Most over-rated Bourbon?

[Jake T]

I’ll add Four Roses. No thank you

Knob creek single barrel. Good lord. If you like drinking bourbon that feels like it evaporates the moment it hits your lips this is definitely for you. That stuff isn't good for anything but fire starter. All burn, terrible flavor.

four roses

(I'll take everyones Blantons!)

All those Yellowstone brands ( from the tv show)

Bourbon
Ranch water ( wine cooler for cowboys)

I've been leaning harder into single barrel cask strength bourbons. The variation of different flavor profiles and proofs etc is what has been interesting. Most of the over rated sips for me have been the more generic blended and de-proofed drinks. But... I've also run into some single casks that weren't worth the price of admission.

Blanton's, really not a fan.

From this thread, I’ve gathered most of you guys don’t have the pallet for anything buffalo trace distillery (buffalo trace, eagle rare, Blantons, EH Taylor, and Pappy).

I do agree that pappy isn’t worth what people pay for it second hand. EH Taylor small batch is probably my favorite BT product. Eagle Rare is hard to beat for the money.

I think Blantons is decent but not worth the secondary market price.

E.H.Taylor is one I like and buy.

Can't comment on the Pappys as I've never even seen one to buy here.

Blantons, decent but overall it’s just ok
Willet pot still, cool bottle but the juice is meh
High West, everything I’ve tried from them has been meh
Buffalo Trace is decent for the price but I don’t get the hype.
Still Austin, admittedly, I’ve only had the barrel strength but it didn’t wow me

For me, its about value for its use. I use high proof stuff to mix but I wouldn't normally drink it straight. Knob Creek, 4 Roses Single etc...Agree on the Buff Trace and add in on the high end, Van Winkle - for the price I was underwhelmed

Taylor Small Batch has been the most consistent to me. I’ve had different bottles of single barrel side by side and the perceived quality between them was huge.

I’ve had at least a taste of all the pappys. They’re good bourbon. They’re not worth mortgage payments.

Eagle rare for sure! Buffalo trace at $26 for a half gallon is hard to beat, but far from the best.
