Matt, I haven't told anyone about my experiment, but about 9 months ago I mixed 60% Jack Daniels SBBP Whiskey with 40% Jack Daniels Bonded Triple Mash for about a 115-120 proof explosion in your mouth. Probably my favorite sipping whiskey so far. I keep two bottles on hand all the time. After I mix, I let rest in the bottle for a couple weeks, then drink. The minute you pop the cork the aroma permeating from the bottle is pure fruity bliss. Like a fine homemade fruit cake thats just taken out of its tin on Christmas Eve. Try it and let me know your thoughts.
I've been blending 50/50 in an old fashioned for ~ 1 year and it is excellent. Pouring it in a bottle and letting it sit for a few weeks...You may have something here.
This sounds awesome! I love the triple mash. I think it's super underrated. I might just have to pick up a bottle when I go home for Christmas (it's super cheap by my parents' place) and give this a shot. Thanks for the comment!
About 2 weeks ago, I tried a 50/50 blend of JD SB and JD Rye SB and was pretty happy with it. So, when I got to the part of the video where Matt was going to make a bourye, I was rooting for a JD blend. Thanks Matt!! Brilliant minds think alike.
Got a 50/50 blend of the two JDs in a blind advent once and thought it was an incredibly special bottle. Arguably better than the individual components. Big time blend for sure!
Wasn't a fan of Knob Creek 9 or the Knob Creek rye 7, but I find the Knob Creek bourbonxrye quite enjoyable. Because everyone in RUclips seems to pan this expression I can find it everywhere for $38, thanks!
Agreed, I found this BouRye to be delicious. But I am also getting more into Ryes lately, and this one did it for me. I also REALLY enjoy the standard Knob Creek 9.
I was relieved to hear your notes on the Knob BouRye. I got rubber hose on the nose and palate! I will say it opened up well and the rubber went away. I can’t wait to blend the jack and then try out some of my own! ❤❤
I blended Kirkland Small Batch 2 parts with 1 part 1792 full proof. The Kirkland small batch from 1792 is underwhelming but adding 1792 full proof makes it a very nice pour! Cheers, love your videos!
This is breaking Matt's single distillery rules but it is my all-time favorite easy to make blend. 1-part JD SiB BP Rye, 1-part OF 1910, 1-part Woodford Res DblOak. End result is a toasty BouRye at 105.6proof - marshmallow gramcrackery goodness with some holiday spice. It is the best shelfer blend. Different distilleries but they all have some common flavors going on that blend nicely and come to my favorite proof point.
Great video as usual! Blended this 5 days ago and just tried it. Really good! Not all the same distilleries, but this is a blend I've been gifting for a while and I keep getting requests for it: 4 parts - JD SBBP Bourbon 2 parts - Weller Special Reserve 1 part - Old Grandad 114 All in a 1ltr barrel for 5 days then dump and blend with... 2 parts - Woodford Double Oaked 1 part - Old Forester 1920 and BOOM....112ish proof of magical nectar of the gods.
The internet needed a good holiday blending challenge, and who better to start it off than matt. I suspect a pair of good new riff single barrels is the answer to this question.
When I saw that KC bourye, I remembered I had recently purchased the 10 year rye. I already had KC12, so I started blending. I have an Angel's Envy port finished bourbon (store pick) mixed with the standard rye. Bonesnapper rye (port finish) and Backbone bourbon (cognac finish). Old Grand-Dad 114 and Old Overholt 114. And a JDSSBP (store pick) and JDSBBP Rye (2023) so far. Had fun with it and tried my best to encourage others to try it for themselves
Old Grandad 114 and Knob Creek 12 (or the 18 if feeling like a mad scientist) at 50/50. Using KC12, the blend is possibly half the price of the OGD 16 year and probably twice as good.
I added some of the new Jim Beam Winter Reserve to the bookers 2024-01 and it's REAL good It softens out the harshness of the bookers, dials back the peanuts a bit, but maintains the sweet components of both. I did 2:1 Bookers to WR Wasn't as successful with the other booker batches from this year tho, but I'm going to re-visit because obviously I did 01 first and loved what I got...so I was biased for the rest of them. Glad I tried it tho... totally salvaged the 01 for me because it was just going to sit and be a mooch pour. I wouldn't say it's worth a special trip to mix these...but if you have them give it a go.
Blended some Knob Creek 12 with Booker's Springfield batch today. Phenomenal. Helped bump up the age profile of Booker's and reign in the edges while giving the Knob 12 a little more oomph.
I had about three ounces of 2019 George T Stagg (the 116 proof bottle) that I had been nursing too long and was afraid it was going to get oxidized, so I poured in 3/4 of a bottle of Benchmark Top Floor. The depth of the Stagg overwhelms the "young" nature of the Benchmark, and the flavors blend so well, making it crazy good.
JD Barrel Proof Rye has been one of my favorite blending components, but somehow I've never blended it with the SBBP TN Whiskey (at least not in 50/50)! This is a fruity blend! No joke, it tastes like "fruit cocktail" that you would make and put into a giant bowl for a picnic or potluck: loads banana, apple, grape, and strawberry. One of my go-to same-distillery blends is 60/40 (your choice of the dominant one) EC18 and ECBP. The ECBP makes up for the lack of proof in EC18, and the EC18 adds some extra age and oak to the ECBP batch (especially if it's a younger, brighter batch).
I didn’t love the shelfer KC Bourye and gave my bottle away, but did blend an 8yr KC Rye pick with KC12 in the same ratio and it’s very good. Need to try the JD Bourye.
Just blended my Total Wine BP Rye and an off the shelf BP…mother goose was it good. It brought out a ton of fruit flavors and underscored it with the brown sugar of the OG BP. Nice Matt!
Love you Matt! I wonder if you blended rare breed with that Russell’s LL/ME from your Thanksgiving video. The Russell’s nose with the Rare Breed spanking!
Yup - JD SIB Mix is heavenly - I did a 50/50 with a “Stock Room” JD SIB BP Bourbon (130.6) and Rye (137.5) and WOW - A Fruit and Spice Bomb Galore! 😊 So Freakin Good!
Duder, nothing better than having your brain storming. I now want to throw out the unopened bottle of BourbonxRye that I have. Thanks for saving me time drinking the bottle.
I love a 50/50 blend of ECBP and Larceny BP the C923 of each makes an amazing four grain blend. I’ve done it with the B524’s of each and it is great too.
Matt, I blended WhistlePig PiggyBack 100 proof 6 year Bourbon with WhistlePig PiggyBack 96.56 Proof 6 year Rye. 1:1 and I’m no expert but it certainly was a good combination. Give it a shot, would be interested in your thoughts.
This is not what you asked, but, David Jennings did 50% Russell’s Reserve 10 year and 50% Knob Creek 12 year. Freakin’ fantastic! And makes the Knob Creek go a bit further. Cheers Matt! 🙌🏻🥃❤️
I'd love to try the following with a higher proof but it is what it is... 60% 13th Colony Southern Rye Whiskey and 40% 13th Colony Southern Bourbon. I was pretty surprised how good it was even at the low proof. Cheers.
The JD SBBP x JD SBBP Rye blend is one of my favorite pours currently. The specific JD SBBP I have right now is just sweet and boring and the Rye is too tannic, making it hard to enjoy. Not a fan of either in their own, but doing a blend of 20% JD SBBP with 80% JD SBBP Rye is magic in my opinion. The sweetness of the JD SBBP cuts the tannic nature of the Rye an really opens it up.
One of my favorite Rye is the regular Redwood Empire Emerald Giant Rye 90º. I bought a bottle of the cask strength Emerald Giant to try, since I am a fan of the regular. I was disappointed and didn't care a lot for it. I decided to mix the Regular with the cask strength at 50 / 50. It made it drinkable. I will finish it off mixing the two. I am a big fan of the JD cask strength single barrel rye.
The best one i ever did was 60/40 of JD LE 2020 BP rye 136.7 proof and JD LE 2021 Coy Hill 139.9 proof. It was as good as it sounds but both of these are bangers so how could it not be amazing.
I have a store pick 8 year Elijah Craig that's overly hot, I tried cutting it with some standard Elijah Craig rye by 25% and find it significantly more pleasant to sip.
The metaphor of the electrician and plumber working together with the same music and volume on a project is priceless! 😂 I’m over waving… hello, I’m the flooring guy. Can you two quit listening to Barney and turn on some country please? We men need to get $h!t done. 😆 ‘Merica!

Blending has become my favorite part of the hobby. Keep this content rolling! I dont think enough channels do this and its actually really gratifying!
I have a blend of 2 JD barrel selects with a JD barrel proof. Very much like 12 year.
Got a 50/50 blend of the two JDs in a blind advent once and thought it was an incredibly special bottle. Arguably better than the individual components. Big time blend for sure!
Ok, I just did 50/50 pikesville rye and heaven hill bottled in bond and it slaps!

@blakeparthenay3049 I like the 120 proof 9 but I get a slight acetone note on the 100 proofer
@@141moose The 120/Single Barrel 9 year I got this year drinks VERY hot for 120, harsh really. Good flavors, but god forbid its my first sip.
Yeah we’ve already cleared two bottles of the Bourbon X Rye. It’s a winner over here
I was relieved to hear your notes on the Knob BouRye. I got rubber hose on the nose and palate! I will say it opened up well and the rubber went away. I can’t wait to blend the jack and then try out some of my own! ❤❤
I actually like the will it blend video concept

Old forester 1910 cools off a hot single barrel blue label
Thanks, I'm gonna have to try that. Just got a blue label and that baby is hot!
I love the 130 + blue SBOF.. I wouldn’t blend it , but to each their own!
I’m going to try this too, my OF single barrel is all heat, very hard to get any flavor out of it.
I have a hot OF SBBS, gonna try this with my 1915 blend. lol
Love this idea. What was your ratio?
75% Larceny BP with 25% Weller SR. The Weller fruity notes take over and it reminds me of Antique 107.
Ooo.. I'm gonna try this!!

We did this year's ago with the 2020 special release single barrel rye and Coy hill. It was amazing and I still have 3oz left
This blend is magic
Honestly for the price, I think the KC Bourye is awesome. Got it for like $35 at Costco
Matt, your use of the Knob Creek bottle to punctuate your points is spot on!
Have a Happy Thanksgiving.
Wow bought Jack Daniels Barrel proof Rye specifically for this and wow its really really good. This man is doing the lords work. Thanks Matt.
ER 10 yr 50% and EHT Small Batch 50%. Just tried this and was very good!
Old Grandad 114 and Knob Creek 12 (or the 18 if feeling like a mad scientist) at 50/50. Using KC12, the blend is possibly half the price of the OGD 16 year and probably twice as good.

Old Grand-Dad 16 and Old Grand-Dad 114. (70%-16yr)(30%-114) is fantastic!! Wish I could claim the idea as my own, but glad I listened
Along the same lines, Bulleit 10 year bourbon and Bulleit 12 year rye ... both MGP. Now I'm curious myself. I'll let you know.
Bulleit 12 is amazing
I have both, 100% trying this

fantastic blend!
Id love to see more of these!
I didn’t love the shelfer KC Bourye and gave my bottle away, but did blend an 8yr KC Rye pick with KC12 in the same ratio and it’s very good. Need to try the JD Bourye.
Definitely going to be trying this out! Thanks.
Just tried a 50/50 blend of Peerless double oak bourbon and Peerless SiB rye and I liked it a lot sweet and savory
Cheers to you matt🥃🥃🇺🇸
My Bourbon group has been blending lately to try and come to a conclusion on what we wanna double barrel in a 5 gallon mew oak char 4
Just blended my Total Wine BP Rye and an off the shelf BP…mother goose was it good. It brought out a ton of fruit flavors and underscored it with the brown sugar of the OG BP. Nice Matt!
I've been blending JD barrel selects and barrel proofs and have often come up with magic

Larceny C923 and ECBP A124. 50/50 blend
I have two JDSBBP open - one being your pick! - so I'm excited to see how they're different!
I am quite the fan of the Knob Creek bourye. I thought they did a good job on it and the proof is great.

Bardstown Discovery 11 and 12. Leaves all the best parts of each
Deep woods durex sent me!!😂😂
Benchmark Full Proof + Eagle Rare @ 50/50
Try it with regular Buffalo trace!
Matt, P where do get those Glenn glasses? The base looks thicker and easier to sj.
Viski, and they're fantastic glasses.
Simple simple..Wild Turkey 101 and Rye 101!! Step it up and use Rare Breeds BOOM
I made a “bourbon punch” the other day with several bottles I didn’t like and I was amazed by how good it was.
Old Ezra 7 mashup sounds good. Wish I hadn’t have killed my bourbon before I thought of it
I accidentally blended a Michter's Rye with WT Rare Breed and it was good!

EC18 and Larceny BP (I used B523). Adds the oak and sweetness to the larceny. My fave!

I’m gonna try a 70/30 blend of Willet green top with pure Kentucky vintage bourbon.
MATT! Hear me out. Coy Hill and Twice Barreled Rye blend. BOOM. You gotta do it!

Looking forward to New Riff standard BiB offering blended with its Malted Rye.
Since you "love" toasted whiskeys you should try EC toasted rye with EC toasted bourbon! You might like it!

For the price I didn't mind the bottle of KC Bour Rye I got for like 35ish-40 bucks. I admit I did open it up with some water though.
I would have thought the JD blend would have been like tree ripened bananas from where bananas come from.
I went with a JD SB BP Select 129 proof whiskey and a Twice Barreled Heritage Barrel Rye 100 proof. Pretty delicious.
Sipping Knob Creek 9 year single barrel now. It's a winner
Still Austin BIB and Still Austin The Artist Straight Rye are awesome!
I was gonna say mix Still Austin Cask Strength Rye & Bourbon..
Wild Turkey 101 and 101 rye works well too! OF 100 and OFR 100 as well!
I've been mixing sagamore sherry finish with a little of the RR me and it's a yummy cherry coke situation.
Not gonna lie, before I knew where this video was going I thought of the JDSBBP bourbon and rye. Since they are amazing.
You can pretty much mix any rye with Jack Daniels single barrel barrel proof rye and it'll taste delicious
so i just tried russells 10yr for the first time and it literally taste like watered down rare breed
I need to revisit the KC Bourye. I thought it was ok
You tricky bastard!!
I have a store pick 8 year Elijah Craig that's overly hot, I tried cutting it with some standard Elijah Craig rye by 25% and find it significantly more pleasant to sip.

1/3 OGD 114 blended w 2/3 JIM BEAM 7 YR makes a tasty budget blend
1oz of ECBP and 1/2oz of Pikesville.
How long did you let it sit before tasting?
Mix Barrel king Knighted batch 63 and batch 89 50/50. The mix is much better than each of them alone
The rare breed bourbon/ryes are also wonderful

It is undefeated still.
What bourbon have you had over the years that you think may beat it?
Kentucky Spirit (2023 CNA) and Rare Breed Rye 50/50 was pretty good. And interesting
50/50 Eagle Rare and Stagg Jr. is amazing...
Matt, try Russell’s 15 with Jack Daniel’s 12 batch 2 at a 50:50 ratio
Geezus.. That seems like a crime against both of those bottles!! 🫣
i think the knob creek bourbon x rye is pretty good...and i paid $35 for it...
I'm going to do it..!!
Try Stagg Jr mixed 50/50 with Blanton's Gold. It's great, baby WLW vibes.
