Yes, she is a guest of the podcast, because if I can get Roxy to come on, I usually have to do a pretty good feat. You know, either do something special or break my wrist, and so she's on tonight to help me. But also we're going to be doing bookers tonight and this is the second batch of 2024. It is the Beam Home batch, and this is a very special batch to me because Roxy and I have been in the Beam Home. We have, we know, we've been in both Beam Homes. Actually, we've been in the Beam Jim, beam Mansion and then also the Next Door house, which you know. That's where Freddie and Kay live right now and it's where Sandy and Fred lived before and when Booker was there, and so it's a real. Really, are you bumping? I hear bumping.

Speaker 4: 3:43

You hear?

Speaker 3: 3:43

bumping, boom, boom, boom. Was that you doing something with your knee?

Speaker 4: 3:47

No, I wasn't doing anything.

Speaker 3: 3:49

Really Something's, didn't you feel that?

Speaker 4: 3:52

I thought it was your chair.

Speaker 3: 3:53

There's no, I'm not moving my chair oh. I'm home. Wow, it's in the. It's the haunted the haunted. Yeah, it's just like after talking about all that haunted stuff before in the pre, you know, all of a sudden it decided to just be there. Oh my. Before in the pre, you know, all of a sudden it decided to just be there. Oh my God. Anyways, we're the Scotchy Bourbon Boys www. My stomach was growling. No, that was boom, boom, boom I didn't hear that.

Speaker 3: 4:19

I could hear it on my microphone and I felt it on the oh, that's weird.

Speaker 4: 4:22

Well, yeah, you're picking up more because you have those headphones on.

Speaker 3: 4:25

Yeah, I hear it all. It's like I could hear what's happening. I was like what did your knee hitting and it wasn't no my knees were falling.

We got more to talk about, but tonight Roxy is joining us and it's great to have you in studio.

Speaker 4: 5:28

Yeah, I'm in a little bit of a break with my other job.

Speaker 3: 5:33

Yeah, it just worked out. And then we're on a little bit of it's a Tuesday night, which leads to I didn't do this on purpose, but it leads to our son's day off, so our granddaughter is not sleeping over. It's the summer. She would be on a weekday during the school year, but it's summertime, so he actually has her, so we don't have to worry about you know, because right around this time is bedtime under the desk oh that time.

Speaker 3: 5:59

If everybody ever saw that one. I was down here doing a podcast and she came and it was just like I caught her out of my little stealth.

Speaker 3: 6:08

But I caught her just a little bit and then I could see the reflection of her in my booker and whatever. But I was like I was expecting a dog, you know what I mean? I was not expecting a human face, because it just made no sense and I knew someone was coming over that might. But it just that they probably oh, our daughter sometimes comes over with their puppy.

Speaker 3: 6:32

And I thought maybe that's what it's going to be. And all of a sudden it was her face and I scared the living. She scared the living bejesus out of me and I scared the living bejesus out of her because I was just. If you go back to that particular podcast, it's worth it because she got me, she got me, she got me good, she did. Anyways, all right, so let me. All right, so we've covered everything. We've got all the sponsors. It's great to have a full set of sponsors, but we still have room for one more. Yeah, but I just started our first mid-roll. So anytime we go over 27 minutes on a podcast, which is every single time, we'll have a mid-roll, and that right now is being filled by Rosewood and Bourbon and Jason Giles. So, looking forward to that, june is the kickoff for them.

Speaker 3: 7:30

It took me a while he signed up before, but it took me a while to get all the media and everything and the same thing with Spirit of French Lick. Now that Alan's left, I've been able to get some new media with my voice and I'm getting better. I wrote it and I actually was able to record it and it seemed like uh, I, you know, I'm, I'm trying. It's like as we keep going, you got to get better, right, exactly so, uh, you haven't had the bookers yet, right no, I have not had this batch so I'm excited to try it so we have a card that has all the information.

Speaker 3: 8:08

That's one thing. That's great. What about Booker's folks? One Booker's comes in a wood box. It's always come in a wood box. The same person who made the wood box from the start started a business based off of it and still makes their wood boxes. Everybody can see that right now on the Facebook and the YouTube.

Speaker 3: 8:31

It's a beautiful box. Some people have used it to smoke old fashions in right. But you got the little. You got the Booker's on the side and on both sides. But then you got the picture of a Booker's statue on the back and it's got a clear glass and or or plexiglass Booker's statue on the back and it's got clear glass and or plexiglass Booker's thing and it's had that from the start. They used to be a blonde color. If you look behind me, you can actually see a couple of the Booker's back there, maybe if I'm not blocking it or Roxy's not blocking it, and but then it also comes with this beautiful wax bottle that's got a wax with a ribbon with the Jim Beam logo and a handwritten note from Booker's. That's been the same and each one comes in a different batch.

Speaker 3: 9:19

They come out anywhere between three and five batches a year. Mainly lately it's been four batches. I know that they were trying a couple years and they kind of got ahead of themselves. I'm talking with Fred about it. At one point he wanted the whiskey to. He didn't want to start putting it out too quick or it's not old enough. So if you want to start reading the card with the story and then give us the stats where everything, they give you the stats on where everything was aged. What is the proof? You could start with the proof. Oh, you want the top Okay.

Speaker 4: 9:55

So, it's 124.6 proof.

Speaker 3: 9:58

Nice.

Speaker 4: 9:59

Seven years two months and 22 days is the age. It is Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey and it's 62.3% alcohol by volume. Straight bourbon whiskey and it's 62.3 percent alcohol by volume. Uh, batch number 2024-02 and it says a little bit about what jeff has already told you that it's named after the beam family home. But it said that you know booker loved to entertain and always wanted to bring people through the house. Lord knows how many people have been here over the years Friends, neighbors, business partners, employees everyone's welcome. This is written by Fred Noe, a seventh generation master distiller. He said, lord knows Dad loved when people would stop by and come to our back door for a drink and it's now a tradition and I'm proud to carry it on. In this batch we've tried to capture some of the joyful memories I made in the Beam House for you to enjoy at Eel's.

Speaker 3: 11:50

So it's special to us because we've been at that back door. We sat at the kitchen table with Sandy and Fred and done a lot of stuff with them and we love, you know, their family. I mean Sandy's. I just went down and spent a day with her last Saturday, which was really super nice. I even forgot my wallet and she spotted me and this particular bottle was at the distillery. So I basically she, she allowed me to get, she did it and I paid her for for the bottle. Uh, that's one thing that the the no's do not do is they basically you're I mean, if you're there and you, you, you get into the man cave. You know you can have a couple pours, but but overall they're just not giving away. They basically play by the rules.

Speaker 4: 12:45

Yeah, let me pour that, because I don't want you to do anything, so I got the cap up because, you did that earlier.

Speaker 3: 12:51

And let's get that.

Speaker 4: 12:53

You really couldn't find nicer people that are extremely accessible at events and, oh god, you want to switch or people that are, you know, extremely accessible at events, and, oh God, that's.

Speaker 3: 13:08

You want to switch.

Speaker 4: 13:08

Yes, please, so yeah, so I like it. He gets drunk on the podcast.

Speaker 3: 13:10

I like it when you do the pour. So one of the things. So Booker's is something special to me, and everybody kind of knows that this is the first bottle that I ever hunted Before I met Super Nash, before anything, Kitchen Table, which was, I believe, a 2018 release. It was either 2018 or February of 2000. It could have been 2019. One or the other, and I wasn't able to get it. When it was released, I didn't know. It was released in batches.

Speaker 4: 13:47

Do you want me to read some of these notes to it some more?

Speaker 3: 13:49

Yeah yeah, I didn't know it was released in batches so I all of a sudden it was gone. We went back to Wisconsin and I was able to get a bottle at the time and it was the first bottle that I ever kind of really wanted and obtained. And then, ever since then, I did a painting that Fred and Freddie, the seventh and eighth generation master distillers, have signed. Also the painting is in their kitchen and when we go there it's kind of special to see that. And then also got to know Fred's wife and Freddie's mom, sandy, very well and it's just such a great. What would you say?

Speaker 3: 14:34

This is a great bourbon. It's barrel strength straight from the barrel. It's barrel strength straight from the barrel. It's as close, it's not filtered. It's not filtered, it's just basically run through a screen to get the sentiments. But there sometimes are sentiments in the bottom of the barrel because it's run through a. You know it's not a filter screen, it's more like a. You know it's not to filter out other stuff. It wants to keep the bourbon as close as you can get and that's what Booker wanted to make this bourbon as close as the experience he had in the Rick House and this is for the longest time, one of the few that were just there's just so little, you know cast strength or barrel strength and unfiltered, but now there's a lot more, but this set the tone. But I absolutely love the batches. It's the one I collect yearly because the names and I get them and then I compare them and we've compared years and we've compared a lot and it's the one besides, I think. Also I also collect Little Book, which is Freddie's blend.

Speaker 4: 15:48

All right, so, anyways, this is a beautiful dark amber color Wow.

Speaker 3: 15:52

And are you going to let?

Speaker 2: 15:55

me Noses, can I even?

Speaker 3: 15:56

roll I don't think you should.

Speaker 4: 15:58

So this is the breakdown for this program 14% came from the fifth floor of seven-story warehouse Z, 20% came from the fourth floor of the seven-story warehouse 3. 14% came from the fourth floor of the seventh story warehouse Three, 19% came from the fifth floor of seven story warehouse Q and 25% came from the seventh floor of the nine story warehouse H and says the color of the batch is rich and deep Amber. Didn't I just say that, inviting you to put your nose deep down into the glass and enjoy the aroma?

Speaker 1: 16:42

It's very nice nose on this bourbon.

Speaker 4: 16:45

The nose is pleasant, with vanilla and some dried fruit notes enticing you to take a taste. When I tasted this batch, the warm flavor that spread through my mouth reminded me of sitting on the porch of the beam house. The welcoming aroma and taste led to a long and pleasantly sweeter finish coming from the aging in oak barrels. I know you will enjoy this batch of bookers named for the place, my of many beam family members, that many beam family members called home and where I call home today so see, it's just full.

Speaker 4: 17:18

It's just full of information, right so when you nose this bourbon, it has, yes, you smell a lot of vanilla. It's very sweet, but it is a warm, cozy feeling.

Speaker 3: 17:31

So this is the one of the most unique bookers that I've I've. I've had this when I fresh opened it. I'm gonna see if I still get it. What Super Nash is watching and he says cheers to Tiny and Roxy, cheers Super Nash Also.

Speaker 2: 17:50

Greg was watching.

Speaker 3: 17:52

Yeah, stick it back over there so that it's not in front of your face.

Speaker 4: 17:56

Yeah, I wish it was. I didn't realize it was in front of my face. That's all right.

Speaker 3: 18:01

So anyways. So this one is very unique, this batch and I don't know if there's a batch of whiskey that's ever been. I've ever gotten this like this, but let's the nose. Now the nose doesn't. It has vanilla and it has like an almost a tangy beer ale. There, you know. But I get a lot of vanilla, but the thing that I get is like when you make frosting with the powdered sugar, I mean, all I'm smelling is birthday cake frosting. It's just the frosting, there's no cake right it's like a sugary frosting vanilla.

Speaker 3: 18:52

Like how about the? Stuff that you buttercream frosting yeah and um uh, duncan heinz, or what's the other brand of frosting that you buy in the store that you just open up, the jar Pillsbury, there you go.

Speaker 4: 19:05

Ho, ho, ho ho.

Speaker 3: 19:08

Ho, ho, ho, ho. That's oh God. Anyways, I don't.

Speaker 1: 19:14

Why do I not? Why did I never?

Speaker 3: 19:16

go back to the. It's good that we're not watching it, right? It's fine we don't have to watch ourselves do we?

Speaker 4: 19:22

No, we don't.

Speaker 3: 19:23

So we've got both cameras For once. We've got both cameras right in front of us. It's working. I don't know if my eyes are open. I hope I don't look as stressed as I've been over the last two days. I haven't had a sip yet, but I think this will alleviate some of my stress, I mean well, you look stressed to me, but I'm sitting right at this moment.

Speaker 4: 19:49

Yeah, you have your brow is permanently furrowed like this. He's doing this all the time you have to. If if you were one of my clients, I would tap you right here so mitch hutton is saying is it better than pigskin or bardstown? We'll let you know in a second. Here we go, the nose is pretty damn good, it's unique how often

Speaker 3: 20:12

do you?

Speaker 4: 20:13

and I do get the dried fruits. It almost has a little bit of a scent of a fruitcake like at Christmas time to me Like a Christmas fruitcake With those dried you know dates figs.

Speaker 3: 20:29

Whoever could think you could do this. It has a really nice, nice hug, but it doesn't burn your, it doesn't you know where it burns.

Speaker 4: 20:43

Going down Like there's no burn in your mouth, it's just lit up. My the back of my tongue is lit but what about into your, my right now? My lungs are hot, no, it doesn't burn me, it doesn't do that on the way.

Speaker 3: 20:53

I mean the the legs on this, when it, when it kind of starts to come off the side, the legs are unbelievable and I'm gonna just ignore the fact I would I mean.

Speaker 4: 21:05

You know how much I enjoy oaky finishes because I was a chardonnay drinker before. I will still am.

Speaker 3: 21:12

But this almost has you don't like an oaky finish.

Speaker 4: 21:17

this this might not be your jam, because the finish is oaky.

Speaker 3: 21:21

I almost get. I get the oak, but I also think it's like there's an aspect of a beer.

Speaker 4: 21:28

Yeah, no, 100% that what you get on the nose, that little bit of.

Speaker 3: 21:34

Maybe a leather.

Speaker 4: 21:35

Like more, like a hops.

Speaker 3: 21:45

Yeah, but the front is so sweet. Yes, there's none of that on the front. The front is like like, only on the it's just confectionery sugar. It's not caramel. There's no fruit in the taste, so it's it's like three different experiences.

Speaker 4: 21:57

Yeah, which is very unique. Right, you get something completely different on the nose than you get for the body, but then a little bit of that what you described as that beer comes through on the finish.

Speaker 3: 22:12

What I can tell you is, and me and CT, when we were doing this, we were coming up with leather.

Speaker 4: 22:18

Maybe it's the corn or tobacco that is like.

Speaker 3: 22:22

A leathery tobacco finish almost, which I'm getting.

Speaker 4: 22:27

Not so much tobacco, but yes, the leather.

Speaker 3: 22:29

So here to add to the finish, to make it better. Okay, put it in your mouth in the front and just leave it in the front with your tongue just right there, just tasting the sweetness that never goes away. And then do a chew and all of a sudden the sweetness from the front stays in the roof of your mouth. Stays longer, stays longer, which then affects your Gotcha. I just I can't believe I've never had a bourbon that when my tongue's in the front that it just keeps For one. It's 124.6, right.

Speaker 4: 23:03

Oh, you definitely.

Speaker 3: 23:06

But in the front of your mouth. It does not drink In your action.

Speaker 4: 23:11

I just left it in the front. Now the tip of my tongue is kind of lit up like 120.

Speaker 3: 23:15

But could you taste it? Could you taste that sweetness?

Speaker 4: 23:19

Yeah, so more Brown sugary sort of sweet. I don't go for brown sugar.

Speaker 3: 23:27

I get freaking powdered sugar. Powdered sugar, it's just pure powdered sugar vanilla. This would be a great bourbon to make bourbon balls with.

Speaker 4: 23:38

Oh, my goodness yeah.

Speaker 3: 23:40

It's already sweet.

Speaker 4: 23:43

Although I wonder if the pecans would bring out more of that Sourness.

Speaker 3: 23:47

Yeah, the oakiness, the oakiness. Maybe it wouldn't be the best, although I wonder if the pecans would bring out more of that Sourness. Yeah, the oakiness, the oakiness.

Speaker 4: 23:51

Maybe it wouldn't be the best. I just cannot believe how I wouldn't I don't know if I'd want to wreck it by dumping in a jar of pecans. It's really, it's quite.

Speaker 3: 24:02

I'm going to say when someone was asking me All right, virgil says cheers from the Philippines. Hello, virgil, nice to see you. Send me a link. So, Nash is telling me he wants to hey.

Speaker 4: 24:19

You want a sample.

Speaker 3: 24:20

Speaker 4: 24:46

What do you think about that? Is it better than pigskin or bard stone?

Speaker 3: 24:50

It's completely different. I don't think Totally different. I don't think you can compare the two and I do believe All right Participants, I think there's a place I can Do I go no Share. You get a lot more. I could share a place I can Do. I go no Share.

Yeah, sean says it sounds like it's a different profile than the prior releases and it is.

Speaker 3: 26:03

It totally is.

Speaker 4: 26:03

It's totally different, which I think is a good thing, because we need varieties and spice of life. It's totally different, which I think is a good thing, because variety is the spice of life.

Speaker 3: 26:11

Nash has it in Now. He won't be able to be well. He'll be seen on YouTube, but he'll be heard, all right, that's not good.

Speaker 2: 26:28

All right.

Speaker 4: 26:30

Yeah, Now that that finishes, you know we've taken a few sips. I definitely get that beer, more beer taste or leather.

Speaker 3: 26:41

Or maybe that we actually came up with, but you don't really know what leather is, because I don't really see you chewing on your baseball glove.

Speaker 4: 26:50

That's where I get my who says I didn't chew on my baseball glove. Did you chew on your baseball glove. I chewed on the strings of my baseball glove.

Speaker 3: 26:56

I chewed on the strings too, and there's that little bit of flavor in there. That's where I get that.

Speaker 4: 27:02

You forget, I was a girl.

Speaker 3: 27:06

Okay.

Speaker 4: 27:07

As a girl.

Speaker 3: 27:08

You were um girl. Okay, as a girl you were, but I didn't think you still, I really didn't think you were. Uh, all right, full screen. Hopefully nash joins us, because if he joins us, youtube gets a thing and, uh, he will be able to be heard. I believe, believe on the microphone Seen.

Speaker 2: 27:28

Speaker 4: 27:52

Can you imagine, martin, if you broke your wrist, how screwed you'd be in your job? I know, oh my gosh, you'd be so screwed.

Speaker 5: 28:02

I would be, yeah, I would be.

Speaker 4: 28:03

Same with me, I could do nothing. Same with me, I could do nothing. I can't deliver babies with a broken wrist and I cannot break down fire extinguishers. No, no, you can't twist, and turn and do all those things.

Speaker 3: 28:14

Yeah, don't break your wrist.

Speaker 4: 28:15

I did deliver babies with a shattered kneecap, though. Oh my God, because I don't use my knees for that. How did that sit?

Speaker 2: 28:23

me down, oh God.

Speaker 4: 28:24

It was intense, all I got to say it was intense.

Speaker 5: 28:27

Yeah, I have to imagine, I have to imagine Hi Roxy, hi Mark, absolutely.

Speaker 3: 28:35

Good that you came in. I don't have a separate microphone for you, but I do have this microphone should pick you up. I mean, it's just, that's the way it's going to be right.

Speaker 5: 28:46

Absolutely, because Jeff couldn't pick you up right now. Yeah, he can't pick me up.

Speaker 3: 28:53

I'm not allowed to lift anything more than five pounds.

Speaker 4: 29:06

And, quite frankly, picking this bottle up is like a stretch.

Speaker 3: 29:08

Why are you doing that? It's not five pounds.

Speaker 4: 29:10

But don't even strain it at all.

Speaker 3: 29:13

I didn't even get to look at that ever, I just ignored it, I think he broke his bursa sack.

Speaker 4: 29:18

My bursa sack I broke some sort of sack. He broke some sacks.

Speaker 3: 29:22

Yeah.

Speaker 5: 29:24

I know which one they broke so you were able to pick up.

Speaker 3: 29:28

You got this batch while you were out, and then you're telling me oh, I got to do this and that. Now, all of a sudden, you're here.

Speaker 5: 29:36

I've been working my butt off and, like I say, my house is like one quarter of the way sided. The whole front side is.

Speaker 4: 29:45

Oh wow. It's going to be like a new house when we come down absolutely.

Speaker 5: 29:50

It looks beautiful.

Speaker 3: 29:51

Can't wait for everybody to see why don't you have those guys go underneath and run while they're putting the siding on? Have them go underneath and run your cable run that cable.

Speaker 5: 30:03

Yeah, hey, that's. That's the next thing I promise, probably when I get back from Hawaii. I want to do it because you told me by July 1st, but I'm really pushed between now and.

Speaker 3: 30:19

He's going to Hawaii. They're celebrating their first anniversary in Hawaii, and then he told me not to do a good podcast with the guests while they're in Hawaii. And then he told me not to do a good podcast with the guests while they're in Hawaii and I'm like it's not how it works.

Speaker 5: 30:35

He told me he was going to set up the best barrel pick and tasting with the best distiller in the world.

Speaker 4: 30:44

Yeah, while you're in Hawaii.

Speaker 3: 30:46

What an asshole I was going to set that up with Greg Schneider. We're going to do a chicken cock barrel pick while you're in Hawaii. What an asshole. I was going to set that up with Greg Schneider. We're going to do a chicken cock barrel pick while you're in Hawaii.

Speaker 4: 30:53

No, we're not. I won't let him do that.

Speaker 5: 30:57

He set up the barrel pick with Spirits of French Lake last year while I was away.

Speaker 3: 31:04

No, that was the Harlan Wheatley. The Spirits of French Lake was this year and you just didn't come. I mean you and CT were like, oh, we can't make it, and CT was in Florida.

Speaker 4: 31:17

So what do you think of this? Yeah, what's your take on it, Martin?

Speaker 3: 31:20

Are you getting the sugar that's in there, because?

Speaker 5: 31:23

I was not able to find it. It's not in South Carolina yet. And what is that?

Speaker 3: 31:30

Oh, you're drinking. The special bookers 125.4. That's our bookers. That's on the painting.

Speaker 4: 31:39

Yeah.

Speaker 5: 31:43

I have that. That's your full painting bookers right there there it is, oh yeah, the painting bookers.

Speaker 3: 31:47

Yeah, that's the painting bookers. Yep, that's the painting bookers.

Speaker 5: 31:49

Actually I've not even opened it, I just wanted to make you a little jealous. I looked at five different liquor stores across South Carolina today and I checked with my main guy here in Anderson and he called up his guy, sonny, and he he was checking all their stores.

Speaker 3: 32:10

they're called Liquor Express and he was like nope it hits here in Ohio already and I got this at the distillery but, uh, not last Saturday but the Saturday before. And you know, I don't know this is the most unique batch of bookers I've ever had. It's not and it's called. It's really cool that it's called the Beam Home Batch and we've been there at the Beam Home and it's not a lie. They share their home with a lot of people and it's just. You go down there and it's small town, awesome. Sandy and fred and freddie and k are just so grounded in and they just keep making such great bourbon yeah and come.

Speaker 4: 32:56

There's still three day tickets left for the kentucky bourbon festival yeah, just come don't, don't think about it just come it is you can such an amazing time.

Speaker 3: 33:07

Well, this year, if you can't get lodging in Bardstown. El Presidente has arranged for Louisville to have shuttles back and forth. Yes, so get the lodging, come on, the shuttles back and forth.

Speaker 5: 33:24

I mean it's fantastic, you cannot go wrong with this festival absolutely, and, like I said, there's several other towns that are close by too oh, there are yeah if you can stay by, but uh, definitely, uh, el presidente has gone all out this year uh, this is going to be probably one of the best festivals ever.

Speaker 5: 33:46

I think so, and I and I called you early this morning because we were talking about the cigar lounge and I've already messaged and talked to Stephen Bonte and we got a time slot. That's good for him. But I need a code. I cannot get into the cigar lounge or any of those things without a code, and that's how you get a code.

Speaker 3: 34:12

That's a Stacy thing. You've got to get Stacy. Talk to Stacy and tell her that you need the code so you can put that on our VIPs.

Speaker 4: 34:21

Yeah.

Speaker 3: 34:22

And Steven wants one okay.

Speaker 5: 34:25

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3: 34:26

Randy was saying that it's booking pretty, pretty hot and heavy, so you got to get a hold of stacy on that one okay tell her we want the four, because roxy's not going to come up and smoke a cigar, that's for sure.

Speaker 3: 34:39

And but we got me uct uh and shopping while you're smoking cigars and steven, that's four people and there could be, and we'll just go up there for that hour. It's 75 per person in an hour. Okay, yeah, I don't need to do that, but you know. So, Randy, basically, you know, set it aside and did it and he told me how they set it up. But this cigar lounge is the double-decker, so down below will be the shop.

Speaker 4: 35:13

I'll reach out to Randy, so down below will be the shop.

Speaker 3: 35:14

this is just a little taste of the cool as shit things that they do at kentucky. Well, and then every year there's something else, so that you got to really really pay attention. But we're going to be like, like I said, smoking a cigar at k Bourbon Festival. We're going to be filming that. Oh yeah, yeah, it's a double-decker tent above the store, so the store is going to be the same size as the VIP now this year the merchandise store and then above is going to be this cigar lounge that you can book with your friends, and there'll be bourbon up there and cigars.

Speaker 5: 35:50

There'll be bourbon and couches, very comfortable seating, lounge chairs and couches, and all With coffee tables. You'll have all the materials you need to smoke cigars and relax and just overlook the festival and enjoy yourself.

Speaker 3: 36:11

I want to throw a shout out to Justin Pagnard Pagnard, yes, pagnard, and he was. He is a Scotchy bourbon boy. I believe you were the sixth, correct, I think he was number eight. Justin came down and shared. I believe his share was a Jack Daniels barrel pick, a special barrel, single barrel, and that was delicious. Hey, justin and uh, but overall it's just been um, I think this batch. I mean, what do you, holy man?

Speaker 5: 36:58

I drank it.

Speaker 4: 37:04

I mean I think, I think for 124.34 proof it's, it's the same proof as the one that he has.

Speaker 3: 37:13

It's 124.4. 124.4. Isn't that the same as the A1 batch Nash?

Speaker 5: 37:22

Actually I'm a 4-4. I've held the bottle up of the A1 batch, yeah, but I'm a 4-4 of the 24-01. Yeah, which I really like this batch.

Speaker 3: 37:34

That's the Bardstown batch right.

Speaker 4: 37:35

Bardstown.

Speaker 3: 37:36

Someone asked is this better than Bardstown or Tagalong?

Speaker 5: 37:40

24.5.

Speaker 3: 37:42

Pigskin. Now I'll have to say when I drank pigskin the first time, that is one of the few that I drank through right away and got myself another bottle Because it was so damn good. Pigskin was good, but this, like I said, it's confectionary sugar.

Speaker 4: 38:05

There's even some like honey notes on the finish. For me, right now, what I?

Speaker 3: 38:10

I drank my sip it, sip it and tell me what, what you're getting now, now that it's settled it's settled.

Speaker 5: 38:20

Actually, I prefer to say once it's, once it's uh, air aerated, it's Aerated, it's Just like a good wine. Once it's aerated a little bit, the flavors open up Tastes exactly the same as what I just downed.

Speaker 4: 38:34

Oh yeah, Super long legs.

Speaker 3: 38:36

All right, do you want to bash it? Sure, all right, so we'll do that.

Speaker 4: 38:44

Oh God, darn it. Oh wait, Do you need me to get something? Oh Wait, why are you holding the mallet? Oh my God, folks, it's the barrel bashing Wooden mallet. There you go. You can barrel. Bash the booker's box.

Speaker 3: 38:59

Because I can't reach the barrel. No, you cannot, so I'll smash the booker's box.

Speaker 5: 39:06

He called me earlier this morning. He's like oh my god, my pecs are hurting, my shoulder's killing me.

Speaker 3: 39:12

Now we're jammed into this yeah, at one point the pack was starting to well, you're a big guy.

Speaker 4: 39:18

That's six foot five, two hundred and some pounds, you know, coming down like a ton of bricks onto the cement.

Speaker 3: 39:27

Anyways, let's. I'm a little bit relaxed, and that did not make me stay relaxed right there.

Speaker 4: 39:35

Well, you know what folks he keeps talking about, how that he didn't hit his head, so by the grace of God, he did not knock himself out. He fell backwards, so he did not knock himself out.

Speaker 3: 39:45

Yeah, I got nothing.

Speaker 4: 39:46

We're going to be thankful that you did not knock himself out. Yeah, I got nothing. We're going to be thankful that you did not knock yourself out.

Speaker 3: 39:50

Yeah.

Speaker 4: 39:51

And make me have to call an ambulance.

Speaker 3: 39:54

Yes, for sure.

Speaker 4: 39:55

Because there's no me getting this guy up.

Speaker 3: 39:57

All right, nash. So do you want to do the barrel bashing? Do you want to go over the rating system? Or do you need me to do it Because you don't remember the rating system? Or do you need me to do it Because?

Speaker 4: 40:08

you don't remember. He just totally ripped on you, Martin.

Speaker 5: 40:12

You always go over it. He just ripped him right. Yeah, I can't remember that.

Speaker 3: 40:16

All right, the Scotchie Bourbon Boys Barrel Bashing Rating System is based off of nose, body, taste and finish. We have evolved it. It used to be four for each, but now we have added an extra point for the taste and finish so that you can give it a total of five on the taste and finish or four on the nose and the body, because I always felt that if it tasted great and smelled like crap, I don't give a shit if it smells bad. But the taste is very important and I also feel the finish is very important because it's the last thing that when you're done. It's how long that stays is very important for even you know, going upstairs before you brush your teeth. So, anyways, that's our, our system, but also me and Roxy had come up with. Initially it was a butt up up but it became a but I'm boom but I'm boom.

Speaker 3: 41:26

Yeah, so, anyways, it was an extra butt rating. Uh, we did that on, if you remember, on our vacation. We did a vacation right before we went to kentucky bourbon festival that year and that's where we came up with the but up, up and then, uh, so that can be added in any specific category that you think is exceptional, based off of what you're tasting. So you could give it a six out of five or you could give it a five out of four, for a total of a perfect bourbon being 19 of 18. But 18 points is the standard rating, so All right, so here we go, roxy, let's go off of the nose to start off.

Speaker 4: 42:18

I give the nose. It's up to four. Right, I give the nose a three because it's not super complex, but albeit very, very good.

Speaker 3: 42:32

I will concur on the nose being a three. One of the reasons I find it being it's a little complex because I pick up different flavors but I still pick up the sugar and I pick up, but it's very, very subtle. Yes, and to be a four for me.

Speaker 3: 42:51

It's got to be, it's got to be complex, but you've got to know what you're nosing. And this one you've got to like rip it out. Right, it's there and you can rip it out, but I give it a three. All right, let's go on to the body. I'll go first on the body. Sure, the legs are fantastic.

Speaker 2: 43:12

now yeah when I do the chew.

Speaker 3: 43:20

Even if I put the bourbon into my cheeks, the sweetness stays in the middle. It stays at the top of my roof of my mouth, tip of your tongue on the tongue and a little bit underneath, but the cheeks just sting. Yeah, you don't taste, nope. So again, I love the body in the glass. The legs are super long and I will give the body for me it's a three also.

Speaker 5: 43:56

She gives it. I just did the taste and all, and just the same time I was doing the mouth fill and everything and as you were describing the mouth fill and everything, it was hitting all the same notes in my mouth on the 2401 bag that you were getting off of. That. I mean, that was so cool, everything you were describing. If I had the bourbon in my mouth and was letting it go down, I could have been saying for this bag.

Speaker 4: 44:27

The same thing, yep.

Speaker 3: 44:29

All right, so she gives it a. Did I already pound it? No, All right, so you get to go first on taste.

Speaker 4: 44:50

I will give the taste. A three A three Mm-hmm.

Speaker 3: 44:54

Out of five.

Speaker 4: 44:55

Oh, out of five. Okay, I will give it a four out of five Because, although it's sweet and vanilla, it's pretty. What am I trying to say?

Speaker 5: 45:16

That's it.

Speaker 3: 45:17

Sort of bland and stops the crust. I wouldn't say bland. There's no way that this is bland.

Speaker 4: 45:21

It's like what you taste is what you get, like it's not. It's not multi-dimensional as far as the taste.

Speaker 3: 45:27

You're not tasting other flavors.

Speaker 4: 45:28

No.

Speaker 3: 45:29

Until the finish.

Speaker 4: 45:30

Right, I didn't say anything about the finish, I just said about the taste.

Speaker 3: 45:35

So you gave it a four.

Speaker 4: 45:36

Yes.

Speaker 3: 45:37

I'm going to give this taste, though a five and a ba-da-ba.

Speaker 4: 45:45

What? Oh, I don't know why he did that. Maybe he did hit his head full Ba-da-ba.

Speaker 3: 45:50

And I'm going to tell you why Because I've never tasted a bourbon that tasted like cream frosting, and it is so.

Speaker 4: 46:01

So Jeff loves vanilla, I will eat frosting out of the jar.

Speaker 3: 46:07

I don't anymore.

Speaker 4: 46:07

This is a biased opinion.

Speaker 3: 46:09

I don't anymore.

Speaker 4: 46:10

Of a man that loves vanilla frosting. Well, but isn't that?

Speaker 3: 46:13

it's all biased Anytime, somebody's. If you love vanilla, vanilla frosting, this is a vanilla frosting, freaking heinz right, pillsbury frosting not very, I mean. And it's less calories. I mean, if I'm scooping frosting straight out of the thing, I'm I'm ending up, this is less calories than that. So I'm gonna just, instead of scoop the frosting, what would be really good is to scoop the frosting, take a little thing out of the jar and then drink some of the bourbon and mix it with that. That would be, but it's that sweet, that's that sweet. So that's where you get the five with the ba-dum-bum a six total.

Speaker 5: 46:53

Okay, all right, it's my. Are y'all picking up any kind of fruit?

Speaker 4: 46:57

flavors or anything. Yes, like dried fruits, like dark.

Speaker 3: 47:00

Where.

Speaker 4: 47:01

Dried fruits. I still get that.

Speaker 3: 47:05

I don't know what you're talking about and you didn't give me any more, so I need a little more.

Speaker 4: 47:10

You're a man and I'm a woman and I have more taste buds than you.

Speaker 3: 47:15

You don't have more taste buds than us. You're a super taster and I'm trying to be.

Speaker 4: 47:20

I'm a junior super taster.

Speaker 2: 47:22

What.

Speaker 3: 47:26

What did you say?

Speaker 4: 47:26

I'm a junior super taster.

Speaker 5: 47:29

You've said it time and time again, I'll give you, you can taste better and smell better and pull things more out of the aroma and the flavors than what men can.

Speaker 3: 47:42

Pull things out of what? And this?

Speaker 4: 47:44

is due to the fact that it's part of evolutionary child rearing stuff.

Speaker 3: 47:52

Don't be saying that stuff there are women out there that don't rear triad, it doesn't matter, they still have better olfactory. They have more olfactory cells than you do they can have more, but I drink way more than they do.

Speaker 4: 48:10

Okay, sure.

Speaker 3: 48:13

Actually the training, though, is where you can get over. Me and Super Nash have done a lot of training. Yes, you can get over, and we me and super nash have done a lot of training. Yes, you have training. I've helped you, because everything my training turned into your training. You know, we've traveled with the aroma kit and whatnot, my training and I respect your palate too. I do you know what therapy surpasses your training in herbology and your intelligence surpasses my without saying yeah, that's how this works.

Speaker 5: 48:44

All right, so um we'll pull a plug for the stave and thief society.

Speaker 3: 48:50

Yeah yep right there we're me and super nash. Uh got that, uh, we got the Executive. Bourbon Steward.

Speaker 4: 48:59

Certificate, certification.

Speaker 3: 49:01

Certification and we are Executive Bourbon Stewards. So if anybody's interested in tastings in South Carolina or Ohio, we do bourbon tastings. Yeah, that's a great kit?

Speaker 5: 49:13

Absolutely, and this is the kit that you get sent home with you once you go through the executive bourbon training.

Speaker 4: 49:22

It's a very expensive kit, yeah, so it's really worth it.

Speaker 5: 49:26

But it's well worth it and it helps you train your olfactory senses right, mm-hmm. Sensory senses right and uh, just help also on your uh tasting senses, uh as to uh helping you with the bourbon and the whiskeys that you're tasting and what you're pulling out of them, and so let's finish, you know what.

Speaker 4: 49:49

You don't even need a tasting kit, because go into your cupboard and get vanilla and cinnamon and you know allspice.

Speaker 3: 49:56

Cilantro.

Speaker 4: 49:57

Cilantro and, you know, dill.

Speaker 3: 49:59

I still haven't had a cilantro bourbon. I'm hoping I never do.

Speaker 4: 50:03

I hope not either, because that's horrible. Oh my God, you just ruined my Christmas present for you. Jeff and lavender, it's right up there.

Speaker 3: 50:12

Cilantro is right up there with amberano.

Speaker 4: 50:15

And smell, sniff those spices and then drink your bourbon and it will train your nose to recognize it Like this.

Speaker 5: 50:27

Oh my God, oh my God. Saturday night love, that's how I smell my armpits.

Speaker 3: 50:36

Sometimes I smell my armpits.

Speaker 4: 50:37

Thanks, Mary Catherine Gallagher yes, all right. So uh, all right we should have her on the molly shannon we have no mary katherine gallagher, we don't want molly shannon, we don't.

Speaker 3: 50:49

I did try and contact uh aaron rogers because he's a scotch drinker, so I asked him to be on the podcast, but he hasn't responded yet.

Speaker 4: 50:58

That doesn't surprise me.

Speaker 5: 51:01

I've reached out to the Smashing Pumpkins.

Speaker 3: 51:04

Well, that would be great if I had a bottle.

Speaker 4: 51:09

Alright. So on the finish, so it's out of five. Right, I give the finish a four Because, although I'm not the biggest fan of the leather beer sort of finish flavors, it's so long, it is the longest finish ever. So you know, it's very enjoyable to have like this very nice finish going on for a very long period of time. But I do like the oak. Thumbs up for the oak.

Speaker 3: 51:42

I'm going to try and do it with my what a dum-dum.

Speaker 4: 51:48

Oh my god.

Speaker 3: 51:49

That was with the cask, the splint folks.

Speaker 4: 51:53

He doesn't want to get better, he just wants to.

Speaker 3: 51:58

This is cast strength.

Speaker 4: 51:59

He just wants to be the Booker's cast. Strength bourbon, he just wants to keep it broken swollen forever, all right. How was the butt wiping today?

Speaker 2: 52:14

He's left handed.

Speaker 3: 52:15

Yeah, it was better than I thought it would be. It works. I was able to get no residue eventually, alright. So anyways, you brought it up anyways, alright. So as far as the finish goes, it's not my favorite finish but it's so long if I'm rating on length, it's so long. If I'm rating on length, it's a five.

Speaker 4: 52:42

Yeah, so that's why I gave it a four.

Speaker 3: 52:44

I know Now the sweetness after multiple sips kind of transfers through, yeah, and the baseball glove reminds you of your childhood. Right, which brings me back to 1976 playing first base and you know and how. If that's what a finish does, how can you give it nothing more than the five it brings me? It's the beam. This is a generous mood tonight. This is the beam home batch. Where we've been to the beam home.

Speaker 4: 53:24

Bringing me back. I'm trying not to let that influence me.

Speaker 3: 53:27

No, no, it's got to influence you, because this is what bourbon's about. Don't tell. I mean, if somebody like if your best friend I said it's warm and cozy Is Ed Bly, Ed Bly. I don't know why I say Bly, Ed Bly, who makes Old Stubborn, and he's your best friend and you like his bourbon. God damn, it should go up a couple notches. That's what it's about. All right, give it a five. So I'm going to give it a. I didn't say that, that's what you said. I said the finish is the length of a five, but it brings me back, and so I'm going to also give it a five.

Speaker 4: 54:02

I gave it a four, so you're not also-ing anything.

Speaker 3: 54:05

I gave the other one a five plus a put-up. That was the also I give this. I mean, there's not a lot of bourbons that take me back to my childhood. That take me back to my childhood, no. So, although the taste of leather isn't a five taste, on its own.

Speaker 4: 54:24

Yeah, I said it's not my favorite taste, but it tastes like my baseball glove strings. Yeah.

Speaker 3: 54:31

So based off that and I used to chew the shit out of those I was nervous that hardball coming at you. I was worried about that consistently.

Speaker 4: 54:40

I never was.

Speaker 3: 54:41

You played with girls. No, I did not play with girls, I played with the boys, you've never played with girls and I've bashed that baseball into the outfield every single time. I wasn't worried about getting hit they were my bitches. I wasn't worried about getting hit. They were my bitches. I wasn't worried about getting hit. I was worried about fielding it and the ball bouncing up and hitting me in the nose or the face you didn't worry me.

Speaker 5: 55:05

Oh, like a girl.

Speaker 3: 55:08

If that's where you want to go Nash, next time I won't invite you, so shouldn't the time that I played?

Speaker 4: 55:12

baseball with your friends and I got drilled straight in the chest with a line drive coming off of a 19-year-old strong American male. Not have anything tell you about how I mean your chest was bulletproof. For God's sake, back then I mean, that's what I loved about you. It was straight in the you know where.

Speaker 5: 55:35

Yeah, you're absolutely beautiful, you had nothing to worry about. You know wear. Yeah, you're absolutely beautiful, you had nothing to worry about.

Speaker 3: 55:42

Thank, you, nash, I really appreciate that compliment.

Speaker 4: 55:47

Jeff used to play baseball with strippers On a team of strippers.

Speaker 3: 55:53

Wait, wait wait, softball.

Speaker 4: 55:54

He played softball on a team of strippers and it was also the team it was. But he didn't strip.

Speaker 3: 56:03

But they respected me.

Speaker 4: 56:05

They did because you could hit homers.

Speaker 3: 56:08

And I could feel the ball one year.

Speaker 4: 56:11

But it was very nice for me.

Speaker 3: 56:14

You were mine, so I didn't care. Paul would have been the only one I would have been jealous about. But then there was. He was too nice. No, he was super nice.

Speaker 4: 56:25

And he had the greatest girlfriend ever.

Speaker 3: 56:27

There was his girlfriend.

Speaker 4: 56:30

They were like a power couple.

Speaker 3: 56:32

Yeah, there was like super nice people.

Speaker 5: 56:35

I hope you have a great life together, paul.

Speaker 4: 56:37

Tilkey yeah, I hope you have a great life together. Yeah, I hope you have a great life together?

Speaker 3: 56:39

Yeah, because she was. They were so nice. They were nice, but both of them won the gene pool.

Speaker 4: 56:45

They did, they won the gene pool lottery.

Speaker 3: 56:47

Yeah, it was crazy. I don't think he stayed stripping for very much longer.

Speaker 5: 56:54

I played baseball with strippers too.

Speaker 4: 56:56

You did not.

Speaker 5: 56:58

What it was a drinking game.

Speaker 3: 57:02

I played baseball with strippers too? You did not. No, this was softball. But the league that we were in actually we were in a good league, we were in the Schlitz All the Schlitz players from the professional baseball league had just broken up professional softball and they were all in the league we were playing in. So there were some guys that would hit the ball. I could hit a homer, but they could hit it like twice as far.

Speaker 4: 57:28

Yeah, they could hit it into the yard across the street from the baseball field.

Speaker 3: 57:32

Yeah, but a homer, you know whether it goes an inch over.

Speaker 2: 57:35

Yeah.

Speaker 3: 57:36

Yeah, thank you for being my hom over yeah.

Speaker 2: 57:40

Yeah, thank you for being my homer. Aw, thanks, aw.

Speaker 3: 57:44

Okay, so anyways, with that said, my score was 3-3-6. And then it was 6 and a 5, which is 11. So I gave it 17 out of 18.

Speaker 4: 57:57

Yeah, and my score was 3-3, 4, 5, right.

Speaker 2: 58:02

No 3, 3, 4, 4?

Speaker 4: 58:03

4. 3, 3, 4, 4.

Speaker 3: 58:06

So you were 14 of 18. Mm-hmm, that's good 17 of 18 and 14 of 18. So that brings us 16, 15. So 15 and a half out of 18 is what we score this spectacular. So 15.5 out of 18 is what we score this spectacular. Honestly, this is one of my favorite batches to remember. I like uniqueness and it's the first, it's very unique.

Speaker 4: 58:28

If we had spelled it for unique, I would have given it a 5 and a but-a-but.

Speaker 3: 58:32

But think about it like this Nash. A lot of the bookers have that peanut taste that Jim Beam has, you know, and then got the peanut with that little bit of barrel proof funk that they have. You know that I love, I love bookers, but this does not, this does not enter into that realm Bardstown does. Yep, that's a really good one, that realm Bardstown does. Yep, that's a really good one, but this paint 2024-01 batch.

Speaker 5: 59:03

This one's the.

Speaker 3: 59:06

Bardstown batch.

Speaker 5: 59:07

No, the Springfield batch.

Speaker 3: 59:08

The Springfield batch. You're right.

Speaker 5: 59:10

It didn't have that either remember.

Speaker 3: 59:12

Yeah.

Speaker 5: 59:13

It had that real sugary sweet taste. I mean, this is one that I mean for being 124.5, does not drink like that.

Speaker 4: 59:23

No, I don't think this one does either.

Speaker 3: 59:25

I think Fred's on a roll this year.

Speaker 4: 59:27

Yeah, I think yeah.

Speaker 5: 59:29

He is. Yeah, the flavor profiles are really evolving into something amazing. I mean, all the batches are amazing, but now they're really. It's just. The world is his playground. You know the Rick House.

Speaker 4: 59:48

The Rick House is his playground.

Speaker 3: 59:50

yeah, I can't believe that I've never tasted a bourbon have a taste of frosting. I've had it taste like birthday cake, you know but it's got the cake part that you know that bread-ish cake taste that a lot of pot stills will have right.

Speaker 5: 1:00:08

That sweet battery bread flavor.

Speaker 4: 1:00:13

Yeah, this is very unique.

Speaker 3: 1:00:20

This is very unique. So before we go real quick, I want to do a shout out to Christy Maddy. She is still doing the bourbon raffle tickets for charity, for Open Bees to help kids. And if you haven't gotten your tickets, you need to get your tickets because it's such a great cause that buying a ticket, you're giving to the charity that really needs that money. But you also have a shot at all the Pappy's, the bourbon that she was able to amass, the 75 bottles that she's going to be auctioning off real soon. We're trying to reach a goal and if you haven't reached, if you haven't bought a ticket, you need to buy a ticket. Super Nash was fantastic, you know, this week. I can't say enough.

Speaker 4: 1:01:19

This raffle means something these are for kids with learning difficulties and differences. It affects so many parents in America. They really really do make a difference in these kids' lives.

Speaker 5: 1:02:01

Anybody that's doing anything to help young people succeed in school and help the school districts and systems to. You know, work with these kids and allow them to learn in the way that they naturally learn how their brains are wired is super important because, you know, the kids are our future. That's what I was just trying to convey this week and what I challenged all my friends and family and all the groups that I belong to you know, whether you're into drinking bourbon or whiskey or not I challenged them just to get on board and to help christy and and open these. Uh, just help these kids. Just, you know, reach out, because there's there's often a lot of charities in this world that you can reach out to and and help. But, uh, I really do feel that this is one that I'm behind and that is really a good one and all yeah.

Speaker 4: 1:02:39

Yeah, it really does.

Speaker 3: 1:02:42

It matters.

Speaker 4: 1:02:42

Your donation reaches the kids and makes a difference.

Speaker 3: 1:02:45

So it's open-bescom. It's just that simple. As soon as you type that in, you hit enter. You're right there. You're right there at the raffle. Pick up a couple tickets. You know you did good and you got a shot then at some spectacular. I've seen the collection. Just to be in front of those 75 bottles was awe-struck kind of thing. It's just like I've never seen anything like it. The stags, the George T stags, the whole antique collection, the whole Pappy collection. I mean, if it's something that collectors want, she's got it for this auction and it's well worth it. I mean, if you don't get one, you've helped a really good cause. That's the way it should be. But at least you had a shot at something that most people don't have a shot at.

Speaker 5: 1:03:41

So, christine, the thing is, every ticket you buy is a chance to win a bottle. It's not like. You. Win one bottle and all your other tickets go out the door.

Speaker 4: 1:03:52

No.

Speaker 5: 1:03:53

You win 10 tickets. You got a chance to win 10 of those 75 bottles. You could win the whole entire Pappy collection or the whole antique collection.

Speaker 3: 1:04:06

Well, the odds of that are probably not in your favor, but at least hopefully you get one.

Speaker 5: 1:04:12

Like I say it is possible, but you've got to be in it to win it. Help Christy and Open Bees out by going to their website openbeescom and purchase a ticket. One ticket.

Speaker 3: 1:04:28

Open-beescom yeah, purchase a ticket for sure, and you know, like you said, you're helping kids and there's nothing better than that, right.

Speaker 5: 1:04:45

That's the main goal here, right.

Speaker 3: 1:04:48
