Whiskey Freaks, we’re havin’ a good time today. I run through a pile of new whiskey releases from folks like Michter's, Barrell Craft Spirits, and Maker's Mark, talk about a new bourbon inspired by the show Peaky Blinders, and tell the wild story of a sealed bottle discovered in an old mining town near Alta, Utah from 150 years ago.

Blind Tasting Podcast ·

2026/03/03

Maker’s Mark just slapped a 7 year, 3 month age statement on their Cask Strength Straight Bourbon Whisky, and the bourbon world is buzzing. But is it actually better than the “old” version…or is this just a fancy new label and an extra inch of glass? I pour ’em side by side (not blind, don’t judge me), break down the nose, palate, finish, and decide once and for all: Keep It, Collect It, or Cull It.

Today I’ve got a little bit of everything for the whiskey freaks. I talk about Woodford Reserve dropping Double Double Oaked and why a ninety proof, 700ml bottle at $199.99 might require a conversation at home before you buy it.
