146.8 PROOF HAZMAT! ☢️ Buckner’s 13 vs. Old Route 8 ft. Todd Couper

Tonight on Bourbon Bytes, we are running a gauntlet of five heavy-hitters from Augusta Distillery. Joining me is Todd Couper, a Bourbon Terabyte member of the Byte Club, to help navigate these high-proof single barrels. We're starting with the brand new Wheated Single Barrel to set the baseline before moving into the high-octane 13-year Buckner's. 🥃 The Flight List: • Augusta Wheated Single Barrel (119.3 Proof - 2026 Release) • Old Route 8 Single Barrel (120 Proof - 2025) • Old Route 8 Single Barrel (122.4 Proof - 2023) • Buckner's 13-Year Single Barrel (145.12 Proof) • Buckner's 13-Year Single Barrel (146.8 Proof) We're looking for the nuance behind the heat. Does the 13-year age statement hold its own against the punchy Old Route 8? And how does the new Wheated label fit into the Augusta legacy? Grab a glass, and hang out for a while. 🥃🎮 ⏱️ Timestamps for the Replay Squad: 0:00 - Intro & Welcome Todd Couper 1:50 - All About Augusta Distillery 4:56 - Tasting Augusta Wheated Single Barrel (119.3 Proof) 13:01 - Tasting Old Route 8 Single Barrel (120 Proof) 24:44 - Tasting Old Route 8 Single Barrel (122.4 Proof) 38:43 - Tasting Buckner's 13-Year (145.12 Proof) 51:02 - Tasting Buckner's 13-Year (146.8 Proof Hazmat) 1:04:30 - Final Thoughts & Community Outro 🥃 JOIN THE BYTE CLUB Want access to our exclusive weekly After Party hangouts on Discord, monthly blind samples, early video access, and live stream perks?
