In this Episode of The Bourbon Life Podcast, presented by Liquor Barn, Matt and Mark spend some time hanging out with Wes Henderson, CEO & Founder, of True Story. Wes was previously a guest on Episode 55.

The guys talk with Wes about the legacy that he and his father, Lincoln, created with Angel’s Envy and how Wes is continuing to build on that legacy with his 6 sons now at True Story, his decision to forego retirement and get back into the Bourbon business and the factors that drove that decision, and the incredible project that the parent company (which Wes also owns), Saga Spirits Group, has planned in Woodford County, Kentucky that will not only provide a home for True Story but will also create a destination location for Bourbon tourists to visit and enjoy.

They also taste and review the soon to be released True Story Bourbon Finished in White Moscatel Casks and the True Story Rye Finished in Brazilian Amburana, PX, and Oloroso Sherry Casks.

This week’s episode of The Whiskey Trip takes listeners on a wild and exciting journey with Brandon Cummins from High N’ Wicked, where he serves as the blender and director of education.

Brandon shares how the brand’s name was inspired by Bruce Kiskaddon’s poem, “High and Wicked,” which tells the story of a cowboy and a wild bronc. The whiskey captures the untamed nature of the horse while honoring the man determined to tame it.

The episode kicks off with a tasting of their Straight Kentucky Bourbon, a 5-year-aged sweet mash at 104 proof. With a high-rye mash bill of 51% corn, 39% rye, and 10% malted barley, it offers flavors of caramelized berries and baked fruit pie, complemented by baking spices and orange notes. The palate is sweet, yet the whiskey remains dry and bold overall.

In the second half, they take on the Kentucky Straight Rye—a 5-year-aged, 98.2 proof whiskey with a mash bill of 91% rye and 9% malted barley. This one is full and complex, with rich layers of apple, pear, shortbread cookie, and cinnamon spice.

This episode and brand pay tribute to the men and women who tamed the Wild West, perhaps with a sip of whiskey to ease their burdens and pain.

Cheers to another memorable stop on The Whiskey Trip!
