Brewzle, if you are ever in the Hilton Head area; Id love to be your local contact. There are several good stores in the area and then we could go to Savannah for some larger stores

[@buckeyeguy26]

Didn't understand that either, but he was hoping 2 get a barrel pick from distillery

[@luke144]

I don't drink. It's not for me. I'm a devil's lettuce wacky tobaccy kind of guy. Still watching this show for some reason

[@muriloninja]

Wait...so you skipped on a Peerless DO at $99 to go buy it for $134 at the Distillery. I'm not sure I like that business plan! haha!

[@Brewzle]

Bad decisions were made

[@Armedtempertantrum]

Yea I was like...hold up

[@sorinsrn5442]

Thats how you do it:)))

[@mat1583]

I was up there a couple weeks ago and stopped at John O's in Elizabethtown on the way up. The Peerless DO was ~90, so I grabbed a bottle. Glad I did, because the price at the distillery blew me away. Having said that, their tasting was amazing. $18 and we ended up with 6 different pours. I think the host was a little toasted at the end of the day.

[@StevenScone]

I was like, what? Lol Even at 90 it's to much. It's not that good.

[@Flo2806]

Honestly, i wanna meet the guy paying for a top shelf locker to show off a bottle of Tito's in a whiskey bar :D

Wait, why was the Double Oak Peerless $134 at the Distillery? I picked one up at Total Wine for $80.

[@AB-bm4xk]

I was wondering the same thing, especially when he passed on one at the previous store that was 99. LOL

[@JazznRealHipHop]

Privilege of getting it straight from the distillery 🙄

[@Boo_Yeah]

Peerless does that. When I visited their distillery I was shocked that their prices for bottles were more than what I see them go for in stores. All their bottles were more expensive than what they go for in stores. It was very disappointing.

[@Aphabet21]

Distilleries usually can’t sell their product directly, they have to sell it to a distributer and then buy it back at a mark up.

[@Boo_Yeah]

@@Aphabet21 most other distilleries had their core stuff at close to or right at what I expected it to be

I've been watching a lot of your videos lately....so I figured it was time to subscribe!..I think it's very cool how you try and find bottles from distilleries in the states you visit...thanks, keep the videos coming!!

[@detroit313vlogs7]

I will definitely be spending my hard earned money at watch hill proper. I have much respect for people who skirt around bs laws. Great vid . Thank you 🙏

[@Boo_Yeah]

James E Pepper is SOOOO overrated. Yes its a nice bottle and its decent juice but it doesnt deserve all the hype people give it. Glad you got the Copper and Kings that is way more interesting than the Pepper. Their Butchertown Brandy finished in Kentucky Bourbon and New American Oak Barrel's is fantastic. Crazy that Peerless marks up their bottles at the distillery more than the stores do too.

[@Brewzle]

I will admit that the batch I bought in this video isn’t nearly as good as the one I tried previously

[@whiskeywithe7907]

I noticed that too 😅

[@AmandaStack]

I’ve been told the distilleries have to buy their own product back from the distributors and they won’t price below the stores because they don’t want to undercut them. Personally, if I like the distillery I don’t mind throwing a few more bucks their way especially if it’s something I can’t find anywhere else. I like Peerless but that’s a steep of a mark up!

[@mister_bailey]

Glad you guys ended up back in town and at that Evergreen Liquors. One of my favorite spots in town. Nice humidor too if you’re into cigars. Really good selection. Keep doing what you do!

i just said to wife we should go to that last store when we go to the US next month to visit our daughter... her reply was "not bloody likely... you in there we wont f-in see you all day!" she is right too lol what is funny you make a 26 minute video but it takes me 3 hours to watch because i pause it to check the bottles in shot lol

I've heard that double oak rye at Peerless is great. Hard to pass on that one. And did it really cost $35 more at the distillery?

[@guruofmac]

That's what I'm curious about - 134... but passed at the first store at 99

Dang TJ you were in my neck of the woods and I didn’t know! I see Crissy from evergreen made a cameo. She’s a friend of mine from high school. And the Big Bourbon Club!

Gotta agree... great answer. How many zeros does that have on it? ALL OF THEM! Sounds like every other store i go to these days with anything that is remotely "allocated". Same answer when you ask the price and they see your face after they tell you. "But its hard to find". Lol. No its not. Literally almost every store has it. Its just hard to find for anywhere close to retail. No bottle in particular. Again, just anything remotely allocated. Lol. Ok thats my rant. Mainly bc i just finished my last bottle of Eagle Rare (ive never paid over $45 for) and now everywhere i go its hiked up.

[@louisstennes3]

Just discovered your you tube. What a joy to watch. Just an average guy with the usual JD and JB in the cabinet. Never knew the hundreds of different bourbons. Lesson from my wife. I don't shop so she shops and can't make up her mind so the next time she goes it is gone and I say to her (stuff she can easily afford) "look when you see something and you want it, get it because when you make up your mind it probably will be gone." She doesn't listen but that is good advice for you. If you see something you can afford and haven't seen it before, get it. That's all I am going to say.
