white shirt makes it so much easier to see how dark each one is. never thought about that before

lol. This is like a SNL cold opening. 😂

This is an instant classic. Trenton’s antics add so much to this show. Watching Kurt’s reaction is priceless 😂😂

I like how Trent went from not wanting to be on camera… to this lol

Beekeeper here! If you don’t bother them they won’t bother you 😂 that said, I get stung all the time! I also finish bottles in my own honey barrels

This is the most wholesome channel imaginable.

Being in Metro-Detroit, I've gone through 2 bottles of the Detroit Distilling Honey as I prefer sweeter finishes and flavors. The honey is harvested from Bee's in the D which is a non-profit that works with local businesses to place bee hives on the rooves of several industrial and other buildings all over Metro-Detroit! Also, that same Distilling company works with a co-worker of mine to add bourbon to his BBQ sauce. Also delicious!!!!

You guys are genuinely the reason I am sincerely enjoying hunting bourbon now. I always liked whiskey, never really purchased bottles. You two are the best I swear lol. Trenton, don't ever change dude.

Bourbon Queen here. Trent cracks me up! I've got the GA bees knees III and love the honey funk on the nose and palate. It's 4 yr Bardstown & 5 yr Green River blended and finished for at least 120 days. The toast is from the honey barrels. 3 were medium toast, 3 were Kelvin heavy char toated. The barrels are reblended & bottled. They use local honey barrels that vary by state. I'm a GA native and darn proud of the SB team.

These guys keep getting better every time I watch, Kurt’s facial expressions from Trenton’s antics are priceless! 😂

I love the graphics on the thumbnail and the bee suit…Funny.

Short Barrel, located in Norcross, GA, is doing some very interesting things in blending and finishing sectors. My newest local store just went down last month and made its very first store pick barrel of an 11-year old bourbon at 118.2% proof and we are all excited for the bottles to come to the store. While we were there, they showed us some barrels of bourbon aging in Buffalo Trace barrels that had been sold for use in aging some imperial stout beer before being shipped to Short Barrell to put some of their product in them.

I have been a Beekeeper for over 40+ years. We have between 300 to 400 Beehives. I have never heard of any Beekeeper that store their honey in wood barrels. We use 55 gallon Food Grade coated barrels with a plastic barrel liner.yes the hood can be removed from the bee suite.

I have bought so many bottles because of you two. Keep up the good work !!.

Good to see Detroit City Distillery getting some exposure. This year's batch was sweeter then the previous years. I also have the 2020, 2021 and they are better balanced overall. The last couple of years weren't as sweet.

Omg Trenton! You look like Rick Moranis in “Honey I Shrunk the Kids”. 🤣😂

Trenton in the bee suit! 😂🤣 I fairly often get a honey note from bourbon. It'd be interesting - and weird 🙂 - to see what would happen to a bourbon that gives me a honey note if you finished it in a honey barrel. 11:12 When I was in my teens my dad had bees for a while. I used to sit in the grass about 10 feet in front of the hives and watch the bees going in and out. Never once did a bee touch me, though they'd fly by so close I could hear 'em right next to me. 🐝🙂 15:11 I sometimes get buttercream icing from bourbon.

Thanks for the video! Starlight again holds its own. You should know Garrison Bros makes a well regarded (expensive) one, and there is always Jack Daniels Honey which would have been interesting.

The Augusta Bourbon Society toured the Shortbarrel Distillery in Atlanta Georgia in January. Several outstanding offerings along with their Old Fourth Distillery too.

Love the inclusion of Bloopers in the episodes. Also, love that the glasses are back on the Bar Top! Ooooweee

My grandfather had bees. The honey was darker and seemed to have a richer flavor than processed honey. Very good stuff.

Kurt, your reaction to the Nulu price is exactly how I feel about them. Some better than others, all seemingly a bit too pricey for what you get. At least they kept it in the barrel for a while vs the 1-4 weeks for their toasted release! Cheers.

I like how Trenton had to take a quick check to see if he had drawers on 😂😂

I want to see a bunny suit for Easter bourbon dinner pairings 😂

Don’t know if you guys have been doing it for a while, but I love adding the approx price when you list what’s being tasted. Brings in another perspective, especially when there’s this big of a disparity.

Detroit City sounds like it would make for a super 'Hot Toddy' for a cold or flu. Strong tea, big shot of D City, lemon.

The BEST thumbnail in SLB history!

Trent should wear that all the time. You can really see the color of the whiskeys.

I am a beekeeper! I had a really nasty hive one time I had to wrap myself with a tarp. His thin suit wouldn't work very well!

Beekeeping is awesome! My grandfather kept bees for over 40 years and I have been for the last 10, a lot more work than collecting bourbon. Great video! 🐝

I grew up in Detroit and enjoy that Detroit City Distillery. I like that they work with a local non-profit to acquire their honey. If you get a chance grab taste the bourbon honey from Bees in the D. Goes great on biscuits!

Interesting how the color of the bourbons looks quite different against the background of Trent's beekeeping suit. I think it is actually a much better way for us, the viewers, to see the color. Although I'm not suggesting that Trent wear this suit every time.

Trenton, you are so dang funny and the look on Kurt's face as the camera started to record was priceless. You two always are fantastic in your reviews and blinds.

What a great video! I taught “honey” and had a guest speaker for bee-keeping in my Feasting and Dining In Antiquity class this week, so I shared this video w my students on my Canvas site! What a delight!

The intro 🤣🤣🤣

Love the show! You guys have older bottles in with newer ones, that is not fair. The taste of those bottles that have been open more than a few months will have oxidized some what and will not taste as good as a new one would. It would be so cool for you guys to include the knowledge of oxidizing vs a bottle open just a couple weeks. Please! I would love if you guys started including this in your process. Thanks again. Cheers!

The screen is flavorless!! Bro, funniest line in SLB history.

Fun fact about the Bees Knees, they release it in 3 states; Tennessee, Florida, and Georgia, each state has a unique blend, and exit proofs, that is then finished in honey barrels from honey producers in that state.

Now you need to do a mead show to understand fermented honey tastes better

I should NOT be laughing this hard! The intro of Kurt just looking into the abyss and Mr. beekeeper coming out of NOWHERE hahaha

Trenton, You crazy! 😂 It's got a DEATH note to it. THAT's a new one!

Another awesome video guys. Kurt’s face was priceless. Thank you guys for laughs this morning great start to my day. I hope that you and your family have a great weekend.

The first 20 seconds put a genuine smile on my face. Thank you for your wonderful content! You are a beautiful family 😊

Trenton looks like Rick Moranis in that 😂

The Detroit City is excellent - kinda surprised by the results here. Also, EverNorth just did a honey finished bourbon that's killer. Cheers guys!

My only experience with Honey barrel finished is a Dad's Hat Rye finished in local honey barrels. It has a almost syrupy thick mouth feel. Sweet up front but then fades into the rye spice leading into the finish. Not a everyday pour but when you want sweet, it hits the spot.

I'm fortunate to live down the road from Shortbarrel and Bees Knees is my favorite bourbon. They do some amazing blending and finishing. Their cigar blend is coming out this month and it's freaking amazing

I don’t think I’ve laughed this hard in a long time. There was no nip slip 😂

Short barrel is a really solid bourbon. I have had several different offerings from them and they always taste great and blind well.

Kurt has the patience of a saint…

Thank you for posting this video with that intro. Made my morning

Bees Knees III is so good, had to get a backup when I visited Sarasota Liquor Locker last weekend.

I absolutely love the Garrison Brothers Honeydew, gets a lot of hate, but I can crush it, especially in the summertime.

Love these videos! As a newbie, it helps me to navigate through the clutter.

I have the Bee's Knees II & III both are excellent to me but I would have to go with II bc the proof is higher with a lot of flavour and finish too it. The Bee Keeper suit is phenomenal. You guys keep the bourbon community on its toes. Thanks for all you guys do.

I thought it was odd the video started with Trenton off screen, then he walked in and I lost it 🤣

Trenton with the best end of show nod ever

Petition to bring back SLB Tries

Kurt’s wheezing will always get me 😂

Nelson Bros. Honey Cask is a must try. Finished 6-8 months in honey barrels. 107 proof. May only be available at the distillery thought.

GUYS! RED-LINE HONEY CASK FINISH!!!! absolutely excellent 😊

West Fork Whisky Company, in Westfield, Indiana is releasing their bourbon finished in hot honey barrels this weekend. Only 50 bottles available at this time. 🥃

Love short barrel! Adam is amazing and so are his whiskies !

A death note! I lost it! 😂😂😂😂

If it's bourbon before it enters a finishing barrel it's still bourbon. Nothing is getting added to it. And I love this episode. I've been wanting to dabble in finished bourbons and honey is tops on the list. How about a maple barrel episode now. Trenton you are too much. LOL

This program has progressed into a cartoon. I love it

Man the short barrel is a banger! We got a local Tennessee release and put it up against a store pick and man!!! Great review guys.

"I'm committing to the bit" ...my new catch phrase.

I have the ShortBarrel Bee’s Knees III and Nulu Honey Finished. 🥃

Background music...Bee suit...less candy...lots going on today. So entertaining!!

"The screen is flavorless" instant classic!

Loved this video. Honey finished is my jam. Only have had the Starlight though. Haven't seen any of the others. Recently got a Three Cords Honey. Still have yet to Crack it open. Great job guys.

Love the bee keeper outfit!🤣

Great show!!

Shortbarrel is doing some really good stuff. Great guys as well. Pretty awesome that they got reviewed by you guys. They have a maple vanilla finish that is also amazing

Brilliant 😂 really enjoyed this one, great Friday night entertainment here in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Another great one (and local here) is wood hat Queens reserve. Unfortunately it is distillery only but man I’ll try to grab one whenever I go by it!

Short Barrel does some good stuff. I just picked up a Green River finished in a toasted 4 roses barrel.

Thank you guys for putting the names and prices!! You guys Rock!!

I always keep a bottle of Starlight Honey finish on the shelf. I really enjoy it.

I have the Hubers and love it. I also have one from Woodford and it is horrible absolutely horrible. I would like to try the Bees Knees if I could find it , great video as lays!

I've said it, and I'll say it again. This is the best damn whiskey review channel on the tube. Pure authentic and genuine. CHEERS 🥃

Three Chord makes a toasted honey that is excellent as well. Dont sleep on it!

Drinking Bees’ Knees III now and I hope it wins, so good. 😅

Cheers boys. Just picked up a bottle of sagamore rye double oaked. The first rye I've tried . Sal Skol , slainte , tainte , and Nostrovia ! Love you guys .

Absolutely love the video and so glad you did the honey finished blind. I've been waiting to see this done. I'm curious how Garrison Brothers Honey Dew would stack up against the others

How about you create us a honey finish summer cocktail Kirk! Great video guys!!!

Enjoy watching the show guys keep it up. What’s your thought on Basil Hayden (Toast) compared to Blanton , Eagle Rare , etc.

I understand why finished whiskeys are never “cheap” but why are all exclusively honey finished seemingly even more? Had a Garrison Bros years ago and was quite the splurge, but was hella good.

Trenton taking that hood off had me rolling.

I love the thumbnail on this one LOL

My only honey finish is a ragged branch honey finish at barrel proof. It was a distillery only limited release. It is so dark in color and really rich and delicious

Excellent!! I’ve had the Starlight as a pick from whiskey Willys in Tampa VERY GOOD will have to try your # 1

Shortbarrel is in GA. Bees Knees is great....have two bottles. If you can find it $110 in Atlanta.

I have the Short Barrel Bees Knees. It's great when I want something a bit different

that look on Kurt's face looked like narcolepsy at first then it was revealed to be sheer will power to not laugh at the ridiculousness

The burning question is whether Trenton already had a beekeeper's suit, and if so, why?

great video, one question and comment: (1) You should use the Detroit bottle in a gold rush cocktail, would probably be a nice honey bomb to go along with lemon juice (2) Maybe I missed it, but overall is it worth picking up a honey barrel in general? understand this is pretty dependent on everyone's flavor profile. I definitely wouldn't drop $150 for that NULU bottle.

The Wild Turkey American Honey is good, at 71 proof, it’s a little sweet, so I add a bit of water to it.
