Really awesome collection! I’m glad I’m not the only one who loves getting the Evan Williams Derby bottles. Love the Evan Williams profile cranked up at the higher proof. Cheers
Your wild turkey is newer than 2015, the 90s bottles looked drastically different. You can tell it’s 2015+ because it doesn’t have Austin Nichols on the front label.
I'll be one of the haters - I simply don't understand the collector mentality on bourbon. This guy strikes me as someone who deals a ton on secondary and that's one reason why he has so much allocated junk sitting around unopened. That's fine with me. The real hate is this - If you can't walk around your house and show someone your bourbon without getting winded... ya need to set down the bottle and go for more walks. Stop sitting around your house drinking (and probably smoking) and get some exercise. You're gonna be dead pretty quick if you are in sub 80 and get winded standing around talking to people. The bourbon community is full of massively out of shape people and the hobby is hard enough on the body. Get some exercise, limit what nights of the week you drink, and trade maybe 10% of the time you do focusing on bottles on making a few healthier meals. Your bottles are cool, but they will be far less interesting when you are dead. I'm not here to say you need to be jacked, just at least in good enough shape where you aren't winded just looking at bottles. That's CRAZY.
I actually agree I have a couple friends like him. Yet I'm 44 good shape fit and athletic keep max 25 bottles and I share my whiskey. Having this much Bourbon I feel is silly
You mention the bourbon community is full of massively out of shape people but it's also the case with the gun community and it looks like he's got a nice collection there as well. Lets get in shape people! And as what was mentioned, "in shape", doesn't mean you have to be shredded or running 4 minute miles....come on now.
@@RhinoViper yes I noticed that too that he had lots of guns and stuff. I just think it's getting ridiculously when you're havingshelves in every room of bourbon. Just my opinion it looks tacky
@@Jared40 I have no problem with people collecting things, so long as you can afford it. Having it all over the living room is a bit tacky…but if it was all stored away in a particular bar room or basement that’s fine. But, some people spend too much on golf clubs, some too much on “cars”, some too much on sports cards…you can go on and on. Everyone has their thing.
I just picked up two the KCCS ryes. Local store unburied a case, last month, that had been sitting in their receiving area for 6 years lol. Banger vid, bro 🥃👌🏼🦉
Great video and awesome collection!! Don't drain pour the Laws! I didn't get any craft notes on my single barrel. But if there are odd tastes on the nose and palette, wash it through a brita filter once - basically like a Lincoln County process, that should do the trick. And if it doesn't, wash it through the filter 15 times, haha! It doesn't make the whiskey sweeter, but it will remove a lot of the offending notes.
Outstanding collection. I've got a lot of the same bottles, but man, you got some cool stuff. I found an OF 117 high angels share. Lucked into it for $67.
Great collection! with time and luck definitely obtain awesome Bourbons if you put your heart into it. Always been a fan of barrel proof especially the Old Forester Barrel Proofs so delicious and great heat 😊
I bought that same Early Times a few years ago in one of the rougher areas of Chicago. I couldn't pass on that, OGD 86 proof, and a dusty Old Forester 86 from the same store. Even left a couple extra on the shelf for the next guy. Those types of bottles are all long gone now with so many people interested in bourbon. Dusties now seem to be an occasional 2020 bottle or an older label Wild Turkey.
sick collection man. I am curious as to where you got your shelving in your kitchen that is holding all of the EHT, Eagle Rare etc. I am pretty sure I have been pushing the upper limit of what my current shelving can support haha.
I recommend getting Kings County Distillers Cask Strength. It’s a Blantons SFTB rival for sure. I just licked it up last month visiting my brother in Baltimore. I am a so blown away from it and it’s at $102. I do have a case of store pick stagg and it doesn’t stand up to Kings County. new Riff 8 year is also amazing. I live in WA and don’t see many of these. Came back with many that I don’t ever see in the NW
Early Times are where the birth of the King of Kentucy bottles came from. the mash bill is from Early Times but are specially picked and aged longer. nice collection
So I agree with the starlight products however I enjoy some of their non finished single barrels! I got one picked by the old man and it's almost 6 years old and very very good
Dude the Henry McKenna's flavor varies wildly. My first one tasted amazing and the next one I got tasted like Chemicals. You might need to try other peoples bottles cuz tasting them side by side, they are completely different whiskies between single barrels.
Ngl I say I shop almost exclusively on base for whiskey, and never seen the bib jack Daniel's, it's always the bonded. But hey same stuff just different label.
@@SHHDADDYSWORKN bonded is more oaky and unrefined nutty flavors whereas the Bib is has more banana and creaminess. Also the there’s the price difference with the Bib being a 1 litter and typically cheaper than the bonded 700ml
New Riff SB can be very good, depends on the bottle. In an objective comparison it’s better than Blantons most of the time, although that’s not saying much
Nice collection it sure is a lot of work then collecting since 1991 never knew it would go so out of control My problem is opening the bottles😢 I can't bring myself to do it now pushing over 3,500 unopened bottles I'm getting a little bound up.. I prefer tequila as a drinker but just got into the collecting side of bourbon many years ago and never looked back
I don’t know what’s more impressive, the bourbon collection or the gun collection
OMG found this video while hunting for bourbon reviews. IM SO JEALOUS, you got one hell of a stash
Just said the same thing brother 😮💨 one day
Really awesome collection! I’m glad I’m not the only one who loves getting the Evan Williams Derby bottles. Love the Evan Williams profile cranked up at the higher proof. Cheers
Nice collection! That ringtone had me smiling! Now I have to go watch Back to the Future again!
Your wild turkey is newer than 2015, the 90s bottles looked drastically different. You can tell it’s 2015+ because it doesn’t have Austin Nichols on the front label.
What an impressive collection. Thanks for the private showing. 🥃
Great seeing the collection and hearing all the information, appreciate all you are doing for the whiskey tube
Thank you man!

Nice bottles, I've watched a few of your videos, just subbed after seeing your "Tools." Cheers Brother 👍🥃
Nice
The Bourbon Dude showing all his stuff now. I want the Bourbon Dude know even though we don't see all of it, I still love his channel.

Drinking four roses private barrel barrel select as you say you hate it😂😮💨

A custom bourbon travel case with allocated samples. That's elite.
Who in their right mind wouldn't invite you to their party? 😁🎉

That old forester rye single barrel barrel strength is so good. Hope you enjoy it.
Bro is more stocked then 90% of liquor stores 😂😂
Nice collection! Cheers!
I commented way to early. WTF Bourbon Dude. I am impressed but I am also more impressed you don't flex more on your channel. Very humble of you sir.
Love seeing the J W Dant in the collection
SO SO RELAXING TO WACH AS I HAVE SEVERE ANXITY.. LOVE YA BROTHER AND THANK YOU
I'll take those BP 4Rs off your hands 😂
Found your video by accident. love it! Like the shelves in the kitchen where did you get them.
All that stagg Jr man I wish I had that kind of haul but very nice collection 🥃👍
I wish I had a box of staggs like that they’re so good
sick collection man. I am curious as to where you got your shelving in your kitchen that is holding all of the EHT, Eagle Rare etc. I am pretty sure I have been pushing the upper limit of what my current shelving can support haha.
My mouth was watering the whole time

Ok, Y'all-- to me-- it'll ALWAYS be known as Stagg JR. I'm old school on that-- Btw, you're like the ultimate collector 😮
Can I have my next vacation here!? Amazing, would love to sample so many of these we don’t see in S FL
What are you using to hold your mags on the wall?

JFC man - you have 40 bottles of each bottle that i cant find.. props.
Black guns and lots and lots of brown juice. Yeah, we could be brothers. 👍
I’d recognize the bills store pick logo anywhere! Love the videos and the collection
WHOA........jammin on your pew pew collection.............
Completely agree on that McKenna. The bottle I bought was so bad I gave it away. Like drinking cleaning chemicals.
If all the guns and bourbon are just on the shelves, what in the world is in the safe!!!!
you still hang out at the crazy fox saloon?
I think I’ve only been there once to play some pool 3 years ago.
Wait, do I have a doppelgänger in Covington? That’s probably not me.
I wish I could score a Stagg. Just saw my first bottle in the wild and it was $300
Dude the Henry McKenna's flavor varies wildly. My first one tasted amazing and the next one I got tasted like Chemicals. You might need to try other peoples bottles cuz tasting them side by side, they are completely different whiskies between single barrels.
You can carry as many 2oz bottles with you as you want on a plane, as long as you aren't drinking them on the flight there's no problem.
How can you tell that it's a 1st addition 1910 old forester?
Do people buy bottles not to open for investment?
Well, officially if you open the bottles it’s considered a bar not a collection 😝
Hey man! Love the content! What is your email for contact about JD barrel proof rye pick?
timurs.bourbon.chronicles@gmail.com
Thanks! Email sent
Trade you a store pick Meleck for one of those Staggs 😊
I’ll take a Stagg cuz 🥴🤣😂
Would you part with a JD10 or 12? I can’t find one to save my life.
If you wanna reach him the best way would be to join his facebook group
👍🥃thanks
I thought it was going to be a better collection. Its still good, but just about as good as mine.
Man, I thought it was just me...I can't stand 4 roses either, mine just set there for a guest that does like them.
I don’t have nearly enough money for that collection or the 10K of weapons on the shelves
'Merica 🤟
Ngl I say I shop almost exclusively on base for whiskey, and never seen the bib jack Daniel's, it's always the bonded. But hey same stuff just different label.
It’s not the same stuff
Oh I didn't realize, what's the difference between the two?
@@SHHDADDYSWORKN bonded is more oaky and unrefined nutty flavors whereas the Bib is has more banana and creaminess. Also the there’s the price difference with the Bib being a 1 litter and typically cheaper than the bonded 700ml
Any scotch whisky
God dont let anyone know where you live.hahhahahahahaha
Four Roses Barrel Strength... I love the E mashbill , I'll come hang anytime and dri n k only those!!!
I must have got a bad bottle, but I HATED the new riff single barrel!!!
New Riff SB can be very good, depends on the bottle.
In an objective comparison it’s better than Blantons most of the time, although that’s not saying much
alcohol and guns, what could go wrong :DD
Just how the founding fathers intended
ATF
Dude, the flag on your shirt is backwards
Psht, no 4 grain? jk, but it's the best EHT
I wish he would gift me a stagg. Ive been trying to find a bottle for several years.
dood ! it is uni-horn, not uni-corn . . .
Fred Minnick is full of shit on a lot of stuff...actually don't even follow his recs at all because his tastes do not align with mine, apparently.
Nice collection it sure is a lot of work then collecting since 1991 never knew it would go so out of control My problem is opening the bottles😢 I can't bring myself to do it now pushing over 3,500 unopened bottles I'm getting a little bound up..

I need a friend like this 🥃 I have no local bourbon bros 🥲
Yeah I wish he lived closer to me!
