Bonding Over Bourbon
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 3 ส.ค. 2023
There's a lot of whiskey out there, just waiting to be found, and we'll help you find it.
On Bonding Over Bourbon, we go around hunting bottles, highlighting liquor stores, and showing you everything they've got - the good, the bad, the often overlooked, and the allocated. Join two native Chicagoans (Chris & Kat) as we drive from store to store, and from city to city, in search of killer deals and showing you where to find them. Our videos have inspired people to drive cross-country in search of their favorite unicorns, and we spark excitement in those fortunate enough to drive home with the bottle of their dreams. When we're not hunting for bottles, we like to decode the mystery and legacy behind legendary distilleries and the products that they make.
At the end of the day, the squeeze of the juice inside of the bottle is only as good as the story packed into it. So crack open your favorite bottle, grab yourself a pour, and join us. After all, life's too short to not enjoy it.

With allocation season upon us, these tips won't guarantee that you get everything that you want, but it will certainly make it easier. Join this channel to get access to perks: th-cam.com/...

Douglas Laing puts out blends for each region in Scotland called Remarkable Regional Malts. Epicurean is the Lowlands and Rock Oyster is the Islands. Timorous Beastie which has a mouse on the bottle is considered by many to be the best. It's the Highlands blend. All of these are blend malts so there is no grain whisky in them. They're good for the price.
This is very helpful information. Thanks for sharing!
12 point is a hard bottle to find at a retailer from what I understand. Brewzele mentioned it in 1 of his videos.
Damn. Hopefully we can find it again in the future.
Seeing that Russell's 15 was kind of surprising in a little store.
Absolutely was a surprise to us too
They wanted 750 for rr15 when I was in there a month or so ago 😮 Sunnys
Oh yeah, forgot about the price tag.
Great video. Cedar Ridge has some good offerings. I got the Barrel Proof for $36 at Binny’s and it is good. I was able to get a Cedar Ridge pick from Bourbon Hunter and it is like its name, a Vanilla Bomb. No mention of Russell’s Reserve 15 sitting on the shelf at a little store like that? 🥃
Thanks for watching! Looks like we'll have to try Cedar Ridge soon then. Haha I guess I did miss the opportunity to talk about more stuff behind the counter. I just try not to clutter up the video with too much voiceover.
Hi! $70 and $80 for Bombs and Shenk’s?? Holy cow! Retail is $120 and$110 respectively. Thanks for the content.
My neck damn near broke from turning my head so fast when they gave me those prices. Thanks for watching!
Lol @ ehtsib cheaper than small batch
9:09 run away from that store lol
Regarding that Kentucky Spirit, Isn't their B warehouse part of Tyrone?
What's the other store you mentioned that you found those items that at MSRP
Great video! I found a OF SBBS Whse K Floor 7 pick. Soooo good! Keep up the good work! 🥃
So jealous! One of our locals is getting a pick soon we're hoping to get something more like yours.
@@BondingOverBourbon Awesome! It won't disappoint.
First time watching... Love it!! You guys are awesome, because you remind me of myself.
Hahah glad you can relate. Thanks for watching!
Great video, minus the grandma techno music
What do you mean by that?
Don't be so hard on yourself. I think you always do a good job. Go out there and find what you love because you guys seem to love what you're doing and I love that and I love your channel. Your candid banter between each other. Very honest. Thanks for being who you are. Enjoy all your bourbon. I wish I was there !!!!!!!
Thanks for being so supportive! We never shy away from making fun of ourselves in an effort to not take ourselves too seriously. I'm glad it comes through during the videos.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing. You have tons of great bottles. Awesome video 🥃🥃🥃
Thanks for watching, my friend! September might beat this one 🤞
@@BondingOverBourbon 😂 I definitely understand.. it hard to not buy and hunt for something. 😂
What happen after ur joe visit?
I had to pick up those Benchmark FP and SiB's when I passed through Indiana. Amazing for the price. Early Times, very close friend Ryan Hallberg gave me a black cap and I adore it. I'll need to pick up that Ancient Age. New Riff SiB is very tasty. I've only had the Origin and Old Fo from your mid-range bottles. I love seeing the variety. This and next month are HUGE! Cheers.
Thanks for watching, Tom. Let us know if you need any help finding anything out there.
Love D&D. Harry is wonderful!
I was able to get 3 Weller 12 bottles for $49.95 each. I need to join a group bc I have an extra bottle of 1792 sweet wheat & aged 12 to trade. I didn't enjoy them as much as 1792 BiB and SB.
Hit us up via email. The address is on our profile page.
Great haul!!! Didn’t know Kentucky Spirit was being discontinued. Need to stock up now! I hope the heavens open up for me on the Weller 12 when out in your neck of the country but agree on MSRP pricing!
I've got something waiting for you, don't you worry.
I need to check out D & D. I am ashamed of myself for my August haul. September hasn’t started well either. Bought 4 bottles yesterday! Look forward to your next live so I can participate for the first time. Weller 12 drop hit all at once out her in the NW burbs.
Haha I feel that. I think we already have 8 bottles that we bought on the 1st lol. We'd be happy to have you on the live!
Some of those beers were super old
I missed the last Ice Wine finished. I hope binnys gets it across their stores. I'm in Kane Co. I'm hoping Garfields gets the Peerless Cognac bc binnys never seems to have the other Peerless bottles.
We've noticed that, too. For whatever reason Binny's just doesn't carry a lot of the Peerless stuff. Good luck! Hope you can find it.
I stopped in there today to pickup a bottle of Dettling.
Such a solid pour! Great choice.
LIMESTONE 😊
Thanks for watching the video. In order to be able to participate in the giveaway, you have to be on one of our livestream shows. We hope to see you there next time.
I did a tour at Judson and Moore last year,it was a good tour,i look forward to trying their product once it gets some more age
Agree 100%. Their stuff keeps getting better with age, but it still needs a bit more time. Maybe 2-3 additional years.
I had to pull up and cop a Dettling and a Redwood Empire Pipe Dream Cask Strength. Talked to the owner and mentioned this video, super cool guy. It’s close to home,so I’ll be back.
Love to hear that! I'm glad you didn't have to go far to find some stuff you were looking for.
To me MM 46 is the least favorite bourbon in my collection.... Blah!
LIMESTONE
The giveaways are during the lives only but turn into our next live this Thursday!
Just wow
I cant find Russell 13 anywhere in my Chicagoland suburbs and this place has a whole row sitting in their basement. Seems like the owner just wants to showoff and price out/horde out the competition
that was a pretty good store . some prices were great. had some things that im looking for also . Thanks for sharing . 💯
What caught your eye?
Love seeing your channel grow. Keep up the good content.
Thanks Tom! Appreciate your support and feedback.
That RR PS just seating there!
Better grab 'em before it's gone!
@@BondingOverBourbon its over an hour for me, but I’m still thinking about it haha.
Fantastic video! Amazing store!
Loch Lomond does a great variety of whisky all of which I have found to be very good, if you fancy trying something a little different but still excellent could I recommend the Indri Trini one of my favourites
There’s always another good bottle out there….good stuff & happy hunting!
Thanks for watching!
I believe the redwood cask contains sourced whiskey along with their own distillate. The bonded series is their whiskey 100%
Another great video...prices are amazing...cheers folks
Appreciate you, Rusty!
I drive down from Milwaukee to go to D&D. Owner is really nice as well. Found them for Dettling, and actually picked up some really nice Indian Single malt while I was there. I wish it was closer!
thing is might go check that place out tomorrow and grab a couple bottles. they have multiple ive been looking out for
What's on your list?
Fantastic Peerless lineup - send some to Atlanta please! Thanks for the great video guys
Thanks for watching! Hopefully you start to see some in your market soon.
That’s right down the road. Definitely gonna make a stop there.
Happy to be of service 🫡
The reason why redwood cat strength is cheaper then bonded is cause it’s younger. Cast strength is 2 and a half years old like the basic offerings the bonded by law is obviously 4 years old. That’s why bonded is more and the same situation with Still Austin
Those Redwood bottles are only 2 years old, and it tastes that good? It's crazy that a few years ago people would have turned their nose up to a 2 year old cask strength.
Good Scotch selection but the prices are little high. Springbank 10 I see for $90 - $95 most places. Same with the Kilkerran 12 year. The Kilchoman 100% Islay Barley is a $110 bottle in the NorthEast. Maybe that's why the selection is so good. However if you can't find them cheaper it's not so much more that I wouldn't buy them. Those Campbeltown bottles are some of the greatest Scotch whiskies available today. Even their IB brand has been killing it recently. That Loch Lomond by the way is the next hot distillery. It's cheap and very different. Well worth checking out
Can you tell us a little bit more about Lamond?
I had a store pick of the Hughes Belle of Bedford straight rye. It was $70 and good for that but not good enough for me to replace it when it was gone. I sometimes see it on the shelf for significantly more and would not pay up for it. The reviews are great but I've had a lot of Sagamore and New Riff ryes that were better.
That's a bummer. We've seen people really geek out for it, but we never immediately truly the hype train.
I think the Bonded Redwood Empire is more expensive than the CS because the Bonded is sourced, but the CS is their own. Great video and store. 🥃
Interesting. Have you done a side by side for any of the cs vs bib?
Bonded comes at a higher price than cask from supplier side New batch of grizzly beast got so much better. Worth a try
We'll have to give it a shot!
@@BondingOverBourbon I haven't. When I saw the CS less than the Bonded. I didn't look for the Bonded anymore.
Dettlings just sitting on the shelf?!? 🫣 That would have gone home with me for sure, never will see that in michigan 🤔 Cheers 🥃
We receive a good amount of dettling cask strength regularly. If you don't find it we usually have it
That Four Roses sampler for $95 would have been a pick-up for sure! Same with that Dettling single barrel and the Ben Holladay soft red wheat rickhouse proof. I'd have maxed out my budget on that one endcap!
Right!? Pretty great store overall. We're happy to have found it.
Great selection and prices. I like Bourbon County Stout and cannot believe they are selling some at $2.99. 🥃
Soooo cheap!
D&D is my local shop and Harry is a great guy with an awesome store! They do tastings and bottle releases there occasionally as well! The store/group pick of the Peerless DO Rye is very good too, supposed to be the first in the state.
We didn't get a chance to meet Harry yet, but he's reached out and wants to meet. Seems like a really solid dude!
Thanks 👍
