The 8 Best Value-Per-Dollar Bourbons, Blind Tasted And Ranked

We grabbed eight bourbons from the bottom shelf and ranked them on taste alone. Here’s which ones didn’t *taste* cheap.

Sad that "Old Crow" was way down on the list, at one time decades ago this was a premium Bourbon. I like the bonded JTS Brown amd Ezra, the rest are so so IMO. Evan Williams makes a single barrel (dated) that you can ony get in Ky thats a good price although a little thin for me. I likes that high proof stuff. My daily go-to now is OGD 114.

 

[BarnBuster]

Not much of a rum drinker anymore but I might have to try this. Quite a deal for $30 if it's available. 139 Proof! Been drinking Wild Turkey "Rare Breed" (116 proof) lately but don't really care for it, less rye in the mash bill by half than OGD 114.

"Oh fuck, that’s delicious!"

My Wandering Eye: Plantation O.F.T.D. Overproof 69% Rum — BOURBON GUY

My Wandering Eye is an ongoing series reacting to the rising prices in the bourbon world. We’ve reached a place where even average products have hit the range where they compete price-wise with other types of aged spirits.

Still one of my favorite places to mail order booze. Even if you have a state that "prohibits" importation of liquor, send the company an email and see if they will ship. They have many bourbons that I can't find locally and I suspect the same with Scotch. Pricing reasonable and free shipping on orders over a certain $.

This is/was my best all time place for mail order but they have restricted shipment to my state.
