In this Pour Decisions Wednesday, we take on Mystic Arcana from Mystic Farm & Distillery — a 100-proof craft wheated bourbon blend that mixes soft sweetness with mellow spice. We explore its origin, tasting notes, and whether it earns a top spot on the Tortured Bourbon scale.

Texas BBQ. Four bold bourbons. One wild live tasting. In this Tortured Bourbon Live episode, we pit Still Austin and Garrison Brothers against each other with a crowd full of guests and a plate full of brisket. It’s smoky, spicy, and unapologetically Texan. Who wins? You’ll have to watch to find out.

On this week’s Pour Decisions Wednesday, we face Heaven Hill’s Grain to Glass Bourbon—an experimental release with full seed-to-bottle control, a proprietary corn strain, and serious craft whiskey ambition. After surviving the peppermint PTSD of their Grain to Glass Rye, Heather and B brace for either redemption or regret in this 107-proof high-rye bourbon showdown.

In this third episode of Pour Decisions Wednesday, we pour one out for Indiana’s heritage distilling with a lesser-known wheated bourbon that’s been turning quiet heads in craft whiskey circles: William Dalton Bottled in Bond Wheated Bourbon from Spirits of French Lick.

Forget the mass-produced mash bills and corporate-age statements—this is bourbon the old-school way: grain-to-glass, pot-stilled, and made with locally sourced ingredients. At 100 proof and over four years old, this craft wheater pays tribute to William Dalton, an early Indiana distiller whose legacy lives on in this small-batch bottle.
