Dont stay in times square, dont eat in times square, dont shop in times square. Spend 4-5 hours there and go somewhere else.
4 to 5 hours??? There's not that much in the M&M's Store haha
4-5 hours? More like 1 hour max
Then spend 4-5 hours doing what?
Brooklyn for bottle hunting has been good for me and the food is always 🔥
Pick up a 107 Wellers for $49 I could not believe it. Have not seen a bottle here in Texas for over a year now
Why would you spend any time there??????
No better way to start a friday morning than a brewzle video
It's half 4 in the afternoon here in the UK, and in Newcastle where I am, it;s hosing it down has been since last night, it's cold, miserble and getting dark, the only plus point is that in 30 mins I'll be clocking off and looking forward to a chill weekend and the superbowl on sunday night.
I highly recommend hanging in the East Village next time you're in NYC - better food, prices, and liquor stores. You can probably do even better in the boroughs but it's an easy train ride from Grand Central
I love that you call out their silly prices, in front of them, and online. I saw an Old Fitz for 1.5k the other day, give me a break.
For real, the sad part is that these secondary prices exist because people actually pay them. Owner of my local liquor store said whenever he gets Blanton's, a $50 bottle, he sells it for about $200 and it never lasts more than a day on the shelf. Is Blanton's good? Probably, I don't know, cause I'm never going to pay $200 for a bottle of it, but I imagine it tastes like $50 whiskey if that's what Buffalo Trace says it's worth🤷♀
The commitment for content is appreciated brewzle and Mrs brewzle
Super useful video for us Europeans who are far more likely to end up in NY than say Alabama or Georgia. Thanks!
If you’re ever in nyc
East village(lower East Manhattan) is best for the bar scene, there’s literally hundreds of them there varying in price and theme
Astoria and jackson heights in queens for food from everywhere in the world without breaking the bank
See Times Square if you must but don’t waste too much time there, the magic of ny doesn’t exist there
I’d also recommend walking along the entirety of the Hudson River or a large portion of it in Manhattan. Extremely beautiful views with much to do along the river. There’s a riverside mini golf course and sand volleyball pit around tribeca, free kayaking at 55th street, a lighthouse by the George Washington bridge, and more.
If weed is your thing it’s legal in nyc and practically every smoke shop(aren’t hard to find anywhere in the city) sells good quality flower and prerolls
People forget that these places are going to sell for what they can get for them. There are a lot of businessmen that fly in and want to impress their clients so spending x5 or x10 MSRP is 100% worth it for them.
It’s business baby
Next time you are in NYC go hunting at - Astor Wines, 111 Lex Liquors and Wine, WinesToGo Wine & Spirits, Morton Williams Wine & Spirits, Wine Wisdom.
Astor Wines is such a good spot.
Warehouse on Broadway near Astor is a good spot too. Astor is the best.
John's Pizza is a great stop for pizza in Time Square. Finger Lakes Distilling/McKenzie is a great choice. Their barrel pick is great, my local club has done 3 picks with them and all have been great.
Great video. Looking forward to seeing where you hunt in San Jose, as I'm in the area. I haven't had much luck here, so wishing you will find those hidden gems.
Absolutely love your videos. Good to see someone from AL getting after it. Shout out from Odenville AL!
Glad you found John's Pizza......that is the spot
thee best and the owner is fantastic
Is that John's Pizza on Bleckers? EL Prez swears its the best pizza he has ever ate.
Guys looking a little cold out there 😂. Brings back Memories though I lived in NYC, from the late 80s, into early 90s. Love the Channel keep it up 🥃
Great video as always!
Thank you… that was so much fun !
Thank you for the experience.
Glad your visiting us in NYC, cheapest place for blantons in the city is Costco at 120. If you want good prices. Go to leaky barrel in Brooklyn
Nice tour and Bourbon Hunting episode, I’ve enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing! My favorite pizza place in Manhattan is Lazzara's Pizza Cafe!
Loved the video!
Jill looks sooooo happy....
Hunting in my hood. Hope you had a great time. Lots of stores to work your way through. You got to hit Queens and Brooklyn to get winners.
We go to NYC a couple times a year (quick flight from chicago). The last time we were there, I checked out that Times Square Wine & Liqours. I was blown away by the prices, and that's comparing them to Chicago. I know you love Bourbon County Stout, in the West Village is Carmine St. Beers, bookmark it to check it out sometime.
Love all of your videos. Some really nice Museums!
Always enjoy your videos happy hunting! 🥃🤘🏼
love it thankyou from western Australia
Awesome video
Great video, like the city vibe
Love you guys
Super incredible channel
TJ, Jill, the McKenzie bourbon you should have tried is their bottle and bonded. Come to upstate NY! There is many distilleries from Syracuse to Rochester to Buffalo you should try. Iron Smoke and Black Button in Rochester ate my favorites! McKenzie in the finger lakes is a great distillery also
Great video. Really looking forward to the SJ bourbon hunt.
I’ve had a couple different bottles of 77 stuff that somebody recommended. Liked them both.
Really enjoying your content and learning a lot about bourbon.
For NYC bourbon I like Van Brunt whiskey distilled in Brooklyn, their campfire is👌for NY State whiskey I like Taconic or Hill Rock. Taconic has some nice special stuff at their distillery I recommend taking a ride there
NY local here. Great Jones is really good, but if you are in the city go and get it from them direct. They have a distillery. $200 is what distributors are telling NY shops to sell Blantons at (So I’m told)
Get yourself some Beacon whiskey. It’s local and really good. The beaverkill bourbon crème is amazing. Kings County is nice but not fantastic.
Midwinters night dram is $150 at the distillery
Patsy's on 1st Ave and 117th Street. Great spot for a pie!
Great video
My favorite New York pizza joint, Sbarro -Michael Scott
I was waiting for this reference!
Thanks
Great Video as usual……..looking for those rare Springbank would defo break your Budget…..good Scotch, different but not everybody’s taste. Expect with a little mark up to pay 250 for anything cask strength but super mark up double that is probably the norm……18,21,25,30 will all be marked up as super limited batch bottles every year. My best bet is a local barley, yellow label, probably around 200 if you find one……ore if you’re lucky enough a Hazleburn from the same distillery as that doesn’t have any peat at all, plus it’s triple distilled. Still enjoying you from Scotland and keep up the good work…. You’re an inspiration!!
Helluva video! Thanks for coming to our city. Would’ve killed to meet you guys. Have a good one.
Jill's an enabler 😂
The finger lakes stuff is great!!!
I. Finally, I got my hands on blantons! So happy. Now it's time to see all the hype about the bottle.
johns time square is incredible pizza great stop and the fried mozzarella is incredible!
NYC/DOA..keep up the great videos
Another great video. Next time y’all are in the NE come up and visit VT, it’s a Beautiful state and all liquor is sold at msrp
I'm in SC and I have two bottles of Kings County Bottled in Bond on my shelf. I really really love it. I also have a bottle of Kings Code, but that's a different story.
Kings county bar is a great place to visit when on a NY vacation. I plan to do tour next time I go.
For pizza, Rubirosa is amazing! Reservations recommended though if you want to eat at a normal time. Tried once before a show and the wait was 3 hours
SAN JOSE?! Woohoo! My home town!
Hopefully I'll run into you when you're here!
I would 100% recommend checking out Great Jones.
They are New York locals. They contracted with a distillery in upstate New York before opening their distillery and tasting room in Manhattan. Their Four Grain is a distillery exclusive and one of my favorite purchases from my trip to NY. Love the content, can’t wait to see your next hunt!
I got my eyes on a single Rickhouse at MSRP . Gem of a store . Again you should hunt in my neck of the woods .
The kings county barrel strength is 🔥🔥🔥
Yeah snow hasn't been great in NYC the last few years haha. Awesome to see y'all in my city! Definitely check out areas outside of midtown next time you're here. Good distilleries in Brooklyn, too.
Missed out on that Beaverkill Bourbon Cream!! Super local upstate New York, surprised they carry it there as just a year or two ago I could only get it upstate.
I'd recommend a barrel pick from Mckenzie if you can find one, got an 8 year barrel proof that's really good, and has a bit different mash bill from their standard too
Shoulda gone to John's of Bleeker Street, the Mt. Olympus of Pizza.. everyone knows the rules.
Was in New York this year and I saw bottles I’ve never seen before and there was a reason why, their prices were higher than their sky scrapers!!! It was unbelievable!!
Can’t wait to see your Reno video. Just moved out here recently
Hope you like it!
I don't even drink bourbon, but i can watch these videos all day
Union Trail is a release from Bourbon Enthusiast. He runs a private barrel club. I believe its MPG juice, and very nice.
The Taconic Double Barrel maple is excellent
I can vouch for Hillrock. I've had a bottle of their stuff and thought it was amazing.
the 2 mile walk will do you some good
The Hillrock rye is real nice.
Loving your content. Thanks for keeping them coming. UK market is very limited. Any recommendations? Can get Eagle Rare at just under 50 dollars, or Knob Creek 9 for 40 dollars
I've been to Finger Lakes Distillery several times. They have a BiB of that McKenzie bourbon. Their Rye is good. It's an Empire Rye 80% NY local rye and 20% malted barley. I love it in an Old Fashion. Almost tastes like a smoked OF, w/o actually smoking it. Plus the rye spice.
My wife and I were up there in June. Had pizza at Slice of New York on 8th, it’s good pizza, can’t speak for if it’s the best. Right by our hotel Riu Plaza Times Square. We will definitely stay there any other trips we make.
Wise decision with the kosher rye recipe
Fun video! Wish you guys were upstate in WNY
Come down to Philly soon Brewzle! I’ll show you around
Blecker st pizza and princes are my two favs, they’re both very different so could not choose between.
Good luck
Come to Philly for some great craft bourbon whiskey!!! And then hunt in the Jersey stores
Liked and subscribed for your sacrifice
Brewzle come to Chicago! I’d love to show you around. Got a few honey pots
Buurrrzle🥶🥶
Give Red Breast Cast Strength a try. I don’t like Irish Whiskeys much either but that one is amazing and very bourbon-like. Lots of caramel, vanilla, chocolate, spice
Good man, I’m not a Irish whiskey fan as well
I'm hoping you made it to Beacon Wine and Spirits! Super knowledgeable and super friendly!
You’ve made it to New England!! Let me know if you decide to make your way into CT. There’s 4-5 go to places here
I don’t even like standard Jack Daniels whiskey…but I like watching your videos!
There are alot of places around the area to find the same bottles at affordable prices, wish we had connected before you came! I know some great spots
Fort Hamilton is a NY based distillery and their rye is super sweet and delicious even though it is zero corn
Yes Fort Hamilton is very good. Picked mine up at Grape Shot Wines & Spirits in Brooklyn
Barrel strength from them is great
The Dickel X Leopold is a rough pour, you did well to avoid it.
Good Video. That is a tourist destination, of course prices are going to be stupid. Well hopefully you guys had fun. 😅
A Parker’s double barrel is nuts
TJ great pick up on that McKenzie , there are one of my favorite local distillers who are doining it right , they have some higher proof stuff that is really good , if your ever in the finger lakes reagion hit them up 100% worth the visit
Black Button cask strength is the best! Dont pass on it!
Good Job on Johns Pizza!
The kosher rye is not the rye. That is the straight rye. The rye is mashbill 1 of Buffalo trace fyi
That was a museum tour for sure.
Good on ya for handling NYC. Better for food than bourbon not a bourbon hunting city.
I commented on your other recent video with the Mackenzie but kings just recently moved to small barrels. Some of the big barrel cask strength will knock your socks off
I saw you pass on the Dickel Leopold bros rye is a really tasty pour. It’s a buy @130.00 or less. I pick up a bottle every time I pass through Columbus GA
You have to come to Washington State!! Come on over to Stevenson WA to the Skunk Brothers Spirits! You're gonna love it!! I'd be happy to take time off to show you around to some local distilleries and places to find bourbon. If you needed a guide. If not, I still think you would love it up here.
Very productive video, don’t expect great deals in NYC.
San jose, try Don's Liquor about 10 min from airport...you have to ask for the good stuff...he doesn't have it out. I was there in Oct.. prices were a little high but he was willing to negotiate 🤙...
TJ, try the Glenfiddich 14; it's aged in old bourbon barrels
Next time you’re in nyc check out sarges deli ! It’s got some really good food
That Bootlegger bourbon is distilled and aged by their own company. It’s called Do Good Distillery in Roscoe ny. In my opinion there is better bourbon but the owner is the absolute nicest guy and really takes pride in their company. They make other spirits also (their gin is great) They’re also the same distillery that makes the beaver kill bourbon cream that Jill picked up. The story behind the cream is great too. The owner needed gift ideas for friends during Covid since a lot of stores were closed and couldn’t get anything. So he made the bourbon cream just as a gift for someone. They loved it and said he should bottle it at his distillery. So he took their advice and ran with it. Absolutely love what do good distillery is about and will give them my money any day. Even if it’s not for their bourbon. They make other spirits that are pretty dang good
