Hello I’m Wilford Brimley and I’d like to talk to you about Diabeetus!

[@lulzIridetheshortbus]

Hey TJ, Addison from J’s here. Thanks for stopping by- wish I had had a bit more time with you, would have loved to show you a couple more bottles. Cheers, and thanks for stopping in!

Bubba is rocking a killer mullett.

[@gabetinsley4540]

Absolutely! That is a majestic Kentucky waterfall he’s got.

Majestic is an understatement

1920 is one of my favs of all time. Plus, it's available at pretty much every good store.

I love all your videos but the bourbon hunts are far and away the best thank you TJ

The barrel selections have been fun.

TinCup 10 year, the one he grabbed in the video is a great introduction to what a whiskey can be. Easy drinking and worth the asking price. This coming from someone that does not enjoy the regular TinCup by the way. The 10 year is a bottle I always try to keep around.😎🥃

[@The_Diesel4]

I’ve enjoyed all the Tin Cups. I think they’re great tbh

[@fce_1235]

Tincup 10 is fantastic for 40 bucks I’d take it all day over those Weller SRs

Dang you TJ... exposing all of my hunting spots!! 🤣😂Glad you scored a few bottles.

[@tetunoffensive]

Spent a couple days in Athens and lucked upon J’s. Had a great time with Addison, great personality and could tell he really loved talking about Bourbon. Super knowledgeable but not pushy, just helpful and I don’t regret any of the bottles I walked out with.

Bottom shelf at that!

[@TravelingStacker]

Its a bottle. How else would it be sitting there besides casually?

[@williamoscar1234]

First off, go dawgs. Happy you had a good time in Athens. Great bourbon hunting in the area. Tall Boy on south milledge has some of the craziest allocated stuff in the area, but the markup is insane.

Filibuster got caught and fined $700,000 for dumping over 40,000 gallons of industrial waste into a creek next to their distillery in 2021. I'm not a tree hugger, but that's no bueno in my book and therefore I choose not to buy their products.

[@BJWanlund]

Yeah that is very much no bueno and a no go for me, and I’m about as much of a tree hugger as it gets. They’re joining Makers on my no go list. (And Makers is only on my no go list because their normal distributed-everywhere “bourbon” is more jet fuel than actual bourbon IMHO.)

[@Hatter_reeko]

I can get behind this

[@fusion210]

@@BJWanlund What's wrong with Makers exactly? I haven't bought it in a while and it was one of my first straight, tasted like salty gasoline. heh

[@BJWanlund]

@@fusion210 basically just what you said: it tastes more like rubbing alcohol than bourbon!

The Kings Family Distillery cast strength is WAY underrated. Worth a try

[@treytison1444]

Wouldn't call it sharpie but there's an off tannin flavor I've found in Elijah Craig barrel picks, I mostly get small batch.

[@TheWithdrawl]

Finding EH Taylor at or near MSRP is always a must grab. Everybody got a bottle 😂. Love your content!

[@ravenmoon1165]

No kidding. I'd buy EVERY bottle!

[@mikemattis1204]

Kings family distillery light whiskey is the one!!!!!!! should’ve grabbed it

[@rustbucket9318]

I can't watch one of these videos without going shopping afterwards. Wife is telling me to lay off of buying any more bottles but she is going out of town this weekend and Im sure I can hide one or two in the mix.

[@link1ater]

My local Total Wine has calumet 15 for $100 and I can’t get enough at that price. Love it

[@lavishlondo1734]

The Single barrel Rye sitting at 132.9 proof is a spectacular bottle. Has an apple pallet with a vanilla honey finish.

[@davecashel4007]

Good on ya Brewzle, taking those College boys out teaching them the Bourbon knowledge. Big thumbs up.

[@link1ater]

I also noticed in this video almost every store had smoke wagon products that got overlooked. The uncut unfiltered is one of my absolute favorites

[@moneyUWM]

EHT on the shelf…so good! 👍

[@pilsplease7561]

As a winemaker like with whiskey people get mad at our prices but they have to realize that we have a fixed cost of production to acquire the grapes, pay off all the ingredients needed, yeast and etc and pay for barrels or oak adjuncts and then when we go to sell the wine we have to pay the feds Taxes at that point. Which means that our prices are quite literally what we have to get to make a profit and people come in to the winery and try and negotiate and im like you cant negotiate if you dont like the price then dont buy it we are making in some cases $5-6 a bottle the margins can be razor thin and we have to pay every state we sell the wines in for a license to sell in that state and that adds a lot of upfront yearly costs its like $40-60k for just licensing fees.

[@Icabod-os6rg]

No one is complaining about market rate prices. It's when you see bottles that are clearly marked up which gets people angry. Ex: Stagg Jr is literally $36 bottle cost but a store near me has it for $300.

[@danielporter4194]

Love that bourban just brings us southern folk together in such a fun way.

[@robumbria8237]

Brewzle, can't thank you enough for spurring the "hunting" phase of my bourbon hobby. Here on Long Island, NY it can be very hit or miss. The unicorns and allocation stuff seem to be more readily available but the pricing fluctuates from place to place. Got EHT & Eagle Rare for slightly above MSRP from a place around me so I consider it a win, especially since they were both the last bottles in stock at this place for that price. Felt great! A nice rush. It's an expensive hobby but an enjoyable one lol.

[@Cozmo2k4]

That mullet is amazing! Hell yeah brother.

[@terryconnolly6572]

Definitely try the Tincup 10 yr. Great value everyday drinker.

[@mikecatalanottojr41]

That Tin Cup is fantastic. I had their regular bourbon and bunkered a ten year. They also have a 14 year that I need.

[@fireantfishing]

This kinda upsets me and also makes me wonder. This is my local store. I buy almost ALL of their store picks. Not just to enter the raffle, but I tend to enjoy them. Taylor is my fav pour at the moment. I have NEVER seen it on the shelf, and definitely not for that price. Congrats on getting it, but dang.

[@Brewzle]

It was on the bottom shelf 6 of them total

[@pizzawarlord9232]

wow EHT on shelf for msrp. such a great find. The Clyde May's 6 year Reserve is fantastic. Caribou Crossing has a great mouthfeel and initial taste with instant finish. A very mellow enjoyable sipper when I am in the mood. I only go through 1 or 2 bottles of it a year normally occasionally 3. Picked up a Knob Creek 18 for $145 this past weekend. Also got a JMCB for $185 and a backup Jameson 18 for $110. If I am paying $300 or more it is for Irish or Scotch, I have not had a bourbon or rye I would pay that for a bottle. I loved Boss Hog but would not pay $250 for it never mind $500 or $600. I drink and share all my bottles I have 2 store picks for Kings wheated coming soon. Excited to try them.

[@joshuadbryson]

Westside bottle used to have a 12 year whistle pig aged in sherry barrel for westside bottle shop. Was so nice.

[@rcstudio3935]

“Use that NIL money I don’t care “ lmao 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Kimakaze]

I have shopped there multiple times but have never seen any of this stuff on the shelf. Are they putting this stuff out only for KZbin hunters??

Nice Stores in Georgia , I would pass out if I could walk in a store here in South Louisana and Find Eagle Rare and EH Taylor just sitting on the shelf , maybe one day .... Thanks

That Filibuster is great! Visited the distillery in the blue ridge mountains in Virginia recently and got to try it. Really good stuff and highly recommended!

Better late than never been dealing with family issues this week but finally got to watch the video another great one.

Those Old Soul Tintype Series bottles are pretty good too… saw a couple in J’s I think

They are AMAZING! Not biased at all, by the way 😂. Sincerely, Tintype Series 1 was the best bottle I had in 23

[@jeremylewis2634]

That Clyde May red bottle is great!!

[@ccale03]

Really!! EH Taylor just sitting on the shelf. I’ve been searching for 2yrs for a bottle and haven’t found a one that’s hurts to see. I’m a truck driver and look all over in any store my truck will fit in and nothing. Eagle rare and Blantons I can find daily in Wyoming but EH is mythical there.

Man missed out you being in Athens! My Alma mater and favorite town next to my hometown. Glad found some good finds

[@timothywilliams8487]

At about 22:30 in, you point out a Knob 18.... just a couple of bottles further down - is that a Shenk's?? Man... one of the best Michter's products out there, if that's what it was. And you walked right on by.....

[@joeymchugh8339]

Good eye, it 100% is. Idk if I’d pull the trigger at $200 tho. I think MSRP is around 100-110. I can get an M10 for a little bit over 200 lol

[@HuntingGa114]

Recognized Turtle Creek immediately, shop there all the time. Great staff, great selection

[@FriePaul1337]

Tin Cup Fourteener Bourbon is pretty good if you can scoop one up!

[@skylarpayne5613]

I bought a bottle of 4 roses single barrel because of you and absolutely love it

[@tonys4039]

I can't speak on the specific bottles you were showing, but if you EVER find wilderness trail rye single barrel barrel strength over 110 proof, give it a try. It was bottled under the barrel master that later left to dark arts. The 105-110s are after he left. I'm young into this culture, but that is the first (only) bottle that I first characterized as delicious. So delicious I have given rye much more attention.

[@mjlstl]

They don’t even talk about the Elijah Craig 18 year just sitting there.

[@jrodlifts6176]

The Tin Cup 10 yr is amazing. You need to try it ASAP!!

[@kodymclaughlin8121]

Love the Tin Cup. Discovered it maybe 2 years ago and currently have 4 in the house. Well 3. Finished one. Where I am I only have access to the blue label bottle but sooo good for a cheaper pour. Straight or mixed. Great everyday

Drinking game - take a sip every time Mullet Man adjusts his shirt then runs his hands through his hair 😂

At 36 minutes he mentions no other wilderness trail sourced barrels at full proof however Luca Mariano has done quite a few wilderness trail sourced barrels at cask strength. Ive happened to get a handful of them around 61.9% and 7 years 7 months old.

Get the moonrise next time you're in Georgia! It's a distillery in Clayton, Ga, and I believe they distill and age their own bourbon. The select bourbon is a solid choice!

Tim cup 10 year is actually pretty solid. I get a lot of orchard fruit on it, it is light, and doesn’t have much else to it. I’d describe it as a perfect mid summer pour

[@Pinkeyes98]

Just had kings a few weeks back at their location in pigeon forge. Really loved their straight bourbon (black label). Had few of their other stuff but the black label stood out the most to me. Can’t wait to see your take on the wheated!

[@timothydemery2480]

So many websites say Pure Kentucky is “almost 12 years.” I can’t confirm, but the XO on the bottle stands for extra old. Regardless, it’s delicious.

[@Armadaninja]

[@Ben-qz6kg]

Tin cup is a fine mixer. But that’s a pure party bottle you don’t care about

[@littledraco9]

Moonrise up in north GA has a fantastic snow cream if you get a chance. Miles above Bailey's. Their bourbon is pretty decent.

[@talljohn5350]

Kings county started with small barrels. So their older stock is small barrels. But for years now they’ve been using full size barrels

[@Low_Frequency_Overlord]

Tincup, great mixer. Wife loves it, guilt free cocktail. Sips fine, just not much there, with a uick clean finish. It is a good price point here in AR

[@MikeInNOVA]

TJ, being 70 mins from Filibuster I’ve had several of their expressions. My BiB is half-empty. It’s okay, but not worth the price. The best by far is their Single Estate single barrel at 117 proof. On my second bottle and will always keep a bottle of it around.
