What Your Go-To Pour Says About You: A Bourbon Personality Test You Didn’t Know You Needed

Your favorite bourbon says more about you than just your taste in spirits. From Weller lovers to Blanton’s believers and Wild Turkey die-hards, each bottle reveals a unique personality, lifestyle, and vibe. Whether you prefer smooth sips, bold barrel-proof pours, or rare collector’s bottles, your go-to bourbon is a liquid reflection of who you are. Read on to find out what your bourbon choice says about your style, your palate, and maybe even your life philosophy.

Weller Antique 107: The Smooth Operator

You’ve got taste — and you know it. You like your bourbon like your playlists: classic, with just enough edge to make people wonder what you’re hiding. You were into Weller before it was cool (or at least you say you were), and you still can’t resist telling newcomers how it’s “basically Pappy’s DNA.” You’re chill… until the bottle runs out.

Blanton’s Single Barrel: The Show Pony

You’re not here to blend in — you’re here for the pour and the pedestal it sits on. You’ve got the horse toppers arranged like trophies, and yes, you probably keep one in your home office for “inspiration.” You’re equal parts collector and content creator. You don’t just drink bourbon — you curate it.

Elijah Craig Barrel Proof: The Adrenaline Junkie

You don’t sip; you survive. You like your bourbon the way you like your opinions — strong, unfiltered, and unapologetic. You laugh in the face of proof numbers that start with a 1 and end with fire. Your friends think you’re a little intense. You prefer the word “committed.”

Wild Turkey 101: The Ride-or-Die Traditionalist

You’ve been in the game longer than most people have been pretending to like bourbon. You don’t chase bottles — bottles chase you. You’re about loyalty, simplicity, and the kind of flavor that slaps you in the face and calls you “sir.” When people start bragging about their allocations, you just pour another and smile.

Buffalo Trace: The Everyman

You’re the crowd-pleaser. The dependable one. You’re not trying to impress anyone — but you still do. You keep it real, you keep it stocked, and you somehow manage to make “just Buffalo Trace” sound like an intentional aesthetic. You’re proof that balance isn’t boring.

Pappy Van Winkle 15: The Dreamer (Or the Flexer)

You chase the rare and the legendary. You talk about “tertiary notes of leather and nostalgia” like it’s poetry. That bottle tucked away “for the right moment”? Yeah, it’s still waiting. You’re either a hopeless romantic or a savvy collector — or maybe a little bit of both.

Woodford Reserve Double Oaked: The Overthinker

You’re the person who reads tasting notes before tasting. You smell before you sip. You swirl before you pour. You have thoughts — deep ones — about oak influence and char levels. But you also bring dessert, and everyone secretly loves you for it.

Old Forester 1920: The Rebel with Refinement

You’ve got range. You know history, but you’re not stuck in it. You appreciate a bourbon that punches like it’s got something to prove, and so do you. You probably wear leather boots unironically and give great toast speeches. You’re chaos, but make it charming.

Angel’s Envy 10-Year Cask Strength: The Bold Innovator

You break the rules in style. Port-finished, cask-strength, uncut — this bourbon mirrors your adventurous spirit. You embrace complexity, push boundaries, and make every sip feel intentional. Ordinary isn’t in your vocabulary.

Michter’s 10-Year Bourbon: The Timeless Classicist

You honor tradition with a modern twist. Deep, rich, and thoughtfully crafted, this bourbon reflects your appreciation for craftsmanship. Every pour is a nod to history — and proof that some classics never go out of style.

Your bourbon says more about you than your Spotify Wrapped ever could. Whether you’re a barrel-proof badass or a Blanton’s believer, the real point is this — you get it. You’re part of a tribe that worships the barrel, respects the burn, and believes that sometimes, the bottle chooses you.
