Episode #85 - Fresh Crack Friday: Redwood Empire Hyperion - Frankenstein Whiskey or Masterpiece?

On this week’s Fresh Crack Friday, the fellas are cracking into one of the most anticipated releases of the year—The Hyperion by Redwood Empire! This highly allocated, limited-time offering breaks all the rules. Blending four distinct whiskey styles (bourbon, rye, wheat whiskey, and American single malt) across more than 10 different mash bills and 79 barrels, this is a true "Frankenstein" or "meatloaf" pour.  From the nose all the way through the finish, Hyperion delivers a completely unique profile—but does high ambition equal a great pour? Tune in as Doc and Izzy break down the nose, palate, and finish to reveal where this monster bottle lands on the official Third Pour rating scale!  Plus, stick around to the end for a great catch-up with the guys and a sneak peek at what's getting cracked next Friday.
