The 28th episode of the Bourbon & Banter podcast – Jack Bourbon? - is now available for your listening and drinking pleasure. As you can tell from the title, this podcast addresses the most often-asked question in American whiskey. Bourbon Heritage Month has come to a close, and we’re thrilled with the response we received during the best damn month of the year. We recap BHM22, and Pops wonders: “should we do the Twelve Days of Bourbon Cream in December?” Bob isn’t convinced this is worth doing, though.

Pops makes his way to Breckenridge Distillery to visit with founder Bryan Nolt. What makes a doctor trade in their stethoscope for a Glencairn? This very special episode of the Bourbon & Banter Podcast will reveal the answer to that question plus the others that we know our listeners have been wondering about. Big Foot may or may not have walked by the distillery during this interview, we can't say for sure. One thing's for sure, though: Breckenridge is a craft distillery doing some great things and worth your time to check out!

The 22nd episode of the Bourbon & Banter podcast – Kentucky Fried Bourbon - is now available for your listening and drinking pleasure. Pops and Bob ring in 2022 in trademark fashion, not only bringing you the best bourbon podcast anywhere but making a plea for replenishing their Christmas Tree Cake stock. We feature a great thread from our community forum, taking issue with a recent Jefferson’s Ocean ad that claims it’s “aged at the mercy of the sea.” I’m sure you can guess where that conversation went.

The 21st episode of the Bourbon & Banter podcast – Storytime with Dan Gardner - is now available for your listening and drinking pleasure. The Bourbon & Banter team celebrated our 10th anniversary earlier this year, and we let the mics roll a few times. This episode brings some of those conversations together, which were all done safely and socially distanced once our team was fully vaccinated. Pops and Bob welcome senior contributors Jim Knudsen and Thomas Fondano for an impromptu blind tasting and some insider info on a few things that you’ll only hear on this podcast. We also make another dive into our ongoing crusade against celebrity bourbon. This segment replaces our standard Bourbon Bullshit segment.
We then transition to our main focus for this episode, a candid conversation with one of the most respected people in the bourbon industry, Dan Gardner, the legendary sales manager and brand ambassador for Four Roses. Some of you may have met him at a tasting event or whiskey festival, and some may have been lucky enough to snag a bottle of our first Four Roses Private Barrel selection, dubbed “The Constant Gardner” in tribute to Dan.

The 20th episode of the Bourbon & Banter podcast – This Little Piggy Drank Some Bourbon - is now available for your listening and drinking pleasure. Pops and Bob step away from the pumpkin pie, the pecan pie, the apple pie, the cherry…well, all the pies just long enough to deliver the most honest podcast in all of bourbon. We give you an update on our single barrel club and our community thread of the month focuses on the continued ridiculousness of fathers-to-be wanting to coordinate their child’s birth with Blanton’s dump dates. We can’t make this stuff up folks.

The Bourbon & Banter podcast is no stranger to craft distilleries, although many of them wish we were…. Our craft shoot segment has become a favorite of listeners, but not necessarily of distilleries. So when we say there’s a craft operation to keep an eye on you know we’re on to something. Enter KO Distilling. The Manassas, VA, distillery has come a long way in the six years they’ve been in operation. Lifelong friends Bill Karlson and John O’Mara (the K and O in KO Distilling) have built a fantastic distillery, focusing on locally sourced ingredients, high-quality production methods, and a passion that they love to share with their local community.
