This makes a lot of sense. When the palate is warmed up regular Blantons is amazing.
Those bottles falling off the table was easily a top 5 all-time BJ moment. It's punny, but that was gold!
Tell me your a baller without telling me your a baller. First private jets and distillery naps and now Blanton’s blinds.
😂 we borrowed these lol. They're going back to Clines house now.
@@BourbonJunkies try not to drop them again 😂
At some point you’re gonna have to do my shoutout and drink that Smirnoff Ice 😁😁😁
You’re
@@The_Whiskey_Cartkeep fighting the good fight.
This is the greatest thing ever. Sean gave normal Blantons gold medal. So great!!!!
I literally busted out laughing when those fell over. My coworkers think I’m nuts.
“ gone, Aaron Hernandez “ 😂😂😂😂
Almost had some mashed taters on your hands when that box fell!😂
Dan giving new meaning to a Blanton's drop. #team Matt Porter, cuz I'm sure he's going to use that in one of his videos
A friend bought me a Gold and Special Reserve as thanks for some reno work, and it was the first Blanton's I'd ever had. I couldn't believe how bleh the Special Reserve was but the Gold was phenominal. Snagged a regular to give myself the full comparison and ya, Special Reserve has a cool bottle (I dare say that green is the best color for a bottle with a horse on the top, and the Gold and the gold horse topper are the worst looking), but it was just such boring bourbon. It doesn't taste anything like regular or gold at all, blindly I'd just assume it was a different companies boubon.
You can’t make this stuff up! The way the last two bottles free fall as soon as Dan picks up the takara red had me dying. 😂😂😂 thanks for this guys. Cheers!
Amazing video. I found a Blanton's STFB today for MSRP and was shocked. I obviously had to pick it up, but it's good to know that the normal Blanton's ranks as high as it does.
Can't wait to see Cline's reaction to that box fall 🙂
Literally SMH…
@@destinationbourbonI was wondering if he'd see it... 😅
I've done this very blind before (with a few LMDW's thrown in as well as a honey barrel) and taking the top end ones out Gold came out on top for me. I love me some Red though, I have a bottle at home, as well as a black, SFTB, and regular. Honey barrel is the creme de la creme though. Probably the best bourbon I've ever had, although the Maker's Cellar Aged is right up there with it.
Hey guys, I appreciate your blind tastings. The only issue I encounter is with barrel-strength whiskey, where adding a few drops of water can enhance the experience.
Just because it comes out of the bottle at that strength doesn't necessarily mean it's the best way to enjoy it.
Been thinking about this exact topic. Good content. Thx
We've tried original Blanton's, Barrel Strength & Blanton's Gold. They're all good & have their place. The other three are on our to-try list. Thanks for the video!
Thank you guys for this blind. Always curious about how these other bottles compared to original Blantons
Absolutely loved this vid. Full Stop... Now if I could just get my hands on some Gee Dee Blantons for under 3 times MSRP!
14:29 OMG! 😱 Got the feeling in my core like I was on the first drop in a roller coaster.
Perfect timed video! Just won a Blanton’s Gold in the VA ABC lottery. Never had it and now I’m excited.
that look at 7:56 LOL
I think this speaks more to the variance of barrel to barrel products. I've had amazing blantons. And others that were just meh. Great episode guys!
Dan trying out some new style bottle flips, dig it!
Great video! Would’ve been interesting to see where a Blantons SP placed also!
I really like regular Blantons but I do the the Gold is step up.
Playing in .25 speed when bottles drop is epic!
The way I gasped and laughed. That was one if the best videos ever.
These are great videos. When the box fell…😂😂😂😂
Love, LOVE the OG Blanton’s. Top 3 for me.
I got a bottle of the Gold through Ohio's bottle lottery. Only Blantons I have had it is an absolutely phenomenal bottle.
Just watched the Blanton’s Blooper 17 times. Hilarious.
Nice job! The Japanese releases are aged slightly longer and usually better. Also, you are missing the Japanese version of gold. There are 7 varieties of Blanton’s currently produced. Most folks miss that the Japanese gold exists also.
I agree here. I love Blanton’s gold. SFTB just seems to have a different flavor profile than Blanton’s. I have had some good SFTB’s, but I hade had some mediocre ones as well. It can be a little proofy. I don’t think I have ever had a bad Blanton’s Gold.
Si, great content as always!
That second place bottle is a bday bottle for me ! On the hunt now !
Everything about 8:33-8:43 is perfect lol
My takeaway here is that getting a good barrel is the most important thing because there are pretty disappointing barrels out there. My standard blantons at home was really disappointing. Maybe store picks are worth the premium? Havent had one.
They vary a lot
Cool blind! I love Blantons
I have had blantons once in a bar and it was so dang nutty.
Lol wow shit my heart rate went up when Dan dropped those bottles
I’m a little shocked about SFTB. Although I didn’t remember they didn’t care for previous bots of SFTB.
Great video! Help me out. When a bottle is 1/3 full and 3+ years old…. How does it compare to a fresh crack that’s left out to breath for 30min? When does bourbon start losing its flavor?
I watched the bottles fall like 6 times 😂
Epic box drop😂😂
Thats a big ol box of taters you have there
I kinda wish Ancient Ancient Age were in the lineup as well. I'd be interested to see where it ended up.
Came here to say this!
My biggest thing about it, is how long have those bottles been open? at what levels? because eventually them being open and at below halfway levels will affect the juice.
Ergo, the regular Blanton's is the best bang for the buck... no need to 🥔 after the Gold 😀
What ricks where these bottles from? were they close at all? I was able to try SFTB and Gold the other day and I preferred gold also.
Hope I’m not the only one laughing out loud at Sean’s “oh!”
I love how comparing them blind puts the ridiculous pricing into perspective. I love original Blanton's at retail. Secondary pricing is what makes people haters about good whiskey.
14:29 best part of the video
I bought green Blanton's from a random liquor store on the Island of Santorini in Greece and it was by FAR the best Blanton's I've ever tasted. I've never been a huge fan of SFTB it's good but there are so many better barrel proof whiskeys
I really liked the SFTB that I have, but I agree it didn’t come across as a BT product…it had a nutty character to it
I’ve had a couple and to me the SFTB is the best one
I recently got a Blantons Gold and a Regular one back in the release here(BC) in June. The regular I think is fantastic, but the gold is super hot at first then rolls into the flavor profile. Most of my friends that had both liked the regular better as it was easier to drink in general.
Always depends on preferences. If youre looking for smooth the standard blantons is gonna be the easier drinker. Personally thats one of the reasons its not impressive to me. It has no real punch
@@LeatherDaddy97 I agree, everyone's palate is different. I still enjoy the Gold but it was a shocker as they were really different during the tasting experience. It was a good learning experience.
@@zudosmg its amazing how different they can be with the same mashbill and warehouse but different barrels and proof points
Thanks for the vid and confirming that blanton's isn't really worth the effort and money.
Best vid yet. And Blantons, none the less!
Regular Blantons is fantastic!
whats up with your set? did you make those shelves or can they be purchased?
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees! Thank you for saying permanent marker on the gold. That's so strong and what makes it not my jam! Sftb and regular is waaaaaaaaaay better!
I just about lost my mind at that one point, blood pressure is slowly returning to normal!!!
6 Blantons ? hell yeah
omg on those not breaking!!😂
You guys left out the best one, Takara Gold ❤
I've watched 14:29 nine times and have been laughing uncontrollably
curious what is the date and rick# for the blantons in 2nd place

I felt seen when you said “gone forever Aaron Hernández” long live coach Kent Murphy
My favorite blanton's is the one that doesn't make my bank account cry 😂😂😂 which is the ordinary, o.g blanton's which in my neck of the woods it goes for $75. But the only negative thing is i have to have my local liquor store order it for me because they can't keep it in stock on the shelves.
I really think they need to do a best of the year flight and add a last spot in the spot for regular Blanton’s. Just to see how far it gets.
Sean's on the bottom of Dan's 69 and Dan drops bottles. Welcome to the show!
Basic Blanton's at retail is really good stuff.
12:44 closet Yu-Gi-Oh! fan there?
Got a bottle of the Gold coming tomorrow for my B-day from a buddy! 🪙
This one's gonna be good
Maybe that’s your grade from the world. A 66. Haha not me I would give you a smoove 96!❤😂. Ok now I need to add tha since now that I saw you DROP two bottles(I told myself how funny would it be if the all time flipper of bourbon bottles dumps these) and 2 second later Whammy I laughed for 5 minutes and kept backing up to see reactions. You are the bourbon junkies haha
“That feels like 6”
-Sean’s best guess in months
Can you guys do this with old carters??
Barrel variation on this line must be pretty big. I have yet to try a standard Blanton's that is actually good. The best one I've tried was meh. I've never tried anything else in the lineup, but mostly because I haven't really cared to since I've never had a good experience with their standard offerings.
Hi. Someone can compare blanton's gold to WT 12 yo? I loved gold as well and I thinking about buying WT 12.
This is a fun test.
Team Sean!
Normal blanton's is a solid bourbon. I don't think you can do much with it's formula to make it much better so it being at second so close to first feels right to me.
I love how regular ass Blanton's always wins for Dan
Let us know what Cookie's opinions are. Great show! Cheers!

Thanks for the content y’all. Favorite whiskeytubers for sure. Going to try and do a better job for ya with the likes and comments.
I try to leave a thumbs up and a comment anytime a video stars Cookie.
Black Blantons Matters, but I won’t open my bottle because it’s only 80 proof. Waiting to trade to a collector for something I’ll actually drink.
Anyone else's heart skip a beat there?! Jesus!
Gone forever, Aaron Hernandez
Here for the CJ shoutout, because this video might as well have been filmed in Idaho, taters gonna potate
Sooo.. the ladies have their B.O.B. We have ours…
You should start throwing in another bottle from a completely different distillery just to complicate things.
The “white” label is called Takara Red.
"I wish it lasted longer..." Thats what she said
It would help if you posted what each bottle is and not just flash a view of them...for us less familiar with the line.
Agreed
How does Dan get that perfect salt and pepper look?
Seemingly a lot of stress
