kenwood is great

I got the Green River Full Proof, tasted it and bought a backup. I found the Russell’s 15 at $500, I passed. Great video

Didn’t realize you guys were fellow Chicagoans (or nearby), will definitely keep up with your content. Kenwood is a great place, have not been there in a long time, but that New Riff Store Pick for $45 sure caught my eye! Cheers!

I'm hunting nada, nothing ... I'm living vicariously. No more leaving the house at 3am to be number 1,200 in line. No more 30% over MSRP. Done with FOMO. If I find it at/near MSRP during random visits 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Found one of those for $15 last week in mid michigan 👍 😉 🥃 Cheers

#1 on my hunt list is King of Kentucky 2024 this year. Y'all have a great list as well!🥃

Thanks for watching everyone! Please add what you’re hunting for this season. Cheers! 🥃🥃

On the fence on that green river, heard good and bad things. A few are showing up here in mid michigan 🤔

Old Overholt 114 is what I'm looking for in michigan right now 😉👍🥃 Cheers

Taylor BP Rye is tops on my list too. I’ve gotten Bombergers from Jewel. 💎 good luck hunting

Russel 15 looking to be an option and bomberger are two I would be in the hunt for

Awesome. Thanks for sharing

I see a road trip in my future, I saw some stuff in the video I have been looking for 🥰

Really good stuff glad you guys had a chance to review! One love Fam!❤

Garrison Brothers is plentiful in Florida. Especially in Total Wine. I need to find Lady Bird but I have seen Cowboy

Glad they didn't destroy this one like the one on Stony Island...SMH.

Salud Y'all

They are husband and wife their is a documentary on how they started please review!

The Guadalupe is fantastic. I haven't tried the small batch, or lady bird

Need to check out both! That's whats up on the sample love! Cheers 🥃

Still haven't been to Chicago

It was a pleasure to meet you both today at Woodmans in North Aurora, Illinois. One thing that I took away from our 2-3 minutes together, was that you both are the exact same people in person that you are on screen. It was a pleasure again to meet somebody that I enjoy watching on KZbin and I really hope you both enjoy that bottle of Dark Arts! Cheers to you both. -Scott

Love this episode!! Wife is originally from Joliet, IL... so we definitely will stop here on our next trip back. Keep doing your thing!

This one sounds great. I can bet that my state of Tennessee is one of the few they can’t ship to. Great video.

Alas,I'll never find this one in michigan 😒, looks like a good one 👍 🥃😉 Cheers

This sounds good. I will have see if I can get me a bottle.

That's cool a vibe section on the bottle . Awesome 💯. Definitely need to try it.

6 years cask strength . Awesome . She took her time!!!

Nice. Thanks for sharing . I will definitely be looking into that bottle .

I need that Tshirt

Boiler up

Hi family

I hear Jason from Mash and Drum always call you out during the live streams. First time watching. Good to see you're also in the Chicagoland area. Those Driftless Glen bourbon and rye picks are worth the pickup. I'm starting to feel like I could random buy a store pick at Kenwood and come out OK though.

Will do. Thanks

Michter's achieves that fantastic taste profile but using lower barrel proof entry than almost all other distilleries. The lower proof entry allows more interaction with the barrel and they've nailed it. I drink tons of great ryes and the Michter's 10 year and barrel proof ryes are 2 of my all time favorites - just spectacular!!

Michters is enjoyed by the Mr. The flavors they accomplish at a lower proof is amazing. Great review!

Great call family, this year’s M10 rye is another hitter! Cheers 🥃

A 2 ounce pour in my city is $74, so I found a bottle in GA, paid a little over MSRP but it was worth the hunt, and cheaper to sip it at home LOL, Definitely will only open again for special occasions.

Unlike you,I’m not normally a Michter’s fan. Yet when I found the 10 year single barrel bourbon for $150, I jumped on it. Best Michter’s I’ve ever tasted. I’ll watch for the rye. Great review as always.

I received this bottle as a gift and had hoped it would taste like the brand was going to be successful. If you have had any decent bourbon whatsoever in your life, you'll hate this. It's undrinkable, mixing with coke won't even make it drinkable. I would give it away, but I don't hate anybody enough. If you have friends or family over and want to make some $50-60 bottles you have taste like BTAC or OF Birthday... Start them off with this and then move to your other bottles. This literally tastes like it was aged in metal chemical barrels instead of oak. Or maybe it was aged in old perfume bottles. I don't like being this mean, but I'm being honest. I haven't even had Canadian whiskey that tastes this poorly. There is your raw and unfiltered review. It is offensive to even sell this as bourbon. It is the Malört of the bourbon shelf.

Ive seen Jason here once, didnt say anything because i was in a rush and starstruck😅

Yep! One of my favorite stores.

Nice review. Cheers from Cleveland

Where is K Luke at in Chicago? I have yet 2 c either of those "Exclusives" yall sippin!! Cheers!!

I wish these 6 bottles were more consistently available in my area. I've never seen a JM cigar blend at all actually. Four Roses store picks trickle in now and then. I've never seen a Russell's store pick, only the regular shelf available single barrel. I've never seen or heard of an OF single barrel in my area unfortunately. Copper & Cask I'm pretty sure I've seen on the shelf, I just don't know which ones they were. To my knowledge John J Bowman has never been seen in my area. I need to make it down to Illinois to stock up on Early Times Bonded and Benchmark products. I'm also looking for Armagnac, Irish whiskey, Scotch and Polish vodka. My college buddy picked up an orange herbal Polish vodka at the Liquor Barn in Wheeling for me one time. I need to pick up more of that stuff!

This is the only Stagg batch I've been able to try. This tastes like barrel proof eagle rare to me. Grape soda, cherry, rich vanilla, tobacco, sweet oak, mild spice/cinnamon. There is a brand of cane sugar soda made a couple towns over from me called Spring Grove soda pop. I doubt it is distributed to a market as large as Illinois but it's available in the tri-state area of MN/WI/IA. Anyways, the grape soda note in mash bill #1 Buffalo Trace products is exactly like the Spring Grove grape soda! It's delicious! They make many other flavors as well including cream soda, creamy orange, rhu-berry (rhubarb and strawberry), strawberry, orange, black cherry, root beer and lemon sour (which makes fantastic whiskey sours btw!!!).

You did a great job with the camera!

Great review. Did Michters send you the 24A barrel? I have seen this 24A00130 barrel now on your channel, the bourbon judge and the 2 other people reviewers online. Seems like maybe Michters knew what they are doing if these were sent from them.

Great selection for a smaller store

Great store. I picked up a Driftless Glen Bourbon CS store pick 125 proof there that is fantastic. I bought a Joseph Magnus Cigar Blend there before and some Early Time BIB. The Binny’s in Evergreen Park is not too far from there. I have picked up some EH Taylor, Eagle Rare and Blanton’s at that Binny’s. There is also a Kenwood Liquors in Homers Glen that I hit when I go to the Binny’s in Orland Park. 🥃
