1
00:00:00,444 --> 00:00:01,877
All right, guys. Listen.

2
00:00:01,879 --> 00:00:03,178
You've won one.

3
00:00:03,180 --> 00:00:04,713
You've won one.

4
00:00:04,748 --> 00:00:05,680
It's my turn.

5
00:00:05,916 --> 00:00:09,017
I wanna do another competition
between us,

6
00:00:09,019 --> 00:00:10,252
but with a twist this time.

7
00:00:10,254 --> 00:00:11,286
I'm ready.

8
00:00:11,288 --> 00:00:12,320
Let's get going.

9
00:00:12,322 --> 00:00:13,321
Do it.

10
00:00:13,323 --> 00:00:16,358
<i> [narrator] this time on</i>
<i> master distiller...</i>

11
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:17,659
Welcome back, men.

12
00:00:17,661 --> 00:00:20,195
[narrator] mark, digger
<i> and tim bring back</i>

13

<i>  past competitors...</i>

14
00:00:22,833 --> 00:00:25,634
It's good to see all
three of you guys again.

15
00:00:25,636 --> 00:00:28,003
I wish the best to all of you.

16
00:00:28,005 --> 00:00:29,805
<i> [narrator] ...And roll up</i>
<i>  their own sleeves</i>

17
00:00:29,807 --> 00:00:31,606
<i>  for a chance at redemption.</i>

18
00:00:31,608 --> 00:00:33,241
This ain't just a one-man-show
no more.

19
00:00:33,243 --> 00:00:35,310
This sits on
everybody's shoulders.

20
00:00:35,779 --> 00:00:37,045
[man] whoa!

21
00:00:37,047 --> 00:00:38,713
You's are all
on the losing team.

22
00:00:38,749 --> 00:00:40,982
[laughing]

23
00:00:40,984 --> 00:00:42,918
<i> [narrator] judged by</i>
<i>  a panel of their peers...</i>

24
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:43,885
This is fantastic.

25
00:00:43,887 --> 00:00:46,321
I gotta base my decision
on marketability.

26
00:00:46,323 --> 00:00:49,191
This is definitely the hardest
one I've judged.

27
00:00:49,193 --> 00:00:49,891
Yeah.

28
00:00:49,893 --> 00:00:51,693
Hell, boy, this is redemption.

29
00:00:51,695 --> 00:00:53,095
<i> [narrator] to determine which</i>

00:00:55,032 --> 00:00:57,099
I'm sorry you're fixed to take

32
00:00:57,101 --> 00:00:58,567
the ass-whooping
you're fixed to take.

33
00:00:58,569 --> 00:00:59,734
We'll see.

34
00:00:59,870 --> 00:01:03,738
<i> [narrator] ...Can coach</i>
<i>  the next master distiller.</i>

35
00:01:03,740 --> 00:01:05,207
Y'all know you're gonna
lose, right?

36
00:01:05,209 --> 00:01:07,008
Proof's in the pudding.

37
00:01:17,888 --> 00:01:19,754
[digger] welcome back, men.

38
00:01:19,756 --> 00:01:21,056
Everybody's been here before,

39
00:01:21,058 --> 00:01:22,657
fought like champs,

40
00:01:22,659 --> 00:01:24,793
didn't come home to victory.

41
00:01:24,795 --> 00:01:26,628
We're here to figure out
which one of you all

42
00:01:26,630 --> 00:01:27,996
is gonna win redemption,

43
00:01:27,998 --> 00:01:31,867
and which one of us
makes the best coach.

44
00:01:31,869 --> 00:01:33,101
Peg leg, we know who
that's gonna be.

45
00:01:33,103 --> 00:01:34,836
[giggling]

46
00:01:34,838 --> 00:01:36,805
I have never beat these two.

47
00:01:36,807 --> 00:01:38,874
I want redemption myself.

48
00:01:38,876 --> 00:01:42,944
We got to choose our
favorite past contestant.

49
00:01:42,946 --> 00:01:45,447
And, big mike, you know
I've got your back.

50
00:01:45,949 --> 00:01:47,482
Leo, we got this.

51
00:01:47,985 --> 00:01:49,017
For your first challenge,

52
00:01:49,019 --> 00:01:50,886
you got the same still setup.

53
00:01:50,888 --> 00:01:52,888
You got the same good
corn mash.

54
00:01:52,890 --> 00:01:54,456
You will do your run.

55
00:01:54,458 --> 00:01:56,591
We will then do
a blind tasting

56
00:01:56,593 --> 00:01:58,960
for the order in which you
will pick your still parts.

57
00:01:58,962 --> 00:02:02,430
We're looking for a smooth,
high-proof liquor.

58
00:02:02,432 --> 00:02:03,865
[tim] after you
build your stills,

59
00:02:03,867 --> 00:02:05,433
it's gonna get
really interesting.

60
00:02:05,435 --> 00:02:07,002
You're gonna build your mash

61
00:02:07,004 --> 00:02:07,969
from what you bought
from home.

62
00:02:07,971 --> 00:02:11,106
This is your most
marketable recipe.

63
00:02:11,108 --> 00:02:12,941
We're gonna be there
every step along the way,

64
00:02:12,943 --> 00:02:16,011
even mashing and even
all the way through the run.

65
00:02:16,013 --> 00:02:18,213
We're gonna be there
in your corner, coaching.

66
00:02:19,216 --> 00:02:20,315
All right, boys,

67
00:02:20,350 --> 00:02:23,084
you got four hours to make us
your best jar of liquor.

68
00:02:23,387 --> 00:02:24,786
Your time starts now.

69
00:02:24,788 --> 00:02:26,421
Good luck to all of you.

70
00:02:28,592 --> 00:02:32,093
Thing about it is their stills
are exactly the same.

71
00:02:32,095 --> 00:02:34,763
How they run them is what's
gonna determine their quality.

72
00:02:34,765 --> 00:02:35,664
Exactly.

73
00:02:35,666 --> 00:02:38,200
All we need is one good jug.

74
00:02:38,869 --> 00:02:39,801
They don't get no more
backwards than

75
00:02:39,803 --> 00:02:41,736
this right over here.

76
00:02:41,738 --> 00:02:45,607
It's Sunday before they get
the Wednesday news,
where he lives.

77
00:02:45,609 --> 00:02:47,976
You know, I chose peg leg
number one,

78
00:02:47,978 --> 00:02:50,445
because he's just
an outstanding guy in my book.

79
00:02:50,447 --> 00:02:52,047
<i>  I think he got shortchanged.</i>

80
00:02:52,049 --> 00:02:53,949
<i>  He didn't even get to run</i>
<i>  his signature mash.</i>

81
00:02:53,951 --> 00:02:57,786
You know, it's just
a hand that fate deals
in this game sometimes.

82
00:02:57,788 --> 00:03:00,255
<i>  I wanna see what</i>
<i>  he brings to the table.</i>

83
00:03:00,257 --> 00:03:01,456
<i>  He's made a tremendous</i>
<i>  amount of liquor.</i>

84
00:03:01,458 --> 00:03:05,060
Everything from bourbon
to brandies to raw liquors.

85
00:03:05,629 --> 00:03:08,363
My name is stan wisniewski.
They call me peg leg.

86
00:03:10,033 --> 00:03:12,767
I've been distilling since
I was 12 years old.

87
00:03:12,769 --> 00:03:14,936
You put a little bit
in a container.

88
00:03:14,938 --> 00:03:16,771
<i> [stan] family members</i>
<i>  were running liquor</i>

89
00:03:16,773 --> 00:03:17,739
<i>  when I was younger.</i>

90
00:03:17,741 --> 00:03:18,940
And I learned from them.

91
00:03:18,942 --> 00:03:21,676
It's no good.
You want a nice blue flame.

92
00:03:21,678 --> 00:03:23,812
And, you wanna make sure
that it's good alcohol.

93
00:03:23,814 --> 00:03:25,280
It's probably about
a 150 proof.

94
00:03:25,949 --> 00:03:27,182
When I was here last time,

95
00:03:27,184 --> 00:03:28,917
<i>  I couldn't find rye anywhere.</i>

96
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:29,618
<i>  At the last minute,</i>

97
00:03:29,620 --> 00:03:31,686
<i>  we found a bag of flaked rye.</i>

98
00:03:31,688 --> 00:03:34,723
I've never used flaked greens
before in my life.

99
00:03:34,725 --> 00:03:37,859
And my yeast didn't convert
everything over.

100
00:03:37,861 --> 00:03:39,427
I knew it wasn't
going anywhere.

101
00:03:40,831 --> 00:03:42,063
Very little alcohol in there.

102
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,066
There's my jar.

103
00:03:45,068 --> 00:03:47,569
All I got was green water
coming out.

104
00:03:47,571 --> 00:03:49,437
So, I'm taking myself
out of the competition.

105
00:03:49,439 --> 00:03:51,473
Peg leg, that's pretty
honorable, buddy.

106
00:03:52,676 --> 00:03:54,042
I felt like somebody just

107
00:03:54,044 --> 00:03:55,844
ripped their hand in my chest

108
00:03:55,846 --> 00:03:57,078
and pulled my heart out.

109
00:03:57,114 --> 00:03:57,946
<i>  And that's how I felt</i>

110
00:03:57,948 --> 00:04:00,815
<i>  until I was asked</i>
<i>  to come back.</i>

111
00:04:00,817 --> 00:04:03,451
If I won this,
I'd be so happy and proud.

112
00:04:03,453 --> 00:04:04,486
It would be unbelievable.

113
00:04:07,624 --> 00:04:09,891
Big mike, I'm counting on you.

114
00:04:09,893 --> 00:04:10,892
Oh, we're doing the way
to dance,

115
00:04:10,894 --> 00:04:13,128
me and you. [laughs]

116
00:04:13,130 --> 00:04:14,963
[mark] you know, big mike,
he's a hoot.

117
00:04:14,965 --> 00:04:17,032
He's just a big ball of fun.

118
00:04:17,034 --> 00:04:18,700
Last time he was here,

119
00:04:18,702 --> 00:04:19,768
he ran gin,

120
00:04:19,770 --> 00:04:21,870
which isn't even
his specialty.

121
00:04:21,872 --> 00:04:22,771
And he blew us away.

122
00:04:22,773 --> 00:04:25,006
You know, he always
brought humor.

123
00:04:25,008 --> 00:04:27,842
He was more than willing
to help the other contestants.

124
00:04:27,844 --> 00:04:30,445
That, to me, is exactly

125
00:04:30,447 --> 00:04:32,914
the true mark of
a good moonshiner.

126
00:04:32,916 --> 00:04:34,449
That's why I chose big mike.

127
00:04:36,119 --> 00:04:37,285
Come on, big boy.

128
00:04:37,988 --> 00:04:38,953
My name is michael fannon.

129
00:04:38,955 --> 00:04:41,022
I'm from hinton,
west virginia.

130
00:04:41,024 --> 00:04:43,558
<i>  I've been distilling,</i>
<i>  probably...</i>

131
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:44,993
12, 13 years.

132
00:04:44,995 --> 00:04:46,795
<i>  My interest in distilling</i>
<i>  got started</i>

133
00:04:46,797 --> 00:04:48,697
<i>  with my grandmother's dad.</i>

134
00:04:48,699 --> 00:04:51,166
He was a moonshiner
in the prohibition era.

135
00:04:51,168 --> 00:04:54,936
Just a few gallons,
two gallons or so.

136
00:04:54,938 --> 00:04:56,604
<i>  I was here last year.</i>

137
00:04:56,606 --> 00:04:58,039
Second round, they told us
all three of us

138
00:04:58,041 --> 00:04:59,908
coming back to the third
round because

139
00:04:59,910 --> 00:05:01,810
everything was so good.

140
00:05:01,812 --> 00:05:04,412
You're all
outstanding distillers.

141
00:05:04,414 --> 00:05:05,714
There is one here, though,
that,

142
00:05:05,716 --> 00:05:09,050
I think, makes you wanna go
back and buy a second bottle.

143
00:05:09,986 --> 00:05:11,953
Jason, you're the next
<i>  master distiller.</i>

144
00:05:11,955 --> 00:05:13,888
[all cheering]

145
00:05:13,924 --> 00:05:16,624
congratulations, buddy.

146
00:05:16,626 --> 00:05:18,727
<i> [mike] if I was to win</i>
<i>  this redemption round,</i>

147
00:05:18,729 --> 00:05:20,895
that would be considered
the bragging rights

148
00:05:20,897 --> 00:05:22,397
of having the bragging rights.

149
00:05:22,999 --> 00:05:24,933
It's just a whole new level.

150
00:05:24,935 --> 00:05:26,134
Leo, how we doing?

151
00:05:26,136 --> 00:05:27,435
Like james brown said,

152
00:05:27,738 --> 00:05:28,970
I feel good.

153
00:05:28,972 --> 00:05:30,638
[tim] that's what
I'm talking about.

154
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:31,940
Last time leo was here,

155
00:05:31,942 --> 00:05:33,908
he was competing in
the peach brandy run.

156
00:05:33,910 --> 00:05:35,910
<i>  I'm a brandy man myself.</i>

157
00:05:35,912 --> 00:05:38,747
<i>  You know, he works with</i>
<i>  some unique ingredients.</i>

158
00:05:38,749 --> 00:05:40,648
And I've gone to a lot of
different distilleries.

159
00:05:40,650 --> 00:05:41,616
I'm trying to always learn

160
00:05:41,618 --> 00:05:44,018
different distilling
techniques.

161
00:05:44,020 --> 00:05:45,687
<i>  I wanted to give him</i>
<i>  a shot at redemption.</i>

162
00:05:45,689 --> 00:05:47,355
And maybe I could learn
a thing or two myself.

163
00:05:49,926 --> 00:05:52,394
My name is leopold sawadogo.

164
00:05:53,130 --> 00:05:54,362
<i>  I'm a master brewer.</i>

165
00:05:55,031 --> 00:05:55,997
[exclaims]

166
00:05:55,999 --> 00:05:57,031
and, I own a brewery

167
00:05:57,033 --> 00:05:59,434
in beautiful montclair,
new jersey.

168
00:05:59,436 --> 00:06:00,902
I've been distilling
ever since

169
00:06:00,904 --> 00:06:02,837
I started brewing
20 years ago.

170
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,272
Let's run this thing up.

171
00:06:04,574 --> 00:06:06,107
[flame roaring]

172
00:06:06,109 --> 00:06:08,743
<i>  I learned from my mom</i>
<i>  in west africa.</i>

173
00:06:08,745 --> 00:06:10,612
<i>  I decided to distill</i>

174
00:06:10,614 --> 00:06:12,747
with ingredients that come
from my country.

175
00:06:12,749 --> 00:06:15,884
<i>  The baobab is my favorite</i>
<i>  fruit to work with.</i>

176
00:06:15,886 --> 00:06:18,253
My first trip to
<i>  master distiller</i>
<i> was incredible.</i>

177
00:06:18,555 --> 00:06:19,954
<i>  But what happened is</i>

178
00:06:19,956 --> 00:06:23,425
<i> I was unable to produce liquor</i>
<i>  to satisfy the judge.</i>

179
00:06:23,427 --> 00:06:25,660
Unfortunately, buddy, this jar
bought you.

180
00:06:25,662 --> 00:06:27,028
Take it home.

181
00:06:27,030 --> 00:06:29,130
-We appreciate you, buddy.
-Thank you.

182
00:06:29,132 --> 00:06:29,964
You know what you've done?

183
00:06:29,966 --> 00:06:32,033
You just won the most
marketable jar.

184
00:06:32,035 --> 00:06:33,701
Winning that title of
<i>  master distiller</i>

185
00:06:33,703 --> 00:06:35,737
would mean everything to me.

186
00:06:35,739 --> 00:06:39,107
I wanna introduce a piece
of my country to the world,

187
00:06:39,109 --> 00:06:41,376
and what a great venue
to do that.

188
00:06:42,012 --> 00:06:43,545
[man] oh! Right!

189
00:06:43,547 --> 00:06:45,680
[laughing]

190
00:06:45,682 --> 00:06:48,216
big mike, you ain't
got no thumper, so...

191
00:06:48,218 --> 00:06:49,884
Yeah, I've never not used
a thumper.

192
00:06:49,886 --> 00:06:50,885
Right.

193
00:06:50,887 --> 00:06:52,754
I'm what you call
a thumper guy.

194
00:06:52,756 --> 00:06:55,023
Without a thumper,
it's one distillation,

195
00:06:55,025 --> 00:06:56,958
so you have to be super
careful with the fact that

196
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,626
you don't have a thumper

197
00:06:58,628 --> 00:07:01,029
to help clean it up
if you make a mistake.

198
00:07:01,031 --> 00:07:03,565
I gotta start playing it out
in my head.

199
00:07:03,567 --> 00:07:06,000
As far as the proof
and the runtime...

200
00:07:06,002 --> 00:07:08,770
You'll have liquor out
quicker without the thumper.

201
00:07:08,772 --> 00:07:10,104
[mike] a whole lot quicker.

202
00:07:10,106 --> 00:07:10,872
Cap's starting to get hot.

203
00:07:10,874 --> 00:07:12,874
How are you feeling about
this mash?

204
00:07:12,876 --> 00:07:14,909
Fine alcohol in the
bottom of that barrel.

205
00:07:14,911 --> 00:07:16,978
So, your game plan,
that's to get to about 120

206
00:07:16,980 --> 00:07:18,646
back at--
right, so go back down?

207
00:07:18,648 --> 00:07:20,615
-Back it down.
-130 somewhere in there.

208
00:07:20,617 --> 00:07:22,550
Watching temperatures
as it comes up.

209
00:07:22,552 --> 00:07:24,652
I believe you gonna be
the winner.

210
00:07:24,654 --> 00:07:26,421
I can guarantee you
I'm gonna be the winner.

211
00:07:27,891 --> 00:07:29,457
-[tim] hey, leo.
-[leo] yes, sir.

212
00:07:29,459 --> 00:07:31,125
-You like that mash?
-Absolutely.

213
00:07:31,127 --> 00:07:32,694
-Mash is good.
-Mash is clean.

214
00:07:32,696 --> 00:07:33,461
-Yeah?
-Mash is good.

215
00:07:33,463 --> 00:07:35,730
I always use stainless steel.

216
00:07:35,732 --> 00:07:36,965
I'm not used to copper.

217
00:07:36,967 --> 00:07:39,167
<i> I learned a lot the first time</i>
<i>  I was here.</i>

218
00:07:39,169 --> 00:07:41,803
<i>  So, I went back</i>
<i>  and studied everything</i>

219
00:07:41,805 --> 00:07:42,971
<i>  and, then, here we are.</i>

220
00:07:42,973 --> 00:07:44,873
I want to be careful
of the timing

221
00:07:44,875 --> 00:07:46,975
of when the liquor is run.

222
00:07:46,977 --> 00:07:48,877
<i>  And also how fast</i>
<i>  it's gonna heat up.</i>

223
00:07:48,879 --> 00:07:50,178
You good on the burner?

224
00:07:50,180 --> 00:07:51,779
-Yeah, everything
is under control.
-All right.

225
00:07:51,781 --> 00:07:52,714
And, all we need is...

226
00:07:52,716 --> 00:07:53,848
Is a real good jar.

227
00:07:53,850 --> 00:07:55,683
I'm not gonna disappoint you.

228
00:07:55,685 --> 00:07:56,985
-I know you won't.
-All right.

229
00:07:56,987 --> 00:07:57,819
Well, that's why I chose you.

230
00:07:57,821 --> 00:07:59,153
Exactly.

231
00:08:01,458 --> 00:08:03,658
All three of 'em working
with a plan.

232
00:08:03,660 --> 00:08:07,028
It's just sad that
peg leg's and leo's

233
00:08:07,030 --> 00:08:09,397
plans just ain't up to speed
with mike.

234
00:08:09,799 --> 00:08:10,965
[laughing]

235
00:08:10,967 --> 00:08:13,067
leo, don't you let him
worry you, okay?

236
00:08:13,069 --> 00:08:15,203
It is not in my nature
to worry.

237
00:08:15,205 --> 00:08:16,905
-I got your back.
-[giggles]

238
00:08:16,907 --> 00:08:18,439
boys, hour-and-a-half.

239
00:08:19,009 --> 00:08:20,074
This comes...

240
00:08:20,076 --> 00:08:21,242
[chuckles]

241
00:08:21,244 --> 00:08:22,110
I like to make noise.

242
00:08:22,112 --> 00:08:23,444
[giggles]

243
00:08:24,180 --> 00:08:26,080
[peg leg] we got some drips.

244
00:08:26,082 --> 00:08:28,182
Ooh, that smells good.

245
00:08:29,052 --> 00:08:29,918
There you go.

246
00:08:29,953 --> 00:08:32,020
Oh, yes.

247
00:08:32,022 --> 00:08:34,122
[leo] getting some drip-drip.

248
00:08:34,891 --> 00:08:36,224
Coming down, mikey?

249
00:08:36,226 --> 00:08:38,359
Won't be long before
I can smell it.

250
00:08:40,230 --> 00:08:41,362
Here we go, leo.

251
00:08:42,899 --> 00:08:45,466
Looks to me like they're all
on even keel at this point.

252
00:08:46,102 --> 00:08:47,168
Yeah.

253
00:08:48,004 --> 00:08:49,170
[coughs]

254
00:08:49,739 --> 00:08:50,939
[leo] this'll be
a lighter jar.

255
00:08:50,941 --> 00:08:53,641
That gets a little
higher than 120.

256
00:08:53,643 --> 00:08:56,144
Get a couple more jars,
I'll be done.

257
00:08:58,114 --> 00:08:59,814
Looks like these boys
are getting about

258
00:08:59,816 --> 00:09:01,149
where they need to be.

259
00:09:01,918 --> 00:09:03,251
You got a pile
of jars over there.

260
00:09:03,453 --> 00:09:04,786
[digger] yeah.

261
00:09:04,788 --> 00:09:06,120
I'm about to cut
this thing off.

262
00:09:08,925 --> 00:09:10,992
[peg leg] look how slow
that's coming out, at our
own pace.

263
00:09:10,994 --> 00:09:12,226
I'm the tortoise.

264
00:09:12,996 --> 00:09:14,228
Those boys are the hare.

265
00:09:14,230 --> 00:09:16,397
They're gonna get beat by
way more than the hare.

266
00:09:17,067 --> 00:09:18,232
[giggles]

267
00:09:19,903 --> 00:09:21,936
30 minutes, boys.

268
00:09:21,938 --> 00:09:23,905
[mike] fellars, I think
I'm gonna shut down.

269
00:09:23,907 --> 00:09:25,039
I think I'm good.

270
00:09:25,875 --> 00:09:26,975
Where we at, boss?

271
00:09:26,977 --> 00:09:29,377
[mike] I think
we're right there on it.

272
00:09:29,379 --> 00:09:30,912
You had no trouble
without the thumper?

273
00:09:30,914 --> 00:09:33,615
No, I got some high proof
in there.

274
00:09:33,617 --> 00:09:35,049
Look, it's probably 130.

275
00:09:35,051 --> 00:09:38,686
I had a run which
started about 100, 105.

276
00:09:38,688 --> 00:09:39,988
And I started to
hit...

277
00:09:39,990 --> 00:09:42,724
Damn, I'm feeling good, boss.

278
00:09:42,726 --> 00:09:45,059
Looks like me and you
got the winning hand.

279
00:09:45,061 --> 00:09:46,294
We gonna throw them
out of the bus.

280
00:09:46,296 --> 00:09:47,462
[laughing]

281
00:09:49,866 --> 00:09:52,567
<i> [peg leg] I was tasting</i>
<i>  the sweetness of the mash.</i>

282
00:09:52,569 --> 00:09:55,269
<i>  And, that's when I knew</i>
<i>  I was getting into my hearts.</i>

283
00:09:55,271 --> 00:09:58,039
That was giving me the right
time to start blending.

284
00:09:58,041 --> 00:09:58,873
Good.

285
00:09:58,875 --> 00:10:01,075
<i>  And that's far as I can go.</i>

286
00:10:02,145 --> 00:10:04,245
Put this right here
with spring water.

287
00:10:04,814 --> 00:10:06,914
[digger] best liquor in
the world, in my opinion

288
00:10:06,916 --> 00:10:08,883
tempered down with
a little bit of spring water.

289
00:10:08,918 --> 00:10:10,485
Brings those flavors up.

290
00:10:13,123 --> 00:10:15,657
Got a really good
corn flavor to it.

291
00:10:15,659 --> 00:10:17,725
<i>  And it's really sweet.</i>

292
00:10:17,727 --> 00:10:19,794
<i>  And the corn flavor</i>
<i>  really comes through,</i>

293
00:10:19,796 --> 00:10:21,262
running it
without a thumper.

294
00:10:22,232 --> 00:10:23,264
You boys ready?

295
00:10:23,533 --> 00:10:25,066
Bring it on.

296
00:10:25,068 --> 00:10:26,868
You might as well get misery
out of your way immediately.

297
00:10:26,870 --> 00:10:28,403
[laughing]

298
00:10:29,973 --> 00:10:31,706
all right, big boy,
get on out of here.

299
00:10:31,708 --> 00:10:32,674
Get you some rest.

300
00:10:32,676 --> 00:10:33,608
You're gonna need it
when you get

301
00:10:33,610 --> 00:10:34,976
the bad news here
in a little bit.

302
00:10:34,978 --> 00:10:36,310
Yeah, we'll see what
kind of bad news.

303
00:10:36,713 --> 00:10:37,445
[chuckles]

304
00:10:39,015 --> 00:10:40,081
I think my man's
already finished.

305
00:10:40,083 --> 00:10:42,316
He's already the losing jar,
and don't even know it.

306
00:10:44,087 --> 00:10:45,887
[tim] that's pretty bead,
right there.

307
00:10:45,889 --> 00:10:47,188
I can see that from here.

308
00:10:47,190 --> 00:10:49,057
I felt good about the jar.

309
00:10:49,059 --> 00:10:51,426
It was not extremely
high a proof

310
00:10:51,428 --> 00:10:53,161
that it scorch your...

311
00:10:53,163 --> 00:10:54,962
Your throat when
you're drinking.

312
00:10:54,964 --> 00:10:56,297
It was smooth.

313
00:10:58,034 --> 00:10:59,067
All right.

314
00:10:59,369 --> 00:11:00,334
The winning jar.

315
00:11:00,870 --> 00:11:01,836
That's it.

316
00:11:01,838 --> 00:11:03,004
That's what I'm talking about.

317
00:11:03,006 --> 00:11:04,172
Get your rest up,

318
00:11:04,174 --> 00:11:06,074
we're break the bad news
to you here directly.

319
00:11:06,076 --> 00:11:07,442
[laughing]

320
00:11:07,777 --> 00:11:09,944
don't you worry, leo.

321
00:11:09,946 --> 00:11:12,780
That's the best looking jar
on the table.

322
00:11:12,782 --> 00:11:14,549
Oh, I don't know about
all that.

323
00:11:14,551 --> 00:11:16,017
Now, my contestant,
while we're looking,

324
00:11:16,019 --> 00:11:18,820
he's running liquor
the way you're supposed to.

325
00:11:18,822 --> 00:11:20,455
That's the one,
that's the one.

326
00:11:21,891 --> 00:11:22,757
Think that's it, peg?

327
00:11:22,759 --> 00:11:24,058
I think so.

328
00:11:24,060 --> 00:11:25,960
I used as much time
as I could.

329
00:11:25,962 --> 00:11:27,295
I used the whole four hours.

330
00:11:27,964 --> 00:11:29,130
I blended mine.

331
00:11:29,165 --> 00:11:32,133
I took a little bit from each
part of the jar that I had

332
00:11:32,135 --> 00:11:33,768
and tasted it along the way.

333
00:11:33,770 --> 00:11:35,436
When I got that sweetness
coming in,

334
00:11:35,438 --> 00:11:37,271
that's when I knew I had it.

335
00:11:37,974 --> 00:11:40,041
Look at that, that jar is full

336
00:11:40,043 --> 00:11:41,843
you couldn't tell there's
anything in it.

337
00:11:41,845 --> 00:11:42,944
See you shortly.

338
00:11:42,946 --> 00:11:43,978
[peg leg] yes sir.

339
00:11:44,013 --> 00:11:44,846
All right, boys,

340
00:11:44,848 --> 00:11:46,881
at this point I don't
even trust me.

341
00:11:46,883 --> 00:11:48,983
This needs to be
a true blind test.

342
00:11:48,985 --> 00:11:51,452
I just so happen to
know somebody.

343
00:11:51,454 --> 00:11:53,354
-Get him.
-All right, I'm gonna get him.

344
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:57,625
We're back.

345
00:11:57,627 --> 00:11:58,659
All right.

346
00:11:58,661 --> 00:12:00,027
[tickle] tell you
what, fellars,

347
00:12:00,029 --> 00:12:02,697
I done mixed these
jars up so much

348
00:12:02,699 --> 00:12:04,565
that even I don't know
whose is whose.

349
00:12:04,567 --> 00:12:07,068
It's definitely gonna be
a blind taste test.

350
00:12:07,070 --> 00:12:09,837
What do you think the judges
are saying right now?

351
00:12:09,839 --> 00:12:11,072
I guarantee they're
saying right now

352
00:12:11,074 --> 00:12:12,306
that my jar is the winner.

353
00:12:12,308 --> 00:12:14,876
[all laughing]

354
00:12:14,911 --> 00:12:16,410
[tim] jar number one.

355
00:12:17,447 --> 00:12:18,513
All right, looking
pretty good.

356
00:12:18,515 --> 00:12:20,782
Breaking away, I'd put it
at about 90.

357
00:12:20,784 --> 00:12:22,884
[mark] I wanna say
if there is a bad jar here,

358
00:12:22,886 --> 00:12:24,886
I'm gonna really be surprised.

359
00:12:24,888 --> 00:12:27,688
We've got all top-notch
competitors right here.

360
00:12:27,690 --> 00:12:29,757
-Right.
-[tickle] I'll tell you what,

361
00:12:29,759 --> 00:12:32,126
that is clear as
the day is long.

362
00:12:32,796 --> 00:12:33,795
Well, it smells good.

363
00:12:33,797 --> 00:12:35,363
[tickle] it's got
a good smell to it.

364
00:12:37,100 --> 00:12:38,399
Tastes like liquor, don't it?

365
00:12:38,968 --> 00:12:39,867
It ain't buttermilk.

366
00:12:39,869 --> 00:12:40,968
That is real good.

367
00:12:40,970 --> 00:12:42,003
Don't have any fire in it.

368
00:12:42,005 --> 00:12:44,906
Oh, no, there's no
burning activity to it at all.

369
00:12:44,908 --> 00:12:46,808
That's good drinking liquor,
right there.

370
00:12:46,810 --> 00:12:47,408
[tickle] yes it is.

371
00:12:47,811 --> 00:12:48,643
Jar number two.

372
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:52,980
Think we got a little bit
more there.

373
00:12:53,283 --> 00:12:54,348
About 95.

374
00:12:57,787 --> 00:12:59,887
That one got a little bit of
a different bite to it.

375
00:12:59,889 --> 00:13:01,856
Bites me a little bit
in the back of the throat.

376
00:13:01,858 --> 00:13:03,491
Yeah, but
that ain't a bad thing.

377
00:13:03,493 --> 00:13:05,760
I wanna know I'm
drinking liquor.

378
00:13:05,762 --> 00:13:07,728
Well, hell, if you don't know
when you're drinking liquor,

379
00:13:07,730 --> 00:13:09,430
then you're in
the wrong business.

380
00:13:09,432 --> 00:13:10,998
I know it, but when I
sip something

381
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,366
I don't wanna mistake it

382
00:13:12,368 --> 00:13:14,836
for low proof,
being so damn smooth.

383
00:13:14,838 --> 00:13:17,471
-I like it. Boy, it's
real easy on the nose and--
-yeah.

384
00:13:17,473 --> 00:13:18,739
It's still a good, smooth job

385
00:13:18,741 --> 00:13:20,942
but it's got a little bit
more bite in the last...

386
00:13:20,944 --> 00:13:24,011
-Really good, really good.
-Run a little faster than it
should've been, I believe.

387
00:13:24,013 --> 00:13:26,047
You and I never work on
copper still,

388
00:13:26,049 --> 00:13:27,982
it heat up pretty quick.

389
00:13:27,984 --> 00:13:29,150
Yeah, you gotta watch out
for that.

390
00:13:29,152 --> 00:13:30,785
Go by sight,

391
00:13:30,787 --> 00:13:32,286
taste, smell...

392
00:13:32,822 --> 00:13:34,388
-Listen to your still.
-Yeah?

393
00:13:34,457 --> 00:13:36,023
The still will talk to you.

394
00:13:36,926 --> 00:13:38,860
It'll even fart every now and
then. Give you a smell,
you know what I mean?

395
00:13:38,895 --> 00:13:39,827
Oh, yeah.

396
00:13:39,963 --> 00:13:42,230
You've been sitting around
and... [sniffs]

397
00:13:42,232 --> 00:13:43,664
-something don't smell right.
-Yeah.

398
00:13:43,666 --> 00:13:44,899
[all laughing]

399
00:13:44,901 --> 00:13:46,734
jar number three
looks crystal clear.

400
00:13:46,736 --> 00:13:49,036
Every one of them has been.

401
00:13:50,907 --> 00:13:54,208
Hm, I think we're little bit
high on proof on that one.

402
00:14:00,016 --> 00:14:01,983
Damn, 'course they all smell
about the same.

403
00:14:01,985 --> 00:14:03,184
[groans]

404
00:14:03,987 --> 00:14:05,186
that's the highest proof

405
00:14:05,188 --> 00:14:06,988
and that's
the smoothest jar...

406
00:14:06,990 --> 00:14:08,789
It is a good jar.

407
00:14:08,791 --> 00:14:09,991
All three of them
are really good.

408
00:14:09,993 --> 00:14:11,092
They're all outstanding.

409
00:14:11,094 --> 00:14:12,860
I know where I'm at, though.

410
00:14:12,862 --> 00:14:15,196
I know where
I'm at on it, too.

411
00:14:15,198 --> 00:14:16,097
I'll go fetch these fellars.

412
00:14:16,099 --> 00:14:18,165
-Go fetch them.
-Bring my winner in first.

413
00:14:19,302 --> 00:14:20,234
Love you to death,

414
00:14:20,270 --> 00:14:22,003
but I'm gonna give you
a run for your money.

415
00:14:22,005 --> 00:14:23,170
I don't know about that.

416
00:14:23,172 --> 00:14:24,939
-Good for you.
-We'll see.

417
00:14:24,941 --> 00:14:27,308
You take off running too fast,
leo, and we'll trip you.

418
00:14:27,810 --> 00:14:29,076
[laughs]

419
00:14:31,881 --> 00:14:33,447
all right, fellars.

420
00:14:33,449 --> 00:14:35,683
-All right.
-Hello, hello, hello.

421
00:14:35,685 --> 00:14:36,918
Welcome back.

422
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:38,519
And I knew we were
gonna be facing

423
00:14:38,521 --> 00:14:40,588
three fine jars of liquor.

424
00:14:40,590 --> 00:14:42,957
Why one of y'all couldn't have
screwed up a little bit,

425
00:14:42,959 --> 00:14:45,059
make it a little bit easier,
is beyond me.

426
00:14:45,061 --> 00:14:46,560
All that being said,

427
00:14:46,562 --> 00:14:48,729
nobody's going home today.

428
00:14:48,731 --> 00:14:50,932
All this is gonna choose
is the pecking order

429
00:14:50,934 --> 00:14:52,633
and which folks go
to the still house

430
00:14:52,635 --> 00:14:53,668
and pick their parts.

431
00:14:53,670 --> 00:14:55,836
Ain't a jar sitting
on that table

432
00:14:55,838 --> 00:14:56,771
I wouldn't love
to be sitting on

433
00:14:56,773 --> 00:14:58,806
a creek bank fishing with.

434
00:14:58,808 --> 00:15:01,776
Then it come down to just
minute differences on them.

435
00:15:01,778 --> 00:15:03,077
It's very difficult

436
00:15:03,079 --> 00:15:05,846
to say anything bad
about them, right?

437
00:15:05,848 --> 00:15:07,915
Yes, one of them
is a little bit

438
00:15:07,917 --> 00:15:09,083
better than the other one.

439
00:15:09,085 --> 00:15:10,618
One of them is a little bit
higher proof

440
00:15:10,620 --> 00:15:11,919
than the other one.

441
00:15:11,921 --> 00:15:15,089
But, all three of you,
outstanding job.

442
00:15:15,158 --> 00:15:16,190
Thank you.

443
00:15:16,192 --> 00:15:17,458
Pull the labels, tim.

444
00:15:19,128 --> 00:15:21,062
The number one jar is...

445
00:15:28,938 --> 00:15:29,737
Peg leg!

446
00:15:29,739 --> 00:15:31,238
-[all clapping]
-yeah!

447
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,008
-That's my partner.
-Thank you.

448
00:15:34,243 --> 00:15:35,376
Second place...

449
00:15:36,980 --> 00:15:37,712
Big mike!

450
00:15:38,781 --> 00:15:40,381
-That's right.
-[all clapping]

451
00:15:41,818 --> 00:15:43,084
-good job, mike.
-Appreciate it.

452
00:15:43,086 --> 00:15:45,052
Well, get the suspense over,

453
00:15:45,054 --> 00:15:47,021
find out who
the third place is.

454
00:15:47,023 --> 00:15:49,056
The third place is...

455
00:15:49,959 --> 00:15:50,858
Leo!

456
00:15:50,860 --> 00:15:51,759
That is all great.

457
00:15:51,761 --> 00:15:53,761
[clapping]

458
00:15:53,763 --> 00:15:55,896
fellars, with that being said,

459
00:15:55,898 --> 00:15:57,798
-let's go to the still house.
-All right.

460
00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,467
I got my truck
running outside.

461
00:15:59,469 --> 00:16:00,501
It's got a flat tire.

462
00:16:00,870 --> 00:16:02,003
Any one of y'all know
how to blow a tire up?

463
00:16:02,005 --> 00:16:02,803
Oh, yeah.

464
00:16:02,805 --> 00:16:03,671
I ain't got no pumps.

465
00:16:03,673 --> 00:16:05,239
Someone's gonna
have to blow it up.

466
00:16:07,877 --> 00:16:09,877
You know, they say
if it walks like a duck

467
00:16:09,879 --> 00:16:10,978
and quacks like a duck--

468
00:16:11,014 --> 00:16:12,980
but I had a buddy,

469
00:16:12,982 --> 00:16:15,149
played a pretty damn
convincing duck.

470
00:16:16,019 --> 00:16:19,086
We are here to pick
our still parts.

471
00:16:19,088 --> 00:16:22,023
Y'all are gonna have
three minutes.

472
00:16:22,158 --> 00:16:24,458
Peg leg, you are up first.

473
00:16:25,261 --> 00:16:27,328
Starting now!

474
00:16:31,601 --> 00:16:32,500
Uh-oh.

475
00:16:32,769 --> 00:16:33,734
Peg leg sounds like
he's getting off to

476
00:16:33,736 --> 00:16:35,002
a good start in there.

477
00:16:35,004 --> 00:16:36,570
I know I didn't
need a thumper,

478
00:16:36,572 --> 00:16:38,272
<i>  so I had no other alcohol</i>

479
00:16:38,274 --> 00:16:40,641
or anything I wanted to put
in there for that.

480
00:16:40,643 --> 00:16:41,909
<i>  All I needed was a pot,</i>

481
00:16:41,911 --> 00:16:43,711
<i>  the connections</i>
<i>  and a condenser.</i>

482
00:16:43,713 --> 00:16:45,446
[tickle] ten seconds left!

483
00:16:45,448 --> 00:16:48,049
If you don't come out here
with it, it's mine!

484
00:16:48,851 --> 00:16:50,451
There we go.

485
00:16:50,453 --> 00:16:52,453
Mike, you've got
three minutes,

486
00:16:52,455 --> 00:16:53,621
starting now!

487
00:16:56,125 --> 00:16:57,792
Do you know what to do with
all of them parts in there?

488
00:16:57,794 --> 00:16:59,527
About half of 'em.

489
00:16:59,529 --> 00:17:02,096
Biggest part I'm gonna be
looking for is the thumper.

490
00:17:02,098 --> 00:17:04,632
Because that's what I'm most
comfortable around.

491
00:17:04,634 --> 00:17:05,900
I know how to tune it

492
00:17:05,902 --> 00:17:09,003
to make it run
the way I want it to run.

493
00:17:09,005 --> 00:17:10,438
So, that's the main thing
I want to get.

494
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,039
[tickle] 30 seconds left.

495
00:17:12,041 --> 00:17:14,909
All right, look, mike's
coming out strong.

496
00:17:14,911 --> 00:17:17,611
We have got a doubler
on the scene.

497
00:17:17,613 --> 00:17:19,713
But we still gotta
connect all that.

498
00:17:19,715 --> 00:17:22,950
He came out of there
with all kinds of [bleep]

499
00:17:22,952 --> 00:17:26,554
all right, leo, you're gonna
have three minutes.

500
00:17:26,556 --> 00:17:29,156
-Starting now.
-[leo] all right.

501
00:17:31,828 --> 00:17:33,961
You seeing anything you
need in there, leo?

502
00:17:33,963 --> 00:17:36,430
[leo] yeah, let me
get this out.

503
00:17:38,034 --> 00:17:40,000
[tickle] all right, I see
a doubler.

504
00:17:40,002 --> 00:17:41,368
And a pot.

505
00:17:41,971 --> 00:17:44,105
-Are you seeing anything else?
-[leo] nope.

506
00:17:44,107 --> 00:17:46,140
[tickle] right now,
you can't make liquor.

507
00:17:50,780 --> 00:17:52,279
[tickle] you got
three seconds.

508
00:17:52,281 --> 00:17:54,014
-Three seconds?
-[tickle] no, I'm just lying.

509
00:17:54,016 --> 00:17:55,449
It's 30 seconds left.

510
00:17:56,252 --> 00:17:57,785
There we go.

511
00:17:57,787 --> 00:18:00,221
All right, now we got
a condenser.

512
00:18:00,223 --> 00:18:01,622
-You sure you're done?
-Yes.

513
00:18:01,624 --> 00:18:03,491
All right, fellars, follow me.

514
00:18:09,832 --> 00:18:11,799
Now, these fellars
just got some still parts

515
00:18:11,801 --> 00:18:14,101
and I believe they're gonna be
ready to roll.

516
00:18:14,103 --> 00:18:16,003
I'm gonna leave these fellars
in y'all's hands.

517
00:18:16,038 --> 00:18:17,171
All right.

518
00:18:17,173 --> 00:18:18,906
[digger] welcome back, men.

519
00:18:18,908 --> 00:18:20,174
First thing you gotta do,

520
00:18:20,176 --> 00:18:21,909
get these stills together.

521
00:18:21,911 --> 00:18:22,977
You got one hour.

522
00:18:22,979 --> 00:18:25,112
Your time starts now.

523
00:18:25,715 --> 00:18:26,814
Leo, when we win,

524
00:18:26,816 --> 00:18:29,150
don't brag so much
like I would.

525
00:18:29,152 --> 00:18:30,985
Peg leg, now you really
got to come with it.

526
00:18:30,987 --> 00:18:33,254
There is two things
I'm gonna need here.

527
00:18:33,256 --> 00:18:33,954
I don't know if you have.

528
00:18:33,956 --> 00:18:34,922
What do you need?

529
00:18:34,924 --> 00:18:35,990
I'm gonna need some gasket.

530
00:18:35,992 --> 00:18:37,458
I'm gonna need a cap.

531
00:18:37,460 --> 00:18:38,659
-Would that work?
-Yeah.

532
00:18:38,661 --> 00:18:39,894
-Cool, man.
-That would.

533
00:18:39,896 --> 00:18:41,362
[mike] |you need
some gaskets, too.

534
00:18:41,364 --> 00:18:42,229
[digger] ain't nothing like

535
00:18:42,231 --> 00:18:44,031
seeing these guys
working good together.

536
00:18:44,033 --> 00:18:46,000
-Thanks, men.
-Yes, sir.

537
00:18:52,775 --> 00:18:54,008
It'll work.

538
00:18:54,010 --> 00:18:55,142
I need something this height.

539
00:18:55,144 --> 00:18:56,043
Oh, lord.

540
00:18:56,045 --> 00:18:56,944
Wait a minute now.

541
00:18:56,946 --> 00:18:58,746
I'm worried about you.

542
00:18:58,748 --> 00:19:00,147
[mark] I wanna win
this redemption,

543
00:19:00,149 --> 00:19:01,448
but not by default.

544
00:19:01,450 --> 00:19:02,483
Oh [bleep]

545
00:19:04,187 --> 00:19:05,419
I need something this height.

546
00:19:06,455 --> 00:19:07,922
Wait a minute now.

547
00:19:07,924 --> 00:19:08,956
I'm worried about you.

548
00:19:08,958 --> 00:19:09,490
It will work.

549
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:12,026
Oh [bleep]

550
00:19:14,230 --> 00:19:15,062
that's crazy.

551
00:19:15,064 --> 00:19:16,263
[mark] hey, tim.

552
00:19:16,632 --> 00:19:17,898
I'm gonna go over and help leo

553
00:19:17,900 --> 00:19:20,868
with his still a little bit,
if you don't mind.

554
00:19:20,870 --> 00:19:22,903
Yeah, just take that condenser
out of that.

555
00:19:22,905 --> 00:19:24,205
He don't need that.

556
00:19:24,774 --> 00:19:26,740
-Leo, my man.
-Yes, sir.

557
00:19:26,742 --> 00:19:28,075
You having
a little difficulty?

558
00:19:28,077 --> 00:19:30,010
[leo] this is not gonna work.

559
00:19:30,012 --> 00:19:32,213
This right here might fix us.

560
00:19:32,882 --> 00:19:33,914
-Let's see.
-All right.

561
00:19:33,916 --> 00:19:35,816
[mark] this fine
arm condenser will do

562
00:19:35,818 --> 00:19:37,718
-exactly the same thing
as this will do.
-Right.

563
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:38,986
[mark] I wanna win
this redemption,

564
00:19:38,988 --> 00:19:41,155
-but not by default.
-Right.

565
00:19:42,124 --> 00:19:44,458
Think that'll work
for you, boss.

566
00:19:44,460 --> 00:19:46,427
-Good luck, leo.
-Thank you.

567
00:19:48,898 --> 00:19:49,997
Solid.

568
00:19:51,033 --> 00:19:52,299
-Good, leo?
-Done.

569
00:19:53,035 --> 00:19:53,867
You good?

570
00:19:53,869 --> 00:19:55,169
-Yes, sir.
-[mike] cool.

571
00:19:55,638 --> 00:19:57,271
That's record time.

572
00:19:57,273 --> 00:19:58,806
Boys, we're gonna see
some fine liquor

573
00:19:58,808 --> 00:20:01,008
out of this bunch right here.

574
00:20:01,010 --> 00:20:02,743
[mark] that's right,
'cause your stills are done,

575
00:20:02,745 --> 00:20:03,944
ready to run.

576
00:20:03,946 --> 00:20:06,714
We're gonna put 'em
aside for right now.

577
00:20:06,716 --> 00:20:08,816
You guys get
a good night's sleep,

578
00:20:08,818 --> 00:20:10,784
because tomorrow
we're gonna build

579
00:20:10,786 --> 00:20:11,952
your specialty recipe,

580
00:20:11,954 --> 00:20:13,754
your specialty mash.

581
00:20:13,756 --> 00:20:14,888
The one that you think

582
00:20:14,890 --> 00:20:17,958
will win you this competition.

583
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:18,859
Since we're going to be
in your corner,

584
00:20:18,861 --> 00:20:20,995
mashing and helping you,

585
00:20:20,997 --> 00:20:24,898
we're gonna bring in a very,
very reliable timekeeper

586
00:20:24,900 --> 00:20:26,867
to referee this challenge.

587
00:20:26,869 --> 00:20:28,302
Good luck to each one of you.

588
00:20:31,941 --> 00:20:33,040
All right, fellars,

589
00:20:33,042 --> 00:20:35,976
this is redemption time,
right here.

590
00:20:35,978 --> 00:20:38,912
This is gonna be
three teams, right?

591
00:20:38,914 --> 00:20:40,881
This ain't just
one-man-show no more.

592
00:20:40,883 --> 00:20:42,816
This sits on
everybody's shoulders.

593
00:20:42,818 --> 00:20:44,752
Y'all are gonna have one hour

594
00:20:44,754 --> 00:20:46,754
to make y'all's
signature mash.

595
00:20:46,756 --> 00:20:50,724
You fine-tuned and honed
these recipes.

596
00:20:50,726 --> 00:20:54,995
But now's where we really put
the pedal to the floor.

597
00:20:54,997 --> 00:20:58,032
And your one hour
starts right now.

598
00:20:58,768 --> 00:20:59,767
Get ready.

599
00:21:02,905 --> 00:21:05,005
-Put some water in it,
it'll be ready.
-Yep.

600
00:21:07,677 --> 00:21:10,044
Time to break this
new mash stick in.

601
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:12,680
I'm making
a three-grain bourbon.

602
00:21:12,682 --> 00:21:15,616
Our recipe is corn, rye
and some barley in there.

603
00:21:15,618 --> 00:21:17,685
Let it mix with
the hot water first.

604
00:21:17,687 --> 00:21:19,953
-Then we're gonna
rehydrate the corn.
-Yeah.

605
00:21:19,955 --> 00:21:22,823
We'll mix it all together when
it gets down to about 140.

606
00:21:22,825 --> 00:21:24,224
-That works for me.
-Okay.

607
00:21:24,226 --> 00:21:26,093
We're gonna be the only two
in tennessee to make this.

608
00:21:26,095 --> 00:21:27,227
Yeah.

609
00:21:27,229 --> 00:21:28,829
I'm making the baobab brandy.

610
00:21:28,831 --> 00:21:30,931
The baobab
is a 100-year-old tree.

611
00:21:30,933 --> 00:21:33,067
<i>  And, it takes a 100 years</i>
<i>  to bear fruit.</i>

612
00:21:33,069 --> 00:21:35,636
<i> You can find it in west africa</i>
<i>  and in madagascar.</i>

613
00:21:35,638 --> 00:21:37,871
<i> They call it the tree of life.</i>

614
00:21:37,873 --> 00:21:40,741
<i>  The mash mill is only</i>
<i>  baobab powder and sugar.</i>

615
00:21:40,743 --> 00:21:42,209
I kept it very simple.

616
00:21:42,645 --> 00:21:44,044
Think we got it there.

617
00:21:44,814 --> 00:21:45,846
It's almost like a
orange flavor.

618
00:21:45,848 --> 00:21:47,915
Yeah, it's got everything.

619
00:21:47,917 --> 00:21:51,018
A baobab fruit is a flavor
that stands by itself.

620
00:21:51,020 --> 00:21:52,119
What are y'all making
over there?

621
00:21:52,121 --> 00:21:53,987
Y'all making stew over there
or what?

622
00:21:53,989 --> 00:21:56,123
-Chicken stew.
-[giggles]

623
00:21:56,125 --> 00:21:57,758
I'd say they're making
chicken [bleep].

624
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,960
What are you making, big mike?

625
00:21:59,962 --> 00:22:01,862
-[mike] here,
I'll show you, leo.
-You got a very good one.

626
00:22:01,864 --> 00:22:02,763
-Ta-da.
-Oh, man.

627
00:22:02,765 --> 00:22:04,465
[laughing]

628
00:22:04,467 --> 00:22:05,833
what do they got?
Chicken in the bucket.

629
00:22:05,835 --> 00:22:07,634
-There's nothing in there.
-More like a bowl of water.

630
00:22:07,636 --> 00:22:08,802
[mike] if lord made it
into wine,

631
00:22:08,804 --> 00:22:11,271
I figure I can make it
into liquor if nothing else.

632
00:22:13,843 --> 00:22:15,909
We're going to do
michael whiskey.

633
00:22:15,911 --> 00:22:17,711
It's gonna have
cracked corn in it.

634
00:22:17,713 --> 00:22:18,912
And we're gonna cook it down

635
00:22:18,914 --> 00:22:20,881
and get the starches
to releasing.

636
00:22:20,883 --> 00:22:22,015
Take two real malts of barley.

637
00:22:22,017 --> 00:22:22,916
Uh-huh.

638
00:22:22,918 --> 00:22:24,251
Convert them to starches.

639
00:22:24,987 --> 00:22:26,787
Then, we're gonna take

640
00:22:26,789 --> 00:22:28,021
some of this malt
for bread wheat,

641
00:22:28,023 --> 00:22:29,123
dump it in there
and let it sit.

642
00:22:29,125 --> 00:22:30,290
And, then...

643
00:22:30,826 --> 00:22:32,993
We're gonna take it over here

644
00:22:32,995 --> 00:22:33,927
and we're gonna put it
in the sour mash.

645
00:22:33,929 --> 00:22:37,097
I brought some sour mash
that I had.

646
00:22:37,099 --> 00:22:38,599
The fourth or fifth
generation sour mash

647
00:22:38,601 --> 00:22:40,033
that has been running.

648
00:22:40,035 --> 00:22:42,236
I just keep it going,
keep that flavor going.

649
00:22:42,238 --> 00:22:43,704
That stuff is off the chain.

650
00:22:43,706 --> 00:22:45,272
Yes, it is.

651
00:22:45,274 --> 00:22:46,874
I also added three-quarters
of a gallon

652
00:22:46,876 --> 00:22:48,976
<i>  of dark honey,</i>

653
00:22:48,978 --> 00:22:51,445
<i>  it should be</i>
<i>  a pretty good liquor.</i>

654
00:22:51,447 --> 00:22:53,147
Boy, them little fellars
worked hard

655
00:22:53,149 --> 00:22:55,048
-for all that, didn't they?
-Can you imagine?

656
00:22:55,050 --> 00:22:57,684
[digger] we're about 170, 172.

657
00:22:57,686 --> 00:22:58,719
Oh, yeah, that's fine.

658
00:22:58,721 --> 00:23:00,354
We'll slip that warm gelatin

659
00:23:00,356 --> 00:23:01,255
with everything else,
you know.

660
00:23:01,257 --> 00:23:02,723
Yep.

661
00:23:02,725 --> 00:23:04,958
Everybody wants
a sweet corn,
a white corn,

662
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:06,860
<i>  but I like doing</i>
<i>  different things.</i>

663
00:23:06,862 --> 00:23:08,896
<i>  I use blue dent corn.</i>

664
00:23:08,898 --> 00:23:10,798
And everybody
that tries it goes,

665
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,733
"wow, that is amazing."

666
00:23:12,735 --> 00:23:14,868
fellars, 30 minutes left.

667
00:23:14,870 --> 00:23:16,770
[digger] damn,
that smells good.

668
00:23:16,772 --> 00:23:18,038
[peg leg] just mixing
the water around a little bit.

669
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:19,740
It's gonna turn out, leo.

670
00:23:19,742 --> 00:23:21,175
[digger] when it gets to
the right temperature,

671
00:23:21,177 --> 00:23:22,242
it'll take care of itself.

672
00:23:22,445 --> 00:23:22,910
150.

673
00:23:22,912 --> 00:23:24,445
150, on the money.

674
00:23:24,447 --> 00:23:26,880
I'm standing by someone
who is very confident

675
00:23:26,882 --> 00:23:27,681
in what he's doing.

676
00:23:27,683 --> 00:23:28,949
<i>  I'm all ears.</i>

677
00:23:28,951 --> 00:23:30,951
I just think he's a
<i> wealth of knowledge.</i>

678
00:23:30,953 --> 00:23:32,786
<i> I wanna learn what he's doing.</i>

679
00:23:32,788 --> 00:23:34,455
If you drink this
every morning...

680
00:23:34,457 --> 00:23:36,590
-You get younger?
-Definitely.

681
00:23:36,592 --> 00:23:38,826
[mike] a little bit more
of this magical stuff.

682
00:23:38,828 --> 00:23:40,694
Damn, that's gonna be
an honor to drink

683
00:23:40,696 --> 00:23:41,995
some of this liquor.

684
00:23:41,997 --> 00:23:43,831
Y'all's are on
the losing team!

685
00:23:43,833 --> 00:23:45,399
[laughing]

686
00:23:46,168 --> 00:23:47,668
now, I've been watching,

687
00:23:47,670 --> 00:23:48,836
and I tell you what,

688
00:23:48,838 --> 00:23:50,804
I believe they got
a good handle on it.

689
00:23:50,806 --> 00:23:51,872
Tim, mark, digger,

690
00:23:51,874 --> 00:23:53,207
why don't y'all head out

691
00:23:53,209 --> 00:23:55,442
and let these fellars
finish it up, all right?

692
00:23:55,444 --> 00:23:56,410
Go ahead, boss.

693
00:23:59,849 --> 00:24:00,981
Y'all know you're
gonna lose, right?

694
00:24:00,983 --> 00:24:02,983
Proof's in the pudding.

695
00:24:05,421 --> 00:24:07,187
[leo] you're close
to being done?

696
00:24:07,189 --> 00:24:09,089
Yeah, I'm gonna let her soak
and I'm gonna start dumping.

697
00:24:09,091 --> 00:24:11,291
[leo] I'm cooling it down,
pitcher 80.

698
00:24:11,293 --> 00:24:12,092
[tickle] all right, fellars,

699
00:24:12,094 --> 00:24:13,126
we're getting down to it.

700
00:24:13,128 --> 00:24:15,095
There are three minutes left.

701
00:24:15,097 --> 00:24:16,330
[mike] gotta get it cooler.

702
00:24:20,469 --> 00:24:21,301
[tickle] three...

703
00:24:22,071 --> 00:24:23,070
Two...

704
00:24:23,138 --> 00:24:24,004
And, one.

705
00:24:24,039 --> 00:24:26,073
All right, fellars,
drop your paddles.

706
00:24:26,809 --> 00:24:28,709
We'll see y'all in five days.

707
00:24:28,711 --> 00:24:30,077
-Sounds good.
-Good enough.

708
00:24:34,817 --> 00:24:36,283
[digger] welcome back, men.

709
00:24:37,019 --> 00:24:38,752
This, right here, gentlemen,

710
00:24:38,754 --> 00:24:39,953
is where you get
your redemption.

711
00:24:39,955 --> 00:24:41,588
This is where it lies.

712
00:24:41,590 --> 00:24:44,057
With your signature mash,
your run.

713
00:24:44,059 --> 00:24:46,059
Obviously, we all have
our horse in the race.

714
00:24:46,061 --> 00:24:48,095
And, since the last few times

715
00:24:48,097 --> 00:24:48,929
that we competed
against each other,

716
00:24:48,931 --> 00:24:50,964
we lost the trust.

717
00:24:50,966 --> 00:24:53,000
So, we're gonna bring in
some outside judges

718
00:24:53,002 --> 00:24:54,635
to be judging you.

719
00:24:54,637 --> 00:24:58,739
Do well, run slow,
and make us all proud.

720
00:24:58,741 --> 00:25:00,340
It's up to y'all what you
bring to the table.

721
00:25:00,342 --> 00:25:02,075
We want to see your best.

722
00:25:02,444 --> 00:25:04,244
Your time starts now, men.

723
00:25:04,246 --> 00:25:05,212
Good luck.

724
00:25:06,015 --> 00:25:07,281
We got this, big mike.

725
00:25:08,050 --> 00:25:08,815
Big w.

726
00:25:08,851 --> 00:25:10,551
Boys,

727
00:25:10,553 --> 00:25:12,953
I'mma go go ahead
and apologize to you now,

728
00:25:12,955 --> 00:25:15,222
I'm sorry you're fixed to take
the ass-whopping

729
00:25:15,224 --> 00:25:16,456
you're fixed to take.

730
00:25:17,793 --> 00:25:18,458
We'll see.

731
00:25:19,895 --> 00:25:21,762
-Peg leg.
-Yes, sir.

732
00:25:21,764 --> 00:25:22,863
How you feel
about it, brother?

733
00:25:22,865 --> 00:25:23,964
-Going good.
-You're, uh...

734
00:25:23,966 --> 00:25:26,099
Bringing out some
of the heavies.

735
00:25:26,101 --> 00:25:27,935
Still working a little good,
though, ain't it?

736
00:25:27,937 --> 00:25:29,036
Oh, yeah.

737
00:25:30,873 --> 00:25:31,972
Man.

738
00:25:31,974 --> 00:25:33,206
[peg leg] tastes good,
don't it?

739
00:25:33,208 --> 00:25:35,175
[digger giggling] yeah.

740
00:25:35,177 --> 00:25:37,311
Man, that's got a ton
of alcohol in it.

741
00:25:37,313 --> 00:25:38,078
Yes, it does.

742
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:39,179
-Good luck.
-Yes, sir. Thank you.

743
00:25:39,181 --> 00:25:41,214
I'm expecting big things
out of you.

744
00:25:41,216 --> 00:25:42,382
Great teamwork, man.

745
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:46,219
-[tim] leo.
-Yes, sir.

746
00:25:46,755 --> 00:25:47,421
Where you at?

747
00:25:47,423 --> 00:25:49,022
[leo] I'm mashing 10 gallons.

748
00:25:49,024 --> 00:25:51,458
-[tim] you don't need all that
stuff in there, right?
-No.

749
00:25:51,460 --> 00:25:52,926
Baobab got a lot of residue,
but...

750
00:25:52,928 --> 00:25:54,995
-[tim] yeah.
-[leo] ...It'll work out.

751
00:25:54,997 --> 00:25:56,997
Can I help get
this thing lit up?

752
00:25:56,999 --> 00:25:58,031
Can I do that for you?

753
00:25:58,033 --> 00:25:58,999
Yeah, you can do it.

754
00:25:59,001 --> 00:26:00,167
Yeah, thank you.

755
00:26:00,936 --> 00:26:01,401
Okay.

756
00:26:01,870 --> 00:26:03,136
All right.

757
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,074
You probably gonna start her
running pretty fast ,there.

758
00:26:07,076 --> 00:26:07,741
Yes.

759
00:26:07,743 --> 00:26:08,909
You ain't got a thumper.

760
00:26:08,911 --> 00:26:10,143
You just going
straight up the linem, or--?

761
00:26:10,145 --> 00:26:11,411
I'm just going straight up.

762
00:26:12,848 --> 00:26:14,181
-Big mike?
-Yes, sir.

763
00:26:14,183 --> 00:26:14,848
How you doing, boss?

764
00:26:14,850 --> 00:26:16,984
I'm happier than
a pig in slop.

765
00:26:16,986 --> 00:26:18,585
Think I'll do pretty good
this time, mark.

766
00:26:18,587 --> 00:26:20,120
I'm up to about right here.

767
00:26:20,122 --> 00:26:22,155
Got a gallon-and-a-half
in the thumper.

768
00:26:22,157 --> 00:26:22,923
Already got the fire going.

769
00:26:22,925 --> 00:26:24,992
You know here,
without a doubt,

770
00:26:24,994 --> 00:26:27,828
ain't either one of them boys
running the thumper,

771
00:26:27,830 --> 00:26:30,564
so they're gonna get hot
way before you do.

772
00:26:30,566 --> 00:26:31,331
-Oh, yeah.
-So...

773
00:26:31,333 --> 00:26:33,033
That's why I started
my fire early.

774
00:26:33,035 --> 00:26:34,201
Yeah, you know how to do this.

775
00:26:34,203 --> 00:26:34,935
Oh, yeah.

776
00:26:34,937 --> 00:26:36,069
-Good luck, boss.
-All right.

777
00:26:36,071 --> 00:26:37,871
I'm counting on you now,
I mean it.

778
00:26:37,873 --> 00:26:39,740
I'll see what I can do.

779
00:26:39,742 --> 00:26:42,242
[peg leg] should be in
about 120 now.

780
00:26:44,246 --> 00:26:45,746
I'm taking the full
four hours.

781
00:26:45,748 --> 00:26:46,947
Yeah.

782
00:26:46,949 --> 00:26:48,749
Yeah, this means a lot to me,
this redemption.

783
00:26:48,751 --> 00:26:50,217
I don't know what you guys
are gonna do,

784
00:26:50,219 --> 00:26:51,518
'cause you might need
another redemption.

785
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,787
[all laughing]

786
00:26:53,789 --> 00:26:57,224
all of them's gonna make
three of the best of the best.

787
00:26:57,226 --> 00:26:59,226
This mash is their
comfort zone.

788
00:26:59,228 --> 00:27:00,160
It's, uh...

789
00:27:00,162 --> 00:27:01,728
Throw water on, leo.

790
00:27:01,730 --> 00:27:03,063
...It's incredible.

791
00:27:03,065 --> 00:27:04,731
Yeah, water should be on.

792
00:27:04,733 --> 00:27:06,366
You got steam coming out.

793
00:27:07,302 --> 00:27:09,169
Start turning your
fire down, leo.

794
00:27:09,905 --> 00:27:11,104
[peg leg] there you go,
there you go.

795
00:27:11,106 --> 00:27:12,105
It's popping out.

796
00:27:12,141 --> 00:27:12,906
Oh, no.

797
00:27:12,908 --> 00:27:14,207
I'm puking.

798
00:27:15,077 --> 00:27:16,209
Start turning your fire down.

799
00:27:16,211 --> 00:27:17,844
[peg leg] there you go,
there you go.

800
00:27:17,846 --> 00:27:18,945
It's popping out.

801
00:27:18,947 --> 00:27:19,513
You're puking bad.

802
00:27:19,515 --> 00:27:20,080
Oh, no.

803
00:27:20,082 --> 00:27:21,748
[leo] my fire is too hot.

804
00:27:21,750 --> 00:27:23,150
Man, you're all over
the place.

805
00:27:23,152 --> 00:27:24,284
[mike] put a jar
underneath there.

806
00:27:24,286 --> 00:27:25,686
That's pure alcohol.

807
00:27:25,688 --> 00:27:27,254
[leo] yeah.

808
00:27:27,256 --> 00:27:28,755
<i> [leo] lot of things</i>
<i>  was running into my mind</i>

809
00:27:28,757 --> 00:27:31,224
when the mash was starting
to puke.

810
00:27:31,226 --> 00:27:33,827
I knew I had to turn down
all the flame

811
00:27:33,829 --> 00:27:35,762
and let it take its time.

812
00:27:35,764 --> 00:27:36,863
All right, all right,
all right.

813
00:27:36,865 --> 00:27:38,131
Yeah, we're good now.

814
00:27:38,133 --> 00:27:40,000
<i> [leo] going from the kettle</i>

815
00:27:40,002 --> 00:27:41,134
into the condenser,

816
00:27:41,136 --> 00:27:42,903
that's very short.

817
00:27:42,905 --> 00:27:44,705
<i>  So, liquid can overflow</i>

818
00:27:44,740 --> 00:27:45,872
<i>  and then rise up.</i>

819
00:27:45,874 --> 00:27:48,108
And, then, create bubble
inside the kettle.

820
00:27:48,110 --> 00:27:50,277
And, then, cause that thing
to puke.

821
00:27:50,913 --> 00:27:51,845
Leo, what is happening here?

822
00:27:51,847 --> 00:27:53,013
I think it was boiling
too hot.

823
00:27:53,015 --> 00:27:54,848
Yeah, that's the problem
if you don't have a doubler.

824
00:27:54,850 --> 00:27:56,650
-[leo] that's what it is.
-[tim] it's okay.

825
00:27:56,652 --> 00:27:58,885
-All you did was just
flush the system out.
-[leo] yeah.

826
00:27:58,887 --> 00:28:00,887
[tim] you just made sure
it was working right.

827
00:28:00,889 --> 00:28:02,422
-[leo] right.
-[tim giggling]

828
00:28:03,292 --> 00:28:04,925
holdin' steady at 160.

829
00:28:04,927 --> 00:28:06,293
Gotta go up.

830
00:28:07,896 --> 00:28:09,429
Oh, she's a-raising
cain now, fellars.

831
00:28:09,732 --> 00:28:11,131
Yeah.

832
00:28:11,133 --> 00:28:12,399
I love going to
thumpers and...

833
00:28:13,202 --> 00:28:14,267
Ah!

834
00:28:14,269 --> 00:28:15,469
You got alcohol.

835
00:28:18,941 --> 00:28:19,940
It's good.

836
00:28:19,942 --> 00:28:21,842
It won't be long now.

837
00:28:21,844 --> 00:28:23,877
[mark] I know as mike could
start running later.

838
00:28:23,879 --> 00:28:26,079
He's the only one
using the thumper.

839
00:28:26,849 --> 00:28:28,181
Yeah, he has a whole lot
farther to go.

840
00:28:28,183 --> 00:28:29,015
[mark] right.

841
00:28:30,085 --> 00:28:31,685
[mike] feeling pretty good
right now.

842
00:28:31,687 --> 00:28:32,853
I can smell it.

843
00:28:32,855 --> 00:28:34,154
[mike] you thinking
that's the one?

844
00:28:34,723 --> 00:28:35,422
You smelling it?

845
00:28:36,892 --> 00:28:37,991
It's coming out, buddy.

846
00:28:37,993 --> 00:28:38,558
Let's go look.

847
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:39,392
Hour-and-a-half.

848
00:28:42,965 --> 00:28:44,364
[leo] at any rate,
it's pretty clear.

849
00:28:45,467 --> 00:28:47,134
Every drip counts, leo.

850
00:28:47,136 --> 00:28:48,835
Every single one of 'em.

851
00:28:48,837 --> 00:28:50,003
Leo's baobab brandy,

852
00:28:50,005 --> 00:28:52,839
<i>  you cannot buy this stuff</i>
<i>  anywhere in the country.</i>

853
00:28:52,841 --> 00:28:54,474
This could help us.
This could hurt us.

854
00:28:55,878 --> 00:28:57,377
How about a little
smell there, peg?

855
00:28:57,379 --> 00:28:58,445
Sure.

856
00:28:58,447 --> 00:29:00,313
I'll let my partner
take a smell.

857
00:29:03,452 --> 00:29:05,018
Holy mackerel.

858
00:29:05,020 --> 00:29:06,019
Getting better as
the jars come out.

859
00:29:06,021 --> 00:29:07,754
Oh, I'm telling you.

860
00:29:07,756 --> 00:29:09,456
Wait till the third
and fourth come out.

861
00:29:09,458 --> 00:29:10,957
I don't know if
I can stand it.

862
00:29:10,959 --> 00:29:13,426
<i> [digger] you know, I'm more</i>
<i>  than confident with peg leg.</i>

863
00:29:13,428 --> 00:29:15,061
I know what blue corn
brings to the table

864
00:29:15,063 --> 00:29:16,730
when it comes to liquor.

865
00:29:16,732 --> 00:29:18,999
It's super sweet, super tasty.

866
00:29:19,001 --> 00:29:20,667
I just hope these
judges can see

867
00:29:20,669 --> 00:29:22,769
how marketable this liquor is.

868
00:29:22,771 --> 00:29:25,105
Well, like I would say,
proof's in the pudding.

869
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:26,773
You taste my guy's pudding,

870
00:29:26,775 --> 00:29:28,875
you're gonna throw yours
out the window.

871
00:29:28,877 --> 00:29:32,445
Well, when big mike brings
that jar to the table,

872
00:29:32,447 --> 00:29:35,749
all your hopes and dreams
are gonna fly away.

873
00:29:35,751 --> 00:29:36,917
I'm just glad that we got some

874
00:29:36,919 --> 00:29:38,952
judges coming from outside

875
00:29:38,954 --> 00:29:41,822
to really give us
the true story here.

876
00:29:41,824 --> 00:29:42,923
20 minutes, gentlemen.

877
00:29:42,925 --> 00:29:45,158
[mark] you gonna get to
what we need, big mike?

878
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,994
Yes, sir. I'm mixing
the jar up right now.

879
00:29:48,096 --> 00:29:48,995
[leo] whatever happens,

880
00:29:48,997 --> 00:29:50,864
it's been an honor

881
00:29:50,866 --> 00:29:52,165
being here,
sitting with you guys.

882
00:29:52,167 --> 00:29:53,133
I'm fine.

883
00:29:53,135 --> 00:29:54,234
Yeah.

884
00:29:54,937 --> 00:29:56,036
[leo] I think I'm ready.

885
00:29:56,038 --> 00:29:57,904
The liquid was so clean,

886
00:29:57,906 --> 00:29:59,172
it was just incredible.

887
00:29:59,441 --> 00:29:59,873
[tim] that it, leo?

888
00:29:59,875 --> 00:30:00,774
That's it.

889
00:30:01,043 --> 00:30:03,109
<i> [leo] I felt good</i>
<i>  dropping that jar.</i>

890
00:30:03,111 --> 00:30:04,911
Pretty clear liquor.

891
00:30:04,913 --> 00:30:05,912
<i> [leo] I'm very excited</i>

892
00:30:05,914 --> 00:30:07,981
<i> finally to unveil to the world</i>

893
00:30:07,983 --> 00:30:09,816
<i>  what the baobab tastes like.</i>

894
00:30:09,818 --> 00:30:11,084
You'll never get
anything like that.

895
00:30:11,086 --> 00:30:12,853
That's what I'm talking about.

896
00:30:12,855 --> 00:30:14,821
Head on back over
to your station,

897
00:30:14,823 --> 00:30:16,289
we got guest judges coming in

898
00:30:16,291 --> 00:30:17,924
and then we're gonna
get out of here.

899
00:30:17,926 --> 00:30:18,458
All right.

900
00:30:19,294 --> 00:30:19,659
Good luck, buddy.

901
00:30:19,661 --> 00:30:21,194
Yep.

902
00:30:21,196 --> 00:30:23,063
<i> [peg leg] what I'm hoping</i>
<i>  the judges get from my spirit</i>

903
00:30:23,065 --> 00:30:24,164
is the smell,

904
00:30:24,166 --> 00:30:25,932
the flavor and then the taste.

905
00:30:25,934 --> 00:30:28,101
<i>  Delicious blue corn.</i>

906
00:30:28,103 --> 00:30:29,769
<i>  And, how it all</i>
<i>  combines together,</i>

907
00:30:29,771 --> 00:30:30,937
<i>  it's very mellow.</i>

908
00:30:30,939 --> 00:30:32,005
I think it's pretty good.

909
00:30:32,374 --> 00:30:33,173
Boys.

910
00:30:33,208 --> 00:30:34,975
[digger] there
is the winning jar.

911
00:30:34,977 --> 00:30:35,675
Good luck, peg.

912
00:30:35,677 --> 00:30:36,810
Yes, sir.

913
00:30:37,646 --> 00:30:39,779
<i> [mike] I think that's</i>
<i>  the winning jar, right there.</i>

914
00:30:39,781 --> 00:30:43,116
Triple-grain with the honey
and the sour mash,

915
00:30:43,118 --> 00:30:46,119
it's hard to beat
something that good.

916
00:30:46,288 --> 00:30:49,122
Three, two, one.

917
00:30:49,124 --> 00:30:49,890
[thuds]

918
00:30:49,892 --> 00:30:51,024
[laughing]

919
00:30:51,026 --> 00:30:52,058
[mark] there's my man

920
00:30:52,060 --> 00:30:52,893
bringing in the winning jar.

921
00:30:52,895 --> 00:30:53,860
[mike] that's right.

922
00:30:53,962 --> 00:30:56,162
<i> [mark] big mike says</i>
<i>  that his sour mash</i>

923
00:30:56,164 --> 00:30:58,131
is what makes his
triple-grain whiskey

924
00:30:58,133 --> 00:30:59,833
his best seller.

925
00:30:59,835 --> 00:31:00,834
<i>  I've tasted this stuff.</i>

926
00:31:00,836 --> 00:31:02,102
It is incredible.

927
00:31:02,104 --> 00:31:04,337
I hope the judges
feel the same way.

928
00:31:04,339 --> 00:31:04,971
But, I'll tell you what,

929
00:31:04,973 --> 00:31:05,972
we got three guys,

930
00:31:05,974 --> 00:31:08,241
two of them know
about redemption.

931
00:31:08,243 --> 00:31:09,910
One knows more about
high dollar liquor,

932
00:31:09,912 --> 00:31:12,379
than jack rabbit knows
about rum.

933
00:31:12,381 --> 00:31:13,914
So, we're gonna leave you
in y'all's hands.

934
00:31:13,916 --> 00:31:16,082
Good luck to every damn
one of you.

935
00:31:16,084 --> 00:31:17,884
-Yeah, let's go, guys.
-Good luck, boys.

936
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,954
Peg, leo, big mike,

937
00:31:20,956 --> 00:31:23,890
if it's possible,
I'm rooting for all of you.

938
00:31:23,892 --> 00:31:25,225
[whispering] especially you.

939
00:31:25,427 --> 00:31:26,459
[inaudible]

940
00:31:27,930 --> 00:31:29,062
oh, my god.

941
00:31:29,064 --> 00:31:30,363
This is fantastic.

942
00:31:31,967 --> 00:31:33,333
[laughing]

943
00:31:34,303 --> 00:31:36,136
[tickle] how's it
going, fellars?

944
00:31:36,171 --> 00:31:37,237
All right.

945
00:31:39,041 --> 00:31:40,006
My name is tickle.

946
00:31:40,008 --> 00:31:42,108
Y'all have met me before.

947
00:31:42,110 --> 00:31:44,844
There's one thing I know
about in my life,

948
00:31:44,846 --> 00:31:45,912
it's redemption.

949
00:31:45,948 --> 00:31:46,846
I'm tim jones.

950
00:31:46,848 --> 00:31:48,882
I've been fortunate enough
to work on

951
00:31:48,884 --> 00:31:50,917
some of the biggest
and most sought after

952
00:31:50,919 --> 00:31:52,452
american whiskeys.

953
00:31:52,454 --> 00:31:54,087
I'm also a bar owner.

954
00:31:54,089 --> 00:31:55,588
So, I'm looking
at these spirits

955
00:31:55,590 --> 00:31:56,957
and trynna figure out,

956
00:31:56,959 --> 00:31:59,025
is this something bartenders
can get excited about,

957
00:31:59,027 --> 00:31:59,993
things like that.

958
00:31:59,995 --> 00:32:02,195
I'm jb rader, the legend.

959
00:32:08,971 --> 00:32:10,003
We have three judges.

960
00:32:10,005 --> 00:32:12,105
We have jb rader, the legend.

961
00:32:12,107 --> 00:32:14,808
Golden tounged tim jones.

962
00:32:14,810 --> 00:32:15,775
Of course, there's tickle.

963
00:32:15,777 --> 00:32:16,910
I don't think tickle's ever

964
00:32:16,912 --> 00:32:18,645
met a jar of liquor
he didn't like.

965
00:32:18,647 --> 00:32:20,780
<i>  It's just incredible.</i>

966
00:32:20,782 --> 00:32:23,016
We are here to declare
one winner.

967
00:32:23,018 --> 00:32:25,018
So, with that being said,

968
00:32:25,020 --> 00:32:26,453
we're gonna ask you
all guys to leave.

969
00:32:26,822 --> 00:32:27,754
All right.

970
00:32:27,756 --> 00:32:29,422
-Good luck, guys.
-Thank you.

971
00:32:31,026 --> 00:32:32,959
All right, now there's only
one thing to do,

972
00:32:32,961 --> 00:32:34,694
which is taste them.

973
00:32:34,696 --> 00:32:36,363
-You're right about that.
-Yeah.

974
00:32:38,767 --> 00:32:40,667
You seldom get
a chance at redemption.

975
00:32:40,669 --> 00:32:42,102
It's been really fun

976
00:32:42,104 --> 00:32:45,805
and it's good to see
all three of you guys again.

977
00:32:45,807 --> 00:32:48,008
I wish the best
for all of you.

978
00:32:48,010 --> 00:32:50,176
All right, we got peg leg
up here, first.

979
00:32:51,013 --> 00:32:52,012
It looks good.

980
00:32:52,014 --> 00:32:53,146
What do you reckon right here?

981
00:32:53,148 --> 00:32:54,948
[jb] about 105.

982
00:32:54,950 --> 00:32:56,082
That's what I was thinking.

983
00:32:56,284 --> 00:32:57,050
You nervous?

984
00:32:57,085 --> 00:32:58,251
Nah.

985
00:32:58,253 --> 00:33:00,020
I'm steady as a rock here.

986
00:33:00,022 --> 00:33:01,888
I see that.

987
00:33:01,890 --> 00:33:04,057
It's good and clear.
It's floral.

988
00:33:04,092 --> 00:33:05,358
It is nice on the nose.

989
00:33:08,764 --> 00:33:09,829
It's pretty smooth.

990
00:33:09,831 --> 00:33:12,098
The rye is coming through
pretty nicely.

991
00:33:12,100 --> 00:33:13,933
It gives it that nice
peppery punch.

992
00:33:13,935 --> 00:33:14,734
[jones] yeah.

993
00:33:14,736 --> 00:33:15,969
But, now, the blue corn,

994
00:33:15,971 --> 00:33:16,870
I'm getting a sweet note from.

995
00:33:16,872 --> 00:33:17,704
Oh, yeah.

996
00:33:17,706 --> 00:33:18,905
I think it's pretty balanced.

997
00:33:18,907 --> 00:33:20,707
It needed a good corn,
too, out there.

998
00:33:20,709 --> 00:33:22,442
-That's the thing,
it's like...
-Yeah.

999
00:33:22,444 --> 00:33:24,077
-...If you know your
corn whiskey...
-Yeah.

1000
00:33:24,079 --> 00:33:25,779
...You know this
is a great one.

1001
00:33:25,781 --> 00:33:26,913
-Yeah, it is.
-Yes.

1002
00:33:26,915 --> 00:33:28,882
I think it's, like,
general enough

1003
00:33:28,884 --> 00:33:29,983
to where you could use it

1004
00:33:29,985 --> 00:33:31,985
as a base in
a bunch of cocktails.

1005
00:33:31,987 --> 00:33:32,852
-Yeah.
-Good marketability.

1006
00:33:32,854 --> 00:33:34,220
Yeah.

1007
00:33:34,222 --> 00:33:36,022
[tickle] all right,
fellars, leo.

1008
00:33:36,024 --> 00:33:38,024
He's close to 100.

1009
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,160
I'm really anxious
to taste this.

1010
00:33:40,162 --> 00:33:41,428
It's called a baobab.

1011
00:33:41,430 --> 00:33:42,829
We may be

1012
00:33:42,831 --> 00:33:46,633
some of the first people
to ever taste this distill.

1013
00:33:46,635 --> 00:33:48,201
Yeah, I'm looking forward
to this.

1014
00:33:48,203 --> 00:33:49,836
It's like the story
is already there.

1015
00:33:49,838 --> 00:33:50,904
-We're already talking
about it, you know.
-The tree of life.

1016
00:33:50,906 --> 00:33:52,572
I mean, yeah.

1017
00:33:52,574 --> 00:33:54,841
This is something I've been
working for a long time.

1018
00:33:54,843 --> 00:33:56,876
I'm probably the first guy
to ever try this.

1019
00:33:56,878 --> 00:33:59,112
It's got a distinct aroma.

1020
00:34:00,682 --> 00:34:01,614
Definitely fruit forward.

1021
00:34:01,616 --> 00:34:03,883
You can tell it's
forward brandy.

1022
00:34:03,885 --> 00:34:06,252
[tickle] almost a cross
between a tangerine

1023
00:34:06,254 --> 00:34:07,921
and a pear.

1024
00:34:07,923 --> 00:34:08,955
It tastes good.

1025
00:34:08,957 --> 00:34:10,790
I'll tell you what,

1026
00:34:10,792 --> 00:34:13,927
that just over ice right
there would be amazing.

1027
00:34:13,929 --> 00:34:15,962
It would be fantastic.

1028
00:34:15,964 --> 00:34:17,764
It would make a great
cocktail, too.

1029
00:34:17,766 --> 00:34:22,068
It's very good to
show this to the world,

1030
00:34:22,070 --> 00:34:24,104
what the baobab represents.

1031
00:34:24,139 --> 00:34:25,371
Big mike's.

1032
00:34:27,042 --> 00:34:29,142
-Maybe about 95.
-Yeah.

1033
00:34:29,144 --> 00:34:30,977
-But, still great proof.
-Oh, yeah.

1034
00:34:30,979 --> 00:34:34,781
And, a sour mash is gonna be
your best liquor.

1035
00:34:34,783 --> 00:34:36,049
'cause you done already got

1036
00:34:36,051 --> 00:34:38,318
the first couple of real
grainy runs

1037
00:34:38,820 --> 00:34:39,919
out of the way.

1038
00:34:39,921 --> 00:34:41,254
Whatever they say,

1039
00:34:41,256 --> 00:34:41,921
I'll be good with it

1040
00:34:41,923 --> 00:34:43,223
as long as you win.

1041
00:34:43,225 --> 00:34:45,725
Oh, I'll be good with it
as long as I win, too.

1042
00:34:45,727 --> 00:34:46,359
As long as you win.

1043
00:34:47,996 --> 00:34:49,195
-Lot of honey.
-Yeah.

1044
00:34:49,197 --> 00:34:50,663
It's almost a molasses

1045
00:34:50,665 --> 00:34:51,931
which is unique as well.

1046
00:34:51,933 --> 00:34:53,967
Got a little fire to it
on my tongue, right now.

1047
00:34:53,969 --> 00:34:55,602
But on the tail end.

1048
00:34:55,604 --> 00:34:56,803
-I like the little finish
on it.
-Yes.

1049
00:34:56,805 --> 00:34:59,005
If it was just smooth
and went away,

1050
00:34:59,007 --> 00:35:01,007
-I feel like I'd
be disappointed.
-[jones] yeah.

1051
00:35:01,042 --> 00:35:01,908
I'd drink it.

1052
00:35:01,910 --> 00:35:02,775
It's so honey forward,

1053
00:35:02,777 --> 00:35:04,010
you can mix it with anything

1054
00:35:04,012 --> 00:35:06,012
that has heavy
simple syrup in it.

1055
00:35:06,014 --> 00:35:06,913
It would stand out.

1056
00:35:06,915 --> 00:35:08,715
If we win, I don't know
how I'll feel.

1057
00:35:08,717 --> 00:35:10,550
Hell, I ain't never won, so.

1058
00:35:10,552 --> 00:35:12,986
-I haven't won either.
-[both laugh]

1059
00:35:12,988 --> 00:35:14,654
we've got a tough
decision here, fellars.

1060
00:35:14,689 --> 00:35:15,688
Tim.

1061
00:35:15,891 --> 00:35:18,291
Well, I gotta base my decision
on marketability.

1062
00:35:18,293 --> 00:35:19,125
I think it comes down to that,

1063
00:35:19,127 --> 00:35:21,761
because taste
and craftsmanship,

1064
00:35:21,763 --> 00:35:22,962
-they're all great.
-Yeah.

1065
00:35:22,964 --> 00:35:26,032
This is definitely
the hardest one I've judged.
By far.

1066
00:35:26,034 --> 00:35:27,100
-Oh, yeah.
-Yeah.

1067
00:35:27,102 --> 00:35:29,035
Hell, boys,
this is redemption.

1068
00:35:29,037 --> 00:35:30,036
They all good.

1069
00:35:30,038 --> 00:35:32,038
They come out perfect

1070
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,174
in their own flavors.

1071
00:35:34,176 --> 00:35:36,910
I can't agree more, jb.

1072
00:35:36,912 --> 00:35:38,778
Well, guys,
I'm gonna tell you,

1073
00:35:38,780 --> 00:35:41,014
ain't nobody going home
a loser,

1074
00:35:41,016 --> 00:35:42,916
but there's only gonna be
one number one.

1075
00:35:42,918 --> 00:35:44,083
No doubt.

1076
00:35:44,119 --> 00:35:45,451
<i> [narrator] coming up...</i>

1077
00:35:45,453 --> 00:35:47,687
I've judged several of these

1078
00:35:47,689 --> 00:35:49,923
and this was definitely
the hardest job I've had.

1079
00:35:49,925 --> 00:35:53,159
There was no easy
decision here.

1080
00:35:57,899 --> 00:35:58,965
I feel very grateful
for coming back here.

1081
00:35:58,967 --> 00:36:00,466
I'd be really honored

1082
00:36:00,468 --> 00:36:01,834
if you all would sign my leg.

1083
00:36:01,836 --> 00:36:03,937
Roll them up.
Get those breeches legs up,
we'll get with it.

1084
00:36:03,939 --> 00:36:05,772
[mark] match it
off of there, boss.

1085
00:36:05,774 --> 00:36:07,907
[peg leg] I can't walk
around without it.

1086
00:36:07,909 --> 00:36:08,875
[mike] well, that's why they
call him 'peg leg'.

1087
00:36:08,877 --> 00:36:10,210
See that?

1088
00:36:11,646 --> 00:36:13,980
Oh, wee! It don't smell
really bad.

1089
00:36:13,982 --> 00:36:15,748
No, it smells like beer,
don't it?

1090
00:36:15,784 --> 00:36:16,749
Yeah.

1091
00:36:16,818 --> 00:36:18,117
I've had a lot of people
drink out of that leg.

1092
00:36:18,119 --> 00:36:19,986
Well, they're desperate
for a drink, huh?

1093
00:36:19,988 --> 00:36:21,454
Tickle and who else?

1094
00:36:21,456 --> 00:36:22,989
[all laughing]

1095
00:36:22,991 --> 00:36:25,124
I guess they use a long straw.

1096
00:36:25,927 --> 00:36:28,094
Are you gonna retire
this leg, peg?

1097
00:36:28,597 --> 00:36:30,363
When they tell me I have to.

1098
00:36:30,365 --> 00:36:31,931
What do you got,
still steel-toe boots in it?

1099
00:36:31,933 --> 00:36:32,732
[shushes]

1100
00:36:32,734 --> 00:36:34,834
it's a safety measure.

1101
00:36:34,836 --> 00:36:36,970
[mike] I've never signed
nobody's leg before.

1102
00:36:36,972 --> 00:36:38,671
[peg leg] there's a first
for everything.

1103
00:36:38,673 --> 00:36:40,206
That's exactly right.

1104
00:36:41,943 --> 00:36:44,344
-That's really...
-[all laughing]

1105
00:36:48,083 --> 00:36:50,316
all right, fellars, I got 'em.

1106
00:36:51,753 --> 00:36:53,219
Six moonshine masters,

1107
00:36:53,221 --> 00:36:55,054
as far as I'm concerned,
right there.

1108
00:36:55,056 --> 00:36:56,823
Yeah, exactly.

1109
00:36:56,825 --> 00:36:58,224
All right, fellars,

1110
00:36:58,660 --> 00:37:01,861
there was no easy
decision here.

1111
00:37:01,863 --> 00:37:05,331
Y'all have all
redeemed yourselves greatly.

1112
00:37:06,101 --> 00:37:08,301
We'll start off over here
with peg leg.

1113
00:37:08,603 --> 00:37:10,036
Tell you what,

1114
00:37:10,038 --> 00:37:12,038
never tasted any liquor
made with blue corn.

1115
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:15,575
I could taste
a huge difference.

1116
00:37:15,577 --> 00:37:18,244
The sweet notes
coming off of that

1117
00:37:18,246 --> 00:37:20,680
combined with your grains
that you put in there

1118
00:37:20,682 --> 00:37:22,749
was absolutely amazing.

1119
00:37:22,751 --> 00:37:25,118
Yeah, you've
done yourself proud.

1120
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,820
That blue corn is exceptional.

1121
00:37:27,822 --> 00:37:29,455
That rye come in peppery,

1122
00:37:30,158 --> 00:37:31,991
you've done a great job.

1123
00:37:31,993 --> 00:37:33,026
Thank you.

1124
00:37:33,028 --> 00:37:34,794
I agree, it's a great whiskey.

1125
00:37:34,796 --> 00:37:37,196
It was nice and sweet,
but balanced.

1126
00:37:37,198 --> 00:37:39,599
I think our bartenders will be
really excited to

1127
00:37:39,601 --> 00:37:41,034
have people try it.

1128
00:37:41,036 --> 00:37:43,002
You know,
just an exceptional spirit.

1129
00:37:43,004 --> 00:37:45,271
-Great job.
-Thank you.

1130
00:37:48,910 --> 00:37:51,144
That brings us here to leo.

1131
00:37:51,146 --> 00:37:52,879
I'll tell you what, leo,

1132
00:37:52,881 --> 00:37:55,081
first time you were here,

1133
00:37:55,083 --> 00:37:58,051
you never made it to make
your signature run.

1134
00:37:58,053 --> 00:37:59,185
And I'll tell you what,

1135
00:37:59,187 --> 00:38:00,820
from what we've tasted today,

1136
00:38:00,822 --> 00:38:03,289
had you got to that point,

1137
00:38:03,291 --> 00:38:04,924
that would've been
something amazing.

1138
00:38:04,926 --> 00:38:08,761
I expected more citrus
out of it by the smell.

1139
00:38:08,763 --> 00:38:11,664
But it had this wonderful
mild note to it.

1140
00:38:11,666 --> 00:38:14,033
All I can say is great job.

1141
00:38:15,136 --> 00:38:19,105
I've never heard of the fruit
in my whole life till this,

1142
00:38:19,107 --> 00:38:21,174
and it's good on the palate.

1143
00:38:21,176 --> 00:38:22,842
You've done a real great job.

1144
00:38:22,844 --> 00:38:23,810
[leo] thank you.

1145
00:38:23,812 --> 00:38:25,044
[jones] I think
it's really interesting.

1146
00:38:25,046 --> 00:38:27,447
It was, like,
fruit forward brandy,

1147
00:38:27,449 --> 00:38:29,615
it's exactly what
I was hoping for.

1148
00:38:29,617 --> 00:38:31,951
But I also think
you can't just

1149
00:38:31,953 --> 00:38:33,986
market something or
put something on the shelf

1150
00:38:33,988 --> 00:38:35,021
because it's interesting,

1151
00:38:35,023 --> 00:38:36,589
it's gotta be great.

1152
00:38:36,591 --> 00:38:39,092
-And, you've achieved both.
-Thank you.

1153
00:38:39,094 --> 00:38:41,461
All right, well, that
brings us to big mike.

1154
00:38:41,796 --> 00:38:42,795
Now, big mike,

1155
00:38:42,797 --> 00:38:44,797
when you get to
your sour mash,

1156
00:38:44,799 --> 00:38:48,334
that brings the note that
most everybody likes.

1157
00:38:48,336 --> 00:38:49,969
That was a smart move
on your part.

1158
00:38:49,971 --> 00:38:52,171
And a lot of people have

1159
00:38:52,173 --> 00:38:54,006
head-busting liquor
when it comes to honey.

1160
00:38:54,008 --> 00:38:55,575
I'll tell you what,

1161
00:38:55,577 --> 00:38:58,010
you whopped that dog
before it ever got here.

1162
00:38:58,012 --> 00:39:00,012
All I can say is all around,
great job.

1163
00:39:00,014 --> 00:39:00,913
Thank you.

1164
00:39:00,915 --> 00:39:02,081
That honeycomb, too.

1165
00:39:02,083 --> 00:39:02,915
It wasn't harsh,

1166
00:39:02,917 --> 00:39:05,051
and that was good and smooth.

1167
00:39:05,053 --> 00:39:06,819
And, you've done
an excellent job, too.

1168
00:39:06,821 --> 00:39:07,787
Thank you.

1169
00:39:07,789 --> 00:39:09,856
Big mike, I tasted
that whiskey

1170
00:39:09,858 --> 00:39:10,990
over and over and over,

1171
00:39:10,992 --> 00:39:12,425
it's really, really good.

1172
00:39:12,427 --> 00:39:14,427
It's nice and sweet, smooth.

1173
00:39:14,429 --> 00:39:15,628
When I think about

1174
00:39:15,630 --> 00:39:17,029
if I was gonna put that
in the back of the bar,

1175
00:39:17,031 --> 00:39:18,431
or try to go to
market with it,

1176
00:39:18,433 --> 00:39:21,100
honey's a really
popular flavor.

1177
00:39:21,102 --> 00:39:23,102
-People really love
a nice honey whiskey.
-Thank you.

1178
00:39:23,838 --> 00:39:24,437
Excellent job.

1179
00:39:25,106 --> 00:39:26,005
Thank you.

1180
00:39:26,074 --> 00:39:27,540
All right, fellars,

1181
00:39:27,542 --> 00:39:29,308
not only did we have

1182
00:39:29,310 --> 00:39:33,079
three good moonshiners
here making moonshine.

1183
00:39:33,081 --> 00:39:34,447
Y'all also had

1184
00:39:34,449 --> 00:39:37,417
a moonshine magician
right beside you.

1185
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:40,386
The combination of all that

1186
00:39:40,855 --> 00:39:42,622
really made this

1187
00:39:42,624 --> 00:39:43,723
one of the toughest decisions

1188
00:39:43,725 --> 00:39:47,093
I've honestly ever had
to make in my life.

1189
00:39:47,095 --> 00:39:49,829
-And I believe these guys
will agree with me.
-Oh, yeah.

1190
00:39:49,831 --> 00:39:51,397
[tickle] that being said...

1191
00:39:54,569 --> 00:39:56,469
You want me to tell y'all
today or tomorrow?

1192
00:39:57,972 --> 00:40:00,706
-[all laughing]
-well, tomorrow'd be good.

1193
00:40:00,708 --> 00:40:03,042
Now that I got
all of y'all smiling,

1194
00:40:03,845 --> 00:40:06,078
leo, you
<i> are the master distiller.</i>

1195
00:40:06,748 --> 00:40:08,448
[all cheering]

1196
00:40:08,450 --> 00:40:10,016
[tim] way to go, leo!

1197
00:40:10,251 --> 00:40:11,884
Way to go, man.

1198
00:40:11,886 --> 00:40:14,053
I took the risk to go ahead

1199
00:40:14,055 --> 00:40:16,022
and see if the judge can find

1200
00:40:16,024 --> 00:40:17,824
the goodness of the baobab.

1201
00:40:17,826 --> 00:40:20,760
<i>  It was worth it</i>
<i>  to take that risk.</i>

1202
00:40:20,762 --> 00:40:23,796
It felt absolutely amazing
to share,

1203
00:40:23,798 --> 00:40:25,031
you know, a piece of me,

1204
00:40:25,033 --> 00:40:27,066
a piece of our history,

1205
00:40:27,068 --> 00:40:28,734
<i>  a piece of my country,</i>

1206
00:40:28,736 --> 00:40:30,102
<i>  to the rest of the world.</i>

1207
00:40:30,104 --> 00:40:31,871
<i> I don't know what else to say.</i>

1208
00:40:31,873 --> 00:40:32,705
It's just incredible.

1209
00:40:32,707 --> 00:40:35,641
I've judged several of these.

1210
00:40:35,643 --> 00:40:38,010
And, this was definitely
the hardest job I've had.

1211
00:40:38,012 --> 00:40:39,712
But, leo,
there's something there

1212
00:40:39,714 --> 00:40:41,814
that's, like,
really interesting

1213
00:40:41,816 --> 00:40:43,683
that we can get behind
and bring it to market.

1214
00:40:43,685 --> 00:40:44,684
I think it's great.

1215
00:40:44,686 --> 00:40:46,319
-Congratulations, everybody.
-[all clapping]

1216
00:40:47,689 --> 00:40:48,988
thank you, thank you,
thank you, thank you.

1217
00:40:48,990 --> 00:40:50,122
-Congratulations.
-Thank you very much.

1218
00:40:50,124 --> 00:40:51,691
-Yes, sir.
-Thank you.

1219
00:40:51,693 --> 00:40:53,960
Now, we tried,
didn't we, boss?

1220
00:40:53,962 --> 00:40:56,028
Yeah, it kind of hurt
my feelings

1221
00:40:56,030 --> 00:40:56,929
just a little bit,

1222
00:40:56,931 --> 00:40:59,432
you know, it ought to be
about my turn.

1223
00:40:59,434 --> 00:41:02,134
<i>  But I don't consider myself</i>
<i>  and mike losers.</i>

1224
00:41:02,136 --> 00:41:03,870
I'm very much a winner.

1225
00:41:03,872 --> 00:41:05,972
I got to do this with mike.

1226
00:41:05,974 --> 00:41:09,876
He just showed
exquisite ability.

1227
00:41:09,878 --> 00:41:12,078
If I had this
three here fellars,

1228
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:14,447
I'd purchase all in it.

1229
00:41:14,449 --> 00:41:15,815
I'll tell y'all what, fellars,

1230
00:41:15,817 --> 00:41:17,149
this liquor
is so damn good,

1231
00:41:17,151 --> 00:41:18,684
why don't we grab
these three jars,

1232
00:41:18,686 --> 00:41:19,919
head out here to the bar

1233
00:41:19,921 --> 00:41:21,621
and all of us have
a good drink together?

1234
00:41:21,623 --> 00:41:22,889
I'll coat these,

1235
00:41:22,891 --> 00:41:25,091
that way they don't
get lost, all right?

1236
00:41:25,460 --> 00:41:27,126
I got your liquors.
