After 45 - 50 years of drinking Wild Turkey 101, it's difficult to say anything bad about it. To be honest it has always been a go - to for me. OGD 114, Benchmark Full Proof, Buffalo Trace, and Cooper's Craft 100 Proof.

OF 100 bourbone and rye, Old grand dad 114 and BiB are great for Old fashioned. Early times 100 pretty good as well.

I was a bit disappointed in Jim Beam 7. I found the flavors to be one dimensional and surprisingly delicate. A JB product I love is the Double Oak, see her in the low $20s or high $teens. I like Early Times BiB more than JTS. Some budget gems I like: I see Four Roses for $25. I routinely get Knob Creek 9 for under $20 at Costco. High West basic bourbon, I routinely see under $28. Cooper's Craft 100 is in the low $30s.

I agree on the disappointing JB Black 7 yr. I was looking forward to that maybe bringing back some of what the old 8 year "Double Aged" had. But alas, it did not. I will stick with the Knob Creek since I can get it for $52 a 1.75 at Costco.

Why do all of these "budget bourbon lists" seemingly ignore Dickel 8 Year Bourbon? Aged stated 8 years for very reasonable price. Hello! You can generally pick it up for sub to low 30s. Traditional bourbon tasting notes though a little thin. Great bottle that doesn't get enough recognition, IMHO.

These might not all be full-fledged budget bottles, but they're mine. -Knob Creek 9 yr bourbon (Costco 1.75 ltr for $52) -Knob Creek 7 yr rye (1.75 ltr $60-$65) -Cooper's Craft 100 (until my stock runs out - it's not available in my state) -Old Forester Rye -Old Grand Dad BiB and 114 (mid-$20s at Costco now) -Alberta Premium Cask Strength Rye (currently selling for $29.99!) -Dickel Rye -EW 1783 (maybe - will have to revisit this one). -Woodford Reserve (Costco 1.75 liter makes it more budgetworthy.)

Haven’t had some of these, but I do like the Early Times BiB, the WT101. The Evan Williams Black 7 is ok, but my favorite budget bourbon is Old Grand-Dad 114. Getting hard to find in some places, but I can easily find it and usually between $22 - $30.

>Evan Williams SmB. Good affordable stuff. It's on the shelf everywhere. >Fighting Cock. I haven't even seen that in any store in my area. Doesn't seem like I'm missing much though. >JTS Brown. Another one we don't get here or at least not that I've seen. >JB Black 7 Year. I tried a bottle of this and I wasn't really impressed. For a 20% price increase and an age statement I was expecting an improvement over the older JB Black, not a downgrade. >ET BiB. This isn't available here but is in a nearby state thankfully. It just requires a road trip every so often. Wonderful bonded bourbon! Love the flavor profile! >JD No. 7. Hmm, I haven't drank that since college... >Benchmark SiB. Another product line we don't get in my area. I haven't managed to get any bottles yet but I'm planning on it next road trip to Illinois. >Evan Williams BiB. A wonderful cheap mixer option if you have no other choices. I think a handle runs about $30-35 in my area. For volume price, it can't be beat! >OF 100 proof. Now we're talking! That wonderful Old Forester dark bold flavor profile! I get sweet coffee and tobacco, cherry syrup, maple, vanilla, caramel, baking spices and a good amount of oak from this! It's great neat, on the rocks or mixed! >WT 101. This was a bottle early on in my bourbon journey. It's good value but I can't stand the overbearing peanut note, even with cherry in the flavor profile. You two are doing an Old Forester single barrel black label 100 proof barrel pick? That's awesome!

Opinions are like rear ends, everyone has one, and like rear ends, sometimes excrement comes out in opinions. WT101 is damn good at its price range, sometimes it takes down bottles in the next tier. Putting it at the bottom half is just nuts.

I have been avoiding Jameson for many years. I typically do not enjoy what the "masses" go for. Today I picked up a 200ml bottle to give it a try. WHAT GARBAGE!

A lot of these are not available around here. We can get the OF100, WT101, JB 7Y, and of course JD #7. I seem to have similar taste buds as Jaime. I too am not a huge fan of the JB #7 or WT 101 but really like the OF 100 and the 86 as well. For that matter I have not had anything made by OF that I have not liked and I have tried quite a few. I do like RR 10Y which is a product of WT though. I would have to go with OF 100, Four Roses, JB Double Oaked, WT101, and Buillett as ones I do like. I would put OF 86 instead of WT101 but did not because I already had the 100. For ones I do not like I would go with EW white label, JD#7, JB white label, JB 7 YR, and Old Crow. I like the regular WT as well but not in the top 5.

This line up was my (Jaime) version of 5 I really like and 5 I don’t. David’s would be different. That blind we did was a joint agreement on whether it’s worth the “cost” and if we would buy it again. In the JD budgets I get a ton of peanuts which I’m not a fan of. I do enjoy JD when it’s older, higher proof, and yes most likely cost more. Appreciate your comment hope that helps explain.
