    This should really be a more frequent aspect of the channel. Totally blind flights make for the best, most interesting content to watch. That's why advent is always so much fun.

      @talljohn5350 Год назад +3

      Probably doesn’t get the views though….maybe I’m wrong but it always seems like top 5 style videos are the ones that the algorithm pushes.

    Props to Dan and Sean for taking this one on the chin for the viewers. Double blind flights are HARD and they are good sports about it. Hope everyone enjoyed the idea.

      I'm about to do a blind with Mid-Winter Nights Dram A9S4 ($400 online) vs. Sagamore Spirit sherry finish ($75). I really hope Sagamore wins :). You can find it easily.

    1792 being confused for a $250 bottle of Willet wheated!!! All the more reason for me to continue to enjoy 1792 as my daily sipper

    Love the fact that not once did the word "cherry" come out of either of their mouths in reference to the Calumet. All they could talk about in their initial review of 15 and 16 was the cherry.

  • @GirlDad_cards
    @GirlDad_cards Год назад +15

    This is great. That's tough for Calumet 16 going from "possible bottle of the year" to 4th in this blind (Sean)...

    I rarely comment on YT videos but this video made me laugh uncontrollably so hard for so long. I had no idea how much I needed this. I am a Calumet 16 fan and Sean’s reaction to the fact that he rated it last was just too much. Thank you so much for your authenticity and best of luck on the new business venture. You guys have become my new favorite.

  • @Indyjeeplover
    @Indyjeeplover Год назад +7

    This reminds me of another of your videos where plain Buffalo Trace was ranked above other more expensive offerings.
    This shows that we pay more for names, labels and bottle appeal than for what’s inside. We love a particular product because we are supposed to love that product due to name or price

  • @mdonahue21

    • @morebeer7673

      VOB is probably the best value in bourbon, now that ET BiB was destroyed by Sazerac.😁

  • @brucebelitz3451
    @brucebelitz3451 Год назад +2

    It blows my mind you didn't get V.O.B. and 1792 as Barton. V.O.B. was the first bourbon I drank in 1973, I will never forget the taste! First time I tried 1792 I knew it was a Barton product!

    • @BourbonJunkies
      @BourbonJunkies  Год назад

      The 1792 stuff seems to be in a weird place right now. Lots of off profile bottles rolling out

    I had to watch this twice to make sure Sean made B last. That's B... in last place. This was a FAN-tastic video. Love this format. Six out of five stars. You have to do this again to see if you're consistently terrible at tasting whiskey or if this was a one-off. LOL So good. Thanks and happy Friday.

    That was great. Need to grab a bottle of Bulleit barrel strength (no store picks of any sort in Ontario, Canada). And clearly I need to buy a 1792 small batch.

  • @russellleonard5321
    @russellleonard5321 Год назад +1

    I have been collecting and tasting bourbon for over 45 years. I currently have about 225 in my collection. I have done many blind tastings and have never placed the highest priced bourbons first. WT Kentucky spirit once beat out all the BT mash bill #2’s. Rip Van Winkle came in dead last one day. When you strip away all the hype and marketing BS it is amazing how your palate or perceived palate changes.

  • @PartyRockProfessional
    @PartyRockProfessional Год назад +7

    My main take away is that 1792 is the absolute KING of bourbon.

I mean you guys never claimed to be Matt, the Whiskey Super Taster! Ouch! BTW, something weird about Very Old Barton...really didn't like the 100....liked the 90 as a top Bottom Shelf bourbon. Go figure.

    More money generally does = more better. The question is when does it become diminishing return? Like 60ish gets you a damn good bottle of bourbon and the $60 bottle is generally worth the $30-40 more than the 20-30 bottle. But is the $100 bottle the same amount better? IMO no. But that’s all subjective.
