Love seeing you guys share the bottles, especially at the end with the restaurant owner. You can tell how much he appreciates it, and that’s what it’s all about. Sharing and making memories
Grocery store near me sells Weller 12 year for $45. You have to go to the customer service desk and ask for it and it's not always around but everything they sell is at state minimum and they can obtain about anything you want. Sometimes they can be a gold mine.
Rod & Hammer is my local distillery. Can confirm it's MGP juice. They just barely put in a new still so they can get their production up. Their Cask Strength is more than worth the buy. Their standard offerings, not so much.
Hi TJ, It's a scotch but since you said you would be keeping an eye out for them, you missed a Springbank Local Barley 11 years at 7:24. I doubt the price was fair though... who knows!
Keep making your videos Sir, hell with the haters it means you're doing something right. I've never drank Bourbon in my life and have been binge watching all of your videos.
Same here i just enjoy watching him haggle and seeing his knowledge in all the different bourbon flavors i end up on his lives when he tires them out and it’s just entertaining
@@justinlindsey9178 I've learned so much about double barrel, store picks and barrel picks, malts etc. One thing I've wondered do you usually put ice in your bourbon (LOL) and do you chill it.
Your wife is 100% like mine. I always think way hard on buying it and she is always giving me the "When will you ever see this bottle again speech". I love her and I won the wife lottery lol. That Widow Jane Decadence was a miss. That stuff is so freaking good!
Brewzle, with as often as you bourbon hunt while flying, you may want to consider a piece of wine luggage. I check mine everywhere I go, and use Vin De Gaurd 8 bottle luggage. It keeps the weight under the checked bag limit, and I’ve checked it over 50 times with zero issues. Just an idea my friend! Keep this content going, love it
Great video, TJ! At some point I highly recommend you try Driftless Glen. I went to a distillery tour in Wisconsin and it was amazing. Great folks over there.
If you ever run across a red breast PX at $150 or less, buy it. It’s Irish whiskey, but it’s absolutely fantastic! I enjoy good Irish whiskeys and that is probably the best one I’ve had. So much so that I bet anyone who doesn’t like Irish whiskeys will also enjoy it. Red breast also has a bourbon barrel aged Irish whiskey…I have a bottle, but haven’t cracked it yet. PX…it’s the real deal…
In my neck of the woods. Sorry to have missed you all. I think the Larceny C923 is better than the ECBP C923. Oh and that Jim Beam Single Barrel is delicious you should have picked it up. Keep up the great content!
San Jose is the land of easy whiskey since the scene is heavily moving into Tequila. All across CA the availability of bourbon/rye is extremely available compared to the rest of the US. I guess the Fireball/Wheatley Vodka sales are still strong so you still get crazy allocations all across the state.
Well, San Jose. I use to reside there years ago, in fact I was out there this Feb 1 to Feb 5....Anyway, that is what made it so interesting living there was the great quest for Whiskey, Bourbon, and Rye. My best encounters outside of Bevmo, was the numerous Liquor Stores...I resided on the West Side....but when you looked there was variety and slection...sometimes the price was to gouged.
Any of the Mitchell & Son Spot irish whiskeys are solid yellow green or red, they’re usually Allocated at our Governments (BC, Canada) premium spirits release but not necessarily hard to find…but all them I so far have tried are very enjoyable.
Very great to see you visit San Jose, I’m sorry it didn’t turn out better. I am from the San Jose area and most liquor stores are tight with pricing unfortunately. Welcome to California…. Where anything is expensive
Tj I will always respect and appreciate the effort you do and the knowledge you give, you are the reason I switch from tequila to bourbon, lol but that hater tho he funny ignore all the commotion. And good drinking here from Houston,TX sir,cheers 🍻!!
Oh Yeah! You definitely linked up with the Best Bourbon Hunter on the West Coast. Looking at his hat he also has a great taste for BBQ Sauces and Seasonings😁
Ever since I started watching you, I started paying more attention to bourbon, and I went to a store that was charging 800ish for stagg and 200 for antique 107😮😮😮
Brother this is my favorite burbon channel on the interwebs. I say with Respect: please exercise and work on your weight so you can be in less pain. I mean this from the bottom of my heart. If you do ever read this. Stay healthy man you have a lot going on. Seriously love your team and your channel. Exercise eat clean so you can continue with this type of content. With all do respect. If this ever gets read.
That Lost Republic is actually really nice. I was a bar manager up until a couple years ago and I had a rep come in and sample that for me. I've been looking for a bottle of it for myself for a while, but it's only special order for bars and restaurants in my area.
Tale of Winter is a 2022 limited edition finished in Marsala casks. Marsala is a Sicilian fortified wine that was originally made to compete with Port when British sailors would come to Sicily as the British at the time loved fortified wines. It never took off and ended up becoming cheep cooking wine.
Living in BC, which is a government controlled system with a secondary private liquor store system, it is wild to see what we have litterally everywhere (Buffalo, Little Book 4, 5, 6, 7 ---- etc)
You pointed to the scotch on the top shelf in one of these places and all I see is Scotland. Tax went up years ago and I think what craft distilleries are doing in the US with malted and copper pot stilled whiskies is too compelling comparatively (by price, especially). The other thing is that in Scotland AB Inbev and Diageo own them all except a very few. Those that like Islay scotches should drink Kilchoman - the only craft distillery left in Islay. In the US what comes to mind for me is Defiant (out of North Carolina). If you don't typically like scotch, Defiant is easier on the palette, like a lowland scotch. Balcones (from Tx) is one of my favorites - very very very unique. And there are a couple from ASW in Atlanta that due to value/price, I can't pass up. I basically try to like everything from ASW, but I"m biased, being an Atlantan. Would be curious your opinion on the "Fiddler" line (bourbon wise). You have probably covered it and I just haven't seen it yet. The pecan barrel one to me is pretty good.
Awesome Video! Was one of the better videos in a while! Love to see the camaraderie of the group throughout the video and the special bottle pours at the end!
Cool that you stopped by my city, San Jose. We're not really known for our whiskey, but always have stock of Buffalo Trace and Eagle Rare! Next time you're out here try some local distilleries like 10th Street Distillery.
You’re definitely right that Jack Daniels stuff is extremely available. That said, the SiBBP Rye is oddly scarce in some regions. Including central Tennessee. I live an hour from Lynchburg and I’ve found it twice in a year. Not really your fault that it tastes so good that everyone wants it though lol. Keep making the content. Always entertaining!
Please come do a hunt in southern CA. Where you are is not really CA, that’s the sparse populated area, LA (Los Angeles) is the place to be. Just LA alone has 10x the population of where you are now. That’s a fun hunt, its supply and demand and the thrill of the hunt. Right?
Hey gentlemen… can you two make a video on the small stuff? How to drink bourbon like a boss or just a newbie. What glasses to use Glencarin or a solo cup. How much do you pour? How much to drink in one night/ one sitting. Do you stick with one glass of one kind or taste multiple till you can’t feel your face haha! What is your top daily drinker? How does Brewzle do it? Thanks men. San Angelo Texas here.
Can't wait to see your Frey Ranch video. I tried it in Veags and brought a bottle home to eastern NC. Of course I really like it and we don't have it here.
That was also pre label change John J...lots of rumors about what juice was actually in the bottle and whether it's changed but I'd buy several of those being the old label.
If you like scotch, Glenmorangie makes quality whisky, that doesn't break the bank. Most scotch has exploded in price the past couple of years, atleast here in Europe. So i've been dipping my toes in to bourbon. For some reason the cheap ones are marked up quite a bit. Wild T 101 is 30usd while a Eagle rare is 40, then again a Knob Creek 9 is like 60 usd.
I have recently started watching this channel and hands down the best one yet!!! I love you guys an all the content also if you haven’t heard or tried creek water you should definitely check it out n try it
Don't want to sound like a "fanboy" (cuz I'm more like a "fanoldman) but this was a great video. As my brother would say, "everybody with a garage is making bourbon" these days. I only wish I had to the budget to try some of these picks. If in California, you have to try Dorothy Arzner Rye whiskey which I believe is distilled in California by Francis Coppola. Excellent! Cheers!
I have a local store that marks up bottles to full secondary+. If a tater from Alabama comes in, Stagg is 349. If a local hoarder who already has 14 bottles of every batch made comes in, it's 349. If a local comes in regularly, purchases shelfers, and talks to the owner like a human, Stagg is 100. Lol! I fully support this method.
I have been binging these hunting videos! I know you have hit Orlando before but if you ever make your way to Tampa or St.Pete in Florida would love to show you to a few spots!
I think when you tried to get into scotch and see if there was one you like, it was a good variety, But I probably wouldve started you off with some different American Single Malts. They share more similarities with bourbon as typically they are aged in new american oak which results in bigger bolder flavors, rather than delicate complex ones. They tend to be a bit young, but its a fast growing catagory and most that Ive had are delicious
Yea I picked up the high west cabernet, and man am I happy with the decision. The nose is immaculate and the pallet holds up too it very well, but I wouldn’t quite call it immaculate
7:23 there is a Springbank Local Barley :O Years of hunting for SB in Sweden not once have I got hold of one of these. Here you could get four times the price for that bottle. Lot's of people would buy that just to sell it or store for the future. Americans are lucky :)
Love your videos,I’m a huge makers mark drinker and I wish I could have found a cellar aged for myself.I haven’t given up just yet even though I know hell will probably freeze over.Great finds
Love the fact you guys made it to Reno. One place I would recommend if you find yourself back in Reno is a bar and bottle shop called Death & Taxes. They certainly charge full and over secondary, however they have some really awesome bottles for sale. Otherwise, they have probably the best drink selection I know of in Reno. So the worst that can happen is you have a nice drink while you are there. I grabbed myself a Weller Full Proof barrel select recently from them and they have many other BTACs, Willets, and others to choose from. Lastly, if you got the pocket change you can have a sip of some 199x O.F.C. they have on hand.
I’m from San Luis Obispo where Rod and hammer is based out of, and the sample I had from them was delicious. It was my aunt and uncles bottle, don’t remember the exact bottle it was but it was delicious
It's pretty funny when people increase price above MSRP on the bourbon county stouts. In my area anything from 2022 or older is HEAVILY discounted because the retailers want them off shelf. One of my local gas stations is already marking the 2023 releases down 30-50% just to move them. I walked into one of their locations and the clerk said "take all of them and I'll give you a great price." They were already $6.50 per 2023 barrel aged stout but they had 35 of them on shelf. Probably could have walked out with them all at $5 a piece just so they could clear their shelf space. Most chains know that the bottles are designed to "age" in the glass but they simply don't care. If the item is not moving quickly they will price it to move. Per year they make far less off the Goose Island Stouts than they do off PBR/Coors/Bud Light and they want more shelf space for those high movement items. The smaller specialty stores just want to make margin on their unique products since they don't need as much footage dedicated to their standard and high moving products. Of course, you won't find 2017 bottles in most chains - they would have thrown them into the dumpster by 2020/2021.
Rod & Hammer's....San Luis Obispo California distillery. I bought a bottle of the cask bourbon last year, but yeah maybe a bit young and I am a bourbon rookie.
If you can find a Balvenie 21yr aged PortWood for $230, or under, it is worth it, if you are interested in a Scotch that isn't overly peaty and has some lovely caramel and grape notes. It is my favorite scotch ever made.
Love me some Stagg and especiallly George T Stagg. Just curious where George T ranks on your list and what’s the max you would pay for it. I have gotten 4 bottles in my small Georgia town along with Handy and some pappy 15. Would love to get with you to taste some of these. Just curious where you’d rank them?!
TJ is the first guy I just want to be friends with! Knowledge is great, personality is better. I scored my.forst Blanton's locally though I've tried it before. A friend of mine who is part of a group that gets rarer higher demand stuff let me snag a Rock Hill Farms of his for $100. Waiting until i can appreciate them better before i crack them open. I dont think I'll l ever get the palate developed more than yea or neigh! Brewzle you make great content. Thank you my virtual friend.
Nuts to me seeing all those bottles on the shelf. Meanwhile in Ohio I’m still literally 0/10 on any line I’ve waited in trying to get EH Taylor or ER. Been trying for months and still never even seen a bottle in person. Yes, you can get Weller green pretty easy on drop day and an occasional red. Not sure it’s worth the trade off.
Fellow Ohio person here. If you are not far from Kentucky the drive to Buffalo Trace is pretty nice. It is how I managed to get my ER and Taylor. I have also struck out every time in state too.
I live in NE Ohio I have no issues getting either of the wellers and can get Eagle rare with a little effort. Blantons is also pretty easy. EH is the hard one. Only had one chance at that
@@michaelfosnaught2238 same for me, but I'm more NW Ohio, ER, EH, BT, Blanton's and Weller 107 and SR pretty easy to come by if ya just wait a few weeks or sometimes maybe a month. But I always get see new ones before I run out of an open one.
@@scottbartlett2087 Im about central OH. Can only really go to drops on Fridays since I don’t have work. Can get Weller green and occasionally red but never had a chance at anything better. I hate living in a control state.

He and his team are awesome. See him change will be motivation to myself, and i hope to those who watch him. I hope he keeps up the great work. I'm sure if he works this hard on his channel he will work just as hard on himself for his family, and us lovers of whiskey. I'm not sure if this is jill his wife but tou guys make a great team.

A honey hole 🤫
Well you can retire on deals like that
Please let us know LOL
Proof it's real
Love how good of a sport Ms. Jill is pushing you to buy bottles. Love her "live a little" attitude.
Rod & Hammer is my local distillery. Can confirm it's MGP juice. They just barely put in a new still so they can get their production up. Their Cask Strength is more than worth the buy. Their standard offerings, not so much.
Big fan of that Redwood Empire Grizzly Beast

I was surprised Widow Jane was not mentioned on his NY video! Such good Whiskey, specially Decadence!
I haven't tried decadence yet. Lucky 13 was delicious.
I love how supportive Jill is. She’s like “you should get it!” and I know that my wife would give me a hard time about buying cheap bourbon lol.
not a drinker but a 80$ bottle is considered cheap for bourbon? Just curious 😅
Great stuff as always TJ. Love the Bourbon hunting videos !! Thank you TJ and JIll
The 2023 Makers BEP always does amazing in my blinds. I usually don't like staved whiskeys but this one does it for me.
I agree. This is by far my favorite channel. You and your wife are amazing and fun to watch. Keep hunting and sharing.
Jill rocks for supporting you. My wife enjoys hunting with me and picks a few for herself lol.
It’s cool to see you guys around my neck of the woods, Elk Grove, Reno, etc etc. You boys get around! Glad to see it!
My family is from Fallon, NV. I used to live about 2 miles from Frey Ranch. The Frey's are good people.
Robb stark disagrees
Brewzle, with as often as you bourbon hunt while flying, you may want to consider a piece of wine luggage. I check mine everywhere I go, and use Vin De Gaurd 8 bottle luggage. It keeps the weight under the checked bag limit, and I’ve checked it over 50 times with zero issues. Just an idea my friend! Keep this content going, love it
The Japanese whiskey hibiki is amazing!
Totally agree
I would recommend trying the world whiskeys!! You may like it or you may hate it, but you have tried it!!
You are my guide to bourbon❤
Great video, TJ! At some point I highly recommend you try Driftless Glen. I went to a distillery tour in Wisconsin and it was amazing. Great folks over there.
Best bourbon channel hands down!
I agree on the 15. After the Pappy 15 it doesn't get better and I had one bottle that tasted like an ashtray. 15 is my pick for best, too.
If you ever run across a red breast PX at $150 or less, buy it. It’s Irish whiskey, but it’s absolutely fantastic! I enjoy good Irish whiskeys and that is probably the best one I’ve had. So much so that I bet anyone who doesn’t like Irish whiskeys will also enjoy it. Red breast also has a bourbon barrel aged Irish whiskey…I have a bottle, but haven’t cracked it yet. PX…it’s the real deal…
Redbreast 12 is aged in ex bourbon and ex sherry barrels. Most scotches do the same of ex bourbon and/or sherry.
In my neck of the woods. Sorry to have missed you all. I think the Larceny C923 is better than the ECBP C923. Oh and that Jim Beam Single Barrel is delicious you should have picked it up. Keep up the great content!

Raley's is a great store. Just got myself a Thomas H Handy for $250 from my local Raley's!
A darn good start, some good stuff and a great ending with Pappy!
Also I asked about bottles before and forgot to say... Truckee California is a great place full of great people..glad you like it out there

Wow, just a fantastic video and that bottle lineup at the end was stellar
You missed the John J Bowman @ 23:15.

Pretty good.

I think when you tried to get into scotch and see if there was one you like, it was a good variety, But I probably wouldve started you off with some different American Single Malts. They share more similarities with bourbon as typically they are aged in new american oak which results in bigger bolder flavors, rather than delicate complex ones.

7:23 there is a Springbank Local Barley :O Years of hunting for SB in Sweden not once have I got hold of one of these. Here you could get four times the price for that bottle. Lot's of people would buy that just to sell it or store for the future. Americans are lucky :)
This is what it’s all about. Thank you ❤
Love your videos,I’m a huge makers mark drinker and I wish I could have found a cellar aged for myself.I haven’t given up just yet even though I know hell will probably freeze over.Great finds
The regular releases from Frey Ranch are better than most whiskeys. I am waiting for the cask strength and barrel picks make it to Florida.
The seller of Starbrite Market was awesome.
I like the tasting in the video, definitely should be in every hunt!
Great Video
I’m heading to Raley’s in Truckee Ca tomorrow to walk the isle where the good stuff is. Cheers.
My buddy is the one distilling for rod and hammer. Great guys in an amazing town. Great pick up

Picked up hueling station single barrel from Memphis a 8 year. Its delicious
It's pretty funny when people increase price above MSRP on the bourbon county stouts. In my area anything from 2022 or older is HEAVILY discounted because the retailers want them off shelf. One of my local gas stations is already marking the 2023 releases down 30-50% just to move them. I walked into one of their locations and the clerk said "take all of them and I'll give you a great price." They were already $6.50 per 2023 barrel aged stout but they had 35 of them on shelf. Probably could have walked out with them all at $5 a piece just so they could clear their shelf space.
Most chains know that the bottles are designed to "age" in the glass but they simply don't care. If the item is not moving quickly they will price it to move. Per year they make far less off the Goose Island Stouts than they do off PBR/Coors/Bud Light and they want more shelf space for those high movement items. The smaller specialty stores just want to make margin on their unique products since they don't need as much footage dedicated to their standard and high moving products.
Of course, you won't find 2017 bottles in most chains - they would have thrown them into the dumpster by 2020/2021.
Rod & Hammer's....San Luis Obispo California distillery. I bought a bottle of the cask bourbon last year, but yeah maybe a bit young and I am a bourbon rookie.
The tequila selections in California is amazing. Definitely need to try Cazcanes añejo or extra añejo
Jill was not for the games out there lol. She was grabbing the goods with no hesitation 😂 good stuff
If you can find a Balvenie 21yr aged PortWood for $230, or under, it is worth it, if you are interested in a Scotch that isn't overly peaty and has some lovely caramel and grape notes. It is my favorite scotch ever made.
Love me some Stagg and especiallly George T Stagg. Just curious where George T ranks on your list and what’s the max you would pay for it. I have gotten 4 bottles in my small Georgia town along with Handy and some pappy 15. Would love to get with you to taste some of these. Just curious where you’d rank them?!
TJ is the first guy I just want to be friends with! Knowledge is great, personality is better. I scored my.forst Blanton's locally though I've tried it before. A friend of mine who is part of a group that gets rarer higher demand stuff let me snag a Rock Hill Farms of his for $100. Waiting until i can appreciate them better before i crack them open. I dont think I'll l ever get the palate developed more than yea or neigh! Brewzle you make great content. Thank you my virtual friend.
Try patio 29 it’s made in winners California I believe they grow their own grains and distill it there
Do you mean Winters?
Great video and hunting! So jealous!
I can’t seem to add a photo I took at rod and hammer but they make their own stuff. It’s good for being young. I believe mine is 117 proof
Great video!
Another awesome video🥃Jason is the man!🥃
Found some Rebel cask strength the other day and had to pick up a couple. They were store picks.
Nuts to me seeing all those bottles on the shelf. Meanwhile in Ohio I’m still literally 0/10 on any line I’ve waited in trying to get EH Taylor or ER. Been trying for months and still never even seen a bottle in person. Yes, you can get Weller green pretty easy on drop day and an occasional red. Not sure it’s worth the trade off.
Fellow Ohio person here. If you are not far from Kentucky the drive to Buffalo Trace is pretty nice. It is how I managed to get my ER and Taylor. I have also struck out every time in state too.
I live in NE Ohio I have no issues getting either of the wellers and can get Eagle rare with a little effort. Blantons is also pretty easy. EH is the hard one. Only had one chance at that
@@michaelfosnaught2238 same for me, but I'm more NW Ohio, ER, EH, BT, Blanton's and Weller 107 and SR pretty easy to come by if ya just wait a few weeks or sometimes maybe a month. But I always get see new ones before I run out of an open one.
@@scottbartlett2087 Im about central OH. Can only really go to drops on Fridays since I don’t have work. Can get Weller green and occasionally red but never had a chance at anything better. I hate living in a control state.
@@Zach-td5mb control state has its pluses and minuses. I mean other states might have stuff but I refuse to pay secondary on anything.

If you do ever read this. Stay healthy man you have a lot going on. Seriously love your team and your channel. Exercise eat clean so you can continue with this type of content. With all do respect. If this ever gets read.
I appreciate how you said that with respectfullness .He is definitely working on it. ❤
TJ often talks about how he is on a diet and dropping weight so it is definitely on his radar
He and his team are awesome.
See him change will be motivation to myself, and i hope to those who watch him. I hope he keeps up the great work. I'm sure if he works this hard on his channel he will work just as hard on himself for his family, and us lovers of whiskey. I'm not sure if this is jill his wife but tou guys make a great team.
