    2026: The State of Bourbon

    Send a text In this episode of Bourbon Nerdz, we take a hard (and honest) look at The State of Bourbon in 2026. From shifting market trends and changing availability to pricing, hype, and where the bourbon industry seems to be heading next, we break down what we’re seeing, what excites us, and what has us scratching our heads. But it wouldn’t be Bourbon Nerdz without going full nerd. We also dive into the football playoffs, owning our wins and losses from fantasy football — what we nailed, what we completely missed, and the takes that aged very poorly. From there, we talk about our most anticipated games and movies, plus a look ahead at some of the biggest things we’re excited about coming in 2026. Bourbon, sports, games, movies, and future predictions — it’s all here as we pour a glass and take stock of where we are and where we’re headed. Support the show

We also break down some of the most iconic cigar-smoking characters in fiction and non-fiction—from stone-cold badasses to larger-than-life personalities who helped define the “cigar guy” archetype. To wrap things up, we pivot into monster territory with a discussion on the brand-new Frankenstein movie, what the film gets right, and why the classic monster still hits today. Pour something good, light up if you’ve got it, and come hang out for a mix of bourbon lore, cigar culture, pop-culture fun, and monster madness. Support the show
