Pappy Van Winkle 2025 Drops, New Riff High Balls, Pro Tips on Buffalo Trace, and Revisiting Ben Holladay Rickhouse Proof Smoked Bourbon Whiskey

Hey whiskey freaks, on this new episode, forget life’s big questions. No upside-down pineapples, no soul-searching. It’s all bourbon, all the way.

We’re diving into the 2025 Pappy drop (good luck getting any), revisiting a rare smoked Ben Holladay bourbon to see if it still hits like it did months ago, and talking stocks: because apparently, I own both Brown-Forman and MGP, and I like to buy when everyone else panics.

There’s a charity barrel pick to shout about, canned bourbon cocktails, and a firm reminder that standing in line at Buffalo Trace is a terrible idea you should never do again. Pour a glass of the good stuff, buckle up, and let’s see what’s still fire, what’s mellowed out, and what makes whiskey freaks tick.
