I work with my dad also - I'm 36 and my dad is 71 - I hope Trenton realizes how much of a blessing it is to be able to make money with your dad. Cheers boys!

[@treborkroy5280]

Make money? I just want to spend time with my dad. Appreciate them while they're here.

[@100puremustard5]

​@@treborkroy5280BOOM, THIS!!!

[@imoffthegrid2158]

The old Forester 1920 just isn't the same since the label change.

[@tonyhollingsworth3168]

Agreed. I worked with my pa from 18-34 when he retired. It was indeed a blessing.

[@swisdom2963]

I didn't realize they were even related. Worked with my dad fit over 30 years of my life, what a blessing. Sadly, he has passed, but I still have amazing memories. Enjoy all the time you've been blessed with gentlemen and keel uo the great work!

[@rsklebar]

I have been listening to you guys every morning for a year because my husband wakes up before me. Makes his coffee & starts listening to Bourbon guys on KZbin. You are the only ones I really like. I worked for a big liquor distributor in St Louis, Mo for many years. I had to beg my restaurant customers to buy Blantons in the 90’s. Everything back then was all about Martinis. Keep up doing what you’re doing. You guys are all about the education, no ego. If you ever travel to St Louis check out The Wine and Cheese Place. 4 stores owned locally. The store in Clayton. Ask for Paul.

[@fritzgeiger8603]

Happy birthday to the nicest whiskey tuber on the web! Kurt you always have smile on your face!

[@valvulae]

Classic Trenton: “tastes like cherry cobbler. I’ve never had cherry cobbler “

[@bobbbbysacamano]

wow, just hilarious.

[@chriswatkins4993]

“I’m like not in the mood to carry stuff”. Next best Trent line in this video. 😂😂😂😂

[@jc5066]

Happy birthday Kurt. I'm a Wild Turkey guy myself. Last night I did a blind of W.T. 101, Old Forester 100, and Buffalo Trace. That is the order I would normally tell you I like best to least. Last night I really enjoyed the Buffalo Trace much more than the rest, and the W.T. 101 was my least. I was completely surprised. All that matters is build yourself a selection of bourbons you enjoy, and you will never have a bad pour. Doing blinds from time to time is not only fun but also a reminder how on any given day your pallet may be different from the last time.

[@BB-sc1jv]

Happy birthday Kurt! Turned 60 myself this past October. Celebrated mine with a 60 mile bike ride (pedals, no motor) and pour late in the evening of Russells Reserve single barrel.

[@marcusd1796]

Yeah, Happy B'day Kurt. I'll be 65 in April. Welcome to the club to you and @BB-sc1jv

[@DavidGiardina-n6q]

Happy 60th, Kurt! I’ve been watching you guys for about a year and now think of you as friends, which is weird, but a testament to how genuine you guys are. Thanks, and keep up the great work.

[@paulgammelljr6883]

Happy bday brother. 60 years also , and 40 years in the family drywall business .many more to ya

[@FoucaultLover]

I lost my father during COVID and miss him greatly. He was a wild turkey fan from the old days when almost no one was a fan. 80s, 90s. Just the regular 80 proof stuff. Still have one of his bottles from the late 90s. Anyways. I love the channel. I think we should send you some of our better Canadian stuff for you to blind. Jeff, From Toronto

[@squish1504]

Define the better Canadian stuff so I can make a good purchase when I visit!

[@Lanedar68]

Rare Breed is fantastic!! It’s become my go to bourbon.

[@skramzy6628]

Maker's 46 Cask Strength is one of my favorite bourbons. And the nose is heavenly.

[@kevinclingaman6277]

I’m a huge Bakers 7 fan. Top three favorite. We are all tastefully different. Happy Birthday. Welcome to the > 60 club.

[@RxSquatch]

I did a three blind last night with RareBreed, OF 1920, and Boulder cask str. The two of us participating both selected the Boulder Cask strength over the other two. We were surprised, and the Boulder bourbon was awesome. Happy birth anniversary, Kurt.

[@uttersaction]

Just ordered the Boulder CS - looking forward to it 🤙🥃

[@Slo-Mode]

Happy Birthday Kurt!! As a makers fan I see this as an absolute win

[@buggyridge]

Happy Birthday Kurt! Really enjoy your father-son channel.

[@neilpowell1641]

Happy Birthday, Kurt! Makers 46 Cask Strength is great; doesn't surprise me at all this one won today. Good line up, A-D! Thanks.

[@AlanSimpson-yw2rc]

Have a wonderful birthday, Kurt! You’re a youngster compared to me; I’ll be 74 in a few weeks. I love your channel, especially the humour and rapport between you and Trenton.

[@golfballwhisperer4643]

Happy Birthday Kurt. May you continue to have birthdays for many years to come.

[@Brad-ic4bp]

Looks good for 60! I’m confused though - Trenton “met” and has only known Kurt since he was like 6 years old - so Kurt’s his step-dad?

[@jpgiii85]

It’s such a privilege to grow old Kurt! Happy birthday!

[@tomlowe7164]

Happy 60th birthday Curt. Keep the videos coming we love them.

[@HeffewiezenDudeGuy]

Love the content guys. Even though I'll be taking the year off from drinking (weight loss, overall health) I still enjoy watching your videos and living vicariously through you two!

[@nickp5511]

Happy Birthday Kurt! Fun review again! I blinded these after the first video and came up with this order: Rare Breed, Baker’s 7, OF 1920, MM 46 cask. RB is just a great all around pour! B7 IMO is a really sweet crackerjack peanut, OF 1920 satisfying every time, and for me MM usually falls short and I don’t care for it other than BEP, BRT-01, and my store pick. I gave away my MM 46 regular and cask to a friend that loves it:) Cheers!

[@TheAnthonyHensley]

The issue with the Bakers 7 is each bottle is different with it being single barrel.. some I’ve had blow other bottles away

[@FakingANerve]

If the variance is that severe, I feel fine never rolling those $70 dice ever again. Every bottle of Old Tub I've had beats the hell out of this Bakers bottle I have.

[@60zeller]

If you had your 60th birthday it means you have actually been on earth 60 years. It is actually your 1st day of your 61st year. And happy birthday

[@patrickscott258]

A nice video. Happy birthday! I would like to see a video exploring whether a bottle oxidizes over time. Same bottle, fresh open, couple months open, one year, 2 years. I think keeping bottles fresh makes a difference for me.

[@neilritchey7200]

it all comes down to personal preference as Kurt says. I have all 4 of those on my bar at all times and when in a blind Bakers 7 comes out on top for me followed by Rare Breed, then 1920 and Makers 46 in last. Love all of them, but something about Bakers just feels right with me. It's become my go to pour.

[@bmc2567]

Happy Birthday Kurt! Yes, RB won the first go around. I remember Trent’s great reactions to the “best bourbon”. 🥃

[@johngirlando]

Congratulations, Kurt! I’m working on year 74 myself. I enjoy your clips!

[@JHPIV1956]

Many happy returns, Kurt! Gotta agree with the MM 46 CS, lovely pour!!

[@billglaser9218]

1st off. Happy birthday, Kurt. I did a similar blind last week only my blind had OGD114 instead of OF 1920. My order was Maker's, Rare Breed, Bakers, OGD 114.

[@conradkostelecky7935]

Happy Birthday Kurt. Wishing you many more!

[@davidthompson6702]

Happy Birthday, Kurt! I turned 63 on the same day.

[@waynefialo9492]

Trenton's Flavor Profile Challenge: You eat but dont swallow (so as to not get sick or hurt) all the edible/chewable items he's used to describe bourbon. Pencil shavings (the wood not the graphite), eraser, drywall, an old leather shoe, the sole of a sneaker, etc. PS Happy Birthday Kurt!!

[@CPGumby]

Happy Birthday, Kurt! 60 is the new 40! All those bottles are great - I would have a tough time picking a favorite.

[@GindD]

Happy Blessed Birthday Kurt!

[@muddymetalers]

Hi! I found your channel a few weeks ago and LOVE watching the two of you. Kurt, you have a great way of sharing your love of cocktails and whiskey tasting. I also found The Bourbon Van at the beginning of December. I've been binge watching your channel from start to present. I've even made a friend with a local chain liquor store and was given her card. She helped me find some great bottles. I'm over east of South Bend and am working on finishing off my basement. My plan is to use repurposed cabinets from The Re-Store to build my bar. I love Scotch, Rye, and Irish whiskies. A: being Rare Breed, Kurt drinks it over ice, so neat would drink a bit hot. I like that you guys do this.

[@jerryhill2916]

Happy birthday Kurt! I watched the party last night. I have watched so many of your guys videos, and just realized you were a drywall guy last night. If I heard right, your brother Kent is a painter? I’ve been painting, and drywalling since 1984, so as much as I’ve always appreciated your vids, and live streams, I was even more appreciative that you are working class guys. You and Trenton do an amazing job! Keep them coming!

[@benpriester6657]

HAPPY BIRTDAY Kurt I turn 62 on February 26th! HAPPY BIRTHDAY Kent!

[@jmayes27]

That’s a great bday! It’s mine as well! But will be my 38th

[@trentparker5223]

Happy Birthday Kurt! I just finished your blind. I had to sub in knob creek 12 for bookers, but I finished up with OF1920 4th, Knob Creek 12 3rd, MM 46 cask strength 2nd, and RARE Breed number 1.

Happy birthday Mr Kurt! God bless you

[@Mark-1962]

Welcome to the club, Kurt! Happy Birthday!

[@mikepetrella4009]

Awesome video boys! Happy Birthday Kurt! It’s so funny to see Trenton so giddy when Rare Breed loses….but Maker’s 46 CS is an amazing bottle of whiskey. Cheers!

[@OutsideTheStar]

Those two beautiful words paired together is everything I needed to hear. Bourbon gusher. 🤤

[@WhiskyForBeginners]

*Happy birthday, Kurt!* 😍🎂 1:25 Strong Like Bull. 🙂 Lemme just insert this here. I'm a Southern boy - a Texan specifically. I don't particularly care for Yankees. But y'all are so normal and natural that I'd be proud to know you. Except for the accent I could think y'all were Southerners. 😍 21:37 After what y'all said about it, it surprises me that the Maker's won.

[@haroldingmire6768]

I like all 4, and enjoy the differences! Great review as always! Happy birthday!

[@shmuckling]

After a couple of years of trying to pin down what I like, I've found that my preferences change daily. I've accepted that and it's actually kind of liberating. Knowing how some days some cheap bourbons might beat some of my favorite expensive or allocated bottles has made me a lot less likely to overspend and now if I find myself really loving a budget poor I don't automatically assume there's something wrong with my senses that day. Some days I end up loving bourbons I thought were awful before and some days stuff I hold in very high regard tastes subpar, and it's all good and fun.

[@RyanBird49]

Just tried 46 cask this past weekend, and was blown away. I've never really like makers but this bottle is an exception

[@nicfromtexas]

21:14 “You screwed my brains out is what you did” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 too funny

[@WadeinWhiskey]

I loled

[@TexBGH]

Minutes after being told this is a family channel…my kids will not recover

[@AlejandroMS67]

Kurt lets loose these bizarre comments every once in a while completely innocently, without realizing how they might come across to those of us with darker minds...

[@karl0318]

Happy Birthday! I am just 3 year behind you! Blessings you to you and your family!

[@everybodydothebartman7413]

I’ve got each of these on the shelf so I think I’m going to rewatch, do a short pour and follow along tonight.

[@jishnumohan1204]

Happy Birthday Kurt🎉 Wishing you many many more returns of the day 🎈🎈🎈🎈

[@johng5710]

Happy birthday Kurt! I get zero floral notes off of Makers 46 CS...to me it consistently smells and tastes like chocolate chip pancakes with syrup and butter. It's maybe the one bottle you could give to me blind that I could tell you exactly what it is. One of my favorites!

[@juliestockton8079]

Happy birthday, Kurt!!!

[@BourbonJudge]

The memory card getting full!!! Lmao Kurt that happens to me once in a while and I hateee it, especially on a blind… lol cheers guys!!!

[@dustinhebert4162]

Happy birthday Kurt. My baby girl Layla's 3rd birthday is also today. Cheers!

[@Richie.Z]

Happy belated Birthday, Kurt!!🎉🥃🎂

[@brienburke4382]

Happy Birthday Kurt. My wife has the same birthday. Apparently Good Folks are born on 2/9. Love your videos.

[@CGsYTChannel]

Proud of you for putting the links in! lol

[@balbomb]

46 cask strength, rare breed, and either 1910 or 1920 were on my list of I start panicking when my last bottle is half full. I mean this is a heck of a list. I know in the past you have talked about this particular bottle of 1920 maybe not being up to par, I would encourage you to put a new bottle in the next tasting. I think all 3 of these I would pick on certain nights, but I am just surprised the 1920 was clearly third.

[@hhbuckeye5hhbuckeye585]

Happy Birthday Kurt! Rare Breed and Makers 46 Cask along with the Old Forrester 1920 and KC 120 store picks are all my proofy shelfer picks. I killed my Rare Breed no back up, but 46 Cask is backed up. So I guess my lean is into Makers 46 also.

[@davidteller7681]

A milestone birthday, Happy Birthday Kurt! Welcome to the "sixes"

[@stevenphillips430]

All these blinds have shown Maker's Mark to be one of your favorite overall distilleries. Maker's is often overlooked and taken for granted, I'm glad to see them performing so well, they are one of my favorites, especially the 46CS.

[@scottryan616]

Happy Birthday Kurt!! Thank you for all the interesting content. Keep smiling! Cheers!

[@ChristopherNeeme]

Happy 60th, Kurt! And here's to your next 6 decades. They say whiskey keeps you young. Who's they? Exactly. 🥃🎂👍

[@TheOnion12]

It’s always sneaky tossing a line wheater into a blind. Especially a cask strength one.

[@chrisgunn408]

Happy Birthday! My 52nd is tomorrow! Cheers!🥃

[@josephpowell7998]

🎉🎉🎉Happy Birthday Kurt. Hope you celebrated big and enjoyed some pours with family and friends

[@mhawkins1700]

Two questions I am dying to know...1. Are the two of you related? I feel like it was made clear in another episode, but I just wanted to be sure because if you are related, congratulations on being so damn cool! 2. Bourbon madness tournament??? Can viewers get in on this? 😆. Love all that you do and THANK YOU!

[@AlejandroMS67]

They are father and son. But I too was confused by Trenton's comment "I've known you for 23 years now" which threw me off, because who normally says they've known their mom or dad for x years? It's a strange idea conceptually...

[@buttersmcgee]

​@@AlejandroMS67 I think kurt is technically his stepdad... that's what I've gathered from context

[@michaelrodgers940]

Happy Birthday Kurt, welcome to the Big 60 this day will only come once enjoy it for the very special moment in your life that it is. Best Wishes. Cheers 🥃

[@scottdemaree5852]

That 1920 is probably the newer one. I don't believe the old bottle does that. That Makers 46 cask is exceptional. Thanks for the entertainment.

[@geecee1990]

All four of these are some of my absolute favs :)

[@USNUSA]

Happy birthday Kurt. Welcome the sixty’s club.

[@debbybrady1246]

Happy Birthday Kurt. Hope your day is filled with blessings.

[@Abby_Normal_1969]

I know my order. Maker's 46 CS, Bakers, 1920, and number 1 Rare Breed. 1920 and Rare Breed are close. Fun to watch this blind.

[@matthewcowan1001]

🎉happy birthday Kurt!!

[@bigdaddymojo2005]

HAPPY BELATED BUDDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!...Enjoy your Vids!!!!!!!!!

[@JoshMeert]

Happy Birthday Kurt! Could you guys do a blind where you compare Wild Turkey Rickhouses? Wanting to see if Camp Nelson makes that much of a difference. Could do Kentucky Spirit or Russels Single Barrels. I'm sure Kurt wouldn't mind a multiple Turkey blind!

[@tobyhayes611]

I love Bakers 7, Knob Creek 9 yr and Rare Breed. As you indicated, he ranking depends on your taste preference on any particular day!

[@steelememes7889]

Happy Birthday Kurt recently discovered your guys channel and started a collection. Thank you guys 😊🎉

[@borgcutus5780]

Tasting note for Trenton to try would be bandaid.

[@paulnelson7479]

I heard a bourbon taster from one of the distilleries say that you take a very small first sip because it will be taste hot. Then you start enjoying the pour

[@dsmoov2]

The day and mood makes a big difference. I just had a Clonakilty Irish Whiskey last night and wasn’t feeling it at all. I decided to give it another chance today and it is great! It is so weird how your taste buds can be affected differently on any given day

[@hollyjhj3732]

Kurt had me thinking with the Mentos thing. I believe I would also eat the half roll, but I'd probably remove the top Mento and discard it first. Great choice on the Maker's 46 CS. I love Rare Breed, too, and have never blinded them, but the Maker's is an excellent pour.

[@Mr.Sniffles1]

Is it just me or does Maker’s win every single blind??? 😂

[@MyDailyPerspective]

HAPPY BDAY KURT!!!! KEEP THE CONTENT COMING.

[@GoldenClays1]

Happy Birthday Kurt, and Many More!

Happy Birthday Kurt. Welcome to the 60s! 😁 MM 46 CS and WT RB are great pours. I recently had OF 1920 and it was quite good. I have never have had Bakers #7. Cheers

[@lengaddis4155]

Happy birthday Kurt,enjoy the videos especially when Trent picks a wild turkey product over some of his favorites,my wife and I are over seas and I found wild turkey 101 12yr,the store owner said it was a x port only not sold in the US,fact or fiction?

[@NCPorkBBQ]

I appreciate Trent brushing his hair a little
