To give you an idea of what happened on the drama. Guy shows up an hour before the store opens and gets on the list. He waits until the store is about to open and hangs out near the door. The employee opens the door, lets 2 folks in, and then locks the door. She opened the door and that guy just walked in with the #1 in line. The second guy in line just froze and was stunned for a few seconds and in that time she locked the door and went in to check those 2 folks out. By the time the rest of the line realized what had happened he was already checked out (it only takes a minute or two) and it was too late to really do anything about it. The employees were apologetic because they didn't know but nothing anyone can do once he has checked out.
I'm from Indiana and I've never seen one on a shelf. Drove through Kansas the other day and stopped at 1 store. I asked the lady for a Weller 12 and got laughed at. But after a a 10 minute talk she walked in the back and grabbed me a owa 107. I was a happy customer.
you should see how crazy people here in northeastern Iowa are for specialty craft beer. specifically Toppling Goliath brewery and pulpit rock brewery. people waiting in line for 12 hours in the dead of winter. ice fishing tents lined up on the sidewalk. it gets crazy!
Been subbed since before our boy had 4k subs and I gotta say I love these longer form videos. The sweet car, the man on the street interviews and the in depth explanation of how bourbon hunting works all makes for a really top notch viewing experience. This legitimately feels like it could be a full fledged TV show
The liquor seller from my province (LCBO)got quite a few hundred bottles of the Antique 107 in today. But they go quick. Was able to grab a bottle for $70CAD retail.
Thanks for the lists its really helpful, Its so daunting when there's such a choice some people make the mistake of maybe picking an expensive one and the flavour style is not for them and their put of forever your doing the industry a huge service
@@Brewzle just the overhyped usuals. I recently stumbled onto two Blanton’s at very near retail. Never owned a bottle and the other was for a gift. Surprisingly they weren’t from the drops at the ABC stores. My favorites found in AL though have been a BS SiB Four Roses store pick and one of the 2022 ECBPs. I can no longer find any RR SiB (picks or regular) in my area, one of my favorites. Just have to fall back on 101 and Rare Breed but happily, and continue looking when I travel.
Crazy enough here in MA Weller 107 and Special Reserve were in the regular aisle lately at a large chain for roughly MSRP. There was limit 1, but that is understandable. I was glad to get lucky and buy them. The smaller "mom and pop" stores charge 3-5x for these limited bourbons and it's infuriating. Blanton's behind the register for $300 is just absolutely comical and I wish there was a way to control that. People lose their minds over Blanton's and it just makes the effort not worth it.
Thanks for sharing the experience. Where i live these were all shelf bourbons until about a year ago. All good stuff but im only standing in line for william larue weller. Stuff like this ill get on secondary and stay k bed all morning
I walked into the store this past Wednesday after work and saw one last bottle of Weller 107 and was so freaking excited man. It was slightly over MSRP at 64.99 but i never see this stuff and had to buy it.
7 years ago i was in the usa in San Francisco and bought a bottle of 107 (old livery) it was my first botlle of bourbon, im a scotch guy! :) It was easy to get what a difference in all these years.
I see videos like this and truly have to count my blessings. I've built relationships with 3-4 stores and 2 of them call me when any allocated bottle drops that I'm looking for. An the best part is they're not much over retail for cost.
I can get Special Reserve 24/7 365 but almost never see Antique anymore. I am fine with SR on a daily basis. You can chase Antique if you want to. I would drive 30 minutes to get a bottle if I knew a place I could get it for retail price.
This is a state run system, there is no finding it from store managers unless you work the small gas station liquor stores but they usually mark it way up.
This is crazy! I remember being offered Blanton's when I bought my first Talisker 10 bottle! I was like thanks but no thanks. Years later I finally bought the Gold and Single Barrel they were good but nothing to warrant this kind of madness... The Straight From the Barrel though... different ballgame!
107 is something I’d pay extra for (probably up to $100), but no way would I wait hours in line over it. Then again, I might feel differently if some of that time were spent getting content for a TH-cam channel. Good stuff, man. My coworker turned me on to this channel and I’m enjoying watching your bourbon hunts!
I used to work at a Liquor Store and this was always such a headache. I was lucky I never had to stand in line for Weller, Blantons, Birthday Bourbon or even Pappy.
You don't have to imagine, I just showed you! It's fun, life isn't that serious. I couldn't imaging trekking over a mountain to shoot a deer, but people do it and enjoy it.
In Louisville Kentucky, I was at a Best Buy and decided to walk to a Total Wine on a Sunday at 12:55 right before they opened at 1:00. Only 3 other people waiting around before me. Just so happens they had a Buffalo Trace drop and I got a Weller Antique. Best last minute decision of my life.
Great video! Obviously different states do different things. Recently, I walked in to a little ABC store here in South Carolina on a Saturday after they received their Thursday delivery and found a Weller 107 ($99) and Blanton's ($169) on the shelf! We don't get updates of when bottles are dropped, or uh, to be delivered and where. We have to build relationships. Love those little, off the beaten path stores. However, I found another little store that had 3 bottles of Blanton's. I played dumb. "Hey, that's a cool bottle. How much for that?" $200 and something! No things! Happy hunting! And remember, if it ain't Kentucky, it ain't bourbon!
Up here in Canada we're lucky to get any whatsoever, they recently had a whiskey release in my province and they had 2 cases of Weller full proof, they had to raffle the bottles off like 300 people for 24 bottles
Camping outside for bourbon is such a foreign and weird concept to me, let alone buffalo trace products which i rarely enjoy. They arent common here but ive passed on allocations (especially bt ones) so many times even at msrp. Its just whiskey. Also weird to see angels envy rye on the list they posted, thats just a standard product around here (and one i think has a lot of additives in it). I mean if thats how somebody wants to spend their time in the morning more power to them but my time is worth so much more than a blantons or 107 to me. Im sure you get to meet some cool people at least.
It's a lot of fun. I spend almost all of my time working and making content (100+ hours often per week) from home. I love any reason to get out of the house at this point and combining a few things I enjoy (people, bourbon, creating a video).
Spouting your own opinion like it is an objective truth is such a foreign and weird concept to me, let alone not even being asked for it. You sought out this video yet you're judging and calling this man weird for doing something he enjoys? How weird of you
Hi! This is the first video of yours i've ever seen and i really liked it. I subscribed. Thanks for the great video and i look forward to watching you on a regular basis! i'm in southeast texas, by the way.
I'm pretty new here, so I don't know how you feel about scotch, but if you love a smokey whisky, you have GOT to try Johnny Walker Double Black. It's Black Label that they finished aging in charred sherry casks. The peat and smoky flavor is out of this world, and it goes down smoother than water. The best part is the finish, which is a little sweet, but the smoke is all over the finish. It's by far the best alcohol I've ever had, and a 750ml bottle retails for around $45 in GA. It's a steal for what it is, and I definitely recommend it!
There are scalpers out there causing people these issues. If it were just for personal bottles there would be no issue, but the secondary market is getting out of hand.
I put Weller 107 out at multiple parties and not one person liked the taste. Smells great but just wasn't well received. Weller full proof on the other hand was a BIG hit.
I know that’s supposed to be the only difference but the full proof seems a whole lot better. By the way, your videos are a fun watch, thanks for the effort. I like the flat hat.
Honestly I can’t deny how awesome Weller 107 is. However if I ever run out, I’m happy picking up a makers 101 or cask strength as the “ consolation prize
Brother never seen anything like this before ... Lining up for Whiskey ... this is GOLD !!! Weller Antique 107 saying 400 bucks here in Australia ... is that correct ..
In Kentucky you can pick up most of the stuff up any time you want. I think I'm refusing to pick up the bourbon hobby cause me and bourbon rarely leads to a good time. I still enter pappy raffles though lol.
lol. Uncle buck drove a Mercury Grand Marquis, which was the lesser version of the Lincoln Continental. This is the epitome of class and sophistication. But, now I'm look at the uncle buck hat and jacket online..
The OWA, SR, EHT SB, ER 10, Blantons (plus a pick) dropped in Ontario. Due to it being a government control province these were available online only and 1 each only. Literally thousands of them dropped and other than the Weller SR were gone in a few hours. The SR bottles are still available because nobody wants them. Like you OWA is a daily sipper for me so I like to have 2-3 handy to last until the next drop. I usually only grab an OWA
Sucks that happened but it happens for everything with a line. Limited edition shoes have the same line up style and mostly everyone is respectful but I can’t tell you how many times I couldn’t get my size because someone cut the line last minute.
How does one use the bathroom? People leave, come back, and resume their spot? How do the early guys handle the later guys who line form. Do they make the later guys back up so the early guys are front of the line?
Dang I got two liquor stores within 1 and a half miles of me with Blanton’s, Antique 107, and Eagle Rare just in stock. Too expensive for me, but they’re sittin there.
I applaud the efforts, I just have to laugh that people will wait 10 hours for a $90 secondary bottle verses just going and working or slinging doordash for 10 hours and make a few hundred to just pay for a bottle for a markup.
I get it, but you are missing the point though. It’s a hangout with others that makes it fun. I can easily afford secondary prices on Weller but I like the camaraderie.
@@Brewzle Understand that brother! I am no hypocrite as I have waited a few hours in line myself but for EC18, Old Fitz 16, and some Weller 12. I am also lucky to live in Kentucky where we make all the juice. Still hard as hell to get even in Kentucky.
In California, 95% of the places that get the "good stuff" mark up the price. The CHEAPEST I've seen Blanton's in California in the last 5 years is $150. Weller Special Reserve is occasionally available at $30 or less, but 107 runs around $100
The store employee should read the names off the list to let those people in according to their place on it. I have read about people going to BT and walking up to the door to get a place in line before they are open. They get sent back out to their cars.
@@Brewzle I was at my Kroger store this Monday and picked up a bottle of Weller SR. I could have gotten Antique, but I have ( 5 ) 750ml and ( 1 ) 1.50 at home But I cant find Blantons here, but Buffalo Trace is only 171 miles away.
I found an unopened, sealed Weller Antique 107 in the old style Antique label and bottle from 2000. It was in my bar. Is this a different Bourbon? Says distilled and bottled by Weller and Sons on the label. I found a couple old Blantons too.

It's honestly not about the bottle! TJ would've bailed my out of county
lol, there were a couple of people there that needed to be talked down but it was too late.
What bottles did the jerk get? Did he get the 107 from the 12th person?
He got a Blanton's and a Buffalo Trace.
@@Brewzle rookie

Definitely need more allocation drop videos! Great video, TJ!
i never would've thought people get excited for whiskey to come out. i'm so intrigued
People tend to get way too into whatever hobby they are interested in, this one is definitely no exception.

There was a store that got a pallet of owa store pick, was there months, granted this a few years ago.
thinks were very different a few years ago.
Thanks for sharing the experience. Where i live these were all shelf bourbons until about a year ago. All good stuff but im only standing in line for william larue weller. Stuff like this ill get on secondary and stay k bed all morning
For the record, Weller Antique and Weller Special Reserve are both 12 to a case.
As soon as he said he’d need two cases I was like “why?” Good call
Yeah, I was just thinking about the time I was 7th and was out of the Weller Full Proof. Didn't realize that the 107 was 12.
I walked into the store this past Wednesday after work and saw one last bottle of Weller 107 and was so freaking excited man. It was slightly over MSRP at 64.99 but i never see this stuff and had to buy it.

These are my favorite videos from this channel. The vlogging content.
I have never enjoyed vlogging but this is definitely the exception.
Wow, thank you!
I have a bottle of Weller Antique and I have been saving that bad boy
Love these whiskey drop videos! Definitely interesting to see how other parts of the country distribute their whiskey. Keep ‘em coming Brewzle!
Thanks Kris!

Ok, I will agree it needs a bend. I see the trend of giant flat brim hats and it just looks funny to me.
64.99 here in MA. Can find it 2-3 times a year from the store managers. Each state is different.
Not worth an overnight stay for sure.
This is a state run system, there is no finding it from store managers unless you work the small gas station liquor stores but they usually mark it way up.
That intro from the fridge, reminded me of Good Eats. Been really enjoying your channel!
Here in Ohio OWA used to flow like water, even smaller kroger stores would get 3-4 cases weekly, now it’s a delicacy and hasn’t dropped in weeks 😅
They're dropping all over Dayton right now. Picked up a bottle today after missing out at 2 other stores last week.
@@frostyheat22 yeah its been popping up every week since this comment lol

Love seeing how other states work!!! Thanks TJ. I’m in state controlled NC. Works quite different here.
I'm going to get to other states here soon and document hunting in those. It will be fun to see.
If you get to NC, let me know how I can help. I have a couple hookups.

Should put up a do not sell to sign with a mugshot of that guy on the store wall of shame
When Mr. Linejumper comes out of the store just take care of business...
Or is that what you meant by,"he won't do that again"😂
I had no idea people camp out// wait in line for bottles to be released. Must be some good stuff.
There are scalpers out there causing people these issues. If it were just for personal bottles there would be no issue, but the secondary market is getting out of hand.

Nothing wrong with that consolation prize at all.

Hope you enjoy!
All you’re missing is a cigar like pappy with that hat and a Glencarin glass cruising in that Lincoln & You’re all set.
Ya bro the hat works for sure.

I scored a find last week. I bought 10 bottles of Blanton’s last week at $75 each. Standing in line for hours just to get one seems insane to me.
Thank God I don’t live in one of those states. Camping out for these bottles is crazy.
That’s crazy! I’ve never seen Weller 107 get taken before Blanton’s.
It always goes first here.
I find it fascinating that Wiskey has a “drop” so to speak. I had no idea the extent of whiskey world but I’m more interested now.
Its interesting to see but not experience. Camping out all night for Wellers or blantons is WILD!
@@mrphenom1643 I love it when people are genuinely interested in something just for the joy of it.
Like the new hat.
I was thinking Burl Ives on the hat. A positive with a Lincoln.
I wanna get this bourbon, also the knob creek 18!
I wish it was my regular sipper. I have a bottle but i holding onto it best I can.
Never seen 107 in the wild in Illinois
Hat looks great, you sport it Weller 😊😅😂
Interesting video my friend, I enjoyed it.
I’m lucky I guess. I found a 1979 old weller gold vein from a private seller.
UNCLE BUCK WE LOVE YOUR CAR..
lol. Uncle buck drove a Mercury Grand Marquis, which was the lesser version of the Lincoln Continental. This is the epitome of class and sophistication. But, now I'm look at the uncle buck hat and jacket online..
They have Antique 107 in multiple stores in ohio. Come bourbon hunting with me over here
What happened to your driving hat? Thought you were going to change it up...And the cuts did not go unnoticed. Nice touch.
The hat I was wearing when I bought the car? Still have it, was looking at something with a bill but still uncertain about it.
I like the new driving hat
Do you know if NC does drops like this? If so, how do you find out when/where/what will be dropped?
love the video Hat does need a bit of a bend though
This was interesting.
Thanks for posting.
Personally I'm not into this camping out at all.
I walked in to my local pavilions and saw this bottle on the shelf’s for 65$ limit one 🎉
I wouldn’t even line up for the 12….CYPB and SiB yes.
Yeah, but around here you'd have to wait in line for 2 nights for either of those.
3:21 Even Superman (Christopher Reeve) seems to like his bourbon
The OWA, SR, EHT SB, ER 10, Blantons (plus a pick) dropped in Ontario. Due to it being a government control province these were available online only and 1 each only. Literally thousands of them dropped and other than the Weller SR were gone in a few hours. The SR bottles are still available because nobody wants them. Like you OWA is a daily sipper for me so I like to have 2-3 handy to last until the next drop. I usually only grab an OWA
Can't beat that OWA for a regular.
Sucks that happened but it happens for everything with a line. Limited edition shoes have the same line up style and mostly everyone is respectful but I can’t tell you how many times I couldn’t get my size because someone cut the line last minute.

@@Brewzle Understand that brother! I am no hypocrite as I have waited a few hours in line myself but for EC18, Old Fitz 16, and some Weller 12. I am also lucky to live in Kentucky where we make all the juice. Still hard as hell to get even in Kentucky.
Or just buy Makers Wood series for $60 which is better
Allocation day? We don't have those in Florida. I wish we did
down in Texas we have to spend 500$ to buy the Weller special and 1800 to buy a bottle of 107
That's a dope driving hat. Forget how it looks, how does it FEEL?
Angels envy rye is on an allocation drop lol
Yeah, Angels envy normal release is often in this drop but it's always left over because it's not overly desirable to this crowd.
In California, 95% of the places that get the "good stuff" mark up the price. The CHEAPEST I've seen Blanton's in California in the last 5 years is $150. Weller Special Reserve is occasionally available at $30 or less, but 107 runs around $100
I miss buying this off the shelf at $24.95
The store employee should read the names off the list to let those people in according to their place on it. I have read about people going to BT and walking up to the door to get a place in line before they are open. They get sent back out to their cars.
it's not their list.. We self regulate and get people in line but it only takes one person to spoil that system.
@@Brewzle I was at my Kroger store this Monday and picked up a bottle of Weller SR. I could have gotten Antique, but I have ( 5 ) 750ml and ( 1 ) 1.50 at home
But I cant find Blantons here, but Buffalo Trace is only 171 miles away.
Weller 12 came in a case of 12 so im assuming 12 I work at a liquor store
The 107 and special reserve is 12 packs and the rest are 6 packs
This is shocking to me. Alabama needs a big overhaul when it comes to their liquor laws.
That looks like a plantation owners hat 😳
I found an unopened, sealed Weller Antique 107 in the old style Antique label and bottle from 2000.
It was in my bar. Is this a different Bourbon? Says distilled and bottled by Weller and Sons on the label.
I found a couple old Blantons too.
The hat is key!!!!
Thanks!
