One thing I do appreciate about the Bourbon-Tube community... they all seem very ready to collaborate and work together. No egos about channel sizes (yet).
This was wild, seeing my hometown pop up in your bourbon hunts. I'm so happy y'all picked up the Detrick Rye! That's distilled locally in Dayton OH, all four barrels are 4-7 years old. Middle West is good too, distilled in Columbus, and it's a 4+ year old bourbon.
Well I'll be dipped.. I'm from Talladega, Alabama, but currently live in Dayton, Ohio.. We do get a lot of Weller here. If you're willing to wait in line and keep up with the truck delivery days you can definitely score a few bottles of Weller 107 every other month and several bottles of Weller special reserve every month...
This guy led you astray it seems. If he didn't call a Kroger the day before they dropped their most recent truck then he definitely did. My local Kroger in the Dayton area gets their truck on Monday and makes the bottles available for purchase the following day on Tuesday.. I can call on Monday and they'll tell me what they got and how much of it they got. Krogers in the Dayton area get the most volume of allocated bottles too.. One drop a few months back they had 18 bottles of Blanton's, 3 cases of Weller 107, and 3 cases of Eagle Rare..
Hey love your videos! You should come hang out in Athens, GA! I’ve got a store that usually has 107 ($60) and ALWAYS Special Reserve ($30). 4 or 5 other stores with good prices as well.
@@RonaSpreader I believe that's illegal in that state. Here in Florida, they don't hide anything, but everything is sold at secondary. A regular bottle of blantons down here is 200. Gold edition is 400. Luckily I travel for work. Had my best luck in WV, KY, and Ohio
You MUST go to the Century Bar in downtown Dayton next time you're here. They're voted Top 5 Bourbon Bar in the Nation. They have over 800 bottles to choose from. All the Pappy and Weller and such
@brewzle, Not sure if anyone has said it already but we call the Middlewest Wheat the "Stagg Killer". Tends to win in blinds against Stagg a ton. BTW your next Ohio hunt needs to be in Columbus:)
Im from dayton and have been watching you for a while. It was really cool to see you make a video in my city! Fine wine and spirits has a weekly allocated drop where i got blantons and eh taylor this month.
just watching you guys eat all that put me in a food coma, plus the desert... Great video... looking for Weller myself. been really hard in PA.. Have to check out Pies N Pints in WV.
As an Ohio native if you want Weller you have to be in line at the stores at drop days. You can find it if you know the distribution days and drop times (typically 9 am at open). I don't hunt all that much but have been able to get plenty of special reserve and a couple 107s at my local GE on Saturdays. Plenty of Ohio groups that you can find the store drop days in Ohio. Just know get there early as some people will be out the night before waiting depending on what is rumored to be dropping that day.
He calls and does all that he knows how it works. The point of these videos is to find stuff out on the wild, which still does happen at those stores. It’s the same release day process pretty much everywhere across the country and then he’s going out and finding random bottles or ones a store held back and decides to put out silently after dropday etc. And we’ve seen plenty of times in these videos he creates that relationship with a store owner that is going to pay off in the future
@grapeape1965 dosen't work like that in ohio and store relationships mean nothing here. The ohlq site tells you what they have so hunting is worthless and you wont find hidden bottles.
That Hayner you passed on is bottled in Troy Ohio. Its a blend of MGP and Bardstown. It is supposed to be based on an original recipe from the Hayner Family. Pretty good stuff and the Rye they have is really good as well.
You are experiencing what us Ohioans go through all the time. Basically no BTAC unless you learn the allocation days and line up a couple of hours before opening. I was 20th in line once. By the time I got to the front they were out of EH Taylor and Weller 107, and that is limit 1 per person. I settled for Weller Special Reserve with the funky aftertaste. Middle West Spirits is pretty good btw. One good thing about the liquor in Ohio: Same price across the State. Ran by the State Liquor Agency.
Yes I live in north east Ohio and there's a store around here that gets a few special bottles. It's a smaller town but they will usually order what customers want. So you'll always be able to get a few bottles of what you usually get whenever you want.
Nice video. Glad he honored that Weller. I’m dying to try any form of it. I refuse to pay the secondary and I haven’t even seen a bottle in person. I’m also looking to try more wheated bourbon.
Loved that you were in Dayton. Lived in the area most of my life and you hit most of the ones I usually hit when I am in the area. On the coast of North Carolina now and it is really hard to find a lot of the bottles we could acquire in Ohio. Never even seen a bottle of Weller in NC. Antique 107 is one of my top picks also
As an Ohioan, I love weller, I do. It's easier to get here at MSRP than most places. I also enjoy the bottle lotteries to get the expensive stuff at MSRP. But part of me is jealous at the diversity other places have. Things like Bluenote, Starlight, etc that are staples most other places we don't have here.
If I'm honest, you aren't missing much with Blue Note or Starlight (sorry fans). They are fine but most bourbon drinkers in other states wouldn't be as interested in them if they had more access to allocated BT products. That said, I don't prefer wheated profiles or lower proof bottles. I prefer my whiskey with rye and more proof so I'm not too sad that I only find Weller SR, Eagle Rare, or Blantons every few months - I don't drink them much. There are some great bottles from smaller and more regional distilleries but you can just drive to Indiana and find anything and everything you could ever want from the non BT distilleries. Most of them have distribution in Indiana since a large chunk use Indiana juice.
If I could get you just a couple few hours away from where you're at buddy I could hook you up everyday with allocated bottles but you have to wait another month or so until holiday seasons are upon us there will be some incredible dumps
@@Brewzle Nice. Nice car also 2 hours and a quarter north wish there was a way we could contact be very nice to hook up for a couple of days here where I'm at during the big drops especially your favorite I can usually get three or four a day everyday for a week lol when they're hitting good also one of my favorites and being on the line also get the blue single barrels and red single barrels and 12 year lots of connections would be a lot of fun
I am from Columbus. That's where Middle West Spirits is. You have to try the Middle West Michelone Reserve. It is one of my faves. Surprisingly good. Solid caramely and sweet undertones with a strong finish
Columbus local also and love their dark pumpernickel rye. Funny thing is last time I was at Northwest Wine and Spirits they had 3 cases of WSR on the floor barely touched
Dude the hayner rye is pretty damn good! Back in the day hayner was the biggest mail order distillery in the usa until prohibition i believe. They found some old bottles and blended stuff together to make it as close to the original. I believe they are working on distilling their own though
Brewzle I love your videos! I'm pretty new to bourbon hunting and have been doing a ton of research. Can you do a video of bourbons that are a once a year drop. I mean like a list of what to look for and when they drop like Four Roses limited edition small batch.
Recently tried the hocking hills bourbon. They actually do distill it themselves through their normal moonshine stills, then it sits in barrels for 2 years in their basement. Not that good so it was a good pass
Brewzle you missed the glass case with all the high end stuff at arrow wine and spirits! Loved seeing you visit local stores though wish i was in the area that day!
I went to three locations of the same liquor store. At the last one I went to, the guys there were more than willing to let me know they had Weller, Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare, and other hard to find bottles “in the back”. They were told by management to keep them for the local bars. However, the local university is out for summer and cash is king, so I cleaned them out of many bottles at retail prices.
PineApple Pizza was invented in WINDSOR ontario Canada. Right across from Detroit! Weller in Ontario Green Label $44.95 Can Dollar.(When available.Weller 107 $ 69.95 Can dollar (when Available) 1 bottle limit? I like both. Have you done an OLD POGUE ? That was tasty!
Hey y’all and Brewzle! First, absolutely love the channel. Second, does anyone know of any good bourbon spots in the Central NY area? I’ve got my 2-3 local stores but wanted to venture outside of my go-tos but don’t have any idea which direction, let alone area in which to begin. Thanks y’all and happy hunting 🥃
Came to Ohio a little too soon. My local liquor store has gotten red and green Weller the last 3 weeks. Last weeks drop was Ehbp, Ehsb,Blantons, Eagle Rare, Weller Antique, Weller Special Reserve, and Bowman.
I'm really liking brewzel less and less every video. He talks over everyone and talks non stop. Insults the guy he's hunting with by calling him a "better beggar" than him. Holds the guy to a free bottle of 107 on a silly bet that everyone knows was just meant for fun. Dude is arrogant and loud. Unsubscribed.
Mixed drink suggestion: Captain Morgan double take: equal parts Captain and parrot Bay pineapple. 2 to 4 parts Dr. Pepper. I prefer 2 parts, 4 parts is how I served it in the bar. If you try it, credit me and I'll tell you how it came about.
I know it is an older video I like to revisit, but I live in Akron OH up by Cleveland and we do get large Weller shipments about every month to 2 months Last week i got 7 Green and 2 Red 107s all msrp and I also acquired an Eagle Rare. It bothers me its not easier so come by as often since we are so close to the source but that's the life of the HUNT.
You went to a few good places, but there are better stores. Also, next time, go to Century bar. They dont have food, but the selection is top-notch. Wish there was a way to know when you're coming back this way. Id take you around
TJ don't waste your time in Michigan. Most liquor stores price gouge everything allocated. Don't even need a secondary market here. And they complain when their customers shop at Total Wine & More.
I have a place I tell absolutely no one about that always has Uigeadail and Corryvreckan in stock. I made the mistake of spilling another honey hole on reddit and it was the only place I could bet Buffalo Trace and Blanton's. I won't make that mistake again.
I wouldn't bet anything on it but I have seen some high end Weller pop up in Mid Mo. At one of my local shops pretty consistently lately.... Prices are pretty high though.
California customs is directly across the street from my house.. but you Should have went to the odd house in Miamisburg Ohio.. not far from arrow wine and spirits they usually have a good selection of stuff!
Not sure about the dates you were here... But Special Reserve was abundant (cases on the floor) about 2 weeks ago. Pretty sure there was 107s as well, but those usually don't last the line.
He should really dive deep into the world of cigars, missing out on a lot of world class stogies in those humidors. I understand the appeal behind just whiskey branded cigars though.
You ask for scotch info, I give it to you, in a few videos now, and crickets. You can't even acknowledge my time and effort ..so whats the point in asking your viewers for anything
Once a month at the Kroger in my town they get to boxes of Weller and hardly anyone ever buys it. At $30 a bottle I never complain about getting to pick up a bottle no worries
The coalition whiskey is very bad. I sell it at my store. Never sells and those who tried gave it a 1/10. Seriously hated in my area. Can’t give it away
The oki is definitely not worth it, even at its 80ish dollar msrp. Next time you are hunting in dfw id happily help you hunt for bottles and tote them around XD
Opened up with the liquor store my aunt works at that’s crazy, I’m from Dayton I can’t say Weller’s is super common most bottle I’ve seen are out of state or atleast out of county
I need to ask you a question I know you got a lot of if she don't get to me that's fine like Maker's 101 or like the Chattanooga Tennessee whiskey or bourbon something along the lines of them flavors and taste what do you
It depends on what time of year you come if it’s late in the green bottle season you will see case of it at the store. The 107 you have to be there at the drop and be one of the first 6 in line. Unless they have something better that day with the 107 drop.
Can any of you tell me where in Pennsylvania I would even have a shot at weller or eagle rare. I can't find shit within an hour of central pa and hate the state run liqour store
