A revolution is brewing in the Kentucky hills, and it's taking the form of a whiskey that's as good for the earth as it is on your palate. In this captivating episode, we dive deep into Star Hill Farm American Wheat Whiskey, Maker's Mark's groundbreaking foray into regenerative agriculture and sustainable whiskey production.

From the moment we uncork this extraordinary spirit, we're transported into a world where whiskey making and environmental stewardship blend perfectly. Rob Samuels' stark warning that "we're only 50 more seasons away from completely stripping out the nutrients from the land" underscores the urgency behind this project, which aims to transform one million acres of farmland through regenerative practices.

The tasting experience itself proves nothing short of magical. This 114.7 proof blend of seven and eight-year-old wheat whiskeys delivers waves of caramel apple pie, brown sugar crumble, raspberry, and subtle floral notes that earned it our first-ever perfect 18/18 score. The mouthfeel is luxuriously thick and silky, while the finish lingers with sweet complexity that continues to evolve with every sip.

Beyond the bottle, we share exciting updates about our upcoming Maker's Mark Private Select "Picked in the Dark" release, which will be available for pre-order soon at $89.99. We also announce our expansion to TikTok and details about our December 12th Christmas party, followed by a special Ambassador tour at Maker's Mark on December 13th.

Whether you're passionate about exceptional whiskey, sustainable practices, or the future of craft spirits, this episode offers a fascinating glimpse into how one distillery is working to heal the land one delicious sip at a time. Join us on this journey where earth meets spirit, and discover why Star Hill Farm Whiskey might just represent the future of American whiskey.

My birthday was on Sunday,september 21st.
We average on the podcastitself between 1,200 to 2,000
downloads a month as far as thenewer content, but on Sunday,

(07:02):
for some reason, we, in one day,there were two thousand three
hundred and eighty sevendownloads, which is equal to
over two months worth ofdownloads in one day.
I don't know what happened, butit was an exciting day.
I didn't even check that daybecause it was my birthday and I

(07:25):
was so busy that day.
But all of a sudden I go onMonday, I look and I'm like what

If someone, if someone, wantsto enlighten me, that would be
great.

That's neither here nor there.
We're ready to go.

(07:45):
So one of the things that Iwanted to start off with talking
with you, super Nash, aboutMaker's Mark.
You know, I think it wasinitially we didn't have any
direct contacts into it, but one.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
Our wives and ourselves love the experience of
maker's mark because when yougo to makers, when you beautiful
grounds and great experienceevery time you go there yeah,
you get to dip your own wax.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
I mean, last year on the holiday tour we actually
dipped on the actual wax line onthe actual bottling line.
Yeah, yeah, well, not on theline in the gift shop, which is
cool in itself, but we were ableto dip our bottles right there.
Um, that was fantastic.
So our experiences have alwaysbeen um, not as um.

(08:39):
What would you say?
We weren't completely uh.
Would you say we weren'tcompletely uh, involved with the

(09:11):
distiller, rob samuel, billsamuel jr.
Um, we were at the Icon Dinnerwhere Bill Samuels Jr and Rob
Samuel was there, and I got totalk to Rob for a couple minutes

Stave private select.
You can check it out onFacebook.
Still, the selection happened.
We're in the dark.
We moved from the cellar to thelake house because it's

The whole place was closed, butwe started in the morning at
8.30.
We're there and at about quarterto nine we got into the Rob

Super Nash, absolutely.
It was really cool to be thereand have Rob tell us about how.
You could just sense how proudhe was of this project, and when
we were with Amanda Humphreyshe was proud too.

(21:11):
One of the things they have asfar as not just wheat and
whatever, they're starting anoak forest, they're planting it.
And they're planting, you know,have it.
Right now it's an oak sprouts.

(21:34):
They're not trees even yet, buthopefully we can live to see it
, get certain to get some ofthose trees.
You know, tall enough that itlooks like a forest, yeah, and
then, um, but they also have onon site.
Uh, they grow all their herbsand spices for their restaurant.

(21:57):
They have, um, bees all overthe place that are, you know
they're, they're bee farming.
And then, uh, truffles, there'struffles.
They have a, they have a.
One of the dogs is really goodat finding truffles, so that's
been pretty cool.
I've never.

(22:17):
I never knew how that was done,but you know, we got.

Speaker 3 (22:21):
They actually created like a mushroom and truffle
growing area and all Yep, whichwe were able to check that out
while we were down there.
Yep, for sure, which one oftheir chefs at the restaurant
incorporates all those into someof his recipes.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
Yes, that is for sure yes, that is for sure.
Yeah, greg said we'll be longdead by the time those white oak
trees will be mature to harvest.
Yeah, I wasn't talking aboutthat, I was just talking them,
see, grow so they look liketrees.
Thanks for that.
Thanks for that, greg.
Thanks for that little tidbit.

(23:07):
Oh my God.
Well, anyways, 26101, exactlyit.
That was it All right.

Speaker 3 (23:20):
So you want to get into a little bit more about
this Makers Mark.

Speaker 1 (23:25):
Well, we've covered a lot of Makers Mark so far, have
we not?
I mean Star Hill Farms, yes,yes, so now we're going to start
to the.
So do you want to start the?
Are you going to read some ordo you want me to?

Speaker 3 (23:36):
yeah, I'm going to read off the back of the bottle
of this should I do the introthough?
Okay, we haven't done the introyet.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
So we got anonymous, anonymous Anonymous on YouTube
saying he'll take a Guinness anda triple shot of Jameson.
I've got some Jameson if youwant to come over, that's for
sure.
I don't think I got anyGuinness right now.
All right, I will do the quickthing.
Old Louisville Whiskey Company.

(24:05):
They're in Louisville, kentucky, soon to move to Shively Old
Louisville and Amin there isproducing some fantastic whiskey
with barrels that Amin is likea mad scientist, obtaining
barrels and aging them out andfinishing them off and then

(24:28):
blending them and then you canthieving them right from the
barrel.
Old Louisville Whiskey Companyis an experience unlike any
other.
It's a personal, up-closeexperience with the man who I
mean.
99% of the time you go thereyou're going to get a mean and I

(24:52):
don't know where you can dothat Anywhere else in this.
He's the guy and his experience.
Now.
He does have some peopleworking for him now, which was
nice to see, because he prettymuch is working his butt off for
this.
He doesn't release anything.

(25:12):
Seven years They've got to beseven years or older.
So that's pretty much what Amindoes there at the Old
Louisville Whiskey Company andhe is the sponsor of our barrel
bottle breakdown.
All right, you can read it now.
We're barrel bottle breakingdown this Star Hill Farm wheat

(25:33):
whiskey.

Speaker 3 (25:35):
American wheat whiskey.
Thank you All right.
Our inaugural release marriestwo all-new mash bills one of
soft red winter wheat and maltedbarley and another of 100%
malted wheat Carefully maturedand bottled at cast strength.

(25:56):
This whiskey reveals nature'sgifts in their truest form,
offering a spectrum of soft,sweet and complex flavors.
Star Hill Farm Whiskey is theultimate reconnection of whiskey
maker and land, and we are.

(26:18):
This 2025 edition is made up of51% soft red winter wheat, 27%
malted soft red winter wheat and22% malted barley.
It's at 114.7 proof.
Are you ready to pour the pouror have you already done it?

(26:42):
I have poured it.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
I opened this when I got back from Kentucky, which
would have been one, two.
I would have been back on the9th, I think, and we are on the
20.
So it's been 23.
It's been for about two weeks.

(27:08):
It's been open for two weeks.
It's been open for two weeksand what's?

Speaker 3 (27:11):
also cool.
Not only is the bottle thesebottles are made from recycled
glass but these paper labelsthat are on here.
They are made from 100%recycled materials wheat, fibers
and Maker's Mark paper waste.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
Yeah, they've always put so much time and effort into
their labels.
This whole thing is asustainable.
It's for regenerative farming,sustainable everything, farming,
sustainable everything.
When Rob was talking, he'stalking about being responsible,

(27:52):
having a bourbon or a whiskeylike this wheat whiskey that
takes up so much grains thatthey want to eventually have all
of it, all of their grains,grown this way, and then also
they were talking aboutspreading it to other

(28:13):
distilleries to basically geteverybody on board to start
healing the planet.
I think he said we're only 50more seasons away from
completely stripping out thenutrients out of the land.
Is isn't that what?
I think?
That's what he said, right?
So he, they, they don't want todo that and they're hoping that

(28:34):
it spread.
It spreads to all industries sothat, you know, is a a big
responsibility.
But it's really cool becausewhen you go to makers, mark the
experience and the lands rightthere and, uh, you can see how
they can do it.
They show you how they're doingit.
But at the same time, this,this wheat whiskey is like a

(28:55):
craft.
This is done like a craft, uhspirit to.
In my opinion.
You know, this is what you getusually when you're at craft
distilleries, because they'reusing and sourcing local farmers
and a lot of times thosefarmers haven't uh that they're
using for their grains, have notum bowed down to the big

(29:16):
corporate.
Uh, you know the gene, you know, you know splicing and all the
stuff and you know they.
They do it a little bit moreand in some place you know more
um organically, most of the.
You know a lot of the becausethey're not doing it on the
level of makers mark, jim beam,heaven hill, and.

(29:37):
But the fact that makers markis taking this on to me is
really really kind of cool.
Yeah, so now most people sowheat, as Ed Bly has explained
to us many times that wheat is asofter, not as hardy form of

(30:04):
wheat as a rye wheat is Okay.
So opening it up and letting itbreathe is very important when
you buy a wheat weeded bourbonor a wheat whiskey and so we
have and, honestly, when I firsttasted the, the weeded um, what

(30:26):
would it be?
When I first tasted this wheatwhiskey off of it was a little
bit hot to me.
When I picked it up from Johnand opened it up and tasted it,
but as it sat that, it became meand roxy's favorite pour um in

(30:50):
the month of august.
So I will say that you've gotit opened a little bit longer
than I do there, super nash,because you have that bottle,
but but this bottle already fromwhere it was two weeks ago.
I already can tell on the noseit's fantastic.

(31:10):
So are we ready to do thebarrel bottle breakdown?
Old Louisville Whiskey Companybarrel bottle breakdown rating
system.

Speaker 3 (31:22):
Absolutely.
On the nose and the body, youcan give it a total of four
barrel knocks, and on the tasteand the finish, you can give it
up to five barrel knocks, and ifyou have one exceptional
category, you can give it abutt-up-up.
A butt-up-up Exactly that'swhat I said.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
I heard a.
I did not hear a butt-up-up,because this has to do.
If anybody ever knows, you cango back in the end of season
four.
Roxy and I were on vacation andthat is where the butt up up
came from and you willunderstand why it's called a

(32:05):
butt up up.

Speaker 3 (32:06):
But you know, there you go, you've got to go back to
season four and check that out.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
Yep, alright, so I am thinking that this smells like
liquid creme brulee.

Speaker 3 (32:26):
It is so caramelly, oh my god, oh no, like some
fresh baked bread.

Speaker 1 (32:38):
Or butterscotch, liquid butterscotch.
I'm just.
It's just in my glass right now.
Oh, it's just fantastic, I'mgoing to go on the nose.
It's just in my glass right now.
Oh, it's just fantastic, I'mgoing to go on the nose.

Speaker 3 (32:52):
It's getting A little bit of crude off of that too.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
I'm going to give the nose a four out of four.

Speaker 3 (33:06):
God, that nose.
I think it's raspberry.
I think I'm getting raspberryover there you can roll these,
these glens too.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
I did not know that, did you?
Or this glass?

Speaker 3 (33:23):
it spilled a little.
How did you see that?
I saw you lick it off yourfinger.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
I did where's the straw?

Speaker 3 (33:33):
I think this is one of my plugged noses.
What are you going to give it?
Wow, I'm right on the edge ofthree and giving it a four.

(33:55):
Each time I smell it, I'mcoming away with something else.
I'm going to have to give it afour, concur, concur alright,
you're on the body.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
It's got some long legs in that glass.
It stays on the edge of thisglass for a long time very thick
and it's thick in the mouth too.

Speaker 3 (34:24):
I mean it's just, it just coating my tongue, hitting
all the sides.
I mean that's one of thethickest whiskeys that I've
tasted in a while.
I'm going to have to give it afour on my body.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
Did we ever say what proof this is?

Speaker 3 (34:49):
Yes, I did.
It is 114.7.
114.7 proof.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
Man that's got a body of like a 130.

Speaker 3 (35:05):
Doesn't it?
That's what I say.
It was hitting all the sides,top Cheeks stings, and it's real
thick, doesn't it?
That's what I say.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
It was hitting all the sides, top cheeks stings,
and it's real, real thick realviscous God and it's got a hug,
but there's nothing superaggressive as far as I will give
the body of four also.
All right, we're wow, realbuttery on the palate, silky and

(35:59):
buttery when I'm getting offthis right now, you're probably
not but two weeks open.
I will tell you I am gettingstraight up a caramel apple.
I get caramel on the front withthis apple-y.
It's just, it's crazy.

(36:24):
I'm getting.

Speaker 3 (36:26):
I'm getting caramel.
I'm getting raspberry.
I'm getting a little bit ofchocolate.
I'm getting.
I'm getting caramel.
I'm getting raspberry.
I'm getting a little bit ofchocolate.
I'm getting.
I'm getting a little bit ofthat yeasty bread taste.

Speaker 1 (36:44):
I get that, but let's see what this is.
Do they got tasting notes inhere?
I'll see.
Would you give it on?

Speaker 3 (36:58):
the body.
A four, you're up on taste.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
No tasting notes.
Was there tasting notes on onit no?

Speaker 3 (37:29):
all right offering a spectrum of soft, sweet and
complex flavors all right umflavors, all right.
And also one other thing thatwe didn't mention the grains

(37:49):
were harvested, distilled andbarreled in fall of 2016 and
fall of 2017.

Speaker 1 (37:57):
Yeah, seven and eight-year-old wheat whiskey.

Speaker 3 (38:00):
Yeah, mmm.

Speaker 1 (38:08):
I'm going to give the taste a five.
I like it.
I do too, I concur.

Speaker 3 (38:18):
There's just so many flavors coming through on that,
no ethanol.
You're getting nothing butflavors just popping on it and
just they're continuing all theway back.
What a wonderful, wonderfulwhiskey.

Speaker 1 (38:39):
All right, so now you're the one who goes to the,
you're the one who sets us upand goes straight to the.
John saying it's yes, we do Bigchef John's saying it's buttery

(39:07):
into the bowl and black orraspberry with vanilla.
That's where I got, where youprobably should be.

Speaker 3 (39:28):
You're on for finish.
Wow, this is also a greatfinish on it.
I mean, the flavors just keepgoing and going.
It's got a long finish to it.
That's where I would get theflavors just keep going and
going.
It's got a long finish to it.

Speaker 1 (39:42):
That's where I would get the black raspberry.
It goes from apple to a blackberry and it almost has a floral
finish to me right now, which,if I remember what you're doing,
I'm getting that floral as Ijust sort of smack the air over

(40:03):
my tongue Like a menthol floral.

Speaker 3 (40:06):
Yeah, and it's getting that little bit of
floral on the finish.
I'm going to have to go five onthe finish.
Dude, he goes five.
I mean, this is everything youwould want up until that lasts

(40:26):
up until that for the flavors,all the flavors, to come through
like it does, and and then thenice hug on the end, and then
it's just long lasting.
I mean, I'm still getting thoseflavors.

Speaker 1 (40:52):
There's the apple.

Speaker 3 (40:57):
There's the blackberry.
I get that little bit of appleright up on the tip right when I
first taste it.

Speaker 1 (41:13):
Well, I get a lot of caramel on the tip, but then as
you start to go across the backpart of the tip that's when the
apple it tastes like a caramelapple to me.

Speaker 3 (41:19):
I will go.
I want to say almost like ahave you ever had a caramel
apple pie with the crumbs on top, with the brown sugar crumble?
They sold them to Sam's Club.
That's where I used to cookthem up and that's exactly what

(41:43):
this thing tastes like I wouldsay I'm torn, but I gotta go, I
on.

Speaker 1 (41:55):
I think, the further this goes along, I think in
another two weeks to three weeksthat this finish for me would
be a five, because I know I'vealready evolved the bottle.
Okay, and you've got theevolved bottle, which is
freaking fantastic.
This has been open for quite awhile, yeah Right, and he's like

(42:15):
John's, like French oak applepie.
I'm not quite getting thesweetness yet off that finish
and it's a little bit and that'snot my favorite.
A floral finish isn't myfavorite.
I think it's unique, but I amgoing to go with a four on my
finish.

Speaker 3 (42:35):
Yeah, john, what you're talking about.
Yeah, it's a French apple piewith the caramel on top Crumble.

Speaker 1 (42:44):
Now maybe I can Brown sugar Crumble.
Hold on, let's just put alittle bit more in here.
Like I said, I opened it A lotof brown sugar and caramel.
Sometimes you got to open itand take a pour out, and I
really didn't take a pour out, Ijust open, got it open, let the
air and then I put the cap backon.
So it's still, the nose isexactly what'd you?

Speaker 3 (43:19):
what'd you give it?
Or you haven't given it yet allright, five.

Speaker 1 (43:29):
I gave it a four but I just added the five because
when I this little bit out ofthe bottle and shaking up the
bottle a little bit, poured itin there there was the sweetness
of the apple pie, Whereasbefore I was almost getting
blackberry and a little bit offloral and a little bit of
bitterness, which made me I likeeverything it's doing, but it

(43:51):
wasn't quite to the point whereI really want a sweet finish
when I give it a five.
So I poured that little bit,which is a little shook up now
because I poured it, mixed up alittle bit and there it is there
was the sweetness.

Speaker 3 (44:06):
That's what I was saying.
This sweetness comes all theway through, all the way to the
finish.
I mean getting that sweetnessof brown sugar, the tartness of
apple, you're getting thevanilla, you're getting the
caramel, all of that's comingthrough.
This is my honestly.

Speaker 1 (44:25):
Then, after all that goes down, after it sits for a
little while and you breathe,then I get that little bit, that
little bit of floral taste thisis going to be, this is going
to this year, instead of doingour bourbon of the year, we're
going to do our whiskey of theyear, of what we tasted, and,

(44:47):
yes, most of them are going tobe bourbons, but this sweet
whiskey is, this is.
I honestly think this is thebest thing as far as a batch
goes I've tasted this year.
I loved the finished bookers,but this has a certain aspect.

(45:08):
That's just a little bit.
It's a nose-to-nose thing, butin the photo finish I picked
this and Cellar Ag aged is good.
There's no doubt cellar age isgood, but it's not this.
Do you agree?

Speaker 3 (45:29):
yes, I agree.
Yeah, it's, it's totallydifferent.
Uh, john asked on the chart,I'll create that sweetness.
Actually, john, the sweetnessis coming from the barrel of
wood itself.
As it permeates into the wood,it's taking out all the wood

(45:51):
sugars, as we're getting allthat sweetness from.

Speaker 1 (45:58):
So Big Chief says he's Scottish himself but he
likes bourbons.
Maybe you could recommendsomething to him.
He also likes scotches.
I mean honestly, what would beover in Scotland that you'd

(46:19):
recommend to him?
I'm trying to think.
I know Maker's Mark is big.
Everywhere Anybody goesanywhere there's Maker's Mark,
but that's neither here northere I recommend.

Speaker 3 (46:34):
Michter's.

Speaker 1 (46:36):
Yeah, I would say any of their toasted.
Any of Michter's toastedbottles.
The toasted bottles, they'reall fantastic, even down to the
rise.
But the bourbons are even more.
Or the sour mash americanwhiskey is good too yeah, yeah.

(47:02):
Yes, what Walker said, charringis a filter.
There is no doubt charring is afilter, but it also is a flavor
.
There's a flavor additive.
I always find it unique whenyou think about it.
The scotches they use usedbarrels.

(47:35):
So in those barrels is all thein that charcoal layer, is all
the stuff that has theundesirables are in there
already.
And then when you think aboutit, does it does it.
When you fill that up, does itstart.
Just it activates the charcoaland it starts taking it out of
the scotch.
You know what I mean.
Or does it release some of thebourbon undesirables in there.
But that would be a goodquestion for greg.
Yeah, I mean, when you'rereusing a barrel, is some of the

(47:58):
undesirable stuff filtered outof the charcoal?

Speaker 3 (48:04):
Is it released into the whiskey or to the scotch?
Yeah, that would be what you'retrying to say, right?
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (48:10):
yeah, so we're at the point 18 of 18.
We each gave it 18.
We each gave it 18.
So the old whiskey, the oldlouisville whiskey, company's
barrel bottle breakdown of starhill farm american wheat whiskey
for the, for the scotchybourbon boys, is 18 out of 18.

Speaker 3 (48:42):
Very good, another so do you have them all in a
notebook?

Speaker 1 (48:50):
No, I got them all stacked in my little standing
file Well before you come up theweek before.
We should do a review of them.
You know what I mean.
You go through the ones that werated.
Now I would have to say thatwhat we rate on the podcast,

(49:11):
these days our level of bourbonhas gone off the charts.
We used to not be able to getall these bottles, as you know.
Now, I mean 18s and 19s and17.5s are common, consistently.
Uh, on this podcast, wouldn'tyou say?

Speaker 3 (49:33):
anywhere from uh 15, 15 to 18 is pretty common.

Speaker 1 (49:39):
Right.
So yeah, one of these times wegot to do just the regular
off-the-shelf, we got to do apodcast with the shelfers.

Speaker 3 (49:52):
I got some Tin Cup down here.

Speaker 1 (49:55):
Yeah, Tin Cup, Elijah Craig You've got a lot of them
that are there.
Jim Beam, Black Label, WhiteLabel You've got Evan Williams.

Speaker 3 (50:15):
I mean realistically.
It's been a long time.
I got a bottle of Rebel Tenuredown here.

Speaker 1 (50:17):
Well, rebel Tenure has been on there before.

Speaker 3 (50:20):
I mean, I would say, oh, I just have to say this that
would be Ezra Brooks.

Speaker 1 (50:31):
We would do Ezra Brooks.

Speaker 3 (50:34):
This is from Matt Brood.
That's the original.

Speaker 1 (50:39):
Yeah, I've got that here.
Watch, watch this yeah oh, do Ihave it right there?

Speaker 3 (50:46):
I used to have it right there yeah, the old root
eight, and that's the one thatwon the awards.
Oh my god, I have so muchwhiskey.
I bet that tastes so good rightnow.

Speaker 1 (51:03):
Yeah, anyways, we've got a couple minutes.

Speaker 3 (51:12):
How about some Blade and Bow?

Speaker 1 (51:16):
I love Blade and Bow.
Blade and Bow.
I love that that I never got mycup yet.
I don't believe I gotta do it,because the keys you gave me the
whole key thing I just neverdid it oh really, you know, I
might have.
Then again, I might have doneit, and that just means my cup's

(51:40):
sitting there.
It's been a while.
I know my cup's sitting thereis Stitzel Wellerf did it sell
uh.

Speaker 3 (51:55):
I don't know whether you we need to find out about
that.

Speaker 1 (52:01):
Yeah, there's so much stuff going on.

Speaker 3 (52:04):
Because I don't want them throwing my cup away.

Cardiac Cowboys

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.
