Port is a fortified ("by the addition of a neutral grape spirit known as aguardente to stop the fermentation") wine "produced from grapes grown and processed in the demarcated Douro region" of Portugal. "It is typically a sweet red wine, often served with dessert, although it also comes in dry, semi-dry, and white varieties." White port is often served as an aperitif, whereas ruby or tawny port is more of an after-dinner drink. I like the fact that - when the EU decreed that only fortified wine from Portugal could be labelled "Port" - the Quady Winery in California changed the name of their similar product to "Starboard"...
Well done, Quady. That's witty and well-played. 👏
Wine 101 anytime. Kent basically hit it.
Has Trent not heard of Google?
Nerd
Just kidding, thanks for the lesson!
Kurt & Trenton, here's a blind tasting idea for next month: March 17 (Sunday) is St. Patrick's Day, so how about an All-Irish Whiskey blind on the Friday before. Some of the popular ones are Tullamore DEW, Redbreast, The Sexton (a recent favorite that's Spanish Sherry finished and around $35), Bushmills, Teeling, Jameson, West Cork, Kilbeggan, and Slane to name a few potential candidates.
Thanks for all the great videos that guide us toward the good stuff!👍
I second this great idea! I’d personally love to see a blind of any of the following to be honest: Busker Single Pot Still, Teeling Small Batch, Bushmills Black Bush, Jameson Black Barrel, Slane, Sexton, or even Powers Three Swallow. Key word: affordable. I find myself falling back into Irish due to the high bourbon and scotch prices. Trenton, you can extend your experience beyond Redbreast into even more Irish whiskies!
In 2013, a state law was enacted that requires Tennessee Whiskey to meet the following:
- Manufactured in TN
- Filtered through maple charcoal prior to aging (Lincoln County Process)
- Distilled from at least 51% corn
- Distilled to no more than 160 proof (80% ABV)
- Aged in new charred oak barrels
- Placed in barrel at no more than 125 proof (62.5% ABV)
- Bottled at no less than 80 proof (40% ABV)
So this is not a federal law but a Tennessee law? So I can produce a whiskey in any other State and call it Tennessee whiskey and the State of Tennessee can’t enforce its laws in another state right?
@@mohawkgorilla6216no, you can not manufacture a whiskey outside of Tennessee and call it Tennessee whiskey. That is false advertisement. Consumers as well as im sure the state of Tennessee can sue you. Consumers definitely can because you are selling a labeled product that is not the actual product you are saying it is
Tennessee whiskey must use the Lincoln County process unless granted a special exception (Prichard's Distillery)
I love the Chattanooga 111 proof, sweet with the most mild spice. Nice and viscous, On my 2nd bottle. The corn and 3 barley mashbill is definitely unique and delicious.
Hump day on Valentine’s Day
Yeeeaaahh...about that...
Giggity 😂
Or as one of my buddies elegantly refers to it - Stick Night
Trenton's hair cut is on point today!!!!
The honesty of Trenton is priceless. "Hump"......and things went sideways in his head. So dang funny.
Only thing I've had from Chattanooga is their Founder's 11 and I loved it. Definitely need to try more from them.
The Brits love port & import huge amounts from Portugal just like they do with sherry from Spain & also Madeira from the Portugese Island of Madeira out there in the Atlantic. I really enjoy all those fortified wines with port being my favourite & there are many styles such a ruby, tawny, vintage & white although I have only ever seen `white port` when I`ve been over there in your fair land. If a port ain`t red I ain`t buying!
Ive seen a few whiskeys finished in tawny port, a couple in ruby port. I was never a wine fan so i stayed away from them. I have a few madeira finished whiskeys that are really good. My brother has the blackened wes henderson thats a white port finish thats really good. If i was to try them on their own, not in a finished product, id probably go for madeira, regular port or white port. Not that i know what to really excpect, but just based on what ive had as a finished cask. I know its not even close to the same, but i really like calvados cask finished whiskeys, so id probably try that as well.
Add in Redwood Empire Lost Monarch in the 90 proof blind. Great stuff for $35-40!
I feel like Trenton is the true "Whiskey Savant." A lot of the time, he makes me face-palm so hard, but his tasting notes... so unique and ingenious! He certainly seems to have found his niche/talent.
I got a sample of the Prideful Goat 8 Year Rye and immediately went on Seelbachs to get a bottle. Of course, they were out of stock. I checked back today and they had it. I got two!! As a newly described "Rye Guy" I had to get this one! MGP 95/5 aged in Texas, it hit all of my buttons. Do yourseld a favor and get you one, or two!!
Been seeing these around for a bit and not given much notice. Thanks for trying new things and sharing your thoughts.
Ruby ports pass more sugar and fruit to a product. The white port passes fruit hints almost like stone fruit without adding sweetness. Port is fortified wine. It is wine which it's fermentation is ended by adding brandy or other grape spirits.
Specifically a brandy that is 77% ABV.
Received the Bib & Tucker Double Char 6year for a gift. I really liked it
My liquor store dose the same thing with the price stickers. I peel them off and use Goo Gone to get the sticky goop off.
The prideful goat is from the real bourbon talk. He made it with the intent to be a reasonably priced whiskey. Its supposed to be $65-75, but, in states that its not intended to be distributed to, but the distributor has access to it, they jack up the price. So the store isnt jacking up the price to make a killing off it, the distributor is. I seen it here in MA at total wine where it is not intended to be sold, and they sell it for $110. I actually had a brief convo with randy about this. I actually just seen it at another local store here in MA for $100, so obviously their distributor got access to it now too and also jacked the price. Mr brother got it when we first seen it at TW. Its good, but its not $100-110 good, but as stated, it wasnt meant to be sold at those prices.

Port usually has brandy added to keep it shelf stable for shipping long distance way back.
One note on that prideful goat 8yr price: the mgp rye barrels in that blend were aged 5 years in indiana and then an additional 3 years in texas. This explains to me why they marked it up 10 over what you expected since its proabably the case that those barrels had more evaporation than a normal mgp rye release.
And the cost of shipping the barrels
Love Sagamore 8 year and it is $73 so Sagamore all day long for me.
Excellent line up! I've heard some mixed reviews with the Bib and Tucker, but I'm a big fan of The Prideful Goat. I'm actually doing a barrel pick with him and the Bourbon Real Talk Community at Watershed in Columbus, OH in 1.5 weeks!
I love the 111 Cask Strength Tennessee High Malt from Chattanooga Whiskey
Try Redwood Empire Emerald Giant Rye whiskey. Just bought one for $35…available in Connecticut.
It’s VERY good!
You know what removes the adhesive from the price stickers, ALCOHOL!! Use a little isopropanol on a swab to wipe away the goo.
Bib and tucker is Deutsch family not Dickel. They were at our bourbon club last month. Had 6 yeat, double char and 10 year. I thought they were pretty good.
Chattanooga Whiskey was there last Friday and had the white port on release day, was very good. The 111, BiB and 99 proof rye as well. Were all hood. Thanks to both for showing up!
Sorry if my post is showing multiple times, connection is acting up 😊
Bin & Tucker was one of my first tem bourbons in 2019. need to get a refill...
good schtuff.
Bib and Tucker 6 has always been good to me. All their other profiles not so much. Chattanooga absolutely uses the best malt of anybody out there. That chocolate finish never disappoints. 111’s are always top notch
the double char is pretty nice but it's the only one I've tried.
The short, red port is regular grapes, white port is white grapes. Pretty much everything thats made from grapes, if it says white, its white grapes vs regular purple grapes
Not saying it’s the case with this product, because I don’t know, but TN Distilling Company is one producing a fair amount of whiskey for the sourced market. Especially for product 6 years and younger (and maybe older?), it’s no longer safe to assume that a sourced TN product is Dickel.
I like the George Dickel Bourbon. It’s 8 years old and $30 here in Ohio.
Be sure to pour your valentines something nice today. Love you guys.
U guys are the best. Bib N Tucker 6 year is 🔥for 40$
Might have to pick up that Prideful Goat Rye if I see it anywhere...you guys are usually spot on with your recommendations, just like the Hard Truth Four Grain I just picked up after Monday's review. I'm really enjoying that one, thank you!
I couldn't hear the fridge, as you said. I'd forget to plug it back in.
Port is a Portuguese fortified wine that is made by adding distilled grape spirit, usually brandy, to a wine base. The addition of the high-alcohol spirit stops fermentation and “fortifies” the wine.
Never knew port was short for Portugal either, Trenton
I'd go crazy if my local shop put price tags on my bottles.
White port is sometimes known as chip dr port, made from white grapes. There is a rosé port too. Both a great for summertime sipping!
Got a decent discount on the Bib & Tucker 10-year, so I decided to give it a try--not nearly so much minerality on it like I do from Dickel products, I did find it very two-dimensional: oak & vanilla on the palette, practically no finish. For a $90 MSRP bottle, I was disappointed.
I'm a fan of Chattanooga Whiskey, and wish it was distributed close to me--I hate buying online and dealing with shipping & delivery.
I hope to find the 8-yr Prideful Goat as I'm a fan of the 6-yr.
Bowman Brothers small batch, Bardstown Origin Series, Buffalo Trace,
Great video! Please put Traverler's Whiskey in the blind with Buffalo Trace! I actually liked it much more than all the reviews I've seen.
Bowman Brothers Small Batch for Friday.
I love this channel!! You guys are such an oasis in these trying times. Don't know if this info will help your tasting experience. Don't know if you already know but.. butterscotch, true butterscotch is just butter added to sugar once it's reached the caramel stage with a pinch of salt. Butterscotch disc candy is like the difference between real melted butter and movie popcorn oil.
Agree with Trenton--The only Dickel I like is the Rye and the Blue Label BIB...I'm a big Chattanooga fan!
Port wine is a wine made from Portugal. They'll take the grapes and make wine then distill it into a brandy and age it in barrels. Then they will let grapes over ripen on the vine so that they are sweet. They'll make a sweet wine with those grapes and add (fortify) the sweet wine with some brandy, which is known as Port.
Trent, like you, I'm a rye fan. I'd love to see you do a best high-aged rye list. Hope you'll consider it.
I have had the Bib&Tucker 6. I remember a peach jolly rancher note.
On May 13, 2013, Tennessee governor Bill Haslam signed House Bill 1084, requiring the Lincoln County process (which involves maple charcoal filtering) to be used for products produced in the state labeled as "Tennessee Whiskey", along with the existing requirements for bourbon.
I just finished watching a Prideful Goat video over on Bourbon Real Talk, and here y'all are with a Prideful Goat label in the lineup! 😂
John J Bowman was another for the blind
Port style wines can be made outside of portugal. But to use the word port on the label it must be from portugal.
I've always liked Chattanooga Whisky products.
i genuinely look forward to the new upload daily, appreciate you guys big time, great vid, that Chattanooga white port peaks my interest for sure
The general thought of TN Whiskey is Charcoal Filtered Process. But most TN Bourbon is not Charcoal Filtered.
I love the High Malt out of Chattanooga. Our son lives there and I get most all their releases. Let me know if you are looking for any from them.
Prideful Goat 8 is amazing. Also, Prideful Goat - RUM finished is awesome.......if you can get a hold of a bottle.
Literally the only difference between white Port and red port is the grapes, white port uses white grapes! We have a winery here in my town that does white and red port!
I love The Prideful Goat, and to me, so far, it is the only thing that compares to Sagamore. Randy over at Bourbon Real Talk is involved with this one.
White ports are dry Ruby port is sweet
Tawny port is barrel aged port wine which gives a tawny or whiskey like color and is usually white port before barreling.
All port wine is from Portugal. Specifically grown and harvested in Douro Valley. It is a fortified wine.
Blue Note and Redwood Empire pipe dream are my new go to very delicious stuff
I have Chat 91 and 111. I like them both, and hope to find other varieties.
I’m a bit leery on Prideful Goat. I just get a vibe that the guy is just trying to push his product too aggressively.
Prideful Goat was co-founded by one of the guys over at Bourbon Real Talk, and 11 proof more than Sag 8... Suggesting higher angels share, so higher bottling cost
B and T is definitely Dickel sourced. It's a Total Wine brand that they always push on people who don't know. A friend who doesn't know anything about whiskey bought me a bottle of the 6 year for my bday. He told me the bourbons they recommended were all of them we're their brands. Unfortunately, they do it to people who don't know. That B&T is not very good. A mixer.
Very Old Barton and Elijah Craig small batch in the 90 proof blind
Trenton - Dickel 8 year bourbon is nice for the price.
Kurt - 60 is the new 40!
MGP did have a surplus of 15 year light whiskey that I think they made some good deals on. A distillery I am aware of In TX picked some up and made some pretty good stuff with it.
Only wines made in Portugal can be called port, but they can be manufactured anywhere else in the world, but must be labelled as fortified wines
Bib and Tucker source from 35 Maple Street Spirits
Just a suggestion. It would help me if you would list the whiskeys you are trying in the description.
I was very curious to see how the Boondocks fared. At Christmas I had the luxury of tasting the Boondocks 18 which was $$$. Wow was it ever delicious but none of us had ever heard of it. Honestly some of the best whisky I’ve ever tasted!! I know to skip on that one you had now lol.
Depends on whether you want one drink to taste or a bottle to kill the taste??🇨🇦😄
I love your videos and enjoying the channel. You guys really prefer high proof bourbons. I’m curious why?
I find 90-95 the sweet spot personally for sipping bourbons. With the 100+ proof bourbons I seem to lose the flavor and only notice the heat. However, for making bourbon cocktails I definitely prefer higher proof so the bourbon cuts through with some bite.
What are the requirements to be called a Tennessee whiskey?
There are specific requirements a spirit must meet to be labeled as Tennessee whiskey. These are defined by both federal and state law, ensuring its distinct identity. Here's a breakdown:
Federal Requirements:
Bourbon Standards: Since 2004, Tennessee whiskey has legally been classified as a "straight Bourbon whiskey." This means it shares all the basic regulations for bourbon, including:
Distilled from a grain mash with at least 51% corn.
Aged in new, charred oak barrels.
Bottled at no less than 80 proof (40% alcohol by volume).
No added coloring or flavoring.
State of Tennessee Requirements:
Beyond the federal bourbon standards, Tennessee law imposes additional regulations that differentiate it:
Lincoln County Process: This mandatory step involves filtering the new-make spirit through a layer of sugar maple charcoal before entering the aging barrels. This filtration is believed to contribute to the smoother taste associated with Tennessee whiskey.
Made in Tennessee: As the name suggests, the spirit must be distilled and aged entirely within the state of Tennessee.
Additional Specifications:
Proof Limit: While the minimum bottling proof is 80, both distillation and barreling proof are also regulated. The spirit cannot be distilled above 160 proof (80% ABV) and must enter the barrel at no higher than 125 proof (62.5% ABV).
Exception:
One interesting exception exists: Prichard's Distillery, established before the Lincoln County Process became mandatory, is grandfathered in and allowed to produce Tennessee whiskey without charcoal filtration.
So, to call itself "Tennessee whiskey," a spirit must fulfill all the federal bourbon standards, undergo the Lincoln County Process, and be produced entirely within the state of Tennessee. These strict regulations ensure the unique identity and quality associated with this type of whiskey.
I really enjoyed the boondocks port finished. Just a really enjoyable port finished bourbon that didn’t break the bank.
Porto white port is top tier
If you haven't had Left Hand Brewing Company's "White Russian" white stout, give it a try, the white port thing made me think of that.
Maybe its good for another blind test on fresh crack vs open bottle. I'm well into the open the bottle early class vs fresh crack.
Who is the artist in your background music?
Any chance for 13Th Century Rye Reserve gentlemen? I sent bottle back in December and quality will crush 95% + of rye whiskies you have tasted. We're bottling the 1st release of the bourbon reserve this week. Maybe dedicated episode to review both?
The SpongeBob with a harp reference really sets the tone. Lol
I have the Bib & Tucker 6 Year Double Char, 8 Year and 10 Year. I like all 3 bottles and do not think they taste like Dickel at all. 🥃
I agree on the first two. Yet to open the 10 year I have.
@@bourbonriders I did not get the motorcycle top on my 10 year. Just a cork.
I’m curious why you guys are hiding the glasses when before you would have them sitting right behind the bottles you’re drinking? We want to see the the glasses and that beautiful golden brown liquid. Also it’s confirmation for the viewer that you’re drinking the sample of corresponding bottle y’all are discussing at the time
I think I'll look for the Chatanooga...I like Chatanooga 111 and I like posted 🤔🥃
What's a decent Dickel to try, 8y or just skip. Unless you like their tasting notes?
Trenton. Use lemon oil to remove sticker backing.
I think the Makers 46 bottle is underrated for it's price, that'd be interesting to see in that blind
Trenton’s hair is looking good
So you're definitely going with Buffalo Trace and Hard Truth 90, then you need a couple or three more? Russell's 10-Year is an obvious choice. I'd throw Redwood Empire Pipe Dream in there for sure (or Lost Monarch, if you're not opposed to throwing a boureye in there). Cheers!
My vote would be for the new Barrel Foundation.
I was gifted a B&T (might be the 10yr). Tried to like it but just not my jam. Mine has a stopper with a torch like the Statue of Liberty 🤷♂️ There’s dust on the bottle now 😂
Put 90 proof Four Roses Small Batch in your blind for Friday.
Buy dickel 15 year over 100 proof for like 60 bucks and skip the more expensive bib and tucker which is dickle
Have you guys tried Clermont Steep malted whiskey a very solid pour from Costco?
Ken needs to make an appearance
I am usually in the live shows with Kurt last Fridays of the month. We will be having it in my basement in the 23rd. Check it out!
Hey gents, would you be able to source some Woodinville bourbon and rye for a review. I had their rye and though it was pretty decent but heard they we're a highly awarded whisky by our DFS distributor here in Hawaii. Just wanted y'all's opinion. Aloha!!
Trent had a good hair day today
