This week on The Whiskey Trip Podcast, Big Chief takes a ride to to explore Buffalo Trace Distillery and chat with Dominic Guglielmi, author of Warehouse H: The Story of Blanton's Bourbon, America's Most Influential Whiskey.

Dominic tells listeners about his journey from being the ultimate Blanton’s Tater and collecting everything ever produced with a horse on top of a bottle to writing his amazing book. Warehouse H is the ultimate guide of the original single barrel bourbon. With history, education and icon photos, this is one amazing read.

Big Chief starts the show by sipping on Blanton’s single barrel and Dom cracks open a Blanton’s Japanese gold. To close out the first half the big man pours a Takara black label that is 80 proof. It reminds him of Irish whiskey.

Big Chief starts the second half with Blanton’s Gold, while Dom sips on a straight from the barrel. The big man then moves onto a straight from three barrel himself. To close out the show Big Chief cracks a sample of Blanton’s from 1988. To him it has notes of freshly roasted peanuts. Nice and tasty.

This ride on The Whiskey Trip showcases one man’s love and passion for Blanton’s Bourbon.

Cheers to being this committed.

In this Episode of The Bourbon Life Podcast, presented by Liquor Barn, Matt and Mark spend some time hanging out with Graham McTavish, Founder & President, of McTavish Spirits.

The guys talk with Graham about his remarkable career as an actor and how his secret love for Bourbon that began over 20 years ago led him to start McTavish Spirits, the designation of “celebrity whiskey” that has been slapped on some celebrity endorsed brands and how Graham stays actively involved with McTavish Spirits to avoid that moniker being applied to his whiskies, as well as what the future looks like for McTavish Spirits.

They also taste and review McTavish Spirits’ “The Keeper” Kentucky Straight Rye and “The Warchief” Bottled in Bond Bourbon.

This week on The Whiskey Trip Podcast, Big Chief takes a ride to the Bourbon Capital of the World to chat with Lisa Wicker, Master Distiller and Founder of Saints and Monsters Distillery/Distilling Consulting.

Lisa tells listeners about her journey from seamstress, to wine maker, and then to whiskey. Lisa is the living example that everything in life happens for a reason. From Limestone Branch to Widow Jane to her consulting firm of Saints and Monsters, Lisa has earned the respect of all in the whiskey community.

They start the show by sipping on Widow Jane that has notes of cherry cough syrup. It’s a beautiful small batch bourbon. They then move on to Leopold Brothers Bottled in Bond. Big Chief believes that this whiskey could compete for this whiskey of the year.

They start the second half with Reservoir Distillery’s small batch. This Richmond, Virginia distillery is gaining steam and now Lisa has put them on the big man’s radar. They finish the show with The Bard Distillery, Cinder and Smoke 13 year old bourbon whiskey. It’s flooded with fruit notes, butterscotch, and a beautiful floral, perfumesque profile. So tasty.

This ride on The Whiskey Trip showcases the life story of an amazing whiskey woman.

Cheers!
