I'm always suspicious of bourbons that rely on fancy bottles and packaging to draw you in
It is not restricted to fancy bourbons either.

Watching Trent have an aneurism trying to think of the word ‘bias’ was epic. Happens to me all the time lol
My wife purchased the 1st infantry big red one bottle for me cause my dad was in the division. I cracked it open on August 8 for his birthday and I’m also going to do a pour on his death day and every year after. It was decent juice but it’s more of the sentiment and what it represents to me. It was 100 for the bottle.
So happy to see someone review Borchetta. Scott Borchetta owns Big Machine Music ( used to be Taylor Swift's label). They have a lovely little tasting room and music room in downtown Nashville. They have Clayton James whiskey and they are known for their vodka. But the bourbon they are kind of snooty about....the waitress was very "oh it is very rare and is a $100 a pour." I have always thought it is an overpriced Blanton's wannabe. I think it is so expensive because there are so few bottles.
He sponsors the Nashville grand prix ....and the stoppers are famous race cars.
Thanks for trying so I know that I don't have to.
Thanks for the info as I will be heading to Nashville and will check this place out (although won’t be paying for that overpriced pour😂).
If they even deign to give one to you. My husband and I go there to listen to the music. It is next to the Moxy in Downtown Nville. I get the Clayton James Single barrel barrel proof.....not bad. @@padave7505
Assn is association
Too many video games.
My grandfather was in the 101st airborne, thank you for showing this even though you it wasn’t all that
I’ve tried all of them. 101, 82, 3ID…they’re all the same.
KURT!!!!---TRENTON!!! I was in the 101st for 2 years when I was in the Army!!! I def would like to find that bottle!!! Great video!!! CHEERS!!!!
A totally fun video. $299 buys a lot of good whiskey.
Love watching you guys, the entertainment value alone is worth the time. The education is even more interesting, even when my preferences are different. Like you say, drink what you enjoy! Keep it up Kurt and Trent!!
Thanks for taking one for team and helping us all avoid these bourbon traps! Thank you for the great content!
I'm glad you guys bit the bullet and bought the fancy bourbons that we cannot afford and should avoid. Kurt, don't forget that you got that Kentucky owl special release for 1K a few years back!
I was at Harry’s when Trenton got the Deringer and told him it was bad juice. Should’ve grabbed another bottle of Ben Holoday Red Wheat like I did😂😂. Cheers
I am working on a bourbon of my likings. So far, the ones I truly enjoy are from $30 to $60 price points . Old Forster and West Bottom whiskey have been a joy to drink.
Which Old Forester?

Big Machine bought out TennSouth distillery a few years ago. That distillery (about an hour drive from Nashville) is now the core distillery for BM. I still have a bottle of Tenn South Rye that was made just before BM bought them.
They only released the Borschetta in Tennessee and Indiana.
That’s why not many reviews.
Wife bought me one.
I like it a lot actually
Thank you Trenton for your sacrifice in making this video
Big Machine is a big record label in Nashville, run by a guy named Scott Borchetta. Big country music label, known for Taylor Swift back in her country music day, Florida Georgia Line, Tim McGraw, and others. Not surprised they split off and bought a distillery to market “high end” whiskey
I did a tasting at Boundary Oak. The bottle is named for the 101st Airborne Division Association, and some level of proceeds go to them. The 101st Airborne Division itself is able to maintain operations solely with our tax dollars.
Thank you Kurt and Trenton. As always your reviews help a lot.
Wondering if you can do a review on CLYDE MAYS, specifically on the 5 YEAR SINGLE BARREL. Haven't seen you review any Clyde's
I have "always" stepped back on high priced purchases having little to no knowledge or even research. Will review the channel to see if you have made videos on "High" priced bourbons. I have heard of people buying higher priced bourbons thinking the product must be better then basic daily shelf bourbons only to be disappointed . Thanks for your videos as they have really helped me begin my own journey to understanding the bourbon community. Really enjoy your channel and thank you...
Will also be looking for a video that gives some in depth understanding on the different classifications of bourbon types to gain better knowledge of labeling.
Finally the derringer shows up. Got this as a bachelor party gift for my brother. It was so bad
I must’ve gotten a bad bottle or something because all I got from it was moldy moss
I bought the derringer strictly for the decorative effect but only paid 79 nice to know I won’t be missing anything by tasting it
Like Trenton said, just donate to a veterans charity. I don't plan to buy any "veteran" bourbon because its meh whiskey and a lack of charity transparency.
Snagged a fancy box of JR Ewing bourbon on clear out at a grocery store for under 20 bucks. Hagman did his own endorsement. " If it's good enough for me, it's d--d sure good enough for you" lol. It was good , maybe a 40 dollar tops. I liked the clear out price best.
You're not the only video i've watched THIS WEEK calling the H. Derringer more like a gin than a bourbon
The H. Deringer looks quite a bit like the Adictivo tequila/whiskey bottle. I was always curious about the "military collection" of the 101st and 82nd Airborne so thanks for the review! Fun video and thanks for helping save some money. Keep up the great, honest videos!
Great video! I’ve seen theses bottles in the liquor stores throughout Nashville and always wondered if the juices inside were worth the prices. Thanks for letting us all know that it’s definitely not. Thanks Trenton
Hey, guys! Look, this was an amazing video, as always, and it’s ok to take a hit every once in a while in the name of whiskey science, marketing, and content creation. Kurt, don’t be too hard on Trenton. He did a great job! Love you guys and can’t wait for the next video drop!!! Cheers!!!
i love these type of videos..
i dont wanna buy shit i dont like, so i appreciate the heads up from the experts!
It seems like Trenton was paying for the bottle rather than the juice. All awesome looking bottles.
Give me a basic bottle with a taped on label and decent booze, save me the trouble of throwing away all that fancy boxing.
That borchetta price is stunning. There have been dozens of posts in the Facebook bourbon groups I’m in asking about the Deringer. Everyone seems to agree the whiskey is terrible, but they’ve sold a ton of bottles.
What no tight shirt this time lol.
300 bucks is crazy to me, I've spent 100 but never 300 dang. I'd love to see the bloopers of the video after your done shooting this one to see what conversations come up lol. As always love what you guys are doing
The 101st opens up much, much better after some months. Every time I revisit it, it gets better. Another interesting note is the bottles are supposedly hand made in Italy ( according to an article I read a while back ), and they are definitely super high quality. Is the price steep for the juice? Yes. But it does get better in time, and when it's out you're left with a premium quality decanter. Mix in the donations and I was willing to buy it at $100. I think closer to 120$+ is pushing it though.
Me. Screaming at the phone. The word is BIAS. BIAS!!!
I would love to see a video of Trenton's bar/collection.
I think a friend of mine has the Derringer bottle. It hasn't been cracked open, and now I'm glad...
Well, Rabbit Hole has a Derraringer finished in Sherry Casks and it is decent. Otherwise I agree, if the marketing features cool packaging, beware.
assn- assassin? i think it means association. the 101st are definitely battle ready but i dont think they qualify as assassins. not technically
Borchetta is similar to porchetta which is an Italian pork dish also makes sense because Italy is for racing as well
82nd Airborne Division checking in. That 101st Airbone bourbon stinks!!! :P AATW!
I'd love to see if you guys can get and do a quick review of Wolcott Rickhouse Reserve 120 proof. It might honestly be my biggest nice surprise of the year. It's from 1792 lineage - the nose and taste are absolutely amazing. Anyway, love and always look forward to the show - you guys are so fun to watch and I learn a lot. Thank you!
Looks like some good infinity bottles 😂
The best Gimmick bottle of all time is the George Dickle Star Trek Bottle. . 😊
That much for three infinity bottles? Yeah no.
Great video guys - keep 'em coming and I'll keep watching them.
Seen these three bottles here in southeastern Massachusetts but at a higher price tag , how a bout the Japanese bourbon in the suit of armor you should have included that one also, at this point your just throwing money away. But thanks for the entertaining content..
Not sure if it qualifies as a "gimmick" but I really enjoy Yellowstone bourbon out of Limestone Branch. Got my hands on a store pick of the select that has a lot of depth.
I do choose that brand because of their annual donations to the National Parks Conservation Association, but I'm also happy with the product.
You're our heroes . You saved us lot of money. Thankyou
Radcliffe, Ky is near FORT KNOX.
Soon as I find one I'm buying the 101. Then I'm going to raise a glass to Kentucky's Finest, The Screaming Eagles!
What I would caution is that you determine if some significant money is going to the 101st association. It might be 5 cents/bottle. If you don't care, then fine.
A couple Indiana guys should know more about IndyCar racing. The Music City GP has been a successful event in Nashville for three years now and next year will move a bit to include running on Broadway.
Glad the gimmicky bottle wasn’t a total bust!
now you need to find a bourbon that uses a pirate sword handle for a stopper XD
Finished in Rum 😂
I've been seeing Deringer at Binny's for some time. It's a cool cork. Most expensive cool cork in the industry. $130 cork. The bourbon from what I understand isn't very good. Also I'm a former Sniper team leader from the 101'st Airborne, 3/187th Infantry Rakkasams. Desert Shield/Storm. I like to support my brothers in arms when I can. Too be honest a lot of it is overpriced scams. And this pisses me off as a Veteran.
I really like how you guys are able to help each other find the right description of what you’re sipping.
I enjoy your banter and insight. I believe ASSN, is the acronym for association, not assassin.
Extra Polar Ice is the go to gum
OMG, those bottle are outrageously absurdly ridiculous!!!!
Big Machine is in Nashville and Lynville TN mostly make vodka
Love watching you guys. Make me laugh and interesting reviews!
Was a very interesting show. That being said, i have never had good Tennessee "bourbon".
Great video as always buddies. Thank you for drinking these so we don't have too!
I guess the 101st Airbourne bottle would make a nice decanter after you get rid of the whiskey in it. For my taste, I don't care if it comes in a mason jar, as long as it is some good bourbon.....
I was hoping the 1 with the race car stopper was at least 100. So cool but not paying 300 for it❤ very cool 😊
You guys should revisit those in a few months now that they are opened. Plus you poured and tasted them quickly instead of letting them "open up". I don't know, just a thought though.
Brewzle had the pistol and the cork topper broke😕 Thanks for the info
The Derringer may be worth it for an infinity bottle. Pretty cool bottle.
I’m shocked that Trenton isn’t familiar with the music of John Mellencamp.
$300 for the last one ouch! The twisted bottle with the gun stopper was pretty cool! 👍

Because "Trent"... lol
Well, I know who jack & diane are, but Trenton is too young. I always thought the song sucked.
@@edgardner2106so does John Cougar Mellencamp
Trenton in the dog house.
Big League Chew is stil some really good bubblegum. Now I have to find some locally, darn it.
This would have been a good one for a contest. Could have put the prices on the screen and then have your viewers match them to the bottle. I would have been not gotten them right. Cool show though. And yes, thanks for biting the bullet for your viewers. Lol
For Trenton. Preconceived notions.
Put a good bourbon in a good bottle....the Willet pot still bottle looks good with water and roses
I'm new to Bourbon and had a store owner try to sell me that 101 Airborne for $150, I didn't buy it... But what he charged me for two other bottles have assured me that I won't be buying from him again. Pricing two of the bottles online he charged me almost double what I could have gotten them for online...
Have you guys ever had Middlewest Spirits Wheated Bourbon? Tastes very floral...
Start a "Shelf of Shame". Put all of the "way over priced" bottles on it, with a photo of whoever purchased it. The Apple Bourbon will have the most prominent place.
Assassin... pretty funny. Great bottles/packaging, nothing that I would see in my area, so thanks.
It’s “Preconception” Trenton
Trent’s grasp of the English language. Is entertaining
Funny bstrd
So basically. Just buy a bottle of rare breed and keep walking
Yr a team player Trenton
Isn’t Assn. an abbreviation for “associatiom”? Not assassin
American Woman has a unique bottle, tastes good - $55, cask $75. Lusty Claw has an eagles head cork, never tried it - $80
Assassin! 😂
How did Trent not recognize "little ditty, with Jack & Diane??" 😂
Olde Raleigh distillery In North Carolina
Herbally Bourbons definitely sounds like a Harry Potter character.
i bought a Rare Hare for 599, its the PlayBoy bottle only 1953 bottles
Well, if nothing else, the derringer with its iron dong stopper would make a nifty decanter for some Turkey 101!
I still say, for the money (+/- $35), Russel's Reserve 10 year is one of the best bottles on the planet.
While on the topic of unique bottles with creative stories and questionable whiskey, you guys need to review the Field of Dreams. It’s being distilled up in the Mishawaka area.
It’s a lot to pay for a decorative stopper.
THAT WOULD BE ASSOCIATION TRENT.....Not Assassin LOLOL. RADCLIFF!!! My hometown!!!
I feel the same way about Garrison Brothers Honeydew 🙂what a waste LOL
Influenced i think is the word you were looking for
Harry didn't give you a discount after sticking you with that Crown Apple 23? 😱
Predisposition is the word 😂
Bias is the word you were probably looking for 😊
Ha guys, fun show. Back in the 70s I bought a John Wayne whiskey decanter. I think it was Jim Beam. I think I paid $39.00 for it. Gave it to my dad for his birthday. About 10 yrs later we opened it up. Dang that bourbon tasted like 💩💩💩. So nothing has changed in the last 50 yrs. With cheap bourbon in a fancy bottle.
Beautiful bottles. Proves that marketing execs think they can pass off average juice at premium prices.
"Hey, that Blantons sells really well. Fancy bottle, unique stopper. How about we do a stopper shaped like a pistol... or a race car? Great idea... on to production."
Interesting option for a future blind tasting. Trenton said he would maybe pay $60-70 for these. Really? How about blind tasting vs. Russell's Single Barrel or others that are known quality for the $40-60 range. I think these three would get bounced pretty quickly.
