  Speaker 6: We've got that covered.
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: This is the Scotchie Bourbon Boys 2023.
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: Bourbon of the Year, we're gonna blind.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Taste them to get it down to two.
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: We got it down from, I think this morning to 10, now it's down to six.
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: It was supposed to be to five, but we got it down to six at least, and we got six Bourbons that Barrelhead has poured us blind.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Thank you for that we don't know what's what.
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: And this is gonna take away all the preconceived notions, because most these Bourbons that we have in front of us all have preconceived notions.
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: I mean you know the taste of a Bourbon is influenced by how much time and effort you put into obtaining it.
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: There's also hype.
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: There's a lot of hype, of people talking price, that all goes into it.
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: And when you acquire it, I mean, I think that you kind of hook up your aura to that bottle and then when you first drink it, there's a certain aspect.
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: You're in a great mood, you acquired it, you want and you know, and so it affects your taste buds to some extent, plus you also sometimes.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: you've also heard already notes about what it's tasted like, what it's supposed to taste like and things like that, and so you know that's also influenced into it too, so that takes all of that away right.
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and we're doing this blind.
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: So to do it blind it takes it all away.
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: Like you said, all everything's gone, but also the aspect of you know, overall, we're gonna just pick it on what it's pure taste, smell.
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: Now, one of the hard things to do that on is you can like different types of bourbons.
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: I mean some people like sweet bourbons, some people like, uh, oaky bourbons, some people like, you know, everybody's got their thing.
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: So the way that we're gonna do this is we got six in front of us.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: We're gonna People don't like pepper.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: We're.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Yes, that's true.
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: I don't like pepper that eliminates taste.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Like it could be too peppery for me.
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: You watch it where did you see that?
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: I don't see that right.
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: Oh my God, how'd you get updated before me?
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: So, and again real quick to recap, recap what Tiny.
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: Sam we've got six.
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: So let's recap what we're doing.
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: All right Oceans.
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: That was Roxie's.
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: This was Roxie's pick.
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: This was a match 29.
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: It's the, the weeded mash bill, and we wish she was joining us, but she's just not feeling good in her pal.
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: It's nothing, so she's just happy with this.
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: Yep, hers is in.
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: This is going to be Mickters 10 bourbon.
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: This was Nash's pick Again.
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: Probably a more elusive bottle to get from people.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely Tough bottle to come by.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a tough bottle and a lot of people.
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: Out of the same distillery we've got whiskey pick bomb burgers 2023.
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: So that's a lot left in that bottle, a lot of bottles going quick.
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: You can tell that my pick was the single Rick House, camp Nelson.
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: This was a Russell's bottle that I actually got when I was down there and had Jimmy sign it, so that's a pretty elusive bottle for a lot of people.
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: That's a pretty cool bottle and that's probably the most I've spent MSRP on a bottle that wasn't hyped over, over, over, over Awesome.
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: Next we've got the dark horse that kind of came in is the Elijah Craig C923, which we've talked about already.
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: That was picked by so many people as bourbon of the year already.
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: It's gotten so much hype.
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: It is a tremendous bottle because it's a 13 year old batch which Elijah Craig started getting some criticism for being too low.
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: 10 year, nine year stuff.
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: This year they 13 and above.
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: And then the final one is a tiny's pick of bomb burgers.
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: This is bookers or bookers, bomb burgers, bookers.
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: This is batch three of this year, which is the mighty fine batch.
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: So we've got we've got some great stuff up here.
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: Imagine I picked the bookers.
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you, you've.
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: I mean it came down between the bookers and the Elijah Craig and I'm just telling you, when it comes to me, it's going to be bookers every time, but I do like the Elijah blind.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: You pick the book.
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: If you pick that, elijah Craig, I will be able to pepper that Elijah Craig in seconds.
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: I can't wait Okay.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: Damn it.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: I know you're so right.
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: Cause blinds have blinds have screwed me so bad.
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: I mean the time I tasted all these makers marks, you know bread, bread pudding, and one oh one and 46 and all this stuff.
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: And then all of a sudden I pick makers mark.
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, it was so carmally good, what the hell?
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: Come on, all right.
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: So let's go, we're going top right, top right.
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: So let's taste through each one, talk a little bit, put it back, then we'll all, amongst ourselves, taste through again, make up our decisions and then we'll order them.
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: And once they're in order, we will, we'll pick out each one, we their first ones and then we'll score them accordingly.
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: But the it really comes down to, we're going to order it one to six.
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: Whatever bourbon amongst the three of us has come in, now you have, you've poured some for yourself, right?
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: So you but this is implying for you you know what we're doing.
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: You're going to laugh your ass off when we're doing it.
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: And then, whatever's, the lowest number is first, and that's what we're going, and then second.
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: And then you were mentioning we might blind, first and second, but if it's, if it's, you know, three to eight, we're not blind in nothing.
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: Top right, top right.
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: I'm not going to try and I'm just going to taste and not try and find out what they are.
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: But it'll probably make us look better, because if we start guessing and then we're wrong, like we're going to be people.
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: This is, I think this has a banana note.
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: This is old forester.
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: There's no old forester.
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: This is just like birth birthday, bourbon.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Right down there, big boy, delicious evacuation.

• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Well, I thought I knew what two and three were.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: I had an idea about number one, but when I tasted number five, I thought I knew what number six is.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: I tried to switch them up from when we tasted them earlier to similarities, to really break them up.
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly what's happening.
• 15:33

• 35:59
  Speaker 2: That's number six.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: Elijah Craig was number five.
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: Okay, and then we go to eleven with no dot, no dot.
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: That was my second pick.
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: Say no dot.
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: No dot is eleven.
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: I was good.
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: That was my second pick.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: That was my third.
• 36:27
  Speaker 6: I think it was good Like sixth no, my no red dot was no dot.
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: No dot.
• 36:34
  Speaker 6: No, dot was my fourth.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: We.
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: So there we go.
• 36:43
  Speaker 6: All, right, now we go to number three, which nine, which is we did the yellowy.
• 36:55
  Speaker 6: Where.
• 36:56
  Speaker 6: So what was the the bomb?
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: burgers was no dot.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: Red red red.
• 37:07
  Speaker 6: All right, I think this is fucked up.
• 37:09
  Speaker 6: As far as dots, I need to actually give me a phone.
• 37:14
  Speaker 6: No, I needed lights, that's all I need is light.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: Where's your flashlight?
• 37:20
  Speaker 6: All right, so the number.
• 37:23
  Speaker 6: Okay, we're gonna start this again because, we're fucking it up.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so 14 is six.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: It's a green who wants a green dot.
• 37:31
  Speaker 6: Put bomb burgers back in there.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: Put bomb burgers back in there.
• 37:35
  Speaker 6: What was the green dot All right?
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: That's what I had is number six.
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: Okay, bookers was 14.
• 37:45
  Speaker 6: Then 13 was Elijah Craig.
• 37:51
  Speaker 6: I had five is the green dot and for me, I had blue, so green would have been five.
• 38:10
  Speaker 6: Two for green, all right now we gotta go back to green, yeah.
• 38:21
  Speaker 6: So then we came with no dot at eleven, and now we're at blue.
• 38:29
  Speaker 6: Blue dot no red dot is ten.
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: We mean okay, so that's the next one that would be four red dots is ten, red dot is ten, that is bomb burgers.
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: All right, so that's number four.
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: That's the fourth and nine, yeah, and then bottom two or mictor's ten, and oceans, and that's what I was thinking.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: Hold on.
• 38:55
  Speaker 6: Now nine goes to blue dot, to blue dot, which we already know.
• 39:01
  Speaker 6: We already screwed that up right Oceans, oceans, blue dot is oceans.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, see that one had a yeah, I could take, I could taste that woody.
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: And then yellow dot should have been your last.
• 39:16
  Speaker 6: Yellow is number one.
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: Yellow dot is number one.
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: Mictor's ten year bourbon.
• 39:22
  Speaker 6: So it was mictors and oceans for one and two, and we tasted them and they were damn close.
• 39:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah so yep, there we go, mictors ten year on a blind test with.
• 39:36
  Speaker 6: And then, initially, what was?
• 39:39
  Speaker 6: What was the yellow dot initially?
• 39:41
  Speaker 6: Was that mictors, no oceans?
• 39:44
  Speaker 6: Really, was the red slash.
• 39:46
  Speaker 6: So initially, just so you know, oceans is yellow right.
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: No, yellow is blue, blue is blue Blue is blue, yellow is mictor.
• 39:58
  Speaker 6: So initially mictors and oceans were my.
• 40:01
  Speaker 6: That was my two right there.
• 40:05
  Speaker 6: Those were my one and two and they were close and they even when we did it.
• 40:10
  Speaker 6: Now what what I found unique is that the oceans, when I compared the two when we did that, still had a stronger, a little bit more of an oak bite than the mictors, but otherwise the sweetness was the same Eric said this is hilarious.
• 40:28
  Speaker 6: Anyways, I think it's hilarious too.
• 40:29
  Speaker 6: But everybody, the scotchy bourbon boys this is live.
• 40:34
  Speaker 6: Bourbon of the year is mictors, ten year bourbon, fantastic, great job.
• 40:42
  Speaker 6: We put them up against, really, really good everything, all of it, to get to these six bottles was, it was rough, it was hard to do.
• 40:54
  Speaker 6: I mean, it wasn't easy.
• 40:55
  Speaker 6: I think this is the most well thought out.
• 40:57
  Speaker 6: So what do you?
• 40:58
  Speaker 6: Were tasting along with us.
• 41:00
  Speaker 6: What did you?
• 41:00
  Speaker 6: What were you thinking?
• 41:01
  Speaker 6: Knowing what you were tasting?
• 41:03
  Speaker 6: Were you laughing at us?
• 41:03
  Speaker 6: Kind of knowing what's going on.
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: I'll be honest with you.
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: Listening to you, it was the difference between all three of you were.
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: It was similar, but the ones five and six were so different.
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: That's that's.
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: That's what.
• 41:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean honestly, I knew the pepper I could taste.
• 41:28
  Speaker 6: Now I knew the reason that when it came to these five, the the bookers, the mighty fine batch is good but it's very strong and when you're, when you're tasting up against flavorful lower proofs not real opposed to a barrel proof.
• 41:46
  Speaker 6: It's like, unless you're just ready to go for barrel proof, the barrel proof can be overpowering, and that's kind of what happened in these these cases they're very, very bold bourbons.
• 41:57
  Speaker 6: But we're tasting side by side and you got to remember we drank a lot of whiskey today, so our palates are, and so I think the proof that the oceans and the, the mixtures, are up there is because our palates are probably a little fatigued and we could really appreciate the softness of the bourbon.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I totally agree, like I say, that I was mostly looking and going for what I could pull the flavors out of on these when I was tasting them, and that's why I was tasting, taking smaller sips and trying to cleanse my palate in between each one, and so when it got down to me, trying to discern between the six of them, that's how I came out with it.
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's you know, but they're all good in my book and was glad to obtain all of them.
• 42:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a, it's a tough thing to do blind, because you definitely you know you get.
• 43:03
  Speaker 6: So Robert Brown said he's never seen it at a store and I commented which one.
• 43:07
  Speaker 5: I'm not sure if he's talking about Mikters 10, or yeah, I mean Mikters 10, you will not see it a store.
• 43:12
  Speaker 6: The way to get Mikters 10 is at Mikters.
• 43:14
  Speaker 5: You got to go to.
• 43:15
  Speaker 6: Mikters Also.
• 43:17
  Speaker 6: There's chances to skid it at, like Kentucky Bourbon Festival or stuff like that, if Mikters especially next year, now that Mikters is gonna be selling at the festival.
• 43:27
  Speaker 6: So when you're talking, yeah, it's, it definitely was an order.
• 43:32
  Speaker 6: But you know, funny thing is is the top three Mikters and Bombergers is in one, two, and then you've got the oceans there at two.
• 43:42
  Speaker 6: Now I think if Roxy was involved that could have definitely changed the whole thing and you know whiskey that, but it's just.
• 43:52
  Speaker 6: This is what we had to do.
• 43:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he said the big one on the the end, next to the ocean.
• 44:00
  Speaker 6: Well, and then, robert, just so you know that oceans is really close to that, mixtures as far as a great bourbon and that is on the shelf, yep.
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, matter of fact, I picked up a bottle yesterday and saw it several different places here in Ohio, and I actually got the OHLQ single barrel version of it, and so can't wait to take it home and be able to enjoy four of it.
• 44:30
  Speaker 4: One through six.
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: No matter what I mean, the order is still solid pours.
• 44:37
  Speaker 6: So anything that made our top six of what our group had picked, I thought they all were formidable.
• 44:44
  Speaker 6: I mean there was some other honestly, this morning, when we were doing our holiday podcast, there was a couple in there that were what would you say, underdogs or outliers, but when it came down to it, we were picking and we picked.
• 45:00
  Speaker 6: You know, this is a bourbon lineup that anybody if you, this is what you could drink in an evening.
• 45:08
  Speaker 6: You are drinking some damn good bourbon, absolutely.
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 45:14
  Speaker 6: So none of them were losers.
• 45:15
  Speaker 6: I mean they were all here because they were winners.
• 45:17
  Speaker 6: It's just we put them all together to see which one was the which we felt was the best, and I mean honestly CT's and R.
• 45:25
  Speaker 6: I mean that just tells you the difference drink what you like.
• 45:28
  Speaker 6: And the difference of palettes is like CT's picking the Elijah Craig as number one, and me and Nash got it at six.
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: Our bottom then.
• 45:38
  Speaker 6: But you know, but that's, that's where you are in your bourbon journey and anytime, we're just here to for a guidance a little bit, to show you the different stuff that's there, Tell you what we think is good.
• 45:49
  Speaker 6: But if you never have any difference in what it is what you think is good, then you have to drink what you like.
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and one other thing I'd like to throw into is these are all bottles that we were able to obtain during the year.
• 46:02
  Speaker 6: There were so many more out there that you know, although there's not very many people obtaining that.
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: That Rick House, yeah, I mean, you know, and like I say, these were ones that we were fortunate enough to obtain and be able to drink and be able to pull out of our collections to bring up here to try to pick our bourbon of the year.
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: You know, it might not necessarily be your bourbon of the year or what you've been able to obtain, but this is just what we were able to obtain this year and something that, like I say, that we put together and do and just to try to give you all a little bit of information and put out there for you.
• 46:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think this is the blind thing is something that's always fun to do, whether you do this at home with friends or, you know, even if you're just at home and your spouse and you have somebody line up three bottles that you've never drank.
• 46:56
  Speaker 6: That's a barrel proof.
• 46:57
  Speaker 6: Would you like some C923?
• 46:58
  Speaker 6: Heck yeah, I do.
• 47:00
  Speaker 5: But you know, it's a great way to to shock yourself a little bit, because I've done this.
• 47:06
  Speaker 5: Friend of mine brought a bottle that he was guaranteed I'm picking that bottle and he picked absolutely not the bottle he brought.
• 47:14
  Speaker 5: And it's, it happens.
• 47:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, but it is a good way to bring out flavors without, like we said before, without being swayed by price or availability.
• 47:26
  Speaker 5: It's truly a palette.
• 47:29
  Speaker 5: test you know, and not that it's right or wrong, because everybody's is unique and different, but it means that my palette chose this, or your palette chose that, or my nose chose this, because your nose does a lot of it.
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: Right and I could have swore that that I was pulling that, that single Rick House, up to be one of my one or two picks.
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: I did thought that the tenure was going to be in the one or two, but I thought that single Rick House was going to be one of my one or two, but it wasn't.
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: I think it was just like yeah, it did, it's a lot softer, that's that's one of the fun things, like you said about doing it blind.
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: The no.
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: It just makes it that much fun, is it the no label?
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: So yes, Anything else you like to add.
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: I think this, no, I mean overall.
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's exactly that.
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: I did think my one or two was oceans.
• 48:20
  Speaker 6: I did, I did have a feeling, but I was and see, I put oceans as five.
• 48:25
  Speaker 6: Right, I didn't like it as right.
• 48:27
  Speaker 6: You were the opposite, yeah.
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: That was the first time I'd ever tasted oceans, the oceans First time ever.
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: It was today, yeah, in this blind.
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: So I had no concept of what it tasted like anyway, so and that's what it come out to be.
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: So that just gives you an idea of how it can go.
• 48:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this was probably my two Cool, let's see.
• 48:52
  Speaker 5: I mean it's a it's definitely interesting to go through them and try them and yeah, and get a perspective from totally different, totally different perspective.
