The crew is back at the table talking bottles, budgets, FOMO, and how their whiskey-buying habits have evolved since Season 1, when nobody dared spend over $50. From the overwhelming wave of new releases hitting shelves to the psychology of chasing hype, the guys break down what really makes a bottle worth the buy. They get honest about guardrails, dealing with the “whiskey glut,” and why a $30 bar pour might save you from a $300 mistake. Then they dive into something surprising: a brand-new release from Maker’s Mark, their first new mashbill in over 70 years. The fellas react to the bottle, the marketing, the mash bill experiment, and whether it earns a spot on your shelf. Expect jokes, debates, a few unexpected tasting notes, and a rating that might shock longtime Maker’s fans. If you’ve ever wrestled with FOMO, wondered how to navigate the flood of new whiskey drops, or just want to hear what happens when a big distillery finally switches it up, this episode’s for you. Pull up a chair, grab a glass, and find out why this pour had the whole table rethinking what they thought they knew about Maker’s Mark

There’s laughter, cultural gems, a whole lot of honey talk, and a few flavor notes you won’t see coming. If you love whiskey tastings, discovering new bottles, meeting dope people in the community, or just hearing the crew crack jokes while their palates get progressively looser, this episode is for you. Tap in to find out which honey pours stole the show and which ones had the table rethinking everything they thought they knew about finished whiskey.

The crew is back at the table with three new pours from Starlight Distillery, and things heat up fast... literally. They kick off with the Mizunara Finish Bourbon, a bold pour that sparks debate over flavor vs. fire, before moving to the Double Oaked, where caramel, brown sugar, and “toasted cookie vibes” smooth things out. Finally, the team uncorks Starlight’s first-ever 10-Year Bourbon, and let’s just say the nose alone had everyone saying it “smells like hope.” From sandalwood surprises to “Charizard-level” heat references, the conversation flows with laughs, honest ratings, and a little friendly peer pressure on their pour scores. Along the way, the fellas reminisce about their trip to Indiana rickhouses, slushies, and surviving the “Starlight gauntlet.” They wrap it all up with talk of family bourbon trails, orchestra debates, and a reminder that sometimes whiskey is about more than just the pour—it’s about the people. 🥃 Tune in to find out which Starlight bottle stole the show, which one had them sweating, and why this episode might be their most unanimous rating yet. Quick heads up: The audio on this episode is a little rough in spots due to recording conditions, but it’s still absolutely listenable and the conversation and pours are worth sticking around for.
