Great video! OGD Bonded is one of my favorites. I need to replenish soon! BT on the shelves here at Sams Club regularly for 27.99! Just picked one up.

Can't argue with your list, but I would have squeezed regular Eligah Craig onto the list, its the bourbon that got me started on better quality bourbons.....for a great price,,,,,,,,

I can find OGD 114 for like 22 near me and it’s the one of the few bottles that I will always rebuy

Good list! I just got a Benchmark Full Proof and I'm really happy with it, way better than the low proof Benchmarks. I agree OGD 114 is the king in this range. Sadly I've never seen Early Times BiB out here in California.

I think Buffalo Trace is a perfect pick for your list. I think it should be at the top but I'm a big Buffalo Trace fan and I drink everything they make up to George T Stagg. I live in Central Kentucky so I have no problem getting most any bourbon.

Very surprised that Maker's Mark was not mentioned

Early Times BIB all day everyday 🤘🏻. Hasn’t been any available in VA since last drop in October.

OGD 114 was my previous favorite value bourbon, and it reigned supreme for years! I've recently fallen in love with Benchmark Full Proof; so much so that it has dethroned OGD 114 as my favorite value bourbon. I've tried all the variants of Benchmark, and for me, none are even in the same league as the Full Proof. Absolute value per dollar. Wild Turkey 101 is a staple and can be found anywhere, so if you can't find Benchmark Full Proof or OGD 114, that's the one I'd choose. Buffalo Trace is super tasty, but it's fairly hard to find, and it's also one that can be super over-priced due to its popularity in the secondary market. I'd love to try a higher proof version of it, as Buffalo Trace only 80 proof.

My favorites are the 100 proof Old Grand-Dad that is $23 here, and the Bernheim Original 90 proof Wheat Whiskey for $30. My son likes the Jim Beam Double Oak.

Old Grandad 114 is very hot. IMO. still a good buy

That's too bad, only $23 here. I agree on the Cask Strength. One of my fav's

Actually if you’re okay with ryes the Old Overholt 114 is 19 in Ohio and a banger. It’s OGD 114 but a rye. The other bottles I’m okay with. Enjoy!!

After # 4 I was preparing to comment on how could you leave our OGD114 but then it came in at your #1! Im a higher proof guy and for my money its OGD 114 all day long in this category!

Excellent list, I love it! My current daily is OF 100, but I'll be giving OGD 114 a taste soon!

I would have put Early times in last place.

Old Grand Dad is $20.00 bucks here in Wisconsin, for some reason the bottled in bond is more expensive and I actually prefer the bottled in bond.

I can't argue with any of your top 5. Only changes I would make is WT 101 is #1 for me. Hard to find the ET in Alabama as well. My honorable mention would be Ancient Ancient Age. Incredibly good for the price.

Awesome Picks.😝👊🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲💯💯💯🥃🥃🥃 outstanding. A pitty we can't get the early times BIB Or the Old Grandad 114 in NZ.🌏🥝🌿🌿🌿🥃🥃🥃💯💯💯😭😭😭 great video brother.

Buffalo Trace averages $34-36 Where I live. Good luck finding it for under 30 these days.

WhistlePig? Willet? Widow Jane? High West? Elijah Craig?

Great list, very solid choices. I'm on the west coast if you'd ever like to do some sample trades!

Can't find OGD114 or Early Times around here so have to rely on your opinion on those. I like the BT and OF100 over the WT101. I have only had 1 bottle of the WT101 and found it just to be OK but will have to try it again based on so many people with more experience than me liking it so much. I would add 1792 SB, Buillett and Elijah Craig SB to the list to go along with the OF100 and BT. I also like OF 86 a lot as well.

Nice job

Good luck on your channel. I enjoy listening to others' opinions..I can get Elijah Craig small bath under 30 where I am. Only one I would add..this one may not be widely available, Wheel Horse can compete favorably to WT 101....

Could not find Early Times BIB in NY if u wanted to. OGD 114 went up because of a stupid rumor that it was gonna be discontinued.

Where's the Mello Corn

Jim Beam black label! Cheer's

WT101 from a few years ago, maybe. Today’s WT101, not good at all.

I can't handle Evan Williams. Something about it I just can't like

Whiskey is dead..and allocation killed it. Tequila is KING. You can't find Weller 107...but Espolon is everywhere. ❤

Good luck with your channel When you speak try to have a little enthusiasm as your voice tends to get gravely

Quit watching giving Evan William BOB an honorable mention!

Love Buffalo Trace and Wild Turkey 101, but Old Forester 100 has to be my favorite. I really do like bourbons that are sweater on the noise and on the pallet. Also where im at in Iowa 1792 Small batch is 27$ right now, and is also freaking amazing. I still prefer my Old Forester 100, but 1792 SB is top quality under 30$. The only other bourbon in this video that I had is Evan Williams bottle in bond. To me its a typical 17-19$ bottle of bourbon. Nothing special in its price range, it tastes almost the same to Evan Williams Small Batch, fighting cock and most of the pallet is close to old overholt with the exception of the Rye front pallet. Not saying it is bad by any means, its just the epidemy of a 17-19$ bottle. if you want lesser quality for the 15-20$ range try Bird Dog. A bottle which I cannot call bad, but nothing good about it either. a 15-20$ bourbon which somewhat surprised me is rebel 100. It tastes very bold, and lacks the slight offputting bitterness most 15-20$ bottles. It lacks anything that stands out, it is strictly bold, no sweatness, but at its price point compared to other bottle it cannot be beat compared to other bourbons in that price range I have had.
