We Battle Blind For Our 2025: Bourbon Of The Year

Five heavy hitters enter a blind tasting; a tie forces a live tiebreak and the crown goes to Old Man Winter With a prestige French oak finish. We trade hype for flavor, argue proof vs. balance, and learn how availability shapes a worthy Scotchy Bourbon Boys “Bourbon of the year.”

• sponsors thanked and distillery updates shared
• lineup set for the blind: five bourbons, one wild card on the side
• simple scoring rules agreed, color coding to prevent bias
• first-pass notes on cola, peanut, vanilla, and fruit-forward profiles
• proof chat and how it affects palate, not just heat
• debate on noses vs palates, dryness vs sweetness
• tally confusion resolved, two-way tie identified
• audience tiebreak selects Old Man Winter as winner
• value and availability weighed against rarity and price
• honorable mentions and how oxidation changes bottles over time

Make sure that you leave us good feedback on Apple and iHeart and Spotify five-star rating and everything. Leave a review and then become members.

What happens when you strip away labels, lock in a scoring system, and let the glass do the talking? We gathered the full crew, poured five of the year’s most talked-about bourbons completely blind, and chased the truth through cola notes, peanut vibes, dessert-like vanilla, and bright, fruit-forward finishes. The lineup was stacked: Knob Creek 21, Russell’s Reserve 13 (2025), A Midwinter Night’s Dram, Cathedral French Oak, and Old Man Winter from Preservation. Expectations were sky high for the heavy hitters—but the scoreboard had other plans.

We walk you through the tasting rules, the early favorites, and the turning point when pour number three changed the room’s mood. Proof chasers met balance seekers as a silky 90s-proof contender outperformed its label, while a 110-proof nose bomb turned out more polarizing on the palate than predicted. Cathedral French Oak cast a spell on the nose. Knob 21 delivered oak-driven structure. Russell’s 13 flashed that rich sweetness many love. Midwinter offered juicy fruit and charm. But the question we kept asking was simple: which glass makes you want another pour?

By the end, scores tied between two colors and we pulled in a live audience to break it. The winner? Old Man Winter—an underdog that paired layered fruit, spice control, and a welcoming finish with the practical upside of being findable at retail. We dig into why availability matters for a “Bourbon of the Year,” what blind tasting reveals about our biases, and how time in the bottle can flip your rankings weeks later. Stick around for honorable mentions, lessons learned from oxidation, and a reminder that great whiskey doesn’t always wear the most expensive label.

If you enjoyed this blind battle, follow the show, share it with a bourbon friend, and drop your own top pick of the year in a review. Your palate belongs in this conversation.

Sponsors And Setup

SPEAKER_01 0:46

I used to have where the headphones go. Middle West Spirits was founded in 2008, focusing on elevating the distinct flavors of the Ohio River Valley. Their spirits honor their roots and reflect their originality as makers, their integrity as producers, and their passion for crafting spirits from grain to glass. Their Michelin reserve line reflects their story from the start to the bottle to your glass. With unique wheated it and rye bourbons and also rye and wheat whiskies, the Michelin brand is easy to sift. It might be a grain to glass experience, but I like to think of it as uncut and unfiltered from their family to yours.

SPEAKER_01 21:12

Quasimogam.

SPEAKER_06 21:14

No, it's like Kiwis. It's totally fruit.

SPEAKER_01 21:17

It tastes like the hunchback of Notre Dame. It's earlier this year.

SPEAKER_03 21:23

It's earlier this year. Yeah, because I got it in the city.

SPEAKER_01 21:25

I tasted something that was phenomenal.

SPEAKER_05 21:28

You can you can I think you can go walk into top shelf? I think you can go buy this at top shelf right on your way home. I might they have it all over the place because I'm tired of it. Yeah, it's everywhere.

SPEAKER_06 58:56

SPEAKER_01 58:58

It's not like we sell whiskey.

SPEAKER_06 59:01

And you know it was a legit. This is missing some of these things.

SPEAKER_01 59:03

These were good. The first one.

SPEAKER_06 59:05

I mean, cathedral is delicious too. But you can't buy it.

SPEAKER_03 59:08

So I'll tell you what, honestly, I was disappointed with Cathedral flavor from that. But the nose was so good.

SPEAKER_06 59:14

Yes, the nose is insane.

SPEAKER_01 59:16

There's no disappointment to me. I wasn't disappointed, but yeah, because it's not as good.

SPEAKER_03 59:23

Great nose.

SPEAKER_01 59:23

I mean, at 110 proof, everything, but this is sitting, this one's sitting at 101.

SPEAKER_06 59:31

Old Man Winter was my ten proof.

SPEAKER_01 59:36

And that and that, this is not a neck pour, and that was a neck pour. That's a fresh crack. That's only gonna get better.

unknown 59:43

Like they're blended yet.

SPEAKER_01 59:44

The old man winter is what it was. Alright, guys.

SPEAKER_03 59:47

So before we wrap this up, maybe we should give some honorable mentions to things that we didn't bring, because I know we've all drank a lot of really good whiskeys this year. Yeah, and we're in we're all in the world. Nashley's in fucking church because he's like, yes, yes!

SPEAKER_06 1:00:04

So what else tiny did you really like this show?

SPEAKER_01 1:00:08

A couple of honorable mentions. Well, the Bomburgers are what it was it, uh PRG. Use your words. R P F G P F it's not three letters. And that's uh that's that's I don't it's not hard, but at the same time, I don't I get them mixed up. I had the right letters, I just don't get them in the right order.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:28

If you don't know if you don't know at home, PFG. I mean RPGs are probably different.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:34

Yeah, that's what the terrorists used to blow up Americans. That was that was a great bottle that we had out.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:39

And then so for those of you that don't know, Bomburgers is made by our friend Dan over at Victor's. Yep. So shout out to Dan. Great bottle this year. I agree. Andrea Wilson. That's right. Andrea Wilson. And I agree. I mean the Bomb Burgers line is just fantastic. Any other honorable mentions of that?

SPEAKER_02 1:01:02

What happened to the Bomburgers? What happened to the Bomb Burgers in this line?

SPEAKER_03 1:01:05

Well, CT brought to pared down.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:08

Yeah, we're that's a tough one. Like it would have made it in.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:12

It tried to make it in, but we got it. We had that on the pre ship.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:16

I know, I know STF.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:18

Yes, Mr. Nash.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:21

Nash has got his hand out. Yes, Jesus.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:25

You finally wrote your hand for the honorable mentions for bourbon. Yes. I'd like to.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:31

Big shout out to Matt and Augusta Bourbon and for the 13 year that they brought this year and put out. It's a single barrel. And also, like I say, Matt, they're doing great things at Augusta Bourbon.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:43

So that was one of my picks that wasn't able to make it to the table. That wasn't because it was anything short about it. It was just because we just had to eliminate the bigger bigger thing.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:58

What people don't realize also is once you open a bourbon, when you open it and you drink it, then you're then you go about and keep it keep the keep the notes in your head. But when you start to taste head to head to things, things change. Once the bottle's open. For instance, uh Jerry's batch, Booker's, was by far, when I tasted it, uh, it got the highest rating this year of the other two of the the three that we tasted. But when we did Bookers of the Year, uh on On the Pond or what is it? What's it called? By the Pond. By the Pond actually took between the three of us for Bookers of the Year the honors opposed to Jerry's batch, which I would have thought would have taken it. But after having them open and all three open for a while, the closeness was very they were all very close, but by the pond was able to take it. So once you open a bourbon and then you get to this point, if it's early on in the season when they all hit, sometimes how they m oxidize changes the flavor, and it and when you get to this point and when you're tasting them all blind, it it makes a difference.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:16

I have an honorable mention that.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:17

And I was gonna say, my my only I'm sorry, my only comment is what the hell does that have to do with honorable mentions?

SPEAKER_06 1:03:22

But so the Star Hill Farm.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:25

Yeah, but uh honorable it was Booker's. I the honorable mention was Booker's.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:30

Star Hill Farm.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:30

So I was my honorable mention.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:32

And I'm gonna give you a because I I did a fresh crack of the Star Hill Farms and it was terrible. And then let it sit open.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:41

Just for like about yes.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:43

So I I had mine cracked. Let it sit open. And I and I did have it open a little bit here and there as I was drinking it. But man, after about a month, it just changed.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:51

If you guys if you go by Ed Boy, who does Old Stubborn, and you're he talks about wheat wheat whiskeys. Wheat whiskeys are very no no no, they're that's del they're delicate. So they gotta sit for a while. So what you're talking about is the Star Heel Find Farm is not a bourbon, it's a wheat whiskey. Or maker's mark or papy or weller, all those. You always want to let them sit for a while before they become competition because they get they they're a more delicate grain than a rye, than a wheat. The wheat grain is whatever, so you want to just let them sit for a while.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:28

So again, we're off the honorable mention path. TV, what's your honorable mention?

SPEAKER_02 1:04:34

Whew.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:35

That's tough because I probably would have put the Penelope. No. I probably would have put the Penelope Omega in.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:44

Oh, yeah. I like that bottle.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:47

It was so man's got a sucking on it.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:51

Penelope Omega?

SPEAKER_00 1:04:52

I mean, listen, there's so many bottles throughout the year. Oh yeah. It's so bad. It's so bad that when you go back through this, you're like, was that last year's or this year's?

SPEAKER_01 1:05:01

I got a I got a Penelope, what is Barcelona? Is that what's the among Barcelona? What was what Barbados? What was the what was the Penelope I got that started with the B? Balencien?

unknown 1:05:15

SPEAKER_00 1:05:34

Whiskey, what was your second one? So I I'm gonna tell you, I struggled with this a little bit.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:39

I really like nine or eleven. I I've had the knob 21 when it's been open for a little bit, and I really enjoyed that this year. I almost brought it.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:48

Havana, that's what I'm talking about. Was that rum?

SPEAKER_02 1:05:51

Yeah, yeah. Now I've got some barrels of maple. I love so I've got to.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:56

I've got like 24 bottles and ob twelve. Because the batch one was so good. I just went to the bottom. I'll trade you today. I'll trade you. No, it's six weeks. Let's talk about the podcast, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:05

I remember a couple years ago. You you were wrapped up.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:08

I'm trying to trade. I know, but we could do that at once. So but op 21 I thought was really good. I will be honest with you. I I I cracked my cellar age. And again, I did the shaker, shaker because I didn't want to get an eck core. And I I didn't love it at first, but I really did a couple weeks after you opened it.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:32

Yeah. So when we did Cellarage this year, 25, 24, 23. Yeah, the 24. 24 ended up winning. It did. But 25 was what she loved. And 23 had kind of faded, 24 had come into its own, and 25 still, but she loved it because 25 is just got a little bit more of that Chardonnay oak.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:55

It does.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:55

But I will tell you now it might it's a dryness to me. I mean it's it does, it has a complexity.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:02

And that's a good and that's a good bring-in to a backup because really, like had we had a 25 sitting here ready, readily available. I do it dropped this morning. I have a cell A's 25.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:16

I do too.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:16

I have a couple of it.

SPEAKER_00 1:07:17

But just button, but random bottle?

SPEAKER_01 1:07:20

Like, I don't that's a freaking good bottle. It's a freight bottle, but I don't think it overrides this. I didn't pick that.

unknown 1:07:30

Yeah, well.

SPEAKER_01 1:07:31

Yeah, this finished second.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:32

Yeah, but not in mine. Because Maker's Mart 25 wasn't in there, so Celery's 25.

SPEAKER_01 1:07:38

We judge we judge by what was here in front of us.

SPEAKER_00 1:07:41

It probably wouldn't.

SPEAKER_01 1:07:42

It would have been in fourth.

SPEAKER_00 1:07:43

So we don't have a Celeries 25 here?

SPEAKER_01 1:07:45

It's right there, right behind her. Did you crack it all? Do we have five glasses? Yeah, we do. Yeah. There's 20. No, there's eight glasses. Go get eight. We're not going to be able to do that. Wait, wait, wait. We're going to end the podcast before we start this. So all right, everybody, we got to end the podcast.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:02

Yeah, I mean, that's the thing. We're starting to get a little off into weird. We always go off on the side. We should try that. No, the one thing that I think the one thing that I think that is pretty interesting about this whole thing. I'm just gonna take the fucking microphones. The one thing that I think is pretty interesting as we talk about our honorable mentions and our our candidates for Burber in the Year is there's no one distillery that that dominated here.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:25

I think everybody's making everybody's making good juice.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:29

There's so many things to choose from. Yeah, we have five very different palettes between us, and and yet we can you can find something to enjoy from almost everything.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:40

That's why we're a group. Once again, it's like we're getting together. I thought that was so true. The bourbon is the glue. Everybody can have different opinions on the bourbon. We all talk about it, we all enjoy it, we all relax, or we just want uh fresh glasses. We get to yeah, yeah. So, so wait, what's happening?

SPEAKER_06 1:09:02

This is the CellRH, 2025. But everyone could agree.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:06

Yeah, but Walker's already got eight more glasses. He's got them right over there with the flag. No, no, no.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:11

Water me one plastic cup with some water in it. And we'll just rinse the glasses we have.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:17

No, he's got eight sitting on top over there.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:20

It's an awful lot of glasses.

SPEAKER_04 1:09:22

I'm just gonna rinse mine.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:23

Yeah. Are you guys all of a sudden are worried about my how much I how many glasses I have to wash?

SPEAKER_03 1:09:30

But rinsing them is like makes sense. You know what? I'm gonna drink out of this real fancy crystal bottle. Oh god, I hate you.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:36

So I decided to bring it up. I've got a green bomb. And that's that's an empty fee. That's not good. Well there's a crystal sample. That's a vanilla bomb on the finish.

unknown 1:11:48
