E288 - Raconteur Rye Gemini I/II & Caleb's Crossing Blend of Straights  
Podcast: The Mash Up
Published On: Tue Sep 09 2025
Description: This is one of the most exciting shorts we've ever recorded. David Jennings is not only a good friend of the podcast, but he is also the proprietor or Caleb's Crossing and Raconteur Rye. This coincides with the newest releases from both brands. The fourth releases from Raconteur are actually two bottles: Gemini I (Indiana) and Gemini II (Kentucky). Both of these expressions are 95/5 ryes with different Mizunara oak finishes, but because they have different states of distillation, David & James from Woodwork invite enthusiasts to decide which one they like better. We have a consensus opinion based on our tasting and we can't wait to see what others think when they start getting their hands on these bottles. The third release from Caleb's Crossing is a Bourye (blend of bourbon and rye). After two inaugural standouts from Caleb's Crossing, we taste this one and tell you how it stacks up with the previous releases. We really appreciate David providing us with these samples.
