Kenny and Ryan are fantastic. Every time I listen to them or watch them on YouTube I can’t help but feel like a couple of my buddies made it into the inner circle and they are sharing the scoop over a pour. Great content all around.

Instead of complaining about ads, fast forward like everyone else does. Great podcast btw.

Nothing but ads. Ten minutes of drivel about what youre going to do and not enough doing. No more bro speak as well

Informative, Fun, Funny and Interesting. Superb podcast with truly knowledgeable hosts.

Whiskey

I don’t listen to any podcast more than Kenny and Ryan 🥃🥃

Today’s episode was not great. Your guest’s constant repetition of taking away cbd oil from kids with episode was irritating. THC and CBD are separate and should be regulated separately and I know that was his point but he seemed to be purposely confusing the issue or wanting to align his product with cbd. Either way, I’d rather hear bourbon content

Cool stuff

Information and entertainment for every level of enthusiast. Like having your friends over who have deep knowledge and experience, that can also explain something to everyone in the room.

The podcast is a must-listen for any bourbon or whiskey enthusiasts. The news are typically easy to digest and keeps me up to date on distillery happenings and new releases — give me ideas on which bottles are worth seeking. Love the variety of topics. Jojo Cleveland, OHHH-AYE-YO!

I never miss an episode! All episodes are entertaining and I’ve gained a wealth of knowledge about bourbon and the industry in general. They continue to be innovative while remaining entertaining

Love these guys

I can honestly say I have learned more about whiskey from this podcast than any other source I’ve come across. Excellent guests, fantastic information & just enough humor and snark to keep me entertained. I’ve tried them all. This is easily #1 and I highly recommend.

Updating my prior review (below) as it is more than 5 years old... While maintaining the sound and production quality, the two main hosts have grown in their knowledge of the bourbon/whiskey business (as they launched their own brand several years ago), and now their interviews reflect that experience while maintaining their fan-like curiosity regarding bourbon/whiskey. The podcast has also grown to include a weekly whiskey quick review, and a weekly new roundup, so there is a lot provided. ——— This podcast features a small set of guys providing the latest in bourbon news, interviewing people across the bourbon industry, or having an extended discussion about some bourbon topics in a 'roundtable' format. This podcast has been on since 2015, and the hosts have added new voices to the podcast. I feel last year's addition of Fred Minnick increased the focus of the discussions. Episodes are released weekly, and I look forward to each new episode. The interviews are interesting, and the sound quality is very good. You will learn a fair amount of bourbon knowledge by listening to this podcast.

Stick to bourbon. You have shown to be knowledgeable in that. Conspiracies are for the ill informed

Love the channel and the guys. I just wish you didn’t play behind the pursuit on bourbon pursuit. … it’s just comes off as a re run for those of us subscribed to behind the pursuit…. Personally I think behind the pursuit should just be a bonus episode on the main pod channel if anything it adds to content to followers you already have as opposed to try to get your already followers to also follow another channel.

Y’all focus way too much on bottle hunting and rare releases. I do like that y’all talk to different master distillers, but most of the master distillers you talk to are from the big companies. That’s all well and good. But there are so many other distilleries in Kentucky and elsewhere, you should open the bourbon trail book and see which ones y’all haven’t talked to. I’ve learned a lot from this podcast but I hope y’all don’t forget about the little guys. I’m from Pennsylvania and deliver liquor and wine and I see lots of brands and y’all cover a sliver of distilleries. I hope to hear more about these other distilleries and their stories. Keep up with the pursuit.

Love this podcast but the latest community round table episode was boring and just had one guy talking I’ll informed about issues he clearly doesn’t understand and with a clear bias about how important his own business benefits from proposed tax breaks. Get back to talking about bourbon.

These guys consistently deliver not just the latest news in the whiskey industry, but also thoughts and opinions from some big names in the review and writing community. Such a great mix of lighthearted, casual conversation with serious news and opinions.

Their podcasts are fun and informative. Their personalities are great and they bring on interesting guests. One of the few podcasts I consistently listen to. 5 stars.

First review but listening for several years. Kenny and Ryan get you behind the scenes. I’m big fan of their Pursuit Series as well

This is the best podcast available across any genre. Very professional and the industry knowledge and connections are unbeatable. Even topics I don’t think to be interesting are made interesting. Keep up the great work.

One. Kenny, stop saying Kinda. Two. Learn how to pronounce things before you start recording. Three. If Ryan were to keep his political views to himself.

This podcast got me into bourbon. I now am a full on enthusiast. I recommend this to everyone.

I’ve been listening to this podcast for years but now it comes across more as an infomercial for their Pursuit United brand.

Hey, everyone and their mother has a podcast now, but THIS is the podcast you need to listen to to learn more about distilled spirits and bourbon specifically. From their whiskey quickies to their in depth interviews with industry experts, Kenny and Ryan and bringing you the information you need to up your bourbon game! Thank you so much Kenny, Ryan, and all your other cohosts and guests for the work you out into this. Proud to be a Patreon supporter.

Right there with you

Bourbon pursuit is the best bourbon podcast! It’s the most organized and put together. There’s good balance between banter, jokes and information. Some other podcasts just get awkward and boring but not this one. Listened through episodes multiple times as I have a long commute. Love this show!

Great podcast, been listening for years but please cut out intros and goodbyes from round table. 20 minutes of the same thing every time..

Best whiskey podcast! You guys already knew that though

I listen every week and these guys are just so fun and knowledgeable and laid back. They give terrific takes and I love their friendship and chemistry. Would love to meet them someday or see them do a live show in person! Keep it up dudes!

Love the show have listened for a while but it feels like they’re going money hungry. 3 ads per break, constantly pushing their brand, and haven’t given small craft companies interviews in a while

Been listening for years and also have been a patron as well. Keep up the good work guys!

The guys are a great team. Learn something from every episode aired. They bring in a variety of guests from the industry, fields that you wouldn’t think of and give you a new perspective for it. They are constantly improving themselves. Look forward to the Thursday episode drops and when that round table episode comes in it’s gone by Thursday afternoon! Keep it up guys!

I can’t overstate how much I look forward to this podcast coming out each week. Ryan, Kenny, and Fred have turned my interest in bourbon into a full blown hobby. Not one where I collect bottles and admire them on the shelf, but one of discovery and exploration as I try different brands and releases. I really appreciate all the hard work you guys put in, and especially the educational content!

I get excited each week knowing there is going to be a new episode. Kenny and Ryan are super down-to-earth and entertaining. They have a ton of bourbon knowledge and interview all the heavy hitters in the industry. Fred Minnick provides the type of input you would expect from an industry expert. The community round tables bring together a lot of bourbon enthusiasts who are making big contributions to the hobby with their own websites and opinion publications. This podcast is a great introduction for the bourbon beginner but also provides a ton of content that will satisfy the biggest bourbon geek. Finally, the production value is top notch, and the podcast flows effortlessly throughout. Do yourself a favor - listen and subscribe. Cheers!

The quality of this show makes it a priority among my podcasts. I’m looking for the next drop and placing it at the top immediately. If this show were a bourbon, it would be so expensive and rare and allocated, but the difference here is that everyone can enjoy it. Keep up the good work. Cheers!

The quality of the show and insights provided are the best out there. For me it sets the standard for what a Bourbon podcast should be like. I really liked the recent series “Is bourbon broken.” It gave many different viewpoints on how to understand what has been happening with bourbon over the past 15 years and where it is going. Keep up the great work gentlemen!

Kenny and Ryan are great and have been doing this for years. They are honest and thoughtful about what is right and wrong in the industry. They also bring on quality guests who know the industry. A must listen. Keep up the good work guys!

Really love the new TWiB show! Get all the news in bourbon for the week in one podcast. Excellent idea guys! Always listen to the original BP podcast too! Keep up the good work guys!

Well produced, great content, and extremely knowledgable hosts. My go-to for bourbon news, release info, and reviews.

If you’re into bourbon, this is your podcast. The hosts are down to earth guys who are knowledgeable and genuine. Fred’s Above the Char segment is always informative. There are always great topics with industry guests, great reviews, and bourbon news. Listen/subscribe now!

Just listened to episode 323. Normally I like the show but I was very disappointed today. The round table talked about the heaven Hill strike, but they didn’t mention that heaven hill is a sponsor of the show. Their reporting of the strike seemed to be very pro management and dismiss the unions grievances. Additionally it sounded like the guys had previously crossed the picket line to do a barrel pick while workers were on strike at 4 Roses. In the past I’ve listened to the show more for industry news, because usually I don’t care that much for their tasting notes. Overall though really weak reporting, including when Fred said “a strike may have killed Pappy Van Winkle.” If you aren’t going to support the strike, I just wish they’d give more insight into why these working class people are striking, instead of just saying these things happen.

By far the most informative podcast available. No drunken nonsense, everyone is knowledgeable, and interviews with industry who’s who are great.
