My Six of the Best bourbons to always have at the house is a conventional list: 1) Rare Breed, 2) 1920, 3) Jack SB, BP, 4) Maker's 46 Cask Strength, 5) Knob Creek SB, and I'll say Woodford Double Oaked (though truth be told, I more often reach for the 1910. I like to keep both around the house).

Love the video. I was sipping Bookers last night, (lumberyard batch) my god was it delicious: honey, tea, leather, etc., I also opened a knob creek 9 yr. single barrel reserve that was at 120 proof and was presently surprised at the similarities between these two. Almost identical I thought. The smoothness on the bookers at 125 proof, it’s “mind bottling” -Ron Burgundy Anyway house bourbons in my neck of the woods are as follows: 1. Evan Williams 1783 (86 proofer and the extra aged 90) 2. Old forester 1910 not 20. 3. Wild turkey 101 4. Bardstown bourbon Discvery series #7 5. Johnny Drum 101- love that this one rarely gets any lovin…let’s keep it that way 6. Used to be McKenna 10 year, but I have some more new releases/iterations of it and I’m not impressed to say the least e.g., barrel no. 9481 barrels on 1-8-10, I’ll stills drink it though. 7. Store pick Russell Reserve single barrels…my god 8. Willet family estate eye 4 year- really common lately here in Texas, which is uncharacteristic. Prior to 2023, never would see them, now they’re everywhere. 9. And my favorite, especially when you consider price, quantity, and availability, Early Times BIB…this is the real banger. I’ve currently got a bottle of 2022 Birthday Bourbon, and a pappy 20 year and I’m consistently reaching for the Early times. This bottle really helped me work to eradicate my Bourbon FOMO. I’m know longer spending unmentionable amounts of money on unicorn Bourbons.

Maker's Mark has for a long time been the primary "house bourbon" here. It's all my wife drinks. I also have many, many different Maker's Private Selection examples, as well as I always keep on hand Maker's Mark 101. I have been in exploring mode for a few years on others. Strong repeaters are Wilderness Trail's wheated bourbon, and Horse Soldier. I recently tried Evan Williams Bottled-in-Bond, and was pleasantly surprised how good it is for the price point. Like they say on the Trail, so many bourbons, so little time. Cheers!

I had all but given up on Booker's as a House Bourbon given how hard it had been to find but I recently discovered most internet vendors can sell to residents of Washington State and I have been able to find a few bottles that way at not unreasonable prices.

I have a similar approach for the types I always want on hand. - Wild Turkey or Russell's - Old Forester 1920 or Jack Daniel's barrel proof for the sweet tooth - MGP sourced bourbons and ryes. Normally they're store picks of smaller NDPs so I can try new brands. I prefer sticking to the $50-70 range for these and only buy brands that are transparent with their labeling. - Any Maker's wood finished - Knob Creek rye or bourbon pick - Sadly, ECBP would always adorn my shelf but now it's too hard to find

Living in Vermont, close to the New Hampshire border which helps, we have a limited selection of bourbon but we always have Wild Turkey 101 which is used in Manhattans. Our sippers are Blantons and Old Forester 1920. We're lucky to be able to get Russell's Reserve 10 year in NH, and we are able to pick up Four Roses Small Batch.

I agree with you on the Elijah Craig. It ain't the same now as the old 12 year. I did a blind tasting between the old 12 and the subsequent NAS, and the NAS was noticeably different and not in a good way. I miss the 12 year. Beam brought back the age statement on Knob Creek bourbon and now the KC rye, i think its time HH brings back the EC 12 year.

So i am really the only person in my family or group of friends that actually enjoys whiskey enough to drink it strait. So i have some buffalo trace for mixing. Then i have ECBP and Larceny barrel proof when i want something to sip. I also enjoy Balvenie 12 and Oban 14. I also try to keep Bookers, knob creek 12, and i am lucky enough to have a few botltes of EH Taylor!

Nowadays what I do, get a empty bottle buy eagle rare 10 yr, knob creek 9 yr 100 proof, wild turkey 101, Jack Daniel bottled in bond or Evan William bottle in bond. Mix them equal part in empty bottle and let ‘em rest for a week. There you go boom. Complex, not overly oaked, complex well flavoured 48% ish bourbon enjoyable n affordable for you. By end of 2 weeks I buy them again n mix 😅 cheers

I do not get grain forward notes fron Woodinville. For me it's very strawberry forward and its one of the only whiskies I've got that from.

I always have a couple Wild Turkey products out (currently a pick of Russell's and Kentucky Spirit), an Eagle Rare and Buffalo Trace pick, Sagamore Double Oaked and Heaven Hill 7 year BiB. All solid pours and things that I'm not afraid to share with anyone (from novice to whiskey nerd).
