The process.

Step 1:

Purchase a few 1 oz. Boston round bottles on Amazon. There is a pack of 30 for $19.99.

Step 2:

Pick however many bourbons you want a friend or multiple friends to blind taste test and write down a numbered list of your selections.

Step 3:

Fill your bottles with the bourbons you have selected and be sure to label them with the corresponding number on the list you wrote down in Step 2.

 

Step 4:

Now that your bottles are filled and labeled, take a picture of the list you wrote down in case it gets misplaced. If you're like me and “writing down a list” means typing it up on your phone then it’s already in the cloud so you're good.

 
 
 
 
 

Step 5:

I would encourage you to dig through the junk drawer to find a pen and handwrite the person or people you are going to give the bottles of bourbon a letter of either a fun past memory or update them on your life if it has been a while, or just let them know you are thinking about them.

Step 6:

Package it up however you see fit and either drop it off at their house or make it an event and get together to do the blind taste test together.

Step 7:

Feel free to go to “The Material” page and download some helpful information on how to conduct the blind taste test and what to do after you record the results if you are dropping the package off with someone or if you need to refer to it together.
