Never had the new 1783 at 90P that is claimed to be 6-8yrs on BB & they claim the BT is 8-10yr.. Anyway, as far as price & value between 2 markets I live in on east & west coast, the EW 1783 1.75L ranges from $30-34 & BT 1.75L is $52-63. So unless you just want the best nose, the EW seems like the clear choice, not mention EW BiB is $28 & beat BT in a blind I did.
PB&J on white bread, what childhood memories... I poured a barrel pick of BT while watching the flight fight just now, and it made watching it even more enjoyable. Cheers!
Great review! Buffalo Trace is what got me into bourbon in the first place so it has a special place in my heart! I now love myself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich!
If you like a high-rye bourbon it's a gem; imo the 4Roses $22/btl basic beats buffalo trace as an everyday sipper. BT is good, well made and complex, but has enough flaws (low body, odd finish) to fall a couple notches.
@@JE-western-rider Sacrilege! You need a RYE whiskey to make a real Manhattan(look up the history). and MM has zero rye (it's not even a real bourbon by my reckoning). Try a Manhattan w Pikeville rye, Antica vermouth, Bada-bing cherries(& juice) and angosterna bitters. You can thank me later. ((fwiw WT101 rye works well in a mahattan too, but Pikeville has some extra zing.))
I was surprised they went with Dickel instead of Russell 10-year, Eagle Rare could have been an honourable mention since many complain it's not available to them.
I was late to this video because I was making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the holiday weekend. Thanks for the flight fights. I enjoy and learn a lot from them.
PB & J. The Grape note I picked up for the first time in my bottle of CEHT Single Barrel. After that, I can now find it in Buffalo Trace.The 1783 rebrand is a hit and the least expensive bottle in the flight. I've always thought 4R Small Batch was one note, and I really like the new Dickel Bourbon. Great video!
I moved from PBJ to PB and honey. I've been looking for some Buffalo Trace- not available in liquor stores in my metropolitan area, always sold out. But I went to visit my daughter in Colorado and found some in one of their grocery stores!
PB&J and whiskey...sounds delish. 4 Roses SmB has been my Go-To for the last 8 months now. Just picked up the SmB Select from the Distillery last month.
PB&J! We get a surprising amount of coconut on the 1783. It’s like a fluffernutter and swings well above the $20 price point. We have a similar feeing on the Dickel. We suspect it could do some damage in the right flight, but we haven’t found that flight yet. Cheers!
I could have picked this winner for the two of you. It is okay, it is your preference. A very good overall review. I am going to make myself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich now
I was just thinking... I like peanut butter and jelly but I'm on a Keto diet so bread and jelly are not a thing for me any more... but... I really enjoyed this video (along with all of your other videos) and so one of my favorite snacks now is: "It's Bourbon Night." Cheers!
Pb & J. Another Great Video. Looking at your Glencairn glasses and can’t tell if there are subtle differences other than the logos in the glasses. Are they all the same?. Weight, Wall Thickness, Size or Balance differences?. Could be a merchandise vid ;).
There are small differences between them. We've noticed thicker walls on our older glasses compared to the latest shipment, but luckily that hasn't seemed to change their durability :)
Peanut Butter and Jelly... Good video you two. I agree totally about the Four Roses! Love the Single Barrel and usually tend to have it as a stand alone and neat. Where I am in North Texas, I can get Buffalo Trace for the mid 20's - don't get mad people! My favorite 90º to 94º bottles are Eagle Rare, 1792 Small Batch, Elijah Craig, or the Weller Special Reserve. Love to see you match them up against the Buffalo Trace. Eagle Rare is a little hard to find for me, but is still sub $30 if I am lucky. Started getting into bourbon about a year ago in March and found you back then. I have moved toward higher proof because of your reviews and it opens a whole new world to the experience. THANKS!
I don't have the Dickel, but I do have the other 3, I recently did a blind with Four Roses, Buffalo Trace and Bowman Bros small batch. I prefer the Buffalo Trace a little bit to the other 2 and BT did win my blind.
Peanut butter and jelly is one way to put it. I bought a bottle of oceans sea aged, blade and bow, single barrel four roses and some buffalo trace. Interesting differences in those.
Great comparison video, as usual. 👏 I can find BT on base very easily compared to most people out there it seems, but they also have a 1.75L of 1783 for just a few dollars more than the 750ml of BT, so that's a big difference maker right there. Cheers 👍🥃
@@riverwalker2173 It depends on where you're at. I'm in WA, near JBLM, and I can find BT almost every store I go to. Some of them over charge, and the taxes are ridiculous, but that's why I do most of my shopping on base 🇺🇸🍻 cheers
Love the videos you two. I’m pretty new to bourbon so when I find something I want to try I come to your channel for your opinions. You haven’t steered me wrong yet. Today I found your video on rendezvous rye from High West. I liked the video so I bought it.
PB&J… I think I must live in one of the only places in the country where I can walk into the liquor store anytime, and find BT on the shelf in all sizes.
These results are actually exactly what i would have guessed. May have to try this myself. I definitely do have a bias towards BT. peanut butter and jelly
Peanut Butter & Jelly has been my fall back food for far to many years. I've found I seem to have a preference for Buffalo Trace products as of late, and for Eagle Rare in particular I get that grape note you two seem to find.
This is hilarious. Yall are so obviously hiding the fact that you know your stuff! You all pegged every bottle in the first round. Keep up the good work.
I love Buffalo Trace and 1783. However, the 1783 is always available and at 32 dollars a handle, that's saying something. Top quality bourbons are everywhere and there is no need to throw huge dollars for a great pour.
I'm not much of a fan of the four roses small batch it was okay but I did not love it have you guys ever tried 6 and 20 5grain? I found it to taste different than any of my other Bourbons which made it interesting to me
My PB&J is a couple years stale, but I'm glad 1783 at least got second. I'll pay a few bucks extra for an extra 9 years (especially if it's Full Proof😏) but that's a fantastic bargain, and better at its price than BT is (unless maybe at actual MSRP), in my opinion.
Out of those 4 it would be the 4 Rose's for me. Tho I only tried dickle once and it was a while ago. 4 Rose's small batch to ne is a good middle of the road bourbon that works well in mixers and also can be enjoyed straight. I rather have bullet, WR101 or rare breed myself tho.
Tried three of the four and although I like Buffalo Trace, it's too expensive now, so 1783 is my go to, and truthfully doesn't taste all that different from BT, but that may just be me.
Peanut butter and jelly! I had to watch this again to compare with my own results. I had the same scoring except with the Four Roses as 4th and the Dickel as 3rd. It's really weird, I love Four Roses single barrel, but am not a fan of the small batch.
Nice flight fight. I would have placed Evan Williams above Buffalo Trace, as I'm just not impressed with how flat it is for the price (especially when it's unnecessarily hyped up).
Totally Agree. I spent the past year hunting BT bourbon, and in the end the EW1873 is on par and the EW SingleBarrel is better . McKenna is another completely decent, yet very over-rated bourbon that I stopped chasing. I'll drive a few counties for the right Old Forester or similar gems. BT isn't close.
Flat? It's mild but it's far from flat in my opinion, there's a ton of flavors going on. Way more than the other bourbons in this lineup. Maybe you just got a bad one.
Right...The No. 8 and No.12 recipes were a take on JD's Old No. 7 (which also isn't 7 yrs old). The 8 is reportedly 4-6 year, the 12 is 6-8 year. The new bourbon is 8 years. Some of the best Cascade Hollow I've had has been the 9 year Single Barrel Selects.
You guys live in Lexington. Why not do a show about Lexington distilleries? Pepper, Bluegrass, Town Branch, Barrel House? Then maybe do one on Franklin Co vs Jefferson vs Nelson vs Shelby Co?
Not a fan of Four Roses bourbons. It's just my flavor preference. I always find the taste to be a bit monotone, and astringent. A bit too much burn for my taste. I do like the EW 1783 quite a bit. Ok on it's own and a great mixer because of the vanilla and brown sugar notes. Will try the other two soon.
Yes, 1783 is waaaaaay under rated--especially at its price in the low $20s
Yes - a great value. Don't tell the noobs to look on the 3rd shelf.
1783 is a sleeper...pls keep it quiet 😉
One of my very favorite budget bottles.
1783 is $13.98 at Sam’s Club where I live in northwest Arkansas.
Never had the new 1783 at 90P that is claimed to be 6-8yrs on BB & they claim the BT is 8-10yr.. Anyway, as far as price & value between 2 markets I live in on east & west coast, the EW 1783 1.75L ranges from $30-34 & BT 1.75L is $52-63.

Loved Sara trying to get a whiff of PB&J with one under each nostril near the end. 1783 is definitely an underrated bargain, IMHO. Great review video.
PB&J on white bread, what childhood memories...
I poured a barrel pick of BT while watching the flight fight just now, and it made watching it even more enjoyable. Cheers!
Great review as always! My results were: 4 - Dickel, 3- 1783, 2- Four Roses, 1 - Buffalo Trace. But i like them all! Cheers!
Great review! Buffalo Trace is what got me into bourbon in the first place so it has a special place in my heart! I now love myself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich!
Love the Four Roses Small Batch...
Four Roses was my starter bourbon! Will always have a soft spot in my heart for it!
If you like a high-rye bourbon it's a gem; imo the 4Roses $22/btl basic beats buffalo trace as an everyday sipper. BT is good, well made and complex, but has enough flaws (low body, odd finish) to fall a couple notches.
I also like the Russell's reserve 10 year 90 proof . It's $2 cheaper than the 4 roses small batch , in my area.
Very content with either Russell's Reserve, Wild Turkey 101, and Makers Mark for Manhattans and Old Fashioned's.
Easily the best 90 proof there is, in my opinion. Love it.
Russell's kills this whole lineup.

Oh thats good just picked up.a bottle of buffalo trace for 20 quid. If you are wondering were the whisky is i think we have it all in the UK

PB&J!! Yes! I get grape notes especially on the Eagle Rare (older BT). Just started noticing it. Thought I was weird!
BT is so sweet to me that I never need to try the others. Old Forester is my go to...
Which one? You find it significantly better than BT?
PBJ 😁. I'm new to bourbon but I'm learning a lot from your videos. Thanks!
I could have picked this winner for the two of you. It is okay, it is your preference. A very good overall review. I am going to make myself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich now
Peanut butter and jelly. I love the EW 1783. Thanks for sharing.
Pb and j! Love you guys. 1783 was my favorite budget bourbon until I dried the Evan Williams bottled in bond
Always so interesting to see a blind tasting! The label can be such an influence. Peanut butter and jelly!!!

Evan Williams 1783 small batch is fun

Blind-taste the bt vs ew. You might be surprised.
The problem with BT is it's nearly impossible to find out west🦬😓
@@riverwalker2173 It depends on where you're at. I'm in WA, near JBLM, and I can find BT almost every store I go to. Some of them over charge, and the taxes are ridiculous, but that's why I do most of my shopping on base 🇺🇸🍻 cheers

They are spot on correct on this review, I have tried countless Bourbon and Scotch brands and Buffalo Trace is my great favorite by leaps and bounds.
PB & Jelly, Cheers Chad & Sara, and Happy Friday !
Awesome. Keep people chasing the BT. Meanwhile, ill keep grabbing those $40 handles of EW1783 that sit dusty on the shelf.
PB&J… I think I must live in one of the only places in the country where I can walk into the liquor store anytime, and find BT on the shelf in all sizes.
Toasted PB&J for me.
Love the new 1783...finding it at $16-18, makes it a winner time and again...
1783 is legit
They got it right, whatever they did
Hey man! It was nice meeting you at Frankfort Avenue Liquors today! Safe travels man!
Hey, it was great meeting you, too!
Another great time with Chad & Sara. PB&J
These results are actually exactly what i would have guessed. May have to try this myself. I definitely do have a bias towards BT. peanut butter and jelly
I'm a big fan of the Buffalo Trace as well. Pairs well with a good PB&J.
In the same sense that $5-buck-chuck pairs well w in&out burger.
Peanut butter and jelly
…but never had much use for BT lol - must be something wrong with me 😆
Peanut Butter & Jelly has been my fall back food for far to many years. I've found I seem to have a preference for Buffalo Trace products as of late, and for Eagle Rare in particular I get that grape note you two seem to find.
Yes!!!! I've been telling my son Ben I get that grape note on the Eagle Rare lately. For some reason I just started noticing it.
Same here. Really enjoying Eagel Rare these days. 🥃
Too bad you can’t throw in some Old Forester for a PB&Banana.
Great lineup. My preference would be towards the EW.
Great video P B &J EW probably the best bang for your buck!
Trying Buffalo Trace for my birthday
Two things I enjoy: Flight fights and PB&J. Not necessarily together.
I really like the way you edit your video's..
This is hilarious. Yall are so obviously hiding the fact that you know your stuff! You all pegged every bottle in the first round. Keep up the good work.
I poured Buffalo Trace tonight. Now all I can smell is grape jelly…….lol. Thank you for planting that seed
Great review, I love them all...
Peanut Butter and jelly is spot on. Happy Labor Day!
Peanut Butter & Jelly! WIll be on the look out for the 1783. Great flight fight!
Liked this video, but there are higher quality bourbons still coming in at or around 90 proof you coulda looked at haha
I love Buffalo Trace and 1783. However, the 1783 is always available and at 32 dollars a handle, that's saying something. Top quality bourbons are everywhere and there is no need to throw huge dollars for a great pour.
This makes me want to mix EW1783 and BT for the full PB&J experience lol
I cannot find that new EW 1783 anywhere around me in NY...
I'm not much of a fan of the four roses small batch it was okay but I did not love it have you guys ever tried 6 and 20 5grain? I found it to taste different than any of my other Bourbons which made it interesting to me
Peanut butter & Jelly. And I am going to look for the Evan Williams. We still seem to have 86 proof around.
I love both peanut butter and jelly. Can see them being a great 1-2 punch in the fight. I'm a heaven hill and buffalo trace fan.
I had high hopes for the EW on this one. I guess 2nd place behind BT ain't so bad. Oh yeah, and PB&J!👊😎
Jif creamy PB and grape jelly ftw. Good video 👍
Pb and j also just grabbed a 1.75 of 1783 for like 32 bucks lol for the price its one of the netter values in whiskey
Been making plenty of PB&J for the kids on this holiday weekend.
I really enjoy the Evan Williams 1783. I can't find the Dickel in my area yet but I do want to try it.
Don't bother. Try the EW SnglBbl.
My PB&J is a couple years stale, but I'm glad 1783 at least got second. I'll pay a few bucks extra for an extra 9 years (especially if it's Full Proof😏) but that's a fantastic bargain, and better at its price than BT is (unless maybe at actual MSRP), in my opinion.

Good luck finding Buffalo Trace anywhere in my area.
YES!!! Love that Poltergeist reference! 👻
Which one has less pepper?
I know this video is 5 months old I like your show I think it's better than all the rest I'm waiting for the live coming do shoe guys Sarah and Chad
Peanut butter and jelly is actually really accurate with those 2😂
Of course it's Buffalo Trace. We're going to have some Four Roses with chocolate now because as soon as you said that we both said YUM
Yes the peanut butter and jelly really comes through
Peanut butter and jelly!! Love the vids
Peanut Butter and jelly!!!
Great review.
Only peanut butter for me as sadly that particular jelly is nowhere to be found in my area 😭 but great blind flight!

@@treytison1444 I'll give it another shot, so long as I can find it at MSRP. Luckily it's fairly easy to find here and not overpriced.
PB&J Buffalo popular for a reason but they are all great pours
Peanut butter and jelly! Big fan of the EW 90 proof.
Peanut Butter and Jelly - great video...
Peanut Butter and Jelly.
Take this with a grain of salt, but I've heard that the 8 and 12 on Dickel doesn't refer to its age, it refers to a recipe.
Thank you! 😁
I think they may be true for their TN whiskey, but the Dickel Bourbon is stated as 8 Years Old.
@@ItsBourbonNight like I said, grain of salt! I remember being shocked that their 12 "year" was $20 until I found out it wasn't 12 years old.
Right...The No. 8 and No.12 recipes were a take on JD's Old No. 7 (which also isn't 7 yrs old). The 8 is reportedly 4-6 year, the 12 is 6-8 year. The new bourbon is 8 years. Some of the best Cascade Hollow I've had has been the 9 year Single Barrel Selects.
Prefer the peanut butter over the jelly but wouldn’t say no to either in my glass 😊
You guys live in Lexington. Why not do a show about Lexington distilleries? Pepper, Bluegrass, Town Branch, Barrel House? Then maybe do one on Franklin Co vs Jefferson vs Nelson vs Shelby Co?
Peanut butter & jelly ... I also wish Russell's 10 was in this Flight Fight. Cheers!
There can always be a part 2! We’re already thinking about it ;)
@@ItsBourbonNight - I've been sipping and enjoying Bowman Brothers Small Batch, which is also 90 proof. I wonder how it would measure up?
Not a fan of Four Roses bourbons. It's just my flavor preference. I always find the taste to be a bit monotone, and astringent. A bit too much burn for my taste. I do like the EW 1783 quite a bit. Ok on it's own and a great mixer because of the vanilla and brown sugar notes. Will try the other two soon.
PB&J
WHISKEY CHEERS 😎😎😎😎
877 PEANUT BUTTER & JELLY
Sarah chin hittin that full note.
Peanut Butter& Jelly. Keep up the great work!
Had PB&J for lunch today :)
