It’s Chill Filtered’s 2025 Christmas Episode, and the boys go all out. Cole and Bryan sit down with the entire lineup of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, sipping through every pour while soaking in the holiday spirit. Between glasses, they crack open an incredible stack of presents sent in by listeners, and once again, they’re completely floored by the generosity of this community. This year comes with an extra dose of Christmas magic too—Cole and Bryan are able to give gifts back to every single gifter, making it a true full-circle holiday celebration. No segments, no structure to worry about—just great whiskey, big laughs, heartfelt moments, and a whole lot of gratitude. It’s festive, it’s fun-filled, and it’s everything they love about doing this show. Pour yourself something special, get comfy, and celebrate Christmas with Chill Filtered. 💫
On this episode of Chill Filtered, Cole and Bryan crack into a Campbeltown classic: Springbank 12 Year Cask Strength (2025) — a release that never fails to get whiskey nerds buzzing. Before the first sip, the conversation wanders through Cole’s Disney World adventures with the family, a little nostalgic detour into ’90s bands like the Toadies, and a deep dive into what makes Springbank 12 CS such a uniquely special (and highly anticipated) annual release. For Whiskey World News, Bryan rounds up some of the notable new whiskey releases dropping this month, keeping everyone’s shelves—and wish lists—nice and stressed. And on “What Whiskey Would You Choose?”, the boys toss out a very timely question: Did you order Found North Snow Day? Settle in, pour something you love, and enjoy a laid-back but flavor-packed episode. Springbank fans… this one’s for you. 🥃
On this episode of Chill Filtered, Cole and Bryan pour something serious — Knob Creek 21 Year Bourbon. Before diving into a whiskey with an age statement that would’ve seemed impossible not that long ago, the conversation wanders through Sylvia Plath, mental health, meaningful numbers, and eventually circles back to how (and why) ultra-aged bourbon is making a confident return. Once the glasses are poured, the boys break down the background of Knob Creek, the disappearance of extreme age statements in the past, and what it says about today’s whiskey landscape that bottles like this even exist again. On Whiskey World News, Bryan runs through upcoming releases that have people paying attention, including Elijah Craig 15 Year and Wilderness Trail 10 Year Bourbon. And for “What Whiskey Would You Choose?”, the question gets sentimental: What is your most memorable distillery tour — and what made it stick with you? Big age, thoughtful conversation, and plenty to chew on in this one. Pour something nice and hang with us. 🥃
On this episode of Chill Filtered, Cole and Bryan are joined by one of their all-time favorite guests — and his brother (for the first time!) — Nick and Zach Taylor from Found North! The guys are on the podcast to celebrate and represent their brand-new release, Found North Snow Day — an email-list-only drop that was announced the very same day this episode goes live. Talk about timing…
Nick dives deep into whiskey, blending, and barrel selection, while Zach brings the business-side perspective — and of course, plenty of whiskey talk too. From how Snow Day came to be, to what makes this release so special, to life, family, and running a whiskey brand together… this one is packed with great stories and even better vibes.
These two together are a blast, and we’re genuinely honored to have them back on the show for such an exciting, fresh release. Pour a glass and hang with us for a fun, informative, and very on-brand Found North episode. 🥃❄️

First podcast I go to each week. Hanging out with friends, drinking great whiskey. I was in a non-ABC state and bought a bunch of whiskey that was entirely inspired by this podcast, and I'm loving it. If you like it, sponsor on Patreon at the $10 tier or higher. Participation in the drink-a-longs more than pays for it. You would never get any of these pours, in any bar, for $10. Some of these would be $25 at least.
Great podcast for learning about all the different kinds of whiskey (and whisky) out there, how to enjoy it and have a lot of fun listening to the discussion.
