The Third Pour - Blind Box Edition - Sample #38

The Funk, The Whole Funk, and Nothing But The Funk Buckle up, folks, because things are getting weird in the tasting room. Today, Izzy and the Doc pull Sample #38 from the blind box, and it’s safe to say neither of them was prepared for what hit the glass. From the first sniff, it’s clear this isn't your standard bourbon. The Doc—usually the voice of reason and precise tasting notes—finds himself completely untethered, unable to pin down a single familiar profile. Is it rum finished bourbon? Is it an experimental finish? Is it… socks? Meanwhile, Izzy is swinging for the fences with a chaotic energy that leads them down every rabbit hole imaginable. The guesses are flying, the palates are confused, and the confidence levels are plummeting. In this episode: • The Nose: Earthy, "funky," and genuinely baffling. • The Guess: A total swing and a miss. • The Proof: Let’s just say the burn didn't tell the story they thought it did. • The Reveal: A humbling moment that leaves both hosts questioning everything they know about the grain. Grab a glass (maybe one with some character) and join us for a masterclass in how to be spectacularly wrong. It’s funky, it’s frustrating, and it’s pure Third Pour chaos.
