Wyld Pours is your offbeat guide to bold spirits, unfiltered conversations, and the wild world of beverages.
Formerly Distilled: Legends & Lore, the show is now a spirited exploration of what's in your glass, and who’s behind it. From bottle battles and blind pours to raw conversations with distillers, brewers, vintners, and bar pros, we go off the beaten path with every episode.
If you love sipping something strange, discovering underrated gems, and guessing what’s in the glass, this is your pour.
Hosted by Yakira, aka The Curated Cup.
