    What you're missing on the name is how specific to Detroit culture it is. This distillery is just a few blocks of M1, Woodward Ave, the first paved road in America. Every summer in August there is a weekend-long Dream Cruise where thousands of classic cars cruise the streets. Perhaps the name doesn't have wide appeal, but it's meant to honor this specific location and its Motor City culture. From a marketing standpoint its a great name for the region.

      Detroit is known as Motor City due to all the automotive manufactures that used to be there before the collapse of the area, not the Dream Cruise, the Dream Cruise was created as homage to Detroit being the home of all the auto manufactures.

      It's the "gas" part that doesn't do quality whiskey justice, not the motor city part. Motor City Surprisingly Good Spirits is a bit more of a mouthful though.

    The name "Motor City Gas" is the main reason why I clicked on the episode notification so fast.
    A great way to stand out on the whiskey aisle.

    Daniel's OOOOOOOH at 3:00 has me interested. I'm always wary of "Irish" or "Irish style" whiskeys I can't get in Ireland, but this one might be worth a hunt...

    • @marksaliba4194
      @marksaliba4194 2 года назад +3

      Maris Otter is a specific variety of two-row barley.

    • @ianfougerousse2899
      @ianfougerousse2899 2 года назад +5

      Maris Otter is a specific variety of barley. Massively common is beer brewing, and I am assuming whiskey as well.

    That video makes me want to see classic Thor lose his hammer during some massive fight where it is flung into space, only for him to later, in his hour of greatest need, summon the hammer to return from afar, reentering the atmosphere in a blaze and slamming fully afire into his hand, entwining both lighting and inferno.
    Badass.

    This one made me wonder, maybe you guys already covered this, but what IS both of your favorite whiskey notes you like to find that you would like turned way up. Or is there one out already that has your favorite notes that is turned way way up… I’m guessing the Peat in the Octomore series (my fav flavor is that Smokey smokey stuff)

    Interesting story, like how forcing the whisky industry to age their spirits in barrels for years was meant to force them out of business, and instead made a better product...

    Sup, y'all - Eric and I used to rock this bitch day & night for the owners ('Sup Rich!!), most likely did 99% of the manual-labor to produce these bottles they're reviewing... If you came back in the day, we prolly treated you like family... Not like Olive Garden, more like the Osbourne's - We called you out on your bullshit, told you lies, made jokes at your expense, and listened to lotsa ska/pop-punk... We had folks from Reel Big Fish, Circa Survive, I Prevail & Mighty Mighty Bosstones come drink with us... And we prolly liked your dog WAYYY more than you... ALSO - I prolly gave you a hug, just 'cause you're all so beautiful... If we ever offended you - Toughen up, nerd... Now let's address whatever the fuck these guys are talking about...
    1) "Barley Legal" Irish: Without saying every detail - He's right... 3X, ex-bourbon, raw & malted grains - The malted barley sourced from Ireland...
    2) "T-Boned" Rye Malt: Blend of malted and raw rye from Motor City Malt ('Sup Tom & Dan!!) Got alotta local grains from those cats...
    3) "The Shifter" Marris Otter: A series of single malts and each malt had it's own respective "Gear" - I forget what this one was, let's call it "6th Gear" for funsies... Easy drinkin' single malt...
    4) "The Shifter" Chocolate | Chocolate was "Gear 2," I believe: This one was the BEST to mill in!! Cocoa in the air, your hair, your clothes - Fuggin' heaven... "Hot" cocoa for the adults...
    Lotsa label talk... I DO NOT miss writing those labels (Front & Back) by hand... But - Logo shoutouts to Jim Ward, dude was close to the owners, but he passed prior to MCG going legal...
    Alright - Hugs...
