The Best Available Whiskey's Under $50! Best Boujie Daily Drinkers!

So this started out as our favorite daily drinkers. Then one of us broke the rules and this turned into the best daily drinkers under $50. All of these whiskeys are available and easy to drink. They are all great for beginners and whiskey lovers alike! We have a list of the best 9 whiskeys available (at least to us). None of these are considered rare whiskey (maybe eagle rare because you all know Sean).

Just picked up a bottle of jack daniels single barrel select bottled 7-9-2018.it came with a jack daniels glencairn glass 40$!

[@MattRichetelli]

Rare Breed punches above it's weight class. I love that bourbon! My local bottle shop bought pallets of it and sold them for 24.99. I've always regretted not buying a case or two

[@BigSteve34]

Wow that's crazy that's 2 dollars more than 101

[@polaroidsofpolarbears365]

Dude...you messed up, big time lol. I think it goes for $43.99 in my local store.

[@jimbograves1576]

25 bucks for rare breed?!?! It's like $45 at my LLS.

[@derekharmon2242]

Michael J Fox could put out a cleaner pour of whiskey than Dan.

[@BourbonJunkies]

Sean may comment on this but I literally had to say I laughed out loud reading this comment. -Dan

I work at Buffalo Trace Distillery in the Craft dept, bottling Eagle Rare, Blanton's, Rockhill Farm, ET Lee, EH Taylor...alot of work goes into one bottle!

[@briancasey2347]

Girlfriend just got me a bottle which made me think of this.... Maker's 46 is pretty solid daily drinker at 39.99.

[@themerryrabbit5040]

Brian Casey just got the 46 at my LLS for 28.99! Very solid.

[@SheepDog12b]

Absolutely, 46 is fantastic for the price

[@williammorrow1187]

I concur, Maker’s 46 is an excellent pour especially for the price

[@jimbograves1576]

Oh yeah, 46 is fantastic, but it's mid $40's in my neck of the woods.

[@grungeface]

Get cask strength. Even better.

[@jeradlocktish550]

I have started to become an old grandad 114 guy myself.

[@johncannon3593]

I've got to add Old Grandad BiB to the inexpensive daily list. Way better than its $20 price tag suggests. I just side-by-side tasted it with Turkey 101, and OGD won.

[@mttech1995]

Sean’s list-totally attainable!! Dan’s list- I’ve only physically see 1 on the list. So how are those daily drinkers?? Rare Breed- the best under $45 bottle out there!!

[@bananapatch9118]

Knob Creek barrel proof and Rare breed are my two favorite around $40-$45.

[@igloo2862]

I would go with 5. Rare Breed, 4. Buffalo Trace, 3. Michter's Rye, 2. Eagle Rare 10, and number 1 has to be Elijah Craig Small Batch.

[@katedevane1193]

agree with every one of those

[@teknoah03]

Who else got into bourbon when the pandemic started? I did and gained about 20lbs. lol. Lost it now but I went a little too crazy buying 1-2 bottles a week. 😂

[@brandonhoffman4712]

I was converted by a bottle of Blanton's in my uncles cupboard about 6 months before covid hit. I too gained a bit of weight and have now joined the walkers of my neighborhood, just so i can keep experiencing the awesomeness that is bourbon. I went into scotch early on not knowing blantons was a bourbon, traversed scotland a little bit with the whisky, then was converted back to bourbon by a bottle of clyde mays 92pf. After that scotch kinda lost its punch, and now i hunt down the bourbons. Top picks for me (in no order). Knob creek 9, clyde mays 92pf, lost monarch, Bardstown fusion #3, and angels envy. Angels envy barely makes the list but the uniqueness of the wine finish keeps it interesting. Eagle rare would have beat it out for sure if i liked cherry notes in my bourbon (but i don't), however if you do everything else in the bottle is great! Also try a bourbon sour, its the bourbon margarita!

[@PJBHolden]

Exactly!! Same with me lol

[@deezysan]

Bourbon makes you gain weight?!?!? 😳

[@biscuitninja]

-Old Forester -1792 -Woodford Reserve Wheat -Wild Turkey Rare Breed -1792 BIB -Old Forester Rye -Eagle Rare -Early Time BIB -Redwood Empire Lost Monarch

just grabbed the last bottle of lost monarch from my binny's for the same price. Lovin it

[@jamesbullard4897]

69 years old still daily drinking good health (because of whiskey) never miss a days work Four roses single barrel is my favorite but staple on Elijah Craig small batch lovely bourbon whiskey ps I’m not fat and my liver works great moderation in all things I do have a weakness for ice cream as well but homemade is the ticket

[@whitebuffaloblacksheep]

I've avoided picking up redwood empire because the bottle looks so hipsterish, but I'll have to give it a shot now. I think it's under 40 in nebraska.

[@vincentram942]

Huge fan of Eagle RARE emphasis on RARE can rarely get it out here in ND so when I seen a 1.75 had to buy 2!

[@justinmacchiaverna4028]

Managed to get the last bottle of Rare Breed at my local liquor store. Haven’t opened it yet, but keeping it as an emergency stock during these crazy times. Stay healthy bros

[@onggia850]

Is it a 2020 batch?

[@pat0rama719]

I got 3 bottles from my local stores and im probably gonna give one to my dad but I wanted to let my brothers bday past so my dad didn't re gift it and wind up giving it to my brother. My dad loves Buffalo trace but hasn't had eagle rare

[@hugh-johnfleming289]

I make an Old Fashion from time to time that get raves. I use Kessler's. Cheap stuff. AND two drops/per of Pernod, orange twist garnish just like my Great Aunt Flori made them. Even first timers love them. Great balance.

[@Barndore.]

I would like to see a Most flippable bottle over $100 video. Extra points for landing it on a cinder block.

[@andrewcofield]

I have every one of these in my cabinet now except Redwood Empire. I've never seen it in the Carolinas. Excellent list. Forester Rye is ridiculously good, but dont tell anyone or it's going to go the way of McKenna BIB.

Sean, always correcting Dan's thoughts. Love it. Please stay well boys!

[@rickkeehn7676]

All the Redwood Empires cost around 30-33 bucks in Northern California. They just announced a fall release of Bottled In Bond releases, i can’t wait!

[@Pistolmike59]

I’m new to all of this but eager to learn and experience what I can on a retiree’s budget. It would be extremely helpful to list the full names in the description or comment. Many of these distillers have multiple offerings and I’d really like to pick up the correct one (if I can find it locally). Can’t locate the Early Times Bottled in Bond or the Redwood Empire Lost Monarch here in NE Florida....

[@shawnhudson9482]

Killed it w/ the Redwood Empire & ET BIB! All Around pretty great!

[@patrickfulmer9596]

Redwood Empire? Availability rule, out the window. Sean wins!

[@TheOnion12]

Lost monarch is great. Thanks for the recommendation

[@christinecamley]

Just started watching your channel and this early video is great! Yes you have both come a long way!! 🙂

[@RhinoViper]

1792 Full Proof, WT Rare Breed, OGD 114, Knob Creek Single Barrel are some of my main choices under $50. Of course if I can find it, Stagg Jr, Henry McKenna 10yr and Eagle Rare are in this list.

[@chrisbuzulencia1774]

Love the bottle flipping....only thing missing was a bottle chug. Glad to see you guy together. 🥃 Bougie

[@brandonhoffman4712]

My pick is Colonel E.H. Taylor Small Batch... Hear me out! 1st you have to find it for 59.99 (which i did hee hee), then market some pours to your buddies for 5 bucks! All you need is 2 takers and you hit 50. P.S. i have a bottle available for scalping! Edit: that lost monarch is pretty good, i liken it to a white rum in some ways (although firmly down whiskey road). I created a mixed drink using it that i love. One of my old favorite mixed drinks is the cuban mojito. I created the Brandito and here is my recipe! The Brandito! 2oz bourbon, 1oz lime juice, 1/2 simple syrup (i made a pineapple syrup), 5 mint leaves, 3.5oz fever tree ginger beer, club soda, and 2 dashes of grapefruit bitters. add juice, syrup, and mint. Muddle. Add bourbon (i used lost monarch), add ice, shake and strain over ice in a glass (12oz). add the ginger beer and top with club soda. garnish TBD... Smooth easy sipper, essence of mojito, sweet ginger bite (in a good way), lime soda/ginger ale. The lost monarch plays perfect in this drink. its lighter like a white rum which adds to the mojito essence coming through. It has some spice that finds itself mingling perfectly with the ginger bite, adding to the nuance of difference that is this drink. My new summer drink has arrived!

[@bananapatch9118]

$40 Knob Creek barrel proof is my favorite.

[@fusties]

really hard to get some of these in New Zealand, but I am looking for them! Appreciate the advice

[@automatong8081]

Great video and great list. Man I wish I find early times here in NJ.

[@briancasey2347]

Early Times for the win on any Daily Drinker list... It's so money.

[@danielbeavers8701]

Even Williams bottle in bond 100 proof is really good $16

[@jamesjutte6119]

that 1792 bib is good stuff got a store pic and i was amazed

[@wigmaster7894]

this is the one we needed right now. only one I can't get on board with is the woodford wheat. redwood is aged in cali but sourced from cali, indy, Tennessee, KY. I still really like 1792 SiB and see the SB in some spots for $28. I agree dailies should be under $40.

[@mjmccrady]

Ohio... I can only find The ScreminChicken and Woodford. But I’m limited to State Stores.

Just bought redbreast 12..I love ot

[@captaincanes]

Love Eagle Rare, but you can't find it here in the Florida panhandle, but if you do they want $100+ for it. If you luck and know someone that works on one of our local military bases, they can get it for $25-30 if they have it.

[@christopherperisho4819]

Dunno who is hating on Eagle Rare 10 year. I’ve been on a quest for a couple years to find a better, more drinkable, bourbon that I enjoy more, and nothing comes close. Even in blinds I pick it out every time! Bonus is that ER is a bourbon everyone I introduce it to loves, and how I got the Mrs. into drinking bourbon with me!

[@rrayjay5171]

1792 Small Batch $29.99 in Simpsonville South Carolina all day long.

To defend Dan, Lost Monarch is in Georgia for $29.99 at a local liquor store. Not even a big box store so in my eyes he followed the rules lol

[@TheZeal04]

Not sure if it's just up here, but I've never seen a bottle of Woodford Wheated in MN or WI. The stores I ask say they got 0 or 1 bottle of it last fall.

Redemption High Rye, 92 proof, $26.99($19.99) on sale or any of the Redemption line. Bernheim Original Wheat, 90 proof, $29.99. I can't argue with the Rare Breed or Old Forester picks. Eagle Rare is a great $30.00 bottle, but it got very popular very fast here, so it's $50.00 or more and the stores would "keep it in the back" to make it seem special. It ain't special and it ain't a $50.00 bottle. I live in Maryland.
