Episode #48 - Blind Box - Sample #33 - The sugar shocker and the great canine walkout

Blind Box #33: Sugar Shocker & The Great Canine Walkout Welcome back to The Third Pour, where the pours are blind, the whiskeys are baffling, and the technical difficulties are guaranteed! This week, The Doc and Izzy dive headfirst into the mystery box to tackle Sample #33, and things get off the rails fast. We pull out a pour that completely breaks our brains—an absolutely baffling, dessert-level sweet whiskey that has us questioning everything we know about mash bills and barrel aging. Is it a masterpiece, or a total sugar bomb? We try to strip away the bottle bias, but this liquid curveball has us spinning. To make matters better (or worse), we have a special studio guest: The Doc’s boxer, Charles! Unfortunately, Charles doesn't have the patience for high-proof evaluation. Right around the halfway mark, he realizes there are no snacks involved, gives us a look of pure judgment, and stages a live walkout. Combine that with Izzy’s microphone deciding to ghost the audio track every five minutes, and you have a masterclass in typical Third Pour chaos. Pour yourself a glass of something good, tolerate our technical gremlins, and let's find out what the heck is inside Sample #33!

Fresh Crack Friday - Featuring Silver Springs Sweet Rye

Kilts on, bottles cracked, and zero filters engaged. On this edition of Fresh Crack Friday, The Doc and Izzy are cracking open one of the most talked-about, highly coveted hidden gems making waves right now: Silver Springs Sweet Rye Whiskey. Bottled at cask strength with a unique mash bill (65\% Rye, 20\% Malted Barley, 15\% Corn), this single barrel release is designed to turn traditional, dry rye conventions completely on their head. The verdict? We both absolutely love this bottle. It packs a deep, complex, sweet-and-spicy punch, but drinks beautifully below its actual proof. Of course, a pour this good warrants some celebration... and some classic The Third Pour derailment: The Doc deploys his patented double sip to break down the real layers of the juice. Izzy keeps the conversation rolling and the energy high while the bottles are open. And naturally, because we are who we are, it isn't long before the guys take some mandatory shots at the state of Missouri. The juice is phenomenal, the energy is wild, and the kilts are non-negotiable. Grab a glass, hit that subscribe button, and don't drink the hype!

In this wild and unscripted episode, The Doc's wife, Curly D, joins the crew to keep everyone honest. Izzy and The Doc drink their way through four blind wheated bourbon samples, breaking down the juice in the glass to rank them purely on taste. Will the legendary Weller Antique 107 hold its crown, or will a dark horse take the top shelf spot? Just when you think the tasting is wrapped, pure chaos hits the studio. The Doc’s dogs, Hope and Charlie, crash the set, causing Curly D to yell, Izzy to shriek like a girl, and the entire episode to devolve into typical Third Pour mayhem.
