My grandfather used to make a little in the old barn. His big joke was aging didn't make it better. He let a bottle set a week one time and it didn't change a bit.
This wasn't the B.O.B., if it was it would have blown them all away. The price difference is like $3 too so it's like they purposely bought the shittiest one instead of providing a good bottom shelf whiskey.
I've been a OGD fan a while. 114 is great too. I just picked up the OGD 16yr shelled out $150 for it the most I've ever paid by far but haven't opened it yet. Planning on opening on Christmas lol.
We did a whiskey tasting with like 28 different whiskeys and old Grandad bonded ended up in the top four in a blind tasting it's a fine whiskey for what it is
I think the bottom shelf Tequila idea you can go 2 different paths: 1) Just straight bottom of the barrel cheapest swill you can find. OR 2) Cheapest 100% Agave Tequila. (None of that Mixto junk)
When I was little if I got sick and had chest congestion mom would give me a tablespoon of Old Grand Dad. When I got older she couldn't find the bottle anymore lol.
I'm a blue collar worker and can't justify buying any bourbon except from the bottom shelf. I have had some bottom shelf Bourbons and for me Evan Williams black label mixed with zero Pepsi is my favorite. My second choice would be Kentucky Tavern reserve. It is undead smooth.
Little bit surprised Old Crow didn’t make the list. Looked into Glenmore distillery and it seems to be owned by Sazerac. They also seem to be a central location for various different names.
I used to drink a bottom shelf called BOURBON ROYAL. I was as smooth as 80grit sandpaper. Definitely had to chase it with a really cheap beer(Milwaukee's Best). I now just stick with Evan Williams and Lonestar Light.
Boy I remember my high school days, going to ball games and such with a pint in my pocket of Cheap whiskey..... old Granddad, Old Crow, Kessler's Whiskey, Early Times.... too many to remember.
Like a true southern man after 5 shots of different bottom shelf bourbons, he simply says Early Times is my favorite. If you’re going to the bottom shelf, go with that. I'll fight ya!
i drink Early times alot.RnR Reserve is good bottom shelf.The Sickest i been was on old charter.iz 16 at party with my older cuz.Started guzzlin Old Charter n bud stupid not wizer n bush.Cuz had to drag me uncosious to His Beautiful 64 Buick Skylark blue with white interier.I puked up blood n everything else...im 54 now and have never drank old charter ever again..Sorry cuz.Thanks Bamma Boss.
I married a little 5'3" firecracker from Eastern Kentucky. Anytime she says she needs "cough syrup", she pulls out a bottle of "Old Grandad". The joke has always been that you take a good swig and quit coughing so you don't have to take another.
What he was drinking was not rye either. I don't know why he kept saying that stupidity. Old Grandad is just a high-rye mashbill bourbon. It is not going to be sickly sweet like some of the others. I prefer bourbons with a high rye mashbill. Wild Turkey is also a high-rye mashbill bourbon. I think guys like "Boss" might be best suited drinking Canadian Whiskey.
@Ratedred don't really have a specific 1 I have many that I drink depending on my mood but here's what I typically keep stocked old taylor, ten high, old grand dad 114, rebel 100, benchmark, Evan williams bottled in bond, old crow, mellow corn, jw dant, ancient ancient age 10 star, and j.t.s. brown
one in every four bottles of Jim Beam my grandfather bought was dumb whiskey, normally they served him the smart whiskey but that dumb whiskey was ever lurking on liquor store shelves throughout the Mississippi Delta
@@dabanjoEarly Times is consistent with its flavor profile and readily available in most places, my go to when I want a drink and don't want any surprises.
Old charter is Sazarac Buffalo Trace, actually is not bad and it's like bottom shelf eagle rare sameeeeee mash bill and same with ancient age is sameeeeee mash bill and Blantons. Worked at a liquor store for awhile,I was the whiskey guy.
You wanna try some bottom shelf whiskey that belongs on the top? Try Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. Costs twenty bucks and I'd pick it over Jack any day. Mellow corn is pretty good too.
@@Sir4everKcRoyal the parish to the north of me has the highest consumption of old charter in the nation. Not per capita mind you. The roughly 80k people in the parish drink more than all other counties...including those with MILLIONS of people lol
Another great video. As you said, it's football season, do you think you would do a tailgate video? You could showcase all of the must-have foods for a successful game day...& maybe a couple of trusty beers Maybe you could do a best of worst burgers
Old Thompson was my go to when I was a teenage whiskey enjoyer, The smell of it makes my stomach turn now… So obviously next time Boss needs to try it! Lol.
You ain't lived until you've tried Military Special Bourbon sold in military liquor stores (Class VI). Paint thinner would have better flavor and go down smoother. 😂
As a native of louisiana, anyone in the SEC is more than willing to attest that we know our way around some bourbon and because of that I have to say that Old Charter and old Grandad do not deserve to be in the company of these others
Love the series, as I'm a bit of a pour boy. I know you pride yourself on avoiding pretentious jargon, but I do wish you would've spent some time considering the differences between "straight bourbon" and "Kentucky whiskey with grain alcohol and artificial flavors."
I like Old Grandad, it's probably my favorite cheap bourbon besides Old Tub, but I do think their bonded 100 proof and 114 are better. The guy on the front is supposed to be Basil Hayden, the original owner of the distillery founded in 1882, but it's now owned by Jim Beam/Suntory. There's also a bourbon named after him. Basil Hayden is the exact same mash bill of 63% corn, 27% rye, and 10% malted barley but aged longer. OGD is aged 2 years and BH aged 6 - 8 years and is a lot smoother. If you like rye, you might try Old Overholt. It's cheap, but it's not too bad for a cheap rye whiskey.
This channel randomly appeared on my feed a couple weeks ago, and I've been a fan ever since. Seems like I have a lot of catching up to do. As someone from Ky, (if you havent done this video yet) try some Mid shelf to Top shelf bourbons maybe? I recommend Willet, Eagle Rare, Buffalo trace, 1792, Larceny, and Angels Envy. If you wanna drink Bourbon on a budget to just get hammered, KG (Kentucky Gentlemen)
I can drink a half litre of Woodford and feel fine the next day. Give me 5 shots of cheap whiskey and I feel like I have a railroad spike hammered through my head! 😅
Yeah, there's an unbelievably good bottom shelf bourbon that costs $13 for a bottle, unfortunately it's only available in Kentucky. Old Fitzgerald 80 proof. I have probably $50k worth of bourbon in my collection, I buy a case of Old Fitz prime every chance I get.
Time to be nice to the Boss - give him TOP shelf bourbon next time !!
I would love a topshleft review
Yes!
Boss is quite personable and effortlessly himself; which is refreshing these days. Haven’t watched one I didn’t like yet.
He's the real deal. No BS here.
My grandfather used to make a little in the old barn. His big joke was aging didn't make it better. He let a bottle set a week one time and it didn't change a bit.
as a lifelong non-drinker, I can say this is a top-shelf channel. Subscribed.
Welcome aboard!
Me and Early Times have some crazy stories together lol.
Mines eagle rare that shits like $30 here cheap and not shit
The old grand dad is by far the best out of that bunch.
This wasn't the B.O.B., if it was it would have blown them all away. The price difference is like $3 too so it's like they purposely bought the shittiest one instead of providing a good bottom shelf whiskey.
@@AnsticePaloI didn’t even know they sell 80 proof OGD 🤣 I can get BIB for $15 and I prefer it over most nice bourbons
I've been a OGD fan a while. 114 is great too. I just picked up the OGD 16yr shelled out $150 for it the most I've ever paid by far but haven't opened it yet. Planning on opening on Christmas lol.
“My whole family done give up on me and it makes me feel oh so bad. The only one who will hang out with me is my dear OLD GRAND DAD” -George Thorogood
Old Grand Dad Bonded is only a couple of dollars more and far better than the regular, still considered bottom shelf to most people
OGD 114 is decent too and will put hair on your chest. Good for old fashions if it is too hot for you to shoot.
Old grand dad is my go to.
OGD bonded rye is one of my favorites. I like a lot of the bonded bourbons. I don’t like Jack Daniels but I do like Jack Daniels bonded.
We did a whiskey tasting with like 28 different whiskeys and old Grandad bonded ended up in the top four in a blind tasting it's a fine whiskey for what it is
I'm a big Early Times Bottled in Bond fan myself. It's my daily drinker for sure. Too good for the price.
"OH no, we're poor now" 😂

Bro this dude is hilarious 🤣 😂🤣 have laughing the whole video
Plenty more where this came from! Thanks for watching!
Boss' pour is what has him LIT within the first few "sips." These are like full+ shots.
It’s not the size of his pour, it’s the fact that AB downs the whole damn shot all at once! 😳 sip brother, sip!
I'm a blue collar worker and can't justify buying any bourbon except from the bottom shelf. I have had some bottom shelf Bourbons and for me Evan Williams black label mixed with zero Pepsi is my favorite. My second choice would be Kentucky Tavern reserve. It is undead smooth.
Time for another Brown Bag Special, Part 2!!!!! Include Thunderbird and St Ides Malt Liquor!!!!!!!
Funniest creator on UA-cam.. good laughs
🙌🏼🙌🏼
@@Ratedred Zachariah Harris was rough as hell and damn the hangover was brutal. I am enjoying some Buffalo Trace right now.
@@RatedredTry Old Crow it's also bottom shelf
Little bit surprised Old Crow didn’t make the list. Looked into Glenmore distillery and it seems to be owned by Sazerac. They also seem to be a central location for various different names.
I used to drink a bottom shelf called BOURBON ROYAL. I was as smooth as 80grit sandpaper. Definitely had to chase it with a really cheap beer(Milwaukee's Best). I now just stick with Evan Williams and Lonestar Light.
a tequila shoot bottom and top shelf and top shelf bourbons would be great Boss. Full Send.
Boy I remember my high school days, going to ball games and such with a pint in my pocket of Cheap whiskey..... old Granddad, Old Crow, Kessler's Whiskey, Early Times.... too many to remember.
One that you didn't have here that I actually really enjoy is Old Crow! 😊❤
Been seeing that one a lot in the comments!
If it good enough for Ulyses S Grant its good enough for me. I like Old Crow!
@@Mr50403old crow is just young Jim beam.Exact same juice

Alabama Boss is absolutely king of kings as drinking goes. So funny👍👍👌 Tequila review absolutly sir!
Charter bourbon circa last Wednesday!
☠️🤣😜
Alabama Boss reminds me of my uncle Doyle, they BOTH are AMAZING MEN!
I've drank alot of Old Grand Dad Bourbon through the years but it wasn't the rye version and it's pretty smooth.

Our bar used to have $1 Kentucky tavern and cokes. Used to love it
Not a bad deal
@ the drinks were a dollar, the hangover was free
Right on!
🤘🏼🍻
In Virginia the Early Times plastic bottle is now considered part of the local flora.
one in every four bottles of Jim Beam my grandfather bought was dumb whiskey, normally they served him the smart whiskey but that dumb whiskey was ever lurking on liquor store shelves throughout the Mississippi Delta
Temu Jack Daniel's 🤣🤣
High Ten is actually pretty good.. It's blended and has flavoring added, but can't beat it for the price IMO.
Early times whiskey good for drinking on a budget.
Real good imo. Especially for mixing or chasing with soda.
@@dabanjoEarly Times is consistent with its flavor profile and readily available in most places, my go to when I want a drink and don't want any surprises.

Worked at a liquor store for awhile,I was the whiskey guy.
@ Alabama Boss did you know you have lots of fans here in mexico
The grandaddy on the bottle is Basil Hayden
You wanna try some bottom shelf whiskey that belongs on the top? Try Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. Costs twenty bucks and I'd pick it over Jack any day. Mellow corn is pretty good too.
I'm so glad I don't drink anymore but I like watching other people do it. Get your hands on a bottle of Tom Moore that's some good rot gut.
EnJ!!! Red top,blue top, green top, black top, white top
I approve this message 😅
it all gets you there...
Old Grand Dad 100 is a botton shelf banger.
I was drinking Early Times watching this 😂
I quite enjoy Zackariah Harris. Wish I could find it here in Louisville.
Shame the grandad 80 didn't do well, never had it but the grandad 100 and 114 are my two favorites
Give it a try and report back
I’m pretty sure the 8 on Old Charter is the suggested retail price 😂
You're probably right.
😂
@@Sir4everKcRoyal the parish to the north of me has the highest consumption of old charter in the nation.
Not per capita mind you. The roughly 80k people in the parish drink more than all other counties...including those with MILLIONS of people lol
I think I have had those all at one time or another. Cheap bourbon will still get where you want to be, but you might pay for it the next day.

Do gin next! I love these videos.

5:07 80 proof is the minimum required to be considered liquor. that is why they are almost always that.
Bump these all up to the “Bottled in Bond” versions and they’re actually hard hitters. Early Times and Old Grand Dad punch above their weight
Life is so short, budget brands are definitely don't float my boat. Be good to yourself and enjoy quality. 🙏 🇬🇧
"This'll git'chu angry stupid" 🤣🤣🤣
Try the Even Williams Bourbon, it's low price but the taste is really good.
THAT is some honest shit right there.
No Old Crow? Please include that in the part 2 🙈
as a Bears fan that Caleb Williams pick made me literally laugh out loud...
You should try Ancient Age its a good bottom shelf bourbon.
I heard they also make something called Ancient Ancient Age, have you seen that? I'm curious if it's real?
Shhh....... Don't tell everybody.
I’d love to know how much old charter I’ve consumed over the years, It’s hard to beat for the price.
Bama Boss " needs more IPA craft beers to test , Still rolling from his last taste years ago 😂
You should've had Beams 8 Star. That's bottom shelf for sure! 😂
Do a tequila tasting next and have Ashla there with Boss.
I bought some Zachariah Harris egg nog. It was pretty good.
Well alot of whiskey drinkers also appreciate gin so you would probably find something there, though bottom shelf scotch is more likely the next step.
Half of these I haven’t seen or heard of. I was interested to see what you think.
You gotta really squat down to find these.
Do bottom shelf tequila next.
Yikes
The king of bottom shelf tequila has to be Tortilla tequila. Stuff makes Jose Cuervo taste top shelf.
"Oh no we're poor now" lmao

Buffalo Trace makes an appearance!
You also forgot Evan Williams and Wild Turkey
😂. I love your tasting technique, take a decent swig swish it a round and swallow. Non of that pinky out, sip, swish and spit BS!
I can drink a half litre of Woodford and feel fine the next day. Give me 5 shots of cheap whiskey and I feel like I have a railroad spike hammered through my head! 😅
alabama boss post a new video, it’s going to be a good day
Also, the guy on the grand dad bottle is pappy van winkle himself.
Haven't watched the video yet, but Old Grandad is the best.
🦅🇺🇸💪🤠👍 sometimes bottom shelf is a little ruff but it gets the job . Looking for a good night and a bad morning.

The question is what are you gonna do with all that leftover shit you DON'T like? 😆
You haven't experienced bottom shelf liquor until you've experienced Military Special.
If you reviewed dryer sheets i would still watch! Nee sub!
Who told you what our next video was?
You got the dui starter pack there😂
Zackariah is Jack's Amish cousin lmao
😂
No club 400 in the mix😂
Try Rebel 100 sometime. 100 proof wheated whiskey whatever that means lol all I know is it's enjoyable for under 30
Soundtrack as he is drinking the early times, please??
I drink early times daily it's easy to drink
Waiting on the hawaii beer review.
😂..."we're pour".
I LOVE THIS GUY FOK
Time for boss to try Famous people's liquor. Like Ron whites tequila and Josh Barnett's whiskey
Smoking a cigar and watching this
Needs to Taste test Mescal and Tequila as a comparison
We need a schnapps review.
Good idea.
