What are the best alternatives to Blanton's?
Рет қаралды 383,986
Күн бұрынBlanton's Single Barrel Bourbon is arguably the most well known and brilliantly marketed bourbon on the market today. But with so many of you out there chasing the grenade style bottle shape and collecting those iconic racing horses on top in hopes of spelling Blanton's, this popular bottle from Buffalo Trace has become really difficult to find on the shelf at a fair price. So if you have tried Blanton’s in the past and loved whats in the bottle and not just the bottle itself, then this video is for my top alternative
bourbons to Blanton's! Enjoy!

The list of scotches, bourbons, whiskeys, and whiskys that I have removed from my cabinet as the price became more reflective of the hype, rather than the product, continues to grow. It must be at least 5 years since my last bottle of Blantons, and I don’t expect I will be drinking it again. Thankfully, the rise of craft brewing is producing American whiskeys that rival any of these corporate products, and the excitement of hunting down these small producers is much more satisfying than bringing out a bottle of Pappy.

As for the 1910, even though it's a brown foreman product and is nearly identical to Woodford double oaked, something about it kept me from draining the bottle.

Great choice hard to find at home now. My laziness and curiosity drove me to trying Larceny. Something with a pleasant taste and flavor and a neat name. Now I find Blanton's when not looking for it.

I needed this video... I just started my adventure in to whiskey about 6-7 months ago. As of the last month, I have specifically taken a liking to bourbon. As I continue to look for unique and classic bottles to try, Blanton's is the one that continues to evade me. I actually saw it at a store selling for $250, which I refused to buy. Not long after my hunt to find Blanton's at a reasonable price started, I found out that my young brother, who by the way does NOT drink whiskey, has a bottle of it because he "wanted a cool bottle". When I asked him how much he paid for it he said, $50-60. He didn't remember where he got it of course. My hunt continues but I'm glad I have alternatives to search for now. Thanks!

Yes! One of my favorites is Evan Williams single barrel vintage! It's like $27 a bottle here in oklahoma (which has notoriously high bourbon prices) and is outstanding! I'm spoiled to have this as my everyday pour and now find it hard to pay the price for eagle rare or Blantons. I would honestly be fine with paying $50-$60 a bottle for this, but it would then move into my weekend pour instead of everyday pour. Delicious!

Great stuff! The 1910 is my favorite out of all of these. The closest thing I have found to Blanton's taste-wise is FEW bourbon from Illinois. If you can get over the fact that it's bourbon from Illinois, it tastes very similar if you close your eyes. It's not a single barrel, but it is 20% rye and bottled at 93 proof. Give it a pour if you haven't yet - cheers.

I toured Bowman distillery 2 years ago and they told me on the tour that despite their juice being outsourced now, that the recipes and in particular the fermentation yeast are theirs alone. I was left with the impression that they don't just take one of BT's mashbills but continue under their own recipes. I wish I had taken notes at the time. They also had a large expansion project underway and the guide indicated they were planning on taking their distillation back in house. Maybe it's time for another tour. :-)

I honestly haven’t had regular Blanton’s in a while, so I don’t really remember the flavor profile, but all these picks are solid.

Greets from Westerville! Loving your picks, those are all great bourbons, though I would have gone Woodford Wheated over the Double Oaked. Double Oaked is dang delicious, but different flavor profile from the Blanton's that I think is better matched by the Wheated, which speaks to the Weller history of Blanton's. I would have also included Old Forester Single Barrel Store Pick, which is utterly fantastic... but really hard to find, and impossible in Ohio. However, totally respect your picks! Cheers!

Started drinking Blanton's in the late 80's and I used to buy a bottle for myself on my birthday. Love it and I haven't seen it for years. I like Evan Williams Single Barrel, but the experience is very different for me. The lack of complexity is the stumbling block, but that won't stop me from enjoying it. The Russell's Reserve is much closer IMO. I can't think of anything I don't like from Wild Turkey. I will have to give the Woodford Reserve a try. I very much like their standard offering. Might be to sweet for me though. Eagle Rare is the closest to the Blanton's experience that I have tried. That probably isn't a surprise!

Can't wait to try your recommendations. I have 4 bottles of Blanton's left so I will enjoy. I can't believe they are up to 180-250 bottle but inflation is inflation until it's not. Thank you m. Keep up the tastings. Seems bourbon has gone the Napa route.... :(

Great video.... never understood the hype of Blantons... plus the price is insane.... cant wait to try these more reasonable sippers!!!

The push-in to the 3 Blanton’s bottles was awesome man. That’s a hard style of shot to get without a slider! Thanks for another great video.

I travel from PA to MD not for the price but the availability of bourbons that I can't find here in PA.

I have fond Pinhook Bourbon to be pretty similar in it's flavor profile also. it's a higher Rye content, but still tastes very similar. and can be found! :)

Wolcott BiB from Total Wine is also a very nice alternative. And one that I personally think is superior. It’s the same mash bill but not aged quite as long. Sourced from Barton 1792 so it’s owned by Sazerac as well. Would love to see you do a video on it and other store brand bourbons

The Baker's 7 single is absolutely fantastic. Beats all the rest for my tastes.
