This week on the Bourbon Bytes Podcast, I’m covering major whiskey headlines from around the world — including:

🥃 A new cask strength Ardbeg release

And then… we get to the main event.

Last year, Green River Full Proof Bourbon was my #1 whiskey of 2025. Now they’ve released a Wheated Full Proof Bourbon — and I’m giving my honest, independent take; breaking down the nose, palate, finish, value, and whether this one earns a spot on my shelf.

Is it a worthy follow-up? Does swapping rye for wheat change the magic? And can it live up to the hype?

Let’s find out.
