I really like that you hunt out small distilleries. These are whiskies that everyday people can actually come across, and your reviews are helping me decide which ones to pick up.
Yeah if im out looking its basically never for buffalo trace products. I just find most of their stuff very lacking in comparison to most of the stuff on the shelf, and benchmark fullproof smokes most of the harder to get bt stuff anyway
Worth a note. In Atlanta you have Five Points, which is downtown and sketchy and not a place to be after dark, and you have Little Five Points which is kinda hipster and quirky and can be a fun hangout place. Mixing up the two can lead to some ... interesting moments.
When budget permits, you should come to South Africa. There isn’t a lot of SA whisky but there are a few like Bain’s Cape Mountain or Limpopo Reserve. Plus beyond whisky it’ll make a fantastic holiday for your family. Bains is from the Cape Town area and Limpopo Reserve is from close to Kruger National Park, which is where everyone goes when they come to SA
@@Ticonderous1 That may be but you have to remember $100 AUD is equivalent to about $66 USD, we're talking the equivalent of spending about $151 AUD on one bottle at the $100 USD mark. The prices over there are also likely higher due to transportation and import tariffs.
New southern revival is good stuff made in Charleston SC. The distillery literally brought back a type of corn called Jimmy red corn (grown in the low country) back from almost extinction and began distilling the grain once they had enough yield. Jimmy red corn used to be used to make whiskey in the past and is now back. Very good and unique pour
Thank you for supporting small operations!! This is the kind of enthusiasm I hope for the Arizona wine and liquor industry we have here. You have my comment and like.
Love your channel! I honestly was not that into bourbon until I started watching your channel. Funny enough I live in KY and my sister had her wedding at Buffalo Trace. Thanks for the good content. I had some crazy shit happen to me in Atlanta also like 2 years ago, I witnessed a robbery lol pretty crazy.
I AM cracking up every time you say you are over budget and still have more places to go. I do the same thing all the time. You have great content and i love the exposure to the small guys getting it done. Keep it coming my man!
Would love to see Leiper’s Fork bottled in bond make a feature on the channel. Farm to bottle, cool stuff going on over there. Haven’t tried it myself but planning a trip to the distillery soon.
It's som much better when a trend begins and it leads to social networking everywhere you go! It is so easy to start and carry on a conversation in the BOURBON aisles or with staff at local stores and stores you visit when you travel. Lot of great AMERICANS still around!
You were close to Elemental, which is a cool shop that doles out their allocations fairly (announced in advance, first-come first-serve) and does a good job of having interesting stuff for a small shop. Also close to Greene’s is Pitch & Putt. It’s a *tiny* shop that punches above their weight. They get Wellers, Eagle Rare and a ton of hard-to-get stuff. They’re actually reasonable for daily-driver bourbon but can get pricy on the truly hard-to-find issues. Cheers!
Next time you are in town give My Friend's Bottle Shop a try. They are a little closer to the stadiums/downtown and dont charge above MSRP however allocated is handled through the rewards system. They do some store picks that you might be in to that are easy to get your hands on. The staff is top tier, very friendly and helpful.
Love what you are doing. I’m new to the bourbon world. You have definitely inspired me and I’m learning as much as can from you. If you ever want to come Chipley fl just north of Panama City let me know. Keep up the hard work.
A shame that tower didn't make a bigger impact. Living in ATL, I've learned that Tower is the place for allocations. Especially on black friday, where people camp out for msrp selections of about 25 different allocated bourbons. Everything that's hard to get, they get their hands on
New South revival is here in my city of Charleston, SC. Yes the distill their own product. If I may recommend one, their Jimmy red Corn! It’s a young bourbon, however it’s an organic nearly extinct corn that was brought back by local farms here and it’s what they use in their product! Peanut brittle and honey. They are pricey, but unique and delicious.
Revival is making some good juice out of South Carolina. Yeah I agree with you about Tower its hard to get a rapport with someone. They have a great selection.
You have to hunt at sprayberry bottle shop. They have done over 350 barrel pick at that store! People come from out of state every day to see what they have. Their collection is 🔥
Just got back from The Kentucky Bourbon Trial. Did Woodford Reserve, Castle and Key, Buffalo Trace, Whiskey Thief, Angels Envy and Evan Williams. On the way out of town, spur of the moment, we stopped off at Bluegrass Distillery on Lexington on the way to the airport to kill some time. Really small operation, super cool employees, super cool story and really good bourbon. Our favorite stop for the whole weekend by far!
You gotta try Myer Farm Distillers from western NY. Hard to beat their John Myer New York Straight Bourbon Whiskey - Single Barrel. Notes of black pepper and cherry blossom on the nose; lemon verbena and fresh-rolled barley on a plush velvet mouth-feel; red raspberry and a rich butter caramel finish. What more do you want?
I knew it was gonna be good video when you run into a fellow bourbon hunter. Watching your channel is like watching a professor in the sense it’s just enjoyable/entertaining to watch because they are passionately knowledgeable on the subject.
Next time you're out in GA stop by Minks Package on the north end of the city, nicer area of town and really great selection, including barrel picks (I'm not enough of a bourbon guy to remember any specifics, but their scotch selection is top notch)
Milam sources, if you in central TX, you need to do the run from San Antonio to Hye, reverse, you have Garrison but then going down 281 S you hit Andalusia, then further south, you have Milam but across the street is Real Ale and they do a few whiskeys, then further south, you might want to bypass Rebecca Creek, but in San Antonio you have Ranger Creek, they do a few stellar whiskeys, they do bourbons in large and small cask, a rye, and a mesquite smoked single malt, plus some distillery only releases
I think that New Southern Revival from High Wire Distilling in Charleston SC was their rye, but if you ever see their Jimmy Red straight bourbon, definitely worth picking up. Excellent bourbon and their use of Jimmy Red corn is a great story.
Love what you do man, Im from Fairfield,IL store over here has everything even pappy & wellers full proof, but marked way way up, but if you ever get around Effingham,IL good stuff around there if you look some, good pours in the bar/restaurants, stay safe & have a great day.
Enjoyed the video. I've been to Elemental a couple times, neat shop. I understand why you picked up and put down the MGP Tumbling Dice, but I think that's a great bottle. I have or had 5 of their store pick Tumbling Dice bottles. Its a good one. Keep it up brother.
Revival…You missed a small distillery opportunity. We visited High Wire Distillery in Charleston, SC last week. They use Jimmy Red Corn instead of Yellow Dent. interesting story. The Jimmy Red Classic’s mash bill is 100% Jimmy Red corn.
around your 14:50 mark, you ask about "New South Revival". That is a grain to glass/farm to flask 100% Jimmy Red Corn Whiskey out of Charleston, SC. We just picked a barrel 2 weeks ago, and they celebrate their 10th year this weekend. They are releasing their first BiB this fall, and they make incredible 100% corn and 100% Rye. If you trust Julian Van Winkle, he liked it so much that he sent for a sample of the distillate to run through their machines in Kentucky. He couldn't believe the flavors they could impart with a single grain. If you like cool whiskey, I hope you don't pass it by next time. Consider getting some of the later batches as they began blending some older whiskey in the that same label you saw. Enjoyed the video!
Brewzle. Big fan of the page, love all the content. Would love too see you try a local drink of mine from the fens of England. Called the brain-damage. Made with half pint of beer (any beer of choice) 1 shot of gin, 1 shot of vodka and 1 shot of absinthe. Quick stir and down in one. Keep up the great work and drink happy brother.
Watershed has a great cask strength. Sprayberry Bottle Shop in Marietta had one a while back that was great. Next time you're in town you need to go there and talk with Brij. (He has 15-20 barrel picks at all times)
Found you in the channel just a couple of days ago and think I’ve watched most all of the bourbon hunting videos. I’m pretty sure if you don’t have it already we need a shirt with, “I need to be more selective” on it. Lol
R.M. Rose was born in Atlanta in 1867. It went out during prohibition, but was reborn about 7 years ago in Dillard Ga. They have some good 4 grain, wheaten and high rye bourbons. Also, a bottle in bond.
Green's only does random bourbon drops during the week anymore. They used to do raffles but its almost impossible to get anything these days from them unless you are lucky. Elementals prices are high but they are a very small shop. One of my favorites here.
Nice to see you hunting in my area. Good call about going around at night. I live in the 'burbs of the ATL and I avoid the city as much as posdible. That's some craziness at the hotel!!
I'm in Maryland so it's hard to find some of the allocated stuff. Whenever I see these videos where allocated stuff is just sitting on the shelves for a good price, I wanna just drive and go get em
I know this is way out of the way for you, but if you ever get an opportunity, try Driftless Glen. They’re a small distillery in Baraboo, Wisconsin. Other good choices from J Henry & Sons Bourbon and Limousin Rye.
If you’re ever in Texas, I suggest MKT Red Lantern Bourbon. Small distillery out of Katy, TX. Rich, sweet, but still very complex. And a part of every sale goes to charity, great distillery and very very good bourbon at an affordable price. Paid around $45 in Houston TX at Total Wine.
In my neck of the woods (hey Atlanta has more of those than most big cities)! My buddy owns Elemental. It's an awesome little bottle shop. Green's and Tower are my go-to's. Tower does great random drops and occasionally has some good stuff on the shelves. Green's is more hit or miss usually. You can park in that lot in front of 5 Points for free to go to the liquor store. Otherwise it's a pay lot for all of the folks that come from the suburbs to see L5P (all us natives park on side streets). You were about 4 miles from ASW distillery, so you could've stopped by and checked out more of their selection. Next time! Also, Atlanta is not the big scary place you've made it out to be (you're not alone though). Lived here my whole life and have walked all over the city with no issues. It's like any other city (small ones included) in that there's crazy people mixed in and neighborhoods that are safer than others, but for the most part everybody is as nice and welcoming as you are to them. Also, try Fox Brothers BBQ next time!
ONW (Old Nick Williams) Distillery in Lewisville, NC. AMAZING story and history. Their regular offering is “meh” but their Bottled in Bond is really really solid. I live two mile away from it. Swing by for a drink and let’s hit the distillery.
Haha you ALWAYS have to pay to park at Little Five Points Liquor. That's a very heavy traffic trendy area. And it's called Five Points because 5 different streets converge at one spot. I'm loving these videos, so cool to see you in Atlanta! I love Green's!
Shout out to that woman for knowing her stuff. True connoisseur behind the counter.
I really like that you hunt out small distilleries. These are whiskies that everyday people can actually come across, and your reviews are helping me decide which ones to pick up.
My favorite part is when someone says they're looking for the harder to find stuff. Then they just name buffalo trace products. 😂
Can't find any of their products near me in FL
Yeah if im out looking its basically never for buffalo trace products. I just find most of their stuff very lacking in comparison to most of the stuff on the shelf, and benchmark fullproof smokes most of the harder to get bt stuff anyway
In the West, it is hard to find anything Buffalo Trace, so I get where these guys are coming from
They are fucking good though.
@@craigstuckey319 just most of them are just ok.
Brewzle…you are a national treasure!
this is a fact
*International treasure
Exactly
Agreed 👍
These bourbon hunting videos are my favorite. Keep it up
You should check out Sprayberry Bottle Shop in Marietta, GA. You will be pleased with their selection.
Worth a note. In Atlanta you have Five Points, which is downtown and sketchy and not a place to be after dark, and you have Little Five Points which is kinda hipster and quirky and can be a fun hangout place. Mixing up the two can lead to some ... interesting moments.
When budget permits, you should come to South Africa. There isn’t a lot of SA whisky but there are a few like Bain’s Cape Mountain or Limpopo Reserve. Plus beyond whisky it’ll make a fantastic holiday for your family. Bains is from the Cape Town area and Limpopo Reserve is from close to Kruger National Park, which is where everyone goes when they come to SA
Man, any bottle over $100 gets hard to justify. I rather have 2-3 bottles when spending $100-150.
Facts I'm not doing it anymore
I just buy $10 101 proof and mix it
In Australia , any bottle worth a taste is over $100 ...
@@Ticonderous1 That may be but you have to remember $100 AUD is equivalent to about $66 USD, we're talking the equivalent of spending about $151 AUD on one bottle at the $100 USD mark. The prices over there are also likely higher due to transportation and import tariffs.
@@OneSuaveGrizzly Yeah True that brother... just sucks when i see stuff like that over there for pretty much half the price we have to pay down here..

Everything Leopold Bros. makes is amazing! Their distillery tour is the best I've ever been on...worth a trip to Denver alone!
Live not a mile away from them and agree. They have tapped into gold and are just making incredible spirits.
Hunting videos are definitely on my top of the favorites. But i am loving everything on the channel.
I plan to keep doing them! thanks for the support
Thank you for supporting small operations!! This is the kind of enthusiasm I hope for the Arizona wine and liquor industry we have here. You have my comment and like.
If I had the chance to Bourbon hunt with you, I would buy lunch, or at least let you pick the restaurant. Great video.
yeah that guy had some plans he wasn't willing to state on camera to skip out on lunch and bourbon hunting like that.
Georgia is an underrated place to hunt whiskey. Great video. Be safe

I had some crazy shit happen to me in Atlanta also like 2 years ago, I witnessed a robbery lol pretty crazy.
Gotta go to My Friends bottle shop next time! And Fox bros for the BBQ
I wish I was bourbon hunting. I was the dummy who sat in the parking lot during the Taylor Swift concert.
That’s rough!
😂
I was killing time, driving around ATL with some of the worst drivers in the country. Fun!
I AM cracking up every time you say you are over budget and still have more places to go. I do the same thing all the time. You have great content and i love the exposure to the small guys getting it done. Keep it coming my man!
You will not be disappointed with the watershed. I've got both barrel proof bottles they sell and they are amazing

I drive a truck for Walmart out of Arizona and have been to our Walmart DC in Opelika a few times this year. It's beautiful out there!
Wish I had known you were in Atlanta! I could have recommended some great spots. Next time you're in the ATL you HAVE to eat at Fox Bros BBQ.
Dude. The family traveled to Florida this last week and motivated me to hit spots on the way back to NE. Keep them coming.

I’m a new viewer and newer bourbon lover too. These videos are awesome. Thank you for posting these!
Revival is making some good juice out of South Carolina. Yeah I agree with you about Tower its hard to get a rapport with someone. They have a great selection.
i'd personally rather buy some lower end bottles (wt101, EW BIB, etc) than a higher priced bottle.

I like watching Brewzle bourbon hunt almost as much as I enjoy bourbon hunting myself! Easier on my budget for sure!
Hunting is part of the fun that feeling when you score something you have been researching and looking for is amazing
Gotta check out Moonrise Distillery in Clayton, GA. Cool little operation up in the mountains!
This was quite the interesting video. Thanks for the upload!
I knew it was gonna be good video when you run into a fellow bourbon hunter.
Watching your channel is like watching a professor in the sense it’s just enjoyable/entertaining to watch because they are passionately knowledgeable on the subject.
Traverse City Whisky Company Barrel Proof Rye is top notch. I haven’t tried their barrel proof bourbon yet but it’s in my liquor cabinet.

Tumblin Dice 4 Year Rye has been one of the best bottles I've had but I haven't found it since.
Keep the hunting videos coming! Also, for $300 I'd rather have 4 really good bottles than 1 (hopefully) great one.

At 19:18 this just cracked me up. Glad I watched the whole video. I've had similar experiences in Atlanta. Stay safe.
You teach me to go to the small out of the way places... I'm learning a great lesson
Tumblin Dice, Red label....great stuff. Yea, it's MGP, but anything from Proof and Wood (mark on rear label) is going to be outstanding.
Irons One only bottles for North Alabama. Boy do I love his whiskey and business philosophy.

was so happy when you grabbed the old fourth, Greens had a barrel pick of it that i still have little bit left of and its fantastic.
Late for my usual comment as I was on vacation, but as always commenting and liking to make these bourbon hunting videos profitable for you and yours.
ASW and Old Fourth are still mostly putting out finished MGP juice. Might be good, but I wont touch them until they are putting out their own stuff.
Watershed has a great cask strength. Sprayberry Bottle Shop in Marietta had one a while back that was great. Next time you're in town you need to go there and talk with Brij. (He has 15-20 barrel picks at all times)
Watershed is incredible, you should definitely do a pick!
Two great MN Ryes: Studio Distilling Rye & Rocknar Maryland-Style Rye.
Luca Mariano is a solid choice if you find it. Not sure what states it is in, but I saw it in Kansas last.
If you ever make it down to Colorado you've gotta run by Pueblo.
We have (or at least had at one point) the most liquor stores in the nation.

Im in the uk for the next 3 weeks whiskey hunting found some i never had jw kelly kentucky straight bourbon 94 proof batch 1 really nice
Brewzle, these hunting videos are my absolute favourite. Keep on hunting brother! 🥃
Thank you
I know this is way out of the way for you, but if you ever get an opportunity, try Driftless Glen. They’re a small distillery in Baraboo, Wisconsin. Other good choices from J Henry & Sons Bourbon and Limousin Rye.
Watching this on my lunch break
If you’re ever in Texas, I suggest MKT Red Lantern Bourbon. Small distillery out of Katy, TX. Rich, sweet, but still very complex. And a part of every sale goes to charity, great distillery and very very good bourbon at an affordable price. Paid around $45 in Houston TX at Total Wine.

Definitely come to Texas, specifically Houston to do some hunting. I definitely want to see what my city has to offer.
Highbank Distillery in Columbus OH has some great picks,
Going into Atlanta can either be ‘ today is gonna be a fun day. It’s nice out’ or a hospital trip to Grady. No in between
2nd store, I saw an Old Pepper barrel select rye - those tend to be VERY good
Thanks TJ! Love it!
Keep these hunting videos coming!
Ok
Haha you ALWAYS have to pay to park at Little Five Points Liquor. That's a very heavy traffic trendy area. And it's called Five Points because 5 different streets converge at one spot. I'm loving these videos, so cool to see you in Atlanta! I love Green's!
Milam and Green is great. See you when you come to Austin.
Old Carter is solid, I would pull the trigger on it.
