Ep 30 : “Bourbon Unicorns - A Semi-Blind Taste Test of Pappy and Weller”

Jason and Bradford are back on the porch chasing bourbon dreams—and this time, they’re chasing unicorns. The guys dive into a blind taste test of some of the most elusive bottles in the Buffalo Trace lineup, putting price, palate, and prestige to the test. Can they identify the pairs correctly?

They pair Weller Antique 107 vs. Pappy 15 Year, and Weller 12 Year vs. Pappy 12 Year Lot B—all in a blind lineup to see if legendary names live up to the hype. Can a $150 bottle hang with one that fetches $3,000? And does that “Poor Man’s Pappy” recipe really stand a chance against the real thing?

But this episode isn’t just about bourbon—it’s about perspective. “If my 25-year-old self knew what I know now, what would I do with the information?” At 25, Bradford was married and five years from becoming a dad. Would having a “cheat code” for life have changed anything? It’s a twist on the old journey vs. destination question: if you’re happy with where you are now, would you really rewrite the past?

As they sip through their dream lineup, they light up the Padron 50th Anniversary, a cigar worthy of the moment—bold, refined, and a reminder that some things, like wisdom and whiskey, take time.

Pour something special, settle into your favorite seat, and reflect on life, legacy, and what really matters.
