wild turkey 101 is the greatest cheap (sub $25) bourbon that has ever existed

[ISmokeTooMuch]

if you disagree i'd like to hear your fukkin reasoning, *******

[JerryAtrix]

I remember getting some out of my buddy's dad's liquor cabinet, made some of those microwave lava cakes, was a great day, was like 15.

got dem feels now.

[MFarrar74]

its great for getting drunk, i am sure there are better tasting whiskeys in that price range, although i dont really drink anymore so i cant give you an example off the top of my head.

WT 101 is goat for cocktails

buffalo trace (also sub $25) is goat for everything but i like the higher proof of 101

BRB one shot
BRB drunk
BRB gf mad

[MrBourbon]

Nope.

[ISmokeTooMuch]

Nope.

wow great reasoning and explanation

your username won't do the talking for you motherfukker

[redwine91]

Makes me want whiskey thx op

[swoleyo]

Proof that whiskey is absolutely disgusting if people think wild turkey actually tastes good. I tried wild turkey 101, it's bitter, awful going down and has a nasty after flavor that doesn't go away.

Thanks op ill buy it next.

I usually just grab Bulleit, got some knob creek 9 year for Christmas that was really good.

Right now i have jimbeam black, not a big fan for some reason.

Back to the turkey it is. Is turkey good for cocktails like old fashioned or manhattans? Or better on the rocks?

[blindsideflank]

I know you’re all bourbon guys but famous grouse is probably the best cheap whisky IMO.

[Murph0408]

you know what? agreed.

at under 25 dollars your choices are pretty grisly at least in terms of what's widely available. Turkey 101 is rock solid. i really want to try the 101 rye but have not seen it for sale yet in my area.

[mr.left hook]

agreed and I drink too much
also cisqo and nighttrain

oh yeah- the classic shiet

Buffalo Trace used to be $25 too until Pappy hype blew it out of that market. Now I can barely find it down here. Same thing is happening to Weller.

I'm not sharing my secrets with the world boyo. Think what you want.

101 is way too hot for a manhattan IMO. Try it in a revolver, it works really good against the Tia Maria.

Black Grouse > but agree the Grouse' are the best <$25 scotch money can buy. If you've got $30 get Monkey Shoulder.

I get fccked up quicker on Wild Turkey 101 than Don Q Rum 151 proof....

Don Q is a higher proof and yet it takes me a hell of a lot more shots of Don Q to feel anything, whereas with Wild Turkey I can hit about 4 shots and start to feel buzzed.

Roses bourbon was rough for me. Just didn’t click with me for some reason

Trace is definitely not a 25 dollar option anymore. Around here it’s easily $10 more than 101.

[MrBourbon]

It's 27 bucks here at total wine. Figured it's close enough for all the CEOs here.

Trace is up to $40 now here in Florida and most places keep behind the counter, fukken lol. Last Blanton's I saw was $95.

A certain other rare animal themed bottle of theirs is still reliably $40 but I know it's just a matter of time.

[DizzySmalls]

You are correct OP. There's no real argument to be had here

[low_clazz]

Buffalo Trace is the GOAT sub $25 bourbon...if you can find it. Wild 101 is my second though, no doubt.

I got a hook up at the local store and also a friend who buys several whenever he can get his hands on them, so i always have a bottle available at my house. So fawking smooth and drinkable.

[Archangel_Lost]

Lol that’s what my dad had in the top shelf. I’d prolly vom if I smelled it now since the first time I got super yucky and spewed all over myself was with that junk. That shirt always smelled like wild turkey and stomach acid from then on... ugh

Like someone else mentioned, the price has inflated in most areas.

trace is still sub 25 here. though i still end up going for WT 101 again and again. trace is great and all, but the turkey is a few bucks cheaper and i see no reason to pay more when turkey has everything you need as well as a higher proof

ill probably go back to buffalo trace after i finish off this bottle cause i do love me some buffalo trace

[low_clazz]

Like someone else mentioned, the price has inflated in most areas.

That's a shame, i think i paid $18 for my current bottle a few weeks ago, North TX area.

[2020Wellness]

I like Wild Turkey American Honey Sting. The touch of heat from ghost pepper really does the trick for me.

Winter time hot totties with it are nice too

My current favorite mid level ($60/80 bottle) is Jefferson/Jefferson's ocean

I'm a big fan of the plain old American Honey. I didn't know there was a sting, but I'll have to try that!

I just picked up a bottle of Maker's Mark second tier and it's pretty good as well. But ya, the American Honey is nice.

I will always be a 101 fanboy but Trace is objectively better and around the same price (here anyways)

another good low key option if you like 101 is Russells Reserve 10 yr, $25/bottle here

Weller special reserve was another superb low key option until people realized it was poor mans pappy

[i3oosted]

Imagine drinking a $25 bourbon and bragging about it lmao

[ByAssociation]

For regular price i think jim beam original is better than wild turkey. For a step up i like woodford reserve

[DizzySmalls]

Not using some amount of value priced liquor is a massive waste of money if you drink with any sort of frequency. If you are a standard $375,000/yr with massive prior investment miscer than why even consider it, but for the rare type of pleb here who only make low six figures, it's hard to justify having all of your bourbon be perfect for sipping.

With the opportunity cost of a compounding investment return, you are spending a massive amount of future value by being uppity about liquor. I'm uppity about a lot of things, and I will invest in a few more expensive bottles on occasion, but it's just not a great value prop to me and many others.
