The giving of gift at the end..that was nice
midnightsxtc thanks and this is my tradition. Giving a bottle from the last place I learned from and giving to next place I’m learning. Only thing is that my luggage is starting to get heavier. 😀. -Jeff
Very humble
@@drinkdestinations i think its an awesome tradition, very respectful and friendly. Need more people in the world like this
Infinite||AES` thanks so much for the comment and I’m grateful that these breweries, distilleries, wineries give up the time for me to learn and tell their story. It’s the least I could do. I appreciate the comment. -Jeff
@@drinkdestinations Did you get a gift from them as well?
Thanks so much for everyone’s comments and support for what I’m doing. I’m extremely grateful. More episodes coming on Valuetainment. Cheers, -Jeff
Cool name btw my dads name.
Cheers
It's walking on the grain with shoes that gives it the flavours.
I knew I tasted a small hint of bubblegum and dog shit.
Especially if he stepped on a fresh dog turd outside before hand
Fender Blues ....in France they walk on it in bare feet for flavor.
It truly gives it that local flavor. You get hints of the local grasses and moss and soil.
Did you try their whiskies?
A lot of hard work goes into making good whiskey, lots of respect for these guys
Turns out its actually Whisky, not Whiskey. Comes from a regional translation difference between Scottish and Irish Gaelics, and in the late 1800s Scottish Whisky was poorer quality than Irish Whiskey so they used the e to differentiate them. Then, the irish had a mass exodus to the USA cuz of the potato famine, so now Whiskey is USA and Ireland sourced, Whisky is everywhere else and traditionally Scotland
i wonder if you could make the process with shovels and wheelbarrows easier when there is a fucking hole in the ground....
An incredible place. I was there twice. For me it is the best distillery in Scotland and they make the finest whisky.
Can you imagine what it was like getting started? Imagine doing that every day for at least 3yrs before you could sell your 1st bottle? ... Now that's a SPIRITED commitment:-)
My Plate My Life I just filmed Spreewood distillers, the first Germany Rye Whiskey distillery and they were going through that. A lot of money sitting in barrels and taking up floor space. Thanks for the comment. -Jeff
Thanks for sharing this with me! A distillery that comes to mind you may want to talk to is the Barton distillery. The reason I bring them up is that about a month ago, their warehouse collapsed under the weight of all their barrels. This article reflects when half the warehouse collapsed. About a week or so later the rest of it collapsed. It may be a good learning opportunity to see how a company bounces back from a loss of that size. www.bizjournals.com/louisville/news/2018/06/22/bourbon-warehouse-collapses-in-bardstown.html
My Plate My Life thanks for the info. I read about that and can only imagine the aftermath that organisation is dealing with now. Unfortunately. I’m sure some engineers are now inspecting the rest of the infrastructures across KY bourbon distilleries. Thanks again for your reply and conversation. I’m grateful, especially just starting out. -Jeff
Check out the Bimber Distillery from London. They released their first single malt last year. In three years, before they released the first single malt, they released many different spirits. Some of them received prize for its quality. This is hiw they managed the first three years. They do pretty well financially!
Can you imagine what it means to have a Bottle of Thirty years old? :) slàinte mhath! ;)
Keeping hearts and minds happy and livers working on a grand scale. I enjoyed this!!
What kind of pills are these
thanks for this great Video. in 2015 my wife an i joined the whisky School at Springbank. wonderful to see the guys well again.we have learned a lot about the making of whisky. but more important, we met very kind poeple. a great time that we always like to remember.
Because of this video grabbed a bottle of the springbank 15 year and it is beyond amazing. I have thoroughly enjoyed. This video gives me a whole new appreciation.
Best whiskey I've ever had! Was gifted a cask strength bottle years ago and fell in love
Awesome video. Really interesting to see the whole process from start to finish. And big thumbs up for doing it at Springbank, as it's a "proper" distillery. 👍🥃
Keith Woodhall thanks for the comment brotha. I was fascinated with Springbank from the start. Lucky for me they are also humble and always looking for an extra hand to help out. Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers, -Jeff
I'm not a Whiskey man myself but my brother in law is and I think I'll be gettin him a bottle of this fine spirit! Cheers and Much Love from Florida, U.S.A.
Thanks for the captions. I could barely understand anything the American bloke was saying.
have you seen Jesus?
@Jonathan McGuire Irony when you call a Scottish person a 'red coat'.
Well said old boy..
Hahaha
Ngl I needed captions for the American guy. Accent is so weird.
Not only did you publicize their product but you expressed your appreciation for them showing you around
A win-win all round. Thanks for the video
The production values of this segment, the beginning. So Unbelievably good I was checking if it's really Valuetainment. Patrick and team are going all in! Loved it 👏👌
Vamsi Allavarapu I think I would have had an easier time interviewing for the food network. Valuetainment sets the standard and glad to be part of this amazing team. Value+Entertainment=Valuetainment. Thanks for the comment and it was My videographers favourite comment. 😀😀👍🏻
Beer, Wine and Spirits You did a great job. 👏 Interview narration and videography. I wish all the best to your future endeavors
Vamsi Allavarapu cheers and thanks, it means a lot. -Jeff
Whisky is a art...good video
My First video of the morning!! Thanks, guys and Merry Christmas !!
Rahul Dobhal thanks so much for the comment and glad you enjoyed it. If you like videos like this go check out more of my travels around the globe learning and telling stories of brewers, winemakers, distillers. And oh talk PBD into putting my episodes on Valuetainment and expanding the channel for 2019🤘🏻👊🏻👊🏻-Jeff
Great Video. Kudos to Springbank for allowing you to film the process.
Etienne Julius thanks and I as honored to be able to tell their story. I am just starting off and they trusted me. One of the highlights of my journey of beer, wine, and spirits.
Amazing to see some content on this channel from my home country, been a subscriber for a long time now!
Gerard Brown and a lot more in the future from beer, wine, and spirits. Have a few friends we still need to visit, tell their story and of course make some amazing whisky 🥃.
What an amazing video, very well made and presented. Springbank and campbelltown are on my to visit list this year. Slainte 🥃
My father hailed from Campbeltown an we used to spend many of our holidays visiting family there when I was much younger, he was also partial to a dram of Springbank.
Ian Docherty such a great area and a lot of history. It was once known as the whisky capital of the world in Campbeltown. -Jeff
Never had an ounce of alcohol in the past, and I don't plan to in the future. But this is an art. No other way to describe it.
Check out how mezcal is made... 🤣🤯🤯🤯. That will blow you away.
I’m not a regular drinker. But I love Scottish whisky. Good quality, fruit and spice is my favourite. No ice no water, just straight as it is.
Drinking whiskey while I watch this...Thanks Pat for this epic content 💯💯💯💯
Swig & Smoke BBQ what are you partaking in? Thanks so much for the feedback. The only way to watch the episode a dram and piece of mind. Cheers -Jeff
Beer, Wine and Spirits Crown :)
Swig & Smoke BBQ nicceeeeee👍🏻👍🏻
Very interesting video and quality filming. I’d love to take a tour of this place myself when I go to Scotland 🏴 one of these days.
Sunny dime thanks so much. Can’t thank you enough for your feedback. -Jeff
Come on over. Why wait?
Classy touch at the end with the gift of the bottle 👌
Great video, our Butler School is right in the centre of Scottish whisky country and we always enjoy our distillery visits!
Awesome video tour!!
Looks like a cool experience
Chris Mccullough awesome experience brotha. I’m glad to share it with the amazing Valuetainment family. Cheers. -Jeff
Fantastic video! Great story. I have been to 32 distilleries in Scotland. I loved Campbeltown and the distilleries there. See Linda McCartney’s garden and town hall exhibits in this town. The harbor was nice too!
Great video! It was a real gem to see the handover bottle to be from South Africa!
Been there, 7-8 years back. I used to live in Scotland till 2014, due to family reason I moved to Virginia, as my wife & her family is American. There are around 100 Distilleries, I have Toured around 45 of them. Scotland is beautiful & very nice to live.
bbalila wow, incredible. I need you as the host of our tour around Scotland and I can tag along and drink dram’s with ya. What do you think? Sounds like a plan. Cheers and hope Virginia is treating you well. -Jeff
Beer, Wine and Spirits will you be in Ireland doing whiskey/beer tours?
Beer, Wine and Spirits Beer, Wine and Spirits, Thanks Sure jeff, I now do travel, Photography & Drone, Travel is my passion. Would be glad to do any project with you & around any where in world.
Mark J not at the present moment, but have made some great connections with Tullamore DEW and Pearse Lyons. Would like to sooner than later. -Jeff
bbalila let stay in touch. -Jeff
Really enjoyed this video, well done. Thanks
Classy touch bringing a bottle as a token of appreciation.
Fisklina thanks, it is my tradition as I’m grateful for Springbank an either giving me there time to teach me. It’s the least I could do. -Jeff
Thanks for so good Information. Real ,so good.
The gift giving at the end really made this for me. Some acts are timeless
Great video. This video inspire me to drink a wonderful whisky. I love to drink whiskey.
Man there's some effort going into this whiskey, kudos
What kind of pills are these
I know this comment was a joke but for the people freaking out about sanitation here’s the rub. They use magnets and filters to remove metals and rocks. Then after fermentation it’s cooked and distilled. Distillation means boiling the shit out of something until it vaporizes, you catch the vapor, chill it back into liquid form and concentrate it. They do this step 2 more times…..please if I missed something fill in the blanks.
better understanded with excellent video and explanation Thanks
anup varku thanks so much for your comment and more videos coming soon. -Jeff
Captivated by place
Sagar Rathore our journey will do this. Just wait until you see what we got coming. -Jeff
I just love this accent !
Really enjoyed this.
Austin Walters thanks and means a lot. We are in Belgium now and off to Switzerland as we speak. The stories are going to be amazing. Cheers - Jeff
Great video! Keep doing what you’re doing brotha!!
Jeff Kelly thanks so much for the comment. Didn’t know how the Valuetainment community would react. It’s been amazing. Cheers and thanks for your support. -Jeff
Got a subscribe and a like because of the thoughtful gift at the end. Classy way to end the segment.
I am a whiskey fan and collector, especially whiskey from America, England and Scotch ones. Great video clip.
Us Scottish call it Whisky.Whiskey is Irish and American.
Wow this was a lovely video and what an art it is to make Whisky, not forgetting how lovely it is to drink "Hurrah!" for a single malt and the Ladies and Gentlemen who make it!
DVD Mulenga thanks for taking time to comment and glad you enjoyed the episode. I learned so much and glad to share it with everyone. -Jeff
I learned deep explaination !!!!
I watch every little details
Seems like i watched A Movie
What a great time for Learning 😊🤘
Thank you Gentlemens
thanks , well done!
I love Springbank.
Being there feels heavenly.
I love Springbank. NO CHILL FILTRATION thankfully. Also no overinflated marketing. Its all about the content. Quality is the marketing.
this was fascinating. now i know why some of it can be very expensive!
Simply beautiful
Been drinking whisky since I was 9 yo in Tayside - family involved with Sir John Dewar's - but really never knew the whole process - thanks and slainte mhath.
Good to see some Scottish content, as I am Scottish.
Callum Brennan gotcha covered. Plan is to head back sooner than later and hit some of the islands and catch a few rugby games. Cheers -Jeff
I’d recommend a football game over a rugby game any day. Celtic Park is the place to visit.
With a name like Callum Brennan I would be shocked if you weren't Scottish haha
I hope you're ok with my having read your comment in a heavy Scottish accent, which then spurred me to think of the Demoman from TF2. Whoops.
@@drinkdestinations Cover the island of Islay, there are seven distilleries on the southern end of the island.
Great video. I’ve subscribed to the channel to see more of like content.
BTW...I’m amazed at how many posters are complaining about workers walking on the grain. I’ve watched many videos of distilleries like Laphroaig and Bruichladdich that also maintain similar floor maltings and I’ve never once seen a negative comment about hygiene. People who know about distilleries know that the mash is cooked at a very high temperature and that the distillate is converted into steam before it condensed into the final product, with a >70% alcohol content , which in itself, kills germs and bacteria. I guess people in this day and age just need to be outraged about something.
I’m also amazed by how many posters suggested automating a beautifully traditional manual process. I very much appreciate the craftsmanship of traditional distilleries, breweries, bakeries, wineries, salumeria, cheese makers, etc.. I also respect civic-minded companies like Springbank that maintains labor intensive methods so as to preserve jobs in an isolated rural community like Campbeltown.
Keep up the good work!
EDIT: Bowmore has floor maltings, not Bruichladdich.
The Distilleries with malting floors on Islay are: Laphroaig, Bowmore and Kilchoman.
Bruichladdich doesn't have yet a malting floor but they are planning to do it because they want to be more local. Can't wait to go to visit Springbank next year!
Gianluca Pagnoni I appreciate the correction...I toured five distilleries in two days on Islay and got confused, but my point is still valid....walking on the barley isn’t going to affect the process at all. I’m also jealous of your upcoming visit to Springbank, so you can observe the entire distillation process at one site! I hope that they’ll be working on Longrow when you’re there.
I was blown away when I learned on my recent visit to Italy that peated whisky is so popular that it’s widely available, at least at the bars and restaurants in Tuscany that I visited.
Are you planning to visit Glengyle and Glen Scotia while you’re in Campbeltown?
Thanks for the education. I wasn't criticising it, but I did wonder. You learn something new every day.
This is true craft!
Great Video!
Loved this. Please continue to make these videos. Love learning how to do stuff. Where do I get the grain that they're using?
Donna Spear thanks so much. We will be putting more videos like this on Valuetainment and truly honored to be part of the team. While completely off topic of entrepreneurship, I think my videos add value and are entertaining. I’m completely Biased though. 😀😀, oh btw, The grain they use is from Scotland. Thanks -Jeff
Thanks for the subtitles. Fookin hell!!!
kieran Hahahaha, it’s my humor. Made sure to keep it real. Glad to finally see comments about it. 😀😀-Jeff
Valutainment produces tremendous videos
At Springbank the workers look like athlets from shovelling the Barley. In other distilleries they look like office clerks from pushing computer buttons. I was there several times and this is an ancient place of making whisky. They really use their maltfloors. In other distilleries these floors are only for the visitors and the malt is delivered in big tank trucks from maltings like Port Ellen maltings. Last time, when I was there with the guys from Cadenheads Cologne, the credo was: "Look around yourselves. You know where everything is."
chico11mbit Hahahaha fact. Most of this guys can run circles around people half there age. Respect to Springbank. I was grateful they let me come work and show the process of how traditional whisky is made. Thanks for your comment. -Jeff
Great video, the constant shovelling must play havoc with there back.
Loved it do more episodes about different companies.
Aashi Mohamed got you covered. Traveling the world to give you Value and Entertainment in beer, wine, and spirits. This is what I pitched to Valuetainment. The loved it and now showing my episodes. 😀😀😀👍🏻👍🏻.
Waiting for more 😉
At this moment I'm drinking Scottish leader whisky original love it ❣️
It Isa great video, liked it
I really liked this video very good summary of the process. Dude practice your peat shovelling!😂 thank you.
I went to a winery in south Africa called Groot Constantia once. I did see whiskey there, maybe if I go back I'll look for it.
Thank you for uplod 🙏♥️
Respect, I'm currently working a 12hr 1 man nightshift making malt 👌
Tim Taylor I’ve got wot of respect for you brotha. Back breaking work. -Jeff
Unbelievable amount of work to make a quality whiskey.
Certainly they could automatize some of the processes, but I am sure they are very proud of making it handmade as much as possible.
Yeah they have around 60 employees because they do everything on site and the old fashioned way. If they outsourced tasks like maintenance, bottling, malting etc. and automated the distillery they would have around 8-10 employees like most other distilleries.
All the shovelling made my old back twitch in sympathy, I'm sure an industrial vaccum similar to those used for mulch spreading would be an amazing addition to the process
Springbank is one of the last distilleries that handles everything on site and in a traditional manner.
Step Up My Body You’re right, but Springbank is a very civic-minded and socially responsible company. They look for ways to employ local people instead of automating every conceivable process to take jobs away from people. I wish more companies thought this way.
Dream job 😍
Orion04 Ace I agree, this Jeff guy now has to figure out how to monetise this into multiple businesses. -Jeff
Nah, the shoveling require hard work. Dream job is a job that easy and give u tons of money.
Nice video would love to help them out a couple days to see the whole process in reall. can be very interesting. Greets from Holland
Roy Dekker thanks for the comment and they do run a school and have you go through the process. Warning, it’s a lot of work. Cheers, -Jeff
goodluck for you man..
shake hands from Indonesia sir 🙏❤🇮🇩
sampurasun🙏
Nice I would like to visit there if I got the chance
Wow! Is that really how they do it everyday? Manual shoveling and spreading? Props to them.. Old school.
Years and years of training and this has just simplified all that amazing stuff. Oh and you totally butchered Groot Constantia 😂😂😂
Thank you for sharing this video ❤️ one LIKE from INDIA
スプリングバンク最高。The best whisky.
BAR PEGASUS 💯💯💯💯
What's the intro song? I heard it before and must find it, please!
Cool channel! I caught you on the Still It podcast 😊
ha - ive just moved here. will have to check out the wiskey and have a wee dram
Urban FPV awesome, nothing better than a wee dram. Cheers, -Jeff
love it
Very educative. And very good work for a crossfit WOD, even the host is fit and looks a bit like Dave Castro, Hehehe ! Thanks for sharing !
brainfornothing glad you enjoyed it. I don’t know to hi five you or take offence to looking like Dave, but you made my day with your comment. Cheers -Jeff
Offence why ? Sorry if that is the case, was not my intention, obviously
brainfornothing No, no I was kidding also. Again thanks for the comment and trying to keep in shape and drink beer, wine, and spirits is a challenge. Cheers-Jeff
Hehehe ! OK, OK, I'm always joking, but some people have no sense of humor and internet messaging is very limited, even with "emojis". I stopped drinking alcohol 20 years ago, Too many beers ! But you can do it for me, Hehehe ! Cheers !
Interesting!!
Loving the 3F shirt! Lambics don't have a huge showing in Scotland
I'll have to buy this whiskey
The best of the best..love Springbank! Cheers from Italy.
It’s the old way, they used to do it. Very nice stuff, slainthe.
W P thanks brotha and couldn’t of said it any better. Tradition!! -Jeff
awesome vid
Peter De Villiers thanks so much. Now we just need to keep bugging Valuetainment about putting beer, wine, spirits on the Valuetainment channel. If you like this one, I think you will enjoy our Absinthe video along with how wine is made in South Africa. Cheers and thanks for the support. -Jeff
thats one big whiskey factory ..
very nice .😎
zizoboy heaven 💯👍🏻💯👍🏻
Amqzing proces
That's a very involved process
nice to see the work and effort that goes into getting people drunk
JewTube love the comment........and if we could all turn water into wine 🍷. Cheers, -Jeff
Well it depends on the drink. If this is a top shelf whiskey, most of the people who'd spend their money on it will genuinely appreciate it.
Cool as all hell
Jacob Mo-Middilly-Morin thanks so much brotha. I was always curious on how beer, wine, and spirits are made and who makes them. This was such an amazing experience and glad I can share it. -Jeff
Try their Longrow, it will change your life!
Great Scotch is the best gift
James Holcombe 💯💯💯 agree
Groot Constantia the oldest South African vineyard. Proud moment as a South African when I saw that
