Über diesen Titel

You're gonna get honest (and sometimes irreverent) reviews, news, and opinions on whiskey and the industry.
Will I dwell on the minutia? Sure, sometimes. Will I use sarcasm to get my point across? Yep. Either way you can bet you'll learn something and have something to say about it and that is exactly what Blind Tasting Podcast is all about. Bourbon, Whiskey, and Attitude! Enjoy!

  • Blanton’s Gold vs Straight From the Barrel - Does MORE Blanton’s Actually Make Blanton’s Better?
    Jan 3 2026

    In this not-so-short Splash 'n Dash edition of the Blind Tasting Podcast, I put two of the most hyped Blanton’s bottles head to head with no labels and no bias. Blanton’s Gold versus Blanton’s Straight From the Barrel. Same warehouse. Same mash bill. Very different proofs and price tags.

    I break down the fascinating history behind Blanton’s Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Warehouse H, Elmer T. Lee, and why this bourbon was never meant to be mass market. Then I taste both pours blind and answer the question everyone argues about. Does higher proof and higher price actually deliver a better drinking experience once the hype is gone?

    This episode is honest, as always, and straight to the glass. No flexing. No marketing talk. Just what actually tastes better and whether it's worth the money.

    If you've ever chased Blanton’s, paid secondary prices, or wondered if Straight From the Barrel really earns its reputation, this one is for you.

    Cheers, whiskey freaks.

  • Everyone Is Wrong About Jim Beam And We Have the Receipts
    Dec 28 2025

    Social media had opinions when Jim Beam announced it was pausing distillation at its Clermont Kentucky facility and most of them were loud, political, and wildly wrong. In this bonus episode of the Blind Tasting Podcast I dive headfirst into the comment section chaos and bring backup. Joined by our resident economics guru we break down the biggest misconceptions floating around the internet including tariffs, stock prices, bourbon demand, generational drinking habits, and whether politics has anything to do with what is happening in American whiskey. No vibes, no outrage, no hot takes, just real numbers, real context, and real world economics. Consider this episode a fact check for whiskey freaks who prefer data over drama.
