Can Sydney Sweeney Save Whiskey, I.W. Harper Has...

Blind Tasting Podcast ·

2025/08/20

What if Sydney Sweeney suddenly started chugging Jack Daniels? I’m dreaming big, whiskey freaks. Next, I dive into I.W. Harper’s wild 34-year-old bourbon auction mixing rainbow flags with rickhouse pride since bourbon apparently needed a parade float. Then we head north to Canada where tariffs have created a bourbon shortage causing some serious bar drama. After that, I break down the bold new Parker’s Heritage release from Heaven Hill featuring pure bourbon badassery. I also shamelessly plug...

This episode’s got a little bit of everything for the whiskey freaks. I shamelessly plug my new book on Amazon, Whiskey Wisdom & Bourbon B.S.: Barrel Strength Legends, Lies, and Untold Tales (because if I don’t tell you to buy it, who will?), right here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FLNGXJL3 Then we dive into Wild Turkey’s recent sales slump and what it says about the bigger bourbon market. Spoiler alert: it ain’t pretty. I also take a look at the big dogs like Brown-Forman and MGP, talk s...

NEW BOOK ALERT! -- Whiskey Wisdom & Bourbon B.S.: Barrel Proof Legends, Lies, and Untold Tales From the host of the Blind Tasting Podcast comes a barrel-proof mashup of fact, folklore, and flat-out fiction. Right Here on Amazon Kindle Books: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FLNGXJL3 Did bourbon really age in a sunken ship? Did moonshiners use possums as lookouts? Was a World Series fixed over a bottle of rye? Some of it happened. Some of it almost happened. And some of it… well, let’s ju...

2025/08/05

This week, I take a closer look at 1792 Bottled-in-Bond Straight Bourbon Whiskey to see if it deserves a spot on your shelf. Just honest tasting and unvarnished truth. I also break down the latest unicorn bait from Buffalo Trace: Sazerac 100, Weller Millennium #2, and even Weller 18. Will you ever see one in the wild? Not unless you know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy in Kentucky. Also in the whiskey multiverse: a distillery in California is aging barrels by blasting them with music. T...

Blind Tasting Podcast ·

2025/07/29

Welcome in, whiskey freaks! In this episode, I taste Kilbeggan Triple Cask Irish Whiskey, straight from the Emerald Isle, courtesy of a friend with excellent timing and terrible impulse control. But before the review? We’ve got news. Buffalo Trace is recycling sludge. The Field of Dreams is building the Infinity Bottle of baseball whiskey. TSA rules are somehow getting weirder. And Barrell Craft dropped a 142.7 proof Canadian HAZMAT that may or may not melt your soul. There’s also a rant. The...

Whiskey Freaks! In this episode, we take a wild ride through the worst whiskey experiences y’all shared with me. From regret and trauma to plastic screw tops. From Jack Daniel’s to Mellow Corn to anything labeled “Canadian,” we run through The Pours That Haunt Us. But it’s not all pain and palate punishment. I’ve also got new releases from Jim Beam, Jefferson’s, Old Forester, Still Austin, and Starlight Distillery, including one with barrels so fancy they practically wear ascots. And finally,...

So instead, we’re diving into some wild whiskey headlines, including Buffalo Trace’s crazy new “Distiller’s Council” release, Jim Beam’s new Lineage Batch 2, Rebel’s award-winning 10-Year, and a Texas distillery doing real good in the world.

It’s go-time on this week’s Blind Tasting Podcast! We dig into the Pinhook Straight Rye Whiskey 2022 Edition, aka “Rye Munny,” a bottle that’s been on my radar for months. We break down fresh releases, from Heaven Hill to Wild Turkey, plus the bourbon buzz that’s got everyone talking. There’s wax seals flying, cocktail ideas flowing, and some big names making bold moves—though not all of them are scoring wins. Oh, and I rant a little because, well, it’s me. So grab your glass, hit play,...

Welcome to the Splash n Dash edition of the Blind Tasting Podcast—where we skip the backstory and get straight to the sipping. Today I crack open WhistlePig’s PiggyBack 100% Rye, and yeah… we need to talk about that oddly specific 96.56 proof. Who proofed this—an accountant? I break down the whiskey, question the Canadian sourcing mystery, and wrestle with whether this $50 bottle deserves a spot in your cabinet. Is it just a fancy mixer, or something more? And of course, I deliver the final v...

Today on the Blind Tasting Podcast, I crack open two unopened bottles I’ve had sitting around for a while—both scored for cheap—and pit them against each other in a head-to-head matchup. We’re talking Member’s Mark Small Batch Bourbon (yes, the Sam’s Club special) vs. 1792 Small Batch from Barton. Are they cousins? Brothers? The same whiskey in different clothes? I bought both bottles myself, so you’re getting the honest truth—no freebies, no fluff. Let’s find out if you can save a few bucks…...

From export numbers and price hikes to major layoffs and closures (looking at you, Brown-Forman and Garrard County Distilling), we dig into whether tariffs are to blame or just part of a bigger industry shift. Are whiskey prices going up? Who’s really paying the cost? And is the bourbon boom finally slowing down? We’ve got questions—and our finance expert has some hot takes. Plus, I sneak in a perso...

2025/03/26

The Holladay Ancient Cave Collection features bourbon aged in experimental barrels for a secondary finish. Each one starts in a new, level 3 charred white oak barrel, and they age it for at least six years in Rickhouse B or C. Then, (this is where the magic happens….) select barrels from the first floor of those warehouses are then re-barreled to apply a secondary finish. In this case, in a level 1 char hickory smoked barrel. I finally got my hands on one and I'm sharing it here with you on t...
