Best Bourbons Under $30 - A Blind Flight Challenge
21 Blind Flights of 64 Bourbons and here we are! After a Blind Fight of 5 Semi-Final winners, we will crown the Best Bourbon for Under $30! In this flight we have David Nicholson 1843, Evan Williams Bottled In Bond, Buffalo Trace, Evan Williams Single Barrel, and Knob Creek Small Batch.
Rules we followed to get our 64 Bourbons:
* The Bourbon had to be under $30 before tax.
* Prices were taken from the central Kentucky area.
* All Bourbons had to be generally available. In other words, if you could not find it after walking into 3 major stores, it was not eligible.
* All Bourbons had to be considered Bourbons by the letter of the law, so no finished or non-straight blended whiskies.
All Flights were randomly assigned using Random.org
This Flight features 5 Bourbons because we decided to include both winners from a semi-final round where we picked different 1st place Bourbons.

I’ve enjoyed this entire playlist in one sitting. In my opinion, your 64 bourbons under $30 tournament is far more entertaining than the NCAA basketball tournaments.
How could anyone make it through all this and not subscribe? These two are knowledgeable and adorable. Great project. Thanks for all the hard work, drinking.
Bourbon for breakfast would be waffles top with pulled pork and bourbon maple syrup. Yes that is something I have actually made because I’m a chef who loves bourbon…
Sara’s “head shake” at
Considering Knob Creek is two and a half times the price of EWBiB in a 1.75 liter, it looks like EWBiB is the obvious winner. Let's hope the price doesn't jump up.
101, EW BIB and OGD 114 are my bargain jams!
“There are no bad bourbons, only better bourbons.”
Two things. First, it shows that our taste buds will vary from week to week and even day to day. Second, in my own blind tasting EW 100 BiB came out clearly ahead of the more expensive EW Single Barrel. It is real! Everyone go out today and buy 4 or 6 1.75L jugs of EW100 BiB, it really is that good! Down in Texas it is $22 for the big jug.
I love Evan Williams BiB, such a hidden gem, great quality and a great value. That is until the youtube whiskey community makes it expensive...
I recommend everyone go buy 20 bottles of their favorite bourbon and do their own flight test. You know, in the interest of science. Also, thank you guys for doing this!
Knob Creek 9 and Evan Williams Bottled In Bond are at opposite sides of the price spectrum. The EW BiB is around 15 bucks while the Knob Creek Small Batch is over 45 dollars now. At the over 40 dollar price point, you are entering into the single barrel territory, but the competition is much more intense and you are looking at Eagle Rare, Rare Breed, Russell's Reserve, Smoke Wagon, and a whole host of craft style whiskeys while facing the Old Forester line up as well. Thanks for the blind test. I did expect the Buffalo Trace to not do as well even though it is a popular bottle that's in demand.
"what a weird time to be alive" LOL
I love yalls channel. It rarely teaches us anything about whiskey. But it's fun to see you to steer off subject so often and just haveing a good time. It reminds me of being in class with the girl I liked and us getting put on the same project. Ofcorse that girl is now my wife lol! But it reminds me of those days lol!
Wild Turkey 101 is still my winner
I found EW BIB a year and half ago! Great Bourbon, really affordable, hope it stays that way!
First Evan Williams BiB I bought was not good. The nose was terrible so I thought "I just need to decant this" which helped a little. Bought another bottle for a vanilla extract experiment and that bottle smelled like heaven when i opened it.... A very odd occurrence. I would not expect a lot of variability in EW BiB batches but that's the only thing I can think of.
Well done! Thanks for putting this all together- two of my favorites finished 1-2. Maybe I'm not as unique as my mom said...
I have been waiting FOREVER (it seems) for the finale! Interestingly, my last 3 bourbon purchases have been Buffalo Trace, EW BIB, and now drinking Knob Creek. Next purchase is planned to be Evan BIB. Your taste is impeccable! 😁
We are indeed saying all the things! 😆
Diggin' the "Flight Fights"!!! SHOCKER!!!! Knob Creek pulls it out! For me I would have had to put Elijah Craig Small Batch in this flight but as per usual you two doing bourbon proud! Cannot wait until the next "Fight" Til then keep sippin'
