Question, what makes a good bourbon because I am starting to want to drink bourbon I’m right now in the whiskey area. I wanna know what is a good starter bourbon for a new bourbon drinker.

[@ambriabarber3493]

Thanks for stopping by Bootleggers in Headland, AL! My husband is a huge fan and loves your content and was so excited when he got to meet you!

[@es0teric76]

It was nice seeing you guys represent my hometown in this video! I try to stop by every now and then when I'm visiting.

[@dchevron77]

"144, yeah, appreciate it" *leaves*. The typical liquor store experience lol!

[@DaveTookOver]

You pay 144 your going to be disappointed, I was disappointed at $80 lol

[@Erthsa]

@@DaveTookOversame lol that stuff’s trash.

[@okito2010]

The minute I see a liquor store price gouging i walk out and don’t set foot there ever again.

Best thing to watch when eating lunch.

Woohoo! Always a good day when there's a Brewzle Hunt!!

[@theFarrside]

"I don't like it worse". Put that on a shirt!

[@pennstateballer67]

From Bham TJ, and we absolutely love Dread River! Hope you love it. If you are ever in town stop by there you will not be disappointed. Just a cool experience and they do it right!

[@robinturner3431]

i second that dread river is awesome

[@zachhodges9255]

I work at Nelson’s in Nashville and got excited to see our Cognac Cask on this video! It is my personal favorite cask finish we do!

[@Nikoshasib]

I live and work right by Black Patch. It's a terrific smooth chewing caramel flavor but I suspect you would hate on it because he starts in big barrels and after 2 years ports it to small barrels. It's very delightful and priced in a way that it can be your daily driver without totally breaking the bank. I have family members up in MN that love it so much I have to bring cases back with me though. It's definitely worth trying. Heck, go visit him and chat with him. Great dude.

[@dimitrimacris3364]

Alabama is full of weird stuff like that museum. The Tin Man on bird's farm or the Episcopal church with some manikins near Demopolis is another fun stop

[@atm1058]

As an Alabama native, it’s rough out here trying to get a good deal on liquor.

[@cadenervin9458]

I ran into you at Heaven Hill this past week and was shocked. Totally caught me off guard. I was visiting some family while on leave, and my pops took me to some distilleries. It's so cool that I got to meet you and grab a pic!

[@YaBoiSneedMan]

the bootlegger dude was a cool dude

[@johnebsen5248]

You need to do a Woodinville pick and do a hunt in Washington state home of the country's highest liquor tax. Woodinville single barrels from the distillery are fantastic, and there are tons of small distillers here.

[@hclarke15]

Just got my first bottle of woodinville and loved it

[@numanuma20]

You can thank the tax on the neo prohibition movement.

[@C_GOODIES]

I'm across the river in OR. Once hunting in Vancouver, this store owner said he would waive the liquor tax for me. I asked how and he basically said he does some under the table/off the books sales. Dude was sketchyyyyy

[@mohawkgorilla6216]

I live in Huntsville but recently visited San Diego and discovered “The Whiskey House” in the downtown area. They hold the Guinness Record for the most whiskeys, 4500!!! The flights are crazy! I had the San Diego Flight. Great place to visit👍👍

[@Hardstylers4Life661]

Super cool place, but there are better whiskey bars in the area incase you’re still out here i recommend checking aero club out for the best prices (also a barcade) and seven grand in north park. Seven grand is a bit pricey, but great picks.

[@homegrownaxe3540]

I'm in dekalb County. I found a honey hole but it is in Rome GA. It's called Rome liquor and tobacco. They have a jack Daniel's rye store pick 133.2 proof in & usually always have eagle rare and BT for good prices. I'm going to catch a high west tasting today as well also on sale for 29.99

[@iggy3836]

@@Hardstylers4Life661Aero Club isn’t like it used to be. It’s gotten way more expensive and their selection seems to have gotten worse. The gems around town have gotten harder and harder to find. 7Grand Happy Hour Old Fashioneds are still pretty killer for the price though, but then that leads me to overpaying for pours 😂

[@Hardstylers4Life661]

@@iggy3836 yeah ive gotten got like that 😭 happy hour old fashioned are too good at seven grand. Leads into a bar pick four roses and that leads to another… lol luckily my bar at home is pretty stocked up now so i dont have to drag myself out for a good pour😂

[@djarumastrofoo]

Ought to check out Vic's in Trenton.

[@BamaFishing]

That Dread River Single Barrel you picked up is a good one. I have one and really enjoy it. You should go up and let Josh their distiller give you a tour and discuss their products…would be some great content as they are doing some creative things for a small distiller.

[@jeffsollars-gn4ew]

Get on 84 and head to Jakin,Ga from Dothan.There’s a hidden gem at the BP station after you cross the river. Jakin West Liquors. Doesn’t look like much but usually has some hard to find at a decent price. If now one is there have to go to gas station to get in.

[@MF_Tinsel]

Good local store I visit is Terry's in Leeds. Always find something interesting in there. Bought a Weller Antique 107 and ER 10yr right at MSRP from there not long ago.

[@williambarber2748]

That Dread River Single barrel was delicious. They just released a Sherry finished Rye that is amazing as well.

[@justincurrier218]

That Blackberry Starlight is a good pour for being flavored. More bourbon forward than any others out there.

[@dgfarr1]

I love that drive thru museum. I go through it every time I head that way.

[@nixonjs]

Enjoy watching your videos as I bake bread in the bakery (grain, water & yeast - pretty similar stuff.) If you come hunting in Colorado make sure to check out Branch & Barrel - small gem that distills and bottles on site, uses local grains and has a lot of really interesting bourbons and whiskeys. There are other great craft distilleries here like Laws, Leopold Bros, and Boulder Spirits (more malt forward so maybe not your jam) that you have probably been recommended. Would love to see a Denver video. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us, its fun to tag along while working. Cheers!

[@OfLastingThunder]

I do inventory for lots of these stores around Alabama. The ones that have the weird stuff that you'll never see anywhere else are the ones attached to gas stations that look like they're falling apart. Lots of them have bottles under the counter of whiskeys I've never heard of for astronomical prices. Last one I remember was called Van Winkle I think. Very very old bottle.

[@Isolden11]

I love watching the bourbon hunting!

[@Skwurm2297]

So happy for your hunts again. I’d watch one every day

[@Mr.KobeZoom]

LETS GO!!! Hunting is in my heart ❤️

[@ZacharyFrye-Lofley]

I heard mention of Florida. If passing through Gainesville stop at The Good Pour and try some store picks. Used to be Jigz liquor, he still owns it but dude can do some picks

[@AlmostAPear]

Again man, much love from opelika, im glad the hometown boy is making waves

[@atomicbanana8502]

Good shoutout on the Cooper's Craft. Great for the money! Just hope it stays that way.

[@jj18057]

I'm not a single malt guy either. But our (i'm from virginia) courage and conviction seems to be getting a lot of attention

[@neharuarnaik3047]

Sippin on some Gentleman Jack n Watchin this. Lucky me i got a set up on this early with my drink.

[@geraldwheeler9661]

As soon as I saw the Stagecoach sign, I said he's in Crawford. Happy hunting.

[@stevena69]

My lady bought me a bottle of the Black Patch to try and for a $50 bottle I keep coming back to it!

[@smi51040]

You need to check out Rock Town in Little Rock, AR. They are making their own distillate and aging it in AR. They do a mix of small and large barrels but you can get cask strength from large barrels

[@scotthunter6134]

Judge Roy Bean is sourced and finished with pecan. The owner is out of Fairhope. Good stuff.

[@mohandasmartin4253]

Oh my I'm front Dothan, However, I live in Georgia. I must stop at these spots. This was a great video.

[@mostlyvoid.partiallystars]

Oh, the Bama being Bama lol. Sweet home. I was born in Dothan.

[@johnslaughter4632]

You need to do a hunt in Lexington, KY! If the hunts don’t work out then there are plenty of distilleries close by to occupy your time

[@Redeemed75]

Sadly my 1st Bulliet 12 Year Rye was demolished over 2 weeks. I should have paced it better, but my God, it was such a Phenomenal Bottle!!

[@carlsoll]

This one was *Awesome!* Kickin’ off a Spectacular Trip :D Have Fun

[@jamesskinner762]

Great review, looking forward to your many hunts coming up. I learn so much from them!

[@jayjet03]

Love the videos, I scored my 1st Eagle Rare 10yr this morning.

[@That-bearded-dude]

@brewzle You missed out on that Black Patch. Thats my friends Uncle's Distillery and they are phenomenal.

[@grimbutfunny714]

I knew you were right down the road as soon as I started the video!

[@yonikotlaro4758]

I've been waiting for a new bourbon hunting video, super epic

[@pittsports10]

Have the honeydew Garrison Brothers. Great bottle. I think it's worth it. The honey finish is very nice.

[@genoortega4686]

Had the honey dew from Garrison’s at the New Orleans bourbon festival it’s pretty good! 🥃🤘🏼

[@VincentP220]

I’m a big Garrison Bros fan. Love the big flavor. The honeydew is great.

[@TheTylerbishop]

Dread River is great, the owner is an incredible person

[@DAVIDJALVAREZ]

Do a spirits club. Either have them pay for a sample out of each bottle or do a monthly event and charge for it. That would be cool, so a bourbon dinner with all of these and pair with food. $150 a person 25 tops per dinner

[@GeneralFluffy1]

@Brewzle The dread river you picked up is great!! Actually owned by the main orthopedic doctor at Andrew's sports medicine in St. Vincent's. If you're in Birmingham anytime hit me up, their facility is nice. I did a tour for my birthday. They also have a master series bourbon that is an excellent pour, but it's pricey.

[@devonfoley7736]

Black patch is amazing I’m from Madison Alabama and it’s very good they have a distillery here with a beautiful tour

[@24marcg24]

Loving the channel, learning a bunch.

[@SGE22-]

Just started getting into drinking bourbon/whiskey and my first bottle I bought to drink is Dough ball cookie dough( would like to ease into it ) but I think I’m going to get Four roses single barrel next.

[@jgen21]

Bottle Kill - definitely interested in a Woodford Double Oak pick, that's my favorite!

[@Crosmyn]

I like Dread River (their bar/restaurant is a neat place to visit when in B'ham) but it's not a must-have.

[@hunterbarnett8209]

Come on down to Sarasota Fl. I’ve got a few spots here!

[@happy69ize]

GB honey dew is really good if you see it under 70 which you can sometimes

[@auburnfan501]

Blackpatch is pretty decent. Madison also has a rum distillery that is out of this world. When are you making a Madison/Huntsville hunt?

[@michaelcrane5070]

The Dread River Cask Strength we got about a year ago tasted like grass and markers. Unfortunately, it didn't even taste good as a mixer. Maybe this is a better batch?

[@johnsn9519]

We'd love to have you visit Colorado. We have the biggest liquor store in the country and we love our whiskey

[@Roys_Rickhouse]

Judge Roy Bean Jubilee Release #2, 3, & 4 are absolutely amazing. Batch #5 went south and was disgusting.

[@tracejohnson3778]

If y’all come back through Dothan I recommend West Side Spirits, smaller store with pretty good selection, and decent pricing

[@Brewzle]

We went there in the video

[@MichaelFriedrichsen]

You need to try the Garrison Brothers Ladybird. It’s their honey dew at 115 proof and finished in cognac casks.

[@jimbograves1576]

Uhg! $144 for Blantons! I paid $53 and that was in Bama at a state store.

[@chriscunningham5150]

Man that Dettling white dog or clear distillate is probably a rare find. I’ve never seen that and I watch a lot of bourbon hunting videos. That Chicken Cock single barrel double oak would be good. But I’m with you TJ. Not for $169? Prices are just insane lately on some of these brands. But If I’m ever in the area I’ll check Bootlegger Liquors out.

[@chrisallodoli84]

Gotta start sending bottles to Will! Need to build that collection

[@ChazKramer]

Went to a tasting with the head distiller who makes Roseville union at Lux Rowe. I have the 6 year, that 7 is amazing. Great grab!!

[@jimconway9322]

If you are coming to Central Florida.. try Gaspars in Temple Terrace Florida . Would love to meet you there

[@barrelsnbarrelspod]

lol hunting in Alabama is ROUGH, having lived there for 5 years I know the pain. cheers dude

[@waveygravey30]

Cooper's craft to the top!😊

[@joshfritz4769]

Don't know about the honey dew. The garrison brothers limousin oak and garrison brothers cowboy 140.9 proof are AWESOME

[@90sMallArcade]

Woodford Double Oaked pick would be based on price for me. At $70 or below, I might buy 2. At $90, I dont think I would pull the trigger.

[@st3v018]

Yo I love watching you and yours Bourbon Hunt TJ. Be really cool to see y'all Bourbon Hunt in my neck of the woods in Brunswick,GA. We got a Richland rum distillery downtown as well as the silver bluff brewery right across the street from it as well as the best BBQ place in Ga over on St. Simons Island. And apparently we're the land of Weller Special reserve(been seeing that on the shelves here in town all over.) Hope you find your way over here ,can more than recommend a few liquor stores here in town 🤠. Love the content man

[@tillersbourbonchallenge]

I really like the Dread River 🥃

[@johnmuffler1695]

Best recent “dusty” I got recently was a 2022-03 Bookers for 99 in Cape May NJ

[@Wheezy50]

Just was able to get two bottles of Blantons. In two days in a Idaho liquor store crazy (one for me one for my dad) never have been able to find anything allocated ever so this was crazy

[@numanuma20]

Just saw this after working and I just bought a store pick and Yellowstone Select.

[@danielwatterson3926]

I definitely need a Woodford double oaked from you guys

[@isaiahbedolla5459]

2 or 3 barrels sir! I’m all in for Brewzle Woodford Double Oaked pick!

[@samk168699]

You’re coming to Florida???? We welcome Brewzle!

[@AlanSnyder-u8d]

That Rossville Union is really good. I am not a fan of the Rebel 100 rye however.

[@speacialperson12345]

All I really want is some weller antique 107 but I can’t find it anywhere for $100 or under. Basically everywhere local to me has it for $350.

[@Beastmode-38]

I would package at 300ml make the price point more manageble and increase bottle volume of barrel. I wish the industry would do this more aften id love to have more variety on my shelf at home without breaking the bank for each high profile bottle.

[@michaelthompson6614]

Ill be interested to hear your thoughts on the Dread River I picked one up here in Huntsville a month or so ago and tried it like 3 times and each time it was bad.

[@HerringHunt]

Would love a Woodford DO pick. WDO is my daily driver for most occasions.

[@Brent_Fiore]

"going to have to take the budge down" he funny saying he got a budget.

[@Brewzle]

I do have a budget, I don't often remember it when I find things I want.

[@countryfucius]

That Elvis - Midnight Snack is interesting but way too sweet.

[@elliot_grooves]

Check out Fillibuster Distillery in Woodstock VA! They distill their own whiskey and have been around for a bit longer, so their aging is the real deal

[@jj18057]

And then travel down the road to silverback

[@jas142366]

You guys are so Lucky. In Australia You pay at least 3 times what it cost in the USA Eagle rare for eg is $100 Aust It’s disgusting! The tax on drinking here is a total joke. Love your segments
