    Evan Williams was a favorite of mine when I was younger, and while I still don't consider myself a Bourbon expert I have expanded my selections over time. Knob Creek, Bulleit, and so forth, but I recently tried a Four Roses Small Batch, it was about $32 and I have to say it's quite nice. Not sure where you'd rank it, but it's on my radar now.

    Evan Williams BiB is by far my every day favorite. Around Atlanta I can find the 1.75L all day for $25.99! I have blind tasted this with $40, $50 & $60 + 750 ml bottles & it has won a few times. My wheelhouse is Barrel Proof/Cask Strength Whiskey. I have come to realize that I thoroughly enjoy BiB whiskey. 1792 BiB around Atlanta sells for $33.99 & is very good also. Keep up the good work guys & CHEERS🥃😋

      Jameson
      Crown Royal
      Bulleit Rye (or whatever the #1 selling American Rye Whiskey is, I'm only assuming that it is the Bulleit Rye. Either way, I'm confident nobody produces more Rye Whiskey than MGP, and Bulleit is a fine representation of their juice)

    • @trackvol
      @trackvol 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I know that is only 6 and you suggested 7. But I honestly can't think of another example without starting to get redundant. There's already a lot of overlap between JD & JB, just one went through charcoal filter and one didn't. You could throw in Seagram's 7 Crown, but that's closer to vodka than Whiskey (about 80% "neutral grain alcohol"). We could throw in a Japanese or Indian whisky (5 of the 7 best selling whiskies by volume are from India but get very little attention in North America) The next 2 top selling non-Indian whiskies that are not in my list of 6 is Ballantine's and Chivas Regal., They are both Scotch like Johnnie Walker. So my recommendation is to just stop at 6 rather than trying shoe-horn a 7th brand into the mix. If you really want to reach for 7, rather than adding another Scotch (the two previously mentioned , or Bourbon (Maker's Mark), or Canadian whisky (Canadian Club), I would consider a Japanese Whisky just so that it has a representation in the video. Previously would go with a Suntory or Black Nikka.

    As a blue collar dad providing for a family on a budget EWBiB and WT101 are my go-to's for nightly sipping. They are fantastic. I'll have EW Black for mixing if I want a cold drink during the afternoon. Iam sure a lot are better but living up here in Seattle its spendy to buy alcohol. We have the highests taxes on booze in the country.

    I only had Rare Breed out of those. I'd maybe put Maker's 46 on that list. It was the first Bourbon I ever had and it was beautiful when I tried it at a bar in Berlin during my holidays. It's less than 40€ here, so I'd still consider it somewhat value.

Even when I discovered the Old Forester Rye and started using it as my well cocktail whiskey I still ignored the more expensive stuff. Big mistake!
