Will and Greeze were sent a Stranahan's Blue Peak by longtime listener Brian (he also sent Will some flies to fish with, so he skyrocketed to the top of the best listener's chart). This bottle sparked the idea to do some other American Single Malts in a line up: ASW's Red X, Jack Daniel's American Single Malt, and ASW Duality Cask Strength.

Greeze went down to ASW Distillery in Atlanta for a release of a new Oak and Thieves pick. Also, they try some delicious samples sent from friends, like the Russel's Reserve Single Rickhouse Bourbon. Then, after the 15, they try the 13th Colony Double Oaked Bourbon.
There has been a lot of discouraging news for bourbon hunters these days, as it seems more and more that the system is stacked against those just tryin' to find a Pappy. Will and Greeze discuss the "2-tier system," where those in the distro game are cutting the allocations off at the pass. Then, Will blinds Greeze on Calumet 8 year and gets his buy, bar, pass rating.

Will poses the question to Greeze, "What Are People Drinking?" It seems basic, but between a glut of store picks and new non-distiller producers, it seems more difficult than ever to decipher the prevailing winds of the bourbon public. So they talk about it, and they drink some Old Soul Cask Strength that was picked by our buddy Tarak at Elixir in Spring Hill, TN.
