Today’s episode is packed with news, flavor notes, and a budget bourbon showdown you didn’t know you needed.
First, we dive into the latest releases from Blade & Bow, Willett, and Castle & Key, including a 30-year Blade & Bow monster, Willett’s new Family Estate Small Batch Bourbon, and Castle & Key’s wheated and rum-finished experiments. Some of it sounds incredible, some of it sounds…like the marketing team lost a bet, but it’s all worth talking about.
Then it’s time for the main event: a head-to-head tasting of Evan Williams Black Label and Old Forester 86 Proof. Same proof, similar specs, totally different personalities. Which one brings more flavor, more value, and more reasons to keep it on your shelf? I break down color, nose, palate, finish, and which pour punches above its price.
