  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: This is from one of the oldest distilleries. In that area.

• 1:40
  Speaker 1: so one hundred and one proof or fifty point five
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: beautiful alcohol by bone. Yeah, this is cigarette. This is
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: an excellent neat, just really aromatic. Just on the nose.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: You get saltwmeyy, I know it almost kind of does it? Yeah?
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: And uh, pepper peppery great for cocktails because that proof
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: really comes through.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: And a little black liquors, But then I realize it's
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: because I just ate a piece of black nice.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Well, it is one of the characteristics, frankly. Yeah, and uh,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: but it's when you have a stronger tequila, it's gonna
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: be a bold flavor. There's no getting around it. Yeah,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: but that's the point. We're starting to see some of
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: our alcohols a little higher proof, that clean of the spirit.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: In this case, the gave of the base material really
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: comes through.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Now, tell me about the water.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: The water that they have is filtered water that they'll
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: receive and you're gonna soak. What we'll do is we'll
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: take the agave. It's the blue Weber agave that's classic
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: for tequila, and this one hundred percent of that and
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: here and they'll toast in brick ovens, toast it, dry
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: it out, chop it up, and then add to this
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: local water. So you're getting this nice minerality to it.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: And that's when you're yeah, and that's when you're warming
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: it up, and then you initiate for imitation. At that point,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: wash it off and then go into distillation.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Now you put this over some ice. I did.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Would you not normally do that? Yeah, Cuba three, you know,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: depending on your palate. I know it's uh, you know,

  Speaker 2: Now?
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: We do have Saint Patrick's Day coming, yes, or as
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: I like to refer to it, amateur hour. What what
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: suggestions do you have as far as a beverage for say, Saint.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Patrick's Sure I'm a big Guinness fan. Of course on
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: the whiskey side, I was just featuring last night at
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: a whiskey tasting bush Mills. No hold with bush Mills
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: has their Prohibition era style and it's based after Pinky
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Blinders the Shelby Corporation. So I got this fun marketing
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: tie and so I'm like, all like it is. So
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: I tasted it and I was like, wow, it's age
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: between three four and five years, most of its age
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: four year and it's got that little caramel nut thing
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: going on with it. I was pleasantly surprised. Also, we
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: featured Redbreast twelve. That's a classic Irish whiskey pot still
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: and you get that nice richness to it. And I
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: know it's Irish, this Irish that, but don't be afraid
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: to enjoy some scotch. You know, a big scotch guy.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: And we had some talliskirt tenure last night. Nice and
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: that was more. It's from the Eyelis sky. So you
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: had some of the peaty smokiness come through, and of
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: course Guinness you know it. Maybe I'll do a shout out,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: I'll be I'm having breakfast at piper Down tomorrow. A
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: pint and breakfast, you know what I mean, just to
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: celebrate St. Patty's Day, and that's that's what you got.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: It was just curious because whenever, well when we used
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: to go to the Saint Patrick's Day parade, Uh, all
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: of my fellow irishmen were passing around flasks full of Jamison.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: Yes, well you're either a Jamison or a bush Mill
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: because there's the Catholic and the Protestants.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: So yeah, which one is which?
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: I think bush Mills is Catholic? I don't know, I
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: need to look up.
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: But which which is the most Irish of whiskeys?
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Well, that's a good question. I would say Jamison. I
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: mean it's the most brand name recognized just purely out
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: of marketing.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Which one does the Pope drink? Gina?
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's how you know, because see, to me, Jamison
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: is good, but it's.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: It's just there's something about it.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just well what I what you can do
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: all Saint Petty's Day weekend has cleanse your palate with
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: this arete to Kila.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Oh, I have a list five biggest Irish whiskey.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Yes, I was gonna say.
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: Now the Irish are all upset because I brought this
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: up at all.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Myth.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: Number one, Jamison is Catholic, bush Mills is protest myth. Okay,
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: the bush Mills is located in a predominantly Protestant Northern Ireland, Ireland.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: Jamison produced in the Catholic Republic of Ireland. But no,
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: but that says this could be no further from the truth.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Sounds true to me.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: If you're paking here, you're making your whiskey in the
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: Protestant sector, you're Prodestan.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: The master distiller for bush Mills is Catholic. The master
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: distillers and founder, the eponymous founder of Jamison, John Jamison,
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: was Protestant.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: All right, then that settles it, doesn't it.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Scotch is better than Irish whiskey.
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: This is a Jimmy right here, Jimmy, this is this
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: is obviously it was better.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: This is obvious put together by an irishman.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Number three, Irish whisky is only good for shots. You
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: would probably say, yeah, no, no, it's also good for bathing,
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: and all Irish whiskies taste the same.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, that's a good list. That's a
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: good list.
• 8:25
