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!

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 ?
@russellleonard5321 Жыл бұрын
@@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.

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 🥃

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
