  • My favorite whiskey podcast!

    I’ve been listening for about 2 years now and I never miss an episode. I’ve learned so much about the industry and have tried a lot of spirits from the owners y’all have interviewed. Also Renee really “pretties” up the podcast!

  • Hypocrites. Latest episode they talk about why they don't do reviews and then go on to promote some brands and trash others during their nonsensical discussion of "smooth". SMH

  • The Bourbon Show is the Real Barrel Proof

    The Bourbon Show is one of the best Podcasts on the industry bringing you up-to-date on current events with Guests who end up sharing amazing info on what they are doing and where they are going. The interview with, St. Louis' Own, Jackie Zykan is a stand out.

  • New found podcast!

    I have recently decided to take up a deeper interest in Bourbon, beside enjoying a glass at night. It’s now become a hobby of mine with collecting, learning and even educating others. I travel for my career, this is great to listen to on the long drives. As I travel state lines, it has also made me take the time to find some hidden treasures. Also, a proud Virginian, we have some great distilleries. Ragged Branch is a high recommendation.
