What does an $1800 bottle of Bourbon taste like?

The Bourbon Boys settle in for their first tasting of a $1800 bottle they blended. The 2023 Infinity Bottle. After recording each episode in 2023, we poured a shot of what we tasted into a gifted, crystal decanter with our names engraved on it. This became the 2023 Infinity Bottle. Hear about how this became an $1800 bottle, how Kratt was able to pull fast math on it, how Kurt's neig...

It's time for a long last call to wrap up a big year. We hear about three classic Christmas movies, their lead characters and the bourbon you'd toast them with. From Die Hard with Bruce Willis, to Scrooged with Bill Murray, to Christmas Vacation with Randy Quaid and Chevy Chase. Grab the popcorn, put on your slippers, settle in for a long winter's episode as we raise a glass of good, terrible, meh and decent bourbon to these storie...

If you bottle it, they will drink it… and love it.  

While not exactly as well-known as #ShoelessJoe whispering “if you build it, he will come” to Ray in the #FieldOfDreams classic, we’re pretty sure someone was whispering this to #DrewStoren and #TylerClippard as they worked to create the Field of Dreams bourbon. Or maybe Drew was just hearing things.    Regardless, these two former major leaguers set an audacious goal to bring to...

What does the luck of the draw mean to you? Listen as the boys try two really lucky finds. First up is the Weller black label that Kurton secured through some connections after he tried it at a spirits conference in NYC last year. This is smooooother than the backside of a spoon. Next up is Kratt's lottery winner in the NC ABC allocation lottery - the Woodford Reserve Masters Collection coming in at a hot 124+ proof. This lottery i...

This is just a week after Episode 062 - Room 206, so we are feeling loose. There's a very thin thread of a storyline in this episode, but we do cover Kentucky Owl from Kentucky of course, Monk's Road also from Kentucky and David E. from Hershey PA. Alton and Kratt did their homework, while Kurton and DEW just interrupted the entire time. We sample a great range of flavors mixed together with plenty of sharp banter between Kurt and ...

What happens when you bury a bottle of bourbon upside down, in the middle of the summer, behind a church, at night? Find out and hear about what tasty bottles were hidden behind the door of Room 206. This episode talks about newlyweds, drink packages, boot legging bourbon, The Spire, deep friendships, meeting Bourbon Tom and toasting to a bright future.

If you can find a bottle of Horse Soldier, Blue Run (it's a rye this time) and ...

Where have you fellas been?

We have put on thousands of miles of travel over the past three months. We did our homework and tasted, collected, reviewed some great bourbons and other whisky and whiskey. From Berkshires in western Massachusetts to the red corn fields of Wisconsin to the shores of southern Alaska. Plus there was always time to taste Canadian, Irish, Scottish whiskies. 

Southern Alaska is where we find Boatwright, a yo...

What Daufuskie?  

That’s what we all said when Kratt got pulled away for a company dinner last minute and couldn’t join us tonight.  So Alton picked up Kratt's role and gave Kurt are hard time. We learned a lot in this eposide about starting businesses, ladders and frat houses, stealing second and living on an island, this is one worth a listen.

Staring Down The Barrel - Rotten Little Bastard

The irony in the name Rotten Little Bastard wasn’t lost on us. In this episode of Staring Down The Barrel, we chat with the owner and founders of Rotten Little Bastard Distillery. Hailing from the low country Beaufort, SC, this young distillery is hiding its age in some pretty amazing tasting bourbon for a soon to be three year old distillery. The brain chi...

“Wait, how did we get to episode 58?” What else did I miss?

Turning the page on more than the calendar year, the conversation delves into a major life change for one of the crew. With lots of bourbon on the table, we go deep in a bottle of Noah’s Mill - maybe too deep. The bottle, gifted from a close friend (thank you, Neil) leads us as explore a soul-batical career break, aka ‘pretirement’, and some of the many factors that led t...
