ABOUT THIS EPISODE
No script. No agenda. Just bourbon.
This week on Bourbon Nerdz, we crack open some Copper & Cask and let the conversation take us wherever it wants to go. One topic quickly takes center stage: does it really matter who distilled the whiskey?
We dive into the debate between brands producing their own distillate and NDPs (Non-Distiller Producers) sourcing whiskey from other distilleries. Is making your own juice automatically more authentic? Should sourced whiskey get less respect? Or does the only thing that really matters happen once that whiskey hits your glass?
We talk sourcing, blending, transparency, brand identity, and why some NDPs are putting out bottles that can hang with—or even beat—whiskey coming straight from the distillery that made it.
Grab a pour and join the Nerd Herd for a freestyle episode full of whiskey, opinions, and probably a few arguments along the way.
