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.

Russell’s Reserve 13 Bourbon (2025) is here — and it’s coming in hot at 123.8 proof. We put it head-to-head against the dependable Russell’s 10 Bourbon to see which bottle deserves your glass.

We taste Maker’s Mark’s 2024 Heart Release and 2025 Keepers Release—two unique Wood Finishing bourbons that prove why Kentucky still rules the bourbon world.
