This week on Tortured Bourbon, our friend Mike shows up with a Mystery Bourbon—and Heather and B have to figure out what it is without the label. Is it an allocated unicorn or a budget sleeper? Tune in to see how we fared in this blind tasting challenge.

In this blind bourbon showdown, Tortured Bourbon takes on four wheated bourbons—Old Elk, Buffalo Trace Kosher Wheat Recipe, Redwood Empire Screaming Titan, and Spirits of French Lick. With wheat instead of rye, these pours promise softer, sweeter flavors. But when Heather and B don’t know what they’re drinking, who wins the wheated bourbon crown?

Weller Bourbon and Pappy Van Winkle Bourbon share the same Buffalo Trace wheated bourbon mash bill, but are they really the same? Explore the truth behind allocated Kentucky bourbon, the “poor man’s Pappy” myth, and why these bottles remain the most hunted in the bourbon world.
