Met some guy at a total wine buying five bottles he shares the same sentiment. I told him to try ancient age
Btac?
Don Degregoria buffalo trace antique collection or something like that. All the William larue Wellers and George t staggs. Meaning putting cheap smooth whiskey in those and you can fool people it’s expensive juice

Impress: Four Roses Single Barrel
Mixer: Wild Turkey 101

Actually drinking EC BP right now and it's a Friday lol. Great stuff. Cheers!
Except WT 101 > Buffalo Trace
Buffalo Trace all the way. Hard to find in WV though!
It's a Saturday night and I'm smoking a nice Gurkha cigar sipping on ECBP C919 and I picked up ECBP B520 today. To quote Ice Cube. "I gotta say today was a good day".
Recently picked up the four roses. It's divine. My Friday is Uncle nearest
Had to block and hide this from my wife, lord help me if she ever heard you only needed 5 bottles of Bourbon!!! Yall tryna get me killed? Crikey.
This a great idea, been thinking about a similar idea whenever I look at all of the open bottles I have
If I ever see Stagg Jr. as often as Old Forester 1920 life will be pretty damn good
Most people would love that too!
Agreed
Daily - Ardbeg 10
Impress - Old Forester 1920
Mixer - Turkey 101
Friday - Ardbeg Uigeadail

Great list. Only would replace special w Talisker 18. But scotch is off topic.
@@jamesnierle5886 Talisker 18 is best kept secret don't tell anyone.
Daily: Eagle Rare
Impress: Blanton's Store pick
Mixer: Old Grand Dad 114
Friday: Old Forester 1920
Special Occasion: George T. Stagg
Dude I totally agree with your list
Eagle rare is so good, and a bit underrate in my opinion
I really appreciate Buffalo trace decided to not make it single barrel, so the production can be more consistent and the price can stay low
Great list. I don’t have enough bottles to really choose from. But hey you gotta start somewhere. I was almost shocked that Sean didn’t show Wild Turkey any love. Then he come around . Great job guys. Blessings from Gettysburg.
Daily Drinker: WT 101.
Impress: EHT Small Batch.
Cheap Mixer: Old Forester Rye
Something Great: Russell's Reserve Single Barrel.

As long as you have the time to quit your job and try to hunt down #2 and #5 as a full time job.
@@taylorb7191 Yep, I've never seen #2. It just does not exist
Agreed. In my town, If your not buyer #1-6 on a Tuesday a.m. at state liquor opening, for once per month delivery, your SOL on #2.
Great concept and solids choices. I'll have to think more about mine.thabks for sharing!
I'm working on it being new to the tribe
Daily: Eagle Rare
Impress: TBD
Mixer: TBD
Friday: Buffalo Trace
Special: Angels Envy (cask strength)
You two are the reason why WR double oaked is my favorite and the reason I have 60 different bourbons in my collection! Great video guys!! Thanks so much!
Cheers man and thank you!
Have you tried Balcones Texas Rye? To me at least it seems like a similar but richer flavor to the WR Double Oaked
Trailer Park Picks:
Daily Evan Williams Bottled in Bond
Impress Buffalo Trace
Mixer Very Old Barton
Friday Wild Turkey 101
Sepcial Occassion Elijah Craig small batch.
Good video.
Saving this video to my favorites when I'm sitting in the parking lot at the ABC store looking for a new bottle 😊😊
Damn straight!!!!
Here in the UK I've only seen Eagle Rare, will keep an eye out for the others
I have been a Very Old Barton fan for about 18 years. It is made by the same distillery as 1792 Bourbon. Good mixer bourbon.
Too funny! Keep em coming! spider Dan “tell me that doesn’t smell like a special Occasion”😂
I loved the Maker's Mark Private Select so much. It is so damn good.
This could spawn a series of 5 new videos such as "Out top 5 daily drinkers", and so on. I look forward to seeing those.
Fellas, I. Just tried to find a review on your channel for benchmark #8 and bohman brothers and couldn’t find a video on your channel. Y’all should make a review of each ! Really enjoy your content keep it up !
So relieved that it was the mic cord that Dan was playing with, Cheers!
Got to pick up a store pick of WR Rye, and despite it not tasting at all like a rye should be, the fact that I was able to locate a store pick in a state that isn’t known for those was awesome (and at regular price instead of 70 dollars)
Living in Mio Michigan a cheap yet delicious daily drinker I love is Canada House. It's about $8 bottle. My favorite top 2 would be makers mark and if I got the cash my drink of choice at bars is double shots of Wild Turkey 101.
Daily - Elijah Craig Small Batch
Guest- Maker's Store Pick
Mixer- Bulleit or Buffalo Trace
Friday - Woodford Reserve Double Oak
Special - Old Forester 1910 (Because I haven't spent that much on a good bottle yet.)
At least this is what my collection currently is.
Great list. I can honestly say I don’t have any WTH... Shawn I am glad you had the common Sense to put. Wild Turkey. Product on yours. Dan buddy good just not Great🤣. Be well and thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. Blessings from Gettysburg. Keep your glass full 🥃

I agree with Sean. Here in San Diego, although they go quick after being stocked I can find OF 1920 for ~$60 at BevMo or ~$65 at small private stores. Stagg Jr., I can only find them at small private stores, and they're typically $100-$150.
Dan's bougie we know this
My wife and I like to make hot apple cider every winter and we always add a little bourbon. New fan of your show here! Last night I picked up a bottle of Early Times, thanks to you guys! It was between ET and Old Forester 86 proof. I went with the Early Times.
Haven't tried it yet, but you think this will be good mixed in with cider or waste of a good whiskey?
I'm new to bourbon/whiskey, but my favorite so far is Four Rose's Small Batch. Thanks for the great content!
I am in New York and Very Old Barton (despite the wholesale cost being around $11) is an allocated item to the retail liquor stores. You guys should road trip to NY to see what a mess the retail situation is here.

Guests: Angels Envy
Mixer: OF Rye
Great: OF 1920
Special: ECBP (Stagg Jr if found)

Daily: Buffalo Trace, Impress: Woodford Reserve Double Oaked, Mixer: Wild Turkey 101, Friday: Woodford Reserve, Special Occasion: Four Roses Single Barrel
I haven’t tried the single barrel but I do fancy me some FR!

Daily Drinker: Old Forester Signature 100
Impress: Woodford Reserve Double Oaked
Mixer: Wild Turkey 101
Friday Night: Russell's Reserve Single Barrel (Bourbon OR Rye)

Your lists were okay but my list will be great. Maybe the greatest list of all time? If you find better lists than mine...I'd like you to list them
We cannot wait for this list.
I also cannot wait for this list.
Your list is gonna be huge
Keep your head in the clouds
Looking forward to it Matthew
Daily: rotating
Guest: weller special reserve
Mixer: dickel bottled in bond
Friday: Weller full proof
Special occasions only: Blanton’s gold edition
My first 5 bottles were...
Evan Williams Single Barrel
Wild Turkey Rare Breed
Basil Hayden Dark Rye
Old Grandad 114
Four Roses Single Barrel
It seems that the Early Times BIB and Evan Williams BIB are interchangeable being at the same price point. I just happened to get a liter of the ET BIB yesterday. I called my major liquor store looking for some Old Tub but that was out of stock. I then asked about the ET, which has been out of stock forever in my area. They had gotten a limited supply and had one bottle left. They then held it in that special room for me until I got over there. Scored, yes! I also have a Very Old Barton 100 and just finished my EW BIB. I also recently got a Maker's 46 limited edition cask strength. Seems we're very close to being on the same page. 👊 In the Old Forester camp, I also love the 100 proof rye as a daily drinker. It doesn't come across grassy like a lot of ryes but rather I think the rye spice complements the OF sweet profile. The additional malted barley makes for an interesting sip as well.
I like EW Bib and Early Times Bib, but I feel that Early Times is a step above in quality. If only I could actually find another bottle.
You should do this with Ryes! And Scotches!
Daily: Russell Reserve 10 Year or Elijah Craig Small Batch
Impress: Old Forester 1920 or Knob Creek Store Pick
Mixer: Wild Turkey 101
Friday: Elijah Craig Barrel Proof or Russell Reserve Single Barrel
Special: Stagg Jr. Batch 13 or Bookers
I always loved good old Jim Beam and Blanton's as special occasions.
Larceny, Elijah Craig, I like my bourbon with wheat and my whiskey with sherry finish
The VO Bartons and Evans are both great for mixing with pretty much anything.
Been sipping bourbon for a long time. Pretty impressed with “Devils Brigade” out of Montana. It’s my new special occasion
Following the premise of the vid (5 open at a time, but can change it up a bit here and there), here goes my five (ish) bottles:
1. Daily drinker: Elijah Craig Small Batch 94 Proof OR Buffalo Trace
2. Impress your guests: only one choice here for me. Ive turned more people on to bourbon with Angels Envy than anything else.
3. Cheap mixer: Old Forrester 100 proof or Redemption. Fun fact: I mix Redemption into my homemade BBQsauce for extra flavor :)
4. Something Great, the Friday night bottle: depending on my mood, its either Old Forester Statesman or Uncle Nearest 1856
5. Special Occasion: only one choice here again for me: Kentucky Owl Confiscated.
Still have not tried Eagle Rare or Old Forester... will be following ADHD Whiskery’s advice for hiding my new bottles from my wife when I do get them! Another banger gentlemen!
Me and my wife’s 1 year wedding anniversary is coming up I was thinking of getting a bottle of sam houston 14 year for the special day. But keep up the great videos really been enjoying them 👍🏻
Solid special bottle right there
Daily Drinker: Old Granddad BiB
Impress/Share: Makers 46 (you don't need the cask or Select) or OF Statesman
Cheap, quality mixer, AAA 10 Star
Stagg is way to hard to find, I'm going with the OF 1920 or Maker's Select
Special occasion George T.
I recall my daily drinker being Weller SR just around $14 in Lexington, Ky back in’10. I should’ve bought a storage unit full. The internet dibbled my bourbon game HORD.
Great video fellas. And ADHD whiskey rapping is always a plus in my book. 😂
ADHD Whiskey rapping with the hand motions.... Legendary.
The whisky I've been drink recently is Buffalo trace
Just bought a bottle of 1920 yesterday. Cracking it open tonight!
Can't go wrong with that
I can't get any Buffalo Trace Distillery stuff here in the North Atlanta area now, other than Buffalo Trace and Benchmark. My go-to is Old Forrester 1910. It's like drinking candy.

Sp. Occasion: Ardbeg Correyvreckan (Because damn I love it, but I can't get into that every week)
That’s mah beau! The only whiskey I drink is whiskey neat!
I remember seeing that post and it actually convinced me to stop buying more whiskey (unless I see something rare when I'm picking up beer) and to just drink through what I have. I really don't need the 30ish bottles that I have, it just looks cool on display when people come over.
If had to choose....
Daily: WT 101, I keep a handle of it
Impress: Stagg Jr.
Mixer: I don't keep one but I would use Evan Williams
Friday Night: Henry McKenna 10 year bib
Special: Angels Envy barrel proof. No idea if its good but I've been saving it.
Great list! A few of those would be on mine too! Cheers boys!
I just keep thinking in my head they are like if Biff Tannen and George McFly were besties. :)
Brilliant! This channel should be called, “Biff and Marty get along.”
He towed his car to his house and all he has is a light beer
ok, the editing on these videos is on point. hats off to you gentlemen.
Thanks!
Another awe inspiring bottle flip, near disaster good idea for why we should buy more whiskey, even though I just bought whiskey video!!!
1. Daily drinker: BT or eagle rare
2. Impress your guests: Russell's reserve single barrel
3. Cheap mixer: Four roses yellow label, no character but the best cheap whiskey for those who don't like whiskey
4. Something Great, the Friday night bottle: Knob Creek Single barrel select store pick or EC toasted barrel
5. Special Occasion: Bookers, I love the peanut overload
Eagle Rare "easy to find"....hilarious. Not here in Florida. I am more likely to find snow in my yard. Still gave it a thumbs up.
Yea that and buffalo trace are super region dependent
From current supply
1) Old Forester 1910 (not that cheap but if I had to have a daily for life, I'd pay for it)
2) Kentucky Owl confiscated
3) Old Gran-dad 114
4) Old Forester 1920
5) Sweetens Cove (currently the most difficult to find bottle I have, especially not living in TN)
ECBP B520 daily, mixer, impress, Friday, Special...1920 for the washing.

Nailed it. Keep up the good work.
I subscribed immediately after the eagle imitation! Good stuff gentlemen
I.W. Harper 15-year-old Straight Bourbon Whiskey is excellent also...
Daily for me.. Mon-Wed:__ Old Bardstown __Thursday:__ Knob Creek Single barrel Friday: __Eagle Rare 10 Yr__Sat-Sun (AM) Four Roses single barrel Sat-Sun PM_ sleep...
Got to add a shop whiskey... one for storing and drinking ONLY at the shop (while working on non-dangerous tinkering type of projects).
That OF store pick from Tippins, 👍. They have some really solid picks there
Yea all of them that they do are pretty solid, same goes for A&B
I totally love the 1920.
For me,
1. Daily sipper: eagle rare, buffalo trace, Russell 10 (if you can't find the other two)
