• Pre-festival activities included podcasting at Neely Family Distillery and hosting a fan meetup at Revival Vintage Spirits
• Acquired a 1946 Dowling Deluxe Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (distilled in 1938) from Revival
• Visited numerous distilleries including Town Branch, Jim Beam, Maker's Mark, and Old Carter
• Organized a bus tour featuring stops at Evan Williams, the Pendennis Club, and Old Louisville Whiskey Company
• Participated in a Maker's Mark Private Selection despite a power outage from a lightning strike
• CT heroically rescued a young woman from an overturned car during their travels
• Jim Beam "saved the festival" by ensuring enough special releases for general admission attendees
• Acquired bottles including Knob Creek 21, Booker's Reserve, Hardin's Creek expressions, and festival-exclusive picks
Join us next Tuesday when we'll announce our Christmas party, the Crystal Glencairn tasting, new membership packages, and the pre-sale of our Maker's Mark Private Select.
What happens when you combine Kentucky's biggest bourbon celebration with the Scotchy Bourbon Boys' passion for capturing authentic whiskey experiences? An unforgettable week filled with rare tastings, exclusive access, and unexpected adventures.
Our journey began days before the official Kentucky Bourbon Festival, with an ambitious itinerary that included podcasting with Rebecca Neely in their speakeasy, hosting fans at Revival Vintage Spirits, and acquiring a truly historic bourbon – a 1946 Dowling Deluxe distilled in 1938. Each day brought new discoveries as we visited Town Branch, Jim Beam, Whiskey Thief, and numerous other distilleries, capturing professional-quality content while immersing ourselves in Kentucky's bourbon culture.
The centerpiece of our pre-festival activities was our curated bus tour, taking whiskey enthusiasts to legendary Louisville destinations including the Evan Williams Experience, the historic Pendennis Club (birthplace of the Old Fashioned), Old Carter, and Old Louisville Whiskey Company. Walter Zausch's extraordinary hospitality at the Pendennis Club – featuring custom Old Fashioneds and a 25-year Derby bottle – exemplified the personal connections that make bourbon culture so special.
Among the most memorable experiences was participating in a Maker's Mark Private Selection despite the distillery suffering a power outage from a lightning strike. Selecting staves by natural light in the lakehouse created an atmosphere connecting us to bourbon's pre-industrial roots, resulting in a selection that perfectly accentuates the whiskey's creme brulee and caramel notes.
The festival itself revealed the growing intensity of bottle hunting, with some enthusiasts waiting hours without success. However, Jim Beam's generous allocation of special releases – including Knob Creek 21, Booker's Reserve 2025, and three Hardin's Creek expressions – ensured even general admission attendees could secure remarkable bottles.
Beyond the planned events, we experienced an unexpected moment of heroism when CT rescued a young woman from an overturned vehicle – a powerful remi

You know Brad Bonds did thisbecause he was sponsoring got us
a really good deal.
Um, I told him I didn't carewhat the bottle looked like as

long as the whiskey was good.
And it's because we had twobuses, we needed two bottles and
we picked up two 1946 DowlingDeluxes, kentucky Straight

Now, monday was a differentstory.

But we just showed up about oneo'clock and Steve was there,
(09:48):
and Steve is the tour guide andI showed him, all the emails
between Ben and Dave and weended up getting a great tour
and a thieving experience.
And their new thievingexperience at Town Branch is
fantastic.
I really enjoyed it.
It's nothing like Whiskey Thief.
It's basically kind of like athrowback.
(10:11):
The barrels are locked, theyopen each one up and then let
you taste out of them, so it'sreally kind of a cool experience
.
Steve, our tour guide, did agreat job, and then we came back
and cooked steaks out and madect, who joined us at this point,
um, eat tomatoes.
(10:31):
That's, that's funny.
Uh, inside joke right there.
But um, so the nash, I'm tryingnot to watch the game.
I'm going to watch it in delay.
Don't give me updates, god darnit.
All right, but it is a goodupdate, so I'm not going to
(10:52):
complain.
So then we finished up it hadstakes that night, hung out with
Sandy, and then we went back tothe house and hung out by.
I believe we started a firethat night, hung out by the fire
and hung out by.
I believe we started a firethat night, hung out by the fire
and then.
(11:17):
So then Tuesday what Tuesdaywas is?
We all had to help out.
So I wonder what?
Why?
Because we had something afteron Tuesday afternoon and I'm
trying to remember what it was.
There was so much that we didBecause Wednesday was our bus
(11:39):
tour.
There's a gap there.
Hey, Nash, you should let meknow what we did Tuesday night,
because it's it's, it's the.
We went, we, we helped andthere was a reason we had to
leave the in the afternoon.
We had to go do something.
There was one thing that we hadto do on Tuesday afternoon and
(12:03):
I forget what it was.
But then Wednesday was our bustour.
Our bus tour was phenomenal.
Walter Zausch came along, davidSandlin from House of Commons he
owns that bar in Frankfurt.
We had Amzie and Destiny Amzythank you so much for that
(12:27):
tasting of that Weller Antique107 from whenever.
And then we had great pours.
We had the Dowling on there.
We had so many different things.
There was the 50-minute driveup.
We did those special pours.
We then went to the EvanWilliams experience where we had
(12:49):
a great experience there.
Then we went to lunch at thePendennis Club.
Walter went beyond.
I mean, we're talking about,had an old fashioned to start
off, then went up and had lunchon a table that seated 28 people
in their main dining room, thentook us over to taste the Penn
Dennis 25 Derby Bottle.
(13:10):
And then when we left therewhich was we're already had a
fantastic experience, but weleft there went to Old Carter,
saw Mark Carter and ChristyAtkinson they did a great job.
I'm excited we're going to bejoining.
Hopefully we're working areally cool thing out with them.
(13:37):
And then after that we went toWhiskey Thief and I ended up
there and somehow Walter laggedbehind and couldn't get out of
Old Carter and he came in alittle bit late.
And then we went to OldLouisville Whiskey Company Old
(13:57):
Louisville Whiskey Company andthere we met up with Amin and we
got to taste through somereally, really good barrels.
So, uh, then it was grabordered, we ordered pizza and we
went on.
Oh, oh, my god, it's like ofcourse we ordered.
(14:21):
Uh, let me see if I can getthis back.
I don't.
It's just like go to YouTube,there we go.
We were back, had pizza and backat the Airbnb where we started
a fire and everybody sat aroundmellowed out.
(14:42):
But we all knew we had to getto bed early because of this
Maker's Mark.
We did a Maker's Mark, privateselection.
But it was the coolest thing,the Maker's Mark.
We did a Maker's Mark privateselection, but it was the
coolest thing.
The Maker's Mark privateselection was insane.
Their transformer had been hitby lightning the night before.
(15:03):
It was a pretty intensethunderstorm that morning and
they had no power.
When we got there I thought weweren't even going to get a.
We weren't even going to getanything.
And, uh, it was crazy that wegot something.
Um, we got the tasting with noelectricity at the lake house.
(15:26):
Uh, they opened up the doorsand let the natural light in and
actually, let me see, uh, wewere picking aft, we, we, we did
.
We had an interview with RobSamuel Samuels and we did that
(15:47):
in their offices to natural life.
That was cool, but let's seewhere is it?
Sanford Josephson was actuallycontacting me and he was like he
was doing a selection on theother team without realizing it
(16:10):
was us, and then he saw thevideo and realized it was us and
could hear himself on the videobecause we overlapped just a
little bit.
So that was really kind of cool.
Those are the kind of thingsthat are just amazing when
you're running around doingthings.
(16:31):
Now, once we'd finished with thepick, we ran over to Limestone
Branch Distillery and I pickedup something I'd been waiting
for for a year.
I picked up the Rocky PatelYellowstone Infused Tobacco
Cigars that they did thatStephen Fontaine's been talking
about.
I picked up my my first everbox of cigars.
(16:54):
I purchased um there.
Then we went to the trail hoteland mal ramos is such a
fantastic host.
We did a podcast from thespeakeasy that I'll be dropping
and alive.
You might have seen thatalready.
And then then from there wewent to on our way home to go to
(17:15):
Bourbon in the Air, becausethis is Thursday, the kickoff of
the festival.
There was an accident which wecame up upon where CT was in
front of us and he heroicallywent into the woods where this
car had gone in, flipped over,was on its side, and he pulls a
(17:36):
young lady out of her car and,as we're walking to see what
happened, got out of our car indirect traffic because we're on
a two-lane 55-mile-an-hourhighway.
In the middle of a curve, hecomes out with the girl in his
arms and thank god she was allright.
But we all know that whether he, if he, if the car was on fire,
(17:58):
he would have done it.
He just went in there and didit.
It was amazing and, uh, I stillcan't.
You know, I still am happy.
Um, I know chris thompson, ct,and he's part of our group
because he's just an amazing guy.
Now we finished up with that.
We still were able to get toBourbon in the Air this year.
(18:21):
For me and us, bourbon in theAir will call is where you go to
get all your emissions for thewhole festival up front, and one
year I had to wait and I missedpart of the bourbon.
Waiting for the bands this yearwas fantastic.
All the bands were there,everything that had to happen
(18:43):
happened and we were into thefestival for Bourbon in the Air
on time.
The great thing about Bourbonin the Air is all the distillers
are releasing some cool things,but the amount of people that
come to Bourbon in the Air isrestricted, and we buy the
tickets for Bourbon in the Airevery year because that is the
(19:03):
calm night that we enjoy thefestival, because we shoot some
video, we shoot some captures,we do a couple things, but we're
pretty much relaxed and tryingnot to work.
We're trying to enjoy that butstill capture what it is.
And there's also a certainamount of bottles for sale.
Now, I didn't buy any bottlesthat night.
I figured I'd get them whatwould you say organically
(19:29):
through the festival.
So the first morning of thefestival, as a media person, the
only people that get in linefor the bottles are the
president's VIP and then the VIPat 11, and then general
admission comes in for thebottles With us and our bands.
We really don't get in lineuntil the general emissions let
(19:53):
in, and that's when we are ableto get in line with them.
And the first day there was acouple things I was trying for,
and you know they releasecertain bottles, and so I wasn't
able.
I really didn't get anythingthe first day.
But I worked and the first daywas hugely successful.
(20:14):
We did two podcasts on thefirst day.
Usually I'm doing my schedulingand I don't even do a podcast
on the first day.
Kb, it was a good time.
So was the Michter's DistilleryBar.
Yes, bar, yes, larry, the, thethat mictors, just the, the when
(20:36):
we went up.
Oh, I know what we did ontuesday we went to amore and on
our way to amore we stopped atmictors and we met larry, who
just commented.
And we met him at theichter'sBar because we went up there and
we were doing and thank you forthe pour of the Bomberger's RFG
(20:58):
really fine grain RFG, I think,yeah, or RPG, whatever.
Thank you, larry, for that.
We appreciate it and it wasgreat to meet you also.
It was a very good time and meta lot of good people.
So that's what we did thatnight.
(21:20):
We went up to, stopped atMichter's, then we drove up to
Amore and had an unbelievabledinner cooked by Al Popsidoros
and Popsidoro and he is a thatthat I've.
We've raved about this, thisAmore restaurant, forever.
(21:43):
If you can go there, the foodis fantastic.
I don't order, I he, I ordereda, I ordered and I just let him
cook.
We bring him a bottle to cookwith and he cooks.
And this year everybody thespecial was duck.
So I thought when I order,sometimes I get the special, but
not this time.
He did a bone-in ribeye thatwas to die for that.
(22:05):
Even Super Nash would say yep,that was it.
And we stopped off at GregSchneider's house.
So we went to Michter's, thenwe went to Greg Schneider's
house for about a half hour andthen went over to Amore with him
and we all had one of thefinest meals that you I mean.
(22:27):
It's just unbelievable how goodof a chef that Al is, so
anyways.
So now we're at Bourbon in theAir that night, everything goes
good.
And so Friday morning rollsaround with the festival and,
like I said, I got nothing, butwe were working and it was
really kind of the coolest thing.
(22:47):
But on the bus tour, I was ableto.
When we were on the bus tour, Ipicked up Evan Williams, I
picked up the Master Blendbecause I always do and I picked
up the 12-year also.
So this is my first bottle of12-year.
I usually don't get a shot atit, but this is where I was
(23:08):
buying my whiskey this year.
Get a shot at it, but I this isthis is where I was buying my
whiskey this year.
So we'll be doing a nice littlepodcast on the Evan Williams 12
year and master blend.
I'll set this back down herebecause I've gotten, so that'll
back this off a little bit.
And then also on the tour.
So on the tour we picked up Iwant to say where is it?
(23:32):
It was a whiskey, is that?
No, is that the Whiskey Thief?
No, no, no.
Let's see, that's the WhiskeyThief, right?
I picked up this 5th of July,which was really cool, and 2025
release.
So I'm looking forward to thisbeing a podcast.
(23:54):
I always need another WhiskeyThief and I do.
It's true, we go through it alot.
Then we stopped off at one pointwhat day I think it was?
Wow, I got to remember Me SuperNash and we stopped off at
(24:17):
Preservation Distillery becausethat is by the trail.
I think we did that after thetrail.
We just stopped off and tastedbecause I I wanted and I tasted
them all and I was happy withthe rare perfection 14, which
was my original bottle.
So I was able to get that.
That will be a podcast.
(24:40):
I'll kind of set this off here.
I wonder if that yeah, that'skind of gone um, so those are
things that I picked up.
Also, rob samuels, uh, gavethis bottle here of um.
I gave Super Nash my openbottle but he this, um, right
now, the Star Hill Farm 2025, um, wheat whiskey, in my opinion,
(25:03):
is one of the best things Itasted so far.
So we got we picked up thatbottle.
The neely bottle here was whenwe were at neely.
Super nash got me this bottle,this of the bourbon and this is
their neely family distillery,kentucky straight bourbon
whiskey.
It's called the neelys, sothat's kind of a cool thing that
(25:23):
I picked up.
So this is all.
This is about all I had.
Oh, when we went to Jim Beam, Ipicked up this.
I love to pick up these littlespecial releases by Freddie.
This one is Kentucky Straight.
Oh, I don't have anything herebecause of whatever, but anyways
(25:47):
, this was the batch 9 and sothat I picked up.
Now I'm trying to.
So now we're back.
I think we're pretty much tothe festival now.
So the oh, I did also pick upthe pick, and so everybody.
(26:08):
The next podcast will thank you, randy, for PFG.
The next podcast, we are goingto basically announce our
pre-sale of our Maker's Mark,private Select, and at one point
(26:31):
I believe we're going toannounce all of next Tuesday, we
will announce our Christmasparty, the Crystal Glencairn
tasting and all the new packagesto join the Crystal Glencairn
Club, along with the release ofour newest pick.
That will be coming in a couplemonths, but I'm going to offer
(26:51):
the pre-sale to everyone.
So we'll talk about that.
I nosed this after it settledin and this is it's exactly what
I wanted to make.
I wanted to make a maker's markon.
I just wanted to accentuate thecreme brulee and the caramel.
So that's kind of what we did.
(27:12):
I'll tell you all about how thestaves were selected and
everything, but that's the nextpodcast, right there.
That'll be what's coming up.
So now we go go to.
A lot of people were frustrated.
There are people who waited inline three and a half hours on
friday and got nothing.
I didn't wait in line, I wasdoing the podcast, I was doing
(27:34):
everything, I was capturing allthe people, all the vip, all the
people getting stuff, um vvs,uh was released from uh heaven.
The line was outrageous butpeople stood in it and the one
thing I noticed was thepercentage of bottle collectors
(27:56):
was up this year and we'll kindof go over that.
So the next day, saturday, jimBeam, in my opinion, pretty much
saved the.
I just think they've saved thefestival because they released
(28:16):
Knob Creek, 21, bookers, thereserve 2025, this bowling pin
um eight year, which is reallykind of cool, it's, it's.
(28:39):
There was another bowling pinthat was ceramic and white, but
this is their eight year releaseand they released three Jacob
oh, not Jacob's um Harding,hardin's Creeks, and I believe
that Hardin's Creek is righthere.
So there was three of them.
(29:02):
You could have bought them.
I bought one, I bought Hardin'sCreek one.
Now this 20, this, this KnobCreek 21,.
I wasn't expecting that.
That's amazing.
The, the I got to taste thisyear's first ever Booker's that
was finished and I I I will gointo that bookers that I got in
(29:27):
the reserve fantastic, it's very, very good.
And then you just get the bowl.
The bowling pin was just I don'tknow what to say it was.
To me it was something that itwas reasonably priced and
something to get, but thathappened on to everyone.
(29:49):
There was enough for everyoneto get this.
The, the knob creek 21 did sellout and I wouldn't say, but
everything else was availableand throughout the whole day.
So in my opinion, that's whenthe festival was like, holy crap
, I am going to get some decentwhiskey.
(30:12):
And that's when my whole worldkind of lit up, and so I was
really excited to be able topull in the whiskey that we were
able to get.
So that was really kind of cool.
(30:32):
But then, well, the firstbourbon in the air, I got the
1776.
So let's move the stuff that'salready.
Oh, and I did get a JetBrothers from neely, so that was
kind of cool.
So let's take that.
Um whiskey thief, put thatthere now let's slide the
(30:55):
bowling pin back in here and,yes, the hardens creek, actually
different floors of differentrickhouses.
There were all differentrickhouses and they were
different floors.
Um, it was just to show thedifference between the same
(31:18):
distillate.
That happens.
And where did it go?
Oh, I put it down, and so thatwas really kind of a cool thing.
So there we go, um, and then Iwas able to get this foolproof
the night of bourbon in the airand talk to Ross, I, I does
(31:39):
anybody know if Ross, um,cornelison's child has been born
?
I would like to know.
Um, so that was really cool.
So then, thinking I wasn't, Iwas a little bummed because I'd
love to get cellar aged.
But on sunday we were able tosecure a cellar aged because by
(32:05):
this time all the cellar, allthe vips, had gotten a cellar
age and so was available to thegeneral admission, and that was
really kind of cool.
So I also was able to buy thekentucky bourbon festival pick.
So I got that also.
So that was kind of cool.
Then on, got that also, so thatwas kind of cool.
(32:27):
Then on the night of bourbon inthe air, I was able to get this
green river, and it's reallycool what it was.
They wanted to move out attheir tasting room.
They wanted to move out this,um, a weeded barrel that was
there so they could putsomething else in.
(32:48):
So they did these decanters andfilled that.
Now I did also go back.
So there you go, that's greenriver, and you got the wheeze.
So then I went back on Sundayand I picked up this bottle,
(33:12):
which was the Kentucky BourbonFestival Chicken Cock Pick
single barrel.
I had to do it.
All Greg Schneider ever talkedabout was these barrels that he
hand-picked the staves for andthen distilled the whiskey and
put it in, and all I could thinkabout ever and this is this is
a single barrel of one of thosebarrels that was picked
(33:35):
specifically for the festival.
So I was not going to miss outon that.
So then, or Sunday happens that,and so we do.
A Sunday was crazy becauseAugusta came on the podcast and
(33:59):
they did their, I believe,saturday.
They did the came on early andthey did their 17 year release
the 13, and the 10.
Now, I didn't buy the 17, butthe 13 was delicious and then
the 10 was even, I think, evenbetter.
So I picked those two bottlesup right from Matt, from Augusta
(34:20):
, now on Sunday.
Sunday, things were really coolbecause at Old Forrester I was
able to pick up two one.
They're over there, they'resmaller, they're the 117 series
which I love, and I was able topick up two of those after I
taste.
(34:40):
And then I went over to theWoodford and remembered I was on
this pick for Woodford ReserveDouble Oak and I'm like I got to
get my pick and I've tasted itand, quite frankly, it's
fantastic.
I think that's what I'm goingto taste tonight and wow, that's
(35:01):
just awesome.
So I'm going to quick, we're 9,14, I'm going to put this out
there.
Um, on tuesday we'll be talkingabout the maker's mark, but
this is the one.
Uh, should I barrel?
Should I do quickly the oldlouisville am I up to that?
(35:22):
Yeah, let's do it.
Let's do the Old LouisvilleWhiskey Company barrel bottle
breakdown of Woodford DoubleOaked.
The Kentucky Bourbon Festivalpick.
And this is something I'llquick do.
I'm going to do it.
(35:43):
The rating scale you've got toinat, uh, old louisville whiskey
company.
His experiences are fantastic,his, his, he's almost healed.
Folks getting him around thefestival was crazy.
But, uh, it should.
He should be almost healed.
But, uh, you gotta check outthe old Louisville Whiskey
(36:04):
Company there in there inLouisville, obviously you want
to get a hold of Amin and theexperience is unlike any other
on the bourbon trail.
So check it out.
His whiskeys are fantastic,what he's doing there and his
(36:24):
whole story is amazing.
So you guys make sure whenyou're in louisville to go visit
the old louisville whiskeycompany.
Uh, and then uh, the oldlouisville whiskey company
barrel bottle breakdown scale isbased off of knocks on the
barrel with the bung hammer.
(36:45):
You can get up to.
The categories are taste, nose,body and finish.
For the nose and the body youcan get up to four nocks, and
for the taste and the finish youcan get up to five nocks.
And if one's exceptional youcan get a ba-da-bop.
So here we go.
Oh my God, you can get it a butup up.
(37:07):
So here we go.
Oh my god, it's purebutterscotch.
I love this bottle.
I mean I did.
It tastes better than what Iremember, even when we picked
the blend.
That's wood, for double oak isa blend and you get to pick from
the different blends and decidewhich ones you want.
You pick the blend and thenthey bottle that for the
festival.
So on this nose, I'm going togive it a four.
(37:30):
Let's taste her at 94, proofthe body.
So I'm going to give the body athree.
(37:51):
Taste Taste to me is a five.
With a ba-dup-up ba-dup-up,which is six, and then the
(38:13):
finish is medium.
The finish is a three, four Athree, Four, Seven A four, a
(38:37):
three, a seven, A six, Thirteenand a 3.
6, so 4, 3, which is 7, and 6and 9 comes out to a 16.
(38:59):
So this gets in the OldLouisville Barrel Bottle
Breakdown a 16, 16 of 18, and itreally is one of my favorites.
This will go down as one of myfavorites there is.
So to finish up the day we'resitting there, walker gives roxy
(39:23):
this forbidden, signed byMarianne Eves, which is really
kind of cool.
She thanks him.
He also gave her a tasty apple,a candied apple, Maker's, and
she came home with the 15-yearIW Harper.
(39:45):
Thank you, Walker.
And then I'm walking out andRoyce Neely comes up and he's
like this is yours, Tiny.
He gives me this bottle of thenewest absinthe that's winning
the awards.
It's the most award-winningAmerican absinthe there is.
It's the most award-winningAmerican absinthe there is.
(40:08):
And I was like talked to Roycefor 10, 15 minutes after that.
I thanked him for it and I willenjoy that.
But then, to finish up, BardDistillery, which I've there's
(40:31):
no need to go into detail, butthere was a little bit of a
misunderstanding, and both of uswe made up her first name is
eluding me.
I want to say it's not thereright now, but as I'm leaving, I
(40:54):
was honored that she came upand, in good faith, gave me this
bottle of cinder and smoke,which we will be barrel bottle,
breaking it down and, um, thisis the bottle that they did for
the, the inauguration, the 2024inauguration.
(41:14):
And she gave me a awesome pinand I was just dumbfounded.
The end of that festival was soamazing.
I did interviews with macaulay.
I did interviews with Macaulay,I did interviews with David,
with Aaron Harris, I didinterviews with David Mandel, I
did interviews with Dave Bobfrom Town Branch, and there was
(41:45):
one.
And then we broke down atWhiskey Thief.
I mean, it was just anunbelievable end of the festival
and that kind of shows you.
You come home with this kind ofloot.
So I'm going to wrap this upright now, folks, I can't help
it, but I'm going to watch it,but we'll see what happens.
(42:07):
But tonight thank you forjoining us and let's see if I

We did a live and a podcast.
Fantastic stuff that they gotgoing on there, got to taste
some fantastic whiskey and thenwe went to left there and we had
went to Revival Vintage Spiritsand Bottle Shop in Covington,
which is another 40 minutesnorth.
(06:05):
There we had the ScotchyBourbon Boys night.
We were Brad Bonds, put it outthat we're going to be there.
Some of our fans came.
We did a podcast on the streetthat night, right from Revival.
We also purchased the whiskeythat, the Mary.
Oh, let's see if it's in therethere.
(06:25):
Do I got it here or did I takeit upstairs?
I think I took it upstairs, soit's not here, but we bought a
Dowling Deluxe from 92 of themfrom 1946, courtesy of revival.
You know Brad Bonds did thisbecause he was sponsoring got us
a really good deal.
Um, I told him I didn't carewhat the bottle looked like as
(06:46):
long as the whiskey was good.
And it's because we had twobuses, we needed two bottles and
we picked up two 1946 DowlingDeluxes, kentucky Straight
Bourbon Whiskey bottled in Bondeight year.
It was an eight year so it wasdistilled in 1938.
We picked that up and then wedrove the two and a half hours
(07:09):
back to our airbnb and got backabout 12, 15, you know, in the
morning, and then got up thenext morning, had this sunday,
had breakfast at 10 am with wemet her at the Bardstown Country
Club to have breakfast withSandy Ngo, went back to her
(07:33):
house a little bit and then weheaded up to.
We headed up to no, that wasLabor Day, so we stayed there.
So after we finished there wewent and had dinner 4.30 dinner,
yeah, we went back to theAirbnb and then had a 4.30
(07:56):
dinner and met Walker and RandyFord at Jim Bean where we got
there a little early.
We were able to get a couplethings and knobs.
You're going to really likewhat happened there.
And then, once we finishedthere, we went to the kitchen
table, had dinner and then gotinvited to Whiskey Thief.
(08:20):
Nash, myself and Roxy left JimBeam and went up to Whiskey
Thief in Frankfurt where we hungout after hours with Walter.
As he said we're closed, gothief yourself.
So that was kind of cool.
So we were at Whiskey Thiefthat night and then we got back
(08:43):
about.
We were there until about 8.30,and then got back about 9.30 on
Sunday.
Now, monday was a differentstory.
Monday was we went to let's see, we went to, got to do
something here.
This is too tight.
Yeah, there we go.
(09:04):
We went in the morning and we,what was it?
We, we went up because dave fromthe bards uh from, uh, come on
town branch, which is thelexingtoning Company and Town
(09:24):
Branch Distillery, invited us,reached out and said you should
check out.
We're open Labor Day, you know,do something.
You know we should be able todo something.
We went up there and Ben wasthe contact that we were trying
to get a hold of.
But we just showed up about oneo'clock and Steve was there,
(09:48):
and Steve is the tour guide andI showed him, all the emails
between Ben and Dave and weended up getting a great tour
and a thieving experience.
And their new thievingexperience at Town Branch is
fantastic.
I really enjoyed it.
It's nothing like Whiskey Thief.
It's basically kind of like athrowback.
(10:11):
The barrels are locked, theyopen each one up and then let
you taste out of them, so it'sreally kind of a cool experience
.
Steve, our tour guide, did agreat job, and then we came back
and cooked steaks out and madect, who joined us at this point,
um, eat tomatoes.
(10:31):
That's, that's funny.
Uh, inside joke right there.
But um, so the nash, I'm tryingnot to watch the game.
I'm going to watch it in delay.
Don't give me updates, god darnit.
All right, but it is a goodupdate, so I'm not going to
(10:52):
complain.
So then we finished up it hadstakes that night, hung out with
Sandy, and then we went back tothe house and hung out by.
I believe we started a firethat night, hung out by the fire
and hung out by.
I believe we started a firethat night, hung out by the fire
and then.
(11:17):
So then Tuesday what Tuesdaywas is?
We all had to help out.
So I wonder what?
Why?
Because we had something afteron Tuesday afternoon and I'm
trying to remember what it was.
There was so much that we didBecause Wednesday was our bus
(11:39):
tour.
There's a gap there.
Hey, Nash, you should let meknow what we did Tuesday night,
because it's it's, it's the.
We went, we, we helped andthere was a reason we had to
leave the in the afternoon.
We had to go do something.
There was one thing that we hadto do on Tuesday afternoon and
(12:03):
I forget what it was.
But then Wednesday was our bustour.
Our bus tour was phenomenal.
Walter Zausch came along, davidSandlin from House of Commons he
owns that bar in Frankfurt.
We had Amzie and Destiny Amzythank you so much for that
(12:27):
tasting of that Weller Antique107 from whenever.
And then we had great pours.
We had the Dowling on there.
We had so many different things.
There was the 50-minute driveup.
We did those special pours.
We then went to the EvanWilliams experience where we had
(12:49):
a great experience there.
Then we went to lunch at thePendennis Club.
Walter went beyond.
I mean, we're talking about,had an old fashioned to start
off, then went up and had lunchon a table that seated 28 people
in their main dining room, thentook us over to taste the Penn
Dennis 25 Derby Bottle.
(13:10):
And then when we left therewhich was we're already had a
fantastic experience, but weleft there went to Old Carter,
saw Mark Carter and ChristyAtkinson they did a great job.
I'm excited we're going to bejoining.
Hopefully we're working areally cool thing out with them.
(13:37):
And then after that we went toWhiskey Thief and I ended up
there and somehow Walter laggedbehind and couldn't get out of
Old Carter and he came in alittle bit late.
And then we went to OldLouisville Whiskey Company Old
(13:57):
Louisville Whiskey Company andthere we met up with Amin and we
got to taste through somereally, really good barrels.
So, uh, then it was grabordered, we ordered pizza and we
went on.
Oh, oh, my god, it's like ofcourse we ordered.
(14:21):
Uh, let me see if I can getthis back.
I don't.
It's just like go to YouTube,there we go.
We were back, had pizza and backat the Airbnb where we started
a fire and everybody sat aroundmellowed out.
(14:42):
But we all knew we had to getto bed early because of this
Maker's Mark.
We did a Maker's Mark, privateselection.
But it was the coolest thing,the Maker's Mark.
We did a Maker's Mark privateselection, but it was the
coolest thing.
The Maker's Mark privateselection was insane.
Their transformer had been hitby lightning the night before.
(15:03):
It was a pretty intensethunderstorm that morning and
they had no power.
When we got there I thought weweren't even going to get a.
We weren't even going to getanything.
And, uh, it was crazy that wegot something.
Um, we got the tasting with noelectricity at the lake house.
(15:26):
Uh, they opened up the doorsand let the natural light in and
actually, let me see, uh, wewere picking aft, we, we, we did
.
We had an interview with RobSamuel Samuels and we did that
(15:47):
in their offices to natural life.
That was cool, but let's seewhere is it?
Sanford Josephson was actuallycontacting me and he was like he
was doing a selection on theother team without realizing it
(16:10):
was us, and then he saw thevideo and realized it was us and
could hear himself on the videobecause we overlapped just a
little bit.
So that was really kind of cool.
Those are the kind of thingsthat are just amazing when
you're running around doingthings.
(16:31):
Now, once we'd finished with thepick, we ran over to Limestone
Branch Distillery and I pickedup something I'd been waiting
for for a year.
I picked up the Rocky PatelYellowstone Infused Tobacco
Cigars that they did thatStephen Fontaine's been talking
about.
I picked up my my first everbox of cigars.
(16:54):
I purchased um there.
Then we went to the trail hoteland mal ramos is such a
fantastic host.
We did a podcast from thespeakeasy that I'll be dropping
and alive.
You might have seen thatalready.
And then then from there wewent to on our way home to go to
(17:15):
Bourbon in the Air, becausethis is Thursday, the kickoff of
the festival.
There was an accident which wecame up upon where CT was in
front of us and he heroicallywent into the woods where this
car had gone in, flipped over,was on its side, and he pulls a
(17:36):
young lady out of her car and,as we're walking to see what
happened, got out of our car indirect traffic because we're on
a two-lane 55-mile-an-hourhighway.
In the middle of a curve, hecomes out with the girl in his
arms and thank god she was allright.
But we all know that whether he, if he, if the car was on fire,
(17:58):
he would have done it.
He just went in there and didit.
It was amazing and, uh, I stillcan't.
You know, I still am happy.
Um, I know chris thompson, ct,and he's part of our group
because he's just an amazing guy.
Now we finished up with that.
We still were able to get toBourbon in the Air this year.
(18:21):
For me and us, bourbon in theAir will call is where you go to
get all your emissions for thewhole festival up front, and one
year I had to wait and I missedpart of the bourbon.
Waiting for the bands this yearwas fantastic.
All the bands were there,everything that had to happen
(18:43):
happened and we were into thefestival for Bourbon in the Air
on time.
The great thing about Bourbonin the Air is all the distillers
are releasing some cool things,but the amount of people that
come to Bourbon in the Air isrestricted, and we buy the
tickets for Bourbon in the Airevery year because that is the
(19:03):
calm night that we enjoy thefestival, because we shoot some
video, we shoot some captures,we do a couple things, but we're
pretty much relaxed and tryingnot to work.
We're trying to enjoy that butstill capture what it is.
And there's also a certainamount of bottles for sale.
Now, I didn't buy any bottlesthat night.
I figured I'd get them whatwould you say organically
(19:29):
through the festival.
So the first morning of thefestival, as a media person, the
only people that get in linefor the bottles are the
president's VIP and then the VIPat 11, and then general
admission comes in for thebottles With us and our bands.
We really don't get in lineuntil the general emissions let
(19:53):
in, and that's when we are ableto get in line with them.
And the first day there was acouple things I was trying for,
and you know they releasecertain bottles, and so I wasn't
able.
I really didn't get anythingthe first day.
But I worked and the first daywas hugely successful.
(20:14):
We did two podcasts on thefirst day.
Usually I'm doing my schedulingand I don't even do a podcast
on the first day.
Kb, it was a good time.
So was the Michter's DistilleryBar.
Yes, bar, yes, larry, the, thethat mictors, just the, the when
(20:36):
we went up.
Oh, I know what we did ontuesday we went to amore and on
our way to amore we stopped atmictors and we met larry, who
just commented.
And we met him at theichter'sBar because we went up there and
we were doing and thank you forthe pour of the Bomberger's RFG
(20:58):
really fine grain RFG, I think,yeah, or RPG, whatever.
Thank you, larry, for that.
We appreciate it and it wasgreat to meet you also.
It was a very good time and meta lot of good people.
So that's what we did thatnight.
(21:20):
We went up to, stopped atMichter's, then we drove up to
Amore and had an unbelievabledinner cooked by Al Popsidoros
and Popsidoro and he is a thatthat I've.
We've raved about this, thisAmore restaurant, forever.
(21:43):
If you can go there, the foodis fantastic.
I don't order, I he, I ordereda, I ordered and I just let him
cook.
We bring him a bottle to cookwith and he cooks.
And this year everybody thespecial was duck.
So I thought when I order,sometimes I get the special, but
not this time.
He did a bone-in ribeye thatwas to die for that.
(22:05):
Even Super Nash would say yep,that was it.
And we stopped off at GregSchneider's house.
So we went to Michter's, thenwe went to Greg Schneider's
house for about a half hour andthen went over to Amore with him
and we all had one of thefinest meals that you I mean.
(22:27):
It's just unbelievable how goodof a chef that Al is, so
anyways.
So now we're at Bourbon in theAir that night, everything goes
good.
And so Friday morning rollsaround with the festival and,
like I said, I got nothing, butwe were working and it was
really kind of the coolest thing.
(22:47):
But on the bus tour, I was ableto.
When we were on the bus tour, Ipicked up Evan Williams, I
picked up the Master Blendbecause I always do and I picked
up the 12-year also.
So this is my first bottle of12-year.
I usually don't get a shot atit, but this is where I was
(23:08):
buying my whiskey this year.
Get a shot at it, but I this isthis is where I was buying my
whiskey this year.
So we'll be doing a nice littlepodcast on the Evan Williams 12
year and master blend.
I'll set this back down herebecause I've gotten, so that'll
back this off a little bit.
And then also on the tour.
So on the tour we picked up Iwant to say where is it?
(23:32):
It was a whiskey, is that?
No, is that the Whiskey Thief?
No, no, no.
Let's see, that's the WhiskeyThief, right?
I picked up this 5th of July,which was really cool, and 2025
release.
So I'm looking forward to thisbeing a podcast.
(23:54):
I always need another WhiskeyThief and I do.
It's true, we go through it alot.
Then we stopped off at one pointwhat day I think it was?
Wow, I got to remember Me SuperNash and we stopped off at
(24:17):
Preservation Distillery becausethat is by the trail.
I think we did that after thetrail.
We just stopped off and tastedbecause I I wanted and I tasted
them all and I was happy withthe rare perfection 14, which
was my original bottle.
So I was able to get that.
That will be a podcast.
(24:40):
I'll kind of set this off here.
I wonder if that yeah, that'skind of gone um, so those are
things that I picked up.
Also, rob samuels, uh, gavethis bottle here of um.
I gave Super Nash my openbottle but he this, um, right
now, the Star Hill Farm 2025, um, wheat whiskey, in my opinion,
(25:03):
is one of the best things Itasted so far.
So we got we picked up thatbottle.
The neely bottle here was whenwe were at neely.
Super nash got me this bottle,this of the bourbon and this is
their neely family distillery,kentucky straight bourbon
whiskey.
It's called the neelys, sothat's kind of a cool thing that
(25:23):
I picked up.
So this is all.
This is about all I had.
Oh, when we went to Jim Beam, Ipicked up this.
I love to pick up these littlespecial releases by Freddie.
This one is Kentucky Straight.
Oh, I don't have anything herebecause of whatever, but anyways
(25:47):
, this was the batch 9 and sothat I picked up.
Now I'm trying to.
So now we're back.
I think we're pretty much tothe festival now.
So the oh, I did also pick upthe pick, and so everybody.
(26:08):
The next podcast will thank you, randy, for PFG.
The next podcast, we are goingto basically announce our
pre-sale of our Maker's Mark,private Select, and at one point
(26:31):
I believe we're going toannounce all of next Tuesday, we
will announce our Christmasparty, the Crystal Glencairn
tasting and all the new packagesto join the Crystal Glencairn
Club, along with the release ofour newest pick.
That will be coming in a couplemonths, but I'm going to offer
(26:51):
the pre-sale to everyone.
So we'll talk about that.
I nosed this after it settledin and this is it's exactly what
I wanted to make.
I wanted to make a maker's markon.
I just wanted to accentuate thecreme brulee and the caramel.
So that's kind of what we did.
(27:12):
I'll tell you all about how thestaves were selected and
everything, but that's the nextpodcast, right there.
That'll be what's coming up.
So now we go go to.
A lot of people were frustrated.
There are people who waited inline three and a half hours on
friday and got nothing.
I didn't wait in line, I wasdoing the podcast, I was doing
(27:34):
everything, I was capturing allthe people, all the vip, all the
people getting stuff, um vvs,uh was released from uh heaven.
The line was outrageous butpeople stood in it and the one
thing I noticed was thepercentage of bottle collectors
(27:56):
was up this year and we'll kindof go over that.
So the next day, saturday, jimBeam, in my opinion, pretty much
saved the.
I just think they've saved thefestival because they released
(28:16):
Knob Creek, 21, bookers, thereserve 2025, this bowling pin
um eight year, which is reallykind of cool, it's, it's.
(28:39):
There was another bowling pinthat was ceramic and white, but
this is their eight year releaseand they released three Jacob
oh, not Jacob's um Harding,hardin's Creeks, and I believe
that Hardin's Creek is righthere.
So there was three of them.
(29:02):
You could have bought them.
I bought one, I bought Hardin'sCreek one.
Now this 20, this, this KnobCreek 21,.
I wasn't expecting that.
That's amazing.
The, the I got to taste thisyear's first ever Booker's that
was finished and I I I will gointo that bookers that I got in
(29:27):
the reserve fantastic, it's very, very good.
And then you just get the bowl.
The bowling pin was just I don'tknow what to say it was.
To me it was something that itwas reasonably priced and
something to get, but thathappened on to everyone.
(29:49):
There was enough for everyoneto get this.
The, the knob creek 21 did sellout and I wouldn't say, but
everything else was availableand throughout the whole day.
So in my opinion, that's whenthe festival was like, holy crap
, I am going to get some decentwhiskey.
(30:12):
And that's when my whole worldkind of lit up, and so I was
really excited to be able topull in the whiskey that we were
able to get.
So that was really kind of cool.
(30:32):
But then, well, the firstbourbon in the air, I got the
1776.
So let's move the stuff that'salready.
Oh, and I did get a JetBrothers from neely, so that was
kind of cool.
So let's take that.
Um whiskey thief, put thatthere now let's slide the
(30:55):
bowling pin back in here and,yes, the hardens creek, actually
different floors of differentrickhouses.
There were all differentrickhouses and they were
different floors.
Um, it was just to show thedifference between the same
(31:18):
distillate.
That happens.
And where did it go?
Oh, I put it down, and so thatwas really kind of a cool thing.
So there we go, um, and then Iwas able to get this foolproof
the night of bourbon in the airand talk to Ross, I, I does
(31:39):
anybody know if Ross, um,cornelison's child has been born
?
I would like to know.
Um, so that was really cool.
So then, thinking I wasn't, Iwas a little bummed because I'd
love to get cellar aged.
But on sunday we were able tosecure a cellar aged because by
(32:05):
this time all the cellar, allthe vips, had gotten a cellar
age and so was available to thegeneral admission, and that was
really kind of cool.
So I also was able to buy thekentucky bourbon festival pick.
So I got that also.
So that was kind of cool.
Then on, got that also, so thatwas kind of cool.
(32:27):
Then on the night of bourbon inthe air, I was able to get this
green river, and it's reallycool what it was.
They wanted to move out attheir tasting room.
They wanted to move out this,um, a weeded barrel that was
there so they could putsomething else in.
(32:48):
So they did these decanters andfilled that.
Now I did also go back.
So there you go, that's greenriver, and you got the wheeze.
So then I went back on Sundayand I picked up this bottle,
(33:12):
which was the Kentucky BourbonFestival Chicken Cock Pick
single barrel.
I had to do it.
All Greg Schneider ever talkedabout was these barrels that he
hand-picked the staves for andthen distilled the whiskey and
put it in, and all I could thinkabout ever and this is this is
a single barrel of one of thosebarrels that was picked
(33:35):
specifically for the festival.
So I was not going to miss outon that.
So then, or Sunday happens that,and so we do.
A Sunday was crazy becauseAugusta came on the podcast and
(33:59):
they did their, I believe,saturday.
They did the came on early andthey did their 17 year release
the 13, and the 10.
Now, I didn't buy the 17, butthe 13 was delicious and then
the 10 was even, I think, evenbetter.
So I picked those two bottlesup right from Matt, from Augusta
(34:20):
, now on Sunday.
Sunday, things were really coolbecause at Old Forrester I was
able to pick up two one.
They're over there, they'resmaller, they're the 117 series
which I love, and I was able topick up two of those after I
taste.
(34:40):
And then I went over to theWoodford and remembered I was on
this pick for Woodford ReserveDouble Oak and I'm like I got to
get my pick and I've tasted itand, quite frankly, it's
fantastic.
I think that's what I'm goingto taste tonight and wow, that's
(35:01):
just awesome.
So I'm going to quick, we're 9,14, I'm going to put this out
there.
Um, on tuesday we'll be talkingabout the maker's mark, but
this is the one.
Uh, should I barrel?
Should I do quickly the oldlouisville am I up to that?
(35:22):
Yeah, let's do it.
Let's do the Old LouisvilleWhiskey Company barrel bottle
breakdown of Woodford DoubleOaked.
The Kentucky Bourbon Festivalpick.
And this is something I'llquick do.
I'm going to do it.
(35:43):
The rating scale you've got toinat, uh, old louisville whiskey
company.
His experiences are fantastic,his, his, he's almost healed.
Folks getting him around thefestival was crazy.
But, uh, it should.
He should be almost healed.
But, uh, you gotta check outthe old Louisville Whiskey
(36:04):
Company there in there inLouisville, obviously you want
to get a hold of Amin and theexperience is unlike any other
on the bourbon trail.
So check it out.
His whiskeys are fantastic,what he's doing there and his
(36:24):
whole story is amazing.
So you guys make sure whenyou're in louisville to go visit
the old louisville whiskeycompany.
Uh, and then uh, the oldlouisville whiskey company
barrel bottle breakdown scale isbased off of knocks on the
barrel with the bung hammer.
(36:45):
You can get up to.
The categories are taste, nose,body and finish.
For the nose and the body youcan get up to four nocks, and
for the taste and the finish youcan get up to five nocks.
And if one's exceptional youcan get a ba-da-bop.
So here we go.
Oh my God, you can get it a butup up.
(37:07):
So here we go.
Oh my god, it's purebutterscotch.
I love this bottle.

It tastes better than what Iremember, even when we picked
the blend.
That's wood, for double oak isa blend and you get to pick from
the different blends and decidewhich ones you want.
You pick the blend and thenthey bottle that for the
festival.
So on this nose, I'm going togive it a four.
(37:30):
Let's taste her at 94, proofthe body.
So I'm going to give the body athree.
(37:51):
Taste Taste to me is a five.
With a ba-dup-up ba-dup-up,which is six, and then the
(38:13):
finish is medium.
The finish is a three, four Athree, Four, Seven A four, a
(38:37):
three, a seven, A six, Thirteenand a 3.
6, so 4, 3, which is 7, and 6and 9 comes out to a 16.
(38:59):

(40:08):

I thanked him for it and I willenjoy that.
But then, to finish up, BardDistillery, which I've there's

misunderstanding, and both of uswe made up her first name is
eluding me.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
