Welcome to The Mash Bill Podcast! Host Whitney Rye explores the world of bourbon, diving into its rich history, traditions, and unique flavors. This episode focuses on the evolution of single-barrel bourbon, a high-quality product gaining popularity in the last decade.

Today we switch it up and cover a product instead of a brand: The creation and evolution of single-barrel bourbon! Listen in to the epic history of our favorite drink.

Whitney discusses bourbon's strict standards of identity, the origins of single-barrel products like Blanton’s (introduced by Elmer T. Lee at Buffalo Trace), and highlights iconic brands such as Eagle Rare, Four Roses Single Barrel, and Henry McKenna. Learn about the meticulous process and fascinating stories behind these exceptional bourbons. Cheers to a taste of history!
