The Most Interesting Whiskey In The World

[@slbdrinks]

The last channel I mentioned should have been, The Bourbon Pour. Sorry Jordan for the mistake. 🤦‍♂️

[@TheBourbonPourShow]

Oh gosh, don’t worry about that!! Thanks again for including us!

[@TheBourbonPourShow]

Thanks for the challenge, Kurt! Jordan and Brian will be doing this challenge and have our episode up soon! Cheers! 🥃

[@TheBourbonVan]

Called out by Kurt! This is surreal. We're still dreaming about that breakfast in Scottsdale. We'll get to work on this challenge!

[@BourbonDrop]

Thanks for the challenge and shout-out, Kurt! I truly feel honored! I will get right on it. Trent, hope you feel better soon! 🥃

[@gmscott9319]

I love watching Myron from Bourbon Drop! (And you guys, too. Obviously)

[@mikehaluska9451]

Just had the fortune of experiencing Kansas City Whiskey today at J. Rieger Distillery. The addition of oloroso sherry really creates a wonderful sipper.

[@N_DeP]

I’m so glad you mentioned Dark Arts! I picked one up in KY and can’t put it down!

[@pipstrem5401]

I know it‘s a lot of work - but could you either post the complete list of bottles in the description or show it at the end of the video? I‘m not a native speaker and I often see the shown/talked about bottles for the first time and have problems understanding the names of the bottles. Love you 😍

[@Kaaron81]

New subscriber and also just started my bourbon journey in February. Love the videos! Have learned a lot from you both!

[@BourbonJudge]

Great job Kurt! Love the selections buddy. Challenge accepted 😂🥃

[@Walking959]

My problem with ASW is that the bottles are too tall for my cabinet. I might have to work around that if I find a Fiddler pick

[@warrenpaul8953]

I still think a blind tasting of the same whiskey that’s been fresh cracked, open for a week, open for 6 months and opened for a year would be really, really interesting.

[@toymachine2328]

Get a case and open one every six months

[@mattschmitt9924]

I recently did similar to this at my house. I used regular larceny. I thought I knew the results going in, but was shocked how similar they were. I had a fresh bottle, one that had been open for about a month and had 2/3 left and a 4 or so month bottle with a single pour in the bottom. The fresh crack had a noticable difference to me, not as much as I expected, but the others were exactly the same according to my amateur pallette. I would also like to see SLB take on the task.

[@bobbyoakes2378]

@@mattschmitt9924i do not care how long it has been opened larceny would taste like battery acid to me, it is the only brand i do not like thus far. I have tried more than once same thing. What i find very strange is that the c923 was drinkable at least but the 92 proof was pure rot gut on my palate. OGD 114 great, rare breed great, four roses great. Higher or lower proof does not matter larceny is just not for my palate. Nothing against it for others because each person is different, but not for me.

[@mattschmitt9924]

@@bobbyoakes2378 I'm newer in my journey, but I do like Wheated bourbons so far. I don't really have many strong opinions yet.

[@bobbyoakes2378]

@@mattschmitt9924 i like wheated as well which is why larceny was a disappointment. It comes down to personal palate. I like most by makers, and others. You might also like ones that i do not. My journey is only about 2 months old. I have just been lucky enough to try a few. Don’t be put off by bottom shelf. Technically JTS brown and ogd are bottom shelf but i think they are fantastic

[@neilpowell1641]

Thanks, Kurt. Great video and commentary about each bottle!

[@WhiskyForBeginners]

I'm sorry to hear you're sick, Trenton. I hope you get better soon. That's how I would define an interesting whisky. I don't know that I'll be able to name five, but I can mention some. Balcones Texas Pot Still Bourbon Balcones Lineage Texas Single Malt Laphroaig 10 Knob Creek Single Barrel Select, Kelly Liquors store pick Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Barrel Proof

[@starhustler]

Hi SLB, By far one of my favorite episodes. Please consider doing a favorite Spring Bottle for Spring. Cheers.

[@nickp5511]

Nice show! I really love the Madeira finished bottles! Interesting pours of mine would be Jack Daniels Heritage Rye, Art of the Spirit Madeira Rye, Seagrass, Russell’s Rickhouse, Old Louisville Madeira finished, Doc Swinson Pineau finished. Cheers! Get well:)

[@jondilly1974]

Good morning Kurt. Get well Trent.

[@Legendary9612]

Your take on what makes whiskey/bourbon interesting is exactly how I explain what makes different cigars interesting . And, when you get the perfect pairing…my goodness bliss.

[@GopherM]

I live in Georgia and we are lucky enough that our local liquor store has it in stock. I bought some today and WoW. At just over 58% ABV, the first few sips will get your attention, but it certainly has a rich full flavor and feel in the mouth. The finish seems to go on forever.

[@jthenry8]

I absolutely agree that the JD single barrel barrel proof Rye was one of the best whiskeys I tried in early 2024.

[@RockulaRandy]

Shout out to Myron and Bourbon Drop! Found him early on in his channel. Honest and straight forward. 👍👍

[@forallyall6143]

very nice , enjoying , I have only been on the Bourbon over a year now, how long do your bourbons maintain the flovors once bottle is open , (shelf life?) notice you like many others have a nice climate controlled room, but lots of open bottles

[@laurierose970]

That JD SBBP Rye is Da Bomb. Look for bottles over 130 proof. I just stopped in and "surprise" bought another one on the shelf for $64.99. Incredible pour. Don't sleep on the JD single barrel Rye.Its a BARGIN !!. P.S. the Old Overholt 114 is very very good Rye! Almost as good as the JD for only $30..Ssshh don't tell!.

[@RishBhav22]

I'd have to say the most interesting whiskeys in my collection at the moment are releases from Good Times. Their barrel finishing is incredible and often produces unreal flavors while still letting the bourbon shine through. It's some pretty incredible juice.

[@sylvainlanglois3889]

That Glenallachie whiskey bottle is the one that made me start loving scotch a couple of years ago. It is sooo good. Top 3 on my list.

[@enotrilogy]

Love both of the Binnys Glenallachie pks! Looking forward to their new peated versions.

[@ericamiles2641]

We had a GlenAllachie single cask and it was phenomenal! Cheers

[@hanqb10]

Gotta nominate any Springbank Local Barley as one of the most interesting whiskies you can buy. Barley grown near the distillery, then malted, distilled, bottled all on site with Springbank’s old school methods. Cask strength, non-chill filtered, natural color, and delicious. Hard to find, expensive on secondary, but undoubtably one of the most interesting bottles you could own and drink.

[@djbeacon6895]

Great choice. Loving the Dec 2021 10 year and the oily lemon note. Beautiful stuff.

[@pizzawarlord9232]

Feel better Trent. Solid bottles there. Really like the Glenallachie and the Seagrass (the Grey Label Seagrass is fantastic )

[@WhiskyWars]

Thanks for the Barrel Seagrass recommendation, I’ve never heard of it before but I’m intrigued and get well soon Trent, wishing you a speedy recovery

[@mattschmitt9924]

I recently tried the Barrel - Dovetail. Really good. A very interesting pour.

[@WhiskyWars]

@@mattschmitt9924 just looked that one up too, you’re right, that sounds great too. I’m definitely going to look into these, cheers!

[@mattschmitt9924]

@@WhiskyWars Cheers to you as well, friend!

[@rogerreese7624]

@WhiskyWars Barrell has some phenomenal blends and Seagrass is definitely at the top. Vantage and Armida are two others that are worth a try. Cheers!

[@WhiskyWars]

@@rogerreese7624 thanks guys!

[@csamons0935]

Dark Arts has some AMAZING single malt in barrels right now. You should go down there and do a barrel pick. I would definitely be in.

[@matthewhall8790]

You are not kidding about that JD 2020 Rye, that is the best I've ever had from anyone!

[@nateduncan9182]

Good seeing you in AZ a few days back. It was a pleasure meeting you and your wife.

[@OldFashionedWays]

wow great challenge and some great bottles. With so much out there this is a hard challenge but fun. cheers

[@kay_jay_em]

The new Offerman Edition Lagavulin 11 (finished in rum casks) is the definition of interesting.

[@lfd_eng9219]

Being newer to the collecting, the one that most people ask about is my Jameson Crested (finished in Oloroso Sherry barrels)...similar in taste to Glendalough Double Barrel, but a bit more viscus. Picked it up in Ireland two years ago...smooth and sweet. Heading back there this year...will grab a couple more.

[@robertshay9235]

I was just drinking some Seagrass last night. It’s like a cocktail in a glass. It’s a perfect warm weather pour. Cheers

[@justinmassa6287]

my 3 most interesting bottles are probably knob creek 15, Westward Single Malt cask strength, and an Old Monroe Single barrel store pick rye whiskey finished in amburana

[@rrkaminski9]

Feel better Trent - it would be cool to see Trent do this video once he feels better and give his list!

[@matthewjanisse6514]

Hey Kurt! There’s a store near Atlanta that actually has an entire barrel pick of a 13 year Glenallachie that was aged in a first fill px puncheon. It is an awesome scotch. Chocolate and blueberries for days!

[@jonathansantana6239]

Hey Trenton , you gotta take your Flintstone vitamins everyday bud. Maybe you wouldn't get sick so often. The purple ones have some bourbon notes. Get well soon.

[@pillcozby431]

For me right now it's Kavalan Solist series. You should pick up an Olorosso or Peated one. Cheers

[@Theaussiemixer]

If you get a chance you have to try some Australian whiskey, not upshot, but whiskey like 78 Degrees, Lark, Sullivan's Cove and Archie Rose Whiskeys if you can get them! The 78 Degrees standard whiskey is amazing with raison flavours whilst Archie Rose Single Malt is awesome with Sticky Date Pudding flavours

[@umami0247]

I like the ASW malt series the Duality and malted rye are both interesting bottles. Another one is the Shortbarrel toasted 101 a very good toasted bottle unfortunately they dropped the proof to I believe 96 proof and I haven’t tried that one yet. I have a few others that for me are unique and I enjoy them. Great video I wish I could find a Dark Arts one day. Enjoy!!

[@wevegraysquaw7855]

you've constructed that list with startling applomb tell T he needs to mix castor and olive oil and apply to lymphatic areas

[@nickalmand]

Can personally vouch for the ASW Fiddler Georgia Heartwood. If you're in Atlanta, Green's has their store pick of this bottle still on the shelf and they're absolutely fantastic. Might pick up a backup next time I'm up there.

[@TheWhiskeyRambler]

Hope you feel better soon Trent

[@Abby_Normal_1969]

My collections isn't super interesting. But two really stand out in my mind. First is a cask strength Black Adder, sourcing juice from Dalmore. The second is a 29 year old Silent Stills from Glenlochy cask strength.

[@Mortalis2]

I really like Scotch and especially Highland and Speyside. The GlenAllachie is a Speyside and when I looked up the 2009 bottle found there are multiple finishes. I am assuming the bottle you have is the Madeira finish since Madeira is more of a sweet wine.

[@LethitaNemedian]

I've been sipping the Seagrass for the past couple years Can't state enough how good that juice is I've been through 4 bottles so far, and I'm nursing the 5th

[@kingkrow420]

[@s.a.2317]

Went to the store to pick up JD SiB BP rye. Ended up sampling and buying Still Austin cask rye.

[@fortunevender1646]

[@randc47]

Grabbed a Dark Arts Madeira pick from Trevor’s recently. So good!!

[@sief158]

Kurt what is your recipe for the pineapple bourbon drink you have spoken about?

[@djbeacon6895]

Most interesting = gotta go with Longrow Red 15 year Campbeltown scotch in Pinot Noir. Cask strength, red berries, well balanced with a bit of smoke and peat. UFR!!

[@jeffdevries8538]
