Great Content Joe! Was turned on to your channel by the owner of LiqGo in Valparaiso

[@bourbonbattles7285]

Fantastic!!! Thank you! I will reach out to them and thank them

[@bryanwilliamson9655]

Nice list. Keep it up! I caught 2 mistakes on the Russell's Reserve. You said 90 years and 90 dollars.

[@bourbonbattles7285]

Thank you!

[@bourbonbattles7285]

That’s correct! Lol

Very nice alternatives. Totally agree on the Maker's Mark Cask Strength! Affordable and shelf available! I hunt for the Buffalo Trace products simply to have certain examples of them in my collection and share with others. That's how I got to taste a lot of BT products was friends that had bottles and shared. And thanks to that, I avoided ones I didn't like and figured out which ones I wanted. For the Eagle Rare 10 Year, I have yet to discover a true alternative. I have a Russell's Reserve 10 Year, but it tastes like Wild Turkey 101 to me just more matured. Very strong peanut note, like fresh peanuts out of the shell (not salted or roasted though). I need to find a Russell's single barrel.

[@bourbonbattles7285]

Thanks for watching! You won’t be disappointed with a Russel’s single barrell

Very informative!

I think the RR10 is as good a value as the ER but it does have a completely different flavor profile. I have yet to find anything quite like the ER. There are lots that are better but that has a unique flavor IMO. I also like the FRSiB as an alternative to Blanton's and is available all the time around here. I am not a huge fan of the MM46. I find the JDSiBBP really good as well. The others I am not familiar with.

[@bourbonbattles7285]

We unfortunately don’t see the FRsib around here

[@GerthBrooks-1985]

Great video!

[@bourbonbattles7285]

Thanks buddy!

[@ShaneMaloy-nv3zh]

Very nice list of alternatives.

[@bourbonbattles7285]

Thanks Shane!

John j bowman single barrel beats blantons for sure. This bottle not commonly found in Central Illinois but I got two from our small town liquor store. Good tasting bourbon

[@bourbonbattles7285]

Agree! Thanks for watching!

[@CruiserDawg]

What's your Maker's Mark Private Select Stave profile? I think I know what would be good for me, but that's just a theory I have by looking at the flavors each Stave gives to the bourbon.

[@bourbonbattles7285]

My favorite one is: 1-baked pure 1-seared French cuevee 1-46, 5- roasted French mocha, 2- toasted French spice

[@ericloflin6416]

Great video. Great info.

Thanks for watching!

[@pizzawarlord9232]

Love the channel but couldn’t disagree more 😂 The alternatives are good but nothing like the BT products taste profiles with maybe the exception of the wheater MMCS.

[@bourbonbattles7285]

Agree that Buffalo Trace makes amazing whiskey, I wanted to show the viewers what they may like it the live somehow and can’t get BT. You hit the nail on the head w MMCS

[@katzsteel]

Every time I have JDSBBP, I think it’s my favorite bourbon of all time! Thankfully it’s available. I’m a huge Makers fan too! Loved visiting that distillery. BRT-02 was amazing!

[@bourbonbattles7285]

Agree on the BRT! Isn’t it great having favorites that are available

Great job stranger 😂

[@bourbonbattles7285]

Have we met?

[@NathanLothamer-qb5fu]

Russels Reserve 🤩

[@bourbonbattles7285]

It’s so good

[@umami0247]

I go with MM cask strength over any of the Weller I can get it all day every day and Weller is for campers only. As far as eagle rare I like Russell single barrel over it not a ten year but close and with the 110 proof it’s just better.the Russell 10 year is a bit underwhelming to me it’s not bad just the single barrel is better. I’ll agree with the four roses over blantons all day. EHT I’d replace with your choice I’m a big Coopers craft 100. For me Stagg is almost non-replaceable from the true bourbon picks out there. I will definitely agree with you about the JDSBBP. Even though it’s not a classic bourbon. Great choices and for me it’s about availability and all of these alternatives are easy to get. Enjoy!!

[@bourbonbattles7285]

Thanks for the feedback Scott, and thanks for watching!!

[@Awillemain90]

160 proof! Christ almighty. 😅

[@bourbonbattles7285]

It’s HOOOOOOTTTTTT LOL

[@andrewcole6660]

"90 year old Russell Reserve" was a mistake that I heard.

[@bourbonbattles7285]

Bingo that was one, but there is one more

[@bourbonbattles7285]

Thanks for watching

[@GerthBrooks-1985]

Do you mean 116 proof hahaha?!

[@bourbonbattles7285]

lol bingo!

[@tedmayo3083]

You are doing great on your own and I know y’all don’t want to say but what is going on with Chad? He disappeared for awhile and came back and now he is gone again. In the past you said it was a scheduling problem. Everyone knows that is not the problem. What’s the truth?

[@bourbonbattles7285]

Scheduling is really difficult for us. Thanks for watching and thanks for the support

[@AJRoss-cs1oo]

You need to quit telling people about the Jack Daniels Barrel proof it is going to get hard to find

[@bourbonbattles7285]

It’s sooooo damn good!

[@JonathanPowless]

😂

[@bourbonbattles7285]

Thanks for watching!

[@dacow9083]

Weller Full Proof is not 160 proof!

[@bourbonbattles7285]

Bingo!
