Episode 400: Interview with Bourbon Legend Freddie Johnson

Four. Hundred. Episodes. Somehow, some way… we made it. For this massive milestone, Cole and Bryan are beyond honored to welcome Freddie Johnson of Buffalo Trace to celebrate Episode 400. Having Freddie join us for this one feels right — a true ambassador of bourbon, history, and hospitality sitting down to talk life and whiskey on a landmark episode. Of course, we couldn’t do 400 without pouring something special. The boys crack into some absolute heavy hitters — think Pappy and George T. Stagg — but what starts as a celebration of big bottles quickly becomes something deeper. This episode turns into an honest, thoughtful conversation about life, legacy, whiskey, and the relationships that really matter. It’s reflective. It’s meaningful. It’s the kind of episode that reminds us why we started this podcast in the first place. No Whiskey World News. No “What Whiskey Would You Choose?” Just good people, great whiskey, and a moment to appreciate 400 episodes of Chill Filtered. 🥃 We couldn’t have done it without you.
