    E342 - A Conversation w/ Jarrod Record (Barrel King) & Alec Balas (Whiskeyland TV)

    In this episode, we sip and chat with Jarrod Record who is the co-founder of Barrel King and Alec Balas who is the co-founder of Whiskeyland TV. You've heard us mention a bit about Jarrod in past episodes when we've reviewed Barrel King products. However, having him in the basement to answer questions gave us a whole new perspective and appreciation for his bourbon journey and brand. Alec is essentially a bourbon filmmaker and he brings unique perspectives about the spirit through his ability to visualize and tell stories about everyone connected to the industry. Individually, both Jarrod and Alec have fascinating stories, but their upcoming collaboration is something you'll definitely want to check out. Together, they are launching a YouTube based whiskey series known as "Mixx Tank" which promises to bring whiskey collaborations and exceptional content with the hopes of enhancing the bourbon community. This new collaboration is a small part of a larger conversation filled with laughs and perspectives you could only get from people that are ingrained in the industry. Flanked once again by guest co-host Ryan Alves, we feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to sit down with Jarrod and Alec for this enlightening and fun conversation. -------------------------- Socials IG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupky FB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupky YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupky Join our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcast Partnership(s) Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUP Music: All the Fixings by Zachariah Hickman Thank you so much for listening!

    E341 - Larceny & Elijah Craig Store Picks

    Over the past few years, you've heard us say many positive and negative things about Elijah Craig's barrel program. For this episode, we taste and review two different Elijah Craig barrel picks and one Larceny Barrel Proof pick that were selected by one member and many friends of the podcast for Bros Liquor in Davis, California. Will we pass, try, or buy? You might think you know the outcome, but it may surprise you. As per the usual, there will be blinds and all kinds of other fun stuff (like a recap of the Brewzle event at Dark Arts). Cheers. -------------------------- Socials IG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupky FB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupky YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupky Join our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcast Partnership(s) Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUP Music: All the Fixings by Zachariah Hickman Thank you so much for listening!

    E340 - River Roots Barrel Company Hang w/Ryan Lintz & Christine Schmittgen

    For the second time in the history of the podcast, we welcome back our friends from River Roots Barrel Company. The last time we had them on the podcast, River Roots had been in existence for just over a year. Since that time, the brand has continued to flourish and they are getting ready to move into a brand new (and larger) building in downtown Cleveland. In this episode, you get hear about all the exciting things that are in the works for River Roots and the best part is that you'll get to hear it directly from Ryan Lintz (Co-Founder) and Christine Schmittgen (Single Barrel Program Manager). River Roots has become a destination for whiskey enthusiasts across the nation and even in South Korea. So, join us this week as Kenny solo hosts this long form conversation with the good folks from River Roots and shares some absolutely epic pours in the process. -------------------------- Socials IG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupky FB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupky YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupky Join our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcast Partnership(s) Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUP Music: All the Fixings by Zachariah Hickman Thank you so much for listening!

    E339 - Green River Wheated Bourbon + Surprise Blinds

    Green River is the "Whiskey Without Regrets." In this episode, we welcome back our friend Jason to the podcast and he brought the brand new Green River Wheated Full Proof Bourbon as well as a Green River Wheated Single Barrel Store pick from Liquor Barn. In addition to tasting and reviewing these two bottles, we also incorporated some surprise blinds from the basement and from our community. Green River has been putting out some tremendous stuff so you will definitely want to hear our take on these new wheated offerings. Spoiler alert - this was a the last episode we recorded on a very busy evening so things got a little spirited. -------------------------- Socials IG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupky FB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupky YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupky Join our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcast Partnership(s) Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUP Music: All the Fixings by Zachariah Hickman Thank you so much for listening!

    E338 - Buffalo Trace Single Oak Project

    Buffalo Trace Distillery’s Single Oak Project (SOP) is the ultimate in bourbon exploration. Consisting of different mashbills, wood, and a host of other unique variables, this grand experiment boasts 192 unique bourbons with 1,396 different flavor combinations. With this experimentation, Buffalo trace aims to have it's consumers isolate and compare every variable that shapes what ends up in the bottle. Our good friend Jason brought bottle of SOP for us to taste and review. Mistakenly, we thought this was a rye when it was really bourbon with rye as the predominant flavoring grain. At any rate, we had a a lot of fun with it and would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that facts are indeed optional when it comes to bourbon. Enjoy the short! -------------------------- Socials IG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupky FB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupky YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupky Join our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcast Partnership(s) Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUP Music: All the Fixings by Zachariah Hickman Thank you so much for listening!

    E337 - King of Kentucky Small Batch Bourbon

    When Brown-Forman announced they would be releasing a new small batch version of King of Kentucky, we were excited and also had many questions. Instead of more single barrels, this remixed version of the "King" comes in the form of three batches with a brand new mashbill. For the first time, King of Kentucky has released a three-batch series, each bottled at  a distinct proof to showcase the complexity of its aging process: Batch 1: 105 proof; Batch 2: 107.5 proof; Batch 3: 110 proof. For this episode, our friend Jason was able to secure Batch 2 and we supplied some blinds to make sure that the very first time we tasted this whiskey would be blind. How did things end up? Is this new version of the king really the "King?" You'll have to listen to find out. -------------------------- Socials IG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupky FB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupky YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupky Join our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcast Partnership(s) Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUP Music: All the Fixings by Zachariah Hickman Thank you so much for listening!

    E336 - Willett Speakeasy Bourbon

    In 2025, Willett quietly released a blended bourbon called "Speakeasy." Coming off our best of blinds where Willett was well represented, we thought it would be good to taste and review a shelf product that's available in most markets. Our friend Jason joins us as a guest co-host and the conversation ranges from high class seafood to amusement park lines. As always, we give you our honest take on this relatively new offering from the Willett Distillery. -------------------------- Socials IG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupky FB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupky YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupky Join our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcast Partnership(s) Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUP Music: All the Fixings by Zachariah Hickman Thank you so much for listening!

    E335 - An Evening With Bruce Russell

    Bruce Russell is the Associate Master Blender for Wild Turkey. Over the past few years, he has been responsible for making some of the most epic Turkey releases and is making a name for himself by pushing the boundaries of what Wild Turkey can be. We've had the chance to talk to Bruce before, but it's never been like this. In this episode, we have a long form conversation and taste through some of the most revered Wild Turkey offerings in history as well as some new things that Bruce is working on. We are joined by guest co-host Ryan Alves from Bourbonoutfitter.com who also happens to be one of Bruce's closest friends. This episode really needs no description. It's 2 plus hours of Bruce sharing his vision, wisdom, and intimate stories that you've never heard before. Cheers and be on the lookout for all the goodness that is on the horizon from Wild Turkey. -------------------------- Socials IG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupky FB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupky YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupky Join our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcast Partnership(s) Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUP Music: All the Fixings by Zachariah Hickman Thank you so much for listening!
