If you’re hating on Andy, you kinda don’t belong here. I’m totally taking five bottles of bourbon. I’ve dismissed and throwing them in the freezer. Do whatever you want to your bourbon, it’s your bourbon. What a great episode. 🙌🏼👏🏼
Wouldn’t do it to bourbon if all things but any other distilled spirits sure, some bourbon gets super gross if you freeze it and most times you don’t actually get the real flavor if they are stuck in a freezer. To each their own though. Me personally I like to drink my bourbon neat and would rather have it at room temperature.
I agree its your add ice or not, mix or not, you paid for it. I tried the bourbon in the freezer to not need ice but it go so thick I didn't like the "drinkablity" of it afterwards I rather the more "runny" texture of my bourbon non freezer kept but its yours do what you want.
Incase ANY OF YOU are wondering if TJ is really who he is in his videos, HE IS! KIND, FUN, RESPECTFUL, and THOUGHTFUL! What he doesn’t tell you is that he occasionally gives his hunt bottles to his fans that he meets while hunting! That’s HUMBLE KINDNESS! He can truly pull us fans out of our daily struggles of life for just a little while during the videos. What a gift! A true enthusiast highlighting the social camaraderie of whiskey! I want to offer the sincerest and kindest THANK YOU to TJ, his family, his Brewzle Team/Crew, and the B-Team! Same to Ben Gillette in this vid! Ben is the man! God Bless Whiskey Fam and B-Team! Sincerely, Andy “The Freezer Whiskey Guy” …for now lol🫡🥃💪🫶
One of your best episodes I've seen. And to quote the philosophy of another channel, "The best whiskey is the whiskey you like, the way you like to drink it." There is no right or wrong way for YOU to enjoy YOUR whiskey.
19:43 Can I just say how much I admire this guy. Not only is he organized in the fridge but damn, he organized in his garage. Even the cleaning supplies are organized 😮
@@thomasanderson2870 I love how he gives away all the local spots so when you get off work and go to pick up a bottle their all gone cause this guy came and made a stupid video there he's screwing over the "regular guys" who buy bourbon/whiskey dipshets
This is my favorite brewzle video so far! Dude was so excited to see you , and I think it's awesome that you went to his place to sample his whiskeys. I imagine you absolutely made his day! Good on you TJ! Love your content
You are so right! Jimmy Russell master distiller of wild turkey says his favorite way is to keep a bottle in the freezer and sip neat on the front porch
This was such a genuine interaction with Andy. He just showed up to browse some bourbons after watching one of your videos, expanding his taste a bit, and boom, meets you doing a video. It's nice to see that he has a system that works for him & what he likes, not just because it's what everyone else is doing. He likes it in the freezer & fridge as a refreshing bourbon to have, probably after a days work, and I still find that very respectable. Cool garage too. Great vid ultimately.
Dont hate on bourbon out of the freezer. Many of the old timers do this. I would consider myself an old timer. You get to drink it neat and cold. And then experience the profile at different temps as it warms in the glass. I dont have bottles in freezer now because of what it does to the label and some cheap corks (4 Roses)l. Just take a bottle and put in for an hour or so. Brewzle, you are a straight shooter not afraid of public opinion or corporations coming down on you. Stay strong, you are a solid dude. Hope to run into y'all someday in College Station TX or on the road.
@brewzle This video was one of the better ones you've put out. I'm glad you finally took a bit of a stance about whiskey pricing and secondary. It's not the job of a store to gouge shoppers. I 100% don't mind paying a small premium for a hard to source bottle. When you get to know store owners/managers you learn how annoying it is for them to obtain these allocated bottles and it's totally fair for them to want a little more margin - as long as they are getting it into the hands of their customers. The best part about bourbon is sharing your bottles, IMO. It's nice to own a bunch of stuff, but it's better to share it with people. It's like having a pool. A pool is nice. A pool party is far more fun. I also appreciate your comments on finished whiskey - because I've been soapboxing that same point for the past year. A finished bourbon is usually just a wasted bourbon IMO. Finishing a bad bourbon to mask that it is bad or young is akin to flavoring whiskey. Here's why... bourbon doesn't take on the notes of most wine finishes very well. It's just not complimentary. On the other hand, a bourbon finished in honey or maple often just over amplifies that note which is already present in a decent bourbon. Most times you are decreasing the complexity of the bourbon by adding a finish or you are burying the inherit flavors of a bourbon. There are two finishes I like on bourbon - double oak (but only a few of them are good IMO), or a rye barrel finish (because I like rye). Rye and single malts are very different though. Rye is a much stronger grain flavor and you can add more complexity with a wine, rum, honey, or maple finish. Some of my favorite bottles are finished RY3 releases. Rye also takes to a double oaking far better than bourbon, IMO. American Single malts, Scotch, Irish, and etc take well to finishing by nature. Those whiskies then to be low complexity and take very well to a secondary, or full maturation, in a used cask. A good PX finished Scotch can be great. To me... avoid anything finished in Port. I feel like Port has become to goto wet ass barrel to use if your whiskey is horrible. You throw it in a barrel with a little (or a lot) of port still sloshing around inside and you charge a hefty price. MWND is the most well known offender but I know many smaller brands do that same thing. I've actually talked to a master distiller at a craft shop and he admitted that 100% they throw their bad barrels into a port finish to salvage their bad whiskey... and then charge 2x what they charge for the good barrels.
The guys at Party Time are awesome folk. First Capital actually lowered the price on that Weller FP pick, it was $360. They are out of their minds, that's double secondary.
Brewzel check out your comment section! You have built an incredible community that auppoets others and even opened peoples eyes to another way to try their whiskey! I have not read all the comments however i am sure there are a couple of binehead comments but there is always a couple in a crowd however most everyone is supportive and kind! That my friend is somethimg to be proud of!
@andybaldman not sure what you do not understand other than a misspelled word. I am congratulating him on having such a supportive community! I did not read every single comment however every one that I did read was very kind and all agreed the best whiskey is the whiskey you like the way you like to drink it! I said there is always a bone head in a crowd but the overwhelming consensus was supportive! That is something to be proud of!
Whiskey should be enjoyed the way you like it the best. Mixed, on the rocks, with a few drops of water or straight out of the bottle. It was incredibly fun that you came home with him, and what a fine fellow he was. I would love to share a bottle with him!
New to the channel. Been watching for a couple of months now. Im new to the Burbon thing but when i moved to South Carolina my friends here are all about it. This is my favorite episode yet so far.
Very fun “meeting” random ppl as you travel!! The freezer storage is a new one- I MIGHT start with putting a bottle in a beer fridge first and see what happens!
My man Andy seems like the nicest most genuine guy true southern hospitality right there. Got some beautiful trucks and a killer shop with a fridge full of bourbon, what more could a man ask for
He genially is. Me and him worked together in the air force (way back in the day). I lost contact with him but I’m glad he’s still doing well. Had to go find him after this.
I cant speak for no one else, but I appreciate you and all you do. Thanks for keeping a passion of mine going and growing. You also knock sense in my head and keep me from over paying for unicorns. Found 3 bottles of RR15 today at one store and were $800 each. I just cannot and will not justify that, hell $250-300 is a lot for a bottle
That’s so cool for you to run into a fan and just do what you do, take them on board and then end up at their place just trying some new whiskeys! Love your channel, keep them coming!!!
DUDE I'm jealous of this guys shop. Imagine working in your shop, then popping open the freezer and pouring a glass of ice cold bourbon. Ok I would have my bourbon on a self and pour in a glass and drink neat or with a big block of ice but his setup is still nice.
Great job Andy and glad you’re in the community! I’m not a freezer guy but I don’t like cold bourbon but I put all my clear liquor in there. lol. #BottleKill #BTeam.
I got one of those blue run emerald ryes near Tampa for 39.99 a bottle on sale at a private owned, amazing deal I couldn’t pass it up and it did not disappoint.
As an Indiana resident let me tell you the key to bourbon hunting........Indianapolis........three Total Wines = great prices and selection...........Three Costco's= limited selection, rock bottom prices..........Finally...Rural INN.....a renowned liquor store sponsoring tastings and multiple liquor events. This store is know throughout the Midwest and has been known to divert vacationers from multi-state distances.
I'm that guy who just collects. In a year and a half I put together a collection of over 1300 bottles. Maybe nobody is enjoying them now but I'm 77 so in a few years somebody will be able to enjoy things they never would have seen otherwise. Keep the videos coming.
I have the same Acquisition Disorder but with tinned pipe tobacco. I've got about 60 pounds stashed in different closets more than I could ever enjoy, but it's nice to share with friends and see their faces when I give them a dozen tins without flinching.
I'm in my forties and try to buy at LEAST one good bottle a month and stash it away under the stairs while I sip on J.T.S. Brown. My logic is that if I ever get to retire I'll be drinking like a king for the rest of my life!
Some store owners think having the bottles brings in customers to see them. Then they buy other things. They don’t really want to sell the allocated stuff.
Man that Greenville party time guy. God blessed him today. He bought 15 cases thinking he’d get 3 but got them all, and was probably wondering how he’d sell them all. Then you come along, show his store to the world, and I’d bet he’s selling them pretty well because of you. This was a crazy thing to have recorded man, that’s god working in plain sight.
Thanks for noticing, Brother! She has compounds and a G-56 with a Southbend clutch and a laundry list of go fast stuff lol 💪💪 I see ya, Diesel Brother 💪
One time i ordered a neat pour at a bar of knob 120, it was served with no ice in it, but you could tell they chilled the bourbon because it was cold and it still tasted awesome
You guys were in my backyard. You should have checked out Bottles Unlimited in New Albany. Great selection, tasting bar, & a good selection of store picks.
This was a great vid. Brother was pumped to have met you. I wouldn’t store it in a freezer, but hey a man’s willing to open up his home/freezer. I’m in. Salud 🍻
So I am new to the hunt but I must say one of my favorites is New Riff SB for the $$. And if you happen to get a store pic it's even better. I have blinded it with Holliday, 2x0 and barrel vantage and Old Forester 1920 and it came out top every time.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who refuses to pay secondary. I'm in Louisville, and that's all you can find anymore. It does make me go outside the box and try lots of different types and I have figured out a bunch that are just as good and not allocated. Great video today, thanks guys!
Very cool video! I have a couple bottles of inexpensive bourbon chilling in my bar fridge for mixed drinks. Saves an ice cube or two and makes the pour a bit more palatable, in my opinion.
So true brother..if I buy it I drink it. My family was in the liquor manufacturing with Canada Dry at Camp Nelson KY on the Kentucky River. I grew up smelling sour mash.😋😋😋😋😋
In a non-climate-controlled garage like that, the fridge/freezer is probably the best place for those bottles...and if Andy's wife is anything like mine, keeping them out on the counter is a NO GO! Andy seems like a cool dude.
Brother, don't always watch but always check in every once in a while. Amazing to watch you go from 4,800 subs to 662k subs. #WhiskeyWhisperer #brewzleDawg #AmericanDream #80flavors
I love your videos andI don’t understand all the hate. I’m 23 and have been enjoying your videos for a while now and I’ve been trying new whiskeys and learning a lot about what I like and don’t. Thank you sir
Watched this today and drove straight to the first store to pick up a JD sbbs rye. Very pleased they had them right in the spot it was on your visit. Thanks for a great episode. That freezer idea has me pondering my entire experience with bourbon 🥶🥃
If I had room in my freezer I would totally throw a bottle of Dickel in there in solidarity with ole Andy lol. He drives a Dodge but we are brothers now lol.
Picked a bottle of Elmer T Lee in a realllllly rural town in Florida a couple of months ago and bit the bullet at 400 bux for the bottle. I had never seen one in the wild, so I figured it might be my only opportunity. The markup on these things is truly outrageous.

You are awesome man super good vibes keep the good vibrations man :D
Andy made this video what it is! Find whiskey you like, drink them how you like them, and share them with others!
Andy is a national treasure! Good dude, good video
Well said!!!
Agreed! Just loving his life with his whiskeys and got to enjoy his time with TJ. Love this.
Who cares that he puts his bourbon in his freezer, it's his liquor. The important thing is how great his garage is!! I love it!
I love bourbon and rye over ice, so if I had a freezer like that to do it, I would at least try it. But I would be nervous about them cracking.
@@noworldforericalcohol content is too high for them to freeze. Shouldn't crack.
for real! i wish i had a garage half that size haha
Agreed, awesome garage. I would love to have that setup.
I put mine in the freezer
One of your best episodes I've seen. And to quote the philosophy of another channel, "The best whiskey is the whiskey you like, the way you like to drink it." There is no right or wrong way for YOU to enjoy YOUR whiskey.
Big AMEN on that thought.
Andy is obviously a GOAT. Look at how organized everything in his garage is. Be more like Andy.
I’m guessing he works at UPS
I want him to come organize my garage.
Andy's Garage, Somewhere, IN.
That was the best. Lol
Love that bloke. what a friendly man taking tj back to he's house
That Indiana friendliness is great. What a genuine guy he was!
That's the Midwest for you.

This is the best kinda hunt. Nothing real special, but you find a local who's excited to share his with you
19:43 Can I just say how much I admire this guy. Not only is he organized in the fridge but damn, he organized in his garage. Even the cleaning supplies are organized 😮
Love the videos that have "regular guys" in them, that is who buys 90% of bourbon/whiskey 😉👍🥃
@@thomasanderson2870 I love how he gives away all the local spots so when you get off work and go to pick up a bottle their all gone cause this guy came and made a stupid video there he's screwing over the "regular guys" who buy bourbon/whiskey dipshets

Liquor is made to be enjoyed they way you like it. If people like it cold then so be it. Do what makes you happy. Another great video.
You are so right! Jimmy Russell master distiller of wild turkey says his favorite way is to keep a bottle in the freezer and sip neat on the front porch
Elmer t Lee said his favorite way to drink bourbon is mixed with a coke
Elmer T Lee is rolling in his grave knowing that his whiskey is being sold for $1000. @badgerbill336
Agreed. i put a few bottles of Canadian lower proof stuff in the fridge, and it's nice on a hot day. no need for ice if you like it that way.
But that just like your opinion man
That dude definitely has a solid palate and knows his stuff, enjoyed watching the tasting in the shop.
Andy’s awesome. Drink it how you like it.
Hell yeah. Andy’s reaction was the best when he walked in. Proud to be a Hoosier, way to represent us Andy!
This is why TJ is so awesome. Man of the people right there!
ANDY! .....is the man. Good for him and great for Brewzle to go to this dude's place and hang. What a really cool video!
I just paid $49.99 for a Elmer T Lee today at a Buffalo Trace event here in Arizona. $1000??? That store owner is building a museum.
I picked up Elmer T Lee for $42 in NH last year. Still have half the bottle. It's barely worth it at MSRP, anyone paying hundreds for it is nuts.
This video is a gem. Lots of fun when you run into fans and spend time with them.
Andy will always remember that day! what an awesome experience!! I am sure he will have some pours and relax in that garage and think of that time! :)
This was such a genuine interaction with Andy. He just showed up to browse some bourbons after watching one of your videos, expanding his taste a bit, and boom, meets you doing a video.

Drank Stagg 23B after being in truck overnight at 15 degrees below, it was awesome!

The best part about bourbon is sharing your bottles, IMO. It's nice to own a bunch of stuff, but it's better to share it with people. It's like having a pool. A pool is nice. A pool party is far more fun.

watching your videos makes me love Idaho prices. We don't always have the biggest selections but we get all the goods at low, low prices.
Sssshhhh🤫, We won’t be able to get anything if you get everyone and their brother hunting our stores.
What a great, genuine episode. Love it.
The guys at Party Time are awesome folk. First Capital actually lowered the price on that Weller FP pick, it was $360. They are out of their minds, that's double secondary.

Hard truth is great you’d have a blast there. Make all their own stuff and have some really neat tours and a restaurant on site that’s amazing.

I see Andy is a fan of the Boot. Saw the flag on his wall. He is a good dude.
120am watchi this from Australia, good way to pass the time whist doing night shift at the uranium mine
Very cool video! I have a couple bottles of inexpensive bourbon chilling in my bar fridge for mixed drinks. Saves an ice cube or two and makes the pour a bit more palatable, in my opinion.
Drink whiskey the way you like it! Andy great collection
So true brother..if I buy it I drink it. My family was in the liquor manufacturing with Canada Dry at Camp Nelson KY on the Kentucky River. I grew up smelling sour mash.😋😋😋😋😋
In a non-climate-controlled garage like that, the fridge/freezer is probably the best place for those bottles...and if Andy's wife is anything like mine, keeping them out on the counter is a NO GO! Andy seems like a cool dude.
Andy is the best. What a nice guy.
Brother, don't always watch but always check in every once in a while. Amazing to watch you go from 4,800 subs to 662k subs. #WhiskeyWhisperer #brewzleDawg #AmericanDream #80flavors
I love your videos andI don’t understand all the hate. I’m 23 and have been enjoying your videos for a while now and I’ve been trying new whiskeys and learning a lot about what I like and don’t. Thank you sir
Watched this today and drove straight to the first store to pick up a JD sbbs rye. Very pleased they had them right in the spot it was on your visit. Thanks for a great episode. That freezer idea has me pondering my entire experience with bourbon 🥶🥃
100% on becoming a Social Drinker/Hunter. Meeting new people that you can have a positive discussion with is awesome. #bottlekill
Agree with you on the Dickel. Tastes like Flinstone Vitamins
He works hard for his money and he can spend it anyway he wants to. I like the fact he was more than willing to share everything he had.
Nothing cooler than meeting a random then going back to his shop to get hammered off tastings. Mad props tj.
Look at the legs on that 😂😂😂
Party Time outlet is a nice store to hunt around. Sucks most stores in southern Indiana are owned by the same family.
If I had room in my freezer I would totally throw a bottle of Dickel in there in solidarity with ole Andy lol. He drives a Dodge but we are brothers now lol.
The whiskey tasting portion of the video was awesome! Andy seems like a really cool dude!
Picked a bottle of Elmer T Lee in a realllllly rural town in Florida a couple of months ago and bit the bullet at 400 bux for the bottle. I had never seen one in the wild, so I figured it might be my only opportunity. The markup on these things is truly outrageous.
Awesome vid, Andy & Ben were both great!
I love putting the bottles in the freezer. It’s nice and cold and easy to drink.
$1000 for Elmer T Lee? That should be illegal.
im loving all these random tastings at the end of the videos
