Just found your channel. For the record, I live in New York ( the state, not the city) and Wild Turkey is almost nowhere to be found. And forget about Rare Breed. You guys are so lucky to just walk in and pick one up.
So close to my list 🤣 1. WT 101 2. Evan Williams Black Label (b/c cheap) 3. OF 1910 *or* Belle Meade Reserve (guest can decide) 4. Four Roses Single Barrel 5. Remus RR V
Everyday- BT Mixer- MM Impress- Rock castle Bourbon (bet nobody has this) Friday night- Smoke wagon small batch Special occasion- don’t have anything really 😕 yet
you two ought to try Hunter & Scott Bourbon from Reservoir Distillery here in Richmond , Virginia !!! ... my brother in Olympia took back his love of the Virginia bourbon back to Washington state and now shares it with family and friends whenever they show up , which is often !!!
I'm a big fan of the Chattanooga 111. Great taste, good price, very versatile bourbon. The roof doesn't smack you in the face, but it's there if you choose to make a cocktail.
Nashville Barrel Co actually will ship to Oregon now! I got a package of a couple ryes and a single barrel bourbon from them a few weeks ago. They use an intermediary to ship, but it was all done from their website.
I’ve just run out of OGD. Need to get another. It was my mixer. I also love the Chattanooga 111 Cask. I tasted it at the distillery. I bought the 99 Rye, as I was there on a cold January weekend.
My current daily drinker is backbone bourbon. It just got into my area. You should find some and try it. I would love seeing Julie’s face when she tries it.
OGD bonded is a great daily sipper, readily available and a good value. Both the Chattanooga 111 and the Rare Breed are definitely great picks for a getting the weekend started.
I could be pretty close here on categories 1-4.For me, OGD 114 is a current fixation. I just grabbed a $12 bottle of Evan Williams BiB to revisit. Over the holidays, a store here in OKC had a stack of Belle Meade Reserve for $30(!!!), and it just kept sitting there...every few days I would be in and I couldn't not get another bottle..I have .several in the closet now. I stan either the Chattanooga 111 or Rare Breed (I feel like for me on some weeks, this is where Stellum or Wilderness Trail (yellow label) would fit. Category 5 is a tough one...but I've got a 7 year Nashville Bourbon Co pick that you've probably inspired me to finally get to...also purchased cuz of Josh & Erin. Cheers!
Great list! Been thinking about grabbing a bottle of the Belle Meade Reserve and this might just convince me to pull the trigger. Always enjoy the content :) Cheers!
I finally got around to the OGD Bonded this year and have been really enjoying its easy drinkability. Love the Willbury tie-in too! Cheers from Eugene, OR.
That 1783 bottle seems to be what mine always looks like. I find myself replacing this bottle probably more frequently than anything else. Before you announced the pairing I was mouthing "Tom Petty...Tom Petty"..and fist pump...Yes...Love that pairing. I've never been a huge concert goer, but this was one I did go to when he was in town in my younger days. Very glad to have the opportunity to see him perform. And just like 1783...his music..always great no matter when you have the opportunity to enjoy it. Cheers!
I share the same opinion on your first 4 selections but to impress for me will be Joseph Magnus Cigar Blend if is not available then I will go to the 4 Roses 2021…
TW Volume 1 is such a classic. I must've listened to it over a thousand times. I remember when they came out and thinking that it really couldn't get any better than that. Hard to believe it's been over 3 decades. Watched a documentary on them recently. Really well produced. R.I.P. Roy, George and Tom. I thought for sure you were going to have your Heaven's Door Single Barrel representing Lucky Wilbury (Bob). Great list nonetheless. Cheers 🥃
All my bourbons are +/- $30 and share one category: bourbons I really like. And our choice here in EU is very limited to be honest. WT101/Rare Breed, Maker's Mark, Eagle Rare, Four Roses SB and.. that's all. For special occasions I keep all kinds of whiskey from all over the world and cognac 😅
@@familyplummer6812 I move between Baltic and Scandinavian countries a lot. From time to time I order something special from whiskeybase, based in Netherlands. But good stuff there gets sold out very quickly. I also shop in Sweden whenever I get a chance, they got reasonable prices, wide variety and even offer Blanton's 😅 Anyway, I enjoy all whiskey and also cognac, so no shortage in variety, but thanks anyway. 🙂
Really enjoyed that one. Huge fan of the Traveling Wilbury’s. I think OG BIB as Roy Orbison is brilliant. To me anything that you drink too much of with a brilliant story on the bottle (aka “lyrics”) that then makes you sing indecipherably would be Bob Dylan. Perhaps Jefferson’s Ocean? Larceny? Bookers? Midwinters Night Dram? Great content as usual.
Highwaymen is a great idea. Best old school whiskeys inspired by old school country. Not a country music fan but you just can't beat some old Waylon Jennings Merle Haggard George Jones Johnny Cash.
Great video! With the exception of the last two "Special Occasion" bottles, I have the rest behind my bar and totally agree that they are wonderful pours, and something to keep on hand. Love the Traveling Wilbury comparisons! However, you need to come up with another bottle for Jim Keltner on the drums! Would love to sit down with you guy's some day to drink bourbon and talk music! :-)
@@TheBourbonVan My thoughts on this :-) Since Jim Keltner was both a drummer, who is the strength and backbone of a band, and also also an in demand studio musician who needed to be flexible and adapt to any musical situation, I think his bourbons should have some muscle and complexity to them, and be a bit higher proof for some backbone, while also be perfect as a neat pour or on the rocks, while adapting easily to most any cocktail with their flavors out front and noticeable. My choices could be Old Forester 1920, New Riff Bourbon, Wild Turkey Rare Breed or Russell's Reserve Single Barrel. If you want to include a Rye, I think Pikesville would be a good choice as well. Then there is Dhani Harrison, while not an official "Wilbury," he did tour with Jeff Lynn and ELO, playing his Dad's Wilbury songs. Dhani was an acoustic guitar player, and kind of a soft spoken, easy to get along with person who fit into any situation, but never out front or in the limelight, but more of a supporting musician. For him, I think his bourbons should be lower proof, easy to drink and adaptable to any cocktail. For Dhani, some of my choices would be Makers Mark, Buffalo Trace, Jim Beam Black label or Old Forester 86. What would your choices be for these guy's? This is fun!
We’ve only tried single barrels, but we trust that they choose great barrels. We have never tried a bad Nashville Barrel bottling and we’ve had 7 of them.
i called the geoff Lynne pairing..lol great video...so when you are thinking bout the rare breed....are you humming..." I got my mind set on you ...LOL
Nice picks, guys! Need to get on that BM Res and the 4Roses of course. That'd be a pipedream in these parts. Care to share what you paid for it? Cheers!
We're terrible at mixology, but here goes. Grab a rocks glass and... - 2oz Evan Williams 1783 - 1 small splash of real maple syrup (1/2 teaspoon-ish) - 2 shakes of Black Walnut bitters - stir, add large ice cube, and enjoy.
Great choices, Phil and Julie. You know I love Belle Meade Reserve; it's my special drink also along with Smoke Wagon Small Batch. I love sharing Belle Meade and the cover story of the horse on the label. The horse on the right is Bonnie Scotland, born in England , came to Nashville to the Belle Meade Plantation in 1872. The list of race horses who come from Bonnie Scotland's down line include: Man of War, Sea Biscuit, Secretariat, Seattle Slew, Affirmed and others. Not too bad, right? The horse on the right with the fiery mane is of little significance except for his name "Brown Dick". I don't know how he got his name; I can only imagine. They used to put the name of the horses on the bottle, but stopped doing that for obvious reasons. A great bourbon to sip with special friends and a great story to tell while sipping.
The horse story is one of our favorites to share too! The slow delivery when you finally declare the horse on the left's name always stuns people. Cheers, Geno!
Wait, really? We haven't heard that. The old Cask Strength Reserve bottle has been discontinued for a while and this 108.3 proof bottle replaced that. It would be a shame if this bottle went away.
I’d like to see a video about which bourbons are similar I love some bourbons and dislike some. But I haven’t tried all obviously, if you could say which ones are similar it would be helpful. For example, I can’t stand Elijah Craig small batch, I love Wild Turkey 101.
Good call on the Chattanooga ,I'd be on the love side of Dylan and his juices aren't to bad either im a big John Prine fan too RIP .Highway Men legendary and I'm not a big country fan especially not this new country pop but ill throw that video on my bar system and I swear the Bourbon tastes better that or some blues..keep up the good work 👏
@@TheBourbonVan I had the horrible misfortune of being a Cubs fan growing up, maybe his greatest line ever from the Dying Wish Of A Cubs Fan maybe not verbatim but you the living are stuck here with the Cubs it's me who should feel sorry for you, Was never able to verify this but rumor was he knew he was dying, ,can't imagine how much more Goodman could have done had he not passed,unlike Bob those two didn't take themselves to seriously so there was a fun quality about them .
I LOVE the Willbury's!! Roy was the greatest voice in rock history! Still can't find Old GD (although I AM an old grandad!). 1783 was my favorite budget bourbon for a few years ( Evan Williams BIB is now). But I still have a handle of 1783 on hand! Do you prefer the 111 to the 91? I can't find either near MSRP here, so I have not tried either yet. By the way, Dylan in 2019 was the worst concert I have seen in 50 years. Great music, worst show ever.
There are multiple ways to look at this question. If you're early on in your whiskey journey, the Belle Meade is probably more approachable. If you're looking to take your first foray into barrel proof whiskey, 1920 is a great entry point. It also depends heavily on palate preference. 1920 is more fruit-forward in our opinion, while Belle Meade has a richer oak and vanilla profile. Either way, we'd love to hear your thoughts on the bottle you pick up!
@@TheBourbonVan thank you for the recommendation...unfortunately both were sold out but was surprised they had a barrel seagrass...ended up picking up that up as well as a john j bowman single barrel. really enjoyed the john j bowman. not sure if you guys have access to it. i wouldn't mind to send a bottle for you guys to review. love the channel and learning a lot..

Don’t know which was best- Julie picking Chatt 111, not sharing it with Phil or confusing the Willburys with the Highwaymen. All of the above 😂.
So close to my list 🤣

4. Four Roses Single Barrel
5. Remus RR V
Phil very nearly put RR V on his list for special occasion pour as well!
Everyday- BT

Impress- Rock castle Bourbon (bet nobody has this)
Friday night- Smoke wagon small batch
Special occasion- don’t have anything really 😕 yet

You said it. Cheers, Paul.
Love this new list. Looking forward to trying some of these. Cheers
Chattanooga 111 is fantastic! One of my new standards. Spot on! 🥃
Nashville Barrel Co actually will ship to Oregon now! I got a package of a couple ryes and a single barrel bourbon from them a few weeks ago. They use an intermediary to ship, but it was all done from their website.
No kidding? It's still a special occasion bottle for now, but that's great news! Oregon's alcohol shipping rules get weirder all the time.
I’ve seen it here in Washington State at QFC.

The Bourbon Van matching bourbon with WHEEL BEARINGS!!!????? .........OHHHHHH.....Wilbury!!!!!!
My current daily drinker is backbone bourbon. It just got into my area. You should find some and try it. I would love seeing Julie’s face when she tries it.
Haven’t seen it yet. We’ll keep an eye out.
So many good bourbons here! Thanks for sharing. Cheers!
OGD bonded is a great daily sipper, readily available and a good value. Both the Chattanooga 111 and the Rare Breed are definitely great picks for a getting the weekend started.
Bourbon, Whiskey, Traveling Wilburys. A synergy of merging elements for all to enjoy! Another outstanding episode! Cheers!🥃🥃
We probably talked more nonsense than necessary, but this one was a lot of fun for us!

Great job guys.

Great show. Great list. Great advice. Its great. Belle meade is tasty. Rare breed so nice. Makers 46 right there as well. Grab the coy hill cmon man.
love the list, need to try a few
looking forward to it
That EW 1783 is just too good of a value
It's outstanding. We ran out again last week. It's probably the bottle we purchase more often than anything else.
Step Brothers. Classic. So much more room for activities. 🤣🤣🤣
Highwaymen is a great idea. Best old school whiskeys inspired by old school country. Not a country music fan but you just can't beat some old Waylon Jennings Merle Haggard George Jones Johnny Cash.
Waylon is Phil's all-time favorite country musician. Soon!

Really good!
Awesome list! More surprised by hearing the Traveling Wilburys mentioned these days! Tom Petty has always been my favorite musician in general.
Haha, we aim to please here at The Bourbon Van.
Love the list and not to brag, but I guessed all the "Wilbury equivalents" correctly...
That's totally worth a brag!
What are your thoughts on the Nashville Barrel Small Batch Rye? Saw a couple bottles over the weekend. Curious.
We’ve only tried single barrels, but we trust that they choose great barrels. We have never tried a bad Nashville Barrel bottling and we’ve had 7 of them.
Nice list and well done video, cheers 🍻
I love you guys. Great humor and great reviews of awesome bourbon. Huge fan!
Hold on guys!! Tom Petty is WAY WAY WAY beyond EW 1783. Great fun video - love OGD 100 and OF Signature 100 is right there with it.
Haha, you’re right! Cheers, Paul.

With a proof like that, I prefer Handle with Care!
OK, what's the recipe for that Maple Walnut Old-Fashioned? Sounds like a great winter cocktail.
Speaking of taking away Belle Meade, guess Nelson's Green Brier Distillery beat you to the punch.
Our timing on this one was impeccable.
Jeff Lynne! My favorite Wilbury.
Same! May need to try that BMR now!
Nooga 111 is sooooo underrated. Great pic
Great list! That Maple Walnut Old Fashioned sounds amazing. Have a specific recipe y’all follow? :)

That 4 Roses LE was $160 here locally. We don't usually spend that much on whiskey, but even we agreed that it was worth the money.
