You should do a similar video where you pick the top 5 bottles that you could actually buy throughout the country. No store picks, no allocation, and no regional releases. The top 5 bottles you could step off a plane in any random US city and know you can walk into a random liquor store and buy.
Love this idea! It would be good to compare. Great video guys
Beat me to it. None of these bottles are really attainable.
I’m pretty sure they have already done top 5 under $50 which is pretty much the same thing as what you’re talking about.
@@nickflohr811 They've done something like that but no, limiting it to $50 is not what I'm talking about. There are plenty really avaliable whiskeys over $50 that are very good.
@@dronepocket325 Searched and... no. Thanks for commenting, remember to like and subscribe!
Guess I'm hunting Four Gate batch 19 now. Thanks for blowing up my budget, buds.
Downvote for picking scotch for bottle five! 😂 jk
it only makes a noise when I un-subscribe/like ;) lol
Ok
Lagavulen 16 yr
George t Stagg 144 proof bottle
I w harper 15yr
New riff balboa rye
Parker’s heritage promise of hope.
that promise of hope just hits different
Oooooooh...Sean! I need one of those whiskey Wutang shirts. Nice!
Yo me too
...it's for the children
you can find them on www.whiskeyambitions.com
You should do a video where you pretend you’re getting a “divorce” and then do a “draft” of what bottles you would pick to take with you after the separation
I've been favoring this sort of "collection" for a while now. I used to do the shelf full of bottles thing but I decided I had too much stuff that I didn't like (unfortunately it's not "content" when I do it) so I spent a year or two not buying anything and just killing bottles. I now have a cheap bourbon that I keep a decanter full of on my desk and coffee table, then I keep one nicer bourbon, one rye, one Irish, one peaty scotch, one sherried scotch, and one Japanese whiskey on hand at all time. All of the nicer bottles change frequently, I almost never buy the same one twice in a row.
I'm working to get to this point right now myself, and it's hard... I think I peaked around 50+ bottles ranging the full gamut of price points and styles (mainly bourbon then scotch), slowly trying to work down to a dozen or less. The only bottle I've re-stocked this year, is a handle of EW BiB to replace a WT 101 handle that is mainly used for mixed drinks
@@rhendog7 Yeah, I also consider cocktail spirits to be separate. I do technically have another bourbon, rye, and scotch that I use only for mixing. It's a nice way to do the collecting thing without ending up with bottles they just sit around for a long time because you don't really love them.
Hate to say it but sean had a way better list. Dans only win was the cigar blend.
Sean with the win .. great choices, but the Parkers Heritage 8 year Heavy Char takes the victory for him, along with the OF117.
Redbreast 27, GTS 2019, 4R2020SmBLE, Bardstown Discovery Batch 4, Old Forester barrel proof Rye.
surprised shawn didn't go with a brownforman Early Times BiB to take advantage of the magical refill... The WTWT list didn't include refills, which changes everything. With the refill, I'm keeping my GTS, ER17, EHT Marriage, RR13 (so I could finally open them, all bought at retail) and lastly 1792 FP store pick.
we don't own a bottle
I agree with Seans Four Gate Batch 19 but I agree more with Dans choices. Joseph Magnus, Blue Run and Compass Box choices are absolute hitters. The first Compass Box I had was the Peat Monster and Dan is right that it’s like an angel from heaven comes down and just envelopes you in a soft warm embrace that heals your soul and makes everything oh so much better.
Wild Turkey Rare Breed, Old Forester 1920, Old Grandad 114, Michters and Chattanooga Whiskey 111.
GTS 2020
Jack Daniels barrel proof rye
Michters toasted barrel bourbon
Maguns cigar blend (Vader batch)
Dewars 32 year double double
Of my collection in no particular order
- antique 107 (boring)
- ocean voyage 17 (only one worth the money)
- yippee kye yee (spelling)
- desert jewell
- IW Harper 15
This divorce is the equivalent of Sean getting the kids on weekends, holidays, and summer vacation while Dan gets the kids Mon - Thurs and has to go to all the PTA meetings and do all the homework with the kids.
Ugh, I'm never going to remember these bottles to spot them at any liquor store. I mean, not like I actually expect to get lucky and find one, but damn...there are so many I want to try and not readily available.
King of Kentucky available & yet the White House insists on serving Wild Turkey 101 to their dinner guests, both domestic diners and those august heads of state flying in from the four corners of the world. Guess ya jus can't beat tha Turk, whiskey & rye 101. Can ya?
Sean's list is better simply because of Octomore. Full stop
Great choices from both of you. I just question, why no BTAC or WT? Forever is a long time 😅
KOK automatically wins. It's just different.
Dalmore 15, Booker's, Woodinville Triple Barrel, Woodford Rye, Laphroaig 10...In that order for me. Fun lists, guys.
Sorry I'm usually #teamdan but Sean mopped the floor on this list. Ph rye, 1910eo 👌
Thank god I have 3 Bottles of Blue Run 14. I will make sure it lasts YEARS
Poorman's Only-5:
OGD 114
MFC
Oh, wait, that's only two.
Don’t worry Dan, you’ll win Matt Madness next year. Cameron had a great run and you’ll come back stronger
It’s ARE CAH NA LOL not arcania
😂😂😂😂 #teamsean
If you stopped receiving/buying bottles, how long do you think it would take you 2 to drink your entire collection?
I have an extra batch 78 cigar blend for Dan that I’m looking to trade. Cheers from commifornia
Also I don't think he meant "magically refilled". More like "what are you saving from a house fire".
well we're selfish and made our own stipulations because I'm ripping shelves off the wall and carrying them out in a fire
I feel like I have to live vicariously thru you gents cause I won't hunt that hard for those unicorns..... Never seen any of them in the wild in SE NC 😞
No Mario sound but I’ll try again tomorrow! Also Dan don’t you have a OF birthday bourbon from the year your son was born? I was just curious because of the sentimental value of sharing that one day where that would rank! Cheers guys
You just picked teams in dodgeball and Dickel is the kid with asthma and glasses.
Pick by pick as presented in the video, who won?
1. Dan's JMCB
2. Sean's KoK (and not just because that's fun to say. I have a bottle from that literal barrel and its a killer)
3. Sean's Parker's Rye (that rye is so good)
4. tie. wow.
5. have only had octomore of those two so I have no idea.
When Sean and I get divorced 🤣🤣🤣🤣
oh I'm going looking for the Four Gate Kev Collab IIII NOW. It was a tie for me. Dan and Sean both had 2 I love on their list, and I haven't dabbled in Scotch Whisky so that's a toss up. I'll actually try it now.
Hey guys, nice job making this particular video - I actually enjoyed the banter. Regarding the lists, I hate to say it, but the difference maker for me is that I'd choose the Compass Box over the Octomore 6 days out of 7. Keep up the good work
I’m with you on the Elmer 100: it started my bourbon journey. I have an ETLC in my bunker because I couldn’t find the 100 anywhere, and Elmer at the slightly higher proof than normal is amazing!
#teamdan
Didn't get the special noise from liking the video, I'll have to keep trying on each new video
I'm curious how neither picked WLW after the reviews y'all gave?
We didn't own a bottle at the time, only had samples to go off of.
Just because i'll never see a KoK in NewJersey, im with list teamDan
You need to review Barrel King. Life changing
The odds of anyone seeing these in the wild is still far greater than Dan getting a state capital correct.
So don't complain.
Didn’t get the Mario sound ( wasn’t expecting it, Dans a “Lier”😉) So you guys must Let me know Which Octomore’s you do have. I Think that’s what I won’t to put on my self and don’t won’t to send you something you already have. I do have quit a few.🥃
I'd have to look to honestly remember what is there, a couple 8's couple 10's couple 11's and that one frosted 12
Ok I seriously thought Dan was kidding about the like button…
Bro - the like button sounds is ssssiiiiccccckkkkkkk! Thanks Dan!
The drip sounded more like a slurp when I hit the like button
Sean wind shows over he just dropped the mic! Octomoreeeeeeeeeeee!
Sean WINS!!!!!
thank you!
I’d say it was a tie for me. Even though I’m and thought at first his list would win for me with the four gate pick. with that Kentucky owl Batch 2 Rye and that compass box Peat monster might’ve just edged a little bit ahead. Awesome video
Sean Wins. He picked Octomore
#TeamDan all day but with Sean on the 1910 Extra Age that thing is amazing!
Guys I loved this video! There is something about watching people show off their collection/monster bottles that truly get me excited and remind me why I got into bourbon/whiskey in the first place. I felt so giddy haha.
Also, the way Dan talked about Peat Monster Arcania was absolutely poetic. Damn near made a believer out of me. Thinking I might have to run down to party source and pick me up a bottle 😇 cheers junkies!
My picks are with Dan. He started with a great one
I’m in NC and can never find the 1910. Finally found me a bottle while in Florida and now trying to figure out if I want to open it now or wait til I get another bottle. 🤯🤷♂️
Oooopen
Did you have an opportunity to pick up the Octomore and went w Arcana? Sean wins and it’s not even close.
This ^
yea when people can pick it up for $30 it also changes it a lot for me too
whoah this is a real cool heart badge
(btw, how much does that Arcana go for over there?)
i’ve never had any of these, but i know i like old forester, so team sean.
Hey you two never pick a non-kentucky style rye. No one ever chooses a rye of 75%or higher.
Any reason why????
I think we prefer the sweeter ryes, but we also love a lot of 95/5 ryes too
10 bottles and not one Irish. Smh
Bro you guys got to do the mammoth 12 year 56% abv since you live here in Michigan.
We do not
Any 5 and no WLW?
Didn’t get baloope with the like.
Loving Sean getting the Bruchladdich head rush.
I want that shirt that Sean is wearing...
Sean wins on the Octomore!!
Great list guys! Loved this concept of having a whiskey collection but having to pick your favorites to survive. Some would be impossible to find again, some are your favorites flavor profiles, and some are sentimental. Cheers 🍻
we went straight off the whiskey we want to drink the most
Hey guys, I live in Australia and would love you're opinion.
I've found an online seller for 1792 Full Proof for $149 AUD (103.20 USD). Cheap compared to other sites.
I really like Wild Turkey Rare Breed (72.73 USD) but want to try the 1792.
Is it worth forking out the extra dollars or just stick with Rare Breed?
Thanks, love the channel!
Both great lists but for me it’s 100% #teamsean
Absolutely love these types of videos, the Reddit you only need 5 bottles is what brought me to the BJ channel and haven’t left
Team Sean due to the Octomore!
That's a large bottle count of I suspect 80% great bourbons. I believe the best 5 whiskies I have owned a bottle of are - Middleton Very Rare 2016, Stagg Jr, EHTBP, Heaven's Door cask strength (MGP), and Redbrest 12 year. Cream of Kentucky 13 year would replace Heaven's Door, but I only had that as a pour at a restaurant. My honorable mentions are Yellow Spot, ECBP, JDSBBP, and John's Lane release. I dig Sean's list over Dan's. Sorry Savant
I want that 1910 extra aged!
So far for me sean is winning I’m at 4!
No WLW?
Scotch … come on guys 🤣
We need a Compass Box lineup video.
Nice lists! I'll give the edge to Sean because of King of Kentucky. I just had my first taste of it in Kentucky two days ago...Unbelievable!! Unfortunately, I'll never be able to own a bottle (insert frown here).
Sean’s > Dan’s
I thought the original premise was more emotional and sentimental, and less about quality or rarity, like with the Elmer bottle. They don't refill and you can rebuild the collection, don't have to 'round out the selection'. Let's say there's a tornado or earthquake (insurance covers the losses), which specific 5 bottles would you be most heartbroken to lose? You guys wouldn't keep one of your barrel picks? A specific gifted bottle? I don't disagree with your lists, legendary unicorn ambrosia is obviously worth keeping, just wasn't the angle I expected, at least the way you talked about it.
No Irish????? Lol
I got the mushroom eating sound.
If I join do I get access to any barrel picks you do?
Yeah
Gotta go with Sean's picks.
I’m shocked…I actually have one of the bottles! Got to try the 1910 Extra Old a few times and loved it. Managed to get one in trade for an OWA and EHT Small Batch. I can find those retail from time to time so it was a no brained for me.
Sean wins.
Easy
What the heck! So far nobody has picked Fireball! And God's sake give Dickel some love too! For no. 3 Wicked Pickle. If Dan was able to make a list for Greeze they'd be on that list!
Team Sean vote. KoK and octomore are straight hitters! Both solid lists but the ETL 100 for Dan is when I knew Sean won it for me
I was waiting for the peat to come out at some point! Great lists, great video as always.
it's gotta be there for both of us
Good times
I freaking love Four Gate batch 19! Was getting very sad because the bottle is low and randomly walked into a store on vacation and they had batch 19! Bought two more it is fantastic!
Pretty hyped to be the 1/2 that got the beta
Great list, and I was so pleasantly surprised by your Islay picks at the end! I love Compass Box as well, my favorite is their Tobias & The Angel and it would have to be in my list of 5 bottles. Cheers!
#teamsean
What do you mean by refillable?!
We're saying these 5 bottles magically refill, like these are the 5 bottles we'd have for life
Seem like great lists. Only have had Magnus and a regular Elmer before…but I think I’ll have to go TeamSean on the 5 id like to try more. Also want that whisky shirt
Dan made me comment :(
Damn...Seans list "nailed it!!"
Great video guys.
Im really glad I took Dan's advice and bought the Blue run 14y, even though i payed big bucks in Canada.
How much was it? I am looking to get one but if its too much I won't look too hard
@@betsypwnsyou I ended up having to pay like $350 cad to get it up here. Which is like $265 usd?
The selection here is terrible so it's basically all secondary from groups/people. So for that amount of $ in the US you can probably find better things.
