  • Top Notch Bourbon Podcast

    Kenny and Ryan are fantastic. Every time I listen to them or watch them on YouTube I can’t help but feel like a couple of my buddies made it into the inner circle and they are sharing the scoop over a pour. Great content all around.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

588 - Everyone Wants to Pick A Shortbarrel with Clinton Dugan and Manny
Q: How did you decide to go down that path of the Bee's Knees?
Dugan said the team had American whiskey it was unsure how to use, then developed honey-finished expressions using local Georgia honey. They refined the process by seasoning barrels with honey and balancing the whiskey so the spirit remains prominent.
588 - Everyone Wants to Pick A Shortbarrel with Clinton Dugan and Manny
Q: How did you all go, how did you get into this game?
Clinton Dugan said he joined a barrel-picking group in 2015, helped select roughly 350 barrels, and later started Shortbarrel after the group bought six barrels in 2020. The brand launched in Georgia in 2021.
587 - Glass Design Meets Actual Production with Andrés Hernandez of Fusion Glass and Chad Micheal of Chad Michael Studio
Q: How long does the process from napkin to glass typically take?
From initial kickoff to production handoff, four to five weeks for files and approvals, with total timelines including production and shipping often reaching seven to eight months depending on scope and geography.
587 - Glass Design Meets Actual Production with Andrés Hernandez of Fusion Glass and Chad Micheal of Chad Michael Studio
Q: What makes PCR glass feel premium compared to traditional Flint glass?
PCR can feel premium because it adds a sense of handcrafted, boutique production and a narrative of sustainability; the tint and the air bubbles can convey character, while careful color control and texture help maintain perceived quality.
587 - Glass Design Meets Actual Production with Andrés Hernandez of Fusion Glass and Chad Micheal of Chad Michael Studio
Q: Where does design start when a client wants something truly unique for their bottle?
Design starts with understanding the client's story and brand personality, then translating that into a concise narrative and an initial 10-question intake to guide the glass creation, ensuring the bottle reflects the brand from 10 feet away and is feasible to manufacture.
