  Is a Longer Bourbon Finish Actually Better? — The Cut — S02E115

  Aug 19, 20265 minS2

  Bardstown Bourbon Company confirmed identical $139.99 pricing on two very different fall releases landing August 21: Lochs of Jura Barrel Finish, a 104-proof blend finished 32 months in Scotch casks from Islay's Isle of Jura that scored 99 points at a major competition, and 2026 Discovery, a hotter 112.8-proof bourbon finished just four months in Oregon Garryana oak. Same price, same week, two different bets.

  Is Maker's Mark 46 Worth the Hype After Its 99-Point Score? — The Cut — S02E114

  Aug 18, 20265 minS2

  Maker's Mark 46 just earned a 99-out-of-100 Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, adding to an earlier World's Best Finished Bourbon win. The bottle is 94 proof, about $40, and sitting on shelves nationwide — no lottery, no allocation. Two competitions, two panels, same bottle landing near the top both times. Price and quality rarely line up this cleanly.

  Aug 17, 20266 minS2

  Redemption's first bottled-in-bond bourbon, Single Barrel Bonded, clears the federal four-year minimum by two full years while staying at the mandatory 100 proof — and it's priced at $49.99. Distilled at MGP's Ross & Squibb Distillery in Indiana, bottled by Redemption in Frankfort, Kentucky. It joins the brand's ongoing Higher Marques Collection, with national rollout starting in September.

  Chattanooga's Moldovan Ice Wine Barrel Finish — The Cut Weekend — S02E111

  Aug 15, 20264 minS2

  It's Saturday, so Franklin slows down and looks back at what the week in bourbon actually added up to. The throughline was brands proving what's theirs — from a new Lexington distillery for Never Say Die to Garrison Brothers publishing its entire Cowboy Bourbon plan. The centerpiece is Chattanooga Whiskey's rare Moldovan ice wine cask finish, plus a look at what's actually grabbable this weekend in Wyoming and beyond.
