Kurt and Trenton: Sorry it's so confusing, we won't do this again.
The audience: Do it again...
Agreed, push yourselves, 12 next time. 😆
… but don’t give Trenton shrooms before the next one!
We need a blind of 10 cask strength bourbons!!!! Things would get wild during that blind
Love this! Talk about zapping your palate 😅
Round 1) Neither would know anything about the products and rank them
Round 2)
Match the 10 ranked sips…. From 12 on the supplied list….
2a) compares their individual listings of correctly identified sips…. Enjoy these surprises❣️
Agreed
10 cask strengths…😮
After the video's end what happens to all the left over Whiskey? There is 20 glasses on the worktop lol
You guys should consider this same exact blind say 4-6 weeks from now and see how everything plays out then - I’d love to see how different/same they would end up.
my sentiments exactly. how subjective are the results? or if you run this again with just 5 or 6 will they hold the same relative positions in the ranking?
And maybe with a couple fresh bottles. Great idea.
Yep, same lineup, fresh bottles. Would be a hit video especially if they reference this one in it first.
Amen! Do it again, you know for science!
Almost agree, it should be a double blind of same thing so they aren't tempted to try to guess or alter lineup
This can’t be your last 10 bottle blind! Loved this format ❤
Kurt's face when 101 was pulled out for last place 😂😂
That's just some good television right there 👌
Only eight minutes into this video.... This is a blast..... I'm thinking 90%of the drinkers out there drink at this price level , but still have that special bottle or two in the bar.... So far I've seen at least 4 bourbons I've tried but you are adding to my list... Great Show..
All I can say is WOW!!! I give both of you a lot of credit for even trying this blind, much less finishing. Nice job. I can't wait for the next super blind. Cheers!
Absolutely LOVED this video! Thanks for getting my Friday kicked off with a bang!😂
As a guy who recently fell in love with Maker's Mark Cask Strength, their Wood Finishing Series,
and their Private Selections (store picks), this video put a smile on my face.
FAE-02 was one of my favorites
@@joel-amold Thanks! I've got one, that I still haven't opened yet. Love BEP, and a couple Private Selections best.
It may be opposite day, but this just goes to show that palates can be different based on the day and the time of day and a host of other variables.
I agree 👍
I think it goes to show that you can't sit there and taste 10 bourbons and expect your palate to not be skewed. Maybe 4 or 5 but 10 is just way too many to call it.
Oh my god! Bartender just gimmie a bottle!
Wow, both you put my two favorite budget bourbons (cocktail bourbons) dead last.
Kurt’s face when Trenton said he was a professional! lol 😂
This was one of my favorite videos! You guys are a great pair!
Big fan of 1783. It’s the cheapest of those available in PA, but that’s just a bonus. I like it better than EW b-i-b too
I agree. I think it's a better sipper. BiB is better for cocktails, IMO, but 1783 is a solid cheap daily sip.
Kurt's going to have to change teams - the blind has spoken...! Welcome to Team Makers Mark !
Wow, blinding 10. Not the best idea y'all have had, but one of the most entertaining videos ever.
Hung in there the whole time with you guys. Thanks for the laughs.
love the longer form video!! you guys are such a good duo it's always entertaining
Also, I love the long video format. Also, what happened to the picture Trenton? Lol 42:32
I washed the whole thing and do agreed that Trenton and was partially responsible for the downfall of Bed Bath and Beyond going bankrupt😂😂
I've been fortunate to avoid retail jobs most of my life, but I can definitely understand getting flustered and having trouble focusing on exact change when you have a bunch of impatient customers eager to get to the next store.
GOLF….not G-String😂💀
Definitely feel like the numbers got switched around a bit
Watched the whole thing and I gotta say the ending was kinda funny when Kurt had to ask what Trenton’s top 3 was even though they were directly in front of him in order 😂
he was so distraught he couldn't think straight
Poor WT101. 😢 What’s up with that?
Loved the long video and a surprise ending is always entertaining.
Great Video Guys . I look forward to the Top 5 blind..
I know this was tough to pull off for you guys, but this video was one of the most entertaining you guys have done😊
Great blind guys. Y'all are awesome
Great fun guys! Results always vary. Tomorrow is a new day. Just enjoyed hanging this morning!😂
Awesome episode! Thank you for doing what you do!
Nothing like starting my morning watching a bourbon blind. I stayed to the end. I don't mind the length at all. 10 bottles in a blind is insane, just cracks me up you tried it. Mayhem ensued.. I'll have to try Very Old Barton 100 proof and the Benchmark Single Barrel. Here in Kansas City, OGD114 is $26, OGD bib is $21. At our local grocery store, all three Redwood Empire core releases are $29.99. Keep up the good work....of course, I'd watch your channel if you were commenting while watching paint dry.
You guys are almost always my breakfast at work watch every Monday,Wednesday and Friday
I've bought nearly all of these at one time or another, but I'm not a collector so I seldom have more than two or three at any given time. I'd love to do this blind because I honestly have *no idea* what my ranking would be. It would be nice to find, say, my top three with different taste profiles and then keep those on hand.
I loved this video. Loved the longer video and seeing Trenton become an extrovert haha.
Yes to blinding the top 5. Tough video for yinz, great video for us fans. Great stuff guys!
Thanks guys for the fun episode!
long format videos are the way to go!! Really enjoyed!!
This was great fun to watch!
Tonight's show ended up as Hurt & Trenton 😂
Not a bad bottle on the table. Thanks, gentlemen!
I haven't had WT101 in nearly a long time and the bottles I had were from 8-9 years ago. Back in the day, before my bottles, it used to have an age statement (7 yrs?). Maybe they're resting on laurels and releasing younger stuff to push out more product.
OGD BiB did so-so in a big BiB blind I did. But OGD 114 was next level. It's worth the price bump.
I'm glad MM did so well with Kurt. Consistent, delicious products from a distillery with an unmuddled, genuine history. And Beam Suntory seems to have left them to remain awesome.
Barton and Early Times are consistently tops in our house! Enjoyed this! You guys are hysterical! ❤
Great video. Maker's always does well in these type of comparisons.
I would like to see a blind of the top 5. Great video guys thank you.
Great content guys!! 101 is my most reached for bottle, and I will say in the last year it seems like the 101 has gone inconsistent. Ive had a bottle that wasnt bad but I did notice I didnt reach for it much, and my most recent bottle I feel like is the best 101 bottle I've ever had.... and its going quick lol.
Great show! Liked the longer video! Can’t wait for the crown royal distillery review 😂😂
Hilarious and fun video guys. Thanks for the entertainment and really showing how things can change in your pallet from day to day
Loved this video and like you guys an blown away at the bottom 3 picks.
That WT101 bottle has got to be defective. Gotta be.
Last one or two I've had weren't great
Honestly I have had what I thought was a off bottle of WT101. Took me a while to finish it off. Didn't buy another for a while then bought a new one and it was good.
Say it ain’t so🥲🤣
I think it’s slipping - the OF100 too. Never been a fan of the OGD…
I have a handle of it currently and it’s terrible. I am a wild turkey 101 fan but this one I have now is awful
Loved the long video! Hilarious that y’all kicked Turkey 101 first thing!
Great blind, very enjoyable! Keep up the great work.
As a general thought: While I love longer videos, situations like this mean you guys might have a hard time both due to overconsumption, palate fatigue, or time constraints meaning you can't fully stop and appreciate each one.
Rather than putting yourselves through that, consider doing a mini-tournament that spans the week? Easy content, still longer videos. Treat it kinda similar to Bourbon Madness but on a smaller, weeklong scale.
Okay, this is hilarious and surreal. I took a 10-day dry stretch and broke my fast with 1783. Two or three sips in I said, "I feel like this could fool me into thinking it's VOB in a blind." And what does Trent immediately compare it to? lol
All the way to the end! Really have enjoyed watching you guys.
You guys did the work for this one 👏👏👏👏
Kurt looks ready to cry @35:00 😂😂😂😂
Good stuff! Just got a title of Old Tub BIB and it’s great at the price.
That was a wild ride! Great video. I really enjoyed this one. Cheers🥃
Love this, guys!! Something I’ve done and found the results to just be garbage. For me - trying to evaluate 10 turns into a total 💩 shoot for me 🤷🏼♂️
Cheers 🥃
Watched the whole shooting’ match…well done gents 👏🥃
I hope you all do the top 3 groups! Great video.
1783 was my entry to bourbon bottle. i need to go back and try my old buddy. great vid!
Stayed until the end!! Loved it
In blind taste tests sweet is almost always initially preferred by most palettes (ie the old Pepsi vs. Coke challenge). When you want to savor and have an entire pour the sweetness gets overwhelming and more people will prefer a less sweet drink.
I keep going back to your blind review of glass "E". Brutal!!!
Watched the whole episode. It was great
Well my beloved Wild Turkey came in last place, I’m still going to keep drinking it, I’m also really feeling Jim Beam 7.
Really enjoyed this. Got 2 new bottles to try from this. Maybe 3.
Can't wait for the top 5! No WT 101. Last place finish doesn't deserve a second chance.🤯
I made it all the way through the video. Well done gentlemen.
Great video. I really enjoyed it. 😊
very interesting....thank you...
I’m not a fan of videos over 30 min HOWEVER I loved this video. You all are so entertaining!!!! Love my makers, had my first one in 1984 or 85. Consistent excellent taste and available everywhere at a good price
Great video. The looks were classic. I love ET BIB and OF 100. Surprised there wasn't a EC Small Batch in the mix, but I understand you can't include everything.
Love this video! What a shocker, too
I never do blinds of more than 4, just for the reason you citied.
Sometimes, three is four too many ❤️🔥🤪
Have you ever did a top 5 or 10 Port finished or Sherry finished Bourbons?
It's real damascus, factory made stuff. We have one of the chef knives from a wedding wish list. Thank you Laura. It's a great knife
Def wanna see a top 5! I poured 7 of these 10 from my own stock and had the Mrs. Mix em up. Typically, my tastes tend to side with Trenton. This time I was more Team Kurt. And I TOO ranked 101 last and I love that bottle. Thanks for another cool show. Cheers boys!!
Love this video!!! Blinds sure screw with your mind and taste buds!!! 😂😂😂😂
This was very interesting and informative. It seems to me to demonstrate in spades that it all depends upon the order in which whiskies are tasted. Every single taste affects and alters the palate. It doesn't mean anything more. WT 101 is still terrific. It just tastes different when you imbibe other whiskies first.
Nice job! Watched until the end! I’m not much into the lower end bottles but I do like the 1783 occasionally. All the other bottles I gave away:) Cheers!
Trenton read my comment!
Left this comment a few times now, but I’m sold it’s a good idea for a new game show Friday blind!
Both of you have $100 to wager. There are 6 blind bottles you taste and then bid on. Both must end with 3 bottles and minimum bid for a bottle is $15. That way you can go a bit crazy on a bottle but you can’t spend it all. Then who vote who has built the better lineup.
I really enjoyed this! It wasn’t too long mainly because you guys are entertaining. Definitely do the Top 5 blind too! Then the bottom 5. Take the top two from each of those and do a “final four” shootout!
Ogd 114 still 25 in Delaware... wish I liked it more... great mixer at least... but im not traveling to buy a mixer, ill just buy wt101.
I did a blind by myself the other night and Old Grand-Dad 114 came in dead last. It’s one of my all time favorites and is to me like WT101 is for you. It doesn’t really mean a whole lot. When you have 10 great bourbons in a blind, I bet you could have different results every day of the week.
I love blending my favorites & come out with awesomeness 👍🏻
Trenton's sneaky stare at the camera after the @9:24 "dipped a teabag in the juice here" (while Kurt is trying not to laugh)... HAHAHA.
I think a lot of these were open with substantial headspace and had some issues. Where other had less headspace in the bottle or were more freahly opened bottles. I definitely get the dishwashing gloves on my old ass bottle of Turkey 101! Haha
Sure wish I could get benchmark easily in Bama. It seems like solid budget.
Yeah top floor is a fantastic pour for such a low proof and price. And the entire line has merit for the price.
I hear ya. Rough state for bourbon fans. Mostly just standard release juice and very little in the way of allocated. I've never seen Early Times BIB here in Bama. Luckily, I'm close enough to TN and better offerings.
Made it to the end, was a tremendous movement!
Should have done a 5 and 5 in 2 shows. 10 in a blind are to many.
Poor Mom, way too much work for a blind of this size.
Keep up the great work everyone. Love this channel.
“G string” (27:30) made me spit coffee.
Watched the whole thing!!
SLB Classics
0:01 holy cow this is a lot of blind!
1:07 what a great compromise
1:22 story time with Trenton making a flame thrower trying to destroy his neighborhood
2:00 don’t have time…. It’s a long episode, you had time
2:12 Trenton gets serious by removing his glasses…. Noted
2:42 great guesstimate Trenton
3:10 Trenton has our back
5:33 sticking with letters hopefully they can go up to J
6:07 Trenton notes: rubber glove, dirty dish water
6:47 Kurt successfully mind noodles Trenton
7:06 no more focus needed
7:21 oops, Trenton accidentally compliments WT
7:38 Toots does a nasty
7:50 Trenton makes up for the compliment with a fertilizer note
8:41 oh no! Don’t listen to him Kurt
9:18 Kurt has to really think about nosing notes (implied shnoz story)
10:02 story time with Trenton, working at bed bath & beyond
10:58 don’t send Trenton to jail for this
11:37 Trenton is going to jail starting next week for bankrupting BB&B, it was nice knowing you
12:41 Story time with Trenton and Gene
13:21 trenton wants everything out of his budget bourbons
13:38 Kurt understands what a budget bourbon is all about
14:20 Hmm did Trenton like that he call the JB Ricola?
15:18 Trenton claims to not be a social butterfly, just give him some whiskey
16:30 Trenton goes with butterscotch in swamp water
17:40 Trenton doesn’t know a candy? Maybe an old name. Kurt doesn’t let good candy go to waste
19:14 😮😮 ouch on E, pour one out for WT
20:17 no one knew that one Kurt, eat some crow
22:39 got some controversy coming up
24:01 Trenton has gone coo-coo, fortunately not a surprise
24:48 Trenton guessing is way off today
25:40 Kyle is a pro, he’s got this
26:38 Trenton gets philosophical on blind size
27:09 Kurt still thinks that Trenton is going crazy
27:29 G is Gulf not G-string 😂
28:52 definitely in the morning but not background
29:26 time to get serious again
30:52 no shared #1
31:19 Trenton is one to talk about sanity
31:35 wrong again, but the prediction of pushing WT out first worked
33:00 more big blinds coming soon
33:39 sad death to WT
34:43 it may in fact be Opposite Day
36:08 the difference a blind makes is real
37:02 10 bottles is hard to place
39:22 well Trenton had a type today, nice and simple
40:46 Kurt takes his honest opinion and let’s Trenton know he is crazy
41:30 not gonna live this one down soon
42:44 someone write it down, Kurt thinks he isn’t going to do a big blind
43:20 comments getting this long do get annoying and slow
44:07 Trenton did some research?
44:51 oops Trent and I😢 but still a nice nod
Awesome job. Especially it being a 48 min video.
@@cjholcomb9687thank you very much!
This was a fun session with 10 in the blind. 😅 101 Turkey in last? I'm devastated 💔
The mind is always about the advertising- the advertising‼️
@paleggett1897 For me, it's the taste
Watched to the end. Great video. It was a lot to follow but it was interesting. This goes to show that depending on the day, what one person picks can vary wildly from what they might another day! Love Early Times BIB, glad to see it won in Trenton's lineup.
Great video, surprised your guys were still standing at the end. I have the bottom 6 of Kurt's list, cannot get Early Times in my area. Not that crazy about Very Old Barton, good for the price. Love the Beam 7, Buffalo Trace and Old Grandad bonded
I like this type of deeper dive into a subcategory of the market
Stayed till the end. Would like to see the top 5 for sure.
