What happens when you combine Kentucky's biggest bourbon celebration with the Scotchy Bourbon Boys' passion for capturing authentic whiskey experiences? An unforgettable week filled with rare tastings, exclusive access, and unexpected adventures.
Our journey began days before the official Kentucky Bourbon Festival, with an ambitious itinerary that included podcasting with Rebecca Neely in their speakeasy, hosting fans at Revival Vintage Spirits, and acquiring a truly historic bourbon – a 1946 Dowling Deluxe distilled in 1938. Each day brought new discoveries as we visited Town Branch, Jim Beam, Whiskey Thief, and numerous other distilleries, capturing professional-quality content while immersing ourselves in Kentucky's bourbon culture.
The centerpiece of our pre-festival activities was our curated bus tour, taking whiskey enthusiasts to legendary Louisville destinations including the Evan Williams Experience, the historic Pendennis Club (birthplace of the Old Fashioned), Old Carter, and Old Louisville Whiskey Company. Walter Zausch's extraordinary hospitality at the Pendennis Club – featuring custom Old Fashioneds and a 25-year Derby bottle – exemplified the personal connections that make bourbon culture so special.
Among the most memorable experiences was participating in a Maker's Mark Private Selection despite the distillery suffering a power outage from a lightning strike. Selecting staves by natural light in the lakehouse created an atmosphere connecting us to bourbon's pre-industrial roots, resulting in a selection that perfectly accentuates the whiskey's creme brulee and caramel notes.
The festival itself revealed the growing intensity of bottle hunting, with some enthusiasts waiting hours without success. However, Jim Beam's generous allocation of special releases – including Knob Creek 21, Booker's Reserve 2025, and three Hardin's Creek expressions – ensured even general admission attendees could secure remarkable bottles.
Beyond the planned events, we experienced an unexpected moment of heroism when CT rescued a young woman from an overturned vehicle – a powerful remi

Here's the boys tiny, I'm here, I'm ready to go.
Speaker 1:I would have to say that this podcast is going to be about a couple things About how freaking awesome it is to go down to Kentucky Bourbon Festival, but then it's how awesome it is of the event that we make it and the amount of content that we capture. So the amount of content that we capture was unbelievable this year. I felt like we pretty much professionally captured it. I don't know if I can professionally get it out. I'm going to do my best. I'm working with Nobs he's helping me out, do stuff. I'm loading stuff up. We're going to put together videos, we're going to do some things and so we're going to get that Facebook Beyond the lives and the shorts. We are going to have some really kind of cool, informative, long, you know, half hour, 45 minute shows. 3rd and 4th we will be there. We're working on leaving Thursday afternoon to get down there Thursday night for the Whiskey Thief Party, and so we got bourbon on the banks coming up. But remember wwwscotchybourbonboyscom for all things Scotchy Bourbon Boys. Make sure you check it out. We've got the Glenns and t-shirts. We just sold out of XL, so I don't know if we're going to.

Now I'm feeling like the group.
Speaker 1:What happened in Kentucky was amazing and we had a lot of cool things, but one of the things I'll get a refill Carry on. I never see this, so okay, so james morgan is on and hey man, uh, he's never seen us, but thank you for being on. So tonight the the cool thing is is that um one. I'm going to quick review. So this we started we.
Speaker 1:We started on saturday before the festival, which started Thursday night. But that Saturday, this is the day. Get up at 4.30. Drive to Bardstown, go to a staff meeting for the festival, check into our Airbnb, head back up an hour and a half up to Neely Family Distillery, do a podcast there with Rebecca Neely in their speakeasy. Totally cool. We did a live and a podcast. Fantastic stuff that they got going on there, got to taste some fantastic whiskey and then we went to left there and we had went to Revival Vintage Spirits and Bottle Shop in Covington, which is another 40 minutes north. There we had the Scotchy Bourbon Boys night. We were Brad Bonds, put it out that we're going to be there. Some of our fans came. We did a podcast on the street that night, right from Revival.
Speaker 1:We also purchased the whiskey that, the Mary. Oh, let's see if it's in there there. Do I got it here or did I take it upstairs? I think I took it upstairs, so it's not here, but we bought a Dowling Deluxe from 92 of them from 1946, courtesy of revival. You know Brad Bonds did this because he was sponsoring got us a really good deal. Um, I told him I didn't care what the bottle looked like as long as the whiskey was good. And it's because we had two buses, we needed two bottles and we picked up two 1946 Dowling Deluxes, kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey bottled in Bond eight year. It was an eight year so it was distilled in 1938.
Speaker 1:We picked that up and then we drove the two and a half hours back to our airbnb and got back about 12, 15, you know, in the morning, and then got up the next morning, had this sunday, had breakfast at 10 am with we met her at the Bardstown Country Club to have breakfast with Sandy Ngo, went back to her house a little bit and then we headed up to. We headed up to no, that was Labor Day, so we stayed there. So after we finished there we went and had dinner 4.30 dinner, yeah, we went back to the Airbnb and then had a 4.30 dinner and met Walker and Randy Ford at Jim Bean where we got there a little early. We were able to get a couple things and knobs. You're going to really like what happened there. And then, once we finished there, we went to the kitchen table, had dinner and then got invited to Whiskey Thief. Nash, myself and Roxy left Jim Beam and went up to Whiskey Thief in Frankfurt where we hung out after hours with Walter. As he said we're closed, go thief yourself. So that was kind of cool. So we were at Whiskey Thief that night and then we got back about. We were there until about 8.30, and then got back about 9.30 on Sunday.
Speaker 1:Now, monday was a different story. Monday was we went to let's see, we went to, got to do something here. This is too tight. Yeah, there we go. We went in the morning and we, what was it?
Speaker 1:We, we went up because dave from the bards uh from, uh, come on town branch, which is the lexingtoning Company and Town Branch Distillery, invited us, reached out and said you should check out. We're open Labor Day, you know, do something. You know we should be able to do something. We went up there and Ben was the contact that we were trying to get a hold of. But we just showed up about one o'clock and Steve was there, and Steve is the tour guide and I showed him, all the emails between Ben and Dave and we ended up getting a great tour and a thieving experience. And their new thieving experience at Town Branch is fantastic. I really enjoyed it. It's nothing like Whiskey Thief. It's basically kind of like a throwback. The barrels are locked, they open each one up and then let you taste out of them, so it's really kind of a cool experience.
Speaker 1:Steve, our tour guide, did a great job, and then we came back and cooked steaks out and made ct, who joined us at this point, um, eat tomatoes. That's, that's funny. Uh, inside joke right there. But um, so the nash, I'm trying not to watch the game. I'm going to watch it in delay. Don't give me updates, god darn it. All right, but it is a good update, so I'm not going to complain.
Speaker 1:So then we finished up it had stakes that night, hung out with Sandy, and then we went back to the house and hung out by. I believe we started a fire that night, hung out by the fire and hung out by. I believe we started a fire that night, hung out by the fire and then. So then Tuesday what Tuesday was is? We all had to help out. So I wonder what? Why? Because we had something after on Tuesday afternoon and I'm trying to remember what it was. There was so much that we did Because Wednesday was our bus tour.
Speaker 1:There's a gap there. Hey, Nash, you should let me know what we did Tuesday night, because it's it's, it's the. We went, we, we helped and there was a reason we had to leave the in the afternoon. We had to go do something. There was one thing that we had to do on Tuesday afternoon and I forget what it was. But then Wednesday was our bus tour. Our bus tour was phenomenal.
Speaker 1:Walter Zausch came along, david Sandlin from House of Commons he owns that bar in Frankfurt. We had Amzie and Destiny Amzy thank you so much for that tasting of that Weller Antique 107 from whenever. And then we had great pours. We had the Dowling on there. We had so many different things. There was the 50-minute drive up. We did those special pours.
Speaker 1:We then went to the Evan Williams experience where we had a great experience there. Then we went to lunch at the Pendennis Club. Walter went beyond. I mean, we're talking about, had an old fashioned to start off, then went up and had lunch on a table that seated 28 people in their main dining room, then took us over to taste the Penn Dennis 25 Derby Bottle. And then when we left there which was we're already had a fantastic experience, but we left there went to Old Carter, saw Mark Carter and Christy Atkinson they did a great job. I'm excited we're going to be joining. Hopefully we're working a really cool thing out with them.
Speaker 1:And then after that we went to Whiskey Thief and I ended up there and somehow Walter lagged behind and couldn't get out of Old Carter and he came in a little bit late. And then we went to Old Louisville Whiskey Company Old Louisville Whiskey Company and there we met up with Amin and we got to taste through some really, really good barrels. So, uh, then it was grab ordered, we ordered pizza and we went on. Oh, oh, my god, it's like of course we ordered. Uh, let me see if I can get this back. I don't. It's just like go to YouTube, there we go.
Speaker 1:We were back, had pizza and back at the Airbnb where we started a fire and everybody sat around mellowed out. But we all knew we had to get to bed early because of this Maker's Mark. We did a Maker's Mark, private selection. But it was the coolest thing, the Maker's Mark. We did a Maker's Mark private selection, but it was the coolest thing. The Maker's Mark private selection was insane.
Speaker 1:Their transformer had been hit by lightning the night before. It was a pretty intense thunderstorm that morning and they had no power. When we got there I thought we weren't even going to get a. We weren't even going to get anything. And, uh, it was crazy that we got something. Um, we got the tasting with no electricity at the lake house. Uh, they opened up the doors and let the natural light in and actually, let me see, uh, we were picking aft, we, we, we did. We had an interview with Rob Samuel Samuels and we did that in their offices to natural life. That was cool, but let's see where is it? Sanford Josephson was actually contacting me and he was like he was doing a selection on the other team without realizing it was us, and then he saw the video and realized it was us and could hear himself on the video because we overlapped just a little bit. So that was really kind of cool. Those are the kind of things that are just amazing when you're running around doing things.
Speaker 1:Now, once we'd finished with the pick, we ran over to Limestone Branch Distillery and I picked up something I'd been waiting for for a year. I picked up the Rocky Patel Yellowstone Infused Tobacco Cigars that they did that Stephen Fontaine's been talking about. I picked up my my first ever box of cigars. I purchased um there. Then we went to the trail hotel and mal ramos is such a fantastic host. We did a podcast from the speakeasy that I'll be dropping and alive. You might have seen that already. And then then from there we went to on our way home to go to Bourbon in the Air, because this is Thursday, the kickoff of the festival.
Speaker 1:There was an accident which we came up upon where CT was in front of us and he heroically went into the woods where this car had gone in, flipped over, was on its side, and he pulls a young lady out of her car and, as we're walking to see what happened, got out of our car in direct traffic because we're on a two-lane 55-mile-an-hour highway. In the middle of a curve, he comes out with the girl in his arms and thank god she was all right. But we all know that whether he, if he, if the car was on fire, he would have done it. He just went in there and did it. It was amazing and, uh, I still can't. You know, I still am happy. Um, I know chris thompson, ct, and he's part of our group because he's just an amazing guy. Now we finished up with that.
Speaker 1:We still were able to get to Bourbon in the Air this year. For me and us, bourbon in the Air will call is where you go to get all your emissions for the whole festival up front, and one year I had to wait and I missed part of the bourbon. Waiting for the bands this year was fantastic. All the bands were there, everything that had to happen happened and we were into the festival for Bourbon in the Air on time. The great thing about Bourbon in the Air is all the distillers are releasing some cool things, but the amount of people that come to Bourbon in the Air is restricted, and we buy the tickets for Bourbon in the Air every year because that is the calm night that we enjoy the festival, because we shoot some video, we shoot some captures, we do a couple things, but we're pretty much relaxed and trying not to work. We're trying to enjoy that but still capture what it is.
Speaker 1:And there's also a certain amount of bottles for sale. Now, I didn't buy any bottles that night. I figured I'd get them what would you say organically through the festival. So the first morning of the festival, as a media person, the only people that get in line for the bottles are the president's VIP and then the VIP at 11, and then general admission comes in for the bottles With us and our bands. We really don't get in line until the general emissions let in, and that's when we are able to get in line with them. And the first day there was a couple things I was trying for, and you know they release certain bottles, and so I wasn't able. I really didn't get anything the first day. But I worked and the first day was hugely successful. We did two podcasts on the first day. Usually I'm doing my scheduling and I don't even do a podcast on the first day.
Speaker 1:Kb, it was a good time. So was the Michter's Distillery Bar. Yes, bar, yes, larry, the, the that mictors, just the, the when we went up. Oh, I know what we did on tuesday we went to amore and on our way to amore we stopped at mictors and we met larry, who just commented. And we met him at theichter's Bar because we went up there and we were doing and thank you for the pour of the Bomberger's RFG really fine grain RFG, I think, yeah, or RPG, whatever. Thank you, larry, for that. We appreciate it and it was great to meet you also. It was a very good time and met a lot of good people. So that's what we did that night.
Speaker 1:We went up to, stopped at Michter's, then we drove up to Amore and had an unbelievable dinner cooked by Al Popsidoros and Popsidoro and he is a that that I've. We've raved about this, this Amore restaurant, forever. If you can go there, the food is fantastic. I don't order, I he, I ordered a, I ordered and I just let him cook. We bring him a bottle to cook with and he cooks. And this year everybody the special was duck. So I thought when I order, sometimes I get the special, but not this time. He did a bone-in ribeye that was to die for that. Even Super Nash would say yep, that was it. And we stopped off at Greg Schneider's house. So we went to Michter's, then we went to Greg Schneider's house for about a half hour and then went over to Amore with him and we all had one of the finest meals that you I mean. It's just unbelievable how good of a chef that Al is, so anyways.
Speaker 1:So now we're at Bourbon in the Air that night, everything goes good. And so Friday morning rolls around with the festival and, like I said, I got nothing, but we were working and it was really kind of the coolest thing. But on the bus tour, I was able to. When we were on the bus tour, I picked up Evan Williams, I picked up the Master Blend because I always do and I picked up the 12-year also. So this is my first bottle of 12-year. I usually don't get a shot at it, but this is where I was buying my whiskey this year. Get a shot at it, but I this is this is where I was buying my whiskey this year. So we'll be doing a nice little podcast on the Evan Williams 12 year and master blend. I'll set this back down here because I've gotten, so that'll back this off a little bit. And then also on the tour.
Speaker 1:So on the tour we picked up I want to say where is it? It was a whiskey, is that? No, is that the Whiskey Thief? No, no, no. Let's see, that's the Whiskey Thief, right? I picked up this 5th of July, which was really cool, and 2025 release. So I'm looking forward to this being a podcast. I always need another Whiskey Thief and I do. It's true, we go through it a lot.
Speaker 1:Then we stopped off at one point what day I think it was? Wow, I got to remember Me Super Nash and we stopped off at Preservation Distillery because that is by the trail. I think we did that after the trail. We just stopped off and tasted because I I wanted and I tasted them all and I was happy with the rare perfection 14, which was my original bottle. So I was able to get that. That will be a podcast.
Speaker 1:I'll kind of set this off here. I wonder if that yeah, that's kind of gone um, so those are things that I picked up. Also, rob samuels, uh, gave this bottle here of um. I gave Super Nash my open bottle but he this, um, right now, the Star Hill Farm 2025, um, wheat whiskey, in my opinion, is one of the best things I tasted so far. So we got we picked up that bottle.
Speaker 1:The neely bottle here was when we were at neely. Super nash got me this bottle, this of the bourbon and this is their neely family distillery, kentucky straight bourbon whiskey. It's called the neelys, so that's kind of a cool thing that I picked up. So this is all. This is about all I had. Oh, when we went to Jim Beam, I picked up this. I love to pick up these little special releases by Freddie. This one is Kentucky Straight. Oh, I don't have anything here because of whatever, but anyways, this was the batch 9 and so that I picked up. Now I'm trying to. So now we're back. I think we're pretty much to the festival now. So the oh, I did also pick up the pick, and so everybody. The next podcast will thank you, randy, for PFG.
Speaker 1:The next podcast, we are going to basically announce our pre-sale of our Maker's Mark, private Select, and at one point I believe we're going to announce all of next Tuesday, we will announce our Christmas party, the Crystal Glencairn tasting and all the new packages to join the Crystal Glencairn Club, along with the release of our newest pick. That will be coming in a couple months, but I'm going to offer the pre-sale to everyone. So we'll talk about that. I nosed this after it settled in and this is it's exactly what I wanted to make. I wanted to make a maker's mark on. I just wanted to accentuate the creme brulee and the caramel. So that's kind of what we did. I'll tell you all about how the staves were selected and everything, but that's the next podcast, right there. That'll be what's coming up. So now we go go to.
Speaker 1:A lot of people were frustrated. There are people who waited in line three and a half hours on friday and got nothing. I didn't wait in line, I was doing the podcast, I was doing everything, I was capturing all the people, all the vip, all the people getting stuff, um vvs, uh was released from uh heaven. The line was outrageous but people stood in it and the one thing I noticed was the percentage of bottle collectors was up this year and we'll kind of go over that. So the next day, saturday, jim Beam, in my opinion, pretty much saved the. I just think they've saved the festival because they released Knob Creek, 21, bookers, the reserve 2025, this bowling pin um eight year, which is really kind of cool, it's, it's.
Speaker 1:There was another bowling pin that was ceramic and white, but this is their eight year release and they released three Jacob oh, not Jacob's um Harding, hardin's Creeks, and I believe that Hardin's Creek is right here. So there was three of them. You could have bought them. I bought one, I bought Hardin's Creek one. Now this 20, this, this Knob Creek 21,. I wasn't expecting that. That's amazing. The, the I got to taste this year's first ever Booker's that was finished and I I I will go into that bookers that I got in the reserve fantastic, it's very, very good. And then you just get the bowl.
Speaker 1:The bowling pin was just I don't know what to say it was. To me it was something that it was reasonably priced and something to get, but that happened on to everyone. There was enough for everyone to get this. The, the knob creek 21 did sell out and I wouldn't say, but everything else was available and throughout the whole day. So in my opinion, that's when the festival was like, holy crap, I am going to get some decent whiskey. And that's when my whole world kind of lit up, and so I was really excited to be able to pull in the whiskey that we were able to get. So that was really kind of cool.
Speaker 1:But then, well, the first bourbon in the air, I got the 1776. So let's move the stuff that's already. Oh, and I did get a Jet Brothers from neely, so that was kind of cool. So let's take that. Um whiskey thief, put that there now let's slide the bowling pin back in here and, yes, the hardens creek, actually different floors of different rickhouses. There were all different rickhouses and they were different floors. Um, it was just to show the difference between the same distillate. That happens. And where did it go? Oh, I put it down, and so that was really kind of a cool thing. So there we go, um, and then I was able to get this foolproof the night of bourbon in the air and talk to Ross, I, I does anybody know if Ross, um, cornelison's child has been born? I would like to know. Um, so that was really cool. So then, thinking I wasn't, I was a little bummed because I'd love to get cellar aged. But on sunday we were able to secure a cellar aged because by this time all the cellar, all the vips, had gotten a cellar age and so was available to the general admission, and that was really kind of cool. So I also was able to buy the kentucky bourbon festival pick. So I got that also. So that was kind of cool. Then on, got that also, so that was kind of cool.
Speaker 1:Then on the night of bourbon in the air, I was able to get this green river, and it's really cool what it was. They wanted to move out at their tasting room. They wanted to move out this, um, a weeded barrel that was there so they could put something else in. So they did these decanters and filled that. Now I did also go back. So there you go, that's green river, and you got the wheeze. So then I went back on Sunday and I picked up this bottle, which was the Kentucky Bourbon Festival Chicken Cock Pick single barrel. I had to do it. All Greg Schneider ever talked about was these barrels that he hand-picked the staves for and then distilled the whiskey and put it in, and all I could think about ever and this is this is a single barrel of one of those barrels that was picked specifically for the festival. So I was not going to miss out on that.
Speaker 1:So then, or Sunday happens that, and so we do. A Sunday was crazy because Augusta came on the podcast and they did their, I believe, saturday. They did the came on early and they did their 17 year release the 13, and the 10. Now, I didn't buy the 17, but the 13 was delicious and then the 10 was even, I think, even better. So I picked those two bottles up right from Matt, from Augusta, now on Sunday.
Speaker 1:Sunday, things were really cool because at Old Forrester I was able to pick up two one. They're over there, they're smaller, they're the 117 series which I love, and I was able to pick up two of those after I taste. And then I went over to the Woodford and remembered I was on this pick for Woodford Reserve Double Oak and I'm like I got to get my pick and I've tasted it and, quite frankly, it's fantastic. I think that's what I'm going to taste tonight and wow, that's just awesome. So I'm going to quick, we're 9, 14, I'm going to put this out there. Um, on tuesday we'll be talking about the maker's mark, but this is the one. Uh, should I barrel? Should I do quickly the old louisville am I up to that? Yeah, let's do it. Let's do the Old Louisville Whiskey Company barrel bottle breakdown of Woodford Double Oaked. The Kentucky Bourbon Festival pick. And this is something I'll quick do. I'm going to do it.
Speaker 1:The rating scale you've got toin at, uh, old louisville whiskey company. His experiences are fantastic, his, his, he's almost healed. Folks getting him around the festival was crazy. But, uh, it should. He should be almost healed. But, uh, you gotta check out the old Louisville Whiskey Company there in there in Louisville, obviously you want to get a hold of Amin and the experience is unlike any other on the bourbon trail. So check it out. His whiskeys are fantastic, what he's doing there and his whole story is amazing. So you guys make sure when you're in louisville to go visit the old louisville whiskey company. Uh, and then uh, the old louisville whiskey company barrel bottle breakdown scale is based off of knocks on the barrel with the bung hammer.
Speaker 1:You can get up to. The categories are taste, nose, body and finish. For the nose and the body you can get up to four nocks, and for the taste and the finish you can get up to five nocks. And if one's exceptional you can get a ba-da-bop. So here we go. Oh my God, you can get it a but up up. So here we go. Oh my god, it's pure butterscotch. I love this bottle. I mean I did. It tastes better than what I remember, even when we picked the blend. That's wood, for double oak is a blend and you get to pick from the different blends and decide which ones you want. You pick the blend and then they bottle that for the festival. So on this nose, I'm going to give it a four. Let's taste her at 94, proof the body. So I'm going to give the body a three. Taste Taste to me is a five.
Speaker 1:With a ba-dup-up ba-dup-up, which is six, and then the finish is medium. The finish is a three, four A three, Four, Seven A four, a three, a seven, A six, Thirteen and a 3. 6, so 4, 3, which is 7, and 6 and 9 comes out to a 16. So this gets in the Old Louisville Barrel Bottle Breakdown a 16, 16 of 18, and it really is one of my favorites. This will go down as one of my favorites there is. So to finish up the day we're sitting there, walker gives roxy this forbidden, signed by Marianne Eves, which is really kind of cool. She thanks him. He also gave her a tasty apple, a candied apple, Maker's, and she came home with the 15-year IW Harper. Thank you, Walker. And then I'm walking out and Royce Neely comes up and he's like this is yours, Tiny. He gives me this bottle of the newest absinthe that's winning the awards. It's the most award-winning American absinthe there is. It's the most award-winning American absinthe there is. And I was like talked to Royce for 10, 15 minutes after that. I thanked him for it and I will enjoy that. But then, to finish up, Bard Distillery, which I've there's no need to go into detail, but there was a little bit of a misunderstanding, and both of us we made up her first name is eluding me. I want to say it's not there right now, but as I'm leaving, I was honored that she came up and, in good faith, gave me this bottle of cinder and smoke, which we will be barrel bottle, breaking it down and, um, this is the bottle that they did for the, the inauguration, the 2024 inauguration. And she gave me a awesome pin and I was just dumbfounded.
