About this episode

This episode features a taste off between Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Rye and Old Overholt 12 Year Rye.

We often have quite a bit to say about Heaven Hill and Jim Beam. When we were planning for this episode, it was only supposed to be about Elijah Craig. But then, we found a bottle of Old Overholt 12 Year Rye and said, "Why not try them together?" Elijah Craig Rye is a relatively new venture for Heaven Hill and Old Overholt is a brand that Beam acquired in the 1980s. If you want brand history - this isn't the episode for you. This week, we have a goog ole' taste off between two ryes that are relatively similar in age and proof. What the results? You'll have to listen to find out. One thing is for certain...rye whiskey is delicious and more people need to try it. -------------------------- Socials IG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupky FB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupky YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupky Join our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcast Partnership(s) Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUP Music: All the Fixings by Zachariah Hickman Thank you so much for listening!
