WT 12 year is number two. Its just mislabeled at the beginning as WT101.

Somebody needs to get these guys a new Russell's Single Barrell bottle. Apparently theirs was filled with toilet water by mistake.

My favorite distillery, everyone loves trace but most of these bottles widely available, reasonably priced and excellent tasting.

You might have to delete the channel after putting Longbranch above the 101 and Rare Breed haha Cheers lads!

Love this system to rank the bottles. Very entertaining!

Great video! Love this content and seeing how they all rank against each other.

Love it!!! WT 12 is my fav 🦃 pour

This is exactly what I expected. Just an incomprehensible ranking. I'm here for it

So did anyone else see the typo on glass #2? At 2:49 it says #2: WT101, but at 12:28 it says #2: Wild Turkey 12 Year. Maybe stick to Dan's suggestion of ABC instead of 123 😜😜

Im 3 seconds in and i already know this will be irrationally upsetting Edit: i was right

Nothing keeps you more honest than a blind tasting. Hope we can see more of these!

Great video! And glad to hear the background music is back, holds a lot of nostalgia

Great Review Thanks for the turkey day🥃🦃🦃

I truly appreciate the Bourbon 'nerdiness' from yall.

Great video yall, I'm a WT and russels fan all the way but my single barrel russels rock

You had 2 as WT 101 on the first way through and I was very confused

I enjoy the low-proof Wild Turkey. Perfect summer bonfire sipper.

Been wanting a WT video like this for awhile, thanks guys

"It feels like thats the Forgiven." You sir were absolutely correct! 😁

Funny how first time through #2 and #9 were both WT101, but in the playoffs #2 became WT 12yr. #ChemistEditing

Fun one guys. Thanks.

This was a great video guys. Missing Pour Guesses today tho...

#2 was mislabeled as WT 101 on initial taste.

This was a really good video!

Alright, alright, alright! I too was surprised at how good the Longbranch is, especially considering the low proof point and cost. I'll never get my hands on a sip or bottle of the high end WT products cuz I just can't justify multiple bills for a WT product, so the Longbranch is a goto for me.

I actually like Longbranch. I do wish it was like 10 higher proof. It's a solid bottle for $40 that is available basically everywhere which is great combination when someone asks what they can get me for x-mas or birthday and I know they don't have much whiskey knowledge.

Just bought masters keep revival. Fantastic.

I had the 81, for the first time, at a party. It was very good, I was pleasantly surprised.

I keep only a few bottles around all the time. What I've found is I can keep Woodford Reserve, Wild Turkey 101, Jack Daniel's, Maker's Mark, and Knob Creek. Those will pretty much cover anyone. I do like to keep Angel's Envy just for the people who never tried a finished Bourbon. It's a great product to start with. I do love the Smoke Wagon as well but it's not always around(cause I drink it). I also love to keep a bottle of Johnny Walker Black Label. I'm shocked by how many people who have never tried Scotch. It seems like it's better to start with Chivas Regal or Glen Livet with the Scotch. Those 2 have almost no smoke whatsoever. They are going to get the smoke with Johnny Walker Black Label (one of my friends told me it was like drinking the contents of an ash tray😂). You don't need high dollar bottles or special releases to share a great bottle with friends. Especially if they're new to whiskey. It's almost better to share and enjoy something they can pick up anytime they want. I do love to break out a rare or expensive bottle for occasions. But I've always thought that if you need that to enjoy a drink with friends, you're kinda missing the point. I've tried everything. I've lived in Kentucky my whole life and been a whiskey drinker for almost that entire time. I can honestly say that I'm not the least bit offended when someone pulls out $15 bottle of 4 year old Jim Beam or something similar to share a drink.

Wow 😂 did not expect that outcome.

Great video guy's, would like to blind that top 3 sometime!

I love these videos.

Love you guys, thank goodness you're funny!

It would be interesting if you went back a little while later and went backwards through the line to see if anything tasted different with so many samples. I just wonder how much was blown out after the first 4. Also I think we missed a great title here "2 Turkeys with Turkeys" 🤣😛 (Edit issue. I was confused at first because you had WT 101 on here twice. I laughed when you gave #2 such high marks. Now seeing it's WT12 it makes more sense)

Them not knowing what any of these are is actually hilarious

Love these lineup reviews.

One of the Seven Mysteries of the Earth is why doesn't Wild Turkey distribute the 12 year stateside?

Great line up. Awesome content. New favorite line: "dat, too expensive, burp-a-derp-a-derp".

Fun list. 101 finishing so low is no surprise to me.. all I ever get is cinnamon and hay/grass

Love me some Turkey! Great video and love the result. I was rooting for WT12 yr and was not disappointed. Have you guys ever had WT13yr? It's another Japanese exclusive and weirdly doesn't compare to the WT12. Part of it is that it's 91 proof, but it just isn't as rich as the WT12. Weirdly both of these are relatively available in Japan for about $50 (though that fluctuates based on the strength of the USD). Would love to try the WT13 with the RR13, but haven't got a bottle to compare.

A lot of people… including you all… dissed Single Rick because of the price. But I bought it and backed it up. It was my favorite Turkey release of last year and I LOVED the WT101/12 and the RR13 from last year. Last year was year of the Turkey. The WTMK was one of the better WTMK’s and is not in the Top 3.

Oh wow, some big upsets and surprises in here. Very surprised with the rare breed. Too bad it was a December 2017 batch and not the Feb 2022 LL/KB you guys loved.

Would have loved to see where RR13 would have ended up in this line up! Fun review! Thanks y’all

I 💯 love turkey 101 probably my go to bourbon more than anything.

I would be HAMMERED tasting 11 different whiskeys ☺

My fav part was when Sean realized how high you guys ranked Longbranch 😂. Now I need to try it. No surprise that Kentucky Spirit Sib beat Russell’s Reserve Sib…on average I like them better too.

I Never understood the hate for longbranch. It's a great summertime bourbon

1st round of #2 said "WT 101"; 2nd round said "WT 12 Year".

I miss so many things about Japan, but walking around the country with that WT12 in my backpack is what miss the most 💔 Great video fellas!

Since I’ll never find one, I make my own Forgiven with 60/40 of Rare breed Bourbon/Rye. Let it sit a month or so and its phenomenal!

hello dan and sean, hope yall are doing well

I'll admit, this video ruffled some feathers for me. Pun intended. Seeing RR Single Barrel come in last was blasphemous. One of my favorites along with their 10 year. Great fruity character on all of the single barrels I've had. Also I wasn't a big fan of Longbranch all the times I've tried it, so seeing it come ahead of classics like 101 and Rare Breed as well? That hurts too. But that's what blind tastings are for I guess lol. I keep a bottle of both Rare Breed and RR SB on hand pretty regularly at home. Some of my favorites. I usually have 101 as well but it's usually my go-to choice for old fashions, not for sipping neat.

Spoiler Alert: 1 Master's Keep Decades 150 > 154 2 12 Year 174 > 173 3 Russel's Single Barrel 20 4 Russel's Single Rick 148 > 174 5 Forgiven 86 6 Longbranch 132 7 Kentucky Spirit 134 8 Rare Breed 105 9 WT 101 58 10 WT 81 125 11 Legends 177 > 164

Laughed at the 'Penicillin" note for way too long lmao

Y'all need a control whiskey at the beginning lol. Something that you know what it is that's middle of the road so you can calibrate your scale before the blind lol. Like you could have used Russell's 10 as your control bourbon.

I was surprised Kentucky Spirit and Longbranch finished that high. 🥃

Awesome channel guys! Although I often wonder what you ate as kids because your palate are messed up haha.

Can you guys do a video on the Barrel King?

On first pass I think number 2 was labeled WT101

Oh....12yrs must be sweet spot for WT

If you can’t find Rare Breed Rye you best got your sweaty palms on her

Green 2x4 got me!! Would have loved to see where Russel's 10 year and 13 year would have ended up in this lineup.

Are we really not gonna talk about 81 ranking above Rare Breed?

Maybe do blinds based on where they are made, such as near Lubeyville, Wild Turkeys and Four Roses in Lawrenceburg, and Buffalo Trace and Jim Beam in Frankfort, along with other states like Still Austin in TX, if most big box stores sell it in your area.

When you take a corked Whiskey Bottle to higher elevation should you pop the top to relieve the pressure. If you think about it once you go higher in elevation it's the same thing as putting the contents Under Pressure now the alcohol vapor in between the whiskey and the cork will be pressing harder on the cork unless that pressure is relieved?

I wonder what you guys think about the WT 101 8 year. Maybe compare the normal 101 vs the 8 year vs the 12 year?

Sean: #6 Ohh Noooo. LOL I knew he would react to that one.

I just think of the words of Eddie Russell on barrel picks after 4 or 5 samples now you're just drinking lol

Aren't there multiple more Russell's? It seems odd to include multiple bottles that are long gone but exclude some of the still readily available ones.

Great video. Please do this with all brands!

Wow. The power of going blind is in full effect here boys! 😳😬Cheers y'all

You must have a bad bottle of RR SiB, because the two I’ve owned have been great. One was a store pick, but the good ole regular was good too. 🤔

i think long branch is good(not great but good enough) everyday sipper for bourbon fan but not wt fan 😅

I meant on first pass # 2 and 9 were labeled WT 101.

Russell's Single Barrel and wild turkey Rare Breed are the only two in this list that you need, especially in their price ranges. When two people's pallets are always so far apart, that's a problem. You guys aren't together on a lot of stuff.

So I don't know if you ate cuddlefish before this and ruined your pallet or in my experience there are radical difference in WT from having the most amazing Russel's Single to the crapiest ones and same thing with 101 etc...

I've found that the Russels have high variability. I had a pick from Total Wines that was one fo the best bottles I ever had and my Idaho pick.....was kinda terrible.

Longbranch is good! Everybody knocks it because McConaughey put his name on it. Personally, I don't think it's Rare Breed good, but apparently you guys do!

I have a CGF 12yr I purchased as a dusty in 1998... Cannot bring myself to open it

Great blind tasting! Wish you could have had Russell's 13 in it.

LOL. Glad I clicked on "more..." before commenting. "THEY DID 101 TWICE!!! WTF!!!"

What’s the series? Heaven Hill Beam-knob creek High west Smoke wagon Jack Daniel’s

"It smells, more..." (insert awkward tickling balls gesture) - Dan Shook - This had me dying

Russell's Reserve SB was last with 20. Do you guys just hate the taste of bourbon?

Personally ever since WT changed the bottle design the 101 isn't nearly as good as it used to be. Have blinded a new bottle vs and old bottle multiple times and it always tastes way younger and more grain forward than the old bottles. Even looking at them in the glasses the new 101 is much lighter in color as well

You had #2 as WT 101 in the 1st tasting. Then you had #2 as Wild Turkey 12 Year in the 2nd testing. Did WT 101 make the top 4 or no?

I love white label Russell’s, I get it for 32 bucks though. Seen it did 40, wouldn’t pay that

Damn, Sean headshot quite a few!

Y’all run out of RR13? Wonder how that would have done.

Love the video guys. You guys have become one of my favorite channels to watch. Would love for you guys to have a meet up and have a drink or two with you!

Gotta love what blinds can do to a bottle you weren't too fond of during the initial review.

Great... Top 3 you can't get and one of them they don't even make anymore....Can't wait to try them.... Have A Great Day Everyone 🥃🥃 in short the best Turkey their is are the ones you can't get....

Wish you had done the Russell's 10 year instead of the single barrel. Those single barrels can be hit or miss.

You two have now been anointed the "80 proof junkies". Please wear your title with pride.

No Russel's 13yr?

You guys skipped russels 13 because it was an obious 1st place or did you skip in order to invalidate the test so you could taste them all again?

Man, i dont think you guys like high proofers like you thought you did!

So glad a blind confirms my feeling that rare breed isn’t good. All I get is ethanol every time I’ve had it. So harsh, all burn, no flavor.

#2 & #9 are WT101?

Are you guys cleaning the pallet between drinks? If you're not I'd wonder what your profiles and ratings would be. Building on top of each has to have some sort of negative effect.
