This might be my favorite video of all time. I would love to see you run it back with other distilleries.
For sure will in the future
Agreed absolutely loved this one.
I agree with the agreement 🤝
This! Yes!
@@apeekintime half 🤣😂. We have a couple hundred reviews and a few hundred blinds/news/tier lists/collectors corners/vlogs and about 15 other types of videos. When we launch/try out new content it makes it safer (for analytics) if we do it with Distilleries we know will do better. That just so happens to be BT products. Honestly the idea is to do this with other distilleries but launching it with BT is generally how we'll try it.
It'd be cool to have a series where you guys rank every legacy distillery's offerings then have a final blind with the winners.
@@apeekintime Seriously… everything besides Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare and Blantons I’ve never seen on a shelf anywhere
OF next.. Or just brown Forman products in general
@@apeekintime they have tons of videos on budget bottles... Budget blinds even
@@apeekintime Reviewing more exclusive bottles is nice because when you find one you know what to expect
The results. You’re welcome
10. BT
9. EHTSmB
8. OWA107
7. Blantons
6. ER
5. Stagg Jr
4. RHF
3. EHTSingle
2. WLW
1. GTS
My guy said heavy rye spice to a wheated bourbon 🤣🤣.
I loved the video thou, great job guys.
I run a Whiskey Club and we meet monthly to do double blind tastings of 4 or 5 whiskeys. It's been super fun and enlightening and one of the things I have learned to avoid is mixing proofs too much. It's really hard to taste a 125 proof whiskey before or after a 90 proof whiskey and give either a real fair shot. You guys have obviously tasted a hell of a lot more whiskey than our crew, but I think proof, more than similar flavors is the real x-factor in large blinds like this.
Spot on.
Like wine tastings to a degree. Need to keep the shot group tight.
totally agree.
Yep... I think you really need to keep the proofs within 10 or so points for a fair comparison. Every time we've had 3 things that were 100 or less and one thing that was cask strength, the cask strength gets crushed because it it fire water compared to the others. One of my favorite tastings involved 4 pours that were lower proof and available and then whichever was your favorite, you'd get a step up version that was either older/rarer or higher proof... so if you liked EC Sm Batch, you got to try EC 18 after. If you chose Bardstown Fusion, you got a Discovery, if you went Baker's 7 yr, you got Bookers and if you went Maker's, you got FAE-01. It was really fun to zero in on something you liked and then step up or over to taste something in the same product line. But a Bookers vs. EC18 taste would be terrible.
Very much so. Tastings like this are just for fun.
I remember working at a liquor store in 2016 and one of the big bourbon guys that regularly bought stuff from us got one of each bottle in the antique collection. He brought us samples from each bottle a week later and we did a blind tasting of each. I distinctly remember my friend describing it as tasting like "vanilla jet fuel" lmao. It was by far my personal favorite of the lineup
38 on blantons !!!!! Wtf wrong with yall pallet
Tasted Eagle Rare, didn't like it. Cultists love it for some unknown reason. Not a fan of Blantons either. blech water.
You guys need to leave the bottle logo or something on the screen while you're tasting it. I'm not actively watching the thing the whole time so I look up, and it's gone and you're just commenting on a mystery whiskey.
Blinds reveal all lmao. Glad you guys aren't afraid to be "wrong"
The Stagg Jr. was not batch 12. 130.2 proof was Batch 14. Batch 12 is 132.3...I think this might have been mixed up
52+75 does not equal 137, lol
Talking about E.H. Taylor Single Barrel “every time I see one of those…”. What?! I’ve seen ONE and it was, of course, behind the counter, and, OF COURSE, marked up to a RIDICULOUS price that any normal person wouldn’t touch… ugh.
Fun video to watch but for me it doesn’t matter which one is the best or worst because I can’t find any of them on the shelves anyways 😢
You can't get BT these days? Since they fired the hoarding distributor it's been readily available here
Incredible video! I had my wife do the same for me but I only had the Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare, and Blantons….. ER won… LOL
Would love to have seen Weller FP in there.
Do Wild Turkey next!!
Would be great to include the cost of each bottle to give a little more context to how good or bad the ratings for each one is...
Definitely a fun video. With your collection, you should be able to do this for quite a few distilleries. Seeing how all of the Sagamore variants do against each other would be fun to see.
Just the utter disappointment with some of these is classic. Someone may have cried alone in the shower after this video 😂
Who knew a fruit fly garnish was worth 50+ points?
"That smells like nothing". My exact problem with buffalo trace lol
Excellent Excellent vid guy's. Exactly what Everyone wanted to see. Super fun ...super content. Straight to the point. Wham bam thank you.... Thanks a bunch for posting.
if you guys could keep the bottle you are drinking on the screen longer, that would be swell.
Love how Dan said W107 was very Rye forward spice… Enjoy this type of content, keep it up!
So strange cause I don't get spice at all. I think it's so smooth.
I get that spice on most wheaters. It can also come across like light effervescence or carbonation.
blantons gold and STFB for the win!?
What? NO Benchmark Products or Ancient Age?
Curious where EHTBP would land
I've tried alot of bourbons because bourbon is the only kind of whiskey i drink and only kind of liquor i drink in general but for me the best bourbon I've ever drinked is the one i bought this past weekend and that blanton's. Damn It was smooth and delicious it was worth the price i paid which considering it's and expensive brand that was $75. Hell as a matter of fact i don't think I'll ever drink another kind of bourbon blanton's is that good. It's my favorite whiskey of them all. 🥃
Comments+1
Loved that content and appreciate how you did that blind and double blind to reduce any bias! Great format...and you did a nice job of editing what was probably an hour-long raw video. i was fortunate enough to land a 2022 GTS and at first sip it was EASILY the best whiskey I'd ever had...surpassing a tie between an older Lagavulin 12 CS and Ardbeg Dark Cove.
Much appreciated!
@@apeekintime You can still like one better.
Sorry you're unable to reconcile someone evaluating one whiskey experience over another despite them being drastically different flavors. What's the best dinner you've ever had? Was it steak, was it seafood, was it a hamburger? Those aren't the same, but if you said hamburger, I won't argue that your hamburger dinner beat out your best steak dinner. And I won't even think you're a maniac for thinking that.
Lol "Everytime I see an EH Taylor Single Barrel I am 100% in" I have see it on a shelf once and it was $239.00. I was not 100% in at that price. Same store had a stagg for $450.
you guys disagreed wildly on a few bottles (EHT small). Dan's individual ranking wouldn't have been the same.
Kinda curious why Elmer wasn't apart of this reunion 😅
Wonder how Elmer would have done
I think the stagg annihlated your tastebuds. Hard to drink right after haha
This video is a nice change of pace. You guys should do this with all major distilleries. Old carter next please. 😊
Would you do a blind of the Buffalo Trace winner next to 3 other top-shelf bourbons? I still think Buffalo trace is overrated and/or way too expensive.
Way too expensive on secondary*. Their MSRP's are some of the best.
@@red5standingby419 IF you can find them but when I have seen them they are usually double or more the MSRP. Including plain old Buffalo Trace. Blantons was $190.00. That's a big no for me as there are good bourbons out there that are sold at MSRP.
@@scurfie2343 I agree on BT but I’d pay decent money for some of the better wellers and EHT not small batch
@@Hunter-dl1gd I did like Weller Green label. $12.00 a pour at a bar in Georgia.
@@scurfie2343 I will say I hate green Weller but everyone has their own tastes. I’m in Ohio and it’s everywhere “allocated” but I like OWA 10x more
Seems like a pretty accurate ranking of them. Only surprise is OWA, but still not too shocking knowing what it's up against
Really love the vids guys, 75+52 = 127 tho not 137 on the rock hill farms, I’m that guy, pretty sure you said 137
Love it! It's like an objective based tier list. I can't wait to see you do brown Forman with the old non saz early times and watch it crush!
Only switch id make is make is the small batch EH Taylor and the eagle rare. If you get a chance the blantons straight from the barrel is excellent. May disrupt the ranking s a bit.
Why does the one guy have to have such a potty-mouth. Grow up.
Why does an adult care if someone swears... Grow up
Do all 10 Four Roses recipes!
They did this already
I've always thought standard Buff Trace is extremely overrated. Good, decent, but overrated. So I'm not too surprised by this.
You need to separate them by proof. Stagg "Jr", EHTBP, and the barrel proof BTAC all drink dramatically different. It'd be interesting to see how all the 80-100 proofers line up against each other - EHT Small Batch & Single Barrel, Weller CYPB/12-year/Special Reserve, Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare, ALL of Mash bill 2.
I agree, jumping back and forth on proof can screw with yer pallet, which they even commented going back a few after getting acclimated towards the end.
Awesome video. 👌
Next up, I recommend Jim Beam product line, including the Knob Creeks and Baker's, Booker's etc. obviously.
Six are Unicorns in Ohio... Three others are hard to find...
Buffalo Trace can get occasionally...
This wouldn't hurt so much if I hadn't just spent $48.59 on a bottle of Buffalo Trace. 🥃cheers
Wow! I have never seen Buffalo Trace for that much! It is under $30 here in Georgia.
@@Mr10usdad Yup here in upstate NY they are getting $25.99 for a 375ml bottle $28.08 after the 8% sales tax! I only spent the money because I wanted to know what it was like but will never replace it at that price and I dont see the price coming down! once it's down to a 1/3 of a bottle it's just going to be a show piece!
Should have dumped the remnants ultimate infinity pour….Thanks for confirming my Eagle Rare love
It think the only surprise was the 107 being so low, but really all of those are great bottles and its not gonna jump too much for my palate if i knew what it was. cool blind.
This video is effing awesome! You guys are getting back to basics and your individual idiosyncrasies. *Sorry Dan, big words.😅 I ❤ Junkies.
what do you have your DJI mics set at for gain? Have you noticed any bleed over being that close to each other?
@13:06 your score was wrong. Adding 75 + 52 = 127, not 137.
I always thought RHF was tater bait (read: Lee, Elmer T.) until I actually got a bottle a couple of years ago. It's quite a delicious pour. No shame at all in ranking it above Stagg Jr.
Hey wait a minute...you're not the same guys that were in the video I watched the other day...😁
Idk how but muskmelon is the most jarring note ive heard come from dans mouth
The bottom 5 makes sense to me as a whole...although i would have guessed a different order
I personally can’t stand Buffalo Trace and most every other wheater. It lacks spice and flavor, and feels flat and tasteless for me.
That hat looks like it's trying to escape from Sean's head.
I want to see the benchmark series in this too since I bet some of them beat regular BT.
Some buds and I blinded batch 15 Stagg jr against 3 different Stagg jr picks. Batch 15 was dead last for all 5 of us and 2 of us didn’t finish it. *then* our buddy revealed he had filled his batch 15 bottle with Benchmark FP. I was bummed as I was hoping for a better fight from it.
@@jaymze44 oh yeah I just blind tasted the Benchmark SiB and BT and ER. I was shocked how sweet the Benchmark SiB was and the BT had this rough oak flavor. I thought the Sib was better and it was I think 4 years younger and cheaper.
Need a bottle of Benchmark Full Proof in this lineup.
130.2, that's batch 14 of stagg jr not batch 12
Thank God
The 2022 GTS might be the greatest bourbon I've ever tasted in my life. It was transcendent. A supernova of flavor bursting in your mouth.
What do you mean it can't go into space this sounds like an excellent opportunity to do a collaboration with that Elon Musk guy they're going to want bourbon on Mars this is your chance to get in on the ground floor
The Buffalo lineup you still can’t go wrong
I’ve only had about half of those but I think it was really spot on. The rankings I mean
Next up - Old Forester!
I don't drink bourbon (yet at least), but I love your videos.
Great video. Is it just me or if you close your eyes does Daniel sound like Nicolas Cage?
I think weller and Blantons are both very overrated and this shows in blinds as well. Special Reserve is the best in the weller line, and is also the cheapest.
Please add the Bottle to the bottom of the frame for the entire conversation, would make it easier to follow these long tastings
Don’t be dumb they say 😂
Same test of all of these making old fashioned and sours ? That would be great 👍
I really enjoyed this video you all. Great job., fun to watch, funny. Do it again!!
Benchmark products and Buffalo Trace are total garbage. There's so many better, longer lasting flavored whiskies for $30. Total crap.
Could you name a couple?
Weller antique 107. Not available here in Finland. Found it in Ireland .
That's too bad. 107 doesn't even have to be your favorite. It's just everything a good bourbon should be.
Benchmark sib would be top 5
Does anything beat BTAC?
If I win, can I get it aged in a Basil Hayden dark rye barrel?
Blind tasting amateur hour right here
I dunno, not a huge Buffalo Trace juice fan personally
Great video! There are no losers in that line up! For me, Blanton's is #9 (second to last) which moves everything else up. Also Stagg Jr. ahead of EHT SIB. Don't know about #1-2, I'm sure you're right placing them there, gonna have to take your word for it. Sean, I think you might have just had an off day on the other 8.
Why I don't need to watch this video? Because I can't get one single BT product here in NC (or SC for that matter). And if I could it would be ridiculously overpriced. And when I say not one single product I mean I can't even get lowly Ancient Age anymore! With so many very delicious and reasonably priced bourbons out there I don't get the BT craze - at all.
All these things show is that taste is mostly subjective, and we taste and appreciate different things differently on different days. The top will always stand out and the bottom will always be the bottom, but the middle of the road bourbons will always be a more of “what you’re feeling” that kind of day.
100%
Do this video again and mix up a few bottles.
Great video fellas. Wild Turkey next?
Yup, I know Mash and Drum just did it but I’d like to see the Junkies do Wild Turkey as well.
You guys said Weller 107 tasted like a rye lmao your taster is off
Guys I recently just got a george t stagg in a raffle...best bourbon I've had yet
Hope you can enjoy every last drop!
Should’ve added Benchmark Full Proof in there too(Stagg Jr Jr)
Sean is never ready for the STAGG!
buffalo trace dead last? as it should be.
Excellent video fellas! Love the scoring system 🥃💪🏻
great vid. keep up the good work. looking forward to friday. good luck on matt madness.
Can't wait!
Buffalo trace has a distinctive smell
u had a thumbs up until you bottle flipped the GTS.
Chapters would be great, guys ☺
Just wish I had all of those! LOL
Eagle Rare @ $36
Didn’t know Bill Hader was so in to Bourbon
Is that missed paint spots or light pollution? Those white dots on the back wall need to go. They are too distracting, they make the wall look like it has a poor paint job.
It's fake snow left over from advent videos
