Hometown right near Everett’s sometimes is good. And Rockton Wine and spirits in Rockton is great with a great owner!

[@WisconsinBourbonBros]

Thank you for the recommendations! We will check those out, we are in that area regularly.

[@ps138vs2cavi]

Great video ty

[@WisconsinBourbonBros]

TY! Appreciate you taking the time to comment.

[@RogueStogie17]

Another beautiful day for a bourbon crawl

[@WisconsinBourbonBros]

Yes indeed

[@davevogelsang6791]

I was gifted the Dexter and it is not bad. Woodman’s Rockford, Illinois is my go to store. Calumet 16 for $128, Calumet 15 for $109, Old Forester 1910 for $46 and 1920 for $49. Great store picks and they put out allocated products on random days and random times. 🥃

[@WisconsinBourbonBros]

Agreed completely! We’ve even picked up Weller at Rockford location in the past. EC18yr was available there not too long ago

[@cgoldens]

Woodmans in Volo, IL is my go to, always great prices and I’ve gotten to know the manager, which has benefits

[@WisconsinBourbonBros]

Make a friend behind the counter!! This is everything. Cheers!

[@Ilikebourbonalot]

That Pinhook War horse 8 year is fantastic.

[@WisconsinBourbonBros]

Oh yes! Agreed 👍

[@jeffnelson3275]

Wild Turkey Camp Nelson…. Can’t go wrong with that bourbon.

[@WisconsinBourbonBros]

You should know!

[@Skywalker0708]

Ohhh, Iove Lake Geneva.

[@WisconsinBourbonBros]

Yes! It’s gorgeous

[@bugsymayhem2240]

That looks like an all day event! Jim Beam 7 I hear is awesome!

[@WisconsinBourbonBros]

This certainly was an all day endeavor!

[@SawdustNCoffee]

I’m having a pour of Garrison Brothers Lady Bird at Ayras Bourbon Lounge in Oak Creek. The Bourbon Bros just walked in what are the odds. 🥃

[@WisconsinBourbonBros]

Great meeting you today! You’ve got great whiskey taste & a real pleasure to chat with.

[@bf13137]

Everett’s also has a glass case where they keep any allocated stuff that they have, did you guys miss it or just choose not to show it for some reason? They also do an allocated whiskey event every winter where you can get some good stuff.

[@WisconsinBourbonBros]

They do have an awesome allocation event! Their case was pretty bare when we were there, but we did meet the owner who had ALL of the good stuff in his office. It’s a great location!

[@bf13137]

@@WisconsinBourbonBros I always figured they must hoard all of that stuff. When they have that allocated sell-off, there’s Pappy and Master’s Keeps and Heaven Hill 18s and a zillion Staggs and so on, and I’m like “where was this stuff all year when I came in?!” I wish he’d put a bit more of that stuff out on the floor, but it is very cool to get a whole bottle haul of it at the end of the year.

Thank you for the support! 🙏

[@forlornHope]

Cheers 🥃

[@WisconsinBourbonBros]

Right back at you! 🥃

[@majhaze]

I really like what y’all are doing with your channel…HOWEVER… can I give you some unsolicited feedback? I would love to hear you explain a little more about the bourbon… for example.. why are you looking for the 7 year Ben Holliday vs the 6? I have a 7 so I’m just curious. And so on. The quick cuts are nice and to the point but you guys are fun to watch so dont be afraid to let some fluff naturally happen into the video. Not that you’re asking for my opinion! Thanks and looking forward to more!

[@WisconsinBourbonBros]

Thanks Paul, this is welcomed advice and greatly appreciated. Thank you for sharing this. Keep it coming!

[@shawnhughart3544]

Ben Holladay! 🤤 Local store has the SRW on sale for $60!

[@WisconsinBourbonBros]

SRW is delicious!!!

[@TheOnion12]

Those CN-E WT bottles are great. Riley’s in Madison had a bunch back in the spring

[@WisconsinBourbonBros]

Good to know! Thank you 🙏

[@ConradF27]

The MB roland rye is really good!. If you have the opportunity to grab it, you should

[@WisconsinBourbonBros]

Thank you, we have enjoyed a lot of their line up so far!

[@mrpapinchock]

Camp Nelson rickhouses don’t just put out Kentucky Spirit but also Russell’s Reserve and Single Rickhouse.

[@WisconsinBourbonBros]

BIG love for Russels on our channel! More for Camp Nelson now that we know this. Thanks for sharing

[@c_daniels89]

First stop Stinebrink's Piggly Wiggly in Lake Geneva......checks notes.... actually in Delavan lol

[@WisconsinBourbonBros]

That is my mistake on the edit...😐 But once Brandon told me we laughed and said well someone will figure it out! Haha nice work!

[@c_daniels89]

@@WisconsinBourbonBros You guys picked some good spots, I love in Walworth and Daniels Foods and Walworth Cellars usually have a nice variety for us locals

[@stevehoppenjan]

I knew there is a Beloit, WI and a South Beloit, IL, but never knew there is a Beloit, IL.

[@WisconsinBourbonBros]

Sorry we were probably a little off in our editing. Beloit, WI. South Beloit IL.

[@CharlieBravo362]

Nice video. Is that JB7 is as good as they saying?

[@WisconsinBourbonBros]

For $22 it’s BETTER!

[@johnconnor3329]

Congratulations! You guys spent more on gas than bourbon.

[@WisconsinBourbonBros]

Gas is Free in Wisconsin

[@Freedomishere-im6ug]

Camp Nelson C was codem/destroyed if I remember right

[@WisconsinBourbonBros]

We were not aware of that, thanks for sharing

[@JN-cg6xy]

EC Toasted isn’t allocated anymore. It changed like 2 months ago

[@WisconsinBourbonBros]

We’ve noticed! It’s everywhere 😀 the world is better with more Toasted.

[@brandongoody]

Does the Piggly wiggly have store picks?

[@WisconsinBourbonBros]

Definitely! The first wall of single barrels mostly consisted of store picks.
