@@Mykkus it is thought because theoretically higher price=better quality. Not the case here. There’s no direct comparison for sure but EHT Rye is BT best rye that’s not an LE vs Jdsbbp rye which is the best jack Daniels rye not an le. Best against best
Next battle do it completely blind without the knowledge of distilleries beforehand. That should make the tasting comments really interesting to watch. Of course you’ll have to do several more until one distillery reigns supreme!
Great video. If it was broken down by price point, Jack would have likely done even better: 1) Jack no 7 v benchmark no 9; 2) JD bonded v Buffalo Trace; 3) JD Bonded rye v Saz rye. BTs sweet spot is that cheap single barrel and 10 yrs (ER is clutch).
Great show as always! I don't know how Wild Turkey might compete in anything like this but, that won't stop me from enjoying it! The Turkey Trot: Russell's Reserve 10yr, Kentucky Spirit, Russell's Reserve Single Barrel, and Wild Turkey Rare Breed! Cheers!
Do 16 matchups and then using the scores, create a bracket and do a massive tournament during March!!!... kind of make the 16 matchups from now (Sept) until March, like the "regular season" ... then March Madness for the National Champion Distiller!... in the future, you can do this with current yearly releases!
This was the most unhinged Dan i have seen in awhile; and we need more of it. Love this idea. Would love to see a High West vs. Redwood Empire for Dan and a Maker’s Mark vs. Four Roses for Sean
@@odehhaddad3959 true, but I was thinking both makers and FR only produce bourbons. I agree that Turkey would wipe the floor with WR, so maybe Michters is the better adversary then
@@TylerSmith-sq9oz hmm now you’re onto something. 4R v Michters. HH v Beam and maybe WT vs Buffalo Trace. Admittedly my favorite distilleries are WT, BT, Michters 4R. So I’d love so see those. I’d love to see peerless go against someone but what other distillery only offers at cask strength? Wonder how Peerless might do against a Bardstown.
Love the format! Only improvement in my eyes would be to do the distilleries blind then reveal at the end after all the ratings. Also be able to change which distillery is A & B throughout the ranking
Love the format on this video! Let’s see a few of the other distilleries lined up in the same way- duel to a champion! Also, now oddly curious on how Dan is gonna go about that blue ball on the whiskey 🤔
This is fun. I like this format. You could keep it going for a while and change up the categories depending on what’s available. Also there can be rock, paper, scissor situations where a #3 could beat a #1 depending on the matchups
I’m with you guys that JD barrel proof rye is fantastic. The ones I have scored this summer are 133.3 proof for $55.00. Just a whole shelf of them. I’m actually going to call and have someone I know very well pick me up a couple more of them.
I prefer JD, but BT is great stuff. I’m sure the antique bottles are crazy good, I’ve just never had the opportunity to purchase one. I’ve got a JD 10 and 12 though and they are awesome.
Fortunate to have a GTS 2023. It is amazing. The nose is literally cherry cola and the palate is cake. Objectively it does not holds up JD12 or Russell’s 15 cause some how it feels lacking when being compared. However, personally would drink that over anything because it is just best BT note and I love BT note.
Ive had a few antiques and while typically very good (wasnt a fan of 2022 gts) i dont think they are really greater than a lot of other bourbons on the market like jack bp picks, russells picks, ecbp etc
March madness distillery’s tournament. I won’t be able to touch most of the hard to find bottles in Texas but seeing how well the jack rye did I wanna try it now.
Please please do a Copper Fox distillery tasting from Williamsburg VA. Their stuff is so unique. Their Dawson,s Reserve is one of my favorites. But it's hard to get
EHT Straight Rye is ungodly good. However, JD Sib BP rye is/grassy AF for me. T least the bottle I had s solid sample from. I had much higher hopes for it.
This came out just as expected. BT cheap stuff is king but the JD high end is almost unbeatable. The one thing I do have to say since the JD Rye was the clear winner in this is that in the rye category the Peerless DO Rye is almost unbeatable in blinds from my experience.
I think the video idea is great, however I think it might be better to not know the dueling distilleries. Because some distilleries only have certain offerings for each category.
Turkey vs Heaven Hill
This
MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!
That would be a good one
Agreed
Agreed
"Battle of the Blender's"
Barrell vs Bardstown
love this!!
Let’s not forget the superior availability of the JD products pretty much across the board + almost always cheaper as a result.
Makes it better for me.
My dude spilled more GTS than I will ever sip in my life. 😂
Jack Daniels Barrel Proof Rye is hands down, bottle of the year from last year and now it's a regular shelfer. Love it
Dan was in exceptional form for this video.
Old Forester vs. Michter's
The Rye category was the huge swing and not even close. For fairness sake it probably should have been the Jack Bonded Rye vs Baby Saz
EHT Rye costs more and still lost
It’s not about cost. Single barrel cask strength vs a
Batched rye.
@@Mykkus it is thought because theoretically higher price=better quality. Not the case here. There’s no direct comparison for sure but EHT Rye is BT best rye that’s not an LE vs Jdsbbp rye which is the best jack Daniels rye not an le. Best against best
IMO that JD is the best rye period. It’s just not a good comparison imo. Single barrel rye would’ve been closer
@@Mykkus Correct, this comparison should have been against the non- barrel proof single barrel Rye.
Next battle do it completely blind without the knowledge of distilleries beforehand. That should make the tasting comments really interesting to watch. Of course you’ll have to do several more until one distillery reigns supreme!
👆 This is the play.
Heaven Hill vs. Jim Beam: Battle of the Nuts.
I absolutely love Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Barrel Proof. I’m so glad you guys did this video. I can’t wait to get my hands on the rye!
Great video. If it was broken down by price point, Jack would have likely done even better: 1) Jack no 7 v benchmark no 9; 2) JD bonded v Buffalo Trace; 3) JD Bonded rye v Saz rye. BTs sweet spot is that cheap single barrel and 10 yrs (ER is clutch).
I'm so glad you left that in the video!!!!
😂
Loved the format.
Can’t think of a good combination that I haven’t already seen and agree with Turkey vs Heaven Hill next
Best Bourbon RUclips channel period.
love this video idea . any four roses , turkey, heaven hill, old forester would be incredible as well
TRUE! Best ryes onbthe shelf is Jack Daniels and Sagamore!
Great show as always! I don't know how Wild Turkey might compete in anything like this but, that won't stop me from enjoying it! The Turkey Trot: Russell's Reserve 10yr, Kentucky Spirit, Russell's Reserve Single Barrel, and Wild Turkey Rare Breed! Cheers!
This is tough because JD has such a distinct flavor
This was good. Love how you guys found the cheaper vs Special
Everyone needs a little Dan in their life. Laughing throughout the whole video.
You’re either goofing like Dan or you’re glaring like Sean
Do 16 matchups and then using the scores, create a bracket and do a massive tournament during March!!!... kind of make the 16 matchups from now (Sept) until March, like the "regular season" ... then March Madness for the National Champion Distiller!... in the future, you can do this with current yearly releases!
Great video....Sagamore Rye vs all comers
The JDSBBP Rye is easily the best bottle I've had that's readily found on shelves and only $65.
This was the most unhinged Dan i have seen in awhile; and we need more of it. Love this idea. Would love to see a High West vs. Redwood Empire for Dan and a Maker’s Mark vs. Four Roses for Sean
Loved the episode format.... As mentioned below.... Turkey vs Heaven Hill.... Please good sirs make it happen!!
Heaven Hill vs Jim Beam
…
Makers Mark vs Four Roses
…
Wild Turkey vs Woodford Reserve
@@TylerSmith-sq9oz HH v Beam is good. Rest don’t quite fit. Woodford can’t hold a candle to turkey and makers are all wheaters.
@@odehhaddad3959 true, but I was thinking both makers and FR only produce bourbons. I agree that Turkey would wipe the floor with WR, so maybe Michters is the better adversary then

I love them both but the old Buffalo has my heart

Agree o the GTS, there is brilliance in it, but also something that keeps it from being elite.
Should have used JD bonded rye against EHTSR. I think that would have been a better comparison.
Came here to say this. Both are 100 proof. Perfect comparison
Put the RR15 back on the shelf and poured myself a green label SBBP Jack rye - liquid candy - you guys nailed it
Loved the video! Dan=comedy gold!
Heaven hill vs old forester
Really enjoyed this format fellas!! & laughed my ass off as well!! Totally agree on the JDSBBPR.. cheers!
Loved this one! I vote Turkey/Russels vs Heaven Hill
Would also love to see Jim Beam vs Jack Daniels down the line
Love the format on this video! Let’s see a few of the other distilleries lined up in the same way- duel to a champion! Also, now oddly curious on how Dan is gonna go about that blue ball on the whiskey 🤔
Old forester-Heaven hill
Definitely a fan of this format
I like the format. I think Jim Beam VS Heaven Hill. There are many offerings for each.
Never once have I even had a peanut/peanut butter note in a whiskey (screwball excluded). It is wild to hear what different people taste in whiskey.
I do enjoy Eagle Rare and EHT SB but I have to drive to the distillery. For high proof JD and OF are kings due to flavor and availability.
Awesome video, keep up the format!
Thank God they do taste different, both are good period.
You guys should do a march madness style bracket with this kinda format, could be a lotta fun to find the all around king of the distilleries
Like the format. Maybe do bracket style. Also would like to see HH, MM, 4R, OF.
This is fun. I like this format. You could keep it going for a while and change up the categories depending on what’s available. Also there can be rock, paper, scissor situations where a #3 could beat a #1 depending on the matchups
I like anything that pits Kentucky Whiskey v. Tennessee Whiskey
Love the format! Four Gate vs Bardstown
love this video style. Should give rankings and then do a bracket style
I’m with you guys that JD barrel proof rye is fantastic. The ones I have scored this summer are 133.3 proof for $55.00. Just a whole shelf of them. I’m actually going to call and have someone I know very well pick me up a couple more of them.
I just picked up a JDSBBPR the other day, going to crack it open this weekend!
I have been waiting all my life for this video. Thanks guys!!!
Love this video format. Turkey vs heaven hill next please
I prefer JD, but BT is great stuff. I’m sure the antique bottles are crazy good, I’ve just never had the opportunity to purchase one. I’ve got a JD 10 and 12 though and they are awesome.

Great vid, Gents. Love these 2 distilleries.
I do like the format
I'd love it if you just rotated all major distilleries in this dual. Ex. Buffalo Trace against all the rest and then do it for Javk Daniels and so on.
Very fun series. I'd like to see Old Forester vs. Elijah Craig.
March madness distillery’s tournament. I won’t be able to touch most of the hard to find bottles in Texas but seeing how well the jack rye did I wanna try it now.
I’d love to see Redwood Empire vs someone - they’re my favorite distillery right now
Dan is unhinged in this video and I'm here for it
Great format keep it going
Like the format do it not knowing the distilleries.
Heaven hill and wild turkey
Bardstown and barrel
Both are in my top 5. Have to say JD by a narrow margin.
One of the guys in this vidya was maybe feeling it. That's cool. Because I was too while watching it.
Yes
I didn't think this was ever gonna be a question
Love both distilleries. But if I could only have one, I would take JD because of the barrel proof rye. JD10 and 12 don’t hurt either.
This is a great format!
Very cool concept!
agree
Old Forester single barrel rye might stand up to Jack's rye!!!!
Not me, running out and buying JD SB Rye, and JD SB BP after this video...
Please please do a Copper Fox distillery tasting from Williamsburg VA. Their stuff is so unique. Their Dawson,s Reserve is one of my favorites. But it's hard to get
Lawrenceburg Throwdown. Four roses vs. Wild Turkey
EHT Straight Rye is ungodly good. However, JD Sib BP rye is/grassy AF for me. T least the bottle I had s solid sample from. I had much higher hopes for it.
Fun video concept. Is Jim Beam vs Wild Turkey next? Or Brown Foreman vs Heaven Hill?
Buffalo all the way. Now on the other hand the Jim Beam 7 black label is pretty dang good. If you guys haven't tried it yet go grab ya some
You should do them where you don’t know the distilleries beforehand
I don't like rye, but I do love jack barrel proof rye
Gonna need to compare the JDBP Rye vs the EHTBP Rye when you guys get a chance
Great video!!
Never been more proud of my home state of TN.
Gotta put Michter's in there just to see the reaction of their "barrel proof" bottle at 94 proof...
I would like to see Koval vs Hudson Whiskey NY
Winner should hold the title until unseated. BF vs BF showdown, JD vs OF.
Still waitin on that Scooby Doo shirt to be made available!
This came out just as expected. BT cheap stuff is king but the JD high end is almost unbeatable. The one thing I do have to say since the JD Rye was the clear winner in this is that in the rye category the Peerless DO Rye is almost unbeatable in blinds from my experience.
I think the video idea is great, however I think it might be better to not know the dueling distilleries. Because some distilleries only have certain offerings for each category.
I know it's the same distillery but I'd love to see a Wild Turkey vs Russell Reserve.
High West "Mid Summers Dram " dropped this week in Utah.
I’d like to see Russell’s vs Buffalo trace for sure.
After Dan dropped the F bomb, Sean & I IN STEREO has the exact same reaction
JDSBBP Rye is so good for its price it makes it less fun to hunt other whiskey
I have a 141.2 proof JDSBBP Rye first batch if yall wanna try it. How do I get you a sample?
Still waiting to order 5x of those Scooby Doo Bourbon Junkies shirts for me and my mates....
Battles of the Big B's. Beam Suntory vs. Brown Forman
Jack Daniel’s SB proof Rye is the GOAT of Ryes!!
Heaven Hill vs Jim Beam
Wild Turkey vs Old Forester
I missed y’all. Turkey vs bardstown
