E406 - Marquee Small Batch Bourbon

Marquee Exclusive Small Batch Bourbon is an innovative release by New Era Distillery based in Lexington, Kentucky. It breaks away from traditional distillery practices by relying on a rotating panel of "tastemakers" to create blends. Back in episode 278, we had Zane Brammell (owner and founder) on to talk about all things NEWS. Zane is back for this episode to tell us all about how Marquee came to be. Marquee Bourbon is blended by the community for the community. The very first batch of Marquee just released. It is limited and only available in Kentucky. However, it was created and blended by 9 "tastemakers" which consisted of bartenders, enthusiasts, spirits writers, and others including our own Kenny Mills. These folks engaged in a friendly whiskey blending competition and it resulted in the first batch of Marquee which is 94 proof and retails for $49.99. So join us this week for this spirited episode as we catch up with Zane, taste some good bourbon, and talk about what's next for NEWS and Marquee. -------------------------- 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!
