Send us Fan Mail This is a first for TIMBP! At the inspiration of Kyle, we're seeing if Willett can hold up against the sometimes maligned and often shirked Old Pogue Bourbon, which many consider to be a sleeper hit. Our methods may be different, but we sure are going to give y'all a good time regardless! Plus, we've got plenty of good ol' This is my Bourbon Podcast goodness for ya, sound good? Hope so. It's...good. Good. Enjoy. Become a patron of the show at http://www.patreon.com/mybourbon...
Send a text I'm so pleased to welcome our new friend Bennett Rea to This is my Bourbon Podcast this week. Bennett's long-running show on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube has garnered millions of views and acclaim as he shares recipes and diets of renowned political leaders modern and historical, both in and out of the United States. I've set him up with a flight of bourbon that's going to bring him both enjoyment and postulation as he concocts cocktails and finds that his palate is perfectly cr...
Send us Fan Mail I'm taking the week off, but while I'm away, Chad and Kyle are here to play! They're chatting about the newest addition to the Sazerac Family of Properties (distilleries? Locations? Who's to say) and what it could mean for their production moving forward, as well as how long it could take for any meaningful change could be felt. Plus, they just so happen to whip out a review last second in class TIMBP fashion and do your ol' Perr Bear proud. It's a great one, folks. Enjoy. B...
Send us Fan Mail I had the pleasure of making a new friend and interviewing Mr. Robbie Shoults out of East Texas about his family's long running restaurant, Bear Creek Smokehouse. He's also got quite the bourbon collection and an absolute adoration for the Buffalo Trace line, and we take a deep dive into that, as well. It's a fantastic time and I hope y'all enjoy it! I also checked out the Total Wine Spirits Direct brand Old Emmer to see if it's any good. Spoilers: it's something. Enjoy. Bec...
Send us Fan Mail A lesser-known company out of Atlanta, Georgia is starting to make larger waves for themselves with their sourced bourbon and rye, and Short Barrel's Four Grain Bourbon is their newest offering. Coming from a blend of Green River and Wilderness Trail bourbons and coming in at 92 proof, this $40 bourbon is available (mostly) nationwide for you to check out after our review here, folks. Plus, we're trying something new for Flying Blind. It's a trip! Enjoy. Become a patron of t...

Send us Fan Mail I've been trying to find this bourbon for a while, folks. No, seriously. Years ago, I was told of a bourbon that was 4 years old, brand new, and held promise for the future of the industry as we know it. Have you heard of it? Well, funny enough, I've heard this story over and over again, and it's lead to successes unheard of on so many occasions. But, here we are, facing down the barrel of the potential next big kid to be featured in your home bar. Jackson Purchase, out of We...
Send us Fan Mail It's my esteemed pleasure to welcome back to the show our dear friend Chad (Chade?) Watson, AKA MyDailyBourbon, to the show, while also bringing into the TIMBP family a new face, that you may or may not be seeing a whole lot more of soon, Mr. Kyle Wipert! He's a Lexington, KY local that has become a close friend of the show and is bringing some incredible energy to the podcast. We hope you enjoy him being around as much as I am going to. We've got a great episode this week, w...
Send us Fan Mail When life gives you lemons (meaning you tried to get a bottle of bourbon to review and it wasn't there when you thought it was going to be), what do you do? You turn the whole episode of your podcast upside down and try a bourbon 11 different ways to tell people how they should drink it! Now, and I mean this sincerely, I'm starting to think that there may be more ways than we've previously considered...should we change it up next time? I think we might need to. Anyway, how ab...
Send us Fan Mail We're back in the full swing of TIMBP things, folks, and it's time to check out the newest, hottest release from the folks at the Willett Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky! Featuring two separate mashbills and a cask strength bottling, this Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey has had folks wondering if it's the next big thing for their home bars. But, does it live up to expectations? Plus, I've got some little discussions about non-traditional Wild Turkey proof points and I pay...
Send us Fan Mail As another year is officially in the books, I'm taking one final look back before we say goodbye to 2025 forever. What are some of the best pours, some of the worst, and some of those right in between that just didn't quite make the cut? Were you able to predict what I had in my top 10? Were there bourbons (and/or ryes) that should've been here? And what the heck is this Flying Blind I've got lined up for this week's episode? All that and more on Ep. 414 of This is my Bourbon...
Send us Fan Mail Become a patron of the show at http://www.patreon.com/mybourbonpodcast It's the last TIMBP of the year, folks, and we're squeezing one last review in before the clock strikes midnight! That's right: we're taking a final look at a bourbon release that could very well knock our collective socks off (all two of 'em) and give the rest of the year a run for its money. Plus, there was some massive news that made the rounds this week and we better talk about it before things get ou...
Send us Fan Mail As we reach the end of the year, I thought it was important to take some time to look at what made 2025 successful and where it fell apart. As I bring Chad Perkins from It's Bourbon Night on to chat about it, we look at the releases we got, the distilleries that opened (and...closed), and how the market fought against all odds to to show up and out in any which way possible. Plus, we check out and review the newest edition of the Old Fitzgerald Bottled in Bond from Heaven Hil...
Send us Fan Mail It's beginning to look a lot like Rye Time! And we've got two ryes that are going somewhat head to head this week for a double review for you, dear listener/viewer. One, being Rare Character's cocktail rye and the revival label "Hurst Knoll," comes from Lexington, Kentucky, while Seelbach's private label "Christmas Rye" has something to offer for anyone looking towards nostalgia or the opportunity to bring a new sipper into their collection. They're both supposed to be served...
Send us Fan Mail It's time once again, my friends, for another installment of one of my favorite series here on TIMBP. On "The Best Way to Drink," I'll be taking Old Grand Dad 114 to the mat and giving it the 4 pour treatment. Will neat, a splash of water, on the rocks, or with cola this time around? Plus, I'm revisiting a pour from earlier this year to see how it stands up. Get in for a good time, and enjoy. Become a patron of the show at http://www.patreon.com/mybourbonpodcast Leave us a ...
Send us Fan Mail The limited release that crosses loves for many bourbon and beer lovers has once again found its way to our glasses. That storied, bourbon barrel finished imperial stout, hailing from the great northern state of...Illinois...comes to us at a hearty 14.8% ABV this time around. Yet, there's something quite different about the presentation and packaging this time around for the Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout...how peculiar. Does it matter, in the end? Perhaps...perhaps ...
Send us Fan Mail In yet another shakeup on the podcast, I'm taking a break from bourbon for a week and diving deep into Kentucky's own Cornbread THC Seltzers! Derived from hemp and raised in the Bluegrass, these Commonwealth drinks are an alcohol alternative that are sweeping the nation for those who are looking to change up their evening pours. I'll be tasting the Peach Iced Tea AND the Salted Watermelon flavors, putting them through the paces of Nose, Palate, Finish, and Price, per the usua...
Send us Fan Mail There's a lot of chatter right now around the current status of Maker's Mark's Cask Strength Bourbon product and what's next for it. As the most recent release features an age statement and a curious "Limited Bottling" tag on the label, as well as a significant decrease in the amount of non-age stated product available, there isn't a lot of clarity as to what's happening behind the scenes. So, what should we expect? Are we being set up for a massive change and we don't know i...
Send us Fan Mail Well well well, fancy seeing you back here for another review episode of TIMBP! But, wait...this isn't even bourbon! Well, that's because I haven't had the pleasure of reviewing the brand new, very first rye whiskey from my friend Dixon Dedman over at 2XO. That's right, folks, this week I'm taking a look at the 2XO White Oak Rye, a double oaked rye whiskey that uses Dixon's proprietary finishing process. Coming in at 92 proof with no age statement, how does this one live up? ...
Send us Fan Mail We're taking a break from the normal bourbon content this week, and instead I'm turning my attention to the sweet delights of rum! I'm welcoming. some Latino friends onto the pod, as well, to help me through the process of tasting it and get into some of the nuance of the spirit. Plus, I get them to taste a smidgen of bourbon, just to get things warmed up. Enjoy.

After hearing your tasting of the Barrell Rye b1, and I think you have talked about it previously, I decided to grab one today, my local honey hole still has 6 bottles on the shelf. Hope it's as good as advertised.
There was nothing about this episode I didn't love.
