Ep. 1 — Stagg, BTAC & NDPs to Watch (with The Woodford Bourbon Guy)

The debut episode of The Tater Table started as a TikTok Live and turned into a full-on bourbon deep dive. Host Seth Berman (Ohio Bourbon Bro) is joined by Jay — The Woodford Bourbon Guy for a wide-ranging conversation that covers: * Stagg 2025 releases (25A, 25B, 25C), flavor profiles, and the return of those dark cherry/dark fruit notes * How current Stagg compares to earlier batches and how to drink it (why you shouldn’t rush the pour) * Stagg vs Eagle Rare, mash bills, and why Stagg rye is “barely” a rye * BTAC lineup talk, secondary pricing, and which bottles are actually worth chasing * NDPs to watch going into 2026 — Shortbarrel, Onyx & Amber, Dark Arts, River Roots, Penelope, and more * Why Penelope is pulling Heaven Hill juice for some age-stated releases * The bourbon “glut,” THC beverages, younger drinkers shifting habits, and whether we’re seeing the start of a correction * How heritage distilleries like Buffalo Trace, Heaven Hill, and Woodford can stay relevant with pricing and proof points What started as a casual live stream became the first official episode of The Tater Table — and a solid blueprint for what this show is going to be.
