THE BEST CHEAP BOTTLES OF LIQUOR!

[@AnotherAnotherJosh]

[@bigboybigdog8643]

Eh… his take on gin being flavored vodka was a little disingenuous

[@RictorIAG]

Another great budget bourbon is Evan Williams Bottled In Bond. It's 100 proof and around where I live it's currently going for right around $16.50 for a fifth. Bottled In Bond is a federal regulation that governs how the bourbon is made. Any bottle that says that is likely to be good. It was actually the first federal regulation in the US to ensure the purity and quality of any food product. It stipulates such things as the bourbon all having to come from one company, and from one year. It has to be aged a minimum of 4 years in a federally bonded warehouse. Etc.

I'm a veteran, was actually addicted to alcohol and cigarettes. Alcohol and cigarettes addiction destroyed my life. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder, got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.

[@MorrisBasar-jm9lc]

I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.

[@ErnestoHorner88]

Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏

[@CathieGomez-mp8sk]

YES very sure of mycologist Predroavaro. This treatment worked for me. Helped me got rid of my anxiety and BPD.

[@Iiisslogan-co6np]

How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta

Yes he's Predroavaro a professional mycologist. My daughter did straight shrooms in few days. Made her whole! after words, no more addictions, pains, ptsd and depression. It helped us.

[@hermannmeier9405]

Never before has so much wisdom on liquor been condensed in 1:30.

[@Seebeejeebees]

Also, if you have a Costco nearby (and your state allows it to sell liquor), Kirkland brand liquors are a steal. Their spiced rum and Canadian whisky (only 2 I've tried so far) are pretty solid and a 1.75L bottle averages $18.99 or less which is insane.

[@douglaswatkins6281]

I like the vodka.

[@JJGray21]

Their Vodka is great too

[@brassmule]

My Mexican neighbors both love Kirkland tequila anejo. Gave two separate neighbors a bottle not too long ago, they asked where to get more a few days later.

[@danielgodfrey4415]

My dad did a blind taste test of the high dollar Johnny Waller and Kirklands brand. Kirkland was the better buy.

[@AKYLE315]

Their vodka is thr best I've ever tried its almost tasteless lmao

[@paladin656]

Bro scared me when he started talking about bourbon while holding a Mac. But he brought it back. 🎉

[@winnchester95]

[@medina4600]

Flor de Caña is a great recommendation. Excellent rum at an affordable price!

[@hermannmeier9405]

Also, they have a product for every price range.

[@SilentFlames907]

I like Sobieski for a cheap vodka, it's generally well regarded. Maybe not "cheap" but on the cheaper end Deep Eddy's makes the best flavored vodkas, especially the lime, grapefruit and cranberry.

[@stonewall6225]

I like the regular video format instead of the shots, very good. Keep them coming.

[@gabewelch9984]

fleur de caña actually has some of the best middle shelf rums. Great pricing and a brand I don’t see frequently in the craft cocktail scene as they have no representatives in my area

[@avgaming4093]

I recommend Diplomatico's lineup too, namely Mantuano for the price and the good blend they put together! Flor de Caña is by far my favorite too

[@HaniJIsmail]

It's cheap, simple and good....

[@kevina.7234]

I'd personally go for Evan Williams BiB for a budget bar bourbon that is more likely to be shot or mixed into a cocktail than sipped, but can do in a pinch.

[@sirred3052]

Watched the video to see this bottle and was disappointed so straight to the comments and thank you

[@AlexKlindt]

Ahh good old EW White Label. I'm probably a little more partial to JB BiB myself, but still an excellent whiskey that won't break the bank.

[@milkmann-on1dq]

I genuinely love Evan Williams BiB, it's my go to daily along with standard Makers TBH. Ancient age is best as a mixer.

[@olianderson1194]

My favorite mixers are either Jim Beam White Label or Canadian Club 12 which actually is a great whiskey for the price. It may not be American but it’s pretty good

[@AlexKlindt]

@@olianderson1194, when I tried Ca Club 12, I was astounded at how much better it was than the 8.

[@dashingdahlias8873]

What I will say is if your juniper notes are too harsh in your gin I'd suggest sticking it in your freezer to chill and/or investing in a nice botanical blend McQueen and The Violet Fog is a Brazillian gin thats become more popular in the states over the past couple of years. If you like fruitier flavors, the lemongrass they use in their blend sets it off so well! ((If you chill this bottle, swear to God it tastes like Froot Loops)) $35-$40 for a 750 ML. Worth every penny! Alternatively, Whitley Neill Raspberry is delightful!

[@triggeredsnowflake2507]

A personal recommendation on tequila from experience: Milagro! Blue bottle (silver) for mixed drinks, and the orange bottle to drink straight (reposado). It’s generally about the same price as other tequilas too!

[@GabeSegura94]

It also depends on what you want out of it, if you want it neat, you might want to spend a couple more dollars to get some that are great neat and can be in cocktails.

[@restfulCube8035]

Regarding Scotch, there are no truly budget friendly single malts out there but some blends are cheap and very decent. Teacher's is particularly good value for money.

[@davidriley6843]

Speyburn 10 is a decent budget pour

[@gamestopholdmusic]

im a recovering alcoholic and no matter how many times i click on “stop recommending this channel to me” youtube still keeps recommending it 😵

[@texasflooring]

Benchmark 8 is the cheapest straight bourbon whiskey on the shelf and is a buffalo trace product. Cruzan is a great budget rum.

[@dabb8145]

Flor de Caña...thanks for so many black outs. Cheers 🥂

[@Jkeys-ov1mw]

also Evan Williams BoB is one of the better under 25 bottles of bourbon I’ve had. State minimum in Michigan is around 19 last time I checked

[@SwizzleStickMcGee]

95% correct...Smirnoff sucks & there are better options. Sobieski or Wheatley if you want to stay on the low end. Everything else he said is 100% spot on....but it serves the lowest tier customer. I always break things down to 4 categories: $20-40 $40-60 $60-100 $100+ There are rare exceptions where you get a $40+ spirit for $20-30...but generally speaking? You get what you pay for. $40-60 will get you the highest quality everything - except scotch... $60+ is really like "This better be amazing - or you better have a good reason for this price." Lol

Sobieski vodka is $10 per 750ml in my neck of the woods. I'd put it against Absolut, Tito's and Stoli any day.

[@atomomnis2391]

The only part that doesnt make any sense is when he said "it doesnt matter the brand, what matters is what's inside".. like bro i think the brand is a pretty good way to determine whats inside

[@erniefromnctinc]

Great information! The Tequila is a funny one, and needs clarification. Cuervo silver you showed at the end is the exception as it is "Made With" blue Agave vs. 100% Blue Agave. Big difference when you are considering a great sip vs. a night of bad decisions. Jimador Tequila is another great budget brand. Cheers and keep these great video coming.

[@jdhardy79]

The tequila budget bottle he shows is Monte Alban silver which does state 100% agave on the bottle

[@paulblackmore1630]

Yukon Jack is the best cheap liquore keep in mind its a liquore not a wiskey but its best used in place of whiskey.

[@AdventureSeeker88]

Smirnoff? Hell no, you can’t drink it straight at all, taste like hand sanitizer, and hangover is terrible. It’s distilled within an inch of being an industrial solvent, then diluted and mixed to get the desired ABV. That makes for a pretty harsh drink

[@IllIlIlllIllIlIl]

Team Flor de Cana! God I love that stuff

[@ethanjf713]

That Flor de Caña white rum is a good one.

[@defimeeksdee3293]

I agree on everything except Gin. Using Drumshanbo or Hendricks instead of fucking Gordon's in plastic bottles makes an insane difference, especially in gin&tonic. Drumshanbo with Fever Tree Elderflower Tonic is like a mansion and Gordons with Schweppes Tonic is like a tent.

[@xSintex]

But the question is, are you going for classic tonic, or something that deviates from it? Because both hendricks and drum deviate from london dry, and so does fever tree's tonic water deviates from classic tonic flavor. I'm not saying they're bad, on the contrary they're delicious, but it all depends.

[@defimeeksdee3293]

@@xSintex Yeah I guess it deviates from the classic tonic. But even then taking fever tree premium dry tonic water and tanqueray to make a classic tonic is still way ahead of Gordons.

[@Silvyu4]

Flor de Caña. Finally. A man of culture 🔥 I HIGHLY recommend the 12 Y.O. bottle.

[@nickt6980]

Bumbu is vanilla extract, with sugar, and notes of ethanol....

[@ianwalker2205]

Seagrams vodka is banger, and the NA Gin is actually really good

[@imbecilicGenius-hn3jo]

Its best to move slow and not try to fully stock a bar at once, if your using it as well then you can get away with lower quality spirits but you will notice, especially in more spirit heavy cocktails. All of these recomendations are great but once you start getting more complex then you probably won't be happy with these. I'd also say that for liqueurs start with 375's rather than fifths as they don't tend to move as fast as you think they will. Also refrigerate wine based products after opening.

[@luckymetal13]

The only thing i would replace is the gin for either Beefeater or Bombay/Sapphire and the tequila with El Jimador or Milagro. Good stuff 👍🏽

[@bigboybigdog8643]

Nah, New Amsterdam is half the price of anything else in a glass bottle. It’s the best budget liquor out there across all types of liquor. Bombay Sapphire is gross. Tanqueray Rangpur is the best gin out there overall.

[@RevShifty]

I'm definitely a fan of the Sapphire. One of my all time favorites for a classic gin and tonic.

[@nevadanate4957]

Bombay is good but not cheap. Beefeater is kind of the golden sweet spot but it's overpriced at most small liquor stores and grocers.

[@triedlikesilver]

I used Monte Alban for a long time because it was so affordable. It's definitely a sweet, peppery tequila. I always felt like it was a good choice. I feel like I just got confirmation of that

[@NinjaTerd473]

You want even better choices? Brother's Bond for Bourbon, Burnettes for Vodka, Lunazul for blanco Tequila and Hornitos for Añejo, Tanqueray is literally the baseline for Gin, then Plantation 5 Star and Goslings and Bacardi for Rums. These are all affordable spirits. No bottle should be over $40. But I also don't like spending too little on alcohol. You tend to get shit that tastes like Isopropyl Alcohol.

[@jarrodm9010]

$25 Pyrat XO Reserve rum is pretty solid, plus the bottle looks cool on the bar. Rain wheat vodka is like $13 per bottle and is as smooth (or smoother) as Grey Goose or Belvedere... just my 2 cents from experience and customer feedback

[@somethingedgy2185]

Vodka tastes like what it is made of, it is not tasteless.

[@SeanStephensen]

What about cognac?

[@jasonwalk4257]

Ancient age is pretty dang tasty, so is that bumbu rum. as far tequila goes, mixto's tend to be cheaper than 100% agave and unless your drinking it strait, it'll do well enough in your cocktail.

[@K0sm1cKid]

Bumbu tastes good but it's like syrup. And not as strong as most rums. So it's tough to mix rum cocktails with it if you're someone like me that sucks at making drinks.

[@avgaming4093]

"Well enough" is not "good", and if your mixto choice is Jose Cuervo... the entry 100% agave ones are just 5 bucks more for the fifth tops and you will get a better agave flavor

[@nevadanate4957]

Bumbu is stupid. Just buy a nice rum that doesn't have sugar added. I'd rather add sugar as needed.

[@nevadanate4957]

Also don't recommend mixtos, they aren't good in anything. Drinks with better liquor taste better.

[@seananderson2044]

Lunazul is the best cheap tequila I've tried. It's like $20 a bottle, and is just as good, or better than the others. I don't agree with Smirnoff over Tito's. Around here, Tito's is like $25 a bottle and Smirnoff is $24, yet Titos is way better. The best Vodka I've ever had is Zyr Vodka. It's definitely worth the price. What's interesting is my bottles say they were made in Russia, but current ones say they were made in USA. The Rum and Bourbon recommendations I haven't tried though. I've been looking for Buffalo Trace, and so far my favorite Bourbon has been Maker's 46.Perhaps I'll try them soon.
