I’m new to bourbon and I usually avoid high proof bourbons , but oddly enough my 2 favorites are Wild Turkey 101 and Knob Creek 9, I also love Makers 46 , 1792 and Russell’s 10 year.
You're new? 😂
Great video! I love the idea of people talking about what bottles they’ve drank the most over their bourbon journey. I’ve been drinking whiskey for 15ish years or so… but didn’t start actually diving into bourbon and whiskey until 2018 when I started appreciating the neat pour as a sipper (before that, usually it was mixed drinks or occasionally on the rocks).
Since 2018, I started keeping track of every bottle I’ve bought, and here are the bourbons I bought from highest down (I stopped at having purchased 4 bottles of the brand):
11 bottles :: Rare Breed
10 bottles :: Knob Creek small batch (NAS or 9yr)
7 bottles :: Buffalo Trace, Elijah Craig BPs, & Makers Mark
6 bottles :: Eagle Rare, Henry McKenna BIB, & KC 9 Yr SiB
5 bottles :: Four Roses SiB and Woodford Double Oaked
4 bottles :: 1792 small batch, Elijah Craig small batch, Larceny, Makers Mark CS, Michter’s small batch, and WT101
My current top 5 would be:
- Old Forester 1910
- Woodford double oak
- high west double rye!
- willet 4 year rye
- Elijah Craig barrel proof
Frey Ranch can be ordered from the distillery online.
Just FYI, i think Frey Ranch can ship to most states. I'm in florida, it's at no stores but I can order direct from their website. Great stuff.
My top 2 daily drinking whiskey: The Dead Rabbit & Smoke Wagon uncut unfiltered
I'm just learning and this has been so helpful!! Thank you!
My current five that I grab on a nightly basis: Lagavulin 16, Calumet 16, Sagamore Rye Double Oaked, Eagle Rare, and Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Private Barrel.
I’d love to see you do a “sweeter notes” blind tasting. Perfect for the holidays. Specifically the Widow Jane Decadence, Woodford Reserve Double Oak, etc, to name a few.
I agree, this would be a good show for the upcoming holidays.
The Widow Jane Decadence is amazing. The bottle lasted 2 nights.
Trent needs to have a scotch tasting. Love to hear his hateful tasting notes. 😂
Yesssssss! Coming soon!
Thanks for reviewing the “everyday” sippy-sips. I now have another rye to try. Really appreciate bringing some Scotch to the discussion. After 4 years overseas, my scotch/Irish collection grew nicely and I somehow lost track of the good-good while I chased bourbons.
Perfect blend of familiar favorites and ones to look for. Great lineup!
My top 5 go to's...Early Times bottle in bond, russels reserve 10 year, woodford double oak, rabbit hole cavehill, and glenfiddich 14 yr single malt scotch.
This would be a good quarterly review. Great video!!
nice episode. Useful to know more about non-allocated.
My daughter sent me a bottle of Frey Ranch. I enjoyed it very much:
5 (by category)
Bourbon: KC12
Rye: Pikesville
Irish: Yellow Spot
Scotch (peated): Springbank 12 CS (batch 15)
Scotch (non-peated): Tomatin 18 (just finished)
Wild card (allocated): Wild Turkey Master’s Keep 17 (batch 1)…from the stash.
My top daily sippers at the moment: OF 1920, Benchmark Full Proof, knob creek single barrel, knob creek 12, and Buffalo Trace (I have place that always has it $28)
Coopers craft 100
Four Roses single barrel
Barrell Seagrass
Chattanooga Cask Strength
Balcones single malt (and store pics)
Wild Turkey 101, OF 1920, Rare breed, old grand dad 114 and early times.
Thanks Kurt & Trenton for your channel! Great way to learn of many different bourbons that I haven't tried or even seen before! I don't have a large stock myself so I only have a top 3 which I find myself restocking and drinking regularly which are readily available in Pennsylvania.
1) WR Double Oaked
2) OF 1920
3) Four Roses SB Select
Rare Breed has been on my list since discovering y’all’s videos this year! Love the videos and really opening my eyes to the bourbon/whiskey world as an amateur
Trent which pie do you prefer with allocated sippers?
😂
Knob Creek 9yr, Johnnie Walker Black Label, Buffalo Trace, Old Forester 100 and Basil Haden.
My current 5 daily’s in no particular order: Wild Turkey Rare Breed, Knob Creek Single Barrel, Russell’s Reserve Single Barrel, Eagle Rare, and Bulleit Barrel Strength. Cheers from another Region local!! 🥃
These are all cheap Bourbons
Late to the comments here but first have to say to Kurt and Trenton that their videos are well thought out, well presented and digestible - never over our heads or long-winded. These guys bourbon! Your palates are amazingly similar to mine - so I am absolutely a subscriber. As for my go-to bourbons right now: WR Double-Oaked, WT Rare Breed, Four Roses Single Barrel, and Knob Creek 9. Unfortunately, here in Canada, we don't see most of the rest of your selections on the shelves very often (or at all). Still, your vids are great for my next shopping excursion to the US. Keep it up guys!
My top 3 is OF1920, Henry McKenna 10, and JD SBBP. A local fav is the JT Melek Single Barrel but that bottle is finite unfortunately
Love the Arron 10. Fantastic pour. I actually like to start with that and then go into a bourbon. It makes bourbon notes pop!
in Reno during ALL of November Lee's liquor has buy one get one 1 PENNY for Frey ranch/Frey Ranch Rye! Guess I'll go pick up 2 bottles for the price of 1 today! But to be honest I still think Barrell Seagrass is the best I've had in years. Cheers!
Nice!
Awesome video guys. I appreciate your input and will definitely give these a try!
Current top 6 dailies in random order, Eagle Rare, Red breast 12, Greenspot, Bushmills 10, Pike creek 10 year and weller sr
Great list. That sagamore sherry rye is in my current top 5 as well. Honestly probably my favorite rye this year. Also currently loving the redwood empire grizzly beast, knob creek 12, Stranahan sherry, and compass box flaming heart (scotch I know, but delicious stuff if you like just a little peat)
Great list Gents!
I’ve been pouring these 5 lately
1- Russels 10 (all year round)
2-Remus Single barrel(great store pick- got several)
3- Maker’s cask strength specifically the 46 cask & a store pick
With cooler weather - love ryes-
4-Michter’s single barrel Rye
5-knob Creek single barrel Rye (great store pick)
Cheers to beautiful fall pours! 🥃
Love this show. You guys are great. Love the input.
Another fun show guys. The bourbons I reach for as daily drinkers are WT101, Old Forester 1910, WR Double Oaked, Isaac Bowman Port Barrel, and Four Roses Small Batch Select. All solid pours in my opinion.
How would u compare the 1910 to the 1920?
Great show guys ! I find myself reaching for the Marker' 46 and Angels Envy more often than not ! ( and KC 9 😉)
I literally just finished a bottle of that Hard Truth last week. It is INCREDIBLE! Great pick Trent. So, so, so good!
Russels Single Barrel, Rare Breed Rye, Old Forester 1920 and 1910
4 Roses small batch select has been my new go to sipper! Love the flavors and finish on it. Great video, as always!
Thanks for the content! Definitely going to look for some of these!
My five are Buffalo Trace, Woodford Reserve, Woodford Reserve Double Oak, Maker's Mark 46 Gentleman Jack..
This is good stuff, thank you for sharing your thoughts on more accessible bottles. It would be fun to track how the bottles in your top 5 change over the year.
Sagamore is killing it, there Double Oak is great.
Great job as always! Picked up the Frey Ranch via ordering it from their website. Delivered for $65 to Florida. To me, it's flavor profile is very unique, and who does not love that bottle and top!
Great video. I am currently obsessed with the Woodford Double Oaked. Great pick. I was sipping on that while I watched this.
Curt me and you and one in the same with Scotches; I love everything that comes out of Campbeltown.
1. Lagavulin 16
2. Smoke Wagon small batch
3. High West Campfire
4. Kilkerran 12
5. Woodford Double Oaked
My current for are Wild Turkey 101, Four Roses Small Batch, Elijah Craig Small Batch, and Old Forester 1920. I don't have that vast a collection.
Honestly love this idea, my current 5 are Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit, Woodford Rye, Basil Hayden Dark Rye, Rebel Cask Strength, and Four Roses. Keep up the great work!!
Great you included the Arran 10. One of my favs. I like the episodes where yall address other types of spirits outside of bourbon.
Me to!
Thank you for your awesome content.
Love Trent’s lineup. That Widow Jane and Sagamore Sherry are definitely on my list to try!
Great line up. Can't wait to try some of these. Rare Breed is my go to as well Kurt!
VERY INTERESTING!!!! My whole collection is smaller than this show but I do have those three that are the "that time" evening. Willet Pot Still, Orphan Barrel Rhetoric 22, Penelope Architect, are up there as the special ones for sure.
Top 5 for me this year:
Bulleit (I swap between regular, 10 year, and SiB)
Michter’s Small Batch
Elijah Craig BP
Four Roses Small Batch
Yellowstone
I’ve made Old Fashions with these throughout the year, particularly during Old Fashioned Week, and have enjoyed them tremendously. This has been my first year collecting bourbons and scotches (would grab maybe 1-2 bottles a year over the past 4 years otherwise) and my collection is now at a modest 30 bottles, majority of that being bourbon.
Got into whiskey over the last 6 months and gotta say your channel is the best. My current top 5. Wild Turkey 101, Buffalo Trace, Four Roses Single Barrel, Johnnie Walker Double Black, and when UCF Football has a big win, Johnnie Walker blue label. I think I’ve got the whiskey starter kit as my collection. I look forward to exploring other bottles soon.
Appreciate your kind words!
You guys are great! Please continue to mention the prices…really helps me know and gauge if I’m over paying or not. I can judge a good deal or how willing I’m willing to pay over the normal price, depending on what it is. Thank you
Will do! I noticed I didn’t on a few so my bad on that.
Hopefully you aren’t in Washington state. I purchased $119 in booze and paid 34 dollars in taxes. And liberal politicians complain about businesses being greedy.
I really enjoyed that - thanks guys.
Being from Australia, there's a couple of local bottles in my current top 5:
The Gospel Straight Rye Whiskey (90 proof)
Adam's Peated Shiraz Cask Single Malt (93 proof)
They slot in next to Dalwhinnie 15yo Single Malt, which is an amazing pour for the price.
Next is the Woodford Double Oaked, which I tried after your double oaked review. I'm really enjoying it.
And rounding it out is WT Rare Breed, for all the reasons you mentioned. Special mention to Knob Creek 9yo, but here in Aus, the Rare Breed is only the equivalent of US$10 more than the KC9, so it's the bird for me.
Nice!
LOVE Frey Ranch!!! Dirt to glass...
Knob 9, WT Rare Breed, 1792 Full Proof, Dettling Single Barrel, 4 Roses Select
I have 5 of these in my 10 bottle collection. I will be looking for the Frey and the Barrell. Thanks for the channel, I watch everyone.
My daily’s are typically Old Forester 100 and Wild Turkey 101 Rye. I like to keep a Four Roses around also as well as Woodford Double Oaked. Recently, I have been trying several Midwestern whiskies from Northern Waters in Wisconsin, Mississippi River Valley Distilling from Iowa, Nassif/Cat’s Eye in Iowa, and Foundry Distilling in Iowa.
Nice job guys! My daily pours at this moment include Redwood Empire Rye, Coopers’ Craft 100 proof, and Jim Beam Double Oak.
My daily drivers are WT101, Old Grandad BiB, Early Times BiB, Dickel Superior no. 12, and Makers 46. Buffalo Trace used to be on this list, but now I’m having a bit more difficulty finding it regularly without paying a premium.
Great selections
Wow yeah I’m on board with this list. I agree about rare breed for sure and Knob 9 and Arron 10 . I usually steer clear of barrell because they tend to put Dickel in everything so not familiar with the one you mentioned here. Two other relatively available pours I find myself reaching for are compass box Orchard House and tumblin dice Barrel proof (mgp)
Widow Jane decadence is I think 90 here in pa and drops once a year so not sure if it’s once a year run or pa only releases it once a year it’s semi allocated I would say
Another great idea. Could be fun to make a note of these and compare to next year at the same time to see if your taste changes 🤔
WT101, OF 1920, Larceny regular or barrel proof, Elijah Craig barrel proof, and Coopers craft 100 proof are 5 common ones I would have. Then all of the allocations! Thank you for showing us yours!
Picked up one of the newer batches of bardstown Fusion series recently and I’m really glad I gave it another shot, damn good bottle for the money. Really loving all of these picks from you both
I’m certainly with you on the Hard Truth Sweet Mash Rye Uncut 2 year, it blew my socks off, and even better, TW somehow had it discounted to $41, for a 2 year rye, it’s phenomenal AND just picked up a Frey Ranch Farm Strength Barrel Strength which I tried at the Whiskey Riot in Houston TX. Thank you fellas, enjoyed the content! Cheers 🥃 🥃
I cant agree more on the Woodford reserve double oaked.... my obtainable favorite by far!
great show .
Arron 10 is a staple in my bar. wonderful whisky.
Great list guys! Cheers 🥃
So great love the values, you work hard, you save your money and contribute to society
Thanks for the treat ;) Currently I am looking for Four Roses Small Batch Select and also thinking about buying Arran 10.
My currenty top 5 for daily drum is: Wild Turkey 101, Jack Daniels Rye, Jim Beam (white with ice), Glenlivet 12 Illicit Still / Licensed Dram, Glendronach 12.
I love bourbons, and I think you guys would like a Bunnahabhain 12 Year Old Small Batch Scotch Whisky. Give it a try. I think you'll enjoy it.
One of my absolute faves!
Rare breed, double oaked , and rare breed are great choices. You gave me some new ones to try. My 5 would be EC barrel proof (or small batch if BP isn’t around), belle meade cask strength, rebel cask strength, wild turkey 101, and lately larceny has been tasting real good
Love your videos guys! My top 5's as of this week (plus an extra) in the cupboard are:
1. Woodford Reserve Double Oaked (you guys got me hooked on this one! Delicious)
2. Wild Turkey 101 (our everyday whiskey)
3. Knob Creek Rye (came with 2 glasses at Christmas)
4. Knob Creek 9 yr old (up to $38 here - favorite whiskey of 2022)
5. Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve 120 proof (a new favorite)
6 Makers 101 (I think I like 46 a little better)
I may should've watched this @ 10am .... . Because I have a few of these & so I had to compare them 😄
Thank you,
Excellent episode! Enjoying the chemistry of both of you on screen together. I'd like to see this revisited for late winter, maybe with some winter cocktails. What are you mixing?
Yesssss! More cocktails!
Solid picks. My current 5 go to pours are Wild Turkey Rare Breed, Four Roses Small Batch Select, Angel's Envy Rye, Chatanooga 111, and Maker's Mark Cask Strength.
I LOVE how you added "Chapters" to your other video and would LOVE to see it on future videos. Super helpful!
I will tell Trent!
Rare breed, 4 roses small batch select, new riff single barrel, jack daniels triple mash, and old firester 100 or old grand dad 114 are my top 5 for fall. Just saw this as my first video of yours, keep up the great conversation gentlemen.
5 go to whiskies right now….ECBP’s, OF 1920, High West (finished ryes with different finishes, even campfire), Penelope, (also different finishes, the Tokaji cask, architects), and New Riff Malted rye 6 yr. Typing in this list, I guess it’s that time of year, ryes and a little higher proof juice. Trenton would not like the High West Campfire, but I’m pretty sure Kurt would, very interesting and unique blend. Cheers
I need to try the campfire release!
My top 5 today as someone inside my first 90 day introduction to bourbon/whiskey/scotch....1) Wild Turkey 101 (it's just the proof/mouth feel for the money is really incredible - I feel like I should do something to make this an allocated bourbon, lol) 2) Highland Park Cask Strength (butterscotch is actually a note for scotch...hell yes!) three and four are toss ups...3) Four Roses Small Batch 4) Elijah Craig Barrel Proof (dusty peanut goodness) 5) Michters Rye (starting to appreciate Rye - didn't like rye in moonshine, but in whiskey its really good) Great channel guys, super helpful as I decide what to add to the collection and as a former Hoosier transplanted in FL. I value the feel of 'home' felt thinking you bring me.
Thank you Jerry for watching!
Took forever to get Trent in front of the camera, now he's there every video. Keep it up.
Daily drinkers:
Redwood Empire (any of the three)
Wild Turkey 101
Old Forester BIB
1792 Small Batch
Daviess County (any)
I really enjoy your videos. It has expanded my taste on other bourbons. I try to get the ones that are new to my collection, but unfortunately living in Pennsylvania where the liquor stores are state run, they have limited selections of bourbon and whiskey. I will continue to look for the rarer ones out of state.
Thank you for sharing your experience!
Larceny Small Batch.
Wild Turkey 101.
Old Grand Dad 114.
Maker's Mark 101.
Buffalo Trace (available again).
Glad you commented on the widow jane. I see it regularly in my area but consistently pass it by. I will pick a bottle up now.
My top go to pours are Rare Breed, Cooper's Craft, WT101, Benchmark Fullproof.
Great video! My daily is Rare Breed and 1910. I just picked up a Hard Truth and Frey Ranch and cannot wait to crack them open.
KC9, WR (DO), OF1920, MM46, 4Roses….all perfect dailies
Great video as usual. Living in CA Frey is always in my collection. Though I do prefer the barrel proofs. My five are easily available in my area and are as follows.
OF 1920
SW Uncut Unfiltered
JDSBBP
ECBP whatever batch is open
Russels Reserve 110 proof
Love the Frey Ranch, great taste
Consistently find myself reaching for the buffalo trace, luckily i can find it in my area. Also regularly go for the woodford double oaked and wild turkey rare breed.
Perfection in Show as Always!!! My Daily’s … Guess I have to exclude Eagle Rare (hard to find in NC). Four Roses Single Barrel, OF 1897, OF 1910, The Clover Single Barrel Tennessee Whiskey, Four Roses Small Batch Select
Segamore double oak rye is one I reach for, Dark fruit and coco. Nice warm finish.
Top 5
1920
Lost Monarch
Knob creek 9
4 roses SB
Russels SB
Haven’t tried too many, but of all of them I’ve tried I really like Navigator bourbon by the wine company. Finished in Port Wine barrels. It seems pretty rare around nh but I found a bottle for $35. I’ve also really loved Wyoming Whiskey bourbon, which has wheat in the mashbill.
My sippers are regular Jim Beam, Widow Jane 10 year, and OWA 107
Nice!
