In this episode of Bourbon Nerdz, we’re turning up the spice and diving headfirst into the bold, complex world of rye whiskey. From peppery kick to herbal depth, we break down what makes rye such a unique (and sometimes misunderstood) pour.

We highlight some of our personal favorite ryes—from everyday sippers to standout bottles worth hunting—while also pointing out the best bang-for-your-buck options that deliver serious flavor without wrecking your wallet.

New to rye? We’ve got you covered. We talk “bourbon-friendly” ryes that ease you into the category without overwhelming your palate, making this the perfect starting point for anyone rye-curious but not quite ready to go full spice bomb.

Whether you’re a seasoned rye guy or just getting your feet wet, this episode is packed with pours, opinions, and plenty of that Bourbon Nerdz energy. 🥃

We’ve officially crossed the midpoint of the year, so you know what that means—it’s time to take stock of what’s been pouring in our glasses and lighting up our screens.

In this episode of Bourbon Nerdz, we break down our top whiskeys of the year (so far)—the surprises, the heavy hitters, and the bottles we keep reaching for when it’s time to impress or unwind. From bold barrel proofs to smooth everyday sippers, we’re calling it like we taste it.

But it wouldn’t be Bourbon Nerdz without a detour into the nerd side of things. We also dive into our favorite movies and TV shows of the year so far, talking about what’s lived up to the hype, what caught us off guard, and what’s worth your time.

So pour yourself something strong and join us as we look back at the best of the year… so far.
