I've been following Penelope as a brand for about as long as they have been a brand. They don't have a lineage or history with the spirits industry specifically, but their investment into this market is complete and whole. I've had occasion to meet Matt, Mike and Danny over the last year(even if they can't remember it) and really connected with the ethos behind the brand and the future vision of it. We'll talk through their inception, creation and launching of many different whiskey variations and whatever else happens to come up.

There have been a handful of highly anticipated releases in the last few months are there are more to come. If you aren't already following @comingwhiskey you probably should be and I know I use it to get myself hyped up for bottles that are on the horizon. Beyond that you should at least be on the mailing lists of all the distilleries you love. Thats how you get into the nitty gritty of the details. Tonight we talk about some things already released and some things to come.

Founding fathers had an interest in whiskey whether it be from a commerce or taxation perspective, and some brands carry the names today. I thought it fitting to talk about a few of these brands tonight considering I just returned from trips to Monticello, Mount Vernon and Washington DC.

I know almost zero things about Scotch. I've been a member of SMWS for over a year and that level of knowledge has grown tremendously. What they do with "demystifying" scotch is pretty damn amazing and those folks have agreed to join me for a chat tonight. https://www.instagram.com/smwsamerica/ @smwsamerica https://smwsa.com/

Writing a book is incredibly difficult. Writing a book on whisky while keeping an intact liver is probably even harder. Tonight's guest Shelley Sackier not only challenged the traditional boys club of whisky, but also the even more limited subset of whisk(e)y authors by publishing "Make it a Double". We'll talk about writing, whisky and whatever else comes up. @shelleysackier https://shelleysackier.com/ https://www.facebook.com/ShelleySackierBooks/ https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Make-it-a-Double/Shelley-Sackier/9781639361793 @pegasusbooks

Make it a Double

9:30 PM CST LIVESTREAM - Last week I had the chance to attend the TIMBP Weekend in Lexington and ended up at Michter's doing a tour with David from Whiskey in my Wedding Ring podcast. I picked up some Fort Nelson Select rye and thought it would be a good chance to compare it against the Micther's Single Barrel Rye I already have. And since we are doing a this or that I tossed in a comparison of Jack Daniels 10 year to Coy Hill. That seems a little unfair but this particular Coy Hill was aged 9 years in the same location as the 10 year JD offering. For it to be a fair comparison I attempted to proof down the Coy Hill to the same as the 10 year to see if they are even remotely similar as well as if the 1 year difference matters.

Foundational blocks like Rye, Corn, Wheat and Barley grain are often discussed as the beginning of whiskey, but if you've followed this podcast for more than 10 minutes you know those crops begin as ideas, then get nurtured before they can ever be mashed, fermented and distilled. Considering we are in the middle of the corn planting season for the majority of the United States lets have a quick refresher of the crops we covet, their impact on history, any initiatives that I could find and whatever else comes up along the way. I'll also be opening some bottles that I've picked up over the last few weeks and probably talking about them too.

Today we get the opportunity to talk to David Coors about the Coors Whiskey Company and its freshman offering into the whiskey marketplace. There isn't a shortage of new entries from a craft perspective into the bourbon marketplace or even the American Single Malt segment. It seems very few are trying to tackle the Blended American Whiskey market, but Coor's Whiskey has set its eyes directly on this.https://www.fivetrail.com/https://www.instagram.com/fivetrail/https://www.instagram.com/dcoors/

Subscription services aren't anything new, but the folks over at Blind Barrels are working on a new subscription based service that's an amazing deal regardless of what your whiskey connoisseur status is. We'll talk through their offerings, the ethos of the company and anything else that happens to come up. instagram.com/blindbarrels/ https://blindbarrels.com/

Talking with Blind Barrels

There are more than a few non-distilling producer brands popping up all over the whiskey marketplace. I challenge you to find many brands that have created as much buzz as Blue Run in the last year and a half. Mike was gracious enough to sit down with me and talk about Blue Run, their ethos, their future, their past and a host of other things. This conversation was shorter than either of us wanted it to be so I guess we'll just have to do part 2 in the near future. https://www.bluerunspirits.com/ @bluerunspirits @ellasdadmike

Butterfly Effect!!!

Let’s explore the stories around products, places and people that make them inherently interesting. Stories full of drama and passion. Stories filled with history. New stories. True stories. Less than true stories. We’ll mostly talk about bourbon and whiskey….but who knows what else might draw our attention.

Last week I had the chance to talk with Doug Burke and Ari Sussman from Mammoth Distilling. We talked about the history of rye as a crop here in the United States, the history of the spirit pre-prohibition, farming, and passion. What I really love about these types of episodes is the opportunity to talk to people who are legitimately passionate about the work they are doing. What’s coming next? I’d imagine we’ll be talking to Ari and Doug again very soon. https://www.instagram.com/arisussman/ https://www.instagram.com/mammoth_distilling https://mammothdistilling.com/

I'm a big fan of what Bardstown Bourbon Company is doing both with their own distillate and with other peoples distillate. One of those efforts is finishing bourbon in different casks. This episode will focus on the finishes that I'm aware of that are related to grapes. Wine, Cognac and Armagnac. Call me a fanboy if you will but these are some damn tasty bottles. We'll stream at the regular time provided a tornado doesn't blow my house away tonight.

Last week(end) was the yearly Whiskey Weekend hosted by the guys over at the Podcask. Tonight we'll take a few minutes to talk over the good and the bad(if there was any) and anything else that comes up along the way.

WWB4 Rewind

There's a few podcasts I listened to regularly before I decided that what the internet needed was yet another voice in the audio podcast community. This Is My Bourbon Podcast was one of those. I enjoy it's whiskey and non-whiskey related content and I knew I'd want to have Perry on my podcast at some point....well that point is now. Perry has a few things to talk about and so do I.Comics, parenting, pandemic, movies, whiskey, life, music and about everything in between.  This episode has something for everyone and at 3+ hours I’d hope it does.

Why do they keep saying yes???

So let me preface everything with…this was the longest episode I’ve done yet and if we had started earlier it would probably have been even longer.  The version loaded here is the edited version.  A full length stream is on YouTube and it ranges from whiskey, to therapy, to education, to travel and so so much more.  Take some time to digest it and enjoy.  Around a year ago I did an episode talking about women in whiskey. I posted something on social media about trying to get a decent list before I recorded and Morgan from Female Whiskey Society was the first person to respond. So of course I included her in my list. If you have been around the WhiskeyGram for more than five minutes you've seen Morgan.

Talking with Friends Again: Female Whiskey Society!!!!

For a long time St. Patricks Day was just another holiday...sometimes it fell during college spring break. Now that we talk about Whiskey every week maybe it's time to talk about Irish Whiskey, St. Patricks Day and the impact the Irish might have had on Kentucky. And yes...the thumbnail is straight up terrifying.

St. Patricks Day Eve???

I was introduced to Tim and Jack because of the wildly popular Instagram Live series called "Monday Night Sucks". Since then I've been able to spend time with them in real life and I consider them friends. Tonight we'll talk about social media creating real community, future projects and any other thing that comes up.

In 2020 Marianne Eaves began teasing her Eave's Blind subscription service. Given her notoriety and the marketing behind the effort, I was in. Now that we've completed the service it's time to do a review of it. Have a seat for 30 minutes and give it a listen.

Just what everyone needed. Another "How to Travel Bourbon Country" video. I've been in Kentucky most of my life, I've been to bourbon country a fair number of times. And I keep discovering things. But if you only have one shot at traveling here every few years I don't see any reason I shouldn't toss out my advice. This list is sponsored by no one and if you travel somewhere I tell you to go and you don't like it...well thats what you get for listening to a guy with 41 followers on Youtube.
