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...

Offering bourbons and a rye from locally sourced grain to offer a truly unique run of products, Heaven Hill brings something new to the table that not many heritage distillers can say they have been able to bottle in the modern era of whiskey. 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...
Friend of the show and master blender/proprietor of The Bond and Thornbush, Logan Bechanan, has returned to the show for a fun afternoon of pours from their upcoming lineup of single barrels and products that will go into production for bourbons and ryes! Logan and I discuss some industry insights, as well as have some pours of products that we can't even name, or else we might get in a little trouble. But, it&ap...
I'm incredibly excited and thrilled to be welcoming the host of Appodlachia, Chuck Corra, onto This is my Bourbon Podcast. As an advocate for the betterment of people and their culture in Appalachia (as well as a resident of the area himself), Chuck is no stranger to the challenges faced by the folks who are part of one of the most underserved regions of the country. But, how can bourbon help bring more visibilit...

Brand new proof, same old Sazerac rye? Well, Buffalo Trace wants to proof (see what I did there?) that they've got a few tricks left up their sleeves, even if it is a familiar rye whiskey with a little less water on board! Time to find out if they're making it work or not! Enjoy.

What happens when you distill a whiskey in Kentucky and age it there for 3 years before shipping it overseas to Scotland for an extra 12? The folks at The Perfect Fifth answer that question with their newest entry into the Canongate line of whiskeys, this time introducing a 15 year, 127 proof single barrel at $185. It's time to find out if such an experiment can even work! Plus, I take a look at Batch 2506 of the...

After 10 years of distilling their own product and creating a brand that's turned heads and palates towards craft bourbon and rye, New Riff has released a double-digit age stated pair of products for some of their most loyal fans. But, can the First Decade Bourbon and Rye Whiskeys at 120.5 proof and 10 years old live up to the prestige that New Riff has set for themselves so far? And, what did I review recently t...

2025 continues to be the year of age statements seemingly making a return and Jim Beam is making another wave with the introduction of their Old Grand-Dad 7 Year Bottled in Bond Bourbon. Utilizing their high rye mashbill and the traditional bottled in bond confines of at least 4 years old and no more of less than 100 proof, this bourbon certainly will have something for the discerning palate, right? Only time will tel...

It's been a privilege, an honor, and an immense joy to have Eric as my cohost over the past 4 years and over 190 episodes of the podcast.

We also talk a bit about what's next and ...
