reserve 13 Year Old Bourbon is meant to honor master distiller Eddie Russell who celebrated his 41st anniversary at Wild Turkey in summer 2022.
It's This Week in Bourbon for Jue 9th 2023. Virginia liquor officials said they're taking steps to automate the random lottery process, the third annual release of Russell's Reserve 13-Year-Old Bourbon , and the launch of Hardin's Creek The Kentucky Series, 3 different 17-year-old Bourbons.Show Notes: Virginia liquor officials said they're taking steps to automate the random lottery process Two comedians who named their Scotch whisky after their on-screen characters have won a trademark dispute against Jack Daniel's Sean "Diddy" Combs sues Diageo Sean 'Diddy' Combs has launched Diddy Direct Barrel Global announces the launch of its new barrel ownership service Independent Stave Company has purchased 8,016 forested acres near Somerset KY Mystic Galactic Bourbon has announced the selection of an orbiter vendor The release of Bib & Tucker Double Char Bourbon Dancing Goat Presents series, “Quirky & Humble.” Bardstown Bourbon Company will soon release Discovery Series #10 That Boutique-y Whisky Company is shining a light on American whiskey in its latest collection Woodford Reserve has released Woodford Reserve Batch Proof Third annual release of Russell's Reserve 13-Year-Old Bourbon Launch of Hardin's Creek The Kentucky Series, 3 different 17-year-old Bourbons @barrelglobal @independentstavecompany @mysticfarmdistillery @bibandtuckerbourbon @dancinggoatdistillery @bardstownbourbonco @boutiqueywhisky @woodfordreserve @russellsreservebourbon @hardinscreek Support this podcast on Patreon
Iggy, Michael, and Ken sample Eagle Rare 17 from the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection Does the 17-year-old version of Eagle Rare meet or exceed our expectations? Music by Adam Whitehead - https://www.facebook.com/adamwhiteheadmusic Email us at - thewhiskeyfriends@gmail.com #Eagle Rare #whiskey #bourbon #BTAC (Buffalo Trace Antique Collection) #aging #oakiness #tannin #palate #nose #unicorn Eagle Rare 17-Year-Old Bourbon Review In a recent podcast episode, the whiskey enthusiasts from "The Whiskey Friends" took on the daunting task of sampling the highly sought-after Eagle Rare 17-Year-Old Bourbon from the BTAC (Buffalo Trace Antique Collection). This bourbon, sent to them by Mr. Robert of the Bourbon Real Talk community, promised a journey into the world of aged and matured whiskey. Let's dive into their impressions. Appearance: The Eagle Rare 17, a unicorn in the bourbon world, was poured into their glasses. Its deep, amber hue hinted at the long years it had spent aging in barrels. The color alone set high expectations. Nose: The podcast hosts were pleasantly surprised by the nose. They described it as reminiscent of a good bourbon with a subtle hint of mustiness. It was an inviting aroma, not overpoweringly oaky but carrying the promise of something special. Palate: The first sip revealed the power of the aging process. While the oakiness was prominent, it didn't overwhelm the palate as some other heavily aged bourbons do. There were subtle notes of pepper and a touch of fruit, with a faint hint of banana that added a unique twist. However, the tannin bitterness became more pronounced as the whiskey finished. Finish: As they savored the Eagle Rare 17, the conversation turned to the finish. It was described as fairly oaky, but the addition of a drop of water opened it up, allowing more of the classic bourbon flavors to shine through. Some found it slightly one-dimensional, considering the bourbon's reputation, but it was not a disappointing experience overall. Conclusion: In their collective opinion, the Eagle Rare 17-Year-Old Bourbon was not their favorite among the many they've tried. For such a highly sought-after bottle, they expected a bit more complexity and depth. However, the consensus was that it was still a worthwhile bourbon, and they acknowledged its potential for trading with fellow whiskey enthusiasts. In summary, the Eagle Rare 17-Year-Old Bourbon from the 2017 vintage showcased the power of aging, with a notable oakiness and hints of pepper, fruit, and banana. While it might not have lived up to the lofty expectations, it remained a respected member of the bourbon world, worthy of a spot in any collector's cabinet.
Ken, Iggy, Michael, Doc, and the Nurse taste test way too many 12-Year-Old bourbons, so you don't have to. (We will own the headache tomorrow) In our lineup, we start with Weller 12 and work our way to Boone County 12, that's made by ghosts. It's tough to find a winner when your table is filled with some of the heavy hitters of the industry. Who will win our best of the night, or did we have way too many samples?

Once again, Pat was asked at the last minute to assemble a spirits podcast on a Friday afternoon. And once again, he assembled enough bottles for four podcast episodes. Last week, we covered wines that are new to stores but might have fallen through the cracks because of the sheer volume of product we receive. The spirits category is no different; we see thousands of new products every year from Irish Whiskey, Tequila, Mezcal, Bourbon…the list goes on. We're going to set the timer for 50 minutes and see how much we can try this week.
