Blanton's Single Barrel vs Ancient Age 90 BLIND COMPARISON | Are These Two THE SAME BOURBON!?

[@nickp5511]

Great show! Blanton’s around me is available for 150.00 AA is everywhere here, the homeless buy AA all the time. It’s in every type of store that sell alcohol.

[@stuffandwhiskey]

The price discrepancy is wild, right!? Just goes to show how much hype influences our culture.

Ancient Ancient Age 10 star I truly do prefer over Blantons. Enjoyed comparison🥃

@@stuffandwhiskey I've seen them in Georgia every once in a while.

they changed the bottle and name to Ancient Ancient Age.. but it is 90 proof.. no idea what else they may have changed or if it is the same taste

[@DutchStarDriver]

I found this very interesting, when I started drinking bourbon Blanton’s was $35.00 a bottle and there were 3 Ancient Age expressions. Ancient Age, Ancient Ancient Age 10 Star and Ancient Ancient Age 10 Year. Drank the AAA10 YO until BT pulled the plug. I actually cried! Had a buddy from KY snag me 3 1.75’s and I nursed them for several years. I’m going to have to try the AA 90 proof.

I have multiple Blantons bottles that I’ve filled with ancient ancient age (or what I call, Blantons small batch) and no one has been able to tell the difference…

[@stuffandwhiskey]

Blanton’s small batch. That’s too good!

[@charlest8373]

Holy crap! I, too, have several bottles of Blanton's that I'm gonna fill one with Ancient Age! I got the Blanton's from a bar owner friend for $64 in Michigan. My sister-in-law got my brother a bottle in California 1.5 years ago...for $205!!! Somebody below nailed it...Blanton's is a $35 bottle masquerading as an overpriced, overhyped $150 (on average) bottle.

[@NewFADS17]

I definitely do this too! Experienced bourbon drinkers cannot tell the difference. Nothing like having an almost full bottle of Blanton's for $14 each time they come over. My house is a hit :)

I wonder if the difference is the story of where they are picked. Paying more for the literal location of the barrel. For all we know the AA could have been literally one barrel below that Blantons.

[@johnmarkson204]

The market that I'm coming from is in Colorado. Blantons is a $130 bottle which breaks down to $6. Roughly per ounce, where ancient age is $11 a bottle which breaks down to roughly 44 cents per ounce. Mind bottling.

[@christophercatrambone227]

WOW SO INTERESTING. My buddy got me an Ancient Age handle! They don’t sell in MA but he travels to nearby states for work RI. Blantons in my area is $65 if you can find MSRP (MA) Usually $200-250.

[@christophercatrambone227]

I checked my Ancient Age…I have the 80 proof handle 😕 i wonder when they dropped the proof? I went to the Buff Trace website and saw that it is 80 proof. No mention of the 90 on the buff Trace website. I did a google search and see that both exist and there is an Ancient Age 10 “Star” not much clarity otherwise. Also I’m at work. Need to focus 🤣 hopefully the 80 proof jug I have will produce surprising results!

I've had Ancient Age 80. (2 bottles now) very enjoyable. Easy drinking stuff. For me, a little too gentle for a mixer if that's how you like it. (imo) I prefer it neat. 👍

If you can find Ancient Ancient Age it a step up and 90 proof and Blanton's is 93 proof

I recently purchased ancient age 10 star and a blantons tested side by side and found blantons has a bit longer finish. Other than the finish they are almost identical.

[@glennard6147]

Recently found some ancient ancient age 10 star on the shelf a week after a drop because no one wanted it and it taste so similar to blantons. My friend who got me into bourbon thought it was blantons when I gave him a sip of my cup. It’s 1.5 less abv(45% vs 46.5%) at less than half the price per liter. I would definitely recommend you try it.

AA 10 is my favorite daily pour

[@ranman1959]

This was fun to watch. I've heard that Ancient Ancient Age 10 Star is a step up from Ancient Age; it's $15 a liter and $25 a handle in Ohio. I've had some great Blanton's and some disappointing Blanton's, but most of the bottles I've had were kind of average. I get why people new to bourbon want to get a bottle but I'm bewildered by the folks that have had a lot of it and are still willing to pay $100 and up for it.

[@stuffandwhiskey]

That’s a great point! Once you’ve had a few and know what you’re working with, you’d think folks would “know better” for lack of a better phrase.

I've actually got 3 bottles of Blantons, paid $73 for the last 2. Some of the Ancient Age around me is only 80 proof, I really prefer 100 and up.

Do you think Marketing and a different label would put a different spot light on Ancient Age? Very interesting review and it's much appreciated

I'll never chase a bottle of that dumb horse after watching this.

[@billj5645]

My theory is that you put the same stuff in a bunch of barrels and put them in the rickhouse to age- some of them age differently. Which tree is the barrel made of? Where is it in the rickhouse? At some point they go through and select the good barrels for the higher shelf labels, the not so good barrels they use for the lower shelf labels. I'm going to put AA on my list to try. My local store actually has some of it in stock.

[@stuffandwhiskey]

That's exactly how it goes. The most interesting thing to us is--within a blind tasting--how perceivable are those differences (especially to us, the general public)? It's almost always surprising how close some of the "lesser" products can be to the "better" products in our experience.

[@sylvesterfieldsjr8752]

If you can find Ancient Ancient Age pick it up. Yes there is a Ancient Ancient Age and it's Age stated at 10years. A handle will cost you $30. In the DMV I run to the store when it's available

[@canucklehead0]

Ha! I love it when you guys find a "same-same" and reveal that one of the two is 1/6th the price per volume of the other. Now, I just have to find an empty Blanton's, or be lucky enough to have the cash when they come into the places I shop, and see if I can get Ancient Age 90 up here. I wonder if you cut in a bit of regular Buffalo Trace if you could get the differences even closer? We have such a great hobby, I mean buy a miniature oak barrel and fill it with Ancient Age 90 and a handful of charred oak chips, stick it way back in a cupboard or behind your bar and forget about it for a couple years and then try it. Heck, forget it for a decade and have a 10yr anniversary sip and either pour it off or keep it going adding in something else to develop the flavour!

[@stuffandwhiskey]

Funny enough one of our friends regularly ages Ancient Age in mini barrels and all it takes is a couple of weeks to round out the profile. This is definitely a wonderful and often fascinating hobby!

I haven't seen AA 90 though. AA 90 sounds better from your descriptions; the reveal completely surprised me! I love the refill idea...if I see Blanton's for $80 I'll buy it just so I can refill it.

@@exjw8623 Josh here. We talk a lot on camera. Sometimes its difficult to get the point across the way we want. In this particular video, we’d already ran into this exact scenario several times in recent videos where I thought something was an easy sipper and Erin didn’t. And that’s okay that we disagree. I felt like my opinion/point wasn’t getting through though, so I clarified (albeit from a position of frustration as I wasn’t able to get my point across as well as I wanted). I can see why you’d think it was me squashing Erin’s opinion, whereas Erin knew my intent. That being said, I can promise you that if Erin thought I was “shutting her down,” she’d say so VERY clearly. 😂
