Great choice of bourbons. If I had to choose one more for $30 you can’t go wrong with 1792 small batch. Cheers!

[@robmichael8136]

Pretty new into bourbon, looking to round out my collection. I've heard mixed on 1792 small batch. Some think it's fantastic. Looking for something without a lot of burn. I was thinking this or a Russell's 10.

[@superman6338]

@@robmichael8136 for $40ish u can get 1792 sweet wheat or full proof... And those are phenomenal

[@Geoduck.]

True story. Tuxedo knows stuff.

[@pwrbomb1970]

Freaking John J Bowman!!! Quit telling everyone about it. Damn you!!! I’m in Ohio and have a seriously hard time finding it. I have two bottles and want more. I would trade for some!!!!

[@bobsharma6461]

David. As usual, simply a great job. I wish ER was more readily available in MO (grrrrr), but the right choice anyway to be included. Thanks for taking out time to get us bourbon addicts our fix ;)

[@wilsonmoody880]

Glad to see a channel from someone from VA who can relate to the bourbon struggles we have over here with availability haha. Russell's 10 year is a really good pour. A lady put me onto it when WR Double Oaked ran into logistics issues and I have to keep a bottle of Bowman and Elijah Craig as they are locals ( Craig being originally from Orange County). Great video I'll be checking out more 👌.

[@xiamengbaby]

I agree with the Russell's 10 yr. One of my favorites, reasonable price for a 10 year, and easy to find. I heard that it used to be 101 proof. That would would so damned good to try it at that proof. Eagle Rare is impossible to find in my area. I lucked out several months ago and happened to be in a liquor store with some returns I brought in and they happened to be stocking their limited allocation on the specialty shelf across from the return desk. "Limit 1 bottle". I grabbed one for my cart - only $35 anyway. The shelf was clear by the time I left. I haven't opened that bottle yet, as I have been waiting to see if I can score a backup bottle first. No such luck yet.

[@fredgrebner526]

Russel’s is just as good. The $30 bottle of wagon wheel is on par with ER as well.

[@georgejasper8794]

Great list! The Russell's is wonderful, and the Bowman is a decent Blanton's substitute.

[@scottr570]

Completely agree with the choices, save for the Bowman that isn't available in my area. Coopers is my favored pour for every dayish..Russles 10 is on the shelf, Eagle Rare is a close second. Thanks for the content!

[@jclark42796]

Spot on! Great list! Might throw Four Roses Single Barrel in that mix.

[@bourbonbill]

Great list! I did an under 40 list and coopers craft 100 was for sure on it as well as makers cask. For your pricing here the winners to me are JJB and 1910 but rare breed in Pa is 46 so I vote that the king haha

[@tattuaje]

Nice picks David. I’ve had 4 of the 6 and love them.

[@davevogelsang6791]

I agree with your choices. Eagle Rare hard to get in my area, but received a bottle from a friend for Christmas. OF 1910 is my new favorite bourbon that I can get for $46 in Northern Illinois. John J Bowman also hard to find here. Happy New Year.

[@williammombela5090]

I recently was in Indiana and came across Coopers Craft 100. Remember hearing good things about it. Was glad I bought two bottles. Great pour for the price. My favorite out of your list right now.

[@whiskeyfd7695]

Great video - sipping on some Russel’s 10 as I watch this! These are some hard-hitting bottles for the price. I’m in a bit of a “budget-conscious” phase right now and I still haven’t had the Cooper’s Craft, so maybe that will be my next pickup

[@scooter2d2]

Coopers Craft 100 - very easy to find in my area and always have 2 bottles in my stash. Russell’s 10 year - easy to find and available when I want it. And simply very good juice. Michter’s - not a big fan. I think it’s over priced. Good but not one I look for. Eagle Rare - Oh how I WISH I could find it. I’ve had a half full bottle in my stash for over two years, as I tip it over to keep the cork moist every now and then. Love this juice. Help me out whiskey row! Old Forester 1910 - Yessir!!! A damn good one and grateful I can journey to find and buy when I run out. But do like the 1920 a smidge better. John J. Bowman - never had it. I suppose you just gave me a bourbon journey to find and purchase. 👍

[@kevinconner7948]

Totally agree on Bowman’s and happy to see it make the list! Amazing bourbon from right here in VA.

[@KandRbar]

Great list. 1792 is also a great pour at its cost.

[@ronbritner3236]

Heading to the store now for the JJ Bowman. Thanks!

[@Bryanp1289]

Besides coopers craft.. I love all of these ! Great list

[@beachbuzzard]

100% agree… Michters US1 is my “never without”. For the price? Super solid. As soon as I crack a closed bottle I’m looking to pick up it’s replacement!

[@MooseTracker100]

Thanks for update! I have been on break from sampling. You channel first for me to catch up on. Now…let’s see if they are available up here in the Great North.

[@chuckvinson1]

Thanks for sharing your expertise. I’m in DC, I hit ABC all the time. I’ve been a JD and JB dude for years . I’ve been expanding my horizons lately. I’ve grabbed a bottle of all the bourbons you’ve recommended that I could find. I have about 25 bottles so far. I think I’m off to a good start. Thanks again homie. If you ever come across the bride hit me up. 👊🏽

[@jasonballenger2505]

I’m glad you put that John J Bowman on here. It is so good. Id have to bump Russell 10 off the list because the one I picked up in KY and have tried was straight up boiled peanuts. That’s not my jam.

[@Raz75reb]

Great pours!

[@jtsdeals]

Got Michter's small batch from Amazon Fresh for $38. Best price I could find locally. Good stuff. 1910 or Woodford double oaked - that's the debate I always see. 1920 is actually cheaper than 1910 in my area $50 vs $60. My favorite at this price (that i've tasted so far) is Four Roses Single Barrel.

[@stanleysteen1421]

Great picks! I’m a huge old forester fan even over Buffalo trace just because of the price points. But eagle rare still my baby. Thanks again. Keep it up

[@francisrizzo1529]

Solid list, here's my version: Michter's (US1 or American), JohnJ Bowman, Eagle Rare, Redwood Empire, and 1792 SB (too bad BiB and FP cost a little more than $50). I've seen Weller FP for $400 and thought, "hard to justify that one bottle when I could have about 15 bottles of Redwood Empire or Eagle Rare"...

[@Defx10]

Redwood Empire is a hidden gem that not many people know about yet. Stock up while it's cheap!

[@jamesstreet1144]

These are all very good bourbons. In that price range, I personally prefer Backbone Bourbon uncut. It however, is extremely limited in their area of release

[@whodey59]

I SO hope the bourbon noobies don't discover Cooper's Craft 100 and it suddenly becomes trendy. My fear is it will become hard to find. $29.99 & always available now so far in SW Ohio. Love Eagle Rare too, but it's very Rare to find.

[@stanleysteen1421]

Agree on Cooper it’s a beast

[@bobb9371]

Except for the Russells Reserve 10-year I keep the others on hand in my collection at all times. I am partial to the Russells Reserve single barrel. Thanks for the great video.

[@patrickq7489]

Just found my first RR SiB. Yeah, that's pretty good. Wish I saw them more often.

[@challenja]

I have both and RRSB is worth the extra price point for sure.RR10 has such a big oak forward note that it dominates everything on the palate. ECBP with two more years does it better at keeping that oak note at bay

[@frankmastromauro5630]

Great video

[@reedtoombs9127]

I was just typing do a blind, then you said you were ….heading to Watch, thank you!

[@donmaduro5262]

Dude you hit the nail on the head with this list....but good luck finding John J Bowman. It is not sold in Florida, only Bowman Brothers. It took me three years to find John J Bowman and I now have 4 bottles all purchased in Georgia. Eagle Rare and Blantons can found at certain stores here at retail. I am trying to stock up on John J as I believe it is considered allocated. I will stop looking when I have 12 in my stock pile.

[@karymillet8884]

Good video. Kudos. So hard to discuss price and availability because it’s so different everywhere. Where I live…Rare breed is 48 and fits the criteria. 1910 is 65 bucks and way over your price threshold. Have only seen Eagle rare on a shelf once in maybe four years and it sold out within a half hour of the store opening. The russels 10 year is a good call. Available in lots of places. Some barrel char, thick corn syrup, citrus, a hint of cherry, and some oak. Doesn’t seem to get the credit it deserves from most folks.

[@vicselixir]

I found eagle rare at the supermarket on the shelf in NH. Score!

[@aguliner]

Thank you for posting this!! It’s exactly what I was have been looking for!!! I’m currently sipping 1920 (which I was able to find in LA for $48.99!!), but also looking for a lower proof daily sipper. I recently tried the Michters bourbon at a bar and thought it was very good but it’s it’s around $45-50 here. Still on the look out for Eagle Rate but it’s nowhere to be seen. The 1910 is north of $55. So thinking either Woodford reserve dbl oak, Long Branch, or just basic Buffalo trace? Any advice greatly appreciated!!

[@chriscole7898]

Great Video.

[@wolfe5244]

I'm a little surprised that Knob Creek Single Barrel wasn't on the list $49.99 here in NC. I knew that one of the Mickters, not sure on spelling, was going to be in the mix. I'm going to have to try this one. Only one I've tried, and repeat bought was their sour mash.

[@offcamber]

Thank you for the line up of top picks at a value+ price point. No argument here 🙊

[@JE-western-rider]

Would you please explain the difference between the Bowman Brothers Bourbon and the John Borman Bourbon? I've had the Bowman Brothers and I can taste the Buffalo Trace origins and the rye lift. With a couple of drops of water, it mellows out nicely. I'm wondering if the slight increase in the John Bowman is worth it over the Bowman Brothers? For reference, here are other whiskeys that are regulars on my bar: Cooper Craft 100 is the best buy and a regular on my bar. Russells 10 yr old OF 1910, OF 1920, OF 1915, OF BIB, and Elijah Craig small batch 94, and EW 86 proof single barrel. And any bottle that catches my attention/ ,

[@joshmorgan838]

Bowman brothers is the small batch which goes for like 38.00 and is more widely available. The jj bowman is single barrel and has been often compared to a poor man’s blantons. Although idk how it makes the list here caise the cheapest I’ve ever seen in for around delaware/south jersey is 65.00. It’s hard to come by in most areas cause its a Virginia distillery. Pretty decent stiff though.

[@msutton01]

Eagle Rare $29.99 here in PA but very difficult to get. Usually sells out in an hour or 2. Can't get Coopers 100 or John J Bowman here, but can get it in MD on a short road trip. WT RB $46.99 in PA and is readily available (thankfully).

[@brutusofnn]

The Bowman Brothers is an outstanding pour. I’m still on the the lookout in Virginia for a bottle of Eagle Rare! 😮

[@BoozewithNick]

Can’t go wrong with Brown Foreman, I’ll be looking for the Cooper’s- thank you for the recommendation! When I review it on my channel, I’ll give you a shout-out!

[@aprilbrown8081]

In Ohio I can’t get Bowman or Eagle Rare. But at least I can get Cooper’s Craft and it’s become one of my new favorites!

[@joshuastoll6808]

Eagle rare was at my local Costco for $25 limited 1 per person and missed it. Usually get it at TW at $35. Amazing bourbon and it’s kind of fun to hunt for(since it’s rare, but not too tiring to get).

[@Just1Guy1000]

The only place I can find it is $70+ I think. They keep it behind the counter.

[@robjohnson342]

In Michigan see Eagle once in a great while. No Coopers here but got one in Colorado. Yum!! No John Bowman dont think but keeping eyes open! Price has gone up a bit around here for Russell's.

[@spiritsofthedistilledkind3633]

I love Bowman Brothers, especially their port cask

[@vikes7384]

Man. I live in VA and have enjoyed Bowman for a while. I’m afraid you just made it hard to find!!!! Oh well, caring is sharing right???? 😊

[@anthonyavila4027]

Hear in my part of Massachusetts rear bread goes for between $45 and $55 dollars at two stores within a mile of each other and eagle rear is between $39 and $50 at two different stores within a mile of each other . these four store I stop in on weekly and each one has different bourbon and different prices.

[@joshmorgan838]

Just an awesome list, love all of these bottles. As a bourbon fan with a limited wallet, you’d be hard pressed to find a better budget list than this.

[@zac_dl1913]

No Cooper's Craft in my state and Eagle Rare takes some effort. But I can get the three main Redwood Empire bottles for $35 and Noah's Mill for $50.

[@WBLumpkin87]

Yeah here in NW Ga I can easily find all of those except the John J. Bowman. I’d gladly trade an Eagle Rare to try the JJBSB.

[@davidseabolt9230]

I can get both Eagle Rare and Russell's 10 year, here in Virginia for $29. I'm partial to the Russell's over eagle rare.

[@xiamengbaby]

Cooper's Craft is not available in Illinois, nor that John Bowman single barrel. I had one bottle years ago and it was good, but it has been absent from our area for a long time now.

[@sounddude177]

At my local shop in AZ, OF 1910 is $54 and 1920 is $47. Found an Eagle Rare last week for $34 and snapped one up.

[@xiamengbaby]

I know of one store in my area that still has a little Rare Breed left for $48.99. Most everywhere around me is more like $60 now.

[@jtpiercy1966]

Coopers craft is amazing for the $ it's my every day it on the shelf every where in NC

[@brianwalsh9778]

Great list...except for the Cooper's Craft. At least for me, the two bottles I had were not good. Had to drain pour one of them.

[@scooter2d2]

That’s too bad. I’m a big fan of the cooper’s craft 100 proof. But pallets want what they want. 👍

[@SweetTea1987]

Where do you get the special Bowman releases? Is it only at the distillary at specific times?

[@Spoognastya]

Where in VA are you based out of? I’m out of FXBG! Love the vids

[@perrymiller2413]

ill be looking for the john j. bowman

[@Ogre_Smash]

Bowman distilleries only uses there own mash and their own juice. They are owned by Sazarac but they no longer source from anyone. I confirmed this for a second time when I visited the distillery in Fredericksburg a week ago.

[@joshquattrocchi6378]

Man, rare breed is $70 around me in the Indy area. Occasionally I can find it at smaller stores for less but bigger stores seem to be gouging.

[@jP-nw7nm]

[@tinydane69]

Great list. Sadly even the 1910 here in middle Tenneessee is over 60 bucks and 1920 is pushing up on 70 bucks. Both are great but they're starting to get high enough to make me pause and consider passing on them for others. Thankfully we can get coopers 100 all the time, 40 bucks, RR10 is always around as well 40 bucks (I like the coopers better). I really wish the distro on JJ was better here. I'd take the JJ over most all the others everytime if it was around.

My local Safeway has Eagle Rare for $35.99. My local liquor store has it for a laughable $129. Yup. $129!!!!! They have Blanton's when it's in stock for $115. Riddle me that one.....

[@Indyjeeplover]

I’d love to find Eagle Rare for $30-$40. If (and a big if) you can find it anywhere here, it’s a minimum $70. Evidently both availability and price vary wildly by state or location within a state. I’m typing this early September 2022. Don’t know when your video was made. Prices have gone crazy post pandemic

[@DWReed01]

Great video. Accidental ASMR

[@Glock2201]

It is weird. You are usually about $5 more a bottle but OF 1910 around here is $55 but it is one of if not my favorite. Eagle Rare is about the only other one I have seen on the shelf and that was only once and I picked one up and have not opened it yet.

[@torbenmortensen75]

Great list, wish I could get Coopers craft, JJ Bowman or any version of Old Forrester over here (in Denmark). Eagle rare and EH Taylor is both pretty easy to get however and is both really lovely. Thanks for a great channel :-)

[@rolfegatchell9204]

Rare breed is $45 in MA. Think it would have made the cut?

[@kevinthacker9706]

Unfortunately Eagle Rare in my area is allocated and hard to find. If you do find expect to pay $75-100 a bottle.

[@Gio-nl7eg]

Being the I don’t like wild turkey or rare breed should I pass on russels?

[@johng.7560]

1910 is $55 in G'ville SC.

[@kunzilla]

I'm from NY and you'd be lucky if you can get Eagle Rare 10 for around 60, it's 70 in most cases.

[@synth3tik242]

Running tally for Minnesota. Cooper's Craft: No, Russel's: Yes, Mitcher's: Yes, Eagle Rare: Not really, there maybe 6 bottles in the state, OF 1910: Yes, but you might not find 1910 in every store, JJB: No. At least I have a steady supply of Russel's!
