This is My Bourbon Podcast

Send us Fan Mail We're back in full swing for 2025, folks, albeit in our own respective homes, as we were expecting some heavy snow that never truly materialized at time of recording. HOWEVER, that didn't stop us from bringing you an exceptional review of the newest batch of Rare Character Limited Release Bourbon (that's number 3 for those counting) and a brief discussion on the new...

Send us Fan Mail Back in May of 2024, we had the incredible pleasure of welcoming our friend Kenny Coleman of Bourbon Pursuit fame to Lexington, Kentucky to celebrate all things This is my Bourbon Podcast with us and to chat with some of our friends in the industry. From Bardstown Bourbon Company to RD1 Spirits to Dark Arts (and even Pursuit United), we've got some great conversation and chat...

Send us Fan Mail It's that time of year again, folks! We've tasted and poured and revisited everything we can one by one and whittled things down to our top 10 favorite whiskeys we tried this year, specifically bourbons and ryes. But, are you ready for what made our number one spot(s)? Only time will tell! Thanks for all the support this year, TIMBP Fam, and we hope you enjoy everything...

Send us Fan Mail What can I say, other than it's Christmas, and everyone's drinking bourbon! Hope y'all are having the best holiday season.

Send us Fan Mail We're winding down on 2024, folks, and this may be our last review before we get to that coveted "Best Of" episode we all look forward to! In the mean time, our friends at the University of Kentucky asked us to check out their NIL Club Blue bourbons to let you know how good they are and give our tasting notes so that you knew what you should expect when you pick up...

Send us Fan Mail It's the holiday season, folks, and we're excited to be reviewing the newest bourbon from the James B Beam family, Winter Reserve, which is...something, isn't it? Plus, we take the time to check out the annual edition of one of Perry's favorite beers, the Bourbon County Stout from our friends at Goose Island, and it's time to really get down to brass tacks...

Send us Fan Mail We're taking a break from a major review this week to take a look at one of our favorite rye whiskeys and ask the age old question, "what's the best way to drink it?" Perry and Eric put Old Forester Rye through the paces of neat, a splash of water, on the rock(s), and in cola to determine just how you should be drinking your daily, affordable drinker. Plus, the...

Send us Fan Mail It's no secret that we, and the bourbon community at large, are massive fans of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. It's not often that we're able to taste expressions from the fabled series, but this year, Perry and Eric were lucky enough to taste not one, but TWO bourbons included in the lineup. Perhaps the two most coveted in BTAC, William Larue Weller and Geor...

Send us Fan Mail This is my Bourbon Podcast is very proud to be bringing you two more exciting reviews this week, from neighboring states with two different philosophies on what is or isn't bourbon. But, are they any good? Perry and Eric find out! Plus, they have Flying Blind, an interesting Tips 'n' Bits, and one great episode that's simply some of the best TIMBP has to offer....

Send us Fan Mail We're rounding out the backlog of bottles we were sent while Perry was on paternity leave by reviewing a couple of releases from the folks at ASW Distillery in Atlanta, Georgia, as well as tasting two single malt whiskies from Royal Tiger in India! Eric has some fun pairing a snack that Perry brings along, there's Barrel Rings to be listened to, and a special appearance...

Send us Fan Mail It's always exciting to review something just a little left of center on This is my Bourbon Podcast, even if it is directly related to a bourbon brand we know and love! New Belgium's collaboration with Four Roses resulted in Oakspire Bourbon Barrel Ale, a limited release beer that is widely available and highly anticipated by both bourbon and beer drinkers alike. But, ho...

Send us Fan Mail Now THIS is a way to come back from a paternity leave, isn't it? Three reviews? CHECK. Sips 'n' Snacks? CHECK. Trying a unique single barrel pick that has ONLY EVER BEEN DONE ONCE??? THAT'S A CHECK! And what, pray tell, could possibly come out on top between the new Maker's Mark Cellar Aged, Booker's "The Reserves," and Russell's Reserv...

Send us Fan Mail The Wild Turkey brand has become as synonymous with bourbon as its master distiller, Jimmy Russell, has during his 70 year tenure at the Campari-owned company. In honor of a feat unlike any other in the industry, Turkey brought to market a bourbon that both honors and represents the legacy of Jimmy's storied journey at his home distillery in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. This 8 yea...

Send us Fan Mail It never ceases to amaze me how similar collectors are across all mediums and spaces and scenes. From cars to baseball cards to comic books, everybody's hobby is driven by one thing: exclusivity. But the line between bourbon and shoe collectors is often so blurred that the Venn diagram at times looks more like a circle. And, when someone like Eric "The Whiskey Mutant&quo...

Send us Fan Mail Perry is currently on paternity leave with his and Lucy's newest family addition, so in his stead, Eric is welcoming long-time friend and past cohost of the show Swan in! Together, they're going through the typical This is my Bourbon Podcast format, same as it ever was, while introducing an episode all about pairing snacks on an international scale with bourbons that you...

Send us Fan Mail It's an absolute honor and privilege to be welcoming our friend Chad Watson AKA MyDailyBourbon back to the podcast as he brings his first Limited Release small batch product from Rare Character with him to showcase for Perry and Eric. Along the way on this milestone episode, the gang imagine what it would be like if they had approached the first flight ever done on This is my...

Send us Fan Mail If you're a long time listener of This is my Bourbon Podcast, you know it's no secret that we're big fans of the fine folks at Bardstown Bourbon Company. From the Discovery Series to Fusion all the way to their groundbreaking, flagship Origin products, there's something we've found to love and adore it nearly every bottle released by the Napa of the East....

Send us Fan Mail Okay, I know it's a bourbon podcast, and we get a little toasty sometimes, but it's not THAT kinda blackout. Seriously, what did you think I meant? Before we get there, though, we've got SO much to get to on this week's episode of This is my Bourbon Podcast, including an appropriately themed Flying Blind, Perry absolutely losing his mind as he can't rememb...

Send us Fan Mail Hailing from the great, rainy state of Washington comes a bourbon from the fine folks of Woodinville Whiskey Co. aged 8 years and clocking in at 100 proof. It's comprised of a high rye mash bill and was aged in a low char, heavy toast barrel that sets it apart from the typical makeup of Woodinville's numerous bourbons on the market. But, can it live up to the reputation...

Send us Fan Mail New Riff has not been one to disappoint in the release department as of late, and we're so excited to dive into two of their newest products on this week's episode of This is my Bourbon Podcast! We're taking some time and looking at Ol' New Riff Bourbon, made exclusively with heritage grains, as well as their brand new 8 Year Rye Whiskey, a partner to their rec...

Send us Fan Mail It's been a long time since we've enjoyed the fruits of labor that come from a blind flight, and with so many great double oaked bourbons on the market these days, we figured it was time to put some of them to the test! Featuring Woodford Double Oaked, Jim Beam Double Oak, Pursuit United Double Oaked Bourbon, and 2XO Oak Series "American Oak," this flight reach...

Send us Fan Mail We're so thrilled to be welcoming Rick and Ricky Johnson, the founders of 15 Stars Whiskey, to This is my Bourbon Podcast this week for a comprehensive look at the history of the company. From humble beginnings as popcorn makers to "Best in Show" accolades, it's been a whirlwind of a few years for the father/son duo. But, how do they stay grounded and where do...

Send us Fan Mail In the pantheon of big bourbon reviews, it's hard to understate the importance of being handed something as weighty as the annual Four Roses Small Batch Limited Edition release. In 2024, it sees 3 recipes, between and 12 and 20 year old bourbons, and 108 points of proof making up its DNA. So, when we put it to the test, does it hold a candle to the This is my Bourbon Podcast...

Send us Fan Mail It's a B-B-B-BONUS EPISODE, Y'ALL, just in time for BIG ASS AUGUST! We got sent a sweet bottle of Blue Run from the second edition of the Flight Series, and we decided the give it the ol' TIMBP treatment. Is it any good though? No spoilers! Enjoy.
