    Four Branches Bourbon And The Stories Behind Every Pour- Interview!

    Send us Fan Mail We sit down with Mike Trott and Harold Underdown from Four Branches Bourbon to unpack how a loss in the field turned into a whiskey built for remembrance and real connection. We also get candid about quality, pricing, veteran mental health, and why their motto “sip to remember” is a line in the sand.  • the origin story behind Four Branches and the friends they honour  • why bourbon is a reflective spirit that triggers memory through the senses  • partnering with Bardstown Bourbon Company while staying hands-on in blending  • the four grain mash bill choice and how wheat changes softness and complexity  • the chem room story with Steve Nally and the sample that disappeared  • why 96 proof matters and the quiet symbolism baked into the bottle  • building a brand in a crowded whiskey market without cutting corners  • limited time offerings like Black Ops and plans for future releases  • giving back through multiple veteran nonprofits and a 4% revenue commitment  • “sip to remember” as a response to drinking to forget and veteran suicide  • Tame The Kraken and the “never quit” message for mental health resilience  take a minute to watch the film. It’s called Tame the Kraken.

    Hugh Hamer Cherry Brandy finish!

    Send us Fan Mail We crack a Hugh Hamer cherry brandy barrel finished bourbon and end up with a shockingly sweet, creamy, cherry-forward pour that drinks lighter than its proof. The real surprise is how perfectly it pairs with Plum Pudding pipe tobacco and turns the whole night into a “Nirvana smoke” kind of memory.  • Debating how to pronounce Hugh Hamer and why the name matters  • First impressions on nose and palate, from vanilla cream to cherry soda vibes  • Smoking Seattle Pipe Club Plum Pudding and talking Balkan vs English characteristics  • West Fork Whiskey background, Indiana identity and the Old Hammer vs Hugh Hamer lines  • Mash bill talk and why 99% corn amplifies the finishing influence  • Why this feels like a summertime dessert whiskey and how chilling changes it  • The “Nirvana smoke” concept, nostalgia, and why perfect pairings are hard to repeat  • Single barrel store pick scarcity, pricing, and whether we would buy it blind  • Cherry brandy definitions, what barrels might actually be, and the muscadine brandy dream  • White labeling vs sourcing with purpose, plus why transparency drives value  • Bottle hunting vs drinking, and why trying odd or even bad whiskey teaches your palate  If you want more great content and other perks, be sure to support the show by clicking the link in the show notes.  We can be reached on our website, whiskeychaserspomma.com, with any ideas for the show.
