E026 - Kirkland Small Batch Bourbon Jul 16, 2021

Show notes

What can you purchase in the same store as bath tissue, sheet cakes and milk chocolate almonds? It comes in a one liter bottle, it is shipped on a pallet and you do not need a membership to buy it. Give up?! This week we pop the cork on a bottle of Kirkland Signature Small Batch bourbon. Does this Barton sourced Costco bourbon have what it takes to drink neat? Will the Costco fanboys pass out from its price? Helping this forklift operate are local county fairs, Barton’s business plan and is a liter too large?

We made it to episode 25! This week we take a look back at our journey to get to this point. We also look at the road traveled by this weeks bourbon. This week, our around the world selection, is a bottle of Blanton’s Gold bourbon. How does the Gold status differ from the regular bottle? Is it worth the hype? To help fill time we talk about all the different variations of Blanton’s, does Buffalo Trace have a hidden Blanton’s warehouse and is it time they update the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection (BTAC)?

For those times when one barreling is not enough…simply add a second! Filling our glencairns this week is a bottle of Woodford Reserve Double Oak (WRDO) bourbon. Does finishing aged bourbon in a new barrel make that much of a difference? Will Michael pick out a special note*? Other conversation topics are double barrel expressions, unopened bourbon bottles and coffee versus espresso.

E022 - Eagle Rare Bourbon Jun 18, 2021

Show notes

While eagles might be a rare sight, this bourbon use to be easy to find. Nowadays, it is only seen through allocations and store picks. This week we uncork a bottle of Eagle Rare (ER) store pick bourbon. From its wine shaped bottle to its classic notes, we re-explore this gateway bourbon. We also talk about this bottles age statement conspiracy, BT mash bill #1 and a very stingy Christmas gifter!

E021 - Knob Creek Small Batch 12 Year Bourbon Jun 11, 2021

Show notes

It was only a matter of time before we would have to review this bourbon. After months and months of commenting on all of their store picks, we finally put it in the hot seat. With this weeks selection, we sampled a non-store pick bottle of Knob Creek Small Batch 12 year bourbon. Do the fellas have to eat their own words? This has the making of a crazy episode. Filling out the commentary are white dog science projects, experimental bourbon lines and one loud AF snoring dog.

E020 - Maker's Mark Private Selection Bourbon Jun 04, 2021

Show notes

What comes to mind when you think of private selection bourbons? Do you think of seared French curée? What about roasted French mendiant? If so, then do we have a bottle for you this week. Filling our glencairns is a bottle of Maker’s Mark Private Selection pick (MMPS SP) bourbon. Does this Maker’s product follow in the footsteps of their other higher proofs with an overflow of notes? What can we learn about these special staves? Adding to the discussion are stave combinations, French oak in wine and a one shot pony.

E019 - Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage Bourbon May 28, 2021

Show notes

Black wax. Seven to eight year ago statement. A single barrel. This bourbon checks all the boxes for customer approval. The bottle of the week is Even Williams Single Barrel Vintage (EW SiB) bourbon. Does this bourbon preform well with all these boxes checked? Is there a disconnect between the nose and the palette? Following these scents is jury duty, dog doors and a bourbon calendar.

E018 - Jim Beam Distiller's Cut Bourbon May 21, 2021

Show notes

Can this bottle be considered a modern dusty? We brought out a bottle of Jim Beam Distiller's Cut (JBDC) bourbon from the archives. How does this bottle compare to the other variance in the Jim Beam bourbon catalog? Is this a bottle to share with friends and family? Other topics include the Kentucky Chew, the Jim Beam life cycle and wrestling. -------------------------- Socials IG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupky FB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupky TW: https://twitter.com/themashupky Music: All the Fixings by Zachariah Hickman Thank you so much for listening!

E017 - Nashville Barrel Rye Single Barrel May 14, 2021

Show notes

From the state that gave us the Great Smoky Mountains, honky-tonks and flap jacks comes a new chapter in their generosity. We pop the cork from a bottle of Nashville Barrel Straight Rye Single Barrel Pick (Nashville Barrel Rye SiB SP). Does this bottle bring it like the Parthenon, Grand Ole Opry and Dolly. Can eight years be too old for a rye? How will it hold up in the SEC standings? Joining the sippin’ are walks through liquor store sections, light whiskey and fireball secrets.
