The 10 BEST 90 Proof Bourbons PART 1! What are YOURS?

Описание: the listed whiskeys are definitively SOME of the "best" 90 proof bourbons, and are all well-regarded for their quality, flavor profile, and value, which makes them popular in the category. Each offers a different experience due to variations in their mash bill, aging, and distilling techniques. 

Buffalo Trace

A flagship bourbon known for its balanced, classic profile.

Best for: An everyday sipper that is versatile enough for cocktails.

Why it's a top choice:

Flavor profile: Features a sweet, approachable mix of vanilla, caramel, brown sugar, and fruit notes like cherry and orange zest. A subtle rye spice and oak appear on the finish.

Drinkability: Very well-balanced and smooth for its proof, making it easy to drink for both novices and experienced bourbon fans.

Value: At its recommended retail price (though availability varies), it offers exceptional quality for the money. 

Eagle Rare 10 Year

A more luxurious and aged expression from the same distillery as Buffalo Trace.

Best for: A premium, complex sipper for special occasions.

Why it's a top choice:

Flavor profile: Mellow and rich, with notes of sweet caramel, toasted oak, leather, and vanilla. The 10-year aging process contributes more depth than Buffalo Trace, and it's also known for hints of fruity port wine.

Mouthfeel: A richer, fuller mouthfeel compared to Buffalo Trace.

Legacy: As a 10-year age-stated single barrel (previously), it has a strong reputation among connoisseurs, though the flavor profile can vary slightly between barrels. 

Jim Beam Black 7 Year

The oldest standard-release Jim Beam product, offering a more robust and mature profile than the White Label.

Best for: An affordable, solid-performing bourbon for sipping or mixing in cocktails.

Why it's a top choice:

Flavor profile: Characterized by classic Jim Beam notes of nuts (almonds and peanuts), caramel, vanilla, and oak, with a nice balance of sweetness and dryness.

Complexity: The extra 7-year age statement compared to the no-age-statement version makes for a more complex and robust finish, with greater barrel influence.

Value: It offers a strong price-to-quality ratio, bringing an aged profile to the budget-conscious category. 

Green River 90 Proof

A historic Kentucky brand revived in recent years with a high-rye mash bill.

Best for: An affordable, distinct high-rye option that is easy to drink.

Why it's a top choice:

Flavor profile: Offers a good balance of rye spices, warming cinnamon, and fruit notes like dried cherry, complemented by classic bourbon caramel, vanilla, and oak.

Drinkability: Its high-rye mash bill provides a flavorful experience that remains smooth and easy to sip.

Value: Positioned as an excellent and affordable daily sipper, especially for those who enjoy a bit more spice in their bourbon. 

Russell's Reserve 10 Year

A high-rye, 10-year-aged expression from the legendary Wild Turkey distillery.

Best for: A consistently high-quality, mature, and balanced bourbon with a noticeable spice kick.

Why it's a top choice:

Flavor profile: Provides a more complex and mature take on the Wild Turkey profile, with notes of toffee, spicy caramel, vanilla, and orange peel.

Aging: The 10-year aging gives it a deeper oak presence, which is balanced by sweet and spicy flavors.

Craftsmanship: Developed by legendary distillers Jimmy and Eddie Russell, it reflects their extensive expertise and is considered a prime example of their work.
