Bonding Over Bourbon
Приєднався 3 сер 2023
There's a lot of whiskey out there, just waiting to be found, and we'll help you find it.
On Bonding Over Bourbon, we go around hunting bottles, highlighting liquor stores, and showing you everything they've got - the good, the bad, the often overlooked, and the allocated. When we're not hunting for bottles, we like to decode the mystery and legacy behind legendary distilleries and the products that they make. Our videos have inspired people to drive cross-country in search of their favorite unicorns, and we spark excitement in those fortunate enough to drive home with the bottle of their dreams. Join two native Chicagoans (Chris & Kat) as we drive from store to store, and from city to city, in search of killer deals and showing you where to find them.
There's a story inside of every bottle, waiting to be told. So crack open your favorite bottle, grab yourself a pour, and join us. After all, life's too short to not enjoy it.

May Bottle Haul: We Beat Our Old Bourbon Hunting Record!
Great video! I feel the same about Blanton's, Starlight Cigar Blend🤮, and Woodford DO. I've been looking for that Wheel Horse Cigar Blend!😲 I keep striking out whenever I think I've finally found it. Keep up the great work! 🥃
Thanks for watching! Keep asking your store owners about incoming store picks and you're bound to find it eventually.
Website looks great! The Ben Holliday and the Mary Dowling are on my list. Have a great holiday weekend.
Thanks for watching and checking out the site! Happy Thanksgiving!
Hard pass on all Benchmark. I just don’t get it.
They might not be perfect replacements, but they're at least a more affordable and attainable option in a rapidly inflating market.
Truth
Eagle Rare is a fav for me but I really only reach for it in spring and summer months 🥃🦅
I completely agree with the Old Foresters Barrel Strength Bourbon, I have one that is pure ethanol, not very enjoyable. Chicago Bourbon Club/Brownstone did a pick that was pretty good though. Still trying to get that Jeopson’s maple finished bourbon
We're rooting for you to find it!
Hey buddy I just ordered from Atlantic. Cigars need to look into them
I'll check it out 🤙
I think my favorite part about your channel is that it's really cool to see how aligned up our pallets are. I felt the same way you did on almost every single bottle you described (besides Mary D bc I never had her before) in this video. Another great video! I'll see you Saturday!
Love to hear that your palate matches ours! I knew we liked you for a reason 😉 But seriously though - try that Mary Dowling before it's gone!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the Wheel Horse! After I opened mine, I brought it to a bottle share and I did not come home with anything left!! Absolutely love 1910 vs Woodford DO and you know my feelings on the Benchmark line! Great content and spot on!
Damn! I mean, it's crazy good value! We're so happy to have it in our collection. Thanks for watching, Tony.
I totally agree on the Woodford double oaked. Disagree on the Old Forester 1910.
Are you not a fan of 1910?
Just picked up your store pick it is EXCELLENT!
Amazing 🙌 Thanks for the support! We're very glad that you enjoyed it as much as we do.
@BondingOverBourbon I'm newer to bourbon as a hobby/interest and you guys being local Chicagoland has been super cool :) any particular local fests/events to keep an eye out for?
@AThousandSons1 glad we can help you grow your collection. Check the Binny's website regularly to check out the store events that they do. Some are crazy big!
Bottle shop is live! Another wave of items are being uploaded and will be available soon.
Thanks for Visiting!!
Thanks for watching, and for having such a great program for cool bottles 😎
I enjoyed this video. I also checked out the bottle shop. Easy layout, fair prices for sure and you have quite a few on there already.
Thanks, Tom! I worked very hard on making sure we had a robust selection of options for reasonable prices. I'll be adding more as we go.
was surprised to see eagle rare on the list but after thinking about it I kind of agree. It hasn't been a bottle I've reached for recently... but on the flip side, it's typically one of the more reasonably priced pours at bars/restaurants near us, so I can't quite write it off
We absolutely agree with you, and you bring up a really good point. We may just have to enjoy this one at a bar every once in a while instead of at home.
I need to pick up a wheel horse. That Woodford DO is pretty good in an Old Fashioned. I’ve heard great stuff about Benchmark also. Thanks for sharing. Great review. That Ben Holiday is a good one to. Cheers🥃🥃🥃
Wheel Horse is one of the better value brands on the market right now. We haven't had Woodford DO as an old fashioned, but you're basically the authority on that cocktail so we'll give it a try. Thanks for watching!
Great video! I finally tried the sample of your Jeppson's pick. It was really good. Need to check out more offerings from them.
We're glad you enjoyed it! They have some really great releases and an awesome single barrel program.
I enjoy the Wheel Horse Cigar Blend as well. Easy drinking bottle that disappears too fast.
Couldn't agree more! We'll have to try to use a lot of discipline.
Great video! What I love about your channel is that you always recommend great smaller alternatives to the big FOMO bottles. I've been drinking whiskey long enough to remember when Wellers were on every shelf for cheap prices and High West was an unknown and brand new offering. Many of these bottles that you guys recommended could very well be the ones everyone is chasing 5 years from now. Why wait for others to catch on when there are so many great alternatives just sitting there. Keep up the fantastic content
Thanks, that's exactly what we're trying to do! Thanks for watching and being able to see our vision for what value we can bring to WhiskeyTube. We always appreciate your comments and support.
Thank you, some good recommendations!
We hope they help you out! Cheers!🥃
I'm very curious about the legality of forced bundles for allocated products. There's a NMBB store that I visit in the Chicagoland area that has all their allocated bournons bundled into $500-$800 purchases. If I want a Stagg Jr, I'm forced to buy a JWB and four more bottles. It's crazy.
That's insane! I've heard of some bundling, but never anything like that.
May I ask a dumb question? What is a NMBB store? Thanks, I'm fairly new to this and truly don't know what it is.
A large retail chain or store (Binny's/Total Wine, etc) that doesn't require a membership like (Costco/Sam's Club does
@@BondingOverBourbon Thank you
I’ll have to give Jeppson’s a try. Thanks guys!
Thanks for watching! We hope you're able to find some soon.
It deserves to sit at $150.
what target is THAT!
Logan Square
Why don’t you show all the bottles you bought?
Not all the bottles we picked up were from stores, and not all places we purchased bottles at wanted us to film. We don't include these bottles because we don't want to lead people to believe that we got them during that video.
What was the dusty from a decade ago?
We found another Jim Beam Rye from 2012 on the bottom shelf
@@BondingOverBourbon I thought that's what it was. need to catch up on my dusty knowledge
@dominiccampos7297 Sometimes, you can just tell that the labels don't look as modern.
I thought it was the JD Tennessee Rye 😂🥃
Now I notice the different background music! You guys always discover these places around town I've never heard of before. Impressed with their scotch selection. Maybe in the future you guys could pan a little closer to the independent bottlings of scotch so we can see exactly what distilleries they are. Cheers.
We'll give it a shot!
I just wanted to say I don't know where you cigars but I like cigar Daly is a good place online I get mine there
I'll check them out. Thanks!
@BondingOverBourbon yes sir
Lots of good ones for a gas station 👍💯😬 Cheers 🥃
Almost too many options to be honest 😂
$42 for the Pursuit Oak Collection Sherry Finished rye was an unbelievable steal! #triggered
Longrow 21 just sitting on the shelf…
We've never had it before. Is it super hard to find?
Yes. It’s usually behind the glass if you even see it. On the shelf there it looks like the tag says $660 which is about $40 less than i have ever seen it. Only about 3-4000 bottles are made annually, not sure how many make it to the states? It’s the peated version of Springbank
That's crazy! Didn't realize we had such a gem sitting right in front of us.
I've heard great things about the bigger pride stores. Great find, great vid! You guys have done it again!
Turns out that everything you heard might be true. Thanks for watching!
Another video you don’t acknowledge Ben Holladay SRW Rickhouse. 😢
We really enjoy it, but we don't love the pricepoint
@ $81 for a wheated 120 proof 6 year + bourbon isn’t a reasonable price point?
It's definitely not the worst pricepoint, but some places around us are asking for $90 plus. We're trying to look for stuff we can't really find these days, so we might be taking it for granted, to be completely honest.
This video has peaked my interest in the Old Pepper BIB🤔🥃
Definitely worth a try! Pepper is doing some great things since they stopped sourcing.
I need to try the Japanese whiskey soon 🥃🥃
Soon, we'll have a highlight video for Japanese whisky brands you should try
Great catch on the Barrel.. That store seems to have decent prices also.
Thanks! We almost left without it 😅
Subbed 👍... Need to find GOOD stores around the ILL State...thank you
Thanks for the sub! You'll find plenty of great spots across the state on our channel.
Another great video! Cheers 🥃
🙏🥃
That Lucky Seven 12 yr 😮
It was very tempting to grab it, but our wallet fatigue is at an all time high 😅
If you haven’t had the Rebel Small Batch, for the price it’s really good. It’s the remaining sourced products batched together. Need to stop at this establishment next time I am in that area. Any recommendations for other stores near there?
Rebel is excellent for the price! Cheers.
SavWay is pretty decent as well.
So glad the other Benchmark products made it to Illinois , years back that Full Proof was the highlight of my trip to Indy,I walked out of their Total Wine with a shopping cart, don't know if you knew this but that District Made is distilled in Washington DC which I found interesting and I didn't know they had a rye, nice job guys.🥃
Same! We were taking trips every 2-3 months to Indiana to grab more cause you can't beat the value. We'll have to check out District Made. Thanks for the recommendation!
Great video! Looks like a fantastic store.
Definitely caught us by surprise. Thanks for watching, Mary 🙏
Nice place
Driftless Glenn doing a great job these days I love their cask strength ryes .
I saw a couple bottles on the shelf considering it's a Wisconsin distillery I figured they might carry more.
Go to their other store in Racine on Washington great owners and fantastic barrel picks the Oak Creek store is my local stop 🧂🥃🇺🇸
We plan on making the trip to the other locations hopefully pretty soon.
It’s a good thing this place is in Wisconsin, otherwise I’d probably be living in my car in their parking lot!
🤣🤣🤣 same
The overall volume of finished whisky is insane! Half the shelf seems like it’s been finished in some cask these days. Kind of rediculous to me. If the bourbon isn’t good enough to be drank neat, then don’t drink it!
Some people like their cucumbers better as pickles.
That Baby Saz is a great value at $26
Hey not so loud about Woodmans. That's my little secret.
Picked up a peerless Dbl oak there couple weeks ago for around 80
Nice! That's a pretty good price for it.
