A Whisper of Smoke with Burnt Tavern

Send us a textJoin us for an epic dive into bourbon history and flavor on this episode of Bourbon with Friends! We're cracking open the story behind Burnt Tavern Bourbon, a brand-new Kentucky gem that's already turning heads with its twice-burned, reborn legacy. Hosts Bryan, Jerm and Joe chat with founders Bennett Clark and Royce Blevins about unearthing a 1790s frontier tavern in Garrard County, KY, sourcing killer 7-year-old bourbon, and teaming up with whiskey legend Chip Tate (Balcones founder) for a signature "whisper of smoke" finish.From archaeological digs uncovering barrel rings and family artifacts to dreams of rebuilding the tavern as a craft distillery, this convo is packed with rich history, tasting notes (think charred wood, burnt orange peel, caramel, and subtle spice at 100+ proof), and insider tips on the booming bourbon scene. Whether you're a history buff, whiskey newbie, or seasoned sipper, you'll love how Burnt Tavern ties liquid gold to Kentucky's wild past.Tasting Highlights:Nose: Inviting whisper of smoke, coconut, and burnt orange peel.Palate: Complex dance of oak, caramel, vanilla, and rye spice.Finish: Smooth with a smoky linger—perfect neat or on the rocks.Pour one out with friends—because a bourbon with friends can change the world.
