I regularly buy the Rebel 100. For $16 it is hard to beat. Our pallets are pretty close as I also find the Bardstown as delicious. Really good blind.IMHO
I've done blinds myself on that Rebel and it's always done surprisingly well! Started out with a 750 and ended up scoring a handle for like $27 at ABC. Best wheater value out there!
maybe i have an off bottle of garrison brothers but mine taste very young and grain forward. taste and smells like wheat bread to the point where its not very enjoyable. The only other wheated bottle i own to compare it to is the weller 12 year and theres no comparison there.
I love the blinds. I've had conceptions after tasting something many times not blind. Then in semi blind it falls flat. Is that reality, skewed by the others. Or the day of the week. What you had for lunch skew. It's very helpful especially when you've had some of these you are tasting. Cheers
Great blind! I prefer Maker's 46 over the regular everyday, and I would have thrown Larceny in there. After I do a comparison, I usually mix them together, and most of the time, it's great! Cheers Conrad 🥃
I've only had the Weller and the Maker's mark. I'm glad I didnt pay more than MSRP for my Weller SR, its pretty boring IMO. not worth the hype. Great Blind. I'm gonna hunt down that Rebel 100.
I've been getting into wheated for the last 2 years. I love the Bardstown BIB I have Makers and Rebel. I prefer the Makers to the Rebel. I'd be hard pressed to pick between the Bardstown and Larceny. Larceny got me into the wheat category. Would you do a video on 4 grain whiskey.
Great video. I did a Budget Bonded bottle blind (8 bottles) and Rebel 100 took second for me. So I'm not terribly surprised the Rebel 100 did well in your blind. I am shocked to see it beat out the 1792 Sweet Wheat though.
Honestly $80+ is cost prohibitive. 1792 at $25 best damned deal I know of especially for a night of whiskey drinking or sharing. My bottle of Hibiki was gone in 3 nights, but at $80 I’m hesitant to replace.
Just getting into wheated and would love to see more videos like this! Same with some Ryes and Scotches! I love your shorts but enjoy the long form too!
Blinds are fun, Lol! I also did a blind on some BiB bottles a while back & bardstown origins green won the top stop. WSR for me is just trash, thin & ethanol forward. That rebel 100 is something else. I tried the rebel 80 & liked it so I might have to get a bottle of that 100.
Maybe go with the MM 101 to get most around the same proof point next time. I even like the 101 over their cask strength but like the 46 cask better than the 101 but only a little bit more. And the Bardstown is just a great line I love their origins series. Great job. Enjoy!!
Great video man! My money was on bardstown. Glad to see SR scoring low, I got a bottle for $35 because of the weller hype and have been super unimpressed. I wouldn’t ever get another, so many better for less. Keep it up 👍🏻
Great video! Can't wait to try some Bardstown, just wish i could get them where I live. Not surprised SR and Makers were last in that line up but I was surprised Rebel ranked that high. Guess I need to pick one up 🥃🥃
That Bardstown Origins BIB is a great bottle…. The Weller Reserve is my next favorite and for its price now at $45 for a big bottle it’s a great one to have on hand. Garrison Bros BIB is just funky and not a fan.. Still haven’t tried Rebel 100 🤦🏻
Love your videos man! Just started getting into bourbons and I always look to your channel to see what to keep my eye out for. Great stuff 👍🏻
Thank you!! Thanks for subscribing! 👍🥃
Rebel reserve 100 proof is great for $30 here in Chicago
Use black glencarins. Also, do a double blind. Have someone pick the bottles for the blind for you. That way it’s a true sensory judgement.
Agreed, but I would have know this Garrison Brothers out of any wheater I have.
Pull the Bardstown into another round against Larceny, Green River, Bernheim, and Old Elk!
Sounds like a solid idea!!
I was just gonna say, do a round robin tourney, maybe top two move on out of every 6 way wheaters.
Throw Willett Pot Still Reserve in there too, it’s been a wheated bourbon for a few years now so it’s no longer super terror bad.
That would be a tough blind. I like it.
Old elk is way over rated
No Bardstown in Oregon that I've at least not seen. I pretty much refuse to buy in Washington.

Commenting to boost algorithm. This channel is in my top 3 that I watch here on the tube
Wow! Thank you! 👍🥃🥃
You turned me on to Rebel 100 and it's now a staple of mine! $21.99 here in Northern Virginia, best bang for your buck around here.
I kept seeing it but hadn’t heard anyone mention it yet. I’m going to grab a bottle. I’m in northern VA.
Thanks 😋
Rebel 100 has become my favorite $20 bourbon. Some wheaters to me come off as too grassy or earthy like Larceny.
I've done blinds myself on that Rebel and it's always done surprisingly well! Started out with a 750 and ended up scoring a handle for like $27 at ABC. Best wheater value out there!
I would love to host a blind at my store. A lot of fun.
Why don't you?

That's definitely not a fair comparison!

I would have included the Larceny, but I didn't realize I was out of it! 🤣
You should blind your favorite Wheated Bourbons from different states..
Great content!
Thank you! 🥃
10 years into the bourbon journey, I now get a lot of that wheat "funk" on the palate that I didn't used to get. I now prefer rye bourbons.
🤣
This was great! 🥳👍
Thank you! 😁
Love blinds. I wonder where Green River Wheated would have finished. 🥃
Sr and green river would tie, I can't tell the difference
Likewise
Can't keep the Green River wheated on my shelf. I ask for at least two cases a week but just get the one.
I've only had the Weller and the Maker's mark. I'm glad I didnt pay more than MSRP for my Weller SR, its pretty boring IMO. not worth the hype. Great Blind. I'm gonna hunt down that Rebel 100.
Blinds are fun to watch. Nice theme with this one 🥃
I've been getting into wheated for the last 2 years. I love the Bardstown BIB I have Makers and Rebel. I prefer the Makers to the Rebel. I'd be hard pressed to pick between the Bardstown and Larceny. Larceny got me into the wheat category.
Would you do a video on 4 grain whiskey.
Oh! 4 Grain would be interesting. More of these are coming in 2024!
@@whiskeybonded I want to try the Penelope 4 grain.🤔🥃

Me too!! Damn blinds. 😒🤣
@@whiskeybonded 😂😂
Happy you included Garrison Brothers in this. It often gets slept on because of its price.
Honestly $80+ is cost prohibitive. 1792 at $25 best damned deal I know of especially for a night of whiskey drinking or sharing. My bottle of Hibiki was gone in 3 nights, but at $80 I’m hesitant to replace.
Old elk wheated is best I’ve had yet (just getting into bourbon)
Just getting into wheated and would love to see more videos like this! Same with some Ryes and Scotches! I love your shorts but enjoy the long form too!
Thank you!! We're doing more long content in 2024
I hear that King's family wheated is outstanding
Idk if u can get it where u r (think they r expanding distribution) but would be interested 2 c where green river wheated would fall here
Oh, that's a good one!! That's a solid Wheated Bourbon for sure!
Great review!
I have skipped out on too many rebel 100's. I will have to snag one now. Thanks!
Great blind! Bardstown doesn’t distribute up here in New England yet, so I guess I know what I’m buying when I venture down south for vacation!
Great video! I love the wheaters. I haven’t tried the top three in your blind. Setting my sights on doing so soon!
Nice blind test. Proving, once again that price isn't everything! Thanks for posting!
