This might be the best blind pour team-theme challenge yet. Watching Bear Doyle nail every bottle and then slowly try to convince himself it was something else was shockingly entertaining. Thanks Brandon for the great idea!
These are great, one of my favorite style of videos. I especially enjoy when they are attainable bottles. The only improvement I can suggest is to keep the name of the bottle somewhere onthe screen while you're talking about it. Sometimes people are half watching these videos while doing some other task and it's always nice to be able to look over and instantly see what you're referring to. Thanks.
Brandon is the man. And Dan nailed the theme, distilleries, and essentially 1 bottle. Brandon next please do the 4 worst Woodford Masters Collection and see if they can surmise it is a $125 line of whiskey..
I prefer Jim Beam Black rather Evan W. Black which cost is same. WT yes but only 101. Grand Dad is so expensive in my country. For Jack Daniels I would step up for Gentelmen or go with Jim Beam white with ice. That works for me at least.
Gotta give the due credit where the credit is due, Vampire may be right for once. I bought an ET BiB in CA and brought it home to my ABC state where it's not available. Turned out to be a sazerac bottle, but AYE CARRAMBAH this stuff is CRUSHABLE. It's up there with RE LM/PD, 1792sb(aired out for 2-3 months), and maybe cooper's craft 100 in the "Cheap homeruns" category.
The guys nailed it on the OGD comment while still blinded - I’m in the minority in the bourbon community that doesn’t love any of the OGD. They all have a sourness that doesn’t hit my palate right.
Shouldve thrown in mellow corn. That beats buffalo trace in blinds for me, although now that i think of it buffalo trace took last in every blind i put it in....
Evan Williams Black Label is the Best Budget Bourbon on the Bottom Shelf under 20 Bucks. I could happily drink Evan Williams for the rest of my life and never complain about spending more than $20 on a Bottle of Whiskey ever again. Wild Turkey 81 and Jack Daniel’s Old No.7 is already 20 Dollars down here in Florida. Evan Williams is still under $15/$20 at most locations throughout the State.
@@lonewanderer3603 In that context it's still terrible. I'm not going to drink crappy whiskey just because it's cheap. Old Tub is $20 here. There are many better products at that price, and some even cheaper. I can get Wild Turkey 101 for $20, or the 101 Rye for $18, or any of the Benchmark series for $15 - $23, and so on. That said, if you like it, nothing wrong with that. Personally, Old Tub was very near the "drain pour" line for me.

PSA: If you have fruit flies (or rotten pumpkin flies), make sure that Old Elk stopper has been removed from any bottle you care about.
Whys that?
head in the clouds; mind on fruit flies
I love these blind whiskey wars!!! Thanks Brandon for the assist!
Really like these themed blinds! Keep ‘em coming!
More whiskey wars! this was what got me into your channel in 2020 and we dont see too many anymore!

Good job - all entry-level whiskies. I'm impressed.
My blinds I do at home always surprise me. I think it allows me to judge what I like without being influenced by price, label and prejudice.
never thought of doing a blind at home. Sounds like fun at a party to do one
Such a perfect addition to the channel!! Fantastic content.
We just got Rare breed and Russell's 10 for the first time in our store, guess we will be trying them tonight!

Stop this Immediately 😂
impressive gents. your palates are amazing!
Brandon is the hero we all needed here. Great idea on this.
Indeed. LET'S GO BRANDON!
Thank you Brandon. I do enjoy the throwback feel to these
The blind blinds are awesome. No preconceived notions or bias. Keep ’em coming please.
Good job! You didn't call all the bottles but you had the theme and several of the distilleries.
Love these videos, keep em coming!
Oh and I love this format!!
“Brandon Blinds” needs to be a regular thing. Well done!
Agreed. Keeps you on your toes
Random question to chat. Should you try water in everything or just certain things?
I just had the standard Wild Turkey, for the first time, at a neighbor's BBQ. Very tasty, easy drinking.
That a Boy, the Savant is back!! 😉 Fun video guys.
Thank you for confirming my own preferences. This video was actually more interesting than expected.
Absolutely a great vid. Fun to watch.
I’ve been really enjoying this new format. Great job, Brandon!

For the small price hike, WT 101 would crush 'em all and it is just as easy to find.
Best episode this year
Good one guys! Enjoyed it. Cheers
Double blind whiskey fights are amazing
"TRY TO WHAT?!" So good lol!
These blinds are awesome and more evidence that if you aren’t #TeamDan you are just wrong
I think this is a fun change-up for you guys to work together vs brandon since you're always competing against each other!!
This was great!
Dan headshotting a lot of these on first guess and I’m not even halfway through.. damn

Did Dan used to drink Jack alot before getting into chasing whiskey? That's why i can always smell out a jack lol
I liked Gentlemen Jack back in the day
Excellent blind. Good job boys.
Brandon is my hero.
Wild Turkey 101 should be here. Any fast station selling liquor is a problem… but any good grocery store liquor section was WT101
Old GrandDad Bottled in Bond is pretty damn good.
Awesome way to do blinds and man Covid mess Sean up!! Dan is killing it with these and pooour guesses 😂
Sprague hits a home run…now do rye’s
Surprised the Evan Williams Black label came in 2nd.
Love these surprise blind flight fights.
Loved this one
You guys are good!!
this is probably your best video
Yall need to do a lineup that is your top 5 BJ single barrel picks to see which distillery wins!!!
I don’t like Old Tub either. Mix Old Tub with OGD114 to get rid of it. That actually tastes good. 😆😆🥃
Enjoying the "Brandon Blinds."
My favorite is cold jack Daniel’s

#MoreBrandon
The Russell 10 year I've had is definitely not nutty, it's more super vanilla heavy.
You guys always make me laugh...love your takes and suggestions!! Keep me laughing all week
What a great blind. Very impressed guys, u too, Dan. Jk. Impressive, Dan.
Sagamore bottles make me drool
Can never go wrong with a Turkey.
Turkey is an old stand by.
lol, (eyes widen) "try to what?"
You guys need to be wearing ASCOTS if you're going to make a video like this ...
Bird's the word.
The savant coming through on the nose like he never got covid! 🤯
And as usual Turkey wins again.... Only underrated to those outside the bourbon communities.
Prediction: wild turks for the win!
🦃!!!!!
Try too... WHAT?!
Shouldve thrown in mellow corn. That beats buffalo trace in blinds for me, although now that i think of it buffalo trace took last in every blind i put it in....
@@kevinmathis1278 makes a good old fashioned but i dont think ill ever buy another. I just dont think it competes in the $25 price range
Ewwwww I hate Mellow corn lol
@@BourbonJunkies its not great, i just liked it better
BT in a mint julep is nice
A B D C
I thought this channel was PG-13? LMAO

Wild Turkey is about$17 here in Texas. That said, I can get Wild Turkey 101 Rye for $18, which is an amazing value.
@@Vykk_Draygo Yep, and Very Old Barton is about $14 and slays bottles 3 to 4X as expensive.
Dan’s like a chick. He thinks he’s right about everything, but when he’s wrong he gets really depressed and blames Sean.
Agree with everyone else, these are great to watch! #LetsGoBrandon
You can find better whiskey than this in every store. Should have at least included WT101 and OGD Bonded.
You vastly overestimate the liqour shelves at stores in northern Michigan. Regular old granddad was even pushing it for this list.
Try to what?
"Old Tub is disgusting."
0/10 this whole video. Unsubscribing. 😆😆
I mean it's just not our jam... Never will be either
@@BourbonJunkies I think it's one of those bottles you have to evaluate in the context of being regularly available for $15.
@@lonewanderer3603 it tastes like shit but it might be the cheapest 100 proofer out there that’s not mellow corn lol
I bought an Old Tub and hate it. It has gone into my Infinity Bottle and I am trying to “blend it away.”

Love this content. Love to see one mixing two unicorns with two obtainable bottles that you typically rank way up there.
Jack is terrible burns and taste bad how do people drink these things ? I drink to get drunk and party not sip cause it takes good
Wild Turkey is overrated
