• 13:37
  SPEAKER_04: And then one of the cool things about it is it's Thursday night's the kickoff at the Whiskey Thief.
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_04: And then Friday, you've got the auction and um you know the the main uh dinner and auction that uh for charit for raising the raising money uh and for charity.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_04: Um one of the cool things is is that bourbon on the banks has given back to the community.
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_04: Uh they do this and they give back to the community uh and and charities, and it's just a great event.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_04: It's how it's it's how whiskey uh and bourbon uh what would you say?
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_04: How they merge with the community to make the community better.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_04: And this particular festival um is a great, great time because once again, of all the people that are there, for instance, Matt Groves of uh Augusta will be there.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_04: Um there a lot of the people that were at Kentucky Bourbon Festival transfer over to this festival.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_04: Uh, but you never know who a lot of times, for instance, um Greg Schneider, four branches is gonna be there, but he's on a cruise.
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_04: Um there's there's many different sometimes the people are there, sometimes there are Freddie Johnson.
• 15:06
  SPEAKER_04: Although at Buffalo Trace, you the Buffalo Trace uh has the at their tent, um, you could taste their they'll they have a uh a decent tasting that goes on, but um it's not like Carlin Wheatley is there, but Freddie Johnson's walking around the festival, and you know, you get to hang out with him and just have a good time.
• 15:32
  SPEAKER_04: So this festival, you got the Friday night event, which is the auction, which was amazing.
• 15:40
  SPEAKER_04: Uh we ended up Friday night at uh David's Sandlin's place, which is uh House of Commons, and that Friday night uh the people who uh the people who we found out that when they uh when they bought and won the bottles at auction, they just opened them up and shared them with everybody at the auction.
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_04: So you've got that um that event going.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_04: And then um then Friday night, which was a fantastic night last time last last year, everybody, and then Saturday is the festival, but it wraps up at 6.
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_04: And Saturday night was wild.
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_04: Uh Brent Elliott was in for, he was there, and him and his wife and his daughter walked into the House of Carmen Commons, and it just kind of went off the rails that night.
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_04: Um, that was a wild night.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_04: There's a lot of good whiskey being shared and tasted, and um a lot of friendships were formed.
• 16:48
  SPEAKER_04: Um, and I look forward to this festival because of what happens when you go out onto the town at six o'clock.
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_04: You're gonna grab some food.
• 16:59
  SPEAKER_04: Uh the all the bars and uh all the businesses are open and uh you know for business, and then you've got a street fair, which is pretty cool.
• 17:12
  SPEAKER_04: Uh, the whole that whole Saturday night after party, and I believe Friday night too, there's a lot of stuff happening throughout the city of Frankfurt.
• 17:24
  SPEAKER_04: So it's the one cool thing is that there is a huge um emphasis on Frankfurt, and uh I would highly recommend anybody coming down.
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_04: If you don't have tickets, just come down and hang up.
• 17:40
  SPEAKER_04: Hang out, not hang out, hang up, hang out because honestly, it's a really, really cool venue, love it, and uh you gotta come down.

  SPEAKER_04: Uh, and then uh share a pour with us.
• 18:12
  SPEAKER_04: That's something that you can do the whole time.
• 18:16
  SPEAKER_04: I mean, it's just uh uh tasting extravaganza and uh take we we take selfies, uh uh would love to have meet anybody who listens, uh always excited to meet the listeners.
• 18:33
  SPEAKER_04: So make sure that uh like like I said, you're gonna see us about Thursday at Whiskey Thief, and then probably a little bit into Thursday night, and then Friday all we're gonna we'll be sending, but we're gonna be running around Friday, um, dropping off our stuff for setup, and then we're going to be um headed over to uh Frankfurt and just hanging out and uh hitting hitting all the the right places, and then Saturday's the festival, and we will be out again Saturday night.

  SPEAKER_04: So uh that's where we're at with uh Bourbon on the Banks.
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_04: It is this Saturday, which is and and always it's every first weekend Saturday in October.
• 20:11
  SPEAKER_04: It's just that's what it is.
• 20:13
  SPEAKER_04: It's like whatever that day is, that Saturday, and the first weekend of October, that's what it's gonna be.
• 20:19
  SPEAKER_04: So now, oh let's see, what do we got here?
• 20:25
  SPEAKER_04: I I believe I got a uh do I got a glen?
• 20:30
  SPEAKER_04: I had a glen.
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_04: I could get one from over here.
• 20:34
  SPEAKER_04: All right, let me grab a glen real quick.
• 20:38
  SPEAKER_04: I'll grab this one.
• 20:40
  SPEAKER_04: Uh-huh.
• 20:42
  SPEAKER_04: Uh-huh.
• 20:42
  SPEAKER_04: Uh-huh.
• 20:44
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, great.
• 20:45
  SPEAKER_04: Didn't want that to happen.
• 20:50
  SPEAKER_04: Come on.
• 20:51
  SPEAKER_04: There we go.
• 20:52
  SPEAKER_04: Everything's going good there.
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_04: All right.
• 20:54
  SPEAKER_04: What's your OF Link?
• 20:59
  SPEAKER_04: I don't know what that even means.
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_04: All right.
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_04: I've got this uh Steel Valley bourbon.
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_04: Um all right.
• 21:09
  SPEAKER_04: So I don't know.
• 21:16
  SPEAKER_04: Jamie's gonna be at the St.
• 21:17
  SPEAKER_04: Louis Bourbon Festival instead.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_04: That's a I I'm I've heard about that, that one.
• 21:25
  SPEAKER_04: A lot of people go to it.
• 21:27
  SPEAKER_04: Um, maybe uh, well, it if it's on the same weekend as bourbon on the banks, probably won't be going to that because we participate with the in the in that one.
• 21:39
  SPEAKER_04: So that brings us to the very fun time of old Louisville Whiskey Company's barrel bottle breakdown.
• 21:54
  SPEAKER_04: Bom, bam, bam, bow.
• 21:55
  SPEAKER_04: And uh old Louisville Whiskey Company in Louisville, Kentucky, uh, is a great experience.
• 22:03
  SPEAKER_04: Uh just look them up.
• 22:05
  SPEAKER_04: Uh, you've got to um make an appointment to see Amin.
• 22:11
  SPEAKER_04: Uh but what you're gonna do when you get there is an experience that's very, very different because you're gonna have um the owner of, in most cases, the owner of all the barrels and the the brand um take you through many different barrels, and you get to come up and you can fill your own barrel or you can pick something that he's released in the gift shop that got great merch.
• 22:41
  SPEAKER_04: Uh, you gotta check out old Louisville Whiskey Company in Louis Old Louisville, in Louisville, can Kentucky, but know that they are moving to Shively soon.
• 22:53
  SPEAKER_04: They purchased the old Seagrim's, um, one of the old Seagrim's warehouses, and things are gonna get real there.
• 23:00
  SPEAKER_04: So we're looking forward to the move.
• 23:03
  SPEAKER_04: Uh, just make sure that you check out the old Louisville Whiskey Company.
• 23:08
  SPEAKER_04: All right, the old Louisville Whiskey Company's barrel bottle breakdown rating system consists of four categories, two categories, uh, nose and body.
• 23:18
  SPEAKER_04: You can get up to four knocks on the barrel.
• 23:23
  SPEAKER_04: Uh and then you've got uh taste and finish, which you can get up to five knocks on the barrel for a total of 18 points.
• 23:32
  SPEAKER_04: But if one of the categories is exceptional, you're allowed to one time, a one-time use and give it a butt up up, which would give it a perfect bourbon with a butt up up a 19 of 18.
• 23:51
  SPEAKER_04: So here we go.
• 23:53
  SPEAKER_04: I'm gonna try this.
• 23:55
  SPEAKER_04: The beautiful and the damned.
• 23:57
  SPEAKER_04: So there's a bunch of stuff on this one, and let's see.
• 24:03
  SPEAKER_04: I should see what happens when I share the screen.
• 24:07
  SPEAKER_04: Because if I share this screen, you all will see it.
• 24:10
  SPEAKER_04: You won't have to see me.
• 24:12
  SPEAKER_04: There it is.
• 24:15
  SPEAKER_04: Uh-uh.
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_04: Well, let's see.
• 24:24
  SPEAKER_04: That is desktop two.
• 24:26
  SPEAKER_04: We gotta do that, and we're gonna share.
• 24:31
  SPEAKER_04: There it is.
• 24:32
  SPEAKER_04: Am I sharing?
• 24:34
  SPEAKER_04: Yes.
• 24:36
  SPEAKER_04: I was hoping.
• 24:37
  SPEAKER_04: So, there you go.
• 24:39
  SPEAKER_04: This is the beautiful and the damn, their story.
• 24:43
  SPEAKER_04: The beautiful and the dam is a collaboration between one of the best distilleries in the country, master blenders, and founders with a years-long passion for perfected whiskey.
• 24:52
  SPEAKER_04: It is apparent when you hold our bottle in your hand and taste its contents.
• 24:57
  SPEAKER_04: There is nothing quite like it, and you will immediately understand that we tirelessly taste our whiskies against the best in the world.
• 25:06
  SPEAKER_04: How do we do it?
• 25:07
  SPEAKER_04: The Beautiful and Dam finds the absolute best barrels for our offerings, the ones that most companies save for single barrels.
• 25:14
  SPEAKER_04: It is from these rare barrels that we create our blends.
• 25:17
  SPEAKER_04: Their single barrel standards are the entry-level standard for all of our offerings.
• 25:22
  SPEAKER_04: Our barrels are from the right batch, the right location, in the right warehouse for the mash bill and age of the whiskey.
• 25:30
  SPEAKER_04: We marry our barrels prior to bottling for a time far longer than industry norms, and we slow proof over a long period as well.
• 25:39
  SPEAKER_04: The process is expensive but also creates the best product.
• 25:43
  SPEAKER_04: The Beautiful in the Dam uses well-aged whiskey in their offering as there is no substitute for age in the quality of the whiskey.
• 25:52
  SPEAKER_04: Our flagship products fall in the four to ten year range, which is perfect balance of not too old or young.
• 26:01
  SPEAKER_04: We have witnessed overly aged, flat, lined whiskey where you can taste, all you can taste is oak, and we've witnessed whiskey being too young, resulting in harsh and grainy flavors.
• 26:14
  SPEAKER_04: Our barrel selection process assures these subpar barrels don't make it into our blends.
• 26:22
  SPEAKER_04: As whiskey drinkers, we've been conditioned to think older is better.
• 26:28
  SPEAKER_04: This is simply not true with American whiskey.
• 26:31
  SPEAKER_04: If we are honest, age as a marketing tool was created in the 1970s due to the decline in whiskey sales during that time.
• 26:38
  SPEAKER_04: Bourbon was kept in a barrel much longer than it should be.
• 26:42
  SPEAKER_04: Enter the genius of marketers in their older is better campaign.
• 26:46
  SPEAKER_04: They saved the industry.
• 26:48
  SPEAKER_04: Interestingly, many distilleries at the time thought the whiskey became overaged, ruined by too many wood tannins.
• 26:55
  SPEAKER_04: Understandably, bourbon in American whiskey is not scotch.
• 26:59
  SPEAKER_04: American bourbon and rye is aged in new chart oak barrels with hot summers and cold winters.
• 27:04
  SPEAKER_04: Scotch is aged in used oak barrels in moderate climate.
• 27:08
  SPEAKER_04: Keeping scotch in the barrel for a very long time makes sense.
• 27:11
  SPEAKER_04: For American whiskey, it doesn't.
• 27:14

  SPEAKER_04: Here's the finish.
• 43:35
  SPEAKER_04: Peaches slight bit of wood tannin.
• 43:46
  SPEAKER_04: But as it goes longer and longer, it gets a little bitter.
• 43:53
  SPEAKER_04: So this is gonna get and it's not a long, it's a medium.
• 44:01
  SPEAKER_04: So it gets a four out of five.
