EPISODE 9 - When Bourbon Was More Fun
from BBM: AFTER HOURS Hosted by Jack
AFTER HOURS: WHEN BOURBON WAS MORE FUN I picked up a bottle of 1792 Small Batch recently—something I hadn’t had in probably six or eight months. I poured two fingers, took a sip and immediately thought… This doesn’t taste the same. But then I started wondering: Did the bourbon change…or did I? Remember when drinking bourbon was simple? You bought a bottle. You poured it. You liked it or you didn’t. You weren’t worried about secondary prices, allocations, mash bills, batches, laser codes, proof points, hype, rankings or what some guy on the internet said you were supposed to taste. Somewhere along the way, bourbon became a hell of a lot more complicated. So tonight on Bourbon Barrel Mafia: After Hours, I’m talking about whether learning more about bourbon has actually made us enjoy it more—or whether sometimes all that knowledge, hype and chasing gets in the way of the reason we started drinking it in the first place. Maybe we don’t need a rarer bottle. Maybe we don’t need a higher proof. Maybe we just need to pour two fingers, stop giving a shit what everybody else thinks… and drink the fucking bourbon. 🥃 #BourbonBarrelMafia #AfterHours #Bourbon #BourbonWhiskey #Whiskey #BourbonLife #BourbonCommunity #DrinkWhatYouLike #TwoFingers #BourbonTalk
