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.

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.

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

"I cant bring out the big stuff" Casually brings out a Stagg for $60..
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

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.
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.
Seems you like the Bourbon County stouts, but you passed right over the Surly Darkness bottles and cans. They are excellent
I'm distraught after seeing you work that place out of an MSPR Stagg. Next level man.
Russel should not have sold that Stagg😂
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

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.
another enjoyable video shopping for the 'good stuff' 19:00 IMO you make the most entertaining store walkthroughs with your commentary.
Yes Brewzle, count your days. I'm Irish and Scottish and born and raised in Kentucky. That's triple dangerous. Drink more Islay whisky! Sláinte everyone.

Still amazed that I watch these as I don't drink bourbon. Love your knowledge and enthusiasm. Its like an episode of Antique Road Show. Not a big fan of the commercials...but did not Fast Forward
I found Stagg 22A at total wine for $50 two weeks ago. Couldn’t believe it!
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
You chose the best place to go! Super cool to see you show up in my hometown!
how refreshing to listen to such a nice store owner just being honest.
Westside liquor stadium is the spot you need on your channel the vibes alone will double your views
That Boulder Spirits Cask Strength is out of this world! I live 20min from the distillery and each batch sells out in a day. If you can grab one you certainly should and give it a try, hell I'll buy it off your hands if you can find it.
Would love to see TJ try some Scottish / English rye. It'd be a really interesting comparison and nothing like the malty scotch. Same for Scottish grain whiskies too.
Cool to see you visit! My wife and I love Wiliquors, we live pretty close to the store!
I live in Aberdeen, South Dakota and when I'm in Sioux Falls I try to stop by Wiliquors and Fogie's since they're very close to each other. Two really good liquor stores in South Dakota.
The Widow Jane Applewood Rye is pretty good. Great nose and nice sweet rye flavor. It's nice on a cool fall night.
The Cherry wood stout was by far my favorite of the 2021 BCBS variants. I'm in Chicagoland so I buy them all every year.
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.
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.

Fogies is good Williquers rewards program is good. Prices are hard to beat too.
Those goose island cherry ones are AMAZING.
Love the JD barrel proof rye, the bottles I’ve had over 135 proof are amazing
love the banging the card down clip for the $60 Stagg. Got a good belly laugh from that
The cola stout goose island is fantastic! If yoy are able to drink them at room temperature, this one is great.
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
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. 👍
Finally got a E.H Taylor small batch for retail. It's OK glad I didn't pay the massive mark up. Cheers

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.

Just got my hands on a JD single barrel pick barrel proof rye at 134.5 proof. I all but finished it over a weekend by myself! $70 and it’s fantastic!
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!"
Great video as always!
Thanks for the email on the cask strength redwood empire. Ordered two!!!
Brewzle needs to be on the bottle. That's the attraction to make sure it's what we all look for.
Brewzle Barrel Bottles. A unique bottle with a great cork top. Optional spout cork available for the consumers that want to lay it down like a barrel.
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

The cherrywood BCBS is great! One of my favorites from them.
The Far North Spirits are pretty darn good. Was worth a pickup. Maybe I need to send you a sample
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.
That Blackfork Farms is a great pour!
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.
@Brewzle I'll gladly take you to my favorite stores if you're in the Western New York Area. I doubt there is anything in my collection that you haven't had, even though I have some good allocated whiskey. Love the hunting videos! Lotteries are right around the corner in my area. Fingers crossed!!
Got a lil fired up when I heard Candlebox Far Behind playing in the background 🤣
That JD SBBP Rye is $75 at the JD distillery, which I picked up when I was there over Thanksgiving. You got a great price for that and the Stagg!
Seems like Russell made an error selling that bottle of Stagg for MSRP.. especially after the owner mentioned they only got ONE bottle of ER for the month. Russell seemed like an awesome dude and I hope he didn’t get into any sort of trouble selling that bottle of Stagg.

The wineish one sounds right up my alley.
Let’s start off with this I am not a lover of Rye anything, but ☝🏼 there’s always an exception to the rule and here’s my exception the 13th Colony Rye is one arse kicker of an exceptional rye !
I had a bourbon night with some buddies and one of the bottles that I had was the Widow Jane applewood rye. None of us 7 guys liked it much, especially for the price.
Russel knew his shit. Seemed genuine and wasnt just pushing stuff.
Burning chair… One of my favorite MGP. Put together by Dave Phinney (I think his name is). He’s the brains behind Orin swift wines - some of my favorite grape juice. Burning chair, Lip Service and another I can’t think of are his offerings…. He also has Lil Guerro which is his premium offering of bourbon.. Love burning chair, not to sweet, apples on the nose and finishes light… perhaps a little young tasting, but I find it’s a solid pour at 50ish

JD BP Rye is not allocated. Its a shelf bottle
The Burning Chair is really good in cask strength.
Got the same bottle of Stagg today as a Christmas gift here in LA. sells for $297 here.
Jacob’s pardon is an interesting pour, gaining some traction recently.
