The bourbon world has been debating one question ever since Brown-Forman sold Early Times to Sazerac: did the new Early Times Bottled in Bond change? In this episode of Tortured Bourbon, we compare the original Brown-Forman Early Times BiB to the newer Sazerac-produced version in a side-by-side bourbon tasting to see which one deserves a place on your shelf.

In the most unhinged bourbon review we’ve ever filmed, Tortured Bourbon reveals the true secret behind Buffalo Trace—and it’s not what you think. Lab coats, vodka tastings, conspiracy theories, and bison visions collide in this wild ride of an episode. It’s bourbon lore meets April Fools’ chaos. Trust us—you’ll never look at Wheatley Vodka the same way again.
