This might be my favorite video of all time. I would love to see you run it back with other distilleries.
For sure will in the future
Agreed absolutely loved this one.
I agree with the agreement 🤝
This! Yes!
@@apeekintime half 🤣😂. We have a couple hundred reviews and a few hundred blinds/news/tier lists/collectors corners/vlogs and about 15 other types of videos. When we launch/try out new content it makes it safer (for analytics) if we do it with Distilleries we know will do better. That just so happens to be BT products. Honestly the idea is to do this with other distilleries but launching it with BT is generally how we'll try it.
It'd be cool to have a series where you guys rank every legacy distillery's offerings then have a final blind with the winners.
@@apeekintime Seriously… everything besides Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare and Blantons I’ve never seen on a shelf anywhere
OF next.. Or just brown Forman products in general
@@apeekintime they have tons of videos on budget bottles... Budget blinds even
@@apeekintime Reviewing more exclusive bottles is nice because when you find one you know what to expect
The results. You’re welcome
10. BT
9. EHTSmB
8. OWA107
7. Blantons
6. ER
5. Stagg Jr
4. RHF
3. EHTSingle
2. WLW
1. GTS
My guy said heavy rye spice to a wheated bourbon 🤣🤣.
I loved the video thou, great job guys.
I remember working at a liquor store in 2016 and one of the big bourbon guys that regularly bought stuff from us got one of each bottle in the antique collection. He brought us samples from each bottle a week later and we did a blind tasting of each. I distinctly remember my friend describing it as tasting like "vanilla jet fuel" lmao. It was by far my personal favorite of the lineup
Brilliant segment. Loved it from beginning to end. Thanks
I run a Whiskey Club and we meet monthly to do double blind tastings of 4 or 5 whiskeys. It's been super fun and enlightening and one of the things I have learned to avoid is mixing proofs too much. It's really hard to taste a 125 proof whiskey before or after a 90 proof whiskey and give either a real fair shot. You guys have obviously tasted a hell of a lot more whiskey than our crew, but I think proof, more than similar flavors is the real x-factor in large blinds like this.
Spot on.
Like wine tastings to a degree. Need to keep the shot group tight.
totally agree.
Yep... I think you really need to keep the proofs within 10 or so points for a fair comparison. Every time we've had 3 things that were 100 or less and one thing that was cask strength, the cask strength gets crushed because it it fire water compared to the others. One of my favorite tastings involved 4 pours that were lower proof and available and then whichever was your favorite, you'd get a step up version that was either older/rarer or higher proof... so if you liked EC Sm Batch, you got to try EC 18 after. If you chose Bardstown Fusion, you got a Discovery, if you went Baker's 7 yr, you got Bookers and if you went Maker's, you got FAE-01. It was really fun to zero in on something you liked and then step up or over to taste something in the same product line. But a Bookers vs. EC18 taste would be terrible.
Very much so. Tastings like this are just for fun.
Love it! It's like an objective based tier list. I can't wait to see you do brown Forman with the old non saz early times and watch it crush!
Excellent video fellas! Love the scoring system 🥃💪🏻
Definitely a fun video. With your collection, you should be able to do this for quite a few distilleries. Seeing how all of the Sagamore variants do against each other would be fun to see.
Great video! Love a fun double blind!
Been waiting on this video for a minute!!! Great content and I hope I get to try top 3 at least once in my lifetime lol
Great video! Keep these coming
This video is a nice change of pace. You guys should do this with all major distilleries. Old carter next please. 😊
Excellent Excellent vid guy's. Exactly what Everyone wanted to see. Super fun ...super content. Straight to the point. Wham bam thank you.... Thanks a bunch for posting.
One of your best, honest videos .
Maybe one of my favorite videos of late from y’all … love the rapid fire results!!!! Don’t over think it, just drink it!!!! ❤❤❤
I love this video. Buffalo Trace is my favorite distillery. Now I'm excited to try some of the top Whiskeys yall ranked.
Would love to have seen Weller FP in there.
Do Wild Turkey next!!
I really enjoyed this video you all. Great job., fun to watch, funny. Do it again!!
Awesome video. 👌
Next up, I recommend Jim Beam product line, including the Knob Creeks and Baker's, Booker's etc. obviously.
Love how Dan said W107 was very Rye forward spice… Enjoy this type of content, keep it up!
So strange cause I don't get spice at all. I think it's so smooth.
I get that spice on most wheaters. It can also come across like light effervescence or carbonation.
Despite the video being a little messy organization haha I love this type of content great video 💚🤘
Loved that content and appreciate how you did that blind and double blind to reduce any bias! Great format...and you did a nice job of editing what was probably an hour-long raw video. i was fortunate enough to land a 2022 GTS and at first sip it was EASILY the best whiskey I'd ever had...surpassing a tie between an older Lagavulin 12 CS and Ardbeg Dark Cove.
Much appreciated!
@@apeekintime You can still like one better.
Sorry you're unable to reconcile someone evaluating one whiskey experience over another despite them being drastically different flavors. What's the best dinner you've ever had? Was it steak, was it seafood, was it a hamburger? Those aren't the same, but if you said hamburger, I won't argue that your hamburger dinner beat out your best steak dinner. And I won't even think you're a maniac for thinking that.
Fantastic episode!!!!
wow so much whiskey to taste at once. great job. Love this idea. Buffalo Trace has just so many. very crazy. cheers.
great vid. keep up the good work. looking forward to friday. good luck on matt madness.
Can't wait!
Great artist love them both. The island one is dreamy.
THESE ARE THE BEST VLOGS!
I’ve only had about half of those but I think it was really spot on. The rankings I mean
Blinds reveal all lmao. Glad you guys aren't afraid to be "wrong"
I think you guys nailed it.
I've tried alot of bourbons because bourbon is the only kind of whiskey i drink and only kind of liquor i drink in general but for me the best bourbon I've ever drinked is the one i bought this past weekend and that blanton's. Damn It was smooth and delicious it was worth the price i paid which considering it's and expensive brand that was $75. Hell as a matter of fact i don't think I'll ever drink another kind of bourbon blanton's is that good. It's my favorite whiskey of them all. 🥃
Well, that was super fun!
Another fun one. Thanks. Love the blinds, double blinds in particular, of available and affordable bottles. Keep it up. Cheers.
This was awesome! Way to be vulnerable guys. 🤣
I'm glad you guys actually make use of the 100 points range in total, not like other people who effectively use a range between 80 and 100.
And I'm also glad that I'm not the only one detecting a grainy note in many BT products lately. Imo this doesn't correlate with age though, had experienced something similar with a very recent Eagle Rare as well. A lot of heat and roughness probably due to shortened fermentation periods and rushed distillation, neglecting quality to maximize profits. Can't do the same with WLW or GTS, or else, I guess.
Best of luck with your Virtue project, Cheers dudes!
Thanks, I wish you had done all of the Wellers too, and Hancock's but this is a huge line up to compare.
Seems like a pretty accurate ranking of them. Only surprise is OWA, but still not too shocking knowing what it's up against
Great blind competition
Great video fellas!
The hype the hype! Loved this video
I’m just happy that I have 6 out of 10 bottles. Nice vid.
This was exactly what we want to see
Interesting! I love Stagg. It is one of my favorites.
This video is effing awesome! You guys are getting back to basics and your individual idiosyncrasies. *Sorry Dan, big words.😅 I ❤ Junkies.
This is what we love to see
Agreed, some of my eht single sp are absolutley the best.
"That smells like nothing". My exact problem with buffalo trace lol
Incredible video! I had my wife do the same for me but I only had the Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare, and Blantons….. ER won… LOL
Perfect timing. Going to the BT distillery tour next month…EH Taylor is on the buys list
top shelf smirnoff on the far right. cheers
Fantastic and useful video
The Stagg Jr. was not batch 12. 130.2 proof was Batch 14. Batch 12 is 132.3...I think this might have been mixed up
I don't drink bourbon (yet at least), but I love your videos.
That was awesome. I can’t find any of them in NJ.
Love the pairings! Can’t find Girl Scout cookies, but fortunately Aldi has clones for Samoas and Tagalongs!
Great video boys
first-timer. Seeing the cat in the promo early on sealed the deal with the subscribe.
Wow you guys are tough critics. Love the content!
Great video! There are no losers in that line up! For me, Blanton's is #9 (second to last) which moves everything else up. Also Stagg Jr. ahead of EHT SIB. Don't know about #1-2, I'm sure you're right placing them there, gonna have to take your word for it. Sean, I think you might have just had an off day on the other 8.
The bottom 5 makes sense to me as a whole...although i would have guessed a different order
Great video
Only switch id make is make is the small batch EH Taylor and the eagle rare. If you get a chance the blantons straight from the barrel is excellent. May disrupt the ranking s a bit.
this is a great video idea
Would be great to include the cost of each bottle to give a little more context to how good or bad the ratings for each one is...
what do you have your DJI mics set at for gain? Have you noticed any bleed over being that close to each other?
This video made me subscribe. Please do 4 more of these from different distilleries and then take the top 2 from all 5 and have a big dog blind tasting!
Should have dumped the remnants ultimate infinity pour….Thanks for confirming my Eagle Rare love
Great Job 👍
Next up - Old Forester!
This is awesome!
It think the only surprise was the 107 being so low, but really all of those are great bottles and its not gonna jump too much for my palate if i knew what it was. cool blind.
Very entertaining and interesting
These are really cool. How bout one with finished and one with toasted. For sure do more videos like this though!
I did a blind buffalo trace and had almost the same thing - minus I ended up having ER and ER in front of the EH taylors.
Sean is never ready for the STAGG!
Best contest ever.
Great video fellas. Wild Turkey next?
Yup, I know Mash and Drum just did it but I’d like to see the Junkies do Wild Turkey as well.
The 2022 GTS might be the greatest bourbon I've ever tasted in my life. It was transcendent. A supernova of flavor bursting in your mouth.
I’ve been lucky to have tasted this entire lineup, minus WLW. My top 2 is RHF and GTS, so not too surprised how this panned out.
which year was the Blanton's? are these all most recent offerings?
Sean, is that a Karas Kustoms? Love that model!
Weller antique 107. Not available here in Finland. Found it in Ireland .
That's too bad. 107 doesn't even have to be your favorite. It's just everything a good bourbon should be.
You guys were hyping up the WLW and I was like "Oh! OH! Oh yes, which one is it?!" And then my heart dropped because I'll probably never get to try it lol 💔
Curious where EHTBP would land
All these things show is that taste is mostly subjective, and we taste and appreciate different things differently on different days. The top will always stand out and the bottom will always be the bottom, but the middle of the road bourbons will always be a more of “what you’re feeling” that kind of day.
100%
Would love to see the other popular distilleries blinded like BT was.
Fun video to watch but for me it doesn’t matter which one is the best or worst because I can’t find any of them on the shelves anyways 😢
You can't get BT these days? Since they fired the hoarding distributor it's been readily available here
Same test of all of these making old fashioned and sours ? That would be great 👍
I wonder if you have to cleanse the nose just like you cleanse the palate to get everything neutral again.
If I win, can I get it aged in a Basil Hayden dark rye barrel?
"zhere you ghooo buffahlo traceheshe that'shs the ordershs"
Godspeed gentlemen, you'e done us proud.
I always thought RHF was tater bait (read: Lee, Elmer T.) until I actually got a bottle a couple of years ago. It's quite a delicious pour. No shame at all in ranking it above Stagg Jr.
EHT single barrel is the highest in the list that I have ever owned. It’s a great pour and bottle. Never Owen any stagg jr or higher options would love to one day though.
Chapters would be great, guys ☺
Should’ve added Benchmark Full Proof in there too(Stagg Jr Jr)
Great video! Where would the ER17 fall in this lineup?
For Dan probably 1 or 2, top 3 for me no question
Just wish I had all of those! LOL
Looks about right too me.
