    5:39 First candy bar not (Twix) though not specified right or left
    5:56 Ominous bet is made, will Trenton have a shaved head in the new future?
    6:18 Kurt follows it up with a double negative bet where he will shave his head if it is new riff malted rye… one can only hope for at least one shaved head
    7:22 Kurt makes the daddest of dad jokes
    7:59 Trenton is still trying to figure out what savory means
    8:57 Trenton confuses malty notes with flip flop notes
    10:17 Kurt is tired of being second to taste and goes full send
    10:32 Trenton has a tasting face
    10:52 No growling is heard by the audience (at least by me on my phone)
    11:35 Trenton is speechless😮
    12:02 Kurt provides his second double negative of the episode, doesn’t give no depth
    12:34 Purgatory flavor, that may be the most unique note
    14:12 Trenton pulls the Uno reverse card and changes his order
    15:32 The two gentlemen have the same order!
    15:42 Mom needs to find the bottles cause she put them back to prevent cheating
    17:30 Trenton tries to predict and fails with style
    17:44 it’s revealed that sadly no one is shaving their heads
    18:49 Kurt is unsure how to pronounce Tokaji (tōk-eye in Hungarian) but you have the correct American pronunciation

    21:23 Kurt kills trenton by explaining the pretzel floaters

    17:32 okay okay, I'm calling BS. Trenton either passes as an experienced Rye drink or is just acting here....
    There is no way I'm believing he thought Nulu Toasted was Angels Envy in rum cask.... Angels Envy has so much more viscosity & taste like desert with a dash of Rye. Nulu toasted lets you 100% know its Rye but with a bit of deserty flavor to it.

    For what it's worth, there are at least a couple of (artificially) flavored cake whiskies out there, they're at the Total Wine & More chain stores. The demand for that limited Glenmorangie was very high and availability was scarce, I looked into it a while ago now. I think it also came in at $150-200. I'll stick to the cheap artificial stuff.🎂🥃

  • @apeekintime
    @apeekintime Рік тому

    Picked up an Angels Envy rum finished rye for $65 last week... it's a rum bomb. Not really much rye spice in my bottle so I find it interesting how strong of a clove and rye tasting and nose you both got on the bottle. My bottle might just need to open up (your bottle has plenty of air in it) before the rye comes up out of the rum finish. It's OKAY but I didn't love it and I wouldn't pick it up again even at the discounted $65 I paid for it. Maybe as a $40 bottle I would use it as a mixer because it was a unique subtle rum taste with the slightest rye note.

    • @LeatherDaddy97
      @LeatherDaddy97 Рік тому

      Because it doesnt say straight on the bottle they can add 2.5% by volume additives. Its not a rum bomb, it just has something in it yhat makes it super sweet. Theyll tell you if you email them.
