I, for one, am not concerned about video length. I'll watch all of it.
Always watch at 1.5 or even 1.75. Absolutely LOVE Kurt and Trent - they're by far my fave whiskey channel - but the guys talk too slow and include a lot of fun but irrelevant stuff. So I get to listen to their superb bourbon intelligence in a reasonable amount of time. 😂
This one is totally 2x-able
One Hundo amigo, I agree.
If I don't watch it all now, I'll watch it later. At just over half an hour, this one's about perfect for my lunch break, but if it went on longer I'd just finish watching it after work or tomorrow.
I don’t care what they’re talking about. The longer the better. 35 minutes of slb to start off my day means it’s going to be a good one.
Every time Trent says something like "I've never eaten a _____" or "I don't like ____" I can't help but wonder what kind of childhood he had LOL
I think he grew up playing in a trash dump. Always saying this one smells like an old moldy paper bag or this smells like rotten asparagus. This one tastes like chewed bubble gum that you find on the bottom of your shoe. This is definitely old mattress that aged in the sun 🤣
@@donfingers3320seeing as they are in the drywall business (at least I’m pretty sure) maybe he spent a lot of time running around job sites lol
THE LONGER THE BETTER
Another fantastic video guys, and I particularly enjoyed the tangents, keep em coming!
Finally. Double Oaks are under appreciated in my opinion
Whiskey aside for a moment, I agree with Kurt about not caring for the new country music. Give me Wille, Waylon and the boys! And throw in a tumbler of some of that Sagamore Double Oaked!!
Plenty of good modern country, you just have to look past the super popular stuff. Tyler Childers, Colter Wall, Sturgill Simpson, Charley Crockett, Jason Isbell, and Hayes Carll are all great
@@connorwilson4799agreed...to find good modern country you have to get off and awayfrom the country radio stations
@connorwilson4799 You are probably correct about that. For current music I lean more towards bluegrass like The Price Sisters, but I just love good music....and bourbon....
Amen👍🏼🥃🪕🎻
@@connorwilson4799 I'd add Billy Strings to the list
A long double oaked blind vid from SLB on my day off?? Yes sir
Keeping the bottle they’re trying on the screen is a GREAT IDEA! Thank you!
Thank you to taking your time with this one. I am a double oak "junkie" and have or have tried many of the ones you had in this blind, especially the Sagamore Rye! I paid about $130 for the Peerless DO Rye and love it but still would choose the Sagamore DO Rye for two reasons: 1) I love it, and 2) it is half the price of the Peerless!
FYI - The Peerless DO Bourbon is still selling for about $83 in San Antonio, TX when available.
Sagamore DO is a great pour.
Love the $30 Wheel Horse best the $100 bottles
Crittenden’s DO won my blind.
Sagamore DO is crazy good.
A fun blind! Enjoyed all the nonsense. Perhaps that bottle of Peerless DO was left on top of the trash can or on Trenton’s back seat for a few days? Can’t believe it was last. In some respects it’s a blessing. It’s hard enough to find a bottle. Imagine if it came in first
It's my fave DO, but sadly the last time I had some it was off. I'm only about 1/3 through the bottle.
@@caninedivine that’s unfortunate 😩 Makes you wonder about mishandling at the store or in shipping. Perhaps it was a rare bad batch. Sorry to hear you got a clunker bottle. I had been searching all over for a bottle. I ended up finding a bottle while on vacation (at a grocery store!) and had to rearrange luggage to get it home under the weight limit. It’s a fabulous bottle. 108.4 proof Cheers
The Peerless, coming in last, really surprises me. I like it a lot. But, the Sagamore coming in first, doesn’t. It’s fantastic!
Shakes are good, Kurt, but malted shakes are even better!
Great work Kyle, the unsung hero. Love the graphics work! Video length is fine, love the banter.
Just picked up a Woodford Reserve Double Oaked. First time having and first double oaked. Dessert in a glass. Really fun getting into Bourbon, beer being our wheelhouse of course! Cheers gents 🍻
Congratulations to the entire crew on hitting 150K.
The Peerless DO is one of my current favorites! Picked up a few at $83.
that Sagamore DO is great been keeping a bottle on deck since last year!!
These guys entertain me more than any whiskey podcast ..FULL STOP!….thank you….
Double oaked finish might be my new favorite style - really looking forward to this.
I’m interested to see how the ceiling cam works. For me, adding the bottle images helped to follow this immensely. I’m not surprised on peerless. Very tannic, especially on the finish
I love that you guys leave content in like the first 20 seconds instead of editing it out. It's hilarious and real life 🙂 Good job fellas 🙌
Definitely do not apologize for your video length/time. Also I’m a new subscriber but a long time Bourbon enthusiast. I’m pleasantly surprised to recently find a CZcams channel that aligns with my interest in great American Bourbons. Thanks for your input. I love the backdrop and would love to hear what bottles are behind you guys.
Sagamore DO was described at the distillery as "a bourbon drinker's rye." I concur. Both me and my partner picked up a bottle. Damn fine juice!
Yup, and then I picked up extras!
It is so much fun to watch y'all. 😍
20:06 Y'all take however much time y'all need. If I wanted videos that rush to the end in just a couple of minutes I wouldn't be here. 🙂
28:07 I would've thought that uncontacted Indians in the Amazon jungle would know who Willie Nelson. There are people who've never listened to country music in their lives who know Willie Nelson. Next Trenton'll tell us he's never heard of Hank Williams. 😱
When the fun goes on longer for you, the fun goes on longer for us.
Echoing most others here, the longer the video the better! Gotta have something to watch in the background and I'd rather it be you guys.
Congrats on 150k! Well deserved.
The uncut videos are THE BEST
Y’all don’t worry about video length. Go with the flow! Love content fellas…keep it up
Video wise - the longer the better! I’m here for you two, and the whiskey is just a bonus. Plus, Trent and I are very much cut from the same cloth, so the more tangents he has, the less I feel like a psychopath
i did a double oaked blind with peerless batch 10, starlight, nulu store pick and woodford. the peerless was a clear winner for me with woodford 2nd pl followed by nulu. the starlight just ran harsh against the rest. i have the peerless batch 13 now and will be the test again to see if the order changes.
That's crazy I have the same two Peerless DO batches as you...I love them both
Absolutely LOVE the longer videos. Especially when you guys are enjoying yourselves like you did in this video. So great. Happily surprised on Sagamore’s score. Love that bottle !!! Please keep up the great vibes. Cheers

Thanks for doing this on every video... first thing I do is search for it and read through your segment descriptors.
You both need the SLB longhorn skull tat.
WILLIE NELSON is LEGENDARY!!!! What is happening here!!! Trenton stop smelling your shoes on camera!
Trenton you are NOT living. No shake. No shake. Whatttt!!
Great video! I can see the Toasted and Rye maybe overtaking the Peerless, but please do a short blind of Peerless vs 2XO before using the results... just to be sure that perhaps the blind didn't change the palette somehow - maybe the rye made the 2XO taste better right after, or the Wheel Horse made the Peerless taste worse.
Yes having a rye in the tasting made me discount the whole thing.
I did a tasting at Peerless distillery earlier this week and really liked the double oaked. I ended buying a single barrel bottle from them that was just awesome. All their stuff is higher proof and very small production. I highly recommend giving them a try.
Trent, my son is 21, he knows Willie Nelson.
"Blue eyes crying in the rain" is a good start.
Because I looked them up anyhow I thought some others might like the info...
Peerless Double Oaked - 109 Proof - MSRP ~ $80
Fiddler Toasted - 119 Proof - MSRP ~ $70
Wheel Horse Toasted Barrel - 101 Proof - MSRP ~ $42
2XO Innkeepers Blend - 104 Proof - MSRP ~ $100
Sagamore Double Oak Rye - 96 Proof - MSRP ~ $60
At the distillery I paid $134 for Peerless! 😢
It may have gone up, I was using an App to look them up, but I did see it for 90-100 2 weeks ago in a couple shops. (glad I didn't buy)
The Peerless is the only one of the flight I’ve had and I thought it was fantastic. Very rich and flavorful, if that finished last then I need to have the others
Not normally a rye guy. Watched this episode last night and coincidentally stumbled across a bottle of the Sagamore Spirits Rye Double Oaked today. It is fantastic! Probably would’ve never bothered with it otherwise so thank you for content that helps me broaden my horizons. 🥃
Kurt, I knew you were a Southern gentleman at heart despite not having the accent. Your appreciation for Willie simply confirmed it. Have y'all considered doing a round up of Tennessee whiskeys, meaning actual Lincoln process whiskeys, not necessarily bourbons made in Tennessee? Keep up the great content!
That double oaked rye from Sagamore is fantastic, my second rye after OF100 and it's much better as a neat pour.
Super happy with this video. I love double oaked products, but I know of so few of them. Hoping to hunt down some more :) The Peerless Double Oaked is, in my opinion, very good, but $20 too expensive. It has some great tasting notes, but it just doesn't have the push I want out of a $100+ bottle. Peerless do have a double oaked rye that is fantastic. Highly recommend if you can find (and afford) it.
I get Peerless 2oak for $92 in Charleston SC. It’s wonderful, I think your taste buds are off today. The Sagamore is great though.
I for one love the longer videos!!!!
For the first time a favorite of mine comes in last...I really enjoy the Peerless DO
I absolutely love Peerless DO and Toasted. They need to try a different bottle.
Same here...either their palates were off or they got a bad batch
I'm with you on this Peerless DO bourbon win my last double oak blind with 6x different DO.
Peerless DO is amazing
I was at a bottle share a little while ago and had Peerless DO for the first time. Back then I said it wasn't as good as the Woodford DO, especially at nearly double the price. So this doesn't surprise me much. I am pleasantly surprised at the Sagamore taking first!
The Peerless Double Oak Rye you guys picked for Bees is money!
Trent wearing Apollo's shirt from training Rocky on the beach? AND he got one for Kurt too?!? HELL YEAH, LET'S GO!
Have loved watching these vids since I discovered them over a year ago
you guys are on a roll tonight!! Even my wife, who is sitting a few feet away, laughed at Trenton and said "man he's on a roll tonight!!"
LOVE all Sagamore products - happy to see it getting some love here!
Of course the Sagamore came in first. That bottle is spectacular
Love the vids regardless of length, so long as it's you guys just being yourselves and going over the pours, that's what we're here for!
Gotta agree, neck pour is very real. Every whisk(e)y differs in terms of how much they change after opening up, and how long it takes to really blossom, so there might be one here or there for whom the neck-pour vs a nicely opened pour may not matter as much. But man it's real. Drives me crazy when a channel opens a bottle and judges it on that first pour. It's just not fair. So thank you for not doing that!!!
That's because the proof must lower once opened and the alcohol evaporates.
@@nitoxys2564 Hmmm . . . never heard that theory before and I'm honestly skeptical as the environment plays a big role in whether alcohol or water evaporates first. Famously, alcohol evaporates before water in Scotland, whereas the opposite happens in the Southern US, which is why older Scotch almost always have lower proof than older Bourbon (which actually get stronger with age). The leading theory is the effect of oxygen on the whisky (oxidation). Perhaps oxidation causes a reduction in alcohol concentration? But I'm not sure . . .
@@skramzy6628 I don't believe a word of what you're saying here
@@sn1000k I gotta admit, that's an erudite, informative counterpoint. It's making me question my years of experience to the contrary.
@@skramzy6628 cheers
The Sagamore Double Oak Rye is my house rye, used for all my rye-based cocktails. Love it!
I toured the Sagamore Distillery for my last birthday, where I tried the Double Oaked for the first time and immediately fell in love with it. I'll echo the thought that it gets better as it sits, the nose too. Already on my 2nd bottle since January, hope it does well on Friday.
20-30 or so minutes is usually perfect for me. If you go longer or shorter by 5-10 minutes I will never mind and will watch it all regardless. Loving the new graphics too - double oaked bourbons are the bomb.
Love this blind fellas & big fan of the channel! Kurt was spot on with that 2XO bottle when he mentioned the rye notes.. It does have a high rye mash bill.
Never apologize, love the longer videos!
I’m on the same page as the two of you for the most part with 2XO. I’ve tried three or four of them and have not been that impressed, with the exception of the innkeepers blend. Really love that one…enough to buy a back up. Not surprised you guys liked it today.
The peerless really surprised me. Been to the distillery they make a high quality product.
My twin brother and I used to have crabapple fights with the big green ones! Now we throw each other bottles. It's a little bit safer🤣🤣
I love the longer videos… if y’all put out hour long videos I’d just sit down after dinner with a glass of whiskey and enjoy every second of it
The fiddler toasted is my favorite bottle right now.
Great job guys!!!! Lots of fun and I’m a big Sagamore fan.
The length isn't an issue because these are always lunch break videos for me 😉 I wish I could say I'm disappointed by my local distillery's product going out early, but ASW's toasted is not on my list of favorites either. Sagamore DO is a staple for me, I love their stuff and the DO in particular. If you ever run across a store pick from them and you like ryes, buy it.
2XO has become my favorite as of late. The American Oak tastes so much better a few months after I opened that bottle.
It's Wednesday night and Willie Nelson and Snoop Dog are on TV doing a song together... Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die... lol
Long or short videos don't matter to me. I love seeing you both having fun doing what you do
Sagamore Double Oaked is insanely good. Haven’t gotten to have a lot of the peerless due to the cost but the few times I’ve had it it is was incredibly good.
I’ll second (3rd? 4th?) that no problem with longer videos. I’ll take a long video over a short video any day 👍🏼🥃
my dad used to work for bucyrus-erie. He'd bring home excavator promotional catalogues. Loved looking at those as a kid.
Don't worry about the length of the video, we'll always watch to the end. The videos are definitely worth it, I'll be picking up the Sagamore soon. But, I thought Kurt said there wouldn't be ads during your videos? I had to skip through multiple...
While at Cedar Ridge, be sure to sample their Double Barrel bourbon and their Bottled-in-Bond Rye.
Ok since you keep talking about the length, in some situations I really prefer the long videos. Sometimes im at work with my Bluetooth in my ear listening to y’all and long videos help. Other times i might be sitting at my home bar wondering about what i want to pour when i see your videos. Sometimes i can pour what you pour, but most times not. All times are fun. You do you. Dont let anybody tell you how to freedom.
Love this video and the length ! You guys brighten my day and I look forward to each of your videos!
Nice blind! I’m 63 next month and I used to get chocolate shakes with double malt many years ago:)
Sagamore double oak is really nice! I also really enjoy my Art of the Spirit double oak! I haven’t had a Peerless that I’ve liked yet:(
Cheers!
Never had peerless before, went to the distillery earlier this month and was surprised by everything I had. Picked up the double oak rye and it what’s phenomenal!
We need a blind tasting of the Sagamore vs. Fox & Oden.
Mind blown. That said, I'm looking at my bottles of the Sagamore and the Peerless in this blind and the Peerless is almost drained and Sagamore is mostly full. Still, they're both delicious.
Nothing to apologize for. Love your videos. Love double oaked bourbons. Glad you guys did it.
You'll eat a blizzard but not a shake? They're very much the same thing. Try a shake. Love the shows.
Great video. I haven't had any of these, so the placement for me doesn't matter so much. The real shocker of this video is that Trenton has no clue who Willie Nelson is! Come on, man!
Kurt, Triangle on Calumet has the Peerless Double Oak - was in there a day ago and saw it. Can't argue with the Sagamore - it is delicious!
Sagamore Rye DO is SO GOOD... I'm not surprised it came in first. I have been a fan of all the 2XO releases, and happy to see it in this line-up. I have been hunting for the ASW Fiddler Toasted for a while - ever since I had their Georgia Heartwood, and still haven't had any luck. Peerless DO just doesn't have the distribution to make it out to California, but I have been hoping against hope to come across one.
"ooo, that does not look like a thumb." 😂
I’ve been moving on from your channel since the video length, banter, and anecdotes have increased. I usually only watch when nothing else is left to watch. Take that for what it’s worth. Only one man’s opinion/experience.
Not surprised about Peerless coming in last. Had a tasting at their place in downtown Louisville. I was very unimpressed given all their hype.
I recently picked up the Peerless and was not a fan at all especially for the price. Give me Woodford everyday all day.
Willie Nelson and a few pours of whiskey or bourbon and a fire….Hello! Heaven!
I definitely agree the Peerless DO is overhyped. Got my bottle and given it a bunch of chances, but beyond a kind of muted interesting dark chocolate and way over oakedness I don't get much. That Sagamore DO though....! So good. Gotta try the 2XO still.... Great video guys. Trenton, I challenge you to just use freaking culinary terms to describe smells and tastes. I'm still waiting for you to say something tastes like outer space at some point lol.
lol I used to drink dill pickle juice out of the jar when I was a kid. Drove my mother crazy. Fast forward - now it's the rage of athletes...go figure.
I really like the 2XO Innkeepers and Tribute blends. These seem to sit on shelves but they are great.
Willie is a gawd damned national treasure.
23:28 Trenton gathering notes for future videos
Wait, did i hear them say pickle blind? That would be a fun video. There are so many pickles. It could be an actual blind by blindfolding them!
There is a difference between a CHARRED double oak (2 different barrels) and a TOASTED oak barrels, Where a char is a 40 to 60 second burn of the interior of a barrel, a toast is, well, a toast. The barrels are subjected to less extreme temperatures for longer durations than a barrel char.
Yes keep the video length up if you like. The more off the cuff the better.
