Default Ben's Blind Bourbon Reviews
So Ben (stearns) has a box dropped on my porch today, with samples of my second vice....Bourbon!

But the rub? I don't know what they are, get to try them blind, which is super cool ...maybe I'll find a new fave!



Of course, Ben had to send a couple tasty palate cleansing smokes!

Thank you so much, Ben, looking forward to trying these! And of course, you know what I will do with the empty little bottles, right?

I bought one can of Bud Light and one can of Coors Light, shook them up until they lost all carbonation, then filled 3 of the jars with Bud Light and one with Coors Light. Your mission is to tell me which is the Coors

Awesome!

So does it go Kristen, Bourbon, Cigars? Would have thought cigars were second, but I apparently don;t know you as well as I thought.

Oh sure, get me in trouble. Nice.

Of course, if you continue to misspell Kristin's name, you could be in the doghouse with me.

I am allergic to Anheuser Busch beers, so this should be a cinch, Ben! I'll give you the answer as soon as I recover.

Pour #1

Very subtle nose, hints of dried fruit is the most I’m picking up.

Amber color, lighter mouthfeel. First sip brings on a surprising sweetness, not like a “finished” bourbon, but certainly could be wheated. Very balanced and smooth, but doesn’t give the impression of being a higher proof. The finish is short and doesn’t pack a lot of heat.

My guess: Jefferson’s Ocean.

And it was:



Thank you, Ben, happy to have tried it, and don’t feel like I was too far off.

Not particularly in that order though.

Sample #2 on deck for tonight.

Oh, I love this idea! I'm a big bourbon fan, but no way I could even fathom a guess at what brand something was out of thin air like that! Maybe something about mashbill and proof, but this is impressive.

Albeit an incorrect guess, Flynn! But I felt fairly good about getting in the right ballpark. Watch me trash my confidence tonight with #2.
