- In an effort to not turn your living room into a Bourbon Bunker filled to the nines with bottles, we bring you 12(ish) Bourbons to have on your bar cart. This list is made with availability, price, and well-rounded function in mind, so if you don't see one of your favorites on here, we probably have a reason for it. That being said, selection is subjective, and we would love to hear what you keep on your bar cart!

I love how they both definitely have a buzz going
I need a bar cart first.... 😎
Love you guys! Y'all helped me start with Bourbon three years ago. Great cart....cool that y'all had Old Grand Dad 114 on your cart.
Old Grand Dad BIB is worth trying also.
This is my favorite bourbon review video. It inspired me to get into bourbons, buy a bar cart, and fill it with many of the bourbons they recommended.
I really like the Elijah Craig, 4 roses & just recently snagged a bottle of Weller's--yum!
ftbuddy edgy Sad
Four Roses single barrel is excellent
Too bad Elijah Craig 12 year old is gone
Paid $11 for WT101 at my local Trader Joe’s. What a steal!
Woodford Double Oak
Eagle Rare
Blanton’s
Wellers Antique
Buffalo Trace
Four Roses
All in my cart
And Rare Breed
Great start, thank you
If you carrying 12 bourbons in your bar cart, it’s no longer a bar cart, it’s become an actual bar.
😂😂 So true!
😂
What is a bar cart if not a bar that’s on wheels! Haha
I would love to see y'all make a video about your "balls-to-the-wall, money is no option, best possible" ultimate 12 bourbons bar cart.
My first bourbon experience was back in 2013. Started out with Wild Turkey 101. Excellent whiskey, and I've been through more bottles of that than I have with the others in my cabinet.
@@elijahfluw4347 Now that's the million dollar question, isn't it?
@@BloodySawBladeMY first bourbon experience was also with WT101! I was 16 and I swiped most of a bottle that had been leftover from a party my family had. It was really something how easy that went down, just swigging it from the bottle while sitting on the back of my friend's speedboat which was docked in a marina at night. Until about 90 minutes later when I was heaving something fierce over the side.
@@BigBadJerryRogers haha i can totally relate, similar situation! Thanks 4 the blast from the past!! :)
I was 14 when friends and I got into their parents makers mark. Never really been a fan. But I drank too much of it. I like Elijah Craig Small Batch. And Basil Hayden Toast.
Great video! Some very solid, practical choices here. And I'm glad you factored in availability and didn't suggest anything crazy to add to your cart. Thanks!
Thank you!
Lots of fun energy in your videos and a lot of good information. I'm a scotch lover who is trying to try more bourbon. Loved your live with Aqvavitae. The ECSB and Woodford are my favorite of the ones of these I've tried.
McKenna is a great value!! Found it at a local grocery store for $26 pretty sure I ended up buying like 5 of the 6 bottles they had over a period of time.
Great price.
ooooooooooooooo9pppkppkppop ol lo ok ok o lo ok op ok I poop poopo I ooppp9990⁰09099000
Love that you had 2 Evan Williams choices! I find Ezra Brooks Rye is CHEAP and makes a better Old Fashion than many top shelf bourbons. It's a bourbon that you can afford to intoxicate a large group with ease.
Thank y’all just learning about bourbons and y’all are so fun to watch
I’m in New Jersey and many of the bourbons on your cart are favorites of mine. Just a side note to Sara, in 2018 I found only bottles of Henry McKenna Bottled in Bond but in 2019 I bought 16 bottles ! It was in heaven.🥃
Thanks for putting this together. I now realize that I need a bar cart.
Yes. You do.
The Bourbon Diaries how does one get it up and down the stairs with the bottles on there..?
Koge pet sounds like you need two carts. You could have different bottles on each 😝
Fantastic list. I endorse every selection and have most of these myself!
I had a bottle of Woodford Reserve that I purchased
In 1992. The name on the bottle was Lincoln Henderson. I saved it for my wife and I share after our 30 year anniversary. We had that in 2019. One word. Unforgettable.
Thank you for the recommendations. The journey will be fun.
So cool! I have all but one of these on my shelf. Guess I’ll need to buy a bar cart now. Great video.
Dang I was thinking 1783 but was surprised you picked it. It's a great "new to bourbon, go easy on me" choice.
I agree with all but 3. I’ve been to a few of these. I 100% love the fact that you stayed true to KY. I’d love to get together and talk bourbon.
This is a great piece still today, that is so informative, and the selections are dead on. Made me wait until the end of the video for a rye which is Pikesville. It's my favorite whiskey right now, always available in MD for ~ $50 and I just love it.
Thanks for mentioning the O G 114. Great stuff for the price.
Four Roses bourbon was the best drink served during New Year's Eve👌
You two make a great couple. Great personalities and well spoken. I don't see wedding rings. Life's too short, make it happen love birds.
I love these two. This is one of my favorite bourbon channels.
Thanks so much!!
Thank you for doing this. I went shopping today and bought 5 bottles on the list. I feel so dumb for passing up WT 101 all these years. Sipping it rt now. 🥃
WT 101 is crazy good for the money. (Also check out Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. It's $17-ish in MA.)
Super, super, solid list here. And I love the concept, of having a selection out rather than leading the uninitiated into your whisk(e)y vault, ha ha. I've got most of these, but you have piqued my interest on a few I've overlooked -like the Pikesville Rye, the new Small Batch Select, and the EW 1783. Never had any of those yet. Cheers!
Great episode. Congrats on 3 years since episode 1. Amazing how many are on my bar currently. May need to get a bar cart.
I think we have 3 bar carts in total. hahaha
Thanks for a great video!!!! Now I have a shopping list ready to go. I have 4 of the 12 already, will fill it out soon.
This is hilarious I actually have every bottle you two chose 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I guess I'm sitting pretty good from you guys standards.
Totally!
You guys have gotten me on the Elijah Craig Small Batch train of late. Like you said, just a rock solid bourbon for any occasion. I'm a believer.
Ben Friend
Elijah Craig is so tasty. Plus the bottle is so easy to pour. No splash.
I was drinking Elijah Craig while watching this video....😁
Great video! Thanks for your passion and the education.
I honestly didn’t think you’d have the Evan Williams on there. The BiB is amazing. Best value I’ve found anywhere. $13. Seriously, beat that! Love that you have those bottles on there, true sign of a bourbon lover.
Great selection i must be doing it right cause im stocked on every one
Allocation is interesting; here in New England I see way more Eagle Rare than Buffalo Trace.
In summer of 2019 Sams Club in Myrtle Beach had a ton of ER at $26.
SO glad i ran into this video! You two are right on!
Hey guys Great Presentation!!
I'm a bourbon man through and through, really enjoyed your video & look forward to trying a few new ones!
Salute friends, St Lou out. 🍷
I have most of these on my bar cart. Old Forester 1920 is hard to find in my area, but I'm a huge fan of their regular 86 proof bourbon. It's not the best at anything but it does everything very, very well. It has a permanent spot on my bar cart (along with Wild Turkey 101, Eliza Craig small batch and Buffalo Trace), and always a reserve bottle on the lower shelves. My current bar cart has the following:
1) Old Forester 86 proof
2) Russell's reserve 10 year. (drinking this as I type)
3) Buffalo Trace
4) Jack Daniels
5) Jack Daniels Single Barrel Barrel proof (135 proof)
6) Knob Creek single barrel reserve (120 proof)
7) Jack Daniels Rye
8) Dewars White Label (I like scotch, sometimes. Nothing fancy)
9) Ezra Brooks 90 proof
10) Eliza Craig Small Batch (94 proof)
11) Evan Williams 1783
12) Makers Mark
13) Crown Royal
14) Wild Turkey 101
15) Bulleit Rye (the spiciest whiskey I know of. Fantastic, if in the mood)
I'm glad and thrilled to have seen Old Grand Dad make the cut on your bar cart. I loved drinking Old Grand Dad back in the days growing up and working in a liquor store. I was a little saddened that Old Crow, another true favorite of mine, did not make the cut. I would surely add Old Crow in my cart alongside Old Grand Dad.
Awesome video! Thank you for your input!
What the title says: "12 Bourbons You Need To Have On Your Bar Cart."
What I learned: I need to have a bar cart.
Likewise. I just told my wife I’m Turing out reading room to a bourbon room
Yah, Im thinkin a bar. Like these two.
😂
@@bodegaboys7475 Turing Out? Better just leave the house alone dude. 😅
@@petemitchell6788 lmbo. Apple auto correct is the dumbest feature lol. I see you needed to edit the message you sent to me.
Great vid, guys! Agree with you all around the cart. 1783 is a workhorse and one of the best values in the store. It wins a lot of blind tastings I do with friends. EC has become my go-to daily sipper and Rare Breed is where I turn when I need some big flavors!
Great Video... You should have said.. "But wait.. THERE'S MORE!!"
BigAceMe you must like Jaw Tooth!
Thanks for the great video. I had Bulleit, Buffalo Trace and Woodford Reserve. Just picked up my first bottle of Henry McKenna today.
In Michigan we have several local distilleries but one I am quite fond of is Grand Traverse. They have a cherry whiskey that is based with their bourbon and combined with cherry juice from one of the local cherry farms (I mean it's Michigan, cherries are kind of our thing) and I pick up a fifth of it every chance I get! So that would go on my bar cart :-)
Great idea. The last thing you want is for a guest to point at your hard-won, expensive / discontinued bottle and asking to sample it.
Because we all have that friend. Hey, let me taste that... Proceeds to drink half the bottle.
Hands down Eagle Rare is my go to. Aged 10 years and under $40. Solid go to! Four Roses, Wild Turkey 101 is another good one and Jim Beam Devils Cut
Eagle Rare is my favorite but it's ridiculously difficult to find in Virginia
ah good video, glad woodford was first, and was happy to see wild turkey on the shelf ...
Great vid. Love the selections. I’m a Buffalo Trace guy. Glad to have some other choices
Great choices guys ! I’d like to add my personal go to bourbon to your cart. You cannot go wrong with Bulleit bourbon. Great all around taste at a reasonable price. 🥃🥃🥃
I was waiting for that too 😉
This
Sadly, I live in France where my selection of bourbons are limited. But I truly enjoyed your video. Next trip to the states I’ll smuggle back a bar cart....filled..;-)
Is it really that hard? Even with online shops? (Not implying, just asking coz really curious, mon friend. :) )
I've been drinking scotch single malts and they're great. After watching this video I'm going to try your bourbon selection. Don't know how much I might have missed.
Thanks, loved this!
So far out of all those, I love the Wild Turkey Rarw Bread, I've tried 80% of the selection and all time favorite is the Rare Bread, hands down
Dude, so true! But what can we do to save it from the taters?
It's so crazy how different states can find different whiskey's easier than others. There's more eagle rare and ECBP up here at retail price than there is Mckenna or OGD 114. We are so madly in love with OF 1920 and Rare breed it's crazy! Solid whiskeys on that list for sure. Cheers!
For the love of Pete can you buy me a bottle of Eagle rare and I'll cash app you?? Lol
You guys make me want to try them all!✌🏼
Okay, I thought I enjoyed your videos, casually dropping in and out. but this list?! 👏👏👏 solid!! loving the Bourbon/Ramones parody T-shirts too!!!! The best gift from me to me for 2020!
Knob Creek single barrel has become my favorite bourbon under $100. Great stuff!
Same. Best bang for the buck in the bourbon world imo. 9 years, single Barrell, basically barrel proof, and big bold flavors? Yes, please.
Just picked up an old grandad 114, it’s just badass
It. Is. Awesome.
And great value.
Did a bourbon tour in TN and KY. Went to a small distillery and it's brand one first place several years ago. Pritchards single barrel whiskey. About $90.00 per bottle. Well worth it. Very smooth.
Great video, all great choices. (Now time to shop!)
McKenna - (buy for a friend)
Buffalo trace - (drink neat)
Elijah Craig- (neat/rock or cocktail)
Wild Turkey 101- (boozy cocktails)
Old Grand dad - (old time classic)
For me buffalo is very overrated and cant drink neat. Agree on everyone else! Find the faves!
Bought the 1920 yesterday. I love it!
Oh man that stuff is one of my favorite pours atm! Wish it was a tad cheaper though...
Great video ... Informative... Entertaining... I am glad to concur on most of your picks... the ones that I didn't agree with are only because I haven't tried them yet. Now I'm looking forward to trying them as well. Thanks
Thanks!
Thank God y’all finally included Old Forester
I totally agree with your Old Forester choice. My choice would be Old Forestor Sifnature 100 proof at 25 dollars and it's got a great flavor.
To share with friends, yes....to have for yourself, the 1920 is one of my favorites. OF 1920 is also a bit pricey to be sharing...especially if you're cheap like I am...LOL
I just had some OF 💯 last night with a splash of Islay single malt scotch whisky to add some smokiness to the sweet bourbon. I call it a Forest Fire. Delicious! 😄🥃
Knob Creek barrel picks are incredible.
Yessir!!! Also my daily driver 100 proof its damn good.
I concour
Since I agree with all of them, I cannot believe you didn't pick my absolute favourite! My heart literally skips a beat when I see Maker's Mark on the bar shelf. That's Old Fashioned ordered even before I come through the door.
Romysh Bellucci yes Makers belongs on any bar!
So glad I found you! Great recommendations. Cheers.
I really dig the Old Grand Dad Bonded for under $25 (East TN). It's my "works in public education" Basil Haydens. I used to love Eagle Rare but it really live up to its name these days...
OGD BIB is my go to for mixed drinks and OGD 114 is my go to for neat.
Challenge accepted. Found blantons, EH taylor, eagle rare, and weller antique in one stop at my local store. God Bless TN. and yes. It was MSRP
Score!
Great Video, have had all of these with the exception of Larceny, Pikesville and McKenna.
Just want to say, I have Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare, Blanton's, Weller, & 10 yr Old Van Winkle. And yes, all at MSRP. Really got lucky on the Weller and Van Winkle.And great video. Thanks
This was great! Thanks for a down to earth recommendation. You’ve got some really nice picks on there that are personal favorites.
I love the picks. I have a store i can get buffalo trace, eagle rare, blantons and sometimes weller
Where are you located?
Excellent choices, a few new for me too. Well done!
Was at a supermarket in the liquor aisle when I observed a man walk down the aisle and oblivious to all the choices grabbed a bottle off the shelf and walked away with it. I was able to determine that it was a bottle of Buffalo Trace whiskey. So due to this mans binding selection I also bought a a bottle. Some great whiskey if there ever was great whiskey.
1920 One of my favorites right now hands down
Also, Jim Beam Single Barrel is one of my everyday sippers. Just over $30 in my area.
literally just finished a glass of buffalo trace … DELICIOUS. i’ve had most of these bourbons and agree 100 percent . we think alike lol
I was happy to see ancient age on your shelf. It's surprisingly good for a $10 bourbon. Being from Woodford county, I enjoyed your first pic. Overall, there are only 25 different bourbons on my shelf.
Here in Tennessee we have Chattanooga Whiskey now, which they’re starting to release their own spirit now! But even just their MGP finished in local beer barrels is some fantastic stuff.
Lizzy Williams agree Chattanooga’s Barrel proof is nectar of the gods
Lizzy Williams I agree. I’ve had a few of the 1816 offerings (including the beer barrel finished ones) and liked all of them. Good whiskey!
@@tldhthompson We travel to Chattanooga once a year and I was lucky to get to try the new 91 and 111 varieties. I was really impressed by the new stuff considering it's barely over two years old. I loved the 1816 offerings.
The Evan Williams bottle in bond excellent value!
guezcisco only $17.99 in Michigan!!
Indeed it is good bourbon. My go to bourbons are Old Crow, Evan Williams/ Bonded.
Great review. For sure you’ve got some great picks. Yes, Basil Hayden will always be on my cart, as it’s just a solid pick for me.
Like a dozen donuts, you have 13... Love it...
When I was still a Bourbon rookie, I walked into a Grocery Store offshoot near me. Kind of a ghetto grocery store/pharmacy on a much smaller scale of the parent company. To my surprise, they had 4 bottle of Blanton's. I'd heard this was good stuff, so I bought a bottle for $40. I ran through it pretty quickly. A friend of mine actually drove to Lexington KY just to buy a bottle of Blanton's, but they didn't have any for sale. I said I'd check my little spot in the hood to see if they had any....low and behold they did....4 bottles, I bought 2, gave one to him. He felt stupid. I'm going back there today to see if they still have it....if they do I'll buy all they have.
Aaron McVay you need to start a business flipping blantons
@@williamsheppard2026 I'd be too scared to part with any bottles...I've only got 1 un-opened left.
This feel like the 90-2000s jewelry show on channel 299. You even have the rotating table display.
I’m glad you mentioned Ole Forester, 86 proof , it’s a good Old Brand of Whiskey 👍
A great video. I cannot take any exception to any of your recommendations. We are fortunate to have several big box spirit stores with good selections and decent prices. But sometimes, some recommendations such as Old Grand Dad 114 are no where to be found. H.L Weller Special Reserve is also difficult. But your list will please the palate of any bourbon drinker, old and new. I especially appreciated your recommendation of Larceny in place of Maker's Mark. Marker's was the first decent bourbon I sampled three decades ago. It is always a good go to bourbon if you are at a bar with a limited bourbon selection. But Larceny is an especially fine, drinkable bourbon for much less than Makers. Personally I like the higher proof offerings, and if I could have added one, it would have been a Booker. But an excellent selection all around.
I was surprised when I didn't see any Bulliet on the cart but then I saw... it's not event on the wall?! Good day sir!
I believe the Bulleit is reserved for the "other" cart. You know, for the aristocrat.
Love me some Tattoo Edition!
Great vid. One thing I think that makes your channel stand apart is the editing. VERY smooth. Keep up the good work Chad!
Thank you!!
I actually cheered out loud when you picked the Old Grand Dad 114. Best kept secret in the bourbon world. It's amazing.
Stop talking about it or it will go the way of Henry McKenna
Really great choices! I couldn’t put the Old Forester on the cart, that stays hidden. Great bottle!
For the price, I am a big fan of Bulliet. I can still get it for $28 US. Their Barrel proof is fantastic too, but its over twice the price and hard to find.
Bulliet rye is great.
I was drinking Maker's Mark while watching this :)
Mike Heller MM is only thing I drink
Hell yea!
I agree with that. Some of what they picked is not good in my opinion
Great show. Great looking room, lighting and video
Thanks so much!
Knob Creek barrel proof must be amazing because i went to a local store on a sunday and they had an entire shelf full. But i was just browsing this day. I went the following Saturday to pick up a bottle and they were completely gone! 120 proof for the same price as the regular small batch. I truly missed out.
