Elijah Craig Ryder Cup Review + Ocarina of Time Remake?!

Bourbon Heritage Month is officially heating up, and this week’s Bourbon Bytes is packed with limited-edition whiskey news, a huge Nintendo surprise, and a fall-ready Elijah Craig review. Heaven Hill kicks things off with the 20th Parker’s Heritage Collection: a 14-year Kentucky straight bourbon made using rye backset during fermentation. Bottled at 118 proof and limited to just 100 barrels, this is one of the releases I’m most excited to hunt this fall. Brown-Forman is also bringing Kentucky Boy Bourbon back from the dead for a special release honoring master distiller Chris Morris’ 50-year career, while Four Roses is blending a massive 23-year-old OESK component into its 2026 Limited Edition Small Batch. Then Woodinville finally reaches double-digit age with its first 10 Year Bourbon, and Ardbeg adds a new permanent 15-year-old expression, Trudernish, to its core lineup. On the gaming side, Nintendo dropped one of the biggest nostalgia bombs of the year: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is getting a full Nintendo Switch 2 remake. We’re talking modernized visuals, fully voiced cutscenes, expanded dialogue, orchestral music, and a November 5 release date. As someone who grew up with classic Nintendo, this one hit me right in the nostalgia. Then it’s time for a Byte-Sized Review of the 2025 Elijah Craig Ryder Cup Limited Edition. This 94-proof bourbon takes classic Elijah Craig and finishes it with toasted sugar maple and applewood staves as a nod to the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black in New York. The result surprised me. Expect oak, brown sugar, caramel pie crust, cinnamon, baked apple, maple sweetness, and a rich dessert-like profile that immediately made me think of warm apple pie at Thanksgiving. Originally released around $70 and now showing up in some markets for considerably less, is this forgotten Ryder Cup bottle actually worth grabbing? 🥃 Topics covered: Parker’s Heritage 14 Year Bourbon Kentucky Boy Bourbon returns Four Roses 2026 Limited Edition Small Batch Woodinville 10 Year Bourbon Ardbeg Trudernish 15 Year The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake Nintendo Switch 2 Elijah Craig 2025 Ryder Cup Limited Edition review Is this the best Elijah Craig Ryder Cup release yet?   Chapter Markers: 00:00 Intro – Parker’s Heritage, Zelda & Elijah Craig 00:30 Welcome + Bourbon Heritage Month 01:35 Parker’s Heritage 14 Year Rye Backset Bourbon 03:10 Kentucky Boy Bourbon Returns 05:01 Four Roses 2026 Limited Edition Small Batch 06:44 Woodinville 10 Year Bourbon 08:27 Ardbeg Trudernish 15 Year 09:27 The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake 11:32 Byte Club + Bourbon Bytes Update 12:29 Byte-Sized Review – Elijah Craig 2025 Ryder Cup 18:35 Outro
