Show Notes

It’s 2026, and we’re finishing what we started: Bourbons of the Year (even when they’re not all bourbons… because of course they aren’t).

In Part 2, Tony Katz reveals his Top 3 from everything we reviewed this year — bourbon, rye, rum, Irish whiskey, whatever. We also keep smoking the Oliva Master Blends 3 and get into the important questions:

  • Why five-pack cigar packaging looks like it was designed by a committee of raccoons

  • Why “does it work neat?” is the only real test

  • And why your retirement account may be quietly setting you up for a penalty

Tony’s Top 3 (and yes, it gets weird):

  • #3: Espy House “The George” 1794 Bourbon — $60.99

  • #2: Keeper’s Heart Irish + American Whiskey (110 proof) — $44.99

  • #1: Bacoo 12-Year Rum — $35.99

Plus: what’s coming in 2026 — Cigars of the Year next week, more food, more tequila, and maybe finally Let’s Go Grill and the cookbook.
