The Wild Turkey family of bourbons are great. I will gladly take their stuff over most allocated bottles any day. There are so many great picks on the shelves, it really isn’t worth the hassle to chase the allocated stuff.

Your videos are so well done and informative, Jason. This month will mark the 1-year anniversary of my bourbon journey and you have really helped me with my picks.

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. It's been very educational. I'll be trying out these great bourbons. Thank you.

Great list! I have had most of this list and I 100% agree with you that they will stand up to the more expensive stuff.

Perfect timely video for me Jason. I’ve been trying to locate the “hard to find” when I don’t even have the “easy to find” good whiskeys!

Great video. It’s so easy to get caught up in the hype for certain allocated and hard to find bottles, this video shows why you shouldn’t, very useful. Loving the channel, the balance of history, tasting notes and conclusions is perfect 👌🏻

This is fantastic. This is exactly where I'm at in building my bourbon collection. I can't tell you how many of these I've seen on the shelves and not given any thought to trying. Thanks for the tips!

Great video, especially for folks in control states. I love the JDSBBP pick, it really is amazing and is my go to when ECBP and Stagg Jr. are hard to come by (especially the latter). Thanks for the great content!

I really appreciate your time spent on pointing out these fine bourbons.

You listed some of my all-time favorites! Big fan of OGD, Big fan of Four Roses, and my regular store knows to keep EVERY Wild Turkey stocked for me. Great video, and great choices!

Great review as always! I picked up a 1792 barrel proof store pick tonight...good stuff! Also a big fan of the Russell's Reserve and Rare Breed. Glad to see you spread the word that enjoying bourbon doesn't mean selling a kidney to afford it! 😎

“Discovered” Rare Breed a couple months ago-already on my third bottle. My new favorite everyday sipper.

Awesome list Jay!!! I've been eyeing that Woodford double oaked for some time now. And you helped me make my decision. Going now😂😂 Thanks Jay!!!

Went back to this vid again after a few months of building my collection and taste testing. In this time of what seems like bourbon mania, going after value is for me, as a longtime bourbon fan and sipper, the way to go. The recommendations have held up very very well.

The high proof bourbons were difficult for me to start with with but now that I've been around the block I can say/recommend them as the best. Rare breed, Woodford double oak, and knob creek are cream of the crop and impossible to beat on value and taste.

Just got my first Russell's Reserve single barrel @ $63 at ABC here in Florida. I've never spent that much money on a 750 ml bottle of bourbon being perfectly fine with Evan Williams bottle and bond 100 proof. The long finish on this Wild Turkey product makes it worth the money, I really like it.

Applause! What a big list for people to use, awesome stuff. Gem of a channel for the bourbon/whiskey folks

Couldn’t agree more, especially regarding Turkey and KC. Cheers Jason!

Love your reviews on these Bourbon's. Looks like I'm going Bourbon shopping today! Drums and Bourbon! Doesn't get much better than that!

Great list!! I was kinda surprised to see Woodford Double Oaked on this list, because I work at a big chain liquor store and that is impossible to keep on the shelves. You definitely included a lot of my faves so that makes me feel like I might know what I’m doing.

Love this video. I have not had all of these, but the ones I have, I would agree. Great Bourbon, descent prices and should be on everyone's shelf. Cheers!

Good selections. Definitely some that I have and keep on the shelf. Coopers was a recent find myself and to your point a great little bourbon. Bowman another great pick. And you can’t go wrong with the Knobb Creek. Love Knobb in an Old Fashion as well as a sipper.

Picked up another bottle of JD SBBP this morning. Favorite whiskey to date!

Whoa! Love this view of the collection! Absolutely amazing. Can't wait for the room tour. Drool

Of all the videos I have watched in the last 6 months, I think this information is the most valuable to date! I agree 100% about all the allocated stuff people chase vs what you have provided here, especially the BTAC special allocations. Don’t get me wrong, I love BTAC, but the hype in the marketplace has caused literal hysteria with regards to pricing! Great work!

Nice to see you presented a number of my favorites! I always try and have bottles of OG 114, Four Roses Small Batch Select, and Woodford Double Oaked. Have a nice Remus barrel pick on hand currently. I'll definitely be trying some of the others you presented! I wasn't initially impressed with Wilderness Trail when it launched, so the added time might be what it needed. Met the master distiller before launch and was impressed with his philosophy. I'll give it another try.

Jason, great topic and bottles. Like you say, so many of us get caught up in the hype and glamour of the high priced spreads, overlooking these pours. FYI, on the JDSBBP, noticed they also offer in a 375 ml if people want a smaller sampler to try out. Wish more bottlers would do that!! CHEERS!

Never bought or liked any JD product until this. It opened my eyes to high proof whiskey. The banana note is the only thing that keeps this from being a regular sipper for me. But appreciate it nonetheless!

I won the day this week and took your advice on the JDBP. Just can’t argue on that one. Great video, one of my all time favorites. Awesome advice!

I just found this channel and information like this is GOLD! Thanks!

Great List! Already have a few on my shelf but looking forward to adding new ones. Almost bought Remus the other day now I'm regretting not getting it. Spot on with the Jack Daniels. One whiskey that is still young and I think underrated is New Riff...great stuff!

Thank you Jason! So much I need to buy and continue to grow in my bourbon experience. Cheers!

Great pics. I haven't had all of them, but totally love the Wilderness Trail, Belle Meade Reserve, Knob Creek SB and Wild Turkey. Thanks!

Jason, really enjoyed this video, I am a fan of your site. Thanks for your objective breakdown of everything whiskey. Go Bucks!!

Being a Virginia boy, John J Bowman is one of my daily drinkers. Love the stuff. So glad you like it. Funny thing is, I was thinking about sending you a bottle to try. Ha! Guess you don't need it.

Love the spirit of this video brother. This year I feel like I graduated from a noob looking for those rare bottles to someone more experienced Who knows how to find a good $20 bottled in bond that drinks just as good 👍

Awesome video man! So many great underrated bottles. Turkey FTMFW! OGD, JD SiB are some more of my favorites. Gonna have to track down the ones I haven't had.

Great video Jason! You should feel proud that it is because of videos like this one that my collection looks a lot like the bottles in this video. You have definitely influenced my collection and my knowledge of whiskey. Cheers 🥃🥃 brother!

Hi David. I've told a couple newbies here that you should give Old Forester 100 proof a try. It's low risk at about $20 to $25 and most people think it's bottom shelf because it has a screw cap and a low price but it's my favorite whiskey. If you need further proof, look up the 2020 San Francisco Spirit Awards and see that it won double-gold in a field where it was competing against whiskies 10x the price. Can't recommend it enough.

Great job!! I love finding great quality at value prices.

I used to hate wt101. Now it's always in my collection along with other wild turkey products. I'm going to get around to trying that wilderness trail bourbon. Awesome video as always.

right on point with these selections. You introduced two new items to me so far that....CHEERS! John J. Bowman and Coopers Craft...never heard of them so I'll see if i can locate a bottle.

Just killed a 1792 Small Batch bottle, and yesterday picked up two 1792 Full Proof store picks!! Great video, Jason.

Refreshing to watch a bourbon video where I’ve actually tasted most of the bourbons. Too many videos out there on unicorns I’ll never buy. Really like the rare breed and just got my hands on the rye that I haven’t opened yet. Same with the WR double oak, haven’t open it yet. I’m new to bourbon, less than a year so I’m always looking for different profiles. One thing I’ve realized is I don’t care much for wheated bourbons like Larceny or Makers. Your videos are entertaining and very informative without going over the top like some others that are more Barnum and Bailey. Keep it up.

NAILED this one. Got a bottle today and just had a few sips.. Way different than regular JD. Thanks again for this one.

Great job sir, I have most of these and agree with you 100%!

one of the best reviews and videos i've ever seen on the subject of overlooked whiskeys

Spot on with the Wilderness rye. The bourbons need time. Great video and agree 💯

Great video and content and great to see your experience and conviction. Thank you!

I love videos like this one as well. Bourbon to me, is something that I sit down and relax with. I’m not trying to impress anyone. So really good inexpensive bourbons will allow me to expand my collection more easily. Wild Turkey 101, Evan Williams Bottled In Bond and Old Forrester 92 are examples of these types. I love OGD 114 as a mixer. Haven’t tried Woodford Double Oaked, but I really want to..Thank you for all of you great content.

Such a quality channel...i been bingeing all his vidjas

Great video! Love the recommendations. Ironically, people are now waiting in line at one of my local liquor stores for the JDSBBP. Luckily I can still find it down the road in a smaller store, but it's catching on for sure. Totally agree on the Four Roses SBS as well--an amazing value for $59.99 (and sometimes I can even find it a little cheaper). Cheers buddy!

Jason, you are so right I picked up a bottle of JD barrel prof @ 132 I just love it. Rare breed is amazing as well

The entire Old Grandad lineup is probably one of my favorite bourbons. The friend who got me into bourbon gifted me a bottle of the regular OGD 80proof and that’s what got me down the bourbon rabbit hole. The 114 is the best value in bourbon without question!

If you haven't tried it, Old Forester 100 Proof is amazing for the price. It's only $20-25 and most people are turned off by the low price plus the screw cap, but OF100 won double-gold at the SanFran Spirit Awards this year. Best value around, IMHO, and very underrated.

Always can rely on solid advice from Jason C… keep up the great work… you hit my favorites - woodford double oak, Russell’s 10 year reserve, wild turkey 101…the dude knows his bourbon.

Fantastic List, still looking for Remus in my area but picked up a bottle of the John J Bowman last week and it's amazing.

What a great list. Can’t wait to put them on my list and even more....my shelf.

Love this ❤ This gal likes her whiskey. I have a good few of these including 1792 and J Bowman. Great stuff. Now I have a list of more to get.😊

Rare Breed is a sleeper !! "smooth" because idk anything about notes and taste but that vanilla caramel at the start is AMAZING

I'm very new to the bourbon game, but I'm learning a lot and I'm getting a lot affordable options! The rye video is great also, can't wait to try Pikesville Rye!

I am just beginning to try bourbons. Thanks for the information. I especially like your taste descriptions (pancakes and maple syrup)😋

I love how he explains how a whiskey tastes by comparing it to food or desserts it tastes a lot like. That's a great palate. I love whiskey but haven't drank it enough to notice so many different flavors, especially really good whiskey and never would have thought it could have so many delicious flavors. This guy has helped to learn a lot about whiskey and given me a love and passion for whiskey, liquor and alcohol in general, much more than I already had!

Great episode. Love it even if it means some things will become harder to find.

Hey Jason, was just in Kentucky last week and Brian at Justin’s HOB turned me onto Cooper’s craft 100 proof. Very nice. Will definitely add more to my shelf.

Wild Turkey is always reliable. Also glad to see some love for 1792, even though it's hard to find anything other than the small batch here. I actually had a friend try a few barrel proofers in a blind flight. His ranking was 1792>ECBP>Booker's>Old Ezra

Great job and I agree with most your comments. I just finished a bottle of Coopers recent with my wife and have moved on to a bottle of Russels 10 year. Both delicious for the price. I had to buy a bottle of horsey Blantons when we were at the Buffalo Trace distillery as they dumped it that day and it was available. We will see what we like better.
