Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, whiskey freaks. In this episode I bounce all over the place like a bourbon-fueled pinball machine. We’ve got some bourbon news, a bizarre new release you’re not gonna believe, a quick detour into Beavis & Butt-Head territory, a rock and roll rant that I definitely needed the “Relax!” sound clip for, and finally a bold pour of Joseph Magnus Cigar Blend Batch 228. It’s a little whiskey, a little nostalgia, and a big rant. Grab a pour and let’s get into it...

In this episode I almost take you on a deep dive into pumpkin spice lattes and teenage TikTok meltdown culture, but luckily for everyone involved, I pull the plug before we all lose IQ points. Instead we get into the good stuff. I cover the “new releases” from Heaven Hill and Wild Turkey and then I give you the update on the Ezra Brooks 99 Traeger Smoker Sweepstakes where I somehow won a grill without losing my identity or my dignity. I share three bourbons that will make you look like ...

2025/11/18

In this episode, I dive headfirst into one of the most heated debates in the whiskey world: is it time to retire Booker’s bourbon? Yeah, I said it. And judging from the comments y’all sent in, some of you were ready to fight me in a Kroger parking lot over it. Before we get into the madness, I break down the latest whiskey news, including Buffalo Trace dropping a 125 proof Sazerac Rye and Michter’s launching a 20 year bourbon whiskey that’ll cost you your marriage and at least one kidney.

2025/10/07

Whiskey Freaks! It’s the Splash n Dash edition of the Blind Tasting Podcast, where I skip the history lesson and dive headfirst into a blind battle between two 18-year-old heavyweights. Elijah Craig 18 and Knob Creek 18. Same age, same price, but totally different vibes. I break them down, blind, to find out which bottle is actually worth dropping $180 on. And as always, there's no distillery freebies, no filters, just brutally honest bourbon talk. Grab a pour (maybe not Traveller), h...

Hey whiskey freaks, on this new episode, forget life’s big questions. No upside-down pineapples, no soul-searching. It’s all bourbon, all the way. We’re diving into the 2025 Pappy drop (good luck getting any), revisiting a rare smoked Ben Holladay bourbon to see if it still hits like it did months ago, and talking stocks: because apparently, I own both Brown-Forman and MGP, and I like to buy when everyone else panics. There’s a charity barrel pick to shout about, canned bourbon cocktails, and...

But the main event? My review of Booker’s 2025-02 By the Pond. Spoiler alert: I think it might be time to send Booker’s out to pasture. Yeah, I said it. Don’t come at me, bro, I’ve got reasons. Grab a pour, lean back, and let’s stir the pot on whether Booker’s has run its course. You mi...

Welcome back whiskey freaks. This episode kicks off with some “bad news” you won’t want to miss, then we roll straight into the madness of bourbon heritage season. There’s plenty of whiskey news to sort through, and of course, a review that caught me off guard. I’m tasting Cask House Triple Cask, finished in rye barrels at 116.58 proof. Say what? Yeah, I know. A bottle that looks plain, sounds questionable, and costs about as much as a fast-food combo meal. So is it a Keep It, a Collect...
