- In an effort to not turn your living room into a Bourbon Bunker filled to the nines with bottles, we bring you 12(ish) Bourbons to have on your bar cart. This list is made with availability, price, and well-rounded function in mind, so if you don't see one of your favorites on here, we probably have a reason for it. That being said, selection is subjective, and we would love to hear what you keep on your bar cart!

I love how they both definitely have a buzz going
Love you guys! Y'all helped me start with Bourbon three years ago. Great cart....cool that y'all had Old Grand Dad 114 on your cart.
Old Grand Dad BIB is worth trying also.
I really like the Elijah Craig, 4 roses & just recently snagged a bottle of Weller's--yum!
ftbuddy edgy Sad
Four Roses single barrel is excellent
Too bad Elijah Craig 12 year old is gone
This is my favorite bourbon review video. It inspired me to get into bourbons, buy a bar cart, and fill it with many of the bourbons they recommended.
I need a bar cart first.... 😎
My first bourbon experience was back in 2013. Started out with Wild Turkey 101. Excellent whiskey, and I've been through more bottles of that than I have with the others in my cabinet.
@@elijahfluw4347 Now that's the million dollar question, isn't it?
@@BloodySawBladeMY first bourbon experience was also with WT101! I was 16 and I swiped most of a bottle that had been leftover from a party my family had. It was really something how easy that went down, just swigging it from the bottle while sitting on the back of my friend's speedboat which was docked in a marina at night. Until about 90 minutes later when I was heaving something fierce over the side.
@@BigBadJerryRogers haha i can totally relate, similar situation! Thanks 4 the blast from the past!! :)
I was 14 when friends and I got into their parents makers mark. Never really been a fan. But I drank too much of it. I like Elijah Craig Small Batch. And Basil Hayden Toast.
I’m in New Jersey and many of the bourbons on your cart are favorites of mine. Just a side note to Sara, in 2018 I found only bottles of Henry McKenna Bottled in Bond but in 2019 I bought 16 bottles ! It was in heaven.🥃
Lots of fun energy in your videos and a lot of good information. I'm a scotch lover who is trying to try more bourbon. Loved your live with Aqvavitae. The ECSB and Woodford are my favorite of the ones of these I've tried.
McKenna is a great value!! Found it at a local grocery store for $26 pretty sure I ended up buying like 5 of the 6 bottles they had over a period of time.
Great price.
ooooooooooooooo9pppkppkppop ol lo ok ok o lo ok op ok I poop poopo I ooppp9990⁰09099000
Paid $11 for WT101 at my local Trader Joe’s. What a steal!
This is a great piece still today, that is so informative, and the selections are dead on. Made me wait until the end of the video for a rye which is Pikesville. It's my favorite whiskey right now, always available in MD for ~ $50 and I just love it.
I agree with all but 3. I’ve been to a few of these. I 100% love the fact that you stayed true to KY. I’d love to get together and talk bourbon.
Super, super, solid list here. And I love the concept, of having a selection out rather than leading the uninitiated into your whisk(e)y vault, ha ha. I've got most of these, but you have piqued my interest on a few I've overlooked -like the Pikesville Rye, the new Small Batch Select, and the EW 1783. Never had any of those yet. Cheers!
Fantastic list. I endorse every selection and have most of these myself!
Great video! Some very solid, practical choices here. And I'm glad you factored in availability and didn't suggest anything crazy to add to your cart. Thanks!
Thank you!
Great episode. Congrats on 3 years since episode 1. Amazing how many are on my bar currently. May need to get a bar cart.
I think we have 3 bar carts in total. hahaha
It's so crazy how different states can find different whiskey's easier than others. There's more eagle rare and ECBP up here at retail price than there is Mckenna or OGD 114. We are so madly in love with OF 1920 and Rare breed it's crazy! Solid whiskeys on that list for sure. Cheers!
For the love of Pete can you buy me a bottle of Eagle rare and I'll cash app you?? Lol
So cool! I have all but one of these on my shelf. Guess I’ll need to buy a bar cart now. Great video.
In Michigan we have several local distilleries but one I am quite fond of is Grand Traverse. They have a cherry whiskey that is based with their bourbon and combined with cherry juice from one of the local cherry farms (I mean it's Michigan, cherries are kind of our thing) and I pick up a fifth of it every chance I get! So that would go on my bar cart :-)
I would love to see y'all make a video about your "balls-to-the-wall, money is no option, best possible" ultimate 12 bourbons bar cart.
Great vid, guys! Agree with you all around the cart. 1783 is a workhorse and one of the best values in the store. It wins a lot of blind tastings I do with friends. EC has become my go-to daily sipper and Rare Breed is where I turn when I need some big flavors!
Love that you had 2 Evan Williams choices! I find Ezra Brooks Rye is CHEAP and makes a better Old Fashion than many top shelf bourbons. It's a bourbon that you can afford to intoxicate a large group with ease.
So far out of all those, I love the Wild Turkey Rarw Bread, I've tried 80% of the selection and all time favorite is the Rare Bread, hands down
Dude, so true! But what can we do to save it from the taters?
Thanks for mentioning the O G 114. Great stuff for the price.
Hands down Eagle Rare is my go to. Aged 10 years and under $40. Solid go to! Four Roses, Wild Turkey 101 is another good one and Jim Beam Devils Cut
Eagle Rare is my favorite but it's ridiculously difficult to find in Virginia
Allocation is interesting; here in New England I see way more Eagle Rare than Buffalo Trace.
In summer of 2019 Sams Club in Myrtle Beach had a ton of ER at $26.
I'm glad and thrilled to have seen Old Grand Dad make the cut on your bar cart. I loved drinking Old Grand Dad back in the days growing up and working in a liquor store. I was a little saddened that Old Crow, another true favorite of mine, did not make the cut. I would surely add Old Crow in my cart alongside Old Grand Dad.
Thank you for doing this. I went shopping today and bought 5 bottles on the list. I feel so dumb for passing up WT 101 all these years. Sipping it rt now. 🥃
WT 101 is crazy good for the money. (Also check out Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. It's $17-ish in MA.)
You guys have gotten me on the Elijah Craig Small Batch train of late. Like you said, just a rock solid bourbon for any occasion. I'm a believer.
Ben Friend
Elijah Craig is so tasty. Plus the bottle is so easy to pour. No splash.
I was drinking Elijah Craig while watching this video....😁
Dang I was thinking 1783 but was surprised you picked it. It's a great "new to bourbon, go easy on me" choice.
I've been drinking scotch single malts and they're great. After watching this video I'm going to try your bourbon selection. Don't know how much I might have missed.
I totally agree with your Old Forester choice. My choice would be Old Forestor Sifnature 100 proof at 25 dollars and it's got a great flavor.
To share with friends, yes....to have for yourself, the 1920 is one of my favorites. OF 1920 is also a bit pricey to be sharing...especially if you're cheap like I am...LOL
I just had some OF 💯 last night with a splash of Islay single malt scotch whisky to add some smokiness to the sweet bourbon. I call it a Forest Fire. Delicious! 😄🥃
Great choices guys ! I’d like to add my personal go to bourbon to your cart. You cannot go wrong with Bulleit bourbon. Great all around taste at a reasonable price. 🥃🥃🥃
I was waiting for that too 😉
This
Sadly, I live in France where my selection of bourbons are limited. But I truly enjoyed your video. Next trip to the states I’ll smuggle back a bar cart....filled..;-)
Is it really that hard? Even with online shops? (Not implying, just asking coz really curious, mon friend. :) )
SO glad i ran into this video! You two are right on!
Hey guys Great Presentation!!
I'm a bourbon man through and through, really enjoyed your video & look forward to trying a few new ones!
Salute friends, St Lou out. 🍷
Great selection i must be doing it right cause im stocked on every one
I really dig the Old Grand Dad Bonded for under $25 (East TN). It's my "works in public education" Basil Haydens. I used to love Eagle Rare but it really live up to its name these days...
OGD BIB is my go to for mixed drinks and OGD 114 is my go to for neat.
Did a bourbon tour in TN and KY. Went to a small distillery and it's brand one first place several years ago. Pritchards single barrel whiskey. About $90.00 per bottle. Well worth it. Very smooth.
Thank you for the recommendations. The journey will be fun.
I love the picks. I have a store i can get buffalo trace, eagle rare, blantons and sometimes weller
Where are you located?
Bought the 1920 yesterday. I love it!
Oh man that stuff is one of my favorite pours atm! Wish it was a tad cheaper though...
I had a bottle of Woodford Reserve that I purchased
In 1992. The name on the bottle was Lincoln Henderson. I saved it for my wife and I share after our 30 year anniversary. We had that in 2019. One word. Unforgettable.
I honestly didn’t think you’d have the Evan Williams on there. The BiB is amazing. Best value I’ve found anywhere. $13. Seriously, beat that! Love that you have those bottles on there, true sign of a bourbon lover.
Here in Tennessee we have Chattanooga Whiskey now, which they’re starting to release their own spirit now! But even just their MGP finished in local beer barrels is some fantastic stuff.
Lizzy Williams agree Chattanooga’s Barrel proof is nectar of the gods
Lizzy Williams I agree. I’ve had a few of the 1816 offerings (including the beer barrel finished ones) and liked all of them. Good whiskey!
@@tldhthompson We travel to Chattanooga once a year and I was lucky to get to try the new 91 and 111 varieties. I was really impressed by the new stuff considering it's barely over two years old. I loved the 1816 offerings.
This is hilarious I actually have every bottle you two chose 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I guess I'm sitting pretty good from you guys standards.
Totally!
ah good video, glad woodford was first, and was happy to see wild turkey on the shelf ...
Thanks for a great video!!!! Now I have a shopping list ready to go. I have 4 of the 12 already, will fill it out soon.
Old Forester Rye is my FAVORITE for an Old Fashioned. Just mixes so great and for $22 for a 1 ltr bottle out here, you can't beat that price. Pretty much most of the stuff you put on that cart I have tried as well, but there are a few that I have been holding off on. Also, if you do like ice in the hot summer months, the Evan Williams Bottled in Bond is really good over ice. I kinda stumbled on the channel myself and I will be back to check out more for sure! Even added a sub to make it easier to check out more
Oh another fun one to include has been anything from the Redemption line. Little higher proof on most, but they make really good bourbon and rye. Recently they released a high wheat bourbon as well. That one is a bit higher in price, but most stick around $30 for 46% abv (96 proof).
(Shhh - this stuff is getting hard to find)
Don't listen to this guy, Old Forester rye is garbage. If you make the mistake of buying this swill, I will save you the trouble of pouring it down your drain, just send it to me.
@@ncyankee101 Hahaha. Ya. I was sad that they stopped the 1 ltr release near where I live. 1 ltr for $22 at 100 proof. Such a good deal!
I have most of these on my bar cart. Old Forester 1920 is hard to find in my area, but I'm a huge fan of their regular 86 proof bourbon. It's not the best at anything but it does everything very, very well. It has a permanent spot on my bar cart (along with Wild Turkey 101, Eliza Craig small batch and Buffalo Trace), and always a reserve bottle on the lower shelves. My current bar cart has the following:
1) Old Forester 86 proof
2) Russell's reserve 10 year. (drinking this as I type)
3) Buffalo Trace
4) Jack Daniels
5) Jack Daniels Single Barrel Barrel proof (135 proof)
6) Knob Creek single barrel reserve (120 proof)
7) Jack Daniels Rye
8) Dewars White Label (I like scotch, sometimes. Nothing fancy)
9) Ezra Brooks 90 proof
10) Eliza Craig Small Batch (94 proof)
11) Evan Williams 1783
12) Makers Mark
13) Crown Royal
14) Wild Turkey 101
15) Bulleit Rye (the spiciest whiskey I know of. Fantastic, if in the mood)
A great video. I cannot take any exception to any of your recommendations. We are fortunate to have several big box spirit stores with good selections and decent prices. But sometimes, some recommendations such as Old Grand Dad 114 are no where to be found. H.L Weller Special Reserve is also difficult. But your list will please the palate of any bourbon drinker, old and new. I especially appreciated your recommendation of Larceny in place of Maker's Mark. Marker's was the first decent bourbon I sampled three decades ago. It is always a good go to bourbon if you are at a bar with a limited bourbon selection. But Larceny is an especially fine, drinkable bourbon for much less than Makers. Personally I like the higher proof offerings, and if I could have added one, it would have been a Booker. But an excellent selection all around.
Thanks for the great video. I had Bulleit, Buffalo Trace and Woodford Reserve. Just picked up my first bottle of Henry McKenna today.
Four Roses bourbon was the best drink served during New Year's Eve👌
Just picked up an old grandad 114, it’s just badass
It. Is. Awesome.
And great value.
Since I agree with all of them, I cannot believe you didn't pick my absolute favourite! My heart literally skips a beat when I see Maker's Mark on the bar shelf. That's Old Fashioned ordered even before I come through the door.
Romysh Bellucci yes Makers belongs on any bar!
You two make a great couple. Great personalities and well spoken. I don't see wedding rings. Life's too short, make it happen love birds.
Knob Creek barrel picks are incredible.
Yessir!!! Also my daily driver 100 proof its damn good.
I concour
Also, Jim Beam Single Barrel is one of my everyday sippers. Just over $30 in my area.
Another great video! I live in a small town in Iowa. Any great selection of whiskey is a half hour to an hour away. Most of these are not readily available. It has gotten better though over the past few years. We’ve got BT and Eagle rare. One of the stores recently got 2 bottles of stagg jr. I about fell over when I saw that! Love these videos!🥃
Great video ... Informative... Entertaining... I am glad to concur on most of your picks... the ones that I didn't agree with are only because I haven't tried them yet. Now I'm looking forward to trying them as well. Thanks
Thanks!
Challenge accepted. Found blantons, EH taylor, eagle rare, and weller antique in one stop at my local store. God Bless TN. and yes. It was MSRP
Score!
When I was still a Bourbon rookie, I walked into a Grocery Store offshoot near me. Kind of a ghetto grocery store/pharmacy on a much smaller scale of the parent company. To my surprise, they had 4 bottle of Blanton's. I'd heard this was good stuff, so I bought a bottle for $40. I ran through it pretty quickly. A friend of mine actually drove to Lexington KY just to buy a bottle of Blanton's, but they didn't have any for sale. I said I'd check my little spot in the hood to see if they had any....low and behold they did....4 bottles, I bought 2, gave one to him. He felt stupid. I'm going back there today to see if they still have it....if they do I'll buy all they have.
Aaron McVay you need to start a business flipping blantons
@@williamsheppard2026 I'd be too scared to part with any bottles...I've only got 1 un-opened left.
Great vid. Love the selections. I’m a Buffalo Trace guy. Glad to have some other choices
Thank y’all just learning about bourbons and y’all are so fun to watch
Thanks for putting this together. I now realize that I need a bar cart.
Yes. You do.
The Bourbon Diaries how does one get it up and down the stairs with the bottles on there..?
Koge pet sounds like you need two carts. You could have different bottles on each 😝
For the price, I am a big fan of Bulliet. I can still get it for $28 US. Their Barrel proof is fantastic too, but its over twice the price and hard to find.
Bulliet rye is great.
Excellent choices, a few new for me too. Well done!
You guys make me want to try them all!✌🏼
1920 One of my favorites right now hands down
This was great! Thanks for a down to earth recommendation. You’ve got some really nice picks on there that are personal favorites.
Just want to say, I have Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare, Blanton's, Weller, & 10 yr Old Van Winkle. And yes, all at MSRP. Really got lucky on the Weller and Van Winkle.And great video. Thanks
I was happy to see ancient age on your shelf. It's surprisingly good for a $10 bourbon. Being from Woodford county, I enjoyed your first pic. Overall, there are only 25 different bourbons on my shelf.
Great Video... You should have said.. "But wait.. THERE'S MORE!!"
BigAceMe you must like Jaw Tooth!
Great idea. The last thing you want is for a guest to point at your hard-won, expensive / discontinued bottle and asking to sample it.
Because we all have that friend. Hey, let me taste that... Proceeds to drink half the bottle.
Great review. For sure you’ve got some great picks. Yes, Basil Hayden will always be on my cart, as it’s just a solid pick for me.
I've largely been a guy who drinks almost nothing but Maker's Mark. Based on a few of y'all's videos, I made a few new selections today. Old Forrester 86, Elijah Craig Small Batch, Buffalo Trace, Four Roses Single Barrel, Evan Williams BIB, E.H. Taylor Small Batch, and a guy at the store suggested I try Wilderness Trail BIB based on what I was already toting around. Should be fun!
I'm creating a men's lounge. And bourbon is what I really prefer I'm definitely putting those on my shelf you've selected thanks 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
What how many burbons are you looking at putting down there.
I see what these guys are saying but it's a broad category. So much good stuff there is some better items they missed
The Evan Williams bottle in bond excellent value!
guezcisco only $17.99 in Michigan!!
Indeed it is good bourbon. My go to bourbons are Old Crow, Evan Williams/ Bonded.
Fantastic video. I was looking for a mixer bourbon and just picked up a bottle of Old Grand-Dad 114. What a fabulous pick! $29.99 in Northeastern Ohio so it won't break the bank, as well great choice with Diet or your favorite pairing. Cheers!
Really great choices! I couldn’t put the Old Forester on the cart, that stays hidden. Great bottle!
I was surprised when I didn't see any Bulliet on the cart but then I saw... it's not event on the wall?! Good day sir!
I believe the Bulleit is reserved for the "other" cart. You know, for the aristocrat.
Love me some Tattoo Edition!
If you carrying 12 bourbons in your bar cart, it’s no longer a bar cart, it’s become an actual bar.
😂😂 So true!
😂
What is a bar cart if not a bar that’s on wheels! Haha
You guys are awesome and I agree all those picks are great 👍 although if it's over $35 a bottle I usually save it for my more discerning bourbon drinking friends. If I'm having a party and I'm mixing alot of bourbon drinks I will say Evan Williams black label or Ancient Age for mixing but Evan Williams bottled in bond and Elijah Craig are staples in my collection ☺
I agree with just about everything on your cart, guys! Great picks! The only one I'd change is Evan Williams Single Barrel for your 1783. Never was a fan of the 1783, but I LOVE all the other Evan Williams, so a readily available single barrel would have been my choice. But fyi, I picked up a Total Wine & More store pick (Louisville) Knob Creek SB the other day that is 14 years old, and OMG! Exceptional Mouthfeel! Lol
McKenna - (buy for a friend)
Buffalo trace - (drink neat)
Elijah Craig- (neat/rock or cocktail)
Wild Turkey 101- (boozy cocktails)
Old Grand dad - (old time classic)
For me buffalo is very overrated and cant drink neat. Agree on everyone else! Find the faves!
Got to admit. I agreed with all of these. Solid round up of bourbons. I would probably include at least 1 like upper eschelon... maybe a Bookers, Basil's, etc.
I see a bottle of Kentucky Vintage mid shelf to my left. Solid choice under $40! Try it!
Okay, I thought I enjoyed your videos, casually dropping in and out. but this list?! 👏👏👏 solid!! loving the Bourbon/Ramones parody T-shirts too!!!! The best gift from me to me for 2020!
Knob Creek single barrel has become my favorite bourbon under $100. Great stuff!
Same. Best bang for the buck in the bourbon world imo. 9 years, single Barrell, basically barrel proof, and big bold flavors? Yes, please.
What the title says: "12 Bourbons You Need To Have On Your Bar Cart."
What I learned: I need to have a bar cart.
Likewise. I just told my wife I’m Turing out reading room to a bourbon room
Yah, Im thinkin a bar. Like these two.
😂
@@bodegaboys7475 Turing Out? Better just leave the house alone dude. 😅
@@petemitchell6788 lmbo. Apple auto correct is the dumbest feature lol. I see you needed to edit the message you sent to me.
Was at a supermarket in the liquor aisle when I observed a man walk down the aisle and oblivious to all the choices grabbed a bottle off the shelf and walked away with it. I was able to determine that it was a bottle of Buffalo Trace whiskey. So due to this mans binding selection I also bought a a bottle. Some great whiskey if there ever was great whiskey.
I’m glad you mentioned Ole Forester, 86 proof , it’s a good Old Brand of Whiskey 👍
You would try Yellow Rose Outlaw Bourbon! I love it.
Thanks, good list. Some are getting hard to get as of this date. My everyday drinker is Makers 46 (don't hate on me :) ). KInd of surprised it did not make it on the bar cart, but not totally surprised. Carry on and I look forward to more great videos.
MM 46 is a great shout..a bit pricey however
@@johnhayen278 Yeah, can be I usually pick it up for around $33. in my area, south Wisconsin. I guess it depends on your local, state, federal, carry (and on and on... taxes.
@@doxasnob8137 in NY (the tax king of the USA) it is about 45 a bottle..but very smooth
Great Video, have had all of these with the exception of Larceny, Pikesville and McKenna.
Great video! Thanks for your passion and the education.
Great vid. One thing I think that makes your channel stand apart is the editing. VERY smooth. Keep up the good work Chad!
Thank you!!
This feel like the 90-2000s jewelry show on channel 299. You even have the rotating table display.
So glad I found you! Great recommendations. Cheers.
Enjoying Bardstown. Fusion #2. Picked up Discovery #2. Three thumbs up! Bardstown collaboration w/ Copper King's apple brandy barrel on its way.
