Fireball Infiltration – Bourbon & Banter Podcast #14

Patrick "Pops" Garrett -

rprises regarding major warehouse stores debuting new products.

This month’s Whiskey News covers everything from Sazerac exporting Fireball to China, rapid aging techniques, and the direct-to-consumer advantage for craft distillers. Not to be threatened with legal action, we also take another swipe at South Africa’s recent ridiculousness. With Costco’s new partnership with Barton 1792, we knew Sam’s Club wouldn't be far behind, and we’re here to break that news wide open!

Our cocktail editor Erin Petrey joins us for a new segment to help you up your cocktail game. Her use of SAP56 Canadian Maple Whiskey takes a front seat this month, showcasing a multitude of options to put some natural sweetness in your cocktail.

The craft shoot returns this month with a famed Kentucky distillery rebranding itself. Does the new brand live up to the history of this fabled distillery? You’ll have to listen to find out.

The most electrifying segment in bourbon podcasting closes us out. That’s right…Bourbon Bullshit comes at you with the attitude and honesty you’ve come to expect from Bourbon & Banter. He may be a hall-of-famer, but that doesn’t stop us from going after Stone Cold Steve Austin’s recent Blanton’s flex. Flavored whiskey gets hit right in the…peaches, and a recent story from Inside Edition gets us riled up at what is being perpetrated on consumers.

As the most honest podcast in bourbon, we don't pull any punches and we tell it like we see it. If you've been searching for a bourbon podcast that provides honest commentary, to the point information, and doesn't take itself too seriously – welcome home!
