From the heartwarming stories of Randy Sullivan's dedication to suicide prevention to the group's support for children with learning disabilities, this episode shines a light on the deeper connections that bourbon fosters. We also discuss the buzz around the upcoming Kentucky Bourbon Festival and invite you to join the conversation on our social media platforms.
Get ready to be inspired by industry icons like Brent Elliott of Four Roses and Gregg Snyder of Chicken Cock Whiskey.

Plus, we'll share our experience at Brad Bond's new shop in Elizabethtown and a tasting of the rich and complex Booker's Cheers Nash 2020-2021.

Uh, that that Thursday night, bourbon on the Banks kicks us off. And then your Friday, saturday, sunday.

Uh, that's cool and uh, just know that this is tonight's podcast is just about everybody, even the people uh on youtube. Uh, if you're drinking something, let us know what you're drinking. Uh, maybe drink, maybe I'll drink along with you. Have a couple sips of what you're sipping on. I want to do that because this is part of what this podcast is about friendship.
Speaker 1:But remember we are on all of the social medias Facebook, instagram, youtube and X. Check us out there right now. It's obvious if you're watching us on YouTube or Facebook, you're already checking us out, and then also on all the major podcast formats, which would be Spotify, apple, iheart and Pandora, amazon. If you're listening to a podcast and you have something special that you like to listen on, we're on it. Just search the Scotchy Bourbon Boys.
Speaker 1:But please I'm going to ask Jamie and Walker, please. I need a good review on Apple. My Apple sits at. It's just like it needs a bump and we need new reviews. So I am asking you specifically this week to go to the Apple or iHeart, write a review and give me five stars. That's just it. I mean, I know you guys love me and everything, so I think I deserve five stars.
Speaker 1:But 1792, small batch, jamie. I might break it to some 1792 because Ross is going to be. You know he's one of them. You know we're talking. We're going to talk about how we get to meet the different people in the industry and how cool they are, and that's one of the things that I love about bourbon. So bourbon and friendship. There's all the different ways that bourbon. There's all the different ways that bourbon. That's just bizarre. Some of the comments that come on YouTube I'm just reading away bourbon goes good with roasted bone marrow. I have not ever had roasted bone marrow, so there we go, um, but let's just keep going.
Speaker 1:Uh, the thing about bourbon and when it comes to more than what the bourbon people, the people who make it, the people who serve it, the people who sell it, the people who buy it, the people who collect it, the people who drink it and the people who organize and set things up for you it's just an amazing culture. The bourbon boom, in my opinion, where they fell short in the 70s, when they kind of thing where what they did with bourbon now making it a collectible thing that people have huge bourbon collections. They love the taste, the different ways it's made. There are over 2000 distilleries in the United States making whiskey, so that just tells you how big this is and how many people are involved. But it's like one of the reasons why I love uh and got into this is because it's just what would you say is such a social, family orientated hobby or experience, and what I mean by that is that before I was drinking, before I started drinking bourbon and collecting bourbon in 2000, I think it was 2018, when I started to do it serious, I had a couple friends. I had a group of people that, because of bourbon, got together and we formed the Scotchy Bourbon Boys. It was some people from work, my friends from around the neighborhood, some people from work, my friends from around the neighborhood and then eventually people from outside that came and we got together and had meetings and started this great group of people. Now I would say that when I started this I had two, three really good friends and then probably four or five friends and since I started this I probably have 12 really good friends and probably 20, 25 good friends. I mean, it has enhanced my life to the point that it gives me so much.
Speaker 1:What would you say? Friendship, love. It's just that's the part of whiskey and bourbon collecting and getting to know people and talk about it. It just can take up your time. You have to keep it in perspective. It's alcohol. With the podcast I've met so many different people and there's so much what would you say? There's so much friendship within the industry. So I'll just go through the podcast.
Speaker 1:We've got CT Barrelhead, we've got Super Nash, myself Whiskey. These are five guys and then roxy, my wife. She basically wasn't even into whiskey and then when we got into this, she basically learned to love bourbon, and it's just, she liked wine and we did, but she liked the culture and the friendship that existed. Uh, so you know, and then, uh, we've got super n Nash's new wife, sherry, and we've got CT's significant other, rachel. We all go and do things together. We go to festivals, we travel, stay with each other and when we go and we're doing some podcasts on the road or whatever, it's just a really, really fun time. We're going to different places, places, we're meeting the people who make the bourbon, we're meeting the people who promote the bourbon. We're we're getting um samples of bourbon to taste and it's just a fantastic, fantastic community. Uh, you meet other podcasters.
Speaker 1:Uh, we went to this this past, uh, spring. We were up matt, ct, jamie. We all went up to uh, uh northern, uh north of here in ohio, uh, mance, in in, uh, mansfield, where the prison, where the prison is the mansfield state penentiary, ohio State Penitentiary, and that's where Shawshank Redemption was. But we had a group meeting where Randy Sullivan excuse me, a bourbon real talk came and it was the same thing. Randy is such a great guy and we did a bottle share and everybody got together and we were tasting different bourbons and Randy talked about how his promotion of the charity that he finds dear in his heart, based off of a suicide prevention awareness charity and you know, we, as the Scotchie Bourbon Boys, supported Open Bees, which did a bourbon raffle, and this is helping kids with learning disabilities.
Speaker 1:I mean, there's so much good to be done with bourbon and that's part of why that we're in this. You know, it's just kind of just a great, great experience with all the people who get life, in my opinion. Now I will tell you, when you're having a pour with somebody, it doesn't matter race, it doesn't matter religion, it doesn't matter your politics, it basically bridges everything. Uh, I've had pours, um, and you don't. You're not talking about the, the things in in uh, regular life that are stressful, because bourbon is about relaxing and, uh, enjoying and getting to know people, uh, not dealing with certain issues that are stressful and whatnot. So I found that it's just such a great community, as you know Jamie was saying. So you know, that's the one thing the community of the people who collect bourbon and we get together and promote it. One thing the community of the people who collect bourbon and we get together and promote it.
Speaker 1:Meeting other Michael James Hyatt helped me right off the bat. James Edwards of Dad's Drinking Bourbon helped me right off the bat. Start the podcast Encouraged me. We've met the people from I'm drawing a blank but other podcasts in Ohio. We love it Bourbon and Bullshit. You know we also have Mash and Drum. That was Jasonason. Oh, my god, I want to say kit foray, but I know what it is, but it's not that. But, um, jason does a really good job with mash and mash and drum.
Speaker 1:Got to meet, you get to meet people, um. And then there's the people in the industry, for instance, and dimmick, who started at wild turkey through campari, ended up at watershed. That's where I met her and now she's at ohlq. A fantastic person, a friend um, who loves whiskey, promoting whiskey. Yeah, jason, calore. Thanks, jamie, that's much better. Uh. And then you know Walker, jamie. I met Walker. Walker is, you know, one of the. You know he's part of the industry and he shares whiskey and bourbon and he finds it and Walker's just great. Jamie, the same thing. I'm so glad I met you guys. Matt.
Speaker 1:We've had a lot of times we do it looks like we're going to be hanging out on St Patrick's Day consistently. I'm hoping you know that'll be our day, but got to have you on coming up. You know, maybe we'll do a podcast, a co-podcast from since you're coming down to the festival and the bus tour. We could do one right from our Airbnb down there. So that's something you know. But it's like the people that you meet. But then you go to the distilleries and you meet the people in the distilleries. You get to know them.
Speaker 1:Sandy Ngo is Fred Ngo's wife and Freddie's mom. We've gotten to know her, and then Fred and Freddie, also not as much as Sandy, but got to know the Nos and do all the fun stuff and this is all fantastic. Plus, you've got Stacey Pritchard. You've got Randy Press, who's now just a super close great friend. We grew up in the same area. You find people that you would never ever have thought that you'd be talking to, but I mean, when Randy initially became the president from the Kentucky Bourbon Festival, that was right after I had gone in 2019. He took over as the new president. And then David Mandel I mean super great people. David Mandel was very much involved with the Bardstown Bourbon Company and then also he was involved with Stoli and Kentucky Owl and now he's involved with Whiskey House of Kentucky. You wouldn't know that this man. He's a giant in the industry and he's been part of the guild. He's been part of the board for Kentucky Bourbon Festival. He's just a great guy.
Speaker 1:I mean, we are talking about learning, meeting people in the industry. You know, when you met Sandy, fred and Freddie you're talking about the eighth, seventh and eighth generation Jim Beam distillers. We're talking about history right here. We're talking about, you know, meeting them. Got to meet Jaretta and Jimmy Russell and then they came out of Greg Schneider. He has been such a great friend of the of the podcast, ross Cornelison jumps in here.
Speaker 1:We are just talking about lifetime friends that are just such great people within the industry, people that are real. When you have, you're not, it's not just an acquaintance, it's you. You break bread with them, you eat at their, you know, buy, you know they come see you. Greg Schneider came up to Ohio, had dinner with me and my wife, along with one of the sales reps from Chicken Cock and also one of the distributors from Ohio Chicken cock and also one of the distributors from Ohio. They came here and had spidinis with us and then drank Booker's rye and had a, had a pour of that and then went off and did a tasting. And then I've been at Greg's house. She's got every single form of chicken cock in his house and shared and saw his turkeys, and that You're just talking about such a great experience.
Speaker 1:It's amazing. It really is. It's really amazing what bourbon in the culture is Now. There are so many critics. When you're out there, they'll talk about that. You're an alcoholic and alcohol is bad for you. The people in this industry that we are dealing with keep.
Speaker 1:This is about relaxation and friendship. The bourbon is something that brings us all together and the whiskeys bring us together, but we're not. It's not about overindulging. It's about having a good time, having a few pours, drinking responsibly, making sure people don't drink and drive. Yes, every once in a while, when you know when we're doing the kentucky bourbon festival or it's your birthday or something, you might have a little bit too much, but for the most part, when you're talking about the, the bourbon industry as a whole, it's just like it's amazing that randy press he could put on the kentucky bourbon industry as a whole. It's just like it's amazing that Randy press he could put on the Kentucky bourbon festival with 6,500 people in a festival and have no problems, and they're all drinking whiskey and have no problems, uh, afterwards, with disorderly conduct or anything bad happening.
Speaker 1:Uh, you got people looking out for the people. You know the people that you're with you look out for them. They're your brothers and everybody, you know everybody kind of does that. Now I haven't even had anything. I'm going to pop open this Green River.
Speaker 1:Green River is made by Aaron Harris harris. Uh, this one's called cherry jubilee. He sent that to me. This is a signed bottle by him. You can see that aaron has signed my bottle. Um, set this up. It's. You know it's usually signed bottles. I don't finished, but this is, uh, so much cherry it's crazy. And when I first was tasting this.
Speaker 1:Now I will tell you one thing, guys, uh, what's been kind of cool is that? Uh, I really love this one. Um, let's see walk, says all my bourbon friends find ways to share and make each other smile. We don't have to agree on everything, we just have to open up and enjoy the adventure. I agree, and you know it's just. You know it's kind of like the Scotchy Bourbon Boys have formed a group and everybody who's listening tonight. You can check us out on Facebook or YouTube.

But that event I got to. We got to meet Fred Minnick, hang out with Fred a little bit beyond what he was doing through the events and I hadn't ever met Fred before. But we got to and now he knows.

Bourbon Rare finds 3.0. It's a scam, you're scamming people and it's just a joke. It's a scam, you're scamming people and it's just a joke. Um, that is one one thing that, um, bourbon people are kind and I really think they're trusting, so, but I'm not. I can guarantee you I am not kind and trusting when it comes to scammers. Uh, if I don't know you, I'm not trading with you, I'm not buying from you, I'm not doing doing anything. I got to know you personally and it's just a trade of goods and services amongst friends. So you know, that's just the way it should go.
Speaker 1:So, captain, geez, I just don't understand. You know even the podcast on YouTube Captain Usaino loveino love math, love math. It's just like, okay, you're just a weirdo anyways. So it's like you gotta put up with what goes on in on the internet and take it all and with a grain of salt, but for the most part, uh, especially when you're live. But you know what. If this is what starts to happen when we're live, I'm kind of cool with it.
Speaker 1:So, um, didn't. Has nash joined us? Is he living? Is? Has he been? Uh, I was hoping to. Uh, I don't know. It's just like I didn't see.

Speaker 1:The whiskey is the glue, but the friendship is the value. This is the substance. The people you meet. You know you don't meet a lot of people who drink bourbon and whiskey. For the most part that we're meeting in this particular culture and and as Jamie put it community. These people are fantastic.
Speaker 1:Yeah, walker says Royce and Rebecca Neely from the Neely family. Royce and Rebecca have been just nothing but great to us. What else? Let's see where else. I'm just I know I'm forgetting, I'm forgetting something.

Last year we did, um, my old, my old Kentucky home after bourbon in the air, we got in our tuxes and went over to a 1920s speake, you know, perspective to to go out and just have fun doing different things. Uh, there's so many, you know you could go to a local distillery, um, run by some kids, minglewood, and see how they're doing it. And you don't. You're not getting dressed up, you're going there, you hang out, you get a tour, or you could go to, here in Ohio, middle West Spirits, which is what Ryan is doing. Ryan, he has, it's just what he has done here in Ohio.
Speaker 1:I can't wait. I just keep seeing it progress. But the distillery's built. But you're talking about restaurant. He's building a city with restaurants. The same thing, um, francesco, uh, with luca mariano, they, they intend to build a village chocolate shop. Um, you know, rick houses tours, you know the whole nine yards as it keeps going forward. So these are really cool things. Who mentioned earlier? Yeah, ross.
Speaker 1:Cornelison who you mentioned earlier in the stream. Yes, ross was a great. Last year we met him and just had a great time and he has chimed in on the podcast, talked about stuff. You know Aaron Harris from Green River. I mean you just can't, you just can't, I don't know, it's amazing, you can't put. You know Aaron Harris, we met at Watershed and he showed us everything he was doing. Came from Barton's and he's just such a down home great person. And you know oh yeah, freddie Johnson, who just came up to Ohio, got to spend some time with him here in Ohio. Ohio got to spend some time with him here in Ohio. It's just you know him and promoting his family business which is Buffalo Trace Distillery or you know which is Sazerac. But these are big corporations in some cases. You know, when you're talking about Jim Beam, we just started to hang out a little bit with the Samuels through Stephen Fonte and Stephen Beam at Limestone Branch. Stephen Fonte is fantastic If you ever want to smoke a cigar with the great guy, but he had us to his house and we podcasted in his backyard. I mean, we just spent an evening with Stephen and just relaxing, smoking cigars, drinking some great bourbon.
Speaker 1:Friendship is what this is about. You know this. You know sharing a pour with somebody, and you know one of the people that talk about this the most is Freddie Johnson. When you meet Freddie Johnson, this is what he says, this is what bourbon is to him, and he gets it. So we get it, and that's one of the things that everybody you know. Just you should just get it. No, I mean, what more you know when it comes to this? What more is it? So I did the Green River.
Speaker 1:So, walker, you called and Jamie, you were having you. You had some 1792. I'm going to pull some sweet wheat. Anybody got sweet wheat. I'll grab some sweet wheat. Let's see there, it is all right, grabbing the sweet wheat. Matt, what are you on right now? You got the sweet wheat right now. All right, I've got the sweet wheat too. There we go. Matt Lyons says that's my daily Sweet wheat. Is your daily go-to format. Is that what you're telling me? Tell me. You're not telling me that Because Sukharani is commenting.
Speaker 1:We got a message held for reviews. You know, that's what you get when you get holy crap. Tonight we are hot on youtube. I'm. I'm gonna say we got. I. I've never seen it this hot. So, um, it's so easy to drink and cut videos with um first wood for first world problems. Oh, anyways. Uh, matt says you remember St Patrick's day? Yeah, I do.
Speaker 1:Um, sweet wheat, though how do you get enough sweet wheat to make that your go-to? I mean, I, I can't make this my go-to. I wish it would be my go-to. I enjoy that, ross, doesn't Ross? I just found that since Ross Suricont Tripathi, I've got to look up what he's saying because I don't understand he's, he's, it's, it's some form of Oriental type language. I don't know what it is. It could be Chinese, it could be, it could be he could. It also could be Hebrew, it could be Arabic. It could be Hebrew, it could be Arabic, I can't tell, maybe it's. I have no idea. So I'll look up his comments when we're finished.
Speaker 1:I traded reds for it on the bourbon pages, so you tell me that Weller 107 gets you sweet wheat all the time. That's kind of cool. Let's see. Sweet wheat I do enjoy. It's a very, very brown sugar nut, kind of not peanut but more like chest, chestnut pecan. I enjoy that.
Speaker 1:Um, if you want to talk about you know just a little bit about the bourbon my go-to is double oaks or wheats. I do enjoy, enjoy those. So, anyways, um, fantastic, uh, pour. So that's what Jamie was drinking 1792. And, uh, matt was drinking green river. So, walker, you got to come up with what I'm going to. Uh, that that's the last pour I'm going to have before we get. He said pecan, burnt brown sugar with the light tobacco finish.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so, walker, you let's take us home on this one. Tell us what you want to drink. I kind of deep down know what you want, where you want to go, because I'm think about I'm just thinking about bourbons and friendship and that type of thing. What's your top friendship bourbon, I mean, when friends come over, what do you like to drink? What's your go-to with your friends? And I'm asking all of you that, walker, a Knob Creek store pick single barrel. I can do that store pick single barrel. I can do that. I wish I could. It's like wish. I only have two Scotchy Bourbon Boys first pick single barrels left. But you want to do a Knob Creek store pick? All right, I got that. They're all not open, all right, here there's a 12. Here we go. That's a knob creek 12 too. I got my two 12s there. Let's see, getting it out is the hard part. All right, so we're gonna do this what's that?
Speaker 1:I've got my my knob creek nine year that I picked up and bottled my own. That uh, sandy, no, was on the bus trip, so. So that was kind of cool. We picked her up. All right, here we go. This is a 120. I'm pulling it out. I don't want to knock anything off. Hold on, let's get it out. That's not knocking. There we go. I didn't knock anything, knock anything off. Well, this is what we're gonna have.
Speaker 1:The emporium brew pub ah, that's a good one. I was able to pick that up, believe it or not. The Emporium Brew Pub I picked up in Wisconsin. I was with, we were at a place that was a restaurant that was in a mall, southridge Mall and I was watching the Bucs play in the playoffs a couple years ago Not the year they won, but the year before they won and I was there at at the restaurant and they told me that the restaurant had gone down and done a knob creek pick, and so I tried it and I liked it. So there we go, this is it. It is the the Emporium Brew Club 120. All those picks are 120. And here we go, I'm going to do a knob creak. Push that baby in there.
Speaker 1:So let's just finish talking about friendship. You know, ooh, that maker's Mark. To the other question, that's my go-to with friends. You know, walker, I was going to say that you were going to pull out Maker's Mark and that's your go-to, but then you pulled the Knob Creek, so that's why I went that way. So I appreciate it. So cheers, matt.
Speaker 1:Here's the to the 12 year. Mine's total wine, two sugar cookies, oh wow, let's see what this is. Holy crap, holy crap. I would call this a butterscotch bourbon hard candy. It's got the the. It's got butterscotch mixed. Oh, my god, that was crazy. That's actually good pick, so that's a lot of fun. What I will say is so let's go.
Speaker 1:Now there's your bourbon groups and your clubs. You got to join a bourbon group or club, preferably join the Scotchy Bourbon Boys, but locally you got to be a part of a club because if you join the club and now I have been when it comes to it, because first I broke my wrist, that was a month and a half, and then I had my wisdom teeth pulled and that's another half a month so for two months I haven't been in the bourbon lines on saturday. I just haven't been feeling good enough to go do all those things. I've been pushing to make sure that I do this podcast. That's what I pushed through. I made sure I didn't miss that and I wanted to keep doing the podcast. But I'm going to be getting back into bourbon lines.
Speaker 1:Bourbon lines People are always like we got to wait in line. That's just so. I don't, I'm not waiting in line. I'm never going to wait in line. That's just so. I don't, I'm not waiting in line, I'm never gonna wait in line. And you hear that, hear this throughout all the bourbon groups. It's like there's no bourbon worth waiting in line. But what they don't understand is the line isn't about waiting in line. It's about seeing people that you see once a week in in line. They become your friends, uh, and it's a great way to get into bourbon locally. It's a great way for them. So you know I like to produce and we are going to be doing.
Speaker 1:I got to get a bourbon bottle share hooked up and our Scotchy Bourbon Boys Christmas party, so hopefully you guys can come back up for that. You know, walker, you can make it. I mean, at that time I, you know, I had talked to you a lot. I hadn't quite met you last year, but now it's this year is going to be fantastic. We've got a lot of ideas for this year's uh bourbon christmas party. So, um, scotchy bourbon boys and I gotta have a meeting too. So I'm gonna get back into my game.
Speaker 1:Uh, it's august. We've got september coming up once again. Look forward to randy prassy's uh podcast on thursday. Uh, I'm getting close to you know. It's just kind of like the friendship between I mean, I didn't even remember mention amzy winning uh, diane strong and renee true, uh, they run bourbon on the banks that we're going to be at this year. Uh, super great people also, uh, and they're going to be on the podcast coming up. I'm working that out with amzy this week, uh, but we got randy coming on to promote the and tell you all about what kentucky bourbon festival is going to be this year.

Speaker 1:So, and then also, we are going down to New Riff for a podcast, friday, august 23rd. I will put that up on Facebook Live. It's going to be 11 o'clock. We're going to get there, so I would imagine right around 12, 1230,. We'll be going live on Facebook. I'll get that up there. We're going to be, you know, getting the tour and then talking to their new master distiller. It should be really good.
Speaker 1:You're talking about, oh, nash chimes in. Oh my God, it's just like he puts out night, you know.

Um, can I meet you at new rift? Yes, jamie, um, you can. Even if you want to help, it's uh, I've got to tell them how many people are coming, but I can make you part of the podcast for that. As far as helping me out setting up equipment, it's going to be me, andy, ct and you. Now, I know that Walker can't come till later, but, jamie, after the podcast, I'm booked. I think it's filled.

Hey, walker, you gotta call me tonight after this is over, because we gotta talk, because I don't believe and is coming down for that, and I have a room, so we could.
