[@ChemicalRobP]

Ya got me. Bought my first from them just now. I had been looking for a bit though.

[@Unburdened792]

I don’t understand why I love watching this dude hunt for bourbon so much.

[@weezyfkitty3068]

I don’t even drink and I love watching his channel and his hunts!

[@samiam32]

1) he’s incredibly likable and positive. 2) he’s genuinely passionate about the craft, which can’t be duplicated.

[@jandyallday]

Shhhhhh just let brewzle do his thing to you!!

[@CountryTortoise]

Honestly don't know why I'm here lol

[@louwink-ym3vx]

Cause you cant😂!

[@peacefulsurfer]

massive shout out to the guest, he was really damn solid. no bs special crap, knowledgable, and personable. great addition

[@whiskeylandtv]

agreed

[@Jonchillfiltered]

I was about to comment this. The most engaged and compelling guest brewzle has had so far by a noticeable margin. I really enjoyed the conversation.

[@Roys_Rickhouse]

Your tour guide knocked it out of the park! Well spoken and knowledgeable.

[@elgallodeojinaga6909]

That guy seemed like one of the more knowledgeable guest bourbon hunters

[@whiskeylandtv]

he knows his stuff for sure

[@kyleelliott512]

The local guy with him seem to really know his stuff and especially his local stuff, chill dude too

[@therinsig]

Disco #11 is almost assuredly 78% Wild Turkey juice. Bardstown tour guides have hinted at it, and the mash bill matches. If you look at some of the older blends, they've had 12 year KY bourbon of the same mash bill, then Disco #11 has 13 year, and the new Disco #12 has 14 year KY bourbon of the same mash bill. It sounds like they buy Wild Turkey's off profile whiskey that either doesn't make the cut for WT101 12 year or RR13, and use that.

[@kennybildner8965]

I don't even really drink anymore and was never a bourbon drinker but I enjoy watching the bourbon hunting videos

[@camdenhochgesang6554]

Peerless can do no wrong as far as I’m concerned. Everything I’ve had from them is spectacular.

[@whiskeylandtv]

same experience here

[@patrickn8355]

“That’s $17 I’m never gonna get back” 😂

[@BradyRoman-cy6ue]

at the 12:45 mark there is a Middle West Dark Pumpernickel at $69.99. Buy that all day long, so good, and that price is $10 lower than I've seen.

[@nicholasbragg8765]

We have a local store that has been selling that dark pumpernickel at cask strength for 47.99. They haven't figured it out yet cause it's a new product from them and I've been buying them and storing them cause it's damn special. Best surprise rye since a Riverset store pick a few years back

[@jasonhunt2909]

D11 is phenomenal! I killed one bottle & still have a bunker bottle. It’s definitely a large percentage of WT13.

[@bryanmorton1529]

that Hidden Barn bottle at the 12:42 mark is pretty solid. have batch 2 and enjoying it! can tell former face of Old Forester (Jackie Zykan) brought her well established blending acumen to Hidden Barn

[@grantrabalais21]

Its crazy watching this guy hunt bourbon is better than anything on tv

[@sleezyclips8068]

One bite shoutout was spot on

[@andrel3]

In my hometown!!! Glad you had a good local guide

[@ConwayLitty]

I've always been a beer guy, but Ive been hooked on your bourbon hunting videos and ive been going to liqour stores just looking around, Im going to try some one of these days!

[@chezlyndaniels7872]

I'd choose most Bourbon collections over most Scotch collections any d@ng day. Started on scotch but fell in love with Bourbon and never going back.

[@luke144]

You guys are insane, no offense but I would take scotch over bourbon any day. I'm not a big drinker. Maybe that's why. There's no way in hell I'm drinking more than one!

[@SHHDADDYSWORKN]

Total Wine sold me on a 1792 full proof pick today after I already intended on getting some: Bakers 7, OGD 114, and a Larceny barrel proof.

[@chrisbriggs9418]

I like the rouses...can always find alot good stuff there! Missed gulf coast and couple others...

[@licensedtwochill]

Gulf Coast, Bedico Market, and Martin's Wine are good stops as well.

[@MrNIckjolicoeur]

Awesome. Hit all the good spots. Thanks for leaving me a dettling. Picked up that second one at river bend and it's incredible. Total wine has the high proof meleck now too.

[@BondingOverBourbon]

We tried OH Ingram River Aged, and it's decent enough bourbon, but it's not going to knock your socks off. That Mary Dowling, on the other hand, is worth every single penny. If it wasn't for the pricepoint we would plow through them without thinking about it.

[@scottcrowell361]

This guide is the best or a least one of the best you have had!

[@RossMalagarie]

Brewzle with the one bite everybody knows the rules! MY MAN!

[@toddholdren3284]

I was at my local PA store yesterday (all state run) and this couple walked in and asked, “Do you guys carry Pappy’s?” 😂😂😂😂😂 I’ve never even seen a bottle of buffalo trace there.

[@Defx10]

Fun Fact: The FWGS usually keep 1L's of BT in the back, reserved for bars and restaurants. But, if you ask for it, they'll usually sell it to you, especially if you chat the people up at the store a bit and get to know them.

[@TMassGamr]

Hey Brewzle! I’m not sure if you ever found out why some of the scotch you are seeing has unicorn stoppers on top of them. I’ve been to the UK a few times now and noticed the unicorn coming up a bit. The unicorn is Scotland's national animal and a symbol of the country's history, culture, and landscape. The unicorn has been associated with Scotland since the 12th century. It is a representation of their royalty and identity. Love the channel! Thanks!

[@VickVinager]

Will not be disappointed in the Disco 11. Great pick up

[@gregfletcher6420]

Right here in my back yard. You have given me a couple new spots to check out.

[@jeremywarren5748]

Triple Nickel looks so nice

[@BuckMcAntlerson]

Not gonna lie... Getting a little concerned about Brewzle's health and weight. When you get so big you walk with the wobble it's a dangerous place to live. I hope he can find a way to get healthy and stick around for decades!

[@radbrad1991]

He's already lost a lot of weight believe it or not. I think he's on a strict diet.

[@lukeb3930]

I was thinking the same thing. Not trying to be pestering

[@tylerdixson1854]

@@radbrad1991he’s gained a ton of weight in the last 7-8 months

[@BuckMcAntlerson]

@@radbrad1991 I don't believe that's true. Maybe on a short timeline. On longer timeline though, certainly not lost.

[@sirrjjay9583]

This guy's voice is so immaculate like I just got into whiskey I never really once like really got into alcohol but this guy right here he has a pretty good opinion on stuff and He's definitely entertaining

[@lsuwakeboarder]

Pegleg porker 12 is absolutely phenomenal. One of my favorites outside of the price.

[@T-Spoon2319]

I went to ragged branch distillery here in Virginia.. the Louisiana release is the regular bourbon with a Louisiana label, I bought one just because that’s where I grew up but it is one you’d use for cocktails for sure.

[@CJP-Bourbon]

I would've loved to buy the K.Luke Batch 7 bottle that sold-out so fast online last year. Never did get one. Great video TJ.

[@nickp5511]

Nice stores! Discovery 11 seems like 13yr Wild Turkey and the 10yr seems like Jim Beam with Bardstown’s 6yr. Very nice pour!

[@kingkrow420]

All Peerless products are worth their prices in my opinion. Everything they do is legitimately small batch. The High Rye Bourbon is only like 10-15 barrels

[@poptartgodtier]

Babe wake up new brewzle video just dropped! *she left years ago due to my bourbon addiction.

[@Defx10]

I stayed single, because I figured they were just gonna leave anyway.

[@carlsoll]

9:55 That’s *so cool* I like the crafting part of whisky/bourbon 👉

[@twotonetim8381]

I work at a liquor store and I tasted that world whiskey Society Obtainium that one I tasted, and it was at 140 proof and it was great

[@neilbrucker5985]

I just found an old Forester bottle in bond from 1968-1973. Its 100 proof but a bit spicy for me,also found a calvert whisky from 1976 that is only 80 and it is pretty good for a newbie even tho its not bourbon.

[@Sidottu]

Cole was like a younger version of you, Brewzle Jr. 😂

[@saintbahm1876]

7 3 is putting out some great pours! I love the local distilleries.

[@ras1988]

That Rouse’s Market WRDO store pick is outrageously good. Picked some up while working in Lake Charles.

[@lisacampbell6617]

In the mid to late 60's 12 year Bonded Old Charter was to die for.

[@thomasanderson2870]

Sooo many good things on the shelf down there. Dettlings and Crittendens on the shelf 😖 . Man we don't have that selection in michigan 😕

[@jonathanbluhm4765]

Dettling is such a great bottle. I have a cask strength that is a 6-grain and 5 years old. Sooooo goood.

[@robohobophobic]

I'm heading back from Japan on Friday if you need some more Wild Turkey 12.

[@Lithanify]

Than New Riff Single barrel @12:25 is worth a grab. I like it about as well as rare breed... drinks hotter though.

[@nickstar166]

I couldn’t help but notice the guy in the background at the bar drinking beer with a straw. 😂

[@tpg5974]

14:46 "one bite... everybody knows the rules..." Brilliant. You should trademark that!

[@radbrad1991]

That's a bit from Dave Pino's pizza reviews. 😂

[@coywagoner779]

Hammond/Madisonville is a different animal than over here in Baton Rouge, but we’ve had the cask JT Meleck. Just got the 524 ECBP and Larceny. Toasted is showing up more, too. Better chances of KC12 over that way vs here.

[@Hossyboy420]

Love the food break in the middle of the vid 🔥 lowkey need more food review content from u TJ

[@Bourbonlovin]

JT Meleck 118 is a good pour. We have it plentiful around here

[@haroldsmith7044]

LOL on you being banned from Piggly Wiggly. I had this mental image of your face on a poster with "do not serve this man" printed on it! 🤣🤣🤣

[@davidellis6468]

I've been to Peg leg Porker's place in Nashville, a) the BBQ is very good as is their banana puddin. I tried their bourbons in their place and I really enjoyed them. If you can find them, try them, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

[@Mr.KobeZoom]

HUNTING LETS GO 🍿

[@whiskeylandtv]

woot woot!

[@jakobtrest5513]

Loved it when i lived there! Great finds and available 7 days a week!

[@crowntug]

Great tour guide!

[@joshgladfelter9597]

Bro, you had good instincts to grab the fried chicken. in southern Louisiana the best fried chicken is going to come from a gas station or liquor store.

[@trxptamine]

come to Hall's Wine and Spirits, if you're ever in the DFW area in TX! we're a liquor store/bbq spot/gas station

[@chrisroach2213]

Peerless double Oaked for $48 is a steal compared to local prices for me

[@cajunalabamaman]

At Rouse's in Slidell La. the higher end bottles are behind the service counter!

[@averagesavage8367]

Yeah, half of my subs are food dedicated, and I can say the consensus is that the south has the best chicken and more often than not it is sold in gas stations. I live in northern MN and the nearest town Bemidji has a Northdale Oil gas station with the best chicken in town. Create away, I'll sub and watch!

[@TheFullsmokingbar]

“We didn’t find any allocated bottles.” 5 gallons of Old Carter on the top shelf lol.

[@Brewzle]

"We didn't find any we bought". I have tons of Old Carter.

[@keenanholcomb5680]

I love that disco 11, picked one up two days ago. Crazy complex… sooooo goood

[@odomandr]

That Paul Sutton has Alabama ties. You should be interested in that for the grains from Aliceville even though it's distilled in Kentucky

[@DavidSmith-hh3cc]

What do you know about IJW Whiskey and their wheated whiskey Old Emmer? Also you need to visit Ragged Branch and a few other distilleries when you visit VA.

[@Danbud1984]

Fun seeing you in my neck of the woods

[@adoniyahubentaom1182]

“You chose poorly.” 😂😂😂

[@knug0529]

I don’t know if you’ve mentioned it, but you need to invest in an app or something like that where you can scan a bourbon and it puts it in your inventory so when you go out you know if you have it or not. You would have access to your whole inventory.

[@Brewzle]

It's in the works 🔥

[@OutdoorsWithShawn]

I have the 73 Bywater. It's a good four grain. But I prefer a 4 grain without rye in it, such as the Lee W Sinclair. Ragged Branch Wheated is ok. But their Double Oak Wheated is way better. Especially in a store pick.

[@iamclayscholes]

Great summary of MGP. 👏🏻

[@fernandodelarosa5160]

Giant Texas Distillers has a great bar here in Houston at the distillery when you come down.

[@MattTigers]

Talk to Phillip at Distillerie Acadian about doing a barrel pick. 🤠

[@ericbryant8196]

13 yr old Wild Turkey at barrel proof is Russell’s Reserve 13. Disco 11 is the available alternative to RR13 IMO.

[@dbustle]

I found the Batch 12 in a store in Orlando for 89 and you had to purchase a store pick. Was about 120 in after taxes. Great bottle.

[@Curlyhairfro1]

Thanks for the Raley's shoutout again!!

[@noworldforeric]

You should look up the story behind Mary Dowling and John Dowling. Made me want the bottle and that's one I plan on grabbing. I have not seen it in the wild yet myself. Also, Peerless is freakin fantastic. I have their Toasted Batch 1, it sold out for 125 at the distillery, I got it for 99$ and two people behind me also got a bottle at Party Source, and most people say their Double Oaked Bourbon/Rye and their High Rye Bourbon are even better.

[@dealbilly420]

Nice to see some bottles of Whiskey Witch somewhere outside of Indiana.

[@sean8039]

Yea, you should’ve got that peerless double oak rye. That was a delicious bottle!

[@korgs1302]

Meat market / liquor stores are a totally a thing up North in WI

[@echofps1054]

I bought the Double Oak single barrel rye from peerless at their distillery. It is good stuff!

[@rogertriplett2344]

I see everyone seems to look for the very high proofs, I really prefer the 80 to 100 proof. I love the vanilla, Carmel and oak flavors I really don't like the burn of high proofs.

[@timsmith3923]

I’m a big guy like you TJ, and I always like the button ups you wear in your videos 1). What brand are they and 2). Get them to sponsor ya!

[@switchflow5405]

I cried when you passed on The Clover 😣 had it once and never seen it again.

[@jvergen]

So I'm going to keep pushing Rush creek distillering in Harvard Illinois, you need to go and talk with them about barrel picks and tasting .

[@ExpandingCounsciousness]

Man we get stung with taxes and import duties so badly here in Australia, even taking exchange rate and the cost of transportation into account we easily pay double and triple the price for quality bourbon.

[@avg8or]

Please go to the other Mandeville Rouse’s. So much more bourbon focus. (Closer to Causeway)

[@brandonboughrara2859]

Seeing you in my local stores is crazy😂

[@markolson9000]

I've heard it's 13 yr Turkey and the other 10 yr Kentucky is Beam and the Other 6 yr Kentucky is their own juice Mark in SoCal

[@Thrashzer]

All my spots down in Mandeville! And Riverbend Market is THE BEST!

[@Mizeys]

Riverbend used to be really good, but the guy that ran the bourbon side of it sold it in December of 23. Got a lot of good picks and allocated stuff from them. They used to do monthly tastings as well. Sad that he sold it

[@Isolden11]

Oh I love the food reviews as well!

[@brineshrimp8603]

The Ingram Bourbon is good The blue bottle is better than the white Come down further South next time Grocery store called Cannata's Gas station called S&T Couple Rouses in the Houma area Lots of store picks

[@freddybear4806]

acquistapace in Covington is a good place to hunt . 15 minutes north of Mandeville

[@taylorwoodham7555]

Come to west ga. Around Carrollton we have some good stores with good prices

[@WheelTek86]

Yes! You should do a gas station food trail while burbon hunting

[@BourbonHunter93]

I love that you guys stop to get food and rate it it's cool. But I get hungry there after.. save some chicken for me dark meat please😂

Wish i knew you was down this way welcome to louisiana sorry i wasnt able to get you some of my whiskey to get your opinion on it

Bourbon and fried chicken hunting? Yes

[@daviddrust1219]

Grocery store bourbon prices are the best...I get Blanton for $65 and Eagle Rare for $36 here in Indiana
