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 they are drinking from.
Dan finally scored the first perfect score but still trails Mark by 1 point in the overall competition. This is the last round in this season of the Blind Shelfie Throwdown so can Dan capitalize on his momentum or will he fall to Mark after trailing all season anyway? It doesn't really matter, does it?
