Most authentic bourbon reviews. You guys have an amazing channel, I love the fact that you go out and find your own bourbon and you’re not getting free bottles from distelleries and you’re giving your honest opinion without being tainted by free unicorn bottles. Cheers to 100k!
Photosynthesis…. That’s what I’m telling the guy at my local liquor store from now on. “Give me something that tastes like photosynthesis”. Great episode guys. Keep up the good work.
Yes!
I think Trenton might have chewed the wrong dandelion when he described the tasting notes as Photosynthesis. Love that description.
@@Ringleader3rik yeah that dandelion might have been visited by a dog or two :).
All I have to say is keep making these videos PLEASE! Y’all are by far my favorite channel to watch. I appreciate the honesty, humility & humbleness approach to how you describe and discovery bourbon and other liquors for that matter. All while y’all are pretty damn spot on with your knowledge. Keep it goin fellas!!
John J Bowman used to be a daily drinker but is almost impossible to find in VA now. I've seen more bottles of Blanton's in the last few months than JJB. Lol. I've started buying the easier to find Bowman Brothers Small Batch which is closer to Buffalo Trace but JJB is slightly better than EH Taylor to me.
I'm having the John J Bowman Single Barrel at home tonight and when I was sipping on it I got the "sweet tart finish" that Trent brings up from time to time. Still a very underrated bottle IMO, but just a matter of finding it a lot of the time. Great video!
I love how you guys really put in the effort to try and figure out the ingredients
Love these! Mom always does a good job of selecting! Great video as always fellas!
Love the honest and unbiased videos. So many people associate price with quality. These videos show that when you go in without any expectations you might be surprised where bottles fall into place.
Your channel has become my favorite on RUclips. I have learned A lot from you guys!
I love these shows. Great video!
New to the bourbon world and I’ve appreciated watching you guys. I’ve learned a lot! Thanks 🤙🏽
Same!! I am about 3 weeks into Bourbon exploration! Still not getting all the notes but it's coming! I suggest Angels Envy!!!
Keep trying new stuff and enjoy. One trick that helped early on was to let the glass dry out after you've had your whiskey. Then, return to the glass and smell it. The very 1st time I tried this, I couldn't believe that the Rye I'd had smelled just like an oatmeal cookie. To improve tasting, get the whiskey all around your mouth. Have fun!
The best and most entertaining reviews on RUclips. You guys are costing me a fair little.bit of coin! Thanks!
I was impressed Trent knew what a rolodex is.
I love you guys! I've been drinking bourbon for years but have been mainly Makers mark and Jim Beam but in the last few months started trying other's! I now have approx 30 bottles and we seem to have the same palette because you guys haven't steered me wrong yet!
Great job and entertaining as always. SLB Drinks should go over 100K Subscribers this weekend! Well deserved. You will need to find a place to display your RUclips 100K award so we can see it.
Agreed. This is my No.1 Bourbon show.
Guys, you are close to 100K subscribers, happy to see you reaching this milestone!
Baker's 7 was on my wishlist and just recently found one. It's a great pour! I may be biased since I love Knob Creek! Great show! MATER 😆
I was actually drinking Bowman brothers small batch tonight! I grew up in Fredericksburg Va and live an hour from the bowman distillery. I’m planning a visit next month for my birthday
As you know I love all your videos but I think these blind taste tests are my favs.
I do blinds myself often with only 2 at a time (because I only have 2 glancarin glasses...at the moment).
I will have to look for and try the Bowman. I do have to mention that 2 of my fav single barrels were your picks: New Riff and Wilderness Trail.
Another great blind! I have to find a John J Bowman now. Thanks for all you do for your community.
Great tasting! Always love the content and commentary! Cheers to you both!
You two are cracking me up! I laughed out loud about the Mater frosting! And I'm also a big fan of the WTWT, Matt Porter! I've been looking for John J. Bowman for awhile now. I've never had it. Love y'all! Keep up the great videos and entertainment.
I was hoping Trenton would get on MM this year.... awesome.. and great pics Mrs SLB!!!
Another awesome video! Awesome family team!! I am attempting to make a revolver cocktail tonight!
Great job as always boys! Trenton...I think you mean chlorophyll (substance) versus photosynthesis (chemical reaction). Either way...never heard of that tasting note before! Cheers!
John J is freaking amazing. I can barely get it, and I live in Virginia. Jim Beam actually has another single barrel at 108 proof that's solid for $40. Love the channel!
Trent can sure spot the Jim Beam notes!! Great video guys!!
Another great show.
Not surprising Trenton passed on earthy taste and Kurt liked it with Kurt love of peated scotch and Trenton’s love of avoiding all things scotch.
Love the top 2 choices and never had the bottom 2.
Love the blinds.
Really like your honest opinions! New to tasting bourbons and appreciate all the varieties you choose.
Been fun watching the sub growth! Congrats!
Awesome back ground music! Love your Show!
Love the blinds. Gotta agree the HM 10yr is not something I seek out. Never had the L7. I like the B7 a lot. (Well done IDing that one Trenton!) also love the JJB. I got lucky enough to buy a cask strength about a month ago, but haven’t opened it yet. Cheers!
Great video as always!!!
😂Y'all guys are almost as crazy as I am. I love the way you joke with each other.
And of course I love the information too. Even if I can't afford to buy what you're talking about (if there's any single barrel out there that's within my price range, I don't know of it), y'all are always interesting, entertaining, and informative. 🙂
Another great show guys! Good times!
Always love the blind tasting episodes. Keep up the great work!
I got a Baker's 7 recently that was 8 years and 2 months old. It is fantastic. I've also noticed from watching many of your videos that Trenton seems to like things with a sweeter profile, while Kurt seems to enjoy the oaky and spicier notes much more than Trenton. I think my palate aligns much more with Kurt's.
I've found that I like both. That's something I love about Laphroaig 10 (which is out of my usual price range - it'll be a long while before I can get another bottle) - it has that definite, emphatic peat chemical and smoke and earth, and then there's a very sweet and fruity whisky underneath (it has a very clear pineapple note).
JJ B that I had was a very good bottle. What was even better was I got to share with others. Find them if you can.
So glad to find you guys on here. I am getting so much out of watching you both describe the profiles as you come across them. Thanks for this.
You guys are great. You have a very good show. Thanks.
HOLD UP!!!! Trenton will chew on a dandalion, but won't eat frosting??? What is going on?????
New to your channel, and love it! I have a request video, if you have not already done one I missed. The video I would love to see is you pick out a small kit of spirits and all the basic mixers and other items needed to get someone started. Maybe a little more than the very basic. Something like three or four midrange spirits and enough mixer materials to make a variety of mixed drinks. We all love and admire your well stocked bar! I'm a fellow Hoosier, retired, on a somewhat limited budget. On top of that my wife would limit my "dream bar" any how! You know how that works!
Thanks for what you do and thank you kindly for considering my request!
You guys are the best keep it up!
The only one on the video I have seen where I live is the Baker's @ $85Cdn. I recently picked up a couple Old Forester Single Barrell Cask Strength ( 4 actually since at $86 they were about $40 a bottle cheaper than the last time I saw them) and a couple Knob Creek Single Barrel 120 proof.
Love the banter with the reviews tonight. Great information and opinions with a lot of laughs thrown in.
Good show guy, love the blinds and the upsets in the results haha.
I’m reasonably new on the bourbon journey (we don’t get a whole lot of variety in the UK), but I REALLY like the McKenna 10yr Bottle in Bond, for me as a beginner it’s tasty and surprisingly easy to sip on
Cheers boys! 100k soon and well deserved!
Congratulations to y'all for hitting 100k subscribers!!!
I too, like Trent, used to sip on McKenna frequently and love it. I recently purchased another and opened and had the same reaction you guys had. I assumed my palate had just changed and I didn’t quite enjoy it as much as I used to.
Also, you absolutely can’t beat the Bowman products for the price/ accessibility
Baker's 7 has been one of my favorites for a while now. Great bottle, good price and beats out many of the higher sought after stuff for me.
Funny. I say the exact opposite. It’s not for my particular taste.
"I'm getting a note of atom splitting, maybe even cold fusion." 😂
That Baker's 7 is on my radar. I keep hearing good things and I'm hoping I'll be able to find it.
Bakers 7 is one of my recent finds and it was an immediate favorite. Hoping to find a 13 year soon to compare!
This was a very good one guys! I have the John J Bowman downstairs but haven't opened it yet - tonight might have to be the night 👍🤘
IF yall came out and nailed the blind from start to finish it would look inauthentic despite your best intentions. I have come to expect some amount of surprise with any blind by any taster.. pro or amateur. Great job.. please do more blinds, it helps us all learn.. you folks as well as the fans.. One o' the best bourbon channels on the Tube!
Interesting comments about the Henry McKeena. It was my premium go-to for years, when it was always on the shelves for under $30. Didn't have any for the past 3 yrs because it became allocated and 2X the $$. I received a bottle for Christmas 2022, it's not a good as I remember long past bottles. I suspect that due to demand for aged Sngl barrel bourbon Heaven Hill is now choosing lesser quality barrels barrels for Heny McKenna, and using the good stuff for their premium allocated bottlings.
One of my new favorite things to do is enjoy a pour and watch you guys talk bourbon
You guys crack me up when you start laughing. Love the banter. Also love learning from you both.
Just picked up a baker 7 year myself!
Nice site ,learning a lot
Love your channel! Congratulations on the milestone - 100k. I have noticed inconsistencies in Henry McKenna 10. I loved my bottle, bought another as a gift and was dismayed the gift bottle didn't have the same magic. Whisky is hard to produce consistently, it's not Oreos. The demand explosion certainly caused challenges for HM.
I've heard the same thing about the inconsistencies... so much for THE ENTIRE PURPOSE OF BiB!! 😅
Hey Trent. I may be wrong, but I was under the impression that Bowman was distilled in Kentucky at Scazerac then hauled to Fredricksburg VA to be distilled again in a copper still, and bottled there. Thus making it officially a VA bourbon.
Agree with you. Bottled at Bowman in VA. Stopped by the other day to grab a John J Bowman before it’s allocated after this video.. 🤣🤣
Yep! God, I hope it doesn't get allocated. 🤞🤞
It is saz juice mainly just bottled in VA but they run it again through a pot still even tho buffalo trace already column stilled it lol mainly for show get it while you can 😂
KURT!!! TRENTON!!! Awesome video!!! If you've ever sipped Suze neat, that is the closest thing I've ever tasted to photosynthesis. I think bcus I drink lots of Sweet Vermouth in cocktails, grape is always the first thing my brain looks for, that's so interesting!!! CHEERS guys!!!
Love the blind tastes 😂 Definitely some of my favorite videos you’ve done.
Trenton, I totally got what you were saying with photosynthesis taste - green!
Really cool video! I like the blind taste testing! Thank you for opening my eyes to new bourbons with each video!
Love all of these, 🥃 & ❤
Congratulations on reaching 100k. Well done.
diddo i subbed at 99.4k
Can't wait to get my hands on one of those John J's!!! Great video! Even though I thought Kurt was gonna go all "spreading the icing like the jam" 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
Just picked up a bottle of John j bowman single barrel at my local store it was limit one I had heard of it but never tried it watched this video while I was at work and looking forward to giving it a try being eagle rare is my normal pour .
You guys are the KINGS of whiskeytube! Cheers buddys 🥃
Congratulations on 100K subscribers!!🥂
I always thought the John J Bowman was distilled at Buffalo trace then shipped to Virginia , distilled again then aged? Can someone correct me on this? Trenton said the opposite. Anyone know for sure?
Excellent video. I also love John J. Bowman, but it’s not easy to find here. 👍😊💯
Always love the blind tastings. Trenton really seams to have a knack for picking out notes that identify a bourbon on occasion. I would love to get my hands on a bottle of the John J. Bowman. I have heard a lot of good things about it on this channel.
I tried the very affordable port finished this week, and it was surprisingly good.
If you are ever in Virginia it's easy to get there at the ABC stores.
I love your videos!!! You both do such a great job reviewing all the bourbons. I am going through Valparaiso. Where do you recommend shopping for some bourbons?
Not surprising with McKenna. I've mentioned before, but that one has been real hit and miss for me. I've had a couple that were pretty average, but I've also had a couple that were really good. I also quite enjoy Baker's 7yr. That's a good bottle.
This is exactly what I was going to comment. I've had some very good McKenna, and some rather unremarkable McKenna.
Trenton's tasting notes are spectacular!! Spot on my boy!! 👌🏻
Great job Mom! Heard Bowman is not using Buffalo Trace juice anymore…have y’all heard that as well? Do love their single barrel!
I absolutely love the McKenna 10-year SB! The viscosity could be a little higher. That would come from a higher proof. Yet as is, it is a "Buy Again" hands down!
Received a bottle of Baker's for Christmas. Pleasantly surprised on how great a pour it was.
Haha. I thought Curt said “Mater Frosting” also. And I thought he was gonna say it was tomato frosting…yuck. Great show. My go-to Bourban RUclips channel.
Great job, guys. And Trenton, even if you're wrong 100% of the time, it's not all bad since you're still standing around sipping bourbon :)
Love the John J Bowman!
Fun stuff. I’ve also found Lucky 7 six year stuff to be average but their 12-14 year bottles fantastic. Good to get what you pay for
Fun episode guys
Love the blinds!
Great stuff guys!! I really need to work on getting a bottle of John J Bowman. Pretty sure it's right up my alley.
Also, I'm with Kurt - when my Mom made a cake when I was a kid, if there was leftover home made icing, she would put it in between graham crackers and that made a great snack. Now, when I make a cake, if there is extra icing, I go lookin for the grahams....🤤
Yes! I love the grahams!
Great video, I’m looking for a John J. Bowman
Great! You guys are not helping me with my favorite pour John J Bowman SIB; add this video to help making it harder to get because everyone is after it. Lol!
Seriously, great video. Thanks for doing this; just reaffirms what I been saying about JJB
Come on Kurt we JUST talked about how good McKenna was and then you film this video LOL but great episode! Make sure "photosynthesis" is added to the SLB palate wheel moving forward :)
Gotta pick me a up a bottle of that John j bowman. You guys should try iron fish maple syrup barrel aged bourbon made here in Michigan. Really tasty stuff.
Great blind. I haven't tried ny of these be will be looking for them now. But "photosynthesis"?😄
Have you thought about creating specific playlists for like Whiskey Wars or Blind Tastings. I personally really love these types of videos and would love to be able to access them easier
Love you trying so hard to say you like the wood without saying you like the wood ;)
Mater Frosting hahahaha you guys are hilarious. Have a great weekend fellas!
Love it!!
Thanks for the laugh with the “mader” frosting lol
Wow, guys. Sneaking up on 100K. Keep up the good work. Bourbon is proof that there is a God and He wants us to be happy.
Are you are believer in GOD?
@williamgullett5911 - yes.
@@Abby_Normal_1969 That's great!
Oh, my God! You guys had too much fun with this one.
I picked up 2 John J Bowman driving through Virginia. I only wish I had bought more.
Glad I did a fast forward on this video to the reveal. I can’t get any of the bottles you had in the blind.
