Fresh off episode 300, the fellas are all back in the saddle and ready to taste some hazmat bourbon. Rare Character has been delivering unique and sought after single barrels and blends for nearly four years. This brand has been as hot as any NDP on the market in recent times. For this episode, we taste and review a Hazmat Brook Hill Bourbon selected by OBC Kitchen and a Hazmat Single Barrel selected by Liquor Barn. We love when we can taste and review bottles that were selected by great local businesses, especially when they are over 140 proof! Join us this week as we share a lot of laughs and debut a new segment called "Kenny's Culinary Experiences." Whether you are curious about the whiskey or the new segment, we can promise you one thing: you will laugh. Cheers!

Thank you so much for listening!

We wanted to roll into episode 300 with pomp and circumstance, but instead, we settled on what we know best - doing some blinds. In this short, Anthony and Kenny blind each other in front of a live studio audience. While we didn't have a blow out bash to celebrate 300, we still had a lot of fun and we want to thank each and every one of you for supporting us.

Sugarlands Distilling Company is nestled in the foothills of Gatlinburg, TN. Even though they are a company that originally focused on moonshine, they have been getting noticed for their unique rye whiskey. Roaming Man is a cask-strength pot distilled rye whiskey, made from locally sourced grains and crafted in the largest copper pot still in the United States. Even though the first release of roaming man was in 2017, we had never heard of this company until our good friend Hector sent us some bottles. In this episode, we taste and review the cask strength version of this whiskey and the limited release 10 year version. With a mashbill of 51% rye, 45% white corn, and 4% malted barely, we can honestly say that this whiskey is unique. But would we pass, try, or buy? You'll have to listen to find out.

Shortbarrel is an Atlanta-based bourbon company whose bottles started hitting the shelves in 2021. Founded by a tight-knit group of bourbon enthusiasts, Shortbarrel specializes in crafting very unique offerings with the whiskey nerd in mind. In 2023, Shortbarrel purchased the Old Fourth Distillery and they have plans to open a flagship bar and retail shop in Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Despite being one of the hottest new brands on the market, none of us had ever tried any of their products. In this episode, we taste and review The Bee's Knees which is an annual limited release that is double barreling and has four different variants (Florida, Tennessee, Georgia, and Kentucky). We also try their cask strength toasted barrel bourbon which is a unique blend of Green River and Bardstown distillate finished in a Kelvin barrel. So join us this week as we talk Shortbarrel and give you our honest opinions. You will also get to see and hear the end of Anthony's gambling career.

For this short, we decided to taste and review two brand new bottles from Woodford. The 2025 edition of the Woodford Reserve Master’s Collection is called "Sweet Oak Bourbon" and it started as regular Woodford distillate before aging 7 years in Chinkapin oak barrels. Coming in at 110.4 proof, this new release retails for 179.99 (700ml). The second bottle we reviewed from Woodford is a brand new distillery series release that is a 12 Year American Single Malt. Comprised of a 100% malted barley mash bill, this 12 year single malt is like nothing we've ever seen before from the brand. So which one is better? You'll have to listen to find out. Also, you won't want to miss this episode because in the midst of all the tasting, we also reblinded Kenny with Russell's 15 and Jack Daniels 14. There is a lot of action packed into this short episode.

Maker's Mark Cellar Aged debuted in 2023 to much acclaim and it was announced that this would be an annual limited release from the brand, showcasing the best of their aged whisky stocks. When we reviewed 2024 version of this bourbon(E192), it became clear that the profile of this whisky would be different each year. Fast forward to the current episode - we taste and review the 2025 version of cellar which is comprised of 11, 13, and 14 year old whiskies and comes in at 112.9 proof. When we reviewed the previous batches, we were overly complementary and rightfully so. But how does the new 2025 batch taste? You'll have to listen to find out. In this episode, we are joined by our friend and community leader, Rip N' Sips.

Despite the fact that we are behind when it comes to tasting all the blind samples that members of our community have sent, in this week's short, we tackle two blinds that were sent in from Kris. Can we guess age, proof, and distillate once again? Trying things blind is one of our favorite things to do, even though it's incredibly tough. We are thankful to Kris for providing these samples and we hope you enjoy listening to us work through what's in our glasses.

Even though we tend to gravitate toward our own state when it comes to brown liquid, we got a lot of love for our neighbors to the south in Tennessee. Jack Daniel's is a brand that is steeped in history and tradition and we've been delighted at how they've expanded their offerings in recent years. In this episode, we taste and review the brand new Jack Daniel's Heritage offering which is a toasted single barrel whiskey. To create this whiskey, Jack Daniel's uses barrels that have a high toast/low char technique which are then filled with 100 proof liquid and aged for 7 years at the highest part of the warehouse. The end result? You'll have to listen to find out. This was once a limited release and now Jack has plans to release it annually. Is this once limited bottle worth having on your radar. We'll give you the lowdown.

For this week's short, we focus on Stranahan's recent "Founder's Release" which is a blend of 8-11 year American Single Malt Whiskey finished for 1-4 years in ex-Bourbon and ex-Blonde ale casks. Carrying a 12 year age statement and coming in at 120 proof, this whiskey is like nothing we've ever tasted before. Is that a good or bad thing? You'll have to listen to find out. Special thanks to our listener Ryan for providing us with this sample of this pour for the episode.
