This is My Bourbon Podcast

Send us Fan Mail This is a fun flight, y'all! I get a great blind from Chad and we just have a wonderful time hanging out. He tests me, I get some things weirdly right, and some things weirdly wrong. Can you guess what's what? Or do you think I'm completely cooked? Either way, you're gonna enjoy this one a lot! Become a patron of the show at http://www.patreon.com/mybourbonpodc...

Send us Fan Mail I'm riding solo this week, folks, and with about half a voice to boot! Hot off a great weekend at Bourbon & Beyond and about as sleep deprived as I've ever been, this week's episode of the podcast is brought to you by a hope and a prayer! I've got the newest release from our friends at Redwood Empire in my glass, their brand new Hyperion Whiskey, which is a...

Send us Fan Mail It's crazy that we've come this far in just under 9 years, folks, but here we are at the doorstep of episode 450. Hundreds of reviews, dozens of interviews, so many friends made along the way, and an unbelievable time we've had since we first hit that record button. Now, we've got a great episode for you to enjoy, where Chad Watson and I put Green River Full Pr...

Send us Fan Mail I'm so happy to be welcoming Kyle back to the show this week, and he's with me for a HUGE review of one of Heaven Hill's most sought-after and well-beloved annual limited releases. The Parker's Heritage Collection brings some of the more experimental and unique side of Heaven Hill's catalogue to the table, and with a bourbon made with rye backset, this yea...

Send us Fan Mail What an amazing weekend I was able to have with new friends and some familiar faces at the very first fall edition of Lexington Comic & Toy Convention. From Lori Beth Denberg to Ari Millen to my new buddy Chris who makes his own chocolate and bourbon bitters, we've got a great episode for everyone here. Plus, you get a blast of nostalgia from a familiar kids' Latina...

Send us Fan Mail This episode has been a couple weeks in the making, but it's one that we're very excited to bring you, dear listeners. The question often arises to whether bourbon and wine cane pair together, and this week, I'm fortunate enough to be joined by MyDailyBourbon AKA Chad Watson to learn about those nuances and find out how we can actually make the perfect pairings happ...

Send us Fan Mail Papa Ritter and I have been working on this episode for a long friggin' time, y'all. It's finally time. We're rounding out the end of Big Ass August by asking the big, unending question: which Weller Bourbon is the best one? And, I tell ya: we answer that question. Special Reserve? 12 Year? Single Barrel??? There are so many options. But, I tell ya one thing: i...

Send us Fan Mail We've got a new release for y'all this week, folks, and it's a blend of rye and wheat bourbons from Green River under the Koopers Whiskey brand! For $64, how does it hold up in today's market? And are there too many 4-grain bourbons out there right now? We gotta figure it out the only way we know how: drinking the dang thing! Enjoy, y'all. Become a patron...

Send us Fan Mail It's back, folks, just in time for BIG ASS AUGUST, and it just feels so good! In yet another installment of one of our favorite series, Best Way to Drink, we're checking out a rye from Rare Character and giving it the full rundown! Will the answer surprise you? Maybe not! Enjoy. Become a patron of the show at http://www.patreon.com/mybourbonpodcast Leave us a 5 star rati...

Send us Fan Mail It is a MASSIVE episode this week, featuring not just a review but, also, a Taste Off featuring TWO huge products from Heaven Hill! Their 22 Year Bourbon release is one we've been looking forward to trying out for a long time, and it's really cool to be able to put it up next to an Elijah Craig 21 Year Old Single Barrel. Are there gonna be some oaky and tannic notes in t...

Send us Fan Mail It's a Kyle and Chad takeover episode, folks! As we prepare ourselves for the season of allocations and hunting, there's always time for one last review to be squeezed in that will certainly be a game changer for many. Coming from Buffalo Trace and their bottom shelf, wallet-friendly line, Benchmark Rye clocks in 100 proof and around 4 years old for just $15. However, wh...

Send us Fan Mail We're taking it easy this week with a completely non-serious episode that's also a whole lot of fun has Papa Ritter on it! Haven't you ever wanted to know what bourbon you should drink when you're drinking cheap, okay beer? Well, here's your answer! We get into it. And then some. Anyway, I'm being watched and we better get around to not talking too mu...

Send us Fan Mail We've got something new that was quietly released onto the market this week, and I think you're gonna want to tune in for this one. Four Roses sneak-dropped the 100 proof edition of their Brown Label (or Yellow Label, depends on who you're talking to) and we've not heard a lot of chatter about it online. So, we figured we may as well get the conversation moving...

Send us Fan Mail Sometimes, there are flights that make you feel good. And, then, sometimes...there are flights that make you question everything and THEN some. This, dear supporters, is one of those flights. It's something you have to hear (or see) to believe. Plus, we finally get to deliver on a promise WEEKS in the making, and it's one of YOU that made it happen! We've also got s...

Send us Fan Mail I spent some time this past weekend jaunting around an old city I used to live in and checking out stores that I once knew and loved. They brought me both joy and disbelief upon entering and it got me to thinking that bourbon hunting isn't what it used to be. So, what happened to it? What killed it? Is it actually dead? I'm also welcoming Chad AKA MyDailyBourbon on this...

Send us Fan Mail I finally get to do something I've been waiting a while to do with our buddy Kyle and blind him on not just some 99% corn bourbon, but also throw it into a whole flight and see where it lands! How does it actually compare to some other things I've thrown at him, though? And can I make it through this episode without crying over video games?? Well...we'll have to see...

Send us Fan Mail New Riff is known for their extensive bourbon and rye explorations and they've brought yet another release of their 10 year whiskeys to the table for 2026's High Note series. Both coming in at barrel proof and a decade old, each product is certain to tantalize fans both new and old of the distillery. But, we have to put them under the microscope and check out just what t...

Send us Fan Mail Do we have a brand new whiskey on our hands? We sure do! Was it created in conjunction with a brewery not too far away from the distillery that made it? Sure was! But, here's the thing: we're doing more than just reviewing it this week. We're doing a heckuva review AND pairing it with beer! Who would've thought to do something like THAT? Couldn't tell ya!...

Send us Fan Mail We're back at it again, folks, and this time around, we're checking out a distillery that hasn't gotten enough love or time on this podcast. Peerless has made a name for itself in the bourbon world as a fighter and one of the biggest new kids on the block, but how does their new age-stated product highlight what they're doing behind the scenes? Plus, we've...

Send us Fan Mail We're in an amazing time for rye, my friends, and this release is something that if you missed out on...well, I'm very sorry about that, because you might just need to get a bottle or two. Am I spoiling anything? Not entirely, because this is something you need to hear (or see) to believe. Jack Daniel's...you're just on top of your game right now. Plus, a much...

Send us Fan Mail Can we drink bourbon on this podcast? Yes. Can we talk politics? ALSO yes. Can we somehow cohesively bind them together and make it into something that's both fun and educational yet important for current candidates in a heated race in Kentucky's Congressional race? Well...absolutely! This week, Erin Petrey joins me to discuss the world that she's trying to change a...

Send us Fan Mail Well, folks, somehow, in all of the years of this podcast, we've never reviewed this bourbon. Over 8 years and a long, unending search for a sister product that was apparently sold out in every single stupid store in Lexington, Kentucky, we finally are reviewing the Knob Creek 8 Year Old Bourbon. It's the age-stated bottle that started the wave of excitement for this Jim...

Send us Fan Mail Some things seem to be taking shape over in Bardstown, Kentucky, as Heaven Hill is apparently doing something different for their 2026 lineup of barrel proof releases. We'll get into it in the episode, but we're taking a look at the first release of Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Rye from 2026 and seeing how it stacks up to the very first ECBP Rye that just so happened to com...

Send us Fan Mail Another taste off? Another big episode? There's so much to get around on this episode! You won't believe it until you see it with your ears! That's a thing, right? Anyway, it's a fun one and I know you're gonna think so, too. Enjoy. Become a patron of the show at http://www.patreon.com/mybourbonpodcast Leave us a 5 star rating and review on your podcast ap...
