Why can't we get Bourbon or Canadian whisky in quantity in Scotland we can't even buy Crown Royal in the supermarket here I love bourbon but all we can get is Wild Turkey Buffalo Trace Rare Eagle Elisa Craig Bulleit Woodford Specal reserve Jack Daniels Makers Mark Knob Creek Jim Beam Old Forrester why can't we get the cool stuff I see on your channel?

[@alexrhoton1329]

I don't remember the brand but it was a bottled and bond 10 year and I was very tempted

[@alexrhoton1329]

And if you're ever in Detroit again I wouldn't mind taking you to a few stores

[@rslr]

The videos are great - but honestly - your editing is what really shines. Quick and to the point. Love it. Also - many (many) thanks for cutting the video into 'chapters'. If you ever do any hunting around KC, reach out. Take care / keep on keepin' on!

[@tunz475]

I work in a tobacco stores and work atleast one 12 our shift from 9-9 a week. Never once acted like some of those people in liquor stores, sometimes we get an aggressive customer and shoots our moods down for a little. But never been unwelcome or rude to customers like that, I also love the respect you give others. It’s something I admire you for TJ. Keep doing what you’re doing, more of us should be more like you.

[@OhhLuffy]

These hunting videos rock

[@brandonjones6703]

Definitely my favorite

[@totoluyum]

The best

[@TURBOMIKEIFY]

Makes me wanna steal from a Brink’s truck so I can be like him…. In GTA5 of course.

[@zaneksawyer]

Just went into Oscar's and couldn't decide between the Rebel and the Ezra, and I asked the clerk about it. He said, "I'll make the decision easy for you." He let me try both. Great video. Great store. Good golly miss molly that Ezra was delicious.

[@Falconsgang8988]

thats that southern hospitality i miss

[@Balin_James]

It absolutely cracks me up how hard it is to find Buffalo trace in other states. It’s stocked 5-7 bottles deep at every single store I’ve ever been in here in Oregon

[@tn_onyoutube8436]

Same here in the UK. Distribution is weird!

[@luiscorona4773]

Same in Indiana

[@briancarroll6803]

It used to be that way here.. BT and Eagle Rare were as common as Jim Beam...then suddenly, it's nowhere

[@matthewatkinson128]

There are stores in Northern Indiana with 5-10 cases at a time

[@luiscorona4773]

Sazerac the company switched distributors so hopefully buffalo trace products are much more common everywhere

[@danielgigandet2938]

Thank you for running over prices. Nice getting an idea what's a good and bad buy.

[@takashiemota9784]

5:25 Brewzle throwing that card like it was HOT

[@vandyman9957]

It was spring training; he made the team

[@tekf5ve209]

I don't even drink and now I wanna get into Bourbon. Such fun informative videos. Have you made a video explaining what to look for and how to read bottles?

[@PersononYT56]

I'm not gonna lie, I don't drink at all but I love this guy! He seems like such a great dude

[@IvanIgorVigo]

The Old Elk is good at $130 max. You did the right thing. Keep the hunting vids coming!

[@stevehightower1806]

The hunting videos are my favorite

[@Brewzle]

Thanks! Trying to get to releasing one a week.

[@Gramps935]

The province I live in regulates alcohol sales and has government stores so everyone of them is the same. I find this adventure really fun.

[@the_E4_Mafia]

I don’t normally like bourbon channels but I’m really enjoying your style. I see you passing up the Russell’s, the single barrel store picks are some of my favorites. I’m in Lexington Kentucky.

[@trevorsmith2006]

Agree on the Russell's single barrel selects. Those are pretty consistently great.

[@thesquirrel905]

Can’t believe you passed up on all that Fireball I see just laying around 😂

[@ThaPABproductions]

I miss you

[@nicholasgarcia7830]

Hands down my favorite KZbin personality right now

[@RingerDaClown]

Knob Creek 9 year is my favorite right now.

[@JDsBBQnBourbon]

I about fell over when I saw that Blade and Bow for $60. I really enjoy these videos, keep em coming.

[@Brewzle]

Thank you, will do!

[@LeatherDaddy97]

60 is definitely on the pricey side for blade and bow

[@toddgaak422]

That's what it runs in my neck of the woods. Definitely not worth it.

[@flying2lowAK]

$78 + tax here seen in san diego area $45

[@cameron3815]

Absolutely love your channel, your style is what makes this so awesome. I love the bourbon knowledge.

[@Brewzle]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@danbrodahl2153]

I get Knob 9 for under $35 in my area - Houston. Love the peanut butter flavor. And I’m generally not a Beam fan…. Love the channel man. And do more hunts!

[@alexdeshetler8802]

Watching this while sipping beam and coke out of a plastic cup😂

[@spencerfreed6947]

Been subscribed for awhile but recently I'm binging a bunch of videos and I have to say I really enjoy one of your newer videos where you sample a bottle at the end of your hunt! Really adds to the overall experience of watching your hunt. I know you wait to do a live to test them all but doi🎉a tasting of at least one makes it really interesting! Thanks for the video content! Cheers 🥃🫗

[@garyb6670]

I can’t remember from your videos but if you like the higher proof, you should try the KC9 Single Barrel Selects, they are 120 proof. They can be store picks but Beam also picks them as a standard release. In my opinion, it is much better than the standard KC9.

[@Brewzle]

Actually bought one in the next video that’s coming out…

[@kings1843]

I’m not a bourbon drinker but this is now my favorite KZbin channel now

[@YaBoyPhones]

Same. But here I am buying a bottle of 4 roses 😂😂🤷🏻‍♂️

[@tonytone611]

Hey man love your videos! I know its pricey but these bourbon hunting videos are great.

[@DeckDogs4Life]

I can say I like the Yellowstones I've tried so far and also I like their mission statement that they donate a certain amount from each bottle sold to the National Parks Service.

[@chupacabraracing181]

Have you tried swilled dog? It's out of West Virginia. I have a store pick. They donate to several different dog rescues.

[@DeckDogs4Life]

@chupacabra I haven't had a chance yet, though I do live in West Virginia. I've tried Smooth Ambler though, which is a West Virginia company as well.

[@chupacabraracing181]

@@DeckDogs4Life I'll have to try them. I'm from Florida but travel for work and currently in West Virginia (Huntington). I'm planning to go bourbon hunting in Ashland Kentucky next weekend since I'm so close

[@DeckDogs4Life]

@chupacabra I personally like the Smooth Ambler Contradiction Bourbon, the Contradiction Rye, and the Old Scout. The Old Scout Single Barrel is not bad, definitely unique. My friend was more fond of it than I was. He loved it. I haven't had their Old Scout Port Cask Finished or any of their Founders CSS yet. But they've been doing good work with what they've done so far.

[@masonwelch9489]

I wish I would have known you were coming to Tupelo. I live right outside of town. North Mississippi has a lot of cool places to hunt, but it is a little more spread out. We get a lot of barrel picks and store picks. I will be going by Tupelo Wine & Spirits next week. I love when a store is willing to open a bottle to give you a taste.

[@Parks179-h]

Hey Mason. I’m from corinth Ms and will be traveling to Tupelo soon. What are some of the places you recommend?

[@baseb343]

Just found the channel! Love the content. Your knowledge and passion for it comes through! Keep keeping on.

[@PurePuritan]

I love these videos, they feel so nostalgic and like im living it with you

[@00Accord4cyl]

Highly recommend trying some of those Nashville Barrel Co bottles. Should be around $90

[@dragunovful]

Good recommendation from the first guy. That is in fact a great way to get into aged spirits. Your typical decent 25 is anywhere from $70-100

[@troyzajac9053]

That yellow stone is one of my go to bottles. Absolutely delicious

[@ssky-rt9nm]

The black top ETBiB is a gem. The new ones aren’t bad. Solid for beginners. And they go for $23 by me. The Yellowstone picks have been really good to me in the past.

[@lastboy8599]

Great episode man! Tupelo is my home town and I typically stay away from La Vino's bc of the markups. Next time you're in the area try Henry's wine and liquor. If I'm not shopping at Oscar's I'm shopping there. Keep the great content coming and stay safe!

[@imsoaverage]

I love those hunting videos !! 6:50 KC9 is the first bourbon i tried, that caramel and pecan nose and flavors brings lovely memories from my time in Cherbourg (Normandie France) ❤ I did bring me an even more lovely french wife home.

[@DC632A]

Nice video. Hard work noticed and appreciated 😊

[@rolandsteele2986]

Your in my neck of the woods my brother, I found a Heaven Hill 20yr today. I’m happy to see you hunting in Mississippi

[@AudibleVisibIe]

I dig these type of videos 👍

[@ChaseJohanson94]

Did she really say 400 for the takumi edition?? It’s 120 here in Iowa.

[@joejanca]

Honestly, I get the Sazerac version of Early Times BiB at $27 a liter and even if it's not as good as the older version, it's still pretty hard to beat for the price for me.

[@tlberg]

Great work, love the Yellowstone and Old Soul picks. Have the same reaction

[@Narrowcros]

Your right attitude of the seller makes the store worthy, really makes a difference.

[@hintonb]

When that guy said the Jefferson's ocean was the something special they had in the store i would've accidentally laughed

[@jsb2277b]

Lol... That bottle is such a gimmick. Jefferson has terrible distillate. Everything I've tried from them has tasted grainy and young which I don't understand since they've been in the game for so long

[@Brewzle]

I have 3 Ocean's open right now. One of them is fantastic and the other two are garbage. So, it's definitely a marketing gimmick but also some of them are good whiskey.

[@DavidWilliams-gq2jb]

I’ve got a new whiskey coming out soon that has traveled on a ship while having Metallica pumped into the barrel and it has a purple horse top.

[@garyb6670]

I will say, the JO you held up was cask strength. In VA, that is an allocated item and we almost never see it. I think it is a bit rare and certainly going to be a different flavor profile.

[@MixPBZ]

The only one I enjoyed was voyage 24.

[@tn_onyoutube8436]

I’m in the UK and we get screwed over on the prices and selection of Bourbon like you wouldn’t believe- but recently I’ve been seeing more and more examples of ‘tubers in the US literally hunting basic Buffalo Trace! We have this everywhere, in our whisky shops but also in our supermarkets at discount to uk msrp- today I saw it at £19 a bottle (and we don’t add tax at the Register, that’s the price. That’s about $23 all in, and I could have bought 10 bottles today with no problem. In one of the same stores - Eagle Rare 10, reduced from £41 to £35 and then on special offer at £30 - or $36 all in - and again, dozens of bottles on the shelf! And I can buy them online from the same shops for home delivery with my milk and bread! Now, if I could only get a Stagg here now!

[@Brewzle]

Yeah, not a huge selection over there I'd imagine but it doesn't fly off the shelves when you do have it.

[@LongOdds]

That Yellowstone barrel strength changes drastically once it opens up with some oxygen. I'd pop it, try a pour (which you'll probably not like), and forget about it for a month.....but it's solid when you go back to it down the road.

[@Brewzle]

I opened it at the end of the video, that's been a couple of weeks. I'll give a couple more and try it again.

[@bleeieve]

We have some of those around where I live priced at $99.99. Worth?

[@decknightontherocksbourbon]

You went past a 6 year wilderness trace around 11:20, that good stuff

[@sweetoak1205]

I really like the Ragged Branch double oaked wheated. 21:40

[@ryanparker4775]

Just bought a 62 month cask strength dettling and it is fantastic

[@jtblackford]

I'm an Elijah Craig fanboy so it would have been hard for me to pass up that Barrel Proof pick.

[@ernieforni3221]

Ragged Branch Double Oaked, BiB, Bourbon is one of my favorites. Matured for 4 years and then double oaked for another year. At $50 in Virginia it is a good value.

[@decknightontherocksbourbon]

I feel like that is the liquor store density in most cities. We do this in every city we go to and also in our home town of Knoxville at least 4 times a year.

[@Watchman999]

That Armagnac comment should be vs Cognac not Scotch. Cognac is super expensive compared to Armagnac but they are brandies not Scotchies. :) still a cool idea to mature in Weller barrels but $300 kills the “cheaper” argument LOL

[@Nikoshasib]

You mentioned you're from Opelika, have you had Black Patch bourbon from Madison/Huntsville? It's to my understanding they do 2 years in a big barrel then port it over to smaller barrels for the last year to get more surface area. They say it gives a 5-7 year flavor in 3, and I'm inclined to believe it's quite good. Very heavy on the caramel flavor.

[@hamm84309]

That Takumi was really good when i tried it. tasted it at a whiskey event at the KO booth and they were really hyping it up. Found it under $200 in north orange county, CA near long beach

[@homescholed]

22:13 I’m a descendant of J W Dant and have done a lot of research about him and his whiskey. I have never seen that! If this wasn’t a year after you posted this I’d drive down to get it

[@danieldillingham1523]

I have that Yellowstone and as a matter of fact had a pour of it tonight. It is amazing hope u like it. Twice the flavors as the regular one

[@robertwilson9179]

First video of yours that i have watched and have to say i enjoyed it.

[@ericdolby1622]

Always amazing to see these prices all over the country. Knob Creek 9 is $31 here in Southwest Florida but we have zero Buffalo Trace products.

[@pboggs73]

Yup kc9 is great and 28 in Texas. Also better then buffalo trace

[@TheRamGuy]

Found Buffalo Trace at a WalMart two weeks ago in Florida

Old Charters is the Lords bourbon in my area. They have to limit it 1 per customer like it's worth thousands. Love it.

[@Toot7319]

I live about 45 minutes from Ragged Branch. I really enjoy their Rye BIB and Double Oaked Wheat. I think their other stuff is also good but not mind blowing.

[@paytonbourdin3222]

Hey man! Love your videos. I’m from the Ms gulf coast. Cut above is located in kiln, Ms which is down here on the coast. Another good Ms bourbon is K.Luke. Worth a try for sure!

25 liquor stores in 5 miles is nothing compared to what we have out here in wisconsin

[@ThinkFaster66]

Have you ever thought about trying that “Designer Dram” product? Fancy customish bottle, you select percentages of whiskey (MGP), they blend and send it to you. It’s a little pricey but it’s more of a gift type thing.

[@Brewzle]

Dont know much about it

[@ThinkFaster66]

@@Brewzle I don’t know much about it. My wife got it for me for Christmas. I know it’s MGP. They have a website that you order from and put in your preferences. Then you have some customization options for the bottle itself. They also have an option to get samples so you can make your blend off that.

[@bradnorthcott7480]

I love when you buy a bottle just for the heck of it as you say just so you can drink on the way lmao

[@glennbrian3d]

[@decknightontherocksbourbon]

You live in auburn, try driving down to Pensacola. The cigar blend around 250ish if I remember correctly. Some of the bottles you mentioned on here I found down there for half the price of what you are seeing there.

[@scooter88usmc]

Pendleton 20 year reserve in my opinion is amazing. It is a little pricey, but everyone I know who has tried it, loves it.

[@Jgar5757]

It’s also sold out everywhere so if there’s a bottle sitting on the shelf, barrel proof, it’s a automatic buy. It’s already been called the unicorn killer, watch the reviews
