And then we're also going to be talking about some of the bourbon experiences that are out there and what happens when you really get involved in either your community or in the whiskey culture in Indiana or Kentucky. I mean, it's just a whole playground out there for everybody.

Speaker 3:Barrel bottle breakdown of the about that a little second so I can go get my pad.
Speaker 1:No, yep of the new riff. Um, he's getting his pad, uh, but we'll get a little bit. You know, we'll do the new riff first because I know everybody when they get excited about this kind of thing and it goes on. New Riff is really kind of cool because it's right on the border of Ohio, right across the river Cincinnati, and it's in the Covington and Newport area, which is exactly where Remus was operating his offices to get all the whiskey or the bourbon out of Kentucky and into Ohio to send up to Chicago and New York, and that was the way to go. Now you could get it through Maysville but, remus, I went across the bridge, the famous bridge built in 18, I want to say 1887. I stopped off this Sunday on my way home to see Brad Bonds at Revival Vintage Spirits. Bonds at revival vintage spirits and, uh, brad was doing good and he is going to sponsor our fifth annual scotchy bourbon boys kentucky bourbon boys uh bus tour in september and the way he's going about it is he will be getting us some really, really cool, cool stuff for us to drink on the bus tour. Now this is a 28-person bus tour. It's two buses, 14 and 14.
Speaker 1:And I was talking today about all the stuff that's happening. I mean there's a chance. I don't know, but we might. Walter and the bus company and Sarah Evans are all working at getting the lunch at the Penn Dentist Club. We're going to basically stop off at Old Carter and see Christy and Mark at the Old Carter Social Club and then also we're going to be at the Evan Williams Experience. We're going to be at Whiskey Thief and we're confirming that be at Whiskey Thief and we're confirming that we are going to be at and this is what I'm talking about. We're going to be the Old Louisville Whiskey Company with Amin down there, and Amin and Whiskey Thief are our major sponsors. Amin does the Barrel Bottle Breakdown sponsorship and Whiskey Thief does one of our main sponsorships. So you've got two of our major sponsors.
Speaker 1:Now, middle West Spirits would have been hard to tie into a Kentucky because they're up in Columbus, and the Spirit of French Lick, also a sponsor of ours, and they are in French Lick, indiana. A little bit too far, but I think it's really going to be kind of cool, uh, but that experience, but that leads us in, it's going to be awesome, yeah, so so let's just talk about the experiences that we're, you know we've set up a bourbon, uh, a bourbon bus tour and we've done it now five years. It's gotten big. We know we've set up a bourbon bus tour and we've done it now five years. It's gotten big. We've met so many different people.
Speaker 1:But this year I'm really excited because the excitement before Kentucky Bourbon Festival is going to be off the charts and I think this bourbon, this bus tour, I think, is going to be off the charts. Urban, this bus tour, I think, is going to be off the charts. I think it's going to be probably the best tour that we've ever done from a standpoint of the amount of people and how exciting it's going to be and where it's happening. And the pours we'll have to switch uh in in the in between if we're doing the, the pours that brad bonds is, uh, you know, supporting, and then also the you know, the bottles that are going to be available through, uh, old louisville and whiskey thief is just going to be crazy and we're going to be thieving barrels at whiskey thief. We'll be thieving barrels probably at old louisville. I mean, it's just going to be a unbelievable packed day and that's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3:Whiskey experience this is a whiskey experience that we made it's an experience like no other because we'll be going to three different distilleries, plus we'll be doing tastings on the bus in between the distilleries. Yeah, In my opinion, it's probably one of the best experiences out there. And if you ever get a chance and you haven't been on the bus tour if you get a chance in the future, I suggest you grab a ticket and jump on the bus. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:So it's been overall. It's just been spectacular the experiences. But let's take it, because Old Louisville Whiskey Company is going to be part of that bus tour and then they're going to be a part of sponsoring this Old Louisville Whiskey Company barrel bottle breakdown. So the way this is going to work, I don't think we have the same single barrels right. I've got one from 2021 that was distilled in 2016. I mean, we are talking about the beginning of new rift single barrel program.
Speaker 3:Have a 21 single barrel.
Speaker 1:Okay, we got two single barrels.
Speaker 3:What's your barrel number? Mine's 5259. Barrel.
Speaker 1:There's Jay Erisman's co-founder 167732.
Speaker 3:So I think they're close enough. I think that's what we should do is barrel bottle breakdown, the single barrel or let's see.
Speaker 1:I think I do have the straight bourbon whiskey well, I've got this single barrel which is from 2022 and it was the bourbon the distillers rose series and it was from 28 22 you got anyone. And this is 82 14 you got anything close to that 2022 what is that?
Speaker 3:a single barrel? No, I got the. I got the 21 single barrel, which is close to yours.
Speaker 1:Then the other one I got is the six-year malty dry whiskey, a single barrel you got.
Speaker 3:Uh, from when was it distilled? Barrel distilled on mine was distilled 8-29-2017. Mine was.
Speaker 1:February 5th 2016.
Speaker 3:Yours is a five-year right. You said it was a 2021, bottled on in 21? Yeah, and now this is the still. You said it was a 2021 bottled on N21?
Speaker 1:Yeah, and now this is the still. Actually, I'll do this one, because this is the group. Let's see Four Colonels. He's got the Four Colonels that he's going to be coming out with. They're trying to do their own brand, but this is the Still Valley Bourbon Association who we're going to be doing the tasting with, and this is their barrel, and they picked it. It was bottled 6-15-2022. And it was February 5th 2018.
Speaker 3:So, now that we know what we got, right, this other single barrel I got is one that CT gave me and it was uh bottled on april 23 and it is freaking fantastic.
Speaker 1:I've got the malted rye sherry finished barrel proof. Whiskey, too, the one, and it's barrel proof. I mean, okay, we're gonna go with bourbons. So what do you think I should go? What do we? Let's do the the ones that we got that was bottled in 2021. Those are the closest. No, we should do our newest ones because, honestly, the 2021, I really feel that that new riff was getting their their legs under them, and these were this is a 16 to 21, which is a five-year, and this is an 18 to 22.
Speaker 3:Okay, that's a four-year, my other one, the one that CT gave me. It's a four-year and I already know it's delicious.
Speaker 1:I have to pick.
Speaker 3:Okay, so you do the seed, I'll do the newest one. The newest I got is April 23.
Speaker 1:I got 6-15-20-22, 6-29-22. All right, I'll do the.
Speaker 3:Hey, like Matt said, just pick one, let's do it.
Speaker 1:Okay, you do yours and I'm going to do this single barrel from Kentucky Bourbon Festival, all right. Oh, this is really good mixed with the 15 year, all right. So the barrel bottle, the Old Louisville barrel bottle breakdown. Let's talk about Amin a little bit. Amin is down there at the Old Louisville Whiskey Company. Just was talking to him today. He has that great experience where you walk in you see his awesome gift shop and then he's got an awesome side what would you say? Comfortable room, waiting room for when you're waiting to go back to see what he's got in those barrels. And Amin's experience is one of very unique because he has so many barrels of so many different ages. He basically knows whiskey and bourbon. He finishes them in really unique ways or he buys them and lets them age. He's longer and longer in his warehouse and he's just doing a spectacular job. The the experience is unlike any other, right?
Speaker 1:so I agree, you got just a barrel pick every time you go yep, and you gotta pick, you gotta see and go visit a mean at the old louisville whiskey Company in Louisville Kentucky.
Speaker 3:Another thing about that, too, is, like all his barrels are seven years old and older.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he's similar to what Mark Carter likes to do. Mark Carter doesn't like to. You know, he doesn't like to get anything younger than that. So did you get it All right? So I'm going to pour the. So the Old Louisville Whiskey Company's Barrel Bottle Breakdown Scale is based off of the aroma, the taste, the body and the finish. We can give up to four bangs with our Four knocks. Four knocks, four knocks with our Better than the body With our wooden knocker.
Speaker 3:And on the taste and the finish, you can give it up to five knocks. Yes, and if one of the categories is really exceptional. You can actually give it a ba-dum-bum A ba-dum-bum, that's what I said. What did you hear?
Speaker 1:I want to know if you heard me hit. I want to know if you heard me hit I want to know if you heard it.
Speaker 3:No, no.
Speaker 1:I have to have like a glockish spiel or something. Do you know what I should do? I should bring out? Do you think I should bring out the old barrel? See if that plays into anything.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I got it right over here, although there might be a brown recluse.
Speaker 3:Stay away from that.
Speaker 1:There was one crawling on our. I'm looking in.
Speaker 2:There was one crawling on our.
Speaker 1:There was a spider crawling on my thing. I killed it and it was. I was like ooh, wonderful, good thing you got it. Do you see it? Can you see it? I see it. See, if you hear this, now hit it no no, not, no, no no.
Speaker 3:Nothing. I heard the very first little tap right there on that Okay so One. I heard that first tap Two. Just count them off like you usually do One, two, three, four.
Speaker 1:All right, let's see I'll roll it one of these way.
Speaker 3:I gotta need to put the mic right inside of it you're right.
Speaker 1:Let's see what happens when I do that. Okay, see, it should be the blue one.
Speaker 3:It says Okay.
Speaker 1:Let's see if I put it in there. It's in there.
Speaker 2:I don't get it?
Speaker 1:How about if I put the mic on top? How about this?
Speaker 3:Nope, let's get on to writing. Yep, we always try.
Speaker 1:I always try something different.
Speaker 3:Let's go all right so I'm gonna pour it in. Let's go first all right.
Speaker 1:This one is a single barrel from distiller row. Distiller Row, which was 19,. The 2022 pick for the Kentucky Bourbon Festival at New Riff. Now, I was on this pick with Randy, so I was able to. This pick was a pick that I did with the Kentucky Bourbon Festival. I was on both picks in 2022 and 2023. So in the 2023 one, I got that bottle, I decantered it and I drank it probably in a week. That's how good it was.
Speaker 3:So uh, what year was your distiller row from?
Speaker 1:It was 2022.
Speaker 2:All right.
Speaker 3:I'm just putting it up above your name here, so we'll know what we're rating. Now that it's been sitting. I'm going to let you go first on yours on the nose.
Speaker 1:The caramel on this is fantastic. Let's see what they say on this bottle bourbon bubble gum and cinnamon, along with red apple and leather. Now I got caramel because it's been sitting, but I do get a little bit of the bubble gum Like hubba bubba bubble, double bubble gum Kind that you used to like eat like four pieces and you'd get it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I like hubba bubba.
Speaker 1:All right, we'll go put this back on, all right, so this is everything that I would want. So noses are me. They're not as important, but if it's a really, really good nose, I mean it does gain importance. But sometimes you get a nose that's just nothing. But the flavor is good, but in this case this is a really really, really, really. Yeah, I know that on YouTube it picks it up. The YouTube is with my. Yeah, the hammer works on YouTube and let's see, All right. So I am going to rate the nose out of four. I'm going to give it four barrel bottle knocks. Breakdown knocks One, two three, four, all right.
Speaker 3:What are you going to give it? On mine, I'm getting caramel and those little maple candies. You know, those little maple cream candies. Yes, great nose. Just a little bit of the ethanol.
Speaker 2:I'm going to have to give mine a three.
Speaker 3:A three, yeah. One, it's a great nose but it's not a really good nose. Two I'd like to be able to smell a little bit more out of it. Three, to smell a little bit more out of it. Three Mine says that the aroma is buttercream and maple. I'm getting that little bit of maple off of it. Excellent.
Speaker 1:There's a lot more caramel there too. Now, this one, this particular, the one thing, that new riff has, I mean um, if anybody wants to know about the brand, the brand's very unique um.
Speaker 1:It was the owner, jay erisman, and no, no, jay but the main owner of party source and, uh, maybe I know Jamie can do it the the his name is eluding me. I had it looked it up, it's gone. But uh, he owned party source and he wanted he was buying single barrels with Jay and they were doing all this stuff. And he was buying single barrels with Jay and they were doing all this stuff. And well, he decided that he wanted to build a distillery in the parking lot of Party Source in Newport, kentucky, which is the first exit right across the river. It's right over to the Party Source. You get off, you make a right Across the river from Cincinnati.
Speaker 1:Yep, and Ken Lewis was his name and he thank you, jamie. He opened and built the New Rift Distillery but at one point he had to sell the party source because you can't own a liquor store and own a distillery at the same time. So he sold it to his employees. Now the party source is owned by his employees and he started with jay co-founded the new riff. But initially, when they first started, they started by purchasing barrels to get them through their distilling.
Speaker 1:You know the waiting to get them to their distillate and then and that was the brand OKI and that stands for Ohio, kentucky and Indiana so they purchased barrels from Kentucky, indiana and Ohio, blended them and had their brand. Now, once they were ready, they stopped the OKI brand and started NuRiff, which the brand of OKI had such popularity. They were able to sell that brand off to two people who were very interested in keeping it going and they have that brand today. So that's very unique, which is still very successful. Now the thing is is, if you're in Ohio or you're coming down from Michigan or Ohio and you're coming down, it's right off a 70, you're on 71, you get off. You can stop at one of the largest liquor stores in the country and also at the New Rift Distillery. Pick up some, take a tour, pick up some single barrels. It's the greatest thing on your way down. Plus, it's part of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail now, so you can get that.
Speaker 3:Get your start Right, send it to Kentucky. We're right on the trail.
Speaker 1:So when we went and did the podcast with Brian Sprantz, who has just been hired as their master distiller, distiller and he's always been part of.
Speaker 1:He's been a. It just keeps getting better and better. It's a great experience. On your way down, they just opened their new tasting room and bar. Um, they've been changing. You know the experience as you go. We've had, I've done, multiple barrel picks there and I've had multiple tours for the Scotchy Bourbon Boys. So great experience. Highly suggest it. So there it is on our experiences. I mean when you stop there you get the tour. Plus they've got the bar up there with all the different flavors and drinks and everything. So you're up on body on body.
Speaker 3:This has got a great body to it. Let me see the proof on this thing. This is a 115 proof and that's why it's got such a great body to it.
Speaker 1:Mine's 115.5. We're right there, close no 105.5. There you go, so you're 10 points over.
Speaker 3:You're about 10 proof off or 9.5 off.
Speaker 1:The legs are a little thin. In the glass they go to like drips mine are really thick.
Speaker 3:There's a lot. You can tell there's a lot of sugar in there. Look how thick that is in the glass, but it's. It's hitting all the sides the front and the back. I think it's got a wonderful body to it, so I'm gonna have to give it a four so all right or knocks one two three or right?
Speaker 1:did you pick any of them up?
Speaker 3:no, I think we got the second one.
Speaker 1:Heard the second one did it have like a tink? Because I'm hitting the, I'm hitting the ring.
Speaker 3:Yeah, all right, like a tick okay.
Speaker 1:So, um, oh, matt's on, so here's matt. So I have to say something about this pick. This is the first pick I ever was on where the barrel that I wanted, that I thought was the best, was not the one everybody picked and one of the unique flavors of this particular pick. Now it's been open. I really think it picked up some nice stuff, because I taste a little bit of honey, but it was the bubblegum, cinnamon and red apple and leather. Well, now it picks some nice legs up in there.
Speaker 1:So this one doesn't quite do the cheeks for me, but it's a really good it's otherwise. It's full and I would have to say the body for this one is a three for me. One, two, three. There we go. So what you looking at? All right. So I go first on the taste. We can give up to five, right.
Speaker 1:So the reason why they picked this one for this is the one they picked super nash is because it was on flavor profile of new riff. You know what I'm saying. So it was on flavor profile. So that's why I was picking with a guy who absolutely loved New Riff. He was a. That was his whiskey. He was a New Riff fan and he really loved this bottle. And so of the crew which was me and Randy, we picked the other barrel, which was not, and Randy we picked the other barrel which was not. It was more of a Kentucky brown sugar caramel barrel, where this one has the flavors, the other flavors of bubble gum and red apple and leather, and so it was a three to two kind of thing, and of the five people, three picked this one and two me and randy, uh picked the other one. So I go on taste now. It's like right on exactly what our notes were huge bazooka bubblegum flavor that leads to the leathery but not too bitter finish. Oops, what was that?
Speaker 2:oh, we just uh come on, come on, come on back my internet just go out.
Speaker 1:Oh, oh, all right, it's trying to connect. My internet just went out. Let's see if I can do it. Trying to connect my internet just went out. Let's see if I can do it.

Speaker 3:I invited them in. Look what happens when we're sitting here talking and they're like just open it up. And I said, okay, we can jump off, jeff, if you need to finish it. Man.
Speaker 1:Why do you have to jump off? Just stay on. Oh that was, that was ridiculous. Lost the internet. Then, all of a sudden, for some reason, my stupid zoom wouldn't account. Then I got the. Then I'm getting, uh. I went upstairs and got the, uh, the, uh, you know the info on the password and then it's telling me it's the wrong password. So I reset my whole damn computer and now, here we are. So we never were off on YouTube, so where were we?
Speaker 3:Hey, we were, and which I finished mine up. You were just about to give your taste score.
Speaker 1:I was good, did I screw something up just now?
Speaker 3:Am I still there? You're there, there, there, all right. This is amazing.
Speaker 1:You were just about to give your taste score when you, when you, froze up yeah, that's a really good way to give 15 minutes of blank space on a podcast on. You know the it wasn't.
Speaker 3:It wasn't completely blank because, like I said, I went ahead and finished it. Uh, no, rating.
Speaker 1:So you weren't on the audio podcast, because I'm the one dead on the audio and on youtube it was just me with a blank screen of you up there, and you guys were having fun on facebook, I'll give you that. So our facebook people got a little bit of a bonus. Okay, all right. So now I'm gonna drink like a lot, I mean. So on the taste on this one, like I said, this one wasn't my favorite, but sitting in the bottle, once again, it just proves, um, as matt you will attest, it's like anything that sits for a while, it changes, doesn't? It definitely does. No, just a little thing, matt. If we got to get off youtube, well, nope, you could do that, but just don't talk about what you're about to do, because it's not on it. You can't pick it up, but we can't talk about it because on youtube it's a no-no. But I can't actually see it.
Speaker 1:I can't see your, your thing. I can see nash and john, all right, so the taste what kind of flavors are you getting out of that? Um, they were talking about. They were talking about bubble gum, but it's evolved into a strawberry twizzler. Oh wow, maybe it's just my endorphins that kicked in and changed my palate, trying to see. Yeah, it's a strawberry twizzizzler and the leather's gone away now. So taste out of five I will give it a round up from three and a half to four one, I don't know what you thought two all.
Speaker 3:All right, I'm going to tell you what I rated mine what did you rate yours?
Speaker 3:This has got so much flavor. It's got the maple and the vanilla and the caramel. I mean it is so sweet and it's really not hot for being 115 proof. It drinks like maybe 100 proof proof and I rated mine a five. Yeah, it's just one super two full of flavor. Three, four, five. Right there you go. Now we're down to the finish and, like I was talking about earlier, this finish on is great. I mean it's all the right places, not a real strong burning kentucky. I rated mine a 4 on the finish.
Speaker 1:Ok a 4 yep. 1, 2, 3, 4. Alright, I know people. Thank you everybody who stayed on on YouTube. I mean that's just crazy, the people who stayed on on YouTube. I mean that's just crazy, the people who stayed on on YouTube. I will rate it. Uh, the finish.
Speaker 3:Yours is a 105.5 proof right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think the finish is a little bit, so I give mine a three, three, one, two, three is a little bit so I give mine a three, three, one, two, three. It's medium finish but it's uh nothing. It's not anything special, but I think the strawberry on the taste and a little bit of that in the front palette it's uh dealing with. Uh, the front palette it was dealing with a little bit red apple which turns to a strawberry squizzler.
Speaker 1:No, red licorice, licorice yep and then it just doesn't finish with the pop. So what do we give? Uh, the new riff on these single barrels.
Speaker 3:You gave yours a rating of 14. I gave mine a rating of 16, which makes it 15.
Speaker 1:Well, the one bottle's a 14, one's a 16. Yes, it does, but we weren't doing the same bottles. But that's cool, yeah.
Speaker 3:I mean they were fairly close. Like I say, every single barrel has its own flavors and all Everybody knows that.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm, I'm going to hit this special bottle. Steel Valley Bourbon Associations.
Speaker 3:And didn't you have a Balboa, a new Riff Balboa.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I got the Balboa.
Speaker 3:I was talking about that earlier.
Speaker 2:I got the Balboa rye.
Speaker 1:I got the six-year malted rye and I got the Kentucky Straight malted rye whiskey with the sherry finish. So, you don't have a Balboa with the sherry finish.
Speaker 3:You don't have a Balboa. It's called New Rip Balboa.
Speaker 1:See it right here.
Speaker 3:No, oh yeah, that is it. Yeah, you got the Balboa Rye. Yeah, where did Matt go? This one's been going in and out like that, but he's still there, okay.
Speaker 1:Must be just signing back in, all right, so anyways so do you have any of the rise?
Speaker 3:I've got the. I've got a single barrel Right here.
Speaker 1:I don't think I've ever opened this Balboa rye right here. I don't think I've ever opened this Balboa rye. I would say I felt lucky to get it. I don't believe it's open, but what I really felt lucky to get and we were able to get when we were there and Jamie would know about that, let's see. Are we still on Facebook? Yeah, we're still on Facebook. Okay, hold on.
Speaker 3:And Jamie is talking about the Balboa. Rye is great.
Speaker 1:All right, I'm trying to see if I got Facebook anywhere.
Speaker 3:This is a Sour Mash Rye single barrel. Mashed rye Single barrel 111.4 proof.
Speaker 1:Let's just go to the Safari.
Speaker 2:Uh.
Speaker 1:Let's go to history. Welcome to Zoom. I don't know how to get to Facebook.
Speaker 4:Sorry guys, I was on the phone.
Speaker 1:That's okay, so so.
Speaker 4:So do you have the Bell Ball Rye there, Jeff? Yeah, yes, I do. I thought you did Dude that bottle's solid.
Speaker 1:Yes, it is. It's so solid.
Speaker 3:I haven't opened it yet, opened it, but what I did get you know what Freddie Johnson says Whiskey was made for drinking. No, actually. Not for saving. No, no, no, no.
Speaker 1:You are wrong.
Speaker 3:No, no, no, no, no, freddie.
Speaker 1:Johnson and everybody else says bourbon is for drinking, and that is a rye.
Speaker 3:You know what I think? You're scared to open that rye and taste it.
Speaker 1:But I'm not. So I got Matt. I was able to get the sherry cask spinach one, a malted six year.
Speaker 4:So that was on our flight when me and Steve and Andrew were on our way down to you. Yeah, and that was my favorite of the flight. And the other one was winter wheat, and the third one was a gold label something. I think that's the sherry cask right. Look at that.
Speaker 3:Look at that. You just mentioned the sherry cask rye and the malted wheat. Both of those were on my flight when I was last there, that's when I picked up this single malt sour mash whiskey. This is delicious too, have you?
Speaker 4:had that? Honestly, I have not had that. I saw that in the gift shop but they didn't have that wasn't on one of the flights that I was picking it. I didn't know if I was allowed to switch stuff out, stuff out or not.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so what was the one called? It's called silver something. It's like their other malted like brand. I actually got a bottle of that someplace too, which was pretty good. But I agree, matt, this, this, this barrel proof, um, sherry finish, drinks like a bourbon, barrel-proof, like sherry finish.
Speaker 4:Yeah, that one's super solid. That was my favorite of the three or four I did. I was like this is great, but they didn't have any to buy, so I was kind of disappointed.
Speaker 3:They did have it when I was there and I wish I would have picked up a bottle of it. Well, they didn't have it when I was there and I wish I would have picked up a bottle of it, but uh, well, they didn't have it while we were there, but they had put two back, knowing that we were coming so me and jamie it's.
Speaker 1:Who else was with me? Someone else?
Speaker 4:I don't have the best things that I can pull stuff like that. They didn't, you know, they didn't ask me none of those.
Speaker 3:Well, we did the podcast and when we finished the podcast.
Speaker 1:Jay and bryant's were appreciative and they said that you can each buy one in the gift shop. I want to say jamie was there. I think jamie gotta ask jamie is check the facebook because jamie, I think, got it. I think got it. I think he got one. But then there was somebody else with us who scanned it. Oh, I remember it was he and Andrew. It was Andrew who picked one up. He basically, when I got mine and put it up there, he swiped his credit card before I was able to get mine out and then he got it. And then there was one left and I got it.
Speaker 3:I don't know so.
Speaker 4:I don't think I've ever tried those.
Speaker 1:Look at Randy's nice background right there. That's really nice, randy. It's like honey. We shrunk the fords.
Speaker 2:That's what we'll go with.
Speaker 1:He's in the grass with the dewdrops. Well, I'm working on it, it looks good, I'm not saying that, it just looks like.
Speaker 5:I'm afraid that the lawnmowers come you and I never saw secondhand lions.
Speaker 4:I miss the boxes behind you.
Speaker 1:I do not miss the boxes. You be quiet.
Speaker 4:Matt.
Speaker 1:We were talking about that. I mean, randy's got some stuff going and he brought up and I got like 800 samples to ship to everybody, but at the same time he really, really he's going to be our inter, randy's going to be our international uh, whiskey, uh consultant experts. Oh, what's that? Now he's international whiskey ambassador brand ambassador, it's detling, I know not detling. Come on, come up with the get a book's back there.
Speaker 5:That's the store pick that I did.
Speaker 1:that I opened today, no but you need to put your Pappy 15 or your Pappy 12 back there.
Speaker 5:How about if I just put my W Overy rare?
Speaker 2:There you go. That's fine too. There you go.
Speaker 5:We might have to drive out and join you for that one. Yeah, let me work on it. I've got to find out where I put it.
Speaker 1:So you gave me the sample of the Baccarat or whatever that Barack right Baccarat. Baccarat for Nash right, Barack Obama.
Speaker 5:Oh, you're awful.
Speaker 4:So how was that? By the way? Did you guys try it, or you just poured samples?
Speaker 1:I didn't just try it, man, I probably drank a third of his bottle.
Speaker 3:Holy cow.
Speaker 5:We gave the waiter some. The waiter at the restaurant Friday night works at. Kentucky Derby Says he works at the restaurant on the sixth floor and he said you know I've sold this. He said I've served this but I've never had it. He said at our restaurant, $600 a pour.
Speaker 3:I gave him a pour of it and he was over the moon for it yeah, that's why I'm really looking forward to it, because that's probably the only chance I'll ever get to have a sample of it.
Speaker 5:It's not the best stuff out there. If somebody offered me that what I paid for that bottle and a Lillian Sinclair, I would take my Lillian Sinclair Wow. But. I would also be able to get eight nine bottles of Lillian Sinclair for what I paid for that.
Speaker 3:And everybody watching. If you need a bottle of that, lillian Sinclair, your hookup is Tiny, or me or CT. We can all hook you up with a bottle of that, lillian Sinclair, because that's good stuff too.
Speaker 5:Well, tiny's got a life and it opens up more man. It's great, it really is.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, I know, well tiny and that opens up more man. It's great, it really is. Oh yeah, I know that you. You're so right, john that man, that when I first tasted it out of the bottle because that I didn't get to go on that pick but, then, like I say, I picked up a case of that in the case of the uh william doll.
Speaker 3:But uh, when I got back home and I tried it up there at the festival he's got a case of it when I got back home and I opened up the bottle and that first pour you know it was had that ethanol taste and all that. But then I let it sit for a couple of months before I went back to it. I was like, oh my God, the flavors just are popping and all that. But then I let it sit for a couple of months before I went back to it. Oh my god, the flavors just are popping and it's so good that French oak stave that he dropped down in it. It just adds a whole other dimension to it. I agree, jeff stopped at my house man last Labor.
Speaker 3:Day and Jeff, I still got about half that bottle and it's fantastic dude. Just the more air that gets to it, the better it is yeah, and I'm young too, but it's great.
Speaker 1:Thank you, john, for doing that, that tasting, so that was so it's good to go meet people on the road, for sure look at them with that baccarat background.
Speaker 5:Baccarat ground. Yeah, how do you say that? Baccarat background?
Speaker 1:I'm just going to tell you, randy, if you're really sitting, if you're that little and you've got that much of a supply behind you, holy man, yeah, we're all driving down to get some.
Speaker 3:Absolutely. I'm bringing a barrel.
Speaker 4:I've got three of them.
Speaker 1:There you go, shrink us down.
Speaker 5:Here we go.
Speaker 3:Oh, son, of a gun. Yeah, that's another one that I hadn't had the pleasure of tasting.
Speaker 1:So I'm going to tell you.
Speaker 3:It's too expensive for my blood to wear out of bars, and it's even too expensive for Randy's blood to open it up and share it.
Speaker 1:He fits right into the mold perfectly. All you got to do is slide a little bit to your left, Randy, and then we can just insert you into the box.
Speaker 3:There you go, there you go, perfect, that is a rare eagle.
Speaker 1:I think really that's your background, man, that is a cool background.
Speaker 4:That double eagle very rare. Rare was on uh whiskey week. It was 200 bucks for an ounce and a quarter. Wow, it was on that list. So so I do, I go for it man do I open it yes, open it you definitely should it. It's pretty solid man I like that one Do it.
Speaker 1:I just did the six-year multi-run Do it, do it.
Speaker 4:All right, I'm kidding. All right, john. Okay.
Speaker 3:Have you had your students had their prom night? I'm an elementary man, I'm not high school, okay, okay, but actually.
Speaker 4:Nash, all the high schools around here prom night. I'm an elementary man, I'm not high school, but actually, nash, all the high schools around here are doing prom nights and actually they're graduating in the next week, so I think prom nights were like three weeks ago so everybody who got through this week, my grandson's having his first prom, is he?
Speaker 3:a junior or sophomore senior, I wouldn't know. He's a junior, okay, and he's already got a state championship football ring. Well, congrats to him. That's awesome man.
Speaker 1:I know so quickly if you made it through the. He's a sophomore.
Speaker 3:Hold on. Yeah, he's a sophomore If you made it through. He got his first ring last year Hold on, If you made it through Nash. He was playing for JV but they pulled him up to varsity and he played the whole last half of the season with varsity because he was that good and he's already got a college profile set up from. One of the guys from Clemson University came down there you go, he'll get nil.
Speaker 3:That'll be great. Hopefully he can get paid. They went back to the state championship this year and played the same team that they beat last year and they lost by one point. It's because they lost all their kickers graduated last year, and so the guy why they lost by one point was the guy missed an extra point. Yeah, All right, hold on, man. They played their hearts out.
Speaker 1:Super cool, Nash. You can't hear me. Can you hear me, Nash?
Speaker 3:I can hear you now.
Speaker 1:Okay, so everybody who made it through the technical difficulty of the Internet going out.
Speaker 2:I want to Of the.
Speaker 1:Internet blackout. We're going to do the audio and on YouTube, but I would like to introduce John Ritt has joined us when that happened, because Super Nash had no idea what to do, so he just opened up the whole room to everybody, which is awesome. That's usually what we do afterwards.
