Just plain old Buffalo Trace is such a value. It hits all of the bourbon notes and it’s just good whiskey. Definitely A.

Great concept and video! Would love to see tiered lists including whiskeys from different distilleries of a similar price range or type (small batch, single barrels, barrel proofs, etc.).

Hugely fun, and I agree with the ones I've been able to try. Just a word on Blanton's - thanks for giving it your honest take, rather than letting all the bad press influence you. Yeah it can be nuts to find - I took your advice and befriended the manager of a local liquor store - she will hold a bottle for me at RETAIL when she gets it, which is awesome. Should be in the next couple weeks. But this bourbon is special to me. My only son passed away 10 years ago in July and I drank most of the first bottle of Blanton's I ever received trying to numb that reality. I make sure to have a bottle every July to open in memory. Still one of my absolute favs. So this segment had a little extra meaning. Thanks for your great videos.

f*%#ing ouch George. I will be thinking of you this coming July sir, and I will toast to you and your son as well buddy.

I really like these Tier List videos you guys do. Particularly, I like how you balance the quality of the whiskey with price & availability. For what it's worth, some constructive criticism I have would be to add some inset text and/or blow up images of each label so that it's easier for us to identify specifically which whiskey's you are referring to. Thank you guys for being you!

Very cool concept. Love to see more like this when you have more ink. This can go in so many directions. Great idea, keep the content coming gentlemen.

So much fun to watch. Great chemistry, and I appreciate the banter.

Good video guys!! Really love this style of rankings, should definitely do it again!

I enjoy this video so much, and I'm not 3 minutes into it! The issue of running out of ink, and trying to put EH Taylor between 2 tiers is the greatest start to a list video ever (and possibly why all the others I've seen were done digitally). Please do more of these in the future.

This is a great way to orient myself to each distillery, their products and which ones I should keep an eye out for. The little side notes about how each whiskey connects to others in the lineup is really helpful as well. Please do one for each of the major whiskey producers!

Old Forester for sure. That’d be interesting.

Thanks for the video guys - I thought the tier format was great and think it would be fun in a lot of other formats. I saw someone else suggest an Old Forester Tier list (totally agree would be awesome) or even doing categories (barrel proof bourbons under $70, for example) would be cool too. Cheers

Congratulations, boys, for the first time in my life I followed the link in the description for your ad. 60 second cocktails was actually fantastic and kinda exactly what I'm looking for to get my wife into bourbon.

awesome!! loved it your honest feedback always Appreciated!! Because of you guys bought my first bottle of Old forester, i have converted to team old forester!

I thoroughly enjoyed this video my dudes. Would love to see more in this style! Awesome content as always. See you next Tuesday.. BJ's for life!!

New whiskey drinker here. Been watching you guys for a bit now and it got me to go out and try whiskey. Just did an Old Forester tasting last night. It’s really interesting to taste the difference in whiskey from the same maker. Doing a tasting like that really opened my eyes to different whiskeys and what I like. Keep this up and I’ll keep watching.

This was a great idea (shaking our heads why we didn't think of it lol). Great job as always. Cheers and Rock On!

Love it, thanks! Bring more coming with other distilleries.

I finally scored some Stagg Jr this year, and I suddenly understand the hype. At MSRP easily the best value I've ever had and delicious, will end up going head to head with a lot of the best bourbon's I've had this year. Never had Stagg Senior or EH Taylor. +1 for more of these videos for other distilleries.

Awesome video would love to see more of them!

Great video! Only rating change is make is to move both A-tiers down to Cs (yep). Love the idea and can’t wait to see more of these from other distilleries.

Tier list is a great concept for the channel, but I think you have to do the whole line for it to work properly. I know you had printer trouble, but what about AA, benchmark, the kosher line, EHBP, etc?

I’m Glad I’ve finally found an honest no Bull rating video. Keep up the good work & YES please make more of these types videos 👍

Great job, cool idea, the possibilities for this are endless. Keep the good work up, Cheers.

I disagree with all 3, as I didn't even like Eagle's palate but Buffalo was smooth but sub par all around, but I loved the flavor and finish of Blanton's. That's why ranking lists that only say what's good and what ain't are dumb because everyone has a different taste.

I really love this format! The visuals are extremely helpful (get that printer working, Dan). ;)

This is a GREAT format!!! Please, do more of these!!!! Thanks for the ratings! HOWEVER, if a bottle gets beat EVERYTIME buy a tier, it CANNOT be the same tier... Sorry, just true facts there.

I like this, keep it comin fellas! Also once you have done 4 iterations you should do a blind of all the S tier

I loved this! My recommendation is to use the range more. It seemed like you both had some that were b+ or a-, etc... Either put them in that way (like Elmer) or use D & E to diffentiate them more. That's why B is overloaded.

Love the tier listings and would love to see more guys!!

YEAAASS!! Do this again. Buffalo Trace is definitely an easy brand to do this on. I would challenge you guys to do this tier on distilleries who blend the best MGP juice.

Awesome video idea, i'd love to see more of them. How about some High West ranking?

Great idea and video, look forward to others

I like these comparisons, keep it up!👍

Like the tier system. Like the difference of opnion on ranking people have different likes. some may like s Sean's flavor profile some may like a Savants flavor profile

Great video! I’m shocked I didn’t see Weller on the board. I thought weller was made at BT. Keep up the great work!

Earlier this year I started spending much more time comparing bourbons within families like this making this maybe my favorite video of yalls so far.

This seems like an interesting video. I can’t wait for the full English version.

New to whiskey new to your channel and love all of it! Have you done state comparisons? Like this listing but ranking like all of the small whiskey distillers in Minnesota for example (BentBrew, Tattersall, Rockfilter , Twin Spirit etc….)? If you have, sorry new to your channel and still binging the content.

Love this kind of video! It would be super helpful for you to at least do the big distilleries because then I would know who makes what

Love this video, would like to see more like it!

This is why you guys are one of the best channels on KZread, not afraid to switch it up on the videos with creative ideas

Yes, definitely do more of these. Solid approach

Enjoyed this segment. Keep them coming. You did do the easy one first though, with Buffalo Trace. I'm not used to the tier thing though, still some more context would be great. Seemed like a lot in just a few categories. Maybe it will be different with other distilleries. I figured you would have Benchmark in the D's.

Love the video. DO more please. Blantons and your ranking just set the taters into overdrive.

Love these Tier List videos! Will you keep doing these!? Do Old Forester!!

Great idea for a video. I would love to see more covered from a distillery and to see Heaven Hill up next

Love this idea. Keep it coming. Cheers!

I'm here in Texas and hear you guys talk prices is blowing my mind 🤯 I get Buffalo Trace here for $22 but Eagle Rare is $95-$120 if you can find it, Stagg is like $185 I've only seen it once and E.H Taylor forget about it never even seen one. Looks like I need to take a road trip🤔

Love this video. Where would EH Taylor Barrel Proof rank?

I liked the tier list. How you did it is just fine. Rate within distiller works for me. It is easier for me to remember than if you tiered by type or style. The tier works because I can see where you value one bottle against ones that I have actually enjoyed. For instance. I have not had any of the the Stagg. I can benchmark that against the Taylor and Eagle Rare which I have a lot of experience with. For me the Taylor was a B considering its price.

Love these. Should do more of them and include EHTBP and such.
