Just recently got into bourbons and so far wild turkey 101 is my favorite! And best value too!

Would love to see Old Forester 100 in the mix! My favorite of the segment at $23.

I've been stuck on Evan Williams Bottled in Bond for several months now! Great bourbon, regardless of the price!

i am an Evan Williams BIB fan. Just bought another 2 bottles today for the 4th weekend. great for mixing in cocktails and great by itself.. and $15 for me. Can't beat it.

If you get it in the 1.75L size, it's evan less. Lowest I can find EW BiB 1.75L is $27.99 which = $12 per 750mL. Guessing it's less for you, if the 750mL bottle is $15? Cheers!

They totally put EW BiB in 4th just to keep it's price down... I see you!

Evan Williams bottled in bond and not my favorite yuck just kidding is my favorite

Fun video. Old Grand dad, totally underrated and makes a great, I mean great Old Fashioned. I would have loved to see a Benchmark Bonded on the list.

When I was first getting into whiskey and discovered I preferred the complexity and diversity of scotch to bourbon, the one bourbon that did leave me with a better than average impression was Wild Turkey 101.

Sara, you should be a distiller at a major label. You are a great flavor profiler.

I really appreciate your format, thoughts, and general fun when reviewing these bottles. WT 101 would likely be my number one in this line up. Cheers!

OGB Bonded is my daily. Love it.

WT101 is my favorite daily bourbon hands down. Great video guys, cheers!

Rewatching, and enjoying as always. I'm all about these high quality 100 proofers that are always there for us. And now I shall contemplate the irony of ECBP being constantly available everywhere in Oregon at never more than $59.99 while it's hard to find in literally Kentucky. What a world we live in. ;-)

Thank you for bringing forth a full selection of choices. Very much enjoy you guys .

Great review guys! I was surprised by your results for sure. I'm a big WT101 fan and it's nice to see it held it's own amazingly well. The EW BIB was another I enjoyed too, but for me the WT was always a bit better. Liked that there were more flavor notes vs the EW, which was great just didn't seem as complex. That Old Grandad was totally not on my radar at all! I actually dismissed it for some reason as not a quality bourbon, man was I wrong lol. Need to get it now for sure!

I'm a Wild Turkey guy..but thanks to you both for turning me on to the Evan Williams love it

Another very entertaining, surprising, and informative flight fight. On top of that, thanks for the Math lesson on Venn diagrams and the Sciency stuff about tasting with your nose plugged. Always learning from you guys. Cheers from Canada🇨🇦🥃

What a great review of affordable bourbons. I haven't yet tried Early Times yet, but the rest are on my buy list. These are affordable and you don't have to feel guilty about buying something too expensive and still pay your bills and enjoy something nice. Good review guys!

Chad and Sarah, you guys are great together. Love this flight and the only one I haven't had yet is the Early Times and it's not down here in South Florida yet. Keep up the great work! Cheers!🤙

Great video. That's a super solid lineup! I haven't had Early Times yet, but those other three are staples in my cabinet. WT 101 in particular is a fave. Cheers guys!

Fantastic video. Exactly what I needed today.

I keep telling my wife I need more bottles of whiskey for science but it doesn't always work

In my opinion, this is one of the best KZread channels on the topic of bourbon. The video production is very good, and the hosts are great too. It's my "go-to" bourbon channel. And, no, I'm not related to either of them. lol Keep up the good work, Chad and Sara!!

I know this was 2 yrs ago but just saw it for the first time and really enjoyed this video. Glad to see some good “bargain” picks. 👍👍

Thanks for the video guys! Great Flight Fight! I am happy that I can actually find 3 out of 4 of these here in 🇨🇦. Hopefully the ET BiB will make it to us here soon!

Great Flight Fight! WT and ET are my favorite dailies! The other 2 do not suck!

Great flight fight! Can't wait for Early Times to get into my area. Funny how in college Turkey was a crappy mixer, not I LOVE it. I wasn't a huge fan of Jim Beam BIB.

WT101 is the GOAT!!!!

Awesome job, guys...thanks for doing this

Entertaining, informative, and concise. Excellent choices of bourbon in this flight. This is why I subscribe to this channel.

I haven't been able to find early times, but the other 3 are the core of my bourbon selection. I like each and my preference depends on what flavor I'm looking for. And you can't beat the price of these (except for OGD BiB, which is beaten by OGD 114 for just $3 more!).

Great flight. Love all these bottles.

Great video, thank you for showing the bottles.

Great review you two, thanks. You both picked Early Times within your top 2, I've never heard of it, gotta try a bottle.

Great choices. Well thought out!

Awesome! You should do another one of these with some more 100/bonded choices.

So interesting how EW Bib came in last here but in 2nd place in the 64 under $30 tournament. Thanks for the content.

What a great video for these weird - hard times, this was needed, cool, and super well made! Stuff 🖖 that is available (except Early Times in my area ;)!!! Thanks, guys!!! Keep-m coming please and stay safe!! Cheers🥃🎸🦉✨

King Jack’D - Brothers Of The Dram Thanks!

I've had a couple bottles of Rebel Yell 100, on your recommendation. Great value at around $18!

Crazy... definitely all good, but I would have picked EW Bonded No.1... one of my favorite for any price. I love both WT 101 and OGD. All are staples on my cart, and better than many bottles I’ve picked up for $50 or more.

@ 6:57 you can tell that when he jokingly says "supposably" that it's a pet peeve of hers. As it is mine. This review and comparison is entertaining.

That's freaky. I had JUST purchased the Evan Williams bottled in bond this afternoon based on one of your blind tastings and then I see this video come up a few hours later. Also, love the Venn diagram 👍 ETA... Just got to the results in your vid. Darn it...

If Old Forester 100 didn't even make top 4 I guess I really do still need to try the Evan Williams bottled in bond.

EW BiB and WT 101 are both high quality affordable whiskeys. You can't go wrong with either one.

Early Times BIB is the best value in under $30 whiskey!

You guys hit the mark... Old Grand Dad bib you have to stoop low to get it off the shelf ..

Yup, I cannot find Early Times in San Francisco Bay Area. Can I suggest Old Forrester 100 proof?

Great video, love the Venn diagram! Keep up the good work 👍

101 is legit solid bourbon. Many of my friends houses are beam houses. Mine is a 101 house. Quality.

I have some bottles to try. I already love the EW bib.

Right off the bat! Kentucky Hug ( 3:52 ) LOL! (I watch too much 'It's Bourbon Night"). Ha.

Great review! Now I'm going to have to pick up Early Times! We just did. LARCENY review, lover it so much(regina)

I recently found Evans 100 proof. It sits well on my palette. Thanks for the video.. I’ll look into these others to see how they tase.

Great video. Although, I often wonder what we'd hear if people thought they were testing four different bourbons, and it was really just the same bourbon poured in four cups. I'd like to hear those comments, because I suspect the power of the mind would enter in, and we would end up hearing a lot of distinct comments about each "different" one.

101 is my cheap bourbon of choice. Good job guys!

It's a toss up for me between EW BIB and WT 101. Both are just so good for the money and can walk into any store any time and see them. Have yet to see early times in my area.

Early Times BIB has become my favorite go-to casual sipper. Not a bad choice in the lineup, but given an option for just one, I’d go with the ET. But then Turkey. Or EW....best just to grab them all.

In that price range Ezra Brooks sour mash is one of my favorites.

As you said...such a great line up! I felt so stupid, because I just commented on the Patreon the other day that you should do this line up...and obviously, you already had...insert sheepish look here. BTW - OGD, Yeah you know me!

Been in my burbon journey for a few months and I'm getting into the groove of taking my time at tasting. The EW bib has an aftertaste of that peanut hull to me. It's a good drink but not like top 3 for me. So far, WT 101 is #1 for me. Haven't tried ET bib but the original one was ok as a beginner but I'm wanting a bit more. So I'm on the hunt...

I'm kinda shocked by how well the ET did. Expected WT101 and OGD to do well. Never tried the EW. Good video.

Haven't had the Early Times, but I'd go for WT in 1st, OGD in 2nd, and EW in 3rd.

Like others have stated, I too am on a bottled in bond kick and I think Henry McKenna 10yo is a decent value

Dang bro, she couldn't even let you have this. I feel ya

Y'all are in proof hound denial. Love the videos.

Richard B Oh we don’t deny it haha :)

I think I would pick the Early Times BiB first in this lineup. I've taken it to some tastings with very experienced pros and it's impressed. That said, I'm going on vacation tomorrow and packing a handle of Evan Williams BiB.

EW Never gets the love it deserves.

I initially had a gripe with a couple of your choices for this Venn Diagram flight fight, but I think you can repeat this with an entirely different set of four bourbons. I thought Rebel Yell 100, Old Forester 100, and Jim Beam Bonded could all be included in this lineup. So obviously next week you have to choose those 3 and add a 4th. It is the way.

We need a Round 2 with Old Forester 100.

Based on my experience (all four of these bottles have been on my shelf) I'd rank them the same as Chad. Wild Turkey 101 is flat out one of the best deals in bourbon and you can get it any where. It gets over looked almost BECAUSE you can get it anywhere. Early Times BIB can be hard to find but if you just did a value comparison, it is a 1b to WT101's 1a for value. Old Grand-Dad and EW BIB leave something to be desired.

I entirely agree with you, though I do think that Evan Williams BIB gets much better when the bottle is half full. And no, I don’t mean to say it gets better as I get wasted, just as it “opens up.”

old forester 100 1.75 = $34.97 at walmart here in arizona. hard to beat for me but loved the video ! actually WT 101 is my favorite.stay safe amiga and amigo.

Oh no. Last thing we need is more attention on OGD, Early Times and EW. OGD can be hard to find already in North Texas. OGD is my favorite of these.

Dammit with the Early Times BiB again. Lol. One day it will hit CA. Another great episode.

I would like to see you guys give a quick guess right after the first sip, before the break and revisit then rank. Just a suggestion. Love the show

Interesting, wt101 didn't even make it to the under $30 finals, but ev bib did and did well in it, shows how taste changes day to day. I've had one bottle I thought was really bad one week and then loved it the next week, really made me think. They all sound delicious, I need to see if I can track down a old grand dad bib and early times bib.

But alas, the Brown-Forman Early Times BIB is but a memory (or almost a memory) since the ET label has been sold to Sazerac. What a bummer!

I've found a local grocery store that somehow manages to get and keep some of the highly desirable stuff on the shelf with no markup. It's kind of a gourmet store, and I might be the only one buying the stuff. They still have ECBP C919 on the shelf, and just put out the A120 today. $56 before tax (which in this state is ridiculous). They also have multiple bottles of Blantons.

Early Times is #1 out of these for me by far. In 2nd place would be OGD, followed by WT 101. I’ve never tried EW, and now I know I never need to.

Rebel Yell 100 is another bourbon I would put in this category if it's available in your area. Really good for around $20.

WT 101 is my every day go to

I would like to see Johnny Drum 100 proof. I don't know why but I root for underdogs. I dig Willett juice. Love Noah's Mill and the Family reserve Eyes.

I saw a bottle of Early Times BiB last weekend, I guess I should have picked it up. Didn't know it was so hard to find.

Chad came out on top in this flight...WT101 FTW!

Been drinking the Evan Williams Bottled In Bond for awhile now. Need to try Wild Turkey 🦃 101

Aw, you definitely should've included Old Forrester 100 in this! I like it more than WT, EW, & OG; never tried ET.

WT 101 definitely worth a few bucks more than the 81 from college days. It is one of my daily drinkers and mixers. WT Russell's Reserve Single Barrel non chill filtered or Rare Breed when I want take it up a notch.

Just found ONE ET IN Oregon. I like it a lot

Can’t find Early Times BIB anywhere around me. Ugh. I am though a BIG fan of EW BIB

My 4 go to bourbons I always have around just because the value can’t be beat E.W. BIB ,Wild Turkey 101,Old Forester 100, and Early Times BIB don’t get me I’ll wrong I have other favorites for much more money but these are all a 100+ proof and average about 20 bucks a piece on average great whiskey for the price

I think I'd put Jim Beam Bonded in that category as well. Haven't tried ET or OGD yet, but I do enjoy the other two quite a bit.

Tim West Yeah it would fit for sure. JB Bonded is about $22 in our area so it would have been the only one over $20 (adjusting the ET down to a 750ml cost) but yeah it could have fit into this flight nicely. We think it’s a great value for what you get.

Wild Turkey 101, The preferred bourbon of Boyd Crowder.

I love your reviews! Last week I replaced EW 1783 as my super-budget bourbon sipper with EW BIB. and since EW BIB is so cheap, I will stop using Black Velvet when mixing. I have about 10 bourbons currently (range from EW to $42 in price) and I like them all, but for the price, (so far) nothing beats Evan BIB. There are more expensive bourbons I really like, but how to do you beat $20 for a handle? I have not tried Early Times BIB yet, but a lot of people like it better than Evan. I will have to buy a bottle and try it.

Old grandad 114 is 25$ and the variety I keep on hand. Early times bib is impossible to find. Wt101 my favorite low price with EW bib tied with Og.
