As someone who has never had a drink and dont plan on drinking alcohol I feel like im becoming a connoisseur in the bourbon world just by watching all these videos over the last year

[@sideshowonacid]

That’s amazing! Make sure it stays that way!

[@DirtyHairy01]

Why don’t you want to drink alcohol?

[@daij8172]

Same I don’t like bourbon but love watching and learning

[@noapologizes2018]

It's fine not to drink alcohol, but it's been around for thousands of years, in one form or another. Abusing it is not good, but abusing anything is bad. So, because you do not drink, I will have a drink for you. Cheers . . . . .

[@PostalXD]

@@noapologizes2018 Yeah and I see how its anti bacterial aspects has helped humans when clean drinking water was hard to find. But at its core its poison, that your body converts to a worse poison. But im not going to judge anyone as its their own choice 👍

[@3800481]

Great video!!! My dad and I were the ones that drove from TN. He and I cracked ours open that night when we got home (it’s awesome for those lucky enough to get one), and the other 4 were gifted to my brothers for the holidays. This drop made a lot of folks in Middle TN happy! Thanks again, Brewzle!

[@davidpugh8772]

i used to live in Middle TN don't really miss it much but there's a liquor store off broad street in Murfreesboro, TN that has some insane selections

[@SRVandDtrouble]

[@markwalsh2709]

Great video. I don't like the secondary market. I'm not so upset when they are buying one bottle, but I know flippers that have hookups and they buy tons of bottles, and no one else gets one. I lost out on a Marker's Mark Cellar Aged due to a store knowingly selling to a flipper and let them buy all they had. It's not good. They are increasing the price of whiskey overall

[@iamchillydogg]

Well you lose customers.

[@Ren505nm]

No they just sold out and can order more .

[@claytonmitchell5685]

A fellow Norman, OK resident here. I can’t even imagine how long that man has waited in line at Byron’s in OKC for their allocated drops. Godspeed to him! 😂

[@chaddeininger2076]

Thanks for the Mississippi video. I grew up a few miles from where that spillway liquor store now exist. Of course that store was not around back 30 years ago but it was a nostalgic watch. I live in Louisville now and love the bourbon culture. Keep up the great work sir!

[@coltonwinkler5473]

Really enjoy watching these videos! Fun to see all the great people and hear their them talk about what they love.

[@dustinstegmaier9896]

Another great video man. I picked up the Elijah Craig barrel proof last night. It’s a great bottle for sure. The next bottle on the list is either the small batch vdn finish Huber, or the jack single barrel barrel proof if I can find one.

[@dustinstegmaier9896]

@x5j94 not in the Kansas City area they aren’t. We don’t get a lot of special bottles in Missouri.

[@enasdad]

Secondary is what finding a rare bottle at MSRP fun. It also gives bourbon a spotlight. I have no problem with it. Free market

[@numanuma20]

Thanks for the Chattanooga recommendation. Went and bought the scotch cask and it’s been my new favorite.

[@Isolden11]

I'd love another barrel pick video, it's really cool to see the behind the scenes stuff

[@Brewzle]

We've got plenty more coming

[@malicioustactics6846]

Anything you do with Crittenden is awesome. Matt seems like such a down to earth guy.

[@seanreid5357]

So I am from Canada, we get very few bottles up here. We have a liquor release and you need to show up the evening before if you want to get anything good. We are regulated so they can not mark anything up here. Will be making a trip across the border to go on a hunt.

[@justinhillhouse8906]

4:07 I make my KZbin debut. Great event, bottles, and content! Enjoyed the Crittenden's barrel 666 for Halloween and eager to try their Three Ryes Men coming in a few weeks. Keep up the good work, TJ!

[@blairwright7344]

Great vid. I suggest cask strength double oaked for a Brewzle Crittenden pick.

[@chadhubbard1817]

Revival is top teir fantastic! If you are ever within an hour of the place it's a must stop. The dusty collection is insane! Brad is a super knowledgeable guy and great to chat with. It's worth a trip in it's own to stop in.

[@chadbell7564]

That's the most purple tops I have ever seen at one place

15:17 I’m in the middle, I collect other things. But - if I travel I will hit up shops and see what they have to buy. And if they have a good selection and I have the money I will buy as much as possible.

[@crushthequarter6863]

The only problem with flippers, is they tend to buy them all and as you stated it is part of the problem with shortages of goods. If a person can make some coin by flipping it..do it, but leave some on the shelves for others....as in all things...do in moderation.

[@sethjones3158]

[@GamerNxUSN]

wow, I wish that kind of store existed here, those purple tops would have been gone in 20 minutes, they are an hour in and have that many left? nuts!

[@Mark-sn6kh]

One of my favorite scotches is Ardbeg's Wee Beastie. A young 5 year old age statement, that tastes like it too. Heavy peat, bbq, sap, pepper notes. Let's goooo.

[@slimerone]

Just got into bourbon; started with OF 86 which was good but I got a bottle of Buffalo Trace and that actually tasted better and smoother. Tried em both in an Old Fashioned and damn they are delicioso. Wanna try Eagle Rare next

[@simonsmith3504]

ER is good but don't pay more than twice the price of local Buffalo Trace.

[@LeatherDaddy97]

I definitely prefer the old forester out of the two. Keep trying stuff, find your favorites, enjoy.

I don’t even drink but I’ve been binge watching this guys videos as of late 🤣

[@MrPlebeia]

Hello TJ, The secondary market for willet purple top 10 years is around 500-600 dollhairs depending on the mashbill. 2k for 10yr is crazyness and would never sell. OG mashbills usually higher in price and the high rye or high corn mashbills are cheaper sometimes 400-500.

[@bootcampassistant3301]

Look at how shiny that blue shirt is on TJ. Looks really nice.

[@terrylentz7735]

TJ has a great personality. You need to come up to NE Ohio

[@ronbpenn]

You can’t control what someone does with a bottle once they leave, but what I have a harder time with is liquor stores buying below MSRP then selling at secondary market prices. There’s another liquor store in the area that is hoarding all the allocated stuff to sell at secondary prices. Pretty ridiculous

[@jpallett31]

You do you but when they flip the bottles like that the liquor stores start to jack up the prices to. Which sucks makes it hard to get some of these bottles

[@GrayManSurvival71]

Good Morning Sir, Hi from Canada, I came across your videos and have watched a ton since finding them. Alas in Canada we don't have access to many of these bottles. I am a newby, with Bourbon only a week or so , so far. And in Canada We are regulated to a got run liquor system. All stores are run by the LCBO which is all stores. We have no independent stores at all. Love your videos, I am having trouble with the taste and ability to drink the stuff lol, But I don't mind it mixed. Do you think in any realm it's ok to like many types of bourbon but mixed, I love the whole aspects of Bourbon, but the taste Kills me. I'm getting there, just wish we could get many of the types you get in the US but availability is almost non existent. I bought a Buffalo trace, 80 proof and a bullet Bourbon, love em mixed with Dr Pepper lmao. Keep it up and thx for introducing me to Bourbon, your videos made it happen Thx again Sir

[@southernlogicyt]

Which part of Alabama are you in? I’m far north Alabama and lower Tennessee and it’s ridiculous to get bottles here, but very possible just high

[@Listy61]

Will take a willet purple to Australia 🙏

[@harleyschmydlapp704]

Great video!

[@blakerussell3047]

honestly if someone's flipping bottles and you're willing to pay that price sure someone in person might not get them but especially with that much at the store that just means more people can get some

[@julianmorris7954]

You should try drinking Japanese whisky some time it’s really good . has great flavors. My favorite is a bottle called from the barrel . Solid whiskey.

[@julianmorris7954]

@x5j94 you would be surprised dude . Japanese do know there whiskey really well . but guess you don’t know much about whisky so don’t really care what you think so have a nice day

[@julianmorris7954]

@x5j94 well I recommend trying Japanese whisky

[@userthomash]

As a scottish scotch enjoyer you should try cairn whisky liquor because it taste like honey

[@spicey9691]

Buddy in the leather jacket needed some whisky to smooth off that big bump he did in his car.

Amazing to see chris stapleton getting into ageing and selling bourbon! 24:56

[@mikedemicco2115]

Willet purple top has been floating around New Hampshire for awhile now….the amount of money is just baffling though

[@Klugen]

The craziest thing to me is stores not offering samples of their store picks. There's way too much bourbon out there these days and if your thought is to spend all this money on a barrel for me to buy it instead of something off the shelf, why would I?

[@Mozingotube]

we so far have sampled all our barrel picks here at spillway with the exception of the willet 10 year old. it is such a limited pick item we did not want to take one away from a customer just to verify the quality that willet is known to put out

[@Klugen]

@@Mozingotube That makes sense for sure. Glad to see this video and the sampling. Cheers!

[@ryanelkins2969]

There are many states that don’t allow samples. I’ve unfortunately never sampled a bottle before buying. I’ve learned which stores near me I can trust at this point.

[@Ren505nm]

The distillery should include 100ml testers included with the cases.

[@jmartinez4460]

I almost went to this drop. I’m glad and sad at the same time I didn’t go. Lol. Saved me lots of $$$$

[@sethrider6625]

Yeah I don't really drink and when I do I typically drink tequila, but I love the channel. Very entertaining stuff.

[@Brewzle]

Thanks Seth!

[@IvIidnight]

If they do it that way, where they can only buy 1 or 2 before everyone else gets a chance to buy them, I have zero problems with it. If you're close enough to go to the store, you had your chance, and if you don't, you never had a chance at those bottles anyways. That being said, it's disrespectful AF to go put them up for sale from the parking lot of the store who didn't upcharge YOU for them.

[@GamerNxUSN]

im sure I will see one of those purple tops in the OBD group soon.

[@nlambert82]

Revival in Covington KY is incredible. They sell OLD unopened bottles.

[@Hambone7217]

I can't imagine just stumbling into a line a hour or so before open to get a TEN YEAR WILLETT. Those bottle would never even see a shelf in Kentucky.

[@justinfowler2857]

You really need to find a good BBQ joint and have cook-off in the parking lot for those waiting in line.

[@kingsroadwrestling]

i love telling friends and family about the "bottled in xyz, distilled in Indiana" trend. They all think its wild the bottles aren't produced in the state listed on the bottle

[@LeatherDaddy97]

I mean i wouldnt really call it a trend. Mgp is good whiskey, and youve gotta wait for your stuff to age when you build a fistillery

Just got my cut above 666 barrel from spillway in the mail from a fellow whiskey group member today.

[@bkarle4570]

I find 10 year purple tops all the time for under 500 around here. They often sit on the shelves at or above MSRP for weeks. I guess there is a limited subset of drinkers willing to pay that much for a bottle so they don't sell. I don't know anyone in their right mind that would pay $2k for most purple tops - those flippers are gonna be stuck with those for a while.

[@MileHighGrowler]

Now I'm curious where "around here" is! I don't see purple tops at any price in my area.

[@apeekintime]

Yeah, Purple tops have lost their luster pretty hard. A year ago I think flippers were moving a few bottles but each week the hype slows. Also the hype for stuff like that always slows during allocation/LE season. People willing to pay up for Willet are instead spending up for BTAC, Generations, 4 Roses LE, and ETC this time of year. Sadly... as that stuff drys up they move back to paying wayyyy to much on overpriced stuff like Willet. Oh well, not my problem. I am only 1 man and I can only drink so much whiskey. I find more rare stuff at MSRP each month than I can realistically drink anyway. Each month I find at least one or two bottles like Stagg, Midwinters, Bombergers, Michters Toasted, Octomore, Weller 12, or etc. Those few bottles each month plus the normal things like ECBP/Larceny BP/Russels Private Select are more than enough. I might kill 1 bottle a month unless I have friends over so the collection just swells and swells

My dad and I were able to buy a bottle for $400 through our whiskey club, was that a good price?

Damn do it matter if you have batch one and is it only aged ?

[@PsychadelicSarsky]

19:00 my oppinion is that, anyone and everyone should be able to buy and do whatever they want with the product they bought, and in general no whisky is worth drinkling if its going for a ridiculous amount of money, im sure if its popular it will taste nice, but theres plenty of whiskies for 30 to 100 dollars that are just as nice maybe 10x more, its upto whoever whether they want to drink or not, but personally i think the money you could get flipping a whisky, could be used for way more productive things then the bragging/flexxing of drinking a alocated or fancy bourbon, its down to personal oppinion or taste but honestly i genuinely think having 1000+ dollars is better then drinking a whisky you know is going for a stupid amount secondary market, especially when so many whisky bars or pubs will sell samples.

@@jj18057 Not really. It's not a legal activity to sell on secondary and it artificially inflates an already inflated market by further increasing scarcity. I don't think it's whining at all to think it's a cheap shot for people to buy extra to turn around and re-sell them. Buy it to drink it, share it with friends and have an experience together.
