Back in the day, people were partying in an underground nightclub inside a cave... and when the city tried to shut it down, they got creative. Let's just say bourbon still found its way in🥃

Fast forward to today- same cave, but now it's a tourist destination and wedding venue!

The Lost River Cave is running a fundraiser, Bourbon for Butterflies, with a raffle loaded with heavy-hitting flights:

Pappy. Blanton's. BTAC. Weller.

We sat down with Justin from the Lost River Cave to break it all down- history, the cause, and how you can get in on the raffle

On this episode of Only Bourbon Fans, we dive into two of ASW Fiddler picks, courtesy of our friends at Pour More: the Fiddler Encore, a tequila-finished bourbon, and their Toasted Rye.

On this episode of Only Bourbon Fans, we check out three Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Barrel Proof store picks and see how they stack up. Same bottle, different stores—each one drinks a little differently in its own way.

In this episode, we put Maker’s Mark Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Knob Creek 9 Year, and Russell’s Reserve 10 Year to the test and see which one actually stands out. We’re tasting them blind, comparing notes, and trying to lock in our rankings before the bottles get revealed.

Three bourbons. One blind taste test.
This week, we pour Woodford Double Oaked, Old Forester 1910, and Elijah Craig Toasted without knowing which is which. We compare tasting notes, talk about toasted vs. double-oaked barrels, and see which bottle actually wins when the labels disappear.

Only bourbon fans welcome Alex Shaw to talk about where whiskey enjoyment meets weight loss. He shares his journey from personal trainer to the creator of Whiskey Weight Loss and how he’s found a way to balance a healthy lifestyle while still enjoying a good pour.

Alex breaks down practical tips for fitting alcohol into a weight loss plan, why relationships in the whiskey community matter, and the science behind whiskey calories. He gets real about how whiskey affects sleep, appetite, and hydration, and shares strategies for staying on track without extreme dieting.

They also touch on sugar in modern diets, what consumers expect from new whiskey releases, and wrap up with rapid-fire questions that reveal Alex’s personal favorites and insights. It’s a refreshing take on enjoying life without sacrificing your health.

This episode was supposed to be Blind #2…until someone stole Zack’s sample. So much for a blind tasting! Even with that chaos, we dive into some of our favorites - Bibb and Tucker, ASW, and more—sharing what we love about each. Plus some big news about our own whiskey, Old Lore Whiskey Company, and what’s coming next.

It’s the first episode of the new year, and The Only Bourbon Fans crew is kicking things off with a brand-new blind tasting series.

They introduce a new review series focused on classic, often-overlooked whiskeys—bottles that deserve more love and make great everyday pours. For the first blind tasting, they dive into three high-proof favorites: Wild Turkey Rare Breed, 1792 Full Proof, and Old Forester 1920.

The Guys chime in with their thoughts on each whiskey and whether these classics still deserve a spot on your shelf.

In this episode, we break down Found North’s Snow Day, a special release whiskey that showcases everything they do best—crazy blending, multiple mash bills, and serious age statements, all bottled at 115 proof. We dive into what makes this 10-year blend stand out and why it grabbed our attention.

Snow Day is currently sold out, but if this bottle sounds like your kind of pour, you’ll want to keep an eye on the second release coming next year. Make sure to join the email list on Found North’s website so you don’t miss it.

Only Bourbon Fans hang out with whiskey enthusiast Matt Kusek for a conversation about what makes great whiskey worth the hype. They cover single barrels, favorite brands, limited releases, dusty bottles, and where the whiskey world is headed. It’s a pour-worthy episode you won’t want to miss.
