Thanks for coming back to the common man bourbon review, for a second I thought we had lost you guys to the rare and exotic guild. Also, a craft distillery would put out a product similar to this and charge $35-$50, JB white label is a baseline that craft distilleries would love to reproduce #bottomshelfmatters

Here is a point on uniqueness, they started selling Jim Beam in 1795 and a whole lot of people have started making and selling bourbon since then. Guess who they copied?

Blind tasting might produce different results. Seems too much it based on expectations rather than reality. Dillon and Ben's scores seem to be more in tune with what they say.

blind taste testing typically puts cheaper bourbons head to head with much more expensive. So, they tend to accentuate the higher priced bourbons, not the best value and experience for the money.

I agree with Ben. I had a glass and sipped it neat at a hotel, with 2 trees, passing it out for free and I was surprised with all the flavors. It was just watered down. This 4 year at full proof would be quite good

I just bought a bottle to stock up for the sake of having bourbon on hand. During these hard times, and hard times in general i tend to go from jack daniels to jim beam since beam is cheaper. I also got a bottle of their apple flavor bourbon as well. Was checking to see if it's still good and reliable. Haven't had beam in awhile. Great honest review!

Maybe you guys should rate it going in completely blind and then add in the value at the end after a reveal of what you've been drinking as to not get influenced. Then again when you know what you're drinking you know what to look for and things don't always taste the same depending on a few different factors so idk, don't fix anything that ain't broken I guess?

Cool show, judging from this episode the guy on the right clearly has the most refined nose. I can't remember what this expression is like immediately after opening the bottle, but when it's half empty and has been open a few weeks the nose upfront is honey, pancake syrup, canned pineapple syrup, and corn syrup. Also, great point that for this price there's no comparable alcoholic drink out there; budget scotch is full of added caramel and if it's aged at all it's sat in decaying wood.

It can't be bourbon in the US under 40% and some countries have a tax on ABV, which is why they get Blanton's at 40% (special reserve), Buffalo Trace at 40%, and I guess Jim Beam at 37% in New Zealand.

These reviews should be done blind only. Also how are you guys gonna score the most legendary bourbon of all time on "uniqueness" and not give it max points? Of course it tastes common...because it's inspired almost every bourbon to be made since. They can't just go and change their original recipe hundreds of years later cause everyone has copied them. If you guys want something more "unique", try a newer label. Lastly, lets talk "complexity". This was created in 1795! Most people back then were happy to get something aged at all. The quality of White Label may not be super impressive in today's world where we have machines and technology to make life easier, but a lot of work was put into this back then. Again, if you want to judge something in the way you do today's most premium spirits, pick a newer label instead of bashing one that's centuries old.
