👍
Not all heroes wear capes…
What an king move. Thank you - and you didn't even ruin the surprise.
I like Makers Mark Cask Strength better but then again WT 101 kind of tastes like mm cask strength
This is hands down the most comprehensive beginner bourbon list. I love it man! Thank you for everything you do!
I wish those were still the prices for these…
This right here is why you're my favorite channel. The history and storytelling is spot on very interesting. Well done sir.
I am fortunate to have them all in my 175 Bottle collection that started about 40 years ago. I was glad to see OF 1920 on the list. You saved the best for last. I only pay normal retail for bourbon. I have several bottles that were purchased only about 7 years ago for under $40.00 that are now impossible to find such as Rock Hill Farms and Elmer T. Lee. There is no reason to chase allocated bourbons when there are so many good bourbons under $60.00 that are on the shelf everyday. Great List!
What’s your favorite 5-10 great bourbons that are usually available?
@@johnklose6540 All of these are available in most stores here in CT and are all less than $60.00. Old Forester single barrel, Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit and Rare Breed, George Remus, Russell’s Reserve single barrel and 10 year, Knob Creek small batch, Makers 46, Four Roses single barrel, Woodford double Oak.
@The 0% Liberal Show I’m looking to pick up a bottle of that today! Cheers from Florida!
I know its been a while , but …Was wandering if any bottles over the years in your collection , does the bourbon change at all over the years . I mean would a nice bourbon save for 10 yrs . Say at 1/3 a bottle left ?
@@m.ramsey6396 The bourbon will definitely change over time depending on how much air is in the bottle, how long it has been, the temperature it is stored at and how good a seal you have. If you have a bottle that is 2/3 full and is only a year old it is probably like new. A 1/3 full bottle a few years old is much different than when it was first opened. If you have a small amount of a bourbon that you want to keep intact, put it in a smaller bottle.
If someone were to make a top 10 whiskeytube videos you need to watch, this would be in it. And probably 5 more of your videos. You'd dominate the list, let's be frank. Thanks for the knowledge!
Nope Matt at ADHD Whiskey rules the internet
Pulls cork. Murrica! Cracks me up every time.
I started drinking bourbon 6 years ago at a bar called Husk in Charleston, SC. Asked for a bourbon for a person who wanted to like it but was struggling to get over the harshness. Bartender served me Basil Hayden in a special glass with this huge ice ball. Next day, he introduced me to Woodford's and 3rd day Blanton's. Thanks to your channel, my collection has grown. I think I tend to love anything from Buffalo Trace or Heaven Hill right off the bat but working on branching out
Facts 👍
Basil Hayden is the gateway to bourbon and you gotta appreciate it for what it is. It’s like your first love, you appreciate them for the memories but probably never wanna go back once you’ve moved on from it!
Love Husk😎
My gateway bourbons were OF 100 and Larceny.
@@100puremustard5 I have not had Old Forester yet but I will soon. Larceny is wonderful. I may need a second job to support my bourbon habit after finding this channel
This is fantastic. Not only are picks really solid choices, but loved the consideration of the history and stories behind each of these selections. This really shows your passion for the history of this beloved spirit, and the enjoyment you get passing that along to others. I can appreciate the research that must have went into this particular video and kudos to the presentation of this interesting information, all while keeping it under 30 minutes. Great work...thank you :)
LOVED this video!!! Great shots of the Whiskey room and a great list for ANY whiskey lover.
Absolutely loved this video Jason. This is an amazing list. Great job!
I'm just starting to get into bourbon and this was very helpful. I especially appreciate the history you included. Great video!
I loved watching this because I have a list of “10 Bourbons to start with” that I made to share with friends getting into bourbon. I got my list as I watched and 7 of them were exactly the same. It’s great your $400 list had exactly 10. The three that were different were: you had Makers 46, EH Taylor SB (still hard to find in N Texas), and G Remus (I have a full proof GR that I love). My three that were different that I had were: WT Rare Breed (nothing wrong with 2 Turkey’s), 1792 Small Batch, and Regular Buffalo Trace.
Great list for people starting to learn about bourbon. I tell them to subscribe to your channel too and they will pick up a lot. Cheers 🥃
Tremendous list. I have most of these on hand right now and have had all of them in my collection at some time. Great combination of price, quality, variety, and history. Cheers! 🥃
This is a great lineup Jason! A little bit of everything to explore and find your preferences through in the bourbon journey, also all hitters in their own right. Cheers!
Really enjoyed the list and a little history lesson. Seeing I’m a scotch guy that has recently been bitten by the bourbon bug, I have 3 of those bottles. I’m a bit surprised not to see 1792, Evan Williams, Old Grandad BiB, or Henry McHenna.
This is probably my favorite bourbon video. What a great list. I’m glad I have a few of these bottles in my beginner bourbon collection.
Very educational.
Someone will have the most difficult time coming up with a list that is better. As usual you nailed this. All hail the king go whiskey review!
Solid list for beginners. I completely agree! Loved the history you shared behind them all as well.
"That's right, I said it" beautiful!
Love the selections are based on history and sharing stories with your friends!
As a beginner, I really enjoyed this. It's obvious how much work you put into this. Thanks for doing it!
Other than the Remus, which I've never seen on a shelf, I always keep the rest of the list in my collection. This list is a great variety of flavors that anyone can appreciate.
What’s your list ?
LOVE IT! Thanks soooooo much for all the history!!!!!
Hands down the absolute best "list" video with a splendid blend of history and product! This content is why this channel earned my patronage.
Your whiskey room and layout is very impressive Jason! I'll have to steal some of your ideas to build my own some day!👍
Thanks for the history lesson. It adds to the overall bourbon experience. Great job!
A rather delicious way to start a collection. I've been enjoying bourbon for over 40 years, but only began collecting it during the pandemic. I've had about half of these on my shelf in the last year.
I recently started learning and collecting whiskey and I am excited to see that I have all these bottles except the Remus, Maker 46 and 4 roses high rye. Makes me feel good about my journey so far. Also, I learned that I really like a sweet wheated bourbon, such as Weller. Which means maker 46 here I come! Thanks again for the great video and content. Love this type of history/educational videos. Cheers!
You never cease to amaze me. Wow . Your knowledge of the subject matter and the historical background give life to the Bourbon whiskey you are discussing.
Awesome video Jason. Would love to see this trend on WhiskeyTube like the “You Only Need 5 Bottles” videos that have made their rounds!
Great selection Jason. I couldn’t agree with you more. Generally available most everywhere. And good representation of the major distillers
I started my bourbon journey about a month ago and love this channel. I have learned so much in that short amount of time. I hope to start my collection soon, already have Knob Creek and going on the hunt for more. Thanks for the channel!
Thanks buddy. Glad your enjoying the content.
Love the list, I just started collecting bourbon about 8months ago and have been watching your channel and a few others (bourbon junkies, ADHD whiskey and The deathless dogs) for tips on what to buy and I am happy to say I have every bottle in this list except the George Remus, I haven't been able to find that but I'm still looking! Loved this video and everything you put out, please keep them coming :)
The best part about this video, is the education of each bottle! Well done sir! 👍🏽 Cheers!
I started Bourbon hunting 3 months ago. So far I have a buffalo trace store pick, a trails end 8 year, eagle rare, Breckenridge reserve blend, and an EH Taylor small batch. So excited to see what I hunt next
Dam that’s a nice start, especially that Taylor
Bravo sir 👏👏👏 absolutely love videos like this. Extremely informative and this is a great start to ANY collection
100% agree! Just started my bourbon path 12/22 and I have all of these already. All great choice’s Jason!
Digging the 10 bottle lay out even the bonus. Fabo job! Of course, you did this video after I was already 40 bottles in 🤷🏽♀️ cheers! 🥃
This is really well chosen. I can't disagree with a thing -> though i'd maybe make Rare Breed my bonus bottle.
Love the Wild Turkey Rare Breed, both, bourbon and especially the rye...
AMEN 🙏!!!!!!!!
Or even a cheap one like Evan Williams BIB
@@jeremybaumgartner867 no. Just no lol. All I get on the ew bib is new oak and not much else. But you can’t expect greatness for a $20 1.75L bottle imo.
@@Sleepy_spartan717 What I am saying is, for the price you can’t get much better than Evan Williams BIB! It is so great for around $20!
So, I just bought my 1st Whiskey, I'm 53 yrs old, LoL, this video is friggin great.
Got yourself a new Subscriber, thank you Sir.
Loved this episode. Great history and great bourbon for anyone’s collection. Well done!
I have everything but the Remus. I'll have to pick that one up. Love the whiskey room. Very nice.
Dude you’re very knowledgeable in bourbon’s. I’m sure it took time to do your research, because of the leg work you put in, I subscribed today. I look forward to future videos and discovering your previous uploads.
Great story behind each bottle, well done!!
The way you seamlessly weave in the history with the profile with your own personal commentary makes for a very quick 25 minutes! Happy to say I’ve got 10 of 11 on the shelf (Uncle Remus... Where are you???). Well done!
Great list Jason. Looks like I need to do some shopping. Taylor, 4 roses and Remus are the 3 I am missing. Keep up the good work!
Started collecting less than 2 years ago and have acquired 40 bottles so far (about 2 a month on a limited budget). I was pleased to find that I have 7 of your 10 selections. Learning more as I continue the journey. Thanks for your content.
Great starting point. Most are accessible, a few are allocated here in VA but come around often enough. It's just enough to get the hunting bug.
Glad you mentioned Wild Turkey 101. I used to be a night watchman at a Power Plant and when it got freezing cold out at night, 101 was the juice that kept me warm. Blanket in a bottle. I can still purchase a liter for around $20 bucks . Good stuff and thanks for the video.
Excellent list! Lots of great bourbons in there. I’m still new to bourbons and am learning new things every day. Gathering good bourbons to share, you want them all, right now! Haha! As a friend told me, “it’s a marathon, not a sprint”. I stumbled across Eagle Rare at a Target near me just yesterday. Guy was opening the box as I rounded the corner to the liquor aisle. Cheers!
What a freaking awesome channel. Great job on the history, editing, and of course the list!! 👌
Thank you! Been drinking Bulleit for years and decided this year to branch out and explore. I buy one bottle at a time, and this video will save me so much time as I hunt around for my perfect bourbon.
Amazing list, I own every one of those! Hilarious we share the same distaste for Haydens...lol! Thanks again Jason!
Jason, that is a solid list!
Blanton's was actually the first bottle of bourbon I ever owned. Was a gift from one of my professors back in 2005. I'd have to credit him and that bottle with really getting me into bourbon.
If RUclips translated this for Canadian viewers it would be titled "The Perfect $1,500 Bourbon Collection for Hardcore Hunters"
more like 750,,,come on..lol
geez, I know. $35 for WT 101 here.
Bring me a case of Caribou Crossing and we can work something out. You can find the whole list at retail any day of the week minus the BT products.
As a Canadian, I can confirm this to be true.
Here in Oz that collection is just over $1000.00.
But the sharing with friends and family is well worth it.
For a newby such as myself thats a GREAT GREAT selection! Thanks Mr.C
I will now have to look even harder for G. Remus to complete these 11. It was next on my list anyway but nowhere nearby.
Loved the video. Will forward to others.
Great educational video!! Thanks
Appreciate this. Good blending of history with your recommendations.
Love this episode. A good list.
This is a fantastic idea and a great list! Only additions/changes I would suggest would be maybe a barrel proof (like ECBP), a store pick, and a rye (I understand it’s a bourbon list, but I certainly wish I gave rye a chance earlier in my journey). Either way, great video!
ECBP is now marked up to $200 here😡
Love the concept and selections of this video. I am a big fan of many RUclips bourbon sites but you always nail it, Jason. You totally had me up until the Blanton's.
Great video! As a beginner I am really enjoying your brand- keep 'em rolling!
Excellent list to start a collection with, nice broad representation of what bourbon has to offer. I went through just about all of these when I started, Knob Creek (before the loss of age statement) and OF120 were holy sh!t moments for me, it was like I was tasting bourbon for the first time. I still love Eagle Rare and EHT but sadly they’re becoming increasingly hard to find at retail, even stores I used to get them for at retail have them jacked up by $20 over now. Oh well, as long as I can get WT101 for $20 I’m good.
Old Forester 1920 for me is always up there. Everyone has been getting me Blanton's at retail from the airport duty free lol
What airport?
@@colbyshaw2256 Miami but I have seen some posted from Dallas and Atlanta airport
I have about half of these already in the collection. And tried most of the others. Haven't had Blantons or George Remus yet.
@@jswebhead A Rare Breed would have been good in there. Blanton's is not "hard" to find for me per se. I see it all the time, it is just expensive. and I am not putting down 150-200 for that even if I am trading it.
@@anthodebourbon Nice pick. +1 on Rare Breed, also really like Russell's 10 year old.
Nice list! Woodford Reserve Double Oaked started me on my journey only back in October of 2020, but I feel lucky enough to have 7 of those exact bourbons you've listed. Of the other 3, I have 2 on my shelf, but not those exact selections. Thanks for list, Jason. Cheers!
I’ve had all but the Remus. All great pours. Probably the best obtainable list I’ve ever seen! 🤙🏼
Can't argue with this collection. Especially since I have 5 in my collection already.
Great list Jason!!!
Great video Jason! Initially, I'm thinking, holy crap $400 for a starter bourbon collection. But, realizing the cost of bourbon these days, that's a lot of great bottles to start a collection. Great line up. Cheers
Friggin great list and great idea!
While I don't consider myself a rookie and I have 90% of this list...I really appreciate your thorough intro to each brand and its origin story. Nice work
Great list! Wish this video was out 2 years ago.
Great list. I've enjoyed most of those bottles. I was rather surprised you didn't include Buffalo Trace in your list. I know you enjoy that and it has great availability at a reasonable price.
Love it Jason!! Very much appreciate the awesome history lesson man!!!! For me I’d add a couple Ryes and perhaps another higher proof pour - like Rare Breed - to a beginner collection.
Great episode! I would love to see a similar episode for "American Whiskey" that includes a collection of bottles for things such as TN Whiskey, Rye, and American malt whiskey.
Great selection Jason. Cheers.
What a great video for collectors who want a quality base!
Started two months ago. Have all but Taylor, Woodford, and Eagle Rare. Having fun with it
Own all of these. Great list.
You nailed it! Fantastic list. I have most of these bottles. Looking forward to owning all of them, some day...
That's a great list. Easy to get and a nice mix of distilleries
Great info here Jason. Thanks
Perfect list! Thank you!
Honestly the perfect list. A little something from each of the big distilleries and you gave newbies something to chase with the BT products. Once they find that first bottle of ER, EHT, or Blanton’s they will be hooked on the hunt. Other honorable mentions for me would be Russel’s Reserve and Jefferson’s Ocean Age at Sea (talk about a conversation starter).
I couldn't have put together a better list! Most of these are favorites of mine.
If I were to do this myself, I would have almost certainly listed 90% of your same picks. I would recommend your video to everyone!
Very helpful video to assist in my new found hobby. Thank you for making this great and insightful content. It is exactly what I was looking for and will help me out a lot.
Have ‘em all, love ‘em all. Great lineup and video!
Great video man, love that you put Blant's with an asterisk! Love all of these especially roses and Eagle, but Blanton's was the bourbon that launched me into full-on obsession with good juice!
One of the best collections I’ve seen. The Taylor is still super premium and hard to find for me though.
agreed. Hard to find in michigan
Taylor, eagle rare, blantons, impossible in Illinois... Unless you pay about triple msrp.
Video was 7 months ago. Yes, the market shifts that quickly. Good luck out there.
I have every bottle on this list except the EHT and Remus. Good list.
This is a solid list. I prefer the 1910 and haven’t tried Remus yet though
It's amazing to me that despite your obvious love for it, Remus continues to fly a bit under the radar! Very good stuff.
This is the only one I have never bought, nor tried... Soon to be remedied...
I just picked up a Remus Repeal Reserve IV and it is absolutely amazing!
Spot on. Have every one of those in my cabinet, except the Uncle Remus. Might need to try that.
Jason, This is my first time responding and watched quite a few of the bourbon review videos, but you are the KING my friend! Your knowledge and expertise are unmatched. Keep the whiskey knowledge flowing!
Appreciate that Mike. Still trying to learn more and more. Glad your along for the ride.
Blanton's. "Yea, I said it" Hahahaha. I do love that stuff but I don't search for it anymore, so it's been a good long while since I've had any. That's a solid line up to be sure. They're all very good.
The intro is awesome 🤩. Thanks for the view!
What an awesome video. I'm normally a craft beer drinker and only really drink Maker's for bourbon, but I'm looking to branch out and this video was incredibly informative.
You pretty much nailed it... Larceny could have been included as well as Old Grand Dad 114... Also, Uncle Nearest,, a good, or great budget pour.. These three are all easily found, and very reasonably priced.
I also love OGD 114 and Larceny. Great budget bourbons.
