In this Episode of The Bourbon Life Podcast presented by Liquor Barn, the entire Bourbon Life Crew spend some time hanging out together in The Bourbon Life Studios enjoying some great pours and even better conversation. The Crew talk about the recently announced Garrard County Distilling Co. (which was built completely under everyone’s radar over the past couple of years) and their hiring of the one and only Lisa Wicker as their Master Distiller, the difference between palatized and ricked barrels and the impact that each storage technique can have on maturation and the final product, and whether young Bourbons/Ryes are getting a bad rap for no good reason these days. They also taste and review Fighting Cock Bourbon (a surprise blind pour from Philip), the brand new Old Forester 1924 (courtesy of Mark), and Kings County Distillery’s Empire Rye Batch 6 (courtesy of Mr, Rye himself, Matt).
