A Russells Reserve single barrel 10 yr or a WT Rare Breed are right in the 50 to 65 range and hard to beat too. Nice picks Judge.

@davem6735 8 месяцев назад

Agreed! WT Rare Breed Barrel Proof for under 50 bucks is one of my daily sippers. Outstanding whiskey and value.

@yanksrule311 8 месяцев назад

Agreed!

@namrocknamrock371 8 месяцев назад

I was super impressed with the JD Triple Mash as well! It drinks more like a 90 proofer (despite being 100). The nose is soft honey, camomile flowers, and vanilla. It’s a super crushable bottle, and for 35$ I have no regrets!

@greggecas1558 8 месяцев назад

In watched this episode last night and immediately went to my cellar and poured a Knob Creek 12! The last time I poured from this bottle was with some friends around a campfire this past fall. Some of the nicest and most memorable whiskey drinking I can remember. The friends, the setting, the delicious KC12. Thank you, Judge for the gentle suggestion and also for your excellent content. I'm going to look for that JD Triple Mash. Love your channel!

@jimreichel1466 8 месяцев назад

Judge, really nice list. However, I think Still Austin Bourbon, anything from Redwood Empire, Blue Note Crossroads, Bardstown Bourbon Origin BIB (Black Label), and Marker's Mark Private Select are sub $75 bottles that have flavor and just plain taste good. Just my opinion.

@pinkfloyd7572 8 месяцев назад

Sipping some Knob Creek single barrel and watching The Judge. How sweet it is.

@andrettski8686 8 месяцев назад

LOL, my whole collection is $65 and down. I'm waiting for Costco to get Knob 12 in so I can try it. My picks are Trails End 10 yr, Old Forester 1910, JD SB BP, Baker's 7, Michter's US 1. * bottle is Wilderness Trail BiB.(I could list another 10 easily)

@sheepdog8756 8 месяцев назад

The Green River is a solid pick-up, but when it gets a little more age on it, it’s going to be a hitter.

@Reediculous66 8 месяцев назад

OGD 114, OF1920, WT Rare Breed, WR Double Oaked, New Riff SiB, Maker’s Mark CS also very good.

@BradleyBaker 8 месяцев назад

I've seen Buzzard's Roost on the shelf many times and have passed it up and I don't know why. You may have pushed me over the line with this! Good list. And I agree with another listeners recommendation for RR single barrel and Rare Breed.

@chrisk8385 8 месяцев назад

Grabbed a bottle of their Barrel Proof at their shop in Louisville after a tasting...they are producing some great blends.

@conorvaughan3510 8 месяцев назад

This is the first video of yours I see, and I can see why you have your followers. I would add The Bardstown origin series, sheared BiB, high rye bourbon, and Rye are all killer under $70. And can’t forget about the Barrell Foundation!! Thats a mighty fine pour

@BourbonJudge 8 месяцев назад

Excellent add ons

@s.beasley8926 8 месяцев назад

To this list I would add Coopers Craft 100 proof, which is a real sleeper and Chattanooga 111 which is a “see it, buy it.” Not sure what they’re doing at the Chattanooga distillery but they are producing some magical whiskey and they aren’t afraid to experiment. Thank me later. Lol

@BourbonJudge 8 месяцев назад

Coopers yes indeed

@tommccafferty5591 8 месяцев назад

A couple of my favorites. Still Austin Barrel Strength Rye (59% ABV) around $63 plus tax near me in Central Texas, and Driftless Glen single barrel Rye, (48% ABV), around $45 plus tax.

@davidtrianni5763 8 месяцев назад

I had a bottle of that Green River in my hand the other day and put it back on shelf as I wasn’t to sure about it. I guess I’ll have to give it a try now. Cheers!

@renardrobinson7518 8 месяцев назад

Love the JD Triple Mash! Would throw in JD Single Barrel Rye (94 Proof) and Woodford Double Oak in there as well!

@BourbonJudge 8 месяцев назад

Absolutely

@josephgaudette2983 8 месяцев назад

Nice picks and I must agree that the Green River is a great option that's in every store in my area.

@bendavis2967 8 месяцев назад

Spot on with the Knob 12 call Judge! Always a coin toss between that and the SB Knob 9 depending on proof mood. Salute 🥃

@carlmschwarber259 8 месяцев назад

I am a OGD114 fan along with Roulette rye 4yr 100 proof mgp , Isaac Bowman, Scott's cask strength $54 out of Troy ohio, Circle City single barrel $79 but worth every penny. Cheers 🍻

@ncyankee101 8 месяцев назад

I bought a bottle of WW based on your review and very good ratings at distiller. It's not bad but doesn't have the level of dark overripe fruit I am used to getting from PX and Oloroso finishes. IMO Rabbit hole dareringer and Doc Swinson's Alter ego have much more fruit forward profiles. I also like Stranahan's sherry cask although it is not Bourbon, but the profile is very similar.

@swopeti 8 месяцев назад

Just killed a triple mash the other night will be getting a replacement

@blakenaylor1983 8 месяцев назад

I’m intrigued by this list. Going to see if I can find any. Good video.

@ScottW4631 8 месяцев назад

I took your advice judge. I just purchased a bottle of old buzzard bourbon. I got it at $74.99, just under your $75 limit. Looking forward to open it I will let you know how I like it.

@BourbonJudge 8 месяцев назад

Enjoy

@neo57611 8 месяцев назад

Big thanks Judge

@jamesstreet1144 8 месяцев назад

I haven’t slept on any of these. I have or have hade every one. Admittedly, I have the bourbon from Buzzards Roost, the rest are exact. Love the dark pumpernickel rye, would love to try the cask strength but it isn’t in my budget. The Knob Creek 12 is my ultimate favorite from this list though. Fantastic juice.

@richardbrandl7832 8 месяцев назад

Totally agree with the Buzzard's Roost. Took a tour of facility , sampled with the master distiller and love their product. Thanks

@BourbonJudge 8 месяцев назад

Good stuff!

@drgallup 8 месяцев назад

Good grief, there are so many good bottles out there under $75. Even perennial favorites like Rare Breed and ECBP fit in that category. Or Bakers 107, Four Roses Small Batch Select, Heaven Hill & Henry McKenna BiB's, JD SiB, Knob Creek 9 year BP (I'll take those over Knob Creak 12 all day long), Larceny BP, and I'm only halfway through the alphabet of big brands. And that's not to mention all the bargain brands that are still very good.

I have multiple back up bottles of Knob Creek 12. Great bottle.

@jasonmilby2623 8 месяцев назад

Buzzards Roost is awesome have had a single barrel rye and bourbon and the cigar blend is amazing and they do it totally different. They line a barrel with tobacco leaves and age it. It's amazing cheers great list but don't forget Watershed they have some great whiskey. If you can get a single barrel you can't lose, also the bottled in bond is awesome.

@BourbonJudge 8 месяцев назад

Thnx on the Watershed heads up.

Nancy Fraley, the blender at Joseph Magnus, does consultation mixing/blending/finishing at Wyoming. So, expect the finished bourbons and aged products there to be special.

@carlosc9127 8 месяцев назад

Thank you for the video... need to check some of those. A few months ago I was able to get a KC12, and I was surprised how good it was... great value and available.

@davevogelsang6791 8 месяцев назад

Great bottles Judge. I have 2 bottles of Green River Single Barrel that are 119 proof. A step above for $55. Knob Creek 12 Year is close to a perfect bourbon IMO. Buzzard’s Roost doing some great things. I love the Barrel Strength Bourbon. 🥃

KC12 year is one of my favorite bottles I own and I have to do a lot to get mine as we do not have then around me in AL. I have heard the 15 and 18 are not as good overall than the 12. Hoping to get my hands on the Middle West Pumpernickel rye

Is there a bourbon out there no matter what the cost, whether affordable or no, I’m affordable, that the bourbon is absolutely mind-boggling. Good! It’s so good that you can’t get it off your mind.

@Brad-ic4bp 8 месяцев назад

I don’t consider $75 to be the “bargain” threshold, so I’m glad you included some $35 bottles here.

@theukyankee 8 месяцев назад

Do you think the Starlight will be ready before June? That might be the one I'd purchase and send to my dad's house for him to bring me.

I have seen so many shows recommend Green River and got myself a bottle and it has sat 75% full for the longest time because I just flat out don't like it. I was so excited because so many of my favorite bourbon channels recommended it and for some reason it did not hit home at all

@ra0333 8 месяцев назад

What does a “pumpernickel rye” taste like. Is there a thing to “pumpernickel” grain? I’m a strangely huge fan of pumpernickel pretzels and bread. Never heard of a pumpernickel rye. Great video.

Its a unique pour. Think of a bread dough note, type of whiskey that is dipped in caramel. Its unique but amazing
