Pineapple Rum Finished Bourbon From BBCO! Crazy?

Send us Fan Mail We ride the high of the Brewers finally winning the World Series and talk about why it hits different when you have waited decades.

Waiting 44 years for a championship does something to your brain, and when the Brewers finally get that World Series trophy, we are not going to pretend we’re calm about it. We start with the fan side: the memories, the 1982 heartbreak, the new era of baseball, and that unreal feeling of watching young players win rings that legends never got to wear. If you love baseball stories that feel personal, this opening run is for you. Then we swing hard into whiskey with a bottle that practically dares you to have an opinion: Bardstown Bourbon Company’s Victoria Pineapple rum barrel finished release. We dig into what’s in the blend (mature Indiana distilled bourbon and rye), why the 27-month rum cask finishing matters, and the detail that really changes the conversation: fresh pineapple introduced during finishing. That’s where we ask the big question: is this still “finishing,” or has it crossed into infusion, and does the label even matter if it tastes amazing? We run a full barrel bottle breakdown across nose, body, taste, and finish, calling out notes like rum candy, brown sugar, and pineapple upside-down cake, plus that tangy pineapple dryness that shows up late. You’ll also catch our live chaos, including a surprise Halloween spooky bat cameo, a value debate around the $139.99 price tag, and cocktail talk that ends with one clear idea: a bourbon piña colada needs to happen.

Waiting 44 years for a championship does something to your brain, and when the Brewers finally get that World Series trophy, we are not going to pretend we’re calm about it. We start with the fan side: the memories, the 1982 heartbreak, the new era of baseball, and that unreal feeling of watching young players win rings that legends never got to wear. If you love baseball stories that feel personal, this opening run is for you.

Then we swing hard into whiskey with a bottle that practically dares you to have an opinion: Bardstown Bourbon Company’s Victoria Pineapple rum barrel finished release. We dig into what’s in the blend (mature Indiana distilled bourbon and rye), why the 27-month rum cask finishing matters, and the detail that really changes the conversation: fresh pineapple introduced during finishing.
