Well I'll be dipped.. I'm from Talladega, Alabama, but currently live in Dayton, Ohio.. We do get a lot of Weller here. If you're willing to wait in line and keep up with the truck delivery days you can definitely score a few bottles of Weller 107 every other month and several bottles of Weller special reserve every month...

[@breakingbelmont]

This was wild, seeing my hometown pop up in your bourbon hunts. I'm so happy y'all picked up the Detrick Rye! That's distilled locally in Dayton OH, all four barrels are 4-7 years old. Middle West is good too, distilled in Columbus, and it's a 4+ year old bourbon.

[@weeb3244]

Every time i'm back home i try to grab a bottle of Middle West, it's some solid stuff

[@100puremustard5]

The look on your buddies face at the end of the video 😂 That pretty much says it all about losing a Weller 107 😂

[@jasonmorgan6970]

I'm sure he got another bottle probably a few days after he left Ohio just did a Christmas drop with full proof Weller 12 year Weller and Fitzgerald ❗

[@clint6716]

Its cool to see Brewzle visiting all my local liquor stores.

[@kennymiller6633]

I’m more impressed that you found BCBS on the shelf in the middle of the year. Can’t wait for Black Friday!

[@connorfewell6763]

I am from Columbus. That's where Middle West Spirits is. You have to try the Middle West Michelone Reserve. It is one of my faves. Surprisingly good. Solid caramely and sweet undertones with a strong finish

[@nicholaskallaher]

Columbus local also and love their dark pumpernickel rye. Funny thing is last time I was at Northwest Wine and Spirits they had 3 cases of WSR on the floor barely touched

[@_warren6659]

Greetings from Dayton! So glad you came to my city and I hope you had a great time!

[@johnkohr2184]

As an Ohio native if you want Weller you have to be in line at the stores at drop days. You can find it if you know the distribution days and drop times (typically 9 am at open). I don't hunt all that much but have been able to get plenty of special reserve and a couple 107s at my local GE on Saturdays. Plenty of Ohio groups that you can find the store drop days in Ohio. Just know get there early as some people will be out the night before waiting depending on what is rumored to be dropping that day.

[@landaday12]

Exactly this.

[@grapeape1965]

He calls and does all that he knows how it works. The point of these videos is to find stuff out on the wild, which still does happen at those stores. It’s the same release day process pretty much everywhere across the country and then he’s going out and finding random bottles or ones a store held back and decides to put out silently after dropday etc. And we’ve seen plenty of times in these videos he creates that relationship with a store owner that is going to pay off in the future

[@bpayn8295]

Got a Weller last weekend at a Giant Eagle

[@mikeadamski6061]

​@grapeape1965 dosen't work like that in ohio and store relationships mean nothing here. The ohlq site tells you what they have so hunting is worthless and you wont find hidden bottles.

[@bpayn8295]

@@mikeadamski6061 I got another bottle of Weller today at Kroger, $25

[@steveantson9608]

You MUST go to the Century Bar in downtown Dayton next time you're here. They're voted Top 5 Bourbon Bar in the Nation. They have over 800 bottles to choose from. All the Pappy and Weller and such

[@AppalachianChaplin]

Best recommendation we could give him for OH. By far a legendary spot here

[@timp1390]

Damn. I was in Dayton about 5 years ago and not one person told me that place existed! Fck

[@RedSoxFanatic4Life]

These bourbon hunting videos are always a lot of fun.

[@Meowmeow0506]

As an Ohioan, I love weller, I do. It's easier to get here at MSRP than most places. I also enjoy the bottle lotteries to get the expensive stuff at MSRP. But part of me is jealous at the diversity other places have. Things like Bluenote, Starlight, etc that are staples most other places we don't have here.

[@apeekintime]

If I'm honest, you aren't missing much with Blue Note or Starlight (sorry fans). They are fine but most bourbon drinkers in other states wouldn't be as interested in them if they had more access to allocated BT products. That said, I don't prefer wheated profiles or lower proof bottles. I prefer my whiskey with rye and more proof so I'm not too sad that I only find Weller SR, Eagle Rare, or Blantons every few months - I don't drink them much. There are some great bottles from smaller and more regional distilleries but you can just drive to Indiana and find anything and everything you could ever want from the non BT distilleries. Most of them have distribution in Indiana since a large chunk use Indiana juice.

[@elliotonfire6203]

Night supervisor for Belmont Party Supply here, a customer said our store was in a KZbin video of yours and here it is. And yepp Tuesday mornings is our shipment receiving day. Not sure what else you do and don't know about Ohio liquor but it's wild when something rare does get allocated to the store.

[@michaeltrainum5471]

It wasn't until I started drinking bourbon, that I realized how much of a tight knit community it is. I do electrical work and it amazes me how many of my customers drink bourbon/whiskey and how many of them give bottles as gifts. I love the whiskey community. Cheers everyone! ❤🥃🥃

[@Planes_n_trains]

Four Roses, if you see it, get it, it's my favorite bourbon, especially if you can find a single barrel!

[@Batstarz100]

That Hayner you passed on is bottled in Troy Ohio. Its a blend of MGP and Bardstown. It is supposed to be based on an original recipe from the Hayner Family. Pretty good stuff and the Rye they have is really good as well.

[@easye47]

That’s a sweet looking Mk2 GTI in the back !

[@prof.schreiber8925]

Yeah, Weller is tricky and you have to know the days! Fine Wine and True Spirits has it on Weds. Arrow and Centerville on Fridays (mornings at Arrow). Those are the times I've always had luck, being a Daytonian. And I hope you enjoy the Detrick, I love the Belle of Dayton products.

[@ranman1959]

I was at the last store shown on the day you were there. As others have mentioned, Weller Antique is now only dropping every 4-6 weeks. If you’re not there within a couple of hours of it being put out it is gone. Too many guys in Dayton are truck chasers that will spend hours in a parking lot to flip a bottle for a $40 profit. When it last dropped 3 weeks ago at that store they got 6 cases; that was gone within a couple of hours. WSR can hang around for a few days. And Pies & Pints is great; try the Grape & Gorgonzola & pizza next time.

[@Timmylikesthings]

As a Daytonian - Weller comes in waves. Two weeks ago, OWA was everywhere, this week it’s WSR and buffalo trace. OWA isn’t something that will sit on the shelf for long either. If you don’t get there early-ish on drop day, you don’t get one. I’ve bought 4 bottles of OWA in the last year without waiting in lines but I got there within an hour of open. My local spot still had Weller Special Reserve from two weeks ago, so it sits on shelves longer than usual.

[@BourbonRetriever]

Weller 107 is the best of the standard Weller line up

[@JjBlinks1234]

Oki reserve is by far one my top 5 whiskeys I have. I recommend picking one up if you come across it

[@kirkbac]

Loved that y’all came to Dayton, Ohio. My spot in Springfield, Ohio is Wine works and Keg and Cork❤

[@jameserdmann2468]

My daughter just picked me up a bottle of Weller SR in a small town east of Dayton. It’s all about right place right time.

[@Jerry-ut2em]

Im from dayton and have been watching you for a while. It was really cool to see you make a video in my city! Fine wine and spirits has a weekly allocated drop where i got blantons and eh taylor this month.

[@zulickj]

I love the OKI. Its a fantastic blend.

[@TryinitwithOliver]

😂😂😂😂 Brewzle- “That’s is a Fancy bottle, I’m scared 😱 of Fancy bottles.” 😂2 seconds later “That’s a nice looking bottle, is that a Rye. “ 😂😂😂

[@zachmassey4168]

The High N' Wicked cask strength is very good. Also the High N' Wicked The Judge is phenomenal.

[@TheTravelingCyclist1]

@brewzle, Not sure if anyone has said it already but we call the Middlewest Wheat the "Stagg Killer". Tends to win in blinds against Stagg a ton. BTW your next Ohio hunt needs to be in Columbus:)

[@danieloliver2659]

I live in the Dayton area, and I find Weller weekly. You went to some of the most picked over stores in the area. I’ve got 4 stores that as long as you know the day and the time, you can get SR and 107.

[@santateaches6470]

Loved that you were in Dayton. Lived in the area most of my life and you hit most of the ones I usually hit when I am in the area. On the coast of North Carolina now and it is really hard to find a lot of the bottles we could acquire in Ohio. Never even seen a bottle of Weller in NC. Antique 107 is one of my top picks also

[@micahjones9528]

Just started watching your videos about 2 months ago. It’s dope seeing you come through Dayton. I just picked up a Weller and a Buffalo trace . Weller is at every liquor store right now. I’m hunting for Blanton’s with no luck.

[@ChangeHumanity]

Rocky is a good guy. Great guest to have on the video. Hooked you up with thay 107!

[@allenmcquhae]

I went to three locations of the same liquor store. At the last one I went to, the guys there were more than willing to let me know they had Weller, Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare, and other hard to find bottles “in the back”. They were told by management to keep them for the local bars. However, the local university is out for summer and cash is king, so I cleaned them out of many bottles at retail prices.

[@mattrowland4230]

Came to Ohio a little too soon. My local liquor store has gotten red and green Weller the last 3 weeks. Last weeks drop was Ehbp, Ehsb,Blantons, Eagle Rare, Weller Antique, Weller Special Reserve, and Bowman.

[@krisweaver2050]

Another awesome hunt. What's up Brewzle?

[@TheWorldAccordingToJ]

You are experiencing what us Ohioans go through all the time. Basically no BTAC unless you learn the allocation days and line up a couple of hours before opening. I was 20th in line once. By the time I got to the front they were out of EH Taylor and Weller 107, and that is limit 1 per person. I settled for Weller Special Reserve with the funky aftertaste. Middle West Spirits is pretty good btw. One good thing about the liquor in Ohio: Same price across the State. Ran by the State Liquor Agency.

[@stompingpeak2043]

Yes I live in north east Ohio and there's a store around here that gets a few special bottles. It's a smaller town but they will usually order what customers want. So you'll always be able to get a few bottles of what you usually get whenever you want.

[@SolarsoulGaming]

We are in southeastern Ohio/WV area and we also get Weller once a month, also Eagle Rare and Blanton's comes in quite often.

[@brianwalsh9778]

Arrow Wine & Spirits...my favorite!

[@steveantson9608]

I live in Dayton and know where Weller shows up every week. Last week they had 8 Weller 107 and 8 Weller special reserve when I went there at 6PM.

[@geraldp3790]

just watching you guys eat all that put me in a food coma, plus the desert... Great video... looking for Weller myself. been really hard in PA.. Have to check out Pies N Pints in WV.

[@msbarhorst]

It depends on what time of year you come if it’s late in the green bottle season you will see case of it at the store. The 107 you have to be there at the drop and be one of the first 6 in line. Unless they have something better that day with the 107 drop.

[@Manofkp33]

I had one of the best hunts that came about randomly while meeting up with family. I went to total wine in Myrtle Beach SC and was just looking. I wanted something familiar but special. I came across Four Roses Small Batch Select. 60ish bucks and one of the best pours I've had in a long time. Great flavor straight or on one big cube. The cube opened it up a lot and the flavor was outstanding. Good value at 104 proof too.

[@littlebode11]

I know it is an older video I like to revisit, but I live in Akron OH up by Cleveland and we do get large Weller shipments about every month to 2 months Last week i got 7 Green and 2 Red 107s all msrp and I also acquired an Eagle Rare. It bothers me its not easier so come by as often since we are so close to the source but that's the life of the HUNT.

[@JoostinSteg]

Hocking Hills Moonshine does do the distillation on site. I have been to their distillery in Logan, Ohio.

[@thevalley9780]

My home town! You need to get to arrow wine on Thursday mornings, that's when they drop the good stuff. Wish I could have bumped into you, love your videos!

[@nofx87]

In my hometown! I'm originally from Dayton, moved to the west coast like 15 years ago. All I hear was Weller was everywhere in Ohio but every time I'm home I can never find it, besides maybe an occasional bottle of special reserve.

[@noah4600]

Dude the hayner rye is pretty damn good! Back in the day hayner was the biggest mail order distillery in the usa until prohibition i believe. They found some old bottles and blended stuff together to make it as close to the original. I believe they are working on distilling their own though

[@J0HN3]

Noble Oak is one of my personal favorites. Sleeper.

[@troyc.5667]

Live in Columbus Ohio and I can usually find 107 on drop days about once every four weeks. Come back for a month and you will find a bottle! Oh…. You need to try the Middle West Spirits cask strength ported pumpernickel rye. I promise you will love it.

[@zacheades3417]

Pies & Pints is amazing! And I live 45 minutes East of Dayton and can go pick up Weller at my local Kroger!

[@CorahFtw]

Loved watching TJ take a swig of the bottle in the parking lot, when you have no glens I guess!

[@ronmartin5971]

Nice video. Glad he honored that Weller. I’m dying to try any form of it. I refuse to pay the secondary and I haven’t even seen a bottle in person. I’m also looking to try more wheated bourbon.

If you come across it. I recommend Starlight Distillery Double Oak. I live 2 hours SW of Dayton.

[@jondilly1974]

Weller gets dropped at least twice a month and flows for a few hours at most. It won’t usually last more than a few hours. Occasionally a store will get enough cases for it to last for a few days, but that’s rare. Usually it won’t last the line.

Was pretty awesome to see you shopping at the same places I bourbon hunt. I will say, though, if you're not in line when they drop allocated bourbon each week, you won't see them long after. Except for the Weller Special Reserve.

[@Griffyyyy]

I'm a big fan of that Middle West Wheated Bourbon, was on an Ohio trip and picked one up, enjoy!

[@jwwolter]

All depends on the day for when you'll find Weller. There is a ton but you'll know when it's being delivered as there will be people in line waiting at the stores. If you make it down o Cincy, let me know as would happily share some good pours. Cheers

Dietrich is Dayton local, it's the only one I am relatively sure is distilled, aged, and bottled here. Other than that, there are several Columbus distilleries that are doing everything in house too: Watershed is good and Middle West does some interesting stuff.

[@powerman2442]

In Ohio you have to learn drop days/times. Once you do you can hit up a different store every day of the week for their allocated drop if you wish to. I've managed to acquire four OWA in a two day period fairly easily. You just have learn each stores schedules. It's not the best system but for from the worst.

[@graeme13]

I got a 107 last weekend in Northern Ohio. Chatted in line with a guy who was in from PA to get it. I will try Pies & Pints next time I'm in Lexington or Cinci.

You were just 35 miles away from me in Sidney. Getting Weller and Buffalo has gotten harder since BT fired their distributor and are suing them. I had a nice stash of each, but with getting them harder to find, it is a challenge. My son in law and I did a tour and tasting at Indian Creek Distillery. It was nice , informative and differant, but the bottle of 1820 Bourbon I bought has an odd taste and smell to it. Maybe it will clear up, but I dought it. I enjoy your videos a lot. Good luck in your search.
