I love watching the education of Trenton.
Kurt uses some old phrases from TV commercials.
“Where’s the Beef”!
I hope he's just playing dumb.
Yeah, Trent is a tad naïve. 😂
@@davidherr6738 Trenton wasn't even born yet when that commercial was on TV lol
I’d love to see a video of you guys going on a bourbon hunt together
I doubt they hunt very much anymore. Liquor stores probably call them with allocations now.
As a black coffee drinker, the quality of the coffee is SUPER important to actually enjoying black coffee.
Not only do I remember where's the beef AND kiss my grits! But my grandfather had a license plate for both of them. He was so proud of them at the time. Love the channel! Great video as usual!
I’m 45 years old and I remember the “Where the beef!” Lady. So funny.
Belly laugh to Kurt’s “Where’s the beef”😂 because I’m 629 months old!
"You look like the type that would order that!" 🤣🤣 Trenton, you are correct in sayin black coffee is the only way to go!
I want to get the whole Hardin's Creek series as I think it's pretty neat that they aged the same stuff for the same amount of time in 3 different locations to see how differently it would turn out. Gonna be a tough ask and it's quite expensive on secondary.
Me too but this is a super unicorn for me. Never seen it.
I think one day ya’ll are going to go back to this Chapter 7 little book and say wow that’s amazing. Very very very impressed with this Little Book. Best one by far they’ve put out.
I see 👀you on the where’s the beef ref, Curt 👊🏽😂
I happen to have moved to Louisville right when Bakers and Knob Creek were rolled out by Beam which made me a Beam fan straight away. We tasted Bookers at the distillery as well which (I think) came out a bit earlier. Those early visits (in my bourbon journey) to Beam & Makers has influenced me ever since.
I’m not the biggest fan of the Jim Beam products I’ve tried - Bookers, Knob Creek, etc. because of the nuttiness, but I picked up this Little Book the other day and was pleasantly surprised.
It's weird - a lot of people say that nuttiness is characteristic of Jim Beam stuff, but I don't see it. Where I consistently get peanuts is whisky from Heaven Hill, and I get pecans from George Dickel No. 12.
@@WhiskyForBeginnersI definitely most associate the "Jim Beam profile" with peanuts, but I could definitely also get some nuts from Heaven Hill products (J.T.S. Brown is quite nutty). I don't get any nuts from the Dickel lineup, though, but I definitely get a lot of disappointment.
I have the Hardin’s Creek Clermont and Frankfort. Really hope to get the Boston to complete the series. So good for 17 years. Also have the Baker’s 13, but have not cracked it open yet.
I got ya Kent!! “Where’s the beef?” I find it so interesting that Trenton seems to be so picky about what he will or will not eat yet will go into the yard and eat a mushroom growing there. 😂
Had a shot at Little Book today for $175, and passed. Sounds like the right decision. Thanks as always fellas, you’re great help to my wallet!
Big fan of the Baker's 7, going to have to be on the lookout for the Baker's 13. I had a Hardin's Creek Jacob's Well in my hand and put it back. One of the biggest regrets I've had hunting.
It's not a real episode until Trenton doesn't get a pop culture or food reference.
Somebody had to say it! I also get suspicious if Trenton doesn't struggle with a word that Kurt tells him is commonly used. 😅
He didn’t know what a latte was in this episode 😂
This is the only whiskey channel that matters anymore! You two are a couple of smoked hams! ADHD whiskey being the only possible exception.
Also those old Sears catalogs are so neat.
So the little book is their version of an infinity bottle. Take all the leftovers mix it together and market it.
Would like to grab a Bakers 13 for the bar. Thanks for the show today, love the different flavor profiles
I'd love to try any of these bottles for MSRP. I saw a Baker's 13 the other day, but it was marked up to about $400 by itself. That's a hard pass for me at that price. Great video, as always!
That’s cool, I have the 1908 Sears, Roebuck & Co catalog on my bookshelf 👍🏼
5:07 I've not found Beam stuff to be nutty, but Heaven Hill juice definitely gives me peanuts, and George Dickel No. 12 has a clear pecan note.
8:03 Balcones Distilling is very idiosyncratic in giving the age - their Texas Pot Still Bourbon is a fair example: AGED AT LEAST 24 MONTHS IN OAK. But that math is easy. 🙂
I'd love to try the Bakers 13, because I'm a big fan of the 7 year [minimum]. I never saw/tried any Hardens Creek either. I did just find a bottle of the Little Book 7 though, and think it's incredibly delicious - love at first taste. So I'm a little surprised at your unimpressed reaction. It's the only Booker's I've ever tasted though, so maybe my scale is just off.
I am with Trenton...black coffee is the best way to go!!!! Starbucks is NOT the answer for such either...burnt beans...nasty. Personally, over charging for bourbon should be a felony!!! 😏

Trenton, great job with the ideas and videos.
How about doing a head to head double blind with Russells single barrel picks and Russells 13 multiple batches is available too? People Want to know how the single barrels stack-up against the Russells 13 and if it can even beat it in a blind. 5-6 bottle total would be great for variety if possible.
Keep-up the great content with Poppa Kirk.
Cheers!
Jonathan
Sorry, poppa Kurt…
Can you do a review of Mcfarlane's Reserve 13yr Bourbon finished in Cabernet Sauvignon? It is my all time favorite and I am surprised how underestimated it is in the market nowadays!
Ha ha! Love it. Where’s the Beef!?? Love that classic commercial. Now I feel old. Well I got the 15 year Hardin’s creek. I’ll enjoy it.
I haven't gotten past the commercial to watch the video yet so my answer hasn't been influenced by any tasting! NO not one of those is worth more than 1/2 of what their asking!
I have a 9 year old Baker 7 year and an 8 year 10 month Baker 7 year. Both are good but Knob Creek 12 is still my favorite.
I like the Bakers 13 a lot. Haven't seen the others anywhere. Great review as always guys.
Happy to take little book 6 off your hands...loved the maltiness..Sadly only got 1
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood!
I enjoyed Little Book Chapter 6 because it was a gift and the only Little Book I'd ever had.
Thank you!! 🎉 this is Calvin
I always enjoy watching your reviews thx! I'd like you guys in 1 of your videos to explain your taste preferences and in particular your pepper spicy taste. I generally drink old scotches and Irish whiskeys but have a hard time with many bourbon for too much pepper/rye spice. So would love to hear more detail. Thx!
I enjoyed LB6 from an academic standpoint. I think if you like American single malts, it’s decent.
Just signed up for your Patreon! Been trying to score Claremont for my wedding on Sunday, but no go.
It’s all about tradition. Back in the 50s 60s & 70s they age stated these in months.
Have y’all tried the middle west 5yr wheated finished in sherry barrels I think it’s sherry i might be wrong but anyways it’s phenomenal!!!!!
First spendy bootle of bourbon I bought. Was a chapter 3 little bookers have not seen a little bookers since
I feel attacked.. I'm the guy that orders the Mocha Frappuccino at Starbucks lol
I've only had Bakers 7 not bad, but I just can't spend that kinda money on 3 bottles. Cheers 🍻
Nice. I have seen the Baker's 13 around on whiskey tube. Nowhere near my neck of the woods. That intrigues me is the almost unanimous enjoyment. I am not a huge fan of Baker's 107, so it would be cool to see how much better the 13 is. I was checking Total Wine and some online stores, while the video was on. I will keep my eye out incase the 13 ever migrates west.
KURT!!---TRENTON!!! That Bakers 13 looks awesome!!! That's right my alley!!! I'll have to keep an eye out for that!!! CHEERS!!!!
Green River Single Barrel is out- people are saying it's amazing
I'm on a hunt for this one. It's hitting my state now and a local store promised to get it.
I have already seen it at one store here.. planning on getting it by the weekend
I'm a big fan of Baker's 7, so I'd like to find the 13 (around MSRP). I've had and enjoyed Booker's but haven't tried Little Book.
I'm 762 months old. Does that make me vintage? 😂
Hilarious reference from old Wendy's ads! I guess I'm in Kurt's generation, LOL! Made me laugh! Frankfort reviews have been so-so compared to Clermont. While watching this I'm sampling Larceny A123 and wondering how these could be much better at twice the price?
Hail Trenton and Kurton 🤘🏼
Quality spongebob reference 😂🔥🤝
If you watch the Whiskey Vault closely, Daniel Whittington also rolls the glass. It's a thing.
I love Bakers 7 so much Bakers 13 bottle is beautiful I'll have to be on lookout. 😄🥃
Once your kid is 1 you should stop saying how many months old they are!
Trenton is 384 months old
I'd give it to 15 months. After that, the kid is "about 1 and a half."
Yea, the numbers are huge, I’m 780 months
@@jameswilkinson9957how many hours?
Up to 2 years is acceptable when talking to other parents. "1 year" isn't specific enough when it could mean 12 months or 23 months, which would be totally different stages for the kid. Non-parents probably wouldn't care though.
Out of curiosity I found a unopened bottle of chapter 1 the easy. Have you ever had a chance to try the first little book?
Have you guys tried or do you have an opinion of Geo Dickel 8 yr bourbon

Where's the beef?!
Team Black Coffee!
I was once told that the reason Glencairn glasses are shaped the way they are, is so you can lay them on their sides and spin them in a circle to aerate the whisky.
Yeah, let us know how that works out for you...
There is a specific "roller" glass for that (quite neat looking, I think) but man, would it be a fight to keep any decent pour in a glencairn doing that after your first couple of rounds! 😂
@@dgsutube01 I was told that at a tasting at one of the big distilleries in Kentucky, so I tend to believe them.
I will have to try these. Maybe a JB product I would like.
Heck I drink my coffee along with a glass of bourbon.
Try Calumet Farm 8 year guys
Did Kirt create a new tasting note? Think I heard a Charcolate. Cheers SLB!
Enjoy your videos thanks for sharing
Weird that the 2 year Hardin's Creek is $75 and the 17 year is $170 MSRP. I'm glad they didn't no nuts with the pricing... mostly shocked how high the 2 year bottle is. I'm sure this 17 year bottle will be going crazy on the secondary and the bottle museum shops will have it at $999+ soon as they get a shipment.
Luckily, I'm very happy with Knob Creek 12 & 15 and those bottles are usually $60 and $100 here.
That is quite the oddity. It sounds like you're a Knob Creek fan... I'm curious to pick your brain on how you think KC 12 and 15 compare to KC 9 $ KC 9 SB.
Nice bottles! Hardin’s Creek Clermont is really nice! Looking forward to trying these some day!
Hey Kurt and Trento! I’ve seen a good amount of y’all videos but not once I’ve heard you guys say what SLB stands for. S-L-Basement, Bourbon…what’s the SL?
SLB = Strong Like Bull
Jim Beam white label tastes like straight up peanut shells.

Scooby Doo and bourbon ?
There are no whiskys or whiskeys worth over $90 of my money and that a stretch. There are many Bourbons under $50.00 that are really nice. wI really like your videos, I have not tried Old Granddad 114, had and enjoy the others in you $40-$50 and $30-$40.
about coffee, I like coffee, straight strong black coffee. I drink Water, Coffee, Bourbon in that order.
Old school Jim Beam bottles were always in months and not years.
I have an idea....put these up for raffle next show. (Even opened) :)
YESSSSSS!!!! First comment on this video!!!!
Tim!! 🏆
I love whiskey, and I enjoy it often. The only smell I can identify is airplane glue. What is wrong with me…
Jeff... we're gathered here today because we all love and care about you. These are the ways your airplane glue addiction has affected our lives... Beth, would you like to go first?
Hardin Creek Colonel is sadly disappointing
🥇
Cheers 🥃
No Jim Beam Bourbon is worth 400.
13 isn’t new you’re just new
No Jim Beam product is worth more than $50, and that's pushing it
Barrel Proof Single Barrel is worth every penny of $75.
Sorry I’m just not buying any of these… too expensive and not special enough to be a limited release (IMO of course).
I see 👀you on the where’s the beef ref, Curt 👊🏽😂
