Welcome in Whiskey Freaks to a quick-hit episode where we shine a light on a bourbon that gets ignored, disrespected, and totally overlooked. I’m talkin’ Old Forester Statesman, a solid, balanced straight bourbon whiskey that quietly bridges the gap between entry-level and high-proof pours. We dive into the history, the story behind the bottle, and why it deserves a spot in your collection. Grab a glass, tune in, and let’s give this underdog the respect it’s been missing.

Today on the Blind Tasting Podcast, we’re diving headfirst into all things bourbon. We talk Garrison Brothers’ 2026 Lady Bird Bourbon and the limited Cask Strength, Lux Row Estate Bourbon grown right on the distillery’s land, Ezra Brooks 90 Proof sweepstakes (yep, 90 prizes for 90 proof), and Remus Bourbon’s Ross & Squibb VIP trip contest. I also hand you a dangerously easy Jim Beam Pineapple cocktail recipe, sip on Bookers The Beam House Batch, and give you my honest, zero-BS take on what’s worth your money and what’s just hype. Pour a drink, buckle up, and let’s figure out bourbon together,
