Scott and Nick spend some time with Bobby DeMars with Blind Barrels. We went through the blind game and spoke about his background and why and how he started Blind Barrels. This premium blind whiskey experience has multiple ways to enjoy it. To give it a try go to https://blindbarrels.com/

 

The crew has a conversation about High West's Midwinter’s Night Dram Act 13 Scene 11. I should have had the Legend over for another review. The mashbill is different then most of the others of recent past. 

Scott and the Brock's review the newer Elijah Craig Toasted Rye. I am a big fan of a lot of toasted products. I was impressed that the price point lined up with other mainstream toasted and double oak products. 

Scott and the Brock's discussed a bottle they recently picked up near Paducah at Patti's General Store this Single Barrel was found on their recent camping trip. 70/21/9 mashbill could be from multiple sources, but Green River may be the source of distillation. 

Scott and Nick Interview the ladies of Lodestar Whiskey. Recently featured in Forbes as two of 10 Women Changing The Whiskey Industry, co-founders & cousins Anna Axster & Wendelin von Schroder developed a love for whiskey during their travels while working in the music industry, but felt that existing brands didn’t speak to them as female consumers. Their unique whiskey blend is made up of a high rye bourbon and single malt whiskey.

The crew sits down and reviews the new 2025 Michter's Toasted Sour Mash. After trying and forgetting they were all low proof, we revisited a couple other years. Then decided something interesting about 2025. Scott also accidentally opens a 2019!
