    Should place it front and center on whatever shelf/cabinet has the most expensive whisky in the vault. Then give it to whoever is adamantly pandering for a taste of the expensive stuff.

    Found you guys a few months ago and have watched every episode. I had quiet an extensive collection before finding you but it has increased even larger. Thanks for that. You hear the sarcasm. LOL. My new favorites these days are Angels Envy Rye, High West American Prairie and Redbreast 12. Sorry Daniel, I just don't like Scotch. Even Monkey shoulder. I really like how you guys have dry week, you are unpretentious and just appreciate whiskey and life. It is very refreshing to see these days. I have a great idea for dry week. My boys (7 and 10) and I have been doing Root Beer tasting. We do it in the style of Daniel and Rex. We look at the amount of foam, we smell and then taste. We then give our opinions and have fun and laugh while doing it. It's been fun doing with them and believe or not there are a lot of subtle nuances we taste. Keep up the good work.

    Right, I tried something similar. In sweden we have a long tradition of drinking distilled spirits as well. But instead of aging in oak barrels, people added spices and created Akvavit. The name comes from Aqua vitae, latin for water of life.
    But anyway, someone tried to market alcohol-free Akvavit. It was just spice flavoured water.

    • @Quintinohthree
      @Quintinohthree 4 года назад

      A large part of the flavor of whiskey is given by volatile organics, which co-distill. You'd have to fractionally distill and take out the ethanol fraction, but there is a good chance you'll destroy the flavor with the heat. Vacuum distilling would be ideal to keep temperatutes down.

And even some that aren't, there's one called Hopes End that is insanely good.

    I use Arkay products at my job. I’m a barmaid at a full nude strip club and alcoholic beverages are prohibited, so we use these for those that like the taste.

  • @Kuemmel234

    About Non-alcoholic beers: I've tried about a dozen different offerings (most of them German). As far as non-alcohlic beers go, Clausthaler alkoholfrei and Krombacher alkoholfrei are ok and probably available outside Germany. The industry is currently trying to convince us Germans that alcohol free wheat beer is an isotonic beverage, to be had after climbing, cycling or even football. So most breweries offer a non-alcoholic variant. However, I'd personally go for Kehrwieder - that stuff is amazing and the 'überNormalNull' (something like 'above altitude'? Probably completely off) is the best alcohol free beer I've ever had and one the few that are, in my mind, better than cheap alcoholic beers from other brands. Don't know if it is available.

    That would actually be a great product to try to make. If you used peated malt and maybe a bit of honey and orange peel and ginger with a touch of maybe allspice and black pepper. Then soak that with some charred oak cubes you should have a nice little whiskey or whiskey sour type drink. the ginger makes it burn your sinuses, the pepper makes it numb your tongue, the allspice gives it a depth of scent. the honey and orange give it body and the peat makes it tastes "scotchy" I'm thinking like non-alcoholic Laphroaig. You won't notice the alcohol missing if you're getting gang-banged by peat smoke. Also the genius part is that it never had alcohol to begin with- so it's not "non-alcoholic whiskey" it's just a beverage that happens to taste like whiskey and you can give it away, ship it anywhere, sell it to kids....

    After the Flood, God saw Noah acting pretty foolish as a result of a few too many skins of new wine, and so he spent a few years developing a really great non-alcoholic beverage. This divinely inspired drink is called in the Hebrew מים, and it restores spent strength, gives life to the dying, and has nothing in it that tastes like the burn after you throw up. This elixir of life, this heavenly boon to those suffering during dry week, is in English called "water".
    It's good stuff.
