EP 32 Widow Jane Apple Wood: The Rye Reckoning
About this episode
In Episode 32 of Old Fashioned Friendship, Brandon and Bobby settle in for another night of bourbon, banter, and the kind of stories that only come from two decades of friendship. This week, the guys continue their Widow Jane series with the Apple Wood Rye — a bottle that has Brandon nervous, Bobby excited, and both of them curious to see if this might finally be the rye that converts a lifelong bourbon drinker.
Before the first sip, the conversation spirals (in classic fashion) into everything from updating their long‑ignored Top Gear bourbon list to D&D Sundays, friends who never know what bottle to buy, and the eternal struggle of remembering which bourbons deserve a spot on the shelf. They dive into Christmas party prep, Secret Santa chaos, and the long‑awaited arrival of the Remus Babe Ruth bottle — a chase that’s been months in the making.
Along the way, they revisit old trophies, beer‑pong war stories, questionable home‑improvement decisions, and the philosophy of giving gifts that actually mean something. It’s equal parts nostalgia, chaos, and genuine appreciation for good whiskey and good company.
With the Apple Wood Rye poured and the holiday season in full swing, this episode is warm, funny, and unmistakably Old Fashioned Friendship — where the bourbon is smooth, the stories are real, and the laughs never stop.
