  • 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.”

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

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Bourbon Daily Show #3,539 – Bourbon Glut = Higher Prices?
Q: Why aren't prices dropping despite a glut of bourbon on the market?
Because producers are leveraging aging stock, selective releases, and price anchoring from premium products to keep average prices from falling, even as some lines see increases.
The Bourbon Daily Show #3,539 – Bourbon Glut = Higher Prices?
Q: What do you think will happen with bourbon prices in the near term?
The panel suggests that prices may stay elevated due to aging inventories and premium releases, with some brands using strategic releases to keep prices high rather than instituting broad price cuts.
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.
