  • 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

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Bourbon Daily Show #3,628 – Quick Bourbon Notes Ends Soon
Q: What are the main reasons for ending Quick Bourbon Notes now?
The host describes the commitment required and the desire to move away from a heavy time investment, while still staying connected to the bourbon world through new formats and ongoing projects.
The Bourbon Daily Show #3,625 – Are We Going to Be Flooded with Sourced Bourbon Brands Soon?
Q: What happens? Are there a lot of people who are like, well, now's a great time for me to start that brand I've been thinking about?
The panel discusses how market conditions could encourage some players to start sourced brands, while others may let existing brands and distributors drive house-brand strategies. The consensus leans toward cautious optimism: deep-pocketed players might buy and hold aged stock to launch later, whereas many new entrants may struggle in tough market times.
The Bourbon Daily Show #3,618 – Mailing it in for Labor Day
Q: My question is, I would like to know how many hobbies or projects have you started and purchased supplies for then abandoned? What have been the most memorable?
Hosts and guests share personal anecdotes about numerous uncompleted hobbies, describing why they start projects, the amount of gear bought, and the funny or frustrating outcomes, with a focus on the clutter and the sentimental value of unfinished endeavors.
The Bourbon Daily Show #3,616 – Maker's Mark Hits A Highwater Mark
Q: What do you think about Maker's Mark having 17.1 million barrels resting?
The group agrees it signals significant inventory levels that could lead to more releases and creative products, but also raises questions about demand, pricing, and how ownership by a larger portfolio might influence consumer perception.
The Bourbon Daily Show #3,601 – RNDC's Bankruptcy
Q: What type of bankruptcy did RNDC file and what does that mean for the company?
RNDC filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which means they intend to reorganize and continue operating while restructuring debts, rather than liquidating. The outcome will depend on court decisions, creditor negotiations, and whether a viable plan can be agreed upon.
