My backups would be OF1910, OF1920, WT Rare Breed, Woodford Reserve Double, and JD single barrel barrel proof. TonyB
Why would you have backups of all bourbons that you can just easily find at any time? Don't get me wrong, these are all solid whiskeys, but they're not hard to find.
@@slvrbach fwiw I find JD SB BP is usually sold out in my area and the main online stores I use
Good to see Trenton back and well-rested from vacation! Would love to see his backup bottles as well.
Yes, case and all.😊
I second this 😁👍
Kurt: “I like to have other people have a chance too.”
Wise words and much needed philosophy in a world of bourbon hoards and flippers.
I got a back up to my EH Taylor Small Batch at MSRP. They had 3 more bottles and I left them there for someone else. I did same with Jack Daniels SBBP RYE. I checked the following week and everything was gone. So, I know there were other happy people. 🎉🎉
"So shines a good deed in a weary world"
@@atg1338 I'm looking for a back up now. I'll be going into Atlanta Friday and look for it there. I'm half way on mine. JD SBBP RYE, Sagamore Cask strength, Hard Truth and Emerald Giant Cask strength are the Rye I seem to gravitate to at the moment.
So true
Back up for me are WR Double Oaked, Four Roses single barrel, OF 1910, and 1792. I think I need to get another Bakers though!
Seagrass is an ongoing release. On the label you can actually find a small number on it that shows which batch it is.
My key back-ups are Wild Turkey 101 and Knob Creek 12. Nothing fancy, but I sure don't want to run out. As someone who also lives in Indiana, I appreciate you only buying 1 back up at time. I struggle to find a lot of the different bourbons out there, yet see guys online posting that they just bought 12 bottles of allocated bourbons. So thank you for leaving some on the shelves are everyone else.
Cries in Montana
Agree on 101... I may be crazy but I actually prefer it over rare breed... Its definitely my "cheap" sipper.
Summer old fashioned?? WE NEED A RECIPE!!!
it has pineapple, that could be interesting for sure
In a previous video, but it’s the following:
- 2oz barrell seagrass bourbon
- 1/4oz liber & co pineapple gum syrup
- pour over block of ice / stir
Which video? Can’t find it.
How in the world can you go without these two; Old forester 1910, and Woodford Double Oak??
Yes!
100% on the 1910... And double oak is the best Woodford
Great call on the Woodford double oak.
Woodford Double Oak is always on my shelf
The OF1920 is good stuff too
I was looking at our backups just the other day...
Widow Jane Decadence, John J Bowman Single Barrel, Henry McKenna 10-year, Eagle Rare 10-year, Buffalo Trace Single Barrel, Bardstown Origin Bottled in Bond, and Larceny Batch C922. Great show guys.
Those are my back ups except the Widow Jane but add Heaven Hill 7 bnb
Only back up bottle I have right now is old forster 100 proof thats my go to daily sipper. Several I wished I had back ups for but my collection is small and tried to build it up with variety. Up to around 30 bottles now
I had a tasting for friends over the weekend, and out of 25+ bottles, a John J. Bowman barrel pick was the clear winner. It was so good...
nice topic idea, guys! I'm pretty new to all of this (2-3 of years in) - I keep an extra Knob Creek 12, Henry McKenna (for some reason it is now pretty widely available again near me), Calumet 16 and Innkeeper's Blend. Also, a few Buffalo Trace for guests, summer drinks. I see Seagrass in nearly every store here (Mpls), so I don't get too worried about missing it.
Good selections. My shelf staples are Woodford Reserve Double Oak
Old Forester 1910
Elijah Craig (BP if they have)
Wild Turkey Rare Breed BP
Makers 46
Evan Williams BiB
Both of these guys are my favorite whiskey reviewers, I find myself looking through their videos before buying any bottles I haven’t bought before and I find them to be right on the money.
Our back ups are Wellar antique 107 and old elk Arminaque and Old Elk wheated.
Currently I have backups for Benchmark Bonded, so much carmel. Early Times BiB, because it's not available here and it's great for the price. 2 Eagle Rare 1.75 backups from 2011, got them on clearance for $50 a piece and open one for special occasions. Lastly Knob Creek Rye Cask Strength Batch 2. An awesome bottle that I hope they do again.
My favorite to have a back up of is New Riff Malted Rye
Kurt... how do you make your "Summer Old Fashion" using Barrel Seagrass and what else would you use as an alternative whiskey?
I only have a few backups, usually of bottles that aren't always available here. When they are in stock, I pick one up for the next dry spell.
Baker's 7, Heaven Hill BiB, Buffalo Trace, Springbank 10.
Got a single barrel suggestion for y’all. It’s Driftless Glen single barrel. This was the bottle that started the obsession with whiskey. The distillery has a fun story and for $40 at Binny’s, the juice is pretty tasty. Not sure if you’ve tried it yet but think you’d enjoy it.
Have you all tryd Ezra brook’s 99 proof?!?! Pretty good stuff!
Yours and Trenton's interactions with each other keeps me coming back it's a fun and informative environment which makes it entertaining
The big question is.
Why couldn't Trent line up the Wild Turkey RB bottle appropriately?
Looked at it 5 times and still didn't turn it. Just cruel for us with ocd.
I've only ever overstocked on Makers 46 because my local liquor store had it perpetually $10 off MSRP so I'd buy 2-3 bottles and restock when I got down to 1. I have a hard time tying up money in backups of fancy bottles when I'd rather find a new bottle I haven't tried usually. Anything that's a must have should generally be on the shelf somewhere near me.
The bourbons I have back up bottles of are: Knob Creek 12, Eagle Rare, EH Taylor Small Batch, EH Taylor Single Barrel, Buffalo Trace, Early Times BIB, Heaven Hill 7 Year BIB, Henry McKenna 10 Year BIB, John J Bowman Single Barrel, MM 46 Cask Strength, MM BEP, OGD 114, OF SB BS, Belle Meade Reserve and Cooper’s Craft 100. 🥃
You are pretty fortunate you can get all of those. Where I live, even in a larger "state store", you'd only find knob creek 12 and MM46. You might find BT if you sleep outside the store when the truck with the one case comes twice a year if you're lucky.
My Backup bottles.
2XO
Henry McKenna 10
Blantons
Larceny B523
Stagg 22A
J Henry (Cognac finished)
Heaven Hill 7YR BIB
I live in Rhode Island and have been getting Eagle Rare and Buffalo Trace for 29.99 and 22.99 respectively. Needless to say I have backups of these bottles.
Welcome back Trenton! I LOVE OF Rye! Was able to nab some while visiting KY. They don’t have it here in MO. Wish I woulda grabbed two bottles!
The first time i bought Glenallachie 12 after Ralfy talked it up, I paid $45 at Binny's. I think it's now $70!
OF1920 for me, always on hand. Usually 1792 Full Proof as well.
Mike here from Texas, I keep back up’s for Wild Turkey 101 , Buffalo Trace & Four Roses Small Batch Select!
I just seen 10 bottles of the Barrel Seagrass at our local Sam's Club. I've tried Rye whiskeys, so I will try this one and buy a backup before they're gone.
Rare Breed, Russels SB, OF1920, Weller 107, Blantons
I would have thought there would be more bottles like the Weller Antique in this video, since it's not always easy to find. You really don't need backup bottles if you can just go to the liquor store on any given day and find another of these bottles.
Russel 10 yr. Ehtaylor Small Batch, Blantons, eagle rare, and michters sour mash.
I´ve bought the last 4 bottles of Rare Breedfor 27€ back in 2022. Got still 3 on the shelf :)
ECBP B520 is my favorite version too. If you like Westward, you should try the Stout Cask finish. It's the best out of their line-up that's publicly available. It impresses non-whiskey drinkers and the experienced as well
Great topic! I'm still early in my Bourbon Journey but so far my current rebuys are KC9, Russels 10, ECBP, 4 Roses Sib, Rare breed, & Barrel Bourbon.
My backups are Rare Breed and a knob creek single barrel store pick from my local spot
I actually only have 1 backup --- a 14yr MGP Rya - Mt. Vernon Maryland Heritage Series. Everything else is 1 and done.
Kurt, do you like peated malt whisky? If so, I highly recommend Ledaig 10 year. At about $65, and 46.3%, unchillfiltered, and what’s looks to be no caramel coloring, it’s an exceptional whisky! And my backups are ECBP, Weller FP, Stagg (Jr), Maker’s Mark 46 cask strength, and Larceny BP. I’d backup Rare Bird, but it’s pretty readily available where I live in Central Illinois. Slàinte Mhath!
Great show guys interesting comments by Trenton about Old Granddad 114 I haven't been able to find it in Rhode Island or Southern Massachusetts maybe it's allocated here too.
Grew up in Portland. The Westward is so damn good. I've gone through 3 bottles of the rum cask finish
Last night i grabbed the last 2 bottles of Belle Meade Reserve at the local Total Wine for 121$ total... awesome stuff.
I definitely bought replacement on Rare Breed and OGD114 after I finished them.
OGD114 couldn't be found for a while here, and now it's showing up more and more thankfully.
OGD 114 is crazy here in IN. Just about a year or two ago we could find this everywhere and overnight POOF, gone. I've seen a few in the Valparaiso area recently but not much else around.
Hey Kurt! I am searching for the exact details of your Barrell Seagrass + Liber and Co Pineapple Syrup mixes. I could have sworn you had said it was just those two you mixed but here you say it is an Old Fashioned. I've got both. If you get a chance let me know. Hope you all have a Merry Christmas.
I’m happy to see John J. Bowman SB on the show! It’s one of my favorites, although it’s becoming harder to find even in Virginia where it’s aged and bottled.
Man John J. is my jam I have 4 backup bottles. Anyone saying Blanton's really don't like 🥃 that way...
Middle west wheated is amazing also I had batch 57 and I recently picked up batch 154 I believe I could be wrong.
My only one backed up is Weller 107, I have 3 more. Knob Creek 12 is now unavailable in my state, I'm out, I'll be buying 2 when I find it
Fun topic. My back up are Rare Breed, Smoke Wagan unucut-unfiltered and 101 for mixers.
I have backups of allocated stuff like Eagle Rare & Weller SR; I’ll grab one if I see it. if I can get it in a store anytime then no need for a back up. OGD 114 definitely worth backing up.
New subscriber and holy cow I'm loving your videos! One of my subscribers said that you shop at Bee Liquors because I had just been there for the first time last week! I'm in Central Indiana and will sure be making a trip there at least once a month. Harry was so nice and friendly! You've definitely given me an idea for a video after watching this. Cheers Kurt and Trenton!
OGD 114 makes the best old fashioned.
I'm so glad someone else appreciates ECBP B520. I'm sitting on a bottle of it right now for backup or trade, because I loved it so much. I don't think Heaven Hill has put out a batch I liked as much since.
As an Ohioan, I go on OHLQ all the time. Its great.
The downside of State allocated liquor though as that we don't have nearly the diversity that you can find anywhere else. We don't have plenty of notable name brands in Ohio. Things like Four Gate, Starlight etc.
Some may trade that for "easy" access to Weller, but I don't know.
Starlight is coming. OHLQ did some picks.
Seagrass is an ongoing release. Here in NY it's everywhere and plentiful.
I wonder if because we are in different states, it's different for you.
I have the Seagrass and the 16 and 20 year Seagrass. Both incredible.
Old Forester 1920 prohibition style is my constant reserve stock.
Always great to have Trenton back😊 I always like to have a W/T 101 and a Markers 46 ( Bill's recipe) for my back up bottles.
46 is delicious, I just found a 46 Cask Strength which is my new favorite bottle of all time. It’s like 46 but on roids lol
Surprised no Woodford Double Oak. Always keep a backup of Blantons, Woodford DO, EH Taylor SB, Green River Wheated, Eagle Rare
Great selection. The Barrel Dovetail is another winner. Like it better than Seagrass.
I can still get OGD 114 for $25 in CO. I have 2 backup bottles.. anticipating it becoming scarce
My current backups:
*Rebel 10 year SB
*Eagle Rare
*John J. Bowman SB
*ECBP C922
*Filibuster SB Single Estate
*Blanton's (only because I came across one at MSRP)
Still haven’t seen the old forester rye yet but I’m looking. Nice choices though. Enjoy!!
I've seen OGD 114 in the last couple monthly raffles here in Nebraska 😂😂
I really gotta get on that Old Forester rye...
I have never seen a bottle of ogd 114 in California. I even ordered a case from the warehouse to my store personally and it never came in.
I found these 375ml bottles with corks on Amazon. When my bottles go down to about half, I transfer the bourbon to those. I even use a hot water trick to peel off the labels and slap them on. I think it lowers the air exposure.
Found another Henry McKenna 10 to backup my existing bottle and a Wild Turkey Rare Breed Rye backup
I have only two back ups
Buffalo trace and Tullamore D.E.W. -Rum Cask
Always keep a few weller 107, FP, ER, m10 rye on deck
Let's see.. Old Forester SBBP, EC SBBP, Lagavulin 16, Dalmore 12, Dalmore Cigar Malt, Octomore, Joseph Magnus Cigar Blend, Woodford Reserve DO, Penelope Toasted, Weller 107, Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare, Blantons, Knob Creek SB, Bakers 7, JD SBBP, Widow Jane Decadence, Blue Note UCUF
I try to always have a backup for my Woodford Reserve Double Oaked as well as my Bulleit 10 year.
Eagle Rare is the only backup bottle I have. Still looking for a OWA to have a backup.
Ogd 114 is great. $25 here in Vegas area. Not always available. Wants it hits stores it goes fast. Rare breed goes fast too
Cant wait for this! Cheers from the Prairies of Canada! 🥃
The first backup i got was recent on hardins creek jacobs well: my new favorite and got it from a great store at a really nice deal!
Henry Mckenna 10 year, old forester 1920,1910 and Woodford reserve Double oak and Early Times BiB are the ones I always have back ups for
I wish you would do a tour of your bar and what bottles you have
Is the next video going to be Trenton's bunker bottles?
The bottles I bunker:
Jack Daniel's Barrel Proof Tennessee Whiskey
Old Forester Signature 100 (buy it by the handle when it goes on sale)
There are many other bottles I'll pick up when I see them on sale (e.g., Rare Breed Bourbon and Knob Creek 12-year) and some that I make sure to always have 1 bottle on-hand (e.g., Middle West Ported Pumpernickel Rye and Booker's), but only JD & OF hit my palate squarely enough to justify bunkering. Slainte!
Definitely have a backup 107 and Ogd114, of1920 and kc9 are two more I like to keep on hand
I hate my middle west ported pumpernickel rye. Been opened for over a year. Way too earthy for my taste. Mud and leaves, cant get past it.
Congrats on the back up B520. That is my favorite bourbon of all time and I just bought a back up from a buddy that lives in valpo!
I’ve got several backups of Buffalo Trace and a backup of Rare Breed.
Usually just Buffalo Trace for me, but Eagle Rare if I can find it.
Key backups for me that I always stock up on are Early Times BiB and Eagle Rare.
Will Trenton be doing his backup lineup next?
Great show and appreciate the idea of just buying 1 backup. So many things are hard to find now it is refreshing to see you giving others a shot!
Great topic! I keep several backups myself, including WT Rare Breed, Chattanooga 111, Peerless Double Oaked, Heaven Hill BIB, Russell's Reserve Single Barrel, and Early Times BIB. Nice to see Trenton back, looking tanned and rested! Also, glad to see you had luck with OHLQ's inventory list. My results have been hit or (mostly) miss.
Been looking all over the place for a bottle of Peerless Double Oaked. Can’t seem to find a bottle anywhere. ☹️
Living in Ohio, I wish Ohio was the land of weller its hard to find just special reserve and i havet seen antique on about a year
Can't live without some ECBP AND LARCENY BP
The one good thing about liq go buying those liquor stores is that they will be selling everything at retail it's where I get my hard to find whiskey
Something can't be "so unique." Something is unique or it is not.
You guys ever done a review on WLW? Very interested in watching that if so
Great vid! Everyone always talks about hunting bottles and having special ones but it is nice to see the bottles that whisky enthusiasts actual want to make sure they keep on hand and why. A couple of surprises in there too! Very nicely done.
I'll have to do a backup bottle count ...there may be many 😁
I would back up Sagamore 8 yr rye but can't find it anywhere now. 😢
Backups are Four Roses Small Batch Select, Old Grandad 114, Balcones Pot Still Rye, Jack Daniels Single Barrel Barrel Proof, Angel's Envy FInished Rye, Russell's Reserve Single Barrel, Larceny C921, and Teelings Small Batch.
Woodward Reserve Double Oaked and Four Roses Single Batch are my main backups.
Wow - I can’t believe you like both of these - DO is my fave, but I really don’t care for the Four Roses at all. Palates are so interesting…
Always have backups: E H Taylor small batch, Knob Creek 9 year, Eagle Rare. Great show! Happy sipping!
