The New KING of Affordable Bourbons - BRT 277

[@MangoSurferDude]

Y'all had WT101 on the bar top but said nothing about it. It is a great all around bottom shelfer. Appreciate the show and content.

[@fishhead680]

Yeah but let’s face it… does it really need words…?

[@Fish-Erman]

Yeah, 101 is excellent, but in my area it doubled in price in the last 2 years. Lately I've been drinking Woodford Reserve, $50 for the big bottle, and quite good IMO. I just wish it were 100 proof instead of 90. But it kinda fits into the budget category when it's $50 for the biggie.

[@BourbonRealTalk]

Regular viewers know that WT101 was my prior King of the affordable bourbons. We did talk about it, but that section got cut out of the final video. WT101 is my #2.

[@adamwhatley4710]

@@fishhead680 Nope. Nor is it "bottom shelf"....literally or figuratively. WT101 has it figured out like no one else for the $. taste-proof-price.... I cant bring myself to do the Evan BiB. I just cant. its technically bottom shelf and $20. Why?

[@LoneWolf-qk9pl]

@@adamwhatley4710 Totally agree. Big WT 101 fan here !

[@reedr7142]

KC9 is fantastic-probably my go-to sub-$30 sipper. For OFs, I love EW BIB & 1783, Benchmark Bonded, JW Dant, Early Times BIB, OGD BIB, and Old Tub. I’m sure there are others, but these were off the top of my head.

[@0529mpb]

My go to mixer is OGD 114. It used to be $20 in AZ. It's up to $24. My go to sipper is Bardstown Origin 96 proof high rye. It has fruity Blanton's notes, My bottle is closer to 7 years than 6. My first real bourbon that I bought in college was Austin Nichols Wild Turkey 101 with the 8 year age statement. Yeah, I remember the days when you could seasonally walk into a Total Wine and pick up an Old Rip 10. They would sit on the shelf for a few weeks due to the price.

[@jeffsurgener8945]

Benchmark Full Proof is really a great pour for the price, I always keep a bottle on hand for friends to try.

[@buckwilde1511]

If you can find it. It sells out quickly!

[@Usonian7]

I feel like there's a difference between bottom shelf and "value". To me bottom shelf is under $20, value is $20-40,

[@XtopherMartin]

I feel budget is more appropriate than value. If something hits well above its price point, it's value at any price.

[@Defx10]

I always say my favorite type of "bourbon hunting" is for those inexpensive hidden gems sitting on the shelves that nobody talks about. There are so many really good bottles than can be had for under $75, and even under $50.

[@timothycollins3829]

One old time value that I really miss from the days when I first got into bourbon was when Eagle Rare was not only readily available, but available for under 30, and when on sale, for under 25. Other than that OGD BIB, was and is still a constant on my shelf. Not to mention the 114 which I pick up often as well. I just wish the Benchmark iterations were available up in New England. But, wild turkey 101 may have taken over as the bottle I replace most often.

[@kirklandeche937]

I'm "Not too Proud to Beg"! I enjoy a lot of offerings from the bottom shelf! Especially " Buffalo Trace on Steroids"! AKA, Benchmark Full Proof. Admittedly, Knob Creek may have to be revisited. If you woke up this morning and wondered if anyone loved you, just know that we all love you! Great show as always! Cheers!

[@Commish2009]

Yo! I picked up a Full Proof Benchmark! I agree. Soooo good.

[@nolashawn]

I was trying different bourbons w/ an ice cube in the glencairn - and benchmark FP was by far the best.

[@jeffruebens8355]

I am 65 and drank beer most of my life. I live in Frankfort Kentucky, and have got more into bourbon the last few years. I did buy a bottle of Knob Creek 9 year and Benchmark Full Proof to try, they were just OK to me. I have 3 rebuys now, $21 to $31- Old Grand-Dad 100 proof, Early Times 100 proof, and Bernheim Original 90 proof Wheat Whiskey. I would add the Coopers Craft 100 except I can only get it for $35, it is always sold out here for MSRP and only in stock at tater stores.

[@TMAquatics]

Picked up a bottle of Coopers Craft this past week while in OH for business. $31 and it was an enjoyable pour. On par with Early Times BiB.

[@jacksmith2315]

The 101 prf chiseled and charred? It is pretty good. Especially for the price.

[@justadudeintheworldman.120]

Coopers hits above his price

[@rodttu]

I replaced the screw top on my benchmark with a cork from another bottle. That screw top can loosen. Its good juice.

[@wildkard77]

KC 9 is an absolute banger. For ME, its the Glock of the bourbon world. Affordable, no frills (ya get whatcha get), adaptable to any situation and reliable AF to get the job done.

[@Staniii2360]

Did you tried Four Roses Single Barrel? Here in Germany KC9 and the FR SB are around the same price and both are great, IMO.

[@debbybrady1246]

EW B&B is a favorite of mine. WT 101 is always on my shelf. Knob Creek 9-yes. Thanks for the video. Those of us who must buy in a strict budget feel like we are outcasts sometimes.

[@Usonian7]

My favorite bottom shelf mixer or on the rocks is quality house bourbon (not whiskey) Evan Williams is now up to $23. QHB is $7.50, and I'm a Manhattan or old fashioned It's great. In Michigan we can't get benchmark series, we have bm8 but not the series.

[@ladnargnoll1400]

Maker's 46 has been my go-to lately. But you're so right about Knob Creek 9. Also standard 1792 hits the spot sometimes. Great show.

[@jacksmith2315]

I really enjoy the 46 cask strength

[@jasontilley9215]

I’m a bourbon drinker, no wall here. I’ve been exclusively drinking Benchmark Full Proof for awhile now. Before that it was old Grandad 114. 👍🏻

[@jameslenaburg4378]

Agreed, BM Full Proof is great. Bought my last bottle of Blantons FOMO yesterday for 83. It's now way too expensive to hunt.

[@RatsKingdom]

Knob Creek 9 and EW BIB were the 1st bottles i bought when I started.. I am really not a fan of either.. Benchmark and 1792 small batch were my favorite of the bottom shelf starters

[@Zwikster]

What about WT101? It's on the table but no mention? Did I miss something?

[@BourbonRealTalk]

Regular viewers know it was my king of the affordable bourbons. We talked about it, but that segment got cut out of the final version of the video. It is my #2.

[@jeffl4896]

With you with weller but the weller 12 is my jam, the antique is a bit floral to me, def with you on EHT small batch. KC I have a couple store pics that are 14 and 15 yr old I got for $60 a piece and they are fantastic

[@pizzawarlord9232]

Can’t disagree. While I prefer the Benchmark Bonded for my regular evening pour the Full Proof is very good and enjoy it neat. My most replaced bourbon most years is a Knob Creek 9. My local pizza restaurant serves KC 7 yr rye for $9 for a heavy heavy 2oz pour (think 4 to 5 ounce normally) Great G-way, not in as have all of them

[@WhiskyForBeginners]

5:08 Evan Williams Bottled In Bond is a ton better than the price indicates. 🙂 6:12 Around here I'm not sure that OGD 114 qualifies as a bottom shelf bottle - it's like $32. Now it's definitely worth that, but it's not really in the bottom shelf price range 6:30 I'd say the same about Knob Creek 9. It's about $35 here in Albuquerque, and I'd willingly pay five or 10 bucks more - but that's not a bottom shelf price. Of course elsewhere maybe these two are considerably cheaper... 9:08 I swear, Benchmark is everywhere except here. 😢 My recommendations for bottom shelf bourbons are, in no particular order: Old Forester 100 Wild Turkey 101 Evan Williams BiB Bulleit Jim Beam Black 7 year

[@BourbonRealTalk]

OGD114 is $22 here KC9 is $30 here

Barrel picks and distillery take overs are once in a lifetime events for most if us, but to me the greatest thing about patreon is the monthly virtual bottle shares.

[@bserieshatch1]

You going? See you at Giant Distillery.

[@pjgerlach]

It’s all about the OGD 114 as the bottom shelfer. VOB 100 is also a solid choice along with the Knob 9. When I get crabby about the cost of bourbons in the store, I’ll pour one of the above! 🥃

[@jacksmith2315]

VOB 100?

[@pjgerlach]

@ Very Old Barton 100 proof. They also have 86 and 90 proofs but the 100 is where it’s at.

[@SpenceHitt]

I’m so happy y’all give Knob Creek some love. A lot of people I know crap on it because it’s a Beam product. My favorite bottle of all time is Knob Creek 12 year, and I get made fun of all the time for it, but that won’t stop me though. Too bad I can’t find it in El Paso

[@michaelyoung3987]

Thanks for the recommendations. I shall check it out, possibly tonight.

[@waynefialo9492]

Big fan of both the EW BiB and Benchmark FP. Great pours for $20-25 bottles. Cheers!

[@antonihathaway6235]

The OF 100 Bourbon and Rye. Both are great values and are good neat or for a good old fashion.

[@BourbonRealTalk]

If I had a #1 affordable rye it would be OF Rye, but the truth is I seem to drink lower cost bourbon frequently, but when I drink rye it is usually in the premium category.

[@blakestah]

Benchmarks are taken from the top floor of the rickhouse. They are aged in the highest temperatures. Stagg is aged 8-9 years and is pulled from the same floors as Eagle Rare (it is 1-2 years younger and full proof but otherwise Eagle Rare). BT is from the floors between Eagle Rare and Benchmark, and the lowest floors store BTAC in the BT rickhouses.

[@BourbonRealTalk]

Great information! Where did you get it?

[@blakestah]

@@BourbonRealTalk From a BT rep at a tasting. And, BTW, if you taste BT next to Eagle Rare and Col Taylor, you may be stunned how subtle their differences are.

[@jacksmith2315]

I started collecting feb-march 2023. Within that short time, ive aquired over 200 bottles, and ive been very lucky with a lot of allocated, hard to find bottles, and have never paid secondary prices. Here in MA, we dont get a lot of the better bottom shelf offerings. For benchmark, we only get the standard number 8. We just finally got ogd 114, finally just got blue note as well as bardstown. I know those last 2 arent bottom shelf, but they are great affordable shelfers. We always had the odg bonded which i really like for cheap juice. A family memeber was traveling and ended up getting the benchmark full proof for me. I didnt have high expectations because of the prices, even with all the videos talking about it being a great bottom shelf bottle. When i first opened it, it was about what i was expecting, not very appealing to me. Pretty harsh, eventhough I drink a lot of 120-130 prf whiskeys. Super potent medicinal cherry, like robitussin. I had a pour a few weeks later, it did get a bit better. Opened up and rounded out/balanced a bit better, but still cheap tasting and very medicinal, but better for sure. I seen a video the other day about someone tossing some type infuser/barrel ager type thing called a spiral. They said to put it in benchmark full proof, and it would make it taste like stagg. I ignorantly laughed to myself and said thats just ridiculous. Couple days later, i poured myself a little stagg 22b. It actually did taste a lot closer to benchmark full proof than i expected. Granted 22b is gar from one of the good staggs, and obviously a lot more complex and polished/rounded out than bncmrk fp, but very reminiscent of. Now i really want to try one of those infusion spirals in the bncmrk fp haha.

[@BourbonRealTalk]

I am not a huge fan of the spires. They add a toasted marshmellow and milk chocolate note to me that taste more like a maker's 46 than anything Buffalo Trace does, but I am sure the final product taste good. I just don't think it would taste like Stagg JR to me. I have done some interesting experiments blinding people with BMFP. When people don't know they are drinking a $22 bottle, it does really well. You may want do to a blind with 4-5 BT products and see how it does. I would encourage you to have 4-5 so there is enough to confuse your palate. Cheers

[@jacksmith2315]

@BourbonRealTalk i have a couple staggs, few ER and a few BT single barrel picks, as well as EHT sml btch, SiB and EHT BP 11&12, and blantons. The BMFP would stick out like a sore thumb to me because its just so much heavier on the medicinal side than the other, but i can totally see the resemblance with 22b. 23b, the only other stagg i have, is completely different, and so much better than 22b. Wish i was fortunate enough to get 22a or 23c. The BMFP is still fairly newish and only a couple pours missing, so i think it needs some more room in the bottle to open up more. Ill definitely give it a shot in a blind once it has had some more time and room in the bottle to open up a bit more to give it a better shot at the others

[@tommiller4895]

Amother great bottomshelfer is Heaven Hill BIB. I also love Knob Creek 9! Based on you recommendation I can't wait to try Benchmark Full Proof.

[@mero40k]

JTS Brown for $20 is pretty solid.

Love the content. Love BRTC. Benchmark full proof is definitely a hitter, for sure it can’t be beat for its price. I don’t know if I’d really consider Knob Creek “Bottom Shelf”, considering it’s 37 🦌 in my state, but it definitely beats out most 30 to 40 🦌 bottles.

OWW an bottle shelfer?!? Bwahahahaha that stuff trades for $200 out here on secondary in the PNW. My go-to value poor is EW 1783, followed by Early Times BiB, which has been extremely scarce the past couple months. Something is going in there

[@davidwoods358]

I love the affordable stuff. A grocery store where I live blew out their EW BIB for $12.00 per bottle (a fantastic deal.) Another grocery store stocks Benjamin Chapman 7yr. Canadian 90pf whiskey for $14.00 per 750ml. Tons of vanilla and some rye on this one. It comes in a heavy duty bottle with a large cork (not a screw top.) easy sipper and a steal for the price (IMO.)

[@StayingOutdoors]

If proof is your main priority when deciding a daily go-to, then I agree that Benchmark FP can’t be beat at its price point, but if quality flavor is more important then I just don’t get it.

BM FP is hard to find where I live. I like it to blend with other bourbons rather than sip neat (a bit too much bite for me).
