The Best Value Bourbon Around 100 Proof - Blind Flight Fight
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 พ.ค. 2020
- All of these bourbons (when adjusted for prices of a 750ml) are under $20 in our area and hopefully yours, too! What's better is they are all quite tasty which means they are all a solid value. So, when push comes to shove, which one would come out on top? Let's find out. We're blind tasting Wild Turkey 101, Evan Williams Bottled in Bond, Early Times Bottled in Bond and Old Grand-Dad Bonded.

Wild Turkey 101 my go to shelter in place affordable whiskey..🙂😷🤠🌞
Had my first sip of wild turkey 101 44 years ago and many since
Just recently got into bourbons and so far wild turkey 101 is my favorite! And best value too!
Would love to see Old Forester 100 in the mix! My favorite of the segment at $23.
This
Thanks for mentioning that I was going to leave the same comment
Old Forester 100 not being on this list is a crime.
Yes old forester 100 proof 💪🥃
always in my cabinet.
i am an Evan Williams BIB fan. Just bought another 2 bottles today for the 4th weekend. great for mixing in cocktails and great by itself.. and $15 for me. Can't beat it.
If you get it in the 1.75L size, it's evan less. Lowest I can find EW BiB 1.75L is $27.99 which = $12 per 750mL. Guessing it's less for you, if the 750mL bottle is $15?
Cheers!
I've been stuck on Evan Williams Bottled in Bond for several months now! Great bourbon, regardless of the price!
Fun video. Old Grand dad, totally underrated and makes a great, I mean great Old Fashioned. I would have loved to see a Benchmark Bonded on the list.
When I was first getting into whiskey and discovered I preferred the complexity and diversity of scotch to bourbon, the one bourbon that did leave me with a better than average impression was Wild Turkey 101.
They totally put EW BiB in 4th just to keep it's price down... I see you!
Evan Williams bottled in bond and not my favorite yuck just kidding is my favorite
Sara, you should be a distiller at a major label. You are a great flavor profiler.
WT101 is my favorite daily bourbon hands down. Great video guys, cheers!
Rewatching, and enjoying as always. I'm all about these high quality 100 proofers that are always there for us. And now I shall contemplate the irony of ECBP being constantly available everywhere in Oregon at never more than $59.99 while it's hard to find in literally Kentucky. What a world we live in. ;-)
I really appreciate your format, thoughts, and general fun when reviewing these bottles. WT 101 would likely be my number one in this line up. Cheers!
I'm a Wild Turkey guy..but thanks to you both for turning me on to the Evan Williams love it
OGB Bonded is my daily. Love it.
Great review guys! I was surprised by your results for sure. I'm a big WT101 fan and it's nice to see it held it's own amazingly well. The EW BIB was another I enjoyed too, but for me the WT was always a bit better. Liked that there were more flavor notes vs the EW, which was great just didn't seem as complex. That Old Grandad was totally not on my radar at all! I actually dismissed it for some reason as not a quality bourbon, man was I wrong lol. Need to get it now for sure!
In my opinion, this is one of the best TH-cam channels on the topic of bourbon. The video production is very good, and the hosts are great too. It's my "go-to" bourbon channel. And, no, I'm not related to either of them. lol Keep up the good work, Chad and Sara!!
Whiskey Vault and Whiskey Tribe are both pretty good as well. I love both channels, but the banter between Rex and Daniel is quite entertaining.
Thank you very much!
I keep telling my wife I need more bottles of whiskey for science but it doesn't always work
I know this was 2 yrs ago but just saw it for the first time and really enjoyed this video. Glad to see some good “bargain” picks. 👍👍
Chad and Sarah, you guys are great together. Love this flight and the only one I haven't had yet is the Early Times and it's not down here in South Florida yet. Keep up the great work! Cheers!🤙
Nice work! The Evan Williams is my new best drinking buddy.
101 is legit solid bourbon. Many of my friends houses are beam houses. Mine is a 101 house. Quality.
I haven't been able to find early times, but the other 3 are the core of my bourbon selection. I like each and my preference depends on what flavor I'm looking for. And you can't beat the price of these (except for OGD BiB, which is beaten by OGD 114 for just $3 more!).
EW BiB and WT 101 are both high quality affordable whiskeys. You can't go wrong with either one.
@6:57 you can tell that when he jokingly says "supposably" that it's a pet peeve of hers. As it is mine. This review and comparison is entertaining.
If Old Forester 100 didn't even make top 4 I guess I really do still need to try the Evan Williams bottled in bond.
The bonded Old Grand Dad is getting hard as hell to find
Great video, thank you for showing the bottles.
Crazy... definitely all good, but I would have picked EW Bonded No.1... one of my favorite for any price. I love both WT 101 and OGD. All are staples on my cart, and better than many bottles I’ve picked up for $50 or more.
What a great review of affordable bourbons. I haven't yet tried Early Times yet, but the rest are on my buy list. These are affordable and you don't have to feel guilty about buying something too expensive and still pay your bills and enjoy something nice. Good review guys!
Yup, I cannot find Early Times in San Francisco Bay Area.
Can I suggest Old Forrester 100 proof?
I recently found Evans 100 proof. It sits well on my palette. Thanks for the video.. I’ll look into these others to see how they tase.
WT101 is the GOAT!!!!
💯
So TRUE!
I have a bottle headed to me as I type!
I believe that heart over there on the right was Chad's doing.
In that price range Ezra Brooks sour mash is one of my favorites.
Great flight fight! Can't wait for Early Times to get into my area. Funny how in college Turkey was a crappy mixer, not I LOVE it. I wasn't a huge fan of Jim Beam BIB.
I've had a couple bottles of Rebel Yell 100, on your recommendation. Great value at around $18!
3:50 Giving you that “Kentucky Hug” I’ve never heard that term but YEP THAT totally makes it true!
outside of the whiskey talk. I love your video editing. well done and eye catching.
King Jack’D - Brothers Of The Dram Thanks!
But alas, the Brown-Forman Early Times BIB is but a memory (or almost a memory) since the ET label has been sold to Sazerac. What a bummer!
Rebel Yell 100 is another bourbon I would put in this category if it's available in your area. Really good for around $20.
Michael Hobgood Yeah we agree. It’s pretty hit or miss to find in our area so that’s why it didn’t make this flight.
I'd take it over the OGD, Evan Williams, and Early Times. I'll give the edge to WT101 though. Actually drinking that right now.
@@DasFlashyMan I would say I like wt101 a little better overall than Rebel Yell 100. They are very different tasting bourbons. It's nice to add in some variety with these other bourbons and not break the bank.
@@michaelhobgood2792 Yeah I agree WT101 is a little better. They're my two favorite budget bourbons, though. I use Evan Williams Bonded as my Coke mixer.
I very much agree! The RY 100, is an excellent wheater, and an all around great pour for $20. The EW BIB is also a very nice sipper.
Early Times BIB is the best value in under $30 whiskey!
I have some bottles to try. I already love the EW bib.
Like others have stated, I too am on a bottled in bond kick and I think Henry McKenna 10yo is a decent value
It's a toss up for me between EW BIB and WT 101. Both are just so good for the money and can walk into any store any time and see them. Have yet to see early times in my area.
Thank you for bringing forth a full selection of choices. Very much enjoy you guys .
Oh no. Last thing we need is more attention on OGD, Early Times and EW. OGD can be hard to find already in North Texas. OGD is my favorite of these.
Dang bro, she couldn't even let you have this. I feel ya
My 4 go to bourbons I always have around just because the value can’t be beat E.W. BIB ,Wild Turkey 101,Old Forester 100, and Early Times BIB don’t get me I’ll wrong I have other favorites for much more money but these are all a 100+ proof and average about 20 bucks a piece on average great whiskey for the price
You guys hit the mark... Old Grand Dad bib you have to stoop low to get it off the shelf ..
I've found a local grocery store that somehow manages to get and keep some of the highly desirable stuff on the shelf with no markup. It's kind of a gourmet store, and I might be the only one buying the stuff. They still have ECBP C919 on the shelf, and just put out the A120 today. $56 before tax (which in this state is ridiculous). They also have multiple bottles of Blantons.
Lucky!!! Stay in Houston ny chance lol? 🤞
So interesting how EW Bib came in last here but in 2nd place in the 64 under $30 tournament. Thanks for the content.
Wild Turkey 101, The preferred bourbon of Boyd Crowder.
Great video. Although, I often wonder what we'd hear if people thought they were testing four different bourbons, and it was really just the same bourbon poured in four cups. I'd like to hear those comments, because I suspect the power of the mind would enter in, and we would end up hearing a lot of distinct comments about each "different" one.
That would actually pretty funny.
We would be up for trying something like that!
Thanks for the video guys! Great Flight Fight! I am happy that I can actually find 3 out of 4 of these here in 🇨🇦. Hopefully the ET BiB will make it to us here soon!
Another very entertaining, surprising, and informative flight fight. On top of that, thanks for the Math lesson on Venn diagrams and the Sciency stuff about tasting with your nose plugged. Always learning from you guys. Cheers from Canada🇨🇦🥃
Haven't had the Early Times, but I'd go for WT in 1st, OGD in 2nd, and EW in 3rd.
Right off the bat! Kentucky Hug (3:52) LOL! (I watch too much 'It's Bourbon Night"). Ha.
You got a couple hits for your bingo card!
We need a Round 2 with Old Forester 100.
My choice is wild Turkey 101 out of these.. and I did this same thing with a couple days ago with friends.. and it was a total blind for everyone and everyone found wild Turkey was first..
Great review you two, thanks. You both picked Early Times within your top 2, I've never heard of it, gotta try a bottle.
Early Times BIB has become my favorite go-to casual sipper. Not a bad choice in the lineup, but given an option for just one, I’d go with the ET. But then Turkey. Or EW....best just to grab them all.
Great Flight Fight! WT and ET are my favorite dailies! The other 2 do not suck!
Can’t find Early Times BIB anywhere around me. Ugh. I am though a BIG fan of EW BIB
I initially had a gripe with a couple of your choices for this Venn Diagram flight fight, but I think you can repeat this with an entirely different set of four bourbons. I thought Rebel Yell 100, Old Forester 100, and Jim Beam Bonded could all be included in this lineup. So obviously next week you have to choose those 3 and add a 4th. It is the way.
Awesome! You should do another one of these with some more 100/bonded choices.
Entertaining, informative, and concise. Excellent choices of bourbon in this flight. This is why I subscribe to this channel.
I moved from TX to SC and was never able to find OGD bonded. It was always just the 114 and I can confidently say that as soon as I was able to find it, it has become a constant in my rotation. Always have a bottle on hand for company or a solid go-to as a nightcap.
114 is better than Bonded imo
Old grandad 114 is 25$ and the variety I keep on hand. Early times bib is impossible to find. Wt101 my favorite low price with EW bib tied with Og.
Great video. That's a super solid lineup! I haven't had Early Times yet, but those other three are staples in my cabinet. WT 101 in particular is a fave. Cheers guys!
WT 101 is my every day go to
I think I would pick the Early Times BiB first in this lineup. I've taken it to some tastings with very experienced pros and it's impressed. That said, I'm going on vacation tomorrow and packing a handle of Evan Williams BiB.
Fantastic video. Exactly what I needed today.
I would like to see Johnny Drum 100 proof. I don't know why but I root for underdogs. I dig Willett juice. Love Noah's Mill and the Family reserve Eyes.
EW Never gets the love it deserves.
Based on my experience (all four of these bottles have been on my shelf) I'd rank them the same as Chad. Wild Turkey 101 is flat out one of the best deals in bourbon and you can get it any where. It gets over looked almost BECAUSE you can get it anywhere. Early Times BIB can be hard to find but if you just did a value comparison, it is a 1b to WT101's 1a for value. Old Grand-Dad and EW BIB leave something to be desired.
I entirely agree with you, though I do think that Evan Williams BIB gets much better when the bottle is half full. And no, I don’t mean to say it gets better as I get wasted, just as it “opens up.”
Would like to see where EH Taylor stacks up against the others you tried in this video. Its no 1 in my book :)
Sadly early times BIB is considered “allocated” here in Alabama.
But it's in the ABC stores, at least in Cullman.
Y'all are in proof hound denial. Love the videos.
Richard B Oh we don’t deny it haha :)
I think I'd put Jim Beam Bonded in that category as well. Haven't tried ET or OGD yet, but I do enjoy the other two quite a bit.
Tim West Yeah it would fit for sure. JB Bonded is about $22 in our area so it would have been the only one over $20 (adjusting the ET down to a 750ml cost) but yeah it could have fit into this flight nicely. We think it’s a great value for what you get.
@@ItsBourbonNight In PA, it and WT101 are (I think, since we can't even get either right now) 24. I did get it a few months back on sale for 17 bucks though. Should have bought a few more bottles... Great Flight though. Cheers!
Awesome job, guys...thanks for doing this
Your show is the only show
Pshhhhhh stop it. Thank you. :)
Been in my burbon journey for a few months and I'm getting into the groove of taking my time at tasting. The EW bib has an aftertaste of that peanut hull to me. It's a good drink but not like top 3 for me. So far, WT 101 is #1 for me. Haven't tried ET bib but the original one was ok as a beginner but I'm wanting a bit more. So I'm on the hunt...
Wild turkey 101 is best budget bourbon.
Great flight. Love all these bottles.
That is right. Don't shame the bottom shelf!
Cheers!
Great choices. Well thought out!
I love your reviews! Last week I replaced EW 1783 as my super-budget bourbon sipper with EW BIB. and since EW BIB is so cheap, I will stop using Black Velvet when mixing. I have about 10 bourbons currently (range from EW to $42 in price) and I like them all, but for the price, (so far) nothing beats Evan BIB. There are more expensive bourbons I really like, but how to do you beat $20 for a handle? I have not tried Early Times BIB yet, but a lot of people like it better than Evan. I will have to buy a bottle and try it.
Man I WISH Bookers was easy to find in CA
WT 101 definitely worth a few bucks more than the 81 from college days. It is one of my daily drinkers and mixers. WT Russell's Reserve Single Barrel non chill filtered or Rare Breed when I want take it up a notch.
Early Times is #1 out of these for me by far. In 2nd place would be OGD, followed by WT 101. I’ve never tried EW, and now I know I never need to.
Been drinking the Evan Williams Bottled In Bond for awhile now. Need to try Wild Turkey 🦃 101
Interesting, wt101 didn't even make it to the under $30 finals, but ev bib did and did well in it, shows how taste changes day to day. I've had one bottle I thought was really bad one week and then loved it the next week, really made me think. They all sound delicious, I need to see if I can track down a old grand dad bib and early times bib.
Great video, love the Venn diagram! Keep up the good work 👍
I have tried 3 outta 4 of these....I just cannot find Early Times BIB. However, I have access to Resilient BIB and that stuff is the absolute best BIB I have ever tried. It also is , at 50$ in my area , the most expensive, but worth it.
I just got some EW BOB and was presently surprised, it's better than the last bottle of Rebel 100 I got. I don't think both companies are consistent with their batches.
I would like to see you guys give a quick guess right after the first sip, before the break and revisit then rank. Just a suggestion. Love the show
I'm kinda shocked by how well the ET did. Expected WT101 and OGD to do well. Never tried the EW. Good video.
old forester 100 1.75 = $34.97 at walmart here in arizona. hard to beat for me but loved the video ! actually WT 101 is my favorite.stay safe amiga and amigo.
Chad came out on top in this flight...WT101 FTW!
Wild Turkey 101 all the way!
That's freaky. I had JUST purchased the Evan Williams bottled in bond this afternoon based on one of your blind tastings and then I see this video come up a few hours later. Also, love the Venn diagram 👍
ETA... Just got to the results in your vid. Darn it...
