- Thanks to our buddy Cline we lined up all the Blanton's and blindly ranked them from best to worst. Are we missing out on the best Blanton's to exports?

Those bottles falling off the table was easily a top 5 all-time BJ moment. It's punny, but that was gold!
Tell me your a baller without telling me your a baller. First private jets and distillery naps and now Blanton’s blinds.
😂 we borrowed these lol. They're going back to Clines house now.
@@BourbonJunkies try not to drop them again 😂
At some point you’re gonna have to do my shoutout and drink that Smirnoff Ice 😁😁😁
You’re
@@The_Whiskey_Cartkeep fighting the good fight.
This is the greatest thing ever. Sean gave normal Blantons gold medal. So great!!!!
This makes a lot of sense. When the palate is warmed up regular Blantons is amazing.
Dan giving new meaning to a Blanton's drop. #team Matt Porter, cuz I'm sure he's going to use that in one of his videos
Almost had some mashed taters on your hands when that box fell!😂
I literally busted out laughing when those fell over. My coworkers think I’m nuts.
A friend bought me a Gold and Special Reserve as thanks for some reno work, and it was the first Blanton's I'd ever had. I couldn't believe how bleh the Special Reserve was but the Gold was phenominal. Snagged a regular to give myself the full comparison and ya, Special Reserve has a cool bottle (I dare say that green is the best color for a bottle with a horse on the top, and the Gold and the gold horse topper are the worst looking), but it was just such boring bourbon. It doesn't taste anything like regular or gold at all, blindly I'd just assume it was a different companies boubon.
You can’t make this stuff up! The way the last two bottles free fall as soon as Dan picks up the takara red had me dying. 😂😂😂 thanks for this guys. Cheers!
Thank you guys for this blind. Always curious about how these other bottles compared to original Blantons
I've done this very blind before (with a few LMDW's thrown in as well as a honey barrel) and taking the top end ones out Gold came out on top for me. I love me some Red though, I have a bottle at home, as well as a black, SFTB, and regular. Honey barrel is the creme de la creme though. Probably the best bourbon I've ever had, although the Maker's Cellar Aged is right up there with it.
Can't wait to see Cline's reaction to that box fall 🙂
Literally SMH…
@@destinationbourbonI was wondering if he'd see it... 😅
Hey guys, I appreciate your blind tastings. The only issue I encounter is with barrel-strength whiskey, where adding a few drops of water can enhance the experience.
Just because it comes out of the bottle at that strength doesn't necessarily mean it's the best way to enjoy it.
Amazing video. I found a Blanton's STFB today for MSRP and was shocked. I obviously had to pick it up, but it's good to know that the normal Blanton's ranks as high as it does.
Been thinking about this exact topic. Good content. Thx
14:29 OMG! 😱 Got the feeling in my core like I was on the first drop in a roller coaster.
We've tried original Blanton's, Barrel Strength & Blanton's Gold. They're all good & have their place. The other three are on our to-try list. Thanks for the video!
Perfect timed video! Just won a Blanton’s Gold in the VA ABC lottery. Never had it and now I’m excited.
Absolutely loved this vid. Full Stop... Now if I could just get my hands on some Gee Dee Blantons for under 3 times MSRP!
Great video! Would’ve been interesting to see where a Blantons SP placed also!
Dan trying out some new style bottle flips, dig it!
“ gone, Aaron Hernandez “ 😂😂😂😂
Playing in .25 speed when bottles drop is epic!
I think this speaks more to the variance of barrel to barrel products. I've had amazing blantons. And others that were just meh. Great episode guys!
I agree here. I love Blanton’s gold. SFTB just seems to have a different flavor profile than Blanton’s. I have had some good SFTB’s, but I hade had some mediocre ones as well. It can be a little proofy. I don’t think I have ever had a bad Blanton’s Gold.
The way I gasped and laughed. That was one if the best videos ever.
What ricks where these bottles from? were they close at all? I was able to try SFTB and Gold the other day and I preferred gold also.
My takeaway here is that getting a good barrel is the most important thing because there are pretty disappointing barrels out there. My standard blantons at home was really disappointing. Maybe store picks are worth the premium? Havent had one.
They vary a lot
I have had blantons once in a bar and it was so dang nutty.
I really like regular Blantons but I do the the Gold is step up.
That second place bottle is a bday bottle for me ! On the hunt now !
I kinda wish Ancient Ancient Age were in the lineup as well. I'd be interested to see where it ended up.
Came here to say this!
Love, LOVE the OG Blanton’s. Top 3 for me.
I really liked the SFTB that I have, but I agree it didn’t come across as a BT product…it had a nutty character to it
I got a bottle of the Gold through Ohio's bottle lottery. Only Blantons I have had it is an absolutely phenomenal bottle.
I’m a little shocked about SFTB. Although I didn’t remember they didn’t care for previous bots of SFTB.
Great video! Help me out. When a bottle is 1/3 full and 3+ years old…. How does it compare to a fresh crack that’s left out to breath for 30min? When does bourbon start losing its flavor?
whats up with your set? did you make those shelves or can they be purchased?
My biggest thing about it, is how long have those bottles been open? at what levels? because eventually them being open and at below halfway levels will affect the juice.
curious what is the date and rick# for the blantons in 2nd place
Si, great content as always!
These are great videos. When the box fell…😂😂😂😂
I love how comparing them blind puts the ridiculous pricing into perspective. I love original Blanton's at retail. Secondary pricing is what makes people haters about good whiskey.
I’ve had a couple and to me the SFTB is the best one
I recently got a Blantons Gold and a Regular one back in the release here(BC) in June. The regular I think is fantastic, but the gold is super hot at first then rolls into the flavor profile. Most of my friends that had both liked the regular better as it was easier to drink in general.
Always depends on preferences. If youre looking for smooth the standard blantons is gonna be the easier drinker. Personally thats one of the reasons its not impressive to me. It has no real punch
@@LeatherDaddy97 I agree, everyone's palate is different. I still enjoy the Gold but it was a shocker as they were really different during the tasting experience. It was a good learning experience.
@@zudosmg its amazing how different they can be with the same mashbill and warehouse but different barrels and proof points
I really think they need to do a best of the year flight and add a last spot in the spot for regular Blanton’s. Just to see how far it gets.
Everything about 8:33-8:43 is perfect lol
Just watched the Blanton’s Blooper 17 times. Hilarious.
I bought green Blanton's from a random liquor store on the Island of Santorini in Greece and it was by FAR the best Blanton's I've ever tasted. I've never been a huge fan of SFTB it's good but there are so many better barrel proof whiskeys
Can you guys do this with old carters??
Cool blind! I love Blantons
Basic Blanton's at retail is really good stuff.
Hope I’m not the only one laughing out loud at Sean’s “oh!”
Nice job! The Japanese releases are aged slightly longer and usually better. Also, you are missing the Japanese version of gold. There are 7 varieties of Blanton’s currently produced. Most folks miss that the Japanese gold exists also.
I just about lost my mind at that one point, blood pressure is slowly returning to normal!!!
Thanks for the vid and confirming that blanton's isn't really worth the effort and money.
I felt seen when you said “gone forever Aaron Hernández” long live coach Kent Murphy
Hi. Someone can compare blanton's gold to WT 12 yo? I loved gold as well and I thinking about buying WT 12.
Thats a big ol box of taters you have there
Epic box drop😂😂
Barrel variation on this line must be pretty big. I have yet to try a standard Blanton's that is actually good. The best one I've tried was meh. I've never tried anything else in the lineup, but mostly because I haven't really cared to since I've never had a good experience with their standard offerings.
Normal blanton's is a solid bourbon. I don't think you can do much with it's formula to make it much better so it being at second so close to first feels right to me.
Ergo, the regular Blanton's is the best bang for the buck... no need to 🥔 after the Gold 😀
Lol wow shit my heart rate went up when Dan dropped those bottles
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees! Thank you for saying permanent marker on the gold. That's so strong and what makes it not my jam! Sftb and regular is waaaaaaaaaay better!
You guys left out the best one, Takara Gold ❤
Long time subscriber AND I watched it twice
I watched the bottles fall like 6 times 😂
Regular Blantons is fantastic!
that look at 7:56 LOL
Let us know what Cookie's opinions are. Great show! Cheers!
Sean's on the bottom of Dan's 69 and Dan drops bottles. Welcome to the show!
14:29 best part of the video
This is a fun test.
“That feels like 6”
-Sean’s best guess in months
Thanks for the content y’all. Favorite whiskeytubers for sure. Going to try and do a better job for ya with the likes and comments.
omg on those not breaking!!😂
I love how regular ass Blanton's always wins for Dan
My favorite blanton's is the one that doesn't make my bank account cry 😂😂😂 which is the ordinary, o.g blanton's which in my neck of the woods it goes for $75. But the only negative thing is i have to have my local liquor store order it for me because they can't keep it in stock on the shelves.
Mash and Drum just did a $6k blantons. Didn’t see that one in there.

You should start throwing in another bottle from a completely different distillery just to complicate things.
6 Blantons ? hell yeah
Never have tried any blantons but gold lol, live in Ohio a state allocated liquor state and won a blantons gold before I've ever even seen a blantons myself. Still havent
This one's gonna be good
I've watched 14:29 nine times and have been laughing uncontrollably
12:44 closet Yu-Gi-Oh! fan there?
Love the show guys. I don't drink but like hanging with ya'll
The “white” label is called Takara Red.
what about blantons blue?
Here for the CJ shoutout, because this video might as well have been filmed in Idaho, taters gonna potate
Sean, where did you buy your "I need a Kentucky Hug" shirt?
I need to know as well!
Best vid yet. And Blantons, none the less!
It would help if you posted what each bottle is and not just flash a view of them...for us less familiar with the line.
Agreed
Black Blantons Matters, but I won’t open my bottle because it’s only 80 proof. Waiting to trade to a collector for something I’ll actually drink.
Is that four bottles of Blantons that's Dan's dropped now?

I try to leave a thumbs up and a comment anytime a video stars Cookie.
Anyone else's heart skip a beat there?! Jesus!
sFTb and Takara Gold
U need a SFtB over 130 proof
