2020 Sour Mash Sixteen - Round One (Part 1)

Andy and Dillon are joined by longtime friend of the ‘cast Quincy Kendall from Chicago to unveil the 2020 bracket. We are all in isolation and in mourning at the loss of the real March Madness, so we are making the best of it by pitting our favorite bourbons (and ryes) from the past year against each other in blind tasting matchups. In this episode, we release the field that will be whittled down over the next couple of weeks via blind tastings. Tune in and follow along!

2020 Sour Mash Sixteen Selection Show

You've missed us. Probably gave up the hope that there would ever be another episode again. But here we are, back with more A+ content for our dozens of listeners. Dillon joins Andy & Danielle from across town via Skype as we sip Larceny Barrel Proof and Old Grandad 114 while discussing everything from the latest news in bourbon tourism, to Dillon's upcoming bachelor party weekend, to the spreading pandemic that might bring down society. Its a barrel (pun intended) of laughs! Give it a listen.

Episode 26 - Bobbers or Buoys?

The gang is back for one last spin before the holidays to put a bow on 2019. Tune in to listen to us compare the new Single Barrel Bakers to the old Small Batch Bourbon, while also touching on work holiday lunches, Pappy lotteries, Christmas movies, and a lot more. I promise it will at least as entertaining as the other podcast you're considering listening to. 

Episode 25 - Loose Skittles

After a 2+ month break, we are back in studio (kitchen) to spin gold for the masses (dozens). We sip on some 2017 William LaRue Weller while listening to Dillon spit knowledge he gained during his whisky-centric trip to Ireland and Scotland, upcoming New Year's resolutions, our largest-scale tour and tasting yet, and various other nonsense sprinkled in between. Also you'll get to hear us gracefully work through some technical difficulties. Give us a break! It’s been a long hiatus and we’re knocking off the rust.

Episode 23 - Back in the Saddle

Sticking to our summer podcast schedule of one a month, the Sour Mash Tours team gets back together to spin gold and give our handful of fans the new content they demand and deserve. We sip on Eight&Sand Blended Bourbon from MGP and talk about a busy stretch of tours, the railroad, Dillon and Kate’s stock the bar party and a whole lot of other nonsense in between. Listen up!

Episode 23 - Thwarted Plans

The extreme heat has broken and the gang is all back after a month-long break to spin some gold for our dozens of fans. We kick things off by sipping on and talking about the new Peerless Bourbon release, but then a discussion about some recent concert outings turns into a spirited debate about Skyline Chili. From there, we recap some of our recent Sour Mash Tours events and the exciting things we have coming up. Overall, its a better-than-average way to spend a half hour. Tune in!

Episode 22 - Cincinnati Mystery Soup

We’re Back! Danielle, Dillon, and Andy are reunited after more than a month without spinning as a group to sip on the Cali Gold bourbon blend while talking about the temporary shutdown of the Bourbon Secondary Market, Facebook spying on our conversations, Dillon’s crazy plane ride from Hilton Head, a bourbon-filled wedding weekend in Chicago and much more. Give us a listen, subscribe, rate us, and tell a friend. Even two of those four actions would be greatly appreciated.

Episode 21 - That's a Human Foot!

Andy sits down with Matt Guyer and Jason Ridenour from the Central Kentucky Spirits Society to drink all sorts of good stuff from Venezuelan and Guatemalan rums, to real Kentucky Moonshine, to a semi-dusty Wild Turkey and Four Roses 130th. It's quite the lineup. Oh yeah, the topic of the hour is the Bourbon on the Banks Festival in Frankfort from August 22-24. Give the podcast a listen and grab some tickets at www.bourbononthebanks.org before they sell out.

Bourbon on the Banks Interview

Andy and Dillon take the reins of the ‘cast while Danielle is out and about. Listen as the gentlemen of Sour Mash Tours sip the “BSM Dumpster Fire” Russell’s Reserve Single Barrel and talk about Dillon navigating Jazz Fest on a knee scooter, run-ins with TSA officials, Andy’s visit to Wild Turkey for a memorable barrel selection, and reflections on the 20-episode milestone. “Dumpster Fire” was an apt choice of bourbon because this one gets off the rails a bit over the first 14 minutes, as the conversation veers toward conspiracy theories and former WWF Superstar, Val Venus. Give it a listen!

Episode 20 - Kickin' Chicken

The gang is all here for a return to the normal Sour Mash Podcast format. Listen as we sip on the new Four Roses Small Batch Select while lamenting Dillon’s weekend injury, talking about childhood shoes, and recanting tales from Danielle and Andy’s marathon wedding weekend in Texas.
