New releases from Knob Creek and Woodford Reserve lead off the show, plus a quick spotlight on Tomatin’s Year of the Horse 14 Year. On the gaming side, RuneScape’s 25th anniversary and two upcoming games (including a national park sim) make for great convo. Then it’s review time: George Dickel x Leopold Bros Three Chamber Rye brings a bright, floral curveball and earns a 7/10 at MSRP.

Description

This week on Bourbon Bytes (a whiskey podcast with a gaming twist), I’m covering a couple big whiskey headlines, a Lunar New Year Scotch release, and some gaming news that has me genuinely hyped. 🥃 Whiskey News Knob Creek drops a new Eli Manning single barrel collab Woodford Reserve Double Double Oaked (2026) expands beyond distillery-only (but that price…) Tomatin Year of the Horse 14 Year (PX sherry butt, cask strength) sounds dangerously good 🎮 Gaming News RuneScape turns 25 (year-long celebration) New Life is Strange: Reunion details + release date Ranger’s Path: National Park Simulator looks like my exact kind of cozy chaos ⭐ Byte-Sized Review I review the George Dickel x Leopold Bros Collaboration Blend Three Chamber Rye and break down the unique floral profile, value at MSRP, and why it became a killer Manhattan rye.
