Our Editor's Take

Bourbon Pursuit is a delightful podcast for new and seasoned whiskey connoisseurs alike. Hosts Kenny, Ryan, and Fred help listeners learn all there is to know about the time-honored spirit. They visit some of the world's most iconic distilleries and provide note-by-note whiskey tasting reviews. This podcast is a conversational, engaging way to discover new distilleries and whiskey brands.

From Ancient Age to Yamazaki, if there's a bourbon on the shelf, this podcast will discuss it. The three Bourbon Pursuit hosts talk to master distillers to explore the distillation process. They also explain the difference between single-barrel and straight rye whiskey. They teach listeners what qualifies a whiskey as bourbon. Plus, they explore the historical significance of whiskey in Kentucky towns like Louisville and Bardstown. Kenny, Ryan, and Fred talk through classics, limited editions, and fresh-bottled whiskeys. If there is breaking bourbon news, this podcast is the place to find it.

Bourbon Pursuit listeners also learn about the hosts themselves. The three discuss their personal whiskey collections and adventures of finding rare bottles. They share their first encounters, including good old college whiskey and Coke. And listeners find out how, for these three, a love for whiskey comes with a love for hunting.

Each host brings unique experience, knowledge, and passion to the show. Kenny has loved all things whiskey for decades. Ryan is a Kentucky native who grew up in the state's rich bourbon culture. Fred is a celebrated author and the founder of Bourbon & Beyond, a renowned whiskey festival. Their expertise and banter result in a captivating listen.

The Bourbon Pursuit podcast releases new episodes every few days. It is great for listeners of shows like Dads Drinking Bourbon and The Bourbon Hunters.

Whiskey YouTube has soared in popularity and there's more content than ever to consume. But there's one channel where two guys take a view that whiskey shouldn't be taken so seriously.

These guys started out as childhood friends and just couldn't leave each other's side. After ditching power lifting they decided to get into the whiskey space and as they put it, their initial lack of experience led to hilariously authentic early videos. We then take spin into their new whiskey brand, Evernorth.
