Series: The Blind Pig Pilot Podcast

Hosts: Whiskey Whiskers & Aviatrix

Segment: The Whiskey Showdown

In Prohibition Pour-Off, EP 2, Whiskey Whiskers and Aviatrix return to the tasting table with a fresh lineup, a fresh pour… and a not-so-fresh reminder that blind guessing is hard.

This round, the crew lines up three heavy hitters: Bardstown Discovery Series #12, Heaven’s Door Bootleg Series Vol. IV (2022) (the ceramic bottle that looks like it belongs in a museum), and Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond. The mission stays the same: taste blind, rank favorites, guess what’s in each glass, and see who walks away with the bragging rights.

What starts with a “Whiskey Wednesdays” singalong quickly turns into real tasting talk—smoothness vs. heat, oak and spice, and the discovery that two bottles can feel similar… right up until you learn you were confidently wrong the whole time. Toss in a little soundboard chaos, a few “don’t say that on mic” moments, and the timeless debate of how much did that bottle cost?—and you’ve got another classic Pour-Off.

They also dip a toe into aviation headlines, talk palate training for the long game, and tease ideas like an “infinity bottle” to keep the leftover pours alive.

Tune in for laughs, honest notes, and another update to the Whiskey Challenge leaderboard at ⁠blindpigpilot.com⁠.

1️⃣ Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond — The smooth standout and unanimous #1.

2️⃣ Heaven’s Door Bootleg Series Vol. IV (2022) — Sweeter vibes with a little mystery.

3️⃣ Bardstown Discovery Series #12 — Spicier, oakier… and the surprise last-place finisher.

Scoreboard: Both Whiskey Whiskers and Aviatrix ranked them 1–2–3 in the same order. Correct guesses: 0/3 each.
