E293 - Jack Daniel's Heritage Toasted Barrel (2025) Sep 26, 2025

Show notes

Even though we tend to gravitate toward our own state when it comes to brown liquid, we got a lot of love for our neighbors to the south in Tennessee. Jack Daniel's is a brand that is steeped in history and tradition and we've been delighted at how they've expanded their offerings in recent years. In this episode, we taste and review the brand new Jack Daniel's Heritage offering which is a toasted single barrel whiskey. To create this whiskey, Jack Daniel's uses barrels that have a high toast/low char technique which are then filled with 100 proof liquid and aged for 7 years at the highest part of the warehouse. The end result? You'll have to listen to find out. This was once a limited release and now Jack has plans to release it annually. Is this once limited bottle worth having on your radar. We'll give you the lowdown.

E291 - Sazerac Rye 100 Proof Sep 19, 2025

Show notes

In the very first episode of The Mash Up Podcast, we tasted and reviewed Sazerac Rye. Just a few short years and a couple episodes later, we were delighted to hear that Saz/BT was releasing a 100 proof version of this rye whiskey. Developed in response to demand from bartenders and whiskey enthusiasts, this innovative expression is designed to offer enhanced flavor, versatility and control in cocktail creation while maintaining the smooth, approachable profile that defines Sazerac Rye. So how does it taste? But more importantly, how does it taste next to the classic "baby Saz." Give a us a listen and you'll find out. This episode is full of surprises. A mystery guest host, unexpected pours, and as always, a lot of fun. Cheers!

E289 - Wild Turkey Master's Keep Beacon Sep 12, 2025

Show notes

The Master's Keep series from Wild Turkey has been an annual release that we look forward to. This is why we were surprised to learn that the most recent release, Beacon, will be the last in the series. Beacon is meticulously blended 10 and 16 year old barrels from different places on the Wild Turkey campus. The blend showcases distillate from father and son and this is the first time that a Master's Keep bottle has included Bruce Russell. Did Wild Turkey save the best for last? You'll have to give us a listen to find out. In this episode we talk Kentucky Bourbon Festival and a lot of turkey. We also talk about recent barrel picks and upcoming releases of our picks.

E288 - Raconteur Rye Gemini I/II & Caleb's Crossing Blend of Straights Sep 09, 2025

Show notes

This is one of the most exciting shorts we've ever recorded. David Jennings is not only a good friend of the podcast, but he is also the proprietor or Caleb's Crossing and Raconteur Rye. This coincides with the newest releases from both brands. The fourth releases from Raconteur are actually two bottles: Gemini I (Indiana) and Gemini II (Kentucky). Both of these expressions are 95/5 ryes with different Mizunara oak finishes, but because they have different states of distillation, David & James from Woodwork invite enthusiasts to decide which one they like better. We have a consensus opinion based on our tasting and we can't wait to see what others think when they start getting their hands on these bottles. The third release from Caleb's Crossing is a Bourye (blend of bourbon and rye). After two inaugural standouts from Caleb's Crossing, we taste this one and tell you how it stacks up with the previous releases. We really appreciate David providing us with these samples. Cheers!

Burnt Church Distillery is the pride of Bluffton, South Carolina. Before it was Burnt Church, the road in the heart of Old Town Bluffton was known as Palmer’s Stretch.

E286 - Peter E. Hart Wheated Bourbon Sep 02, 2025

Show notes

According to a big box retailer, Peter E Hart's Wheated Kentucky Straight Bourbon is aged 8 years and has a unique mashbill using Honey'd Wheat and Honey'd Malted Barley. Due to this unique mashbill, the flavors are said to be "robust and smooth" at a very healthy 112 proof. So how does it actually taste? We'll be the judge of that. Join us for this short as we taste and review this unique bourbon. Though it is a recent release, the name is one steeped in history and the place it was distilled is amongst the best "craft" bourbon distillers in the U.S. Cheers everyone.

E285 - Nashville Barrel Company Mash Up Picks Aug 29, 2025

Show notes

You'd have to go all the way back to episode 17 to find the first time we ever tasted and reviewed anything from Nashville Barrel Company (NBC). Back then we could have never imagined that we would have our own barrel picks from NBC. Recently, Kenny took a trip down to Nashville and selected two Kelvin barrel MGP bourbons and one founders OG rye. Even though these were selected by Kenny, this episode marks the first time that we were able to get together to taste and review these. So join us this week as we talk about NBC and our recent picks from there. We still have a few left and you definitely don't want to miss out on these.

E284 - Elijah Craig Barrel Proof B525 Aug 26, 2025

Show notes

Elijah Craig Barrel Proof is a signature product from Heaven Hill that first released in 2013. Typically, this release happens three times during each calendar year. The most recent release, B525 has received some very positive reviews by most in the whiskey community. In fact, many have claimed that this batch is up there with some of the all time great batches. What do think? Is this the return to greatness for ECBP? You'll have to listen to find out. We want to thank our listener Kevin H. as he sent us this entire bottle to review. Just like the last time we reviewed an ECBP, Steven makes his return to the podcast after a short absence and hilarity ensues. Has Heaven Hill finally gotten it's groove back with this most recent batch? Let us say...maybe.
