Russel's 10. Price is just too good.

This is the one I always keep on hand as well. The single barrel is great, but I can never find them, and the 10 is always available and tasty.

Mix rr10 with rare breed=magic sauce.

Old Forester 1920

Price has been going up, but damn is it tasty!

1910 for me. 👍

This is the one for me

Really well-rounded pour

Michters

Four Roses Single Barrel 👍

I’m doing the four roses single barrel tasting experience this Friday at the distillery. Im very excited!

Four roses small batch select as well

I've moved to this from wild turkey, I like it

Yes, sir! And Yellow Label for the daily driver.

This, except I refuse to let myself run out.

Hard agree. Readily available, under $50, and great taste all add up to one of my favorites.

FINALLY found a bottle last week. Argggggg. So good.

Fun/unique answer: Old Granddad 114 (still can't believe what a deal it is).

That is my favorite as well - I always have it on hand. Inexpensive and easy to get where I live.

You are my Bourbon twin. Economical AND quality.

Don't sleep on the OGD BiB either...

OGD 114 is such an underrated bottle

Wild Turkey 101

It’s basically the only bourbon I buy now. During the holidays I may treat myself to some Four Roses Single Barrel but Wild Turkey 101 is just so damn good.

Okay, I think I need to try this again. I tried it once, maybe 20 years ago as a brand new drinker in college, and didn't love it. I also mixed it with Dr. Pepper, so my tastes weren't exactly "refined." But I've seen enough people talk about how WT 101 is great, that I'm gonna give it a shot.

Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. Affordable, tastes good, easy to find 🤷‍♀️

My man. This right here. ~$22 for 1.5L at Total Wine. Ridiculous value for the taste.

Shit, regular old even Williams is good enough for my white trash soul.

A friend of Evan's is a friend of mine!

The big bottle is what stays on top of my bar as a mixer for pool and to-go drinks.

I'll sometimes go this path for a nice cheap half gal

Just refilled my decanter with EW BiB. I don't think I can get a better bottle for $19.

Elijah Craig barrel proof

OF 100°. It's the best daily sipper for somebody who doesn't like to spend too much. The OF flavor profile is my jam. I'm even happy with the 86°. 1910 is objectively deeper, richer, and just plain better, but it's over twice the price.

Same here. Coopers Craft 100 is my cheap fill in for 1910.

Came to say this. I am willing to spend but OF 100 is an exceptional whiskey. If some new craft distillery released it today with slick branding they could ask $100 and it would sell. I’m willing to fight anyone who disagrees.

Just picked up another bottle of this. It’s great in general but even better when you take the price into account

OF100 is the absolute king of the mid-shelf. I’m a huge 1920 fan, but the 100 is so flexible; inexpensive enough to always have on hand, great neat or in a cocktail.

Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Best bang for your buck in bourbon. Close second: WT 101

I love it but unfortunately around me it's not one I can run out and replace.

Out of curiosity how much do you pay for your ECBP? Around me it ranges from MSRP (in small quantities and generally gone the first weekend) to $100 where it sits on the shelf.

Wild Turkey 101. Use it for all whiskey cocktails. Traverse City Barrel Proof is another, but that’s more just home sickness as I no longer live in MI.

I have 3 that are always on my shelf:

Russell’s single barrel bourbon

Rare breed

My wife knows that if I have less than a half a bottle to automatically pick one up as a "gift". Earns her points and makes me happy.

100%. I’m okay with running out of anything else that I can realistically own, but I will NEVER run out of Rare Breed.

Same here, Rare Breed is such a ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb!

Russels Reserve single barrel

I wish I could say this. It's impossible to find in Chicagoland area apparently.

Mine is Old Scout

Yellow spot. I kept it in a flask I carried on my wedding day. The sentimental value means that it will never run dry.

Knob Creek 9

Second this

The single barrel is 😋

Agreed. This and Redemption Rye are my go tos

Trick question… ride or die gets replace before it runs out, so you never actually run out. I have a couple - WT101, Rare Breed, KC SiB, Ardbeg 10

You got me… hahaha

OF 1920

OF 1920

Buffalo Trace

It’s kind of a catch 22 for me. Great bourbon and literally a benchmark, but at least in ID, it’s pretty much always available in one of the closest 3 liquor stores so I wouldn’t care too much if I run out. I’d replace at first opportunity but wouldn’t not finish a bottle if I didn’t have a backup.

Scrolled far to find this, always got some buff trace in the house

WT101 and Early Times BiB

Rare breed.

Lately for me it's Four Roses Small Batch Select - it hits all the Four Rosies notes I love - it keeps getting gone and I keep getting more 💕

Knob Creek 12.

I love this stuff.

Makers Mark 46

Yep Makers Mark 46!

This is what I am sipping on right now. This will always be in my house, I absolutely love Makers Mark.

How do you like it compared to MM Cask Strength? Cask Strength is one of my favorites and probably going to pick up 46 next

Their 46 cask strength is awesome if you’ve yet to try !

Sazerac

Woodford Reserve

For me it’s a toss up between Woodford (standard or double oak) and Wild Turkey 101. Used to be Eagle Rare but I can’t ever find it anymore.

Woodford master's reserve this year is one of the best bourbons I've ever had...

Maker’s Mark Cask Strength. Incredibly underrated and readily available.

Wild Turkey 101. It is quintessentially bourbon

Came here for this! My absolute go to.

Woodford, Woodford double oak, Jim Beam

Old Fo

Old forester 1910

Knob Creek 9. I don’t think it gets the love it deserves for the age statement, proof, and price. Soooo good.

OF 1910

All day. I always have 2 bottles on hand.

💯

Russels single barrel

Angel’s Envy rye

$100 a bottle though 😬 just went to their distillery for a tour a few months back and had the rye for the first time. My favorite whiskey I've ever had in my entire life.

JDSBBP

What I was gonna say

Knob creek Single Barrel reserve, got a local place that has them around $40 when they flash sale them so I stock up then.

Buffalo Trace

Wild Turkey 101

🌽Mellow Corn 🌽

Markers 46

Makers it a double

Early times Bib

I love it, but it’s always feast or famine in my area. None on shelves for a couple months, then it’s overflowing for a few weeks.

OF1920, Rare Breed, 4Roses SiB, ER, ECBP, KC12. This is my short list of always have a backup.

Rittenhouse and Granddads BiB

OF 100- one of my favs for cocktails

Widow Jane 10YO.

Woodford Double Oaked

Buffalo Trace

Jack Daniels SBBP I honestly don’t know how this bottle isn’t talked about more

Woodford Reserve double oak.

Woodford Reserve Double Oaked. It's what I had when my son was born and it's become my go to. I love trying new whiskies but I'll always have one of these stocked.

Elijah Craig small batch.

Eagle Rare

And you're just able to get that easily around you? If so, where is this?

Jdsbbp

Stellum rye sib cask strength

Old Overholt BiB Rye

Early times Bib

Turkey 101 is a good one to have on hand regardless of anything. Especially with the cold times approaching.

Laphroaig 10

Ecsb or some form of E Craig (BP or private barrel). Some form of knob creek 9,12, etc.

WT101

Laphroaig 10. I absolutely love the complexity at a great price point for scotch.

Bourbon: Woodford Double Oaked

Buffalo Trace.

Wild turkey 101

Wild Turkey 101. Can’t beat the taste & price

Turkey 101. Been my daily drinker for many years now

Eagle Rare. It's tough to find but where there's a will there's a way. Always have a backup for the backup and a 1.75 in reserve.

Wild Turkey 101

1792 FP

Please send me some I can never find it lol. Small batch is my go too.

Baker’s 7

Michter’s US 1 American Whiskey (albeit it not technically bourbon)

Just restocked my empty bottle yesterday. So good. Really want to try their Sour Mash and Toasted Rye as well.

Wt101

Rare Breed

Nikka From The Barrel

Had this for the first time this past weekend at Disney Springs in Orlando. It was a really nice pour. I was a bit devastated they had ran out of the Heaven hill 27yr earlier in the day as I had never even seen that before, but the Nikki was a pleasant consolation prize.

Old Grandad BiB, has been for 10 years.

Evan Williams 1783

It is the good shit at the good price!

I do the same thing with cigars. I take the bands off and no one is the wiser.

OF 1920, eight days a week and twice on Sunday.

Most definitely WILD TURKEY 101!!

Willet 8 yr rye. I mean it's incredible what you can get for just $39 and a time machine.

Evan Williams 1783

Joseph Magnus for me.

WT101

Elijah Craig for lower proof and for higher proof I rotate between Old Forester 100 and Old Grandad 114.

Four Roses Single Barrel Barrel Strength picks, any New Riff whiskey I have and any Watershed picks I have. Only brands I will have 10+ offerings from consistently

WT 101 Rye

Jdsbbp, balvenie 12, ecbp, red breast 12 cs

OG 114

Old Grandad Bonded

Talisker 10. I don't care if this is a bourbon sub.

Old Grandad Bonded

WT101

Regular ass Makers Mark. Always my "go to" after starting the night with a pour or two from an allocated or more expensive bottle.

Lagavulin

Woodford double oaked

WT101

Maker’s 46.

Laphroaig 10.

Wild Turkey 101. I will also agree on the OF 100 and The Coopers Craft 100. But WT 101 is always there.

OGD 114

Wild Turkey 101. My wife usually knows when it’s time to grab another handle from the grocery store too so we are never out of it.

Wild turkey 101

Wild Turkey 101

Buffalo trace or OF 1910. Would LOVE to keep some angels envy rye around but it's too pricey.

Wild Turkey 101.

Bulleit

OGD 114

Elijah Craig Small Batch

Redbreast 12

Wild Turkey 101 always on the bar. It’s just a great sipper and does well in cocktails.

Bookers

Eagle Rare for me.

John J Bowman Single Barrel without question

Oh holy shit yes but so hard to find

Evan Williams

Old Forester 86 proof. My go to, so good. Isn’t a flashy name but a great bourbon

Larceny

Weller 107

Going to go a little different than most folks here, but Smoke Wagon Straight Bourbon. 92 proof, works well in cocktails but drinks just fine neat. Being in the Vegas area it's easy to find and hovers around $25-30.

Old tub

And I guess I’m the only one that like Larceny as my mixer.

Basil Hayden’s no question

Unfortunately not a fan.

JDSPBP, ECBP or SiB, and Kentucky Spirit or Russels SiB

Knob Creek and WT101 are staples in my cabinet

To be honest, either Trader Joe's Wheated or OGD 114. Nothing fancy, just good, inexpensive whiskey

Woodford double oak and Russell’s Reserve 10 year. Once those get low I go and buy another.

Elijah Craig barrel Proof

Balcones Baby Blue or Four Roses Single Barrel

Four Roses SiB for sure. Although MM 101 & JB SiB have worked their way into the steady rotation. For the most part, always available, and always good

I have 2:

Jameson Black Barrel, nice middle point between Irish and bourbon flavours

Michters sour mash

Rare breed and KC single barrel reserve.

ECBP and EHTSMB
