I realize that not everybody here has an "everyday", but I'm curious to know what you consider your old reliable. Your, it's the right price, the right taste, the I can drink it anytime, anywhere. My regular pour is:

Virginia Gentleman 90

About $16 a bottle, great just about any way I decide to have it. To me a very versatile pour. Gotta like the "fox'.

Doing extensive Buffalo Trace work here. ETL, RHF and Blanton's. When I venture outside for something a bit different...Lot B for a change of pace.

My regular pours are all around the 18 - 20 GB pound mark. I go back and forth between WT101, Maker's, BT 90 proof and Bulleit (the Bulleit due to a very special offer low price and availability.)

If ETL and VW 10YO 107 were cheaper then I would consume alot more of them for sure!

I rotate Weller's Antique 107, Buffalo Trace,OGD 114 with my "special" pours, like the Van Winkle products, Blanton's etc.

Hmm, I´ve never had any regular pours. The concept is somewhat alien to me. I thought it only occured in TV shows like Dallas. :grin:

Well I don’t have any everyday pour either partly because I am from Sweden I guess. But the one that I always have open and consider my favourite in the taste per buck division is WT 101. Sorry to say I have not tried the newer no age version. Anyone now when that one did replace the older 8 y version?

Gotta go with Makers' or JB black label 8yr old. That Beam is something else! I also like Old Whisky River.

I usually prefer Jim Beam Black. But when I want to mix sth. (other than ice) with my bourbon, I use Early Times bourbon which is cheaper.

Up till a few months ago, I drank 101 75% of the time. Now its down to 25%, and I just have different drinks everynight.

If it werent for the $$$, I'd probably drink a lot more Bakers, Lot B, BMH.

I see OGD 114 mentioned alot in threads and here. Fortunately it's one that is readily available here. I'm thinking I need to pick up a bottle and give it a spin.

if you like ryes, then you'll enjoy OGD 114. Its a great price for around $22.

Some of my "everyday" favorites (readily available, cheap-to-reasonable, not just bourbon):

  • Buffalo Trace
  • WT101
  • WT Rye
  • Weller 12 or Antique
  • Old Fitzgerald BIB
  • Rittenhouse Rye BIB
  • OGD 114
  • Dickel #12
  • Aberlour 10yo
  • Eagle Rare 10 (90 proof; the 101 is a special pour)
  • Elmer T. Lee

I don't have all of them in my stock at any one time, though...

Wild Turkey 101, for me. I try as many different bourbons as I can get my hands on, but I always go back to WT101.

It's a toss up between Wild Turkey 101 and Fightting Cock 103 for me. While it wasn't the first one I tried (Second actually, Makers Mark was the first.) I've probably bought more WT101 than any other bourbon so far.

For the longest time my regular was Wild Turkey: Russells Reserve (101) but then they stopped making it. :( That was damn good bourbon! I've been meaning to try it's replacement but my disapointment always puts me off.

I usually keep about a dozen bottles open at home. I try keep a mixture of different distilleries and some rye vs. wheaters. So, I not for sure I have an everyday pour, but one bottle that is always in the mix is Elmer T Lee.

If I go out, it is WT101. Pretty much carried at every bar around here and always damn good bourbon.

Kentucky Spirit for me. Just love that stuff. But the way my 101 barrel is coming along, it make become THE pour, for me.

I saw a bottle of kentucky spirit in one of my less traveled in stores yesterday, it was about $48 if I recall correctly. Does that sound about right?

It's not uncommon. I get it here for about $10 less (which I like!) but I've heard $50ish many times....
