Send us a text


Ed Bley didn't let a snowstorm dampen his spirits or his stories
about whiskey; he made it through the blizzard to join us for an
episode that's as heartwarming as a glass of bourbon by the fire.
With laughter and nostalgia, we journey from Ed's origins in the
Whiskey Barrel Society to becoming an esteemed figure in the
bourbon industry, all while celebrating the connections that
whiskey has a way of inspiring. Pour yourself a dram, folks, and
get ready to be immersed in tales of hidden bottle hunts, vibrant
in-store events, and the comradery that keeps the bourbon
community so tightly knit.

As we sipped and savored, Ed and the Scotchy Bourbon Boys
divulged the secrets behind the alluring alchemy of barrel
selection and blending. With over 80 barrels sampled, it's a
labor of love and skill to craft the perfect whiskey blend. Our
conversation flowed from the complexities of the aging process to
the importance of an eye-catching bottle design, and how the
simple act of opening a bottle can start a transformation in
flavor. This episode is a treasure trove of inside knowledge, not
only on what shapes the whiskey in your glass but also on the
realities of the industry's economics.

Rounding off our spirited session, we gave you a sneak peek at
the Old Stubborn Rye Bourbon, a creation that's poised to
tantalize taste buds and deepen friendships. We took pleasure in
sharing our run-ins with bourbon legends and the light-hearted
brainstorming of whimsical whiskey names. Every sip brought a
story, and every story brought us closer. Remember, it's not just
about the bourbon; it's about the moments we cherish and the
people we share them with. So here's to good bourbon, great
friends, and the memories waiting to be made.
