This week on Chill Filtered, the listeners voted — and Cole and Bryan delivered. The pour? A double feature from Crowded Barrel Whiskey Company in Texas: Eleanor (Batch 17) Porto Finished Bourbon — A & B. Two nearly identical bourbons with just one difference — one was distilled in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, and the other in Bardstown, Kentucky. Same finish, same specs — but will the origin state make the difference?

Before sipping, the guys talk recent whiskey finds, Emma’s domination of the baby-walking world (hello, 99th percentile!), and the unique, community-driven history of Crowded Barrel.

On Whiskey World News, Bryan highlights a massive Four Roses 21-year release that has everyone talking. And on "What Whiskey Would You Choose?", the boys ask: What whiskey did you grow up on? That is — when you were first getting into whiskey, what was your go-to pour before your palate evolved?
