Old Fashioned Friendship
Two friends. Twenty years of memories. One bottle at a time. Join lifelong buddies Brandon and Bobby as they pour a glass of bourbon and take a spirited walk down memory lane. Each episode features a new bourbon tasting—complete with honest notes and a touch of amateur flair—paired with hilarious, heartfelt, and occasionally outrageous stories from their shared past. Whether you're a whiskey lover, a story buff, or just here for the laughs, pull up a chair and pour yourself a drink. It’s time to toast to friendship, flavor, and a few bad decisions.

EP 44 Widow Jane, Pollen Pain, and the Great Candy Debate
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this week’s episode, the guys crack open Widow Jane: The Vault 15‑Year, a limited‑release bottle finished in Mediterranean oak “sacred to Zeus” — which immediately sends them down a rabbit hole of mythological wood, tasting legs, and why this bourbon somehow manages to be both flavorful and bone‑dry at the same time.
From there, the conversation swerves into Blind Barrels, including a recap of a recent blind tasting, the master blender who jumped on their livestream, and why a 94% rye blend convinced one of them to buy a bottle on the spot. (And yes — the OFFCAST10 code gets mentioned more than once.)
Then things get beautifully off the rails:
• A full breakdown of 3D‑printing struggles, clogged nozzles, and the birth of an RFID‑enabled bottle opener
• A passionate, borderline‑emotional rant about Virginia pollen, Benadryl naps, and why every car becomes yellow
• A deep dive into candy rankings, from S‑tier Take 5s to the existential disappointment of Three Musketeers
• Childhood snack strategies, pizza‑roll warfare, and the eternal question: Do you eat pumpkin seeds with or without the shell?
It’s classic Old Fashioned Friendship energy — bourbon, chaos, nostalgia, and absolutely zero ability to stay on topic.
Stick around for the final verdict on Widow Jane’s Vault, updates on TikTok growth, and a reminder to check out the merch sale and Blind Barrels partnership. Cheers, and drink responsibly.
