The Best 100 Proof Bourbon Whiskey War! Does Old Forester 1924 Hold Up Blind?

We wondered how the new whiskey row launch Old Forester 1924 would hold up to EHT Single Barrel, Knob Creek 12 Year and Remus Repeal batch 5 in a blind. Who's the king of 100 proof bourbon?

Credit where credit is due. This is the first video in a long time that has felt like a roots Bourbon Junkies video. Truly blind, with relatively realistic bottles and well established brands. Not just drinking random craft or overly priced tater bottles trying to justify why they're worthy of attention too or the inflated price tags. This video reminded me why Bourbon Junkies was one of my go-to whiskey channels for years. Count my vote for more videos like this.

[@BourbonJunkies]

Appreciate the love buddy, funny enough less people are watching this video than the others. Weirdly every review feels like a price justification right now because of the inflation of the market. Always willing to take the feedback into consideration and we will gladly do more whiskey wars!

I miss whiskey wars. Was always my favorite! Do MORE

Knob Creek 12 currently $57.99 at most Kroger stores in South Indy. Awesome.

Knob Creek 12 doesn't even exist in MT. Sucks. I've also asked for Early Times BIB and most have never even heard of it. Lol. Only way for me to find these, is when I'm out of state.

@@midairmayhem5792 Got told the Jim Beam rep for Montana doesn't even want to try to bring in rare or special edition bottles. So fun.

[@BigfootBourbonNerd]

Eh taylor and knob creek 12 are two of my all time time favorites

[@red5standingby419]

Had a pour of the 1924 at my local bar and while I thought it was good I'm not at all bothered if I don't ever get a bottle at the $115 price point. It really should be about $80.

[@ewhitey18]

Ehhh I’m thinking $60 there’s just no finish on it

[@red5standingby419]

@@ewhitey18 Yeah, fair. I was thinking $80 just because of the age since 1920 is already about $60 and 1910 is about $55.

[@smknochs1]

My favorite 100 proof sippers in no particular order: Old Grand Dad Bottled in Bond, Jack Daniels Bonded Rye, Dickel BiB 13 Year Fall 2008, Old Overholt BiB, and Sagamore 6 Yr BiB. These bottles get the heaviest restocking, minus the Sagamore which I just got, but it's way too good to not be in heavy rotation.

[@100puremustard5]

Usually not a fan of Dickle but that 13yr 2008 is solid especially at $40-45!

[@whatsthepoint170]

This was a great lineup, some of personal faves. There are no losers here, all total bangers! More lineups like these please

[@RedSoxFanatic4Life]

I really enjoy Knob Creek 12. It’s one of my favorite whiskeys and it’s hard to beat the price for a 12-year age statement bourbon.

[@damienwilliams7444]

I recommend JD Sib BiB. Its the silver label and i got mine at duty free in mexico, and it was perfection at 100 proof.

[@jasonczfan8658]

I just picked up first bottle of Taylor single barrel last night. Looking forward to opening it up.

“This is also not easy to find… we are aware” 😂😂

[@jackward5204]

Literally just picked up an EHT sib today. Love all the videos

[@RJR2222]

Old Forester mistake was listing 1924 as a Row extension when they should have announced it as LE. EHT is one of Buffalo Trace offerings I always look for. It would be interesting to see if Barrel new Foundation bottle could stand up to these

[@markcalhoun8219]

The only way it makes sense at all to me is if they release a non-age stated version which is basically 4-5 year early times.

[@BigBadJerryRogers]

Their mistake was not trying to compete with other existing ten years that are all considerably lower in MSRP

[@Best_Served_Neat_On_Ice]

Heard there's nothing special about the Foundation.

[@The.Thirsty.K]

I own no joke 30+ Into The AM shirts. They’re the best t shirts I’ve ever owned.

[@BourbonJunkies]

[@sirjcc]

All this video proved was OF 1924 isn't worth its MSRP. KC12 is around 70-80, Remus around 90-100 both are easier to find than EH Taylor single barrel for sure. I would agree the EHT msrp of $65 is kinda laughable because it's ridiculously hard to find it on a shelf at that price..

[@adama4791]

I can often find KC12 for $60 so even further widens the great divide

[@robh7882]

EH Taylor Single Barrel is $200+ in Atlanta

[@jraderstorf]

Good luck finding Remus V though. The other Remus' aren't even close.

[@TheWithdrawl]

EH Taylor single barrel is prominent right now in Houston $67

[@juan972D]

I have luck finding KC12 in Dallas for as low as $56.

[@paulremlinger8483]

Love the content. Suggestion: adjust the framing on the straight on camera, so that the row of bottles at the top are closer to the top of the frame.

[@BOBBRADLEYCHANNEL]

I’ve never seen the Taylor at msrp in the wild . The 1924 is what a lot of people asked for I believe. Instead of two 177 series bottles they did it as a whiskey row limited release in a 750 🤔 but the price point is the same.

[@thatbourbondude]

1 sip everybody knows the rules! Follow up with a mischievous grin...lol

[@nakedheath]

I paid 61.00 for KC 12 at a Walmart in Missouri.

[@jkizziah61]

That Remus V, to this day, is one of my saddest bottle kills. Knew I shoulda bought more, so damn good!

[@keithkcweld5188]

Great video. Thanks guys.

[@ajzambruno1]

You guys should’ve thrown in the OF 1897 BiB to see if it beat the 10 year 👍🏻

[@Best_Served_Neat_On_Ice]

Saw a KZbin blind where the 1897 *did* beat the 10 Year.

[@golfguruct]

Don’t think it mattered but Dan’s glens seem just ever so slightly color coded. Black for Remus, Blue for KC 12, and Gold for EHT lol

[@francisrizzo1529]

I gotta agree with Vampire, I'd gladly take 4 ER10s or 2 EHTSiB over 1 1924. I'd like to see M10 in the blind (not 100proof, I know) to compare to the 1924 age, like KC12...

[@curetiamhices289]

Impossible task! So many 100 proof bottles.

[@jraderstorf]

If you tried my EHT SB, it wouldn't even beat EHT SmB. I got a dud. So glad I got an extra Remus V. That one should be a legacy bottle for a while with that line.

[@jimmymcdonald1638]

Should have put Henry McKenna BIB in that flight

[@derrickpomranky297]

[@adama4791]

Bingo

[@WhiskeySam1]

All four of these are impossible to find in my state unless you win a lottery. So I’m going with KC9, Bowman Single Barrel, 4 Roses SiB, and OF 1897.

Old forester presented by knob creek lol. Not surprised EH Taylor won, that’s my favorite.

Knob Creek 12 year is easily my favorite bourbon that I can consistently find

[@boagrius7765]

My #2. Rare Breed is #1 but out of the 100 proof category

[@100puremustard5]

Remus V slaps the sh!t outa EHT SiB 😂 I have not had the 1924 yet and probably won't @ $120 msrp Did not expect KC12 to do as well as it did and I can still find it for $55 at Costco!

[@BourbonJunkies]

KC 12 is wildly underrated

[@tomshanley5405]

JJ Bowman Single Barrel.... my favorite 100 proofer.

[@BourbonJunkies]

Love those so much but never had one beat EHT SB (and they're damn near the same whiskey).

[@tommyrq180]

I live in Bowman’s home town. Nice group of people and great whiskey! The glass shortage hurt them pretty badly but they seem to be back. Their Mary Hite Bowman bourbon creme (with caramel!😮) is a sleeper. In coffee, over ice cream, or neat (out of the freezer)-way better than Irish creme… 😊

[@umami0247]

I have had the EHT single barrel and it's a banger. I'll never get the OF 1924 I will get a 1920 and 1910 and blend them to get 1915. Have a bottle settling now about three months going to let it sit another month I have smelled it and it is delicious smelling. 115 for a ten year is way out I can get Russell and eagle rare for under 50 in my area. OF is just gouging it's customers.

[@empyrean987]

I love when you guys are like yeah it fits our flavor profile, you mean sweet deliciousness of the gods??? I'll take the ass steak rather than the filet for sure when buying my whiskey...... I havn't seen a bottle of EH Taylor in 3 years and Eagle Rare in 2. Can we just say its the best stuff and its hard to get and we need more of it..... Great Blind boys!!!!

[@hammer3122]

OGD BiB is my favorite value 100 proofer. Can't go wrong at $25.

[@brantleymasters435]

I’ve been apprehensive on the 1924 since release. Past weekend I got to blind it at a bar thanks to a helpful bartender. Last place. Not very interesting. What hits my palate as “ethanol forward”. Meaning, not much fun to drink, tastes more like ethanol than much else. I was a pass based on stats and price, now I’m an even bigger pass based on experience. $30 bottle rip off, Knob Creek 9 (not even 12) year > 1924. Just IMO.

[@dacrab1]

So $100-125 bottles all won! KC12 is an amazing value EHT SmB is always a goto but you pay up and has. Market value at $100 Thus why Remus and OF1924 priced their bottles up…

[@HittingGreens]

It kills me watching these reviews. In Australia, a Remus VI is AUD$161. Knob Creek 12 is about AUD$270...like wtf. On the flip side, I can get a Blanton's original at all major liquor stores for AUD$147 or the gold for AUD$230. Eagle Rare you find for AUD$80 - $90. I can also get a Wild Turkey 12 everywhere for AUD $150. So its not all bad but the range of products available to try is so much more limited. At this point I would consider trading someone a Blanton's for a Knob Creek 12!
