    I only got started 10 months ago and this is a great list to go with. I'm yet to try the JTSBROWN. I'm in Georgia and have not seen it on the shelves. My cheap bottle is Evan Williams BiB. I just got a bottle in Florida for 15.99. Here, around me, I find it for 21.99. Another cheap bottle is Benchmark Fullproof and Benchmark Bonded. I love those pours.
    Eagle Rare is 39.99 to 59.99 at different places around me.
    I find myself also getting backups for Larceny Barrel Proof, Jack Daniel Barrel proof Rye and Bourbon, 1792 Fullproof, Blue Note Uncut unfiltered, and Stagg when I find it. Great video. 🎉🎉

    • @whiskey_weather
      @whiskey_weather  9 місяців тому

      Can’t go wrong with Evan Williams Bottled in Bond either! That’s a good cheap but delicious pour. Benchmark Full proof is a good one as well. Not bad for Eagle rate at $40. 1792 Full Proof is great and I am a big fan of Blue Note as well. Thanks for watching and commenting, @cruiserdawg! Cheers!

    very nice list. I would have switched RR10 with RR SiB and would add Maker's Mark Cask Strength.
    The JTS BiB is available in PA as well as a special order.
    I am a long long long time Eagle Rare fan boy back when it sat on grocery store shelves and selling in the teens. Have 400+ bottles but always have a back up case of Eagle Rare.
    Every 13th Colony bottle is worth buying in my experience and also always have Clyde May's 6 year Reserve and Still Austin CS and Musician, Michter's Rye & Joseph Magnus as well as the Redbreast lineup

    • @whiskey_weather
      @whiskey_weather  9 місяців тому +1

      That Still Austin Cask strength is great. The Rye is so good and I agree on the 13th colony!
      The good ol’ days of Eagle Rare!
      Agree on the RR SiB, but those prices seemingly have jumped $20-30 in the last 2-3 years. I remember my first one was like $60 and now I can’t find any for under $85. Cheers Pizza Warlord! Thanks for watching. Love your list as well. 🥃🥃

    I wonder, if I drop a oak spiral into my Eagle Rare for a few months, will it taste like Stagg or EH Taylor?? The same mashbill means age is what makes the difference,maybe?

    • @whiskey_weather
      @whiskey_weather  9 місяців тому

      Age, placement in the Rickhouse, and proof.
      Eagle Rare = 90 proof
      EH Taylor = 100 proof
      Stagg = 130+ proof

    • @jonathansantana6239
      @jonathansantana6239 9 місяців тому +1

      @@whiskey_weather does age increase proof unless you proof it down?

    • @whiskey_weather
      @whiskey_weather  9 місяців тому

      Not necessarily, it all depends on where I’m the Rickhouse the barrel is and what the weather is like. Proof increases due to the evaporation of the water out of the barrel while the alcohol stays in. Certain types of weather and Rickhouse positioning will determine that. When a whiskey is 90-100 proof that means that distilled water has been added by the distiller to get the liquid to a certain proof point. In this case, all bottles of Eagle Rare are 90 proof because the people at Buffalo Trace when they batch the bourbon (take a bunch of barrels and combine them) then they add the water to get it to 45% ABV/90 proof.
