Come up to Iowa this summer and do a tour and barrel pick at Cedar Ridge. It’s one of the top bourbons in Iowa by sales volume. Similar to Frey Ranch, Cedar Ridge grows their grains for their distillates, and distill and age their barrels on their farm in Iowa. They also had one of the top American Single Malts in the US with their Quintessential. Excellent product all around.
I'm partial to the hunt videos. I'd like to see a few where you don't meet up with a local whose got peeps that gets you allocations. More of you being a regular Joe and hunting bottles like we all have to do!
TJ, you and your family, Brewzle Team, Josh, supporters and many others make these events look like so much fun. Keep up the hard work and I look forward to the opportunity to get these picks.
TJ, would love to see you guys at Tennessee Hills Distillery in Jonesboro, Tennessee. They do a really nice job in NE Tennessee!!! I really like the smaller distillery spotlight you guys do., CHEERS!
Old Dominick whiskey still needs some time BUT they recently dropped some 9 year cask strength Huling Station and it's fantastic. Sure, it's MGP but Alex's mashbill and it's very good. It tastes like other MGPs I've had but it's a great deal at $80. I'd say it's often as good as Four Gate and massively more affordable.
Did that tour a few years ago and walked out with a case of whiskey. Their basic TN whiskey is real nice for the price. The Toddy is let's just say an "interesting" change of pace.
Love the video and format. I would have liked a little more interaction with folks during the takeover. The tour was great and loved hearing the Old Dominick story.
I really like these distillery visits, especially the tastings. Kind of like the Derby video, ask everyone what their favorite allocated bottle is, and what is their go to mid cost sipper. Mic control was excellent, video stayed focused, …what was the end result of the barrel picks?
Curious....I believe he was going on and on about how the Memphis water there is so special but I saw in the video how they have cases of Niagra bottled drinking water for their own consumption, why if the Memphis water is so good?
I like the history and information in the longer format distillery tours. What I can’t quite understand is how the barrel purchases work. Buying 4 barrels is probably near $30,000, if it is anywhere near retail. Then with all the other barrels y’all have bought lately what happens to the actual whiskey? That’s a whole lot of papaw juice.
@Brewzle my local liquor store has JD12 for 150. I was wondering if you think I should go get it. I’ve been thinking about it for a while but wondering if it’s still good at that price range
I love seeing the distillery videos. I appreciate what all of them are doing. I'd love to have my own distillery. The one thing I'm sure I'd do differently from most of them is the product. I know it's a business, and you do it to make a living, but I wouldn't want to do Vodka, Gin, or any of that other crap. I'm doing whiskey. If you're doing that other crap, you're not focusing on the whiskey. Someone else could do that other stuff. I'm doing whiskey. I don't know why but I almost cringe when they start talking about the other spirits. If you like that stuff, good for you. I'm not drinking it. My dream job would be working a distillery, focusing on whiskey. Every aspect of it. From the grain to the distillation process to the barrels to the bottle. No way I'd have time for Vodka.
Anyone here wanna help me out I found a bottle of jack Daniel’s riverboat captains for $300 I know nothing about it and never even heard about it untill just now
@@Brewzle it’s just the same process everywhere making the bourbon in was really interesting at first don’t get me wrong! But I love the hunting videos and bourbon drop videos.. being up here in Maine I’m not gonna see any of these products from the destilliertes you visit not 1 of them🤣 so it’s just getting boring to me
Honest question - What does he do with these absolutely ginormous amounts of alcohol once he buys them? He’s obviously very wealthy, so does he have a 1 acre storage facility for his liquor purchases? I’d be very curious to know, because clearly no human is going to be able to drink even 5% of the collection he has by now. (No hate - just curious).
