Segment: The Whiskey Showdown

Did the most hyped bottle win? You’ll have to hear it to find out.

In Prohibition Pour-Off, EP 4, Whiskey Whiskers and Aviatrix go head-to-head in a Bottled-in-Bond showdown—three 100-proof bourbons, one blind tasting, and no idea what’s in each glass.

This round’s lineup is all about tradition and regulation: Colonel E.H. Taylor Single Barrel Bottled in Bond, Bardstown Origin Series Bottled in Bond, and Old Grand-Dad Bottled in Bond. Same rules as always — taste blind, rank the pours, guess what’s in each glass, and see who actually knows their whiskey.

What follows is a mix of cherry notes, smoky surprises, and second-guessing everything as rankings shift from sip to sip. Add in mash bill talk, proof debates, and a few blind-tasting curveballs, and this one gets interesting fast.

The episode also detours into upcoming fly-ins, backcountry plans, and where the next Pour-Off might land.

Segment: The Whiskey Showdown

In Prohibition Pour-Off, EP 3, Whiskey Whiskers and Aviatrix are back at the table with three new bottles, a blind tasting… and a live studio audience member who absolutely did not stick to the sleep schedule.

This round’s lineup brings a wide spread of proof, price, and personality: 13 Colony Distilleries Cask Strength Southern Bourbon (Batch 2025), the classic and ever-present Old Forester 100 Proof, and Still Austin Bourbon. Same rules as always — taste blind, rank the pours, guess what’s in each glass, and see who actually knows their whiskey.

What follows is a chaotic mix of tasting notes (caramel, vanilla, baking spice, waxy mouthfeel), proof debates, price-point bias, and the realization that sometimes the cheapest bottle wins your heart… and sometimes the highest-proof bottle absolutely does not. Add in a crawling baby, contaminated palate water, and a rare moment where the hosts don’t agree — and things get interesting.

The episode also detours into aviation cringe, pilot announcements, classic country hot takes, and the growing idea of future Pour-Off matchups featuring past winners… or maybe the losers first.
