A red phone booth with a secret code, a member-run whiskey sanctuary with thousands of bottles, and a high-wheat bourbon that turns into our new house pour—this one moves fast and lands where it counts. We kick off with Nashville’s speakeasy culture and the remarkable Whiskey House, a community hub that raises serious money for charity while reminding us why whiskey is best shared, not hoarded.

From there, we ride straight into release season. Eagle Rare 12 hits shelves earlier this month, King of Kentucky returns with an 8th edition that tests the limits of scarcity and value, and Buffalo Trace stirs the pot by slipping a surprise E.H. Taylor 15-year bonded into the Antique Collection lineup. We talk real-world availability, aftermarket chaos, and how to decide which bottles are worth chasing vs which ones are worth drinking.

Then we pour what we’re most excited about: Bardstown Bourbon Company’s Origin Series High-Wheat. At 106 proof and a mashbill of 53% corn, 39% wheat, and 8% malted barley, it’s a calm, confident sipper with an earthy-fruit nose, cherry and peach vibes, vanilla cream, and a caramel-toffee palate that finishes sweet with a gentle hug. No gimmicks, no stunt finishing—just a clear, delicious point of view at around $50. We explain why it shines in an old fashioned, how it stacks up against classic wheaters like Weller and Maker’s Mark, and why it earns the title “bourbon drinker’s bourbon.”

If you love whiskey talk that respects both the chase and the pour, you’ll feel right at home. Subscribe, share with a friend who loves a good value pick, and drop a comment with the bottle you’re hunting this season. Your house pour might be one listen away.
