    E407 - Maker's Mark Cellar Aged (2026)

    This years version of Maker's Cellar is the 4th release in the series. We've reviewed this bottle annually and we liked the first two releases. But how does this new one stack up? Well, first of all, it has the highest proportion of 14 year old bourbon of any of the releases.

    E406 - Marquee Small Batch Bourbon

    Marquee Exclusive Small Batch Bourbon is an innovative release by New Era Distillery based in Lexington, Kentucky. It breaks away from traditional distillery practices by relying on a rotating panel of "tastemakers" to create blends. Back in episode 278, we had Zane Brammell (owner and founder) on to talk about all things NEWS. Zane is back for this episode to tell us all about how Marquee came to be. Marquee Bourbon is blended by the community for the community. The very first batch of Marquee just released. It is limited and only available in Kentucky. However, it was created and blended by 9 "tastemakers" which consisted of bartenders, enthusiasts, spirits writers, and others including our own Kenny Mills. These folks engaged in a friendly whiskey blending competition and it resulted in the first batch of Marquee which is 94 proof and retails for $49.99. So join us this week for this spirited episode as we catch up with Zane, taste some good bourbon, and talk about what's next for NEWS and Marquee. -------------------------- 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!

    E402 - Heaven Hill Bottled-In-Bond Double Mash

    What do you get when you blend two mashbills at a large heritage distillery. Why...it's twice the mash...some might call it double mash. For this week's short, we taste and review Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond Double Mash. This is 9-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey released in a few months ago. Coming in at 100 proof, this expression is comprised of two mashbills blended together. The result is a four grain bourbon that contains corn, malted barley, and equal parts wheat and rye. So is this experiment one worth trying? Give us a 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!
