S12 - Episode 5 - A Steady Pour of Sazerac Pours & Buff Turkey Hype

Send us Fan Mail This episode starts off light but quickly turns into one of those “wait… is this really good? or are we being sold on hype?” whiskey conversations. The crew cracks open two very different pours—one that looks the part but doesn’t quite deliver, and another that has everyone rethinking value vs. hype. From brutally honest ratings to hilarious analogies, they break down what makes a bottle worth your time—and what definitely isn’t. Then things take a turn as they dive into one of the most talked-about trends in whiskey right now: “Buff Turkey.” What is it really? Is it genius… or just marketing? The conversation gets deeper as they unpack how collaborations, sourcing, and hype culture are shaping the industry—and whether consumers are being influenced more than they realize. Along the way, you’ll get bold takes, a few wild theories, and plenty of laughs. If you’ve ever wondered what’s actually worth buying versus what just sounds good online, this episode is for you. Tune in and decide for yourself. 🥃
