Nick Hardy

This episode is a tasting-heavy Bourbon Brass and Beyond conversation focused on three Wild Turkey bottles, with plenty of side-by-side comparison and bottle history. Nick and Michael join Dan and Bob for a relaxed but detailed look at an 1983 Wild Turkey 8 Year 101 proof dusty, Wild Turkey Generations, and the Austin Nichols Archive Gold Foil Edition 16 Year.The discussion matters because it goes beyond “good bourbon” and gets into how age, proof, packaging, and time in the bottle change the experience. If you like hearing how seasoned drinkers compare old and new releases, this one stays very specific and very useful. #bourbon #wildturkey #brucerussell #whiskey #Cheesygoldfoil #podcast #bourbontasting #bourbonbrassandbeyond #russellsreserve #jimmyrussell #eddierussell

Dan is joined by Nick and Calvin for a Wild Turkey-heavy tasting of 3 Masters Keep expressions, kicking off a multi-part vertical through Nick’s collection. The episode is less about formal review scores and more about comparing how Eddie Russell’s blending choices, age statements, proof points, and warehouse influence show up across each bottle. In this episode, they also talk about upcoming bottle shares, Bourbon and Beyond media access, and where the Masters Keep line is headed next. #wildturkey #russellsreserve #eddierussell #bourbon #whiskey #podcast #bourbonbrassandbeyond #bourbontasting #whiskeytasting #bottleshare #bourbonandbeyond #monksroad #specialrelease #masterskeep

Dan welcomes Calvin and Nick back home for a bourbon-heavy catch-up that mixes recent distillery trips, barrel picks, and a standout tasting lineup. The episode is especially notable for a 2019 Pappy 23 pour that Preston Van Winkle personally identified by nose as Bernheim-era juice, plus a deep dive into what makes Buzzard's Roost's double-oaked approach unique. #bourbon #whiskey #bourbontasting #singlebarrel #bourbonbrassandbeyond #pappy #pappyvanwinkle #pappyandco #buzzardsroost #peerless #oldripvanwinkle #pappy23 #pappycigars #drewestate #podcast
