Tasting whiskey blind, that is without knowing what sort of bourbon, rye, or scotch whisky you're drinking, is the only way to remove the bias and know for sure if you like a whiskey or if you've just been caught up in the hype. I think that's right but even if it isn't, blind tasting whiskey fun and humbling and you should do it too. In the Blind Shelfie Throwdown, Dan and Mark share whiskey from their own shelves with each other and see who can get the most points from figuring out the style, the proof, the distillery, and maybe even exactly which bottle the are drinking from. No perfect scores yet but it could happen this time, right? No? Whatever, we're drinking and having fun so who cares.
