Series: The Blind Pig Pilot Podcast

Hosts: Whiskey Whiskers & Aviatrix

Segment: The Whiskey Showdown

In this special mini-episode, Whiskey Whiskers and Aviatrix taxi down an entirely new runway — a blind whiskey tasting competition we’re calling The Prohibition Pour-Off.

With a “live audience member” offering his own brand of commentary (he’s only ten months old, after all), the crew lines up three bourbons: Garrison Brothers Lady Bird, Elijah Craig 10-Year Single Barrel (58 Wine & Liquor Pick), and Bardstown Old Scout. The challenge? Rank them blind, guess which is which, and see who earns bragging rights for the best palate.

Between playful banter, mic mishaps, and a few toddler-level jokes, the team uncovers an unexpected winner — and a new household rule: always buy two bottles when you find something great.

Tune in for laughter, honest tasting notes, and the launch of the new Whiskey Challenge leaderboard — now live at blindpigpilot.com.

1️⃣ Garrison Brothers Lady Bird — Smooth, rich, and the unanimous favorite.

2️⃣ Elijah Craig 10-Year (58 Wine & Liquor NY Pick) — Classic depth, balanced heat.

3️⃣ Bardstown Old Scout — Bold but brash, strong finish.

Scoreboard: Both Whiskey Whiskers and Aviatrix ranked them 1–2–3 in the same order. Correct guesses: 1/3 each.
