more of these bourbon hunting videos, please! This was fun. Hunting is one of the funest parts of the hobby.
Can't agree more. Love these type of videos.
Don't take this the wrong way or anything but.. I tend to enjoy the drinking the most.
Most fun*
I visited a Total Wine just outside Louisville while up there on my almost-perfect Kentucky distillery visit weekend. It was a treat for me, since I have nowhere even close to that kind of selection in a single store living in the alcohol wasteland of Alabama (Lord help me). After wandering around a bit, looking I'm sure like a couple of awestruck teenagers at a concert, we heard a guy ask if we were looking for anything in particular. He was one of the employees there and we struck up a conversation. He poured us a couple samples of some bourbons they were clearing out and we just had a ball sitting there talking whiskey history with him. As we turned to leave he said, "Hold on. I may have something special for you" and pulls out a couple bottles of Blantons. Now I know that doesn't seem like a big deal to you guys up there, but for us it was truly special; Blantons without a ridiculous secondary markup? Gold. Anywho, that one act of kindness put Total Wine on my fav stores list for life. I just need to find one closer... ;) Great show, lady and gent. Cheers,
That's a great story. Our TW's in MN filter all the allocated stuff out the back door into their own trunks while telling customers lies about never getting any in.
Same State problem😩. Both TW’s in Atlanta are worth the trip. Also if you get to SC, Columbia is good also…just remember SC does NOT sell liquor on Sunday.
I’ve been on RUclips for over ten years. I’ve commented on maybe two videos. This is your best video of the year. More of this type of hunting content. So much fun going on the journey with you.
Thank you so much!! 🥃
Sarah: Should I go out with $1,000 and pick up a bunch of whiskey, whatever I can find?
Me: Yes.
Sarah: No.
Chad: No.
Me: …No.
It baffles me that Buffalo Trace and Baby Saz are on the “allocated” table.
That’s Sams Club bottles for me
@NoName99 NoFace88 I wouldn't say it's nothing special. It's pretty decent actually.
Everything Buffalo Trace puts out is overpriced due to demand and people not understanding there are better bourbons out there for less.
People are crazy these days. Baby Saz is almost always on the shelf here but BT is less common. I can’t believe people are paying $100 for Bookers. It was $40 for the longest. It didn’t magically get twice as good.
Seriously I can get buffalo trace for $32 off the shelf in GA
Great video. People talk about hunting whiskey, but never really show what it looks like. Valuable content for people getting into the game.
love the newer variety of content! keep up the great new ideas! also jelly of the bourbon available! on the allocated table i think i go McKenna just because i've never had the opportunity to taste it.
Great video! You got 3-4 more bottles than we were expecting. Nice work and keep them coming.
Also, the $1000 is an investment into your business/channel. They may end up being featured in upcoming videos, or for research.
Big difference from someone
spending $1000 randomly on 10 bottles.
I loved this video. Keep up the work guys! Cheers! Drink more bourbon 👌🏻
Yes, more of this! Really interesting 👍👍 Cheers from Sweden! 🇺🇸
Great video, love that it's what a realistic random Saturday would look like. Would love to see these quarterly just so people outside of Kentucky can get an idea for the time of year they're visiting.
No wonder I can’t find anything good at my local stores… you all are store-hopping my go-to spots and picking my stores clean! 😉
This is awesome. I live in Lexington, so it's nice to see the local spots.
This is a great episode! I live in Montana and the struggle is real! When you passed on the first Booker’s I freaked out, then you kept running across it! Haven’t seen a Bookers in three years!
Awesome video. Very cool to see you going through multiple stores in KY and seeing what's on your shelves compared to here. Lots of nice finds and I think you did great. Cheers Chad and Sara!
The best!!! So glad you did this episode. I’m a huge fan of yours and thanks to you I’ve become a proof hound. 🙌🏾
That was a great video. I've often wondered what Bourbon shopping would be like in KY. I love Bourbon shopping in the US (I'm from Canada)! So much variety, but I've only made it to Indiana and Binny's in IL. So jealous to see OGD at Costco.
Bourbon hunting is the best! I always look forward to it
I love your videos. Your doing a great job and your knowledge of the whiskey that you're reviewing is great. I'm an old man who has been tasting whiskey for over 45 years. I have a small collection. I only give advice to a select group of friends. Keep up your great work.
First time caller,
Long time listener...
Fun Video Chad and Sara,
I love you guys!!
Great idea and of course jealous of all the options you have to choose from! This should be a 1a and 1b video where the 2nd part is doing a tasting of everything you bought in the 1st part!
Loved this! you hit my Kroger and Ernie's is right down the road. My bourbon hunting today turned up Maker's BRT-01 and BRT-02.
Awesome video! Love this content!!
It can be an expensive habit. There are so many good bottles out there without paying for unicorns. I really enjoy hunting for bourbons. Right now, I am on pain medication and cannot drink alcohol, that sucks.
Dry month here too :/
Nicely done, refreshingly fun to go with you 'hunting' in your home turf. Loved the c.u. of Sara, great skin, eyes green maybe? No tasting stations here in MD. I didn't even know they existed. I would go wild if they were. Thks
This is a great new video and I hope you'll make more of the hunt videos. I hope you and you're families are all safe from the floods.
You two bourbon-hunting could easily be its own channel. You could do this in every state and I’d watch them all, maybe even do an online version of what bottles you can find at online retailers.
Fantastic video more of these . looked like fun day .
Really like the shopping video! Keep up the good work guys. Cheers
Please do more of these. Great video!
Very timely and helpful video. Making my first trip to Lexington and Louisville in just a couple weeks… with a similar budget that I’m sure to blow.
Great content and lots of fun to watch and think about doing myself. Thanks!!
This demonstrates why I appreciate shopping in VA; I don’t need to worry about price gouging. The fact that the VA ABC is the only store to purchase distilled spirits in VA makes me feel great… of course I have access to other sources within the state.
Absolutely loved this video. Was different compared to others. Also gives me a better idea of good bourbon and prices
"On the Hunt with Chad and Sara". (you can use that if you like) Looks like you had fun and you picked up some good ones. Just a FYI, you may find the Benchmark Bottled in Bond a bit more tasty than the full proof. Those all would be fun to do side by side. "Nice for the price" is my motto. and on a last note: Beautiful eyes Sara. And yes, you are a handsome lad Chad. (poetry) Cheers!
I have fellow bourbon hunter friends and it's crazy how availability and prices vary around the country (I live in PA, which is state run so prices are decent but not so much availability). Seeing more like this would be helpful for fellow hunters to understand pricing and when to jump on things or hold off.
Great video! I really liked it for a reason different from most of the commenters: I was in FL (Kissimmee) 2 weeks ago and got a Calumet 16 ($150) and Blue Run Reflection ($90) at a small mom and pop. I thought they were good prices - not too marked up - and the video confirmed it! Also bought (and drank) Redwood Empire - Lost Monarch and Widow Jane 10 - none of which I can get in PA. Thanks for the great channel
Plz do more of these, enjoyed this !👍
Great show, and I thought y'all did a great job! You have an advantage there in KY. We visited the bourbon trail in late Feb this year, and my mantra was to not buy anything I couldn't get in CA. That left mostly distillery specials which was fine...except for Heaven Hill - they had nothing (miffed)! Good tasting but what a disappointment. Wish they would all save something aside for tasting tours, like Buffalo Trace did. Anyway, as for me on that table, I would have picked the EH Taylor, Blood Oath, or OKI - none of those make it out to CA very often. Like Kris says below, we don't have those tasting areas like in your Liquor Barn out here in CA - wow! Cheers!
As someone who works from home I usually go on my lunch break to find new bottles, blood oath for 85 and EH small batch for 65. Have been my best finds. just keep hunting! Love the video
Great video do more of these. Interesting to see how it is in KY. Here in PA it’s vastly different
You're fortunate to have so many good spots to hunt. Many places have only a few small stores without much selection.
We didn’t know about Total Wine putting rare ones out on Saturday mornings. We have been looking for Blood Oath for a while. After watching this video, my brother went to Total Wine in Houston this morning and found it. We are super excited.
Great episode. I can identify with the hunt for sure.
Cool upload, It's good to see what's on the shelves in US stores, being from across the pond in UK. Cheers.
Great show all, keep up the good work!
Love this video concept, more pls
Thanks for the video 🥃 hopefully it helps people spend their money wisely
Awesome video!! I’m currently hunting for the new ECBP with no success. The last 2 sat on the shelves and this one has been a ghost so far but maybe it’ll start showing up soon. 🤞
Great video! You won't be disappointed when you get that Blackened rye
I’ve got the Calumet 16 and it is wonderful.
Top of my hunting list is Wild Turkey Masters Keep 17 and Russell’s 13.
Really like your light fixtures in the background
Good haul, money well spent 😊
When u have Patreon money, of course u should spend it! 😆😊😉
Love the bourbon hunting videos! Wish Virginia had tasting bars! Great video! This helps us so much with our Kentucky trip in September! Cheers🥃
having done 3 bourbon trips to Kentucky on various occasions, was surprised that many allocated things were still not available or places that had them were very much overcharging, so try to know the value of anything you're looking for.
The people at Liiquor Barn seem to be the most personable, and the tastings there are a great place to geek out.
Maker's Mark is a must stop, and Yellowstone (passion project of Steven Beam) was really cool. Old Forester is the place to schedule to go if you are into woodworking or want to see barrels made and toasted/flamed.
If you walk out of Old Forester and turn right, the restaurant on the corner has something like 1800 whiskeys on the menu.
This video is actually super cool!
I have found bourbon zen. I have my daily drinking favorites that are easy on the wallet. Gone are my days of hunting and spending lots on whiskey.
Yea, me too. Its not even fun anymore. Between priced and lower quality im kind of over this hobby...
Excited to hear about that Calumet 16! Still crazy to me how most of the bourbon on that one-per table was (at one time) budget, average whisky, no one ever hunted
super fun episode. do more!
Can't wait to bourbon hunt on my vacation in july, you'd be surprised how limited our selection in just across the Mississippi River in Missouri. I had never heard of Benchmark before you guys!
This was fun to watch! Different than what it’s like in Illinois. It was interesting to see what’s available in your region
Love this video y’all
I’m heading to Louisville in October so I’m really excited to visit some distilleries and do some hunting. This video was fun.
This is a great video. Very fun. You missed out passing on the Woodford Batch Proof 2022. It’s terrific.
Really wanting that Calumet 16! Cool video.
Enjoyed your bourbon hunting day! Like to see more.
this was a fun video. thanks for hunting. didn't know so much was available in Kentucky. Here is South Texas don't get to see much. thanks and cheers
You guys are lucky! I think in MD at Total Wine you have to be a Grand Reserve member to buy allocated bottles. Great video as always.
I got that Saints Alley The Herald batch 1 from Total Wine in Woodbury, MN on Super Bowl Sunday this year. It was their last one and the guy working in the whiskey aisle suggested it to me and let me sample some. Absolutely wonderful juice! I still have a bit left of it. I will be sad when it’s gone.
Great episode. Need to do this again, but do one hitting mom and pop stores, and one hitting big box stores. The compare the two in separate episode. Love this content though!
Love the hunting video!! I also love hunting! Thank you!!
Love hunt videos! Mckenna sis all over the place out here in mass. I keep passing it for some reason. But seeing EHT and Weller on the shelves to me is just nuts 🤯🤯🤯
Love this type of video :)
Fun video. I’m typically looking for scotch or occasionally Irish Whiskey. I’d agree that Costco usually has the best (or damn near) prices but a weak selection. Impulse buys to be sure when I’m doing other shopping. The Bookers I got at Costco was 83.99. All the Total Wines are in different counties. A fun trip, but when I factor in gas & bridge toll, they’re not a bargain.
Keep doing these videos!!
Great score!
2:58 I saw a bottle of ultimo argumento tequila - super cool bottle that comes apart too. Neat.
Total Wine is one of my favorites. Lots of options and typically great prices.
Great Video, with the SmokeWagon for the price of the Single vs UnCut I always get UnCut but I actually enjoy Straight when it's under $25 much more....soooooo Crushable.... But def enjoyed this video a lot. Neat to see what it's like in KY vs how it is where I'm at and other locations througout the USA.
My trunk hauls look a lot like this since my best shopping area is a couple hundred miles away so I get all the goodies at once and I'm set for 6 months if my timing is right, checking online inventory is a plus before you leave the house.
That was great, and no one would think either of you super nice people are flexing. I do get to visit your great state at least once per year so this was helpful
Love the Vid, Fun
You two are exemplary.And ya get to try th best.Good on ya.I’ve always enjoyed Your work.
Thank you so much 😀
Loved this! Nice to see other states have options. This would never happen in PA
I think the most I've spent on whiskey in one go is $250 (90 or 100 proof juice is the vast majority of my purchases, as I'm a relative noob still trying to determine my flavor wheelhouse) so the idea of spending $500 in one pop (good grief, forget $1,000) makes me positively queasy. Those tasting stations make absolutely green w/ jealousy.
All were FANTASTIC PICS 👏 👌 🙌, DON'T FORGET TO SEND SOME MUCH NEEDED RAIN TO THE SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS AREA 😀 😊.
Just got home from NOLA… went to Sazerac House museum. It’s free to attend just need a reservation. TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!
Thought that liquor barn looked familiar glad to find a channel in my area.
👍🏿Great🔥commentary!
That "allocated table" at Total Wine made me LOL!😆😂🤣
Smh...this is one of the reasons why I'm now officially retired from the bourbon/whiskey games!
👊🏿But, Good luck to the rest of you diehard bourbon lovers!😀
Cool video. Wish my local TW did the allocated table thing. I don’t mind waiting in line a bit.
Love the video
Oh I like this video idea!!!
Awesome video
I was able to pick up the Blackened Rye the Lightning for $75 in Ohio a few weeks ago.
Good news in Oregon. The prices of bottles is regulated by the state so you won't have price variability. Bookers is $89.95 at every store you will visit.
My head exploding seeing the Ironroot Harbinger sitting on the shelf at your Total Wine & More! Ugh, here in Texas where it’s made you never see it on the shelf.
This would make a great challenge video throughout whiskey tube.
Hey guys. I'm up in Louisville and rarely find the goodies that you guys found. Seems like I need to start bourbon hunting out your way. Maybe I can go with you guys next time. 😁
yeah the Indian owned stores were horrible when I went last weekend
Col Taylor would have been coming home with me, never see any in Colorado, but I loved the video.
Benchmark Full Proof 🔥💯
