Surprised Four Roses didn’t win! The Wild Turkey 101 is definitely the superior bottle (rivalling rare breed when considering cost).

ok 4 dashes of bitters in a martini you officially lost me

Manhattan is 2-1-2

soda in an old fashioned? Nah fam

old grandad bonded would be right next to the evan williams bonded

Has to be the worst tamper ever .......lol

Of those choices? Evan Williams Bonded For $3 more dollars I'd grab Very Old Barton 👍🏽

would like something with less sugar or none at all preferably...

That's the fist I've ever seen. Someone put soda water in an old fashion. Need to try it

You could play baseball with that muddler - or kill a big fish! Those drinks sound so refreshing. ✔️

This was great! Would love to see this with other spirits (tequila, scotch (maybe like $30-$50 on this one), etc.)

You can tell these were picked by bartending fans and not whiskey fans, but to be fair they at least didn't pick anything horrible, just not the best budget bottles.

8:18 "that is without a doubt elven-- evle-- evan williams bonded bourbon" lmaoooo

Meanwhile, here in Norway, you can't get anything for under $20 at the liquor store 😆

Some of your drinks were weird e.g the side car.. "Cocktails you need to know" ... but done the way you want it done... not how people might expect it.. 😶

I have a question that I'd really like to know the answer to. Here in the UK, if you go back 30 years ago right to the present day there are brands of spirit that have always been available from any drinks store. The likes of Gordon's gin, bombay sapphire, famous grouse, bacardi. These are your household name brands on the UK and there are so many other options but I see you guys using them in many cocktail videos from many channels on RUclips. However, here in the UK those same 'household name' American whiskeys are Jack Daniels and Jim Beam but nobody ever mixes with them, puts them in comparison lists or talks about them. Why? Are they bad? Over priced? Poor to mix with? Because outside of America, these are the brands you can always find in any store that sells booze and it's the brand we think of first when we think American whisky. What's up with that?

I’ll drink anything Leandro makes ;) especially a Mojito ❤😄

Delices vodgka

Just made this choice a couple days ago for a new bottle, wish the video had been out. Went with Old Forester 100

Where's the Dant?

Evan Williams BIB is one of the best values in all of whiskey.

Four Roses is my well bourbon and work and fairly underrated in my opinion.

Funny thing. I'd been drinking Four Roses for several years as a general purpose bourbon. My mom saw me pouring one and told me that's what her grandpa (my great grandpa) drank. Don't know if tastes are genetic but its an interesting coincidence.

Of course, the best Bourbon is the Bourbon you like best. But like you said, it's a good reassurance that there's quality at lower prices and in a sluggish economy it's good to know that we can still enjoy good liquor.

Jim beam

Imagine using ice in a martini :( Go watch how Duke's does it and then just do it like they do. Freeze the alcohol, freeze the glass, don't let it touch ice.

Love you diving into whiskey more as a whiskey nut myself!

I’ve been a bartender for 10 years and this guys an amateur

Great showdown video! What would you choose for best $20 and under bourbon for mixing? Same ranking?

If you are going to use it for mixing, save yourself some $$ and use Mellow Corn for bourbon/whiskey.

Man I wish four roses was in the $20 class in this part of the US. Pretty sure it's $28 at my usual place. Anyway it'd be cool to see the same treatment for ryes (but you'd probably have to kick the price range upwards by $5 or so)

6 1.5 once pours.... Good luck

It’s not a bourbon but my go-to is Mellow Corn. I use that almost always unless a) I think the flavor of something specific works better b) it would be a different drink because I’m using whiskey and not bourbon whiskey.

You are correct😊

Thank you I use it for my Matcha green ice latte I make at home.

My go to for under $20 for the longest was Ezra Brooks, but apparently they discontinued it because I haven't seen it anywhere in over a year now. 😢

Old Grand Dad is all about the bottled in bond or 114. They're not much more than the basic but a big jump in quality.

To be honest, bourbon has such a constricted flavour profile and consistent quality regulations that I'm not surprised Leandro can't tell much of a difference between them here. Two scotches or mezcals can taste like they're from different planets due to cask influence or varietals, but bourbon at its base is majority corn plus new American oak, the flavours are going to be caramel, vanilla, apple, wood spice, cherry, corn more or less. And this isn't entirely a knock, that narrowness and strict definition means it's absolutely delicious even at the cheaper price points: I'd much rather enjoy a cheap bourbon than just about any cheap example of another spirit out there.

Is "Ancient Age" what used to be called "Early Times"? I really liked that one, used to get it really cheap here in Mexico then it suddenly disappeared

OGD 114 for the win.

Just make the damn picks man. Do you not want to be wrong so badly. Damn it's like pulling teeth

Funny because I’d never buy Evan Williams normally. I’ll have to try it out.

Love charanda, great video! I would not call that chararanda guey a three dots and a dash riff though; they’re barely alike. There are probably like 25 other tiki drinks that it’s closer in ingredients list and flavor profile to.

Dude don’t listen to this guy and all his recipes. Old fashions don’t come with a lemon peel. And gin martinis aren’t usually made with bitters.

If you do this again you should grab Benchmark and Rebel Yell.

I love that his logic is that its not the drink its the people 😆

Evan Williams is my favorite swill....

If you can get JW Dant BIB it's a total steal at $15@750ml. Awesome sipper and a great mixer.

I would have mellow corn, and wild turkey 101 in there.
