Hip-hop meets the highball glass in this episode of Beards, Bourbon, Whiskey as the crew cracks open Amber & Opal Whiskey—a new flavored expression backed by none other than Ja Rule.

Now you already know what time it is… when a celebrity-backed bottle hits the table, it’s either platinum… or it’s going double wood in the wrong direction. 👀

From the first pour, Amber & Opal steps in smooth—with a nose full of honey-drenched sweetness and a soft floral breeze that almost feels like it wandered in from a spring garden instead of a rickhouse. But here’s where things get interesting…

Bo and Angry Principal?

Yeah… they’ve made it very clear in past episodes—they don’t rock with flavored whiskey like that. Not even a little bit. 😅

So what happens when a bottle like this lands in their hands as a gift straight from the company?

Do they keep it real?

Do they surprise themselves?

Or does this thing get sent back to the shadow realm of “nah, we good”?

Let’s just say… the verdict might not go the way you think.

This episode is more than just a review—it’s a conversation about:

The rise of celebrity spirits in hip-hop culture

Where flavored whiskey fits (or doesn’t) in the bourbon world

And whether sweetness can actually stand toe-to-toe with tradition

As always, the pours are honest, the takes are unfiltered, and the Detroit flavor is heavy.

🥃 Kentucky 10 Review... But Is This An Age Statement Tho? | Beards, Bourbon, Whiskey Podcast

This week on Beards, Bourbon, Whiskey, the bearded gang is back and extra sippin’ — featuring Q. Lewis, Bo, Angry Principal, and special guest co-host Executive Eddie.

The crew cracks open a bottle of Kentucky 10 Bourbon, a birthday gift to Q. Lewis that… let’s be honest… was already halfway gone before the camera started rolling 😅. Angry Principal thought “10” meant a 10-year age statement—but this ain't that.

Still, the BBW boys get deep on the nose, palate, and finish of this mystery-aged bourbon. Was it worth the pour? Or just another pretty label?

👃🏾👅🔥 Tune in to find out!
