I snagged one at K&L so check with them from time to time. First time I'd seen any VOB in CA. Got an 86, 90 and 100 proof. Thought the 86 was decent. Haven't tried the other tow yet.

I would not want for anything else, and never be bored with the selection. But, since you ask if there were any others to add, I have found much enjoyment with Ezra Brooks 90 proof and VOB 90 proof. The 1.75s of these probably will still be rather short of your price point in this exercise, but (mostly) drink equally with your 11. Did you drink the Ezra Brooks 101 when it was available? I always liked that. How does the 90, other than 11 proof lower, compare? I may have to try the 90. Edited June 22, 2020 by BoilerinIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always respected it for being a bottom shelf pour at 90 proof instead of 80 or 86. I recently finally got my hands on a VOB 90, and it was good without a doubt. My next goal is to get a bottle of VOB 100, but I've never seen it on a shelf out here. I really like the VOB 100. My store actually keeps this in the back when it comes in. It's just crazy that something under $20 is held back like that. I always buy it when they have it in stock because it goes quickly and doesn't come back often.

BigRich Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 WT 101 has been killing it for me the last six months. Before that was BT and before that was Four Roses Yellow Label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My BIL can buy RR10 for $21.99 and if I could, it'd be on my list as well. Edited June 22, 2020 by Vosgar add an item 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I vote WT101, KC, OGD in that order. If you haven't tried everything on that list, you're absolutely missing out on excellent stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squire Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 In this price range my favorite, for years now, is Old Grand Dad BIB. Barton is a close second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiskeyBlender Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 That's easy, number #3 WT101. You can find it at almost every decent bar and restaurant across the country, and if they don't have anything more high end, at least you know you can have a good pour that night!

FacePlant Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I'm going to be a rule breaker. ER is at $31.99 on the 750s but the 1.75 is $51.99 so that takes the price down below the $25 level "per 750". Somebody always cutting line or cheating in some way. RULE BREAKER But yes WT of course. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bourbon Sabbath Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 OGD 114 in the colder months & either WT101 or EW BIB in the hot season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Just off the top of my head, this Weller 12 Year I had earlier tonight that I paid $21.99 for back in 2016 would probably make the list. Lol, sorry that was uncalled for Seriously, in this price range for me it starts and ends with Wild Turkey 101. It's not close. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangler Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 (edited) Well, a liter bottle of Evan Williams black label goes for $15.81 otd at my local Costco so that's a winner. My favorite under $25 bottle is Larceny, $22 at Wall of China Mart. Edited July 13, 2020 by Wrangler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At my local Safeway supermarket, a handle of EW black is sometimes as low as $15.99 with the 10% half case mixed wine/spirit discount. That's the equivalent of $6.85/750. I don't know of a better value than that... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
