In this episode, we tackle two of the most sought after releases of 2026. Bulleit 20-Year-Old Straight Rye Whiskey is one of the oldest whiskeys ever bottled by the brand. Coming in at 137 proof, this MGP sourced rye is like nothing we've ever seen or tasted. Buffalo Trace recently released the Elmer T.

| E402 - Heaven Hill Bottled-In-Bond Double Mash | 13 oct. 2026 | 00:20:34 | |
What do you get when you blend two mashbills at a large heritage distillery. Why...it's twice the mash...some might call it double mash. For this week's short, we taste and review Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond Double Mash. This is 9-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey released in a few months ago. Coming in at 100 proof, this expression is comprised of two mashbills blended together. The result is a four grain bourbon that contains corn, malted barley, and equal parts wheat and rye. So is this experiment one worth trying? Give us a listen to find out. -------------------------- Socials IG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupky FB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupky YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupky Join our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcast Partnership(s) Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUP Music: All the Fixings by Zachariah Hickman Thank you so much for listening! | |||

The 2026 Old Forester Birthday Bourbon is the 26th annual limited-edition release celebrating the September 2 birthday of distillery founder George Garvin Brown. This limited edition bourbon comes from one of the heavyweight heritage distillers and always demands the attention of whiskey novices and nerds alike. Who wouldn't want a bottle of Birthday Bourbon?

| E400 - Maker's Mark Export from 1981 | 06 oct. 2026 | 00:18:25 | |
This week's short involves a bottle of Maker's Mark that was bottled in 1981. This is the same year that Steven and Anthony were born. While we couldn't organize an all-star lineup for our monumental 400th episode, we did think it would be appropriate to crack a bottle that is a little harder to find. If you were to visit a store in 1981 buy this bottle of bourbon, it would have cost you $10. Even though that doesn't seem like a lot -- it was quite expensive then and people noticed. So, how does this bottle taste roughly 45 years after it was bottled? You'll have to give us a listen to find out. We want to thank you all for your continued support of the podcast. Cheers! -------------------------- Socials IG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupky FB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupky YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupky Join our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcast Partnership(s) Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUP Music: All the Fixings by Zachariah Hickman Thank you so much for listening! | |||
| E399 - Bottles from the Kentucky Bourbon Festival | 02 oct. 2026 | 01:07:07 | |
Even though it's been a few weeks since the Kentucky Bourbon Festival (KBF) ended, we still have quite a few bottles to talk about. In this episode, we taste and review numerous bottles that were sold at KBF. Brands include Dark Arts, Old Louisville, Samuel Call, Jackson's Purchase, and more! The fellas engage in a wide ranging conversation that will spark nostalgia for some of you. But most of all, you'll get to hear our take on MANY new and exciting bottles from some brands you are familiar with (and some you've probably never heard of). -------------------------- Socials IG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupky FB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupky YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupky Join our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcast Partnership(s) Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUP Music: All the Fixings by Zachariah Hickman Thank you so much for listening! | |||
| E398 - EverNorth BDH Bourbon (Distillery Only) | 29 sept. 2026 | 00:28:11 | |
The whole crew is back together and today we are talking about EverNorth. For those that couldn't make it to the Kentucky Bourbon Festival (KBF), Dan and Sean and the rest of the crew at EverNorth Spirits released a near hazmat bourbon known as "BDH." This bottle is a limited, single-barrel short-barrel bourbon release distilled at Green River with a 78/13/9 corn/rye/malted barley mash bill, bottled at cask strength 68% ABV. They chose to release this bottle due to it's exceptional profile and bold flavors. What do we think?

| E397 - W. H. McBrayer 250th Small Batch and Cedar Brook Single Barrel Bourbon | 25 sept. 2026 | 00:46:53 | |
W. H. McBrayer "The Judge" is a revival Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey produced by McBrayer Legacy Spirits, honoring 19th-century distiller William Harrison "The Judge" McBrayer. In this episode, we taste and review the 250th blend and a wheated Cedar Brook single barrel. This brand has been around long before prohibition and the family restarted multiple labels using the historical information from their ancestry. So how does this whiskey taste? We will give you our full and honest review while having a lot of fun in the process.

| E396 - Redwood Empire The Hyperion Batch 001 | 22 sept. 2026 | 00:15:21 | |
In this episode, we taste, review, and discuss a brand new limited offering from Redwood Empire. Named after the world's tallest coastal redwood tree (The Hyperion), this inaugural expression is a blend of 32% bourbon, 30% rye, 25% wheat whiskey, and 9% American single malt. Coming it at 110 proof, we're not sure if we've ever tasted a whiskey that contains distillate from four different states: Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, and California. This special limited blend is the first of it's kind of a planned annual (non repeating) release. But, how does it taste? Spoiler alert, the guys are split on this one, leading to some lively discussion for a short. -------------------------- Socials IG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupky FB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupky YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupky Join our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcast Partnership(s) Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUP Music: All the Fixings by Zachariah Hickman Thank you so much for listening! | |||
| E395 - Barrell Bourbon Cigar Blend | 18 sept. 2026 | 00:54:35 | |
Barrell Bourbon Cigar Blend is a limited-release, cask-strength straight bourbon whiskey that contains distillate from Kentucky, Tennessee, and Indiana that is finished in four different casks. Released in March 2026, this highly acclaimed expression is explicitly layered and built to stand up alongside a premium cigar, though it is engineered to be equally compelling on its own. The retail price is $84.99. In this episode, we taste and review this blended bourbon and compare it to another "cigar" blend whiskey. The guys also talk about recent bourbon experiences, tonsillectomies, and a host of other topics. Should you be chasing this new offering from Barrell? We'll give you our honest take. -------------------------- Socials IG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupky FB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupky YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupky Join our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcast Partnership(s) Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUP Music: All the Fixings by Zachariah Hickman Thank you so much for listening! | |||
| E394 - Knob Creek 12 Year Cask Strength (2026) | 15 sept. 2026 | 00:16:43 | |
The very first time we saw Knob Creek 12 Year Cask Strength bourbon appear was back in 2020. Hitting retail shelves for about $90 a bottle, the whiskey disappeared pretty quickly and secondary prices went up. Now, in 2026, the good folks at Jim Beam are back at it. In this episode, we taste and review the brand new batch of Knob Creek 12 at cask strength. As you know, we can be pretty tough on some beam products. However, our verdict on this one may surprise you. Do you like Knob Creek and other Beam products? Let us know if you do and thanks for listening. -------------------------- Socials IG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupky FB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupky YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupky Join our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcast Partnership(s) Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUP Music: All the Fixings by Zachariah Hickman Thank you so much for listening! | |||

Heaven Hill needs no introduction. They have produced some of the most iconic whiskeys of all time. Thanks to our buddy Hector, we got our hands on some recent releases from HH: Bernheim 20th Anniversary & Rittenhouse 10 year rye (250th Anniversary of America. Our expectations were low, but we were super surprised. In a good way or bad? You'll have to listen to find out.

| E392 - Bardstown Bourbon Company: 2026 Discovery & Lochs of Jura | 08 sept. 2026 | 00:29:41 | |
Bardstown Bourbon Company has become known as one of the premier places for distilling, blending, and storage in support of their own brand and MANY others. Since 2019, Bardstown Bourbon has released a limited "discovery" series bottle. This years release known as "2026 Discovery" is a blend of three different well aged bourbons finished in Garrayana barrels. Around the same time as the discovery drop, Bardstown also reeleased the "Lochs of Jura" which is a blend of bourbon and rye finished in scotch barrels. Bardstown Bourbon Company is known for blending and pushing the boundaries when it comes to finishing techniques. So how do these two new releases stack up? We'll give you our honest take and also blind these against some surprise things. -------------------------- Socials IG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupky FB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupky YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupky Join our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcast Partnership(s) Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUP Music: All the Fixings by Zachariah Hickman Thank you so much for listening! | |||
| E391 - Dark Arts KBF Bottles | 04 sept. 2026 | 01:02:29 | |
The Kentucky Bourbon Festival kicks off next Friday and we have an early review of some bottles that can be purchased there. You've heard us talk about Dark Arts MANY times on the podcast. Even though enthusiasts are familiar with all the great alchemy that is taking place right here in Lexington, KY - we feel the best is yet to come for this still relatively new whiskey house. In this episode, we taste and review two of their upcoming releases: a hazmat Kentucky bourbon and a 19 year old Kentucky bourbon that was finished for an astonishing 7 years in Japanese Mizunara. Along the way, we talk about the coming fall season, sports, and a bunch of other fun stuff. Are you going to KBF? If so, you'll want to give Dark Arts a visit! -------------------------- Socials IG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupky FB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupky YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupky Join our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcast Partnership(s) Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUP Music: All the Fixings by Zachariah Hickman Thank you so much for listening! | |||
| E390 - Michter's 10 Year Straight Rye Whiskey (2026) | 01 sept. 2026 | 00:21:58 | |
If you've listened to the podcast before, you know that we are generally fans of Michter's products. For this short, we taste and review this years version of Michter's 10 Year Straight Rye Whiskey. This is one of the more premium (but attainable) offerings from Michter's and it doesn't release annually. The release is made up of many ultra-aged single barrels and this whiskey is very sought after by newbies and seasoned enthusiasts. So join us this week as we give you our take on this rye. We are also joined by our friend Todd Ritter (The Bourbon Road) and he participates in pass, try, or buy. -------------------------- Socials IG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupky FB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupky YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupky Join our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcast Partnership(s) Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUP Music: All the Fixings by Zachariah Hickman Thank you so much for listening! | |||
| E389 - Jack Daniel’s High Angel’s Share Tennessee Whiskey | 28 août 2026 | 00:46:26 | |
In this episode, we taste and review the brand new Jack Daniel’s High Angel's Share Tennessee Whiskey. The new limited release is comprised of traditional Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey laid down in 2016. The whiskey rested atop Coy Hill on the top floor of Barrelhouse 1-13 for a high angel’s share maturation. As the barrels rested in the highest reaches of the barrelhouse, an increased amount of whiskey was lost, presenting a very unique whiskey. But how does it taste? We'll give you our perspective and we hope you have a chance to try it.

| E388 - Booker's The Reserves 2026 Rye Whiskey | 25 août 2026 | 00:24:37 | |
In this episode, we taste and review the brand new Booker’s The Reserves 2026. This is a limited-edition Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey finished in apple brandy barrels and infused with cinnamon. This is a family recipe of sorts and it's meant to honor the tradition that Booker used to follow during the holidays when he used Booker's barrels to age homemade apple wine. This rye is aged for a little over 6 years and comes in at 125.1 proof and is uncut, unfiltered, and non-chill filtered. Give us a listen to find out how it tastes. -------------------------- Socials IG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupky FB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupky YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupky Join our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcast Partnership(s) Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUP Music: All the Fixings by Zachariah Hickman Thank you so much for listening! | |||
| E387 - Blade and Bow 12 Year Solera Reserve & Bulleit 87' | 21 août 2026 | 01:03:16 | |
For this Friday's long and strong episode, we dive into a few new things from the Diageo portfolio. The first is Bulleit '87. This new offering is a blend of Kentucky bourbon and Indiana rye finished with toasted American and French oak staves. It is meant to honor the brands founding year (1987), is 90 proof, and carries a low MSRP of $30. The other bottle we taste in this episode is the Blade and Bow 12-Year-Old Solera Reserve. This is a limited offering which features a blend of old stocks finished in a variety of different wine casks. Coming in at 104 proof, this whiskey has an MSRP of $64.99. One of these whiskeys was OK and the other left us scratching our heads. Can you guess which one we weren't super fond of before you listen? Spoiler alert - this was just one of many episodes we recorded in one night so shenanigans ensued.

| E386 - Potter Jane's Big Vat Liar Bourbon | 18 août 2026 | 00:18:25 | |
In this short, we taste and review the first release from Potter Jane Distilling Company. Big Vat Liar is a limited-edition sourced Kentucky straight bourbon priced at $49.99. Founders Denny Potter and Jane Bowie broke their prior vow not to source whiskey and it resulted in a release of 1,200 bottles as their own distillate continues to age. They are planning to release their own distillate in 2029. You won’t only get to hear our thoughts about this bottle, but you will also hear Kenny discuss a recent event where he got to meet the founders and purchase this bottle. The future definitely looks promising for these industry veterans and their budding brand. -------------------------- Socials IG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupky FB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupky YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupky Join our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcast Partnership(s) Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUP Music: All the Fixings by Zachariah Hickman Thank you so much for listening! | |||
| E385 - Colonel E.H. Taylor Cured Oak and EverNorth Picks! | 14 août 2026 | 00:56:37 | |
Buffalo Trace recently released Colonel E.H. Taylor Cured Oak Bourbon. This whiskey originally debuted in 2015 and that version of it was 17 years old. This new release is only 10 years old, but the process for making it remains the same. Cured Oak is created by using white oak barrel staves cured in open air for 13 months (more than double the standard 6 months). This reduces harsh tannins and pulls out more wood sugars during the aging process. Similar to the Four Grain release, this one has been met with much hype and fanfare, but we are here to tell you how it tastes. However, that might not even be the most exciting thing about this episode. Kenny recently took at trip to EverNorth in Michigan for the Pours and Pars event hosted by the Bourbon Junkies and he ended up selecting two ryes that we will release for the podcast in the future. We taste those in this episode and give you our initial thoughts. Cured Oak and EverNorth stuff...yeah...I know...I'd be jealous too. Cheers. -------------------------- Socials IG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupky FB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupky YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupky Join our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcast Partnership(s) Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUP Music: All the Fixings by Zachariah Hickman Thank you so much for listening! | |||

For this week's short, we taste and review the brand new limited-edition release (only 370 bottles) from Caleb's Crossing Whiskey Company which is the 1776-2026 Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey. Curated by our friend David Jennings, it features a blend of hand-selected barrels combining a traditional 95/5 rye mash bill with an experimental 100% rye. The whiskey is 8 years old and comes in at 110.76 proof. How does this one taste? You'll have to listen to find out. David has already done some amazing stuff with relatively new brand and we can't wait to see what he does in the future. ------------------------- Socials IG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupky FB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupky YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupky Join our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcast Partnership(s) Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUP Music: All the Fixings by Zachariah Hickman Thank you so much for listening! | |||
| E383 - A. Smith Bowman Cask Strength Bourbon (Batch #5) | 07 août 2026 | 00:52:34 | |
The A. Smith Bowman Distillery is Virginia's oldest operating whiskey distillery, founded in 1934 in Fairfax County just after the end of Prohibition. Now located in Fredericksburg, Virginia, it has become famous for it's award winning bourbons and it's association with Sazerac/Buffalo Trace. In the life of the podcast, we've never tasted or reviewed any Bowman product. However, in this episode we dive straight into the annual limited "cask strength" release. While we seldom see this bottle in our area - one of our community members (Kevin) sent us this bottle to review. So join us this week as we taste this highly sought after whiskey and the fellas roast Anthony and his recent trip to French Lick. ------------------------- Socials IG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupky FB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupky YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupky Join our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcast Partnership(s) Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUP Music: All the Fixings by Zachariah Hickman Thank you so much for listening! | |||

If you've listened to the podcast, you've heard us mention how legendary Brad Williams is when it comes to Liquor Barn store picks. In this short, we taste and review a brand new Liquor Barn store pick that comes from NEWS (New Era Whiskey and Social Club). This bourbon is 11 years old, is 135.2 proof, and carries a mashbill of 71% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malted barley. It's rumored to be Beam distillate, but we don't know that for sure. One thing is certain - we'll give you our honest review of this single barrel selection and also comment on what we feel might be on the horizon for the NDP market this year.

| E381 - Four Roses Anthology: Chapter 1 (Origin) | 31 juil. 2026 | 01:01:58 | |
Four Roses Anthology is an ultra-premium annual bourbon collection that recently saw its first release which is called Chapter One: Origin and the liquid in the bottle is 21-years old. Pulled from a variety of single barrels and priced at $500 - this stands as the oldest release in the distillery's history. If you've been paying attention, then you know we already did a fresh crack of this on YouTube. However, we wanted to put this bourbon through it's paces. Therefore, in this episode, we blind it against King of Kentucky, Russell's 15, Austin Nichols Archives Gold Foil, and an old Elijah Craig Batch 10 Barrel Proof (pirate bottle).

| E380 - Corking Off! W/ Kyle & Russell's Reserve 13 (Eddie's 45th Anniversary) | 28 juil. 2026 | 00:59:32 | |
We originally met Kyle on a barrel pick for Bluegrass Liquor Box. A few months ago, Kyle burst onto the bourbon media scene with his eclectic and hilarious social media bourbon review series called "Corking Off! W/ Kyle." In addition to his own show, Kyle has also been cohosting "This is My Bourbon Podcast" with our friend Perry Ritter. In this episode, we talk with Kyle about his bourbon journey and the inspiration behind his comedic bourbon reviews. We also sip on quite a few pours. Just when we thought the episode was coming to a close, Kyle decided to "cork off" the brand new Russell's Reserve 13 year. So, what started as a fun interview ends with one of our standard bottle reviews of a very exciting new bottle. We were lucky to call Kyle a friend before he started making us laugh on social media. Definitely check him out on YouTube and Instagram (@corkingoff). ------------------------- Socials IG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupky FB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupky YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupky Join our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcast Partnership(s) Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUP Music: All the Fixings by Zachariah Hickman Thank you so much for listening! | |||

The new Heaven Hill 22 Year 'Heritage Collection' Bourbon (2026) is a celebration of the legacy of one of Kentucky's most storied and revered distilleries. Coming in at 129.2 proof, this blend contains barrels that were aged across more than two decades. This 2026 release continues the series of high age and proof annual releases from Heaven Hill that began a few years ago. But, how does it taste? More importantly, how does it hold up in a surprise blind? So join us as we laugh and joke through tasting one of this years most sought after limited edition bourbons.

| E378 - Old Forester 117 Series High Angels' Share Rye | 21 juil. 2026 | 00:20:03 | |
Old Forester High Angels' Share Rye released in March 2026 as part of their limited The 117 Series. Out of all the bottles we've reviewed from this series, this is definitely one of the most unique. Rumored to contain 12 year old whiskey, this 110-proof Kentucky straight rye was pulled from rare barrels that suffered exceptionally high evaporation loss, leaving behind a highly concentrated, rich flavor profile. We've gotten all kind of different tasting notes on rye whiskey, but the major note that we all got on this pour was equally surprising and pleasing. Tune into this short to find out what that tasting note is and ultimately what we thought of this rye whiskey. ------------------------- Socials IG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupky FB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupky YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupky Join our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcast Partnership(s) Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUP Music: All the Fixings by Zachariah Hickman Thank you so much for listening! | |||

Back in episode 278, we interviewed Zane Brammell and he foreshadowed the all the wonderful things on the horizon for New Era Whiskey. In this episode, we taste and review a single barrel pick called from NEWS called "Cherry Cola Catastrophe." This short barrel of sourced bourbon was picked by a private club, but we recently obtained it when Jason went to the soft opening of the New Era tasting room and social club right here in Lexington, Kentucky.

| E375 - Wild Turkey Austin Nichols Archives Gold Foil Edition & More! | 10 juil. 2026 | 01:14:37 | |
The Wild Turkey Austin Nichols Archives Collection is a limited-edition annual series led by Associate Master Blender Bruce Russell. The inaugural release is the Gold Foil Edition, a 16-year-old, 120-proof (60% ABV) non-chill filtered bourbon. Retailing at about $400, it pays homage to vintage, highly sought-after 1980s and 90s "Cheesy Gold Foil" releases. This whiskey is exciting enough on it's own, but we must blind. Ever since the Gold Foil Edition came out, we've all been asked how it compares to other recent sought after Wild Turkey releases. So, here it is, the new Gold Foil Edition blinded against Beacon, Russell's 15, and WT Generations. Spoiler alert: the results weren't consistent across the board, but they were pretty compelling. So join for this episode as we taste and talk about some of the best modern Turkey releases compare to one another.

The bourbon itself is non-chill filtered, aged over 7 years, and bottled at a bold 117.76 proof (58.88% ABV) as a nod to 1776. Does this pour live up to the pomp and circumstance of the 250th anniversary of our great nation.

New Riff recently added to it's "high note" collection by releasing a 10 year old, limited edition cask strength bourbon. Coming in at 116.9 proof and carrying one of the oldest age statements since New Riff began, this bourbon is what we've been waiting for. But how does it taste? We will give you the low down.

For the third straight year, we are bringing you a review of the annual Four Roses Father's Day Special Release. This year, Four Roses changed the slogan on the side of the glass to read, "A Pour Worth Sharing. A Memory Worth Making." But, how does it taste? This years limited offering was made up of numerous OBSV single barrels that were aged 14 years in a variety of different rick houses on the property and bottled as varying cask strength proofs. Perhaps the best thing about this episode is that we recorded it on Father's Day and the whole crew was involved. Get ready for shenanigans and some surprise blinds as we give you our honest take on this annual sought after bottle. ------------------------- Socials IG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupky FB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupky YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupky Join our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcast Partnership(s) Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUP Music: All the Fixings by Zachariah Hickman Thank you so much for listening! | |||

The James E. Pepper Decanter Barrel Proof Rye a premium, uncut, and unfiltered limited-release whiskey distilled at the historic James E. Pepper Distillery (DSP-KY-5) in Lexington, Kentucky. This whiskey is aged for 6-8 years and comes in at 115.6 proof. Shortly after it's release, this whiskey has garnered a lot of praise from the whiskey community. Some have even called it an early candidate for whiskey of the year. But what do the fellas think? You'll have to listen to find out. Join us for this short as Kenny and Jason taste and blind this whiskey. Regardless of what they think, there is no denying that the 1940s style decanter that contains the whiskey is absolutely gorgeous. -------------------------- Socials IG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupky FB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupky YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupky Join our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcast Partnership(s) Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUP Music: All the Fixings by Zachariah Hickman Thank you so much for listening! | |||
| E369 - Colonel E.H. Taylor Four Grain Bourbon | 19 juin 2026 | 00:37:24 | |
A.I says...Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Four Grain is an incredibly rare, limited-release bourbon by Buffalo Trace that features an unconventional mashbill of corn, rye, wheat, and malted barley. Bottled-in-bond at 100 proof, the sought-after whiskey balances the sweetness of wheat with the classic spice of rye. Unless you've been living under a rock, you probably saw that Buffalo Trace recently released this bottle after an almost 10 year hiatus. It was met with much fanfare and calamity at the distillery. But, was it worth the hype? Join Kenny and El Jason as they guide you through a tasting of this bourbon and compare it with other four grain bourbons. -------------------------- Socials IG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupky FB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupky YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupky Join our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcast Partnership(s) Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUP Music: All the Fixings by Zachariah Hickman Thank you so much for listening! | |||
| E368 - Mash Up Barrel Pick Short | 16 juin 2026 | 00:26:25 | |
We continue to partner with Bros Liquor in Davis, California to bring you some excellent barrel picks. In this short, Kenny and Jason taste and review two Mash Up Barrel picks that are currently available for purchase from Bros Liquor. The two bottles are Old Forester 100 proof (black label) and a Four Roses OBSO Barrel Strength. In addition to these two, they also taste a Knob Creek Barrel pick that was done by our friend Rare Bird 101 (David Jennings). So, if you want to hear about some barrel picks that you can still obtain, this show is for you. Spoiler alert -- with Anthony and Steven out of town, the intro was anything but smooth.

| E367 - Dusty Old Crow | 12 juin 2026 | 00:42:46 | |
Steven recently acquired a 1960s bottle of Old Crow. How he got his hands on it is equally as compelling as the bottle itself. So join us this week as we go down the rabbit hole that is dusty bourbon. The bottle we taste on this episode was produced by National Distillers which was a famed producer of whiskey before selling it's entire portfolio to Beam in the 1980s. Since Old Crow is still being produced today, we couldn't resist the urge to compare this old bottle with the current version of the whiskey. A little history, a great story, and sharing a bottle of history was an absolute treat and we are glad you are here for it. -------------------------- Socials IG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupky FB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupky YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupky Join our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcast Partnership(s) Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUP Music: All the Fixings by Zachariah Hickman Thank you so much for listening! | |||
| E366 - Star Hill Farm American Wheat Whisky (2026) | 09 juin 2026 | 00:28:27 | |
About a year ago, we reviewed the inaugural release of the Star Hill Farm American Wheat Whisky. You can go back to episode 265 to listen to that review. For this week's short, we taste and review the Maker's Mark 2026 Star Hill Farm American Wheat Whisky. It is a limited-edition cask-strength expression. Unlike the distillery’s traditional wheated bourbons, it is a 100% wheat-focused whisky made from three wheat varieties (soft red winter, hard red, and hard white) and carries a retail price of $100. We liked last years version of this quite a bit. Will this bottle be a repeat or leave us wanting more?

Well, aside from that, Kenny recently made the trek up to Michigan and picked some EverNorth barrels for the podcast. He selected these with a star studded crew of friends and patrons.

| E364 - Buffalo Trace Experimental Collection 15 Year Wheated | 02 juin 2026 | 00:13:07 | |
If you've ever had the chance to visit Buffalo Trace, then you've almost certainly heard them talk about experimental bourbon mashbills, barrels, and aging processes. Experimentation is something they take seriously at the "Trace" which has resulted in more than 30,000 "experimental" barrels that are aging in their warehouses. For this this short, we taste and review one of the more recent releases from this collection: 15 Year Experimental Wheated Mash. The release comes from just 13 barrels that were aged for 15 years on the first floor of Warehouse H. Over the course of maturation, 62% of the whiskey was lost to evaporation. The final product was then chill-filtered and bottled at 107 proof. The result? You'll have to listen to find out. -------------------------- Socials IG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupky FB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupky YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupky Join our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcast Partnership(s) Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUP Music: All the Fixings by Zachariah Hickman Thank you so much for listening! | |||
| E363 - Jack Daniel's Special Release Small Batch Rye (2026) | 29 mai 2026 | 01:02:32 | |
Just last year, Jack Daniel's released Tanyard Hill Rye to much acclaim. On the heels of that release, they surprised the entire enthusiast community by releasing five different ryes via their White Rabbit Gift Shop. Each of these special release bottles are 8-10 years old and range in proof from 142.7 to 146.1. These five batches comes from three different Jack Daniel’s barrel house locations: Coy Hill, Boiler Hill, and Fire Brigade Fields. A total of 129 barrels were used for this release, and these barrels were laid down between February 2016 and August 2017. First and foremost, we would like to give a shout out to our listener David who graciously provided the samples to make this episode possible. But, how do these bottles taste? We took a long trip with many twists and turns to find out. You won't want to miss our take on these highly limited and coveted releases. If you've tasted them, we want to know what you think.

This "short" turned into a long episode and focused on two bottles that originate from Barrel King in Bourbon, Missouri. The first bottle is the 5th collaboration between Barrel King and Bourbon BarrALZ and this bottle benefits charity and is comprised of different Green River mash bills. The other bottle which originates from Barrel King is Drum Key Spirits Rye'd Cymbal Batch 2. This blend is crafted by Jason Callori of The Mash and Drum. Both of these whiskeys are surprising in their own right and worth your attention.

For this new release, industry veteran, John Rempe chose to marry his love of Italian wine with bourbon. Pact No. 12 is a blend of 7-9-12 year old bourbons (different recipes) finished in Italian Montepulciano and Sangiovese wine casks. How do you pronounce those names? Don't ask us.

However, for the first official time in the history of the brand, Four Roses put out a single barrel/barrel strength gift shop only release to honor all the mothers out there. Dawning the slogan, "all the proof you need for this Mother's day," this inaugural release was made up of numerous OBSQ single barrels that were 14 years old with various proofs in the 115 range. This distillery only release joins other holiday-centric releases and will likely become a yearly tradition. How does this stand up to previous limited roses bottles we tasted? We'll tell you all you need to know about this one and our take might shock you. Also, we recorded this episode on Mother's Day!

Kentucky Wildcask bourbon is back! Around this time last year, we tasted and reviewed the inaugural release of this product. We were impressed and excited to see what was on the horizon for the next release. As a reminder, Wildcask Bourbon is created by a group of students at the University of Kentucky who are learning about all aspects of the commercialization of bourbon. This class at UK is part of the Distillation, Wine, and Brewing Certificate offered by the Martin-Gatton College of Agriculture, Food and Environment. So how does the sophomore release of product taste? More importantly, how does it taste compared to last years offering? You'll have to listen to find out.

It's been a minute since we hit some blinds. In this short, we knock the rust off and ready our palates for some good ole' blind tastings. We also discuss our forthcoming appearance on "poor guesses" which is a blind taste off with the Bourbon Junkies. We also talk about recent barrel picks and all kinds of other fun stuff. So please join us this week and we attempt to guess age, proof, and distillate of three blinds samples. Two of the blinds are from large heritage distillers and other is single barrel from another podcast. Want more info than that - just give us a listen. -------------------------- Socials IG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupky FB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupky YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupky Join our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcast Partnership(s) Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUP Music: All the Fixings by Zachariah Hickman Thank you so much for listening! | |||
