I don't drink I live in Kentucky all kinds of bourbon around Kroger's had raffles for Black Friday for Happy Van Winkle bottles they had a couple 12 years and 23 years
I know you always say you appreciate us watching until the end, but let me just say we appreciate you filming until the end. The fact that these are not short little five minute videos makes for great entertainment on Friday evening. :)
@Brewzle thank you for getting slowing down while videoing the shelves. I appreciate what you do and I take your advice when looking for something new to drink
I just can’t justify buying anything over $75. Benchmark single barrel for $21 and Russel’s 10 for $39. Jack Single Barrel barrel proof for $60. They do just fine for me
I totally get that but a big part of the fun is trying new juice. I don't drink just to drink nor do any Of my friends so only having 2 or 3 bottles wouldn't scratch the itch.
There's definitely a point of diminishing return. But if you've got the money it can be fun just to see what the deal is with the crazy expensive stuff.
@@strongside4565 well said. Like I've got a Wild Turkey Master's Keep Voyage I paid 300 w/tax SRP for at a raffle and I hate that bottle bc of what I paid for it. Yet I've got a Russell's Reserve 13 year I paid the same amount for it above SRP and I adore that bottle. But it's also tied to an experience so there's more to it than just price.
Wild turkey 101 70th year is $50 and honestly it doesn’t taste like it’s worth more than that. It does taste good. It is definitely better than regular wild turkey 101. However, I can’t imagine paying more than even $70.
I just toured Sagamore Distillery in Baltimore two days ago and it’s awesome! They have two different blends. They age 4-6 years minimum in non-temperature controlled rickhouses so the heat and cold of the seasons help expand and shrink so the flavor gets drawn out of the barrel better. Really good stuff, their bottle in bond in what I took home. If u take a tour ask for Jake - he’s great
I was in a store south of Louisville that had a case of early times blacktop. I grabbed all six went to the counter and they were $200 apiece so I put them back. So they are still out there at astronomical prices.
The prices I've seen on those Antique 107s hurt my feelings everytime. I saw one sitting on the shelf for $200 bucks yesterday. I'd love to find it for about 100 less, but ER10 goes for $65 these days so it feels like a bit of a pipe dream.
Man I was getting a couple bottles of 107 a year here in Buffalo for market price back in 2017 or so... About 35 after tax. And right down the aisle was a whole display of eagle rare 10-year for 32.99. That sale went all year long for about 2 years straight. Those were the days man.
I got a 107 for $109 in Oklahoma last week, I’ll probably never see another for that price so I snagged it. Only store I stopped at so it was sheer luck, but decent deals are out there.
You know kentucky is the heartland when the allocation is just on the shelves. It has started here and everything is a damned release event. It's become not even worth building relationships unless you can become golf buddies with the store owner.
@brewzle love the channel. It’s always interesting to see the prices from state to state. Here in Ohio, most prices are state controlled but limited in what is available. Especially any item from Buffalo Trace distillery. Hard to find sitting on a shelf.
You should find and try Glenn’s Creek Distillery in Woodford County. Down the same road where Woodford Reserve and Castle and Key are. Glenn’s Creek OCD #5 is their main bourbon, made and bottled in house
Please, please, please get some readers so you can see the bottles. "I can't read that" is getting older than the aged liquor. 😢.. Much love, great content as always.
In my opinion Bardstown's High Wheat is one of the best wheaters on the market that's regularly available. To me it just totally blows out WSR and while it's very different to OWA I think it's probably just as good. For $45 it's an extremely underrated bottle in most places.
I need to check it out. Love good wheaters. Have you had Green River wheated? One of my all times favorite regular pours and definitely my favorite wheater so far.
@@matthewhenry6276 I haven't had it yet but I will shortly, Green River is actually doing a tasting at a store near me very soon and hopefully I can pick up a bottle at MSRP then. Bardstown's High Wheat I personally like a lot because you get a great combination of the wheat smooth sweetness and a bit of what is really convincing faux rye spice on the finish that while it does contrast the sweetness I think more than anything enhances it.
That’s my hometown! That Cox’s is a good shop. Grabbed a Blantons Gold for close to MSRP a few days ago. Wish i would’ve ran into you guys! Love your videos. Keep up the good work. Cheers!
Early times was my bourbon pick in college. I’ve recently gotten back into bourbon and will be on the hunt for Coopers Craft 100 for sure. I’ve seen other great reviews on it. Both Cooper and Craft are also sentimental names to me. My lab and my son
I found a black top bottle of Early Times Bottled in Bond in September (2024) at the Evergreen store in Fern Creek (KY) near the Roosters off Bardstown Road. Bought two bottles (one black top) and the guy behind the counter didn’t know the difference. Under $30 each.
Next time your in Louisville let me know got a few good stores to hit just picked up 2 antique 107 one was the new ncf store pick and 2 eagle rare 1 store pick and a 2024 cream of Kentucky cask strength picked them all up in the last 2 days at msrp
@ no connections I just search a lot ive found small shops that will work with you on prices liquor barns that put out allocations regularly just gotta show up at the right time as well as certain Kroger’s
@@jonahjohn4095 there is also a spot on valley station road the marked prices are high but the guy will work with you on them and some of his normal allocations like weller special reserve and eagle rare are $5 to $10 above msrp
Shop vs Shoppe - Shoppe is an archaic spelling(Olde English) of shop and is used only in proper names of places wanting to sound quaint and old-fashioned. The Pop Shoppe and The Medicine Shoppe are a couple of examples ! TJ with an entourage now on bourbon hunts !
Brewzle I live in Mount Washington and I just ran up to Mount Washington liquors the other day and they had rip and pap van winkle I guess you were a few days late but they mark all their decent bottles up so much that it’ll probably be sitting there waiting on you for next time 😂
A good location to check would be the Kroger at the Jefferson mall in louisville, its a little smaller but not to many people in that area drink bourbon so i found blantons once on a tuesday afternoon. But i used to live there and go to that kroger all the time
I’m a huge fan of Makers Mark and you walking past all those Heart Releases brought tears to my eyes😂 I can never find anything good i’m going to relent soon and buy it online.
I found 2 black top Early Times last week in central Kentucky. Asked the store owner if he had any more and ended up buying several and he still has more. They’re still out there!
@ Early Times used to be Brown Foreman but was bought by Sazerac several years ago. The old version has a black plastic top and the new has a blue metal top. There seems to be a consensus that the old version is better, so keep an eye out for them when at the liquor store. Just fun to find and I had never seen one before.
Tried my first Goose Island today (Vanilla Rye Stout) and this was delicious! Makes sense on why you pick up a few when you go on these bourbon hunts haha!
Sir Brewzle question for I am new to the Field of Bourbon Hunting would it be Possible to send you a video and you let me Know the Best Bourbon for the Prices and Taste ? I did see a 24 Bookers in the Wood box for $88.00 . What you think?
Painful to see you in my hometown and I didn't get to meet you. Cut Rate Liquors between 44 and Kroger dropped their BIG allocation on Black Friday. Check out all the Cox's Smokers Outlets next time through KY, they have a store pick section and most have a glass case of new/allocated stuff cheaper than secondary. Please come back next year!
Weller 107 just sitting on the shelf... Crazy lol. I'm in Kansas and we haven't seen that for years here. Of course for $150 for a bottle? I'm just gonna leave it sit too.
Mate, please. Can you find out why in Australia we can only get one type of Benchmark. This is a great bourbon, and I’m sure they do about 8 different types. Much appreciated
I would have probably grabbed that OFSB 100 from the first store. I've only seen one a year or so ago and kicking myself in the pants for not getting it.

I know of a place 30 minutes from Lexington ky that has some Jewels of bourbon and whiskey
I don't drink I live in Kentucky all kinds of bourbon around Kroger's had raffles for Black Friday for Happy Van Winkle bottles they had a couple 12 years and 23 years
Try Tanduay Rhum 5years. Made in the Philippines
how do i become part of the 100Proof club
Brewzle is the type of guy who explains to the Girl Scouts if space and budget is an issue when buying cookies.

The fact that these are not short little five minute videos makes for great entertainment on Friday evening. :)
Really appreciate the effort filming the selection a bit more clearly.
$200 for a WT70th?! That's outrageous. Especially the local secondary is like 70 😂
That's highway robbery. Local Meijer has them for $50.
Give it a few years when thatll be the secondary
My total wine has them for like $53 and I thought that was high lol
@@SomeSayIAmTrolling that's a buy, still cheaper than Kentucky Spirit
The store is ludicrous for pricing something so high like that.

Word. They’re just manipulating prices out of pure greed at this point. Knowing people will pay more for ‘the hunt’. So dumb.
@@BuckMcAntlersonfor me 2 o 3 bottle is great I don't pay anything above 65

I still say it, Coopers Craft 100 is the best $30 bottle out there. I'd pay $60 for it. Too bad it's not available over here in Cali.
"That make it taste better to you?" lol I laughed at that.
I live in Kentucky. Unless you want to pay way over MSRP at an independent liquor store, the rare bourbons are harder to find here than anywhere.
Great video. I do like it when you go a little slower so we can see the prices. I do love your videos. I learn alot.
Wild turkey 101 70th year is $50 and honestly it doesn’t taste like it’s worth more than that. It does taste good. It is definitely better than regular wild turkey 101. However, I can’t imagine paying more than even $70.
Thanks for showing the shelf’s slower.
Look at glens creek for a local Kentucky product from a non legacy distiller. Mom and pop owned and operated located right next to castle and key
Thank you @Brewzle for slowing down it get to see the price even for items you don’t stop and talk about. Been watching since your get go!!!…
👍 yes, thank you 🙏 the slow scan is nice to see so I don’t have to pause in attempt to read the label.

Tj playing pickle ball would break the internet 😂
No it wouldn’t
Hed b a champ😊
One thing JROCK will do is come up with a nice blend! ❤
TJ, folks can pause if they wanna take a look at the shelves, 😂😂😂. Some folks just complain about everything.
$200 for a 70th anniversary would have been an immediate walk out for me.
If you are ever in the area you need to stop at AM-PM spirits in cattlesburg kentucky. They have some pretty cool hard to find bottles. Worth a look.
@brewzle love the channel. It’s always interesting to see the prices from state to state. Here in Ohio, most prices are state controlled but limited in what is available. Especially any item from Buffalo Trace distillery. Hard to find sitting on a shelf.
thank you for making us appreciate our local store that take care of us, Seeing eagle rare above 50 makes me laugh
The Curley is Turkey juice. As an added bonus, if you look at the bottle neck, it clearly mentions Camp Nelson
Just got a rebel 10 year myself it is so damn good
You should find and try Glenn’s Creek Distillery in Woodford County. Down the same road where Woodford Reserve and Castle and Key are. Glenn’s Creek OCD #5 is their main bourbon, made and bottled in house
44 had a hell of a selection
Best bourbon comes out of Kentucky and Tennessee

The Bardstown Wheated is the Bourbon of the year for me So underrated
Owned by JB Pritzker….wont ever buy a bottle of Bardstown owned spirits.
JTS Brown BIB is a buy.

FWIW - the Evergreen store in Louisville on Shelbyville Road sells everything, including the Weller family, MSRP. Great spot.
Kentucky has it all .Bet it would be a good trip
Idk if you ever see your comments but I’m from Kentucky I know where a barrel pick of Blanton Gold is, weller full proof, and eagle rare!
Great vid! I live in the area and great to see you hitting my local stores! Wish I would have bumped into you! Happy hunting!
How much was the Russell’s 15 in the first store?
Crazy to see you hunting in my hometown.
You missed one liquor store, Cut Rate Liquors.
That Jim beam double oak is solid
That outro blues is killer brewzle
Don’t sleep on the grocery stores. My local grocer had JD SBBP ryes for $63.99. And they raffled off BTACs this year too.

Bro you have good energy and very acknowledge I'm not into but some you have said was good I brought
Sippin on a Barker's 7 High Rye Bourbon watching this.....cheers guys
$200 for that WT 8 year seems crazy. Paid $54 for mine at state min in Michigan.
It sat on the shelf at our local grocery store for $50, that price is outrageous
Everyone walking right past the Maker's 46 Cask Strength. It's a banger.
I love that the liquor store was playing gimme shelter
I don't even drink but keep finding myself watching these videos. 😂

WT70 I have 3 bottles on my shelf lol. I paid msrp
That large bottle of Weller Special Reserve is $45 in East Texas
Great video Enjoyed watching
TJ the Trade Water you picked up has a Single Barrel that is really good for the price.
Glenfiddich - Yes.
That corner Creek is legit, had that years ago
The usual pass at the IW Harper 15😅…you are sleeping on that bottle.
Gotta go to Chattanooga!!!
Old world Barton is a sleeper!
floor whiskey in Ohio is allocated on or near allocation day. You can find travellers, weller, lux row, ect.

Those prices are stupid high. Got my George t stagg for 650 on secondary. And Weller antiques for 90 all day.
Ah man I live in Mt Washington. If this was on Friday we probably just missed y'all. We were at the Kroger's wine and spirits grabbing a few things.
ET new is alright for the cost, cheers...

Can you find out why in Australia we can only get one type of Benchmark.
This is a great bourbon, and I’m sure they do about 8 different types.
Much appreciated

That Wild Turkey 70th anniversary is sitting on shelves at the Pennsylvania stores right now for 50.00 MSRP
Maybe do some fast food reviews, for viewer content. I love reviews.
Shoppe is an archaic spelling of shop. It's just supposed to make the place "sound" fancier.
Corner Creek is made by Kentucky Artisan Distillery in Crestwood KY. Same people that do Jefferson's.
