Tastes

I still think this is my daily drinker, but sipping neat next to Buffalo Trace reminds you of the extra proof. Need to compare OF 86 and BT.

Simply incredible whiskey. At $33, if you see it, buy it. Traditional caramel BT juice, but this is what 10 years in a barrel can do.

This one was a store pick, so I'm not sure if that changes anything. Great daily drinker if it is available in your area. Traditional caramel flavor with the perfect smooth finish

Easily my fave of the FR lineup. Barrel no 22-4T. Smooth butterscotch with a really interesting late mouth feel seems lower proof than OF SB which is 90 vs this 100.

Store pick. Warehouse K. Floor 3. Really incredible, low alcohol nose. Vanilla from nose through finish. Smooth and easy to drink, but probably not worth 2x cost off OF 100. OF 1920 is very different but worth paying a bit more for.

Just tasted next to Rare Breed and preferred the 101 neat. Top 3 daily drinker for sure.

A drop of water opens it up well. Side by side, I'll take WT 101 straight out of the bottle. Mostly a matter of proof preference. Probably not worth the money IMO.

Four roses yellow label + alcohol. Only 2.5% higher, but you taste every bit of it. Skip it, and go for the SB if you love the FR juice.

Incredible neat pour for a newer bourbon drinker. I prefer a bit higher proof (I can add an ice cube if too high), but this bourbon is an incredible value. Skip the small batch and buy this or the single barrel for a splurge. This is in my top 3 for a daily drinker with OF 100 & WT 101.

There's a lot of whiskey nerds who call this the best daily drinker on the planet, and it's definitely in the top 3-5, but it doesn't beat OF 100 for me; even though it is a few bucks cheaper. Very easy to drink neat or with one cube; simply a matter of preference. WT 101 has a simpler caramel and light fruit taste and finish which surprises you after the high octane nose.
