E313 - New York State of Mind Dec 05, 2025

Show notes

When we returned from New York this past summer, we wondered if we had tasted the best whiskey that the Empire State had to offer. We didn’t have to think very long because two of our dedicated listeners sent us a ton of samples from various New York distilleries. We could have spread them out over multiple episodes, but what’s the fun in that? So here it is - a tour of New York distillers sponsored by our listeners. Cheers!

E312 - Sazerac Full Proof Rye Dec 02, 2025

Show notes

It seems like just yesterday that we were tasting and reviewing the 100 proof version of Sazerac Rye which "was" the newest permanent edition to the Saz lineup. However, that all changed a couple weeks ago when Sazerac Full Proof Rye made its debut. This new and permanent offering from Buffalo Trace comes in at 125 proof and is said to be comprised of barrels that are aging in some of the best parts of the rickhouses. Join us for this short as we taste and review this new offering. In this episode, Anthony blinds the fellas with another pour that sparks some good discussion. 90, 100, and now 125 proof? What's missing? Maybe the next offering can be at 107 proof and be called "Old Sazerac Antique."

E311 - Michter's Extravaganza (M10 Bourbon & Rye and more!) Nov 28, 2025

Show notes

Michter's is known as the "world's most desired whiskey." So on this Black Friday edition of The Mash Up, we taste and review three different limited production whiskeys from the distillery: 10 year old bourbon & rye and barrel strength bourbon. Each year that these products release (because they don't always release annually), they are highly allocated and highly sought after. What starts off as an expose on Michter's, quickly turns to the usual fun and spirited conversation along with many random blinds. We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and we hope you enjoy our take on these Michter's limited production whiskeys.

E310 - Faultline 19 Year Old Single Barrel Bourbon Nov 25, 2025

Show notes

Faultline Bourbon is adorned with an iconic cracked sidewalk label. The original K&L Faultline Bourbon debuted in 2013 and was very well received. For this short, we dive into the latest release was distilled in 2006 and aged with meticulous attention for nineteen years. Distilled in Indiana, the bourbon that we taste in this episode is barrel number one of four. 19 year old MGP? Sounds too good to be true. Maybe it is. MAYBE! You'll have to listen to find out. Thanks to Tom for the assist on this one.

E309 - King of Kentucky & William Heavenhill (2025) Nov 21, 2025

Show notes

How many podcasts would review two potential bourbon of the year candidates in one episode? We could have spaced these two bottles out, but that wouldn't have been much fun. Join us this week as we taste and review the 2025 offerings of King of Kentucky and William Heavenhill. We are joined by a special guest and Kenny (in classic Kenny fashion) made us blind these whiskeys along side of other bangers. This was a VERY enjoyable episode to record and we hope you love listening.

E308 - Rare Character Old Cassidy Bourbon (2025) Nov 18, 2025

Show notes

Old Cassidy is a brand new premium blend of bourbon from Rare Character. Previously, Old Cassidy had been released as a single barrel product, but this inaugural blend will be an annual release that will showcase the best of the barrels that Rare Character has. Distilled and aged in Kentucky and bottled in Lexington, this release represents a deliberate selection of barrels ranging in age, with 18-year-old Kentucky bourbon as the base of the blend. Each barrel for this blend was chosen for its unique contribution of flavor and character, and the result is rich, complex, and harmonious bourbon worthy of being celebrated. In this short, we give you our honest take on this brand new bottle and also speculate on what barrels we believe may have been blended to create this bourbon.

E307 - Knob Creek 21 Year Old Bourbon Nov 14, 2025

Show notes

21 year old bourbon? With an age statement like that, it has to be good. This limited edition from Knob Creek is the oldest to date and is described as bold, complex, and rich. But how does it taste? You've heard us be pretty hard on Beam LEs in the past, but we came into this episode feeling hopeful and a bit satched. How did things turn out? You'll have to listen to find out. Not surprisingly, Kenny introduced no less than one thousand blinds in order to help us make a good solid judgement on this bottle.

E306 - Double Blind Tuesday Nov 11, 2025

Show notes

On this Tuesday short, the fellas double blind each other with bottles priced from $40-$200. Kenny and Steven are spot on while Anthony is somewhere out in left field. The blinds are fun, but the introduction to this episode is one of the best in Mash Up history. Enjoy and don't forget to blind. It's the only way.

E305 - Russell's Reserve Single Rickhouse CNE (2025) Nov 07, 2025

Show notes

You've heard us talk about the Russell's Reserve Single Rickhouse releases a few times. This years release is one of the highest proof in turkey history and comes to us from the stocks of bourbon aging at the famed Camp Nelson campus. The fourth edition of the Single Rickhouse series comes from Camp Nelson E, which was built in 1946 and still stands tall today as one of 5 remaining rickhouses on the property. It is set back deepest on the property amongst the trees, contributing to more shade and an overall cooler climate. But how does the whiskey taste? More importantly, how does it stack up against other Wild Turkey releases? We've reviewed them all, but is this one the best yet? You'll have to listen to find out.

E304 - RD1 Single Barrel Bourbon (Bubble Gum Delight) Nov 04, 2025

Show notes

You've heard us mention the good folks at Jackson's Wine & Spirits many times on our podcast. For this week's short, we taste and review a new RD1 Bourbon Pick called "Bubble Gum Delight" that recently hit the shelves at Jackson's. Clocking in at 6 years and 116.8 proof, this bourbon packs some flavor. However, we also experimented with this one a bit and the results were quite surprising.
