[@Thefunnynerd85]

I know it’s looked down upon but I actually do like Blanton’s my Costco sells it for $99 so when I see it at the other liquor stores close to it I still get it for $106, 109. I have other cheaper bottles we use for cocktails and on the rocks when we’re barbecuing and entertaining. I’ve been trying many different bourbons from different distillers, different price points and different proofs. So far I have to say I still prefer Blanton’s but I’m also new to bourbons. I got a bottle of Stag and I got to say I’m no where near ready to truly enjoy “the juice” for now I still prefer lower proof bottles. I’m curious so I’ll keep checking whatever I find interesting, it would be awesome to find something I truly enjoy that is available and affordable, but I can’t lie to myself and for now that one is my favorite and I’ve bought three bottles so far 😂😂😂. Started drinking whisky this summer by the way… looking for new hobbies. I like Hibiki Harmony as well it smells delicious but taste wise it’s very different.

Appreciate the vid. Several comments: A. The rarity of the first 3 on the list should just be mentioned along with 2nd'ary market prices shouldn't be aid period. B. Weller 12yr, I made an analysis of the top 5 bourbon tube channels that made Weller lineup single blind videos over past 4 years. Out of the 6, the Weller 12yr finished average of 6th place just a few tenths of points behind the special reserve . C. Looking at your shelves you easily spend $60 ++ on NDP bottles, so i like that you're basically recommending to help people forget about the garbage diamond barrons of bourbon the Buffalo Trace Dist. i.e.Sazerac. They have good stuff but they have created over value and scarcity and it shouldn't be aided. So listen up people to his video and don't be a bunch of enablers of bad BT behavior.

I do agree with the Four Roses SiB being a good option and I like it a lot but Blanton's is just above it so still a good buy in the $60-$70 range to enjoy on limited occasions.

I agree with most of your points. One point, however, I'd like you to investigate is a "vat" . . . I would like you to take 2 parts Larceny, and one part Makers Barrel. The higher the proof of the Makers, the better it will be. But this vat will prove very nearly as good as Pappy. You know the mash bills, and you know the DNA of these bourbons. Would just like to hear your reactions. :-)

I generally agree with you but the reason that the Buffalo trace whiskeys are so pricey is because they are uniquely fruity and lack that peanut or banana quality that every other large distillery has.

Breckenridge Rum Cask should be at the top of the list. Most artificial taste ever!

I really liked the Basil Hayden Caribbean Rum finished but that sold out quickly and hasn't been repeated. It's not for everyone and not everyone does it well. Thanks for watching! We are building a community of bourbon lovers...sign up at the link in the video description. Cheers!!

Benchmark 8? Sorry, this is just awful. I agree on a lot of this video, but the only BM worth buying is the Full Proof, and even then, I use it to blend with other whiskeys.

Everyone has different tastes and suggesting alternatives can be tricky. However, I think y'all are worth the risk! Thanks for watching! We are building a community of bourbon lovers...sign up at the link in the video description. Cheers!!

@@schoolofwineandspirits great point! Lots of people love things I don't care for, and vice versa. Four Roses and OGD100 are very popular and I hated both of them. Although OGD100 is great with a diet ginger ale. What I SHOULD have said in my comment above was something like "for my taste, BM8 is awful"
