The selection brings tears to this Canadian's eyes.

[@cgwami]

Same

[@swap_fox9291]

No even gonna lie that’s my cat that has been missing for like a year. We live in the coxs creek area and she ran off a long time ago. Honestly looked forever and just thought something got her as there is coyotes everywhere behind our house. And she is a free spirit. Her name is Lilly 😂

[@byungs]

i really enjoy this series, and especially the pricing round up at the end. i'm the guy that's too lazy to hunt for bourbon, but the next time i'm driving through KY maybe i'll pick something up at one of the stores you guys highlighted. thanks!

[@jamesAwildwezzal]

So based on your input we are staying at Bardstown Motor Lodge. It's really pretty nice and the ladies working today are equally as nice. Thanks for the recommendation.

[@blamon01]

Great series you guys. The valley that those Heaven Hill Rickhouses are in is a sight to behold. Love Mammy’s Kitchen. My wife and I ate there when we visited Bardstown last spring ourselves. I had a slice of one of their wonderful pies also. Yum! I’m going to have to watch this again. Thanks!

[@alaskanbullworm8210]

Man lived in bardstown my whole life it’s crazy to see people explore around places I pass everyday

[@davidmurray6387]

Videos like this make me realize how small the world is, I drove through bardstown in february and stopped at liquor world too! so cool to see some of the same stuff as you guys saw! this kind of video is becoming a favorite for a lot of people, can't wait to see where yall go next!

[@10jodeo]

Multiple Bardstown Chateau de Laubade just sitting on a shelf at the first liquor store stop… crazy! I’ve never even one on the wild in Southern California! These videos are great! Gives me an idea what prices are like over there compared to here. Cheers!

[@floridafishingfanatic55]

Probably batch 2 which is Dickel based if I had to guess. It sits around FL too.

[@KevinWilson-cc7lj]

Another tremendous tour by the Kentucky pros. Such a joy to watch you two on a hunting journey.

[@dougdillard9006]

BEST SHOW YET...... LOVE YOU TWO THE DILLARDS.

[@hirokeo]

I love this so much! Please do more of these. Bourbon hunting is almost as great as Bourbon tasting.

[@davidschweibold256]

Love the video! I’m so glad you guys had a good experience at Heaven Hill. My friend and I stopped in and it was very crowded, no tours available and we asked if anything behind the counter was for sale and they were so rude to us. Very snobby and said those are private bottles from tours only. We left and wont go back. Stopped at Jim Beam and they were so amazing! I’d go back in a heartbeat.

[@ItsBourbonNight]

That’s so odd! I feel like you must have just had the bad luck to get a bad employee, our experiences there have always been good, but yeah they do stay busy!

[@evilpope26]

awesome video. Its great all the call out to places you bought items from. Thanks again for doing this.

[@chargerguy74]

Wow. There was some great stuff on the shelf. These bourbon hunt videos are the best.

[@TexasDevin]

Every now and then, a video just hits all the right notes. This is very relevant since my wife and I drive through KY once or twice a year and try to hit some bourbon picks on the way. I definitely learned a few things watching this. I am not familiar with your channel, but now I'm subscribing. Keep up the great work!

[@ItsBourbonNight]

Thanks! Glad to have you aboard.

[@13TCross]

Really enjoying the bourbon hunt videos! Keep them coming

[@ianclark7693]

Awesome episode....I went to Heaven Hill...Lux Row...Bardstown was closed ...and Willet...this video made me realize I have to go back as I missed so much! Thank you!!

[@jonbruce536]

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@red5standingby419]

Nice haul! Every time I'm at a store that has those behind the counter special bottles at secondary or higher prices, I always comment to them " I enjoyed visiting your museum"

[@dustintyson354]

Thanks for taking us along! Looked like a fun time

[@jeffdavenport8104]

So much fun! Thanks for sharing the adventure!

[@kennethdunham2112]

Bardstown is always a favorite stop for me and the Blind Pig is one of my favorite places to visit while I'm there.

[@remander3873]

Love me some Blind Pig! And you're totally right about the mash smell in Bardstown. I used to work down there, and I would visit The Blind Pig over lunch each time I was there.

[@Vortex1988]

Amazing finds! I'm officially jealous.

[@jheffernan13]

Thanks for continuing the series. FWIW the video issues of the past seem gone so thank you for that! :)

[@derekbullock2988]

Love these videos. Keep them coming.

[@manowire5403]

Been a while since I checked in on your channel. Really enjoy these "bourbon hunting" videos. Informative & well produced. I will watch every one of these if you keep putting them up. Thanks

[@rossgleason6693]

Loved it!

[@tom_simons]

Saw the excitement about the 4 Roses and said "I should check that one store pick that I have and see if it's the same recipe"... and sure enough it was OBSQ! Mine was a few months youngers, but 121 proof. Great video. Certainly makes me want to jump in the car and head down there.

[@garth3r879]

Us outside of KY appreciate the inside of how to make a trip count when we can make it there. It's also so frustrating to see indie stores you'd normally want to give business to selling for 1000% mark-up.

[@gerhardschote8000]

Great as always

[@hardwaymacrae7876]

A treat to see you tour the area the way I would hope to do. Great fun! Love to see more like this

[@lezlielockett3461]

Very nice haul!!! Love ❤️ these videos. Can't wait to do this one day soon!

[@jpcampbell]

This one definitely is going to put you guys over 100 K. Great series. Congrats.

[@johnnolewajka1639]

I love the hunt videos. Can't wait to go back to Louisville in May.

[@Duckhunter5175]

Great to reminisce on my Bardstown tour last year - I apparently timed it very wrong. Great finds and thanks for doing videos like this to break up the reviews.

[@davidgokey1763]

great job guys, I really enjoy these videos

[@MOFOSGTFO]

The bourbon trail is still crazy during wintertime especially during weekends. I picked up HMcK10 that was hidden under the counter at EW so thanks for the advice!

[@muellermade]

I love the hunting vids, great editing as usual, thanks guys!

[@jasono.1629]

Nice vid you two, happy for u that u found some rare bottles. . . Can’t wait to see your review on them. The Lux Row 12 year double barrel sounds tasty. Also very cool older discontinued bottles Chad picked up just for himself. Ooh and seeing that discontinued HH 6-yr green label on the shelf for $99, wish I could get that although a bit pricey. Eesh Stag Jr $399 that’s pricey but nice to see it on a shelf still. Funny seeing Sara scold Chad on spending too much lol. Dang that dinner looked good too. And those distilleries are beautiful, thanks for bringing us along!

[@miguelmunoz4147]

Yay mammys kitchen. I'm from Southern California and was just in louisville for the bourbon classic. Also did some distillery tours and went back to Bardstown. And this time ate at mammys kitchen. You guys keep up the great work.

[@therealcyber5]

This is my first time watching this channel and now Im subscribed. The couple is knowledgeable and fun to watch.,

[@ItsBourbonNight]

Thanks so much and welcome aboard! Glad to have ya.

[@matthewcastillo6440]

Love the bourbon hunting videos!

[@saa15353]

Wow great hunting day. I have never had the luck to even find one of those bottles. I do love that Blue Note Crossroads enjoy

[@GaryHennink]

Another awesome bourbon hunting video!!! The selection of bourbons is so amazing - makes me so envious in deep South Africa!!! You guys are great - keep 'em coming!! Oh and btw, your green eyes are simply mezmerisingly beautiful, Sarah!!

[@carnagereport11]

These episodes are my favorite

[@paladonis]

I have loved all of these so far, even though I don't know if I will ever get to shop any of these places ever. Seeing what's hot and techniques is always something fun. My favorite part is that you leave the liquor store names in. Don't know if you have to ask permission or not, but I am sure they appreciate it too. Especially one that was only open 3 months. It should help that place get noticed a bit more and hopefully still be there 3 years from now. The KZbin whiskey family is all about spreading the love after all. Thanks for the video!

[@davidg5308]

Nice huntin' and thanks for the share! We visited a year ago and agree the smell of the town is "mash in the air". We did a tasting at HH and completely struck out but glad you got a winner! We loved Preservation Distillery and got a few bottles there - love the RP 15 (caramel popcorn notes all day) but others were closed - need a return trip. Cheers y'all!

[@scott1970]

Really appreciate the hunting videos. My wife and I will be spending a week in Louisville next month. There will be a Whisky Row day and a Bardstown day. Your hunting videos will come in handy. Thanks!

[@alexh9935]

Love the hunting videos!!

[@rmactvc]

Just got back from a first time Bourbon Trail visit. Had a great time and snagged a few bottles at the distilleries. Had lunch at Mammy’s too. I didn’t know about all the great liquor stores there. Thanks.

[@danwilliams2223]

Love these bourbon hunt video. All your videos are great but these are the best!

[@stuartrollings602]

Very nice tour, my wife and I are planning to tour that area this year so it was great to see. Thanks!

Yes I’m a weirdo I will stay in number 09! Omg I love this overlay audio and love the BRoll the thanks at the end is amazing! 😊

[@stefanloof1643]

Love these hunting videos - please keep them up!

[@coolerunning985]

Really enjoyable upload. It's good to watch what you can get, when you're in you're US stores. Many bottle we will never see here in the UK. Looking forward to the reviews. Cheers!!

[@Newtonian40059]

Smartest and most relevant channel on KZbin. Especially post Covid where demand continues to be more challenging in bourbon...

[@ItsBourbonNight]

Thank you!!

[@Newtonian40059]

I work in KY Hospitality and I get this question daily. I can contribute. Is there a way to email?

[@ItsBourbonNight]

@@Newtonian40059 For sure! [e-mail]

[@dgsutube01]

Ah, I was just there a couple of weeks ago and managed to score some good bottles, too. The Lux Row 12 Double Barrel is excellent! I was able to get the Hardin's Creek Jacob's Well and the Knob Creek 18-Year at Jim Beam. Keystone Liquor is a regular stop when I'm going through town. I'll have to check out a couple of the other stores next time. Thanks for the tips!

[@dvandentop]

love these videos! didnt get a chance to hit blind pig in town or lux or heaven hill so was good to see them. can't wait for next hunting video

This definitely a bourbon lover's must visit destination ❤ the Hacienda style building is worth it alone! Cheers 🥂 y'all from ETn Smoky Mtns area--

[@markpiersimoni1773]

Great video, was surprised you found some of those unicorns at the distilleries at retail or close to it. Love your channel. The balance of bourbon knowledge and bourbon trial tourism hints is next level. You two are so genuine and come across as a great couple to hang out with like good friends.

Excellent video thanks

[@dangorlen3671]

We had an essentially identical itinerary when we made our first trip to Bardstown a few months ago. Wish we would have lucked out with the William Heavenhill like you guys did! Great haul.

[@patrickfreeman205]

I am so jealous. What a great trip

[@morebeer7673]

Selection-wise, the stores were unbeatable. Price-wise, not so much. Down here in Houston it's quite a bit less for a lot of what you were showing on the shelf. Surprised me actually. Thanks for sharing this adventure with us!

[@Mike-xr9gd]

Great Video! Gives a good feel for what Bardstown is like and where to go for those of us that haven't been

Thank you for the content, The recommendation for the waterfront wine and spirits was clutch. I was able to finally sample SFTB. Also Old Louisville 148.2 proof very smooth

[@jeffwinbush5039]

We were in Bardstown last October and really enjoyed the trip with Keystone and The Blind Pig two of our favorites. Really was disappointed by the Heaven Hill store, but we loved Bardstown Bourbon Company. We dropped your name on our visit to their tasting room and the lunch there was amazing. I enjoy your road trip videos.

Went to Bardstown in September for first time!!! Stayed in a cute Air BNB above one of the shops on mainstreet. LOVED IT. But didn't know as much about Bourbon then. Now I need to go back....had no idea all those allocated bottles there ;-)

Great video of the hunt. I travel to Louisville / Bardstown 4 times a year for work. My last trip, I was disappointed in the liquor stores I hit in the Louisville area. I plan to check out these that you showcased in Bardstown.

[@jonseppy]

These videos are great 👏🏼

Can't believe how much FAE01 is still on shelves in KY. Haven't seen a bottle in the upper Midwest in a loooong time. Still my fave of all the MM annual releases. Keep the bourbon hunting and distillery tour videos comin tho, great stuff! .

[@PeterTea]

I just did the same thing about a month ago driving from Chicago to Fort Myers. It’s always fun to see what is available, even if there’s a lot of over priced whiskey. I got a very old Barton 100 proof and an Elijah Craig barrel proof.

[@AVERAGEWHISKEYDRINKER]

GREAT video !!!! Awesome ending.....

[@rocketeer.]

Great show!

[@garmin1488]

Great video, was just in Bardstown, there's a new liquor store on the main st. with a huge selection and decent prices. Was also at the Wild Turkey gift shop , they had bottles of Masters Keep.

[@zacharywatts1514]

I just found this channel awesome idea this is right up my ally me being from KY I love it. Thanks for the recommendations I am one who sticks with what I know Woodford all day but have wanted to expand my horizons.

[@benjaminrobinson6383]

What an amazing day!

[@joelodico6880]

Great video, now I know where to stay , love your videos

[@ItsBourbonNight]

PLEASE READ. It has come to our attention through a comment posted here that we failed to illustrate any measures of responsibility in this video when it comes to consuming alcohol and driving. Obviously we know exactly how the day went for us, but as a viewer, your perception of our day is based solely on an edited version. What we failed to communicate in this video is who consumed which drinks, what was used for prop, how long we spent at certain locations, and that we, of course, do not condone drinking and driving in the slightest. As you did see in the video, Sara was the driver for the day which meant her consumption was limited to small tastes only. If a drink was fully consumed it would have been by Chad. We now realize that we have been taking our responsible measures for granted, and as a channel we have a responsibility to call out such measures in our videos, which we will be doing from here on out in all hunting videos. We have considered taking this video down, and re-editing and re-uploading it to better highlight responsibility, but we wanted to ask the opinion of our community first. This is something that we take very seriously and we want to handle it properly. Thanks for your time and we're happy to continue the conversation here and answer any questions.

[@josephdanko7451]

Legal limit is .08 for a reason. It’s clearly possible to drink responsibly while still driving. Nice of you to post this message to clarify, but absolutely shouldn’t be necessary. Great video as always!

[@PeaceIsBetter]

This is so funny. I was just about to ask you how often you saw police on the roads. Crazy that you posted this, thanks.

[@1125mikem]

I def thought of that because I have made 2 tours of that larger area myself and that is always the challenge. I took from your composure and demeanor and how you spoke that you were not close to drunk. I don't think u should re edit to satisfy anyone. It is plain to see nobody in this video is driving under the influence. Very interesting video! What was the best price u found for btac bottles by the way? Did u see any reasonable Blantons in any of it's forms? Cheers

[@M_Ladd]

Drinking Chinese Bourbon is a much more agregious offense! You do not owe anybody any explanations. F em!

[@dcus55]

From past trips we knew all this, wasn’t really necessary to the channel regulars, but some always have to find something to complain about.

[@Techswithpecs]

Glad you found that 4 🌹 for retail this time

[@michaelwhitford3641]

I loved this video. I need to get back to Bardstown,

[@antoniovistcoatis1541]

When we went to Heaven Hill the behind counter item was a Hawaiian tee shirt....no for real that is what they were offering. We were pretty put out by that. Lux Row was great, I like their selection a lot. Glad you guys had better results though. Great haul guys! Gratz.
