@@pinonXOMy brother and I very much enjoy mezcal. My collection is 90% bourbon but love a good mezcal. Mi mama mi dijo and montelobos some of my favorites.
Tyler at Southern Collective is a really good dude. I took a trip out there solo last year and hit them up. He chatted with me the entire time. Insanely knowledgeable, and like I said, just a really cool dude.
@@tylerboggs612 I am planning on it! However, being in California makes it a little more difficult. For now I will have to keep nursing my bottle of Stranger Things! Thank you again for your hospitality!!
On my first road trip from Fort Worth, TX to Lexington, KY for a KBT trip in 2019, I stopped in the closet liquor store in Memphis, TN on a Sunday morning at 11 am and scored a 1.75 ER for 52 and a pair of Stagg Jr. Batch 12 for 49 each! 🤷♂️ I miss those days...
got a EH taylor single barrel today before it even hit the shelf. I bought a couple bottles of the orange lable private select barrel bourbon's and the guy was like i got a shipment of eh taylor in the back if you want a bottle before it hits the shelves. 79$ okay, sold. lol
The Reverend sour mash whiskey is from The Call Family distillers (my family's distillery) in North Carolina. The history runs back to Reverend Call and young Mr. Daniel partnered up to form the Daniel & Call Distillery No.7, District 4. The ground floor that became Jack Daniels old No. 7!
I literally don’t drink at all, never had bourbon in my life besides in a bbq sauce, but your content is just a breath of fresh air. You and your wife seem so chill and kind and highlighting good people doing good work in any industry is an amazing thing to do these days. I hope to meet you one day and maybe try my first bourbon. Thank you for helping me out in a very tough time in my life brother.
I live in Raleigh and I discovered the Southern Star whiskeys about 2 years ago. Good stuff! I need to make the 2.5 hours trip west to the distillery soon.
We were in Cool Springs Wine and Spirts the first of June. Awesome store! We picked up a case of the Belle Meade and a bottle of the Peerless Double Oaked. #bottlekill
You're the only bourbon RU-vidr I watch and you've helped me immensely on my bourbon journey, I especially enjoy how open you are to trying new products/local lesser known products, it's refreshing not to just hear about pappy's, eagle rare and EH Taylor
Belle Meade discontinued the cask strength reserve bottles. All the black reserve labels are now 108.3 proof. They used to be cask strength single barrels. I still have one that is 113.6
Went to an event at Treaty Oak and they released a 95 proof 5-year SiB finished in maple syrup barrels. Tasted like a really good DO product, had to grab a bottle to take home!
#bottlekill I love the juice that Taconic Distillery puts out. I first discovered them at a whiskey festival and fell in love with their Rye whiskey. Since then I have really enjoyed their Cabernet barrel finished bourbon but their star in my opinion is the Single Malt. I have gone through several bottles of this already!
Cool Springs is a great store! Just picked up their JD SB BP store pick and the New Riff SB store pick there last week. Both bottles are incredible. Grabbed a Holladay Rickhouse Proof Missouri Straight there too. Fantastic selection there.
You need to go up to Taconic in the summer or fall. It's beautiful up there. Their Single Barrel picks are some of the best anywhere. They pulled a 8.5 year 137 proof rye which blew away Parker's and JDSBBP Rye.
The Peerless DO bottles at the distillery are single barrels. The bottles at liquor stores are small batch. The single barrels are much better so you just need to decide if the price difference warrants it. For me, it does
#bottlekill. Ive recently found your channel and i love it. Im 46 and ive just been drawn to bourbon my whe life but never taken the time to figure out why its what i like. Ive learned quite a bit and im taking a deeper dive into the process of making great whiskey. I live in Neptune Beach Fl about 30 minutes north of St Augustine so im getting ready to take the distillery tour down ther very soon. Keep up the good work and thank you for helping me understand what im drinking. Cheers!
Southern collective at the ends seems like a cool place .interesting concept.. definitely makes the bottle unique and collectable if you making your own unique blend a 1 of /1 type release😅sounds fun .cheers for showing us the experince 😉🥃
@@BigJRock10 I saw that one! I can walk to Frugal. That store is so busy. It’s difficult to get anything allocated there. It’s gone so quickly. Their barrel picks can be great though!
@@marcusgaming7114 I know this isn't the easiest practice, but if you create a relationship with the folks at Frugal and shop there regularly, they're more apt to offer you some allocated stuff. A lot of that stuff usually hits the floor in the middle of the day or goes to big spenders (wedding planners, bartenders, etc.) first. However, they do offer those to their regulars as well.
That Reservoir is really good. They’re from right up the road. They have a Bourbon, Wheat and Rye whiskey. Their Hunter & Scott Bourbon and Rye is solid as well.
Atlantico Rum- Solera Aged from DR Difficult to find, very reasonably priced and an absolute Vanilla Bean Bomb. Just had some 2 days ago and my mind was blown (For the Rum Selection)
I try and make a quarterly trip to Southern Star. Big fan. Paragons have been different with their own juice but they are still really good. I also tried a 100% rye mash bill before aging...seems like they would work well with customers.
Enjoy your vids. Love all the detailed info you provide. If yoy get a chance while expanding your rum selection, please show us a rum hunt. Not many out there.
The kavalan vinho barrique cask strength is amazing. Blue tube at 8:27...kavalan is a taiwan single malt well worth it when you find it, at that price (167)its a buy for me. It doesn't often get imported. My favorite of theirs is their ex-bourbon, where they finish their stuff in ex bourbon barrels.
Hey brewzle, if you’re ever in Oklahoma swing by City Liquors in Collinsville Oklahoma , we’d love to show you some of our allocated and shelf stocked bourbons !
@brewle. Southern is just up the road from me. Great people. Have a friend that works there handling their events. They’ve come a long way in my opinion. On the other distiller in NC, was it Old Nick Williams? I know they have a stage and do a lot of events as well.
Stuff and Whisky recommended Pepperfire Hot Chicken and there is a Craft Beer place about a block east of there (Southern Grist). Hattie B's is good too.
Funny you just picked up a wild turkey Kentucky Spirit,it what I've been enjoying lately..sad it's 170 here in Australia hence why it's hard to pull the trigger on since rare breed is 115 I'd always rather a Russell's single barrel for 90 here .but anyways love seeing all the different craft whiskeys you show ..things that may never make it to Australia but I still like seeing and learning what could be the future rare unicorns😅.cheers mate .keep up the good work🥃😉
that new distillery that you plan on opening, is continuing to grow with knowledge... I wonder which small craft distiller are you going to persuade to make your bourbon? Cut Above? Frey Ranch? which is awesome thanks for that eye opener. your a clever guy Im sure you'll get the right guy...Good Luck with your research
I just got a bottle of belle Meade reserve in MO for 46 bucks yesterday. I heard it was scarcer so I decided to snag it. Haven't gave it a go but excited to crack it.
Awesome to see stores that I frequent in your video! Next time you’re in town, I would be more than happy to show you around to some other places. Just a little bit further out of Nashville, and I promise you won’t be disappointed.
@@BigJRock10 Cheers in Lebanon is fantastic, Red Carpet in Gallatin is good (but has the limited stuff at secondary), and Bluegrass/Sinkers have some of the best prices. On the North side of town, my go-to's are usually Center Point in Hendersonville. Frugal downtown is great because the folks there are always so nice.
Brewzle, Bro, you say you're going to pay attention to your budget like every time in your videos, lol.. One day I'll believe you.. Like maybe when I see a unicorn.. The fictitious horse, not the hard to get bottle of bourbon, lol.. Just sayin'.. Oh, love your videos. I find them informative and occasionally funny, please keep up the great work.
