As much as I appreciate Sean's approach, I gotta go #TeamDan here. Rare Breed + ECTB + ER + OFR + BT seals the victory. Those are 5 great bottles that I'm happy to drink at any time.

Im giving it to Dan simply for the one liners lol "We have become an alcoholic in the middle of this collection" "Was it free?" "You should have got a Black Velvet pint. That would have really topped her off" 🤣

Gotta go with Dan on this one. Both really good hauls but the Rare Breed, Eagle Rare, and Old Forester rye completely did it for me. 3 of my favorites. I haven’t tried EC toasted yet, $90 where I live.

You both did a hell of a job!! I have to say that Dan’s collection looks more legit with the (mostly) full size bottles, but I feel like Sean put together an assortment of bottles that would give a newbie lots of things to try and find what appeals to them. And for that reason alone, I’m #teamsean

For anyone living in Virginia (ABC state), pretty much everything desirable is "allocated" and only released in randomly announced drops - for $200 I recommend (all are available): Very Old Barton 100 $13.99, Baby Saz $29.99, Russell's Reserve 10yr $39.99, Four Roses Single Barrel $44.99, Maker's Mark 101 $39.99, Old Grandad 114 $29.99.

Sean won by a mile with the variety. Without knowing it, he hit on a great way to figure out your likes and dislikes, your palate, and your store(s). This isn’t just about building a collection. This is about testing/exploring multiple whiskeys and figuring out your tastes without breaking your budget, especially these days.

Love the content guys, I have a few suggestions for vids, 1) full proof collection, best 5 bottles between $50-$99 that are 100 proof or more. 2) intro to Rye, I like many of your millennial junker followers have really began to dial in the collection of Bardstown discovery, wellers, rare breed, 1910 stuff and want to explore the “sweeter” side of rye but not sure where to start. Thanks guys .
@jacobh9014 Жыл бұрын
Toasted barrel and rare breed are two of my favorite bourbons currently in my collection so Dan has me there. However, my beginning collection probably looked more like Sean’s with the variety and a mix of pint bottles to explore different flavors.

This looks like so much fun, I’ll have to try it with a couple buddies of mine. I give the nod to Sean, the two Jack shooters was a brilliant move. I think when one is starting out, the more you can try for your money the better! Happy bourbon drinking y’all!

I'd personally go with dan's picks, but the approach sean took is a great idea. I wish when I was starting out I would have gone with 375's. I ended up with quite a few starter bottles that I quickky outgrew and don't know when I'll get around to finishing them.

#teamdan with the W hands down. Toasted barrel is a fun “hard to find” bottle. And then bourbon staples, BT, OF, and OF Rye. I actually thought Sean’s plan was so good (the best way to grow a collection is buy small amounts, find what you like and don’t over commit). I just saw didn’t like the execution😂 Love the videos! I’m in Rochester Hills, we have a few good spots just down the road!

Really love the 1792, early times, and the variety in Sean’s but I’m #team Dan on this one with Rare Breed, EJ toasted (which I’m still hunting), and eagle rare. My favorite video from you guys this year. Do a second video with barrel proofs on a $350 budget.

Pretty cool that you guys did this. Some great finds, especially in the 375s. Both collections had some great choices. Dan with Eagle Rare (although did you really need a 750 of Buffalo Trace in addition?), Elijah Craig toasted, and Rare Breed definitely hit the quality mark. Sean's quantity of good low-budget but tasty selections is fantastic for giving a beginners a great variety of things to try and find what you like. Bang for the Buck goes to Sean I think on this one.

You gentlemen did a fantastic job building strong collections with only $200. I think that Sean's collection is a little more appealing only because he was able to purchase more different items. Purchasing pints was a good strategy. Also, I really like the Early Times and the Sazerac bottles.

Love the video! Should definitely be a series, but fluctuate the budgets a bit. I have to say that the Eagle Rare 375, BT, and Rare Breed were enough to sway me in Dan's direction a bit but I'm not much of a Rye drinker so it makes sense.

Love the OF100 but also love their Rye. Not a huge fan of Eagle Rare but love Rare Breed and not a fan of Elijah Craig. I was split on choices however Sean's selection offers more options for a new whisky drinker. I remember picking up 750ml of WT101 and being disappointed with it and having to slog through the rest of it. Whereas, a smaller bottle works really well when sampling. Choices were all good but Sean had the better idea.

@arnicolini Жыл бұрын
Hmm tough one to choose a winner. I think for someone who has not tried many whiskeys Sean is the better approach, although I think went too heavy on the RYE for starters. Although some like Ryes early on. For someone looking to start with a solid collection then it goes to Dan. Personally I am not a big fan of OF Rye, it just has too many weird flavors for me. Fun video!
