not a store owner or employee but i have noticed, probably due to inflation, a lot more casual whiskey people have discovered bottle in bond as a value option, getting more bang for your money. Evan Williams BiB and Jim Beam BiB being the biggest hitters and usually running light on store shelves.
In Central IL Woodford Double Oakes sits on the shelves at every grocery & liquor store. Can find WSR at SPR about once a quarter or so here. Stopped at a liquor store in Oklahoma City and they had a ton of WSR in the shelf. 1.75s, 1 liters and 750s all at SRP!
From the UK and I’d say our number 1 found everywhere tends to be Jim Beam (White Label). You can easily find Buffalo Trace which is my current favourite. Then I’d say Woodford Reserve is also readily found. Great video and channel 👍
One more note about Drizly: In my area (Chattanooga) they stores all have a $75 minimum, so....if I'm buying a $60-65 bottle of something I like, I'm probably getting another to fill out the quota, and that will drive lots of sales that otherwise would not happen if people just stepped into the store in search of one thing only.
When you consider the fact that it is by dollar amount it makes a lot of sense, you can buy probably five or six bottles of Evan Williams Black Label for the price of one Blanton's when we are talking about how much you would buy it on drizly. But I'm talking on average, in my area Blanton's is over 200 on drizly ...
Very interesting to hear that list, appreciate you Fred, Army strong
A lot of stores here have double oak picks and it often gets recommended as a premium choice for those starting out wanting to move up a bit from basic bourbon.
I work at binnys as a liqour consultant (Chicagoland area). I do not have the exact number since it will take me a while to pull. But out of the ones I see people buy a lot, stock a lot, and order a lot. Here is my list for the top 5. (No particular order).
1. Jim bean (obvious)
2. Maker’s (makers marks is the most popular, but the other ones are as well).
3. Wild turkey (101, and Russell’s are super popular).
4. Woodford reserve (who can go wrong with any of these).
5. Old forester (86, 100, and 1920 are popular, all around a good product).
We got cases of WRDO and it sells pretty well for something that costs $60.
We sell a lot of Basil Hayden, more than we should. Also JBWL and EWBL 1.75 are our top sellers of bourbon. WR, Angel's Envy, MM, EC and 4RSmB all do very well when on sale. I don't even count the Buffalos or the Eagles or the Staggs because we sell them without market adjustments. The volume of those don't keep up with the other mentioned.
@@XXXGRAPENUTSXXX Ezekiel 23:20 is something you might enjoy.
@@Hotlog69 Great verse indeed.. thanks for sharing!!
@@XXXGRAPENUTSXXX You're welcome. Walk with him, my son.
Thank you Fred for another GREAT review. When our Cowboys throw another one away (like they did last Saturday), WE HAVE BOURBON!
Then we need a Barrel up here!!
Woodford Double Oaked is always on the shelf here in the Sioux City IA area.
Same in Dayton, Ohio.
In central FL. There's Forester Everywhere & 4R also. But can't find a Weller to save your ass and secondary is insane.
It’s not really a bourbon brand but definitely best selling bourbons at Bayway Liq in NJ are barrel picks ranging in price from $40 to $80 with some such as Elijah Craig BP, Weller FP and Blantons selling out in hrs (all within previously mentioned price range)
you can find Weller Special Reserve at quite a few places here in the OKC area
I can't go into a store in SE Wisconsin without seeing Woodford Reserve Double Oak on the shelf. I think the bottle kills it here, I am honestly not sure if it is a 750 or not, but it looks so small that I feel like I would be getting ripped off paying 63(average for this area) for it.
Some of these are obviously being driven by volume at moderate price (Knob Creek SB, WT 101) while others obviously by jacked up prices (Blantons, EH Taylor). It would be a lot more useful if they based it on volume.
I’m sipping on some Weller SR as I watch this. Thankfully I found it at BevMo’s for $25.
Unless you are drunk and can't drive to the liquor store, why would you order from Drizzly (or any other intermediary). You'll just end up paying more.
Keep several bottles on hand. Problem solved.
I would be interested in a top 20 video for the annual roll up for both volume and revenue at the close of qtr 4.
Interesting. Thanks
You should do a college football top 25-bourbon equivalent list. Like which whiskey you find comparable to each team. Probably makes no sense but Could be fun 🤷♂️
Random question: what’s a good, easy to find bourbon that’s only available in Kentucky? My colleague offered to bring me back a bottle I just need to tell her what to get.
What would you recommend in the $80.00-85.00 range ? I usually drink Knob Creek
Just got a 134.5 Jack Daniels Single Barrel Barrel Proof for $70 in the middle of Iowa that I’m enjoying.
Barrel Bourbon
Is that a bottle from Ethanology in MI behind your right shoulder? Is it the honey distillate? My favorite craft distillery
GO ARMY! We’re stationed in Germany…absolutely stunned to see Double Oaked on this list. Surprised Rare Breed didn’t crack the Top 20!
Go Army!!!!
Great review. Go Navy, beat army!
In terms of what is not selling, at least not as fast near me, Henry McKenna. Spotted for reasonable prices are fifty bucks (reasonable near me and based on updated SRP). Seen it at multiple stores each with several bottles on the shelf. Even some Eagle Rare wasn't gone as soon as the store opened on delivery day. Maybe people are finally stocked up enough and don't need to buy every bottle they see? Haha.
McKenna's in stock in your neck of the woods?
@@FredMinnick it's surviving on the shelf more than a few hours or a couple days at least. Two stores each had at least 3 bottles when I was out last weekend. I wouldn't say it's plentiful but it's a bit easier to come across lately.
Surprised no Old Forester. Especially 1910 or 1920.
Too available.
I've seen Blantons on Drizly for as low as $65 multiple times. Same store. I think I've seen it for over 65 but under 100 a couple of other times as well.
what market are you in?
@@FredMinnick Rhode Island. Dont get me wrong, I've seen it marked way up on Drizly as well but theres quite a few honest places around me.
It's on their front page but when you click on it it's MUCH more or unavailable.
@@glenhalstead2301 I think the front page is general results. If you put your address in you'll get better results with stores close by.
Lots of Woodford Reserve Double Oak by me, Chicago burbs, no problem finding it at all
Prices for allocated bourbons are generally crazy on that site. Can’t really see an excuse to ever use their site.
Local store doesn’t up-charge. I might not get every super-awesome bottle coming into the store, but there’s no overpaying for whatever’s available.
JT Meleck single barrel cask strength coming out next week👀
Thanks for the update Fred! Feel free to let us know how you feel about these rankings. Also Blanton's is such a let down. A $35 bottle of Bower Hill is better.
@PuffinX Trust me, Blantons is hardly worth $65 let alone the $150 secondary. Otherwise I have a bottle to sell you.
You can’t give away weller SR here. We have 750,1L, and 1.75s in almost every store in Oklahoma. I think Texas is the same way, and I believe Oklahoma and Texas are some of the larger users of Drizly
crazy
Austin used to be that way, but not anymore, they keep it hidden. Last time I was in Norman, OK, yep it was in all the stores, and I brought back a case of it.
You can usually snag the 1.75 around Tulsa for somewhere near $45 750s as cheap as $22 everywhere
This app seems to only show the ripoff stores in my area. 10-20 percent over MSRP liquor stores.
most of this list sounds like the Costco Whiskey aisle 🤣
The whole store pick thing is getting oversaturated plus a lot of stores overcharge.
All the praise you heaped on Knob Creek is apparently having an affect Fred. I don't remember it being close to top 10 in the prior drizzly lists.
Woodford Double Oak being pushed at Costco help. $45
Go NAVY🐐
I don’t pay the high ass prices Drizzjizz charges.
@12:20
Weller Special Reserve is 49.99 in Ohio. Just walked past a bottle.
That’s for a 1.75L bottle. 750ml is $22.99 in Ohio
@@jakeb1135
Good catch. Never pulled the trigger on the 750s I see.
So then this means that the Drizly crowd is either younger with $$ & a google bourbon degree, following that hype train, or the "nah I don't feel like driving to the store today for my 1.75 of Beam/M.M. or E.W."......right? Oh and W.R. Double Oak is delicious this fall.
Pretty solid assessment
Next time you're in OK you'll find wsr everywhere
Go Navy, beat Army as usual.
hahaha
No Jack Daniels?
I'm guessing that's about the "Tennessee Whisky NOT Bourbon" thing. Driz and the stores have to honor it.
@@dlfendel2844 ah that makes sense.
Total wine be like spirits direct stuff is the only quality product in America. All jokes aside they suck, they lie to customers to push their shit
Arby's Smoked?
wow
@@FredMinnick Yea... only shipping via web orders to 7 states. Screw the rest of the country apparently.
I was surprised it was 90 proof instead of 80. $60.
Drizly sucks! They don't even sell liquor in Ohio!
Who is this guy impersonating Fred WITHOUT an ascot??? I would expect alot of these bottles are hard enough to find (BT/ER/EHT/Blantons) that the only way to get them for some folks is to order it online, at which point toss a regular bottle in to the order because the shipping is the same for 1 or 2 bottles.
WT 101 is probably the best Bourbon out there for the money
That and OF 100 Signature, two of my most daily drinkers.
