    Episode 398: Green River Wheated Single Barrel Cask Strength Bourbon (124.2 Proof)

    This week on Chill Filtered, Cole and Bryan pour a Green River Barrel Proof Wheated Bourbon pick, clocking in at a healthy 124.2 proof. It’s bold, it’s wheated, and it’s ready for a proper breakdown.   Before they sip, the conversation drifts into the wild world of salespeople (the good, the bad, and the persistent) and the history behind the Green River Distilling Company, one of Kentucky’s quieter comeback stories.   On Whiskey World News, Bryan shares updates on Kirin potentially selling Four Roses and details about the new A. Smith Bowman Cask Strength lottery — two headlines that definitely have whiskey fans paying attention.   And for “What Whiskey Would You Choose?”, the boys keep it cocktail-focused: What kind of bitters are your go-to for an Old Fashioned?   High proof, industry shakeups, and a little bitters debate to round it out — grab a glass and hang with us. 🥃

    Episode 397: Heaven Hill 90th Anniversary Bourbon

    On this episode, Cole and Bryan crack open a special release from Heaven Hill Distillery — the Heaven Hill 90th Anniversary Bourbon — and give it the attention a milestone bottle deserves… eventually.   Before the whiskey even hits the glass, the boys go deep on Cole’s latest exam attempt, the very real struggle of Afrin addiction, and the long, annoying road of getting over lingering colds. You know, the hard-hitting topics.   For Whiskey World News, Bryan reads about Buffalo Trace’s newest event and what it means for fans of the distillery.   And on “What Whiskey Would You Choose?”, Bryan poses a question that reveals a lot about who you are as a person: If you landed a bottle of George T. Stagg this week, are you popping it immediately… or saving it for a “special occasion”?   Milestone bourbon, real-life chaos, and the eternal open-or-hoard debate — classic Chill Filtered energy. 🥃

    Episode 396: The Buffalo Trace Single Oak Project Showdown

    This episode is a straight-up whiskey nerd dream Cole and Bryan line up 7–8 different barrels from Buffalo Trace’s legendary Single Oak Project, including the highly hyped Barrel #80, and set out on a mission to answer the big question: Is Barrel #80 actually the best of the bunch?   As they work through the pours, the boys bounce between tasting, ranking, and laughing about psycho kids, The Simpsons, other classic TV shows, and the fascinating background behind the Single Oak Project itself.   On Whiskey World News, they break down Fred Minnick’s latest Whiskeys of the Year and what made the cut.   And for “What Whiskey Would You Choose?”, Bryan throws out a bourbon-lover’s debate: Are you more of a rye-recipe bourbon person or a wheated bourbon person?   Multiple barrels. Big opinions. Peak Chill Filtered chaos. 🥃🔥

    Episode 395: Kilchoman Loch Gorm (2021)

    This week, Cole and Bryan head straight to Islay for a dark, smoky, sherry-soaked treat — Kilchoman Loch Gorm (2021), an Islay Scotch fully matured in sherry butts and packed with bold flavor.   Before diving into the pour, the boys catch up on Bryan’s trip to Universal, Cole’s recent bourbon finds, and the very real (and very relatable) dream of having your kid be the favorite at daycare and school. They also dig into the background of sherry cask maturation and what makes Islay Scotch so uniquely intense.   On Whiskey World News, Bryan covers some wild headlines — from Godzilla-branded PBRs to Whiskey Del Bac shaking things up by removing Frontera from their lineup.   And for “What Whiskey Would You Choose?”, Bryan checks the room with a timely question: Did you do Dry January this year?   Smoky, sweet, and full of great conversation — pour something good and enjoy the ride. 🥃🔥

    Episode 394: Woodinville 8yr 100% Rye Whiskey

    This week, Cole and Bryan head to the Pacific Northwest with a seriously impressive pour from Woodinville, Washington — Woodinville 8yr 100% Rye Whiskey. It’s a high-age, all-rye release that’s been a long time coming, and the boys are more than ready to see what it’s all about.   Before diving into the glass, they warm things up with talk of trips without kids, the eternal debate between Cuban sandwiches vs. Reubens, and a little background on Pacific Northwest rye whiskey and why the region deserves more love.   On Whiskey World News, Bryan breaks down the Breaking Bourbon release calendar, giving a look at what’s coming down the pipeline and what might be worth keeping an eye on.   And for “What Whiskey Would You Choose?”, things take a hard left turn away from whiskey altogether with a very important question: Which theme park would you rather go to — Disney or Universal?   Grab a pour, pick a side, and settle in for another fun, flavor-packed episode. 🎢🥃

    Episode 392: Hardin's Creek Warehouse Series: Warehouse G - The Owl

    This week on Chill Filtered, Cole and Bryan pour something they’ve been itching to spend real time with: Hardin’s Creek Warehouse Series — Warehouse G (The Owl). It’s a Beam experiment with serious intent behind it, but before they even lift the glass, the conversation wanders in true Chill Filtered fashion. They kick things off talking New Year’s vibes, the chaos (and joy) of tacos dropping, and a surprisingly spirited discussion about the whiskey world’s favorite niche term — “outturn.” You know… one of those words. On Whiskey World News, Bryan breaks down a developing story involving an investor lawsuit connected to MGP, and what it could mean for one of the most influential producers in American whiskey. And for “What Whiskey Would You Choose?”, the creativity comes out: If you were naming a whiskey that started with “Old ___,” what would you call it? A thoughtful pour, some deep industry talk, and plenty of silliness along the way — exactly how we like to start the year. 🥃

    Episode 391: Jack Daniel's Tanyard Hill Rye (138.3 Proof)

    This week on Chill Filtered, Cole and Bryan crack into a big, bold new release from Jack Daniel’s — Tanyard Hill Rye, coming in hot at 138.3 proof. But before the fire hits the glass, the boys rewind a bit, talking Christmas recap, standout gifts, and all the good, chaotic fun that comes with time spent with family. Once it’s time to sip, they dive into what makes Tanyard Hill Rye such a fascinating addition to the Jack Daniel’s lineup and how a proof this high changes the experience in the glass. On Whiskey World News, Bryan takes a more macro look at the industry, discussing reports of slowing American whiskey sales and what that might mean for distilleries, releases, and the future of the bourbon boom. And for “What Whiskey Would You Choose?”, the question feels perfectly timed: What’s your go-to New Year’s Eve cocktail to ring in the new year? High proof, end-of-year vibes, and plenty to toast to — grab a pour and celebrate with us. 🥃✨
