- Are you tired of hunting bourbon? Everything seems to be hard to find these days so instead of searching for extremely allocated bourbon we give you a handful of alternative whiskeys that you can probably find and buy instead of overpaying for allocated whiskey.

Bardstown Disco 11, KC 12 and ET BIB all day everyday 🤘🏻
Found JD Rye in my local grocery store for $51.99 ,what a score!!!
There every where only during the spring
That’s less than MSRP. Lol
Barrel proof?
That's a hell of a deal! I still can't find one for less than $70
You paid what it is worth. $50.
It is both funny and sad that It is cheaper to commit a misdemeanor stealing a bottle than getting one from one on the secondary. Well... I might actually be able to get a Pappy 23 after all. Thanks for the pro tip guys.
Sean's back on the ET BiB train! Let's go! 🤘🤣🥃
I'm admittedly a frug... and I've enjoyed most every recommendation you've made. Love the channel!
KC 12 is my go to bottle lately. Love it.
I’m a huge fan of benchmark products. Just bought my first bottle of Top Floor and I’ve really enjoy it
Try the bonded too! You won't be disappointed!
Proud "frug", but I'll still try to pick up a bottle of 1924.
ET BIB 1L bottles can be found for $14.99 here in Tampa and go as low as $12
I randomly walked into a Total Wine and they had a bunch of allocated stuff for sale limit 1. Every bottle was MSRP and they had OF 1924, EHT smb, Eagle Rare, Caribou Crossing, 1792 BIB, 1792 FP, and Weller SR 750 & 1.75. The only one of those I didn't own was a Caribou and for $50 I figured I'd buy one just to have it. Then I realized it was limit 1... per bottle. I'm not big on Sazerac products but at MSRP I figured I can add a backup bottle or give away some bottles to friends. Went ahead and added an EHT and ER to the cart and was checking out... asked how many 1924s they had and they said that was the last one. Fine, add it to the cart.
Kinda crazy that that is considered a big score when it's 2 bottom shelfers, 1 Canadian whiskey, and one new release. 5-6 years ago the 3 Sazerac bottles would just be sitting there for anyone to buy every day of the week.
Also... WTF Total Wine. I've visited that location about 75 times over the past year and they never have anything. Then randomly they put out 7 allocated bottles on the same day. You know they get TONS of Sazerac given their total sales but you never see it.
Complain to corporate in Maryland.
I pretty much love everything Sagamore puts out. The 8 year rye and Sherry finish last year were just spectacular
I have sag sherry and double oak. Not a fan. They are def quality whiskeys, but they both have this brightness note thats really off putting to me.
@@jacksmith2315
To each their own. That's what makes whiskey tasting so great
That 8 year rye is great. I haven’t found many that are better for my palate.
That JDSBBP Rye was probably my favorite new whiskey I picked up last year. Incredible stuff
Wild Turkey is high rye. If you can't find Russell's Reserve 13, buy Kentucky Spirit or Russell's Reserve 10. Bardstown Bourbon Series #11 is about $140 a bottle if you can get it.
Great video. Thanks so much for the alternatives.
Shout out to the Rosswille Union barrel strength rye. Just found it, so good.
So good! Just picked one up myself. I got it for half off so it was 35 I think and it’s 7yr BP MGP rye. Can’t go wrong.
Yay! They reviewed my bottle!!
I'm with you guys on the Series 11, JD BP RYE, Probably on the Sagamore Port (I had Sherry Rye and other Sagamore products)..and in a pinch the Knob 12yr. The rest is waaay iffy.
Thank you for these kind of videos. For some of us just starting into bourbon, this is very helpful.
Sagamore port is also Maryland only with the last 2 releases
I was going to say that one is difficult to find if you don’t live there or have a friend there. That’s harder for me to find than the MWND. There are places by me that still have it!
Happy to see the Early Times BIB "SOUL CRUSHER" bottle making another appearance :)
Southwest Georgia here, Benchmark lineup doesn't exist here. You can find the standard bottle but none of the others.
Glad you mentioned they sell shirts without graphics.
I appreciate y'all keeping us up to date on the quality improvement of Early Times BiB. I've been disappointed in my last 2 handles of WT101 and have been looking for a replacement.
Picked up a JD10 batch 3 and it’s delicious. Favorite of the year so far.
Nice work gents. Agree with these and love the explanation for the EHT SmB. Also, the frugs is perfect haha Cheers!
Love your vids. You guys play off each other very well.
The last few months I have seen more bottles of OF 1924 on the shelves than I have Early Times BiB.
ET is @21 here 1L. wt101 is still $21 too. midsummer was around $140 a few weeks ago. she gone. we dont have any fancy benchmarks here in CO
The duty free travel exclusive bonded jack is the BOMB, and comes in a 1 liter
Knob 12 and 1924 are both very good, but as far as bourbon goes, pretty different tasting.
(In Florida)...bought EHT BiB, from a large retailer, about 9 months ago for $100. They just received another 6 or so bottles. They are CURRENTLY selling them for $200/bottle. This is criminal.
Nice video! The JD SBBP Rye is generally unavailable in Northern California; so replacing Michter's Barrel Strength with it is not an option. I would have rather suggested an Old Forrester SiB Rye. More likely than not, it's the same mashbill as Michter's
GREAT INFO GUYS
Very nice guys, especially for those of us on a budget! Thanks!!
Now if I could only find ET in Ohio...
My local store just got the 1924s and mandated I buy either premium old Forester or a premium JD...they had JD SBBP Rye for $67.99...no brainier.
Disco #11 is great, so I got a backup. I liked the JD Bonded but I sure hope that the couple bottles of JD10 that I picked up are significantly better. Love the JDSBBP Rye, snagged a couple at msrp. My ET BiB is a nice daily sipper.
I have a buddy sitting at High West right now and he is sipping the MWND 11 … we both agree that at the old price we’d buy it in a heartbeat … now not so much. High West used to be a distillery I would rah rah rah … these days it’s become nah nah nah
Can’t find MWND on shelves here in VA but I stopped in a couple MD stores last month and saw it sitting for no less than $225! Good luck with that!
I'm on Team Fruges! KC 12 yr is so good.
My bottle of Top Floor was pretty crappy, had to banish it to only being a mixer. I'm down with the Full Proof though.
Great video good to know fellas
Great seeing Sean backing Early Times BiB again. First couple years were rough for that bottle post buyout, but recently the blending has improved so much, like 95% of the way back to greatness. Hoping that the Sazerac distillate keeps up the pace, and that they release a cask strength sometime in the near future
If you find a good bottle, snag a backup.
@@robertlee6781 oh, I bought a case from the same shipment my great bottle came from. I'm a bottle into that, and so far so good
Can’t get John J Bowman in Oregon, which is a bummer. Otherwise, I would’ve tried it. Hoping to get a bottle while on a vacation road trip.
Since BT is using a new distributor, I’m starting to see EH Taylor small batch in quite a few places here in California. Seems like prices are starting to come down a little and the places still with huge mark up can’t sell the stuff.
I have the fusion 7 and I love it. Almost grabbed the 9 tonight. I have the bonded JD is the bonded close to 12? I just picked up the Sagamore double oak OMG so good. Ugh I need a JD SB RYE.... I haven't seen ethere early times or of 1924.
I get KC 12 anytime I find it. great price.
John J Bowman has to be mash bill 2. It's definitely closer to Blantons than EHT
I live in the Nashville, TN area. My brother (Pinconning, MI) is coming for a visit in 2 weeks and I am taking him to Jack Daniels Distillery for a tour and tasting, Mary Bobo's for lunch. Based on availability, what should I buy from the JD store?
Never seen Sagamore Port in my area, but had more than enough opportunity to get MWND.
Just scored a JD 10 yesterday at a local drop in VA. Had no idea I just scored that hard😊
Love the channel , wish you guys were closer so I could come check out the whiskey ?? But bama ain’t close to Michigan….. please keep up the GREAT content !
I live in VA and your first two alternatives are just as unobtainable as RR13 or EHT lol
Some of these subs are hard to find in my area that’s why I just stick with the bottles I can find. WT KC OF. Are always on the shelf and aren’t expensive.
Yes. Having the Jack Bonded and J10, J10 is a LOT like the bonded. Def agree w that one. 🥃🥃
JD Batch 3?
You guys are so funny, love this channel, you guys remind me of me when I was your age. Keep sipping.
For those who like Blanton’s, Frank August is a newer (at least in my area) brand with what I think is better bourbon and has a gorgeous bottle.
Glad to hear the newer Early Times bonded are slowly merging back to the common taste. That was a forever bottle for me when Brown Forman owned it. Glad it's not entirely going to sh*t with Sazerac owning it now
Saw my first OF 1924 the other day, 225 big ones. I'd take 9 ET BiB or 3 KC12 over that just from an economy standpoint. Go Frooogs!
Dang, I lucked out on 1924 then! Got mine a month ago, on the shelf with the rest of the OF for $78. And the hunting around here isn't great, never see much sought after bottles.
I am a frug and I 100% agree with the Early times call.
I don’t know, I picked up a benchmark top floor and I was disappointed. I am not a fan of the finish, I get a peas note there that I just do not like. I’m hoping after it opens up a lil it’s better.
Dudes the liquor store global wine an liquor stores in Murray KY has 4 to 5 bottles of both E.H. Taylor small batch, Michters Rye, also E.H. Taylor single barrel and can get all this every month
Currently sipping Benchmark Small Batch. Now I wish I would've tried the Top Floor. How do they compare?
Totally missed it with the Benchmark.
Great video gents! Question, do you guys think JD 10 is a better value then JD 12? Or is one much better than the other?
John J Bowman single barrel was the move instead of EHT... but now its getting harder to find even in VA
John J Bowman is all over Maryland depending on what part of Va you're in
There’s still Jack 10 year in my area for $99 and I bought 2
20$???..I get the Benchmark Topfloor in Middle Tennessee for $14.95!!!!..it's amazing...
I feel like a lot of the Weller and BT products are a buy once and then decide your threshold. I just picked up an OWA for $150 and am content.
Living in OR where distro is horrible Im just screwed with all of these not existing lol
@9:48, JDSBBPR is a Tennessee rye lol
How do you both feel about the standard michter's rye?
Midwinter Act 11 cost was $120 in MD, so retail was already above $150 and pretty sure the KC 12 was over $50 cost, so well above $60 on the shelf. ATM, KC 12 isn't even available in MD. Same can be said of ET BIB and Benchmark.
PA cleared out their KC12 last month for 1/2 price. Everybody loaded up.
I love early times so much. Passed on 1924 several times because of the poor reviews and mostly because the price but I regret not getting one after the ET comparison
What bottle do I need to get in Lexington,Distillery only ?
I’m such I get it 5 bottle for the price of one really good one
Love lists like these but can’t find Sagamore Port cask finish and Jack Daniel’s BP rye …😢😢
I love the channel but I was shocked to see Jack Daniel’s Bonded and an alternative to the 10 Year Jack. In your video of “Every Jack Daniel’s Whiskey Ranked?”, your ratings were the following:
#11 Triple Mash
#10 Gentleman Jack
#9 Old No 7
#8 Bonded
#7 Bottle in Bond
#6 No 27 Maple Wood Finished
#5 Single Barrel Select
#4 10 Year
#3 Single Barrel Barrel Proof
#2 12 Year
#1 Coy Hill
I assume that the Bonded version was rated too low before.
Effing Walmart near me just had all the BTAC last Friday. At MSRP. And I missed it😢.
Jeremey’s the greatest. Hell yeah.
Is there a good resource for what “retail” should be? I am a $60-$80 bottle person - I don’t mind spending a little for something good. $100 + is a little crazy for me (no judgement of anyone else), so I appreciate this list and similar videos you have done. Just wish there was an easy comprehensive guide to spotting a good deal.
I've been looking for Sagamore Port for 2 years...nada unless you want to pay $300 secondary. MWND is all over the place though if you're willing to cough up $150 for it.
i couldn't help but laugh at the 1924/early times comparison cause I've never seen either of those bottles in person in San Diego lol
The only benchmark i can find is benchmark 8. I can find all the eh taylors easier than benchmark full proof and too floor. If cant find RR 13, get disco 11. My brother has RR 13, but im not a big fan. Ive been dying to try any of bardstown products. Any of the origins, and disco, etc. Ive only tried one, i have fusion 7 that someone brought back from me when they were on vaca out of state. There is absolutely no bardstown products here in MA. Not even in lotteries. Its legit easier to get orvw, pappy, rr 13, and other allocated stuff like that than it is to get the origins and disco series.
If you’re not the biggest fan of most Brown Foreman products (me), but really like most of Beam’s products (also me), don’t think twice about KC12 over 1924. It doesn’t blow it away for me, but is clearly better whiskey imo
Top floor is my favorite of the Benchmark line up. I enjoy it quite a bit. I don’t care for EH Taylor though. I know I’m in the minority on that, but I just don’t care much for it.
Found a place selling EH Taylor Small Batch for $65...
Have you guys tried ABERLOUR Speyside single Malt Scotch? First time I tried it a week ago, and it is the smoothest Scotch I have personally ever had.
Would Coopers Craft be a good 1924 substitute?
Damn. Cant even find the replacements, 😭 want that bardstown
JD single barrel rye is way harder to get then mitchers barrel strength rye across the pond. Just an information though
That nose on the 1924 and the subtle nose is great on it. Early Times and 1924 is the only bad comparison imho.
How have I never noticed the phallic shaped bottle behind dans head?
I LOOOOOOOVE me some Early Times!!
wish we could find disco 11 here in texas :(
JD Bonded is good for the $$
I don’t understand the Russel’s 13 distribution. Arkansas and Missouri received another round of batch five about three weeks ago. Needless to say I picked up two bottles within a 10 day span
Can't find ET BiB anywhere, except one store that wanted $80.
Redwood grizzly beast is along the lines of eh Taylor
The Magi blended rye is better than MWND at half the price as well
