    Blind Sample Showdown Season 3 The Final

    This is it, the final Showdown! 7 months, 31 Showdowns, 32 contestants, 186 samples, and t all comes down to this! Both newcomers to the show this season, Phill and Val have done amazing thus far, Who's taking home the title and the Dick Pick? Val, The Bourbon Vixen is coming into this with a total of 31 points throughout the season. Phill, The Rangers Respite has accumulated 33 points thus far. This is going to be a tight match. Instead of a randomized set of samples, these 3 are hand selected. I picked these 3 samples because they're unique, and present quite different than what they really are. Thank you all for tuning in every week and supporting this crazy little project of mine, you are all very much appreciated! Thank you to all who competed, your time and commitment is very much appreciated. Most of all, the BIGGEST THANK YOU to Zach and the team over at Richard's Liquors! This couldn't happen with out you!.

    SMF Ep. 56: Oak & Grist: A Gem from North Carolina

    This week on Thursday, February 27th at 4pm PST / 7pm EST, we interview William and Charlie with Oak & Grist. O&G is a relatively lesser known American Single Malt Whiskey distillery in North Carolina. Oak & Grist's whiskey leans toward the "scotch-y" side of American Single Malt and would blend in well among Speysides. Lost Lantern featured an Oak & Grist single cask in their Discovery Club in 2025, which we definitely used as a reference and research for this episode. My first taste of O&G was casually offered to me by a collaborator, Oak & Grist finished in a Rum Cask, offered up as a nice comparison with our Rum Cask McCarthy's pick, "another Rum Cask ASMW." Across samples of 5 different Oak & Grist products I've tasted over the past year and a half, I've never not been impressed. All of O&G's whiskeys are Non-Chill-Filtered and No Color Added. We love to see it. This week's whiskeys (* = provided to us by our guests): - * Oak & Grist Origin (Batch 02) - 46.25% / 92.5 proof - * Oak & Grist Descendent (Batch 03) - 46.25% / 92.5 proof - Lost Lantern Oak & Grist (Discovery Club Exclusive) Find out more: - Oak & Grist https://www.oakandgrist.com/ and https://www.instagram.com/oakandgristdistilling/ --- If you like what we do, please like, subscribe, comment, and share! - Support us on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/SingleMaltFrontier and get extras and perks! - Subscribe to our show here and at https://www.instagram.com/singlemaltfrontier - Buy our glencairns! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeIxRxNT_WdJx0gedh0Nuh4RtXLUo5WxbBtmlp4yk9me8IZ9A/viewform - Follow Doug at https://www.instagram.com/demitastes and https://demitastes.com/ - Join the Single Malt Frontier Discord: https://discord.gg/2ZwbTZrzP - ASMW on Reddit: https://reddit.com/r/AmericanSMW Companion channels: - 3 Guys 1 Grain - https://www.youtube.com/@3Guys1Grain - 3 of your favorite ASMW-loving youtubers discuss ASMW from the consumer perspective - Off Topic Whiskey (Randall) - https://www.youtube.com/@OffTopicWhiskey - a podcast with a down-to-earth take on all things whiskey - Freedom Malts (Jerm) - https://www.youtube.com/@Freedom_malts - home of the Blind Sample Showdown - Ranger's Respite (Phill) - https://www.youtube.com/@therangersrespite - Phill's whiskey reviews and commentary --- There are only 4 bottles left of our McCarthy's pick: McCarthy's 6.71 Year Rum Cask Single Barrel #701.
