i live in memphis but im new to bourbon when was allocation day and what exactly is it

[@numanuma20]

@@matthewburton342Allocations are products that are only released at a certain time or certain times of the year. With bourbon, certain bottles are only released a few times a year.

[@Tn19895]

I typed in the code on a parliament wallet I didn’t get up nowhere near 55% off it gave me $4.50 off of $93 dollars

[@fritts93]

great episode on this one, maybe my favorite and maybe because your tour guide was super cool and that Buster's stop was excellent. enjoyed watching your conversations with those guys and doing the tastings.

[@jamesfleming8181]

Busters is a mainstay in Memphis but it still Memphis so it gets robbed and the gas station in front of it burnt down a few months back

[@Allison_Chaynes]

I love seeing my city shine. Cheers, Memphis! 🍻 And, I love BUSTERS.

[@kraftysk1]

I bought a bottle of Barrell Seagrass rye for $72 after you said it was good. My local liquor store didn't have the orange label but thought I would give this a try and I'm glad I did!! 121 proof and 60% alcohol on this particular bottle and it's very smooth. Definitely a good call.

[@SamLucas26]

That smoke wagon single barrel "private barrel" right around 10:00 is usually exceptional as far as MGP goes. I have 4 different ones I bought straight from Smoke Wagon and they're all incredible. I paid $95 for each one straight from smoke wagon. Not sure what they were selling that one for in store

[@louidaiv2387]

Is it 6 yr old MgP Rye ???

[@SamLucas26]

@@louidaiv2387the 4 I have are 5 year MGP rye. But they did a really good job pulling these barrels. All 4 of mine are a different barrel and they’re all awesome

[@j.hirsch4785]

I’m from NW Ohio. My son attends University of Memphis. Every time we visit we stop at Busters. Never been disappointed. Always seem to have allocated available at reasonable prices. And their single barrel picks are 2nd to none. Absolutely love Busters. And their new butcher shop is awesome.

[@stevenhornbuckle8007]

Your tour guide is a great salesman!

[@GeauxRilla]

"You're only gonna see this today" Lmao I was thinking the same thing, great salesman

[@mrphenom1643]

Brewzle has that Keith Lee clout, its getting him into back rooms faster than a 2-year customer 😂😂 I high key would be mad if I was a loyal customer who has been looking for that one bottle and brewzle just walks in and gets it after a 20 minute conversation lmaooo

[@trip1]

You, sir, are on a one way road to owning ALL the Whiskey.

[@GeauxRilla]

You ask the wife about my 35 bottle collection and she'll swear I "own all the whiskey"

[@jamesbyrne4851]

The New Southern Revival Jimmy Red Corn is delicious! Previously I've only been able to find them for $100, and that's local to their distillery in Charleston!! You DEFINITELY should have picked a couple up for that price! I'd buy every bottle they had at $35!!!!

[@johnf.kennedy5454]

I agree...every bottle they had!!

[@user-qh6io5fu9y]

Ate at the Peg Leg Porker in Nashville last summer and tried their bourbon and totally agree, it's bloody good straight bourbon and the BBQ is outstanding too.

[@SoccrFrak-mn4hd]

Spirits of Timbercreek was down the road from my childhood home. I went there as a kid and worked there for three years as a college job. Great family owned liquor store that treats their customers right. Shoutout to Andy (the store manager there now)! That store played a big part in my growth of knowledge in all types of spirits.

[@timsnoddy]

The Redwood Empire BIB offerings have a very similar profile to the regular label from them. Whereas the cask strength offerings taste drastically different. Thats probably why he doesn't like them as much. I would recommend giving the cask a shot though! They're pretty darn good.

[@Subviolaceus]

Love the Jimmy red corn. High wire distillery does really interesting stuff. They also have a great story to go with the tasty whiskey

[@lindern1969]

So, just because it doesn't say distilled by doesn't mean they don't distill the bottle. 13th Colony distills their own Double Oaked but they also contract it out because they have a small distillery. They give their mashbill, and their sour mash, and ingredients to who they contract distill with.

[@KA-om9oz]

So if I supply the paint, tools and a Mexican, but I dont actually paint your house. Can I say I painted your house??

[@239fla8]

@@KA-om9ozwhy’s it gotta be a Mexican lmao

[@_606Offroad]

So in other words they don’t distill it, if I give you the recipe for lasagna and you make it for me, I didn’t make it, you did

[@98supervols]

Appreciate you stopping by corks and letting me taste ya on some stuff! Ever in town, definitely come swing by!

[@jwalker3343]

I dont even drink or collect. And I cant stop watching these videos

[@fatguylittlesips]

I grew up in Memphis and I go back for holidays now. Didnt know the good places thanks for the knowledge drop. Definitely gonna hit up that Busters!!!

[@curtlindberg712]

I agree. I don't really know what I like so much about these videos but learning about bourbon and local distilleries doesn't get any better than Brewzie. This guy simply knows his shit. And I have learned alot so far. I am hooked

[@cjtheejuic3839]

Josh was a great guest

[@animalsteele1]

That willet purple top was $1300 at my local store. More than double the price there

[@Pancreaticdefect]

I'm glad I finally got to see him try something from Bardstown. I bought their bottled in bond and finished the whole thing in just a few weeks. I liked it so much I just kept coming back to it.

[@NightAndDay29484]

So glad you enjoyed Memphis, Buster's is definitely the place to go!

[@Defx10]

I grow sorghum and love the flavor of the "molasses" that comes from it. I would have definitely grabbed a couple of those Revival sorghum whiskey bottles, because I've never seen a sorghum whiskey before!

[@TorridDesign]

Keep up this content! I only have a few bourbon channels I frequent, but i know my watch time on your channel demolishes the others, really enjoying this stuff! Great work man.

[@stinkybhole]

That first was crazy. The selection down where I’m at has a few of the bottles sometimes but marked up almost 80%

[@BB-sc1jv]

Elijah Craig single barrel releases are one of my favorites. Current have the C923, 137 proof, age 13 years 7months. Delicious!. $70 for that age and proof is outstanding. Also on the Angels Envy,,drank those early in bourbon days but now pass on the standard stock bottle. Bought a single barrel store pick at 115 proof for $99 on a chance and got a delicious bottle. Will definitely look for more of the single barrels. Lastly,,,,,Bardstown 6 year single barrel store picks. Absolutely one of best bottles I’ve ever purchased. After sampling at Cool Springs spirits close to Nashville knew this one couldn’t be passed on. The distillate is actually Bardstown, not sourced. $64. My mistake was not purchasing additional bottles. As TJ stated, it coats the mouth. Just an awesome bourbon.

[@apeekintime]

Redwood Empire Bottled in Bond are not sourced and the mashbill is different. They are absolutely the best bottles coming out of Redwood Empire, BUT the cask strength Pipedream is very close (and it's cheaper). If you ever see the Bottled in Bonds at $70 or less they are well worth picking up. This video was very good to see. I travel to Memphis a few times a year and I didn't expect to see as nice of shops. Just recently one of the bourbon groups I follow (SE Missouri) posted some pretty crazy hauls from Memphis and the Bootheel of MO. Crazy how different the bourbon world can be just 2 hours driving away. I'll certainly visit that shop for their first Saturday of the Month drop soon.

[@deepfrieddeals]

Teasing us with these announcements 4 days in advance.

[@OutdoorsWithShawn]

I was in Memphis last year when that ice storm came through around Christmas. It ruined my bourbon hunting, but I did get to tour the Old Dominick Distillery and get some great fried chicken across the street. Good times

[@Allison_Chaynes]

Yes, I remember that ice storm.

[@ryanreeves7765]

Couldnt love your videos more I am from the midwest and know that you arent the biggest Rye lovers but would highly reccomend either Blaum Brothers or FEW whiskey bourbon out of Illinois as they are my go to's

[@tommyjusz]

old dominick is just recently been showing up in Chicagoland. I did there tour last winter on our long weekend in Memphis area. Good stuff

[@jhawkk2004]

Yup, you're crazy for passing on the Revival Jimmy Red at 35 bucks. That's 90 in my market

[@iwilder94]

The Redwood Pipe Dream CS and Emerald Giant CS are great. I'd pass on the Lost Monarch CS though

[@GeauxRilla]

They can blend man!

[@swest3731]

Those rare character the amburana is outstanding. I’m always trying to keep it on the shelf. Also those BiB redwoods are their own distillate. Not MGP like the rest. The rocket top is king

[@whatsgoingonwhy9096]

Awesome first store. Whiskey is supposed to be out on the shelf for anyone to buy, not hidden away just the owners buds.

[@laurie5726]

I’m new to bourbon and I am learning so much from you. The language of the hunt is kind of exciting. Thanks. 🎉

[@mkfmgaming3019]

Hey man I hope you see this. I went to Colorado once and had 291 Colorado Bourbon Whiskey Small Batch. One of the best bourbons I have ever had and would love for you to try it someday

[@bendino9016]

I love your videos and have learned so much about bourbon after binge watching a half a year of your content. thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge.

[@brandonross1831]

Got a twice barreled Jack rye for 169 looking forward to it. Not a big rye guy but the Woodford and sag are some of my favorites

[@shlodionaut]

Thanks TJ. I like bourbon now. Tried two of your budget recommended and yes, i get it. Never knew why I hated scotch so much and stayed away from whisky. Cause a good bourbon was my whisky. Great videos, more travels and bourbon hunting please.

The Redwood Empire Cask Strength Bourbon is one of my favorite bottles of 2023. It’s a straight caramel bomb. Definitely should have grabbed it!

Willow Jane apple wood is the best $40 rye I’ve EVER had! You should’ve bought that! And that paradigm rye too!

TJ, i think you need to get an app for your phone to let you view what you have at your home, this way you'll know if you have to buy a new bottle!

[@TOMINATER001]

If you see some Dryfly stuff you should buy it! They make everything at a distillery in Spokane, Washington. Ive toured it a couple times and everything is made in-house. Really good straight wheat cask strength whiskey.

[@ShastaCountyLand]

That Twice Barreled Rye is maybe the best whiskey I have ever had.

[@pammullin2160]

Stumbled across your channel and have been learning so much. You mentioned a brand I didn't catch the name of it but you mentioned it several times in reference to orange labels

[@brandonbond4765]

At the price that I pay, the Green River Wheated is worth the purchase. $35 -$40 a bottle a great bourbon and ginger.

I'm just getting into Bourbons and Whiskey. I too am in Alabama (thanks to the military). Where are some places around here that offer bourbon/whiskey tastings?

I gotta echo everyone in these comment sections. I had zero knowledge of bourbon or “hunting”, nor did I know I’d ever be interested in this stuff.
