Neat Plans & Pour Decisions - Ep 31 - Bluegrass Distillers Elkwood Reserve 18-Year Bourbon
This week the guys crack open one of the most impressive bottles they’ve had all year — Bluegrass Distillers’ Elkwood Reserve 18-Year Bourbon.
From the first pour, it’s clear this isn’t your average Kentucky bourbon. Deep oak, rich caramel, and that telltale long-aged complexity have the table buzzing. By the end of the tasting, there’s no debate — this bottle’s a serious contender for Whiskey of the Year.
But the wheel never lets them get too comfortable. One spin later and the next pour has everyone puzzled… not because it’s bad, but because it’s different. The notes don’t line up, the guesses fly, and somehow they still end up loving it.
Grab your glass and settle in — this episode’s got a top-tier bourbon, a curveball pour, and plenty of laughs along the way.
