A Famous Name In Bourbon Takes on Rum with Turner Wathen of Rolling Fork
We've had the very cool opportunity to have lots of famous names on this show, and today we get to hear the story of another brand that has been in bourbon for a very long time. In fact, in this episode you get a chance to hear from someone who's family once owned the Old Grandad label. Turner Wathen has a deep family lineage rooted in bourbon, and that originally piqued my interest because I used to own a bottle of Wathen's bourbon. Turner dives deep into his family history and how when he wanted to get into the whiskey business, he couldn't even use his family name. Turner shares his wild decision in 2014 by analyzing the whiskey market and feeling there is too much saturation so he dove into rum. But not just any rum, but he set himself on a mission to become the upmost recognizable independent bottler of amazing, high age stated rum, that is now Rolling Fork Spirits
Show Notes:

What's the Value in Reviving Vintage Labels? with Bourbon Community Roundtable #93
It's Bourbon Community Roundtable #93 and this time we're talking about vintage labels. We've seen a resurgence of them over the past few years and there are more coming out from big distillers and smaller lesser known brands. I wanted to ask if there is any value in doing this before focusing on something more modern. There is a feeling of nostalgia but it also made me think about movie reboots and if all the good ideas are taken.
Show Notes:
Above the Char with Fred Minnick (@fredminnick) talks about used barrels with rye whiskey.
What value is there in reviving old labels?
NDPs or small craft producers taking something from a family lineage
NDP or craft just to have a story
azerac doing the Pre-Pro bottle labels
Big names like Beam now doing 16yr OGD
