What makes a great Tennessee Whiskey Single Barrel stand out?

On this episode, the team at Old Glory Distillery takes us through a guided tasting of their Tennessee Whiskey Single Barrel—a regular release that showcases what this distillery is all about.

We dig into the whiskey’s flavor, character, and single-barrel profile while learning more about what makes this expression a staple in the Old Glory lineup.

Sometimes the best bottles aren't limited releases or hard-to-find unicorns. They're the ones you can actually find and enjoy.

👉 Listen to the guided tasting and hear why we think Old Glory Tennessee Whiskey Single Barrel is worth checking out!

This Friday’s Blind Tasting Challenge comes courtesy of Patreon supporter Joe Schwartz, who sent us a bottle of Driftless Glen 10 Year Hazmat Bourbon.

We’ve already tasted a lower-proof version of this 10-year bourbon. Now the question is: Does the higher proof make this one better, or does the extra proof change the experience?

We’re tasting it blind, putting our palates to the test, and comparing this high-proof Driftless Glen 10 Year Bourbon to the one we tried earlier.

🔥 More proof. Same 10 years. Different experience?

🥃 128 Proof! | Casey Jones Mashbill #2 Tasting
Things get serious when Casey Jones Distillery pours us their Mashbill #2 at a powerful 128 proof.
During one of our tastings at Casey Jones, Cody, one of the distillery’s founders, gave us the opportunity to try this high-proof whiskey straight from the source.
At 128 proof, you expect plenty of heat—but this whiskey brought the flavor to match the proof. And it definitely did not disappoint.

Same Mash Bill. Same Distillery. Two Very Different Bourbons.

It’s another Friday Double Blind Tasting, and this time we’re putting two wheated bourbons from Boot Hill Distillery in Dodge City, Kansas head-to-head.

Both expressions use the exact same mash bill, but there’s a big difference between them. One is a regular release, while the other is a higher-age-statement single barrel.

Can we taste the difference without knowing which is which? Does the extra age and single-barrel character show up in the glass?

What happens when you create your own char level?

When we sat down with Adam Stumpf at Old Monroe Distilling, we had to talk about one of the most important—and often overlooked—parts of whiskey production: barrel char.

Adam gives us some insight into the custom char level Old Monroe is using, why they chose it, and what they’re trying to accomplish with their barrels.

For whiskey geeks, this is the kind of behind-the-scenes detail that can make a big difference in the final spirit.

Different char. Different whiskey.

👉 Listen and get an inside look at Old Monroe’s approach to barrel char.
