Bourbon Hunting the 6 or 7 bottles every bar should have.

[@KyleEaton]

Man, Whiskey Business must have received the entire West Tennessee allotment of the Holladay Soft Red Wheat Rickhouse Proof. I need to find an excuse to get up there again and grab another or two or three.

[@MajorXero]

They work hard to get the new stuff

[@BondingOverBourbon]

You passed a few bottles that are very good that you really need to try. Michter’s Unblended Whiskey is an amazing value sipper. They scrape out the inside of a bourbon barrel, rechar it and fill it again. It caramelizes the sugars in the barrel again and creates very robust flavor that is absolutely delicious and very slept on. The Old Soul Tin Series bottle that you passed in the beginning is a great high proof pour that's dangerously smooth. I also don't recommend making an old fashioned with Ancient Age. It's not going to taste like much at all, but it does make a really good shelfer.

[@MajorXero]

I usually get old fashioneds when the whiskey is going to be weak or just plain bad. It was the reason Old Fashioneds were invited. Never really thought about Ancient Age as a sipper I may have to revisit it

[@BondingOverBourbon]

@MajorXero it's absolute delicious as a sipper! It's basically just the b line of blanton's at a fraction of the cost.

[@MajorXero]

I plan to add it to the bar for sure

[@BondingOverBourbon]

@@MajorXero love to see it

[@MajorXero]

Will do!

[@PharmerVol]

Seeing that big bottle of Weller SR brings a tear to my eye

[@MajorXero]

Where are you located?

[@oggaspack7971]

Great video major. Just got back from my first trip to Kentucky. Was able to get a Stagg Jr batch 18 at a liqour barn for $60 and also scored 2 Hancock's reserve Liqour barn store picks! I'd say that's a successful first time on the trail!

[@MajorXero]

Sounds like it! I want to hear what you think about the 18

[@RandyLalonde]

Hey Major ,, Yes I did watch the live after on another day,, I did see you found my pacakge and a lot more of them,,,, your Bar is getting there and I know you will enjoy ,,, I really do enjoy my Cave .... Not Sure If I told you I call it Hazelwood Tavern ,,,, The rural area I live in during the Oil Field Boom was call Hazelwood Oil Field so thats were I picked up the name.... Thanks

[@MajorXero]

Love that name! I think you tell me that. Oklahoma right?

[@tonycrowder9114]

Definitely going to have to revisit whiskey business. I want that old Dominic store pick and spotted several other bottles.

[@MajorXero]

I highly recommend that old Dominick

[@mistermom310]

The JW Dant is not one to sleep on. Great sipper and mixer at 100 proof and very reasonable $$

[@MajorXero]

I took the JW Dant to the Derby!

[@RandyLalonde]

Hey Major Besides my Buffalo Trace Tater Products I hunt ,, I always try to do store picks when availiable and I also have those shelfers Evan BIB, Heaven Hill BIB, Wild Turkey 101, Early Times BIB and another thing I recently picked is a Bardstown Disco #11 which I am really liking ..... Thanks

[@MajorXero]

Did you see my live? I found your samples and plan to get into them in the coming weeks

[@austinpeterjohn569]

I don't think it's Bardstown that may be going out of business. I believe it's Barrell that has those rumors circulating. Both starting with "B's" I bet you just got them mixed up. Cheers!

[@MajorXero]

Yep you are right, this is what happens when I hunt before I eat

[@jclong1979]

Major I met you at Chic fil a 2 months ago. I enjoy your videos. I picked up the Chattanooga Founders this morning and the Old Dominic Single Barrel. I watched this video hot off the press last night.

[@MajorXero]

Hey! What do you think of that founders?

[@jclong1979]

@@MajorXero sorry just saw this. I haven’t tried it yet. It’s on the short list to taste. I will let you know.

Please do

[@OldFashionedWays]

hey bud. nice hunt. thanks for shout out. So I will have my first hunt going thru international airport. pre warning. it is terrible. i was trying to my gate. lol. I like your choices for 6 to 7 bottles to have on a shelf. I think everyone needs a good solid higher proof like Stagg if you can get for a good price.. that tequila is just a pretty bottle, juice not great. thanks again,. cheers

[@MajorXero]

I will be hunting in the airport in a couple of days my self!

[@OldFashionedWays]

It is in a lot of stores now, May grab it soon

Just five OGD 114 is all you need 🥃

[@MajorXero]

And maybe a Stagg or two

Depending where you are in NC you can always get Weller in Ohio

[@CowboyWhiskeyAdventures]

YOU passed right by Woodenville Burbon, Which is one of my favorites, especially there finished in applewood staves.

[@BondingOverBourbon]

The Applewood really surprised us. Normally we don't go for stave finished anything, but this one is 👌

I got a cherry note from the one pour of the Woodenville that I have had

@CowboyWhiskeyAdventures is ir rje high taxes getting there?

[@kylejohnson2205]

@@CowboyWhiskeyAdventures Where in Washington are you my friend? I can usually find Eagle Rare at QFC or Safeway. Just got the half gallon from QFC today actually. I have heard that Walmart is low key a killer place for selection/prices on bourbon although I can't confirm personally.

[@bloodCount8895]

S100 for ECTB. My place has it for 49.99 in NW IL. But $40 for Weller special reserve!! It's 80+ where I live. So, I never buy it.

[@MajorXero]

Too high ?

[@bloodCount8895]

Msrp for Weller SR is $24 for normal size. So, I'm not paying 4x msrp.

indeed

[@JCTexanRyeGuy]

I love my Still Austin “Artist” rye. For $50 it is fair priced and offers flavor with no mint. Heard Jack Daniel’s single barrel and barrel proof is bourbon friendly as well. And even michters rye even though it is too low proof for me.

[@MajorXero]

We have very little Still Austin here in West Tennessee. Glad there is no mint!

[@JCTexanRyeGuy]

If you enjoy rye bread then you’ll like the artist. Rye is my favorite bread so it was no surprise. Imagine chewing the rye grain and flavor comes through. That but the form of a smell is how the artist tastes to me

[@BondingOverBourbon]

​@BondingOverWhiskey Hey there, we have kindred usernames 👍 Anyways, the SA rye is delicious, but their barrel proof rye is absolutely insane. Drinks way smoothly than the age would imply.

[@JCTexanRyeGuy]

@@BondingOverBourbon that’s another thing to note! SA is young.

[@BondingOverBourbon]

@BondingOverWhiskey be that as it may, Texas whiskey "ages" quickly so it doesn't taste as young or grainy as it should.

We get your hate for Willet Pot Still and all things Basil Hayden, please move on.

I hate Willet, Basil Hayden. I don't thinknis worth the extra price for the bottle. To be fair, I do some of this for pacing to make sure I slow down and so people can see prices. I get just as many people saying they like it as I do hate it. So, really, it is generally less than 10 seconds of a 10 to 14 min video. Thanks for the feedback, and I will try and do better.
