In this episode, Clifton shares his excitement over several 2026 whiskey releases spotted via new TTB filings — from Knob Creek 12 Cask Strength to an Old Grandad 114 Single Barrel and Rittenhouse’s upcoming 10-Year BIB. After the news, he reviews Copperworks’ brand-new Kilt Lifter Whiskey, a five-year American Single Malt distilled from Pike Brewing’s iconic “Kilt Lifter” ale mash. The pine-heavy nose surprises him, but the palate and finish win him over, earning a high score and a potential spot in his Top 10 Whiskeys of 2025.
