These are 10 phenomenal bourbons that you can find virtually everywhere! This is a great list for beginners to drink through before starting to hunt for allocated bottles. All are fairly priced and delicious, in my opinion.

Knob Creek 9yr single barrel and Wild Turkey Rare Breed are tough to beat for the money. We live in Oregon which is also a liquor control state, so we know the frustration of being limited to what the State brings in and the price they set. Great content! Just subscribed. We started our channel in January and trying to show support to other up and coming channels.

Just subbed enjoying your stuff, newer to bourbon. In Alabama so also ABC state and can't find anything I want. 😂

Appreciate the support! I feel you man, ABC makes it tough, although I think Alabama ABC is more competent than VA. The people here can’t even run a lottery. Hope you find some good stuff!

Great list! I have all except Jack Daniels SBBP and Calumet 16. Cannot find the JD in my area. I tried New Riff single barrel and really like it. I would probably replace the Makers Mark with the New Riff.

I like a lot of New Riff products, too, although they don't have distribution in VA yet. I can find them in Maryland or online, some good bottles though! Thanks for watching!

I have everything except the Calumet so I guess I agree. lol

@averagejoeswhiskey 4 ай бұрын

Nice! If you like the rest, give the Calumet a shot. I think Total Wine has the best price on it if you have one nearby. Thanks for watching!

I agree with most of your picks however I disagree with you about the calumet 16 now I can say I have not had the 16 but I did drink the 15 and it was just ok drank like a 50 bottle luckily I was gifted the bottle so I didn't have buyers remorse they run 128 in Ohio but I wouldn't buy another at that price. Nice list with the other bottles.

@averagejoeswhiskey 5 ай бұрын

Personally I think the calumet 16 is surprisingly better than the 15. If you get a chance to try it at a bar or something, I’d give it a shot. If you like it, Total Wine seems to have the best prices on the Calumets in general. It’s still a high price tag but it’s the only 15+ year bourbon I regularly see on the shelf, and I absolutely love it.

Blue note and Redwood empire pipe dream is also very good

@averagejoeswhiskey 5 ай бұрын

Those are great bottles too! No blue notes in my area though unfortunately, have to order online.

@sfcsinalot8739 4 ай бұрын

If you like pipe dream you might also enjoy High West Bourbon or Ammunition Bourbon, it’s finished it Cabernet Sauvignon barrels if you’re into that

Makers 46 is not a bourbon, Jack Daniels is not a bourbon

@averagejoeswhiskey 4 ай бұрын

Technically Tennessee Whiskey meets all the criteria for bourbon. And technically you’re right about the Makers 46, but “top 10 bourbons and whiskey specialty products” didn’t have the same ring to it. Thanks for watching!

@@averagejoeswhiskey Ugh now your even more confusing. Jack decided to call it Tennessee Whiskey way back in the day because of the Maple Charcoal filtering which bourbon does not do. And then it became ok under Class 141 to be bourbon "adjacent" as Bourbon Whiskey (which means kinda like bourbon but not Bourbon) A real Bourbon will be Class 101 Straight NOT Adulterated with flavor and colors and touches no other wood . Jack Daniels gets a social pass because they are pulling stuff out and not putting crap in, but it will never be a 101. Personally I would like to see a Jack 10 Year Class 101 So in your video titled "Best 10 Available Bourbons" you showed new folks to whiskey; Class 101, Class 141, and DSS Class 641 (Makers 46).......you did not show me 10 bourbons, you showed me a mixed bag of 10 whiskeys, a couple of which are bourbons.

@averagejoeswhiskey 4 ай бұрын

I don't think most people are concerned about the classification of their favorite bottles. I consider Tennessee whiskey to be bourbon because they're made the exact same way, with an extra step of charcoal filtration (that some bourbon makers also use). But thank you for the classification lesson, it was very well thought out. I'll try and be more clear in the future!

@killerfungis 4 ай бұрын

@@averagejoeswhiskey Hahaha, the class is the legal designation, if it's not 101 it's not bourbon. It could be 141 class but that can be colored and flavored and they dont have to tell. YOU don't get to decide what's bourbon, or WHAT YOU get to pass off as bourbon to that unsuspecting " most people " You hustling the consumer Joe?

@averagejoeswhiskey 4 ай бұрын

@killerfungis Chris Fletcher says it's bourbon, and he makes it. But they choose to call it Tennessee Whiskey to be different. I'm not smart enough to hustle you brother
