E085 - King of Kentucky 15 Year Bourbon Nov 18, 2022

Show notes

Enthusiasts clock, wannabes jock…they wanna be down with the King. This week we talk about our second annual adult trick-or-treat extravaganza and crack open a bottle of King of Kentucky. This ultra limited barrel proof offering from Brown-Forman took the market by storm when it was released in 2018. This year, we were lucky enough to get our hands on this 130.9 proof/15 year old bourbon and we did what we do best - open it, drink it, and review it over some good conversation. Didn’t think these bottles opened? We can assure you that they do and should be consumed with friends. All hail the King 👑

E084 - Smooth Ambler Founders' Cask Strength Bourbon Nov 11, 2022

Show notes

Smooth Ambler took the bourbon world by storm after sourcing and bottling some of the best MGP bourbon on the market many years ago. Fast forward to today, John Little and company have gone from sourcing some of the best to producing and bottling their own distillate. This week, we taste and review the brand new Founders’ Cask Strength Bourbon from Smooth Ambler. This distillate is high proof, six years old, and is an outstanding example of what Smooth Ambler can produce. The conversation this week includes Steven and Maasak attempting to educate Anthony about furries, a discussion about fall favorites, and different nosing techniques. Will this Smooth Ambler Bourbon be “smooooooth?” You’ll have to listen to find out.

E083 - Knob Creek Small Batch 9 Year Bourbon Oct 28, 2022

Show notes

Knob Creek is a classic premium bourbon brand that has been accessible, reliable, and loved by many since 1992. This week, we reach for a bottle of Knob Creek 9-year Small Batch Bourbon to help celebrate the 30th anniversary of the brand. The conversation starts with Google search histories and then quickly moves on to thinking about vans as living spaces. There is yet another attempt to master history / geography which may or may not be entirely correct 🤣 Give us a listen this week to hear our take on this classic shelfie that is widely available in most markets. Will we pass, try, or buy on this bottle of Knob Creek Small Batch Bourbon?

E081 - Maker's Mark FAE-02 Bourbon Whisky Oct 14, 2022

Show notes

Maker’s Mark Wood Finishing Series started back in 2019 with the release of the RC6 stave finished bourbon. The 2022 release from the series is hitting shelves right now and features Maker’s aged at the top (BRT-01) and bottom (BRT-02) of the rickhouse. On the cusp of this new release, we were feeling nostalgic and turned back the clock to taste the the Maker’s FAE-02 bourbon the from the 2021 Wood Finishing Series release. This bourbon is a result of placing double heat treated french oak staves (infrared/flame) inside of barrels of Maker’s signature bourbon. Laugh along this week as we sip and discuss a recent Hollywood like experience for one of our co-hosts. Even though we try to get a little technical about Maker’s Mark, the giggles take over and the fellas find it hard to stay focused. Perhaps the bourbon is to blame?

E079 - Balcones Texas Single Malt Whisky Sep 30, 2022

Show notes

This episode is not about bourbon or rye. It’s all about Balcones American Single Malt and the great state of Texas. This style of whiskey is quickly becoming a favorite amongst those who would normally reach for bourbon. You’ll have to tune in this week to hear about how we acquired this bottle and whether we like it. Also, you’ll get to hear how bad Anthony is at pronouncing “Balcones” and how he led Steven astray. You’ll also hear a spirited discussion about the Calipari/Stoops saga and how the University of Kentucky is officially a football school. We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been!

E076 - Clyde May's Straight Bourbon Whiskey Sep 09, 2022

Show notes

Clyde May was a decorated military veteran and a prolific bootlegger that was once the most wanted moonshiner in Alabama. From most wanted to most loved, Clyde May’s whiskey is now the official state spirit of Alabama. Kentucky and Alabama might share a lot of sports rivalries, but bourbon can always bring us together. For this week, we review and taste Clyde May’s Straight Bourbon Whiskey. The enriching conversation has us wondering what happened to a pair of Nike shoes that went missing and whether fall bourbon season will be fruitful? Happy #bourbonheritagemonth
