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! :ss

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? -(P

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

:D

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. :lr

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. :D

I can see interest for a Blind Bourbon Pass forming......

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. :D

Sample #2 on deck for tonight. :al

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! :D But I felt fairly good about getting in the right ballpark. Watch me trash my confidence tonight with #2. :r
