Bonding Over Bourbon
Добавлен 3 авг 2023
There's a lot of whiskey out there, just waiting to be found, and we'll help you find it.
On Bonding Over Bourbon, we go around hunting bottles, highlighting liquor stores, and showing you everything they've got - the good, the bad, the often overlooked, and the allocated. When we're not hunting for bottles, we like to decode the mystery and legacy behind legendary distilleries and the products that they make. Our videos have inspired people to drive cross-country in search of their favorite unicorns, and we spark excitement in those fortunate enough to drive home with the bottle of their dreams. Join two native Chicagoans (Chris & Kat) as we drive from store to store, and from city to city, in search of killer deals and showing you where to find them.
There's a story inside of every bottle, waiting to be told. So crack open your favorite bottle, grab yourself a pour, and join us. After all, life's too short to not enjoy it.

Bourbon Hunting: A Follower Told Us to Go and We Listened
Wow. Great job hunting! If you put in the time and effort, good things will happen. Glad you were rewarded. Cheers
We appreciate the kind words. Now it's time to over-correct the budget and cut down on our spend 💸
You must have good jobs lol
Hahah we each have 2 jobs considering we're making content, but we're trying to make this one full-time 😅
Nice video. Great bottle pick ups! I'm still looking for the Blue Note Bourbon Honey. I want the Wheel Horse Cigar Blend! 😢
Word is the Wheel Horse bottles are starting to drop. Keep your 👀 peeled
You know wat year is that GTS in the bond shop?
Not offhand, but I can get you more information. Send an email to bondingoverbourbonpodcast@gmail.com so we can keep in touch.
Coy 🤤 Hill 🤤
Legendary! 🙌👑🥃
🙌🙌🙌
I got my first bottle of Blantons! Im excited to have checked a box in terms of my "first" finer allocated bottle but boy i wouldve killed for an msrp stagg jr. blantons is just low proof for me overall.
Congrats! Stagg is definitely some of the better stuff out on the market. How does it feel to grab something harder to find than your usual bottles?
@BondingOverBourbon it's a little bizarre just because of the bottle I question... I think I'm in the "overhype" camp on it! It felt really cool however for my binny's bourbon-Sherpa to go "hey kid, I got something for you under my coat in the alley" and bring me in the rare room the moment he saw me!
Couldn't agree more. But hey, have the fun is the thrill of the hunt, and you're starting to level up to getting bigger bottles.
@@BondingOverBourbon If you werent aware, Whiskey Acres out in Mchenry is dropping their blue popcorn on Dec 6th! I plan on going to snag a couple bottles with my wife
@AThousandSons1 Thanks for the heads-up. Is it distillery only?
Great video and awesome haul! Really dig me some Wheel Horse bourbon and rye. Is that cask strength cigar blend in our market? Where can I score me a bottle!?
Thanks for watching! Right now, I don't think it's in our market, but it's only a matter of time right before it is.
Nice Haul. Mitchers 10 is my top bottle that I'm hunting right now. Congrats
Thanks! We hope you find it 🙏
Just picked up a Barrell foundation yesterday for $50 here in michigan, my wife grabbed an OF 1920 instead of a 1910 the other day by mistake. Old Overholt 10 or 11 are my 2 bottles at the top of my list. Great Haul 👍 Cheers 🥃
Thanks for watching, Tom!
Nice haul! Kentucky Owl, a love-hate relationship. The Confiscated had a wonderful nose but none of it followed through to the palate and its price point was just wrong. $40 juice in a $80 glass bottle, in my opinion. Nice score on the Coy Hill and the Pappy 20! My area's raffles are currently ongoing with drawings this coming weekend except for two other stores, one will end middle of December and the other in early January. Pappy 23, Pappy 20, Pappy 15, 13 Rye, multiple Lot B 12, multiple ORVW 10, WLW, GTS, Handy, Sazerac 18, Coy Hill, Four Roses LE, Michter's 10 bourbon and Michter's 10 rye. There's a fair amount of mid-tier bottles available as well. Woodman's had their raffle already but it is only for Wisconsin residents. It's the tri-state area here, lots of people from Minnesota and Iowa do their shopping at the Onalaska Woodman's. That boosts their allocation but they don't extend the courtesy back. They do however have the lowest prices for shelfers and that's the only reason I frequent the store. I don't have high hopes already. I chat with the managers every chance I can and even over just the weekend there were already people trying to take entry slips out of the store to make copies (you have to ask for a slip), people attempting to fill out multiple entry slips per day (it's supposed to be once per each entry day), people dropping off slips for "family members" (you can only enter yourself each day), etc. The stores have been well aware of these shenanigans for years and they have made changes to try and police it but it hasn't really made much of an impact. My guess is it will be the usual suspects hoovering almost everything up and I'll see these same bottles magically listed on the forums/groups/discord for 4-10x what they paid. Greed has gutted the joy and fun right out of whiskey.
The number of hoops that people are willing to jump through for some of these bottles is both impressive and a little sad at times. We'll have to check out that store, though. We're going to need more shelfers eventually.
@@BondingOverBourbon Unfortunately it's the circumstances I have to put up with in my area if I want any allocated bottles. Every so often I can take an extended road trip to either the Twin Cities or down to Chicago. However, I have no idea what I may or may not find when I'm there.
Hopefully those trips are worth it!
Need that team tater shirt for Mark!!! Thanks for the great content and advice
Thanks for watching! Did either of you crack open those raffle bottles yet?
@@BondingOverBourbon not yet we are working our way through an advent calendar I made for our little whiskey group
Did you make it to Ayra’s other location it’s not as big as the Oak Creek store but it offers the same great selection in Racine see you at the raffle and I’m pretty sure the Wisconsin Bourbon Bros will be there
We haven't been yet, but we plan on going back to Wisconsin sometime in the near future, so we'll check it out
I talked to the Wisconsin Bourbon Bros and they will be there the one on the 21st is at the Racine store on Washington see ya there as well
That's amazing! We finally get to meet some of our RUclips family.
What about ancient ancient age? 10 Star !!!!!
Love the stuff! What about it?
@BondingOverBourbon no I would like to have that. They don't have it in my area. Neither the 90 or the 10 star but I'm glad you got at least the 90. I only get the 80 ancient age
Wonderful haul! Congratulations guys.
Thanks, Mary! Couldn't do it without your continued support and encouragement 🙏
Still Austin cigar blend is intriguing 🤔
We've put our feelers our and are very excited to try it if we can grab it.
@@BondingOverBourbonis that gonna be Still Austin’s first finished product?
Not their first finished (they've done a few local only releases), but it is their first nation-wide release and first cigar blend.
Could not agree more on Starlight, not a big fan. But my wife loves the blackberry
The blackberry is solid with a lemonade mixer
Can you pin it in the description? The bottle shop. I searched for it and nothing came up
Fixed the link in the description. There's plenty of goodies to find!
Yeah I just tried again and whiskey bonded’s bottle shop comes up. I checked way back in the search results and nothing
@@BondingOverBourbon thanks
@stevenreep385 the link is pinned on our profile as well if you're having any trouble
@@BondingOverBourbon you’re correct! Michters barrel strength rye on its way to my house
Great video! I feel the same about Blanton's, Starlight Cigar Blend🤮, and Woodford DO. I've been looking for that Wheel Horse Cigar Blend!😲 I keep striking out whenever I think I've finally found it. Keep up the great work! 🥃
Thanks for watching! Keep asking your store owners about incoming store picks and you're bound to find it eventually.
Website looks great! The Ben Holliday and the Mary Dowling are on my list. Have a great holiday weekend.
Thanks for watching and checking out the site! Happy Thanksgiving!
Hard pass on all Benchmark. I just don’t get it.
They might not be perfect replacements, but they're at least a more affordable and attainable option in a rapidly inflating market.
Truth
Eagle Rare is a fav for me but I really only reach for it in spring and summer months 🥃🦅
I completely agree with the Old Foresters Barrel Strength Bourbon, I have one that is pure ethanol, not very enjoyable. Chicago Bourbon Club/Brownstone did a pick that was pretty good though. Still trying to get that Jeopson’s maple finished bourbon
We're rooting for you to find it!
Hey buddy I just ordered from Atlantic. Cigars need to look into them
I'll check it out 🤙
I think my favorite part about your channel is that it's really cool to see how aligned up our pallets are. I felt the same way you did on almost every single bottle you described (besides Mary D bc I never had her before) in this video. Another great video! I'll see you Saturday!
Love to hear that your palate matches ours! I knew we liked you for a reason 😉 But seriously though - try that Mary Dowling before it's gone!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the Wheel Horse! After I opened mine, I brought it to a bottle share and I did not come home with anything left!! Absolutely love 1910 vs Woodford DO and you know my feelings on the Benchmark line! Great content and spot on!
Damn! I mean, it's crazy good value! We're so happy to have it in our collection. Thanks for watching, Tony.
I totally agree on the Woodford double oaked. Disagree on the Old Forester 1910.
Are you not a fan of 1910?
Just picked up your store pick it is EXCELLENT!
Amazing 🙌 Thanks for the support! We're very glad that you enjoyed it as much as we do.
@BondingOverBourbon I'm newer to bourbon as a hobby/interest and you guys being local Chicagoland has been super cool :) any particular local fests/events to keep an eye out for?
@AThousandSons1 glad we can help you grow your collection. Check the Binny's website regularly to check out the store events that they do. Some are crazy big!
Bottle shop is live! Head to bondingbottle.shop to find the bottles you're looking for.
Thanks for Visiting!!
Thanks for watching, and for having such a great program for cool bottles 😎
I enjoyed this video. I also checked out the bottle shop. Easy layout, fair prices for sure and you have quite a few on there already.
Thanks, Tom! I worked very hard on making sure we had a robust selection of options for reasonable prices. I'll be adding more as we go.
was surprised to see eagle rare on the list but after thinking about it I kind of agree. It hasn't been a bottle I've reached for recently... but on the flip side, it's typically one of the more reasonably priced pours at bars/restaurants near us, so I can't quite write it off
We absolutely agree with you, and you bring up a really good point. We may just have to enjoy this one at a bar every once in a while instead of at home.
I need to pick up a wheel horse. That Woodford DO is pretty good in an Old Fashioned. I’ve heard great stuff about Benchmark also. Thanks for sharing. Great review. That Ben Holiday is a good one to. Cheers🥃🥃🥃
Wheel Horse is one of the better value brands on the market right now. We haven't had Woodford DO as an old fashioned, but you're basically the authority on that cocktail so we'll give it a try. Thanks for watching!
Great video! I finally tried the sample of your Jeppson's pick. It was really good. Need to check out more offerings from them.
We're glad you enjoyed it! They have some really great releases and an awesome single barrel program.
I enjoy the Wheel Horse Cigar Blend as well. Easy drinking bottle that disappears too fast.
Couldn't agree more! We'll have to try to use a lot of discipline.
Great video! What I love about your channel is that you always recommend great smaller alternatives to the big FOMO bottles. I've been drinking whiskey long enough to remember when Wellers were on every shelf for cheap prices and High West was an unknown and brand new offering. Many of these bottles that you guys recommended could very well be the ones everyone is chasing 5 years from now. Why wait for others to catch on when there are so many great alternatives just sitting there. Keep up the fantastic content
Thanks, that's exactly what we're trying to do! Thanks for watching and being able to see our vision for what value we can bring to WhiskeyTube. We always appreciate your comments and support.
Thank you, some good recommendations!
We hope they help you out! Cheers!🥃
I'm very curious about the legality of forced bundles for allocated products. There's a NMBB store that I visit in the Chicagoland area that has all their allocated bournons bundled into $500-$800 purchases. If I want a Stagg Jr, I'm forced to buy a JWB and four more bottles. It's crazy.
That's insane! I've heard of some bundling, but never anything like that.
May I ask a dumb question? What is a NMBB store? Thanks, I'm fairly new to this and truly don't know what it is.
A large retail chain or store (Binny's/Total Wine, etc) that doesn't require a membership like (Costco/Sam's Club does
@@BondingOverBourbon Thank you
I’ll have to give Jeppson’s a try. Thanks guys!
Thanks for watching! We hope you're able to find some soon.
It deserves to sit at $150.
what target is THAT!
Logan Square
Why don’t you show all the bottles you bought?
Not all the bottles we picked up were from stores, and not all places we purchased bottles at wanted us to film. We don't include these bottles because we don't want to lead people to believe that we got them during that video.
What was the dusty from a decade ago?
We found another Jim Beam Rye from 2012 on the bottom shelf
@@BondingOverBourbon I thought that's what it was. need to catch up on my dusty knowledge
@dominiccampos7297 Sometimes, you can just tell that the labels don't look as modern.
I thought it was the JD Tennessee Rye 😂🥃
Now I notice the different background music! You guys always discover these places around town I've never heard of before. Impressed with their scotch selection. Maybe in the future you guys could pan a little closer to the independent bottlings of scotch so we can see exactly what distilleries they are. Cheers.
We'll give it a shot!
I just wanted to say I don't know where you cigars but I like cigar Daly is a good place online I get mine there
I'll check them out. Thanks!
@BondingOverBourbon yes sir
Lots of good ones for a gas station 👍💯😬 Cheers 🥃
Almost too many options to be honest 😂
$42 for the Pursuit Oak Collection Sherry Finished rye was an unbelievable steal! #triggered
Longrow 21 just sitting on the shelf…
We've never had it before. Is it super hard to find?
Yes. It’s usually behind the glass if you even see it. On the shelf there it looks like the tag says $660 which is about $40 less than i have ever seen it. Only about 3-4000 bottles are made annually, not sure how many make it to the states? It’s the peated version of Springbank
That's crazy! Didn't realize we had such a gem sitting right in front of us.
I've heard great things about the bigger pride stores. Great find, great vid! You guys have done it again!
Turns out that everything you heard might be true. Thanks for watching!
