The next episode of the Blind Tiger Collective Podcast is shaping up to be one of our most entertaining and educational conversations yet. Whether you're a seasoned bourbon hunter, a casual enthusiast, or someone who simply enjoys a good pour and a great story, this episode has something for everyone.
The Hunt for Allocations
Let's face it—allocated bourbon has become one of the most talked-about topics in whiskey culture. From limited releases to store picks that disappear within minutes, bourbon hunters are constantly searching for the next great bottle.
In this episode, the Blind Tiger crew dives into the current allocation landscape. What bottles are actually showing up on shelves? Which allocated releases are worth the chase? And perhaps most importantly, which bottles have become overhyped?
We'll share insights from our own experiences, discuss current trends in the market, and talk about how bourbon enthusiasts can navigate the allocation game without losing sight of what really matters: enjoying great whiskey.
Bourbon Festival Do's and Don'ts
Festival season is here, and if you've ever attended a bourbon festival, you know it can be one of the best experiences in whiskey culture—or one of the most overwhelming.
Our team breaks down the essential do's and don'ts for making the most of your next bourbon festival.
We'll cover:
How to pace yourself throughout the day
The importance of hydration and food
Why conversations with distillers are often more valuable than chasing the rarest pour
Festival etiquette that every bourbon fan should know
Tips for beginners attending their first event
Common mistakes that can ruin an otherwise great experience
Whether you're headed to a major festival or a local tasting event, these tips can help you maximize the experience and leave with great memories instead of regrets.
Bourbon History Trivia Showdown
No Blind Tiger Collective episode would be complete without a little friendly competition.
This episode features a bourbon history trivia challenge that tests the knowledge of our hosts on everything from Kentucky bourbon origins to legendary distilleries and historic whiskey moments.
Who knows their bourbon history best? Who folds under pressure? And who ends up earning bragging rights until the next episode?
You'll have the opportunity to play along and see how your bourbon knowledge stacks up against the crew.
More Than Just Bourbon
At Blind Tiger Collective, we believe bourbon is more than what's in the glass. It's the stories, the history, the friendships, and the experiences that bring people together.
This episode captures all of that—serious bourbon discussion, practical advice, plenty of laughs, and a healthy dose of competition.
So pour yourself something neat, settle into your favorite chair, and join us for another conversation celebrating the culture that makes bourbon special.
Stay tuned for the release of the latest Blind Tiger Collective Podcast, featuring Terry Barga, Joe Beecroft, Charlie Sells, and Christy Pruitt-Haynes.
The hunt continues. The stories get better. And the bourbon always flows.
