Trenton’s face and reaction when he found out Rare Breed was #1 was hilarious! 😂

[@ericcarpenter3263]

Yeah. I laughed so hard. That was too funny.

[@TorridDesign]

I lost it haha, this was a great video

[@JHawk213]

Trent picking WT as his favorite just made my day 😂 his closet hate for WT just went down the toilet!

[@jloutz]

Finally. I mean what a putz.

[@ericcarpenter3263]

Yeah. The look on his face when he realized it was WT made me laugh so hard.

[@BidenIsKing]

I would love to do this test with these guys!!!

[@docrat2]

Great video- loved Trent ‘sinking’ after WT101 was #1 😂😂

[@kanagawakenji7]

He said it, "best whiskey in the world." Funny it was the dad, who loves WT, that backed off of that statement

[@jasonbennett499]

Wild Turkey not only took 1st, but its also the best value.

[@redslate]

They used to go for $35. I see them for $50 now.

[@wg5768]

Great show! The best part is that Rare Breed is readily available most everywhere and not super expensive.

[@robertschroeder1978]

This was the best blind tasting thus far, hilarious! When you both picked "B" I started to laugh as I knew this would make Kurt's week and Trenton would be humbled! We bow to the Turkey! Thanks guys as you made my Friday morning with laughter and a "Big Grin"!

[@tobyhayes611]

A fantastic blind! The look on Trenton's face when he realized he picked Rare Breed first was priceless!

[@PinkertonMTG]

I have been saying for years now that both rare breed and 46 cask were some of my all time favorites. To see them in the running here and getting the well deserved attention is so nice.

[@AdamN-uq9fy]

I agree. I will always have 46 CS on my shelf. Such an oaky goodness

[@nodaysoff23]

Same for me. I've seen Bakers overhyped and fail on many videos. Never tried it personally.

[@pointblank748]

I love WTRB and OF1920. Bakers7 is good. Never had MM46

[@BeThere_BestServedNeatOnIce]

Major reasons I dislike both Rare Breed and 46 Cask are their high spiciness.

[@100puremustard5]

​@@nodaysoff23As with most blinds Proof Matters. It's really hard for lower proofers to stand out. I don't know about most people but I find myself having a pour by itself much more often than blinding multiple pours. So yes... I love a good Baker's SiB 😂

[@davidatac9738]

“ lying is not the answer on any level “ -- true words right there

[@jcs3451]

The result couldn't have been better if it was scripted. Trenton's shock at choosing Rare Breed as number 1 was priceless!

[@josephpowell7998]

I think Trenton should have to wear Wild Turkey merch (T-Shirts, Ball cap) for a future show!!!

[@davecashel4007]

To watch Trenton eat the big slice of humble pie was absolutely wonderful. Dad knows best proven once again.

[@ericfairchild5431]

Been in the industry for 22 years and everyday taste can change. Think I know what I like but often pleasantly surprised. Blind tasting is the way to go. Like to see same line up again month later.

[@BadgerJeff]

Great. Now people that don't even like Rare Breed are choosing it in a line up. We will never find it again on shelves!!!

[@WhiskeyMyersour]

I just love how much fun you guys have and how wholesome to see this be a family business. Keep up the tremendous work, gentlemen.

[@philpickle1]

Rare Breed will be the standard for what bourbon is for a long time. It has since it's introduction.

[@marvinclayton9554]

Trent, it's called a brush! But, you definitely need to keep busting Kurt's chops for doing such a great job of throwing you under the bus......er, I mean, putting you on the spot right off the bat. This was a FANTASTIC line up and episode. Great comments and observations. Trent melting like the Wicked Witch of the West at 21:28 is an instant classic!!! (Always love family involvement as well.) KEEP IT UP GUYS!!!!

[@WayneS56]

Absolutely love the dynamic between you both! Trenton’s face ,when he found out WTRB was number one, was priceless! Kurt…you ARE the king! LOL

[@joshuaschrock2442]

I'm thankful for y'all today! If my dad were still alive he'd be about Kurt's age. It warms my heart to see you two enjoying a drink and spending time together!

[@billymartijames272]

😂😂😂 Oh Lawd!!! This it THE best blind and in the top 5 BEST videos you two have ever done. The reactions and timing could not have been better. About spit my Jameson across the room. I’m with Kurt… that WT RB is some good stuff!!! Thank you Gentlemen.

[@joewinckowski]

1920 is harsh for me. 1910 and bottled in bond are absolutely delicious

[@oag13]

Kurt’s face before the first reveal was priceless. You could see the nervousness coke across his face. Looked like he had his fingers crossed. 😅😂

[@FTFWMotorsports]

I feel like we need a proper introduction to the whole SLB family!

[@goodbyegalaxy]

You should've been there for the charity Livestream!

[@FTFWMotorsports]

@@goodbyegalaxy I was. Their wives got behind the bar for a brief moment. That’s why I say a proper introduction.

[@paulhendershot111]

Well that was fun. I assumed going in that either 1920 or 46 cask would come out on top, just because I think they stand out in a blind lineup well. Not surprised that Kurt picked the Rare Breed but I am astounded that Trenton went that way. Great video!!

[@JHawk213]

For the price/proof/flavor, I'll put Rare Breed up against anything. Absolutely love it!

[@Posterharpua]

i'd put it up against much pricier bottles I've had as well.

[@phobbes4-zero]

Same goes for Rare Breed Rye. Love em both.

[@redslate]

It's solid, but price creep has hurt its value proposition. Buffalo Trace wins best value, bar none.

[@josefbecker6792]

I recently bought a bottle of wild turkey, and it quickly became one of my favorite bottles. I'm not sure why i like it, but it just tastes good.

[@angelrivera6483]

This was a rollercoaster for me! I was laughing so hard when Trenton picked WTRB!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😭

[@NebFan06]

When Trenton lowered down behind the counter, I absolutely cracked up. 🤣 Thanks for the great content!!

[@harrymurphey2634]

... I have been drinking "Rare Breed" since it was $12/bottle ... and "101" was $8-9 /fifth ... and when the Bartender says " Maker's Mark" is their best bourbon ... I ask them ... "do I look like I am slumming tonight ???" NOPE !!!

[@DaveNorton-yi5ix]

Definitely in the top five ... one of my favorites, especially Trent's face at the reveal. Good show today.

[@leeoverfelt9177]

Had my first Rare Breed last night. I kept saying this taste good, man this taste good. Looking forward to tonight! Enjoyed this video. I think I can find most of these.

[@brmicmatthews8398]

I get chocolate covered cherry with Rare Breed. What did you pick up on the palate?

[@travishale4961]

I got the notification of your video while I was at work so after work I ran to the liquor store and bought a bottle of Rare Breed so I can sip on it while I watched, it has been awhile since I have had Rare Breed, it is well worth the price and I am so glad that you can pick it up anywhere everyday. In my opinion you don't need to chase allocated bourbon when you have a bourbon like this readily available. Amazing video as always gentlemen, you guys videos are something I always look forward to after a long day of work.

[@curtboxley7678]

Great video you two. I would have loved to see a Four Roses Select in the line up as well.

[@christinecamley]

I will take a dram of Rare Breed any day. I have had some damn expensive fine bourbons and for the price Rare Breed is amazing. It's more than the price though. That rarely matters to me - it's the quality and enjoyment that matter. I am a lover of fine single malt Scotch whisky but when I want a wonderful dram of bourbon I often reach for Rare Breed. I love the punch from it and the whole experience! My usual go to bourbon is Elijah Craig Small Batch or a Blanton's and when a friend did a 'blind tasting' recently I chose the Rare Breed! THAT shocked me! Lol! Fabulous video! You all crack me up!! Cheers!! 🙂

[@jpjouas7993]

I really enjoyed this one!! All bottles I keep in the bar! Especially knowing your preferences from watching for awhile, it was my favorite so far! Thanks!

[@bullseye0112]

Boy Kurt is boiling over with confidence😂😂. I'm shocked that Trenton picked the wild turkey. I personally love it and it was fun watching Kurt get the right pic on the blind. I have a suspicion he was chugging wild turkey rare breed just before the video so he didn't mess up😂😂

[@chargerguy74]

Lol this video was great. I was so tempted to skip to the results. Glad I watched it all slowly unfold the way I expected/hoped.

[@lazygoodan]

WT RB is priced at a state minimum of 48 bucks here in Michigan. You can find it easily for that price at almost any Meijer. Great bargain.

[@bwtejas1]

Nice to laugh out loud this Friday - great content as usual guys! I have to admit that I keep my 1920 just for the old fashioned, but I will sip a glass of Rare Breed tonight in honor of the win.

[@andrewlawhon3382]

YES DUDE!!! This was awesome. Rare Breed is King. This just made my thanksgiving week that much better with the WTRB bottle I just bought.

[@CADguru78]

Rare Breed is HOT on initial opening but the flavor opens up after a little time after opening.

[@Posterharpua]

once i saw the lineup i knew RB would be #1. It is the best bourbon on the shelf at it's price point and I can find it at Costco!

[@conboyp65]

Hilarious, Trent was looking so smug thinking it was going to go the other way, to have the WT as his number one, the change in expression was priceless

[@waynefialo9492]

Truthfully, these are 4 fantastic bottles. You really can't go wrong in any order.

[@rufuslumpkin4112]

Weather always plays a role in my preferences. I'm from the southwest corner of rural Georgia. Top shelf stuff is hard to find and always secondary market price when I do. So all the pours in this lineup are basically affordable unicorns for me. 😂 In the summer months, Maker's Mark products are a go to for me. They're light in viscosity and seem to go down easier. As fall has slipped in the Knob Creek 12 and Selects seem to be my most enjoyable pours. Come winter months I'll swap over to Wild Turkey Rare Breed and Kentucky Spirit offerings with a few Elijah Craig Barrel Proofs pours. By Spring I'll rely on Wild Turkey 101. I've yet to try any of the Old Forrester lineup. The 1910 and 1920 run around $70 here so I've been hesitant to purchase either. The pepper flavor mentioned in this video leads me to believe I'd enjoy them in the winter months. Love the channel!

[@nickehora]

I was surprised at this as Trenton is usually very good at guessing the bourbons, crazy outcome though ! Kudos to Kurt for picking the Rare Breed….also one of my favorites ! I just got a bottle of Kentucky Spirit while traveling through Tennessee, my first taste of it and I should have gotten a backup as it rates up there with Rare Breed in my book . Love the channel , keep it great !

[@eviltrain24]

Kurt, at one point I really enjoyed 1910 and appreciated 1920. But at this point, I'm almost ready to walk away from Old Forester entirely. I might accept a glass of 1910 at a bar with the hope that in that evening, I'll get the maple syrup, butter, and waffles I was able to get from the 1910 about 15% of the time. But I would only accept a 1920 if I was in the mood to test my palate and see if I could be convinced that the 1920 isn't an overly oak driven, not enough anything else mess that I've come to expect from that bottle. I plan on buying my first OF100 next year as my one more try bottle in an attempt to see if Old Forester really isn't for me but it's not looking good right now.

[@WhiskyForBeginners]

I like the 100. It's just oaky enough, it tastes good, and it gives me a nice dark feel. Of course you may not like what I do. 🙂

[@RJR2222]

Great blind. The more I do blinds it teaches me how much my palate changes. Bottles that do well in one blind can be middle of the road the next. I think it would be interesting to do the same blind later to see if results remain the same.

[@damayor62]

More outstanding than normal guys and what a great blind! I love the other three so I have to get a bottle of the Makers 46 and try this blind myself. Everyone should watch the whole episode but KZbin history is made at the 21:15 mark as the top 2 are revealed. It's like one of those "Priceless" TV commercials. Thank you as always and keep up the great work.

[@emosam07]

Almost grabbed that Old Forester tonight but it was 2x as much as the 80 proof, so i grabbed a bottle of wild turkey 101 and Elijah wood small batch, and that brings my bottle total to now 4. Literally the most bottles I've ever had at one time.

[@emuser1965]

Palates differ on different days, as evidenced here.

[@scottdepledge4209]

Rare Breed has been my favorite pour now for quite some time.

[@Animal_Pack]

Trenton's reaction you can tell was totally un-scripted. I was laughing out loud almost lost my breakfast lol. Great job guys!

[@JordanG_3031]

[@cjholcomb9687]

Haha awesome job

[@BidenIsKing]

Someone is retired!

[@jeffnuzz]

"Elevator of shame" was a great comment 😆

[@userperson5259]

This was great. As soon as Kurt said "sweet and sour," I knew we were headed for a doozy. When Trent also landed on B, I pretty much fell out of my whiskey-drinking chair!

[@doza2705]

Try storing the bottles that have less than half left, in a smaller glass container. I have noticed that coming back to bottles that have more air than bourbon, changed drastically. Hope this helps. Cheers!

[@BENEVOLENTKNIGHT]

I just bought my first bottle of Rare Breed today. This video made me that more excited to crack it open. Great video guys.

[@jone7034]

Not surprised that Wild Turkey RB won the blind tasting, it's a great bourbon. As for Old Forester 1920, I've suspected for a while that it's not nearly as good as it was a couple of years ago. This tasting and other reviews I've read/watched tend to verify that opinion.

[@jeremywilson8158]

I definitely agree with Kurt's assessment of Rare Breed, it has that sweet & sour vibe going on (at least with the bottle I have at home). Initially, I was put off by the sour note. But the more you crack open the bottle the more you appreciate it (and the sour note becomes less prominent). Almost has a honey characteristic to it.

[@brmicmatthews8398]

I always get chocolate and cherry with Rare Breed.

[@jeromewink557]

The joy on that man’s face. Priceless.

[@DrDaveB]

Awesome lineup. Fun video. RareBreed, Old Forrester 1920, Makers 46CS followed by Baker 7 was how I ranked them along side you guys. Always ones I recommend to those who want to kick their proof up a notch.

[@Emanon67]

Angel's Envy Port Finished is my go-to. Simply awesome. I'm surprised that you didn't include it. Baker's 7 comes in at #2 for me. Mind you, all 4 bourbons in your video are delicious.

[@joelcopeland3018]

This was priceless...Trenton says," It can't be the best"... and it turns out to be the best...

[@WhiskyForBeginners]

17:54 Kurt, you are SOOOOOO humble! 😂 21:24 The look on Trenton's face - priceless.

[@terrencemcdermott5840]

Loved Trenton’s face and reaction! I literally laughed out loud. I was hoping it would happen and it did! #rarebreedforever

[@brandonhahn4351]

Thanks for making me laugh! This channel is truly “magnificent”!

[@michaeljohnson463]

Amazing, going from the previous video about WT to this one is pure gold lol 😆

[@MrCritterJohn]

The burp story had me laughing 😂. Thanks for the videos guys. I needed the laugh.

[@tn_onyoutube8436]

Laughing out loud, slapping my thigh when Trenton chose B! Best video ever.

[@lecaohaiduc]

I haven't tried Baker's 7, but I agree with the ranking. Rare Breed is my favorite, with Maker's Mark a close second.

[@RK-fh4bp]

I love old forester 1920. Always buy a bottle when I see it available

[@russelljochim8607]

Honestly, I bought his bottle because of Matt maconaghey and I like it from the first sip! It got all the notes I love in bourbon and it’s wild turkey for god sakes!!! This is truly number one for a regular off the shelf bourbon under 160.00

[@davidjohnson8930]

Rare breed for some reason just continues to get overlooked. I think it's because it's "so" available I will say I even walk by it. Bakers is sneaky good and I think makers 46 cask like other makers for me fizzle out in flavor when they get halfway down the bottle like yours. 1920 and I'll throw in 1910 are absolute staples.

[@jaxcoop1511]

People are so focused on finding their hard to find and allocated bottles, they will pass on excellent available bottles all day long

[@SuspenseGames]

I feel like every content creator loves Rare Breed and every group I'm in raves over Rare Breed. I don't think it's overlooked at all. It's just always available.

[@thinktwice8860]

Great job, Trenton on picking the competition! All of these are hitters! However, I can’t think of a Four Roses in this price range that’ll compete. I love Four Roses Barrel Proof, but it’s at least in the $80 dollar range. The Russell family are bourbon heroes, as far as I’m concerned!

[@N4JAB]

Ate his words haha! I bought me another WTRB this morning. Good stuff.

[@jdereknoyes]

Should have been a regular Maker's cask strength, 46 is a finished bourbon while the others are straight bourbon.

[@fredcasden]

So glad you did this show!

[@jacksampson3278]

Great show guys! So glad to see the results with WT #1 😀

[@prestonopp]

That was such a rollercoaster! I think my order would be MM46CS, 1920, WTRB, then Baker’s… but now I think I need to blind it to check. I would definitely add JD SBBP to the mix if you redo it though!

[@angrycorn6651]

The relief on Kurt’s face at the end there

[@batboy242]

Awesome, lineup, thanks guys for quality videos!

[@richdouglas2311]

Love it. Sipping on some Knob Creek Single Barrel 120p while watching this play out. Cool!

[@jackkeeton9318]

Absolutely one of your best videos! It was like watching a suspense movie or big game. I was on edge waiting to see which was picked and the reactions were priceless 😅. I'm a Wild Turkey fan so I'm happy with the outcome. Though I do like Beam products as well. You guys are me favorite reviews to watch. Thank you!

[@dickhernandez3191]

I just brought rare breed yesterday and it was smooth

[@dickhernandez3191]

I pay 70 dollars well the tax in Puerto Rico is 12%

[@melodyjohnsoncarron2869]

I can't imagine Kurt not knowing which one was the rare breed considering it's one of his favorites and basically daily drinker.

[@PeteQuad]

Woodford Double Oaked seems not too hard to get lately and it's at a similar price point. It deserves to be included in this blind.

[@ScottWhitley-jj1wd]

That's funny, as I was alternating sipping on Rare Breed and Woodford DO as I was watching this video (I don't have any of the other three). I would describe the Woodford, especially after a couple sips of WTRB, as "liquid butter tarts". The WTRB was more complex, hotter from the higher proof, and ultimately a bit better IMO. Both are excellent.

[@michaellutes2163]

I'm drinking the WR double oaked right now. It's good, but doesn't have enough proof for me. I like the Rare Breed better.

[@333emk]

Trentons face! I love Rare Breed, its always on my shelf. 1920 for me seems to vary bottle to bottle. Good but different.

[@jacksmith2315]

Awesome blind. I really want to try this. Im interested to see the results. My brother finished his rare breed bourbon (i have the rye). He has a bakers 7 and 1920 (i have 1910). I have the 46 cask strength, and my bottle is completely different than yours. Mines shorter, more squared, its a red label, but it definitely is 46 french oaked cask strength.

[@garycramer7866]

Well done guys. Rare Breed is my all time favorite as well

[@KillerofGiants99]

😂😂😂😂😂😂 LONG LIVE THE KING RARE BREED!!!!

[@andrettski8686]

I haven't tried any of these but want to get an OF 10 and 20 to see which I prefer. I have tried the standard MM 46 and like it. I will absolutely get a Rare Breed now just so I can have an opinion, obviously I hope I like it cause nobody likes wasting money. Great blind, thanks SLB

[@whatsthepoint170]

Trenton eating crow is truly a special holiday gift to the SLB subscribers! 😂 On a separate note, Kurt, I noticed a Yamazaki 18 making an appearance on the top shelf in place of Hibiki 21. I’m waiting for the review

[@Caleb_clement]

Congrats on the Rare breed T! Keep drinking wild turkey products and that lil bald spot will fill in!! Love you guys

[@stevemarks1176]

I want to say I enjoy your podcasts now going on several years! You keep it interesting and fun. Rare Breed is one of my favorites. Anything Wild Turkey usually does fine. Col Taylor is another favorite, so you might say Buffalo Trace offerings are also excellent. I have 1 bottle of Skagg Jr that only gets sipped on special occasions with my son. However, the purpose of this note is... I will be going to Kentucky with possible extension into Tennessee in March 2024. Can you recommend essential stops (which are your most loved Bourbon stops/distilleries)? Thank you and keep on just talking behind the bar!

[@bmc2567]

The look on Trenton’s face was great! 😂

[@ShastaCountyLand]

I'm not great at picking stuff out, but I think I would have gotten the MM46 as well. It is pretty unique tasting. I have all of them, and think I would have picked MM46 cask strength, WT Rare Breed, OF 1920, then the Bakers's. That said, they're all good. Great review. Thanks!

[@jaxcoop1511]

Looks like a lot of SLB followers will be in my store today for WT Rare Breed

[@Mcrichalot12]

Really loving the channel! Felt like I was hanging out with you guys! Had to pour myself some Rare Breed and taste along with ya

[@JimBandy]

Just about my favorite blind ever! Glad you guys agreed for a change.

[@davidrenner6112]

Great video! Congrats, Kurt, on the win! Trenton, that was an awesome fade out, dropping down after the reveal. I kinda got beat up on a comment I had made about flavor changing in a bottle over time. Commenter had doubted this change actually takes place. I feel that the OF 1920 may vindicate my position that flavors can change after the bottle has been opened. God bless you all, and I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

[@brmicmatthews8398]

I don’t care what anyone says, whiskey definitely changes over time. I know for a fact because it takes me months to finish one bottle. One of my favorite “cheap” bottles is 1792 small batch, and I prefer when it’s been open for at least a few weeks and the level gets to the words “small batch” on the bottle. So delicious. When it’s first opened its spicier/sharper than I prefer.

[@matthewsalazar3575]

Old Forester 1920 is my favorite of that grouping.

[@mihaistan1644]

Love love rare breed. Had 4 in stock picked up another in Canada at 49.99$ Canadian. Can’t beat that price

[@roymaddocks3184]

Fortunate. $68.15 in Ontario
