12 Bourbons You Need To Have on Your Bar Cart

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!

[@zionwitten6368]

I love how they both definitely have a buzz going

[@wixom01]

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.

[@BloodySawBlade]

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.

[@BloodySawBlade]

@@elijahfluw4347 Now that's the million dollar question, isn't it?

[@BigBadJerryRogers]

@@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.

[@x_Liquid_x]

@@BigBadJerryRogers haha i can totally relate, similar situation! Thanks 4 the blast from the past!! :)

[@SingleMaltBuckeye]

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.

[@petemitchell6788]

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. 🥃

[@Edyth_Hedd]

WT 101 is crazy good for the money. (Also check out Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. It's $17-ish in MA.)

[@angeldaisymarrero3073]

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.

[@wixom01]

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)

[@jambersonllc6603]

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.

[@Edyth_Hedd]

I love these two. This is one of my favorite bourbon channels.

[@ItsBourbonNight]

Thanks so much!!

[@Middle850]

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

[@adamcompton4031]

Eagle Rare is my favorite but it's ridiculously difficult to find in Virginia

[@BonzaiBomber]

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.

[@ltmoods4182]

Bulliet rye is great.

[@PumpkinDefender]

[@JohnRuggero]

Knob Creek single barrel has become my favorite bourbon under $100. Great stuff!

[@jwalkblue7]

Same. Best bang for the buck in the bourbon world imo. 9 years, single Barrell, basically barrel proof, and big bold flavors? Yes, please.

[@robertjay1179]

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.🥃

[@durhamy]

I have about a dozen Bourbons on hand but Evan Williams is the one I'm replacing the most often. For the price and quality it's hard to beat IMHO.

[@TheBourbonDiaries]

It really is. Not the greatest, of course. But it has a depth that many others in that price range don't have. It's a great go-to Bourbon.

[@jaymil53]

Try the Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof! Good stuff, better than the black label

[@TheBourbonDiaries]

@@jaymil53 Agreed. :)

[@georgevantuyl5837]

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.

[@NotMyOwn-xd5iu]

[@budj13]

[@robertporter6641]

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 :-)

[@danajackson36]

Thank y’all just learning about bourbons and y’all are so fun to watch

[@jesusfreakinct]

Allocation is interesting; here in New England I see way more Eagle Rare than Buffalo Trace.

[@ncyankee101]

In summer of 2019 Sams Club in Myrtle Beach had a ton of ER at $26.

[@abaca1990]

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.

[@b3nfriend]

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.

[@baddadjokes9330]

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.

[@craigscates1766]

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!

[@paulprebble8874]

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.

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

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.

I live in central VA and it's impossible nowadays to find Buffalo Trace. ABC locally has a one bottle limit.

Old Forester Rye is my FAVORITE for an Old Fashioned. Just mixes so great and for $22 for a 1 ltr bottle out here, you can't beat that price. Pretty much most of the stuff you put on that cart I have tried as well, but there are a few that I have been holding off on. Also, if you do like ice in the hot summer months, the Evan Williams Bottled in Bond is really good over ice. I kinda stumbled on the channel myself and I will be back to check out more for sure! Even added a sub to make it easier to check out more Oh another fun one to include has been anything from the Redemption line. Little higher proof on most, but they make really good bourbon and rye. Recently they released a high wheat bourbon as well. That one is a bit higher in price, but most stick around $30 for 46% abv (96 proof).

[@ncyankee101]

I agree with probably the first half dozen or so. WT 101 though is $40+ in Oregon and we just didn't like it. Henry McKenna's entry level is the only bottle available here. But it's probably your best spent $12-$13 for bourbon! I prefer wheat beers over others. So I really need to try that Larceny.

Got to admit. I agreed with all of these. Solid round up of bourbons. I would probably include at least 1 like upper eschelon... maybe a Bookers, Basil's, etc.

A local grocery store here in my area is celebrating bourbon week. They gave a great review on about 7 bourbon's. Though I do like my Early Times, I thought I'd try something new, something twice the price, I settled on Woodford Reserve. I'm sipping it straight. I want to get to know it by itself without any type of mixer to cover it up with. I must say I do like it. It's pretty smooth though it does get a little hot on the tongue as I roll it around on my tongue, sucking in a little fresh air, exiting from my nose. This bottle costs $29 which is twice the cost of Early Times. I may try a few others in the near future in effort to break away from my comfort zone. I'd like to hear from you guys as to what you like and is affordable, every occasion bourbon.

Fantastic list. I endorse every selection and have most of these myself!

I purchased a bottle of Buffalo Trace a couple of years ago and it's easy to drink and excellent for newbies.

[@mastersteve78]

Love your cart suggestions, I will have a neat pour of each please.

[@davidlaw9465]

Can’t believe you mentioned Iron Root out of Denison, TX. Great family and AMAZING higher proof batches. Try Prometheus next.

If you carrying 12 bourbons in your bar cart, it’s no longer a bar cart, it’s become an actual bar.

[@jayman1338]

😂😂 So true!

What is a bar cart if not a bar that’s on wheels! Haha

[@SPQR_14]

When I saw the title, I came up with a list of my own to try and predict yours. Scored correctly on Larceny, Buffalo Trace, Wild 101/Rare Breed, Evan Williams BIB, Elijah Craig, Knob Creek (unspecified), Woodford Reserve, Henry McKenna BIB, and Four Roses (unspecified). I didn't get the Old-Grandad, the Old Forester 1920, or the Pikesville... all bourbons I haven't yet tried, so that's something to look forward to. Cheers!

Good job!

[@howimakeit5765]

So cool! I have all but one of these on my shelf. Guess I’ll need to buy a bar cart now. Great video.

[@rogerd.miller1095]

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.
