Jim Beam Single Barrel is a touch better than Evan Williams BiB.

Seldom ever drink bourbon but I usually keep a bottle of Beam around for medicinal purposes.

Evan Williams and its not even close. No reason at all to drink standard Jim Beam.

Did a blind taste test of EW against Ezra Brooks, both straight bourbon.
The EB was better than the EW, but both are just mixers, not sippers. Jim Beam and Makers Mark are both mixers too. IMO, you have to step up a little for good sippers. Wild Turkey too, just a mixer.
I picked up some Bulleit. That is a much better bourbon for only a little more (<$30). It compares well with it's daddy, Four Roses, but is obviously much younger. What's a mixer? ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/TPYgBdHL/20230626-111109.jpg) That is funny!

It's a little know fact that in addition to his good taste in liquor, Teal is a highly successful author.

I was hoping this thread was about Jim and Evan being in the front running for Speaker.

Life is too short, especially at my age, for cheap booze. 😜 Evan Williams single barrel will go toe to toe with many of the much more expensive bourbons Without a doubt. Used to find it a lot around here. Haven’t seen it in a year. If I do I’ll buy a case.

Isn’t JB owned by some pedophile Chinese alien company. Seems like I recobember something like that. Anyway, from my serious liquor drinking days and my now thankfully severely moderated days, Jim always broke trail when dark thirty brought the deer slayers back to camp. Glug glug glug glug, Coke chaser. But for the now more civilized pastime I’d say EW takes the lead. Black Label over Jim. Single Barrel and Small batch neck n neck over BL, Bonded a nose ahead of all.
But I’ve been trying Rye of late as well and there are some reasonably priced versions. Just picked up some Wild Turkey Rye for $26 a bottle. It’s about even with EW Bonded but i like the distinctive rye flavor over any EW or JB.

As far as their standard offerings go, which do you think is better? Not talking about their higher end stuff. My nod goes to Evan Williams, I think it's way tastier than Jim Beam.
I'm aware there's better Bourbons available. U drink that scchidt ? welcome to the fire

For the same price you can get much better than beam or williams. I am pretty happy with the costco brand of bourbons, especially the bottled in bond stuff.

Jim Beam is the Bud Light of bourbon. Overrated and nasty. You nailed it Pardner!!
