THIS is how videos pertaining to history SHOULD be done. Explain EVERYTHING from start to finish without leaving out even the slightest of details. You have a new subscriber in me. Excellent work!
I've only had one of those black Luxardo cherries once, at the Ashling Hotel in Dublin, it was an Irish take on an old fashioned, called a Bow Street Fashioned, made with Jameson whiskey (the distillery was on Bow Street). It was pretty good.
Longer and longer, it seems! We've been working on this for 3 months, but of course not full time. For this one, the research maybe 30-50 hours, writing 30 hours, images and animation another 30-40, recording voiceover & editing, then editing the final product, maybe 10-20? We don't track our time, which is maybe for the best because now that I write it down it seems a bit overwhelming! We have two people working on it in between our 'real' jobs.
great video, very interesting. that manhattan at the end, i was salivating as he put it together, it looked like it would slip down a treat. *books taxi to ontario*
@9:24...That street is pronounced "How-ston", not pronounced like the Texas city. Bartenders were rock stars in the 19th century. The most famous of them wrote several books of recipes and memoirs, and provides pretty good evidence for that bartender named Black who tended bar south of How-ston, an area referred to as SOHO.
Yes, we've been informed -- I guess the name functioned properly as a shibboleth, since it made it clear that we haven't spent much time in New York! And yeah, I talked about some other famous bartenders more in my early videos about the word "Cocktail" itself.
I lo e how mich detail and work went into the research, but i really came to hear about the cocktail and im 30min in have basically just learned where some words came from. I would really like less about stuff that does not pertain to the actual drink.

These videos are criminally underrated
This comment is criminally understated
This is an absolute fact.
Fully planning on reciting this entire episode to people whenever they ask me about my favorite cocktail.
This is such a wealth of information about so many things I had no idea about, thanks so much
Who needs to go out for a drink? Get the ingredients and stay in for a drink.
as doing that before this mess. money-saving move.
Discovered your channel today, have already watched 3 of your videos. What you do is amazing.
Wow, thank you! Welcome!
Fifty minutes? You could have warned me. I was a bottle down by 21:20..
Dammit. Whiskey. Been a while since I had any. I typically don't mix it though. My usual line is "whiskey, straight - unlike me ;)"
This is extremely interesting :-) Thankyou so much for creating this video! (I love your channel!!)
Thank you! Really glad you enjoyed it!

They are very tasty but Not Cheap. That Bow Street Fashioned sounds delicious!
Enjoying a Rob Roy as I watch your great posting .
Good health !
Cheers!
*Question:* How long does it take to create an Endless Knot episode? I assume the research takes the most time and effort, but about how much?

@@Alliterative Curious, but how do you do the animations? What software do you use to draw and navigate over the connected items map?
I put the images together in Inkscape & animate with Sozi, then we screen capture that & edit it together with the voiceover.
@@Alliterative Thanks - I always wondered. It is a good effect.
great video, very interesting. that manhattan at the end, i was salivating as he put it together, it looked like it would slip down a treat. *books taxi to ontario*
It would be worth the fare! 😁 (and thanks!)
Kept rewinding because I had to pick my jaw up from the floor serval times
I have been searching for a channel like this for so long!!! Thank you, you super nerds!!
Welcome fellow nerd!
This whole narration is exactly how my brain works. Connecting things upon connecting things

What a den of vipers those robber barons were! Fascinating stuff!
Amazing! Keep the good work
That name of the street where the club was-Houston Street? It’s pronounced How-ston in New York.
Yeah, we've heard about that from quite a few people since we posted. Guess we outed ourselves as non-New Yorkers. ;)
Scottish "Gaelic" is pronounced "Gah/ lic". Irish" Gaeilge" is pronouced "Gay:lic".
Just for information.
love it! thank you soo much
Amazing as always.
Thank you!
Every picture of Stanford White has a mustache except the one where he's murdered.
Vodka also may have a connotation of "dear little water" not just "little water"(voda)
I didn't expect you calling me an illness, but ok.

Wtf this has less than 10k views?!
Sorry but it’s Spelt like Houston but pronounced as house-ton. That’s the New York way!
Yes, we know that *now*! 🙃
