For this “Blind Tasting” episode, Th’ Lip decided to shake things up a bit, and he went all backwards on us! For the first time he let the viewing community know exactly which brands were being blind-tasted (kinda like the old “To Tell The Truth” TV show) but he was still kept in the dark and forced to forge a path through the agave wilderness using only his keen palate and a trust in his inner Coa (look it up).
