One thing I was taken by last march when I went to some Tennessee and Kentucky distilleries was how polite, accommodating, and friendly the staff was at every place we visited. It was a great experience. I wish I would have went years ago.
Agreed! Most of them are pretty cool. I've had one really forgettable experience with awful customer service and one really mediocre, but have visited 15 in Kentucky the past couple of years and nearly all have been great.
Four roses is one of the most outstanding bourbons I believe My own personal opinion they do wonderful stuff I've got a lot of Ohio single barrel picks to go through but everyone is delicious especially the 12 and 14 years
@@zptwin2 I'm in Ohio so Ohio does a good job with their private select pics anything single barrel barrel strength last year they had some 10-year 6 month bottles plus some almost 12-year-old bottles that came out but they go very very quick people line hours in advance
I did some starlight picks with Mash and Journey yesterday. That place is amazing. Thanks for showing that. Andrew Jerdonek does a phenomenal job. Ted Huber and his family are top notch people. I’m happy to be only an hour away.
Single Barrel Store Picks is what I'm focusing on now. I've found a number of options including Knob Creek, Angel's Envy, Yellowstone, Wilderness Trail and Peerless. I'm hoping to find Four Roses OESO or OESV store picks in my area. That's where I want to start and if I like them move into the other recipes.
Was a pleasant surprise to see Peerless Distillery pop up on your barrel pick adventure. A fella I graduated highschool with is a Master Distiller there. Really good guy, they make great stuff...
You could've easily split this video into multiple videos but it's incredible to see the differences between each distillery in the same video. Thanks Brewzle!
Yeah, definitely could have done each pick as it's own video. We have several single location picks shot that will be individual videos. When we shot this, we weren't sure what we'd be able to show and not show so we just did the whole trip as a video.
Glad to see ya doing some barrel picks in my backyard. I'm a huge fan of Hubers finished Ryes and their cigar batch bourbon and ryes are off the charts good.
That looks like a lot of fun. Without tasting, i would have gone south the Fruity notes and not the herbal notes on the Four Roses pick. I hace only tried one barrel pick and it's OESV at 9+ years. I really like it. 👍
This was fun to follow. Haven't had the chance to do a barrel pick before so interesting to see how it's handled at different distilleries. I was at Peerless not too far off from your visit (Father's Day weekend), and that brunch barrel pick of theirs was delicious. I only ended up taking a bottle of the absinthe finished whiskey home, though.
@@nick263 I love it but it's not subtle at all, so you definitely need to enjoy the anise flavor. I've been meaning to try it in a sazerac but haven't yet. I love sipping it by the firepit on a summer night, though!
I have got to become a patron. I especially want one of the short barrel picks you talked about in a live stream several weeks ago. I love how quickly you are growing and how down to earth you and your family are. Great job!
Wait until you go to heaven Hill if you haven't already been there they take you inside of one of the brand new Rick houses and you get to experience the whole thing I took a 360 view picture from the floor to the ceiling of the barrels and everyone thinks it's absolutely awesome so if you get in there get your phone out and do the 360 camera that takes multiple pictures you won't be disappointed I'm having mine put on a wall
Some of the most enjoyable moments I've had with whiskey is tasting out of a barrel right in the rickhouse. Will check in the whiskey wasteland surrounding Troy, AL to see if I can find a bottle or two of Starlight. They look like my kind of people. Cheers,
So happy to see you at Starlight. I live near the distillery and Andrew is a good friend and my neighbor. Glad you all had a blast and got to enjoy some indiana stuff.
Love your videos, but your Manscaped sponsored ad was just fantastic. I normally skip through in video ad's but couldn't do it for this one. They need to keep you on as a full time as a sponsor. Keep up the awesome content and love what you are doing with Spillway. Great guys over there - Makes me wish I lived closer to their store! Hoping to grab a bottle of the next store pick you drop with them!
You're video inspired me to look into barrel picks. I just convinced my local rod and gun club to do a selection and we were able to get a date at starlight. Cannot wait to check out the distillery in a few months.
Be very careful with those Starlight barrels. They're mighty tasty when you're six to ten samples deep, but they arrive hotter and not always what you remember. Hope you sell all four barrels!
Yeah I’ve gotten 4 different Starlight picks from 3 whiskey groups and they all disappointed me. Not sure what all the hype is about them but I’ve personally given up on the distillery
One of them is actually a Rolling Fork Rum finished in Weller Barrels so I'm confident we are good there. The VDN and Rum Agricole are definitely a bit more niche, but the bourbon we chose was actually an early barrel we tried so I think we landed a pretty good one.
I subscribe when you give the redemption rye an honest review, it is delicious in an old fashion with a couple of dashes of bitters. I already like the video and you try other things so try it.
If you want a super duper weird whiskey, and want a full barrel, here in Finland there is a distillery that does those. They're called Teerenpeli distillery, you can pick your own barrel and they make it custom. Their distillate is awesome, they use the same suppliers for products that all the best scottish distilleries of yesteryear used. Like same malts and all that. They have custom-built scottish style stills and everything. They have even done custom things that are kinda sacrilege for long time customers, like my dad that had a I think half-barrel of whiskey flavoured with Terva, or Tar as you call it. It's super awesome, but very overwhelming.
man,, i never liked alcohol,, i drank maybe 2 or 3 times in mine life,, most of them are disquisting,, but when i see you drink,, you make it look so tasty,,
Man this looks like fun. I love the Starlight Rickhouse store picks I’ve gotten… would love to visit this place! Can’t wait to jump On those picks you made! Man I wish I lived near Spillway would love to jump on a Willett! You have the clout they are just silly at Peerless!
I'd really love it if you could one day get out to Denver and visit Leopold Bros. They are treating their whiskey like scotch. They're floor malting in-house, have an triple column distillation process that runs hotter and slower than a continuous still. They talk a big game and their whiskey brings in a huge price tag. I'd love to know if they're worth the hype.
Great video. Those barrel picks must be fun we don't get much of that kind of stuff in Canada some of the craft distilleries are doing it now. Starlight seems to be doing some interesting things The manscape add is fantastic 13:15
You get any insight on the per bottle cost for Willett? A 10yr Rye was dropped at a local store for $400. A lot were upset, while the store claimed that's the lowest they could do for their own margins
I have watched plenty of your videos. I finally subscribed, you have lots of good content. Keep it up! Fun to see your insights into the whiskey business.
Planning a Kentucky trip soon. What distilleries are the best to hit for distillery exclusives? Probably won't have time for tours but would love to get some bottles I can't find other places.
make sure you plan to be there an hour to two before they open to get the exclusive bottles, i recommend going to Heaven Hill for a full proof pint of elijah and the evan williams tour in downtown louisville has a lot you can only buy in that building
One of the coolest bourbon videos I’ve see, learned a lot, thanks for it! Honest question, no hate here, @peerless , what’s the point of a store pick that is so similar to what they are already offering as their own pick? Can’t you just get it from them? Is it more about local availability ?
These barrels can vary WILDLY. You want something different from the normal release so it's interesting to those that buy these picks. However, if you are a store that only has local buyers that may not be really into bourbon, then you run the risk of it being too different and folks not wanting to buy it. So, just because folks that are "whiskey nerds" love it, doesn't mean the general public will. In my case I just buy what's most interesting to me (or the group that goes with me to do the pick) because that's what most of y'all that watch these will want as well.
Think for new Patreons there is still a chance to get picks or would I be too far down the list? Just curious. Love the channel and content. I’m in Memphis so I’ll be making a pilgrimage to Spillway soon.

Glad to hear it!
He got me to try new things too. Dang it. Now I've got to work more overtime to support my drinking habit. 🤦😳😂
10 years later… Dan you brewzle!! I lost my job and drink in the streets!
Same here just started 🎉
Starlight has the best pick experience in the entire whiskey game! Those strawberry's are phenomenal
I agree!

It's because they're always drunk lol. Also they're trying to sell you something.
I lived in Kentucky for a Couple years (Ft Knox) and the local people were awesome.
Thanks to you i tried four roses small batch. It was my intro to 4 roses and now i want to try the whole lineup.
It's good stuff!
Four roses is one of the most outstanding bourbons I believe My own personal opinion they do wonderful stuff I've got a lot of Ohio single barrel picks to go through but everyone is delicious especially the 12 and 14 years
Brand new into bourbon. What do you recommend from four roses?

I’m driving through Mississippi in a few weeks hopefully I can stop by.
Glad to see ya doing some barrel picks in my backyard. I'm a huge fan of Hubers finished Ryes and their cigar batch bourbon and ryes are off the charts good.
By far the best experience and what got me into bourbon was doing a barrel pick at 4 roses.
We had a clear winner. Ended up buying 2 barrels. OESO ftw.
Starlight people are some of the best to do it. I had such an over the top day on a pick there.
That looks like a lot of fun. Without tasting, i would have gone south the Fruity notes and not the herbal notes on the Four Roses pick. I hace only tried one barrel pick and it's OESV at 9+ years. I really like it. 👍
With Spillway being my local store, I’m pretty excited!
This was fun to follow. Haven't had the chance to do a barrel pick before so interesting to see how it's handled at different distilleries. I was at Peerless not too far off from your visit (Father's Day weekend), and that brunch barrel pick of theirs was delicious.

Let me know how the absinthe finish is, seen it around but haven’t pulled the trigger
@@nick263 I love it but it's not subtle at all, so you definitely need to enjoy the anise flavor. I've been meaning to try it in a sazerac but haven't yet. I love sipping it by the firepit on a summer night, though!
That’s the best manscape ad I’ve ever heard you killed it
God damn son 4 barrel’s 😳 that’s one hell of a good time to be had cheers 🥃 .
Orange/Chocolate is Terry's Chocolate Orange, popular during Xmas here. That's excellent for whisky.
Im yelling “PEERLESS” like im at the craps table! I hope to see you get a barrel pick, Brewzle!
Thank you lol!
Starlight’s VDN finish is fantastic
this was freakin wiiiiicked! loved watching the barrel picking process, very stoked about the picks to come!
I have got to become a patron. I especially want one of the short barrel picks you talked about in a live stream several weeks ago.
I love how quickly you are growing and how down to earth you and your family are. Great job!
Glad you got to go to Four Roses for a barrel pick. They've definitely got some of my favorite bottles.
Nice to see the process! I'll be at Four Roses next month for a barrel pick. Glad to see you getting these opportunities! Cheers!

Love this. So interesting getting to watch this. I would love to get in on a barrel pick tasting
I want to get a Four Roses barrel pick so bad but I haven't found a liquor store that has them yet. Gonna have to keep on looking.
awesome video, really cool to see the process of selecting barrels

Love the videos been in Louisville since February and enjoying getting to know the lay of the land so far. Thanks fir all the great advice
man,, i never liked alcohol,, i drank maybe 2 or 3 times in mine life,, most of them are disquisting,, but when i see you drink,, you make it look so tasty,,
Sir,
Thank you for you're chanel and sharing you're knowledge. I enjoy bourbon and you are priceless. Safe travels..
What a great video. I’ve always imagined what this process would be like. Thanks for pulling back the curtain.
Man this looks like fun. I love the Starlight Rickhouse store picks I’ve gotten… would love to visit this place! Can’t wait to jump
On those picks you made! Man I wish I lived near Spillway would love to jump on a Willett! You have the clout they are just silly at Peerless!
Enjoying this one so far
Thank you!
This would be a dream of mine. Picking a Four Roses barrel from 10 options!? Great!
It's always a great time doing barrel picks. Cheers my friend.
Love 4roses, I try to not miss a drop and I’m only 10 minutes away from spillway.
Starlights 10yr BiB Apple Brandy is unreal a must try
I'd really love it if you could one day get out to Denver and visit Leopold Bros. They are treating their whiskey like scotch. They're floor malting in-house, have an triple column distillation process that runs hotter and slower than a continuous still. They talk a big game and their whiskey brings in a huge price tag.

How does one go about purchasing a full 55 gallon barrel of bourbon, and how much money would be needed for said purchase ?
had an oesv store pick recently not as complex as the obsv but super consistentsweet flavod
I love starlight picks. I wish 4 roses didnt boycott NY state. Would love to get some more Single barrel picks from them.
Great video. That would be a very cool experience.
The best video I've ever seen! Thanks Brewzle
I have watched plenty of your videos. I finally subscribed, you have lots of good content. Keep it up! Fun to see your insights into the whiskey business.
Just got an OESF the other day, love it man!
Would love a Peerless Brewzle pick. I love the reg Peerless so a pick would be 🔥🔥🔥
I'd love to do barrel picks ❤ preferring to be for michters or blantons but I have been hearing things new coming from b. Trace
Great video! Always wondered how store picks work
This should be done like the eye dr. “Better 1 or 2” repeat until nothing left
Would be nice to know what all those acronyms stand for when she talks about recipies. OESO, OBSV, OESF - what is that?!

@@Brewzle thank you, Sir!
Looks like so much fun, thanks for uploading! ☺️👍
How do I give 10 thumbs up. Love this video. Thanks Brewle!
Nailed the Manscaped add. Hahaha
That add was a game changer! 😜
The way he said "really?" at the 22min mark. You know he's going to be passing that info to his boss for an idea!
Plot twist: same thing in all barrels...😂😉
Looking forward to the Evan Williams version of this. 😉
What a fantastic video, thank you for doing this! Upgrade that clout, I want to go on one of your pick trips!
What is the total price for the 4R barrel pick? My Bourbon Society in NC is interested and was curious about cost. Thanks Brew!
Fresh off a few pours and seeing this on TH-cam, boom!! Cheers
Where could I get some info on some bottles of LL weller. I have 2 and one still has the Arkansas paper tax stamp on it
I can’t wait to pick one up!

ok i got to ask what do you do with the barrel you pick? that's a lot of whiskey , where can i try them
Distilleries should be all in your email asking you to buy/do barrel picks at 420k subscribers. Its only positive for them.
I'll definitely take some of that Weller-aged Rum off your hands when you're ready TJ.
Get ready...
How do you do your barrel pick bottle for people who like in state run abc states like Virginia?
That guy with the beard was one of the shop keepers when you got the free bottles right
How much does a barrel cost? I don’t know anything, just casually watching. Not my jam, but your hobby is very interesting
Brewzle level up my game again 😎😎😎

Also, I don’t understand why peerless would not give you a barrel pick. They should do it for the right price, what they have to loose?

I don’t drink liquor at all and only ever drink beer socially. But I’ve watched every single video and love the behind the scenes of barrel picking!
Get a life or start drinking 🤷♂️
Manscaped!!! AWSOME!
Awesome vid Brewzle.
I’ve watched you for months thinking I was subscribed but I just hit that sub button 😂😭😅
No spit cups for whiskey tasting??? That's insane.
Man ur lucky… my mouth kept watering every time u took a taste😂😂😂
How much are casks?
This guy's tolerance is very high. Even if he drank 1/4, that's 2.5 shots. Wow
Think for new Patreons there is still a chance to get picks or would I be too far down the list? Just curious. Love the channel and content. I’m in Memphis so I’ll be making a pilgrimage to Spillway soon.
We have a lot of picks coming so should have a good chance when they start dropping.
So you leave with a sample flask, so when the barrel arrives you can be sure its the same barrel you picked?
Really so you can hype it and share with folks that didn't make it.
that looks like an aboslute blast
