I trust your reviews over anything on the internet. I wish there was an SLB APP with a video review of every bourbon. And thanks for continuing to review "gettable" bourbon.
Hi! I'm a senior in college majoring in Computer Science. My dad is a fan of your channel and watches your videos often. If you're interested, I would be happy to work with you to build an app!
Distiller.
@@mrv3257 I don't want crowd sourced. Too easily swayed by popularity. I like the honest reviews of SLB. But thanks for the suggestion.
Whiskey Vault is a great channel for reviews, those guys do a lot
Tomorrow I get to celebrate, it’s my last chemo therapy session. 😊😊😊 Just found a Makers 101 at Binny’s running over to pick it up right after my session. 🎉🎉🎉
I always have a bottle of widow jane on my shelf! I will need to find that fiddler!
Great vid! Father & Son! Love what you guys are doing! We have the Makers Mark 101 LE in Indy for $25.98!
Visited ASW last week and tried the Fiddler Amburana. Without seeing this episode, told the bartender the same thing "Tastes like Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal". This is now my favorite offering with Duality 2nd.
blue note juke joint store picks - uncut/unfiltered 120ish proof, green river distillate at cask strength. Price is around $50. Great underrated pour!
Trails End 10 and Wheel Horse. Cheers.
This was a great video! Thanks for the recommendation I will be looking for these.
Haven't seen the Makers 101 but Makers Cask Strength is an absolute BANGER.
Bib and Tucker 10 yr is a great 10 yr too.
Purchased the Widow Jane late summer for $75. First pour I was so disappointed. Had a funk taste on the finish that made me wince. First thoughts were my palate was off but flavor on another bourbon pour was spot on. Placed it on the shelf and forgot about til a few weeks later giving it another try. The funk was gone but nothing special about the flavor. Few weeks later, the next pour was better. Only bottle I’ve purchased that was exponentially better on the next pour til the last.
Just picked up a bottle of Widow Jane at Damon's Beverage in Augusta, Maine. Wanted to try it and the price was right 67.99. Really like it, the wife and I had a pour of it that evening. I would buy it again in a heartbeat.
I have the 6 year and it’s excellent. Got it on sale for 45 and it’s probably the best value I have in my collection.
I'm a big fan of the marker 101 in my old fashion
Really interested in finding the ASW Fiddler Amburana! Thanks for the tip... 🙂
Eagle Rare 10yr $39.99 and Widow Jane 10yr $62.95 ($89.95 for the 100 proof version) for me so I have a few bottles of Eagle Rare, but no Widow Jane. I would buy Widow Jane Decadence in a heartbeat, but OOS in my area and it goes for $99. I may pick up some other Widow Jane products as my spot has Widow Jane Rye Oak & Apple Wood Aged for $37.99 and Widow Jane Rye American Oak Aged for $39.99.
Funny I just got a bottle of that exact ASW have not cracked it open yet, can’t wait.
I'm hoping to find the Maker's 46 Cask Strength. No luck yet.
Good show fellas. I only see one of those in our market here in S.E. Michigan, But I'll keep looking.
Ok now this is EXACTLY what I want to hear about when I get a review of an off the radar choice, actual prominent flavor notes that are very bold like you described. I have no interest in the next big thing that costs $60 plus unless there's something that's going to really punch like you have described with a vanilla or a chocolate or whatever they're really going for.
Resurgens Rye is my go to from ASW distillery
Widow Jane is my favorite 10 year!
I love these kinds of videos. You’re the only channel that balances out the “bourbon porn” (high end, limited release, hard to find bourbon) with good, obtainable bourbons.
Thank you! 🇺🇸🫡🦅
I have both OGD 114 and OGD BiB. I find myself drawn to the flavor of the BiB much more than the 114.
One of my go tos. I don’t feel guilty going through one in a weekend cuz of the price. 😂
If you like the fiddler you should try to find the starlight amburana bourbon, it's amazing
Love the reviews..is there any way you can provide a close up of each bottle when you set it on the bar? Be nice to see it up close.
Dickel 13 year is very underrated at $45 it smokes other bottle and bonds.
It's 8 am and now I want to go buy burbon. Nice!
Nice father and son chemistry!
Awesome review as always boys…I picked up Widow Jane 10 year a few weeks ago at a local Bottle King for $69. I think it’s a great bourbon for the age statement and price. The “underrated bourbon reviews” should be a regular series on your channel! Cheers!
i just bought Makers 101 this week for $33. definitely way better than standard makers.
Since I'm in Georgia I'm going to see if I can find Fiddler. From the tasting notes it sounds interesting. By the way the spiny herb is rosemary.
Trenton you need to try tx blended whiskey. Straight up vanilla all the way. I love it.
I love this format of exposing less known products. 100K by the end of January 👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Love the Clyde Mayes 6 year
"I'm not a nut connoisseur or anything"...LOL Sure wish I could find that Widow Jane 10 year here north of the border in Ontario - would love to taste that! Thanks guys - great video!!
Early times bottled in bond, since buffalo trace bought the brand and used weller recipe it is the best value bourbon. I believe it is 4-6 year old juice.
Another great video! I would love to see you do another round of the best bourbon's under $__, but with a twist like bourbon madness where the winner of a $20 round would be promoted up to the $30 round, etc... Maybe even broaden the brackets with multiple groups at each level to get some more variety.
Let me help you out...Widow Jane 10 yr. is my favorite!
Sooo....after this vid I went out and bought Widow Jane...great choice! Not disappointed.
I get the clyde mays six year here in ohio. And absolutely love it.
The TARR bourbon is actually discontinued the rebranded to RD1 and is actually co-owned by the university of kentuckys football coach mark stoops so get it while you can
Trenton and Kurton always keepin it real
I was gifted a bottle of Widow Jane 10 Year by my dad. I think it's immaculate. It's nutty and rich. Wish it was a little higher proof, but I can't put the stuff down. Have almost killed it in a month, and I baby most of my bottles. Great stuff if you can find it.
Widow Jane is awesome! It is one of my 10 year bourbons. I wish it was the same price as Eagle Rare.
There's a Widow Jane at the local liquor store. I've been passing it up since it said New York.
I'd love to see a 10 year blind with eagle, widow, Henry, and a couple others you guys enjoy! The maker's 101 is a great value over the regular maker's for not much more money, but the added depth and complexity it's a no brainer I wouldn't even buy a regular maker's again.
Add Michter 10 year as the high end reference
@@grantyoung3076 and a Russell 10 would probably round out a really nice blind! I wish I had all 5 to try myself! I personally really enjoy that around 10 year age range ahead of anything else.
@@dramandrive I have a bottle of Russell's 10 that I just can't get into. I hear people praising it, but to me it just doesn't compare to Eagle Rare. Granted, the only Eagle rare bottle I've had was a single barrel, and it was really, really good.
@@matthewdohrmann nothing wrong with that, I don’t blame you, I’m not a huge turkey fan myself so I haven’t bought the Russell yet. I can get Knob 9 and WT101 for the same price and I would take Knob all day in that comparison!
@@dramandrive I just tried Knob Creek 9 for the first time with Coke recently and thought I was absolutely fantastic.
Sounds like I've got a few bottles to start hunting, that Widow Jane sounds interesting, I wonder how much flavour drift there will be when they move from sourced to their own liquid down the line...
Going to give Fiddler and Widow Jane a
Chance now.
Thanks for this great review. Love seeing labels outside the big name labels. Just picked up WJ 10yr, batch 705 and Clyde Mays 6 yr. $60 and $53 respectively at my local Lukas Liquor in Kansas City. Stoked to get into them.
May I suggest an underrated rye bourbon: Middle West Spirits - Straight Rye Whiskey ( Dark Pumpernickel ) with notes of vanilla, caramel, cinnamon, and a pumpernickel rye spice finish. Full body, complex and unique
Anyone looking for an underrated bourye should really check out Wyoming Whiskey Outryder. I'm working through a bottle currently and it is quite good.
This one was fun because you have a few I've not heard of. I have some things to keep an eye out for now.
I love the Widow Jane 10 year! Yesterday I found a WJ Lucky 13. Creamy peanut butter all day long. Buy one if you see one!
You are not wrong! Great bottle!
6:15 On first pass, I thought I heard "nacho filtered" and my imagination blew up like Los Alamos. 😄👍
Have yall tried any of the wilderness trail offerings? Recently found a BiB and cask strength store pick that have become 2 of my favorites.
Maker's Mark 101 is one of the limited releases that is quite often found at the smaller mom and pop stores through much of the year. Great bottle.
Spikey leaf I’m guessing is Rosemary ?
I’m drinking 114 right now!
Widow Jane released a 10 year anniversary edition. It comes in 100 proof and those extra 9 proof points are great. If you get a chance I recommend picking it up.
Being in Alabama we will be getting an allocated Clyde mays cask strength 10 yr and 12 yr at some point this year I saw it on the allocated list for the year not sure what month it will be though I’m eager to try it all I have had is the 5 year and the Alabama whiskey
Trent's herb he was looking for was... rosemary
Blue Note Juke Joint uncut & unfiltered is one of my favorite "not so well known" choices lately. I would love to see more of these style videos that shine the spotlight on lesser known bottles. Have either of you tried Black Maple Hills Small Batch?? I'm intrigued by the bottle but it's a bit expensive to try for the first time.
Agreed on the BN!
There's a Widow Jane 10th anniversary edition 10 year that's 100 proof out there. It's very good.
Great show as always- how about a show where you pick 5 (or any #)from one of the shelves behind you in the basement…
People say they don't like Makers Mark...but they really like Makers Mark.
I tool your advice and paid the $5 extra for MM 46. Excellent choice.
Can't wait to get a bottle of MM 101 now!
Try Bulleit for the price pretty good.
I have have to agree with @Andrew Elsie a 10 yr blind battle with ER, HM, WJ, Russell’s, Mitchters, Bulliet 10 and maybe others would be really fine to watch.
I can't decide which of you two I like the best. You guys are my "go to" authorities because we must have the same nose and taste buds. Thanks for all you guys do. Never miss a show.
Another great video...4 of 5 I have never heard of. As I write this comments 99.9K subs...going to hit the 100K milestone before the next video!
Love picking up new bottles to try. Even the budget bourbons. Sometimes they’re dog water, but it’s worth the risk.
Great video gentlemen. 😎
I enjoy your Chanel and Bourbon. I would love to find a Bourbon my wife would like. She thinks they are all “angry”.
Just got a Makers 101. Damn good one, will be keeping one on hand for sure
Picked up widow Jane 10 year last week I'd label it the best bottle I have out of the 4 I have.. EC. OF. WT Rare breed and WJ 10.
The problem with the Widow Jane 10 year is the price. When there's Russell's for $40, Eagle Rare for $40, McKenna for $50-60, and Tincup for $50, $75 is a bit steep.
I like this “underrated” especially under $100 bucks, love being introduced to new brands, small makers etc 🥃
I was wondering if you two have ever had Noah’s Mill. Found a couple bottles in missouri while traveling, I’m a huge fan of it.
Have you ever done or considered doing a tasting based on proof point?
I love Clyde single barrel when it’s available. Just picked up a store pick single barrel at my local class 6 on post.
I am so happy to see Clyde Mays getting some love. I think the 5, 6 and 11 years are exceptional and always have them on my shelf
Widow Jane 10 year for the win!
CALUMET FARMS 16 and SAM HOUSTON 15. I would like to see an SLB Drinks review. This is a great channel.
Love the video and knowing more about many of the bottles we probably all walk right by but shouldn’t. Thanks for giving them a little spotlight. Always interested in more like this! Cheers!
I want to try all of these, especially the Fiddler Amburana. That sounds amazing.
Just an FYI, the WM Tarr is sourced 🦃, gobble gobble!
Have u ever tried New Riff single barrel bourbon. It’s 113.3 proof we just got it at work and so far so good
Asw Amburana sounds amazing. Is it true only a single barrel was released? 200 bottles. That’s going to be challenging to find in the wild.
I bought a bottle of the widow Jane 10 years after Trent talk so highly about there decadence but couldn’t find it so I went with the 10 year
Makers 101 is outstanding.
Just tracked down a bottle of the ASW Amburana. All the notes you mentioned are there. It's spicy but not overly. Drinks under proof in a good way. Great recommendation!
Glad you liked it!
They won’t say but based on flavors I’m convinced most Widow Jane whiskey comes from Sazerac (BT). I felt that the first time I visited back in like 2017. They have some of their own but it’s mostly only available in NY. I have a bottle of their Baby Jane that I have enjoyed.
WJ at 70 may taste better to Trenton but Eagle is still low 30 s here in Texas - hard to justify the cost difference..but WJ is on the shelf everyday so that is an offset to the Eagles availability! Thanks for the thought provoking episode!
eagle rare is 70plus here in ny if you can find it
I've noticed this too. I can pick up WJ at any ABC store in North Carolina. I have three bottles of Eagle Rare (my wife and I stood in line for our chance at it). I've never tasted WJ, but I do like Eagle Rare!
ER is $90-$100 in Illinois and they don't last on the shelf. I won't pay that but others do
You should do a show where you try whiskey’s from every state. You might need to break it up into several shows 😅
Definitely adding these to my list. Thanks for sharing.
Rosendale, NY is outside of Kingston. The limestone mines made the cement for many famous structures. Now, for those who know, the caves are home to Iron Mountain, the records management giant. For some time in the mid 20th century, there were mushroom farms in the empty mines.
How about a Makers Mark blind? Which one is best?
Clyde Mays made here in Alabama. That Special Reserve is pretty easy to find here in Alabama.
It’s a favorite of mine!
I can't even find the Fiddler's Amburana on their own website.
Exactly what I want to see. Thanks guys.
Have you ever tried Wolcott BIB?
