Love that you shopped around Nashville! Cool Springs Wine and Spirits in Franklin TN was probably one of the ones he meant by “down 65”, they’ve got an unbelievable selection (and an entire craft beer room)
Next time you all are up 65 do your self a favor and stop in Spring Hill Tn and tour the Parkway store . Large selection , several barrel picks , will not disappoint...
That Hudson "Bright Lights, Big Bourbon" is in my Top 3 worst bottles I've ever had. 1. Balcones Single Barrel Cask Strength Rye (135 proof) 2. Hudson "Bright Lights, Big Bourbon" 3. Castle & Key (Batch 2)
Midtown is good, out east vintage wine and spirits is great, down south cool springs wine and spirits is good further south elixir is amazing small store with Soo much in it. Frugal is good for not marked up prices imo.
Here in the Phoenix area we have great liquor stores that have bottles all mixed together in each section. Alot of really old metal shelving unit style. You have to get down on your knees sometimes and move the front facing shelf bottles to get to dusty treaure bottles that could be lurking in the shadowy corners on the shelves. It is kind of a free-for-all here. You never know what bottles are hidden behind the standard bottles....that is all part of the fun of it for me. Then you get to blow the dust off a treasure bottle you found sitting there for who knows how long.Could be hidden back there for years. There could be a rare bottle hidden behind a half row Jack Daniels,it makes it like a true hunt fun time.
It not Nashville it’s a little south but Elixir spirits in Spring Hill isn’t far of I65. They have a ton of picks and a huge selection for a small store! Worth stopping next time you are around for sure!
Love your videos man, I find them very entertaining. I’m a tequila collector myself and I love just going to liquor stores and browsing and seeing what they have.
Missed opportunity on the hill rock. They can be pricy but they do some creative stuff with finishing. I can’t remember if they make their own juice or source though
Bourbon hunting video idea: Have someone else go in and pick their top 5 bottles. Then you go in and pick your top five bottles. Then compare and buy. Won't be able to get to too many stores though.
I’m very picky with ryes because I’m much more of a bourbon guy but I will tell you that I always have a bottle of rare breed rye. To me it’s strangely more smooth than the rare breed bourbon which I always have a bottle of that. Both worth always having a bottle on the shelf. Buy the rare breed rye. You won’t regret it
more shots of the store selection, more talk to the shop owners about how they handle allocations and etc. For the shops that charge stupid prices start asking them why their prices are so high and how much they sell at that insane price.
Mr Whiskers and CorkDorks had some good selections. I just got Obtainium Canadian Whiskey 77.2 ABV and 26 year old. It was distilled in 1995. The year I got married and and also the year my first child was born.
Hey chief, i work at Hudson Whiskey, and I will say Bright lights isnt our best product, but its a good bourbon. Our 7 year is a worlds better neat, wheras bright lights is a cocktail whiskey that can be drank neat. Its come way a long way from baby bourbon, and should have some credit for being the first NY whiskey since prohibition and starting distilleries throughout NY. Adding to that, that Hillrock is phenomenal. As said by other people their finishes are delicious, it's a bold rye that is one to try.
My local liquor store’s barrel pick of Penelope Toasted is not good. The owner, the workers, and all the guys in my bourbon club all agree that it was subpar. Maybe worth $25 but definitely not worth the $70 price tag.
You were just 2-3 miles from our front door during this one! Since you asked, Nashville is a store pick heavy town and those store wouldn’t rank high for us. We don’t visit them at all. For shelf available products Frugal MacDoogal isn’t too bad though (even though Total Wine now dominates the shelf available category in the area). Nashville Daily Spirits and Brinkmann’s were close by and two of the best stores for picks in the area.
We talked about visiting those stores, but J and Will were gassed from the derby week. You're right, Daily and Brinkmann's do some really great picks. Maybe another time!
FYI, you can do barrel picks through Southern Collective Spirits or Nashville Barrel Company if you're looking for high quality MGP, Heaven Hill, or NC-based Southern Distilling.
If you head a little west to the Bellevue area, Iroquois Wine and Spirits was featured in the bourbon documentary “Neat”. They have a really good bourbon selection.
I’d highly recommend trying to do a bourbon hunt in Australia or Japan. There’s a ton of export-only bourbon brands there that aren’t sold in the US, like Wild Turkey 101 12 year in Japan.

I don’t even drink, and I still can’t get enough of these videos 😂
Same 😂
Same
I’m learning so much about whiskey from these videos!
I don't drink much but am a Bourbon guy...what kills me is watching the prices he gets bottles at. : (
Same here. I don’t miss drinking either, but these videos make me wish I was into whiskey and bourbon like this when I did drink

His boy look just like his momma. He dumb as rocks though.boy couldn't get order right after being reminded 20 times
Frugal McDougal is my go-to when in Nashville.
energy was plenty fine in this one, man. don't worry about it! loved seeing the different shops, your guide seemed super cool and knowledgeable!
Next time you all are up 65 do your self a favor and stop in Spring Hill Tn and tour the Parkway store . Large selection , several barrel picks , will not disappoint...
Let's go! My man Jason being an excellent guide.

Love that your getting some sponsors @brewzle! You have some of the best whiskey content on UA-cam. Always genuine ❤
For stores you should’ve hit:
-Barrels and Brews (Nolensville)
-CorkDorks
-Reds
-Red Dogs
Elixir spirits in Springhill Tennessee, about half an hour south of Nashville has one of the best selections I've seen.
Those Bridle and Bit's are FANTASTIC if you see one again. Especially the Double Oaked ones.
honestly i watch your videos over and over again and never get bored.
Midtown is good, out east vintage wine and spirits is great, down south cool springs wine and spirits is good further south elixir is amazing small store with Soo much in it. Frugal is good for not marked up prices imo.
The best liquor store in Middle Tn is Elixer in Spring Hill. The owner has about 40 barrel picks and a great selection.
Honestly wished there'd be more content creators like him

Should’ve grabbed one of those Southern Collective picks!!
Keep these bourbon hunting videos going! Really love watching these
When I'm in Nashville, I always hit Midtown Corkdorks. Another great hunting video!
It not Nashville it’s a little south but Elixir spirits in Spring Hill isn’t far of I65. They have a ton of picks and a huge selection for a small store! Worth stopping next time you are around for sure!
I love that Brewzle reaches out and involves his Subscribers! Also Penelope sucks. CHANGE MY MIND.
Love your videos man, I find them very entertaining. I’m a tequila collector myself and I love just going to liquor stores and browsing and seeing what they have.
Appreciate it!
My local store did a copper and cask pick that was phenomenal. Guys are buying cases. It won at a bourbon club I’m in.
Glad you picked up the Leiper’s Fork! Excited to see that review.
Came here to say this too. CorkDorks

@brewzle makes the best bourbon hunting videos
You have some of the best bourbon hunting videos. Thanks so much
KLuke Barrel Strength & 100 proofers are delicious! Pick any batch! 👌

1000% agree...
In Nashville I like Mr Whiskers. They have a huge selection of barrel picks.

Whisky noob here, but I'm vouching for the Whistlepig smokestock. 👍 Recently, I made a Smokey Sour with this and It came out delicious
Leipersfork is incredible! I also order them through seelbach! Good pickup
I second this. It's expensive but it's great.
Chattanooga Founders is phenomenal!
Shoulda picked up that Bridle and Bit! They’re making some absolutely incredible stuff

Great video. Especially the Nord VPN spot. The 10th Mountain Division motto is “Climb to Glory,” so drinking to glory makes sense to them.
Thank you for bringing this up! I served in that unit and laughed at the comment knowing it was completely harmless. Agree, great video!!
Mr Whiskers and Sinkers are my two faves.
My local liquor store’s barrel pick of Penelope Toasted is not good. The owner, the workers, and all the guys in my bourbon club all agree that it was subpar. Maybe worth $25 but definitely not worth the $70 price tag.
great video. nice to have a tour guide patreon. seemed pretty cool. cheers
Congrats on 1 mill!!!
Thanks! It's been a crazy year for sure and at this pace this channel will be at 1M by itself before we know it.
That’s Chattanooga Founders 11th is my favorite bottle. Wins when I blind my top shelf. I highly recommend.
Rare Bread Rye is fantastic.
If you’re looking for smaller craft distilleries, Old Glory in Clarksville, TN has some good juice that isn’t sourced. Visited them earlier this week
You were just 2-3 miles from our front door during this one! Since you asked, Nashville is a store pick heavy town and those store wouldn’t rank high for us. We don’t visit them at all.

Oh, yeah! Another Bourbon hunting video!!!
FYI, you can do barrel picks through Southern Collective Spirits or Nashville Barrel Company if you're looking for high quality MGP, Heaven Hill, or NC-based Southern Distilling.
My #1 Guilty Pleasure watching you shop while on treadmill K.Luke Batch 5 at the first store… got ignored. Ouch!
Man.. I’ve been waiting for you to post a bourbon hunting video again.. I was starting to go crazy 😂 cheers! 🥃
Midtown Cork Dorks is one place you missed. I always hit Frugal and Nashville Barrel Company as well.
Penelope Toasted store picks never disappoint.
The one from my local liquor store was not good. Not terrible but definitely not worth the price.
If you head a little west to the Bellevue area, Iroquois Wine and Spirits was featured in the bourbon documentary “Neat”. They have a really good bourbon selection.
As a local, it's tut till town. Hudson Bourbon is pretty good. Aged in small barrels so it takes on the oak quicker.
Tennessee Legends- Canebake in Nashville is a great bourbon whiskey.
Yes Cool Springs Wine and Spirits are the folks to see.
Hudson was one of the first bourbons I had. I loved it for years due to sentimental factor. That being said, it is a drain pour.
Dang, I messed up I guess.
I have seen it listed on nearly every Worst Bourbon List from past few years.
Taxi drivers used to go to frugal macdouls for us when I went to school in Nashville …. Good times.
Love to see him start grabbing some of those Starlight bottles! They are great.
Looks like he heard me. lol
FYI: we just did 4 barrel picks at Starlight. Not sure when that video will come out but we are definitely on the Starlight train :)
You passed up on the bottle of 13th colony at the first store. It's fantastic.
Starlight is just a few miles north of Louisville off I65, so for Derby next year keep that in mind.
Definitely more coming up with them, just visited the place
love the charger and also its awesome seeing people from the discord in the videos
Frugal is the best. Always go there. Store picks are always 🔥
Dude you’re crazy. Chattanooga Founders is such a great bottle.
@brewzle The Rare Breed Rye is GREAT. The 101 Rye is also. Really need to get you one of those.
You picked a great one with Leipers fork!
Great videos. I feel like you are closer to me than other shows.
Great video, as always! Also, really diggin Will's Celtics shirt!☘️🔥🔥🔥
Really cool to see you here in Nashville. Great video.
Thanks for watching!
Mr Whiskers in Nashville. Reds liquors. Corkdorks. Those are some other good ones. Nashville 2 the sober return.
You need to go to Elxir Spirits in Spring Hill and Maryland Farms as well as Brinkmann's in Brentwood
That hill rock is a must try
Damn was hoping to see Nashville Daily Spirits and/or Elixir. The two best store pickers IMO.
Another amazing video! Cant wait for all the reviews!!!
Grabbed both those bottles displayed in the barrel, have yet to try either.
That K.Luke just sitting in the background!
I agree, I have a few of those already
@@Brewzle nice! We have yet to see it in GA. Gonna be in TN soon and hopefully will stumble across some.
Lots of great stores in TN have K.LUKE on the shelf. Cheers🥃
Love the random guy in the 4 store?. I wouldn't hold it again him. "That's Life"
I made the credits🎉🎉🎉. 5th on the (5) list. Great video TJ
Missing out on Corkdorks is a disservice to Nashville.
It's a great day to go bourbon hunting!
Darn straight!
Should have grabbed several of those 2XO - InnKeepers blends. MY GOD is that stuff good. Even better than the Phoenix Blend, and that was good.
you SHOULD HAV GRABBED THAT Pikesville 7:23
Leipers Fork is great! Local just outside Nashville. I suggest a tour and tasting if you can.
If you ever come down to Columbus, GA, if I am not mistaken, Maple Party Shop has the Starlight Bourbon standard offering for like $40-ish I think!
Enjoy your videos TJ! Looking forward to meeting you at Pours in the Park! On another note why did you pass on Kluke barrel proof? LOL!
Yo that charger is so clean brewzle
That goose island stout that they didn’t have is incredible!
Hudson 4 grain is an amazing pour
Dunno about their other stuff, but Balcones makes a decent single malt whiskey (scotch). Twue thang 😎
The 10th Mountain bourbon is good!
If you like a good Bourbon Old Fashioned, try these as a great alternative to Luxardo; Tillen Farms, Bada Bing Cherries!
Brother you have to get some sleep! I pushed threw a lot of days and nights, but as we get older we need our sleep!
Welcome to Nashville
That rare breed rye is pretty good, I can get it pretty often in Manhattan, kansas.
I’d highly recommend trying to do a bourbon hunt in Australia or Japan. There’s a ton of export-only bourbon brands there that aren’t sold in the US, like Wild Turkey 101 12 year in Japan.
Im from Kansas City. Riegers is really good, everyone likes it. The Ben Holiday I don't really care for.
Main Street and Weiss are mainstays in the hood that are a must. I worked at Weiss for about 12 years.
Keep it coming!
