I live right next to it, and it’s the most disappointing store to go to. Readily available wines and bourbons go for 100%+ MSRP. The first time I went, they were asking $38 for a bottle of regular Makers.

I agree, hundred percent with your choice of John J Bowman single barrel, I would’ve picked that one as well. Very fun video to watch. Keep up the good work.

Frank August is a must have. It's a bottle one should always have. It's a great balance of sweet and spicy and a good finish. It's

I negotiate at small stores I frequent and I have a great relationship with the owners. Negotiating on the price does not make you a bad customer, it’s part of the game. If a store doesn’t want negotiations they are always free to sell at MSRP

@ 15:19 pointed at Plantation Vintage rums. They come in different series with under the sea and flying with birds examples based on year release. Vintage collection is true small batch, aged for a long time, great packaging, great for guest series. Plantation renamed in 2024 to Planteray for negative connotation. Collectable and Tradeable. MSRP was $75-85 varying bottles.

That's a great price. Pipe Dream and Lost Monarch CS are $65 at Total Wine in CA

That Michters Toasted Barrel Rye is fannnntastic. At the right price, of course.

I bourbon hunted Reno this past month. You could find anything you’d want, but the mark up was steep. Total Wine was solid. My favorite place was Craft Wine and Beer. Incredible place where you can find some great under the radar gems. They also put the allocated stuff on the shelf at msrp, so if you happen to be there at the right time you’ll get something truly special.

My dad's always been a connisouer of spirits in general. At 35yo I have never been a big drinker. But he let me try some Bakers 7 and I enjoyed it enough to go buy a couple of things for myself. I'm hooked. Love the channel, and the content is extremely helpful for a newbie.

That cask strength redwood retails for $75. I bough the bourbon, rye and blend back in November. It’s amazing

Fun show, really enjoy the content! I’m in California and the Redwood Empire cask strengths here are 99.00 bucks. My store owner friend sold me all three for 52.00 bucks each:)

Cool idea for a video. Need those guys to bring some more excitement on their picks haha

That was really fun to watch! Do more of these!

The Teeling next to the OFC is currently my favorite.

I dont always watch all your hunting vlogs, but i love this as a review channel, and i think your personality, production quality, and consistency are of if not the best on this platform. Nobody is doing what you do at the quality you do it. You keep people who dont even drink enthralled with your review content, and especially your short form, just off your delivery. Keep on killing it brother. This channel deserves a million.

$139 for the Redwood CS is double msrp. Picked one up for $69.99 the other day and have two of the three. You got the Bowman at msrp. Come visit the distillery in VA some time.

"there's a reason they're all still there"......yep. A LOT of good whiskey under $75 that is pure bliss.

Love the traverse city barrel proof bourbon! I've been told the rye is fantastic too, but I'm not much of a rye guy.

That selection at Raley's is ridiculous!

About those movie poster looking bourbons, the extended cut (barrel proof) is actually really good - I had some at a bottle share recently and it surprised me for an unknown brand being helmed by someone who did a lot of work in Hollywood.

Excellent video as always! I’m blown away by the amount of Springbank and Kilkerran on the shelves there. I’m lucky to score a bottle of Springbank a year up here in Nova Scotia, Canada.

I like how there is two OFCs, one at two different locations, in this video.

I don’t drink or even like bourbon/whiskey but I genuinely love your channel! ❤

Living in Maryland I feel so blessed to be able to find that bowman single barrel for 60 bucks regularly. Amazing stuff

That jp wisers 18 is a green label. That’s gotta be better than 10 years old. And that forty creek harmony next to it is a 3 grain. Those were some dusty gems for Canadian. The purple crown royal boxes are the noble collection. Yearly special release. The one with the sticker on the front is a 13 year bourbon mash but they had to change the name to 13 year blenders mash. Also keep an eye out Hiram walker releases jp wisers 24 year as an American only release, I have a 100 bottle collection. After drinking scotch in my early 20’s I’ve switched to bourbon for drinking and collecting crown royal and Hiram walker products. Cheers on the hunt.

The Raley’s featured in this video is at the 2389 Wingfield Hills, Spanish Springs location, not Sparks. As for 4:00 PM today, the OFC was still there-in case you were wondering. You can get lucky anywhere, but in my opinion, the only other Raley’s worth visiting in the area would be Incline Village.

I haven't tried any of the FRANK AUGUST but you have to look at the tag around the neck it will say small batch or what type of finish it has , some are mizunara or px brandy that I've seen so far

Frank August single barrel is a must have! The small batch is a good one too. Happy hunting 🥃

Great video brewzle! You da man!!

Redwood Empire Cask is $75 on their website when available.

Grab a Jimmy Red. It'll satisfy that heirloom corn note everybody's trying for. Really good.

Leave the Lagavulin & buy the Bowmore 26. Both from Islay, but the Bowmore 26 is a very rare expression - not too heavily peated but lots of sea salt & iodine

Yeah the Redwood cask strengths are in the $70s. Seems like that one store is double everything at least

Hey there! I don’t know what the best way to contact you is but I’ve been watching your videos for a long time and I have found them really helpful for an insight into the Bourbon world in America! I run a bar in Bristol, UK. At the moment we stock Buffalo Trace, Wild Turkey 101, Eagle Rare 10 Year, Balcones Texas Malt, Sazerac Rye, Rittenhouse Rye & Jack Daniel’s. I want to expand this and make it more interesting, with this list in mind, what would your no.1 choice be to add to it that would be unique and interesting, I’ll stock it and give it a go! Again, love the videos! Keep doing your thing! Hope this gets to you, Taylor

This was an awesome idea for a video, well done man.

Yeah the rye jack is everywhere in ohio...around 70 bucks...great stuff. Even though it is allocated

you should taste other single grain whskeys from scotland and Ireland they do not contain any malted barley. and are colum distilled so you don't taste that malty taste. you will find several different bottles. thanks for the great videos, the best Bourbon channel on youtube. greetings from Finland.

Living in a liquor control state is great cause everything is MSRP. However, allocated things are hard to get here, but great price when you find it

7 Troughs is terrific, their speakeasy was my spot for a while. Love their Gin.

Last bottle of EH Taylor small batch I bought I paid $129, not proud of it but that’s what I paid. Where I live it’s stupid hard to find.

A quick comment on the too many bottles problem...is there a way you could do samplers? 2-3oz pours from several bottles of one distiller or something like that. I know for me most of the bottles you buy are at or exceed my spending limit but if I could buy a sampler of an entire line it would make it easier for me to decide on what bottle Im really after.

Pipe dream cask strengths are everywhere in Phoenix. The 3 closest total wines to me have them almost always for like 75 bucks.

Should of bought the Frank August. Craft distillery and all their releases are excellent.

Awesome concept with the comp!! Cheers

Pity the sad muppets "involved" ruined it with no enthusiasm at the end.

John J Bowman use to be my go to for $55, just a couple years ago. I haven't seen one since. Swing one my way in IN. 😂

Brewzle, try getting 1×1 inch icecube trays for your cocktails. Really stepped up the flavor of my cocktails. Gives me the perfect dilution

Now I'm a scotch guy and a Rare Breed fan but them ryes so many amazing looking bottles with green and white. I pray Rare Breed Rye come to Sweden one day would love to try it. We had Pikesville Rye here a year ago it's amazing but over 100 dollars and I don't know if it will be back.

Reno is a great spot, next time I’m there I have to do a similar run / hunt

Jack Daniels Single Barrel Barrel Strength Rye is readily available around the low 60’s in grocery stores even. That being said we still see them in the museums in different states from time to time for 200+ 🤯 Pretty good indicators they don’t have a pulse of current market prices.

Hope the glass shelves with all the bottles at the Pyramid Liquor store are rated for that much weight. Seems very risky to have all that sitting on glass displays that are probably meant for jewelry. Great video as usual!

I used to get JJB for 39.99 in Virginia consistently. We NEVER could find OFSBBS. Crazy how different state selections are

Video is another reminder International markets are weird. Buffalo Trace products are everywhere in the UK. Springbank meanwhile is super hard to find at MSRP. And it's just sitting on the shelf here, albeit marked up.

The Frank August Small Batch is really, REALLY good, in our opinion. We just opened our 2nd bottle.

“It’s in their best interest to ask the most price they think they can get, it’s in our best interest to try to get it for a better price.” Plain and simple truth, very wise words, Brewzle

The red wood cask strength you can get (at least I can in So Cal) for under 80 for any of them. The rocket tops a lil more but still under 100. The mark up is not bad but its Nevada, our neighbor. Really cool store I'd still walk in

15:50 Cool Store, kinda excited to check-out a good bourbon

Great content. My favorite stores in Reno is the Raley's on the south side of town and Pyramid up north. a good amount of barrel selects there. Not impressed with OFC other than fantastic packaging. I've had a better 15 year old wheated bourbon that was fantastic that still makes me drool to this day. That was Commander's Select 4 from Horse Soldier. I see pyramid had a series 3 right next to the OFC at the 20:04 mark.

Born and raised in Reno. would love to hit up the Raleys. You should do a hunt and meet up in Hawaii. Come to Oahu and check out what we get...

I picked Eagle Rare today in Missoula, MT for $45.

Brewzle, the Redwood Empire CS should only be about $80-$90/bottle. At least that’s what it is here in Sonoma county where it’s made.

I know you not a big Scotch fan but give the Deanston Virgin Oak a chance. It’s aged in new oak to give you the bourbon flavors you like.
