The BEST Bottled In Bond BOURBON IS...

[@strictlydiesel8305]

I love how "not KZbinr-y" you guys are Keep it up

[@austinmartin2927]

I agree. They're just down to earth guys drinking and talking about bourbon. I like it.

[@popskull42]

Nailed it.

[@slbdrinks]

We truly want the channel to be all about having fun! Much appreciated!

[@strictlydiesel8305]

@@slbdrinks Seems like you took this positively and that's good - - thought about this comment afterwards and thought you might have thought I meant you didn't come across in a professional way, which isn't what I meant. It's more just that you guys don't present yourselves like you're trying to play a character in order to "be more entertaining." You guys are just yourselves and that's endearing.

Really enjoyed the series! I appreciate Trenton being willing to come on camera for the finale. It was really nice to be able to see him.

[@danhyatt9246]

Thanks!

[@RABSTRAINS]

It’s so cool seeing you both together; Father and Son! Do the team approach more often! Great Job Guys!

[@slbdrinks]

Thanks Bob!

[@devin4265]

It’s so funny to see how nervous Trenton used to be…he’s right at home cracking all the weird tasting notes nowadays! 😂 Love you guys! Best whiskey channel on You Tube!!!!

[@johnfernandez345]

Thanks for this series, guys: The Battle of the BiBs! And it's been great to see the OGD and ET, lower-priced and widely available bottles, do so well. Cheers, Kurt & Trenton!

[@HanginAZ]

I have OGD BiB and Early times BiB on my shelf already! No hunting required. Great series fellas,

[@georgefoster6380]

Old Grand Dad BiB is now my go to daily bourbon just from watching you guys. I finally tried it last week and I’m very happy with it. For the life of me I cannot find ET BiB after going to 4-5 stores here in my county. Will keep looking. You guys have helped me find a replacement for Buffalo Trace since I can no longer find it PERIOD, here in Maryland.

[@slbdrinks]

I wish everyone could have the same opportunities!

[@icemann0042]

Loved watching this series! Really enjoyed seeing father and son on screen together also

[@georgefoster6380]

Agreed! If I may… you two are “cute” together. I hesitated to use that word but I can’t think of a more apropos word.

[@slbdrinks]

Well thank you!

[@KneeAches]

Thanks guys. Entertaining and educational.

[@jmartinez4460]

I know this is an older video but I’m glad I found this channel. I love how you and your son hangout and taste whisky together. My sons first ever drink of alcohol was with me and was scotch we have been trying bourbon lately.

[@jimvoll7239]

Great Series. After watching the round that Early Times first showed up I went and bought a bottle and immediately thought it was winner. I have most of the bottles you chose for this series. Pulling Old Fitz was a good move, that is clearly #1.

[@jeffreybrooks8643]

Wow! We finally get to see Trenton in view! As you mentioned, having the Old Fitzgerald $120/bottle BiB compared against the others that run $25 to $65/bottle may not be a fair comparison. Thank you for the great series!

[@Black43Rose]

Trenton is a natural in front of the camera. And I love the way he makes Kurt laugh. Lucky family!!

[@stuartrollings602]

What a great series guys! Love the father son interaction , in fact my son is joining me this week to sample 15-16 bottles over the next week. Keep it up!

[@slbdrinks]

Sounds like a great time! Enjoy!

[@stevenprobst4917]

As someone who is just getting into drinking bourbon's and whiskey outside of a cocktail these series are so good. Really gives some some great ideas on bottles to look out for. Especially brands that I would not have thought of like Old Grand Dad.

[@slbdrinks]

Glad you enjoyed the series!

[@docrat2]

Thank you both- great fun and great picks!

[@Logan_Simmons]

One of your best videos yet! Loved it. Happy to see ET BiB win. One of my favorite bottles.

[@EverydayDrinker]

It did it! It came from the depths of second place and took down the big dogs! Great job guys!

[@johnr.5706]

No surprise Early Times did so well, it really is great. Found it on sale for $21 a liter and bought 4 a while back, the sazerac branded. Great series!

[@kellydrover1994]

Great video guys thanks !

[@brienburke4382]

Excellent series. Love all your shows.

[@michaelwalters4128]

Another great series. You guys are the best

[@paintballjunkie65]

I watched this video yesterday right when it was posted. It reminded me to go out and get another bottle of Early Times BIB as i just finished mine. I have only had the new bottle, as i have never seen the old one here in Colorado. I love the new one. But I Just got lucky, because yesterday i happened to stumble upon 4 old ones. Needless to say, I bought them all!!! Haha

[@slbdrinks]

Wow good for you!

[@jamesmauckmd8931]

What about a cask strength/barrel proof competition?

Wish you could!

4:11 thought this was a family show

[@jimagent1826]

I started drinking old grand dad about 3 years ago. I enjoy OGD 114. It won't break the bank. Good neat or as a mixer too. I will need to pick up old fitz too. Good video

Great choices for the money!

I have all 4 and they are great! Love the BIB series

[@tylerweers1188]

Great to see Trenton again. Thanks for the series and explaining what bottled in bond means.

[@brianfait1430]

Hi guys! Love your straightforward approach to your channel. I have to say that I probably would have never bought a Wilderness Trail yellow BIB but picked it up based on your comments on it. Really really great choice and I look forward to trying more of your recommendations. Keep up the good work and here’s to Trenton on camera more often.

[@bryanwalker1737]

Great fun! Good job!

[@cathylaw9790]

[@slbdrinks]

Glad you liked it!

[@sarahthomas9864]

Me and my dad are very invested in watching your channel together. LOVE IT. And especially loved this series. How about a blind barrel proof next?

[@slbdrinks]

That’s awesome you watch it together! Enjoy those moments!

[@BigKidCertified]

I’ve never had Old Grand Dad Bonded before. Just bought a bottle for Old Fashions. Definitely going to have a glass neat first! Good work boys!

[@Adbam44]

This episode cements you guys as my favorite whiskey youtube channel. I love it! One thing that NEEDS TO BE MENTIONED ALL!!! Your Old Fitzgerald is a 14yr. There is an 8 and 9 year Old Fitz bib on the market that might not beat out the ET Bib. I had the 9 year last month and I was underwhelmed. It was still good but a little flat. I would love to find the 14 and 17yr to try. When you consider these 4 yr Bibs were going up against a 14yr bib it's a little unfair.

[@slbdrinks]

The 14 is the only one I have unfortunately. Trent has the 17 yr and that one is other worldly good! Appreciate you being a part of the channel!

[@williamumbach592]

Love the bou4bon blinds

[@fionadavison7952]

Great video...more Trenton!

[@PrimeMover93]

Never change! You guys are great

[@pitboss55]

Enjoy the show guys. A suggestion on the blind tasting shows: once you’ve shown what A B C D are…keep it up as a key. Maybe a small box in the corner somewhere. Later in the show I forget what A B C D are, so this way the viewer always knows as you discuss.

[@slbdrinks]

Thank you!

[@Farwalker2u]

Great bracket series!

[@hopshlooken]

What a great finish! This was a blast to watch!

[@tobyhayes611]

A tough competition for sure! My choices would have been 1. Early Times, 2. Old Grand Dad, 3. E. H. Taylor, and I've never had the opportunity to taste the others but expect I would enjoy Old Fitzgerald BIB based on and Very Special Old Fitzgerald I purchased at the Bourbon Heritage Center several years ago. Keep up the good work and let's see some Jim Beam Distillery comparisons, perhaps between their small batch collection with a couple others thrown in.

[@slbdrinks]

Just might get into some Jim Beam with a Knob Creek study!

[@tobyhayes611]

Knob Creek is one of my favorites. The 12 year old Knob Creek is spectacular!

[@lucapaparcone6270]

Hands down, this Is the best bourbon channel on you tube. Keep going guys!

[@slbdrinks]

Much appreciated!

[@donmorton3954]

Wow...what a shocker! Very cool. So now I am off to the store to get Old Fitzgerald (if I can find it), Early Times, and Old Grand Dad. Glad you guys liked my suggestion for this and made it a fun tourney. Thanks again Kurt and Trenton!

[@slbdrinks]

Appreciate your involvement in the channel!

[@casudhoff]

Early Times BiB is a fantastic pour! This also won my last tasting that I hosted with friends and neighbors. We had a flight of 7 pours. Basil Hayden 10Y, Michter's Sour Mash Toasted (2019), Orphan Barrel Rhetoric 20Y, Wild Turkey Masters Keep BiB 17Y, Early Times BiB (BF), Makers Mark Se4-PR5, Kentucky Owl B10 Bourbon. Early Times BiB was the unanimous winner for the group! Eye opening for sure!

[@slbdrinks]

Very! That was some stiff competition!

[@davidstewart3868]

You two are great on camera. I have the old grandad B&B, and finally found a bottle of Early Times B&B by Sazerac and the Early Times is an amazing value. Well done gentleman!

[@slbdrinks]

Thank you!

[@callmebender]

Great Series!!! Battle of the Bonds!! ET for the win. Not surprised at all. It is so well rounded with QUINTESSENTIAL bourbon notes. Crushable indeed!!!

[@slbdrinks]

Ya baby!!

[@davidjohnston4345]

Just because saz bought the distribution rights to early times in 2021 does not mean that the whiskey inside the bottles are any different today. Saz is not a producer. The producer in charge of making new early times is Barton. But the barrels are just now being filled so we won't get Barton early times until almost 4 years from now let alone the fact that there are still going to be brown Forman reserve barrels until they completely run out. The only change is where it is being bottled. Which yes that can change the taste slightly but not noticeably.

[@brentworls8509]

Good to see you both on the screen.

[@beerme8949]

Great video guys!

[@stevenhawley3917]

I would like to see a taste testing between Irish whiskeys. Love you guys. You are such real people.

[@slbdrinks]

Thank you sir! Irish whiskey is an excellent topic!

[@timothycollins3829]

This series was interesting in showing how a palate can change from day to day. The Early Times lost to E H Taylor in the first round.

[@slbdrinks]

Exactly! With similar very good bourbons the lineup can change every day!

[@coreysstillbarking]

If you recall, it was so very close though. They could have gone either way on that one.

[@briancopple4238]

That was a great series of videos, you should definitely do more series like that

[@kitdonovan7727]

Kurt said.. "it comes in the mouth really good" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@msa4998]

Fun! Nice job! Good to see T in front on the camera. Other than Old Fitz thought Taylor would walk in this, but great that you all are true to you palate and not what you think was in each glass. ET at $25 for a 1L is an outstanding selection. Interesting to hear that the Wilderness, what I call “barn funk” carries into their wheated BiB. I have a higher proof Trail pick and I like it, but you gotta be in the mood for it knowing what it will offer up. Barn! Would be great to do a “straight rye” blind as I know I get some really different tastes and notes off of different bottles. Keep it up!

[@slbdrinks]

Great description! Barn funk!

[@jerrywhitehead679]

This has been so fun. It's good to see "the professor" in front of the camera this time. I got some new ideas.

[@007twm]

Thank you for another nice video.

[@dunny2124]

Amazing 🤩, glad i have 4 bottles of it ET & this is why, what a great value & sells out qickly in MI, Not had OGD bonded, going to get that one- $28, one of the only one i dont have in all your brackets (luv ogd 114), how about a 12 year scotch bracket like this ? 👍

[@slbdrinks]

Dunny, think that might be coming next! Unfortunately though Trent does not like scotch so he will not be tasting 😟

[@travishale4961]

This was an awesome series.

[@danhyatt9246]

Great competition as usual. Your picks are generally to my tastes as well. Always fun.

[@patharrington7645]

Always great content on here men!! (and Michelle) Old Fitz 14 is what kicked my love of bourbon in to HIGH gear.. had it at Abe and Louie's in Boston last year... BLEW my mind. I now have an 8yr spring 21, an 11 fall 21, and the 17 spring release from this year.. but would give anything to find that 14 yr again! Keep up the great work.. all the best

[@slbdrinks]

Awesome Fitz collection! That 17 yr is other worldly imo!

[@joeport6823]

You should have had Old Tub in there. Like Old Grand Dad, it is a Beam product but better.

[@jamesstreet1144]

I knew the Old Fitzgerald was in class by itself, so I’m glad you pulled it. I’m not sure I agree with your outcome, but it’s a matter of personal taste. It was a great idea getting Trenton on camera again. Great series!

[@slbdrinks]

Thank you! The final lineup could change every other day when doing blinds of like bourbons. They were all very good!

[@SandraRubenstein]

Loved having Trenton in “front” of the camera!

[@robertlee6781]

Looks like I need another Early Times to compare to the Brown Forman version. I liked the old version, but the Sazerac bottling should hold its own in light of your results.

[@weimarutube]

Holy cow! Welcome Trenton. Wish Early Times BIB was sold around my house!!

[@bbpete8349]

I saw this within a few hours of your posting but I wasn't logged in. So, now I am and can comment. I really liked this bourbon BiB blind tasting and how you did it. I have to say that I'm glad Early Times was the winner! Thanks.

[@bbpete8349]

I had to go out and buy Early Times blue label. It took 3 stores before finding it. I like it and found that Sazerac owns it but they also own the Col. EH Taylor! Plus 1792, Buffalo Trace, Blanton's, Weller, more.

[@slbdrinks]

Correct! I have a hard time believing the juice would change that dramatically after the change of hands. Going to find out soon!

[@saul.m184]

Great series! I currently have in my collection ET, WT, EHT. A like them all but I am so glad to see ET win. I need to try OGD and would love to get a bottle of OFG but that one is a major unicorn at least in Texas.

[@slbdrinks]

Boy that’s crazy! Hope you find it soon!

[@JohnnyBGood87]

I found your channel about two months ago and I’ve mostly been watching videos in reverse order that you’ve put them out, but this one randomly popped up. Interesting to see how comfortable Trenton has become in front of the camera since this video! As always, loved the content!

Great video all.. I really enjoyed seeing how each of you ranked your own bib's, & it helps to show those new to bourbon not all pallets are alike. Now to the funk in wilderness trail Wheated bib.. there is a product at most all grocery stores , inc walmart. It is ( Colgin LIQUID SMOKE , Hickory) it is located with the marinades, it's a small 4 oz bottle.. plz taste this, hell you can just smell it, & give me your thoughts . To me this is so very close to the funk in WTWBIB especially on a fresh crack. So possibly it's a hint of hickory.

Is this similar to peat smoke in scotch or something distinctly different?

@@BigBadJerryRogers I really couldn't say I haven't had but 1 pour of scotch & it was so long ago all I remember was not caring for it.. lol.

@@stevenb392 I see. Well if what you are describing is something you happen to like you will probably like peated scotch. It's like drinking bbq.
