i live in memphis but im new to bourbon when was allocation day and what exactly is it
@@matthewburton342Allocations are products that are only released at a certain time or certain times of the year. With bourbon, certain bottles are only released a few times a year.
I typed in the code on a parliament wallet I didn’t get up nowhere near 55% off it gave me $4.50 off of $93 dollars
@@Tn19895 it says get up to witch means that most items will only be slightly discounted and 1 or more are 55% off
I'd tell you were crazy if you told me that watching a guy hop around liquor stores would be the highlight of my Friday mornings.
Same 😂
I’ve been sober for more than two years and I like watching these videos.
He’s gorgeous bruh
Same. I don't even really drink whiskey bourbon etc too often but love learning about the ins and outs of the market
Right 🤣🤣
I don’t even drink alcohol at all but I end up watching all of these bourbon hunting vids just great content keep it up
Same here! Just because we don’t indulge doesn’t mean we can’t appreciate quality beverages!
me too he’s just so damn captivating
great episode on this one, maybe my favorite and maybe because your tour guide was super cool and that Buster's stop was excellent. enjoyed watching your conversations with those guys and doing the tastings.
Busters is a mainstay in Memphis but it still Memphis so it gets robbed and the gas station in front of it burnt down a few months back
I bought a bottle of Barrell Seagrass rye for $72 after you said it was good. My local liquor store didn't have the orange label but thought I would give this a try and I'm glad I did!! 121 proof and 60% alcohol on this particular bottle and it's very smooth. Definitely a good call.
I love seeing my city shine. Cheers, Memphis! 🍻
And, I love BUSTERS.
I’m from NW Ohio. My son attends University of Memphis. Every time we visit we stop at Busters. Never been disappointed. Always seem to have allocated available at reasonable prices. And their single barrel picks are 2nd to none. Absolutely love Busters. And their new butcher shop is awesome.
I love your videos and have learned so much about bourbon after binge watching a half a year of your content. thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge.
Thanks TJ. I like bourbon now. Tried two of your budget recommended and yes, i get it. Never knew why I hated scotch so much and stayed away from whisky. Cause a good bourbon was my whisky. Great videos, more travels and bourbon hunting please.
Love the Jimmy red corn. High wire distillery does really interesting stuff. They also have a great story to go with the tasty whiskey
I'm glad I finally got to see him try something from Bardstown. I bought their bottled in bond and finished the whole thing in just a few weeks. I liked it so much I just kept coming back to it.
Keep up this content! I only have a few bourbon channels I frequent, but i know my watch time on your channel demolishes the others, really enjoying this stuff! Great work man.
Your tour guide is a great salesman!
"You're only gonna see this today"
Lmao I was thinking the same thing, great salesman
The Redwood Empire BIB offerings have a very similar profile to the regular label from them. Whereas the cask strength offerings taste drastically different. Thats probably why he doesn't like them as much. I would recommend giving the cask a shot though! They're pretty darn good.
I grew up in Memphis and I go back for holidays now. Didnt know the good places thanks for the knowledge drop.
Definitely gonna hit up that Busters!!!
That smoke wagon single barrel "private barrel" right around 10:00 is usually exceptional as far as MGP goes. I have 4 different ones I bought straight from Smoke Wagon and they're all incredible. I paid $95 for each one straight from smoke wagon. Not sure what they were selling that one for in store
Is it 6 yr old MgP Rye ???
@@louidaiv2387the 4 I have are 5 year MGP rye. But they did a really good job pulling these barrels. All 4 of mine are a different barrel and they’re all awesome
The New Southern Revival Jimmy Red Corn is delicious! Previously I've only been able to find them for $100, and that's local to their distillery in Charleston!! You DEFINITELY should have picked a couple up for that price! I'd buy every bottle they had at $35!!!!
I agree...every bottle they had!!
That first was crazy. The selection down where I’m at has a few of the bottles sometimes but marked up almost 80%
Appreciate you stopping by corks and letting me taste ya on some stuff! Ever in town, definitely come swing by!
You, sir, are on a one way road to owning ALL the Whiskey.
You ask the wife about my 35 bottle collection and she'll swear I "own all the whiskey"
Elijah Craig single barrel releases are one of my favorites. Current have the C923, 137 proof, age 13 years 7months. Delicious!. $70 for that age and proof is outstanding. Also on the Angels Envy,,drank those early in bourbon days but now pass on the standard stock bottle. Bought a single barrel store pick at 115 proof for $99 on a chance and got a delicious bottle. Will definitely look for more of the single barrels. Lastly,,,,,Bardstown 6 year single barrel store picks. Absolutely one of best bottles I’ve ever purchased. After sampling at Cool Springs spirits close to Nashville knew this one couldn’t be passed on. The distillate is actually Bardstown, not sourced. $64. My mistake was not purchasing additional bottles. As TJ stated, it coats the mouth. Just an awesome bourbon.
I’m new to bourbon and I am learning so much from you. The language of the hunt is kind of exciting. Thanks. 🎉
As always, great video. As I'm from Knoxvegas i will defiantly plan a trip west. Thanks for the heads up on where to go.
Was outside of Memphis and Nashville all last week visiting family, great selections everywhere!! Cool to see some places on here that I visited. Picked up some Frank August, heard great things
Redwood Empire Bottled in Bond are not sourced and the mashbill is different. They are absolutely the best bottles coming out of Redwood Empire, BUT the cask strength Pipedream is very close (and it's cheaper). If you ever see the Bottled in Bonds at $70 or less they are well worth picking up.
This video was very good to see. I travel to Memphis a few times a year and I didn't expect to see as nice of shops. Just recently one of the bourbon groups I follow (SE Missouri) posted some pretty crazy hauls from Memphis and the Bootheel of MO. Crazy how different the bourbon world can be just 2 hours driving away. I'll certainly visit that shop for their first Saturday of the Month drop soon.
Glad to have you here!
old dominick is just recently been showing up in Chicagoland. I did there tour last winter on our long weekend in Memphis area. Good stuff
Probably the best video find you’ve done, just a,amazing thanks
My absolute favorite channel on You Tube! Enjoy your hunts!
Love your videos TJ! I don’t even drink but came across your videos when I was sick and watched every single one in one weekend. Keep em coming!!
Some nice choices you had this hunt.
Just found the Old Soul Tintype 1 but cart was already full.
Never had an amburana I have enjoyed
watched several of your videos, glad you made a trip up to Memphis, have some great locations for bourbon here
Great video men. I just don't see those kind of stores much, but then again, it's not like I'm making special trips to liquor stores on vacation. Can't wait for Monday to see how it tastes out.
Not long ago I recommended Corks to you on a live stream, glad to see you stopped in and checked out their inventory!
Couldnt love your videos more I am from the midwest and know that you arent the biggest Rye lovers but would highly reccomend either Blaum Brothers or FEW whiskey bourbon out of Illinois as they are my go to's
So glad you enjoyed Memphis, Buster's is definitely the place to go!
Ate at the Peg Leg Porker in Nashville last summer and tried their bourbon and totally agree, it's bloody good straight bourbon and the BBQ is outstanding too.
Those rare character the amburana is outstanding. I’m always trying to keep it on the shelf.
Also those BiB redwoods are their own distillate. Not MGP like the rest. The rocket top is king
I'm actually headed back home to Memphis tomorrow, and going to pick up my first whiskey since turning 21
Good God almighty!!!! I have never see that on the shelves either! I gotta go to Memphis. Even when I flew to Louisville I didn’t see that line up! Good business bud. I’m living through you today 😂😂😂 I’m subbing just cause that.. from Raleigh NC…
Stumbled across your channel and have been learning so much. You mentioned a brand I didn't catch the name of it but you mentioned it several times in reference to orange labels
That willet purple top was $1300 at my local store. More than double the price there
I was in Memphis last year when that ice storm came through around Christmas. It ruined my bourbon hunting, but I did get to tour the Old Dominick Distillery and get some great fried chicken across the street. Good times
Yes, I remember that ice storm.
Josh was a great guest
I’ll have to note a couple of these for my next work trip down there. Always hit Busters. Have had some really good store picks from there
Hey man I hope you see this. I went to Colorado once and had 291 Colorado Bourbon Whiskey Small Batch. One of the best bourbons I have ever had and would love for you to try it someday
I agree. I don't really know what I like so much about these videos but learning about bourbon and local distilleries doesn't get any better than Brewzie. This guy simply knows his shit. And I have learned alot so far. I am hooked
I don't even drink bourbon, but I've had your channel in non-stop for the last week. Good stuff, the Anthony Bourdain of Bourbon 🤘🔥
I hope to see south side liquors, Harry’s wine & spirits, elxR wine/spirits, and riverside spirits on here someday. All within a few minutes of each other in Bradley and Polk county TN. I’ve been tagging yelling some of the riverside spirits stuff 👍🏼
Semi new to bourbon, at least the rare stuff. So learning from you on what to keep an eye out for has been helpful
If you see some Dryfly stuff you should buy it! They make everything at a distillery in Spokane, Washington. Ive toured it a couple times and everything is made in-house. Really good straight wheat cask strength whiskey.
The New Riff Single Barrel is so good. I prefer high proof whiskey and bourbon over a lot of the low proof
I wish we had private liquor stores here in NC....
Teasing us with these announcements 4 days in advance.
I live in NW TN and we see Blantons, ER and E H Taylor regularly in most stores.
Send a few bottles this way.
Loved the video, I would love to see those options on the shelf and not behind the counter.
I was just saying this week that I think I like the Redwood Emerald Giant more than the cask strength version of it. I like them both, but funny I was just saying that this week.
I been growing Jimmy Red corn at home! I wish you would have got that Revival bottle, thats one ive been looking to try!!! Jimmy red corn is an old Native American corn that bootleggers used to use, it almost disappeared completely until someone found some seeds put up!
Any mashbills with them been produced yet?
First store considering secondary in kentucky, eht sb for 75 is a little under secondary but ive seen some posted for 75 recently. Blantons 100 is pretty standard but not worth at that value
Get the Lost Monarch Cask Strength and the Rocket Top Rye. It's the favorite of the master distiller who made them at Redwood Empire.
Yup, you're crazy for passing on the Revival Jimmy Red at 35 bucks. That's 90 in my market
The Redwood Empire Cask Strength Bourbon is one of my favorite bottles of 2023. It’s a straight caramel bomb. Definitely should have grabbed it!
I live on farmington. Seeing that background for store number 3 was wild.
I'm just getting into Bourbons and Whiskey. I too am in Alabama (thanks to the military). Where are some places around here that offer bourbon/whiskey tastings? I'm familiar with probably the most basic of "bar starter bourbons," but I'd like to try others without dumping $150+ on items I wont even like.
Spot on with the RWE. The rocket top BIB is one of the best bottles I own!! Way better than the other RWE offerings
The Redwood Pipe Dream CS and Emerald Giant CS are great. I'd pass on the Lost Monarch CS though
They can blend man!
learning Brewzle is an auburn fan has made my day
The redwood empire grizzly beast ( red label) is limited to 20 barrels or something. Supposed to be awesome
Watching y'all drink and drive makes me want to
Wish I lived near that first store. Some great stuff in there. Although I did manage to get EHT small batch for 49 by me.
Try Blanton's single barrel bourbon it comes in a 700ml bottle its sweet with notes of citrus and oak it's got a vanilla nose with some caramel and butterscotch it's also got some clove, nutmeg and cinnamon i think you would love it
He bought one at the first stop in the video. He just bought the 375ml instead of the 750ml ones you normally see.
Brewzle has that Keith Lee clout, its getting him into back rooms faster than a 2-year customer 😂😂 I high key would be mad if I was a loyal customer who has been looking for that one bottle and brewzle just walks in and gets it after a 20 minute conversation lmaooo
new southern is an awesome pour made in Charleston SC
Couldn’t have explained the Auburn fandom better. We actually went to school there haha
Channel has blown up soo happy for yall
Great Videos!!! I will be in Huntsville, AL next week, are there any good shops and places to get a good pour in n that area?
Congratulations on 500k subs
I like the magnus cigar blends, but do usually feel like they're overpriced - feels like they're just trying to compete with secondary, and maybe that makes sense - I've got one open right now, and I feel like it's opened up a bit as it's had a chance to breath, if you already have a couple (or honestly even just one), I'd say pass as well (not surprisingly, I actually like the cigar blends better with a cigar...)
Got lucky myself on special reserve in Colorado today. Stoked.
Whiskey is like Pokémon, you got to get them all!
Excellent decision to go with the Huling Station. I was yelling at the screen. Clearly you heard me. :)
You are all over the map brother! Do you sleep? Awesome pours they shared as well! Loving the JD Twice Barreled pick up! 🥃
So, just because it doesn't say distilled by doesn't mean they don't distill the bottle. 13th Colony distills their own Double Oaked but they also contract it out because they have a small distillery. They give their mashbill, and their sour mash, and ingredients to who they contract distill with.
So if I supply the paint, tools and a Mexican, but I dont actually paint your house. Can I say I painted your house??
@@KA-om9ozwhy’s it gotta be a Mexican lmao
So in other words they don’t distill it, if I give you the recipe for lasagna and you make it for me, I didn’t make it, you did
Hey, Brewzle, I’m just west of Nashville and would be more than happy to give you a couple of Middle west/Middle Tennessee tours! Cheers, brother!
i want to get into bourbon tasting and all that but dont know what would be a good start but recently went to my total wine near me and and saw 8+ people picking up Stagg batch 23C, havent really experienced many bourbons, should i save this till i try some other things or would this be a good start since i did buy one seeing everyone else buy this bottle like crazy.
Y'all sound like us Canadians when we talk about our hockey teams. A pleasant day/activity goes right down hill when you find out they cheer for the wrong team lol. Love it
Best hunting video yet!! Cheers 🥃
You can't tell me it wasn't truck day at the first store. Holy hell 🤯
Old Dominick Cask Strength is a GREAT pour!
So i bought my first bottle of bardstown yesterday because of a store pick i was able to try in tampa and now i watch this vid and you had the exact same reaction i did to it 🤣🤣
Have you tried Keepers Heart Irish American Whiskey and Bourbon? The story of who makes it is interesting.
Missed Cheers in Collierville
Try that yellow rose the Harris county and the rye
Super delicious Texas made
Your buddy is right. Any old soul blue label is delicious. Blue label is their cask strength single barrel store picks
Now Busters in Memphis is on bucket list! Those guys were great. Don’t get whisky stores like that in the UK 😔
I live in Memphis. They're great.
Memphis is the first place I found decent BBQ outside Kansas City. Hope you enjoyed some.
I work at a gas station in az that we have weller, eagle rare, blantons. All the eh taylors. Probably at a mark up but if y’all need those…
Should have got both the hi wire whiskeys!
I just picked up an Eagle Rare for $40 and a Blanton’s for $74. Pretty good day
I'm waiting for you to do a hunt in Chattanooga, I know a couple of good places here but I would love to get a few more.
