shoutout to everyone watching Bourbon videos in the morning 😭😭 great vid, gents
Glad to know, not the only 1😂
I'm on most mornings for trading streams and I am PUMPED every time there is a new morning video to start my day :D
Night shift, so SOMETIMES I catch these early bird specials.
Mainly for research 😉
HAAAA!!! I need prepare for the evening's setup as early as possible!!!
@@keithdonnell1241research… 😂
This is exactly what so many bourbon fans want to see more of in the market, quality competitors in the value category, $30 and under. Any brand deserves a try for releasing something like that as opposed to vying for the higher MSRP.
I mean Wild Turkey 101 basically is a control pour because its just so quintessential.
Good point. It is so good for like $20. It’s the standard
I love the Wild Turkey! I'm presently enjoying the Rare Breed. fantastic stuff!
Picked it up at my Sam's club here in Florida 2 weeks ago. $19.98! Now on my 2nd bottle. Totally agree with your review. One of the best everyday budget bottles available, you won't be disappointed.
I'm with Kurt - not a big "Jim Beam" label fan. However, I love Knob Creek. So I am ready to give this JB 7-year a try as soon as I can find one! Thank you!
Wild Turkey 101 is my go to when I want a good pour sometimes
Baker's 7 vs Beam 7 would be a worthy battle
No contest on price anyway
I've tasted both and quite honestly it seems that Beam saturated the marked with Baker 7 and then changed the label to the Beam 7. They taste identical.
Knob Creek 9 to me would be a better comparison. Closer proof and price. Comparing anything to any single barrel product is a fools game since the single barrel will change in profile/taste constantly. Knob Creek 9, Wild Turkey 101/Rare Breed and Makers Cask are my 3 go to bourbons depending on my mood.
@@markfischer6057 Probably just dropped the proof to make more bottles.
@@markfischer6057even with the 17 proof difference and bakers being a single barrel/ a bit older?
Here in Illinois, this is for $19 at Sams club ! Sounds like a great deal and looking forward to picking one up and trying it !!
22.99 at Total Wine in Texas.
Thanks for the tip! Just went to Sam's, Chicago and got it for your listed price
Same in Missouri.
I have an empty JB Black bottle from the mid 90’s. This was my go to back then and it was $24. On the front label it had stated Double Aged, Aged 8 Years, front and center on every bottle. It was 86 proof then also. Now the bottles just read extra aged, this started in 2015, and they sell for $20, so it is anyone’s guess as to how old Jim Beam Black is now days. So the 7 year is almost what it used to be 25 years ago. And the price is the same.
The "now hang on!" 😂 There's nothing I love more than a solid bottle under $30. I just finished my benchmark single barrel (which i enjoyed for $25) and was debating on what to buy next. Looks like this is it!
Of you have had the classic old grand dad 114 , you.might need that in your life. Cheap high proof and taatey. It is pretty heavy on cinimon , I thibk that makes a killer old fashioned.
Love Wild Turkey!
I second this.
101🤘🥃🤠
I like the “let’s rationalize getting a bottle for home etc “ hilarious! My first Beam was 1969 and it never fails to take the edge off a hard days work! The older Beams definitely were treats along the way. Thanks for sharing! Cheers!
Yet, another great review. Thank you for sharing! I relate to the interaction with your son, Trent. I have a similar relationship with my son. I love every minute that we share! Cheers to you both!
I started my bourbon journey with Jim Beam. This makes me very happy to have such a rich bourbon at a great budget price! I can't wait to see it arrive in Michigan.
Fantastic segment. I love WT101 and especially WT Single Barrel (which is triple $ in our area). Can't wait to try JB 7.
Great show, I was curious about this one. After watching another person break this down looks like I will have to grab this and try it out. Thanks guys, and Trenton hope you feel better soon.
Went out and bought the new black 7 year bottle. I agree with your assessment. Great job!
I have been a big Turkey fan for a long time so I am interested in finding a bottle of the Beam Black 7 year to give it a try. I do like many of the Beam products and I will be glad to welcome another good budget priced bourbon to the group. Thanks for the review!
I love KC9, and when it goes on sale at grocery stores I've bought KC9 as low as 28 when on sale and you buy multiple bottles, and I cant see myself saving 2-5 bucks to go from 9 year to 7 year and 100 proof to 90proof for this. Still great review and happy to hear a distillery is still trying to put out better low price options.
I got one last week and this is $22 in my area. It’s one of my new favorite budget pours… it has a much better balance to it than other budget Beam products
Thank you gentlemen for the product information and comparison. Kurt, first glass to you my friend! I am getting very low in the cabinet on some daily sips and weekly pours. The budget has been hit so hard with all the price increases on everything. I will definitely pickup a bottle of this as well as some T101. Thank you both...
I have to try this one now. I never thought I'd go back to Jim Beam/Jack Daniels products after my bad experiences in high school with them but, my current favorite bottle on my shelf is my local stores pick of a Jack Daniels single barrel rye. I went back and bought two backups after a couple pours ....
Another great video! Thank you for sharing. Will be on the lookout for a bottle.
When I started to have drinks. I used to have Jim beam. Then I had other things that where awesome. Now I have to go back to my beginning. Wild Turkey 101 is one of my favs. So the 7 year sounds nice. I’m on the out look for it now. Thank you for the good videos too guys. Stay awesome.
Always love a good low shelf banger!
Picked up some 1792 small batch for the first time! I'm impressed! ❤
After watching this video, I picked up a bottle of this after work today. I agree, a solid budget bottle indeed. For me though, the wild turkey 101 wins the head to head. Great thing about bourbon is everyone’s palate is different so there’s no right or wrong. Thanks for the video SLB!
I love your videos. Honest and entertaining. All the way from Oz.
I had suggested on facebook to do a 2024 budget bottle episode. This goes along with that and i will definitely look for this. I do like beam products that i have tried and i do like wild turkey. I have yet to find a Jack Daniels product that i really like. They are not terrible, I am just not a fan. I will definitely look for this in my area. Get well Trenton.
Picked up this bottle last Saturday.
Specifically, as Trenton pointed out, because the labeling caught my eye. Then, the price (it was $19.98).
I guess this will need to be sampled this evening.
Can't wait ! The timing on this couldn't be better.
Thanx guys.
Can't wait to check this one out! I haven't seen anyone really talk about it, and I'm not quite sure how wide it's distribution is. But another great budget bourbon is David Nicholson 1883 White Label. Runs for about $30 out here in AZ
I picked up a bottle last week. Now I'm looking even more forward to trying it out!
Went to my local store where they got 1 bottle of the Jim Beam black 7 yr and as a Beam fan I had to grab it for $24.99. It’s very good and probably my favorite budget bottle.
local liquor shop did get a couple cases in so I think it’ll be everywhere
I remember when the patron list was maybe 5 names, in large print. Congrats on the channel’s success! 🥃🥃
Excited to find this one. Been going through all the Beam offerings. Haven't done Black yet, so maybe it was a good thing I held off on it.
Just picked up a 1.75 for $35 in Saint Louis. LOVE this pour!
Back when Beam Black had the 8 year age statement, I thought it was a superb budget bottle. They went away from the 8 years and the quality suffered. So happy to see them bring this back.
Concur. One year less but higher proof at a low price. Good deal. I get the Single Barrel between $20-25 around here, but I wouldn't turn down a glass of the 7 year.
Do you think they just turned the 8 into knob creek 9 ?
I haven't had regular Jim beam for 10-15 years. I had the Jim beam single barrel about 5 years ago...but I love Bookers and the intentions behind each profile of it. I also really like Little Book.
😃😃
Great vid as always! $23 down here in Deep South Texas before tax. Sooo good!
Love 101! Looking forward to this episode!
I will be picking up a bottle this week. I bet that it would be a good mixer for an old fashioned
Jim Beam & Knob Creek are killing it lately! Some of the best values in the bourbon game. -Russ
Great episode! We will be looking for this!
I love Bakers 7 so cant wait to try this!
Excited to grab this. Beam is the king of budget stuff that drinks well for the price. In fact Old Tub has been my go to for a few years now. BiB and drinks well neat and in cocktails.
Couldn't agree more. Old Tub is a sleeper that snobs love to hate. It, and OGD Bonded, are both fantastic
This one hit my area today.
Such a good find. To me it’s like Knob Creek 7.5 and just almost 9.
Really solid. For sure top budget.
Darn it. I've been wanting to repurchase Wt 101 about keeping my options open and now this comes along to try out
I like both JB and WT so this just shows I need to get a bottle of Black JB. Knob creek single barrel is my go to. It’s available and it’s affordable which is what I’m all about. Great new looking bottle design from JB the old version is a bit plain. Enjoy!!
Thank you so much for the video. I never would’ve thought to try the Jim Beam seven I bought a bottle on Friday man thank you thank you thank you that is delicious. I got the 1.75 L bottle for $42 in western Arkansas. It is delicious thank you very much, I love your videos
Welcome back Trent!!
It's great to see the big players pulling out all the stops in such a saturated and competitive market. Products like this puts the pressure on across the bourbon world for good pours at a great price.
Great show fellas! Not traditionally a Jim Beam fan, but I’m definitely seeing this one out to try!
Thanks, I'm all in on budgets that taste above. 👍🥃 Cheers.
I passed on this bottle yesterday thinking it was just a new label on the extra aged, back in the 80s I used to drink white label before they reduced the proof. I have to have a bottle now, since y'all are the third to give it such a good review.
Cheers 🍻
Love the curveball T served up. Great way to reduce observer bias in your tasting. I will run out and buy this because I am currently SUPER annoyed at the crazy high prices for decent but not exciting bourbons and whiskeys.
Howdy boys!!!! I love those budget picks as well!!! Strong work!!!
Oh and great to see you back Trent hope you get better soon 👍 ❤
I love when budget bottles have age statements. I’m going to have to keep my eye out for one of these.
Great vid, I love the invite you put out and so far I pretty much agree with both of you,still very young in the bourbon game and I was wondering if there is any major difference between Kentucky bourbon and Tennessee bourbon other than location,have you every done a Ky vs Tn blind?
I'm with you guys, Not a shelf bottle Beam fan but those tasting notes are right in my wheelhouse.
I just bought a 1.75 in this for 44 bucks and I will tell you this will be my new go to mixer without a doubt
Nice video! I love the budget reviews. I love WT101, but I am also a big Knob Creek fan. Can't find KC12 near me. 😪 However, Beam 7 is in North Dallas area and is $22.99 for 750ml and $39.99 for 1.75L. 😁I know what my next try will be!
Something about age stated bourbon makes a difference. Brought a WT101 8 year from travels and it is so good, I think it beats an average Kentucky Spirit batch, and blows RR10 year out of the water. Totally believe what they’re saying about this Beam product-will be on the lookout.
Definitely gonna give this a shot. But also, the Booker’s comparison you gotta remember that the Booker’s barrels are put together in Booker’s personal sweet spot of the warehouse where it gets the best air circulation and mix between high and dry and sweet and low. I think the warehouse influence is probably the biggest factor in what makes Booker’s what it is.
Oh no. My Destiny world and Whiskey worlds are colliding! 🤯
@@hafrothunderDestiny drove a lot of us to whiskey 😂
I enjoy WT101, OF 100 and OGD Bonded, finally got a Early Times BIB so I’ll gladly enjoy adding this to the budget lineup 😊🥃 Great review and head to head guys🥃🥃
Looking forward to trying it. Thanks
Good Review! And thank You!
I've held out on buying Jim Beam.
I was served an Old Fashioned w/ Beam and it was delicious. Had another, same. Bought a bottle last week and surprise, Dad's old go to bottle is just fine. Have to try the 7 year now..and I do love WT 101, it's my first bourbon buy.
I’ve tried different ones they are all kinda meh. The extra aged has been the better of them all so I’m looking forward to trying this one.
@Bushy556 I used to enjoy the Jim Beam Double Aged 8 year. It kind of lost something when it became "Extra Aged".
I will have to look for a bottle this weekend.
This video is the definition of this channel, let's identify and share really good and really affordable (aka GREAT VALUE) whiskeys. Thanks for the excuse to stop by a few liquor stores tomorrow guys!
Haven't seen it on the shelf here in Texas yet but I'll be on the lookout now. I like Beam Black, and Knob, and Bookers. Id love to find another good budget bottle.
Darn darn darn, now I’ve gotta go out and buy JB7 before the price goes up. You two are the cause of beverage price increases 🤣😂. Great show guys but I’ll NEVER give up my WT101😂.
This was great. Well done Trenton.
Im gonna try it. Thanks!
I’m impressed that Kurt liked the JB7 because I know he hasn’t loved some other Beam products. I’ll definitely get this one. 🎉
Love you guys together, need to put Mom on the screen. She's obviously the talent. Started on Beam Classic, going to have to try 7 year.
I picked up my first bottle of Jim Beam 7yr. Black a couple weeks ago at Sam’s for $24.00 I was also pleasantly surprised. I’ll be getting another one soon. 😎👍👏🏻
Beam's shot at Benchmark, I guess ... cool, I look forward to trying it.
“Now hang on, now why did you do that” 😂🤣😂. I felt the same way as a lover of WT 101
Keep em coming!
Awesome Juice! Picked mine up @ Jim Beam.
Early Times BIB definately is is my #1 after scoring 2 bottles finally here in St. Petersburg, Fl @ $ 19.99 each which was a clear steal! I am a WT101, EW BIB ,OF100 ,Fighting Cock, Ezra Brooks99, OGDBIB fan ( all great values) but the Early Times BIB is my new #1 😎I will definately try the JB 7 yr for sure!
I like the JB black extra aged except for the proof point. But for a cheap, low proof sipper its solid. Looking forward to trying this one. I have JB SB and a Bakers 107 to try it against as well.
Thank you for continuing to expand my pallet.
I'm anxious...... I loved Jim Beam 7 Year of the olden days.... I'll have to deviate from my Beam Double Oaked and give it a try.
Haven't seen this on the shelves yet here in Pa
The jim beam. Black extra aged used to carry a eight year age statement. They took it away around 9 years ago. And now I brought it back 1 year younger.
Haven’t found this locally at Binnys, but I did see it on Total Wine for $21.99.
Great pour!!!
Because of your review, I picked up a 1.75L @Hy-Vee in Iowa for $46.99. Tastes like dark chocolate. Great for the money.
Wild Turkey 101 has been my favorite everyday sipper, but I'm looking forward to trying the Jim Beam 7 year old.
Going to give this one a try for sure.
You have to do a real comparison every time you whip a name out. Thanks Trenton!! We love it as it's an on the spot shoot out comparison. Bourbon junkies does it and few others. He i hear a comparison that needs to happen right now. Don't just hype it and say oh it's better than or not as good as blah blah.
Oh, side not. Just tried some green river rye. Going through a bottle now. Tasty, not sweet, mild herbal, refreshing, medium dry, medium body, and a different rye spice than michters and a few others i've had. Cheers.
Ya’ll are killing me😂 Wild Turkey 101 is my daily pour! Now I’ve gotta get some Jim Beam 7 year.
Finally got my hands on one and it reminds me of Eagle Rare in that it’s lower proof with a solid age. For those who love Eagle rare but can’t find it for the right price.
Picked it up at local Sam's Club for $19. I too am impressed.
Beam came out with a couple budget winners before with the Repeal Batch and the Distiller's Cut. I'll be looking for the Beam 7 to see if it compares. Originally, the Beam black was aged 8 yrs, but they dropped that a few years ago. Its morphed a couple times since then. Hopefully this one is a as good as the other ones.
I already knew that Jim Beam can produce stuff that I like even more than Wild Turkey 101 - my favorite bourbon is Knob Creek. But I never expected to see something with the Jim Beam name on it beat the Turkey. I'll have to look for the 7 year next time I'm getting something I've not had before.
The head roll and eye bulge @ 4:10....by Trent...tells the whole story...he LIKES it!
