The BEST Bourbon For $30-40 dollars - We Were Shocked!

[@slbdrinks]

I am soooo sorry folks I forgot to add the names of what we are drinking on screen in this video. Here are the letters and what they correspond with for this video! A: Coopers Craft 100 B: Makers Mark Cask Strength C: Russells 10 D: Old Grand Dad 114 E: Eagle Rare F: Knob Creek 9

[@TimBWig]

Wow. Epic Fail!

[@thomasgoundrey2576]

You should pin this comment

[@BrandonF12]

OGD really last 🤯🤯

[@davidcraine6721]

Is this ordering incorrect? In the video D was last and F was second which would put OGD second and Knob Creek last. But that's reverse from the way it's shown in the video.

[@michaelmadigan8456]

I like not knowing sometimes, so I’d say “forget” every once in a while to show the bottles as you drink them

[@paulcarder8032]

This has been my favorite episode. I've got a bottle of Maker's Barrel Proof ready to open! I'm 70 years old and don't have the room, income, or income to build an extensive Bourbon collection. Back around 2002 when the boom was about to start. Beam had the small batch collection. Buffalo Trace (Ancient Age) had Blanton's and Pappy's. Spring 2002 I bought a bottle of Booker's for a little over $50, knocked on his back door, and his wife let me in so he could graciously sign the bottle! Bought a bottle of Blanton's a little over $50. Same for George T. Stagg. When Pappy's 20 year came out, it was about $90 and from the last of Van Winkle barrels. There was Ancient Ancient Age 10 year. Very old Fitzgerald. Before Knob Creek, Beam Had Old Bourbon Hollow. Had the honour to sit for a couple hours nd drink shots with Parker Beam and listen to his stories. His favorite was Evan Williams Single Barrel. He said he wouldn't walk across the street for Bernheim, an all wheat whiskey. When we drive down 31E out of Bardstown to Barren County to visit family, we pass through Athertonville where their closed distillery still stands. Would have liked to have tasted their product. Closed in 1972.

[@clydekimsey7503]

I too love EWSB

[@Birdylockso]

Evan Williams Single Barrel is hard to find these days. I found one a couple years ago, for 26 bucks! But it's just one, so I'm saving it. I also have some Booker's for like $46 from maybe 7 years ago. Gonna keep them for a while. Now, I am moving to Elijah Craig Barrel Proof, with C2021 and C2022, but I was too late to find the C2023. Oh, well.

[@Christopherogley]

Wow

You guys definitely do alot for helping a new bourbon drinker out. And I’m sure even experienced bourbon drinkers get a lot from you as well. As a fellow Hoosier it’s cool to keep up with you guys.

[@lisawilham-pepper]

I truly appreciate you all doing these as I am trying to learn more about bourbons. I have had many I like but you all have given me so many more ideas of ones to try and your honesty is so refreshing.

[@Christopherogley]

Me too..I'm Irish scotch. UK go figure...but we're stuck on trace bullet jack.... should be more shelf stock

[@tobyhayes611]

I regularly drink Knob Creek 9 yr. and Coopers Craft 100 proof and love them both. I currently have a bottle of Cask Strength Makers which is good, but I wouldn't buy it regularly. I agree with Kurt on the Russells Reserve 10 year, It's a solid bourbon, but not my favorite Wild Turkey product. I rarely drink Eagle Rare because it's difficult to find in my area, but I would rank it with the Russells. I'm a little surprised the Old Grandad 114 didn't rank higher, but I enjoy the Old Grandad bottled in bond more. Another great blind! Keep up the great work.

[@DaveNorton-yi5ix]

One of my favorites that you've done. I'm actually personally thrilled, because part of the reason I started following your videos was because I discovered that our palates are similar so I have been able to get some good directions on what to try or not try ... the reason I'm happy is that in recent months I've become kind of a MM guy ... not the basic one but the higher proof ones they've been releasing. Fun video !

[@ptrskycam]

I thought you guys were going to include captions. It’s more fun knowing what you’re drinking while you’re sampling it. I really am enjoying your videos. You introduced me to several bourbons I probably would not have tried otherwise.

[@rebeccatyler5596]

This is his mom…I’ve already messaged him when I noticed it and reprimanded him lol!! He said he is going to add it in the description of the video.

[@Black43Rose]

They filmed on Thursday night and it's released at 5 am so don't be too hard on the guys.

[@whiskeymechanic]

I’ve watched you guys many times, as well as other whiskey/bourbon enthusiasts on KZbin, doing blind taste tests. I’ve done these myself, and have also been shocked at the results once my wife disclosed “the name behind the letter”. I love doing blinds. They’re generally a lot of fun. I do want to make a statement, not as criticism to you, but as a note to consider for anybody else watching this as a bit of a learning experience as well as for the entertainment. Over time, I’ve definitely learned that it may take more than 2-3 tastes before you can truly taste the (next) drink, especially when following a complex & higher proof whiskey. Generally, the first taste (a big one, at that) is the “burn off” as I like to call it. It’s basically your tastebuds reacting to the new flavors in the mouth. I personally (and this may just be my experience to doing blinds) don’t expect to get the real flavor until around the 4th+ taste of a whiskey, and only then can I give an accurate opinion on it. Cheers! 🥃

[@burnone4789]

I am unsure if this has been suggested yet, but it would be awesome to blind the winner from each tier for the overall champion!

[@rmika99]

Knob Creek 9 is a nice pour and I have often, but love the 12 year for sharing with friends or special occasions. Great job guys!!

[@jeremiahchamberlin4499]

At last! You’re drinking the whisky I drink most often! Eagle Rare is my favorite, but it disappears from my house so fast, perhaps because I’m trying to find the missing back end. I found the Old Granddad 114 enticing at first, but determined that I was ‘tasting the proof’ more than anything. I want to like Russell’s stuff, but it always winds up tasting a little ‘flat’ to me. I think it may be the branch water they use down in Texas. I generally like Knob Creek stuff (like Old Granddad, it come’s from Jim Beam), but I have not tried their ‘9.’ I think I may have had Cooper’s Craft and Maker’s Mark Cask Strength one time each. I remember really liking them both, and would probably purchase again on a payday (I think they’re a bit pricey, but worth it). Anyway, enjoy the show, and I wish I could join you all for a tasting session, I’m sure I would enjoy it. Edit: I love Maker’s Mark at 101 proof; used to be the green wax top (I think) when I was first introduced to it in 1969, at the age of 16. I’ve always liked both Maker’s and Beam products, from the very start. Wonderful video, keep up the good work.

[@davidchurch874]

I love that you said B tasted like wax and it was makers mark haha. I love the selection. Knob Creek 9 is my number 1 though. Still amazing video as always and thank you guys for the video

[@WorkFromHomeEmplyeeOfTheMonth]

Great stuff guys! Haven't had them all, but can see how MMCS came out on top, i really like it!

[@user-se8es5yt9j]

I enjoy your show because of your back and forth conversation. You're a great team! Also, I would come and visit my Uncle in Kokomo in the 70s from the Detroit area.

[@markjones5297]

Are they from Kokomo or valpo….. have only saw them mention valpo

[@batmanjr787]

I agree on the office being top 5! Great blind! OGD 114 is a shocker. One of my favorites.

[@RodneyHenderson357]

Spot on guys. Just Re-Upped my Markers CS. I have the other Markers finished series for special occasions, but goto daily CS or even 46 CS. It's solid juice.

[@GrotrianSeiler]

Love this video. Blind tests are the best. We are so persuaded by what we “think” we know. Surprise! I love MM CS. I buy it all the time. And RR 10 is always an enjoyable pour. Cheers

[@jgetts1]

Crazy, how different prices are. But then again a lot of independent mark ups out there. Some of our local stores vary quite a bit, but you learn who the honest ones are by shopping around a little. Have purchased ER and EH Taylor both under 40, OGD 114 under 25, and a Weller Full Proof for 50, in the past month locally.

[@robertbrotherton2118]

Really enjoying these price point shows. Gives me a good guideline. Looking forward to the live show

[@KrisChaney-s3d]

That's a great lineup. Without tasting, I'd tell you Coopers' Craft would be my favorite, but at this point, who knows?!? Loving this series - looking forward to next week. Have a great weekend, gents!

[@Black43Rose]

I am watching at 5:30 a.m. great way to start the day. Don't feel bad, Kurt. I wouldn't know what Eagle Rare was without you guys! I will be watching tonight for the livestream!

[@michaellavazza960]

Makers cask w toasted char spirals for 10-14 days is probably the best pour out there…it’s INCREDIBLE

[@ColoradoFlyFisherMan]

I've been putting oak spirals in bourbons that taste young and grain forward, really mellows them out. I'll give the MM cask a try.

[@benforman3089]

I want to say I appreciate your channel! You all do a great job and give my friends and I great insight before we try bottles. Gotta say the makers cask is definitely a go to of mine on a Friday pour! Keep up the great work!

[@councilcopeny7922]

Love the channel, and love when you all do videos about budget bottles that the common bourbon drinker can get. I have all of these and my go out of these 6 would be coopers craft.

[@tonic6734]

Great show. I have had all of those many times. My favs are Eagle Rare and the Makers Cask Strength and 3rd would be the Russell's. Yes, please put them up so we can see what it is while you're tasting 😂.

[@reikoshea]

So, the funny thing about this line up is, Makers Cask Strength is what got me into Bourbon. I drank and loved Scotch for years, but never acquired the taste for Bourbon. About 5 years ago, i kept trying things in the under $40 range, and about 15 bottles in, I found Makers Cask Strength, and suddenly a switch flipped, and all 15 bottles were gone in about a year and a half. It's become my go-to recommendation for getting people into Bourbon, and it's got a pretty decent success rate so far.

[@hardcornpour]

It would be interesting to see y’all do a poll, but have someone else tally the results and do the pours so you’re going in totally blind save the theme. Great video as always! Can’t wait for the next drop! Cheers!!!

[@Race_Fans_United]

Super fun video! I remember liking Makers CS, but it's been a while since I've had it. I'm looking forward to re- visiting it!

[@tonyn152]

Great video! I've had all of these and really enjoy them. Not surprised about the Eagle Rare. Was never sure what all the hype is about it. I've had 4 bottles of it and they are good, but never blew my skirt up (so to speak). Thought the OGD would place higher, but there is tough competition in the line up. Love the Makers Cask Strength too, and adding a few drops of water to it really opens up the flavors of this bourbon.

[@trevormarquardt4025]

Glad to see that it isn't just us who really struggle to pick blind. Thanks for sharing and your honesty. Slainte

[@paulhendershot111]

I like all of these bottles but I really expected the OGD 114 to be up high. I like the Russell's 10 year for a lower proof sipper, but I will take a Russell's single barrel or Rare Breed over that any time. Knob Creek 9 is probably the most underrated bourbon on the market. Consistently solid but mostly overlooked. Love the blind tastings, guys. Can't wait for next week's.

[@msspi764]

It’s good to see Knob Creek 9 come in there. Confirms my preferences.

[@josephhorton3804]

This was one of my favorite videos you’ve done. I have every one of these in my bar and that is exactly the order I would have put them in. I love Maker’s Mark CS and all MM releases. You guys are the best.

[@sbuczko]

I enjoy all of your videos and especially “the best of” comparisons. One type that never seems to be done though are the best of in proof ranges, like 80-90; 90-100; 100-110 etc. Higher proof always seems to carry the day and so it is a bit unfair to compare a 90 proof to a 110+ proofer. Thanks for all your good work.

[@SPAMsammiches]

Man, I think Cooper's trounces Knob 9, but that's subjective! Knob 9 SBR is much better, but Coop and Craig small are my day-to-days now. Great video, guys! I always love to see you tasting stuff we can get here in VA!

[@JMo-uh5cd]

Did the OGD 114 get baked in an F150? Lol. Shocked it didnt win this blind, it comes with a ton of delicious flavors for me

[@IndyGuy65]

Great $30-40 list. I have 3 of the bottles on my bar but Knob Creek 9yr is by far my favorite. I have had Eagle Rare at a bar but don't see it in the stores here. Makers Mark Cast Strength is a good bottle but I am surprised it beat out KC.

[@dethvader5261]

I love Kurt’s reaction when he realizes how low he ranks Turkey products. Love the channel and thank you for all the hard work y’all do. For the record I also love 🦃 products as well. It's crazy how total blind testing works.

[@borgcutus5780]

Super lineup guys! I'm not surprised that the top 2 were KC9 and MM. Also not surprised that ER was down the list, or that Russells 10 where it was (although I love it), but very shocked OGD was last. I've never had the pleasure to try CC100, all I can get near me is the basic CC which I can only use as a mixer. Trenton eating a raw potato sounds like great entertainment!

[@kirklandeche937]

I'm kinda fond of Stuff and Whiskey also. Great show! Cheers!

[@Chilliwack56]

Here in BC, Canada KC9 and Russells 10 are easily available, Eagle Rare comes out several times a year, the others I have never seen or they maybe come out once or twice a year and are all a lot more than $30 to $40 a bottle (of course as I have said before you have to add 30% for exchange roughly)

[@workisfun...2438]

Russell's is my favorite of the bunch. One of my Favorites!

[@sweetsinnndy5201]

I love it when people I respect, which is the two of you, are so surprised. Very cool.

[@jeffreywiener2563]

Love the videos. They are my perfect breaks in the day during work. I crack up with Trenton busting on himself as he hunts for a word. As such, I think Trenton was looking for the word "compile" or "curate" rather than "culminate".

[@LakeSailor321]

Good lineup! Cooper's 100 is so good for the price, typically $30-33 in my area and it's usually available. I enjoy (and I have) all of these at home. I need to revisit the Maker's CS but from what I recall it would be behind KC, Cooper's, ER, and Russel's for me I think. So many good options in that $30-40 range!

[@GeoffByrdMusic]

I just had my first bottle of it tonight and it's a STELLAR pick for 30 bucks. Just a really good, solid choice and I'll buy another one for sure. I'll bet it makes a great old fashioned too.

[@gerardohuerta6925]

[@rustbucket9318]

Ive never tried the bottom 4 but the Makers and the Knob are two of my favorites. My brothers and father will get together some times with new bottles and do the same thing with the blind taste tests. We do not agree as often as you two though. Keep up the good work guys, I really enjoy learning more about brands I know nothing of and I love the humor.

[@beaudwayful]

KC 9 year is my pick of those. Solid goto at that price point. I was unimpressed with the Maker's Mark CS.

[@hollyjhj3732]

Very interesting lineup. Not surprised, however, that Cooper's Craft placed above Eagle Rare. And once again, it was Thelma and Louise who descended over the cliff, not Bonnie and Clyde. 😂

[@Robert.Sheard]

I wonder which is worse, going over a cliff in a car, or getting riddled by bullets from the feds in your own car? 😂 And yes, Cooper's Craft 100 is terrific for that price.

[@craigbutler623]

Yep, bonnie and Clyde got shot , they didn't drive off a cliff lol. I wonder if they drank Bourbon ?

[@erikibarra14]

In TX we can get OGD114 for $20, so not surprised to see it at the bottom. Still a great value bottle though

[@donaldlanham389]

I'm not surprised Old Grand-Dad was last, but what i am surprised with is how well it blends with others. You guys mentioned it as part of the home made blends episode (poor mans pappy) and I also did a 2/1 blend with bakers-7 and they were both phenomenal.

[@dalefrazier5011]

[@anthonymanna4218]

Makers Mark Cask Strength and Knob Creek Nine are always on the shelf. Love OG 114, can't get it in PA.

I will continue to try new stuff, but it is getting a little out of hand with all the different brands that are available.

[@stevenmorgan8823]

I know it's already been said but.... I again just blinded it with you. I was looking forward to seeing your tasting notes compared to what I know. When I wait until the end, I forget what you said about the earlier sips and I'm unwilling to rewatch a 30 min video. That being said, I have blinded eagle vs Russell's and clearly prefer eagle. I have never blinded knob vs some of these so I might have to try that. I normally drink knob 120 which would stand out just for it's proof. I'd love to see this line up with a makers 46 (which I think is leaps and bounds better than the cask strength). Good video

[@cosmic_kid2868]

First, y’all spend 30 bucks for OGD 114? I get it for 20 bucks in my market. For my list: 1. Knob 2. OGD 3. Makers 4. Russells 5. Coopers 6. Eagle Rare

[@andrew.triggs]

To me, the only bottles you have in the 30-40 range are OGD114 and Knob Creek. The others are over $40 (I don't' have cooper's craft in my area, so I don't know). Will the next bracket be $40-$50? I've done my own blind with the bottles on my bar and Maker's Mark Cask Strength won. Probably one of the best bottles out there, regardless of the price.

[@karl0318]

Nice blind review as always! Old Grand Dad in San Antonio, TX is in the $20-$30 category ($24.99 average). Though not a big Maker's fan, I do love Maker's 101 and am now encouraged to go get the Cash Strength (just not the 46!)! Trenton committed to eating a raw potato when he tried A (Cooper's Craft) and thought it was no more than 90 proof. 😄 See ya'll tonight!

[@clydekimsey7503]

I too live there😊

[@logut80]

That's cheap! It's over $30 here in KY

[@gerardstaniszewski8309]

IMO, Knob Creek is consistently a great buy. From their regular 9 year up to the single barrel picks. The Ryes for the price are hidden gems.

[@insulwiseenergycomfortsolu3293]

I got a barrel proof single barrel last year here in Pa and was blown away by it. I went out and bought 4 more of them. It was that unique and delicious.

[@brorjace1980]

I think Maker’s 46 is much better than Maker’s cask strength. Love you guys. Keep up the good work.

[@grantyoung3076]

I think you guys need to do a blind tasting with six bottles, but only two actual products, but from different batches/years. I think there may be a lot more bottle to bottle variability than we think which results in some of these extremely surprising results. I say that both as a huge fan of SLB Drinks and from personal bourbon tasting experiences. I'm sure a statistician could figure out the best design, but you get my drift.... Keep up the great work - just LOVE this show. g-

[@slopper]

I don't usually buy bigger bottles, but the 1.75L knob creek 9 is only like $10 more than the 750ml at Total Wine by me. It's $46 for the 1.75L which is an incredible deal.

[@Best_Overserved_--_No_Ice]

It's a $27 difference at the Total Wine by me: $30 for the 750 and $57 for the 1.75. You're lucky they're so close in price!

[@slopper]

@@Best_Overserved_--_No_Ice I just double-checked, and it's actually a $13 difference ($33 vs $46).

[@afty2703]

I definitely respect the blind tastings. Just goes to show how much confirmation bias plays into it when NOT drinking blind. You guys need to sneak in a bottle of Four Roses Small Batch Select in the next blind to see how Trenton ranks it. He always scowls and makes faces when he knows he's drinking a Four Roses product, but would love to see a line up of 6-8 bourbons to see if Trenton puts the 4R at the low end of his list. Always entertaining, guys! Good job!

[@jameselsfelder2648]

Enjoy your videos!!! Have you ever reviewed or included in a blind tasting Jim Beam Single Barrel??

[@robertjennings9105]

I think if I did this blind Knob Creek and Makers would have been my 1 & 2 also. Great video.

[@davetbrunner]

What an awesome lineup, these are all favorites! I would probably put Cooper's craft in 2nd, and leave everything else the same :) Makers cask is the real deal. Always a steal at $40

I just found some Cooper's Craft Reserve 100 750ml for $22 and thought it was price mistake. I think it's a steal at that price. I think it's good but not as good as Woodfords Double Oaked, but the cheapest I've seen it is $50 for 750ml.

What a great blind! I really want to do this blind now too. I think my order would be very very similar to yours, but as you say in the video, you really never know until you do it blind!
