Love the content. The guys really do mix up the bourbons and keep the banter fun and informative. Please bring back the old intro song the new one is horrible.

The Bourbon Hunters podcast is a solid choice for bourbon enthusiasts looking for an approachable and engaging show. Its strengths lie in the hosts' genuine camaraderie, honest tasting notes, and a willingness to explore various aspects of the bourbon world. They can get a little sidetracked with off topic subjects but if you enjoy a casual, conversational style and want to expand your bourbon knowledge, "The Bourbon Hunters" is definitely worth a listen.

I have an overnight job with lots of solitude that allows me many hours weekly to listen to audiobooks and podcasts. I listen to three bourbon related podcasts but The Bourbon Hunters podcasts were my first intro and remain my favorite. Listening to their back catalog of episodes also introduced me to Bourbon Pursuit and The Black and Brown Podcast. As I begin my second year of whiskey interest I head into 2025 in a much better headspace than when my podcast feed was all scandal and true crime. The only downside I can think of is my wallet is a little lighter since developing a taste for bourbon. I appreciate listening to TBH dive into the history of the spirits the try on the show and it sounds like they all are good friends and have quite the collection and selection. Honestly the episodes that stick out to me the most are the ones where they try the old Wild Turkey cheesey gold foil bottles or the Pride of Anderson county. Those sound like my ultimate unicorns. Keep up the good work and thanks for all the hours of great content for us nightshift guys delivering groceries

Cannot wait each week for the new podcast to upload and listen to the back and forth banter on each review. Great splits on whiskey talk and updates on releases! This bayou boy from Louisiana is an avid listener! Keep it up!

Always on the hunt for a new podcast and a different perspective. First impressions started with a Mouth Feel Monday. I am hoping the constant lip smacking isn’t a recurring theme as it’s a huge turn off. We know you’re tasting, we don’t need to hear your KY chew while doing so. Will continue to listen to a few more in search of a fresh perspective on bourbon and will update my review accordingly.
