The best things in life are worth the wait."

In this special (and slightly agonizing) birthday episode, the Doc reveals the surprise bottle he secured for GT: a pristine, unopened bottle of Colonel E.H. Taylor Barrel Proof.

While the seal is still intact and the temptation is high, the "Third Pour" isn't complete without the full crew. We’re keeping the cork in and the glasses empty until the Professor can join us at the table to give this powerhouse bourbon the welcome it deserves.

Stay tuned for the follow-up "Tasting & Review" episode coming as soon as the Professor arrives!
