Bourbon Idiots

It's been about a year since Knob 21 released for the first time, so Phil and Jeremy taste the bourbon that's old enough to drink itself hoping it comes around again. Phil is also in rare form, expressing his love for vocabulary and recounts joyful times as a child...wandering around factories.

Coming in at a whopping 130 proof this tiny bottle from Old Forester packs a punch in multiple ways...except smell. Phil and Jeremy nearly snort it to find the scent. They also review the AI-generated intro that may or may not be used. Phil goes down a Star Trek rabbit hole. Also, should we do an OF 1915 episode?

In a redemption episode, Phil and Jeremy get the chance to directly compare the bottle of Weller Antique 107 they used to make Poor Man's Pappy against a new bottle. Was the old bottle skunked? Fake?!? Phil speculates on how the bottle went bad, and Jeremy talks about finding porn in the forest.

Phil and Jeremy gifted each other 18 year bourbon and are now tasting them head to head. These bottles are old enough to vote, get married, and pillage your wallet. Phil also talks financial advice, and the first time he drank sake (oi oi oi).

EH Taylor Barrel Proof, Single Barrel, and Small Batch grace Phil and Jeremy's tongues in a straight comparison. Is the elusive Barrel Proof worth the chase? Phil also sends his mental librarian on several impossible missions, digging up memories on snack cakes and old movies.

P, B, and J (Phil, Becky, and Jeremy) are back after a trip to the Driftless Glen distillery. They landed an UNRELEASED limited edition wheated that DG boasts 7 out of 8 people picked over Weller 12. Is it better head-to-head? They also taste a flight of other DG bourbons, including the first rye on the show, and talk about how different sizes of barrels should change how you think about age statements.

A new blend from Penelope shocks the Bourbon Idiots. Great as a stand alone, but even better when paired with a cigar as intended. Also Phil talks about an interesting way of combining bourbon with cigars.
