• 1:58
  Speaker 4: you why. It was funny. You know, we're always having
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: fun with it. You're out in a rick house in Bardstown, Kentucky.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: You're having a The vibe is always fun when you're
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: on when you're doing a private barrel pic, there's usually
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: only about four to six people with you. And of
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: course you have your Heaven Hill Elijah Cragg. Sylvia is
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: the lady who runs their barrel program on site. She's fantastic,
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: she's great, great personality, gets it and look we've done
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: this at Russell's Reserve and four Roses. It's always fun.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: And I mentioned some of y'all. I got some feedback
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: on the Elijah Craig Haven Hill because we just went
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: a couple of weeks ago. This isn't the same pick.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: This is the one that Nate and I went several
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: months ago. But if you if you go on a
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: guys trip or a couple's trip to look to Kentucky
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: and you do some bourbon and horses or golf or
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: whatever it is you're doing COMBA, and there's great food
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: in Louisville and Lexington. As you know, I would plan
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: the trip around if you go to heaven Hill Slash,
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: Elijah Craig, Henry mckennab, larceny, all the things that they do.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: If you go, I recommend going right around lunchtime because
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: heaven Hill's restaurant and bar is amazing, you know, and
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: I don't usually have high expectations for places like that.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: They've gone all in. It's on the second floor of
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: the kind of center where you the welcome center that's
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: got the mert shop and all that, where you meet Sylvia,
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: your rep or whoever you got that's going to take
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: you into a rick house to do a private parrel pick.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: But the food is really good and the bartenders they
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: have there, as you can imagine, their craft cocktail list,
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: which is driven by heaven Hill products, is amazing. So
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: it's fantastic and it's we had we had a ton
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: of fun, and I recommend going to lunch and doing
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: the whole thing, like either do a pre tour pre
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: lunch then lunch, or doing a lunch and then post tour.
• 4:25

  Speaker 4: in studio, owner of Briarwood Wine and Spirits. They have
• 11:18

• 11:22
  Speaker 4: five minutes. Nate Dogg, good morning, how are you man?
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: I'm great, glad to be here. It's been it's been
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: a minute. Yeah, it's been a minute.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: Super stoked to introduce this, this whiskey. And we had
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: a great trip us as we all. I mean, what
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: what what better fun is there than going to the
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: the mecca of of Bourbon Bardstown, Baby Yeah, And then
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: sitting around I was thinking about it. I was recollecting
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: on the trip, on the drive up here, and you
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: know the name of it was five plus six equals three,
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: also known as bad math.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: And so the reason for that was you'll remember there was.
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: Five of us and we went three ended up going
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: through six barrels total, and every time it was barrel three,
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: which was this one that won?
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: That won out blind because we do them all blind,
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: that's right.
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: We don't know what, we don't know anything about anything.
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: We just know there's six barrels of whiskey.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: And not everybody does that, but it's fun to do
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: that way too.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: I do all my barrels that way.
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: I always have because the brain is real powerful and
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: if you're sitting there talking about it, I mean it
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: just I like the blank slate sure method that we do.
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: And so barrel three was the one that won out
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: because you remember we picked we were like, oh, yeah,
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: this is our favorite. This was the first batch or
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: first run of barrels. And then the young lady that
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: was running that I wish Sylvia. Sylvia thinks she's awesome. Yeah,
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: she's great. She she was like, she kind of nod
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: and she was like, huh, Like there was something about
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: the fact that we picked that one that got her thinking.
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: And I always like it when that happens because it
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: means you've hit on something that unique, which is something
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: that I shoot for in our barrel picks. But and
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: then she was like, okay, I'll be right back. I
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: remember she went and got three more and she brought
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: those and poured them up. That's right, and we mixed
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: them and then we went back through them again and
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: it was that barrel again three, that one, uh, that
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: one or that.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: Was everybody's favorite.
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: And so that was that was that was how we
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: how we got the uh, that was how we got
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: the name of five plus six equals three. I always
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: try to name our barrels after an experience.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: Right of the trip. What we're doing because we're it's fun.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: It's supposed to be an experience and a hell of
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: a time. And whether you and I are at Four
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: Roses or Russell's Reserve or Heaven Hill, Elijah Craig, there's
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: always something going on on the trip which makes it fun.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: Something always happened.
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's why you got bad mad with this
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: Elijah Craig barrel pick at Briarwood Wine and Spirits. They
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: opened in forty one minute, all right. So, and by
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: the way, the dinner that we had at Repell was unbelievable.
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: It's a restaurant. Nate and I and the crew went
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: in downtown Louisville, which is Bourbon Row by the way,
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: which is really cool. Nate and I've hit those spots too.
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: Now you do this pick out in Bardstown at the
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: heaven Hill Distillery, but.
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: It's like the death Star of bird It's it's I
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: know what I mean, like it is. It is a
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: ridiculous facility.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: And by the way, so Repill was amazing. It's in
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: it's a restaurant in the Marriott, a boutique Marriott Hotel.
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: So we had a great night doing that. And then
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: we do the Pick, and I had not done this.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: Nate may have because he's been up there and picked
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: a ton of barrels. But we ate lunch at the

• 17:42
  Speaker 5: like the right at the sweet spot, okay, because for
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: people that like to drink high proof stuff, neat like.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: We are right it.
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: It checks that box, right, But it also gives people
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: that like to tweak it.
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: A little bit, which we in the next segment that's
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: right to proof.
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: It down a little bit, and it just gives you
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: a little little headroom right to work with. So yeah,
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: I was stoked that it came in at one hundred
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: and twenty three. The last one we did Elijah Craig
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: barrel proof, or one of the first ones we did
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: was called the Other Side of the Pillow because it
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: was like one hundred and thirty four proof or something.
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: But it drank like a ninety you know what I mean.
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: It was just a bizarrow. But I love I love
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: Elajah Craigs Whiskey's in general. But the I've got some
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: proof is kind of my favorite.
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: I got some everybody's different. I've got some caramel and
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: honey in here. Okay, you're the one that knows how
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: to do this. From being a sommier, I'm not good
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: at at describing it. I just know that I like
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: to sip on it. But am I right there?
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah for sure. I mean on the nose and palette both.
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: I mean, you'll get the everything in that category what
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: we'll call that category of flavors.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: So you know brown sugar.
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, caramel, toffee like those are all those
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: are all in the same family of flavors.
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: And it's smooth at nine to twenty four in the
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: morning without we haven't put rocks or water on it.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: We will. Yeah, that's what I like about it.
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: Even at one hundred and twenty three proof is you
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: can tell you're drinking a high proof, but it's not slapping.
• 19:23

  Speaker 5: of the barrel, like you could just blind pour somebody
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: some swill bourbon.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: Right and you'd be standing in there doing that and
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: it would taste like the best whiskey in the world.
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: That's true.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, you have to see past that kind of
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean, because.
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: When you're in there, it is so overwhelming because it's fantastic.
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: Taste it before you water it, Okay, just to remind yourself.

• 22:06
  Speaker 4: I like a bunch of different bourbon. But that's that's

  Speaker 4: my main deal. You're listening to ESPN one oh five
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: nine the Zone. If you want to watch the show,
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: some of you will be jealous your work, but we

• 22:22
  Speaker 4: We are doing this is work. If you want to
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: watch the show, go to YouTube search out of down sports.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: Just to remind your palette what it was like.
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: Okay, it's like what Nathan's about to walk us through
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: on the flavor profiles, and I love this. There's three.
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: There could be more than this, but there's three different
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: flavor profiles. There's neat, which is what Nate and I
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: just did.
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: What you're talking about methods, the way that we're drinking it,
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: not necessarily flavor profiles.
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: That's right, yeah, yea yeah, the way that we're drinking it.
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: And then a lot of times, you guys and ladies
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: are gonna get together and you're gonna you're gonna taste
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: it neat. Then you're gonna put a couple of drops
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: of water on it, which Nate just did. And then
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: some of you are gonna get a little bit of
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: ice for the third one, and you're gonna get a
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: different flavor profile or taste yeah and all three.
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So I mean it just it just opens everything up.
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: It proofs it down a little bit too, which makes
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: Suta talk about that it proofs it down from one
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: twenty three to whatever it winds up with after we
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: put the water in it. And it's not much water,
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: just for those of y'all that are listening. It's it's
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: literally just a few drops into into a you know,
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: a pore that we have. It's not like drinking bourbon
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: and water where they put a heavy shot of water
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: in it, you know. I mean, it's just a few
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: drops just to prove it down a little bit by volume,
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: and it just allows other flavors, uh, other layers of
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: that to really kind of stand up and totally different,
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: isn't it. But but it's like candy you talked about,
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: like it turns it into.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: Now the brown sugar caramel. Honey, this is beautiful, Jay Meadows.
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: Look at you. You're drinking some Elijah Craig barrel proof
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: barrel pick.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: I gave him a little water.
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you gave me a little water. It was a
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: very little little amount of water, that's right. Like how
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: much of a difference in that it's a big difference. Yeah, totally.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: And I mean that's the.
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: Way that I mean when you buy a bottle of
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: whiskey off the or bourbon whisky whatever, I call everything whiskey,
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: if it's brown, so forgive me, that's ninety proof. I
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: mean it didn't cut, it didn't come out of the
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: barrel like that. So I mean every every whiskey is
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: proofed down with water to get it to whatever the
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: producers desired.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: You know, Mark Is I love barrel proof stuff.
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, when I'm picking a barrel if I if I can,
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: and just because I don't know, it's it's a true
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: expression of what obviously is coming out of the barrel.
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: And like I said, it gives you a little gives
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: you a little headroom to kind of tweak it with
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: water ice. I mean, really, where this thing's gonna shine
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: is a good heavy pour into big block that's right,
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: that will melt slow.
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and a and a really good rocks glass.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: I do I like, I mean, I like everything I
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: drink to be chilled.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: Sure.
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: Like I said, I'll try everything neat, you know what
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: I mean, I'll try everything neat because I want to
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: see what it's like.
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: I may need to do one more like this and
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: then we'll do ice.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna do ice. I'm gonna do ice on
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: a fresh board.
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: Though, Okay, it's just another way to drink it.
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: I mean I can get two more glasses and we
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: can do a fresh board.
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: Oh I figured we were doing that anyway, like after
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: the that's break or something.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: Right now we can do it whenever. But yeah, the.
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: Transformation, this this one goes through with the addition of
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: a little water to it. Of all the picks that
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: we've done, no matter who the producer is, this is
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: the one that's been the most drastic to me, you
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: know what I mean, from from from the way that
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: is right out of the bottle to the way that
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: it is after a couple of drops, like it literally
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: turns it into just this, I don't know, candy delicious
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: drinking bourbon well. And and that's not taking anything away
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: from it straight out of the bottle, because if you
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: like drinking higher proof stuff, you sure love it because
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: you still get that depth and all those layers, right,
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: but you just really get that that punch of the
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: heat at the end, which.
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: And it just depends on what the the bourbon aficionado
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: or bourbon nerd wants, right, I mean, that's it's it's yeah.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: It's totally subjective.
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: So and that's that's a great point because when you're
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: picking a barrel of bourbon, no matter where it's coming
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: from or who's making it. As a retailer, there's a
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: lot of things to consider.
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, you're you're it's you're going through a lot
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: of See I'm just having fun right at the barrel pick. Yeah,
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: you are sitting there thinking this is going to be
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: in my store. Yep, there's that thirty percent that is
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: bourbon afficionado, bourbon nerds, and they are going to break
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: it down, and you're thinking about that is we're going
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: through all six barrels?
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: Sure?
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so yeah, I mean there's when I'm picking them,
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: there's definitely a.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: Degree of sellability, right, that goes into it.
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: Sure, But the the things that I have a bit
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: of a pro I personally have a process. So if
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: there's let's just say six options out there, I've got
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: two or three non starters for me just generally, no
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: matter what it is, I'm drinking, and I'll roll through
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: all of them real quick first and see if any
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: of them have what I for me, or are non starters, like.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: I'm done with that.
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: I don't want to try it again, right and if
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: it doesn't or if they do, I'll take them out.
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: If none of them do, then I'll start back over.
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: And then there's just characteristics that I look for to
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: be present. There's look, there's certain characteristics that I look
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: for to be not present. But the main thing that
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: I look for is balance just across the board front
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: palette to finish the heat.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: Like balance is the first thing.
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: And then the second thing is I look for something
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: that's atypical in that whiskey, right Like if I'm picking
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: Elijah Craig barrel Proof like we did, I don't. I
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: don't want to just pick one that tastes like a
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: great bottle of Elijah Craig barrel proof because the release
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: that they do from the distillery that's on the shelf
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: as Elijah Craig barrel Proof is fantastic, sure, and you
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: can get that right. So I'm looking for something in
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: there that's atypical to that whiskey, as long as it's
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: not a flaw or something that's you.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: Know, right off bad.
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: What you're looking for is something that jumps out at you.
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: Sets it apart from what you can buy on the
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: shelf otherwise exactly because it's finite, right, I mean, I'm
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: buying that barrel, so when it's gone, it's gone.
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: Well, and that's why there's so much fun, for sure, Yeah,
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: because a guy or a girl can take it home
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: to their house, to their bar and what we do,
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: as you know, which we've done with this but with
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: wine for years, you and I you share it with
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: someone and then it's a story and an experience. Yeah,
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: that's why barrel picks are so much fun.
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: Well, and and the bourbon community has gravitated towards store
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: picks in general so hard in the last shoot five
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: the handful of years, right because they're they were they
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: realized that, right, I mean all the all the all
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: the bourbons that are impossible to get. I could name
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: them all, you'll know all the names. They're great, they're
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: they're they're they're good bourbons. But I mean it's just
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: not worth you know, the juice isn't worth a squeeze
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: to go through all that headache and pay all that
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: money to get them. And folks started realizing, you know,
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: there's some there's some store picks out there that are
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: great and they're unique, you know, and so yeah, the
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: bourbon community is really really really falling in with the
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: with the picks, which is which is great because I
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: love them all Right.
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: The first Russell's Reserve you and I did was unbelievable. Yeah, Yeah, Okay,
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: this is the hall of fame. This is the this
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: is the Michael Jordan Tom Brady.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: Of all of our of all of ours are.
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: This is the Beatles, the Stones, I don't whatever you
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: want to say. This is it.
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's of all the picks that we've done together,
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: it's my favorite because it and that's not taking away
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: from any of the adults, because.
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: Look, single barrel you and I picked out eight or
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: nine was delicious.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: There's things about this whiskey that I like tremendously. The proof,
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: the balance of it, The balance of it right out
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: of the bottle at barrel proof, and the balance of
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: it even after it's been proofed down a little is
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: what I like the most because a lot of times
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: that can get thrown off at some point, but this one,
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: it just makes it shine in different ways.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: And I guess that's the part of it that I like.
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: The most Nathan Cardi on ESPN one oh five nine

• 32:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I watched it live and then I've probably watched
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: it two or three times since from starting to finish,
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: just because I think that I think that his speech
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: was perfectly laid out, and I'm sure that he had
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: obviously had a lot to do with that, if not
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: all of it, But it kind of mirrored his career
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: right like it was about gratitude, It was about.
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: It wasn't it wasn't about him.
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: It was about the support system that he had from
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: the city, from the organization and all of that that
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: enabled him and lifted him to the ability, you know,
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: to put him in a place to be able to
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: do the things he did.
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: Right no doubt, And can you believe that Miami screwed
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: it up so that you and other Saints fans could
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: live the dream for fifteen years of Drew and Shawn. Yeah,
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: I mean that that think about it.
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: Look whatever it takes, right, I mean, that's how things
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: like that work out for a reason, right. I mean
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: the surgery that taking the risk on in the Miami deal,
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, there was there was you.
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: Just never Sean went all in. I mean he talked
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: about it prior to They were like, you're our guy.
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: Miami put him through two hours of needles and everything else.
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: He was only eight weeks postop. Yeah, just wore him
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: out when he was down there and he could feel
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: that they weren't sold. And then New Orleans which was
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: hammered by Katrina, But Loomis and Shawn didn't even hit there,
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: You're our guy. Miami had it, it was done. He
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: was going to Miami. But he talked about it.
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: But isn't that one of the things that Peyton and
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: Loomis have been able to do. It Not to say
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: that they haven't had any had any misses, but for
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: the most part, they've had a really good record of
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: going that's the guy, right, and then it ends up
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: being the guy right, you know.
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: But yeah, and then I.
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: Can't remember the first August of them being at Millsaps
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: and Bank Plus invited me out there, Nate, to this
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: private scrimmage or something, and Drew was not throwing at
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: this time. He was still trying to work his way
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: through camp to be ready right after Labor Day weekend. Listen,
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: are you going to.
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: Pour one more of these? Yeah? For sure?
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: Okay, all right, I'm gonna reset. All right, So the
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: Elijah Craig barrel proof barrel pick is it? Briarwood wanted spirits,
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: And of course they open at ten am Monday through Saturday.
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: And it's absolutely this is our bet. We've had some
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: great four roses, some great Russells reserve and they were
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: all wonderful and majestic and magical and so on. Yeah,
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: I do too, believe it or not. I've kept I
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: don't know how old that four rows of single barrel is.
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: It's got to be fifteen sixteen something years old, maybe more.
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: But and we've got Russells in the back. But yeah,
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: I need to hand you the bourbon. Nate is now
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: pouring on the rocks, which is beautiful. I'll go home
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: and take a nap.
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: Well, we don't have to drink it all. We're just
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: no get experience.
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: This is so beautiful. Cheers man, cheers for sure. We
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: had so much fun going to Heaven Hill and picking
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: out uh this Elijah Craig Beryl proof Beryl pick which
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: is at Briarwood wanted spirits look at me. So Nathan
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: was rubbing it in. I was. I was out of town.
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: I was at the beach over the weekend and Nate
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: breaks open the bottle on Friday, and so I had
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: to think about it all weekend. And now we're I'm
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: tasting it for the first time. This is Nathan's second
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: or third time whatever it is, Okay, oh yeah.
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: I mean that's the lick right there.
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: That is you know, that tastes like fall football, It
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: tastes like Thanksgiving, it tastes like Christmas. And what I
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: mean by that is that's something you pour with a
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: good friend or a family member and you just let
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: the bourbon. You just let the Elijah Craig Beryl pick
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: do the rest.
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: It's so good.
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, you know, the the the little bit
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: of rye in there gives it some spice. You get
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: the baking spices, so kind of the cinnamon clove, you know,
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: all that stuff you're talking about. But then you you know,
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: you still get the heavy dark you know, like brulet caramel.
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: This reminds me of an SEC football game kickoff at
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: six forty five at night, and you've got a reb
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: on the grill and you're about to binge watch three
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: to three and a half hours of Auburn, Georgia, Ole,
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: miss LSU, Mississippi State.
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: A and M.
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: That's what it reminds me of.
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: Day.
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: And I love corn whiskey too, I mean, that's the
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: thing about it. I mean it's seventy eight seventy five
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: to seventy eight depending on who.
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: You ask percent corn, which I like.
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: I like corn whiskeys, and I like weededs.
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: I love we with.
• 37:50
  Speaker 5: I don't love rye, but I love Elijah Craigs rye
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: because their rye is barely rye. It's like fifty one
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: percent rye, right, you know what I mean? And then
• 37:59
  Speaker 5: and then it's like twenty eight or thirty five corn
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: or something high, you know what I mean. So so
• 38:03
  Speaker 5: they're rye whiskey. Actually, I do really enjoy. But yeah,
• 38:09
  Speaker 5: their standard mash bill that this is based off of
• 38:11
  Speaker 5: is just is money at this proof.
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: And it's called bad math, which is great and I'm
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: bad at math anyway. But yeah, it just worked. When
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: you're it's a the experience is amazing. Everybody's talking and
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: so on. Now Nate's Nate's down there doing his thing.
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: I can just kind of be the social chairman or
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: whatever of the pick. I think it's Yeah, I mean
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: we've got we've had some large time because sometimes sometimes
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: it it takes an hour to do the pick, just
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: because you're in no hurry. It's beautiful.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: What's the thing before? Oh?
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: That was that was so much fun, just in general,
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: all those trips and going to that Bob Dylan bar.
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: What's it when you stay? I love I love? Yeah,
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: right when they draw it out of the Yeah, yeah,
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: the brass copper thing.
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's so much fun. Yeah, it's all part of
• 39:12
  Speaker 5: that experience. Like we were looking at those picks again
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: the other day.
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I sent you fourteen.
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I was like I needed a couple of picks
• 39:19
  Speaker 5: for the post, and I had some, but it was
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: just us like I didn't get any picks of us
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: actually at the table. I was like, hey, bo, you
• 39:26
  Speaker 5: got a couple of picks, and all of a sudden,
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: it's like, okay, yes, but yeah, I mean that's all.
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: That's all part of it. And they're all very different, right.
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: I mean that the room that we sat in for
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: the Heaven Hill experience, I mean, it's nice you're in
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: the rick House, but it's it's a it's a part
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: of the rick House that's been developed in a way.
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: To receive guests.
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: And look, that's right, you know, look shiny and all that,
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: you know. And then you look at the Four Roses experience.
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: They have their own room, right, It's it's also really
• 39:53
  Speaker 5: nice and all that. And then you think about the
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: Wild Turkey Russell's experience, where you're sweating your ass off
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: standing in a one hundred and forty degree rick House,
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: just standing there sweating. That's right with any number of Russells.
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: Bruce Russell, Yeah, with Bruce or who, yeah, pouring and
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: seeing Jim mister Jimmy at the you know, at the
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: store on the way out. I mean, so it's they're
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: all very different experiences and they're all fantastic in their
• 40:20
  Speaker 5: own right.
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: I agree with you. Everyone is different and they're all great.
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: It doesn't matter you know what direction you're going. The
• 40:27
