“Sip It or Skip It”?
Good one!
Love this idea!
I put my vote behind this, it works 👍
Whatever it is.. speed it up 😂
Isn’t that what whiskey as a journey uses for his videos?
“Is the Juice worth the Squeeze”. Love the reactions to Trenton.
Nice! How about
SLB’s Keeper’s,Sweeper’s, or Sleeper’s!
I have a new distillery in town,Moses Lake Distillery. All of us that have local distilleries could send in samples or bottles of our favorite local offerings and have a blind competition. 😊
Moses Lake, WA?
@@WhiskyForBeginners Yep.
I just picked up the Fiddler Georgia Heartwood SB last week while I was in Florida. It was absolutely fantastic. I had to bring home 3 bottles since I can’t get it where I live.
Here’s a new couple to review. Green River regular and wheated.
i just love that I am sipping a bourbon Manhattan as I watch this.....
I had an Old Soul High Rye Single Barrel Binny's store pick a few months back. I liked it. Especially because it was on clearance for $39.99, I kid you not.
Great video as always, gentlemen. Some series name ideas:
- Show me the Proof
- Sip or Pass
I've rather enjoyed seeing Trenton's hairstyle on any given day. 😊 Love how you two work so well together. We always enjoy watching and learning about new bottles and standard favorites. Maybe these videos could be called "SLB Spotlights" or if you make it a regular feature of the channel, "SLB Spotlights of the Week" or whatever frequency you end up choosing. Thanks to both of you for introducing us to new flavors! -- Di & Dan in Virginia
Cathead is located in Jackson, Miss., and they do distill their own spirits. TonyB
Thank you Tony for the knowledge!
Since most of your videos are released in the morning, I think a great name for new bottle reviews is "The Morning NEWS". If you made it a weekly thing released on a certain day you could call it the Monday Morning NEWS as an example. Either way keep up the awesome content!
I personally found this hilarious. I literally laughed out loud. It hit that dad joke note for me.
Just wanted to compliment whoever chooses your background jazz music--it provides such a relaxing, inviting vibe!
Old Route 8 might be closer to $125 in some areas and proof varies by barrel. Mine's around 127.3 proof. Old Soul 2022 was bottled at 109 proof around $74. Wanting to try some Fiddler Toasted, have not been able to find it. Parker's Heritage/Heaven Hill products are great, just not my taste for the price. Thanks for the review, especially the Fiddler Toasted review.
Cathead is in Jackson, Mississippi. We went to the King Biscuit Blues Festival in Helena, Arkansas and the bourbon they were pouring at the festival was the Old Soul High Rye which was very good. I am going to look for the cask strength and the single barrel.
“My undies about fell off.” Can’t beat this channel. I’m a Kurt, almost the same age, but sometimes Trenton throws out a doozy!
I recently passed on Parker’s Rye, no longer full of regret, so thank you for that.
How about “Bar Top or Flop”?
Old Soul is from here in the state of Mississippi. Distilled at Cathead Distillery in Jackson Mississippi. Love you guys from your southern states. Keep up the good work, love your videos and reviews. SLB is great
Possible segment titles, with apologies to R&B:
"Glam dram or Bomb Voyage?"
"Neat treat or I Only Have Ice for You?"
"Splendor in the Glass, or Poor is the Pour"
I really like Old Soul. We don't get it in Va so I make a short drive across the Va NC line to get it. Found 2 different cask strengths of OS in Md. The standard lower proof, (90*?) is better.
I had a friend give me a sample of the Georgia heartwood Fiddler and it was amazing. Probably one of my favorite Bourbons I have ever had. I hope it comes to the panhandle of texas soon. I cant wait to try that toasted.
North Texas rattlesnake juice,yum!
3:08 In experimenting with rye I've had two so far - Sagamore Spirit and Bulleit. And the Bulleit gave me notes that made me think of leaves from a kitchen garden, and roadside weeds. Both are very vegetal, but the Bulleit is emphatically so. I'd guess Trenton's getting the rye in the whisky.
How about "4 Pour choices"? Or "New Pour choices"?I acually want to do my own burbon channel called "Pour choices" but I have no production or editing or technical skill and a face for radio soooo probably not. Nice hair Trenton!
Series name- how about keeping it simple: "SLB First Sips"?
Been trying to find any FIddler here in Ca....."First Pours for the Good Ole Basement Bar! or "First Pours for the Good Ole Basement Bar!...Are they Good?",.. good video as always.
On the Route 8, do you find an aspartame note like I found on the Buckners 13 I tried? I believe Augusta sources from Barton.
Great review gentlemen. I love Buckner 8 and 13. They also have a 15 year that was hazmat that was fantastic. Tried them in kentucky mid august, the 8 runs 95-125 and now has single barrel picks that seelbachs offers. Absolutely fantastic whiskey. I agree with you Kurt the 13 is so good!!
Store pick vs standard. Would be fun to see you guys dig into different store picks and compare them to the standard offerings and how those barrels can swing flavor wise. Could be a good discussion there per distillery or releases about flavor and value. This would be especially fun to watch you do in a blinds setting as an ongoing series :)
Y'all don't have to send me a thing if you go with this but please please please do a double blind. Blind 3 to 5 togther (or seperate), rank them, walk up stairs, have someone repour and rearrange the lineup, then rank them again.
Big fan! Love the show! 🥃
If they are all new pickups, I'd call it the "Bottle Break-in lineup".
new haircut and a decent fitting tshirt keeping it classy
Just got a bottle of iron fish. Distillary in Michigan. Aged in maple syrup barrels. Award winner.
Just looked this up, I travel to Michigan a couple of times a year, definitely sounds like my kind of thing. Did you get the regular 86 proof or the cask strength, there's two versions... I wonder how it compares to Widow Jane Decadence, which is about twice the cost.
"Scorin' the next four in"
"Rate, what's great?"
Thanks for all the content Gents! Here are some possible series names. "New Whiskey Wednesday", "Fresh Cracks", "What's Hot on the Bar Top"
I didn't want to be the grammar police about the I/me issue. But since you nailed it (yay Rebecca), me don't have to. 😉
Thanks for keeping it quiet for all this time Robert! 😅
@@kurtludington5986 😂😂😂
Cool fact. Buckner before hero who the buckners is the namesake for his headstone is on my grandfather's farm in a small little war cemetery
If you stay with the format of two hosts and four bottles, call it The SLB 2x4 Series! 😁
That’s damn good 👍
Some suggestions for ya.
- Bar top or bust
- too shelf/ not shelf
- SLB: sippers thoughts series
Or just stick with is it worth it. I see that and am instantly like oh this will be fun lol
I found an Old Soul store pick near me that I love. I’m almost through my second bottle. It is MGP but aged in Mississippi I believe.
ASW Fiddler Toasted (Bourbon or Rye) FTW in my opinion
Old soul cask strength is phenomenal
Super terrific bottle review show 😊
Buy, try, or bust.
Buy if it’s just a great bottle/price.
Try if it’s a good bottle but the value/profile could be a little off for some and the redo is to have a pour first to make sure you like it.
Bust if it’s a no go.
Whiskey War Wednesdays!! Whatever unopened or new product you want to showcase, put it up against 2 or 3 other similar ones that are a more known commodity in either price, mash bill, proof, age, or finish!! Can either do it blind or not!
love y'alls videos. One content idea I got is you guys going around the country or even around the world to visit big and small distillers.
For a name for the new bottles/tastings, if you keep it to 4, you could call it Monthly Fourplay ;o)
Would love to see a competition with the 2 finalists from your bracket comp and the top 3 bourbons from the Whisky Advocate 2022 Top 20
Yea! " Trent and ME!" That is correct. Series name ... "What The Hech Are Tasting Today?" 😊
I enjoy the videos but I think it makes sense to know where they are distilled or if they are being transparent or not. I don’t know how you reviewed 2 bottles from the same company and not know where it comes from?? Maybe I’m being overly critical but I just feel like I hear “I’m sorry but I don’t know” way too often.
I also think it's important to state whether a bottle was provided 'free of charge' from the distiller, or if you paid for it. I feel like a lot of channels/reviewers (Kurt?) are reluctant to be critical of a bottle that was provided to them, because it could cause that distiller to stop sending them 'free' bottles.
The worst part of watching your videos is finding something that I think I would like, but can't get here in Michigan. Our state liquor commission is so behind the times in allowing many companies to ship here. I would love to try the Fiddler Toasted!
I'm in Michigan too. Just took a trip to texas and stopped in every state along the way to pick up stuff I can't find here.
@@subspeciez That's what you need to do unfortunately is travel and acquire. When it comes to whiskey, I have to agree that Michigan is pretty limited, although they do have some decent distilleries there making their own stuff that doesn't get exported well, if at all. Michigan is better with carrying other spirits and liqueur, so my travel bags are always stuffed with those when I fly out of there. If you want any type of alcohol with a cherry aspect to it, there's a ton of that there with Michigan cherries being so prevalent.
Interesting bottles and great grammar! 😉
Great video, guys. New segment should be "try it, buy it, or bust"
"Uncut...unfiltered" since you are doing first impressions, and giving honest feedback, good or bad
That’s one fancy haircut!
Passed on a Parker yesterday. $185.00 and not knowing how it tastes is a no go! Thanks for the review. Glad I passed.
They are the “Blew By You Bourbons’ because we probably blew right by them because there are other options at those prices and we are nervous about spending cash on crap bourbon
I would call it FOUR POURS!
Had an Old Soul cask strength store pick last month that was phenomenal. Reminded me of Jack Daniels SBBP.
New Vibes for your jam!
Lots of great names submitted already. I’d like to toss “Neck Pour News” into the ring. Thanks for the video!
"It smells like salad."
...🤨 "No it doesn't."
Thank you, Kurt. I'm glad you said what we're all thinking. 😂
"Neck Pours" would be a great name for this series.
Top Notch
Great show as always. I have a show segment suggestion. You could do a Fresh Pour Friday once a or twice a month or another idea would be Wild Card Wednesday. You could do blinds on existing bottles , fresh pours on new bottles, or a mix of both. Thanks guys!
Seeing that we are all Bourbon fans. The gift for the winner seems pretty easy
On my local bourbon group we have fresh crack Friday. You could do something like first crack Friday. You post the video on the first Friday of every month. You know how youtube loves episodic content. You could even make it into a playlist.
Fun with Kurt and Trent.
Fresh Cracks or the First Pour
How about one of these for a series name?
"New to Us" or "Uncharted"
New Trails with the Boys.
That's my pitch.
"The Antacid Test" In reference to Trenton's Prilosec!🤓
Some name options:
Pour Four
New to Review
First Sip
New Oak
Mash Appeal
(someone else recommended Neck Pours, which is pretty clever)
Was that the first pour of the parkers? How long do you need to sit out? Do you think it has the potential to get better in time?
Trent has had the Parker’s for a while. It is a good whiskey but I found it to be leaning towards a high rye mash bill flavor palate. Minty, piney, etc. Some may love that profile I would prefer a bit more sweeter notes.
Can't wait for that AWS pick. Sounds incredible!
4 Bottle show should be called “Four on the Pour”.
SLB BB Four on the Floor!
SLB presents Bunker,Shelf, Sip or Dip
Awesome channel, Gents!
GlenCARE or GlenDON'T
I do like the "Sip it or skip it" more, but had to think of something different.
ASW is one of my favorite distilleries. Great show guys.
What about doing it by states? We know Kentucky is hands down the best, but would be interesting to see top 4 from each state.
How about First Sip And Tasting Notes
Trenton, you crack me up with your taste description. Hope I never have a bourbon that tastes like a salad 😜
Basement First Sips
SLB new notes
Wet behind the ears
Or virgin underground (new bottles in the basement)
If you've ever heard the Rye Whiskey Song, that's how I feel about it. So the Parker's sounds right up my alley. I would have to buy my wife and children something special if I spent that much on a single bottle though.
Sip it or skip it is a good one by PVB Nole
I can't get the last three in my state...
"Honest Reviews"
Its all you guys ever give anyway so may as well have a series named as such.
Keep it simple and call it “The Lineup”
Question for Trenton What Rye would you suggest for a first time Rye Whiskey. I would like to try a Rye , but I have never had one…
I would go with a low rye mash bill rye whiskey. Old Forester rye or Wild Turkey rye both have 50-55% rye in the recipe and are a lower budget option. Good place to start!
@@slbdrinks Thank You. I really appreciate your advice. I am so happy to have found your channel. I have really enjoyed every episode. I have found the Early Times I like , Wild Turkey 101 is Ok, but have Really taken a lot to Elijah Craig Barrel proof. It smells so good and the taste goes so close to the nose. Looking forward to the next live stream. See you then…
How excited are you guys for Journeyman’s finally opening? Gonna have to get your hands on the popcorn whiskey?
Can’t wait to try Old Soul
Love the show!
Maybe "Define the taste" Or "Bull or Bold"
Obtain or abstain
“New bottles: studs or duds” has my vote!
Whiskey wonders then subtitle for the group pike proof or price or whatever
My thought is "New Sip Session" or "Basement Bottle Debuts". I also like "Fresh Cracks" which I see in the comments (not mine!)
Good luck finding Parkers at all
Great show today and four interesting bottles
I found a Ben Holliday but didn’t purchase was that a mistake
I'm here for the pillow!
