Blanton's is only "good" in the grand scheme. It's worth $70 or $75, but no more than that. Its sibling whiskeys have just as much to offer at half the price. Store picks of Buffalo Trace are especially nice, and it's fun to see what sort of single barrel the year will bring. Best bourbon for the price is Evan Williams Bottled-in-Bond. Wild Turkey 101 is also an excellent value.
Got started with Buffalo trace... considering new allocation issues, have tried many others. Now I grab oldforester, turkey/russell, 4r and makers instead
Check WalMart liquor stores by you. I was in one in Florida a week ago and not only do they have it but they have it at $23 which is a very good price for it considering some stores wanting twice to 3 times that

@@williamgullett8071My local "discount liquor store" in Broward is up to 35.99 for a 750 ml. of B.T. which is considerably over MSRP. It all comes down to supply and demand. Since I'm retired on a limited income I'll stick to W.T. 101 which he sells for 24.99.

@@justinwinningham4892 yes I'm aware of that. My point is you said Wild Turkey "is known for it's charred oak barrels."

@@NorthWestBourbon I highly agree with you. While I really enjoy Buffalo trace products, the hype and the secondary prices behind it are too much for several of them to be on this list. There are many great bourbons like the ones you listed that would benefit more being on this list.

What is your favorite Kentucky bourbon?
Eagle Rare
Almost impossible for me to choose a single one.
@@devonroberts7992 Wheated or not?
@@mpharr2 not wheated for sure.
Got two: Evan Williams Bottled in Bond and Wild Turkey 101
Wild turkey 101
im glad to see your channel is one of the more 'well informed' in the whiskey tube category. i salute You!
Wild Turkey 101 for me 😀
Excellent video, I must say!
Thanks for introducing me (a guy from Bombay India) to the world of Bourbon whiskeys 👌👍☺️
I've tried around half of these, and now I need to try the other half!
My favorite so far is Buffalo Trace, but there are so many I haven't tried yet.
There way better then sweet as buffalo trace lol wild turkey 101 way better and cheaper lol
@@joeyjuandiaz6195 I have a bottle of both.
so may good bourbons. Hard to choose. Thanks and cheers
Good luck trying to find many of these bourbons at MSRP.
I knew there was a reason why I liked kentucky so much
Allocated? Weller 12
Nation Wide? Wild Turkey Rare Breed
0:04 Yes, I most certainly _would_ believe that, because that's where bourbon whiskey comes from.
The OG…Elijah Craig.

New sub ! Liked ✌️😆😉
Caramba! Did you guys got paid to advertise those Bourbons. And recommend the ones that is impossible to find (NY)
They all taste the same to me but I’m not a drinker. Willet reserve, wild Turkey 101 and rare breed, Frey Ranch from Nevada is a real sleeper.
Yes FR is great
Bourbon drinkers hate when non-bourbon drinkers make lists like this. Probably why it has so few views from a channel with 1.2m subs. lulz
Great…
so far eh taylor single barrel. but haven't had any of the high dollar stuff
Love E H taylor. The single barrel is $300 here in Georgia though
@@devonroberts7992 got lucky won bourbon lottery in ohio $ 64 saving that one for my 60th next year
🥃
Stagg Jr not being on the list is blasphemy!! And for my taste the offerings from Jefferson are better than Makers
For sure. The could’ve replaced one of the weller bottles with this for the list. Stagg jr is easily one of the best Buffalo trace/saz products

not usually I won lottery it was 63.95 in Ohio

Real Bourbon can only be made in Kentucky lol
Not true. Also Jack Daniels is considered a bourbon by law. They just choose to be called Tennessee whiskey.
@@TheElcamino13 This is true. They are also owned by Brown-Forman who owns several other kentucky bourbon brands.
This isn't true...just has to be made in the US

They have to by law in order to classify as bourbon. Otherwise they call it “American whiskey “
