🎃🥃 Things are getting SPOOKY with the Bourbon Nerdz! 👻
It's Halloween season, and the Nerdz are back with an episode full of bourbon, horror, and a little bit of chaos!
This week, we're taking a trip to Sin City (at least in spirit) as we dive into Smoke Wagon Whiskey, exploring what makes this Las Vegas-based brand stand out in the bourbon world.
But the whiskey is only the beginning! We're talking about some of our favorite horror movies, checking in on our fantasy football teams to see who's thriving and who's already digging their own grave, and even discussing some healthier trick-or-treat alternatives (because apparently candy isn't a balanced diet).
Plus, we've got some exciting things coming up for Bourbon Nerdz, and you won't want to miss what's brewing!
So grab your favorite spooky pour, turn down the lights, and join us for a frightfully good time!
Welcome to the Nerd Herd! 🥃🎃

No script. No agenda. Just bourbon.
This week on Bourbon Nerdz, we crack open some Copper & Cask and let the conversation take us wherever it wants to go. One topic quickly takes center stage: does it really matter who distilled the whiskey?
We dive into the debate between brands producing their own distillate and NDPs (Non-Distiller Producers) sourcing whiskey from other distilleries. Is making your own juice automatically more authentic? Should sourced whiskey get less respect? Or does the only thing that really matters happen once that whiskey hits your glass?
We talk sourcing, blending, transparency, brand identity, and why some NDPs are putting out bottles that can hang with—or even beat—whiskey coming straight from the distillery that made it.
Grab a pour and join the Nerd Herd for a freestyle episode full of whiskey, opinions, and probably a few arguments along the way.

What better way to celebrate Bourbon Heritage Month than by pouring a little history into our glasses?
In this special episode of Bourbon Nerdz, we take a journey through the story of whiskey and bourbon — from its early roots and evolution to the traditions, people, places, and innovations that helped shape the American spirit we know today.
We’ll dive into the history of whiskey, uncover some surprising bourbon facts, talk about what makes bourbon uniquely American, and explore the moments that helped turn it into the legendary spirit it is today.
But we’re not just talking about history… we’re drinking it. 🥃
We’ve each brought five bottles, with every pour representing a different piece of bourbon heritage. From historic names and classic styles to bottles that represent the evolution of bourbon, each pour has a story to tell.
📜 In this episode:
• The history of whiskey and bourbon
• Bourbon Heritage Month and why it matters
• Interesting bourbon facts and forgotten history
• The people, places, and traditions that shaped bourbon
• 5 bottles representing different parts of bourbon heritage
• Tasting notes, stories, opinions, and plenty of Nerdz conversation
• And, of course, some good old-fashioned whiskey nerdiness
So grab your favorite Glencairn, pour yourself something special, and raise a glass to the history behind the bottle.
