About 25 years ago I drank too much gin and since then I can't even stand the smell. James makes everything sound so interesting that I'm now subscribed to this channel and look forward to his next video.
Miss Lucy Brown- If you see this comment please leave in any future interactions with the Gents. As viewers and fans we love any interaction they can have. It could literally be discussing spanners and dust lint, and it's beyond enteraining. It's terribly comforting and reassuring to get hints that James, Richard, and Jeremy are indeed mates outside of filming, and that the last 23 years hasn't been a facade.
The Grand Tour may be over, but I am so happy James still has a RUclips channel where he posts vidoes. Richard Hammond calling was a nice treat as well.
@@Corkoth55 At the end of the final Grand Tour, James jokes about deleting Richard's and Jeremy's numbers from his phone. Later, you can see him doing so as they drive away.
Name Ideas... 1) There's not Mushroom - For Vegans 2) A Morel Dilemma 3) Chest-a-bit-Nutty 4) A Spores Car for Flavour 5) This Guin isn't Stroganoff (strong enough) 6) All Morels, no Shiitaake Many other flavours of pun are available. Speaking of which, as Hammond called, I hear Buttons of the fungal variety are a favourite!
"Morel Dilemma" is excellent work, sir. It's a solid pun, it doesn't pander to the vegan nature of the gin but it does allude to it, and it aligns with the other gin names in James' range. Well done!
Almost all distilled alcohol is vegan. Some add things that make it not vegan. Some fermented alcoholic drinks use animal products in the fermentation proces, so those aren't vegan.
Fascinating to see this process! And I just received my James Gin OO-scale tank car from Rails of Sheffield. It’s going on a display shelf so I can keep an eye on it. 😄
James May is one of the most intelligent and creative people on the TV. His capacity to both entertain and distill knowledge is only surpassed by the fact his is sexy.
Yes! Exciting! Got my American Mustard and Asian Parsnip. Also the cameo from Hammond made my night. It warms me to see them doing basic "friend" things
Whats not vegan in a normal Gin ? (Industrial Ethanol mixed with parts of Plants and redistilled, often diluted with Water and Bottled) Somehow i dont get the „non vegan“ Point of it😅 Could somebody explain it to me please?😅
Man, now that phone call makes me want to see Richard Hammond have a RUclips channel, so I can go over to his and see what he was asking about paint for :D
I would be able to create a network of these fogies on RUclips... Where we have updates from cool people who don't know how to use RUclips. @JamesMayDrinks do you mind passing this on to Richard?
He's moderately active on the Drivetribe channel (he does, as far as I've understood, own it by himself now, after all), so you can catch him there. I don't watch it much, since it's too much of a purely for petrolheads type of channel now (which makes sense), and I'm not really interested in cars, I'm just interested in whatever Jeremy, James and Richard are doing, on their own, or together. Jeremy is the only one among the trio who, as far I know, doesn't have a RUclips channel, much to my dismay (although James is my favourite, so I am happy he still posts videos)...
I gave up the drink, at least for a long while. I still like to tune in and listen to Captain Gin explain the intricacies! I bought the Asian Parsnip for my Dad for xmas. I think he liked it!!
I ordered up a bottle earlier today, not knowing what the new variety was (all hush-hush). Since all the other varieties have been quite good, I felt I could trust James on this one.
This is hugely fascinating. I love thinking about flavor and fragrance compositions as that's what this is, essentially. I mean, I do currently have probably 30 fragrances and samples on my desk...
Interesting to watch and it must be a Lucy Brown production as it Beautifuly Shot and Edited .... Very Nice Idea James ... Lion's Mane Mushroom From Clarcksons Farm ? peace
Just ordered this and another bottle of Asian Parsnip last night. I have high hopes. The Asian Parsnip is the best tasting gin in the business. Makes a delicious g&t.
James, You could call it Spores of Fire Gin, Dragon Spore Gin, Sporechouli Gin, or even Shroom Gin... Extremely awesome and cool idea to make a Vegan Gin, I wouldn't have thought of using mushrooms either. I have never tried Gin in my Life, Hennessy Cognac is My Weakness. I do collect Liquors Wines and Spirits, so I do have some different kinds of Gins.... Love You, Your Content and Channel ..🍸🍸🥃 🥃😁👍🏻👏🏻💜💜💜
James's faux speaking under his breath when giving the secret ingredients amounts sounds unintentionally like a rather accurate Jimmy Saville impersonation.
Ordered my bottle from the wonderful people at Wildflower Gin this morning. I just have two questions: did Hammond go with acrylic paint, and did Lucy try it?
lol, James is right. Asking people to like and subscribe is bizarre and I don't know why that trend started. If people like the content and want more of it they will do it without having to be asked. Asking makes it seem like the person isn't confident in their content and needs charity.
I'm not interested in Gin let alone alcohol in general. But if something has Clarkson, Hammond or May in it. I wouldn't give a dam even if its about Chess, Math, Quantum Physics, Poetry, Golf, Cricket, soccer/Football or the history of Bricks
James is right, if we like it we know what to do. I don't get the things either. Just say something like "thanks for watching and have a nice drink" or something.
You can now buy the mystery bottle. If you're brave enough. jamesmaysgin.com/Mystery-YT
Please James, bring your gin to Brazil
What isn't vegan about Asian Parsnip gin?
Honeysuckle and black pepper!
Don't worry about it James, it's interesting ta see
Cannot be shipped to my address 😢
James was the first to arrive and as you can see he’s done this properly
Unlike James, mine is white.
I'm not even interested in Gin, never drank it, but when James talk about something it suddenly becomes interesting
About 25 years ago I drank too much gin and since then I can't even stand the smell. James makes everything sound so interesting that I'm now subscribed to this channel and look forward to his next video.
It's delish
They edited out the conversation with Hammond, but what we really want more than anything are the boys having conversations with one another.
yep

Cheers From California 😎
Proof he didn’t delete the other’s numbers after the GT finale.
Should name it VE-GIN
Should definitely name it VE-GIN
Came here to say that
Absolutely!
I would add an -ah at the end, the sound you do after you drink, refreshing!
Vee-gan sausage roll
The Grand Tour may be over, but I am so happy James still has a RUclips channel where he posts vidoes. Richard Hammond calling was a nice treat as well.
Clearly numbers were not deleted after the last grand tour. We’ve been had!!!
What do you mean by this? Sorry I'm hopeless. 😂
@@Corkoth55 At the end of the final Grand Tour, James jokes about deleting Richard's and Jeremy's numbers from his phone. Later, you can see him doing so as they drive away.
With this being James May, it'll be a gin flavoured like a rusty motorcycle or a perfectly organised set of spanners.
Shed flavour?
Richard hammond calling him was so adorable
And pulling a Hammond on him as well......
I thought James deleted his number? 😂
"I'm filming" "Oh, So am I" "No, the cameras are actually running" Perfect conversation between the two of them.
Captain Sloe Gin when???? C’mon James, we need it.
Name Ideas...
1) There's not Mushroom - For Vegans
2) A Morel Dilemma

I can sit and watch James talking about anything and slowly getting tipsy for hours.
LOL. Hammond calling was the best:
"I'm filming."
"So am I."
What a flex 😂
The thing with mushrooms, as the late, great Terry Pratchett set out, is that all of them are edible. Some of them only once.
What isn't vegan about Asian Parsnip gin?
It has no mushroom.
@@archonix you've given an irrelevant answer
Almost all distilled alcohol is vegan. Some add things that make it not vegan. Some fermented alcoholic drinks use animal products in the fermentation proces, so those aren't vegan.
@@TheRivieraKid not even it seems. Hugh's distillery's website says the only animal product they use is leather, so not in the gin making process.
@@miniropYes so either his normal gin is non vegan and has been sold to vegans, or it is vegan and this new gin is pointless.
Haven't had a thimble full of alcohol since 1976, but just James dealing with the science and mechanics of things makes them of interest.
Fascinating to see this process! And I just received my James Gin OO-scale tank car from Rails of Sheffield. It’s going on a display shelf so I can keep an eye on it. 😄
Lovely to see you James!

Man does look good, doesn't he. Gorpcore king.
Watching this video while partaking in another kind of casual mood enhancer. Somewhere around the 6:15 mark really was a whole kind of moment.
If you don't call it "Peace Fungus" I'd be disappointed
Love it!
Yes! Exciting! Got my American Mustard and Asian Parsnip. Also the cameo from Hammond made my night. It warms me to see them doing basic "friend" things
Hammond and May. My favorite frenemies. They are like brothers! Plus this flavor tasting is great watching!
“This gin tastes like a purple-striped sweater”
James was the first Vegan Gin Producer and as you can see he has done this properly
'Captain Slow Gin Fizz' - James May Gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, and club soda
I'll keep watching you forever, James May. You have given me happiness. More joy than I can express in words.
Compassion Without Compremise is a good name for the new one, Cpt. Awesome🤔
Whats not vegan in a normal Gin ? (Industrial Ethanol mixed with parts of Plants and redistilled, often diluted with Water and Bottled)
Somehow i dont get the „non vegan“ Point of it😅
Could somebody explain it to me please?😅
His gin is already vegan, this is just an excuse to flog another product.
Man, now that phone call makes me want to see Richard Hammond have a RUclips channel, so I can go over to his and see what he was asking about paint for :D
I would be able to create a network of these fogies on RUclips...
Where we have updates from cool people who don't know how to use RUclips.
@JamesMayDrinks do you mind passing this on to Richard?
it's not the same type of channel but I think drivetribe is the closest you'll get to that right now
He's moderately active on the Drivetribe channel (he does, as far as I've understood, own it by himself now, after all), so you can catch him there.

@Rokudaimedono if you havent already then i would recommend watching clarksons farm. Its a brilliant show and nothing to do with cars.
@@Theskiescreator Yeah, I've watched every season of it. Great show! Hoping for more in the future! 🙂
Yes, I'm still watching, and it is quite interesting to see how the thought process and tasting goes until you have the final product that we get
Isn’t gin vegan to start with?
Yes it is. Almost all gins are vegan.
This whole video is just bloody brilliant. Very curious about the taste, thanks so much, James!
I gave up the drink, at least for a long while. I still like to tune in and listen to Captain Gin explain the intricacies! I bought the Asian Parsnip for my Dad for xmas. I think he liked it!!
I don't drink, but this is fascinating stuff. Let's be honest though, we are all just here for James May.
I ordered up a bottle earlier today, not knowing what the new variety was (all hush-hush). Since all the other varieties have been quite good, I felt I could trust James on this one.
This is hugely fascinating. I love thinking about flavor and fragrance compositions as that's what this is, essentially. I mean, I do currently have probably 30 fragrances and samples on my desk...
Yes James
Watched this while I was drawing, it was very relaxing :] I really like James's voice
Interesting to watch and it must be a Lucy Brown production as it Beautifuly Shot and Edited .... Very Nice Idea James ... Lion's Mane Mushroom From Clarcksons Farm ?
peace
Mr May, I been watchin you get blitzed and trying alcohols since you were in France with Oz, still enjoying it!
You have my herbivorous approval. Good man James.
"I hope you're all still watching" Sir I think at this point we would watch you watch paint dry in complete silence and we'd still be hooked in.
Just ordered this and another bottle of Asian Parsnip last night.
I have high hopes.
The Asian Parsnip is the best tasting gin in the business. Makes a delicious g&t.
Most important news in the last 24 hours
💯
Precisely.
Anything to stop thinking about the garbage people
This is so much fun AND insightful
Hugh playing with mushrooms definitely now qualifies him to be a wizard.
Looking forward to sampling mine when it arrives!
What is it like to watch? It's fascinating!
I just ordered the mystery bottle. Looking forward to it!
James, not that you really care but I love watching it.
Vegan Gin = GAIN VEG...... Gin
REALLY looking forward to this! AP is the best I've ever tried.
Having a good time🥰
Thanks for the fun guys.
You had me at morel mushrooms. Just bought! but I'm in the states so I assume delivery will be a little bit.
Bring back shipping to Michigan. The motor city needs more of your gin!
Save us James...
Hope to try some eventually in Canada
Chestnut drink, they've been doing that in south east Asia and i've been very curious to try it
If only we could buy any of these in Pennsylvania
I knew an arborist from Penn. He was mean cynical and had extreme trust issues was massively homophonic and looked like George Clooney.
I'm also in Pennsylvania and would also love to try James Gin.
I am in Montana, ordered a bottle of James Gin online from somewhere in the US. No problems.
@@chip9177 Ordering alcohol online from any site other than the State store is illegal I'm pretty sure. We have really weird liquor laws.
@chip9177 once again Montana to the rescue!
"That's the thing with mushrooms, they're a peace fungus, aren't they..."
What a quote!

I want mushroom gin! (What gins are not vegan though?).
I'm now thinking about Cheeseburger gin 🤣
Just ordered a bottle, can’t wait!
James looks like a prisoner with that orange shirt in the thumbnail😂
Great video James!
We love James
I have zero clue about this stuff, but to me Hugh sure seems talented and good at what he does. 🙂
James's faux speaking under his breath when giving the secret ingredients amounts sounds unintentionally like a rather accurate Jimmy Saville impersonation.
Love you James.
Need Hammond and May playing drinking games/ building lego again!!
very nice video, very nice to see the process of creating a gin
“Yes …that’s getting nice and mushroomy….” I would think so after that many shots of gin🤔😀😀 love the naval strength original by the way👍🏼👍🏼
Ordered my bottle from the wonderful people at Wildflower Gin this morning. I just have two questions: did Hammond go with acrylic paint, and did Lucy try it?
You should never edit out a call from Richard Hammond! I love that you're such good mates.
lol, James is right. Asking people to like and subscribe is bizarre and I don't know why that trend started. If people like the content and want more of it they will do it without having to be asked. Asking makes it seem like the person isn't confident in their content and needs charity.
Did you help Hammond with his paint?
Show of hands? Who checked their phone when James' rang?
It's a whole sunday lunch that drink
What about a hint if mint for freshness to counter earthiness?
I'm not interested in Gin let alone alcohol in general. But if something has Clarkson, Hammond or May in it. I wouldn't give a dam even if its about Chess, Math, Quantum Physics, Poetry, Golf, Cricket, soccer/Football or the history of Bricks
My only experience with mixing extract of boiled 'shrooms with a liquid was the psilocybin tea I ingested in the 1970's 🙃
Isn't gin vegan already? With the exception of those sweetened with honey.
Can you imagine a world where you don't love this man?
"Why is Richard hammond asking me about paint?"
This coming from a man that finds joy in the most boring things on the planet.

02:55 The guts approved already !
It's fascinating to watch as well.
Incredible that Richard Hammond called while filming
My order is in.
James , saludos de una seguidora desde Cartagena España
Based off the daffodils in the intro, this was in spring, so they're probably already far along in the process.
Time to team up with TV's Oz Clarke again.
Isn’t ordinary Gin Vegan anyway
Some gins use honey as a natural sweetener
@ some yes not all
Most are, yes. But if you are a committed vegan, you have to be sure. You can be sure with JamesGin.
That implies that the vegan suitability of the exisiting gin is vague. Why not just say outright if it is suitable for vegans or not?
James is right, if we like it we know what to do. I don't get the things either. Just say something like "thanks for watching and have a nice drink" or something.
I really don't like gin, but this is/was fascinating
Vegan Gin... As opposed to the entirely meat based juniper cardamon and coriander standard gin 😂
How about a carnivore gin?
Call it carni-gin 🧥
@@FL-Kaiman see Jeremy Clarkson's V8 smoothie and add gin.
"created" He just puts his name on the label and poses with it, lol.
Portugal needs James Gin
