George Dickel x Leopold Bros Rye Whiskey Review + RuneScape Turns 25!
Jan 22, 2026
This week on Bourbon Bytes (a whiskey podcast with a gaming twist), I’m breaking down the latest whiskey headlines, a Lunar New Year Scotch that sounds too good, and some gaming news I’m genuinely excited about.
🥃 Whiskey News
• Knob Creek x Eli Manning single barrel collab
• Woodford Reserve Double Double Oaked (2026) goes beyond distillery-only (but that $200 price…)
• Tomatin Year of the Horse 14 Year (PX sherry butt, cask strength)
🎮 Gaming News
• RuneScape turns 25 (year-long celebration)
• Life is Strange: Reunion details + release date
• Ranger’s Path: National Park Simulator is my exact brand of cozy chaos
⭐ Byte-Sized Review
I review the George Dickel x Leopold Bros Collaboration Blend Three Chamber Rye: bright, floral, super unique, and unexpectedly great in a Manhattan. I also break down whether it makes sense at MSRP.
