Don't sleep on that Tincup 10 year it is excellent.
Hey TJ, Addison from J’s here. Thanks for stopping by- wish I had had a bit more time with you, would have loved to show you a couple more bottles. Cheers, and thanks for stopping in!
Man, 4 EH Taylors just casually sitting at msrp. Must be nice 😭
Just paid 110.00 for one😅
@americanmonster8342 I live in Seattle, literally the worst state to bourbon hunt. Cheapest I've seen is 149.99 before our ridiculous state tax 😭
@@freighter1097which part of IL? I can’t find it anywhere in the NW of IL
Never in Indiana
@@Spencer_SheaSpokane is rough too. I’ve found a few places where I can get MSRP but shipments to start the year have basically been nonexistent. And yes, we need to vote to get rid of the garbage since tax.
Bubba is rocking a killer mullett.
Absolutely! That is a majestic Kentucky waterfall he’s got.
Majestic is an understatement
Bubba needs a Ford Ranchero to complete the look.
And a white tank top
Can’t believe I just watched an “expand your liqour cabinet” video and Old Forester wasn’t mentioned one time. Justice for old forester gang
Right!?? I was shouting the whole time! 1920! 1910! Bottled in Bond! Statesman!
My current favorite company
Going bourbon hunting with Kenny Powers. Legendary!!
It was good seeing you and the gang there! Thanks for letting me get a pic with you, Jill, and Will!
Our pleasure!
Those kids missed out on that 1792 BiB store pick. That stuff is absolutely fantastic
I'll check it out.
Spent a couple days in Athens and lucked upon J’s. Had a great time with Addison, great personality and could tell he really loved talking about Bourbon. Super knowledgeable but not pushy, just helpful and I don’t regret any of the bottles I walked out with.
Hey, that’s me! My name is Addison, though. Cheers, and I’m so glad you enjoyed J’s and the bottles I recommended. Come back again soon!
@@lulzIridetheshortbus sorry I misheard in the video. Fixed it. Will definitely swing by when back in town!
Tincup 10 is fantastic for 40 bucks I’d take it all day over those Weller SRs
I agree wholeheartedly
Totally agree.
😵👎😉
TinCup 10 year, the one he grabbed in the video is a great introduction to what a whiskey can be. Easy drinking and worth the asking price. This coming from someone that does not enjoy the regular TinCup by the way. The 10 year is a bottle I always try to keep around.😎🥃
I love all your videos but the bourbon hunts are far and away the best thank you TJ
The barrel selections have been fun.
I love all the bourbon hunting videos… let’s get more of them ❤
The EH Taylor “casually” sitting on the shelf hurt man
Bottom shelf at that!
Its a bottle. How else would it be sitting there besides casually?
Not a GA fan but those boys were cool. Great video Brewzle!!
super cool guys!
This is just awesome! I love showing and discussing bourbon with new sippers. I also LOVE them DAWGS!!! Perfect Saturday evening video for myself.
Filibuster got caught and fined $700,000 for dumping over 40,000 gallons of industrial waste into a creek next to their distillery in 2021. I'm not a tree hugger, but that's no bueno in my book and therefore I choose not to buy their products.
Yeah that is very much no bueno and a no go for me, and I’m about as much of a tree hugger as it gets. They’re joining Makers on my no go list. (And Makers is only on my no go list because their normal distributed-everywhere “bourbon” is more jet fuel than actual bourbon IMHO.)
I can get behind this
@@BJWanlund What's wrong with Makers exactly? I haven't bought it in a while and it was one of my first straight, tasted like salty gasoline. heh
@@fusion210 basically just what you said: it tastes more like rubbing alcohol than bourbon!
Hey man thanks for that info, will make sure to avoid them
Great content as usual, glad to see all the stores were welcoming.
First off, go dawgs. Happy you had a good time in Athens. Great bourbon hunting in the area. Tall Boy on south milledge has some of the craziest allocated stuff in the area, but the markup is insane.
Tin Cup 10 or 14 year is pretty good if you see them in the wild 😊
Bowman Brothers Small Batch is absolutely wonderful! It's one of my daily sippers and you can't beat the price.
Wouldn't call it sharpie but there's an off tannin flavor I've found in Elijah Craig barrel picks, I mostly get small batch.
These 2 guys asked good questions that brought out some good information for a newer bourbon guy. Hope their football carriers take off!
Tin Cup 10 is excellent!
He is ROCKIN' the 80's mullet!! GO Gators!!!
That Filibuster is great! Visited the distillery in the blue ridge mountains in Virginia recently and got to try it. Really good stuff and highly recommended!
The Single barrel Rye sitting at 132.9 proof is a spectacular bottle. Has an apple pallet with a vanilla honey finish.
I also noticed in this video almost every store had smoke wagon products that got overlooked. The uncut unfiltered is one of my absolute favorites
Totally agree on the Elija Craig 'off' note.
Kings family distillery light whiskey is the one!!!!!!! should’ve grabbed it
Good on ya Brewzle, taking those College boys out teaching them the Bourbon knowledge. Big thumbs up.
Love all the tincup stuff. The 14 year for $66 is insane for a 14 year whiskey
Old Bardstown 101 became one of my personal favorites lately. Willett does have good product outside of the Potstill Reserve, Rowan’s creek and Noah’s Mill.
That Woodford Double Oak store pick is great! I really like Turtle Creek, they have a good selection.
Appreciate the visit to Athens! Some damn good Dawgs with ya!
The Kings Family Distillery cast strength is WAY underrated. Worth a try
Just sampled that Pure Kentucky while at the Willett distillery this past week. Great stuff…especially for the price!
I saw some yams
Better late than never been dealing with family issues this week but finally got to watch the video another great one.
Brewzle is in fact THE Bourbon Master!
Man, I’m kinda new to bourbon but I haven’t ran up on a deal like y’all just did with the EH Taylor. That’s awesome!
Anything from kings family distillery is really great. Just got a 17 year 147.7 proof bourbon that is my fav
Holy hazmat ⚠
I could listen to you chirp at those boys about Auburn all day! Great video man
Also watching you get recognized and not the ball players made me laugh out loud
Man missed out you being in Athens! My Alma mater and favorite town next to my hometown. Glad found some good finds
Moonrise up in north GA has a fantastic snow cream if you get a chance. Miles above Bailey's. Their bourbon is pretty decent.
Great episode. Love it. Come to CT, TJ. Be well brother.
I have that Larceny barrel proof a124. It’s spice forward, and the finish is wonderful and long lasting. It’s a really good pour in my opinion. I would love an EH Taylor though.
Finding EH Taylor at or near MSRP is always a must grab. Everybody got a bottle 😂. Love your content!
No kidding. I'd buy EVERY bottle!
Brewzle, can't thank you enough for spurring the "hunting" phase of my bourbon hobby. Here on Long Island, NY it can be very hit or miss. The unicorns and allocation stuff seem to be more readily available but the pricing fluctuates from place to place. Got EHT & Eagle Rare for slightly above MSRP from a place around me so I consider it a win, especially since they were both the last bottles in stock at this place for that price. Felt great! A nice rush. It's an expensive hobby but an enjoyable one lol.
That mullet. Absolutely tremendous. Business in the front. Party in the back.
Definitely try the Tincup 10 yr. Great value everyday drinker.
I've been curious about the Kings Wheated. Hope to see you try it in a future video!
They had a great selection of kings bourbon line at turtle creek
At 36 minutes he mentions no other wilderness trail sourced barrels at full proof however Luca Mariano has done quite a few wilderness trail sourced barrels at cask strength. Ive happened to get a handful of them around 61.9% and 7 years 7 months old.
EHT on the shelf…so good! 👍
31th colony is a great pour for sure. I just bought a rye cast strength 130. proof Dist, only and its great
That 110 proof Clyde Mays absolutely shocked me how good it was. Highly recommend!
Also beer barrel bourbon TJ, Gotta give it a shot!
Dang you TJ... exposing all of my hunting spots!! 🤣😂Glad you scored a few bottles.
That mullet is amazing! Hell yeah brother.
My local Total Wine has calumet 15 for $100 and I can’t get enough at that price. Love it
I don't really go for a lot of lower proof bottles but the Tincup 10 year has great flavor for the proof.
That Clyde May red bottle is great!!
Eagle Rare is hard to find in the PNW. Got close, but most liquor stores sell out within minutes.
Tin cup is nice. I couldn't tell you any notes cuz i had it when i was first getting into whiskey but it was good enough for me to drink neat back then
Love the Tin Cup. Discovered it maybe 2 years ago and currently have 4 in the house. Well 3. Finished one. Where I am I only have access to the blue label bottle but sooo good for a cheaper pour. Straight or mixed. Great everyday
Finally, you picked up a hill rock (NY). Look forward to hearing the thoughts on it
Definitely should have grabbed that Kings light whiskey at J’s. I have a 15 year hazy mat and it is delicious!
I can't speak on the specific bottles you were showing, but if you EVER find wilderness trail rye single barrel barrel strength over 110 proof, give it a try. It was bottled under the barrel master that later left to dark arts. The 105-110s are after he left. I'm young into this culture, but that is the first (only) bottle that I first characterized as delicious. So delicious I have given rye much more attention.
Wish I could get those 1792 bib in Rockford IL. I seen that they had alot of them at the west side bottle shop
I bought a bottle of 4 roses single barrel because of you and absolutely love it
Turtle Creek is right by my mom's house. Love stopping in there every time I make the trip from Opelika!
I can't watch one of these videos without going shopping afterwards. Wife is telling me to lay off of buying any more bottles but she is going out of town this weekend and Im sure I can hide one or two in the mix.
Cazcanes, Padre Azul, Don Fulano, Volcan De Mi Tierra and Mijenta bottles at the ABC store are great tequila choices 😬
As a winemaker like with whiskey people get mad at our prices but they have to realize that we have a fixed cost of production to acquire the grapes, pay off all the ingredients needed, yeast and etc and pay for barrels or oak adjuncts and then when we go to sell the wine we have to pay the feds Taxes at that point. Which means that our prices are quite literally what we have to get to make a profit and people come in to the winery and try and negotiate and im like you cant negotiate if you dont like the price then dont buy it we are making in some cases $5-6 a bottle the margins can be razor thin and we have to pay every state we sell the wines in for a license to sell in that state and that adds a lot of upfront yearly costs its like $40-60k for just licensing fees.
No one is complaining about market rate prices. It's when you see bottles that are clearly marked up which gets people angry. Ex: Stagg Jr is literally $36 bottle cost but a store near me has it for $300.
Tin cup 14 is great for a 90 proffer. Tons of flavor
21:19 so what im hearing is dont give up on Pinehurst 😂
For Distillery Takeover, Middle West Spirits and Watershed Distillery, both 5 mins from each other and off of Short North District in Columbus, OH
The Tin Cup 10 yr is amazing. You need to try it ASAP!!
I think Tin Cup is great, one of the first ryes that I really liked but it's essentially just MGP rye.
Kings county started with small barrels. So their older stock is small barrels. But for years now they’ve been using full size barrels
Hopefully when you make it up to Delaware or Jersey I can show you some store picks and distillers from up here. I got some you'd love!
wow EHT on shelf for msrp. such a great find.
The Clyde May's 6 year Reserve is fantastic.
Caribou Crossing has a great mouthfeel and initial taste with instant finish. A very mellow enjoyable sipper when I am in the mood. I only go through 1 or 2 bottles of it a year normally occasionally 3.
Picked up a Knob Creek 18 for $145 this past weekend. Also got a JMCB for $185 and a backup Jameson 18 for $110.
If I am paying $300 or more it is for Irish or Scotch, I have not had a bourbon or rye I would pay that for a bottle. I loved Boss Hog but would not pay $250 for it never mind $500 or $600.
I drink and share all my bottles
I have 2 store picks for Kings wheated coming soon. Excited to try them.
Missing out on the Moon Rise stuff! Some of my favorites
If you come across the Cooper & Cask small batch series 001, BUY IT, 8 year Aged in Florida
Distillery takeover at sagamore! You should come to the Baltimore/Maryland area, lots of great stores
Those Old Soul Tintype Series bottles are pretty good too… saw a couple in J’s I think
They are AMAZING! Not biased at all, by the way 😂. Sincerely, Tintype Series 1 was the best bottle I had in 23
Was just in Turtle Creek store yesterday, surprised yall didnt sample any of the store picks. Great store, pretty good prices on most stuff.
GREAT HUNT , I WISH WE HAD THOSE STORES HERE IN ALABAMA
I have had the tin cup. For a blended whiskey it is pretty easy to sip.
grabbed a bottle of 6yr Clyde May Special Reserve I have tastes like Raisin Bran Crunch, but in the best way possible. Great mouth feel. Will definitely buy another
I loved the Remus highest rye bourbon. The tin cup 10 year bourbon was a nice surprise. It was so much better than I tbought.
I loved my Frey ranch Rye waiting on a new batch to show up in AZ. i have batch 9
Nice Stores in Georgia , I would pass out if I could walk in a store here in South Louisana and Find Eagle Rare and EH Taylor just sitting on the shelf , maybe one day .... Thanks
I have a bottle of Lusty Claw mentioned and my friends describe it as "Sugar water."
Tin Cup Fourteener Bourbon is pretty good if you can scoop one up!
I wish you could come to my hometown we are getting Allocated products tomorrow, eagle rare $42.00, Blantons $62, EH Taylor $74…and the list goes on!
Favorite comment “How Fast are you Fellas” Love all of your Video’s @Brewzle as ALWAYS!!!!!
Legend!
The Pinhook, it was being aged at Castle and Key, but I don't know if it still is. I have never tried it, I like to stay to Bourbons that are at least ditilled and aged by they the distillery who's name is on the lable. If not, its like buying off somone who is just a broker.
Tate and Chad! Dawg nation will miss Chad! Best video yet and GO DAWGS!
