🥃 323 Bourbon Library Podcast – BOTTLE BREAKDOWN | Woodwork Collective Raconteur Rye: Decode vs. Renegade 🥃

We're back with another episode of the 323 Bourbon Library Podcast, and this time Ronnie and Giancarlo are diving into the latest releases from The Woodwork Collective's Raconteur Rye Series — Decode and Renegade.

These two highly anticipated 12-Year Rye Whiskeys were generously sent over by the fine folks at The Woodwork Collective, and we couldn't wait to crack them open and see what all the buzz is about. Known for pushing the boundaries with unique blends and exceptional sourced whiskey, Woodwork Collective has quickly become a favorite among enthusiasts looking for something different.

In this episode, we break down the nose, palate, finish, proof integration, and overall experience of both releases while debating which bottle comes out on top. Does Decode tell the better story? Does Renegade steal the spotlight?

And because one comparison wasn't enough, we throw a bonus bottle into the mix — a Seelbach's 8-Year Single Barrel Raconteur Rye. How does this single barrel stack up against the new 12-year expressions? Which bottle delivers the best overall rye experience?

Tune in as Ronnie and Giancarlo put all three pours head-to-head and determine which Raconteur Rye deserves a place on your shelf.

🥃 323 Bourbon Library Podcast – Episode 010 | UNCATALOGUED: Banger or Bum? – Doc Holliday 15 Year "Buff-Turkey" 🥃

The UNCATALOGUED series returns with another blind tasting challenge, and this time the mystery bottle comes straight from Ronnie's collection.

For Episode 010, Ronnie cracks open a fresh bottle of Doc Holliday 15 Year "Buff-Turkey" and pours it blind for Giancarlo and special guest Shane (@rocksbourbonreview). With 15 years of age and a mashup of two legendary Kentucky flavor profiles behind its nickname, expectations are sky high before anyone even takes a sip.

As always, the crew goes in completely blind, breaking down the nose, palate, finish, proof, age, and value while trying to determine exactly what's in their glasses. Rich oak, dark fruit, caramel, spice, and plenty of surprises fuel the conversation as guesses begin to fly.

The real question is simple: Will Ronnie's fresh crack bottle impress Giancarlo and Shane enough to earn BANGER status, or will this highly anticipated pour leave the crew wanting more?

Tune in for another round of blind tasting, honest reactions, and plenty of bourbon banter as the crew decides whether the Doc Holliday 15 Year "Buff-Turkey" belongs in the library—or on the chopping block.
