alot of Scotch and Irish whiskey is aged in American bourbon barrels shipped over there. Today they also age dark beer, mainly stouts and porters in the US in these barrels.
I pass their MASSIVE warehouses pretty regularly on the Interstate here and it's super cool to see all the barrels stacked up to the ceiling
I'm from Kentucky, in the Bluegrass area where all the bourbon distilleries are located. I once went to London to take a course at King's College. I was missing home fiercely, wanted some bourbon, so asked at the pub if they had any. They had bourbon, of course, but when the barkeep was searching I saw a bottle on a top shelf, unopened, almost like decoration, tucked in with a painting and some mascot. I pointed it out and asked about it. Barkeep had no idea how rare it was. I ended up getting drunk on Pappy Van Winkle's family reserve, 20 year, which is quite costly depending on the year, for three pounds a shot. I felt like I was back in Kentucky. Poor bastard barkeep didn't know what he was serving. The bottle was from 1994, it was 2002. I had died and gone to heaven. I still wonder if that barkeep didn't get fired for making that mistake!
I went to Makers Mark a few years ago and took the tour. Pretty great stuff. At the end , people were buying up to $3-5k in bottles out of the gift shop. The Bourbon Trail distilleries make sooooo much $ for their unique liquid.
Try the Makers Mark 46. It's great.
Take the Bourbon Trail. Recommend staying in Bardstown.
I believe that old barrels are usually sold to Scotch Distilleries or other distilleries.
The used bourbon barrels are often used for aging scotch and a few other spirits.
Whenever you mention the vastness and sheer size of the U. S. I'm reminded of an old saying. Europeans think 100 miles is a long distance and Americans think 100 years is a long time .
I've never heard that before, but it's brilliant! Thank you!
@@TraciPearson-ok2tr I'm 27. My oldest Great Grandpa was born in 1895. He also served in World War One. Henry Otto Grill Private First Class United States Army 1895-1979.
Cute
Very, very, very much enjoyed this one Blokes.....it's a real process to make just one bottle....I now have to try some. Again thanks
I once took a tour of the Jack Daniels distillery in Lynchburg Tennessee. It's a really old distillery and there are several of the older historic buildings and even their original fire engines they had on site. I cant remember exactly how old they were but we are talking pre world war 1. You see all the steps they use to make it, was interesting. The weird part? You cant taste it. You are not allowed to buy or drink any Bourbon there. Lynchburg is in Moore county, which has been a dry county since prohibition. One of the most famous bourbons is made in a place where it's illegal to sell alcohol. Cracks me up.
15:06 I worked on this machine at a menu printing factory haha these are very much still in use today
Can only be called bourbon if it is at least 51% corn.
The bourbon trail goes through Louisville KY,where I'm at😊
im there too
Hi neighbor lol
@@retired4365 Lol hey fellow kentuckian
The barrels that get retired after being reused for other sprits or whatever get sold for a multitude of other non related uses and my family has been selling them for years. You have whiskey barrels and wine barrels, they look basically the same but have a few differences and generally the wine barrels are higher quality however either way they get used a lot as planters for outdoor gardens by cutting them in half and using it like a giant planter pot, the whole ones get used as tables and decoration especially at wedding events, they also get used a lot in old movies for decoration/props, they're pretty common here in Texas
Imagine how long it took them to refine their technical standards for this quality. How much time and error in each batch to get it right.
Just looked and am shocked to find out you have never reacted to any Eric Andre. It is definitely up your alley! Definitely, his older stuff.
I havent had it awhile...time to go pick up a bottle!
Love Maker’s Mark
A lot of the used bourbon barrels are repurposed by other distillers for aging Scotch, Irish Whiskey, rum, tequila, and other spirits which have no restrictions on reusing barrels.
There's a RUclips channel called bourbon country reacts that covers a country song and a different bourbon bottle that you guys might enjoy
10,000 seedlings would produce 220,000 barrels and each holds 53 gallons? So that is Just about the amount to produce 30 million bottles or so. This means they are using a forest of trees every year because if you plant 10,000 trees a year for 60 years you would use up a tremendous amount of acreage.
One of my favorite beers is a stout aged in bourbon barrels. Some whiskeys are finished in wine casks.
The bourbon barrels can be made using other types of wood, but oak is a distinctive flavor profile that is hard to beat. Especially combiemd eith its densisty and ability to absorb moisture without leaking.
Ive seen barrels made from red oak, maple, and walnut, but they are all much harder woods and more difficult to work with.
Most Bourbon barrels after used for Bourbon they are usually sold to Scotch distilleries in Scotland and Irish Whiskey distilleries in Ireland.
I once paid a lawyer with a bottle of Maker's Mark. His advice allowed me to get a $17,000 settlement. I told him it was an Ind'n thing (potable maize). He liked it.
I buy bags of wood chips from spent barrels in my smoker. They sell the barrels after use.
Imagine you're in Kentucky, but you have whiskey soaked wood that was burnt.
That sounds like barbecue equipment to me. 🤔
Love your videos. Sending love from America.❤
I'm blown away they can sell that much of it. The last bottle I bought is 5 years old and still half full.
Did you quit drinking ?
@@shawnanderson6313 No just prefer other stuff.
Very enjoyable subject matter.
Leftover whiskey barrels? Swish!! 😁Many whiskey barrels from many different makers are sold to private individuals who put a gallon or so of distilled water into them and then 'swish' it in the barrel for up to a month or so. The result is a beverage that is 20-40 proof and tastes like a weak version of the whiskey that was in the barrel. I did it once in Canada with a rye whiskey barrel, Crown Royal, I think. It made for a nice Christmas party that year, for sure! 😏
You can use the barrels for BBQ wood
I love makers mark. But makers mark 46 is where it's at. So much flavor and best bang for your buck. It's only 6 or 7 dollars more than the regular makers. Mm46cs is top notch
good tip, will go for that next time
Bourbon barrels get sold all over the world to other distillers and some wineries. Because of the size of bourbon production it's actually cheaper to ship a barrel from Kentucky to a French Brandy maker than for them to set up and maintain their own coopers. Worked at a transshipment place handling some of these barrels in the south and it would surprise you the scale and scope of this stuff.
Same for Scotch as well
Great video!
This is my family's goto show at holidays when we can't get everyone to agree on something. It's a canadian show.
I hate getting the wax off bottles like these.
The used barrels are sold to giant Saint Bernards.
Great video, keep em coming
I work for Owens Illinois and we make their bottles
Imagine taste testing moonshine. 😛
All the employees on that factory sound drunk.
I enjoy the smoothness and relatively inoffensive flavors of bourbon. I'm no "professional" whiskey snob, and generally dislike the strong varied flavors associated with interesting and often pricey limited edition spirits. Don't get me started on scotch...i can never distinguish any flavors except rotten hay left in an ashtray. Ick.
The Samuel family are distant descendants of the outlaw Jesse James.
I do believe the barrels are re-used I just forget what for.
The video explains that they are sold to distilleries n Scotland that can reuse them.
@@hrussell9677 yeah I commented a little earlier in the video.
thats a lot of effort to make poison
Some poisons are better than others. If you spend your life in zig zags trying to avoid all poisons, you'll be so occupied that you'll forget to live it.
🌽❤🥃
When the quality control guy is putting his test subject in the lunch room microwave, I lost all respect for his job lol
To be called bourbon it has to be made in Kentucky 😂❤😂Fact
Yesssss.
We thought we were so special in high school drinking Ale 8 and bourbon together -- turns out it has a name, The Kentucky Grandee. Who knew Winchester swamp water could taste so good with bourbon?
Not anymore….they changed that rule years ago.
