I have a feeling after all the years of support your mom has been providing, she may have a very good feel for the bourbon. Learning through osmosis!!! 😂❤
All solid 10 year options and glad that these are the four in this so that nothing wildly rare and obscenely expensive could skew the comparison and relatability to what you were tasting. I still want to pick up a bottle of Widow Jane, but it is the most pricey of these 4 and I haven't yet had the chance to try it. I've wanted to do my own 10yr blind, but would have to include Tin Cup 10 in place of WJ. I wish there were more 10 yr options in the market that were readily available.
Whether we realize it or not, we all talk with our hands, unless like TV newsreaders we've trained ourselves out of it. And Kurt and Trenton are so natural. 🙂
Great show, guys! I had the Eagle Rare 10 at an airport bar as we were leaving Louisville, last year. I remember thinking I should have picked up a bottle (along with all the rest I bought.) Fortunately, it came on sale here just before Christmas for $32, so I stocked up. I've had a couple Widow Janes, including the Decadence, but not the 10. Here in WA state, it's $100, including tax.
Never done these 4 in a blind, but I normally find the ER 10 finishes too quickly. I haven't pulled the trigger on the WJ 10, due to the price. Cheers. Always love you guys show
I did a 10 yr blind and rated them from 1st to last respectively: Eagle Rare, McKenna 10, Russel Reserve 10, Widow Jane 10. ER gets a lot of hate but it will surprise people in a blind. The hate probably comes from it being allocated with inflated prices but I get them 28/bottle in Cali quite often
The biggest complaint I hear about eagle rare is a lack of finish. I love the stuff and the lack of finish is fine with me. Just makes me want more sips!
@@thelegionoftools it really depends on what state you're in. Ohio stores can't legally charge above MSRP.. On the secondary market Eagle Rare goes for anywhere between $60-$100 a bottle... Weller antique 107 goes for $130- $160 a bottle secondary..
Such a fun blind! I did this a while back and I believe Eagle Rare came in first as well. I’ll probably have to do it again and see which comes out on top this time! Great video gentlemen!
Paid $70 for the Widow Jane. First pour I was so disappointed. The finish was bitter with an unpleasant after taste. After sitting on shelf for a few weeks, I gave it another try. Totally different bourbon someone had put into my bottle. Each and every subsequent pour was better than the last. I called BS on the neck pour aphorism (yes Trent, this was for you) but I can sincerely say with candor that it's the absolute truth!
Thanks for the content guys. Yall should get a bottle of Still Austin's Musician on the show. It's a young bourbon but I'd love to see y'all's thoughts on it. I've heard a lot of good about it. Commenting from Marshall TX.
Great video guys! I keep an Eagle Rare and Russels 10yr on hand (ER when I can find it which is rarely). I have about 2 inches left in my only ER bottle and I'm afraid to drink it for fear that it's the last I'll ever have due it's lack of availability here. Plan on getting Widow Jane, haven't bought one yet since it's a bit pricey, but next splurge purchase will probably be that one.
I got a Widow Jane bc of yall. BUT, I have the 10th Anniversary bottle and it's 100 proof and it's amazing. I bought it because it hit the triple digit proof mark. I cant do the sub 100 proofers too much. Thanks guys
Great show as always guys. It just made me realize that bourbon prices over here in Europe just don't make sense. I just bought Bulleit 10 for €29.99, Eagle Rare 10 for €31.99, Rare Breed for €39.99, Templeton 10 single barrel for €64.99 and Templeton Barrel Strength for €51.99, and I hear both of those Templetons are also a lot more expensive in the US. Plus we just got Remus Repeal VI (I doubt we received more than a pallet's worth considering how fast they sell out everywhere, even though bourbon is not very big here) that I was able to get for €85. I was also very surprised to hear Bulleit 10 is already $50 in the US, yikes.
Ohio prices for these bottles are Eagle Rare-$40, Russels-$43, Bulleit-$47, and Widow Jane-$75. Templeton 10yr is $90, and the remus repeal vi is $110. In the US prices vary on the state. I pick up some bottles from Kentucky considering I live only 45 minutes to an hour from the Kentucky Ohio border.
Well you have to know where to look, and similar to the US where it depends on the state, it very much also depends on the country here in Europe. In general most spirits shops either don't stock American spirits or when they do, it's the very basic stuff that's always available from the importer. We hardly ever get any single casks unless it's bottled specifically for an importer - how I'd love to try an Old Forester cask strength or one of those Four Roses barrel proofs without having to pay an arm and a leg for one at auction! However because American spirits are not very big yet over here (I'm in Belgium myself) and IF the release does make it over here, I can get pretty much all of them at reasonable prices. But again: the selection and general availability is very spotty, so don't think you can find Blanton's or Michter's Toasted on every shelf!!
I had the Eagle 10 a couple of years ago, but don't recall my thought on it. Russell 10 is on the shelf waiting and just checked the state liquor app and Widow Jane is available :) guess I am going shopping tomorrow. It's only February and I have already spent more then all of last year :o
I just picked up the Widow Jane. It is amazing. I didn’t realize Red Breast 21 year was over $300. Kinda bummed about that because it was something I was hoping to pick up.
Insightful, thank you. I was in middle school when the 288 GTO came out, that was Peak Ferrari for me, only recently have their cars gotten that beautiful again. It sounds like the drive would live up to the looks for me.
This was a good and fun one. Was wishing Rebel 10 made the mix, but oh well. Was happy to see #4 was Bulleit and not ER 10 yr. Love the Russell's 10 yr, a great value. With the hand gestures, have you guys thought about being referees? LOL
The only bottle I've had in this blind is ER 10 yr. First had a pour of it visiting friends in Denver a year ago and loved it. Russell's 10 yr has been on my list for a long time, but just picked up a Russell's Single Barrell and I'm very happy with that find. Another great video! Would love to see an age-state blind series similar to this video!
Great episode guys. I only have the ER and RR in my collection so I can't speak to the WJ and Bulleit, but I prefer ER. The RR10 has a bit of harsh note on my palate, and I'm a big Wild Turkey fan. (As an aside, I recently did a side-by-side between RR10 and RR13 and the 13 was far and away the better pour in my opinion.) I've had a chance to get the WJ but the price (80 bones or so here in Rhode Island) has kept me away. Keep up the great work.
I completely agree with you’re RR10 opinion. I’m a huge Turkey fan and I picked up a bottle of RR10 a month ago and every time I go to it, I get a harsh note that is off putting.
@@Clembots I don't know if it's the char and tobacco notes that Kurt mentioned, but off-putting is a good way of describing my reaction to it. Wish I could get a bottle of the RR13 because I loved the sample I had. But I can't find it for under 300 up here.
Man these videos make my mouth water and make me wanna have a sip at work! Lol. Obviously I would never so don't have a sense of guilt. Although I do work commercial construction so I'd blend right in! Thanks for the videos fellas. I've used many of these as a guide to puck my next bottle. I've been scoring some really good bottles lately! I love store picks and I got a Russels SB SR, Davidson Wheated SB, Knob SB, and a Jack Daniel's single barrel. All store picks and FANTASTIC
My Fiancée gave me Russell 10yr, Russell Single, and GlenDronach 15yr for Valentine's Day. We had the single barrel and loved it. Popped open the 10yr last night and thought it was okay. I'm going to share some ER 10yr tonight and see what she thinks in comparison to the Russell 10yr. Thanks for the idea! Cheers!
Great video, I look forward to my next notification. I just watched this on my work lunch break and can't wait till the weekend to continue my bourbon journey, cheers lads and lady 👍
I will never suspect you guyz of any malfeasance! And you are hilarious! I am finding that I like what i have been drinking of late more than bottles that I haven't opened in awhile.... so recency affects my judgement.
Great video boys! Russells 10 year is a great bottle….but that Widow Jane 10 year is rapidly becoming a favorite of mine. Love the Whiskey Wars series…keep them coming! Cheers!
I’ve been looking for Decadence for a couple years. I was told just today by a very large store that it’s allocated. They got one bottle last fall. I’ve tried in dozens of other stores. Most have never heard of it
This was a fun episode to watch. I have had all of these and I'd like to think that's how I'd rate them blind as that's how I'd rate them as seen. But they are all great pours.
Have tasted all 4 of them...and all are amazing juice. Finally got a bottle of Eagle Rare...and it is a favorite. I Great job...your channel is my favorite as your tastes are close to mine. I agree with Trenton on the rankings...but Eagle Rare and Widow Jane are so awesome...just call them a tie. Cheers!
I recently did a 10 year video and Widow Jane and Tin Cup basically tied for #1 and Eagle Rare I think finished last. I am going to have to let it open up and go back to it. Excellent video guys.
Great video! I’ve got Russell’s and Eagle Rare in the cabinet right now. I have found that the Eagle’s red fruit notes have become more of a brown sugar / butterscotch (to me) note as it’s been open.
Great video as always. I literally laughed out loud as Trent was talking about Kurt's hand motions. I thought "He's doing disco moves". Lol. I truly love some widow Jane. If you get the chance, try widow Jane the vaults. It's fantastic! Also, along the lines of 10 year age stated, might I recommend trails end 10 year. I haven't seen it in Indiana but stumbled across it on a trip to Texas. I rolled the dice on it and am glad I did. 10 year mgp, around 105 proof, follows the Oregon trail (or so the label says) and then is finished with local wood in Washington State, for only around $50. I can't say I'd hunt it but if I saw it again I'd buy another bottle.
"I've been reading Webster's." Egad, y'all ought to do a standup routine! 😂 One of the reasons it's so much fun watching y'all's videos is that y'all have so much fun making them.
Great video! Love this type of show.. I love to watch experienced drinkers do blinds. Honestly tho.. are you at all biased or influenced by what 10 yrs you have on your shelf for your wife to chose from? I have wanted to try widow Jane.. waiting for the right time. Making my way up the ladder of Bourbons so to speak
When I saw the title of the episode, the first 10y I thought of what Eagle Rare. It’s a nice one and is often lost in the shadow of other BT products. Glad to see it did well. Also now it appears I’ll have to grab a Widow Jane 10 that I’ve been eyeing :)
Currently watching from the Buffalo Trace gift shop line hoping for some eagle rare or blantons. Been here for 30 and got another 30 to go and I couldn’t have seen this was posted at a better time.
Great blind! I have three of the four on my shelf. Have never tried Widow Jane but will. I still have two bottles of Eagle Rare I got over Christmas as a gift. Still not finding any of it locally.
What bourbons fall in line flavor wise with the old forester 1910 and elijah craig small batch. So far they have been more to my liking than some of the others.
I can’t for the life of me understand why Widow Jane is so popular, it’s 10-year sourced juice cut with some Brooklyn faucet water and now I see it going for $80 in my market. It’s good, just not $80 good. Sorry, give me the Russells and Bulleit……Hell, throw in some tin cup 10 while you are at it. AND I just picked up an eagle rare for $44…..WJ mania I have to chalk up to everybody riding the bourbon hype. Unless the price drops significantly, that will be the last bottle I buy of WJ. Great Review.
Agreed 💯 I had a pour at a local watering hole and was very unimpressed. Hard to justify spending north of 80 for that when I can get Eagle Rare for roughly 50 here. Did not understand the Widow Jane hype at all.
Eagle rare does not get enough love! Buffalo trace options are so polarizing these days where everyone thinks it is trendy to bash them or they overhype them. I think eagle rare does not get the credit it deserves. For the price, Eagle is my favorite bourbon hands down!
Eagle Rare is my favorite 10 year. In fact, it was my favorite bourbon when I first dove in to bourbon. Haven’t seen it in 4 years though. I need to track down a Widow Jane.
Great show again! Very interesting picks. But reinforces my long time belief in the Eagle…Widow is awesome but you are paying 70 vs 32 for the Eagle (in Texas) Thanks again guys for the best bourbon show on the tube!
I was hoping that would be in the mix. The proof would make it stand out though. It’s tough to find here so I’ve been drinking mine slowly. Widow Jane 10 yr is one of my go to’s as it’s easy to find - although it’s up to $75 now. 😬
Would love to see you guys incorporate Red Line Elements into a video. It’s absolutely bursting with flavor, haven’t tasted anything quite like it. One of my favorites right now
I just bought a $140 bottle of Bardstown Discovery just to compare. Me wife and I did a blind taste test with Buffalo trace, 1792 , and Angels Envy. We found that there is little return in taste vs price above $40.
Got the ER on a vault pic. Never tried it before, but waitin until I score another bottle. Luv the Russell 10 yr. Fun video & informative as always guys. Kudo's to the Kurt's better half!!!😁
I have had the Eagle Rare 10, and I thought it was superb. It is allocated in AL, so I’m not able to run down the street and buy it as-wanted. The Widow Jane is on my “need-to-try”.
Good video, thank you. Unless im missing something, it doesn't seem to matter if you put a letter up since you edit the video after the fact. Seems you would have to write on a whiteboard during the show. Appreciate you guys.
Loving these Whiskey Wars. I think Kurt should still get the points for getting them right. We’ve been thinking about picking up the Widow Jane…will have to pick it up next time we see it.
How would you rate those bourbons on the taste vs cost of the bourbon I heard Russell reserve for about 35dollars I can find it for 27 dollars a bottle
I think after hearing about all of the bourbon at Trentons house, we need to have a few episodes from his bar and / or a bar tour!
I have a feeling after all the years of support your mom has been providing, she may have a very good feel for the bourbon. Learning through osmosis!!! 😂❤
You two have become my Number 1 bourbon review and entertainment channel, great job guys!!

I think pound for pound based on dollar and availability, Russell’s 10 holds its own against other 10’s. Great show fellas!
Absolutely love all of Kurt’s hand motions when he describes a taste. Just an awesome guy

ER10 is my fav daily! Grab one this weekend for $39.99. The last year or so has been really good, feels better then prior years.
I only recently tried Eagle Rare. It's a great sipping Bourbon although the price is about $10-$15 over retail here in the PNW.
Enjoyed this video. I was actually able to pick up 2 bottles of Eagle Rare and 2 bottles of Weller Antique 107 at MSRP last week..
Congrats! What a pick up

I loved this one! I am a fan of the Russels and Eagle Rare!

Currency exchange aside, I am amazed you can find some of these bottles. Enjoy some of these great buys! Color me jealous!!!

Excellent video guys.
Great video! I’ve got Russell’s and Eagle Rare in the cabinet right now. I have found that the Eagle’s red fruit notes have become more of a brown sugar / butterscotch (to me) note as it’s been open.
Love the content as always. Maybe consider adjusting the gain a little lower during audio mixing.
You guys should write the price of the bottle on the cap when you buy it, maybe with a silver paint sharpie? Help keep track of it.
I am new to Burbon but what is is that if the bottle is opened it get more flavor?
I always get a blueberry note on Eagle Rare. It’s such a fantastic value. A 10 year Buffalo Trace product for around $35, it’s a steal!
I’d like to see you guys do wheated, and 4 grain bourbons in this format.

I have only had Eagle Rare store picks and they are really good. I always get a grape flavor. As for value, Russells 10 is the best value in my book.
I get apple from store pick, cherry from typical on the shelf bottle
Love the choices. I fully agree that Bulliett is last in choosing. Love all the other choices! Thanks for these videos!

What bourbons fall in line flavor wise with the old forester 1910 and elijah craig small batch. So far they have been more to my liking than some of the others.
I can’t for the life of me understand why Widow Jane is so popular, it’s 10-year sourced juice cut with some Brooklyn faucet water and now I see it going for $80 in my market. It’s good, just not $80 good. Sorry, give me the Russells and Bulleit……Hell, throw in some tin cup 10 while you are at it. AND I just picked up an eagle rare for $44…..WJ mania I have to chalk up to everybody riding the bourbon hype. Unless the price drops significantly, that will be the last bottle I buy of WJ. Great Review.
Agreed 💯 I had a pour at a local watering hole and was very unimpressed. Hard to justify spending north of 80 for that when I can get Eagle Rare for roughly 50 here. Did not understand the Widow Jane hype at all.
These are the best videos. Completely unbiased opinions when you have no idea what you're sipping.
I don’t often give my (unwarranted) opinion, but I love the “whisky wars” series!
Eagle rare does not get enough love! Buffalo trace options are so polarizing these days where everyone thinks it is trendy to bash them or they overhype them. I think eagle rare does not get the credit it deserves. For the price, Eagle is my favorite bourbon hands down!
Eagle Rare is my favorite 10 year. In fact, it was my favorite bourbon when I first dove in to bourbon. Haven’t seen it in 4 years though. I need to track down a Widow Jane.
Haven’t ha the bulliet but the other 3 are some of my favorites!
I’ve had a light candy cherry on eagle rare before…..I really enjoy when it’s opened up a while and gets more carmelly
Great show again! Very interesting picks. But reinforces my long time belief in the Eagle…Widow is awesome but you are paying 70 vs 32 for the Eagle (in Texas) Thanks again guys for the best bourbon show on the tube!
Excellent 10yrs! My wife just picked up tin cup 10yr ($50ish), and it’s really nice and easy to drink for a low proof. Thanks guys
I was hoping that would be in the mix. The proof would make it stand out though. It’s tough to find here so I’ve been drinking mine slowly. Widow Jane 10 yr is one of my go to’s as it’s easy to find - although it’s up to $75 now. 😬
Would love to see you guys incorporate Red Line Elements into a video. It’s absolutely bursting with flavor, haven’t tasted anything quite like it. One of my favorites right now
Love this series guys! So glad it’s back.
I would love to hear your thoughts on Reservoir Wheat Whiskey.
Another Great Video!!!!!! Thanks guys
I just bought a $140 bottle of Bardstown Discovery just to compare. Me wife and I did a blind taste test with Buffalo trace, 1792 , and Angels Envy. We found that there is little return in taste vs price above $40.
Whiskey wars maybe my fave SLB series
Love the video new subscriber I love the piano music in background would u share the composure playing thnx learning a lot about bourbons thnx again
You guys got this right by me: Eagle Rare is great! Not for secondary prices but at MSRP its awesome
Got the ER on a vault pic. Never tried it before, but waitin until I score another bottle. Luv the Russell 10 yr. Fun video & informative as always guys. Kudo's to the Kurt's better half!!!😁
I have the top 3 of the 4.. now I'll have to do my own blind and see how it compares!
Eagle Rare is my favorite! Russels 10 for the price is awesome
Outstanding as always! You two are the best. I had to have a dram of Russell's 10 yr after this one. Keep up the great work.
I have had the Eagle Rare 10, and I thought it was superb. It is allocated in AL, so I’m not able to run down the street and buy it as-wanted. The Widow Jane is on my “need-to-try”.
Good video, thank you. Unless im missing something, it doesn't seem to matter if you put a letter up since you edit the video after the fact. Seems you would have to write on a whiteboard during the show. Appreciate you guys.
Great video! I look at it this way. I cannot get Eagle Rare anywhere. And I'd rather have 2 RR than one WJ. Just my opinion.
Cheers!
Very nice episode. Was watching your episode and drinking an eagle rare. I love the Widow Jane as well as the eagle rare!
Looking forward to finding a bottle of Widow Jane. I enjoy the other 3 and they taste great for their price points.
Love that Widow Jane. Also I'm liking that Stellum pick from Harry's.
I just passed on a bottle of WJ 10. May have to go back and get it
Loving these Whiskey Wars. I think Kurt should still get the points for getting them right.
We’ve been thinking about picking up the Widow Jane…will have to pick it up next time we see it.
Eagle Rare is delicious. Hard to find and inflated in these parts but always like to have it on the shelf.
2 points Kurt! You were on point for this tasting.
No spoilers, but Kurt's top bottle often surprises me in 10yr blinds as well. Cannot argue with top 2. Prob my fav 10yr is Rebel 10.
How would you rate those bourbons on the taste vs cost of the bourbon I heard Russell reserve for about 35dollars I can find it for 27 dollars a bottle
$27 is what I pay also
Love your work from a fan from down under
