My old boss moved from roasting coffee to opening a distillery in that area, bardstown is insane for bourbon. His stuff is pretty good, Rabbit Hole Distillery is his, great guy!
I used to be obsessed with youtube and kinda lost my way. Brewzle is by far one of the channels that brought back my youtube VIDEO love and not just keeping me scrolling reels
This looks like the best day out ever. TJ man, you can handle your whiskey. I would have needed to be scraped off the floor after that many pours in one day. Love the video as always.
Wonderful video as always Brewzle! My wife and I are not far away living in Ohio but we have yet to make it to this festival. Time to plan for next year because this looked fun!
22:07 - Um...80 degrees? It was 90+ Saturday and Sunday...lol. Good times but hot 🔥!!! The CVMA®KY Chapter I am with pulled security on the VIP Entrance and the VIP Tent. It was great seeing and talking to so many cool people!
I went to the Kentucky Bourbon Festival the first 4 years in a row. It's been like 4-5 years since ive been back. 2024 has to be it. Every bourbon enthusiast needs to experience it at least once. It's a phenomenal time.
You have the influence. Don't doubt your prowess. I'm new to your channel, but I love the videos. I'm planning to do some local bourbon hunting in Louisiana and Mississippi with my buddy soon, and it all started with your videos. 👍🏻👍🏻Keep up the good work.
Hey Brewzle/TJ, you should come to the whiskey bar called The Bees Knees in Hayden, Idaho! We have the largest selection of whiskeys in the entire state! It's operated by a couple and I happen to be the "whiskey nerd" of the bar! We have the Michter's 20 yr, Heaven Hill 17 and 20 yr, the newest Parker's Heritage bottle and many MANY rare bottles at the bar! We're also an award winning bar! Hope you can come down to Idaho sometime! Big Fan!
For those of us in the icey snowy climates, I can't recommend snow tires enough; the money saved on 'stuck in an obvious normally avoidable situations' could be put towards bottles of EC23 and a warm weather vacation.
I am a scotch man. The only bourbon I've ever tried and kind a liked was your run of the mill Bulleit. But this guy... The way he is relaxed and free all the time. The amount of content and happiness he has in his voice. It's so relaxing. I guess bourbon has got something to do with it? I need me some bourbon after watching these videos. What would you recommend that is globally available? Apart from JD's and Bulleit?
Most of us Yanks won't be much help, because we don't know what bourbon you can get oversees. Though I always hear that Blantons and I think Eagle Rare are more common across the pond. I personally started out with Scotch, and then my tastes grew to include bourbon thanks to bottles like WFDO and JD SBBP. I never cared much for any of the "entry level" bourbons - JD Old No 7 and Bulleit are fine for mixing, but they don't do anything for me neat. Maybe try asking on r/liquor or somewhere like that? I'd try to find some fellow countrymen who like bourbon, their recommendations will be more useful. Cheers!
If you haven't already, you should try Bear Wallow Distillery in Nashville, Indiana. It's not MGP. There are 2 barrel picks at ABV barrel shops in St. Louis currently. Doesn't make it out of our state typically. Also do tours of the distllery. My favorite local whiskey.
Short Video Idea: You can try what we used to call a southern sour. You make it with equal parts Sprite, Sweet and sour mix, and southern comfort. I would love to get your take on it. Plus I see you reviewing drinks that include fireball so I am sure you can include a little southern comfort ;). Much love for my favorite whiskey-tuber.
I've got a new drink for you guys to try. I don't have a name for it, but it's a can of Sprite, about an ounce of rum (preferably spiced), and fresh grapefruit juice. You can garnish with a wedge of grapefruit, too.
Bold statement.....C & K batch 1 & 2 were 2 of 3 bottles I ever considered to be drain pours. (I would never drain some whiskey, just leave it for party mixers)
Definitely a blast being at the KYBF. Nice bumping into you. I still get credit for telling you guys to go a few months back in a live stream 😆. So you can blame me for spending all that money on all those bottles!
Opened my Baker's 13 last night. Very good, but I think I'm with Jill. Get me a Cellar Aged, please, Jill. I'll drink it with you. I even went to MM distillery and got shut out.
@@Brewzle the old Jett Bros bourbon is great but my favorite is the Kentucky single barrel straight bourbon. If I remember correctly it got double gold at the world spirit festival in San Francisco last year.
I've still got a Ch1 Little Book my dad gave me. I'm a person that will save a $20 bottle given as a gift while having no issue opening an 18 year old Scotch i bought myself.
Great video Brewzle! Please do more Kentucky Bouron Festival videos! Weekly if possible! But seriously, your content is great, your editing is phenomenal! The bar scene was great, trying multiple rare bourbons. Whiskey bar flights episodes? Just an idea. You do you! And thanks for the great content!
Just curious, around 9:55 when you're in that shop you're drinking from a pretty elegant whisky glass. It does not seem to be a glencairn. Any clue ast to what glass that is?
Really enjoyed this one, CJ! I can’t believe I haven’t done that festival yet. Next year for sure! Question- do you know about High Bank Distillery in Columbus, Ohio. If not, I’ll send you samples.
Yet to find a Whiskey that can beat what Lagavulin 16 offers for 150 a bottle. The Bakers conversation made me realize that no Bourbon has ever really come close.
I want to go to this festival. I am still amazed you can buy bottles at the festival, in my area they just give you a list of nearby stores that will be open the next day.
I thought that was you at the cigar area. It was nice to meet you. I didn't realize I was in the presence of greatness. I hope to see you there next year. I hope to see some reviews of the bottles that you got.
Brewzle, I have a few Weller antiques I would gladly part ways with, I’d rather trade for samples than cash. If you’re interested let me know. I live in Ohio so it’s all MSRP.
I'm a huge fan of the Michter's Toasted Finished Barrel Rye 2023, but I agree you need to be alright with a toasted finish. In this case it tastes like a honey barrel finish. But at 108ish (varies by the batch), it's a nicely balanced sweet as heck banger! Edit: further into the video, I'd agree that other stuff trumps the M20. I have an empty M20b and even i'd say that for the price to quality ratio, lots of stuff beats the M20. The Toasted Rye, Maker's Cellar Aged, and many others are a much better value for the price. And really, M20 isn't 2k good. It's not WLW, Pappy 20, or Mister Sam.

Thanks for the shout out. I didn't look or sound drunk at all.
It's a bourbon fest. We had a good time. Thanks for the pours!
I love that Jill! "I like what I like!" Jill I just love watching you in these videos
True. If he had blinded it, they would probably have been closer.
My old boss moved from roasting coffee to opening a distillery in that area, bardstown is insane for bourbon. His stuff is pretty good, Rabbit Hole Distillery is his, great guy!
I don't even drink and I gotta watch these bourbon hunting videos we need a brewzle TV show
That would be cool
yes, he is like a prickly hedgehog but fun to watch. he is healthy like a mountain bear even with so much consumption 😂
I used to be obsessed with youtube and kinda lost my way. Brewzle is by far one of the channels that brought back my youtube VIDEO love and not just keeping me scrolling reels
that 11k bottle if i was rich id buy it crack it open and give everyone in the store a shot it would be an amazing memory and experience
Great video. My first visit to this festival and thanks for taking me along. Cheers to the Brewzle family.
This looks like the best day out ever. TJ man, you can handle your whiskey. I would have needed to be scraped off the floor after that many pours in one day. Love the video as always.
Don’t know the first thing about whiskey but I love watching people talk about what they are passionate about.
Straight up told the RD1 guy to not screw up the single barrel with that Amburana Finish. Savage! 😂 Love your content! Cheers!
Nobody gives their opinion without sounding offensive like Brewzle. So good on camera and a killer personality to boot!
So moral of the story is... Have a media pass or forget getting any good bottles 😅
That Hartfield rep is dedicated to her craft. You said sell me a bottle, but she could have sold me on the whole damn tent 😂
I don't even drink bourbon, but I love your vids, keep it up!
Looks like a great time! Thanks for letting us tag along
Wonderful video as always Brewzle! My wife and I are not far away living in Ohio but we have yet to make it to this festival. Time to plan for next year because this looked fun!
Sounds great!
I wasn't aware of this festival. Definitely going next year. Time to start saving for all the bottles though.
It's really fun! You should go
I don’t even drink whiskey but these videos are super nice to watch
Love your content. We need an full scoreboard of your rankings 😊😊
You guys are living the dream. Love the videos.
Best event video you guys have done so far.
Dang, thank you!
22:07 - Um...80 degrees? It was 90+ Saturday and Sunday...lol. Good times but hot 🔥!!! The CVMA®KY Chapter I am with pulled security on the VIP Entrance and the VIP Tent. It was great seeing and talking to so many cool people!
Brewzle gets funnier as he keeps drinking 🤣
Thank you for the shoutout. It was a pleasure talking to you at the festival. Glad you liked the PD challenge coin.
I was glad that I got to meet you at this years festival! Hope to see you at a future festival! Cheers TJ!

Really fun video, lots of cool stuff and it got a little wild at that bar.
Way to go Jill with the honest review, don't be swayed by the age statement on the Michter's. Dying to find a Cellar Aged myself.
Hey Brewzle/TJ, you should come to the whiskey bar called The Bees Knees in Hayden, Idaho! We have the largest selection of whiskeys in the entire state!

Wish we had things like this in the UK!
Snap I would love that
21:45 Bluegrass Distillers are my boys. Best toasted barrel I have had yet.
The simultanious "yes" answering if he's going broke 😂
Dude in the orange shirt is WASTED 😂
Love your content man! Just getting into whiskey and love all your videos!
Awesome! Thank you!
I sense a theme with the term "Shananagans" I bet a shirt would would do well
Will needs to get on this
Both of the beer recs I’ve heard from Will are 2 of my favorite beers, I can tell he has good taste

"Anyone know a good divorce attorney?" No you did not just say that! LOL. Love Brewzle content! Cheers to everyone! 🍹
Makes me feel like my bourbon shelf needs an upgrade… in my opinion the rarest bourbon I have atm is a maker DNA 115 proof un-opened.
Bold statement.....C & K batch 1 & 2 were 2 of 3 bottles I ever considered to be drain pours.
(I would never drain some whiskey, just leave it for party mixers)
My kids are 2 and 4. When they are 18 and 20 my wife and I are going to this festival.
Divorce attorney? You married a keeper if she doesn't prefer the obscenely expensive 20. 😂
Awesome video, definitely would love to visit that festival in the future 😬
You should!
@@Brewzle oh I definitely will from the UK 🇬🇧 so will definitely put a plan together
Definitely a blast being at the KYBF. Nice bumping into you. I still get credit for telling you guys to go a few months back in a live stream 😆. So you can blame me for spending all that money on all those bottles!
You're the best!
FANTASTIC video…so much information and fun to watch…do More people
I was at Evergreen Liquors later that night. That Double Eagle Very Rare was sold!
wow! Lots of folks with lots of money.
Find Southern Grace Distillery! Their Conviction bourbon is delicious!
That girl at hartfield was locked in for the sale 👏🏼💪
Great video thanks!
Awesome video thank you!!
another great video, also digging those Dillon optics shades…can’t beat those unique opaque lenses.
12:35 John Candy's twin!
Bardstown and Louisville is a lot of fun.
That whiskey stagger was getting pretty strong by the time he said he had to skip some tents.
Wasn't staggering, but yeah, lots of heat and whiskey on day 2.
bro you are tanked 3/4 of the time. I'm surprised you even try driving to these things.
Opened my Baker's 13 last night. Very good, but I think I'm with Jill. Get me a Cellar Aged, please, Jill. I'll drink it with you. I even went to MM distillery and got shut out.
Thank you for introducing me to this, I’ll be there next year for sure
Looks like a great time
Awesome vid, love these videos so much!! Thanks
You need to go to Bourbon and Beyond. More about the music than the Bourbon but it’s a good time.
Did you get to try anything from Neeley Distillery? They’re out of Sparta Kentucky and won quite a few awards already. Very very good in my opinion!
I didn't.. what should I get?
@@Brewzle the old Jett Bros bourbon is great but my favorite is the Kentucky single barrel straight bourbon. If I remember correctly it got double gold at the world spirit festival in San Francisco last year.
I've still got a Ch1 Little Book my dad gave me. I'm a person that will save a $20 bottle given as a gift while having no issue opening an 18 year old Scotch i bought myself.
You should go get an Irish coffee from the Buena Vista Cafe! Too good 👍
Looks like a good time.
Great video looks like a fun time!
Really enjoyed this video.
Awesome, thank you!

The bar scene was great, trying multiple rare bourbons. Whiskey bar flights episodes? Just an idea. You do you! And thanks for the great content!
Whiskey bar flights and whiskey bar fights. Perfect combo
Just curious, around 9:55 when you're in that shop you're drinking from a pretty elegant whisky glass. It does not seem to be a glencairn. Any clue ast to what glass that is?
So what was number 1 or better yet best 5 of the festival? I would have been messed up after an all day tasting.
Dallas, Texas my city where I was born and raise
I still live in Dallas and always will
Really enjoyed this one, CJ! I can’t believe I haven’t done that festival yet. Next year for sure! Question- do you know about High Bank Distillery in Columbus, Ohio. If not, I’ll send you samples.
The woman at the bar was groovin 😂😂
I like it! lmao
I wish these was longer
Yet to find a Whiskey that can beat what Lagavulin 16 offers for 150 a bottle. The Bakers conversation made me realize that no Bourbon has ever really come close.
How did you like the Texas whiskey?
Have you ever had anything from Boundry oak in Kentucky,?
Looks like a blast! Gotta make it down next year. Greetings from Louisville…keep doin’ whatcha DO!!! 🥃🥃
Will do!! Thank you
Great video.
Love Mitchers but expensive
Loved this video
What days did you go? And did they have bottles released every day?
Great video!
If you need a German Shepard in Oklahoma this guy bought me michters
love your videos
Killer video man love the longer videos
Thanks boss!
Were you able to get a bottle of woodford reserves limited release of toasted oak four grain?
What kind of sunglasses are those? I love that matte finish on the lenses. I’d like to order a pair.
Dillon optics
Another great video. If I bought you a Michter's 20, would you come hang out at my home bar and talk to people?
I want to go to this festival. I am still amazed you can buy bottles at the festival, in my area they just give you a list of nearby stores that will be open the next day.
I highly recommend it
The intro song instantly stood out as a staple from the Dawid Does Tech Tips channel. Crazy overlap on my algorithm... maybe I'm on YT a bit too much
I thought that was you at the cigar area. It was nice to meet you. I didn't realize I was in the presence of greatness. I hope to see you there next year. I hope to see some reviews of the bottles that you got.
What are those sunglasses? I like the finish on the lenses.
Brewzle, I have a few Weller antiques I would gladly part ways with, I’d rather trade for samples than cash. If you’re interested let me know. I live in Ohio so it’s all MSRP.
as a Tennessee fan, at least now i know who to blame for the loss vs Florida
