Who are the hosts of Truth in the Barrel and what is this episode about?
Hi, everyone. I'm Amy McGrath, and I'm here with Denver Riggleman, and this is Truth in the Barrel, The Devil's Cut. Love this. Love this. And, you know, today, before we get into the incredible story of Golden Dome, which, you know, it sounds sort of like one of the kids books, like everybody poos, you know, it's just sort of weird. Yeah, we're talking today about Trump's new shiny idea of a Golden Dome missile defense system, which he has decided we need. based on Israel's Iron Dome system. And so this is really important because it's a massive amount of money. And we need to talk about the potential for this system, why we might need it, and how kind of crazy it is. But first, I'm going to hand it back over to you, Denver, because this is Truth in the Barrel, and we got to talk whiskey.
What is the Whiskey of the Day and why is E.H. Taylor's Small Batch Bottled in Bond special?
We got to talk whiskey because it is a devil's cut episode and pretty special. By the way, if everybody out there, you need to know, you can always join in the fun, the education, the incredible insight into what's happening every day by making sure that you download us on your favorite pod. And you subscribe to our YouTube channel. And you can actually see us on all the socials, Amy. I mean, we're pretty brave. We've been on True Social, on X, we're on Blue Sky, just everywhere that you can find Truth in a Barrel, look us up. And then you get to hear things like Golden Dome and also Whiskey Tastings. And today, Amy, I have E.H. Taylor's Small Batch bottled in Bond, which is very interesting because Now, people are like, what is bottled and bond? And so E.H.
Taylor, I don't know if people know this, why this is so cool. E.H. Taylor was one of the first people to lobby for bottled and bond to ensure that distillers had tax breaks. So what does that mean, bottled and bond? What does that mean? Yeah, bottled and bond is a four-year whiskey that you're already paying the taxes on it, but it has to be at 100 proof, right? It has to be bottled at 100 proof. So when you have a bottled and bond, you have a straight whiskey, right? over four years old that's bottled at 100 proof that's already been taxed it's been bottled in bond or in a bonded warehouse so pretty cool right yeah so in each taylor this is a bottled and bond this is very very traditional and if people know the history they're gonna love it each taylor started multiple distilleries around the around the country well in kentucky but but his stuff is everywhere and by the way this used to be a like a jim beam product do you know who bought this
Buffalo Trace. This is now distilled at Buffalo Trace's distillery, which I know, Amy, you're a Buffalo Trace fan. So we're looking at a bottled and bond E.H. Taylor. If people go look up E.H. Taylor, incredible, the distilleries he started. The distillery that he started today is actually Castle and Key. I don't know if you know that, Amy. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Been there. Castle and Key, right? So Castle and Key rebuilt the original distillery. By the way... Gosh, I'm trying to remember the distillery's name. Two of the distilleries that E.H. Taylor started are now the baseline for Buffalo Trace Distilleries. So incredible history. E.H. Taylor is just an amazing person. And how does it taste? Well, we're going to do it now. I'm going to pop the cork.
I don't know if you could hear that, but I'm going to do a little, Ooh, a nice little pour. So here we go. So let's see, you know, let me get the nose real quick, but okay. I have a Glencairn class today for the nose. I haven't had my small batch in a while. This is special for you, Amy, as always. Oh, you know what the nose is? You know, I have an awful palate. Like my wife's, like I like it or don't, right? But, you know, my wife could tell you, but it's almost like a little cherry. Okay. Like with mint. Okay, cherry mint. But then you have this sweetness, but you have this little sweetness underneath. It's almost, to me, it's almost more peanut buttery than butterscotch. Okay. So anyhow, that's what, and I love anything at Bottled and Bond. So cheers.
