What would your opinion be on starting out on a good bourbon for first time?

Dude .. you need to check out The Morning Dram Coffee!

[@michaellanglie5502]

Bottle similar to Bakers with a larger cork size. Bright red label with a giant B and thats it with bourbon under it. And the back side with all the information in a cosmic sans script.

[@JeffWilliamsWilson]

Still hoping you try the glacial lakes South Dakota locally made. It's smooth.

[@BarrelsandBark]

Thanks TJ appreciate you letting me tag along.

[@Ironn1bbler]

Dude you seem super knowledgeable. I was surprised to see your account isnt a year old and you haven't posted in 7 months. Are you going to make more videos? I and i bet others would check it out.

[@BarrelsandBark]

@@Ironn1bbler Yes, we have some new videos coming this next week. Life and health got in the way the past 6 months. Thanks

Russell seemed like a genuine and nice guy! I really hope that Stagg at $60 didn’t get him in trouble.. 😂

[@Methoverbitches]

Oh he got fired is my guess 😮‍💨😂 especially with this video coming out

[@e_money_3105]

Oh man. I thought the same thing. Hope the owner wasn’t too mad. But…I definitely came up once like that, Crown XR Waterloo. Kid didn’t know, he rang it up, $147…Sold!

[@Thebarrel9-ho3bp]

So… here’s the thing about brewzle hunting: “ya got anything interesting or unique?” Some shops show him 10-20 unique and interesting things “nah we are being super selective” buys nothing, leaves. This shop, shown 10 interesting things, but then flips his lid (with 2 reaction clips) over a highly known bourbon because it’s highest- level tater bottle at msrp. ECBP C923 is as good. BT should never make more of their stuff I’m sure they are laughing all the way to the bank.

[@SomaticChannel]

This guy showcased the store so well, I'd be shocked if the owner was mad.

[@joshuabunkers1494]

I was coming here to post, that poor kid got canned.

[@sorinsrn5442]

Kudos to Russel, the guy is great at presenting and sales stuff! The exposure that he made for the store is much more then the 60 bucks Stagg bottle that was gifted to Brewzle :)

[@apeekintime]

Exposure for a SD business really means nothing. If you've never traveled to SD, then you might not realize how isolated that state is. Nothing is close to it. If you were traveling through SD that would only be a handful of good liquor stores to stop at because... well it's a state with less than a million people and the largest city is like 200k. Basically the entire state has as many people as the greater Louisville, KY area. Oddly, the population centers are on opposite sides of the state with very little in the middle portion of the state. If you are curious you can google the population density map of South Dakota. You have the Souix Falls area and the Black Hills area... and not much between.

[@Alexwaltman850]

As a resident of Sioux Falls, I can guarantee that Williquors doesn't need exposure. It's always busy there.

[@gregghopovich6833]

Stagg was sitting on the shelves in TX Father's Day weekend for MSRP. Sent the wife back in to grab a second bottle. Also, grabbed a bottle of Four Roses Barrel Strength for MSRP too. It was a good weekend.

[@claytonmitchell5685]

I really appreciate the honestly from the owner at Goodspirits. She's right, people need to figure out their palate before attempting to get into the allocation game. It's so easy to get frustrated early in your bourbon journey looking for allocated stuff, when there is so much good bourbon out there that's easier to find. And also so much unique stuff coming in the form of store picks that you might overlook because you're looking for Weller or Pappy or BTAC

[@user-ky5rz3lo6u]

What are some bottles you would recommend to find your palate

[@numlockkilla]

Agreed 👍

[@MSSynsyterGates]

Dear editor, I love the little cuts and meme's you put in there. The "You better count you days" Made me cackle so loudly my coworkers had to come over and watch. Keep up the good work.

[@jcc1116]

local stores holding allocated stuff for their good local customers makes sense. People who travel to grab up the high demand stuff that will never/rarely come back doesn't do anything for the store

[@johng5710]

Except when they have a KZbin channel and they're filming in the store...free advertising

Seems you like the Bourbon County stouts, but you passed right over the Surly Darkness bottles and cans. They are excellent

[@michaelbosworth4372]

I'm glad to see this as someone who got into whiskey after moving away from South Dakota (near Sioux Falls) 8 years ago and will soon be moving back.

I'm distraught after seeing you work that place out of an MSPR Stagg. Next level man.

[@erichschmidt6191]

I just just started watching you over your bourbon hunting trip brewzle. But born and raised just south of Sioux Falls, and that is the South Dakota Midwest nice for you! Love Sioux Falls, love the Midwest, plenty of great people and great prices here.

[@jdub146]

Insane find! There's like 4 stores near me that have multiple Staggs and the cheapest place is $200 and $400 at the most expensive

[@jackcross8616]

Russel should not have sold that Stagg😂

[@LordSteven00]

Finally got a E.H Taylor small batch for retail. It's OK glad I didn't pay the massive mark up. Cheers

[@biggsmikes1930]

Exactly! It’s good but not work over $50! So much better bourbon out there

[@BOWTheRyeGuy]

I passed on a barrel proof for $230. Should I have gotten it?

If you like the Goose Island BCBS don't sleep on the Surly Darkness and varients. Was above the BCBS. Firestone Walker has a magnificent barrel program to. Love the videos 1 of my favorite whiskey channels. 👍

[@bobbrown6430]

how refreshing to listen to such a nice store owner just being honest.

[@Hotlog69]

The Widow Jane Applewood Rye is pretty good. Great nose and nice sweet rye flavor. It's nice on a cool fall night.

[@jacksudduth5667]

You should ABSOLUTELY do an Old Elk barrel pick. I have an Old Elk Wheated Barrel Pick that’s one of my all time favorite whiskies. I’m scared to drink it for fear of running out! Also, Knappogue Castle 12 is great entry to Irish Whisky. It’s aged in bourbon barrels and is phenomenal. I’ve seen it in several of your videos.

[@jreezy70]

Been extremely fortunate to snag 2 bottles of Stagg at retail of $55 each, 22B and 23B. Totally because of a relationship I’ve been building for 2-3 years.

[@ryanburdue9000]

I was at Fogie’s back in July on my way back home to Indiana from a road trip to Montana. The lady that owns the place and her husband are big time in the pool cue making world. It was a really cool story she was telling me. We talked for probably 15-20 minutes and I was able to grab a JDSBBS Rye while I was there. If I lived in Sioux Falls, that would be my go to store. Went to Williquors as well while I was there but that has the big box store feel to it.

[@heathfrye1761]

Fogies is good Williquers rewards program is good. Prices are hard to beat too.

[@jaxcoop1511]

Lots of us just died when you turned away that Pikesville Rye. Awesome Heaven Hill product that’s really difficult to find in some places

Perks of doing security at a liquor store is anytime Stagg or any allocated stuff comes in I get to snag it for MSRP. Never have I paid more than MSRP for anything ranging from Stagg to Weller or Blantons.

One thing since I saw Soldier Valley bourbon in the video. As a Nebraskan, their bourbon is just okay... but their vodka is the SMOOTHEST vodka I've ever had, it's like you're drinking water. Definitely worth a try if you ever make vodka drinks. I've sampled a bunch and I've never had a better one.

[@josephshultz6726]

love the banging the card down clip for the $60 Stagg. Got a good belly laugh from that

[@travissnowdc]

That Tater Bait is part of the Krogman's series that is thumbing their nose at the secondary market. All 9 MGP mashbills, single barrel cask strength picks with cartoon labels, funny names and sold at bottom shelf prices. The Maxx Profitzz rye was tremendous! There was also "Dusty Hunterzzz", "Smash Bill", "Fipperzzz", "Chuggzz", "Waxx Nippzz", "Unicorn", and "Buyy Noww!"

[@claytonmitchell5685]

I might be biased as an Oklahoman but those Prairie stouts that were at the first place (saw them in the background around 10:26) are truly outstanding beers. Highly recommend, had no idea their distribution was wide enough to end up in South Dakota. They do tons of variations, bourbon barrel aged among many others, couldn't recommend strongly enough to people that enjoy stouts

[@MF-ng9um]

Came here to post the same. Prairie stouts are excellent.

[@tdirgins]

Not sure about anyone else but the bourbon options at these stores is amazing. My local stores don't have anything near that much.

[@Alexwaltman850]

You need some Widow Jane's Decadence. They finish the whisky in old maple syrup barrels. I've been on the hunt for a bottle for over a year now after trying some a buddy had.

For your east coast tour, Va is ABC controlled so no allocated unless you happen to be in a store when a drop happens. They're not frequent but contain the usual, Blantons, EHT, & ER10.

[@hoobeydoobey1267]

Crazy. I went to MD to get stuff we don't get in Va. I am able to run to drops so obtained 9 Blantons this year. I understand they're a fortune in Md. Here, it's Va or NEx pricing. They make good gifts to those who like BT. Me, I'm a WT fan since the late 70s.@@steveverdoo1859

That Goose Island Cola variant is very unique and worth a try, and the cherrywood aged one is slightly better than the normal BCBS. Keep your eyes peeled for the 2023 variants releasing on Black Friday. There is one aged 2 years in Eagle Rare barrels, one with bananas, another with several types of berries called Backyard Stout, and a few others. 6 different variants total if I'm not mistaken.

For Boulder Spirits, you have to try their American Single Malt. I live in Louisville and watched your video and went to Shreck's where you got that Boulder bourbon and they didn't have any but they did have their single malt on clearance for 20. I've been into bourbon for almost 15 years and just got into Scotch and Irish this year. I already have about 12 bottles and am becoming a bit of a peat head but absolutely love sherry aged scotches both peated and non peated. Boulder American single malt is fantastic. Its verryy slightly peated but moderately sherry'd and is sooo good. Ive noticed you've been curious about scotch and their American single malt is like a near perfect segway from bourbon into scotch, in my opinion.
