A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
Great show, listen to each episode multiple times until the next episode drops. Impartial, honest reviews (via blinds) that is far superior to other channels pushing hype or FOMO.
With Evernorth being mentioned so frequently in the recent episodes, how about comparing them to their sources (Sagamore and Green River)? Are those shelvers or LEs worthwhile? Do the NDPs have access to superior barrels or is it their blending?

An honest no nonsense bourbon pod of some of the best in the game. Always good for a laugh & a great way to keep up with the newest releases in the whiskey world. Would high recommend to anyone in the bourbon community!

Love the show! We went on a trip to KY(from Knoxville TN area) 7/2-7/5 to do some distillery tours and hunting…morning of 7/3 we went by Kroger near our hotel and there were people standing in line at the Kroger liquor store(Kroger has a liquor store?). We decided to stand in line and see what was available…got the #1 thing on my hunting list:Stagg 26A for 65 bucks! Bonus- it is delicious! They also had blanton barrel strength and most of the wellers. Went to Louisville for the weekend and enjoyed many samples and experiences. We listened to your show with Bruce Russell on the way to KY and it was great! Big thanks to our friends Mike and Carla for letting us use their collection to develop our palate and thanks to you guys for all your knowledge and the entertainment; your show on JD barrel proof rye helped me try one of my favorites(I have emptied 2 bottles so far). Looking forward to the evolving bourbon market and listening to your upcoming episodes!

If you’re looking for a podcast that hits as smooth as a well-aged wheated bourbon but packs the proof of a hazmat bottle, The Mash Up is exactly what your glass has been missing.
These guys are doing it right. It’s rare to find a show that balances genuine respect for the craft with the kind of banter that makes you feel like you’re sitting at the rickhouse bar with them. I spend a lot of time dissecting juice and dodging marketing hype, so I truly appreciate their authentic approach. They don't just talk about the whiskey; they capture the spirit of why we all fell in love with this hobby in the first place.
I’ve listened to their entire library!!
Whether you're a 'neat only' purist or just starting to build your shelf, give these guys a listen. They’ve earned a permanent spot in my rotation. Cheers, fellas—keep pouring the good stuff!
Nothing but love and respect!
