The "Lets just say I enjoy the hunt more than I enjoy the liquor" guy is 100% a reseller
Not all the time . Some people enjoy the hunt and stuff over drinking it
I haven’t resold 1 bottle that I have but I enjoy the hunt more than the drinking
I enjoy hunting them, I then mostly give them away (mostly for Christmas) but, when I know someone would appreciate it more than me I'll give it to them. we don't have a lottery here though, just when I walk in and see them.
Nothing wrong with that. He's putting in work if so
@@239fla8"enjoy the hunt" 🤡🤣
The great weller debacle was an exceptionally impressive blunder
I have been binge watching these bourbon hunting videos for 2 days now..
They are extremely interesting and well shot.
What's more,I don't drink bourbon! or any spirits for that matter..
Although,I have recently gotten into red wine,so i can relate to the tasting notes.
Great videos.
new subscriber.
Thank you so much! That means a lot. I'm glad you enjoy the videos. :)
For most people moving the liquor stores into the private sector is good. For bourbon hunters however you can forget ever getting allocated stuff in a private state. I've checked 4 stores per week for a year, have never found a weller, blantons or eagle rare. In private states the allocated bottles go to owners and there friends.
I bought a Bookers in Georgia today. $99, I've also got an eagle rare from the same store and that's just driving by as I travel. But yes if you are actually winning in the lottery you'll get better bottles.
Either that or they mark them up to secondary price
I know it’s not bourbon related, but I love the 280zx! I had one in high school.
I miss the good old days of bourbon hunting!
That big fella at 16 is a reseller for sure
Man, it kills me to hear you say Blanton’s, Eagle Rare, and others are everywhere and easy to find. I get laughed at when I go in and ask if they have any.
Same bro. Or I have to pay 300 percent markup. Or whatever the guy behind the counter wants to try and get out of me.
Nice Datsun 240
Thank you! -Will
Yea forget the bourbon… Nice color on that!
@@Brewzlewhat's the mod list look like?
I didn't know that Datsun was a bourbon hmmm 🤔🤔🤔🤔💯💯👍👍😎
Yeah I spotted that too!
Another fun video! As far as that trade, if you are both happy then so be it and you opened your bottle right then and there with him so I do not see any issues with it! Bottles are made to be opened and drank! That seemed like more of a swap with a friend than a random trade too so I am sure at some point you "lose" out on what gets exchanged and sharing is caring.
Buddy should not have "mixed emotions". He gets an opportunity to buy allocated liquor at msrp because the state controls the prices, making both the price AND the opportunity fair. In Georgia (where we don't have ABC stores), I have an "opportunity" to buy Weller's 12 Year for $199, while in some ABC states, people are paying $50-70. I've seen Full Proof (and Birthday Bourbon) for $650 in South Carolina. So the opportunity is fair, but the price isn't.
There should be laws against states that have a monopoly on liquor to sell above retail prices.
@@xxxmaddogxxx101 Where are state-owned stores selling above msrp? It's typically the non-state owned stores doing this.
Even if not at MSRP, at ABCs North of the 41st it's within $20 of MSRP and sitting on a shelf. They go fast though and we never know when they come in. No lottery on allocated stuff or here. Less variety, no store picks but near MSRP atleast.
Birthday Bourbon gets up around $1,000-1,200 here in Louisville.
Here's an idea. If you apply but don't get on, the next time your name goes in the hat an extra time. If you miss again, you have 3 names in the hat. And so on, until you are more and more likely to hit. If you hit, you are back to 1 chance the next time.
Good idea
Im leaving opelika to move back to valley, cool to see a local successful youtuber. Just bought my first ever whiskey after watching you for a couple weeks.
everytime i have owa im reminded of how much i love it. top 5 bottle for sure
Would LOVE to try a Birthday Bourbon. And Zbiotics WORK!! Love them, best thing if you are old and going to be drinking.
Great job Will!!!
Ill take abc for retail all day over normal states for 5x retail
Red Clay is where it’s at. Can’t wait to see what y’all come up with.
Red Clay in Opelika was one of my favorite places around Auburn! While you're there you've got to check out Bow and Arrow as well as The Hound!
Brewzle ripped that guy off. He could’ve got 3 OWA 3 Blanton 2 eagle rare for that at least haha
Easily took advantage of him.
The guy knew what the bottle was worth and he's helped me drink half of it, so sounds like a good deal for him.
No, you took him and you know it. Own it!!!!
Got one a couple weeks ago. It was amazing
Congrats on the birthday Bourbon!
If you know someone in VÀ almost every store got a case of the JD BP Rye this week. Over 1.2k across the state
Great vid talking to everyone 👍
I’ve never laughed out loud at an ad until I saw your Z-Biotics ad
Great video bud keep up the great work
This guy could have gotten 8 weller 107s for that birthday bourbon lol
As a resident of Mississippi, I'm kinda jealous of the Alabama system. As the guy said at the beginning, at least you guys have a chance to get a bottle at MSRP. I can't tell you the last time I've seen a rare allocated bottled anywhere near MSRP. The rare times I see something like EHT, Weller, etc they're at least 2x MSRP but usually they're reserved for "top customers". Even Eagle Rare that happens to pop up around here is $100. Unfortunately, our state is a huge bottle neck as our system is terrible and all liquor goes through a state run warehouse.
Preach.
We have couple at our store here in SALINAS CA we have a very great selection on whiskey have eagle rare, bday bourbon, E.H taylor rye,single batch and old fitzgerald 12/15 year
Congrats, Love my BD bourbon.
There is quite a large looking liquor store that I have been meaning to go to in Columbus GA, it’s called “The Bottle Shop” seem like it is quite big and it might have some good picks.
Just getting into bourbon and found your channel. Would love to see you come out to CO for a bourbon hunt/try the distilleries. Apparently the altitude gives a unique flavor
We've got one coming soon!
I love when people trade like he did at the end.
I did not expect to see my home town store when I clicked on this video. Nice.
Great video!!!
There is a place in irondale AL that gets those from time to time. Wild place gets random stuff all the time
In England and love your video's mate.
If you’re ever around Massachusetts, Burlington wine and spirits is excellent!!!
In Quebec it’s a full on state monopoly and the lottery is for specific bottles. If you win you just have it shipped to your local SAQ store
You def ripped the guy off.
The guy knew what the bottle was worth and he's helped me drink half of it, so sounds like a good deal for him.
@@Brewzle You knew it was worth 700+. I mean personally. I still would have given him more. But w/e it's his bottle.
My dream bottle 🤩
Fantastic video..thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
I’m in NH and it’s state run liquor. And I like it that way. Keeps everything cheap.
And no taxes
It's crazy hearing people complain about this system. Come to a state like Illinois where you just won't get anything ever and you'll understand. I'd kill for a lottery to at least have a chance. I don't have the time to show up at 8:00am at stores or the money to spend 5k a month at any particular store to get a "relationship". Grass is always greener, but man appreciate that you have a shot there.
Yep, agreed. I live in private state and it's all about spending thousands to get a "chance" at a bottle that's going to be marked up at least 3x retail anyway. I've got family in control states and they win bottles every year in lotteries I'll never even see on a shelf. The ABC thing seems like a pain and the free market looks appealing from a distance, but it doesn't favor the common man one bit.
The gentleman at about 1:30 mentioned not having ABC would mean being able to get stuff at MSRP, but that depends on the stores in a place like GA (where I am). We have some package stores that just mark the allocated stuff up knowing people will eventually buy it not worrying about the space it's taking on the shelves. There is one near me that keeps Eagle Rare at $80 and they get folks that will pay. Luckily the store attached to our Costco sells at MSRP, but it's hit or miss.
💯! Without state run stores you can forget MSRP. Same deal in Tennessee. Blanton’s +$100, E.H Taylor +$90, Eagle Rare +$80 and it’s either pay or go without.
💯 False! With a caveat. It depends on who can sell liquor and what involvement the state still has. California of all places has generally cheap liquor, Washington State is super high, when they went away from state controlled they added tax. Louisiana is stupid cheap if Walmart or a grocery store has something. Angels envy and heaven hill 7 year are both available for $40. I've seen the whole lineup of Knob Creeks at Walmart for less than I've seen them at ABC states.
Good morning! To the Nose of North America. When ya see the white Lincoln ya know we drinkin.
I went hunting today and picked up a bottle of Rebel 100. It’s a wheated bourbon and actually very good .
I live in Illinois and the secondary market is terrible for example a bottle of stagg is 269.99. But old grandad 114 i got 3 bottles for 28.99 a bottle
And old grandad bottles in bond is 23.99 and fairly easy to find
In Oregon they centralize the lottery and ship the bottle in your name to a liquor store of your choice.
I'd take a Michter's Sour Mash toasted over that 23 Birthday all day. They've consistently gone down hill and up in price the last few years in my opinion.
Hi brewzie check out st. Augustine brewery. In st.augustine florida. And theres 1 up here in statesville N.C. think its called southern distillery
Ha, try finding any allocated in Iowa at a retail site for retail price. GOOD LUCK!
Got the bday today. Joined the club.
Coming from Ohio to Mobile, Alabama on the 9th/10th of November. Any good liquor stores to hit along I-65? Might have some trade material as well. Love the channel!!!
Have an allocation list and sell them as they come in with one bottle off the list per week per government ID. The Government ID should be scanned and go in a statewide sheet per week so you can't double dip stores
Yep, scan their Alabama drivers license duringpurchasing. I've heard of folks using multiple emails to register on-line for quarterlys. Require the Alabama Driver license in the email registration.
Hi again the st. Augustine brewery has a good whiskey/bourbon, super cane vodka and 1 or 2 others. And a few blocks down there's a winery. They make some good wine some fortified. And theres a chocolate factory there. Your wife might like. Then there's 1 in statesville think they make a bourbon or 2. All 3 sale in house
Recently joined your channel on Patreon. 😮 not to sound weird but I've watched many channels (religiously) almost and never joined. I'm a new Bourbon/Whiskey collector. I really enjoy it when you film 📽️🎥 going into different stores. I love seeing sooo many different things. Keep it up #bro 🎉 not that it matters but I'm a big #garrisonbros fan
Appreciate it! Glad you're enjoying the videos.
@brewzle thinking about getting a crittenden distillery bottle a blue bolt 248 but not sure if I should spend the money on something else like Jack Daniel’s sb rye
Recently started getting back into bourbon. As a rum drinker, I like sweeter spirits. I tried OF 86, Buffalo Trace, Four Roses Single Barrel, but none really hit my pallet just right(but all were pretty good). Just tried McFarlane’s Reserve Cask Strength, bingo. Surprised a Total Wine brand got me. Gonna try MM Cask Strength next to compare. Looks like I like wheat.
Don’t forget that it’s okay to add a little water! Cuts the proof down, takes out some of the burn, and allows you to enjoy more of the flavor
Give the Woodford reserve double oaked or old forester 1910 a try. Easy drinking and on the sweeter side
Dallas total wine is loaded with the rye, easy pickup at the total wine. $69 a bottle. 131 proof
What a beautiful 280z
You did rip him off bad. Can’t do that TJ.
The guy knew what the bottle was worth and he's helped me drink half of it, so sounds like a good deal for him.
@@Brewzle good deal for him or you he’s the one the won the chance to buy. You took advantage or him and you know it.
@@jamesnunn9648 Not sure I understand the hate on the trade, other than the rest of us wish we could do it 😆 Some people just don't care that much about specific bottles. No one got "ripped off"; it's just bourbon. And based on what I've been hearing about the latest BB, I think the other guy might have come out ahead!
Some jealous little girls in the comments section of this one. 🤣
@@Brewzle I want to apologize for my post as I did not know that part of the agreement. Sorry.
A great liquor store is Papa Joe's in Richmond, Indiana!
I have a liquor store in west palm beach florida and I just got the double eagles rare
Sweet Z car!
Here's the problem with kicking the state out of the liquor business. You end up with what we have up here in WA. A 20.5% sales tax AND $7/liter tax
This last one in Mobile, I was 2nd on walk-in line. On the lottery, 13 didn’t show up including #1, 4, 7, & 9th so I ended being #39. Got the 107 & Elijah Craig Ryder Cup. Didn’t see no Jack Daniels Sinatra at my store
Love your sons 280zx I have a 71’ 240 myself
I'm sure he would love pictures of that!
Another great vid! Hey is that a 240 or a 280 that your son has? That's a good looking car!
Love your videos man, I'm just getting in to bourbon. Always been into it with they typical Jack and coke or Evan Williams, but lately been starting my journey without the mix looking. Got an OF the other day that I like, and have been looking for a Buffalo Trace to try it as well.
Also its fun seeing you down around Auburn, live down here in Pensacola now, but wife and I meet at Auburn and lived there about 10 years before we moved down here so always fun seeing the old stomping grounds! Keep the videos coming!!!
Thank you! It's an 83 280zx! Thanks for the support of the channel. Buffalo trace is definitely worth trying! War Eagle!
That Datsun though!
Like from lithuania!❤
sweet 280Z Will
Nice looking Datsun!
Thank you! -Will
They the regular JDBP Rye instead of the advertised JD Heritage Rye. (Twice Barreled) I saw the same JDBPR sitting in the shelf at three stores in Georgia in the last few weeks!! PRIVATIZE!!!
Your vlog shows the absolute best of Americans at home. Someone wins third place in line they get congratulated, where I live they would get hassled. Or is it just Bourbon people are great people?
Where are you from, if you don't mind me asking?
Anytime I've ever lined up for whiskey everybody's real friendly, fun way to meet new people and have a chat to pass the time. All positive vibes, unless we're talking about the weather haha.
The Weller debacle will never not sting.
I'll never recover
Pennsylvania offers a lottery on state website. If you win (and your purchase) they ship it to you or a local state store
Crazy what you gotta deal with for stuff you I see in stores up in Michigan
Love to see a review on James E. Pepper bourbons!
Then Peerless!
damn you def ripped him off on that birthday bourbon trade… guy could’ve got a gts for that swap lol
I told him what it was going for on secondary, he set his desired trade. He knows he can get any bottle in my selection if he wants it. That’s how friends are.
Friends also don’t take advantage of a situation like that. Even if he says that’s fine you still give him more instead of bending him over like that
Beer.... Gravy gravity stouts. Blend barrels
Without a lottery, you'll be more able to grab a bottle of BB im MS. But you'll pay about $1000 for it. Thats what I've seen shops asking for it, which is ludacris
Great video, wish I was there for the event.
5:35 I enjoy your program lol
I got some weller red and will trade . Up here in Ohio it’s easier to find .
If your in east Mo. swing by A1 Wine & Spirits. St. Peters, Mo. Awesome store!
What are your thoughts on pinhook. In my opinion i just dont understand why the palate is the way it is across several of their bottles. Ive tried store picks, up and down their verticals of bourbon and I’m just underwhelmed. Thoughts?
If you wanted Birthday Bourbon, you went to the wrong Montgomery. 😂
I made sure I got a bottle of 107 because of you. Let's see how close to ORVW10 it tastes like!
I may take heat for this, but here is the answer on how to distribute bottles: the free market.
I'm in Georgia, so everything I can get is just based on if I can find it and if I'm willing to pay. Nothing great is MSRP.
20 years from now, we will still be singing the song of the great Weller debacle.
You need to try WIGLE Whiskey out of Pittsburgh, PA!!! Great craft juice!
Can we see Will's Nissan 280? That things CLEAN.
What is the best first bourbon bottle for starter?
Don’t feel bad…I’ve never won the lottery either. I did go to Maisano's in Ocean Springs a few weeks ago & got a Weller 107.
Oregon has a state liquor store system. The b@stards that run it were saving the allocated bottles for themselves or their friends. They never had a lottery,you had to know which day bottles dropped. I was able to finally get a bottle of Blantons when I figured this out. I live in MO now and the local does a loyalty drawing. I got a Weller green label at that one. Much better in the private sector.
280ZX YES!
I need to know what that Venezuelan rum pick was. My wife is from
Venezuela and their rum is amazing.
I live in NC near the SC border which is all I need in order to realize how much having a state run ABC sucks. I have to go across the border to get any kind of a selection, and the prices are better to boot.
me too..shelby area. Sux around here to get anything. Frugal mcdugal near carowinds has good stuff
@@tbryant2002 yes. I like Stateline Elite lately, lots of store picks.
New subscriber.
I love Glenfiddich 15yr or 18yr.
Have you ever tried it or reviewed?
I need a birthday bourbon for my daughter, her birthday is Sept 2nd! We want one to share a pour every year on her birthday!
