That head shake and Kurt saying "Bro, you need to sit down" was awesome!

[@bradleyhoey5684]

Happy Birthday, Kurt! Welcome to 60! OF family are among my favs. Love this channel!

[@berkaberk]

Surprised 1920 didn't make an appearance here.

[@tombryan1]

Proof didn't lineup with the rest

[@FliesGoodbyes]

​@@tombryan1its 115. Close enough imo. To be completely honest though, I was looking for 1924 vs 1920. 😂

[@dansmallwood2409]

Happy Birthday Kurt! I love 1910 also! No shame there, it's an outstanding bottle!

[@shmuckling]

Trent picking the 1910 last had me gasping for air. I know it's one of his favorites, and it's on many people's favorites lists, and mine too. It's ok, some days some stuff just tastes way different than usual.

[@charlesbowdoin1780]

I think Trenton drank a glass of vinegar before the video. They’ve blinded these bottles several times and everything he said today was opposite of what he’s said in the past😂

[@toddwoodall5989]

I think Trenton just had voluptuous melons on his mind.

[@charliefrago1380]

1910 one of my favorites

[@shaneelliott1263]

You guys are becoming my go to for bourbon. Trenton is pretty good at this blind thing. Definitely entertaining between the two of you! Keep em coming!

[@hollyjhj3732]

Verrrry interesting! I'm definitely excited to try the 1924. And I very much appreciate Trenton's level of biblical knowledge. 😃

[@camdenhochgesang6554]

1910 is absolutely delicious. So good I don’t mind the lower proof. Also love coopers craft. Drinks like a double oaked product. Early Times isn’t my thing.

[@thebrianfoster]

I cannot tell you how much I love this channel! You guys have amazing chemistry on camera. I learn so much and enjoy every video.

[@Abby_Normal_1969]

How fun. Haven't seen the 1924 yet. Love 1910. In fact, I am a big fan of the Early Times and the Coopers 100. Early happy birthday Kurt.

[@RJR2222]

I truly believe that when you blind similar whiskey the outcome will/can change. I blinded all my 100 proofers twice now and the winner of the first time didn’t make final four the last time I did it. I think it’s a good exercise to see how my palate has changed

[@TBrizzle]

Moses parted the sea on his ark thank you for this sermon Trent.

[@willwood7656]

Let’s go!!!! Ready for the new 1920 bottle to pull thru! I know it was always a good one but I know yalls last bottle has been struggling!

[@hockeyhalod]

1897 is such a good daily pour for me. Glad it held up pretty well.

[@hockeyhalod]

I will say, when I have a pour while hungry, everything changes.

[@aarontagerson8598]

Happy Birthday Kurt,,, and we now know who slept in on Sunday Morning!!😂😂🥃🥃

[@davetbrunner]

Let's just all have a toast to a happy birthday and to Old Forester always putting out good whiskey 😎

[@jasonburrows5840]

1910 is an amazing bottle and this shows how good old forrester products are!

[@Mhum93]

Agreed! It goes to show how your palate changes from day to day. All great bottles! Not always a definitive placement of what’s “better” than the other.

[@Robert.Sheard]

Kurt, welcome to the 60 club! Happy Birthday 🎉🥃

[@ericknight9502]

Mellon's on the mind...me too, Trenton, me too.

[@njones427]

Yep....

[@mikepetrella4009]

Awesome video boys! Kurt was clearly the sane one here today….1910 is just an amazing bottle of whiskey! I would love to see a NEW bottle of 1920 in a future blind since that old one of yours has been getting smoked recently. See you guys tonight for the livestream! Cheers!

[@Miller_man]

I’m a little upset! Haha I figured coopers craft 100 would be the sleeper to be in the running. I love that bottle and it beats a lot of more expensive bottles for me! Great video

[@Ky_Tom_1056]

So glad your wife had you correct the bottle line up. That was driving me nuts. 1910 to me is a touch more interesting than my favorite pour, which is the WR double oaked. Great blind guys, thanks for doing it.

[@b.knight96]

seriously nuts ... thank you for the fix

[@_riverlyfe_177]

Thank yall for always being honest. Not following the hype, and sticking with what actually tastes best to yall. 👏 👏 👏

[@lnomolas3427]

Don't sweat it, I have a few years on you. Just stay active, keep doing what you like and don't give in or give up.

[@DemonbreedGaming]

im not surprised 1910 came in first for kurt. its an amazing bottle.

[@matthewhenry6276]

I have started to do the same thing Trenton said about picking up notes on the nose. I smell all sorts of stuff differently and more intentionally now than before I started my bourbon journey. It may bring some whack nose notes sometimes but it has helped me a lot trying new stuff picking up notes.

[@thomasmx1]

Not surprised 1910 might be my favorite from old forester

[@miraclemartinez6782]

Happy Birthday Kurt 🎂 🥳

[@frankscalise1297]

I really think the WR Double Oaked beats the 1910. Would love to see those go head to head.

[@tylerschritz1843]

Pretty sure they did this exact video (with a couple others), and the WR did win.

[@jmsparger4339]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KURT!! And congratulations on what from this side appears to be a great life well lived and surrounded with those that truly love you.

[@connorroman5899]

Happy Birthday, Kurt! Today is also my birthday! Hope you have a fantastic day/night with your friends and family!

[@piperjon]

Happy Birthday, Kurt. 🎂

[@tobyhayes611]

For the money, I'm all about Old Forester 1897 Bottled in Bond, Early Times BIB and Coopers Craft 100. Nice review and Happy Birthday Kurt!

[@genov9374]

I agree with you that OF1910 is a little too drying on the aftertaste, but it's nose is so NICE!. That's why I normally mix in some OF 1920 to brighten it. It might now have been so drying had it been first instead of last. Nice review. I was wondering about Coopers, but now I don't have to purchase one.

[@waynekelly1419]

HBD Kurt 🎉🎂!!! The videos are always awesome!

[@robertd2883]

1924 is delicious. One of my favorites out there. Wish I could get more so I dont have to baby it.

[@bumpandrun]

Trenton is literally describing 1910 with what many others have said about 1924. I think the glasses may have been mixed up.

[@ikiruyamamoto1050]

Fun blind per usual. BUT, I'm a little shocked you didn't include the relatively well regarded "1915" blend to throw a curveball in there (like you often do with "Poor Man's Pappy").

[@garondugas5853]

Trenton, Dang man! Now in your defense Moses did have the ark of the covenant but yeah my friend open up a Bible brother. 😂

[@ooooothegreat]

Lmao!

[@davidatac9738]

I have to choose from : weller FP, Jack 12 or 1924 today. What are you grabbing?

[@jordan4328]

Jd12 all day

[@rustbucket9318]

Makes me want a 1924 even more now. Like hen's teeth here in central Texas right now though.

[@Frank-uf2vn]

Happy Birthday Kurt 🎂 I would have rather seen the Old Forester 100 proof signature series rather than the Early times going head-to-head with the 1897 because of the unbelievable difference in price and both @ 100 proof. all my local liquor stores are out of the 1924 but also at 100 proof and upwards of $115 (much higher online) a bottle I would go with the Old Forester Redstone Barrel Proof Single Barrel @ 130-135 proof at $84 all day every day. Great review as usual guys and Cheers! 🥃

[@DaleKirkland]

Suggestion for Next OF blind: include bday bourbon, single barrel, 1924, 1910 and 1920. I sampled both bday and 1924 side by side and preferred 1924

[@JackRyan-dj9nm]

Really enjoyed the video. New Bourbon drinker love the education I get from you guys. I most enjoy my Bourbon on ice with a little simple syrup. I always try it neat first but rarely one up with the flavors you guys do. I will keep trying.

[@JordanG_3031]

[@thebrianfoster]

You missed the predictable "Trenton burps" at 12:31 😂

[@JordanG_3031]

Agh! Good catch 🤮

[@curanderoverde]

I think Old Forester 100 is absolutely crushable and not expensive

[@LP23D6]

I wouldn't mind a few more OF's in my collection . I have the shelf 100, a 1920, and 3 barrel picks. I like the picks the best and all 3 are different with the 1920 following a close second to those 3. Great blind guys.

[@neilpowell1641]

Blinds will always throw you unless the pours are significantly different in character and flavor. Always happens. 1910 is great, not sure why anyone would feel bad for picking that! I'm curious if knowing the price of the bottles (price considered) would change the overall placement?

[@rolyat]

7:45 absolutely killed me. Great video

[@rustyharvey4557]

🤣🤣🤣 Yall are too much!!! 1st and 2nd reactions were awesome!

[@ThulrVOdinsson]

I'm really conflicted about having missed the 1924 at SRP! I can find it for about $250 at best, and I just can't justify it. I would really like to see a blind and/or just a comparison between the Old Forester 1897 and the Old Forester (Signature) 100 Proof, since they're both Old Forester 100 proofs, it would be interesting to hear your take on how they line up with one another.

[@montysouthern4507]

You guys have done knob creek blind before. Would love to see a “re-blind”. Also the Russell’s lineup with rare breed mixed in. I’ve had all but the 13 and single Rick house and enjoy them all. Keep up the great work!

[@earnhardtjd]

You guys got me hooked on finding early times bib finally I pulled the trigger and bought one online it's not here yet but am excited to try it

[@apollyon7573]

For some of us noobs that cant remember the proof you could add that to the overlay. Good job guys!

[@slbdrinks]

For sure buddy, sorry about that! Next one will have the proof :)

[@djsugarc1075]

All Bottled in Bond whiskeys are 100 proof

[@johng5710]

@@djsugarc1075 1910 isn't bottled in bond

[@mistermom310]

Very interesting video. I've got Early Times on my to try list and now I'm adding an OF 1910. I have and love Coopers Craft 100. 😋🥃

[@kevinfoster2246]

Happy Birthday!! where is the new bottle of 1920?

[@DxKShifty]

"Cantaloupe always smell like they're going to go rotten, it reminds me of that profile, i do like it." lol

[@thedukeofrawsome7283]

Happy Birthday Kurt!!🎉🎉🎉 If I may suggest (and if you have done this please ignore) blue top early times vs black top early times. It's making quite the stir in the whiskeytube world

[@lfd_eng9219]

Happy Kurt Day!!! Celebrate the whole year!!!

[@scoobtoober2975]

Thanks you for this. I hate hype when it's confounded with a huge price. But a fair price bring it on. I have an idea what to get next at retail price. Just got some mm regular to start down that brands path tonight. I did not like OF orange label at all. I'll try the 1910 for sure. It's sitting on most if not all shelfs.

[@BrothersBarrel]

We are hoping to find a bottle of 1924. Sounds like it’s a good bottle! And Alternative for Birthday Bourbon. Thanks for the blind guys!

[@rtrascal3431]

Enjoy the video as always. I wish you would have included the 1920 as it has been winning many of our blind tasting competitions at home. Also Trent it's "voluptuous" not "volumptuous". ;-)

[@DemonbreedGaming]

that 1924 bottle balance is killing me

[@TheMarcopix]

I was in Gardiner Mt years ago for an extended period and had access to hard-to-find bottles at the state run store. I made a booze trip and had been drinking Cooper's Craft and had access to ECBP, Eagle Rare, JD barrel proof...lots of stuff that was hard to find elsewhere...and I ended up just rebuying the Cooper's Craft. It was around $27-ish and was so enjoyable, to me, as a sipper it just didn't make sense to buy anything else. They also had an Old Rip 10 for about $200 which I passed on too. Not a fan of ET but everything else is solid for me

[@Bushy556]

Just had Rip 10 last night for the first time. Pretty disappointed. I had Weller 12 with it and preferred that.

[@williamcornelison4721]

Happy Birthday Kurt. Sooooo looking forward to tonight.

[@scottreynolds]

It would have stuck out because of the proof, but the 1920 (my personal favorite of the Whisky Row series) would have been an interesting bottle to put up against the 1910 and 1924.

[@BlankenshiptheDevil]

Cooper’s Craft supposedly is a blend of the standard Old Forester mashbill and the KoK/Brown Foreman Early Times/1924 mashbill.

[@charlesbowdoin1780]

Happy Birthday Kurt! Sometimes just shut it down before running into the ditch Trenton!

[@spencerjcolling]

I already have OF 1910 on my list to buy for February! Cool!

[@Dtotheyeah]

Great video- always enjoy watching- have to give you all a big thumbs up on the new lights sound and lens set up. You videos are now cinema quality 👍

[@touring3d]

Old Forester is very underrated

[@Orpheus159]

Really love a side by side comparison with 1920.

[@brucebelitz3451]

Waiting to try the 1924, we have yet to see it in East Tennessee. I'm excited to try it!

[@ttiger9780]

Can't have a "Best of Old Forester" without 1920 or Signature.

[@karl0318]

Haven't seen it yet here in San Antonio, but will be looking for it tomorrow! See see ya'll on the Live!

[@jcarry5214]

Why no 1920? Did I miss the explanation? It's amazing.

[@coreywigal5435]

Best part of this channel is just watching Trent eat crow during blinds. Should have put Rare Breed in here just for fun to watch him pick that too 😂

[@bmc2567]

I was surprised honestly based on the previous review. I’ve yet to cross paths with it here in NC.

[@vrudy6]

I just love your blinds. Keep’em coming!

[@johngirlando]

I do like the 1910. I have noticed that as the bottle wears down, the taste gets more oakie and tannic, so I understand Trent’s take.

[@joespinelli48]

❤should’ve done a birthday bourbon instead of one of the cheaper ones. Would’ve been interesting.

[@jondilly1974]

HBD Kurt!🎉

[@curtelverd4008]

I was hoping the 1920 was going to be in this blind!

[@tomn4993]

Wouldn't mind an OF only lineup. 100, 1897, 1910, 1920, 1924, birthday?

[@stewlowry5167]

Would love to see you guys run this again, but with a Black Top ET BiB.

[@chrisbfd]

Get that man some chilli.

[@Chalky52]

Good morning 🙏 🌄 ☺️

[@markcalhoun8219]

Wondering exactly how available 1924 will be, looks like total wine in MN got it in at 3 stores yesterday and sold out yesterday. If this is an annual release where it's available for 5 minutes a year... I'm just going to pretend it doesn't exist.

[@Aj9Livess]

some real SLB classics with this one LOL

[@EdwardErfurt]

It would be fun to see a blind of past winners. Best of the best challenge!

[@chrisbowers3275]

Thats good because I just picked up my first 1910

[@djd2819]

Was Moses on the Ark? Love it.

[@Snipes123xxx]

Not sure if this has been done in the past, but ya'll should do an affordable high proof blind. Something like: OF 1920 (buy a new bottle), Rare Breed, 1792 FP, OGD 114, Maker's Cask Strenght, JDSBBP (or rye), and Benchmark FP.

[@spitefulbumm]

I also need some Chicken chili. Thanks for leaving that in.

[@garycramer7866]

I’m with you 1910 is my all time favorite then 1920 followed by Wild Turkey Rare Breed

[@codymills1842]

Happy Birthday Kurt!

[@bekind1784]

Trent's taste buds are off if OF 1910 is last...crazy. I actually align closer to Kurt based on my preferences for these 5 tastings. I would have 1910 and 1924 as first or second based on my past tastings.

[@clmartin22]

I actually drink Coopers Craft as a warm up all the time. Very good for $30

[@MrTonicAmps]

Happy Birthday Kurt!! Will you be doing a Birthday Bourbon blind on your special day? Would make a cool video.
