@@gp4708 No problem, Cheers!
Can’t find John J Bowman anywhere
@@rthilson Unfortunately, it may be not be distributed in your area yet. If you have a liquor stop you frequent, ask the owner if he or she can special order it for you with no up charge. It's crazy how distribution works, sometimes it's very political.
blowfly3000 or just order it online
Recently had the Knob Creek 9 for thr first time in more than 20 years. Wow. Super impressed.
The Wild Turkey family of bourbons are great. I will gladly take their stuff over most allocated bottles any day. There are so many great picks on the shelves, it really isn’t worth the hassle to chase the allocated stuff.
I stopped chasing after the allocated bourbons. There are too many great alternatives.
@@rogerd.miller1095 one year later, this video enlightened me. 100% agreed.
Truth! I acquired some Rare Breed in Germany for €36 (about $38 at the time) on German Amazon 😁
Just got my first Russell's Reserve single barrel @ $63 at ABC here in Florida. I've never spent that much money on a 750 ml bottle of bourbon being perfectly fine with Evan Williams bottle and bond 100 proof. The long finish on this Wild Turkey product makes it worth the money, I really like it.
Episodes like this are probably my favorite. It makes me take a second look at my collection and try different things. * Cheers *
Cheers buddy!
For sure 🥃
I'm surprised that Evan Williams didn't make his list.
Evan Williams is my go-to bourbon. At $15 a bottle is an exceptional value. I believe that it should have made it somewhere on his list.
Quite right. EW is my daily sipper...everything you want in a bourbon. But don't miss out on the Evan Williams Single Barrel. Pound for pound, one of the best whiskeys you'll ever have.
I had the small batch and loved it I gotta try the single barrel next
I agree, Evan Williams is an incredible value and delicious in cocktails.
@@SpookyApparition If you haven't tried Evan Williams bottled and bond you should, at $20 a bottle it's a find.
At 101 proof it's exceptionally smooth, makes excellent old fashions, or Manhattans.
@@keithkrey5996 I have 7 bottles of the Single Barrel... Each one is different from the last, they're all fantastic, and they sit proudly next to my "higher end" bourbons on the shelf!
This is what we pay this guy for. He is out doing the work finding special treats like these. That’s right, we just watch but he is the best on TH-cam.
Went back to this vid again after a few months of building my collection and taste testing. In this time of what seems like bourbon mania, going after value is for me, as a longtime bourbon fan and sipper, the way to go. The recommendations have held up very very well. Thanks mate, will continue to add these to my shelf!
And another year later, still true... check back next year ;-)
I love how he explains how a whiskey tastes by comparing it to food or desserts it tastes a lot like. That's a great palate.
I love whiskey but haven't drank it enough to notice so many different flavors, especially really good whiskey and never would have thought it could have so many delicious flavors.
This guy has helped to learn a lot about whiskey and given me a love and passion for whiskey, liquor and alcohol in general, much more than I already had!
Great review👍🏽 If you have issues with other podcasts or reviews, noone is forced to watch any review, just don't listen to each its own. Find what you like, no need to comment or complain about it. No negative energy needed.
I'm telling you - Larceny is for real. Not on his list but it has become one of my go to daily sippers. I never see it get love and it's $25 a bottle and readily available.
Just bought a bottle of Punchers Chance Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey and it’s one of the best I’ve tasted in a long time. Not easy to find but we’ll worth it, and not that expensive - about $35 a bottle.
“Discovered” Rare Breed a couple months ago-already on my third bottle. My new favorite everyday sipper.
Perfect timely video for me Jason. I’ve been trying to locate the “hard to find” when I don’t even have the “easy to find” good whiskeys!
I like the Old Granddad BIB and Four Roses Small Batch Select (available at Costco for good price). I would also include some Evan Williams brands especially the Single Barrel.
I have a grad school classmate whose ex-wife will never forgive me for introducing him to Evan Williams straight.
Finally grabbed a RARE BREED. Holy GOD! SO GOOD! And you're on point with the 101 and Knob Creek. Much better than allocated wallet crushers.
I always get side eye when I recommend any Wild Turkey products. People are missing out because they are cranking out delicious stuff. Great video!
Try putting 101 in a Wellers bottle and serving it to company. Really sorry .... I have no idea what I was thinking when I wrote this.
Give me some Rare Breed all day
J E I’m a bit of a newbie but how does that go for you? lol
J E you’d get weird looks lol because they aren’t even remotely close lol maybe if you had said in a blantons bottle or something that isnt wheated lol
Why? Put a Rye mashbill in a Wheated bottle! Two completely different bourbon. Maybe put Makers Mark in the Weller bottle and like someone else said WT in a Blantons bottle.
I love Russell’s and Rare Breed. I have paid top dollar for Master’s Keep too, but 101 shocked the hell out of me in a blind tasting. Hard to beat for $20-$25. Old Grandad was the same thing. If it’s cold where you live…throw some Old Grandad 114 in some mulled hot cider. Soooo nice!
Yup that Wild Turk 101 is good. Looking forward to trying some these in particular Knob Creek 9yr... good stuff
Sams Club has the Knob Creek 9yr @$27
Ok so watched the video last night wanted to see how well you did with your recommendations. Today I picked up a bottle of knob creek 9 for 35 dollars. It is better than blanton’s at a higher proof. Usually my go to bourbon is Elijah Craig but I think knob creek 9 just replaced that.
The entire Old Grandad lineup is probably one of my favorite bourbons. The friend who got me into bourbon gifted me a bottle of the regular OGD 80proof and that’s what got me down the bourbon rabbit hole. The 114 is the best value in bourbon without question!
If you have time, in honor of a great president, look up the Harry Truman breakfast.
Picked up another bottle of JD SBBP this morning. Favorite whiskey to date!
Your videos are so well done and informative, Jason. This month will mark the 1-year anniversary of my bourbon journey and you have really helped me with my picks.
This is fantastic. This is exactly where I'm at in building my bourbon collection. I can't tell you how many of these I've seen on the shelves and not given any thought to trying. Thanks for the tips!
Absolutely love these videos. I have some some of these and I love them. Hoping to eventually try all of them. Thanks Jason
YES! THAT JACK SINGLE BARREL BARREL PROOF IS AWESOME!!! LOVE THAT STUFF!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. It's been very educational. I'll be trying out these great bourbons. Thank you.
Your ain't just whistling dixie brother. My kids are 27&29 and both here because of WILD TURKEY 101🤣 101 and Rare Breed is always on my shelf and so is Jack barrel proof. Pure deliciousness😁
NAILED this one. Got a bottle today and just had a few sips.. Way different than regular JD. Thanks again for this one.
Wild turkey for sure! Don't know why they get a bad rep? Everything they offer is better than most bottles double their price and you can actually find it!
They don't get a bad rep. Never heard a single complaint literally :D
Wilderness Trail is a home run - both the yellow label bourbon and the rye is amazing. Absolutely agree Old Grand Dad 114, Woodford Reserve Double Oak, JD Single Barrel Barrel Proof, entire WT line especially 101. I know it's not for some but I also think Makers 46 is underrated. Would like your opinion on Chestnut Farms Bottle in Bond coming out of 1792.
Maker's Mark 46 entire lineup, base 46 - 46 cask strength - fae-01, are all great at their price points... they all hit above. After trying 46 I have not looked back to Maker's Mark S-IV. Fae-02 should be on the shelf fall 2021!
The high rye must be why I love Four Roses so much. single Barrel is my favorite - along with Eagle Rare.
Great list! I have had most of this list and I 100% agree with you that they will stand up to the more expensive stuff.
Hi Jason, love all of your videos. You are right to include Jack Daniels in this line up. It is absolutely amazing and legally it Technically IS bourbon! as it meets the 6 criteria to be a Bourbon. The relationship to Jack and Bourbon in general is much like that of Tequila and Mezcal. That is, not all Mezcals are Tequila, but all Tequilas are Mezcals. Here, not all Bourbons are Tennessee whiskeys (like Jack), but Jack Daniels (a Tennessee whiskey) happens to be a bourbon. Salute e sempre avanti.
Great video. It’s so easy to get caught up in the hype for certain allocated and hard to find bottles, this video shows why you shouldn’t, very useful. Loving the channel, the balance of history, tasting notes and conclusions is perfect 👌🏻
My local Total Wine has KC9 for $19.99. The value is bonkers, definitely worth stocking up.
Love this video. I have not had all of these, but the ones I have, I would agree. Great Bourbon, descent prices and should be on everyone's shelf. Cheers!
He knows so much of the history and how each whiskey is made. I'm 39 and only started getting into drinking really good whiskey a few years ago but plan on it for many years to come!
I wish there was a school or college that would teach everything about alcohol like a culinary class, which I am going to does.
I really appreciate your time spent on pointing out these fine bourbons.
Thanks for another great vid Jason! I tried the Cooper's Craft on your recommendation from one of your best values vids, and it's become one of my favorite everyday sippers! Good stuff!
I haven't bought bourbon over a year and this video is exactly what I'm looking for.. Thank you!
Agreed. These are my favorite episodes. Separating the collectors from those who simply like drinking and tasting bourbon. Love the mention of the Knob Creek and Wild Turkey varieties. Great video! Not for the "But it's so smooth!" crowd.
I'm afraid WT and JB will realize how incredible they are for the money and double their prices!
Applause! What a big list for people to use, awesome stuff. Gem of a channel for the bourbon/whiskey folks
Love your reviews on these Bourbon's. Looks like I'm going Bourbon shopping today! Drums and Bourbon! Doesn't get much better than that!
You listed some of my all-time favorites! Big fan of OGD, Big fan of Four Roses, and my regular store knows to keep EVERY Wild Turkey stocked for me. Great video, and great choices!
Wild Turkey's Longbranch is amazing! Great price, easily available.
I bought that as a house warming gift for friends of mine. They bought an estate home, that was called “Wild Turkey Ridge.” I picked it based on the bottle presentation as I was not a bourbon drinker then. Now that I am, I really like it. Has a smokey taste, but is still really drinkable.
Everything it try it there's no flavor and it's so light. It's just too mellow imo, but I can see how people would enjoy it because of that.
I just found this channel and information like this is GOLD! Thanks!
Awesome list Jay!!!
I've been eyeing that Woodford double oaked for some time now. And you helped me make my decision. Going now😂😂
Thanks Jay!!!
Thanks... for calling out the A holes that are overcharging or overhyping a bottle of booze out of the reasonable mans liquor budget. Seriously ... I now have a HARD STOP at $50 will not pay for any bottle of anything above $50. I am happy to say that I have many bottle of tasty liquors before they blew up in price.
Great video, especially for folks in control states. I love the JDSBBP pick, it really is amazing and is my go to when ECBP and Stagg Jr. are hard to come by (especially the latter). Thanks for the great content!
Seen a handful of videos from you. I don’t subscribe easily. You earned my unequivocal subscription after these series. Cheers!
Great review as always! I picked up a 1792 barrel proof store pick tonight...good stuff! Also a big fan of the Russell's Reserve and Rare Breed. Glad to see you spread the word that enjoying bourbon doesn't mean selling a kidney to afford it! 😎
Great list!! I was kinda surprised to see Woodford Double Oaked on this list, because I work at a big chain liquor store and that is impossible to keep on the shelves. You definitely included a lot of my faves so that makes me feel like I might know what I’m doing.
100% agree that the JD Single Barrel Barrel Proof is AMAZING
Jack is the No 1 whiskey everywhere, that is why the bourbon people want to exclude it, they can't hang. Loved seeing OGD, Nice job
I won the day this week and took your advice on the JDBP. Just can’t argue on that one. Great video, one of my all time favorites. Awesome advice!
I was eating some Chocolate Chex cereal yesterday, and I realized that was a note that I had always gotten from Woodford Double Oaked that I never could place.
There ya go! Thats a great note!
I love including Jack Daniels on the list and the respect for Wild Turkey
Whoa! Love this view of the collection! Absolutely amazing. Can't wait for the room tour. Drool
What a great list. Can’t wait to put them on my list and even more....my shelf.
I just started getting really into bourbon and building my collection. This video (and all of your videos) is incredibly helpful and informative. Love that I can find most of this stuff on shelves when I go into stores. Thank you, Jason!
The high proof bourbons were difficult for me to start with with but now that I've been around the block I can say/recommend them as the best. Rare breed, Woodford double oak, and knob creek are cream of the crop and impossible to beat on value and taste.
Thank you Jason! So much I need to buy and continue to grow in my bourbon experience. Cheers!
They don’t seem to do a lot of press up here in Massachusetts, but man it wasn’t until recent that people discovered Woodford Double Oaked and the price shot up seemingly overnight. Used to go for $38-42, now goes for north of $60-65. Great buy.
Another outstanding review Jason! 👏🏻👏🏻 I can’t thank you enough for all your reviews but I especially enjoy this type of review. Keep knocking it out of the park👍👍👍🥃🥃🥃
Great video as per usual and really great list! So many I can agree with and others I have yet to try.
right on point with these selections. You introduced two new items to me so far that....CHEERS! John J. Bowman and Coopers Craft...never heard of them so I'll see if i can locate a bottle.
Another fantastic video! You always do a great job. thanks again!
Couldn’t agree more, especially regarding Turkey and KC. Cheers Jason!
Awesome video man! So many great underrated bottles. Turkey FTMFW! OGD, JD SiB are some more of my favorites. Gonna have to track down the ones I haven't had.
If you ever get the chance to go to either (or both) the Barton’s distillery and/or the Four Roses distillery, do it. Four Roses’ visitor center is incredible, and Barton’s distillery is like a mini Buffalo Trace.
The top overlooked and underrated bourbon TH-cam channel: The Mash and Drum. Great video as always Jason!
Thanks Justin!
He’s right
Yep, best channel on this subject!
Only channels other than this one I like are the guys that do blind tastings, and scotch test dummies cause they make me 😊
You hit on so many of my favorites. I hate Jack Black but the Single Barrel Barrel Proof gives me total life. Belle Meade is a favorite and I love working around the corner from the distillery.
Fantastic List, still looking for Remus in my area but picked up a bottle of the John J Bowman last week and it's amazing.
Thanks for your review, always enjoy. Have tried most of them they are awesome.
Just discovered your channels short time ago and am enjoying yourperceptive and to the point reviews. Thanks!
Nice job. Appreciate your input and experience. For us novices this in vital info for our journey. Again...Thank You.
Nice to see you presented a number of my favorites! I always try and have bottles of OG 114, Four Roses Small Batch Select, and Woodford Double Oaked. Have a nice Remus barrel pick on hand currently. I'll definitely be trying some of the others you presented! I wasn't initially impressed with Wilderness Trail when it launched, so the added time might be what it needed. Met the master distiller before launch and was impressed with his philosophy. I'll give it another try.
I am just beginning to try bourbons. Thanks for the information. I especially like your taste descriptions (pancakes and maple syrup)😋
Great job Jason.. straight to the point.. super useful info.. you’re at the top of the bourbon reviewers!!!
Would love to sit down with Jason and sip some fine bourbons if he’s starting any bourbon clubs
Jason, great topic and bottles. Like you say, so many of us get caught up in the hype and glamour of the high priced spreads, overlooking these pours.
FYI, on the JDSBBP, noticed they also offer in a 375 ml if people want a smaller sampler to try out. Wish more bottlers would do that!! CHEERS!
Never bought or liked any JD product until this. It opened my eyes to high proof whiskey. The banana note is the only thing that keeps this from being a regular sipper for me. But appreciate it nonetheless!
Great job!! I love finding great quality at value prices.
Jason, you are so right I picked up a bottle of JD barrel prof @ 132 I just love it. Rare breed is amazing as well
Jason, really enjoyed this video, I am a fan of your site. Thanks for your objective breakdown of everything whiskey. Go Bucks!!
Great video and content and great to see your experience and conviction. Thank you!
I love Jason's not so thinly veiled annoyance with Blanton's
I used to hate wt101. Now it's always in my collection along with other wild turkey products. I'm going to get around to trying that wilderness trail bourbon. Awesome video as always.
What an excellent topic, and great review. Thank you.
Really enjoyed your selections. Greats vid!
Thank you, enjoyed your point view!
Thanks for always focusing on stuff that is really good and that we can readily get. Even if it is not all of those, I can get 90% of them.
Great List, I'm going to revisit a few of these!!
Great video Jason! You should feel proud that it is because of videos like this one that my collection looks a lot like the bottles in this video. You have definitely influenced my collection and my knowledge of whiskey. Cheers 🥃🥃 brother!
Thanks Joe!
Great List! Already have a few on my shelf but looking forward to adding new ones. Almost bought Remus the other day now I'm regretting not getting it. Spot on with the Jack Daniels. One whiskey that is still young and I think underrated is New Riff...great stuff!
Good selections. Definitely some that I have and keep on the shelf. Coopers was a recent find myself and to your point a great little bourbon. Bowman another great pick. And you can’t go wrong with the Knobb Creek. Love Knobb in an Old Fashion as well as a sipper.
Always can rely on solid advice from Jason C… keep up the great work… you hit my favorites - woodford double oak, Russell’s 10 year reserve, wild turkey 101…the dude knows his bourbon.
Love the spirit of this video brother. This year I feel like I graduated from a noob looking for those rare bottles to someone more experienced Who knows how to find a good $20 bottled in bond that drinks just as good 👍
Of all the videos I have watched in the last 6 months, I think this information is the most valuable to date! I agree 100% about all the allocated stuff people chase vs what you have provided here, especially the BTAC special allocations. Don’t get me wrong, I love BTAC, but the hype in the marketplace has caused literal hysteria with regards to pricing! Great work!
Excellent list as always Jason! Cheers buddy!
Sipping the Cooper's Craft, you can taste the apple and caramel, love that stuff.
