Lol “I hate him anyway”! Cat
Great line up!
With you on the EC!
Hands down best whiskey I’ve tasted Harmony! Go get it.
Makers is always my go to. Just solid.
This is great. Thank you
Got maker’s mark and can’t stand it so far.
Big shooter going full saucy in a glencairn. Fuck yeah bud, keep your stick on the ice
I’m looking for a good bourbon with a solid hint of buttery vanilla. Any recommendations? Maybe $25-$45
Great review. My first bourbon was Wild Turkey 101 but I wouldn’t recommend it as a beginner choice. Still laughing about the cat comment.
Excellent choices. however I would replace the Buffalo with Knob Creek or Four Roses small batch as you already have a great buffalo selection in Eagle Rare. Cheers!
Bulleit any good?
You look so familiar man! I’m from traverse city originally. Good to see you helping out the beginner scene!
Great videos. I have been a whiskey(e)y/bourbon/scotch fan for 6 years. Great stuff.
What’s up Homie I love your videos. I’m trying to see if I like whiskey or bourbon never tried bourbon before I like smooth very little burn if none at all which do you Recommend
Just picked up some Woodford Reserve, figured i’;d try it… really nice stuff for sure. Definitely a pick up.
I agree with this list very much. I personally am not a fan of Makers Mark, but due to availability I back you on it!
I would take out Maker’s and Eagle Rare and replace them with Henry McKenna 10 yr and Larceny.
Super jealous of the High West glass
This is my top 5 beginner Bourbon List
1 Eagle Rare 10yr
2 Woodford Reserve Double Oak
3 Wild Turkey Rare Breed
4 Rebel Yell Small Batch
5 Henry McKenna 10 yr
Have you had any Clyde Mays? Also what would you recommend for on the rocks?
I purchased my first bottle of bourbon two weeks ago. I went with the Elijah Craig. I’m enamored with it. It’s got great flavor and a phenomenal buzz to it. I’ve been a Scotch guy for years, but I’m really digging the bourbon.
Got My self a bottle of woodford reserve last night can’t wait to try it out for the first time. I’m very new to the bourbon/whiskey game
Of the 5 I have only tried the Elijah Craig (but I have the one with the age statement) and the Makers. The Elijah is in my opinion MUCH better than the Makers.
Comment #200 🙂 Great video!
I need to step up my review game so I can pick up the kind of subscribers you have. Cheers Dave!! Also maybe we can do a colaberation one day?
Eagle Rare is great but I’m on the fence about it being on this list from an availability standpoint. I also will take Woodford Reserve over any of these; just my personal preference 🙂
Great video ! And, excellent choices of good bourbons. I would add one more that I think is excellent for beginners: Four Roses Single Barrel (fantastic for the price, around 35 bucks here in Ohio). Thanks again for great review !
I drink Seagrams VO and Crown Royal. Bourbon I can drink once in a while, but SKOTCH??? I would rather have a glass of diesel fuel anytime. I cannot STAND a drink of VO if they measured a chot of skotch just before putting the VO in it, I make them wash the jigger and give me another drink.
Being new to bourbon, thank you for putting this together. I bought some Buffalo Trace and put it on ice and love it. My other favorite is Four Roses Single Barrel.
A great addition here would be a the Henry McKenna BiB! Tasty and cheap (for now).
Only Trash!
Woodford
As a relatively new bourbon drinker, I’ve had 3 of these. Buffalo Trace is one of my favorites, Woodford and makers both feel a little strong for a beginner to me. Honestly, my favorite bourbon so far, and what seems to me the smoothest, is Basil Hayden. Can’t get enough of it. Love the show!
wow this guy is an apologetic cuck–men should not be allowed to act like this while discussing whiskey.
I just started my whiskey journey a few months ago. I noticed that the price of buying a glass of whiskey when you go out to a restaurant is sometimes more expensive than just buying the bottle. For example, I never tried Buffalo Trace, so when I saw it on a restaurant menu I ordered it neat and paid $7.50 for just a glass when I could have purchased a bottle for just over 27 dollars!
I love Markers Mark
Another good starter bourbon around $40 is four roses small batch
You take too long to say the top 5.
life story much
Old Forester 100 is better than Woodford Reserve and costs several dollars less. Same distiller, same mash bill, but with less aging that results in more subdued oak, and with butterscotch and caramel flavors that really pop.
Redemption! Just picked up tonight on dale $25.00
Once anyone tries the Elijah. Knob Creek, makers wouldn’t make the list.
Elijah Craig 12 year isn’t available anymore? It’s been a while since I drank bourbon, but that was always my go to. Also, it was $16.99 for a 750 mL. (2 years ago) but I don’t live in MI.
Should have included Wellers Special Reserve. Same pricing. Went to a tasting class of 10 bourbons EC and Wellers SR were the top ones even over 50 dollar bottles.
Every one of those bourbons, except makers mark are between $70 to $100 here in Australia.
They are all top shelf bourbons here. Only makers mark can be bought at any liquor store, the rest you would have to specially order.
So crazy that in the US all of these bottles are differently priced, in the U.K. I’ve only seen the first 4 but they all cost £20 a bottle
Enjoy your videos and review style. Is Drew Barrymore your sister…cant help but see a resemblance.
Love your reviews. I’m New to YouTube and learning . Any tips to help get the subscribers up for a fellow whiskey YouTuber. Cheers!
i have no issues spending 60-100 bucks on something I want. And I can’t find Blanton’s
anywhere.
5 shots would have me buzzing hard , do you get buzzed after this video is done?
Buffalo Trace Distillery is an interesting and free tour. Highly recommend them. Also, Willets is still family owned and operated. Willets is excellent as well. Johnny Drum Private Stock is amazing.
