I like this new series super 🔥. Out of the line up can't go wrong with the ET BIB. It's a value x2 price point and volume. Super hard to find depending on area. Great Video 🥃
Everyone has a different list, and I often change my mind after drinking a whole bottle over a few weeks. My 4 rebuys are 100 proof Old Grand-Dad, 100 proof Early Times, 100 proof Coopers' Craft, and just over at $32 here is the 90 proof Bernheim Original Wheat Whiskey. Most do not agree- why the stores are full of other choices. It takes a few weeks to find the 100 proof Early Times for retail here because it sells out fast, and I have only seen the 100 proof Coopers' Craft marked up to $35. I got the Green River Full Proof as a gift, it was on sale for $40 instead of the $50 retail and just falls short of a rebuy for me at $40.
1776 J pepper, JTS Brown and JW Dant are also good inexpensive pours, OGD Bonded and WT 101 just doesn't cut it for me Anymore- not what it was 15-20 years ago, VERY Thin tasting to me 😖 Cheers and Great video 👍🥃💯
I'd say that you should probably add the 1.75L JTS Brown into your lineup. I had to pay close to $28 for 1L of Early Times BiB (100 proof). Got the JTS Brown (80 proof), I paid only $18 for a 1.75L. The Early Times is only marginally better in terms of sweetness, but the Early Times BiB drinks hotter and spicier and has a bit more bitterness. Basically, JTS Brown is 95% of the quality that Early Times BiB has, but it's so much cheaper that JTS Brown gets the value crown. Either that or Buffalo Trace at MSRP. Everything else better is more expensive, or offers worse value. Would love to see y'all do a wheated bourbons value series. Especially in the budget category. Not sure anything can beat WL Weller Special Reserve at MSRP, if/when you can find it. Rebel 100 doesn't come close imo. High quality, high value wheated bourbons are basically hen's teeth. Especially at lower proof points, and with a really smooth and sweet profile.

My favs under 30 has to be Jim Beam Winter, Larceny, and OF 100 for sure
Those are some good ones. We'll have to redo and try some other options. Cheers.
Old Forester 100 proof is hard to beat, but Early Times is a dam good one also.
Can't argue with that. It’s only fair that we do another value challenge. Cheers.
Buffalo Trace for $26 is a no brainer. That and KC9 would be all I need for
KC9 is a good one. Cheers.

We really like Cooper Craft but it’s $35 near us. It’s interesting to see what others are into. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.
Cool video! Excited to see this unfold this year
Benchmark Single barrel is Elite for the price!
I prefer the Full Proof, but the Single Barrel is solid. Cheers.
Can't argue with that. Cheers.
Rebel small batch reserve at 110 proof 29.99 🤑 🥃
Ohhhh. Cheers to that.

We’ve never blind JTS and Early Times. We need to compare. A wheated challenge would be fun. Might need to add that to the series. 😜 Cheers.
Trying to figure out how Arthur won this round?
The overall value of blind, flavor + price. Not just based on flavor.
Early times you guys have got to be kidding me. Thank God, you didn’t do old granddad of any variation total garbage/military special
Thanks for sharing.
how dare you besmirch the name of Early Times, I can't WAIT to do nothing about this
