  • Sad

    As a Kentuckian and a bourbon enthusiast, I was extremely disappointed with the first podcast I listened to. It was an episode from September 19, 2024 and, unfortunately, ten minutes of time was devoted to a discussion of your favorite zoo. As a frequent host of bourbon tasting events in my home, I hoped to be able to include your podcast as a valuable source of information. I was mistaken.

    As we say in my neck of the woods, “ Bless your heart.”

    The show and its wide variety of cast is 10/10. This podcast is the perfect blend of good conversation between a group of people that starts to feel like friends (even if you have never even met the people on the show) and knowledge or certain individuals views on the industry and products. If you’re a whiskey lover, looking for a good laugh, or wanting to learn, this is the podcast for you. Hit play and escape everyday life

The Bourbon Daily Show #3,503 – What Did Goeken Learn as the King of Bourbon at the South Texas Trailer Park
Q: How many bottles did Goeken start with, and how many did he come back with?
He started with about 30 bottles and came back with six, planning to adjust for next year with roughly 30 again due to more time away.
The Bourbon Daily Show #3,506 – Is Bourbon Involved with Linda's Summer Adventures at the Lake?
Q: What are some of the favorite spots or venues around Lake of the Ozarks for bourbon or bourbon-adjacent experiences?
Linda and the panel reference several places around Osage Beach and the Lake, including casual restaurants with bourbon lists and venues like Baxter's, Wobbly Boots, and Margaritaville, noting that the lake's social ecosystem encourages socializing with friends and family, and that many people prefer relaxed, accessible locations rather than high-end fine dining for lake life.
The Bourbon Daily Show #3,506 – Is Bourbon Involved with Linda's Summer Adventures at the Lake?
Q: Linda, tell us about bourbon at the lake and what your typical setup looks like down at the water.
Linda describes a mix of bourbon enjoyment and lake life, noting that evenings often feature drinks on the boat or at the cabin, with preferred lighter or mixed drinks during heat of summer, and that local spots influence what people drink. She also mentions having a modest collection down at the lake and a preference for sharing and teaching others about whiskey rather than letting bottles go to waste.
The Bourbon Daily Show #3,480 – Bourbon Tourism in Kentucky
Q: What do the latest tourism numbers say about bourbon's popularity in Kentucky?
2.7 million bourbon tourists in Kentucky in 2025 indicate continued strong interest, with some confidence that the industry is holding its own despite consolidation and high-profile, expensive distilleries.
The Bourbon Daily Show #3,460 – Green River Laid Off ¼ of its Employees… Maybe This isn't as Bad as it Sounds
Q: Is this just another sign that the bourbon industry is ending?
The panelists largely viewed it as a sign of evolving market conditions rather than an immediate industry collapse, with some seeing opportunities in what Green River and related players are adjusting to, such as production capacity and sourcing strategies.
