Thunderball 60th Anniversary/Hardin's Creek Warehouse Series Kentucky Straight Bourbon

This week, pour yourself something strong and cue up the underwater jet packs—we’re celebrating 60 years of Thunderball.In this episode of Drinks and a Movie, we dive back into the 1965 Bond spectacle to see how it holds up six decades later, from its lavish action set pieces to its larger-than-life villainy and unmistakable Sean Connery swagger. But the martini isn’t just shaken—we crack open the pages too. Along the way, we compare the film to Ian Fleming’s Thunderball novel, breaking down what the movie keeps, what it changes, and whether the story works better on the page or on the screen.To keep things properly cinematic, we’re also tasting and reviewing all three new Hardin’s Creek Warehouse Series bourbons, exploring how each expression differs and which one deserves a spot on your shelf for your next Bond marathon.It’s classic Bond, thoughtful comparisons, and serious bourbon talk—because some anniversaries deserve both a rewatch and a refill.
