It's incredible that Trenton went from being solely behind the scenes, to partaking in the videos, to being on camera, and now shaving his head for a great cause! Love the personal growth!
The New Holland Wheat Whiskey is 75 before tax. As a quick aside, this was a 25 gallon barrel with significant angels share (roughly a 50 bottle yield). We did get a few other barrels, but demand is high within our group. If we do a general release, I will share that with the channel and we're so glad you are loving it.
Blue Note is truly the Joint. Bought a store pick @121 proof but doesn't drink hot. Shared with some friends and it was a hit. Turned around and bought two more bottles before than ran out. Can't beat this barrel proof fir $40.
Blue Note is making some fantastic bourbon. Their regular Juke Joint is a mainstay on my shelf. I’m in Ohio and have to work to get it but it’s worth it. The Uncut Unfiltered is absolutely worth tracking down.
KURT!!! TRENTON!! Great video!!! It just so happens, I bought my first Cask strength bourbon this weekend!!! I def love the high proof, and I DON"T think I'll be making cocktails with it, but we'll see!!!! CHEERS guys!!!
a few more Indiana places, Starlight puts out some amazing stuff though not too underrated at this point. and 18th street out of Hammond is doing some really good things.
We get Blue Note Uncut around here (Chattanooga TN) for $40 or less. Store picks included. Amazing flavor for the age and price. Such a steal for a daily high proofer you don't have to worry about hiding or putting up
Great video. I don't think I have seen any of these, but will look for them. One that I would include for sure is the Makers Mark Cask Strength, which is both delicious and available.
Great show guys. I know I won't find many, if any, of those bottles in my neck of the woods but it gives me some ideas for when I travel to a more metropolitan area. Nice toque Trenton.
Another vote for more New Holland! They had a Dragons Milk Origin Double Oaked that I would love to try, can't seem to find anywhere near me! Regular Dragons Milk Origin is at local Meijer stores here and there, always sold out! Can also get the Beer Barrel bourbon here and there, never the Double Oaked though! Heard it's pretty incredible!
Nice line up and call outs. Can't ever go wrong with Juke Joint, Fiddler and that Lee Sinclair. ASW out of Georgia and Spirits of French Lick in IN are two of my most underrated distilleries out there.
Thank you for the great content and "hats off" to Trenton for his commitment. I really appreciate your support of Riley Hospital, both my niece and granddaughter have had to spend time at Riley. Is there any way to add the bottle name and distillery to the video description, it would really help when shopping.
I absolutely love y’all’s video. Hamer is pronounced “Hay-mur.” It’s the family that used to own Spring Mill in Mitchell. That’s where I’m from. I love seeing fellow Indiana folks on here.
Another interesting video. The only one of those I've ever even seen is the Blue Note. Found that cask strength once as a Lukas Store pick in KC. Loved it. Hope I can find it again sometime. Recommendations like this remind me to branch out beyond my comfort zone and explore more of these craft brand offerings.
Love seeing the Hoosier whiskey companies getting some love. Cardinal Hoosier Gold is really a unique bottle - seek that one out. Old Hamer and Spirits of French LIck are also ones to watch
Great line up!! Not really underrated any more but I've been stuck with Penelope Barrel proofs and Smoke Wagon but if you really go back to the MGP source, George Remus store picks are really amazing and a bit underrated compared to all the NDPs already selling the "same" juice. Another celebrity bottle that is better at cask strength is Blackened from Metallica, high rye blend finished on Brandi casks... good stuff. On a side note, if we are able to work it out I could send your way some Still Austin cast strength or other Texas cast strength bottles, I'm am seeing them all the time now... Cheers
From New Holland you'll want to grab their Origin Bourbon. It's a sweet tasting 5yr old Bourbon in the realm of Buffalo Trace. Also if they still have it grab their walleye Rye finished in Sherry, it's amazing.
If you can aquire, Finger Lakes Distilling has some great Single Barrel Cask Strength offerings of their distillate. At 6+ years sometimes. They bottle it under "McKenzie" label I believe, ordered through Seelbach's.
Great video! Have you guys ever been to Papa Joes Payless Liquors in Richmond, IN? I stopped there when I was driving through and they had the best bourbon selection I’ve ever seen with about 10 different store picks. If not, check it out 😃
KO Distilling Bare Knuckle High Rye Bourbon Single barrel picks I have found to be very good. I believe they are out of Virginia. Aged minimum 6 years and cask strength (Mine are in the mid 120s). Last one I got was 7 1/2 yrs old. Check Seelbach's. Price around $79.99 there.
Have you tried any whiskies from Iowa or Wisconsin distilleries? I know they release some single barrels but I haven’t seen any barrel proofs. There are some decent ones out there but I feel most could spend another year or two in the barrel. 😁
Great theme for a show guys. I also love cask strength/barrel proof offerings, and it's nice to see some lesser known names. I had a friend and colleague come up to me at work last week and hand me a bottle of Blue Collar Bourbon Cask Strength as a gift. I had never seen or heard of it before, and discovered it's distilled in your neck of the woods in Indiana but blended and bottled by Working Man Distillers near to me in North Attleboro, MA. My friend's only request was that I feature it at my weekly Saturday night fire pit, which I did, and I also poured a glass of Maker's Mark Cask Strength for a comparison. The BCB is 118 proof and 59% ALC and the MM is 110.7 proof and 55.35 ALC, so it wasn't exactly apples to apples but close enough. I was pleasantly surprised that the BCB easily won out (in my opinion) in both the nose and palette and was really, really good on all levels. While I found the MM to be a bit harsh, the BCB had a predominant cherry note on the nose that translated to the palette. Just wanted to mention it after seeing this episode.
I’m glad that you are recognizing small brands. It would be really nice is to see some estate whiskey in a lineup, perhaps an episode of just estate whiskey.
Have you guys a review of “Heaven’s Door” Sing Barrel Select Cask Strength I just purchased a bottle after a tasting…4 drops of water added to a 3/4 oz “shot”? Take it easy on me, I’m only a year into this, and 124 proof is way above my normal 100 proof pay grade! Enjoyed this video a lot.
Trenton should've gotten the Chuck Liddell mohawk. Maybe next time. I'm really pumped. I can get Brother's Bond, Blue Note and Tumblin Dice in my area.
Just came back from Indianapolis area, that place needs to have its own Bourbon Trail. Stopped in at two distilleries one in Westfield, Old Hamer, and the other one in Frankfort, Moon Drops. Had a tasting at both places and the whiskey was very tasty!
I am with you on anything that is cask strength. Wife picked up Rebel "cask strength" but when she go home she grabbed the wrong one... its Distillers Collection.. 113 proof instead of 120.... still excited about it. I am weary when it comes to MGP... I like distillers doing their own thing. Cheers fellers... great vid, had not heard of any of these, except for the Kirkland.
Blue Note Juke Joint Uncut is an amazing pour, it's about $85 here. That bottle didn't last me a week and a half. Probably a top 3 that I've had this year. Sadly, I can't find it locally anymore.
I thought it was really cool that all of the bottles I expected you to mention, you didn't! a little heavy on the MGP, but great list! that last one new Holland sounds fantastic, I'm gonna keep my eye out for that one, happy Thanksgiving
The 70/21/9 is Green River Distilling's mash bill. Apparently MGP did some contract distilling for them before they got their distillery up and running. (unconfirmed, but only thing that makes sense) I've tried a bunch of C&C stuff (they're physically close to me) and they've been great. They've been doing some fun stuff with my main liquor store.
I really like what is coming from BR distilling. That's the blue note and riverset rye I sent you. I have 3 different picks of the juke joint uncut and they're all subtly different. I'll probably be picking another one up here shortly. I've paid $40-$55 for each of those.
I'd love to see some reviews of New Holland. They are big in the craft beer world and were one of the big names before craft beer blew up. They seem to be really stepping up their distillery offering. Really want to get my hands on their origin toasted barrel.
Great show of whiskies I will never try...You folks in the USA are getting run over with options...I bought 8 bottles of incredible scotch a few days ago and missed the head shave..I knew that night you would surpass your goal and Trenton's hair was hittin the floor...He looks like one of my buddies headed off to Nam when I was 16.... What a great show and learning experience...You sure have come a long way since I watched you make cocktails. Trenton on camera was such a positive move. ...Your brother is a heck of a guy as well when he joins in. Congrats on the charity donation... Happy Thanksgiving to all in USA...
If you do another video like this try Iron Smoke Distillery Casket Strength 120 proof. They apple wood smoke the grains before milling, some pretty cool stuff
The bald look does not suit Trenton but you also do not need the beanie. It is not that bad. Love this list too. Wish I could get a bootle of the New Holland store pick. Love the Family Guy reference. Hahahaha
Loving all of these videos. I’m a relatively new subscriber who just got into the bourbon world as of recent. Great content every episode. Much love from a fellow Hoosier 💜
ASW is so good. Love that you included them in your list. They have several good choices but that Heartwood is their best. I thought it tasted like a how a log cabin smells. Also, the shaved head is a good look. Happy Thanksgiving!
Nice lineup of bottles on this video. I don't believe I have seen any of these in Ohio but will keep an eye out when I venture down to Kentucky. Definitely do love the barrel strength bourbons. One more point. Trent, the haircut is actually not a bad look, and without the mop of hair on top, the moustache and chin whiskers actually show up today. You're rockin' it, dude!
If you're ever in Oregon, there is some Tumblin' Dice around, really good. They range from 4-8 year I believe, so look for the more aged bottles. I got a 6 year. The dice tells you what year it is.
I second that on the Origin Bourbon. Very good! I’m about 20 minutes from them. And they just released a toasted barrel version this past weekend. Picked up a couple bottles. -Mark
It's incredible that Trenton went from being solely behind the scenes, to partaking in the videos, to being on camera, and now shaving his head for a great cause! Love the personal growth!
I think he was a great addition to the show.

I've been shaving my head with a razor for 25+ years...that stocking hat just rides right up on a freshly shorn dome!
Blue Note is making some fantastic bourbon. Their regular Juke Joint is a mainstay on my shelf. I’m in Ohio and have to work to get it but it’s worth it. The Uncut Unfiltered is absolutely worth tracking down.
One of my favorite local stores just put out a 7yr Tumblin' Dice pick, and it is phenomenal.
KURT!!! TRENTON!! Great video!!! It just so happens, I bought my first Cask strength bourbon this weekend!!! I def love the high proof, and I DON"T think I'll be making cocktails with it, but we'll see!!!! CHEERS guys!!!
The ASW Georgia Heartwood is fantastic. I discovered that 1 cube of ice really opens it up.
a few more Indiana places, Starlight puts out some amazing stuff though not too underrated at this point. and 18th street out of Hammond is doing some really good things.
We get Blue Note Uncut around here (Chattanooga TN) for $40 or less. Store picks included. Amazing flavor for the age and price. Such a steal for a daily high proofer you don't have to worry about hiding or putting up
I. Can. Not. Wait. For that Blue Note pick. You talk nuance per price, there is nothing that can touch it.
Fiddler and juke joint are both hitters!
Great video. I don't think I have seen any of these, but will look for them. One that I would include for sure is the Makers Mark Cask Strength, which is both delicious and available.
Great show guys. I know I won't find many, if any, of those bottles in my neck of the woods but it gives me some ideas for when I travel to a more metropolitan area. Nice toque Trenton.

Great list. Of course, I've only seen about 4 of those bottles in my area, but that Copper & Cask and Blue Note are both great!
Thank you for the great content and "hats off" to Trenton for his commitment. I really appreciate your support of Riley Hospital, both my niece and granddaughter have had to spend time at Riley.
Is there any way to add the bottle name and distillery to the video description, it would really help when shopping.
cask strength spirit of french lick store picks are wonderful. I have about 6 of them now all different but good.
From what I have heard is Blue Note is sourcing from Green River. Also the brothers bond is also a four grain mashbill
I bought the Blue Note Uncut and I was highly impressed! Doesn't drink like a 117 proof, and for $45 it's a steal in my book.
Sounds good! We are actually in Memphis now heading to Blue note for a barrel pick!
I absolutely love y’all’s video. Hamer is pronounced “Hay-mur.” It’s the family that used to own Spring Mill in Mitchell. That’s where I’m from. I love seeing fellow Indiana folks on here.
Thanks for the correction! I always want to get it right.
Trenton really pulls off the "I lift weights in the prison yard" look.
Another interesting video. The only one of those I've ever even seen is the Blue Note. Found that cask strength once as a Lukas Store pick in KC. Loved it. Hope I can find it again sometime. Recommendations like this remind me to branch out beyond my comfort zone and explore more of these craft brand offerings.
Picked up an Old Hamer cask strength as mentioned for $31. Score! A strong recommendation that I'm glad I watched before shopping 😁
Love seeing the Hoosier whiskey companies getting some love. Cardinal Hoosier Gold is really a unique bottle - seek that one out. Old Hamer and Spirits of French LIck are also ones to watch

I got a 6 year Tumblin' Dice SB store pick 118 proof, really good.

Fiddler! Love ASW!
The haircut looks good bro!
Haven't heard of over half of these. Great video!
I´m mostly a Scotch fan but I love your channel to learn about new stuff.

Great video!!!, thanks for NOT promoting Buffalo Trace products 😁
Have you tried any whiskies from Iowa or Wisconsin distilleries? I know they release some single barrels but I haven’t seen any barrel proofs. There are some decent ones out there but I feel most could spend another year or two in the barrel. 😁
I think the Cedar Ridge lineup of whiskies is superb. They are located just outside of Swisher, IA.
Great theme for a show guys. I also love cask strength/barrel proof offerings, and it's nice to see some lesser known names.

Love New Holland's Dragon's Milk. Best BB Stout for the money.
Embrace the bald Trenton. I shave my head and love it!
Best intro so far!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😂😂😂
Bald Trenty!
It was for a great cause though!
Just came back from Indianapolis area, that place needs to have its own Bourbon Trail. Stopped in at two distilleries one in Westfield, Old Hamer, and the other one in Frankfort, Moon Drops. Had a tasting at both places and the whiskey was very tasty!

I've tried a bunch of C&C stuff (they're physically close to me) and they've been great. They've been doing some fun stuff with my main liquor store.
I missed it! Trent, you actually look pretty good with no hair. And good for you for keeping your word!!!
I really like what is coming from BR distilling. That's the blue note and riverset rye I sent you. I have 3 different picks of the juke joint uncut and they're all subtly different. I'll probably be picking another one up here shortly. I've paid $40-$55 for each of those.

I got Bulleit cask strength for 52 dollars. It doesn't get very much love. I've seen very little about it among whisky tubers.
It is pretty darn good. We included it on one video but well deserving.
There's a lot in that line up I haven't had, nor see up here in Maryland. Will keep my eyes open for these while traveling. Good List!
Great show of whiskies I will never try...You folks in the USA are getting run over with options...I bought 8 bottles of incredible scotch a few days ago and missed the head shave..I knew that night you would surpass your goal and Trenton's hair was hittin the floor...He looks like one of my buddies headed off to Nam when I was 16....

Trenton on camera was such a positive move. ...Your brother is a heck of a guy as well when he joins in.
Congrats on the charity donation...
Happy Thanksgiving to all in USA...
Thanks Jeff! Appreciate your friendship!
I would add Chattanooga Whiskey’s 111 Cask. It is a great underrated whiskey.
All Blue Note varieties are fantastic. Memphis Tennessee is starting to produce quality bourbons!
Please look into New Holland “Origin” bourbon. Holy crap it’s SO GOOD. Just got the toasted barrel and can’t wait to crack it
Nice haircut Trenton!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 And I love your guys' shows!
It’s nice chunk of money and good work on your part. Great work guys
I have three of these, very good. Most of the others aren’t available here, but I will certainly keep my eyes open for more.
The buzz cut looks good! 🍺🍻
Trent is a slave to the CORN.
i gotta bottle of that Kirkland single barrel in Wisconsin for like $23 hahaha so good.
My wife looks for Kirkland whisky at COSTCO every time she goes. Yesterday all they had was a scotch in The Valley of The Sun.
If you do another video like this try Iron Smoke Distillery Casket Strength 120 proof. They apple wood smoke the grains before milling, some pretty cool stuff
Try Luca Mariano signature series
Trent no matter what I'm proud of you for being a man of your word- and for a great cause!!
That Blue Note is Killer. I own 3 store picks and they are all amazing.
Good choice Trenton a carhart sock cap i own 2 of them
The bald look does not suit Trenton but you also do not need the beanie. It is not that bad.
Love this list too. Wish I could get a bootle of the New Holland store pick. Love the Family Guy reference. Hahahaha
Nice lineup. I'd buy the New Holland Wheat Whiskey in a heartbeat if I could get it. Unfortunately, I'm about 420 miles away. 🙁
My local Trader Joe's finally got the Barton sourced Barrel Entry Proof bottling (in Rock Hill Farms bottle) not bad for $30 for 125 proof bourbon.
I love the Kirkland Single Barrel for the money. It's my daily fallback sipper.
Another great video guys. Cheers
I only recognize a couple, but will be on the lookout. Always learn a ton from you, thanks 👍🥃🇺🇸
Hi guys!
Does the fiddler cask with the staves , taste similar to the makers 46 cask? Since they're both wheated with oak staves
Thanks gentlemen. Fantastic video as usual.
Don't feel bad gents. Had brother's bond (standard issue). It was pretty terrible.
Blue Note is amazing
Loving all of these videos. I’m a relatively new subscriber who just got into the bourbon world as of recent. Great content every episode. Much love from a fellow Hoosier 💜
Maker's Mark Cask strength - is there a batch number that you prefer over another? I have noticed batch 2 & 7 in my neck of the woods.
Great video! Would love to know where you scored that Lee W Sinclair from. I love the bib offering.
I haven't gone through all of your videos yet. But, seeing how y'all are in Indiana have you gone through anything from Starlight out of Borden, IN?
We haven’t yet but need to!
Trenton, you’ve received a lot of stick but I have to admit, I like the shaved look. Makes me want to do it, too.
ASW is so good. Love that you included them in your list. They have several good choices but that Heartwood is their best. I thought it tasted like a how a log cabin smells. Also, the shaved head is a good look. Happy Thanksgiving!
Nice lineup of bottles on this video. I don't believe I have seen any of these in Ohio but will keep an eye out when I venture down to Kentucky. Definitely do love the barrel strength bourbons.

Thank you!
Trenton looks like Radar from Mash!😂
No braver can a soul be than to become follicle-ly challenged to benefit the kids. Great work Trent.
Garibaldi!
Tumblin Dice is the only one of those I've seen before. Don't think any of the others sell in the Texas market.
I got the Blue Note for 39 bucks its great especially at that price
Nice!
Nice video, other than the Kirkland bottle I have not seen any of those bottles here in WA state.
If you're ever in Oregon, there is some Tumblin' Dice around, really good. They range from 4-8 year I believe, so look for the more aged bottles. I got a 6 year. The dice tells you what year it is.
Not sure if you guys see it or not but Driftless Glen from Baraboo WI has a good one 125 proof but was a store pick
New Holland’s bourbon barrel beers (Dragon’s Milk) is great!
I would like to put in my vote for George Remus.
Brothers bond was so bad that I couldn’t give away. One of few I’ve ever poured down the drain
If you're looking to get into New Holland's bottles their "Origin" bourbon is really tasty
I second that on the Origin Bourbon. Very good! I’m about 20 minutes from them. And they just released a toasted barrel version this past weekend. Picked up a couple bottles. -Mark
