Carey owns a barbecue restaurant by the same name in Nashville, Tennessee, and says there's a lot in common between being a pit master and a whisky maker — but he'll never call himself a master distiller. Bringle has just released a "Spirit of America" Tennessee Bourbon to celebrate America's 250th anniversary, and we'll have tasting notes for it, too. In the news, the American Distilling Institute has announced the winners of its 2026 spirits competition, with Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Rye taking home the title of "America's Best Whiskey." ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/whiskycast-538427/episodes/barbecue-and-bourbon-go-together/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/whiskycast-538427/barbecue-and-bourbon-go-together.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
