Just became a new subscriber, new to bourbon, and also picked up your variety pack bourbon glasses. Love your content! I live about 5 miles from the Spillway Wine and Spirits in Brandon, Ms. They put me on to some nice bourbons. Loved that video.
Big fan , I’m curious if you have ever had taconic distillery single malt whisky , made in ny!
Recent subscriber and relatively new in the bourbon/whiskey world of wonders that it is. I really enjoy this channel. Good dry humor, speaking truthfully instead of buttering up all the time, and a very nice timber in the voice. There is a canyon of knowledge difference between me and TJ but I’m working on it. Between my brother, father and myself we are always doing some sampling and blinds from bottles we buy. It’s a lot of fun and cheaper than therapy.
That looks like a good time. Everyone was so friendly and passionate about bourbon!
Super cool visit, thanks!
Not only do you make the best videos, but you bring out the best in the distillers and the people around you. I really enjoyed this video.
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the video!!
I know y’all love looking for local bourbons and especially farm to table stuff done by small distillers. You should definitely check out Wood Hat bourbon in Florence, MO. They do some really cool bottles and grow, distill, and bottle themselves. Spreading some love for the home state, love that y’all are doing the pick with Ben Holiday too!
When my wife and I toured the Distillery in May of 2022, Brian told us that the mold for their bottles was purchased from old forester and was their old birthday bourbon bottle.
Mold?
@@abrahmmclaughlin3658 the shape of the bottle...
@@abrahmmclaughlin3658 I am assuming that he means the shape of the glass. But that is just a guess.
@@abrahmmclaughlin3658I am referring to the unique shape of their bottles. They get a company in China to make their bottles and thirteenth colonies bought the mold from old forester.
What I loved about your vids and I guess others do to us that I’m learning so much about the culture of Bourbon and whiskey, being that, I always just drink it to get drunk my whole life
I so want to do a barrel pick with you. Great stuff.
Lazy Magnolia Brewing out of Mississippi did a nice sweet potato cream stout many years ago and it was really interestingly delicious.
Man, that looks like so much fun!
They're definitely not distilling that whiskey
I've been hunting for one of those 13th Colony Double Oaked for months. I've just missed getting a bottle twice. I'm in one more raffle that hasn't picked yet and hoping my number comes up. Depending on if I'm picked early enough it'll be between the 13th Colony and Maker's Cellar Aged for me to choose from if both are left. And that'll be a touch choice.
Joined your patreon for this, epic video from an amazing distillery, keep this up!
It's a real unique bottle too.
looking forward to getting down there asap!
That looks like so much fun to do. I wish there were bourbon distilleries near me 😢
Definitely going to have to find a double oak but probably be stuck waiting till next spring.
Wow! I love 13th Colony! Need to make the trip down from Atlanta to visit them sometime.
Such a fun video to watch
Your shows are sooo entertaining 😊☺️
Not just French Oak, but STAVES! 🤯
Always entertaining. Thank you. Sweet Potato, count me in.
I’m so lucky to have this distillery right down the road from me! What great liquor they are making. Wait until you taste their aged gin coming out spring next year as well.
Same here! I've switched to their rye for my daily drinker. And that aged gin is amazing. I'm not a big gin person, but I'll be buying a few bottles of it when it comes out.
Watching all the different people at the distilleries makes me want to to support these different distilleries!
They are doing shady things to the whiskey.
? can you explain? i just bought a bottle last night@@numanuma20
@@numanuma20how so?
Awesome! I live in Americus
Funny thing about the Sweet Potato whiskey is that I thought about how cool it would be to do a sweet potato whisky just last week.
You should try and develop a palate for scotch. Some of the best whisky tasting in the world is had with good scotch whisky. I love bourbon also, so it can be done !!
Awesome video
Just wanted to send you a HUGE thanks for always including subtitles ✨😅
We are working on getting the audio better on these as well so we can properly hear folks that are a bit further away.
Come to Massachusetts to hunt! Would love to go with you!
I’d love to see a review on Howler head banana bourbon
I'm damn near certain I've never had a bourbon but this channel puts out such incredible content that Im totally hooked and even though I dont think I could ever tell any of these notes appart if I tired anything watching the passion is so motivating.
That may be a neat video idea "complete Bourbon rookie gets crash course from Brewzle" with someone you know to show them around your stash
I'm almost 15 years into my bourbon adventure and still not that great about picking out notes, but they key is to just continuously try new bourbons, most especially side by side with one another, and just simply think about the difference in taste that YOU are tasting. Taste is 100% completely, absolutely, subjective. Every single person's palette/tongue is slightly different or majorly different and everywhere in between. Dive in and start with the cheap big name bourbon brands to start and just have fun with it and share with friends/family for good times.
It's a vodka they make out of sweet potatoes and it's good. I have some in a small barrel now. Hoping it turns out really good. Been in for 3 months now. Want to go a year then try it.
that whiskey sounds so good but that sweet tater one that sounds real interesting i am with the distillers i would not know how to market it i would not even know where to cauterize it with the mash they did you would think it's a volca that is aged and tast like a whiskey baced on what you said
When you get a chance, buy a bottle of Balcones True Blue 100, aged blue corn whiskey from TX. It is good & interesting! 👍🏻🇺🇸
Love the content, when are you coming to the DMV (DC, Maryland, and Virginia)??
I could sit around and listen to you talk for hours
The only bad part about this video is that the price of 13th colony went up 25% at my local liquor store the next week.
You got to try some Evan Williams Spiced Cider with some bottled in bond some pineapple juice with a splash of fever tree ginger beer, it won’t disappoint, more or less equal amounts of each
0 > 22 🙂
Try old overholt bib day3
“Thats all that will go to market”
So im never getting a double oak 😂
I get off work and come straight here
I’m very interested in learning about this brand
Do some digging, it's not what it seems!
Man... that sweet potato whiskey sounds amazing
Try woodford reserve double oak
I’m going to 13 colonies tomorrow any recommendations before I hit it up?
Not sure if you have been to Knoxville but if you do hit up the Jig & Reel
I got about 60% of one of the first batch of DO left I drank the first 2 way to fast.
Maybe being in Americus they can do a special peanut bourbon for Jimmy Carter sometime
where could i get the double oak at
Debating between old elk double wheat masters blend, or old elk sour mash batch 3 I think, any insights?
I do the put in a a barrel, bottle or tank thing with wine and forget about it and ill find stuff and go oh yeah I made that lol. Some of my best wines a a pro winemaker have been accidental
I've been trying to find that portable glen anyone have a link?
I’m jealous, what can I say? If I can’t be there at least I can watch it with a Bourbon in hand🥃🥃. An Elijah Craig small batch as it happens 😂😂😂
Hooked on your channel. But still can’t comprehend the pricing n markups on these bottles
When was this filmed? They talk about Sept/Oct for batch 2 which has come and gone. Love their rye, but haven't managed a double oak.
Same question here - are they talking about next year, or is this video just old?
When is your barrel pick going to be available? We just went to the distillery yesterday...cool place
Penelope Architect = great French oak treatment
There’s a company in my county that fairly new called Soldier of the Sea distillery might be worth checking out. I have tried anything personally but I want to! The are in Comer Ga.
Looks like there doing ok, but no to sad about not getting a chance at this pick. Not convinced it’s worth that msrp
This one ☝️ was really cool :o
please get this to Buffalo ny!!!!
👋🙂👊 TJ & Jill
French Oak Barrels are like $3,000 for a 60 gallon barrel they are pricey and they go much higher depending on who makes them some cooperages are unobtanium wicked expensive.
I tend to buy Hungarian for the winery or american oak cause a american 60 gallon is $1200 a Hungarian is $1500 and its just cheaper a lot cheaper. American Oak works well with Zinfandel though.
Is the use of American oak the flavor profile you want to go for?
American Oak in the case of wine tends to be medium, medium plus or heavy toast, and tends to provide, baking spices, chocolate and vanilla notes to wines and I find that it tends to be quite pleasing when you dont go too heavy handed as it is significantly stronger than french or hungarian oak is and you will over oak some wines if you are not careful. We use a lot of american oak here at the winery with bigger bolder reds, Zinfandel, Merlot, Cab Sav or Cab Franc, Tempranillo and stuff like that @@numanuma20
Not understanding the comment by the lady saying they can't age anything over 13 years cuz it would be dry?? 🤨🤷♂️ Anyone?
How do I get a bottle of this pick?
2 hours until video Already 4 people waiting.
5:50 ole boy in the burgandy shirt had a bad hair day didn’t it 😂
Sadly, they don't distribute up to my state.
Dude at 20:02 is crocked 😊
How do the distill all of their volume on that one small still?!
What bottle/bottles would you recommend to someone who is first starting their collection?
For a good cheaper starter bottle to me would be wild turkey 101. I used to drink that as my favorite but now my go to is wild turkey rare breed which is 116 proof.
Grab the Blue Note Juke Joint uncut, awesome flavors, thick, oily and a great story behind the bottles. $35-40 . WT 101 NOT SO GOOD FOR BEGINERS, WATERED DOWN.
@@killerfungisthanks, I’ll have to check out the blue note. The flavors described go well with my palate
@@killerfungis first bottle I had ever tried was wild turkey 101 and I liked it so that is what I drank. I am not a big fan of there wild turkey 80. I have tried some Jim beam which is ok. I hate jack Daniels. My go to right know is wild turkey rare breed 116. I am not a huge fan of flavored whiskey but I was given some Jim bean apple to try and it was ok.
Woodford Double Oaked, and Woodford Rye. Both super common, both amazing, both some of the best value on the market for the low price, period.
I just signed up for the email list and got the notice yesterday and wasn't sure I was interested. Then I didn't see this until after you sold out and I'm a little disappointed. Next time.
This distillery is less than an hour from my house. Now, I just HAVE to go and visit and hit that tasting room.
And I'll probably walk out with a bottle of everything they'll sell me.
Interesting, did not know 2023 13C DO was on shelves, thought it was online order only
It never touched the shelves. Extremely hard to get
@@priceb713 it went into allocated lotteries when it did come out. Most I've seen any store get was 6 bottles, and that was twice as many as most stores got. If they got any.
@@priceb713 yeah I know, I'm jabbing brewzle for lying about it....he does not like 13C DO, he does not like green river, he does not like C923. He only likes brands when he gets access
Ended up winning one of the 15th anniversary bottles but i cant pick it up as i live in missouri and cant make it work to get down there in march . Any chance you all want to go pick it up?
they have a way to send a representative. Let me know!
Did you say this barrel pick is available now?
Find anything out yet?
make a Virginia video i don’t think i’ve ever seen one.
Have you tried jack daniels 1954 gold medal?
I wish they would have sold you the American King Tater Whiskey.
great video! also your friend next to you needs to just got bald like the rest of us! LOL embrace it my friend
They are trying to sell the Double Oak here in Tennessee at $600 😳
Brewzel, any thoughts on Woodinville if you've tried it?
Hope to see some milk picks soon
“America’s Georgia”…😂😂😂
So we're about 5ish years away from seeing sweet potato bourbon on the shelves? Alright...
Do you think 500 is a good deal on a eagle rare 17
13th Colony DO B2 is the best bourbon I’ve had allllll year. So different. Longest finish ever. I need a back up to my back up
I see why this sold out immediately
Good grief, that double oaked stuff is going for $1000/bottle right now. That's absurd.
They have a gin in that building that will convert any diehard whiskey drinker to a gin sipper!!!
Tone down the music in the back ground ...hard to hear the people when they are ferther away and coming off quite
I am shocked you are completely skipping over the fact that this Distillery doesn't exactly distill anything. The top loaded barrels give a lot away....there are a lot of inquiries going on and it's not looking good as it seems lying by omission is their thing. Why do we never see them actually distilling anything?
You have me interested now. It is funny they show 2 seconds of the still, not that brewzel is in on it but even the guy tries to skip over it “we all know how that works right” move on. The edit literally cuts him off at the end haha
Weird take honestly. They source some whiskey and distill some. They say on their website that they source and distill. Kind of weird you only listened to rumors and didn’t investigate it yourself or go to the distillery personally before putting that kind of accusation on the internet. It would have taken minimal effort to not try and slander a hard working small business.
Where are you getting your information, and what's your point? Their website explicitly says they distill some themselves and source some from a contract distiller using their mash I'll. This is much more common than you know evidently, even some of the really big names do the same or source and then redistill. You could give the same distillate to 10 different people and you'd end up with 10 different whiskeys. It's the aging and the finishing that makes it unique. Or are you claiming they are buying finished product?
The issue is the bottle doesn't say where it's sourced from (state) and they are very cagey with the information they present.
It’s too bad they aren’t distilling their own stuff. Wish they wouldn’t hide behind lies
Amen! Brewzle is either getting played or he is complicit in their deception. Ever seen fill holes in the tops of barrels that will be stored on their sides by the distiller?
Not a distillery
A Brewzle L honestly
Dude can be pretty rude tbh. Kind of getting turned off lately
This dude always is trying too hard to milk everything he can out of everybody. Makes me get secondhand embarrassment.
He's literally asking questions and having polite conversations with people in the business. Be embarrassed quieter please.
I've got an idea for you. The next time you come for a tasting test. Come with Coasters with your branding but have A, B C on them You get your brand out there and it limits any confusion.
