I love Buffalo Trace. I live about an hour away from the distillery and enjoy visiting the distillery to pick up a few bottles at MSRP. By the way, I just had them send me a Gift Shop Price List today and the current MSRP follows: Blanton's Single Barrel 750ml $63.00; Buffalo Trace 750 ml $27.00; Eagle Rare 750 ml $40.00; EH Taylor Small Batch 750 ml $45.00; and Weller Special Reserve 750 ml $30.00. Love your videos, keep up the good work.
I actually did a tasting at one point and I preferred Eagle Rare over Blantons. I was a little surprised at that myself because of all the hype. From this journey I have learned to just drink what I like and forget the hype.
I mean ER is “kind of” a single barrel (it’s not a blend but technically one barrel kinda bleeds into another) and is 10 years old, it shouldn’t be shocking if you like it more.
I actually got into bourbon and whiskey over the last year and it's been an outstanding journey two of my go-to's is Evan Williams white label and bardstown origin series absolutely incredible! I've had a few buffalo trace but I haven't actually owned a bottle myself yet so I'm excited to get some soon!
Buffalo Trace Hunter! I Love Buffalo Trace. I like it so much; I had my daughter who lives in Arizona buy me a few bottles to keep at her house when I visit from Ohio. Trying to find a safe way for her to ship them to me. LOL! They were on sale for under $20 a bottle. It's hard to find sometimes where I live. I guess you can say, I'm a "hype hunter." I have paid over MSRP for a few bottles because of being hard to find. I'm a novice but becoming a bourbon enthusiast. Loved the video and will be sharing with some other friends who are getting into bourbons and whiskeys like me.
You guys are spot on with this video. Good bottles at MSRP or slightly above. Unfortunately, too many shops lure in the newer enthusiasts and price gouge them. Hoping new production capacity is able to make these products more readily available in about 5 years.
I work at a grocer that regularly gets Blanton's. I can get it for $70+tax pretty much weekly along with Eagle Rare and Buffalo Trace. I do enjoy them all but have never been able to get a hold of any Weller as im not willing to pay 2x or 2.5x SRP. Love hearing the reviews and keep up the great vids!
Lets see, I have 3 bottles of ER, 2 BT, 2 WSR, 1 Blantons and 0 ETL. I enjoy them all, but go back and forth between ER and WSR most often. Keep up the great videos, thank you BRT Patreons!
A visit to Buffalo Trace distillery gave me a clear understanding of how they produce great bourbon. This video gives a clear idea of the BT business model. Thanks.
Really appreciated this video. Been into bourbon now for about 7 months and have had Blantons and Buffalo trace and that’s it from them. And benchmark which I love, but super great to see what the others were all about.
Love the message of BRT. Been a huge advocate of sharing the bottles that I acquire to help those that are getting into Bourbon. Was always discouraged having to purchased large bottles to try something new.
Toured BT last year. Loved the facility and the staff. It was the best distillery visit of our trip. ET Lee is the only one of the line up that I've not had. Keep up the great content 🤘🏻
Great episode, gents! I have 3 of these and have tried the other 2, and I couldn’t agree more - all great pours at SRP, but they’re not worth double or triple that. I’ve made Manhattans with both BT and Weller SR and I think they’re both great for that purpose. Unfortunately the Weller is too hard to find here in WI to do that very often.
Keep up the content fellas! I have more of a chance finding an actual buffalo than some of this juice in Maine... I enjoy sipping bourbon but I don't enjoy having to join a circus to do it so I end up being happy if I even find a bottle of standard buffalo trace on the shelf but haven't had the pleasure of securing most of these but routinely spend my bourbon funds exploring Turkey & Heaven Hill selections as well as the more readily available craftys (Woodinville/Barrel/Wilderness Trail) that seem to be making it north these last few years. My wife and I would be stoked to try these but either way we will enjoy a evening pour to more of your content in the future. Cheers.
I’m not too far along on my bourbon journey. Buffalo Trace and Weller SR are actually my current top 2. I have yet to get my hands on any of these other bottles. Thank y’all for the great videos and content.
I love how you explained hype rage, because I had that when I had my first buffalo trace. Was so hyped and it was nothing special. Excellent content brothers.
I like your comments. Also, I’m a big BT distillery fan. I have BT, ER, Blanton’s, Elmer T Lee, Benchmark, and EHT that I can think of off the top of my head.
Definitely hyped, but i look forward to the expansion and maybe seeing more show up on shelves. Lately this just doesn't show up near me on shelves, and always marked up heavily when it does. $50 for base Buffalo Trace, for example. Weller SR gets put behind glass at $80. I'm optimistic that eventually I'll start seeing some of these products around and can try. But still no hate on my end for the hype, just jealousy!
Dang what a great blind this giveaway would be for the winner. I have been drinking Weller since 1990 when I started working at Stizel Weller Distillery. I had some Blantons in the late 80s, didn’t like it and haven’t had it since. Thank you for sharing your fabulous collection of bottles.
I will admit that at the start of my bourbon and whiskey journey I absolutely was hunting BT bottles. Now I am just trying to taste as many different brands as I can to narrow down my preferences. Keep on keeping it real guys. Great video as always.
Nice video. I got to tour Buffalo Trace a couple years back. It was an awesome experience. The smell walking up to the rick houses was buttery better than I could've imagined. Can't wait to do dinner more tours some day.
Great show as always! I've enjoyed the offerings from Buffalo Trace that were available at MSRP but, I refuse to pay beyond 10 - 15% over for them! I've tried their Benchmark Full Proof when they were available, and I affectionately refer to it as Buffalo Trace on steroids! As always, y'all are very informative with your content, which can be very helpful when shopping. I will be observing Lent with an abstinence but, I will be keeping my eyes open to start shopping for an Easter collection. Cheers!
Blanton's did for me EXACTLY what you described. It blew away the woodford reserves, knob creeks, and OGD 114s that I had tried and really showed me there's another level to bourbons.
Thanks for the video. I enjoy Weller, Eagle Rare and Buffalo Trace at srp. I really enjoy the single barrel expressions of BT and ER Thanks for the giveaways. 🤙
I definitely enjoy Buffalo Trace products. The other day, I met a guy that said "Blanton's is my jam". I told him, I enjoy Blanton's to. However, there are better bourbon out there that costs less. He asked, like what? I told him, try Knob Creek 9, 1792 Bottled and Bond for two to try. We did and he agreed, that they both tasted as good in not way better. Anyway, just wanted to share. Love your channel.
I work in the business, where each of these items are at SRP. The problem is they are of course allocated we don’t get much. People are constantly asking for these items which are great pours each and every one but I have bourbon that is better. The reason why I say better is because it’s readily available. We have barrel picks that range from the $30 to $89. Out of all the selections on your bar top I would go with Eagle Rare.
If I had to pick a desert island bottle I think I would pick Benchmark Full Proof over all the bottles featured in this video. They are all good, but I like a little more proof.
I agree with the point on the overhype. I think some of it is related to the approachability of their products. They tend to drink very fruity and sweet without the nuttiness or minerality that other distilleries have. New people in the category tend to love the flavor profile.
Enjoyed the 2 Blanton’s that I had in the past (bottles), and Buffalo Trace, but Eagle Rare is still the favorite (1 and half bottles remaining). Keep up the great videos.
Just started enjoying bourbon in the past year. I like your videos and find them very informative and help me to appreciate the nuances of the different bottles. Keep up the great work!
In VA pretty much anything from BT is allocated. I’ve nearly written them off my search list. The Weller SR is probably my least favorite. I had a 1.75 that I purchased at a bourbon drop a while ago and served it to friends to get rid of it. Like you said, it’s not bad but there are so many things that are better and available. Great video.
Love Buffalo Trace products. Been on several tours. Some day, I'm hoping to be able to purchase an EHT Barrel Proof if I win the lottery. Thanks for all y'all do. I've learned a great deal from y'all over the past 4 years. Cheers and stay safe!
So glad you guys covered this. I LOVE buffalo trace and their products. I can always find a buffalo trace wherever I go and always have a bottle at home. I found a special reserve for $20 and thought it was so random how it was cheaper than regular buffalo trace yet harder to find. I feel like this video helped, thanks fellas! Ps, seeing a bottle of buffalo trace in 1.75L form is one of the best sights ever lol
@@Oooooo-xi2mx $59?!?!? That’s a great deal! I saw the 1.75L at a bar next to the 750 ml on the top shelf and was optically having a hard time figuring out if the 1.75L was a 750 and the 750 was a mini lol Cheers! Hope that one lasts a long time!
Once again great content that does not belittle entry level bottles! Funny how you can’t find Buffalo Trace here in Virginia, but in Florida it’s how many do you want. Wife and I look forward to all your videos and appreciate the welcoming community you’ve inspired.
Recently got my hands on a bottle of Eagle Rare and it's definitely my most reliable pour. It's leaps and bounds more satisfying than most of the bottles i've tried and own.
Great video! Eagle Rare used to be one of my daily pours. But for the past 2 years, I had to switch to knob creek 9 as I can't afford to buy a $70 bottle of Eagle Rare every other week, due to the hype.
Really enjoy videos like this y'all do. Good explanation of the mash bills, the hoped for pricing, and what - in your opinion - is worthwhile to buy. Thanks guys!
I will admit, I am a Buffalo Trace fanboy and I keep all of their "standard" allocated bottles in my cabinet at all times. Living 30 minutes from the distillery helps. I have everything from BT standard to Pappy in my cabinet. EH Taylor is my absolute favorite out of everything in the cabinet. Now, Benchmark is a real sleeper pick. Those are AWESOME bourbons and at the price point you can't beat it.
Out of most of the Bourbon lines I have tried Buffalo Trace falls in at number 2 for my pallet. Good stuff for sure but not the best out there. It is like Christmas though if you find a bottle for msrp for almost any BT product honestly. Thanks for all you guys do!
Solid video review of these bottles from the Buffalo Trace distillery 👌🏽...I enjoy the Buffalo Trace neat and will occasionally put together an Old Fashioned with the Eagle Rare 10...Delicious!!! 🥃🥃🥃
Love bt especially ER! I’m a wheater at heart but can’t find Weller anywhere around here but here’s to finally finding that bottle! Great video fellas!
Great video as always, the topic of overrated products is such a real thing, based off your past recommendations I picked up Bechmark Single Barrel and compared to the products you have there I would say it is under rated, keep up the great work
I love some Buffalo Trace at MSRP! The basic BT is one of the first bourbons my friends got me to try that I liked. We share a flask of it when we backpack at Red River Gorge.
You guys did an amazing job again. I love learning about behind the scenes. Thank you for explaining it clearly about the billion dollar expansion. Excited to see what's next! 🥃
You guys did a great job with this topic. Buffalo Trace bourbons absolutely shouldn't be as polarizing as they are. Good representatives in their respective categories, but unfortunately a lot of new bourbon lovers come in with no idea how to evaluate current pricing.
I visited Buffalo Trace mid July 2013, a few days after Elmer T. Lee passed away and during our tour, they relayed his story to us and we watched as they were bottling Elmer T. Lee Single Barrel. I picked up a bottle from the gift shop for the memory (date stamp of 7/26/2012). I don't recall the price, but was likely in the $30-40 range at the time and still have some of it left to do this day (though I haven't tasted it recently and it may be truly oxidized by now). That said, I don't think I'll ever buy another unless it's at MSRP. While it was a fairly decent pour, I don't feel it's worth the markup or the hype, but am still glad I purchased the one I have more than 11 years ago.
Love you guys! I live in Fredericksburg Virginia, home of the Bowman Distillery, they are also owned by Sazarc.. Rumor has it they’re bourbon in BT mashbill #2
BT makes a LOT of amazing whiskey and hopefully like Stagg has been lately, we'll see more of it so the secondary insanity calms down and more people can enjoy their great bourbons. Cheers!
George T Stagg, Stagg (Jr), and Eagle Rare are my all time top 3 favorites. That said I would never pay over MSRP and I thoroughly enjoy the hunt/lotteries/raffles. I hunt around Houston :)
Welcome! If you have a Facebook, come join our community: facebook.com/groups/bourbonrealtalkcommunity. You can ask questions without fear of whiskey trolls.
If you get to Buffalo Trace Distillery on the right day, you can find Eagle Rare, Blanton’s, or EH Taylor at slightly above MSRP. Last time I purchased a Blanton’s there it cost $71.
I think BT has been instrumental in getting folks interested in bourbon. Depending on your perspective that can be good or bad, lol. I was a lifelong JD#7 drinker, I had no idea there was a whole world of options out there until one night at a local bar I tried Buffalo Trace. It's been a really fun rabbit hole since then.

Great breakdown of the different products from same mash bills
Visited Buffalo Trace Distillery last year. Great video explaining the hype of BT and explaining the bourbon market.
Great video, guys! Buffalo Trace was my entrance into enjoying bourbon. It'll always have a special place in my heart.
Nice video. I got to tour Buffalo Trace a couple years back. It was an awesome experience. The smell walking up to the rick houses was buttery better than I could've imagined. Can't wait to do dinner more tours some day.
Thank you guys for such fun videos..love buffalo trace..that's what drew me into this journey! Cheers and much love

Agree with a lot of what you shared here. Also - big fan of baseline BT for highball drinks, old fashions, etc.
Just started enjoying bourbon in the past year. I like your videos and find them very informative and help me to appreciate the nuances of the different bottles. Keep up the great work!

Ps, seeing a bottle of buffalo trace in 1.75L form is one of the best sights ever lol
Yeah, I bought a 1.75ltr Eagle Rare bottle for $59 a few years ago just because of how impressive it is.
@@Oooooo-xi2mx $59?!?!? That’s a great deal! I saw the 1.75L at a bar next to the 750 ml on the top shelf and was optically having a hard time figuring out if the 1.75L was a 750 and the 750 was a mini lol
Cheers! Hope that one lasts a long time!
Good, solid review. I have a lot of Buffalo Trace products. They’re all delicious but I do think they’re overhyped.
Once again great content that does not belittle entry level bottles! Funny how you can’t find Buffalo Trace here in Virginia, but in Florida it’s how many do you want. Wife and I look forward to all your videos and appreciate the welcoming community you’ve inspired.
It’s weird how they fired the last distributor that was screwing up and now the new one still can’t figure out how to distribute nationwide.
Recently got my hands on a bottle of Eagle Rare and it's definitely my most reliable pour. It's leaps and bounds more satisfying than most of the bottles i've tried and own.
I have 3 of those bottles and love them. Special Reserve being the best neat
Thanks again for the content. This serves a great reminder of what these actually are and help help the new ones on their whiskey journey fight fomo.
Great video! Eagle Rare used to be one of my daily pours. But for the past 2 years, I had to switch to knob creek 9 as I can't afford to buy a $70 bottle of Eagle Rare every other week, due to the hype.
Really enjoy videos like this y'all do. Good explanation of the mash bills, the hoped for pricing, and what - in your opinion - is worthwhile to buy. Thanks guys!
I have only seen Buffalo Trace near me and it was a barrel pick as well. Too tasty to not drink back. Appreciate the channel.
BT is my go to daily! Looking forward to a day in the future when we see Weller or Elmer sitting on the shelf!
I will admit, I am a Buffalo Trace fanboy and I keep all of their "standard" allocated bottles in my cabinet at all times. Living 30 minutes from the distillery helps.

Thanks for the informative info on the different mashbills.
I do love some buffalo trace. I have had 107 antique. Really good sipper. Great content guys
Great video as always, the topic of overrated products is such a real thing, based off your past recommendations I picked up Bechmark Single Barrel and compared to the products you have there I would say it is under rated, keep up the great work
Great perspective on Buffalo Trace keeping prices low. I hadn’t thought about it that way before.
I love some Buffalo Trace at MSRP! The basic BT is one of the first bourbons my friends got me to try that I liked. We share a flask of it when we backpack at Red River Gorge.
You guys did an amazing job again. I love learning about behind the scenes. Thank you for explaining it clearly about the billion dollar expansion. Excited to see what's next! 🥃
Great job, gentlemen! Keep connecting the bourbon community to awesome content.
Thank you for the video. Very informative for a bourbon beginner
You guys did a great job with this topic. Buffalo Trace bourbons absolutely shouldn't be as polarizing as they are. Good representatives in their respective categories, but unfortunately a lot of new bourbon lovers come in with no idea how to evaluate current pricing.
I love the channel, and I’m a huge buffalo trace fan. Thanks for laying it all out on the table.
Thanks for watching!
I’m new to the joy of bourbon and want to say Thanks! for all the expert information.
Love the page. Informative and your tastes align with mine.
Keep the trace coming, looking forward to the day 107 sits on the shelf again!!
Great lineup! I have had four of those and loved them. I have not been able to get my hands on the Elmer T Lee and won’t pay secondary.
Great content! Love BT products and your message.
Great stuff. Doing a blind tonight during Super Bowl!
Thanks for the video! A big fan of BT, particularly Eagle Rare. Recently scored a bottle of Blantons and E.H. Taylor around MSRP so stoked about that.
Buffalo Trace bourbon cream is my favorite, it was the first so it will always be the favorite 🤣 great job as always guys🥃
I visited Buffalo Trace mid July 2013, a few days after Elmer T. Lee passed away and during our tour, they relayed his story to us and we watched as they were bottling Elmer T. Lee Single Barrel. I picked up a bottle from the gift shop for the memory (date stamp of 7/26/2012).

While it was a fairly decent pour, I don't feel it's worth the markup or the hype, but am still glad I purchased the one I have more than 11 years ago.
Love the content. Buffalo Trace is one of my favorites.
Great video gentlemen! I think the explanation of 'hype rage' was great-so true!
Love every video on your guy's channel! You are both awesome to listen to!
Love you guys! I live in Fredericksburg Virginia, home of the Bowman Distillery, they are also owned by Sazarc.. Rumor has it they’re bourbon in BT mashbill #2
BT makes a LOT of amazing whiskey and hopefully like Stagg has been lately, we'll see more of it so the secondary insanity calms down and more people can enjoy their great bourbons. Cheers!
New to looking at all these brands and flavors. My brother is helping lead me through the weeds.
Great video, well explained. Have always enjoyed BT products, Benchmark Bonded is one of my favorites, inexpensive, and easy to get. Cheers! 🥃
George T Stagg, Stagg (Jr), and Eagle Rare are my all time top 3 favorites. That said I would never pay over MSRP and I thoroughly enjoy the hunt/lotteries/raffles. I hunt around Houston :)
Love the stuff you’re putting out- wish you’d restock the coasters & smoking kit in your store.
I think you guys hit the nail on the head with this video. I agree 100% on Blantons but only if it is closer to MSRP. Very good but way overhyped.
Love the content and honesty about this lineup! Cheers.
Thanks, we appreciate you!
❤BT! Some of the best tours distilleries have to offer!

Great video. Enjoying a bottle of Eagle Rare now.
Total Wine in Baltimore, MD had a Mashbill #2 Eagle Rare about 4 years ago. That was pretty cool to grab one of those.
Love the show and love all the bourbons explained. Thank you!
Great video as always! I do like Buffalo Trace.
Thanks guys! I am just getting started. Much to learn and sample

Just got my 1st bottle of blanton's today at MSRP. Looking forward to comparing it to some of my other favorites!
Elmer T Lee was my favorite bottle for 25-30 fifteen years ago. As much as I have a fondness for that time, I can’t justify chasing it or overpaying.
If you get to Buffalo Trace Distillery on the right day, you can find Eagle Rare, Blanton’s, or EH Taylor at slightly above MSRP. Last time I purchased a Blanton’s there it cost $71.
I think BT has been instrumental in getting folks interested in bourbon. Depending on your perspective that can be good or bad, lol. I was a lifelong JD#7 drinker, I had no idea there was a whole world of options out there until one night at a local bar I tried Buffalo Trace. It's been a really fun rabbit hole since then.
Enjoying the show guys. Keep up the great content!
You guys are great!! Keep up the great videos!! Love BT!
Love you, guy, Patreon family is great, and we love Buffalo Trace products.
Thanks for the support!
