Hey all! I had to stitch in a video of Kurt letting everybody know that due to several instances of COVID in the family, and both of us being sick, we’ve made the tough decision to cancel the livestream this afternoon. For some reason that clip got blacked out in rendering. So no livestream tonight, we are looking at next Friday instead. Sorry all! Hope you have a great weekend. - T
Man the van and box truck story made me laugh and cry my dad always had a Chevy Astro van for his work as a painter/commercial paper hanger and remember sitting on a 5 gallon paint or paste bucket as a seat 😂 miss him he pasted ways 10 years ago but he got me into bourbon our favorite was wild turkey or Ezra brooks lol
I’m in New Jersey and have recently visited Louisville but I have not been able to find a bottle of Eagle Rare for two years now. Enjoyed the show very much.
The Mrs. always does a great job with the perfect pour amount and the glasses are perfectly lined up. That's just class fellas. Curt, your habits are rubbing off with rolling your Glen to coat the glass. It works great and doesn't beat the juice to death. LOL
About two and a half years ago I had a pour of Old Rip Van Winkle 10 year at a local bar for $25. Really good! Kroger in Kentucky is doing a Pappy raffle on 12/16. Wish me luck!
The best part of the Channels videos is the dynamic relationship that you both have. I very much enjoy the interactions between you both. Great Job too you both & Mom! Idea: I would like to suggest a Brandy tasting as it brings some festivity with the holiday season.
Boy did the van story bring back memories. My dad was a house painter and he always bought junk station wagons. Most memorable was the BOGO free you had to start with a screwdriver in the column. Great times. Thank you for sharing
Great video and IMO my favorite is always the personal stories. In this Ep. the rickety old Dodge Caravan. Definitely most can relate as can I rolling around in the backseat and floorboards of a dusty and dingy Oldsmobile beater on icy roads in Detroit MI in 70s and 80s.
Really diggin' that "ketchup" note 🤣 Had a pour of Old Rip at my local bourbon bar a couple months ago and it was great. Snagged a couple bottles last year and looking forward to sharing one with some college buds at an upcoming reunion. Also looking forward to cracking open the JD10 that I was fortunate to get at a nice price.
Bout 8 years ago when I started my journey I picked up a Bulleit 10 year to pair with a Cohiba Lancero my friend got for me when he traveled to Montreal. That pairing was the greatest thing I had experienced to date. Lol, oh how times have changed since discovering whisky reviews on TH-cam.
We do tastings and blind rankings all the time and we have found that 5 is too many. They really start to affect each other and make it difficult. 2 or 3 at a time is what works best for us. Great video though!
I concur. I've found 4 is my absolute max, but if I'm torn and have to go back and forth tasting, then 4 can be too much, it all starts to blur together

I want to thank you guys again for another great video full of information. And it’s great to see how well you guys work together. I hope that you all get better soon.
@slbdrinks, as a kid I was embarrassed when my dad dropped me off at school in his '64 Impala. He also had a late 80s Ford Econoline with rusted through holes in the floorboard. I feel ya pain! 😂
I can relate to the van story. My dad used to pick me up after soccer practice in his crappy plumbing van. If there was ever a third person in the van, they’d have to sit on a bucket in the middle. 😂😂
Like to watch the laid back funny interaction. I have 2 sons who I get along with the same way, except they don't drink bourbon with me. I think I would enjoy hangin with you two. Kurt, I was a carpenter in mid Michigan for 34 years, retired 1-1/2 years ago. I hung and finished acres of drywall in my day. I think we could tell some great stories over some good bourbon. Really enjoy the content and do use your opinions for bourbon purchases.
KURT!!! This was great!!! It's always nice to hit the young-en's with some cool slang!!! I still need to pop open my Eagle Rare!!! Nice blind!! CHEERS!!!!
Great content, only thing for me is that when I see how long the videos are which are usually close to 30 min. I tend to choose not to watch, there's some stuff that can be cut out.
It’s like a crackerjack, not ant crackerjack but one that fell in the dirt, not any dirt but dirt from a farm, not any farm but a potato farm, not any potato farm but russet potatoes, and then it’s picked up, not by anyone but a cute girl, not any cute girl but one wearing latex gloves, not any latex gloves but ones that had been used to handle a lozenge, not any lozenge but a cherry cough drop and then she dropped it and it hit a 2x4, not a good 2x4 but a construction grade 2x4 and then stepped on, not by anyone, but a boy wearing rubber boots and there was a hint of smelly feet but he’s had a bath within a couple of days in non chlorinated water with a little tide. And I’ve never tried a crackerjack but it’s what I think it might taste like.
Phenomenal blind gentlemen! WJ10 bottles have been very solid for me these past two years. A more recent one I'm loving and would love to hear your thoughts on is King's Family Ryeconic if you can find it near you. Let me know if you can not, I will be more than happy to send one your way. Cheers!
Speaking of the ice cream, that would make a good idea for a bourbon pairing show. The pie show was one of my favorites, another idea for the future is BBQ pairing.
Nice competition! My Bulliet 10yr has notes you described in your widow Jane 10 and your notes on your Bulliet line up with my Widow Jane which has a mineral taste.
Kurt, heard you mention coils...knowing you are in Indiana, did you used to work for Charter Steel? You mentioned the shipping department and I used to manage a fair number of shipments for them out of IN, MI, and WI. Small world if that is the case!
Not surprised to see how thing shook out, though the rip went higher than I thought it would. Really disappointed not to see the best 90proof 10 year, RR10 :(
I loved a ten year blind. But I'd love to see a ten year blind against this years top competitors. Rip V, Michter's 10 yr bourbon, Old Fitz ten year BiB, and the Parkers Heritage Rye 10 year, and Michter's 10 year rye. That would be amazing.
Thanks two of the finalist I have never tried I can get a pour at a cigar lounge spot close by so looks like I am going to have to get a sip of that old rip
Not everyone is going to get the same notes. I've never gotten tobacco or leather from anything, while other people frequently do. On the other hand I frequently get a note of butter, and a roasting ear note, and others get those very rarely if at all. Everyone's palate is different. However, practice does help. After two years I can get more than I could after one, and a *ton* more than I could when I started. 🙂
@robertmckay9863 I've been into bourbon for a couple years. I get some cherry or sweetness or spices on the nose. Can get the toasted or oak on the pallet, but marshmallow or butterscotch not too much. But I do enjoy it
@robertmckay9863 I've got a bottle of eagle rare I get some cherry on the nose. I'm usually all over the map with proofs. Not sure if that's why the tasting note problem but I drink what I like
Hmm, no Russell's 10? No Michter's 10? McKenna 10? Those would have been interesting in this line up too. There was a big blank space at the beginning of the video for me so maybe that's where they said why they went with what they did. Oh, my bad, they said at the end.
Hey all! I had to stitch in a video of Kurt letting everybody know that due to several instances of COVID in the family, and both of us being sick, we’ve made the tough decision to cancel the livestream this afternoon. For some reason that clip got blacked out in rendering.

Hate to hear that. Hopefully, everyone swiftly recovers.
Wish you a healthy Friday! Get better!
Prayers for speedy recovery to all. Need to see that shiny dome. 💈😆
Rest up and get healthy! I'll be praying for a swift healing.
Hope y'all get well soon!🤧😷🤒
Kurt saying the "eagle rare slaps" is one of the best things I've ever heard
Anyone else get a black screen gap around 30 seconds for about a minute? Who keeps letting Trent edit?! First the music, now this? 😂
Yep
lol same here
Sure did
its like over a minute
I assumed it was a bit because they agreed on a video idea...haha
“That slaps” 😂
Kirk saying “that slaps” was an early Christmas present😂
Another drywall here with a 2 seater jump seat in back of the van for kids drop off. Kids still talk about. Good Ole days. Best channel!

Im so happy to hear those old stories, im in the busted work van phase myself lol.
The Mrs. always does a great job with the perfect pour amount and the glasses are perfectly lined up. That's just class fellas. Curt, your habits are rubbing off with rolling your Glen to coat the glass. It works great and doesn't beat the juice to death. LOL
I feel like there are so many good 10 years out there, y’all should do a bracket of the best 10 year!!
Truly the best videos to come out each work come from SLB and bourbon junkies. You’re awesome folks!
About two and a half years ago I had a pour of Old Rip Van Winkle 10 year at a local bar for $25. Really good!
Kroger in Kentucky is doing a Pappy raffle on 12/16. Wish me luck!
Man, Jack Daniel's is killing it here lately. I love the single barrel barrel proof releases.
I have a 128.2 proof SBBP, and it's lovely.
I agree
They're in my current top 5 favorite distilleries list actually. As far as American-style whiskies go, their whiskey really fits my palate
The best part of the Channels videos is the dynamic relationship that you both have. I very much enjoy the interactions between you both. Great Job too you both & Mom!
Idea: I would like to suggest a Brandy tasting as it brings some festivity with the holiday season.
“That slaps”. Quote of the century!!!
Hoping you all are well soon. Take care,and thanks for all you do
Boy did the van story bring back memories. My dad was a house painter and he always bought junk station wagons. Most memorable was the BOGO free you had to start with a screwdriver in the column. Great times. Thank you for sharing
I almost spit my woodford out on the words "slaps" from dad. ROFL
You guys are funny and honest work
Great idea for a video. I’d love to see a”part 2” made up of another group of 10 year bourbons.
Great video and IMO my favorite is always the personal stories. In this Ep. the rickety old Dodge Caravan. Definitely most can relate as can I rolling around in the backseat and floorboards of a dusty and dingy Oldsmobile beater on icy roads in Detroit MI in 70s and 80s.
We went out to dinner last night and I opened the evening with Eagle Rare and really like it. Great job...always enjoy watching the two of you.
Soup beans with ham and a big slab of cornbread. You can't beat that!!
Wow, all great stuff, did not think anything could beat Rip
Another great show.....
Trenton and Kurton keeping it really real this week!
I would have liked to see the Russell's 10 yr
Widow Jane 10 year for happy hour, Russell’s 10 for dinner. Urban dictionary 😂 🍻
"That Slaps!" Sent me to the floor 😂
If only I could find a JD10, great stuff and nice edit Trent 😂
This was a great episode, I don't even drink much anymore, but I enjoy you guys. Thanks for the entertainment and being yourselves, cheers!
Really diggin' that "ketchup" note 🤣 Had a pour of Old Rip at my local bourbon bar a couple months ago and it was great. Snagged a couple bottles last year and looking forward to sharing one with some college buds at an upcoming reunion.

Some of my beat memory's are my parents my brother and I all in a 2 seat 1960 MG-A we rode a family of four alot

"That Slaps!" 🤣
Thanks🥃👍
Hope yall and momma SLB get better quickly
You know what beats pappy? Whatever i can find at my local store that works for me. Good video
03:57 Kurt: That slaps!!
awesome video! 10 year was a great idea trent I've got a script running that'll let me know when that JD drops in my area cant wait!
Just drank some JD10 last night. The JD10 & JD12 are my favorite pickups of this year.

Loved the video. Now I’m super excited to crack open my JD10
Always enjoyable to watch! I do wish you would discuss the black pepper in each whiskey.

I want to thank you guys again for another great video full of information. And it’s great to see how well you guys work together.
I hope that you all get better soon.
Glad to see you guys are feeling better. Great idea and great show! Thanks!
@slbdrinks, as a kid I was embarrassed when my dad dropped me off at school in his '64 Impala. He also had a late 80s Ford Econoline with rusted through holes in the floorboard. I feel ya pain! 😂
I see that yamazaki 18 in the back. Such a lovely bottle.
Wish the Rebel 10 made the cut, feel like it woulda performed well here. Good video
True

It’s funny how these blinds work. You guys were raving on the eagle rare couple videos ago.
no cap this this episode was bussin frfr
Throw in a Russell’s 10 year and a Tincup 10 year for fun! Love the show keep up the great work!!
I was thinking russells 10
KURT!!! This was great!!! It's always nice to hit the young-en's with some cool slang!!! I still need to pop open my Eagle Rare!!! Nice blind!! CHEERS!!!!
Love you guys. Always entertaining.
Great content, only thing for me is that when I see how long the videos are which are usually close to 30 min. I tend to choose not to watch, there's some stuff that can be cut out.
Great lineup!!
OMG is there a way to like this video twice??? That story about the dry wall truck. I’m dying 🤣

Wow great idea for a tasting lineup. Thanks!
ORVW is like the quintessential bourbon with everything turned up to 10. So good
"This episode is possible because of viewers like you-and the fine folks at Jack Daniels" 😂😂

Speaking of the ice cream, that would make a good idea for a bourbon pairing show. The pie show was one of my favorites, another idea for the future is BBQ pairing.
I love a little bourbon poured on my butter pecan ice cream. I also love it over maple nut. Usually use Elijah Craig SB.
@@3frogltd987one of my coworkers does exactly the same and loves it.
Nice competition! My Bulliet 10yr has notes you described in your widow Jane 10 and your notes on your Bulliet line up with my Widow Jane which has a mineral taste.

Trent will be picking up a Jack 10 batch 2 soon 😂he loved it over the old rip wow ima hunt down one now
Not surprised to see how thing shook out, though the rip went higher than I thought it would. Really disappointed not to see the best 90proof 10 year, RR10 :(
What's that note I get smoke. The smoke from SLB being right on breezles tail.
“That Slaps” 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
Great editing Trent!!
All the Jack special releases I've tried have been fantastic. Just really hard to find a bottle. JD12 is incredible.
I laughed so hard at “that slaps” 🤣🤣
I loved a ten year blind. But I'd love to see a ten year blind against this years top competitors. Rip V, Michter's 10 yr bourbon, Old Fitz ten year BiB, and the Parkers Heritage Rye 10 year, and Michter's 10 year rye. That would be amazing.
Rob Van Winkle (born October 31, 1967), known professionally as Vanilla Ice
‘That slaps’ 😂😂😂
I feel so alone right now. And we're back!
Dang... I've been trying to set this idea up with my friends too.
Killed me with "Slaps" LMAO
great video
Great episode…..”no cap”😂
Thanks two of the finalist I have never tried I can get a pour at a cigar lounge spot close by so looks like I am going to have to get a sip of that old rip
Jack 10 batch 2 is phenomenal
I might have to try that Widow Jane.
Will you two be attending the Big Red Liquors Expo in Indianapolis today?
I just wish i could get the tasting notes you guys get

Best intro!!! only the subscribed will see it
…and now you have a nice basement bar!
Great line up. See you tonight 🥃 next week I guess
This was such a fun video with all the family touches and connections. Mom pick a good 10 yo bourbon lol
Still trying to get an ORVW at or near MSRP. That and W107.
'that slaps' i literally died
Ham and beans with some buttered corn bread. Delicious.
Hmm, no Russell's 10? No Michter's 10? McKenna 10? Those would have been interesting in this line up too. There was a big blank space at the beginning of the video for me so maybe that's where they said why they went with what they did. Oh, my bad, they said at the end.
Would have been interesting to replace the Bulleit 10 with McKenna 10 in this blind
