    Love the show! We went on a trip to KY(from Knoxville TN area) 7/2-7/5 to do some distillery tours and hunting…morning of 7/3 we went by Kroger near our hotel and there were people standing in line at the Kroger liquor store(Kroger has a liquor store?). We decided to stand in line and see what was available…got the #1 thing on my hunting list:Stagg 26A for 65 bucks! Bonus- it is delicious! They also had blanton barrel strength and most of the wellers. Went to Louisville for the weekend and enjoy... more

  • Fantastic Show - Every Time!

    If you’re looking for a podcast that hits as smooth as a well-aged wheated bourbon but packs the proof of a hazmat bottle, The Mash Up is exactly what your glass has been missing.

    These guys are doing it right. It’s rare to find a show that balances genuine respect for the craft with the kind of banter that makes you feel like you’re sitting at the rickhouse bar with them. I spend a lot of time dissecting juice and dodging marketing hype, so I truly appreciate their authentic approach. They don... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

E406 - Marquee Small Batch Bourbon
Q: And so if we're thinking here about, the future, how often do you think you're going to release this?
Brammell says the team has not set a release schedule yet, but hopes to make a future California-specific blend with input from local clubs and retailers.
E406 - Marquee Small Batch Bourbon
Q: So if it's batch one and they're all the same batch, why three different labels?
Brammell says the labels support collectability and give buyers a choice among illustrated characters; the first batch has 12 label designs.
E404 - Bourbon Brokering with Chevalier Casks
Q: How does that work? Like, do you have to get to taste anything? Do you just buy them sight on scene?
Bulk purchases are generally based on a sample representing a lot, not on tasting each barrel. Buyers receive randomly selected barrels and accept the risks of empty or inconsistent barrels as part of the transaction.
E404 - Bourbon Brokering with Chevalier Casks
Q: I just want to start off by giving us an overview of what Chevalier Casks is, what you guys do, and maybe just how you got started.
The founders combined experience in whiskey production, banking, law, and engineering to create a brokerage that connects buyers and sellers. They began during the barrel shortage by sourcing new barrels from Spain, then expanded into bulk whiskey transactions and related services.
E334 - The Blinds Roll On
Q: What is your favorite pet's name?
It seems like a lot of security questions.
