Alright Bourbon Judge, from the start of this video, I thought you would certainly leave off O.F. 1910, but you came through in the clutch! 🤣 I agree with the RR Single Barrel coming off a little hot, which is why I would replace it with Russels 10yr, as a starter. It delivers a lot more than it's 90 proof would suggest. This was my gateway, and is always a staple of mine.

Excellent list. I have most in my collection, and alternate expressions of those I do not have. (Strongly recommend Maker's 101, other Wild Turkey expressions including 101 and Rare Breed, any of the other Old Forester Whiskey Row expressions, and any other 1792 expressions.) Trying to guess what was coming up next as I watched the video, I realized that a list of 10 is probably too small. Other great options for starting a good bourbon collection include Eagle Rare, Bulleitt (10 year or Blender's Select), Evan Williams Single Barrel, Woodinville, and Angel's Envy. If you move slightly away from strictly bourbon, Jack Daniel's Single Barrel, Redwood Empire Lost Monarch, Michter's American or Sour Mash and George Dickel Bottled in Bond are good options. You could also have a separate list of ryes to build a collection on.

Hi Judge. I restarted my bourbon journey in December 2022. I am going back through older episodes and ran across this one. Great choices. You mentioned that 1792 BIB is easy to find. I have never seen it on shelf, except for secondary prices. The 1792 Small Batch is easy to find. Instead of Pikesville, my first rye was Old Forester 100 proof rye. Other great beginner bourbons, if you can find them, are Evan Williams 1783, Buffalo Trace and Early Times BIB.

Buffalo is a wonderful entry but definitely hard to find here in SC. I work at a shop part time so I always have a BT on me and I always end up going back to it. It's sweet, low proof, and priced wonderfully. I also enjoy a WT 101 and after almost getting through a four roses single barrel I would have to say the two are extremely comparable. Haven't tried the woodinville or larceny yet but we do sell a bit of larceny. The woodinville honestly doesn't ever move.

Great list, but in my opinion Rye's are terrible... all Bourbon here my friend!
@billb410 2 жыл бұрын
That's cool. Everyone that's into Bourbon needs to try a Rye just to see. Personally I like Rye just as well as Bourbon. Depends on the mood. My go to Rye is either Rittenhouse Rye for mixing or Wild Turkey Rare Breed Rye straight up.

Understood Buddha. This is a great crossover Rye though.

Tre Gotti here Bourbon Judge. I had my finger on the unsubscribe button had you not said anything from Old Forester! Having said that, I feel like if I was new to bourbon, I'd swear all good bourbon only comes out of Kentucky! How about a list of non Kentucky bourbons. Cmon Judge , it's the 4th quarter, 2 minutes on the clock with no timeouts. Make it happen!

I agree that rye needs to be in every collection.. But does a rye belong on a bourbon list?
