Somewhere along the way, Dillon got fixated on the idea that this $100 bar cart was meant for a young person/college student... which if that was a stipulation, then sure, his cart would probably win. But I don't think it was and broke young college students aren't the only people who might be trying to stock up on a budget (what college student even has a bar cart?). Dutch actually captured the idea of what a bar cart is supposed be for, which is having all the things needed to make an assortment of cocktails.
My first thought was whether Dillion could find a bottle of George T. Stagg for $100. 🤣
Bahahaha, if this was Mr. Dillon's bar cart, that's all it is and he wouldn't care what the price was.
I seriously thought he was going to have one high end whisk(e)y.

I would prefer Dutch's choices as a basic cocktail cart.
I just don't drink those cocktails. 🤷♂️
Sobieski vodka 11, kraken spiced rum 14, Cabo wabo reposado 27, Evan Williams BiB 13, monkey shoulder 23, Gordon's gin 10
Dutch is the winner! Five bucks left for an orange, lemon lime and a cheap jar of cherries.
Hate to say it, but Dutch crushed this! My cart, one bottle: George t stagg...
Dutch killed it. The college kid bar starter kit from Dutch.
I'd be spend on the following: Reyka vodka, Tanqueray gin, John J. Bowman (small batch), Don Q rum, and Lunazul Reposado tequila.
Fun one guys. I think Dutch was on the right track here for this one. But I think I would argue you should pare this down to just one or at most two cocktails (maybe a sweet one and a dry one). Have an editorial viewpoint. Make a drink you really like, with the best ingredients you can afford, and make it well. If you need a ten drink menu, go out to a bar or restaurant for the evening. Getting the best ingredients for that one or two, should also give you one or two base spirits that are very sippable. And you'll have a "house" drink that will entertain your friends. Become the Manhattan Guy or Martini Girl for your circle. For one evening your friends can venture off their beaten path and try your best effort, instead. It might be a bit more fun and broaden their horizons.
Nota cocktail guy, that said was a bartender in my college days...Dutch did it right!
Honestly, I expected Dillon to have one or two bottles and be like "That's my bar cart, if I am drinking it. It's this." I like the choices by everyone but I agree with Dutch with his choices to be able to make cocktails.
Dillon picked 4 things I would actually drink. College students don’t make those cocktails chief. All hail Mr Dillon.
Dutch due to the tequila and of rye. Old forester rye is a must for any value cart. My cart: vodka (who cares) star blue $9, OF Rye $22, Fee brother bitters $7, Bacardi Silver rum $11, Grand Centenetario Blanco Tequila $22, Triple Sec $6, Tanqueray Gin $22
Dutch was pretty fire but if you’re in college I think you’re going with Dillon. I don’t know how many college kids are as knowledgeable about cocktails as Dutch presented for. In my 30’s tho I’m going with Dutch. Impressive.
Dutch, you're missing vodka. I mainly drink tequila and some vodka in cocktails, so I have no input on gin, bourbon, rum, etc. I'll have to try Tito's after I finish a bottle of Grey Goose. My tequila pick for this competition is Olmeca Altos ($18/750ml in my area)...way more sippable than Espolon, less expensive than Arette, and an excellent mixer!
Dutch FTW, but missing the triple sec for margaritas.
Clicked the video, heard the rules, and waited for Dillon to pull out a George T Stagg. 😂
Dutch’s is the most versatile and it is the only true home bar cart. Definitely need the option to make a cocktail!
Dutch’s cart is the best. What college student is going to buy so many hard alcohol bottles.
$20 for ODG? I think Jules is thinking of OGD Bottled In Bond, which is what you should be buying. Base OGD is pretty awful but it's pretty obvious that Dillon went right up to the $100 cutoff.
Tough to decide between these guys. Man I want to choose Jules' cart just because of the Knob Creek Rye, but that's probably a bad judgement call. Dutch's cart is most complete if you're looking at cocktails, but I wouldn't want to sip on most of that stuff (that Gallo vermouth is cheap for a reason). Dillon's is probably the best overall sipper but I gotta dock points for the base OGD.
If I'm taking it from a college student's perspective (which I have not been for many, many years), I guess I have to go with Dutch's bar cart. You're going to get more women drinking from your bar if you can make more cocktails and shooters (college equivalent to "sipping").
Dutch wins. Hands down. I half-expected when Dillon mentioned college bar that I would see Montezuma and Vlad pop up on the bar.
Dutch for the win! This is totally my mom's "bar cart" approach, but it gets the job done. My Negronis alone would eat up most of the $100 with Bombay, Campari, and Antica Carpano...whatever is left goes towards a bottle of whiskey and some bitters. Have you guys read 12 Bottle Bar?
haven't read it - will check it out though!
Great challenge. Awesome arguments all around. Have to give some props to Jules for giving it a pretty good shot.
Ii have to agree with Dillon...he has the best assortment of spirits for a bar cart. Mixes were, I thought, an extra?
Dillon didn't feel safe bringing 6 bottles of stagg for his cart?
Great video! I like all of the choices for various reasons. On entertaining, I probably would not be making Negroni's for our friends. I do not think they would even know what it was. I would think having Martinis, Old Fashions, Margarita's, Screwdrivers, Manhattans, Decent wines, and a few good sippers with Bourbon or Scotch. So, I guess I have to go with Dillon on this one to cover these areas pretty well.
Dutch's cart is my fave. Never seen Arette though, so Dillon is correct there
Cool! You guys did very well with such a tight budget. Video request: $100 bourbon bar cart! Then $100 scotch cart... 🤔🥃. Hmmmmm.... maybe a series, please!!
Great suggestions!! Thanks!
Amazing episode guys
Dillon maybe right for a college student, but the rules didn't specify "college student" and Dutch has the more versatile cart, not to mention Old Forester beats OGD.
I would have to agree with Dillan, I think the definition of a bar cart is different than a home bar which is what Dutch had, let's do a $200 Home bar that should include spirits, mixers, liquors, bitters, and garnish.
Jules and Dylan did for me because I don't drink cocktails, I sip whiskey.
I'd say Dutch's simply for the fact if I'm thinking bar cart I'm thinking of cocktails and his was by far the best overall cocktail making set. If I wanted just a good budget version of the main styles of alcohol Id go with Dillons simply because he has Titos and he had the added versatility of a scotch.
This was a GREAT video!
If you're breaking the law to make these, THANK YOU! 😂
An excellent example of words/rules not actually speaking but being understood, as well. I can't decide one is better than the others because of that... But I would LOVE to see the $500 & $1000 versions! Cheers!
Dutch wins! Can’t believe he’s the only one that chose OF rye
Really enjoyed this one as a break from the usual bourbon reviews I come here for. Having said that, I would choose Dillon’s cart with Dutch in second place. Excellent video guys 👍🏼
Fire video idea y'all deserve more subs
Dutch is a genius.
Since i don't like cocktails and enjoy scotch, if I go to Dutch's place, do i have to sip on $7 bitters or Campari? I would lean toward Dillon or Jules, but considering decent Vodka, Rum, Gin, and Bourbon, I will have to pick Dillon. Nice video.
Got to go with Dillon's hands down since I don't make or drink cocktails. 🤷🏻♂️
W.T. Rare Breed $40
Knob Creek 9 yr $30
Elijah Craig S.B. $30
Love the originality of this video (now I want to do the challenge with fiends)!
Dutch wins.
Hands down, Dillon. Here is my reasoning: If I had to go to Dutch’s house, I would have to drink cocktails every time. At least with Dillon, the permutations are greater. No one with $100 budget is going to waste it on ancillary cocktail mixers. They want the booze! Great video!
We don’t pay the extra cash for Goose because it tastes better than Tito’s. We pay for Goose because it has a prettier bottle 😂
I'm sending this to a couple friends with pretty poor looking bars. This should help them. lol
Awesome idea and execution. Y'all are the best
As a cocktail person, Dutch's bottles are way more useful for a bar cart.
Wow Doorly's is a great choice for rum in this challenge. I'm a bit surprised none of you picked Woodford for bourbon given how you often talk about it as a good representative of bourbon. Maybe that's too expensive if you want to have lots of other bottles I guess, but I think I'd try to make room for it in my own cart.
Dutch's cart is best for cocktail-lovers, but someone who prefers drinking spirits neat probably wouldn't want to buy so many bottles just for cocktails. I might buy Dutch's Old Fashioned ingredients and make the rest of my cart a showcase for spirits, leaving out the other cocktail-focused things Dutch had.
Commenting on Dillon's vodka choice, it might be interesting to see at least one or two sippable vodkas entered into the spirits competition.
Dillion hit all bases, excellent job, winner🥃
My god this was a crazy good exercise, great content guys
Dylan is trying to be very hip with the kids and Dutch sounds like a dad. Lol
Dutch, killed it.
Dutch wins on the Old Forester pick alone. Only change . I'd make to his list would be Flora De Cans 4yr silver for the Bacardi.
Dutch totally won this!
I don't know anything about cocktails, so I don't know which one is more correct, but I like Dillon's.
To me, Dutch wins this one. Easily the most serviceable for the most people. But... I have to point out that he doesn’t have Orange curaçao so he actually couldn’t make a classic margarita.
Should have pointed out I that I only condone a Tommy's Margarita! But good point as lots of people still drink the "traditional" recipe.
23yo here. Dillon won this.... and it’s not really close
21 to 25? They will buy a bottle of Jack and all the PBR
I think Dillon there was more to offer but Dutch would come in close second because he had the mixers . Sorry Jules !
Dutch claimed to be able to make a margarita but no orange liqueur
I've got to give it to Dutch on this one. Its a more complete bar. I would want triple sec in there somewhere but I don't know what I'd take out for its sake.
99% of the time, Jules is my man. But, this is the other 1% lol! Dylan (spelling?), you win.
So Dutch didn't even have a VODKA on his bar. So no Bloody Mary's, Screwdriver or even a Vodka Martini. I do, however, like how Dutch thought through the process but other than the Campari, the vermouth and the bitters I would "consider" as mixers and not include in the 100 dollar price. I think that Dillon's list is great but living in WV, his list is in the realm of "Unobtanium" as the Doorly's and the RUBY Cask Famous Grouse are not available without going out of state or ordering online and paying the associated shipping costs. (Dutch has the Arette Tequila that is not available locally.) Jules, what can I say, "he grabbed the wrong bottle" and has 2 gins in his list. So for the record, there are ISSUES with each of the entries. BUT my vote is for Jules, as the products he picked are readily available. Now out of the bottles that were picked by all 3, I would do the Tito's Vodka, the Knob Creek Rye, Bacardi Gold, Espolon Tequila and the Bombay Gin. (with the smallest of bottles of Campari as a BONUS above the 100) for my list. It would be over the 100 dollar limit in WV but being creative and purchasing in other states while traveling, it could be obtained for less than the 100. (actually 99.95 American Dollars plus tax.)
I vote for Dutch’s cart 👍🏽
Subscribed to bourbon guild. No new content. Now I see what you were up too!!!and I love it!
Welp I'm going with buffalo trace, Evan williams b and b, old forester rye and monkey shoulder. Sipers mixers. 3 categories. I mean I can skip the gin rum and vodka
Bam
Dutch, Dillon, then Jules...I don’t need 2 Gins ;-p
Gin, always gin -- Rounders
nicely done!
Don’t drink anymore, but Jules cart is more serviceable.
Tito Vodka, Beefeater or Gordon's Gin, Cimarron tequila, Don Q Rum, Evan Williams BIB, Famous Grouse Scotch. With a buck or two left over. Now this would be my personal cart... Tito's or Belvedere Vodka, Suerte or Tapatio 110 Tequila, Plymouth Gin, El Dorado 12 year Rum, OGD 114 or OF 1920 Bourbon, Red Breast 12 or Powers 3 Swallows Scotch.
Dutch has a serviceable plan but I'd rather be invited to Dillon's.
Not a cocktail guy, but Dutch nailed the assignment.
Totally agree that Arette is exponentially better than Espolon. I think Dutch killed it on this one with the quality tequila, old forester rye, leaving out vodka, and including actual mixers to make cocktails.
Hands down Dutch
Dillon all the way...! Others not even close...!
Dutch for the win....but iam over 45....lol
Dutch, you killed it. Congrats.
Nice Rounders reference
Nice options. It's always good to have variety. What ever happened to the 4th guy from the bourbon guild?
If you're in Texas, get Tower Vodka instead of Tito's. It's just as good or better tasting at a lower price. Tower is made from Texas corn and is actually distilled in Texas. Tito's is first distilled in Nebraska by MGP (Midwest Grain Products) using massive industrial column stills. It is then shipped to Austin where it's distilled again in pot stills to give it the "hand made" marketing BS. If you don't believe me, look at Tito's distillery. They don't even have any grain silos on site so they can't possibly distill their vodka there. The vodka does taste good, but it's not handmade in Texas in small batches like their marketing suggests.
Love this, thanks guys
Dutch won boys
Fresh limes, lemons, oranges and simple syrup are the magical ingredients for most bar carts - at any budget. Stock good quality base spirits: Flor de Cana 4 Extra Seco light rum $14, Tapatio Blanco tequila $35 1L (so $26 750ml equivalent), Wild Turkey bourbon $17, Beefeater gin $15. Total to this point $81. Stock these if you want to spend $100 or $200+ on a bar cart - quality first.
For the last $19 you have to chose which cocktails you want to make - a, b, c (or d):
a. More rum cocktails (my preference), add $18 Appleton Signature Jamaican rum. Warning - rum is a rabbit hole. Stay away from Tiki unless you want to go well over a $100 cart.
b. Vodka cocktails: chose the cheapest among Ketel One, Russian Standard, Tito's, Smirnoff 21. What you mix with vodka is more important than vodka choice when you start with a solid vodka. If you come in under $19 here (and you can) throw in Angostura Bitters.
c. Vermouth cocktails: Chose 375ml (vermouth will spoil) Dolin Dry $11 and Rogue $11 (sweet). Spend the $22 and make an excuse when you go over budget $3.
d. Avoid Scotch, Irish Whiskey and Brandy/Cognac at a $100 budget - these are used less frequently in cocktails. Ignore this advise if your favorite cocktail is a Penicillin and grab Monkey Shoulder or Famous Grouse.
You can make a lot of cocktails with $100 in base spirits. Once you go want to go above $100 finish up with options a, b, and c plus expand your cocktail options with an Orange liqueur (Cointreau $30 or Pierre Ferrand Dry Curacao $30), a Rye (Rittenhouse $20), Angostura Bitters $9 and Orange Bitters (Fee Bros $8 or Regans $9). If the cocktail bug takes over, you will discover cocktail specs that will compel you to spend on more bottles.
P.S. Why splurge on Tapatio tequila vs other spirits? Make a Tommy's Margarita (google recipe) with Tapatio tequila and another sub-$25 750ml tequila and taste the difference. If it's not worth it for you, Arrete Classic, Cimarron, Pueblo Viejo, Olemca Altos, Espolon, or your favorite tequila at Costco are good options.
Your tequila comments are spot on, and I totally overlooked Tapatio blanco for this competition. At 1L, Tapatio blanco is a bargain. In my collection, Tapatio is a high-end sipper, and while Olmeca Altos is primarily my mixer, it's still a decent sipper.
@@robertmyers5763 Tapatio is a Mexican treasure: horno ovens, 20% Tahona crushed and 80% roller mill, copper pot. A Carlos Camarena gem. Good quality. Good value. Your use of Olemca Altos as a mixer is a good call - sometimes you will see 750ml for $15 in my area and you just have to stock up.
Great idea, to me Dillon and Jules win because in my part of the world almost nobody asks for the cocktails Dutch mentioned, the only one would be mojito.
Cheers from Panama
Dutch wins because besides all the cocktails he mentioned... he could also do a Boulevardier {whisky/sweet vermouth/campari}, Dry Martini from his dry vermouth, Americano {Campari, sweet vermouth}... of course theres the rum old fashioned in which his bitters get more usage... and last but not least, his lineup actually reads the recipe for the Rosita {Campari, Tequila, sweet vermouth, dry vermouth, ango bitters}
Sure there may be better quality base spirits in the other carts.... But this hundred dollars makes a far larger menu
Winner winner chicken dinner, Dutch knocked it out of the park.
Dutch really killed it
I pick Dillon's. For rum, I would go with Flor de Cana Extra Seco though. $18 for 750ml or $26 for 1.75l
Lot's of great choices all around but I'm with Dutch on this one. You just need some Cointreau on that cart.
In general, my only disagreement is with Espalone. It's not bad at all but it tastes too much like vodka. Arette is a great choice but as you say, hard to get sometimes. I like Tres Agaves. It's not particularly complex but all the flavors are good. it's smooth and round with lots of agave, vanilla, black pepper & citrus and no funky after tastes. A great mixer and sips well. Highly under-rated in my opinion.
I have some expensive sippers but these are my current bargain brands primarily for mixing. (I didn't add it up but I'm not bound by the rules :-)
Bourbon: Old Grandad
Scotch: Monkey Shoulder
Vodka: Absolut
Gin: Beefeater
Tequila: Tres Agaves Blanco
Rum: Plantation 3 Stars
I know where I'm putting my next $100
Dillon and Jules did great. Sorry Dutch but those two did closer to my liking. Great episode!
Dutch’s cart
Anybody ever made the Predator connection with you guys?
Dutch wins. Dillon is automatically disqualified for spending part of his budget on vodka.
Dutch wins.
I’d love another one of these with $200 for whiskey daily drinkers
Jules loves gin.
The real vodka pick is costco vodka, actually amazing.
Dutch wins IMO
@13:10 Jules: "You guys are not my friends."
Was he joking? And what happened to Ben?
