The BEST Bourbons For Beginners

I can't find eagle rare no where around these parts.

Old Forester 86 is the worst bourbon I ever had

How long does a opened bottle keep its flavor? I see you have alot of opened bottles on your shelves

Roll Tide

I love that he basically has an excuse to drink on the job

I love the "if you can't find Old Forester 86 proof you're not trying real hard or you're in a very very strange state and you probably need to move".... True and real lmao

Cant forget Early Times Bottled in bond. Black cap or Blue, its consistently good.

last one i bought was wt 101, has a bit more rye bite than some others but good nontheless

My glens will be here tomorrow. Gonna try the elijah craig and makers 101. I generally drink tequila or vodka so curious about bourbon from your videos. Most of my experiences are from highschool drinking jack and jim.

how smashed do you get on an average day? Thanks for the tips though i just found your channel and am learning alot! lol you look a bit sweaty in this one.

My only experience with whiskey is fireball lol not sure if thats a good starting point

You need to try the weldon mills rockfish low proof but dang if it anit good its made in Weldon North Carolina please order ya some if you dont wanna drive that far

Just bought Evan Williams Bottled In Bond and Elijah Craig for my first bottles. Probably pick up the Four Roses next. Those were the only three available around me.

Never been a fan of bourbons, I'm more into scottish single malts, but four roses is one of my favorite "cheap-pours".

Really love your videos, great content, entertaining.
Been a singlemalt drinker for the last 25y but after seeing your videos I got intriged to try some bourbons, tried the obvious like Jack Daniels, Jim Beam etc but after this video I order my self a Elijah Craig small batch, not so much bourbon on the shelf here in Sweden.

Ever had Bulleit burbon?

Can't find Buffalo Trace in and around Cincinnati. Bummer

Is there a reason Knob Creek is never on any Bourbon critics lists. Is it just too common?

Wild Turkey 101 is what started my love for Bourbon. Add Makers to the list

I love my Wild Turkey, but I think Makers Mark and Knob Creek should have made this list, imho.

Jim beam > Buffalo trace

What are your thoughts about New Riff?

What started me off on bourbon was the buffalo trace bow I’m trying to find rare eagle

I have yet to try buffalo trace and i love bourbon😂 i see it every time, next time i get a bottle i got to try it

How did angels envy not make the list. I had it first time 2 weeks ago and best I’ve had.

I am enraged that we got an extra 60% Bourbons recommendations, lol jk

From what I was able to get my hands on, I really liked Michter’s small batch bourbon. The buttery taste is delicious.

Any suggestion to try next?

Just started my bourbon journey. I like the Eagle Rare #1, Buffalo Trace #2, & Four Roses #3. However, I realize this can change over time. Example: I hated Angles Envy at first, now its f'n delicious. Larceny is super tasty, and my long time friend Wild turkey 101 is not as good to me as it once was. I have learned that I really like wheated bourbons over rye bourbons. Taste is subjective and mine changes. Great review! Thank you...

Haven’t tried the wild turkey or benchmark or oF86 yet (I jumped to OF1870) and the only 4R I tried was small batch and didn’t like it. LOVE LOVE LOVE Eagle rare!!! I dig BT a bunch too. The EW BIB is a great pour. ER for the win though. I recently tried 1792 small
Batch and like that a lot.

hey i have a question, ive never really enjoyed sipping any alcohol, and ive never really liked whiskey or burbon. but a friend poured me a shot of blantons and i loved how it didnt burn alot. do you have any other recommendations that have litttle to no burn?

I have 4 out of these 8 bottles in my cabinet as we speak. All great recommendations TJ. Love your videos.

If you can find it… in this price range, Evan Williams Single Barrel can’t be beat. Wish I could find it in Texas, as I probably wouldn’t buy anything else.

How are you not drunk at the end of these videos?!

Where is makers Mark

Wild Turkey 101 is one of my go to bourbons

Even Williams Bottled in Bond is my favorite bourbon for the money. It's stupid good. I can drink it strait out of the bottle, on the rocks, or use it as a mixer. Perfect bottle for a beginner for sure. If they don't like it! I'll take it!

Time to divorce my unmarried wife so I can let’s these hit different

Started with Elijah a while ago and tend to always go back to it. just so good and consistent

My coworker gave me a bottle of beam devils cut fir my birthday. Wasnt huge on the other whiskies I had tried (makers and jack) but this one was really good. I guess that was my gateway because now im getting into to whiskey lol.

Went out and got the old forester, buffalo trace, Elijah Craig, and wild turkey. My favorite was the Elijah Craig.

step number 1 have a lot of money to spend on bourbon

Do they not sell Makers or Ancient Age in Alabama?? 🤨😁

Evan Williams 1783 is a great value bourbon that doesn't cost to much and tastes great.

Elijah Craig would be my favourite out of these
The price in the states is crazy cheap. Basil Hayden and I think Woodford reserve would maybe be in there for me. There's an floral note to four roses in not mad about.

Jefferson Ocean is a must try. I just started a new bottle of Blood Oath and it is pretty good but pretty in price.
