If we shared with you, it would no longer be blind!

[@eagleclaw009]

As a whiskey noob I'd like to see blinds that have very strong fruit notes or one with just the most common, basic, and accessible whiskeys (Jack Daniel's, Jim Beam, Makers Mark, Costco/Sam's Club Store brands etc.)

[@morpheus562]

I'd like to see you guys try Noah's Mill

[@Usonian7]

It's humorous that Trenton thinks it's weird when he gets a cinnamon note. But he has no problem pulling out sweaty Jim shorts and rubber tires

[@bmc2567]

And drain pipes and asphalt 😂

[@paleggett1897]

@@Usonian7 every good humorist bases their taste notes on their first 16 to 22 years of life experiences….. gives pause, doesn’t it Trenton❣️😇😎

“Jim” or “gym” shorts

These blind blinds are great! When there is no theme, the guess and impressions are so much more fun!

[@ItsShatter]

Props to your sister for picking a very interesting and diverse lineup!

[@DeputyFarva]

I wonder what her tastings notes are . As Trenton picks out Garden Hose and rubber band notes… maybe Sis is better … where every day is a Hair Adventure for the Lad too …. Bring Sis on More Kurt

[@hokuotaku9027]

Next time, jigger measures! 😂

[@vote4chapman]

This is the funnest video you guys have made so far. Very very enjoyable - funny, fun and extremely relatable. Keep it up, gentlemen.

[@Magnetof51]

Trenton wildly sniffing around like my dog at the beginning had me rolling 😂

[@pumagutten]

This was great, guys! The whiskey noob is a keeper for these blinds!👌

[@BrandonM.N]

14:46 goes perfectly with the music 😂 nice job, Kurt!

[@RhinoViper]

I love these blinds and I really like them when you don't even know what the options are. Good stuff

[@jaxcoop1511]

Kurt’s afraid to be wrong and Trenton doesn’t care if he’s wrong . I love Trenton’s confidence 🥃

[@MrSoapy001]

I really liked this. I think you should have someone like Raquel (sorry if I butchered spelling) that has minimal to no Whiskey/Bourbon experience and just grab random bottles off the shelve/your storage areas. Maybe in next videos give her a criteria like; has to be a Rye, has to be all same distillery, or bottles not behind the camera etc.. Always love watching you guys!

[@roybrice7743]

Love Trenton’s energies of the profiles, please don’t hold him back

[@rossgullet4436]

I love your shows. Heart warming and so entertaining. Great Job!

[@calstate772]

I can't pour the Stagg 18 without immediately popping a few Tums. 🔥

[@GorillaGlueEnthusiast]

The maturation of Trenton in one video! Old man is rubbing off on him!😆

[@Just_One_More_Bourbon]

I enjoy when your sister and mom pick bottles with no rules

[@TLS2005]

Wow I got a bottle of still austin cask strength rye at 116 proof and added a couple of maraschino cherries and a little juice it is so good

[@scottcripe]

Good job Raquel!!!

[@marvinclayton9554]

Good call on the Komagatake. Komagatake 2021 is an ex-bourbon & sherry cask single malt release that's true to their soft & mellow house style with lush jammy fruit notes, hence the appeal to bourbon drinkers and nice job discerning the sherry flavor.

[@stevefromchicago8277]

She picked some great bottles, you guys did well

[@bmc2567]

Great blind. “Noob” did good!

[@bobbybando2593]

Will you gents be doing a Coy Hill or an ECBP C924 review? Can you do a blind of all the ECBPs from this year? Thanks, love the channel! From Boston

[@mattlee1658]

Unbelievable! That Trenton was able to pull out the Hardin's Creek! That is Hella impressive!

[@RhinoViper]

I just stopped by a winery we like to go to that has a ton of different whiskey options to taste and I saw a 2019 Komagatake and so because of this video I gave it a try....very nice, 2 thumbs up.

[@jamescharles8663]

I haven't watched this video yet. I remember she did well last time. Looking forward to what this video will bring us.

[@mattlee1658]

I like it when Trenton tries to guess what he's tasting.

[@phillipstl]

Trenton, you must have known what these were 🤣😂🤣 You said Cedar Ridge on D & then you said, “but the only Japanese whiskey I have….” lol!

[@brineshrimp8603]

I’m slowly but surely turning more towards Wild Turkey- the Private Select Store picks are bangers and the Rare Breeds for $50 at Walmart are no brainers

[@Razieleatssouls]

I have a Knob Creek single barrel that drinks too hot. Good flavors but it's just overkill. It doesn't do well with a block of ice so I might try water drops. Makes me appreciate the art of blending and proofing.

[@jancovanderwesthuizen8070]

I didn’t know Stagg was that high proof. Out of my price range anyway 😂

[@greenacres6632]

Would love to see a blind consisting of bourbons only from estate distilleries (Whiskey Acres, Cedar Ridge, etc.) These small local distilleries would benefit from the recognition and support.

[@swamper7491]

I recently picked up a Breckinridge and I really like it. That may be a good pick for a blind.

[@RyanCopler-kq4xr]

Which one did you get? I got one and thought it was awful ended up using it for a mixer.

[@jamescharles8663]

Fantastic video! Well done everyone.

[@KerrySmith-c1v]

I got Rare Bread for the first time the other day and I love it. I’m like you Kent. I keep going back to wild turkey 101 and now I will rarely bread

[@manitobuckles]

Last time, it was a really fun blind! Looking forward to this one, later this evening! Cheers from Winnipeg! 🥃

[@NickGerring]

The plum vinegar has me intrigued, may try that. Live you guys

[@francisrizzo1529]

The NOOB has that look of "yup, I picked them and I DON'T CARE if they suck". Gotta love it, the ultimate blind.

[@alexmyers8623]

You guys ever check-out Rural Inn? It’s a father/son outfit down in Indianapolis with a really great selection. They do a good job of bringing in cool bottles, sampling store picks, the whole nine yards. Worth checking if you’re ever in the area

[@47Experiment_]

Love when Kurt shows how he makes a drink

[@matthewhenry6276]

Great blind. Awesome video per usual guys! I think y’all should do a dusty blind. If you have the bottles to do so.

[@darrellknight4110]

Love my Russell 13 and private barrel what WT should I go for

[@BB-mm1po]

As an everyday sipper, Barrel 5 year is my new favorite ‘underrated’ IMO

[@erickp3753]

Valpo velvet is great! You have to give Pat’s ice cream parlor in Valpo.

[@vern3siegel]

you guys need to review that Frey Ranch behind ya!

[@nickdovgi]

I think Raquel made an awesome blind for you guys even if it was by accident , 3 bangers and a curveball that was also tasty. I really enjoyed watching!

[@ps138vs2cavi]

And I personally prefer the clear glens so we can see the color of each sipper

[@damjr40]

😂😂 Glad Trenton was not having a fit but I'm now on the hunt for Hardins Creek!! Never heard that sound or emotion!! 😂

[@patricksnyder3446]

I'm not a big fan of the new glasses! I like it when you can see the different color tones of the whiskies!! Love the show Trenton just keep doing wha you do, that's what keeps thing light and easy fun to watch!! Just remember Trent when you turn around to check the shelf we can see your bald spot!!

[@SS-bp8yq]

Love me some Lincoln Flats, cheers 🥃

[@bobmazzarese5078]

Must admit, I’m not a big fan of those black glasses. I like seeing the deepness in color, and the viscosity when swirled.

[@keithsytsma]

Hudsonville Triple Peanut Butter Cup. Is a great ice cream made in Michigan.

[@HATFIELDBBQ]

Legacy blend blind. 50/50 blends of that Distillers standard, and one of their higher proof offerings. Examples could be buffalo trace blended with blantons straight from the barrel, wild turkey 101 blended with rare breed, four roses select with their barrel proof etc. Could make for a good video with many iterations?

[@chasesimmons6451]

I would love to see you blind K.Luke toasted batch 2. This is a “barely” toasted pour that really lets the whiskey shine through and the toast is just a compliment

[@bushmaster8912]

You should make a comprehensive lineup ranging from your best to your worst bottles and have mom and raquel taste them.

[@altmandillon1]

Awesome blind. Thanks 🎉

[@debbybrady1246]

Many years ago my stepson and I were avid turkey hunters. Each morning (way before dawn) we would have a cup of coffee with Wild Turkey in it for good luck. I still love Wild Turkey and have great memories of those times.

[@andysk9]

A little off topic but I was able to pickup (2) of the 2024 four roses LEs and I was curious what is your favorite year for the four roses LE ??

[@motorcityb8551]

All 😂

[@theheebs100]

I still don't like the black glens, but the lettering on them is nice.

[@musketmerve1436]

Raquel needs to do a blind along with you both.

[@michaelspreckelson8270]

How about a blind or a review on buzzard's roost barrel strength rye and or bourbon? Their stuff is fabulous

[@DaveVogelsang-b8v]

If you have not had Boulder Spirits cask strength, it is worth checking out. Very similar to Smokeye Hill Barrel Proof. 🥃

[@PlasmaBat]

Y'all are getting pretty good at this

[@bullseye0112]

I like when Trent guesses the blinds that's part of the fun, why not! I like the sour mashes in slight sour flavors. I bought the Green River bourbon and sadly wasn't a fan. It's okay but nothing special in my opinion just higher proof

[@asa63889]

I just got a bottle of Chattanooga Whiskey Batch 039. I’ll send a sample over if you want to do a review of it. I haven’t seen any reviews on it yet

[@tomgensel4134]

That was a good one 🥃

[@jeffruebens8355]

I am a big fan of the low budget whiskeys out of Clermont and Louisville Kentucky. Not the Hardin's Creek because it is too expensive. My 3 rebuys are the 100 proof Old Grand-Dad from Clermont, the 100 proof Early Times from Louisville, and the 90 proof Bernheim Original Wheat Whiskey from Louisville. $21 to $31. If it cost a little less, I would add the Coopers Craft 100 proof from Louisville that I can find for $35 to $37, sold out at MSRP stores.

[@xiamengbaby]

I've been seeing Old Grand Dad 114 by me lately for $22-$23 when it used to be around $30. I'm wondering what's going on there.

[@Bourbonholic]

You guys need to review the new Wild Turkey 70th anniversary. Would love to hear your thoughts on it.

[@H0lyman01]

I died watching Trenton sniff that last glass. 🤣

[@jasonbaily1707]

Low proof I'll try it neat but I usually drink my whiskey on the rocks.

[@briankirtley7684]

Let that bird fly! Really enjoy the content.

I'm still too inexperienced to pick out the front porch. I'm more of a backyard patio guy😂

[@sebastianestrada650]

Weird because the best thing I’ve had Till this day is Jack Daniels coy hill 143 proof, literally the smoothest and longest finish I’ve over had, better then 2020 KOK and rr15 for me but I have a long way to go and lots I need to try

[@kccox7534]

I don't really like sour notes but I only get much if that from turkey. I do on like Ezra Brooks 99 one of my least favorite bottles of all time

[@scottschumacher1585]

Great video!

[@camplerland1578]

Wild Turkey 101 8yr export to Japan is fantastic

[@TenaciousRock27]

[@Gundgy-Miner]

Great fun blind today.

[@roybrice7743]

They do rum ice cream but is there a Bourbon equivalent 😊

[@breakinghues2751]

I always drink bourbon neat, but stagg is something I have to drink on a rock.

[@RhinoViper]

I'm surprised Kurt doesn't add some water to the higher proof stuff....he's not a huge fan of the super hot stuff but the good thing about higher proof stuff is you can add a couple drops of water and then see how that performs. You can always add water to high proof but you can't add proof to 80-90 proofers.

[@Redacted-Information]

Komagatake 30 yr is the most expensive whiskey I have ever had and I hated the Smoke/Peat flavor!

[@robertrackuzius3722]

By the way you described Hardin's Creek, it makes me wonder if she pulled the 2 year expression.

[@mikekirby2085]

Whats the Trail that got bought out?

[@RatsKingdom]

I get funky grass stains out of Wild Turkey 101..

[@vulpixel]

I want to see blinds from someone who has never tasted neat bourbon before! The real truth about how wild turkey 101 is for starters. (I had to drop down to BH and work up to buffalo trace).

There is a difference between hot and high proof.

[@scottsalom3891]

Can someone explain to me why so much time is spent smelling whiskey? Do you smell your steak before cutting in? Do you smell a top cheesecake before taking a bite? Do u smell a beer before drinking? Just seems like such an overplay by so called experts. Its the taste….its the taste…. Its the taste.

[@garymeyer3294]

Absolutely agree!
