Kurt (SLB Resident Host), you nailed the Reddit list but they forgot one category. So there are actually 6 types of whiskey you need and here they are: 1. Daily drinker 2. Impress your guests 3. Cheap mixer 4. Something great - your Friday nite pour 5. Saving for a special occasion 6. Bottle to give away as a gift. (I give Buffalo Trace).

Daily Drinker: like you said, needs to be in $25 range. Larceny IMHO is outstanding at just less than that price point. Old Forester offers a lot of value - but their cheaper offerings are kinda harsh, as is Buffalo Trace - Larceny is way smoother. On your advice, I'm gonna check out the WT Rare Breed, I bet it's worth $40 easily. You know, I'm not familiar with any of those you went over, except I've had regular 12-year Red Breast and it WAS outstanding. Hahahaha, there are no secrets from your wife/cameraman!!

I grew up in a household of non-drinkers because of drunks in the family. And the names "wild turkey" and "old grand-dad" always held this stigma of trash because they were choice drinks of these family alcoholics. I got into whiskey tasting about 4 years ago and have started a small collection. It sounds like I need to give these brands a chance.

As a former alcoholic and former connoisseur of bargain brand bourbons, I must say you can do better for less is the buzz is all you’re concerned about. Evan Williams is the cheapest bottle on the shelf and has subtle hints of bourbon with major hints of diesel fuel and an aftertaste of kerosene. Jim Beam was by far my favorite, as for $10 more a bottle you could actually some subtle flavors… before completely forgetting about what they were in the morning. In all seriousness I was just starting to actually enjoy whiskey before I gave it up.
@privatename3621

"because of drunks in the family" ... "I got into whiskey tasting about 4 years ago and have started a small collection" ...be careful. That's how it starts. "Casual alcohol drinking" (if that's even a real thing) is a slippery slope. It reels you in very slowly, like a nearly invisible thread of a cobweb. And gradually hauls you into its addictive, inescapable black hole orbit like a steel cable that you can't unteather yourself from. The key is that constant and repetitive act of consuming small amounts every day (including wine), until you gradually build up to a little more each day, and maybe a second or a third, and a little stronger in the proof. The the shame and hiding sets in when you begin to realize it has become more than just a way to relax. I actually worry about the host of this channel. He's already speeding his skis on that downhill slope.

I cannot imagine what it is like to walk into a store in the US and see just how cheap stuff is. In Australia his $40 to $45 daily drinker Wild Turkey Rare Breed is $105 a bottle AUD. Makers Mark is a $50 to $55 bottle here. Not $25. As a mixer bourbon (coke). Makers Mark is pure liquid gold. Top Shelf, tastes magnificent. It is a smooth as a baby's bottom. (Please pardon the expression). Lucky for me I am in Australia, saves me from alcoholism.

I have talked to others from Australia as well about bourbon pricing. I wish everyone around the world could experience similar pricing as I do. Hopefully there are other spirit options that are not as salty.

I just discovered this video and I happen to have recently bought a bottle of Rare Breed, which I love with a very small splash of water. When you have it on a block of ice, are we talking an Old Fashioned style big rock, or a smaller cube? Thanks for the great, down to earth content - you're one of my favourite channels on YT

Really appreciate that! I usually pour mine over a large block of ice but I don’t let it sit in the glass for a long period of time. A small piece of ice would be just fine as well if you are just looking for the dilution.

I drink OGD 114 and BiB regularly as daily drinkers. They are both quite fantastic for the price. Fortunately I usually can get the ECBP at MSRP locally and have numerous bottles of different batches in reserve. I think that it's superior to many much more sought after whiskeys like Elmer T Lee and Blanton's. You'll love Batch 5 of the Discovery series once you try it. All great stuff. How is that Booker's 30th Anniversary? That's a special occasion bottle...

The very term "daily drinker" should scare the piss out of everyone as a warning sign. It certainly would for any recovering alcoholic. If not, how does the term "daily shootup" strike you? There you go.

@@privatename3621 The only thing that worries me about drinking daily is the calories. Not everyone is susceptible to alcoholism. Many whiskey fans take regular “fasts” to reset their palates, lose some weight, or make sure they are keeping things balanced. The term daily drinker to me is more about good tasting affordability rather than drinking daily. Chill.

I only wish I could get red breast 27 year for 5 C Notes. $599. That is what we pay in Washington for Redbreast 27 year . I might need to sell my house to buy a bottle. I have tried the other redbreasts. I find none of them are disappointing and in some cases flat affordable for what they are. The small batch cask strength is wonderful. It’s hard to call $99 a bottle cheap. But it is just that for the quality
