Love seeing tours! Great all around video!
More to come!
This is my favorite distillery. The red wheat is my favorite
I lost it "its been 25 years i dont remember"😂😂😂
The Holladay staff seem like a fun group who really love what they do, and it shows in the whiskey. The rickhouse proof soft red wheat is one of my fav bottles I got. If only it was EASIER TO GET lol
Best Brewzle video I've seen to date....keep these types coming, as much as possible. Behind the scenes adds so much to enjoying the culture of bourbon!!
I don’t drink, but absolutely love your videos - Thanks
we all love Jill 😂 she's becoming a master herself
We’ve just recently started seeing this in Northeast Ohio. I love the soft red wheat. So good.
Me too!
Those grounds look incredible. Looked like a really fun time.
This is such an exciting video. I love Holladay.
So excited for this!! Love this bourbon since it reminds me of home, but I can't get it where I live. Joined the Brewzle Patreon for this pick and I cannot wait!!
What a great distillery, and the soft red wheat is my favorite. I will be making a tour in the future. Thanks TJ
You make great videos. This is one of the best of those greats that I have viewed. Seems like a Great Tour Guide and Great Staff too. Cheers!
Great video! Can’t wait to grab some of these picks.
Ben Holladay is one of my favorite distilleries and I can’t wait for the Brewzle picks
Great vid and I'm a big fan of Holliday...definitely need to get a hold of more of their soft wheat variants!!!
Another great video y’all are killing it.
Love the tours!
Looks like a great time! Thanks for sharing, glad to be a member.
Great video as always TJ and the team
Love the videos! I don’t even drink bourbon but all of these videos are super entertaining.
Keep it up Brewzle; great video as always. Highest proof hollady soft red wheat I had is 122.5 proof hy-vee version A+++
Scored a WFP store pick $99.99 an ER store pick for $49.99, 1792 Full Proof for $65 and two early times BiB for 29.99 ea. at my local honey hole in Chicago today! Thanks for getting me started on my bourbon journey almost a year ago!
Picked up a Rickhouse Proof SRW a few weeks ago, and it's every bit as good as bourbons that fetch twice the price. Just flat out killer stuff.
The Soft Red Wheat Rickhouse Proof is amazing! I have two bottles of it!
Loving these format of videos!
The soft red wheat is my new favorite bottle, need to get a backup soon!
Maaan I liked whiskey before but watching your channel I’ve learned to love it. I’m still learning working my way up to 100 proofs cause they slap me in the chest 😂😂 but I’ll get there eventually
It is one of my daily drinkers!!! The Rickhouse if freaking delicious...
Love the Virtue Spirits hat TJ!
What a cool group of guys running that distillery... fun video to watch
I'm glad you said "wheated funkiness" cause I describe Green River Wheated as FUNKY. I had no idea that was a thing. Thanks.
That was so much fun!
Weston is a great place. I've been there many times, the Irish bar in the cellars is amazing as well. There is a blues music festival in the summer. a very good time.
between this video and the still austin video, y’all have been putting out some great content putting smaller distilleries on display
It’s not a Friday without Brewzle
Tried it and love it. I have two of bottles on my shelf.
I lived in KC for a while many years back. Visited Weston a couple of times and never knew about the distillery there. Wish I had know about it back then.
Its McCormick's....lol
That would be awesome Jill gets her name on them bottles.
She's awesome!
That's one spirit that you picked, Brewzle.
That looked fun. Love it.
First, been waiting to pick up a Rickhouse proof cause it’s a bit pricey for me at this moment but maybe seeing the distiller with Brewz will change my mind 😅
I was just there last weekend. Left with a case of a little of everything. Would go back!
I will say one of these days I have a goal of tasting whiskey with you guys.
Enjoyed this barrel pick,must say Ms Jill has the best palate
I agree
Being a Missourian I'm pretty excited that we have Ben Holladay as a killer local brand. They did the one thing most small brands fail to do - they waited until they had a good product to put on shelf. Coming out of the gate with a 6 year BIB is just insanity in the current bourbon market and normally you only see 6+ year BIB products from legacy distilleries. The 7 year BIB's are all over Missouri now and I would say they are very comparable, if not better, than Heaven Hill BIB. HH 7yr BIB is $50-55 and Holladay 7 yr BIB is $50-55.
But you would be sorely mistaken to believe we only have Ben Holladay in Missouri. There is a smaller brand called Planter's that is absolutely killing it. They are relatively unknown and they have even OLDER whiskey in their single barrels. I have a 17 and a 18 year old single barrel pick from Planter's and they blow ECBP out of the water. These picks are literally on par with Eagle Rare 17 IMO. They were also $75 each.
Barrel King is well known in the CZcams circles because of ADHD Whiskey being hired as their master blender. They source all their whiskey but they are doing interesting things with their finishing.
There might be a couple other small distilleries on the rise in Missouri but their stuff is all still young. Won't be long and Missouri will be considered a top 5 state for whiskey though.
That soft red wheat is delicious.
Omaha! We've been working on planning a trip down for the past few months, but haven't had an open weekend yet. Now I need to make it happen. Regardless, everything they make is fantastic!
You are loud but REALLY loud when you're drunk. I love these tastings!! Glad y'all had fun
This was amazing! As an American in Taiwan I wonder how to access these barrel picks internationally
Finally found me a bottle of blantons and at retail. Had to buy it
I'm watching all this guy's videos. But I don't drink bourbon. I don't really have it on my radar even. But I do have the same interest he has, just toward other things. There's some appeal seeing someone pursue something so well, even if it's not the thing I would pursue. What he's doing just looks fun.
Awesome video! Keep up the good work! You need to replace that hat with an EverNorth hat 😉.
When do you anticipate this being dropped please? Ben Holladay Soft Red Wheat & Rickhouse Proof (standard releases) are awesome!
Dream visit to a producer of the nectar of the gods. I want to go there too! Greetings from Norway
I need to do a barrel pick with you, haha.
I wanna try the constentinos Ben Holladay. It's 121 proof at $79 . Little steep for me when trace is $30 and I'm just making cocktails with it
BH RW is FANTASTIC.
I live in the control state of Ohio. I opened my Ben Holiday bottle in bond last week. Maybe I'm being picky, I found it odd there was no cork just a screw top.
Just bought my first bottle of Ben Holladay. Haven't tried it yet.
I hope you see this but I was at Starbucks and they had the Kentucky coffee mug just wondering if Jill ever got it if not I'll be more than happy to get it and send it which I know some people like collecting on which I know some people like collecting themselves
That’s what I am looking on a wheater, the oakiness. The more of that the better for me.
From what I have had from BH. I like the regular SRW better than the bourbon. On the RHP’s I like the bourbon better. Could just be bottles I have.
Good to see Omaha in the group, one day ill be filling that role
TJ is a hoot
I know you aren’t a huge fan of scotch but would you try and give Royal Brackla 21 a try? As a whiskey drinker I’m curious what you would think of a single malt scotch whisky finished in a sherry cask!
We love you Jill😅she knows her stuff
LMAO whoever cut the distillery tour video going from the 1849 founder to the sudden early 2000s garage metal music needs to be canned. That's like something I would have done when making a video in 2002.
Missouri loves company
How are we able to grab one of those barrel picks
Jill is in charge. Smart man.
alright, ill have to go pick one up
You won't be disappointed
I just got my first eagle rare 10 year, the other day! Wife just messaged me she is working in WV picked me up my first bottle of Buffalo trace!!! (Yes I know eagle rare is Buffalo trace lol)
Hey @Brewzle Did I get a good steal on these allocation bottles? I got two bottles of Eagle Rare at $39.99 each, Stagg Jr 23B for $69.99, Weller 12 for $59.99 and an E.H. Taylor Single Barrel Bottled in Bond for $79.99. ❤❤❤ I think I got an absolute STEAL for those prices but I'm new to bourbons and their pricing nowadays. Can anyone tell me if I got a good price or overpaid and so forth
Try devils river!
The narrator sounds like George Lowe, the voice of Space Ghost (RIP)
This is great…don’t get me wrong but we wanna see more bourbon hunting!
You will get plenty of that! 😁 Thank you
Can always tell how much you've had based on the volume of your voice 😂 Holladay makes some great stuff!
🤣 yes they do!
I've never seen Holladay for sale in California.
Dont know if you've taken a look at Boone County Distillery. Not bad for a restart Distillery. Their selling thier own stuff now.
I found a source for this and picked up a bottle of Rick house proof for $60.❤😊 mine is 120.1 proof.
I just received my Still Austin pick and am a little surprised/concerned that there isn't a barrel pick sticker on it. Exact same packaging and label as the shelfer.
You may have mistaken it with the regular release we also had for sale. Send us your order number at support@brewzle.com.
So whens this going g to be Available??? I've been. Waiting a long time for this one!!!.....and I'm visiting Crittenden in 2 weeks!
The "proof queen" is the best!

Did anyone ask why they do twist caps instead of corks?
Did I hear the tour guide correctly...there are over 20,000 distilleries in MO?...around the 11:15 mark on vid
I think that's nationally
Wow, he never told us he was coming to Missouri I live in Missouri Skanless
The red wheat rickhouse proof is the truth (and I say that as a usual 100-105 proof guy).
Why are we deleting negative comments?
where have you seen negative comments being deleted? There's still plenty to scroll through
@@Brewzle my own personally about the Patreon just being a paid advertisement for the CZcams channel. Another commenter asked about it and I gave my honest opinion as a patron for almost a year before I cancelled my membership
Feels like I’m being advertised to :/ not the vibe
it's a distillery tour...
Chick giving the tour was annoying. She didn't even give a fuck lol
I thought she did fine…how excited can you be when all you do all day everyday is tours.
This channels fall into nothing but marketing hype has been disappointing.
?
Bot
@@ajwitty yea total bot. Couldn't possibly be that I'm paying attention.
Then why are you still watching?
@@CigarsUnleashedit's called feedback to the creator. And i still check out videos in the hope that the marketing hype dies down a little. It's not like i dislike him or anything.
