Bourbon Tasting: Bulleit 7-Year

A reunion worth toasting! After a 50-day recovery from knee replacement surgery, Russ rejoins Matt and Josh for an episode brimming with bourbon knowledge, friendly banter, and genuine camaraderie. The team dives straight into a special tasting of the brand new Bulleit Bottled in Bond Bourbon – the first expression fully produced at Bulleit's own Shelbyville, Kentucky distillery rather than sourced from MPG. This seven-year-old, 100-proof bourbon (priced at a reasonable $45-50) pleasantly surprises our hosts with its complex notes of licorice, brown sugar, and balanced spice. Their enthusiastic review challenges the common perception that Bulleit is merely a mixing bourbon, with all three agreeing this expression stands confidently on its own merits.The episode delivers delightful moments of self-deprecating humor as the hosts discuss their podcast's growing audience and share amusing stories of family reactions – including Russ's granddaughter bluntly informing him he's "not famous." It's these genuine moments, coupled with accessible bourbon education, that make the B-Team Podcast feel less like listening to experts and more like joining friends for a drink.Have you tried the Bulleit Bottled in Bond 7-Year yet?
