I've been trying to find this bourbon for a while, folks. No, seriously. Years ago, I was told of a bourbon that was 4 years old, brand new, and held promise for the future of the industry as we know it. Have you heard of it? Well, funny enough, I've heard this story over and over again, and it's lead to successes unheard of on so many occasions. But, here we are, facing down the barrel of the potential...
It's my esteemed pleasure to welcome back to the show our dear friend Chad (Chade?) Watson, AKA MyDailyBourbon, to the show, while also bringing into the TIMBP family a new face, that you may or may not be seeing a whole lot more of soon, Mr. Kyle Wipert! He's a Lexington, KY local that has become a close friend of the show and is bringing some incredible energy to the podcast. We hope you enjoy him being ar...
When life gives you lemons (meaning you tried to get a bottle of bourbon to review and it wasn't there when you thought it was going to be), what do you do? You turn the whole episode of your podcast upside down and try a bourbon 11 different ways to tell people how they should drink it! Now, and I mean this sincerely, I'm starting to think that there may be more ways than we've previously considered......
We're back in the full swing of TIMBP things, folks, and it's time to check out the newest, hottest release from the folks at the Willett Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky! Featuring two separate mashbills and a cask strength bottling, this Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey has had folks wondering if it's the next big thing for their home bars. But, does it live up to expectations? Plus, I've got s...
As another year is officially in the books, I'm taking one final look back before we say goodbye to 2025 forever. What are some of the best pours, some of the worst, and some of those right in between that just didn't quite make the cut? Were you able to predict what I had in my top 10? Were there bourbons (and/or ryes) that should've been here? And what the heck is this Flying Blind I've got lined...

It's the last TIMBP of the year, folks, and we're squeezing one last review in before the clock strikes midnight! That's right: we're taking a final look at a bourbon release that could very well knock our collective socks off (all two of 'em) and give the rest of the year a run for its money. Plus, there was some ...
As we reach the end of the year, I thought it was important to take some time to look at what made 2025 successful and where it fell apart. As I bring Chad Perkins from It's Bourbon Night on to chat about it, we look at the releases we got, the distilleries that opened (and...closed), and how the market fought against all odds to to show up and out in any which way possible. Plus, we check out and review the newe...
It's beginning to look a lot like Rye Time! And we've got two ryes that are going somewhat head to head this week for a double review for you, dear listener/viewer. One, being Rare Character's cocktail rye and the revival label "Hurst Knoll," comes from Lexington, Kentucky, while Seelbach's private label "Christmas Rye" has something to offer for anyone looking towards nostalgia...
It's time once again, my friends, for another installment of one of my favorite series here on TIMBP. On "The Best Way to Drink," I'll be taking Old Grand Dad 114 to the mat and giving it the 4 pour treatment. Will neat, a splash of water, on the rocks, or with cola this time around? Plus, I'm revisiting a pour from earlier this year to see how it stands up. Get in for a good time, and enjoy.<...
The limited release that crosses loves for many bourbon and beer lovers has once again found its way to our glasses. That storied, bourbon barrel finished imperial stout, hailing from the great northern state of...Illinois...comes to us at a hearty 14.8% ABV this time around. Yet, there's something quite different about the presentation and packaging this time around for the Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stou...
In yet another shakeup on the podcast, I'm taking a break from bourbon for a week and diving deep into Kentucky's own Cornbread THC Seltzers! Derived from hemp and raised in the Bluegrass, these Commonwealth drinks are an alcohol alternative that are sweeping the nation for those who are looking to change up their evening pours. I'll be tasting the Peach Iced Tea AND the Salted Watermelon flavors, putti...
There's a lot of chatter right now around the current status of Maker's Mark's Cask Strength Bourbon product and what's next for it. As the most recent release features an age statement and a curious "Limited Bottling" tag on the label, as well as a significant decrease in the amount of non-age stated product available, there isn't a lot of clarity as to what's happening behind ...
Well well well, fancy seeing you back here for another review episode of TIMBP! But, wait...this isn't even bourbon! Well, that's because I haven't had the pleasure of reviewing the brand new, very first rye whiskey from my friend Dixon Dedman over at 2XO. That's right, folks, this week I'm taking a look at the 2XO White Oak Rye, a double oaked rye whiskey that uses Dixon's proprietary fi...
We're taking a break from the normal bourbon content this week, and instead I'm turning my attention to the sweet delights of rum! I'm welcoming. some Latino friends onto the pod, as well, to help me through the process of tasting it and get into some of the nuance of the spirit. Plus, I get them to taste a smidgen of bourbon, just to get things warmed up. Enjoy.

Cory Marks has been carving his own path through the music industry as he drinks Jack Daniel's on Whiskey River and apologizes for absolutely nothing (seriously: he's made two whole albums about it). But, I got the chance to sit down with him and see what's behind the guitar and the lyrics while keeping the industry at the forefront, and people might not be ready for what he has to say. Plus, New Belgiu...
BACK for another review, and this time I'm checking out something from our friends over at Found North. It's a brand new 15 Year Old Canadian Whiskey with some truly special offerings inside that you're not gonna want to miss out on and I think you're gonna want to hear what I have to say. Plus, I crack into the newest Widow Jane Bourbon and see what's going on with the Mythological Oak finish...

With the newest releases under the First West banner coming to a liquor store near you and the continued success of 15 Stars, just what have Rick & Ricky been up to? And what's next for them? Plus, I've got one of the wickede...
It's hard to put into words what this weekly podcast about bourbon has meant to me over the past 8 years and 400 episodes. I've laughed a lot (too much, for some people), cried (too much, by own measure), and brought the bourbon industry to light in the best way I have always sought fit. This week, as I continue to make the same mark, I review this year's edition of the Four Roses Small Batch Limited Ed...
THERE'S EVEN MORE, Y'ALL!!! It was a blistering weekend and one easily for the books, and you're getting the last round of interviews I recorded for the 2025 edition of Bourbon & Beyond!

It's the perfect blend that make...
