Trout Wrangler Podcast Season 2, Ep. 59 — Buttery Brown Bourbon: Where Trout and Tradition Meet

On today's episode of The Trout Wrangler Podcast, we're joined by Chris, founder of Buttery Brown Bourbon, to talk about the intersection of two timeless passions — fly fishing and fine bourbon. Chris shares how his fly fishing journey began and what inspired him to create a bourbon brand rooted in the culture of the "buttery brown" trout. We dive into the story behind the brand name — a tribute to both the buttery brown trout and the smooth, brown, buttery liquid — and explore how those two worlds blend together in the identity of Buttery Brown Bourbon. We also discuss the balance between bourbon craftsmanship and fly-fishing storytelling, how the brand authentically connects with both audiences, and the challenges that come with building a boutique bourbon label with a strong outdoor narrative. Finally, Chris gives us a look at what's next for Buttery Brown Bourbon — from potential collaborations and limited releases to future fishing and lifestyle experiences tied to the brand — before wrapping up with his five Trout Tunes playlist picks, presented by Afuera Coffee. 🎣 This episode is brought to you by Riversmith.
