Hi BB. Watching episodes that I somehow missed. My favorite SB is Old Forester Single Barrel Barrel Strength. I was lucky to find 4 of these in 2023 at MSRP so far. One is 131.3 proof, one is 131.1 proof and 2 are 130.9 proof. I do like the Jack Daniel’s SB Barrel Proof, but have never had the 4 Roses SB Barrel Strength. I will always pick up the Elijah Craig BP and Larceny BP releases. 🥃
These three are mainstays on my shelf for sure lol. That being said I do get all the ECBP releases as well. LarcenyBP I am hit or miss on I loved most of 2022 but PA hasn't gotten any from 2023 yet
I liked these comparisons I have them all so really interesting to see your rankings. Love your descriptive tasting notes. Can’t go wrong with any of them for sure!
Very surprised at the outcome. I think the Jack Daniels Single Barrel Barrel Proof’s are a little bit out matched here, because I do find most of them as just one dimensionally sweet and not as complex as I usually enjoy. I’m a little surprised you liked the FR over the OF because of what you typically seem to enjoy. Nice plot twist, great content!
Thanks buddy. I was a little surprised too. I’m a huge JD fan and I will say the store picks I’ve had have been miles better than the shelf ones and I like the shelf ones quite a bit. The OFSiBBS was the one I thought would win but that extra aged four roses came out swinging. I’ve never had a four roses that high proof or old before
@@bourbonbillYou should do a blind (if u haven't already) of all the JD BP picks you have & all the same bottle, but the JD BP "shelfers"/non-picks. Heard you say the picks are typically ~2yrs older, but you may have been talking about the Rye version.. Just got 3 bottles of the shelfer from same barrel, because found them at $47.18 +tax. Not sure how much the picks are in my area, but the same bottle I got was $70 at the store right across the street.
Jack Daniels single barrel barrel proof is my favourite. I can't get four roses or old forester in the UK. I bought the jack Daniels for £65 and it was fantastic value. I think my favourite of all time is the Elijah Craig barrel proof at about 120 proof
JDSBBP is one of my favorites as well and you are right it’s a great value. I enjoy ECBP as well but they just started doing single barrel store picks and haven’t found one yet so couldn’t include it haha
Level 6 Four Roses. Nice.
Yeah that one was a particularly good bottle

Thanks Jason! You are right they are all winners here. The person's palate and the store pick quality will make this unique for everyone
Another great video I vote for the JD because I think those are easiest to find but you are right no losers
Haha great vote. I love the JD and I’ve found now three of the store picks so you are right it’s easier for me at least to find

Probably because the 4 Roses is aged about 2Xs longer than the other 2.

Great blind! I love barrel proof bourbons but only have the JDSBBP. I haven’t come across the 4 roses or OF SBBP bottles yet…
Keep up the hunt they are different and worth it for sure at msrp. Four roses can vary a lot with some many different recipes
Sorry if I missed it, but what was the price for the 4 Roses? Heard the other 2. Thank you!
4 roses barrel strength picks are around $100 a bottle today but when that was filmed it was around $85
Great episode I need to find one of those old forester single barrels how would you say it compares to 1920..
I would say it tastes bolder and darker flavors than 1920. It’s a little older tasting as well. Better all around and well worth the price
Glad I didn’t guess the order before watching😂
Haha it came out a surprise for me as well
Ahem.... excuse me...... Jack Daniel's isn't a Bourbon, good Sir......
Haha they call it TN Whiskey but it meets the definition of Bourbon no matter how much they don't want to be called that
@@bourbonbill Don't sully the good name of Bourbon with that Charcoal filtered pretender from Tennessee! 😁
