Ok folks, this is the first blind whiskey tasting on the channel. We are doing a Best Budget Whiskey / Bourbon under $25 blind whiskey tasting.

So hopefully you guys enjoy my list of the 5 best budget whiskeys.
Here are the contenders in no particular order....gonna have to watch the vid to see the final ranking 😉
Buffalo Tace
Old Forester 100 Proof
Wild Turkey 101

Bourbon Brawl should be it’s own mini series. High dollar challenge, certain brands, best wheated etc.
Hey, my name is on there. That’s cool.
I like it man!! Maybe that will be a thing. Also, appreciate they support brotha!!!
Yeah I live the simplicity of it. I think it would even be cool to see the comparison with out smelling. Just taste and no guessing the brand. Than see it pan out on the end. Thanks Jeremy for an awesome video
Whiskey Thieves TV yeah it could be cool to see one where Jeremy doesn’t know what the options are. Just let his wife pick a few from a bigger selection so he can’t guess what’s in each glass.
Davis Wallace Sounds like a sick idea to me 😂
Great fun video. Funny story about Wild Turkey…..asked my wife to pick up a bottle of WT while she was at our local ABC store. She comes home with a bottle of Old Crow! Asked her what happened and she said she forgot the name of the bourbon I had asked for but had remembered it was some kind of bird so she grabbed the Old Crow!
I remember old crow from teenage years. It was terrible.... so bad.
Old crow and wild turkey still mixes nice.
You should have added an "f" bomb counter, lol.
Also, Allison should be in more videos!
Thanks!! I think we will have her participate in the next one. 😉
Hell yeah totally agree. It’s good to see Allison. Well her hands anyway cause that’s all we seen. 🥃
Paddy's Irish Whiskey
@@michelecolvin3374 That’s pretty good for the price.
He should have been wearing a red cap...
LOL, dude you turned red when you found out 5th was Buffalo Trace
Haha that was my blood pressure going thru the roof 🤣😂
Paddy's Irish Whiskey
I get a damp hay note on buffalo Trace that I can't stand so I know exactly what you're tasting. Hate it.
You need to change the title to “getting battered with Jeremy”!!!! The funniest but best video that I was laughing out loud.. amazing production and just brilliant
Awesome!!! Glad you enjoyed it! 👍🏻
Paddy's Irish Whiskey
Jeremy, this has to be one of my favorite videos! I really enjoyed the element of Allison being involved as well. Early Times! Never had it, but will be trying it soon. Will you do another Bourbon Brawl with your higher end options? It will be fun seeing the face Allison makes when tasting each of the selections, like when you both did the Asian Snacks Taste Test. Thanks again, for all you do to educate and entertain.
awesome! Glad you enjoyed it!! Yeah we had a blast shooting this one, so there will be more in the future. And we talked about maybe putting her on camera next time. 😉
Got my 1st Buffalo Trace recently and was COMPLETELY underwhelmed. 4 Roses is thin - that's a perfect description.
Do this more often. I love doing blind tastings with friends, and yes, while it might make you feel foolish, it's not about that. It's about being honest and separating perception vs. reality, or what YOU really like. Love your channel, keep it up!
The best thing about blind taste tests is that it shows how much we like what people tell us to like. When you lick it apart not knowing what it is you realize you like what you hate and vice versa.
Best comment. Couldn’t agree more
Wild Turkey is by far the best bang for your buck. Love the Chanel, keep the great content coming!
Jerome b williams $22 for a 5th
Paddy's Irish Whiskey
I did a 100 proof blind bourbon brawl between WT 101, Knob Creek 100, Evan Williams BiB, and Old Grand Dad BiB. The overall winner was Evan Williams but it was close across the board.
have to agree with andrew on this one. wild turkey 101 for 20 bucks?., how can you beat that ? also like jeffersons for a few bucks more at like $24.
Wild turkey
THIS IS WHAT WE WANT!!!! YES :)
😉👍🏻
Jeremy Siers awesome job brotha!! Simple and 😄 funny
Thanks man!!
100% agree. Always great videos. You should your wife help in more videos great comedy
Brand new to this world. As a diabetic, drinking liquor is the best option (after not drinking). Zero carbs!!! Thanks for those video. Very interesting!
This was funny as f***! 🤣 you need to do these more often my man.
will do! We had fun shooting this one. 👍🏻
Paddy's Irish Whiskey
Should definitely do these REAL OFTEN! 🥃
definitely gonna try, we had a blast shooting this one. 😉
Paddy's Irish Whiskey
I love how the last half of this is so full of "I said F--- again!"
What a great show. First time watching.. really enjoyed the banter and the humor throughout!
I love how honest these "blinds", turn out!.. takes balls to risk it like this but it makes it much better imo!
Love this formula! Your wife is so welcome by your viewers. Love to see how much joy you guys had filming this. Looking forward to the Scotch edition.
Thanks so much! We had a blast!
Old Grand Dad is a pretty good budget bourbon too.
This. Was. Hilarious!
Bourbon Brawl needs to be a regular thing.
Thanks for the laugh tonight!
Need to get your wife involved in these more.
Well done! Wild Turkey 101 is one of my faves for the price!
The Four Roses core release is extremely unimpressive. Their small batch and single barrel releases are the opposite, very amazing and enjoyable.
Dude, actually had me laughing through my morning coffee. Please do more of these!
I also don’t like buffalo trace, it’s not horrible but not good either. Has a slight rubbing alcohol taste throughout. Elijah Craig small batch is way better. I gotta try Early Times, other reviewers have picked it as best tasting in blind taste tests for value bourbons too!
Finally found Early Times and yep that beats out Buffalo Trace and Wild Turkey 101 for me.
In my experience you don’t really need to spend much to get quality bourbon, and I live in Scotland!
Great bourbon brawl! There’s a reason Brown Forman products finished 1/2. They’re both awesome bourbons and the best value IMO. I lean more toward OF signature. Hopefully Sazerac doesn’t ruin the Early times reputation. Gonna stock up on it myself over the next year. Cheers!
Thanks for this one Jeremy, you opened me up to some new bottles I wouldn’t have normally looked at. I keep a bottle of old forester 100 on hand at all times now, you should try the bottled in bond old forester sometime. We need mor bourbon brawls!!
What you've had to eat a short time before tipping some bourbon changes the way it tastes especially if it's something spicy. My favorite moderately priced bourbon had been Buffalo Trace until Bulleit came along. To me it's similar to Buffalo Trace, but it's a little thicker and has a nice butterscotch flavor note that I really like. Wild Turkey always reminds me of Christmas because my mom used to marinate her holiday fruit cake with it.
Over the last two days I destroyed a 101 Rye from Wild Turkey. That bottle was used to try multiple bitters and syrups to find some mixes that were keepers. What a beautiful bourbon.
Anybody else happy to see a sponsorship that isn't MANSCAPED?
Hmmm... Maybe a smoke machine company. Just putting ideas out there
I LOVED THIS! Please do more of these! These videos are the real reviews/tests, right?! Love the budget boys too!
Buffalo trace is distinct. That’s why I like it. I have 15 bottle of bourbon that are very similar and when I have buffalo I go ahhhh that’s good
This video was a lot of fun. I love a lot different whiskey. But I pay $37 for a 1.75 l of WT101. As my daily sipper you can’t beat that.
Awesome! As someone who drinks mostly Scotch. This was helpful.
Same here
Awesome man!! Glad this was helpful. 👍🏻
i always recommend turkey 101 to a new bourbon drinker
Okay, I took a shot every time you dropped an f-bomb, now I can't stand up!
Paddy's Irish Whiskey
Blind tastings are exciting! I literally tasted 7 bourbons blindfolded! I did that so I couldn't see the color of the bourbon. Top pick was the most expensive on my counter : Blanton's Single Barrel. Tied for 2nd place was Four Roses Small Batch and Maker's Mark Private Selection!
Love four roses small batch
Just discovered your channel, and dig it. But more importantly, wanted to say very little has changed with Buffalo Trace. I grabbed a bottle because people I know were raving about it and couldn't find it in stores - in other words I wanted to see what the hype is about. I hear you on the floral weirdness, and find it even more watered down tasting than the low proof would indicate. So glad to see it get knocked down a peg in a blind taste test.
For me, a good cigar masks many of the subtle flavors in the glass, so the cigar and spicy chicken sandwich may have effected your pallet. Interesting to try the test again without the contaminates.
How dare you call a cigar a contaminate! lol. I can definitely see what you’re talking about though, especially a particularly bold flavor cigar.
Btw, Delta Sky Club now has the Old Forrester as their house brand. They moved Jack Daniel to premium.
Jeremy, this needs to be a regular thing! Not only was it funny as hell but as a bourbon lover it was nice to see your take on some budget bourbons that I love. Love everything on your main and secondary channels!
Was a bit surprised Knob Creek wasn't on here. Great video. Keep up the good work. 👍
Yeah, price wise it averaged a couple over $25 for the most part so tried to stick under $25 for the most part. Definitely a good budget pick though. 😉👍🏻
@@JeremySiers I have been finding Knob Creek 9YR at my local Sam's Club for $26.95. Hard to beat at that price.
Looks like I'm headed out to get a bottle of Early Times. The only one on this list I haven't tried yet. To be honest, though, I like all four of the others. Hmm... Maybe I just like Bourbon.
Unfortunately, I was trying to go by memory, and went to get a bottle of plain Early Times, not the Bottled in Bond version. I should have known by the rock-bottom price and plastic bottle... It is completely undrinkable, like gasoline. Oops!
@@caldrumr If you haven’t found the Early Times bib yet, you’ll probably have a tough time finding one. In June 2020 Brown Foreman sold the Early Times label to Sazerac , along with remaining barrels. I heard that Sazerac will likely be using some Bardstown to replace the ET. I’m still looking but, have yet to see this great budget buy on the shelves.
You’re editing man! Really is outrageously good and really funny 😂😂
Wives totally change the way we talk/act around our friends. Even if the friends are on the other side of a camera. Lol. Love it.
I don't know a thing about bourbons, whiskeys, I know something about cigars (but I don't smoke anymore) but this video just made my Sunday. Thank you for sharing
I can't fault your placement of Buffalo Trace. I have always thought it was a bit over rated. But then again what do I know, I'm a scotch guy. Lagavulin 16 is the nectar of the gods.
Lagavulin is some glorious juice!
I’m an Isla nut. Peat monsters are basically my water. 😂 lagavulin is my favourite single malt. I go through a couple of bottles a year.
I feel the same way about Buffalo Trace. Just not my favorite at all. I just got a bottle of Early Times BiB and it’s awesome. You should try Old Tub
I finally got my hands on a bottle where I live. I didn’t get high expectations, because I’ve been let down by bourbon hype before. BT is good, decent, fine and has a good finish but it’s definitely not my favorite.
Old Tub is under $30 and is one of my favs.
I found Early Times at my local liquor store for $23 and decided to try it not expecting much. I have to say it has become my favorite bourbon. I used to advocate for Buffalo Trace but when it became scarce I had to look for an alternative. I was a fan of Wild Turkey 101 before but it has also taken a back seat to Early Times.
Loved this! You could then taste each bottle and rank the bottles. Then compare the 2. PLEASE do this in each $25 category ($25-$50, etc) and different categories, scotch, bourbon, wheated, etc.
Blind tastings are incredibly valuable. Thanks for recording this one, and there is nothing wrong with your palate...Buffalo Trace does suck.
Took me forever to find BT and when I finally got it and tried it (neat), didn’t care much for it. I typically use mine now for cocktails
Swizzzle Stix Yeah.. I agree BT and 4R both are better for cocktails.
I tried BT, OF, and 4R about eight years when first starting to drink whiskey. They didn't taste bad but they didn't taste good either.
Col EHT SmBa BiB, 1792 BiB, and ET BiB are current favorites.
Buffalo Trace has something off putting in it for me as well! and I LOVE Early Times BIB.
ALSO agree with your Weller statement
Adding to the top comment. Dude you have a very unique approach to Whiskey & Cigar reviews. Super high quality, Peter McKinnon style videography from a relatable guy on Whiskey and Cigars is needed. MAKE MORE, FORGET THE COMPETITION!!!
I agree Four Roses Yellow label is my least favorite out of this line up. Their single barrel is great. People sleep on the Early Times lol. Keep 3 bottles on hand for daily drinker
“Don’t stare at me. That makes it weird.”
I love this. Thank you. I keep eyeing your shelves and collection in the back. Would love to see the whole collection and possibly a how to if you built that set up or how to light it.
Go to his video of how he put the room together. He shows the rack up close.
I was curious about the backlighting also!
I like everything Buffalo Trace makes.
Eagle Rare 10 Year is my favorite. Blantons is #2. Then basic Buffalo Trace.
Jeremy. I will continue posting until you tell me HOW TO GET THIS ASHTRAY lol
Paddy's Irish Whiskey
Buffalo trace always been my go to.
When I was in the service our e-club kept 10-12 Kentucky Bourbons on the shelf. I got to where I could tell them apart in a second. Won a lot of free drinks doing what your doing what you are doing but naming which bourbon was in the glass. On a physical it was discovered I had a tumor and was given 2 rounds of chemo after the tumor was removed. The chemo killed the sensitivity of my taste buds and could not tell them apart accurately again.
Hilarious. After you blanked all the F bombs though, Allison drops a bomb reminding you of yours @ 22:48. Great video.
I do think Buffalo Trace is a little overrated. Love Four Roses, though.
Glad I’m not the only one who was under underwhelmed w BT.
I get a lot of cinnamon from buffalo trace. I would’ve probably put it right where he did in this review.
I haven't had this four roses but have went thru a bottle of the four roses small batch and loved it. Then bought a bottle of Buffalo trace and was very disappointed... it was very weak, little flavor, and I drink all my whiskeys neat so it wasn't from ice.
@@blakegilbert8137 the small batch is excellent, big step up from the yellow label (which is good for the price)
Four roses tastes like chemically treated rose bathwater 😂
But anyway I’m more a whisky guy myself. Four roses I bough when I wanted to try bourbon and it’s scared me right off.
Update, finally found a bottle of early times BIB!! I blame you and the whiskey tribe for the scarcity, as some one actually had the only bottle in the store hidden behind some old crow on the bottom shelf! Vikings on history channel and a glass for me tonight, skol!!!
I put off tasting the Early Times BiB for the longest time, now it's replaced EW white label as my go-to. Tasty stuff, and you get a whole liter!
great stuff!!!
I'm going to need to try the Early Times now. I absolutely love the EW white label and the OF 100. I have started keeping a bottle of both of them in house lately.
I don’t know a lot about my different liquor but I tried Jim Beam once & it tasted like a burnt trash can. My EDC has been Canadian Club.
I personally feel Beam is the worst rotgut bourbon, but I don't drink much bourbon anyway because it gives me terrible hangovers.
@@clintsmith4026 I feel like Jim Beam & Jack Daniels are like the Bud Light/Miller Lite of the whiskey world. So many better options out there. I get hangovers only when I drink too much, which is every once in a while. Bourbon is perfect for like 2-3 glasses to get a good buzz going and then that’s it. Any alcohol in excess I think will cause hangovers.
It sounds like drunk may have gotten a little someone.
He's not as think as you drunk he is.
Don’t know how I stumbled upon this on UA-cam but I’m very glad I did
Great watch Jeremy. I did a $25 and under blind flight with the wife a while back and we both chose Old Tub as our number 1 out of the 4. Buffalo Trace came in dead last just like this one! After watching your video I'm going to try to seek out an Early Times BIB, haven't seen one here in Nor Cal but hopefully I can get my hands on one.
Here's our list and rankings- 1. Old Tub 2. Evan Williams BIB 3. Jim Beam Single Barrel 4. Buffalo Trace. Cheers! 🤘
Nice man!! Cheers 🥃
I know it’s technically “budget,” but Buffalo Trace just stands so much taller to me
Jeremy: "fuck it up if one was a whiskey"
Me: I got bad news for you
You’re thinking Early Times isn’t a bourbon right? The Bottled in Bond version I have in this video actually is a bourbon. They normal Early Times is a Kentucky Whiskey. 😉👍🏻
@@JeremySiers I was implying they are ALL whiskey, they ARE all bourbons but they are all whiskies as well
Ahhhh, valid point kind sir! A few people had pointed out the Early Times wasn’t a bourbon so I thought that was it. 😉👍🏻
That was awesome incredibly entertaining. Me and my brothers get together and do blinds so I feel your pressure to not disappoint yourself with your palette haha Glad it wasn't disappointing
Really enjoyed this video, the addition of your other half definitely gave it a more relaxed vibe. Keep it up.
Can't even tell you how much I enjoyed watching this. Great blind taste test, loved it.
You could buy 5 bottles of the same brand and get 5 different tastes. Depending on maturity. Just start hanging out on your channel. Super cool
This very quickly became one of my favorite channels to watch
Such a good video, tried Buffalo for the first time as I watched…… yeah not that great, tried old forester 1920 and michters american tonight too, phenomenal. Your vids are amazingly produced and make me lose faith in other media… thanks!
Excellent! As a fellow cigar smoker, could ya do the same with your 5 favourite cigars? That would be interesting to watch!
That was a fun Brawl! I watched with great interest as I have had all of the five bottles. My palate is remarkably similar to yours ... the Buffalo Trace is by far my least favorite. The note you don't like is the wheated note that Buffalo Trace does. Conversely, Early Times is straight delicious! I would have had Elijah Craig Small Batch as an entrant in this competition.
Thanks for the video - enjoyed it. I'm a staunch single malt scotch person myself. I've tried just a few bourbons - Four Roses Small Batch, was "okay", but will not buy again. I feel good that you chose Early Times. I tell people that it's "cheap", but it is the one that I keep on hand in decanters to nip on when I'm out of scotch.
My wife will drink whiskey if mixed with Ginger ale, lol.
We did a taste tasting too with Jameson,Markers Mark, Jack Daniels, Jim Beam. Jack won to my surprise, we left Crown Royal out as been a fav of mine. Great video! Thanks
Man all your videos are classics. Great review. Now it’s time for the budget cigar! CIGAR BRAWL BABY!!!
Right on!
The pose he did after he set the first glass down to flex 😭😂 Jeremy was like “BOOM, yeah you see that”
Enjoyed this very much! Thank you.
my small collection:
Extra Brooks cask strength
Rebel Cask Strength (favorite Daily)
Wild turkey 101
Blade and bow
Evan Williams bottled and bond
Early times
Scotch....
Edraddour
Oban
Monkey Shoulder (Favorite daily)
Irish...
The Classic Laddie
Monkey Shoulder is my daily as well.
Never had the Early Times, but of the other four you had, I would rate exactly the same. I think BT is floral. I'll pick up ET BIB. Try OF rye 100. Really good.
Exactly what I was thinking, though I also haven't tried OF rye 100. I can't stand BT. Worst Old Fashioned ice every had was with BT. My two favorites right now are Evan Williams BiB sms the OF 100, which I tried when my liquor store was out of the EW BiB. Now, I try to keep a bottle of both on my shelf.
Totally get what you say about buffalo trace, I don't like it, get green apple on the nose and palate and a floral aftertaste I just don't care for at all!
I bought a bottle of BT and about halfway through i couldn’t drink it anymore. There was something I just didn’t like. I am going to be picking up a bottle of Early times this week. Can’t wait to try it out
Good one. Have not been able to find Bob Early Times in New Jersey. I’ll keep hoping and searching.
Much fun! Thoroughly enjoyed this video! Enjoy the back & forth with Allison! Hope you do similar more often.
Yes🙌🏼 !!
That’s what I’m talking about bad ass video, keep them coming brother ...
I know you had a huge head change after the second round ...
Awesome video. Defiantly enjoyed this one. This needs to be a regular thing for sure.
Really enjoyed this! Agree this should be a mini series. So many options you could do.
LOVE your video! All of these are great imho. But ny favorite budget whiskey in this category is 1792 small batch. Sadly, in my area.....All of these are over 25 bucks. So ill say budget for me would be under 35 bucks. Try the 1792!
Great video! To bad most say 4 roses is to floral, I really don’t get that much. I think people expect flavors to appear because they are supposed to be there. I’m new to bourbon drinking at 61 years old and I think 4 R is pretty good. I have bought about thirty different bottles in the last three weeks and I have only a couple that taste no that good. Keep the videos coming!
You should definitely do this again it was very funny and sometime your taste just is off... even when you eat things sometimes you just don't taste the same
My favorite way to do blind tastings is to have my nephew pour me something from my collection, and first I try to guess Bourbon/Scotch/Whisky and then try to guess what brand (still pretty new to this). It was a bit challenging in the beginning because I only had like 10-20 bottles. Now it is VERY challenging because I have over 100. If you start off knowing what you're choosing from, you end up trying to figure out which is which instead of which you prefer I find.
I am also a brown Forman fan, both old forester 100 and early times bottled in bond are my go to's and wild turkey 101 is my no think drink.
Wow, I got 4 out 5. Not bad at all. Now I'm going to try Early Times.
I did the same 5 while watching this video. I know Wild Turkey. By heart. Same for ET. Lol.
I went Wild Turkey, Early Times, Old Forrester, Buffalo Trace then 4 Roses.
I remember drinking four roses for the first time and being blown away. I loved it! Somehow, the next time I got it, it tasted totally different to me. I still like it, but I wish it could be just like the first time I had it always.
