All I can say is that I almost passed out when Trenton put Coke in that Old Rip Van Winkle. 😂

I don't even drink. I just appreciate the father son relationship.

As a bourbon fan, I would tend to agree with you as far as flavor goes. But I still would go Jack and Coke over the others because most every time I’m drinking that drink, it’s because I don’t want to get tipsy at some type of event and the lower proof helps me pace myself. This was a great video.

Once I tried Wild Turkey 101 and Coke Zero, that became my go to whisky cola drink.

I really enjoy Crown and Coke a cocktail, but also 4 Roses with coke is quite pleasant. If you enjoyed this also try ginger ale!

Ginger and bourbon changed my life and got me into whiskey. Great video as always

I've only been drinking straight whiskeys for a couple of years, but I've been drinking whiskey & soda cocktails for several years. My go-to combos are Bulleit Bourbon & Coke or Sprite, Crown Royal & Coke or Sprite, and Jameson & Dr. Pepper or Ginger Ale.

I was introduced to Wild Turkey by Texas, Oklahoma, and Missouri pipeline roughnecks when I was 19 and have loved it since. Though it was shots with that crew, I very much enjoy a Turkey, rock, and coke splash.. I’ll give Knob Creek 9 a look because of you and your son’s presentations. I love how you two are such good friends as well as family..

I saw the thumbnail, and still can't believe u mixed that with coke at the end.. you went all out on that one.. that's why we all appreciate you guys!

I did the opposite of this and did a blind to determine what is the best cola for cocktails. Mexican coke won

I have never been a fan of Jack & Coke, although I have had my fair share in my youthful ignorance. I always preferred Beam & Coke, which makes sense because on the odd occasion that I put Coke in my bourbon now, it is Knob Creek. Great video as usual!

You guys have quickly become my favorite Whiskey channel! WT101 is my favorite bourbon to put in Coke! Gotta try the Old Forester 100 in coke, Love it for the budget daily!

Trenton showing he absolutely understands the KZfaq algorithm and how to get a rage click by including the ORVW in the thumbnail lol

I prefer 7-Up or Sprite as a soda mixer for whiskey. I think it's cleaner in flavor which helps the whiskey shine. Coke competes too much for me. Great job fellas! Cheers!

I am new to bourbon and still have a young palette so I prefer a little coke in all my bourbons. I prefer 2 parts bourbon to 1 part coke. I am finding as my palette matures I am using less coke. I can still taste the wonderful bourbon flavors without the burn. My favorite with coke is Weller SR and Russell 10 year. Love all your videos!

I like Crown Royal and Sprite Zero. I like using the Sprite Zero because no sugar usually I use a 24 once cup fill it half way with ice and fill the whiskey to the top of the ice then proceed to put in the rest with the zero. I’m always at home when drinking like this and make it a rule if I’m driving I don’t touch a drop. Great video.

Makers and Sprite is actually my go to there. I find that sprite doesn’t mask the flavor of the bourbon as much. Especially with something as sweet an makers.

This was a great episode! Please do an episode of which bourbon is best for an old fashioned in both of your opinions. Thank you.

Just got into bourbons this past weekend and stumbled on you guys. You've been very helpful to say the least! And I love the father/son comraderie.

to me ginger ale brings out different flavors of bourbon, but I still never use anything over about $24 to mix. Lately my preference is an Old Fashioned or Bourbon with one small ice cube.

Three go-to mixers with Coke. Wild Turkey 101, Old Grand Dad BiB, and Evan Williams BiB. No way with Maker's. Four Roses yellow label also doesn't work for me. I'm curious about the Knob Creek and Old Forester, will give it a try. I won't try the Jack as that would require actually going out and buying a bottle. Fun video as is usually the case.

Made a Jack & Coke over Thanksgiving with Jack Daniel’s Bonded, a much more flavorful take on the original! Going to try the Knob Creek out!

A great flip to this would be as another eluded to - what’s the best cola mixer as you both agreed to Knob Creek 9 being the best overall. Is it domestic Coca Cola, Coke Zero, Diet Coke, Mexican Coke, Pepsi, Pepsi Zero, Fago, Walmart Cola, etc.

Old Grandad 114 and Wild Turkey 101 got me through my late 20s

I usually go with the Jack and coke with a lime wedge, I have never tried Knob Creek with Coke. Going to have to give it a try. Thanks for the content guys, great job as always!

Here's my blind guess: Old Forester 100. Coke is sweet and all the other whiskeys are of the sweeter variety. I think the Old Forester will balance better. Definitely an experiment to run at home!

KURT, TRENTON!!! This might be your best video EVER!!! I'm not much of a JD guy. BUT, 60 mil coconut rum, 45 mil Jack Daniels, 7.5 mil lime juice, 10 mil simple syrup, Shaken, over ice. One of my favorites!!! CHEERS!!!

The bullitt high rye with coke is my go to as well as Redemption high rye limited edition with coke they smoother but packs a punch. Great video as well.

On the rare occasion that I make a highball its Evan Williams black label and coke. New sub. Great channel. Cheers.

I personally prefer Dr. Pepper as a mixing cola at home. DP and WT101 has been my go to mix for a very long time.

I'm having a old forester 86 and coke watching this and lmao. Well done guys. I'm new to bourbon .. can't do it neat yet.

Kurt I took your advice from one of your earlier episodes. I use Old Grandad 114 for all drinks mixed with bourbon...always a great mixer. Another great video guys.

Love how Trenton calls his oldman "Bro". Classic

The Best Mixer with Coke I have found is the Buffalo Trace. The sweet notes of the Trace seem to blend with the Coke very well. I have tried the Knobb Creek and it was definitely enjoyable, but would rate the BT even higher! I got to commend you for trying the RVP with Coke, something we all want to see, but I must admit would be too timid to attempt.

Just stumbled across your videos a couple days ago and am really enjoying them. I started with Wt101 and coke 21 years ago when i was at the bar with my buddies every night, and about a year ago I switched up to the Kc 9yo and coke, love them both, and they are my drinks of choice, love your videos, keep them coming.

I tried the Knob Creek 9 with Coke the other night and thought it was great. Thanks for the recommendation!

I'm strictly a neat man myself, but I do thoroughly enjoy a little SLB Drinks with my whiskey. Also, the only Jack I like is the barrel proof single barrel. It is well worth the price. Would love to try the Coy Hill, but it's a rare gem.

This was another recent viewer suggestion and I appreciate you guys for jumping on it so fast, as you usually do! Kurt, I'm definitely surprised with all your extensive bourbon experimentation, this was your very first taste of old #7 Jack since it's so many people's beginner. You can always try the vanilla or cherry coke if either are flavors you really love in bourbon, I think I need to try Old Forester 1920 with cherry coke because I get prominent cherry from that one and I definitely love it.

Tasted Jack and Coke when I was about 12….. Dad had poured a drink, I came in from playing and was thirsty…. Haven’t drank it since! Drank Jim and Coke for a while. Now, bourbon with Ice only.

My go to is RC Cola and Royal Crown. (RC n’ CR) My second is RC and Blackened. I also feel your test should have been blind AND if you’re going to measure your liquor, then you should also measure your cola to stay 100% on your mixes. Always great content though guys.

Great video guys! You should also try a “smokey coke” and then try all of these whiskies mixed with either 7-Up or ginger ale.

Back when Eagle Rare wasn't impossible to find and stupidly priced, it was truly made to be paired with Coke. The vanilla tones were perfect. It was a 30 dollar bottle, so made sense and still wasn't bad on its own. A shame it's become a unicorn in most places. Of these I go with the 101.

That's a easy one for me..... Jim Beam black! Honorable mention to Knock Creek! Cheer's

Fun video! Started off with J&C in my younger years. Graduated to Crown and then Makers. Discovered Knob ten or so years ago and never looked back.

Having traveled much of the world, the one constant an American can find at any bar in Ishtar or any other BFE country is Jack Daniels Black Label. You're generally not going to find a good bourbon unless you bring it. Of course, the Knob Creek 9YO, Old Forester 100 & Wild Turkey 101 are all very fine pours. Cheers!

What a fun concept for a show! While the only thing I typically use Coke for is getting rust stains out of a toilet bowl, and , I haven't had Jack Black since high school 40 yrs. ago. In the summer time, my hot weather go to cocktail is typically a whiskey and Ginger Ale (or Ginger Beer) with a lime. My preferred whiskeys for this are usually Makers Mark or Seagram's V.O. Simple and refreshing, and I don't have to think too much about it. I will give it a go with the Wild Turkey, OF and Knob to see how those go with the ginger. Thanks again for another fun show!

I drink either wild turkey, old grandad bonded or 114, and my favorite is probably buffalo trace.

My first taste of Whiskey I liked, was Jack and Coke. My question 30 years ago was, Is that Whiskey? It is good! I had some Buffalo Trace with Coke yesterday, like that mix. It's not the same selection here in Norway, but you can order many brands. So good advice is appreciated, and often used. Thanks for your uploads. Greetings from Norway

That was fun! Do Ryes next! :-) It's probably not absolutely correct, but we call anything made from soda pop mixed with spirits a "highball". And my favorite highball is a 50-50 mix of Bulleit Rye and Diet Dr. Pepper, over ice. YMMV

MELLOW CORN #1 WITH COKE!!!!

Jack Daniels goes really well with RC Cola. It brings the full sweetness out of the soda..

It’s actually Jack. Sounds crazy because it is the cheapest but the charcoal makes it taste smoother and better with coke.

Nice video! Now you have to do the best bourbon with ginger ale, and 7-up. Call it the Soda Series. 😎

First of all , I started “collecting” bourbon about a month ago , I have a few sealed and a several more opened. My question or recommendation is I would love to see a video about the shelf life of bourbon once you break the seal and oxygen takes over , and what changes happen and how long does an open bottle last? Much appreciated, cheers !

First, thank you! I love the channel. Second, try using the following - good crystal-clear ice, and a "Mexican" Coke (made with Cane Sugar, not Corn Syrup). Jack is good, but Jim Beam Black has been my go-to for a long while now.

I had tried jack years ago and finally decided to try it neat. It was easy to drink and that’s about it. Tried the jack single barrel select and it blew my socks off! One of my favorite bourbons so far!

Old Forester 100 is a great option. That'd be my winner in that line up. I also like to use 1792 Small Batch or Woodford Reserve which was my go to for a long time. I don't like Wild Turkey 101 with Coke. I thought that would be a slam dunk, but I tried it a while back and really didn't like the flavor combination. Jack and Coke is not bad. I've had plenty of them and if I'm in some hole in the wall bar in a small town I usually go with that option. Overall I just think something with a higher Rye mashbill hits the spot for me. I need something to cut through the sweetness of the Coke so things like Maker's aren't my favorite with Coke. After watching the show I'm going to have to try Knob Creek and Coke. I think I've had it, but it was a long time ago. Also, one other recommendation I saw on another channel was to use Jack Bonded and that's pretty tasty as well. ***Update*** I wanted to try Knob Creek 9yr tonight, but crazy enough I don't have any. I swapped in Baker 7yr and it was quite good.

We need the egg nog version of this video.

I’m new to your channel and love the Father-Son relationship. Nearly 40 years in the Liquor store business, I’ve never had Jack Daniels either. Tried it the other night and didn’t finish it. I’m with your Dad on that. After watching this video, I poured me a Knob 9 and Coke, and it was delicious. I’m not a Coke fan, but it paired very well. Congrats on your success, looking forward to more videos you put out.

Time Stamps: 04:42 - Tastings 09:05 - Rankings

So glad I found this Channel IMO BEST BOURBON CHANNEL!!!! My pick after drinking loads of Bourbon: Single Barrel Cask Strength Jack Daniel's & Coke. It tames it just enough which allows you to really dial in the flavors of the JD. You know which notes are from the Coke so I know what to mute out. Coke with Proof Bourbons IMO works best for me vs water.

My top few “bourbon and coke” are: 1. Bullitt 10 year and coke 2. TX Bourbon Barrel Proof 3. Four Roses and coke. These are my go-to drinks and now are always on hand!

I have had all of these with coke. My order woukd be.... 1.Maker's 2.Knobe 3.Turkey 4.Forester 5.Jack.

Jack and root beer and captain and root beer are 2 of my favorites

Jack and Coke was my go-to beverage for a looooong time, until I saw a late night TV show host drinking whiskey neat on his final show, so I did the same. Changed my perspective on whiskey that night. Lately, I've mixed Bonded Jack with Coke and it was great. I've also enjoyed my share of rum and Cokes and my favorite spiced mixing rum is Sailor Jerry.

Jack Daniels bonded is a real treat. Give that a try. I like it neat or with coke.

Jacks number one for me, try Cown Royal its very smooth.

Personally I think the best with coke is knob creek but I also really like makersmark with a little mnt dew

woodfood reserve double oaked makes the best bourbon and coke. It is a higher price point for a mix but so good

My go to bourbon for mixing is Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof, available, and affordable at $30 for 1.75 liter.

Jim Beam doubles, still $1.99 at my local store. better price than any bourbon on the market even in larger bottle quantities

Great video. Surprisingly, Jameson cold brew and Coke is excellent...even though its not a bourbon.

I'm new to the channel I can just say I'm not a huge Coke fan but I love Ginger real With my whiskey and bourbon

jameson and ginger ale is the best soda whiskey mix! at least my favorite. try it, gents!

Loved your video, should try Russell 10 yr. Makes a delicious cocktail.

Dr. pepper and bourbon. tasty for hanging out with Friends or Family.

I prefer bourbon and 7up. coke and bourbon for me is too sweet. Need to do a video with best bourbon and 7!!

If you're in eastern PA use A-Treat Treat UP!! Best mixer ever! Yea anything in pappy but maybe a couple cubes should result in a door to hell opening beneath you right after pouring it.

Old Forester Rye, Sazerak Rye, and Early Times all are very tasty with Coke…. But i like to use Coke Zero

I have never met anybody else that has a preference for captain and Dr. Pepper. I go for the private stock captain when I'm feeling fancy. If I go coke it's with WT101.

Forget coke.. Jack D w/Canada dry ginger.. Excellent

I would say the Wild Turkey 101 and Coke would win. At least, that's what I tend to prefer. I'm a longtime bourbon drinker but only started drinking the occasional Whisky and Coke about a year ago. (Full disclosure: I never drank cola of any kind till about a year ago; it just never interested me.) But I do find there's something particularly special about a high-ABV bourbon with Coke (or Pepsi). Fun video, cheers!

I haven't had a Jack and Coke in a while, or really any bourbon with Coke. But it does fall into a broader category of highball, and I do enjoy a highball when it gets warmer out. My go-to is a mid-tier or bottom shelf bourbon (WT101, KC9, OGD BiB, etc) with a couple of splashes of bitters (Angostura for me, but I don't own many bitters) over ice topped off with club soda or seltzer (Bubly cherry if I'm going with anything flavored). Super refreshing, the bitters accentuate the bourbon rather than mask it, and quenches the thirst better than a neat pour. Anything with sugar or sweetener becomes too sweet for me.

Normally Jack Daniels With Coke ALWAYS. However I Did Have A Jack n Coke With Jack Daniels Single Barrel Single Proof (129proof) And It Was The Best Drink I’ve Had In My Life.

Jack Daniels is classified as a TN sipping whiskey. It actually does not meet the stringent standards as a Bourbon. It is definitely Bourbon adjacent.

I prefer Sailor Jerry and coke. But I like a Woodford and coke as well.

Another vote for Evan Williams, also good with RC Cola!

Evan Williams is my go to rail bourbon.

I know this one is a year old but, I am not a jack Daniels fan because of the charcoal. I did recently try JTS brown 80 proof in coke and I prefer that to JD. I have yet to try any old forester products which I believe are from brown-Forman. I do prefer just a neat bourbon pour vs a mixer. I’ve also got to retry on the rocks as I used to not be a fan it’s why I prefer a neat pour vs ice.

I drink a lot of Coke Zero (can't do the sugar), but I've never had it with bourbon. Maybe I'll have to.

Did the same exercise to help my wife pic her favorite. She ended up with Crown and Coke Zero. I drink my whiskey neat, cocktails, on the rocks or/or club soda.

I like my whiskey/bourbon and coke. I seldom drink it neat, sometimes with a piece of ice. Typically during the winter I actually like the warmer spice flavor of ginger ale. But then again. I'm not a serious bourbon drinker.

Gentlemen jack and coke is up there for me, I haven't had Old Forrester with coke it's the only one I haven't tried out of these selections

only thing I mix with coke is Rum, but a big Mexican mix in my families house is Presidente (Brandy) and coke. lol I like Honey Jack neat just to come home and relax without a cigar

Jack and Sprite is my go to.

LOVE Knob 9 in Coke and in Knob 9 Sours!

When I mixed, I preferred ginger ale. Jack and ginger.

TX is pretty good. Has a vanilla aftertaste that compliments the coke

Knob creek is a fav of mine with coke. Really enjoy it in an old fashioned. Especially the knob 12 😉

Great show!. couple of rookies there lol. You gotta go Bookers n coke. its a fave of ours at yearly fallow deer hunting in the Victorian High country or chasing Giant fish in South Australia. Yes Russels reserve single barrels n coke is a close second.
