Blend 3) 1:1 ratio Old Forester 1910 and Old Forester 1920

Blend 5) 1:1:1 ratio Old Forester 1910, Old Forester 1920, and Sagamore double oak
Thanks for sharing
LOVE the 1915! The OGD and Rittenhouse was really good but I tried OGD and Old Forester Rye and like that a little more…trying the others soon. As far as Still Austin, I thought it was meh…tried several store picks and like others better for the money…
Thank you for sharing the recipes, much appreciated! Cheers!
Great blends guys! That Brown Forman Banana Pancakes nose is definitely unreal. 1910/WRDO as a blend base with some proof (JDSBBP) or age (Window Jane 10) is definitely a hard to beat combo. We appreciate the shoutout!
Your very welcome! Looking forward to checking out your channel! All the best!
@@slbdrinks their channel is fantastic. And this blend is lights out good. I tweaked the ratios a little. A little less 1910 and a little more JD BP. Give it a try.
1:1 Elijah craig small batch with Evan Williams bottled in bond = Elijah Williams 97 proof my favorite
Ok so I’m watchin the video and it’s after 1:00 am and I just heard the “quit your whinin” comment and damn I feel like I’m hangin with my Dad right now. I absolutely love you guys. Don’t be surprised if I comment again
😂 got to reign that kid in once in a while! Happy to hear from you! Hope to see you again soon!
Love it, especially since I can make all of these! Suggestion for future episode: Testing alternatives to hard to get bottles. For example, to me Sagamore Double Oak has a very similar flavor profile to Michter's 10 year Rye, the Sagamore being a little sweeter.
Appreciate the recommendation!
I just hope 1910 and 1920 do not get so popular that they disappear or become too expensive. Many you tubers are singing their praises.
Let’s hope not!
It’s already getting harder (but not at all impossible) to find here in south central TX. I used to see it on the shelves at basically any decent liquor store on any day. Now I’m having to wait a couple of days here and there.
I really want to get my hands on a still Austin cask strength as well. Many, many recommendations for that one.
@the 0% Liberal show it’s $60 here too usually (1920)
Thanks for doing this. Shows like your and Josh & Erin's continue to high lite many fantastic products and options out there for those of us new to this hobby.
Good news! Glad you are enjoying both channels.
For Buffalo Trace, you should do a video on each mash bill…
Nice thought.
I see some blending in my future! Thanks to you guys and all the submitters.
Ok Gents, so I love blending. My favorite: New Riff 6 year Malted Rye and Jack Daniels Triple Mash. 1:1 ratio. Toffee and chocolate banana 😊
Wow sounds great! Trent has the triple mash to try this.
This is off subject but have you ever tried “Howler Head Banana Kentucky Bourban”?
If you liked the banana pancake blend I think you would like it as well.
One of the best flavored whiskeys in my opinion, providing of course that you are into banana. Most of the artificially flavored whiskeys I have tried are lousy unfortunately.
I have not but sounds great!
Ya have to check out Stuff and Whiskey. Josh and Erin are AWESOME! Great channel and great folks! And yea Josh's blend there for Banana Pancakes is soo tasty.
I def will! Truthfully was not aware of their channel until the blend show.
Second this…Josh and Erin are great people!
Please make sure you do all the benchmark bottles in the Buffalo Trace review...they are so good
You will see them all Thursday!
Yeah Trent, quit your whinin'! Hilarious! Another great video fellas. Cheers!
100% with Kurt you gotta have butter on pancakes then the syrup, also I’m a huge chocolate chip pancake guy, feelin frisky chop up banana too and toss that in the mix
1 part Wild Turkey 101 and 1 part Early times bottled in bond ! Is the bomb for cheap.
This is a great premise and I will mix on occasion but usually to try to mimic something I don't have but am craving. Generally I try to appreciate the masters who put out a bottle. Not exactly as a respect thing, but I do respect what they do. Learning appreciation for another's ideal is a journey of its own. The best whiskey is the whiskey YOU like the way you like it.
No doubt about that! Well spoken!
Twirl, aka SJ
Awwwh wish you didnt read off what was in the blends. All about what taste the best no matter what distillery bottle blend or price 😁. Maybe if you read of the top 3 blend after the picks, but still a nice video 🙌
Looking forward to the Buffalo Trace shows
Going to be fun!
Well I'm going to do all of these this week, except the Sag DO blend (Only one I'm missing)!
Great video guys I’m playing around with blends a lot lately and I can say it’s an art because a lot of them are awfully terrible 😂
Lol I have to agree. Just like cocktails, don’t be afraid to fail.
Easy way to do a blind with 2 people.
First person pours randomly and writes down on their own paper where each dram went.
Second person doesn't know what was poured where, switches the glasses around in a random order and writes down where they switch each one to.
Neither party knows where the samples went.
Another fantastic episode! I'm amazed at your ability to keep these great new ideas coming. I can't wait to try these blends!
Good luck! Hope you find a few you love!
Another Hit, gentlemen! The Old Forester 1910 and Old Forester 1920 is my go to blend, but I have some new blends to try now! I can't wait to try the Widow Jane, Old Forester 1910 and the Woodford Double Oak Blend. That will be my next blend to try. Thank you for your content, neighbor!
Phil S.
Thanks neighbor!
Trent mentioned the "Rittehouse kind of tones down 114 proof" at about 15:28 in the video. Was the Rittenhouse blended with OGD 114 or OGD BIB?
Ogd bib
Big fan of OF 1915. Great episode.
Excellent presentation .
I have not tried any blends, but now I will.
Your choice, pragmatism and simplicity guides me to #1...Old Granddad Bottled in Bond, and Rittenhouse.
And further, I have never tried either as single bottles.
Thanks for the education and inspiration.
Your welcome!
Sweeter bourbons are my preference so I don't suppose anyone has tried OF 1910 and an equal measure of Woodford Reserve Double Oaked?
I personally have not but sounds very intriguing.
Super interesting. I will for sure try the 1915 blend, as I have both of these.
Last year I had both open and considered mixing a big batch of 1915. But I preferred the. characteristics of 1910 and 1920 separately over 1915.
@@gregoryberger9676 I have a feeling that it's going to end up that way for me but I can't resist the idea of trying it anyway.
Great video Kurt (and Trent)!
Cool to hear about your distillery review of Buffalo Trace. I have been planning a similar thing with Wild Turkey.
You should do it! Very interesting to take core releases from an individual distillery and see how they stack up!
I keep 2 bottles stocked for my own personal blend on my shelf.
I have all these whiskeys except the Sagamore. I need to start mixing. You really should check out Stuff and Whiskey. Josh and Erin are incredible!
I will!
I don't have the Rittenhouse, but I will definitely try mixing OGD BIB with a rye this evening. Probably use Woodford rye. Great content as always! Also, i have to say I really enjoy watching Trent as he gets more comfortable on camera!
Appreciate that!
Great show! Trying as many as I can. Again, great idea for the show.
Congratulations to you guys .👍🥃 Nobody else is doing these kind of blending videos.
Mash and Drum had one last January
I know Mash and drum had a blend show but not exactly sure the inner workings of how he organized it. I just thought it was intriguing and worth a couple shows.
A very entertaining, thoughtful, and earnest video! It almost makes me want to go out and buy these bottles and create my own "adult chemistry set." LOL! The one that intrigued me the most is the OGD BIB + Rittenhouse, because it is always intriguing to try and create something more interesting out of two simpler spirits (although I think OGD BIB is a very solid bottom shelf option). It comes across as a very high rye bourbon, almost reminiscent of Four Roses Single Barrel. For those that like a sharper spicy bourbon, they could like this alot. However, I got to thinking about those that might want a subtler experience, and I was very happy with the OGD BIB paired with a softer rye...Sazerac. While Sazerac is great making Sazeracs, it is a "low rye" that often lacks the body and flavor to stand up to other ryes in blind tasting. But the soft, round sweetness of Sazerac actually adds that round sweetness to the sharper edges of the OGD. I'm very happy with that substitution. I only let it sit an hour, so maybe two weeks will make a difference. Maybe the OGD will overwhelm it, time will tell. FYI!
Plz let me know how it comes out!
Accidentally blended 50/50 Eagle Rare and Benchmark Full Proof. Pretty damn good!
Great idea!
Is the list of the blends missing here? Besides the 1915 which I posted on the last vid, the Jack Single Barrel proof and the Woodford Double , is another fav, have not tried adding 1910 to it, will have to give that one a shot
I pinned a comment listing the blends in the show.
Did you try the mellow corn/114? It's definitely outside of this flavor profile group, but it's a fun one.
It was in my top 8 or 9 that I first circled! Really a cool blend with an even cooler name! Great job
Do you find any of these blends to be better than their individual components?
Hmmmm now that’s the 1 million dollar question!
I really did like the our favorite.
The 1915 is such a hard question because I love OF 1920!
I would have to say the ogd bib and Rittenhouse was better than both bottles individually.
Prudent Pappy from the previous show was definitely better than both bottles!
@@slbdrinks Thanks, I'll have to give those two a try. I have the OGD BIB and the Maker's Cask Strength in stock. The Rittenhouse is cheap and easy to obtain. I just gave away my Larceny, lol. But I'm sure I can borrow a bit back for the sake of science.
@@slbdrinks Yeah, I really like the OF 1920 too. I have a bottle of that in stock but not the 1910. I'm not excited to pay $60 for the sweeter, lower proofed 1910. Maybe I'll try subbing some Woodford Double Oaked for the 1910 into the "1915 blend" and see how that goes. Widow Jane 10 year goes for $75 by me. That price to proof ratio also turns me off. I think that one is 91 proof. It sounded like an interesting blend you had with that one, but I think I will have to pass on that one.
Rittenhouse has disappeared from our area. I will have to replenish my 1910 & 1920.
Really? That’s strange. Hope you will see it soon!
I like using old grand dad Bib with knob creek single barrel strength combined for my sazerac cocktail.
Nice!
Been watching these videos for a long time. Love the channel, and I also love that you use the black cat background music xD It would be awesome to chill on there sometime!
Trent found that public music a while ago. I love it to!
I wonder how OGD 114 would be with Rittenhouse. I don't have the OGD BIB.
Def worth a try!
Thats cool, mine was first out of the gate.... to put a spin on it... I also have in the works to put this in my Finishing Cask. Going for a Port Finish....
Great Vid.
Wow let me know how that works out plz!
How far miles wise and time wise was the trip to KY from you Trenton?
Hope you scored the 4 Roses 16 year.
He was able to get a couple bottles! The drive for us is usually bout 4.5 hrs.
I never drink before noon unless there is a barbecue lit.
Hey guy thanks for the shoutout and trying out the stuff n whiskey banana pancakes recommendation. Im gonna give those top two blends a try now as well
Appreciate your input for these videos!
Another hit! Watching Trent after he smelled the 1915 then the smile and then the comment on having that blend in a decanter on the bar kinda tells me that’s going to be my blend!
It’s a good one!
could have done a variation of the blind. One person pours, the second person re arrages the glasses. #1 wont know the order and #2 wont know the pour order.
Thanks for this recommendation! Will try that next time.
SLB and Stuff and whiskey oh yeah!
Must not be a football family, if you haven't drank that much on a Sunday morning lol
😂😂😂
Looking forward to a Johnnie Walker taste and Angel Envy, review.
Def will get to those at some point!
Awesome premise!!
Love the creativity - some blends who'd a thought would work?!
Some new things to try. Thanks for the Sunday bourbon brunch !
Absolutely!
Just got around to watching this video. I’ve blended my daily sipper for sometime now but it may not interest you as both are budget bourbons. It’s basically 70% Evan Williams 1783 and 30% Very Old Barton 90. It’s just a solid pour that sips extremely well. Just throwing that out there. Cheers!
Knowing what we know... Trenton just woke up
1 part 1910 and 2 parts 1920 is even better than the 1:1 blend. I call it 1917.
This sounds awesome i need to try
Great idea!
And if you back off a little on the 2 parts 1920, you have a tasty Battle of the Somme! 😄
I really want to try the OF 1915 but I only have OF 1920 on the shelf (no 1910). However, I do have Woodford Double Oak. I'm wondering if mixing the two would give me a similar result?
It might give you a similar result as in it should have really good flavor but I think 1910 and WRDO have different flavor profiles.
Just a half oz of each to give it a try. You may love it.
New to the bourbon game. I mixed Jack Daniels Single Barrel Proof with Old Elk wheated. In my opinion you will be satisfied.
Good Monday morning 🌄 I will be trying these and see you Thursday 🥃
Have a good week!
I really enjoyed the elijah craig really good
Love Stuff & Whiskey!!
Fabulous show guys! Never occurred to me to make your own blend but can’t wait to try some of these and get creative and put together some of my own! 🥃
Lots of fun and pretty tasty to boot!
Although it's sort of a pain, there's a way to blind taste with 2 people. The first person pours the glasses and notes which position in the line up each pour was (while guy #2 is not looking), then guy #2 switches in and shifts the glasses around (while guy 1 isn't looking) then notes where each glass went in the line. Or you can use tape rather than moving glasses around. Then you compare notes at the end
One of my flavorite reviews on blends. Thanks!
Thank you!
Great video guys, you almost got me wanting to dabble in Bourbon again.
Just glad you are involved in the channel!
Great video. Thank you for making this adventure fun!
That’s what it’s all about Carlos, fun!
Would love to see a complete list of all the blend ,I think that would be awesome to try at home.
I pinned a comment listing all the blends for your reference.
Sincerely hope you both have insurance?
Hah! Trent has better insurance than me that’s for sure!
You guys have learned a lot in the past year please do another show like this. Maybe with out soooo much Old Forrester
Stuff and Whiskey is another favorite of mine
Fantastic!
Awesome video
one of the good benefits I have from serving in the military is the class six. washington state taxes the hell out of alcohol so I went on base and they have a very nice selection of bourbons.
I love these videos. Its always great to hear the differences in each and every whiskey made. Its truly and art. I never thought about blending them together but for sure need to try. Only issue is my wife only lets me buy one bottle at a time so I may need to hide a few ha.
Lol! Maybe pour a couple oz here and there for later use!
@@slbdrinks Great idea
Was that first blend using OG BiB or OG 114? I thought you said BiB, but then you guys mentioned the 114 proof towards the end of the video.
Def bib. Sorry for any confusion.
@@slbdrinks I have never had the bib, however I own the 114....will it ruin the blend or will it come out close?
Give it a try! Both the bib and 114 are high rye bourbons. Mainly just the proof difference. Pour half oz of each and let sit for close to an hr and see what you think!
Cudos to the guy that thought this one up. I tried it when I got home from work this evening and I do really enjoy it. Now I might have to try it with the OG 114 to see how that compares!
Any chance you could post the blends and names in the description or as a tagged reply?
Yes I will soon.
@@slbdrinks Thanks, it helps for the hearing impaired.
Great show
Can we get the ratios in the descriptions?
Yes I pinned a comment with all the blend ratios. It will be the first comment under this video.
Throw some peanut butter on those pancakes in the morning folks.
@the 0% Liberal show I'm just a peanut butter fiend in general. But apple butter also sounds fantastic.
Hey that does sound good lol!
I experimented….Widow Jane Decadence & Woodford Double Oaked makes a lovely pour
Oh wow sounds delightful!
Blind or not this was a great video! Good job boys!
I also wonder what OGD 114 and Rittenhouse would be like… I think I’ll have to taste test it out
Surprisingly good!
I will try that 1915 for sure.
Very good!
Josh and Erin will see it, Kurt. I texted it to Josh. 😉
Great! Not familiar with them yet but planning on checking out their channel.
@@slbdrinks their blind head to heads are terrific. All bias removed…often a more available, less expensive product competes well with expensive, allocated stuff.
Made me think about how to improve my daily drinker WT101. With its sturdy powerful flavors could it be improved with something juicy, fruity? Maybe Jack Daniels Single Barrel or Bonded? Or Blanton’s but then not a daily drinker anymore. Substitute WT101 with Early Times BIB and same thing to try
So many options! Hope you find a good one!
Is it possible to improve WT101? That’s hard to beat by itself. 🥃
Can't say I have any suggestions but I was also curious if anything would work for the wt101. I guess it just comes down to what is distinct in other bourbons that you like and what would pair with what you like about the 101.
I understand. WT has a pretty specific flavor profile. Most love but some really dislike it. Mixing any bottles in the WT family is the easy answer. I would be curious in blending coopers craft 100 proof and the 101.
@@slbdrinks maybe WT101 and Very Old Barton? Cheap cheap and fruity, moderately complex, but needing more fullness from the turkey. I’m back to the lab
I see you have a Russels 13, have you tried it yet?
Mike, Trent just gave me that on Fridays livestream! Only a couple sips but it’s other worldly good!
@@slbdrinks I just missed getting one at Bees Saturday
Stupid meetings!!! I started watching this, got called away, and I'm just getting back!!! OK, enough crying, this was an awesome video, as usual!!!
Ha! Glad you made it to the end!
1st whiskey lover here!
Welcome!!
Need to mix that 1920/1910 one!!!
This has to be one of the stupid trends in bourbon. Shoutout to tater nation
When it comes to whiskey in general we will never agree on every bottle, flavor, proof, etc. Some get into blending their bottles, let them have their fun. That’s the way I look at it.
