Tasting Wild Turkey 8 Year + Updates on Eagle Rare, Old Fitz, and Belle Meade
Episode description
In today's episode, Will and the Greeze dive into some of the hottest news in the whiskey world, starting off with a few lighthearted updates from their own lives—including musings on campers and Diet Coke memes—before shifting into a spirited discussion about recent bourbon releases.
You'll hear their candid reactions and analysis on the highly-anticipated Eagle Rare 12 Year, its surprising price point, and how Buffalo Trace plans to roll it out as a permanent (yet probably scarce) addition to shelves. The conversation weaves through other upcoming bottles like Old Fitzgerald 7 Year and the new Wild Turkey 8 Year, with the hosts debating market trends, allocation realities, and the potential for these whiskeys to actually be accessible for regular drinkers.
The guys also celebrate the return of a beloved local favorite—Belle Meade Bourbon—getting into the story behind its relaunch and what to expect from its new blend. And, of course, no episode would be complete without a tasting: listen in as Will and the Greeze crack open the Wild Turkey 8 Year, share their first impressions, and decide if it earns a place as a new home bar essential.
If you're a bourbon geek, looking for candid takes, laughs, and real talk about what's happening on store shelves (and behind the scenes), this episode is packed for you. Pour yourself a dram, settle in, and let's get into it!
