National Bourbon Heritage Month

All right, some announcements, things that are going on.

So we are now exiting out of Bourbon Heritage Month, but that means one big thing as the launch of the Haunted Lodge here at Trial and Error at our spook-easy.

Ooh.

Mm-hmm.

We like to be fancy here on Neat and Mixed, and we have a great guest for you, uh, this go around as we're, you know, in the midst of National Bourbon Heritage Month, and it makes sense that we're gonna dive into this topic.

It's very bourbon related, uh, but also takes a unique spin on that, that bourbon education as we talk with the co-creator and instructor of American Whiskey Scholars.

He's also the former director of Moonshine University and current vice president at Peggy Noe Stevens & Associates.

This is Allagash's Belgian-style golden ale, or their triple, Asian bourbon barrels.

It is Bourbon Heritage Month, people.

I know they get their barrels sourced from Jim Beam, so it's primarily Jim Beam barrels.

Suntory.

They call Elijah Craig.

And the reason why I wanted to do this, Elijah Craig over the part of his heritage, because Elijah Craig is considered the father of bourbon.

So if it's Bourbon Heritage Month, I think it says it on the bottle, too, if I'm not mistaken.

Yep.

So technically, I don't think we've covered this for a while, but September is also a whole month drink holiday.

And it is bourbon month.

So I have made a drink with bourbon.

And then I'm also like celebrating the spirit of getting into Applejack.

Listen, I'm going to decorate for Halloween in September, but I'm not screaming in an Applebee's.

What about more bourbon decorations? If we're going to celebrate Bourbon Heritage Month, we could be...

Let's make that a thing.

Let's make that a thing.

Isn't

that just up all the time, though?

No, there need to be blow-ups and all the shit we see with all the other holidays need to be for National Bourbon Heritage Month.

We got to get that kind

All right, so.

So it is Bourbon Heritage Month, and I was going to keep that theme.

And we seem to be keeping the theme here.

It's not a thing that we plan to do, whatever, as far as barrel-aged bottles and stuff like that.

But Bourbon Heritage Month.

Cody's a beer guy.

I'm a whiskey guy.

I'm hashtag not all, right? But there are people out there that are literally, I saw...

So September is Bourbon Heritage Month, supposedly, whatever.

I saw somebody post something that said, if you are not willing to send me whiskey for Bourbon Heritage Month, do not expect me to review your whiskey or review your whatever.

And I'm thinking, wow.

Wow.

That's right.

Well, before we get into that, you know, by the way, we are still in Bourbon Heritage Month.

I hope you're celebrating now 18 days in with some more whiskey every single day.

Filling out those calendars.

All right, everybody, it is Bourbon Release News time, and boy oh boy, does it feel like September.

I know, based on the amount of boxes we're tripping over at our, our, uh, in our offices.

It's- It's, it's Bourbon Heritage Month.

Uh, FedEx and UPS are kind of like, "Come on, guys." I know.
