Sometimes you just have to stretch those legs, get out of town… change up the scenery.   Jump in to hear Alton talk about his adventure out west and new love for automotive cow tipping.  Then Kurt shares the deets on his amazing trip across the pond – including a very professorial commentary on Ballooning – yes, plenty of hot air.  And lastly, we take a moment to introduce a new bottle and pay tri...

Who doesn’t love a revival story? It’s been a while since we’ve shared a bourbon pour and it was great to be back together in a new studio no less. Shoutout to Blake and his buddies planning their Bourbon Trail visit – we want to hear about your adventure!   Back to the podcast, reviving the Bourbon Boys podcast doesn’t hold a candle to the Jimmy Red Corn story.  News flash - since we were last to...

We’re back. Again. Was it March or April since we last published? Upon reminiscing about Kurt’s epic April Fools joke - of which Kratt fell for hook, line and sinker, we landed on late March. Bear with us since it’s been a while, but we’re trying to get ourselves back on track. Three bourbons hit the list - The Wiseman, Blue Note Crossroads and cask strength Heavens Door.  It’s all about the journ...

Yes, Kurt, we know you left the chat…  Short on research but long on flavor, this episode brings 3 delicious bourbon pours and some random conversation. We get our first passport stamp, blow past 8000 downloads, Sara gets an apology, and more, all while we sample some great spirits - Davidson Reserve, Casey Jones, and Bourbon Rabbi.  Yes, the Bourbon Rabbi! Listen in… you’ll surely come away with...

It has been way too long but the boys are back in town.  Dave bails but for good reason. Something to do with stones but not the Rolling Stones unfortunately, but he’s still alive and we’re all glad for it. Altoon and DEW are fooled by a little surprise as we go down the road of discovery from the last three months.  Much to DEW’s disappointment, another Rye enters the picture.  When all is said a...

STITZEL-WELLER “What do you mean you’ll run out of Blade & Bow?” Urban Bourbon trail stop 4 was @stitzelwellerdistrillery. History abounds at the site Pappy himself once roamed. While there are no active production lines on site, the Rickhouses and aged buildings provide a classic atmosphere (ask about the black fungus...it’s safe, they say). The tastings were wide-ranging and included @bulleit, @...

PEERLESS Bourbon before lunch, a cat named Rye, a new pal named Jerry, and a kickass experience... Urban Bourbon trail stop 3 was @kentuckypeerless. My oh my, what an experience at this award winning distillery.  We talk sweet mash, dig into their non-mass distribution approach, and taste some mighty fine spirits.  Oh, and Corky, the man behind the machine, pops in and sets the tone for the entire...

OLD FORESTER Something special is brewing @oldforester... and it’s bigger than the Modjeskas. Barb was a great guide covering everything from whisky vs whiskey, to mash bills to barrel toasting to the missing “r”. We learned about the history and distilling process at one of the oldest and continuously producing distilleries, before-during-after prohibition. We talk through the climate controlled...

Our first stop on the UrbanBourbon tour was at Rabbithole Distillery in the NuLu neighborhood of Louisville, KY. Mason our tour guide took us on a tour of their ultra slick, modern facility. It started with an old fashioned and ended in a tasting room overlooking the city sampling some very fine small batch and single barrel bourbon. Highly recommend it if you are in the area. #rabbithole #rabbith...

With the excitement of recording in Kratt’s barn shot because he can’t seem to finish a project, we find ourselves again at Sandowne Estates.   In this episode we explore four craft distiller bourbons that DEW picked up on a recent road trip to New England. (Who doesn’t love a good road trip?) Making bourbon started as a local effort and while we enjoy the consistent flavors and availability large...

Episode 026 The Old Fashioned is a deep part of America’s cocktail history. With a simple base ingredient list, it begs for  experimentation. In this episode we explore the history of the Old Fashioned (Kurt insisted) and each of us put our spin on the bourbon classic. Not surprising to those who have played with the recipes, we find four distinct tastes with each playing into personal taste prefe...

Episode 025.  No…wait, is it actually 26? I'm confused. Listen in as Kurtron commits to channel his inner Wisconsin brethren…@SeanHayes host of @SmartLess.  DEW quotes Spinal Tap, Alton offers to give Kurtron a hug, and Kratt talks about hammers. In this 2nd Family Tree session we’ll work through 3 of Wild Turkey’s finest: Wild Turkey 101, Russell’s Reserve 10 yr., and Rare Breed. Hope y'all get a...

Who doesn’t love a blind bourbon tasting? We know the Bourbon Boys do! In this episode there are 4 new flavors ... the only guard rail was “bring something we haven’t tasted together.” Part of the fun was seeing the camouflaging techniques- plastic bags, a fancy burlap bag, a neoprene sleeve, and a good ole’ brown bag. Guess who brought out the fancy burplap...?  Best news is that none were dogs,...

Bourbon Boys or Rye Rascals? There is no question where DEW stands on the debate. Come along the tasting journey for three spirits - two grand bourbons and a rye whiskey that somehow snuck in the mix. Exploring Whiskey Advocates 2020 Top 20, the guys find a Knob Creek 12 gem (that we hope to see again soon) and revisit the delicious and hard-hitting Wild Turkey Rare Breed. In between, we meet Old...
