Episode 393: The 2025 Chillies Awards

It’s that time again. 🎉🥃
Welcome to the 2025 Chillies Awards Show — our annual end-of-year celebration where Cole and Bryan crown their favorite whiskeys of the year and crack open some of their favorite pours to mark the occasion.

There’s no history segment, no Whiskey World News, and no “What Whiskey Would You Choose?” this week. This episode is all about vibes, reflections, and handing out trophies (imaginary ones, but still very prestigious).

Expect awards like:

Most Hubbadawhat – the whiskey that shocked us in the best way possible

Most Hubbadabutt – the whiskey that… well… shocked us for other reasons

And plenty more categories that only make sense in the Chill Filtered universe

It’s a laid-back, celebratory episode full of hot takes, laughs, and year-in-review goodness as we toast to another year of incredible whiskey and even better company. Pour yourself something nice and hang with us — this one’s all about the winners. 🏆🥃
