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!

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...

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...

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...

After two years of releases, though, how have they been able to refine them and what has changed since 2024's series? Plus, what else have I been up to since you last saw m...

I'm incredibly excited and thrilled to be welcoming the host of Appodlachia, Chuck Corra, onto This is my Bourbon Podcast.

But, how can bourbon help bring more visibilit...
