1
00:00:00,878 --> 00:00:01,977
Damn!
2
00:00:01,979 --> 00:00:04,146
[jeremy]
this time on master distill.
3
00:00:04,148 --> 00:00:05,247
Fire in the hole.
4
00:00:05,249 --> 00:00:06,548
[jeremy]
rise and shine.
5
00:00:06,550 --> 00:00:09,351
Gonna make a little
breakfast-influenced liquor.
6
00:00:09,353 --> 00:00:10,552
Anyone donut?
7
00:00:10,554 --> 00:00:13,255
[jeremy] the legal
and illegal liquor market
8
00:00:13,257 --> 00:00:16,658
Has been cashing in
on everyone's love
of breakfast.
9
00:00:16,660 --> 00:00:17,959
Blueberry pancakes.
10
00:00:17,961 --> 00:00:19,995
He tried to hit you
right in wheelhouse.
11
00:00:19,997 --> 00:00:23,899
[jeremy] now three distiller
will turn america's
favorite meal...
12
00:00:23,934 --> 00:00:25,000
Breakfast liquor.
13
00:00:25,102 --> 00:00:26,535
Sounds like something
tickle would dig.
14
00:00:26,537 --> 00:00:29,171
[jeremy]
...Into a backwoods
breakfast of champions.
15
00:00:29,173 --> 00:00:30,505
Makes me want
to get out of bed.
16
00:00:30,607 --> 00:00:31,807
They make you want
to get back in bed.
17
00:00:31,875 --> 00:00:34,242
[jeremy] to determine
who has what it takes.
18
00:00:34,244 --> 00:00:37,079
So you get some competition
ahead of you.
19
00:00:37,147 --> 00:00:39,381
[jeremy]
to be named master distiller
20
00:00:39,450 --> 00:00:40,582
I didn't bring no b game.
21
00:00:40,651 --> 00:00:41,650
Bon appetite.
22
00:00:41,652 --> 00:00:42,717
He's on the money.
23
00:00:55,799 --> 00:00:58,066
All right, men, welcome
to master distiller.
24
00:00:58,068 --> 00:01:00,402
We're going to find out
at the end of this competition
25
00:01:00,470 --> 00:01:03,772
Which one of you all truly
is the master distiller
out of your flight.
26
00:01:03,774 --> 00:01:05,707
If you win, you're going
to get your bragging rights.
27
00:01:05,809 --> 00:01:07,242
And you'll also
get a limited run
28
00:01:07,244 --> 00:01:08,977
Of your liquor
at a major distillery.
29
00:01:09,046 --> 00:01:10,779
It's a pretty big deal.
30
00:01:10,881 --> 00:01:12,114
Good as gold.
31
00:01:12,116 --> 00:01:15,584
We're gonna make
a little breakfast-influenced
liquor.
32
00:01:15,685 --> 00:01:18,053
And make breakfast
good all day long.
33
00:01:18,055 --> 00:01:19,387
Now, when you think about it,
34
00:01:19,456 --> 00:01:21,990
Whiskey is made
from cereal to begin with.
35
00:01:22,092 --> 00:01:23,758
So it was
just a matter of time
36
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,194
Before folks branched out
from there.
37
00:01:26,263 --> 00:01:28,997
So backwoods distillers
and legal distilleries,
38
00:01:29,066 --> 00:01:30,365
They're taking
a love of breakfast
39
00:01:30,367 --> 00:01:31,399
And they're distilling it.
40
00:01:32,970 --> 00:01:34,870
Tickle, tell us all about it.
41
00:01:36,673 --> 00:01:40,008
They say that breakfast
is the most important meal
of the day.
42
00:01:40,076 --> 00:01:43,645
Whether that's true or not,
america loves breakfast.
43
00:01:43,647 --> 00:01:45,847
We have breakfast
for breakfast.
44
00:01:45,849 --> 00:01:47,149
We love brunch.
45
00:01:47,151 --> 00:01:49,384
Then you got
my personal favorite,
46
00:01:49,486 --> 00:01:51,186
Breakfast for dinner.
47
00:01:51,255 --> 00:01:54,356
Liquor makers
are paying attention.
48
00:01:54,358 --> 00:01:57,092
From bacon washed vodka
to maple whiskey.
49
00:01:57,194 --> 00:02:00,162
Breakfast flavors
are a growing market.
50
00:02:00,164 --> 00:02:02,497
Distilleries
and home distillers
are coming up
51
00:02:02,566 --> 00:02:05,367
With their own take
on breakfast spirits.
52
00:02:05,369 --> 00:02:08,470
Using mash is made
with cereals and baked goods
53
00:02:08,472 --> 00:02:11,606
And even infuse them
with breakfast flavors
after distillation.
54
00:02:14,811 --> 00:02:16,645
Now that's the best part
of waking up.
55
00:02:19,149 --> 00:02:22,851
You guys have all brought
your own special mash recipe.
56
00:02:22,853 --> 00:02:26,888
I'm really excited to see
what you guys bring
to the competition.
57
00:02:26,990 --> 00:02:30,559
All right, guys,
time's come to build
that signature mash.
58
00:02:30,561 --> 00:02:33,161
You have one hour to
put your mash together.
59
00:02:33,163 --> 00:02:34,462
You look around,
60
00:02:34,464 --> 00:02:37,365
We don't have
anything around here
to make any mash with
61
00:02:37,367 --> 00:02:39,267
Because we're going
outside, old school.
62
00:02:39,269 --> 00:02:40,468
Come with me.
63
00:02:42,973 --> 00:02:44,072
Breakfast liquor.
64
00:02:44,074 --> 00:02:45,874
Yeah. Sounds like
something tickle would do.
65
00:02:50,681 --> 00:02:53,448
All right, guys,
we're outside, old school.
66
00:02:53,450 --> 00:02:55,650
Build us your best mash
in one hour.
67
00:02:55,652 --> 00:02:57,352
Your one hour starts now.
68
00:02:57,354 --> 00:02:58,453
Good luck, guys.
69
00:02:59,690 --> 00:03:01,256
Fire in the hole.
70
00:03:04,861 --> 00:03:06,161
Here we go.
71
00:03:06,163 --> 00:03:07,862
I've just got to cook
this corn down.
72
00:03:07,864 --> 00:03:09,364
You got a whole
bakery over there.
73
00:03:09,366 --> 00:03:10,465
And, dude, I am, man.
74
00:03:10,467 --> 00:03:12,133
Smells good from here.
75
00:03:12,135 --> 00:03:14,002
Yeah, tastes good, too.
76
00:03:14,104 --> 00:03:15,437
[steve]
my name is steve townley.
77
00:03:15,439 --> 00:03:17,305
I am from golden, colorado.
78
00:03:17,407 --> 00:03:19,241
[steve]
I've been distilling
about two and a half years.
79
00:03:19,243 --> 00:03:22,344
I do about
20 to 30 batches a year.
80
00:03:22,346 --> 00:03:24,479
So there's always
something fermenting
in our basement.
81
00:03:24,548 --> 00:03:25,847
You love this part,
don't you, guys?
82
00:03:25,849 --> 00:03:27,983
Because you know parts
are going to fall on the floor
83
00:03:27,985 --> 00:03:29,251
And you're going
to get treats.
84
00:03:29,253 --> 00:03:33,154
I love the process
from the mash,
to the fermentation,
85
00:03:33,156 --> 00:03:34,589
To the distilling
and the flavoring.
86
00:03:34,658 --> 00:03:36,091
So I'm a jack of all trades.
87
00:03:36,093 --> 00:03:38,493
I've done some crazy stuff.
I've made a moonshine.
88
00:03:38,562 --> 00:03:41,463
[steve] I have some
Halloween candy,
a pumpkin beer.
89
00:03:41,465 --> 00:03:42,664
Got my handy dandy drill.
90
00:03:42,666 --> 00:03:44,232
Winning the title
of master distiller
91
00:03:44,234 --> 00:03:46,167
Would be just a game changer.
92
00:03:46,169 --> 00:03:49,070
Hopefully get a career
in the distiller world.
93
00:03:49,072 --> 00:03:51,006
Anybody want a donut?
94
00:03:51,008 --> 00:03:52,440
There's never too many donuts.
95
00:03:52,442 --> 00:03:53,741
All right.
96
00:03:53,743 --> 00:03:55,844
My specialty,
believe it or not,
is my donut moonshine.
97
00:03:55,846 --> 00:03:56,978
[steve]
that is breakfast.
98
00:03:57,047 --> 00:03:58,079
Get in there.
99
00:03:58,081 --> 00:03:59,547
The key ingredient is donuts.
100
00:03:59,549 --> 00:04:01,850
[steve]
so I try to stick
to the neutral ones.
101
00:04:01,852 --> 00:04:04,452
More like the glazed,
maybe the devil's food.
102
00:04:04,454 --> 00:04:07,656
My favorite,
believe it or not,
donut uses like the sprinkles.
103
00:04:07,658 --> 00:04:08,857
That's where you get
the flavor.
104
00:04:08,859 --> 00:04:09,958
Stay even.
105
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,559
Mr. Digger,
how are we doing, sir?
106
00:04:11,561 --> 00:04:13,395
Well, I'm still above ground.
How about you?
107
00:04:13,463 --> 00:04:15,563
Hey, living the dream,
my friend.
108
00:04:15,565 --> 00:04:17,165
Tell me about this mash, bill.
109
00:04:17,167 --> 00:04:20,302
Well, it's donuts
from one of my local bakeries,
at home in colorado.
110
00:04:20,403 --> 00:04:22,370
It's got some brown sugar
in it,
111
00:04:22,372 --> 00:04:25,907
Some cane sugar,
some sugar in the raw.
112
00:04:25,975 --> 00:04:27,776
And I'm going to top it
all off with a little oats.
113
00:04:27,877 --> 00:04:29,978
-Cool.
-And if you like donuts,
you're going to.
114
00:04:30,046 --> 00:04:32,547
Hey, you can't beat donuts.
You just can't.
115
00:04:32,549 --> 00:04:34,482
Somebody don't like donuts,
I don't like them.
116
00:04:36,553 --> 00:04:37,786
Still cold, tim.
117
00:04:37,887 --> 00:04:39,788
-Gotta get some steam
rolling off.
-Yeah, dude.
118
00:04:39,889 --> 00:04:41,656
Going to scorch my corn.
119
00:04:41,658 --> 00:04:44,159
What do they say,
the watched pot never boils?
120
00:04:44,161 --> 00:04:46,561
My name is bryan hamner.
I'm from gardiner, maine.
121
00:04:47,998 --> 00:04:51,199
[bryan] and that's where
we get all our malt from,
big ass silo.
122
00:04:51,268 --> 00:04:54,602
I'm the head distiller
at maine craft distilling
in portland, maine.
123
00:04:54,671 --> 00:04:58,139
I run the entire production
side of the distillery.
124
00:04:58,141 --> 00:05:01,643
We age all our stuff,
minimum of three years.
125
00:05:01,645 --> 00:05:04,579
[bryan]
I've made 700 gallons
of whiskey
126
00:05:04,648 --> 00:05:07,248
And then I've made numerous
other spirits, gins
127
00:05:07,250 --> 00:05:10,985
To vodkas, rum, single malt,
highland style whiskey.
128
00:05:10,987 --> 00:05:14,089
[bryan]
so I'm very confident
in my distilling.
129
00:05:14,091 --> 00:05:16,558
I've never produced a spirit
that I didn't like.
130
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,793
This is how
we stoke our fires here.
131
00:05:18,895 --> 00:05:22,364
Why work harder,
when you can work smarter?
132
00:05:22,366 --> 00:05:24,699
I put out a lot of bottles
that are on the shelves,
133
00:05:24,768 --> 00:05:26,901
But none of them
with my name on it.
134
00:05:27,003 --> 00:05:29,204
[bryan]
so it would be really nice
to have a spirit
135
00:05:29,305 --> 00:05:30,672
With my name on it.
136
00:05:30,674 --> 00:05:34,342
And they're going to call
me master at my work.
137
00:05:34,344 --> 00:05:36,277
-Bryan!
-Hey, how's it going, digger?
138
00:05:36,379 --> 00:05:37,779
Oh, I'm still going.
How about you?
139
00:05:37,848 --> 00:05:38,980
I'm doing all right.
140
00:05:38,982 --> 00:05:40,982
Just trying to cook
this corn down.
141
00:05:41,051 --> 00:05:42,183
Tell me about your grain meal.
142
00:05:42,252 --> 00:05:45,787
So it's got equal parts
corn and malted barley,
143
00:05:45,856 --> 00:05:49,557
Buckwheat roasted
and raw buckwheat in there.
144
00:05:49,559 --> 00:05:50,992
So what I'm going for
145
00:05:50,994 --> 00:05:54,763
Is a buckwheat pancake flavor
with blueberries,
146
00:05:54,765 --> 00:05:56,898
And I've got a maple syrup
at the end.
147
00:05:56,967 --> 00:05:58,666
Well, good luck.
I'm going to move on
down the line.
148
00:05:58,668 --> 00:05:59,768
Oh yes, bro.
149
00:05:59,770 --> 00:06:00,969
How's it going, brother?
150
00:06:00,971 --> 00:06:02,336
How are you, man?
151
00:06:02,338 --> 00:06:04,406
Just trying
and get this water to heat up
as fast as I can.
152
00:06:04,474 --> 00:06:07,442
[erasmo]
my name is erasmo woods.
I'm from beeville, texas.
153
00:06:07,444 --> 00:06:10,445
This bad boy right here,
I call this
my copper cadillac.
154
00:06:10,447 --> 00:06:13,248
I learned
how to make moonshine,
a long time ago,
155
00:06:13,250 --> 00:06:15,650
Back in my late teens,
working in farm fields,
156
00:06:15,652 --> 00:06:17,152
Kind of hung out
with country people
157
00:06:17,154 --> 00:06:19,154
And started doing
some country things.
158
00:06:19,156 --> 00:06:22,557
All we do is open the top,
fill our chamber.
159
00:06:24,194 --> 00:06:26,094
[erasmo]
I realized
I had a talent for it.
160
00:06:26,096 --> 00:06:28,363
I've been distilling now
for about 20 years
161
00:06:28,365 --> 00:06:32,033
And I actually started
making breakfast style spiri
162
00:06:32,035 --> 00:06:33,768
About a year ago.
163
00:06:33,770 --> 00:06:36,438
And it was because, you know
you wake up the next day
164
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,007
From drinking, you know,
it's the hair of the dog
kind of thing.
165
00:06:39,009 --> 00:06:41,443
They want something
that's got a good taste to it
166
00:06:41,445 --> 00:06:43,378
But still makes them feel
a little better.
167
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,146
That's really smooth
for 140.
168
00:06:46,783 --> 00:06:48,049
Well, tell me about
your mash meal.
169
00:06:48,051 --> 00:06:50,985
We got 60 pounds
of raw cane sugar,
170
00:06:50,987 --> 00:06:52,754
So we're going to start off
with a silver rum.
171
00:06:52,756 --> 00:06:53,855
Yeah.
172
00:06:53,857 --> 00:06:55,457
And then I'mma
make a sweet pea rum.
173
00:06:55,459 --> 00:06:58,092
And then we're going
to make some good
sweet peas bloody marys.
174
00:06:58,094 --> 00:06:59,394
We're talking
about bloody marys.
175
00:06:59,496 --> 00:07:01,095
You're in my wheelhouse.
176
00:07:01,097 --> 00:07:02,997
Ain't nothing better
to scab over with.
177
00:07:03,099 --> 00:07:04,165
That's for sure,
hair of the dog!
178
00:07:04,167 --> 00:07:05,299
Yeah, boy.
179
00:07:05,301 --> 00:07:07,602
Sweet pea bloody mary.
It's definitely unique.
180
00:07:07,671 --> 00:07:09,304
And anybody
that's ever tried it,
181
00:07:09,372 --> 00:07:11,773
Has told me it's memorable.
182
00:07:11,775 --> 00:07:13,808
There's so much
dramatic difference here.
183
00:07:13,877 --> 00:07:15,376
I mean, it's going to be
a tough contest.
184
00:07:15,445 --> 00:07:16,978
Y'all better have
your a-game out.
185
00:07:16,980 --> 00:07:18,379
I didn't bring no b game.
186
00:07:18,481 --> 00:07:20,081
Attaboy.
187
00:07:20,083 --> 00:07:23,351
[erasmo]
if I win, it would definitel
be some good bragging rights
188
00:07:23,353 --> 00:07:26,387
And we're going to plan
on opening a distillery
in fort worth, texas.
189
00:07:26,490 --> 00:07:28,256
It's a breakfast of champions.
190
00:07:28,258 --> 00:07:30,492
We got some donuts over here,
191
00:07:30,627 --> 00:07:33,261
That we got
buckwheat pancakes.
192
00:07:33,263 --> 00:07:35,396
I did just add my blueberries.
193
00:07:35,465 --> 00:07:37,532
I was wondering
what was floating
on the top, I saw.
194
00:07:37,534 --> 00:07:39,267
Then we got
a sweet pea bloody mary,
195
00:07:39,269 --> 00:07:41,669
That takes some breakfast
worth getting up for,
don't it?
196
00:07:41,671 --> 00:07:42,971
It makes me want
to get out of bed.
197
00:07:42,973 --> 00:07:44,172
Yeah.
198
00:07:44,174 --> 00:07:45,807
May make you want
to get back in bed.
199
00:07:45,876 --> 00:07:47,108
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
200
00:07:47,176 --> 00:07:49,077
After you done.
201
00:07:49,178 --> 00:07:50,578
Wait a minute, gentlemen.
202
00:07:50,647 --> 00:07:51,980
Thank you. Thank you.
203
00:07:51,982 --> 00:07:53,548
Sounds like your
flame just went out.
204
00:07:53,550 --> 00:07:54,649
Turned it off.
205
00:07:54,651 --> 00:07:56,584
I'm done with heating it up.
206
00:07:56,653 --> 00:07:57,718
Oh, nice.
207
00:07:57,787 --> 00:07:59,587
I know things are on
a time limit and what not.
208
00:07:59,689 --> 00:08:01,656
That's something
most of us aren't used to.
209
00:08:01,658 --> 00:08:03,358
I know I'm good at what I do.
210
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,460
And I feel confident doing
something that I know.
211
00:08:05,462 --> 00:08:07,462
Keep it as simple as possible.
212
00:08:07,464 --> 00:08:09,497
That's the problem with
working with this course corn.
213
00:08:09,599 --> 00:08:13,101
You really got to cook it down
to make it work for you.
214
00:08:13,103 --> 00:08:15,503
[bryan]
buckwheat is the same way.
I'm taking a chance
215
00:08:15,572 --> 00:08:19,207
Because I don't really
have much time
to cook my corn down,
216
00:08:19,275 --> 00:08:21,643
But I feel like it's a chance
I'm willing to take,
217
00:08:21,645 --> 00:08:23,244
And I think it's going
to pay off in the end.
218
00:08:23,246 --> 00:08:26,080
I picked the probably
the hardest mash.
219
00:08:26,149 --> 00:08:27,315
It's tricky.
220
00:08:27,317 --> 00:08:28,783
5 minutes, boys.
221
00:08:28,852 --> 00:08:30,552
Time limits
are not my friend.
222
00:08:30,554 --> 00:08:31,953
You'll be just fine
223
00:08:31,955 --> 00:08:34,088
Until you get one
of the big donuts
hung up in that spigot.
224
00:08:34,157 --> 00:08:35,156
Yeah.
225
00:08:35,158 --> 00:08:36,758
It's hopefully not
going to happen.
226
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,459
I think I got them
ground up pretty good.
227
00:08:39,663 --> 00:08:41,362
Boys, you're down
to one minute.
228
00:08:41,364 --> 00:08:44,032
All right. Gives me time
to stir this 15 more times.
229
00:08:44,034 --> 00:08:45,800
Well, you hope so. Yeah.
230
00:08:45,902 --> 00:08:48,336
Whenever you're ready
you dump it in
your barrel back there.
231
00:08:48,338 --> 00:08:50,004
-Ready?
-Yep.
232
00:08:50,006 --> 00:08:51,172
Nice and slow.
233
00:08:54,244 --> 00:08:56,377
15 seconds, boys.
234
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:02,550
Five. Four, three, two, one.
235
00:09:02,552 --> 00:09:03,651
Step away from the kettle.
236
00:09:03,653 --> 00:09:05,987
We'll see you all
in five days.
237
00:09:06,056 --> 00:09:08,256
Y'all chase on that.
We'll take you from here.
238
00:09:08,258 --> 00:09:09,357
-Sounds good.
-Good luck.
239
00:09:09,359 --> 00:09:10,491
Thank you.
240
00:09:23,473 --> 00:09:25,607
All right guys,
are your mashes ready?
241
00:09:25,675 --> 00:09:28,443
You're going to run it
on a basic pot still.
242
00:09:28,445 --> 00:09:30,945
It's just your still
and your condenser.
243
00:09:30,947 --> 00:09:31,980
Oh, nice.
244
00:09:32,081 --> 00:09:33,247
We want you to distill it.
245
00:09:33,249 --> 00:09:34,782
You're going
to bring that flavor through.
246
00:09:34,884 --> 00:09:36,417
We want that breakfast flavor.
247
00:09:36,419 --> 00:09:39,487
We want to keep it
at above 80 proof.
248
00:09:39,556 --> 00:09:42,657
But remember,
if you get too high,
you lose that flavor.
249
00:09:42,659 --> 00:09:43,691
We don't want water.
250
00:09:43,793 --> 00:09:45,493
Well.
251
00:09:45,495 --> 00:09:48,997
Winner of this challenge
gets first pick of still parts
from the still house.
252
00:09:48,999 --> 00:09:50,164
It's awesome.
253
00:09:50,166 --> 00:09:54,402
Now, if you need a thumper
or any particular part
254
00:09:54,504 --> 00:09:59,173
To improve your run
on the next challenge,
you better win.
255
00:09:59,175 --> 00:10:00,441
Sounds good.
256
00:10:00,443 --> 00:10:02,644
All right, guys,
you heard everything
we got to say.
257
00:10:02,646 --> 00:10:04,345
It's time to make some liquor.
258
00:10:04,347 --> 00:10:06,080
Got four hours to complete it.
259
00:10:06,082 --> 00:10:10,551
We want your very best
jar on this table
before that time passes.
260
00:10:10,553 --> 00:10:16,157
Your four hours starts...Now.
261
00:10:16,159 --> 00:10:17,392
Good luck, guys.
Get on with it.
262
00:10:17,460 --> 00:10:18,593
Rock and roll.
263
00:10:18,662 --> 00:10:20,762
Get busy, guys.
264
00:10:20,764 --> 00:10:22,096
Oh, yeah.
265
00:10:24,768 --> 00:10:26,768
-Fire in the hole.
-Here we go.
266
00:10:26,770 --> 00:10:27,869
All right.
267
00:10:27,871 --> 00:10:29,837
I need a strain, strain,
strain.
268
00:10:29,839 --> 00:10:32,173
[steve] all my competitors
were actually scaring me
269
00:10:32,175 --> 00:10:34,542
Because one of them works
at a distillery.
270
00:10:34,544 --> 00:10:35,677
He does it for a living.
271
00:10:35,745 --> 00:10:37,145
And the other gentleman,
272
00:10:37,147 --> 00:10:40,081
He makes 50 gallon mashes
at a time.
273
00:10:40,150 --> 00:10:42,050
[steve]
but my donut moonshine.
274
00:10:42,052 --> 00:10:43,551
This is a tried
and true recipe.
275
00:10:43,553 --> 00:10:45,753
Can't wait to come out on top.
276
00:10:45,755 --> 00:10:47,855
Wow.
277
00:10:47,857 --> 00:10:50,458
Let me ask you a question.
Did anyone see any
278
00:10:50,460 --> 00:10:52,593
Pancakes going into the mash?
279
00:10:52,695 --> 00:10:55,663
We got buckwheat flour.
280
00:10:55,665 --> 00:10:57,098
Corn and barley.
281
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,567
And buckwheat and blueberries.
282
00:10:59,569 --> 00:11:01,402
Like a buckwheat pancake.
283
00:11:01,504 --> 00:11:02,637
There you go, tam.
284
00:11:02,639 --> 00:11:03,905
That's what we're looking for.
285
00:11:03,907 --> 00:11:07,675
Bryan,
is this a regular recipe
that you normally use?
286
00:11:07,777 --> 00:11:09,043
No, it is not.
287
00:11:09,045 --> 00:11:13,581
It is a recipe
that I converted
into a breakfast recipe.
288
00:11:13,650 --> 00:11:16,350
But you've never
actually ran this this batch.
289
00:11:16,352 --> 00:11:19,987
You know, as a rule,
we always say this honestly.
290
00:11:20,056 --> 00:11:22,056
It's not the time
to experiment.
291
00:11:22,058 --> 00:11:24,459
If it tastes like
it does right now,
292
00:11:24,461 --> 00:11:26,194
When it's distilled,
it should be good.
293
00:11:26,295 --> 00:11:27,762
It ain't going
to taste like that.
294
00:11:27,764 --> 00:11:29,597
Yeah, I know.
295
00:11:29,666 --> 00:11:32,800
I'm not too worried about
the spirit I'm producing.
296
00:11:32,869 --> 00:11:34,802
I know I can produce
some good liquor.
297
00:11:34,871 --> 00:11:38,072
You've burned
one hour of your time,
got three left.
298
00:11:39,309 --> 00:11:41,175
-Oh.
-Was that yours?
299
00:11:41,277 --> 00:11:43,544
There she goes, dripping.
300
00:11:43,546 --> 00:11:45,146
Yeah, she's running.
301
00:11:45,148 --> 00:11:47,148
[erasmo]
there is a risk
making a silver rum
302
00:11:47,150 --> 00:11:50,651
For breakfast right now
just because it's not
breakfast flavors in it.
303
00:11:50,653 --> 00:11:53,955
But I know that if I can mak
a good base
304
00:11:53,957 --> 00:11:56,557
That leads into a breakfast
at the end,
305
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,359
I just got to make it
to the end.
306
00:11:58,361 --> 00:12:00,762
You got a nice flow going on?
307
00:12:00,764 --> 00:12:02,096
Oh, yeah.
308
00:12:02,198 --> 00:12:03,765
Oh, look at me go.
309
00:12:03,767 --> 00:12:04,866
Just started dripping.
310
00:12:04,868 --> 00:12:08,169
What temperature you guys at,
180?
311
00:12:08,171 --> 00:12:09,270
It's 182.
312
00:12:09,272 --> 00:12:11,272
It should be good.
It should be dripping.
313
00:12:11,274 --> 00:12:12,540
I'm gonna crank this up.
314
00:12:12,542 --> 00:12:15,977
At home I'm used to running
on a stainless steel still.
315
00:12:15,979 --> 00:12:17,345
[bryan] this is literally
the first time
316
00:12:17,347 --> 00:12:18,679
I've run on a copper still.
317
00:12:18,781 --> 00:12:19,981
And I'm looking
at the other guys
318
00:12:20,082 --> 00:12:21,349
And everybody running
before me.
319
00:12:21,351 --> 00:12:23,551
You keeping an eye
on that pancake, ain't ya?
320
00:12:25,755 --> 00:12:27,388
Crank it up a little bit more.
321
00:12:29,959 --> 00:12:31,793
-Oh, it puked.
-[erasmo] what's going on?
322
00:12:31,861 --> 00:12:34,162
Oh, I feel that's puking, bro.
323
00:12:34,164 --> 00:12:36,564
This is literally
the first time
I've ever puked.
324
00:12:36,566 --> 00:12:39,467
That is not what you want
to see coming out your worms.
325
00:12:39,469 --> 00:12:41,335
Yeah, it's coming
out too fast.
326
00:12:41,337 --> 00:12:44,272
It's just cause
I was overcompensating.
327
00:12:44,274 --> 00:12:45,640
Because you guys
are running already.
328
00:12:45,642 --> 00:12:47,675
That didn't
help you a damn bit, did it?
329
00:12:47,744 --> 00:12:49,143
[bryan] if I don't fix it,
330
00:12:49,211 --> 00:12:52,980
I will not have
a nice clear jar to turn in.
Screwed myself.
331
00:12:55,051 --> 00:12:56,083
Crank it up a little bit more.
332
00:12:56,085 --> 00:12:57,785
Oh, it puked.
333
00:12:57,854 --> 00:12:59,086
Well, that sucks, doesn't it.
334
00:12:59,088 --> 00:13:00,788
That didn't help you
one bit, did it?
335
00:13:00,857 --> 00:13:02,156
Ah, that sucks.
336
00:13:02,158 --> 00:13:03,858
Just pop
that top off real quick.
337
00:13:03,860 --> 00:13:05,259
Dump some water down it.
338
00:13:05,261 --> 00:13:07,161
-Just to flush it out?
-Yeah.
339
00:13:07,163 --> 00:13:09,997
Ras had a good plan
to clear out
my condensing arm.
340
00:13:10,033 --> 00:13:11,298
Just pour it in.
341
00:13:11,300 --> 00:13:13,201
[bryan] I've never seen
anybody do that before.
342
00:13:13,269 --> 00:13:14,435
I wouldn't have thought
about it.
343
00:13:14,437 --> 00:13:15,903
-It's a great idea.
-There you go.
344
00:13:16,005 --> 00:13:19,006
I'm just glad I had erasmo
there to help me fix it.
345
00:13:19,008 --> 00:13:20,875
Dude, it cleared right up,
though.
346
00:13:22,645 --> 00:13:24,545
-No problem bro.
-Thanks for the help.
347
00:13:24,547 --> 00:13:26,080
Man, you burnt two hours.
348
00:13:26,082 --> 00:13:27,982
-You're halfway there.
-Right on.
349
00:13:27,984 --> 00:13:29,350
It's going too quick.
350
00:13:33,957 --> 00:13:35,756
How you doing there, brother?
351
00:13:35,758 --> 00:13:38,092
I'm going too slow
or I don't know, I'm nervous.
352
00:13:38,094 --> 00:13:39,560
This competition means
a lot to me
353
00:13:39,562 --> 00:13:42,663
And I just want
to do the best I can.
354
00:13:42,665 --> 00:13:45,867
Donuts is something
a little new to me, man.
355
00:13:45,869 --> 00:13:49,370
Digger made wedding cake
liquor one time.
356
00:13:49,372 --> 00:13:51,772
We're looking
for wedding cake.
357
00:13:53,209 --> 00:13:54,642
Look here at these
little fellers.
358
00:13:54,644 --> 00:13:55,943
Those are cake balls.
359
00:13:55,945 --> 00:13:57,545
We'll take some of them.
360
00:13:57,547 --> 00:13:58,679
Taste that.
361
00:14:00,650 --> 00:14:01,882
Mother of pearl.
362
00:14:01,884 --> 00:14:05,453
That's the best tasting mash
I've ever tasted in my life.
363
00:14:05,455 --> 00:14:08,556
Around here, people save
their donuts for bear bait.
364
00:14:08,558 --> 00:14:10,157
I don't know anybody
around here
365
00:14:10,159 --> 00:14:12,593
That'd surrender a donut
from their own belly.
366
00:14:15,064 --> 00:14:18,366
All right guys,
got one hour left.
367
00:14:18,368 --> 00:14:20,368
-How many jars you getting?
-Looking good.
368
00:14:20,370 --> 00:14:22,069
I told you boys
I brought my a-game.
369
00:14:22,071 --> 00:14:23,638
I did not bring no b game.
370
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,373
For the stripping run,
371
00:14:25,375 --> 00:14:30,645
I'm looking for a good,
deep rum flavor and quantity
372
00:14:30,647 --> 00:14:33,781
Because quantity
is what gives you
a good selection of hearts.
373
00:14:33,850 --> 00:14:35,349
[erasmo] that's the liquor
the judge wants.
374
00:14:35,351 --> 00:14:38,352
They don't want it
to be like liquid fire.
375
00:14:39,389 --> 00:14:42,256
Erasmo had
some powerful mash evidently.
376
00:14:42,258 --> 00:14:45,293
He's got enough damn liquor
to stock the liquor store.
377
00:14:45,361 --> 00:14:47,561
I see he's got a whole lot
of jars over there.
378
00:14:47,563 --> 00:14:49,897
You guys,
you may have more distillate,
379
00:14:49,999 --> 00:14:53,167
But you got some competition
ahead of you.
380
00:14:53,169 --> 00:14:54,702
Five minutes, boys.
381
00:14:56,372 --> 00:14:57,738
All right, I'm ready.
382
00:14:57,807 --> 00:15:00,508
This shine right now,
tastes like you're sipping
on a donut.
383
00:15:00,543 --> 00:15:03,377
It's sweet and sugary,
and it's amazing.
384
00:15:03,479 --> 00:15:04,445
Here we go, gentlemen.
385
00:15:04,447 --> 00:15:06,247
-All right.
-All right.
386
00:15:06,249 --> 00:15:07,381
You head on out.
387
00:15:07,483 --> 00:15:08,482
-Sounds good.
-Thank you.
388
00:15:08,551 --> 00:15:10,151
We'll come get you
when we reach a decision.
389
00:15:10,153 --> 00:15:11,685
Here comes another.
390
00:15:11,687 --> 00:15:14,255
I know I've got
enough liquor in there
with a good amount of flavor,
391
00:15:14,257 --> 00:15:17,091
And I feel very comfortable
about the jar I laid out.
392
00:15:17,093 --> 00:15:19,093
You head on out, bryan.
393
00:15:19,195 --> 00:15:21,162
-Thank you.
-Good luck. I'm done.
394
00:15:21,164 --> 00:15:22,663
[erasmo] my rum
was definitely good.
395
00:15:22,665 --> 00:15:24,398
I got a good quality rum
out of it.
396
00:15:24,434 --> 00:15:26,867
This has got potential
to make a good bloody mary.
397
00:15:26,869 --> 00:15:29,837
All right erasmo,
we're going to sample
and taste a little bit.
398
00:15:29,839 --> 00:15:32,473
We'll come get you all
whenever we get that done.
399
00:15:32,475 --> 00:15:34,775
-Good luck.
-Appreciate you.
400
00:15:34,844 --> 00:15:36,978
All right. Whiskey, push.
Let's get started.
401
00:15:37,079 --> 00:15:39,981
I hope one of them
makes you want breakfast
three times a day.
402
00:15:40,049 --> 00:15:41,549
Let's get this first. Joe.
403
00:15:41,551 --> 00:15:44,051
Bryan, blueberry,
buckwheat whiskey.
404
00:15:44,053 --> 00:15:45,186
Pretty clear jar.
405
00:15:45,254 --> 00:15:47,054
Getting about a 100
on that.
406
00:15:47,056 --> 00:15:48,522
Look good.
407
00:15:48,524 --> 00:15:51,092
Low point was that
little bit of puking
I got at the beginning.
408
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:55,363
My second jar
was mint, so thank you, ras,
409
00:15:55,365 --> 00:15:56,998
For helping me rinse that out.
410
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,699
Smells like alcohol
and buckwheat.
411
00:16:01,471 --> 00:16:03,004
Yeah, it's got
a buckwheat taste.
412
00:16:03,006 --> 00:16:04,572
I get a little hint
of blueberry.
413
00:16:04,574 --> 00:16:05,973
I didn't taste the pancake.
414
00:16:05,975 --> 00:16:07,842
Not unpleasant, is it?
415
00:16:07,844 --> 00:16:10,478
Erasmo,
this is texas silver rum.
416
00:16:10,579 --> 00:16:11,645
You got a good amount of jars.
417
00:16:11,647 --> 00:16:12,847
Judging by your yield,
418
00:16:12,849 --> 00:16:14,648
Yeah, I think you got nothing
to worry about.
419
00:16:14,650 --> 00:16:15,783
Yeah. So I'm definitely happy.
420
00:16:15,852 --> 00:16:16,951
Yeah.
421
00:16:16,953 --> 00:16:18,252
All right, here we go.
422
00:16:19,288 --> 00:16:20,654
Hmm.
423
00:16:20,656 --> 00:16:22,590
I think it's low proof.
424
00:16:22,625 --> 00:16:25,593
It smells good
'cause I can smell it already.
425
00:16:25,694 --> 00:16:27,595
Smells nice.
Smells like a good rum.
426
00:16:30,099 --> 00:16:31,565
Bit low.
427
00:16:31,567 --> 00:16:32,867
Yeah, pretty low.
428
00:16:32,869 --> 00:16:35,002
Yeah, maybe 60 proof, maybe.
429
00:16:35,038 --> 00:16:37,772
That you've got
some sweet note.
430
00:16:37,774 --> 00:16:40,441
I'm assuming that's coming
from those sugars he used.
431
00:16:40,443 --> 00:16:42,243
You know,
he made a rum base.
432
00:16:42,245 --> 00:16:44,445
Now it's supposed
to be a breakfast drink,
433
00:16:44,447 --> 00:16:45,746
But that could probably be
something
434
00:16:45,748 --> 00:16:46,781
To build a bloody mary on.
435
00:16:46,882 --> 00:16:48,449
Just needs some alcohol.
436
00:16:48,451 --> 00:16:49,650
Steve.
437
00:16:51,454 --> 00:16:53,988
All right. Here we go.
438
00:16:54,090 --> 00:16:55,990
Yeah, it's kind of
on the low side.
439
00:16:56,092 --> 00:16:57,491
It ought
to have a lot of flavor.
440
00:17:00,863 --> 00:17:02,096
I'm smelling a donut.
441
00:17:02,165 --> 00:17:03,898
It smells a little cakey.
442
00:17:03,999 --> 00:17:05,466
It smells like breakfast.
443
00:17:07,070 --> 00:17:09,403
It's almost like the glaze
on the donut.
444
00:17:09,472 --> 00:17:10,737
It's creamy.
445
00:17:10,739 --> 00:17:15,242
Honestly, it's got
a pretty decent taste,
a good flavor.
446
00:17:15,244 --> 00:17:18,079
You just need some alcohol
to give it a backbone.
447
00:17:18,147 --> 00:17:19,747
He gets a thumper in there,
448
00:17:19,749 --> 00:17:21,982
This right here,
he's going to do something.
449
00:17:21,984 --> 00:17:25,186
And I've never used a thumper
and I am dying
to use a thumper.
450
00:17:25,254 --> 00:17:28,322
All right boys, we're all
in the front seat together.
451
00:17:28,324 --> 00:17:29,590
-Yeah.
-I'm gonna go fetch him.
452
00:17:29,659 --> 00:17:31,358
Go get him.
453
00:17:35,164 --> 00:17:36,564
All right, guys. Welcome back.
454
00:17:36,566 --> 00:17:38,199
Nobody goes home.
455
00:17:38,300 --> 00:17:41,168
Simply a pecking order,
how are you going to
the stillhouse.
456
00:17:41,170 --> 00:17:42,570
If you're bringing up
the caboose,
457
00:17:42,572 --> 00:17:44,839
Chances are you're not going
to get everything you need.
458
00:17:44,841 --> 00:17:46,607
So keep that in mind.
459
00:17:47,977 --> 00:17:49,343
-Steve?
-Yes, sir.
460
00:17:49,345 --> 00:17:52,046
Plenty of flavor
in that drink right there.
461
00:17:52,048 --> 00:17:54,849
Proof's a little bit low,
but you got the glaze
462
00:17:54,851 --> 00:17:57,451
Off the donut right
on your palate.
463
00:17:57,453 --> 00:17:58,752
-Good job.
-Thank you.
464
00:17:58,754 --> 00:18:00,988
Donut flavor is good,
465
00:18:00,990 --> 00:18:02,456
But you need
about 30 more proof
on your jar.
466
00:18:02,458 --> 00:18:03,557
Okay.
467
00:18:03,559 --> 00:18:05,893
I'm just tasting the glaze
on top.
468
00:18:05,962 --> 00:18:07,094
Very heavy glaze.
469
00:18:07,163 --> 00:18:08,262
And we want both.
470
00:18:08,264 --> 00:18:10,297
We want taste
and we want proof, too.
471
00:18:11,767 --> 00:18:13,367
Bryan, you did a good job.
472
00:18:13,369 --> 00:18:14,735
Good tasting jar.
473
00:18:14,803 --> 00:18:18,772
You was almost spot on
on your proof,
flavor was really good.
474
00:18:18,774 --> 00:18:20,641
-Good job.
-Glad to hear.
475
00:18:20,643 --> 00:18:22,877
For your's,
I'm tasting buckwheat.
476
00:18:22,978 --> 00:18:24,445
I didn't taste the pancake.
477
00:18:24,447 --> 00:18:25,980
I didn't taste the blueberry.
478
00:18:25,982 --> 00:18:27,348
But I can taste
the buckwheat.
479
00:18:27,350 --> 00:18:29,083
I know this is your base run
480
00:18:29,152 --> 00:18:32,153
And you definitely do have
something to work with.
481
00:18:32,155 --> 00:18:36,257
Erasmo, your rum, spot on,
it's good.
482
00:18:36,259 --> 00:18:38,959
Just a little bit more
on your proof.
483
00:18:38,961 --> 00:18:40,961
There's a lot of jars
is on that table.
484
00:18:40,963 --> 00:18:42,696
You may have
higher proof liquor
485
00:18:42,765 --> 00:18:43,998
That you just simply
didn't use.
486
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,800
I don't know.
But all kinds of flavor.
487
00:18:46,902 --> 00:18:48,469
I'm telling you,
it's in there.
488
00:18:48,471 --> 00:18:49,770
Hell of a job.
489
00:18:49,772 --> 00:18:52,206
All right guys.
I'mma give you
your pecking order
490
00:18:52,275 --> 00:18:54,508
And get you a ride
to the stillhouse.
491
00:18:54,577 --> 00:18:56,977
Bryan, you're number one
in the stillhouse.
492
00:18:56,979 --> 00:18:58,078
Woo!
493
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,447
Erasmo, you're going
in number two.
494
00:19:00,449 --> 00:19:04,185
Steve, unfortunately,
your low proof jar
brought you in third place.
495
00:19:04,253 --> 00:19:05,386
Fair enough.
496
00:19:05,454 --> 00:19:07,054
-All right.
-Get your boy in here.
497
00:19:07,056 --> 00:19:08,255
Let's go.
498
00:19:09,458 --> 00:19:11,058
-Hey, buddy.
-How's it going there?
499
00:19:11,060 --> 00:19:13,260
Look at him, damn,
he's still sober.
500
00:19:13,262 --> 00:19:15,262
I'm glad you brought
the truck this time,
501
00:19:15,264 --> 00:19:16,997
Because all three
of these guys,
502
00:19:17,066 --> 00:19:18,566
They need to go out
to the stillhouse,
503
00:19:18,568 --> 00:19:22,203
Enhance their flavor profile,
up their proof a little bit.
504
00:19:22,271 --> 00:19:23,871
All right, well,
it just so happens
505
00:19:23,873 --> 00:19:27,541
I know where a whole bunch
of still parts are.
506
00:19:27,543 --> 00:19:29,343
All right, y'all,
come on with me.
507
00:19:33,583 --> 00:19:36,884
Fellas, the whole key
is to make them
think it was their idea.
508
00:19:36,953 --> 00:19:38,385
Then you get your way.
509
00:19:38,454 --> 00:19:39,853
All right, gentlemen.
510
00:19:39,855 --> 00:19:42,089
You all are going to have
3 minutes to go in here
511
00:19:42,091 --> 00:19:43,891
And pick your still parts.
512
00:19:43,993 --> 00:19:45,593
Bryan, you're up first.
513
00:19:45,661 --> 00:19:47,728
You have three minutes,
starting now.
514
00:19:47,730 --> 00:19:49,563
Go get 'em, buddy.
515
00:19:49,565 --> 00:19:51,265
[bryan] I have first pick
of still parts.
516
00:19:51,267 --> 00:19:52,633
I'm just super pumped,
517
00:19:52,635 --> 00:19:54,969
And I'm going to be able
to go in there
and get what I want.
518
00:19:54,971 --> 00:19:56,704
Seeing anything you recognize
in there?
519
00:19:56,805 --> 00:19:58,172
Yeah.
520
00:19:58,174 --> 00:20:00,341
All right. We have got a pot.
521
00:20:00,343 --> 00:20:02,243
All I need is to get a thumper
522
00:20:02,245 --> 00:20:05,546
So that I can infuse
those blueberry flavors
that I'm looking to do.
523
00:20:05,548 --> 00:20:07,648
Okay, well,
we have got a thumper.
524
00:20:07,650 --> 00:20:08,949
We've got a condenser.
525
00:20:08,951 --> 00:20:10,751
All right, we've got a pipe.
526
00:20:10,753 --> 00:20:12,987
-I think I'm good.
-All right.
527
00:20:12,989 --> 00:20:15,789
Erasmo, you're up,
starting now.
528
00:20:15,858 --> 00:20:17,190
Buddy.
529
00:20:17,192 --> 00:20:19,460
[erasmo]
I know I got a good flavor
profile out of my liquor,
530
00:20:19,462 --> 00:20:23,564
So I'm choosing to stay
with only a pot and condense
531
00:20:23,566 --> 00:20:24,665
Okay. All right.
532
00:20:24,667 --> 00:20:27,501
Well, look, erasmo is
coming out very quickly
533
00:20:27,570 --> 00:20:29,603
With some good parts,
all right?
534
00:20:29,672 --> 00:20:32,840
And I'll get all the flavor
out of the sweet pea juice
535
00:20:32,842 --> 00:20:36,243
That I'm introducing to it
and not be lost
in the thumper.
536
00:20:36,245 --> 00:20:37,978
Very quick time for erasmo.
537
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:39,246
All right, steve.
538
00:20:39,248 --> 00:20:41,782
Three minutes, starting now.
539
00:20:41,851 --> 00:20:43,083
Let's go.
540
00:20:43,085 --> 00:20:44,385
All right, steve.
541
00:20:44,486 --> 00:20:46,353
Knowing I have
to get my proof up,
542
00:20:46,355 --> 00:20:48,155
I have to get a thumper.
543
00:20:48,157 --> 00:20:51,458
We have got a pot,
we have got a thumper,
544
00:20:51,460 --> 00:20:53,560
And hopefully
we got a condenser.
545
00:20:53,562 --> 00:20:56,563
Do we? Yes, we have
got a condenser too.
546
00:20:56,565 --> 00:20:58,966
I grabbed almost everything
that was left.
547
00:20:58,968 --> 00:21:00,567
So I'm hoping the spare parts
548
00:21:00,569 --> 00:21:02,403
Are going to help me dial
in the perfect proof
549
00:21:02,504 --> 00:21:04,805
So you can
have a good end product.
550
00:21:04,907 --> 00:21:06,006
There we go.
551
00:21:06,008 --> 00:21:07,074
Are you good, steve?
552
00:21:07,076 --> 00:21:08,676
I think so.
553
00:21:08,777 --> 00:21:12,479
All right, fellas,
now that we got
our still parts,
554
00:21:12,548 --> 00:21:14,982
Let's grab them and move on
with this challenge.
555
00:21:26,662 --> 00:21:29,363
Well, these fellas have got
them some still parts.
556
00:21:29,365 --> 00:21:31,065
Steven over there.
557
00:21:31,067 --> 00:21:33,100
He's got a few extras.
558
00:21:33,102 --> 00:21:34,401
Got everything
but the kitchen sink.
559
00:21:34,536 --> 00:21:35,569
Everything.
560
00:21:35,571 --> 00:21:37,104
-Good luck, fellas.
-Thank you.
561
00:21:37,172 --> 00:21:38,605
Thanks.
562
00:21:38,607 --> 00:21:41,742
All right, guys,
you have one hour
to put that rascal together.
563
00:21:41,744 --> 00:21:43,677
Your time starts now.
564
00:21:43,746 --> 00:21:45,179
Good luck. Let's go.
565
00:21:45,247 --> 00:21:46,847
Get with it.
566
00:21:46,849 --> 00:21:49,350
The still I'm building
is very similar
567
00:21:49,352 --> 00:21:51,051
To the still I have at home.
568
00:21:51,053 --> 00:21:53,887
I'm extremely looking forward
to being able to operate
569
00:21:53,989 --> 00:21:56,290
On something
I feel very comfortable
working with.
570
00:22:09,171 --> 00:22:10,804
Erasmo is done.
571
00:22:13,109 --> 00:22:15,142
You happy erasmo,
the way yours was?
572
00:22:15,144 --> 00:22:17,444
Keep it simple. I'm going
for flavor on this one.
573
00:22:17,446 --> 00:22:18,979
Okay.
574
00:22:18,981 --> 00:22:20,481
33 minutes left.
575
00:22:20,582 --> 00:22:21,849
Like a jigsaw puzzle.
576
00:22:23,085 --> 00:22:24,351
Ta da!
577
00:22:24,353 --> 00:22:25,953
Looks good.
578
00:22:25,955 --> 00:22:27,254
You guys are done already?
579
00:22:28,791 --> 00:22:30,557
Sometimes when you get
so much stuff,
580
00:22:30,559 --> 00:22:31,892
You can't see the forest
for the trees.
581
00:22:31,961 --> 00:22:33,660
I had to put it together
and it's starting now.
582
00:22:36,165 --> 00:22:37,765
I know the right piece, I do.
583
00:22:37,767 --> 00:22:40,467
I just got to make it work.
584
00:22:40,469 --> 00:22:42,069
We're not making you nervous,
are we?
585
00:22:42,071 --> 00:22:44,671
Because we only got everybody
looking at you.
586
00:22:44,673 --> 00:22:46,273
For sure
it was working earlier.
587
00:22:48,244 --> 00:22:50,043
I'm gonna say
good luck with that.
588
00:22:53,015 --> 00:22:54,548
-Now, steve?
-Yes, sir.
589
00:22:54,550 --> 00:22:56,950
Just because that's together
and it works
may not be the best.
590
00:22:58,954 --> 00:23:00,421
Just depending
on what you're trying to do.
591
00:23:00,423 --> 00:23:02,089
I know you need
to up your proof.
592
00:23:02,091 --> 00:23:04,925
Of course the thumper
will help you with that.
593
00:23:04,927 --> 00:23:06,760
Yeah, the thumper
will help you.
594
00:23:06,762 --> 00:23:09,930
Best advice I can give you
at this point
is stop overthinking it.
595
00:23:09,932 --> 00:23:11,098
I'm done.
596
00:23:11,100 --> 00:23:12,166
Good move.
597
00:23:12,168 --> 00:23:13,500
That was fun, not gonna lie.
598
00:23:15,070 --> 00:23:18,105
You guys made a great
breakfast based spirit.
599
00:23:18,107 --> 00:23:20,340
The next step
is your flavor run.
600
00:23:20,342 --> 00:23:22,543
Now you've had a chance
to build your stills
like you want.
601
00:23:22,545 --> 00:23:25,546
Hopefully you'll be
able to enhance
your breakfast flavor.
602
00:23:25,548 --> 00:23:28,148
Also, this is a chance
to up your proof
if you need it.
603
00:23:28,150 --> 00:23:29,249
Be careful.
604
00:23:29,251 --> 00:23:31,351
Don't get more flavor
and not enough alcohol
605
00:23:31,353 --> 00:23:34,755
Or get too much alcohol
and it takes away
from your flavor.
606
00:23:34,824 --> 00:23:37,825
Somebody's going home
on this one, so make it count.
607
00:23:37,827 --> 00:23:38,959
You got four hours.
608
00:23:38,961 --> 00:23:41,662
We want your best jar up here
before that passes.
609
00:23:41,730 --> 00:23:45,265
Your time starts, now.
610
00:23:45,267 --> 00:23:47,267
Good luck. Get with it.
611
00:23:47,269 --> 00:23:48,735
Well, good luck, fellas.
612
00:23:48,737 --> 00:23:51,071
Ditto.
613
00:23:51,073 --> 00:23:52,773
It's gonna be awesome.
614
00:23:54,109 --> 00:23:55,175
That smells real good.
615
00:23:55,244 --> 00:23:56,810
Is that a secret ingredient?
616
00:23:56,812 --> 00:23:58,345
-Yes, sir.
-Pure sweet pea juice.
617
00:23:58,347 --> 00:23:59,446
Really?
618
00:23:59,448 --> 00:24:00,981
Sweet pea in moonshine.
619
00:24:00,983 --> 00:24:02,149
Sweet pea.
620
00:24:02,151 --> 00:24:05,185
I do know sweet peas aren't
typical breakfast foods.
621
00:24:05,221 --> 00:24:07,754
End up with
the best bloody mary
you've ever had.
622
00:24:07,756 --> 00:24:09,923
But I do know I could come out
with a good
623
00:24:09,925 --> 00:24:12,826
Sweet pea rum,
to balance out
that tomato juice.
624
00:24:12,828 --> 00:24:14,194
It'll make a good bloody mary.
625
00:24:16,265 --> 00:24:19,566
That's good stuff
in the thumper right there.
626
00:24:19,568 --> 00:24:21,268
It's rich.
627
00:24:21,270 --> 00:24:23,871
Steve, you're gonna charge
your thumper with anything?
628
00:24:23,939 --> 00:24:24,972
Maybe a little of your mash.
629
00:24:24,974 --> 00:24:26,306
Not all of it.
630
00:24:26,375 --> 00:24:28,709
Going into the second run,
I know I have
to get my proof up
631
00:24:28,711 --> 00:24:30,744
If I want to get a chance
to win this competition.
632
00:24:30,746 --> 00:24:32,646
But I'm not worried
about the flavors
633
00:24:32,648 --> 00:24:34,348
Because it's got
incredible flavor.
634
00:24:38,254 --> 00:24:40,854
Bryan, did you put
all your distill back
in your mash?
635
00:24:40,956 --> 00:24:43,290
Yeah. My strategy
for the spirit run,
636
00:24:43,392 --> 00:24:45,859
My proof was all working out
according to plan.
637
00:24:45,928 --> 00:24:48,662
So I'm looking to infuse
that blueberry flavor
638
00:24:48,731 --> 00:24:49,996
With actual blueberries.
639
00:24:49,998 --> 00:24:52,266
Yeah. Mash them up
before you put them
in the thumper?
640
00:24:52,268 --> 00:24:53,933
I don't think so.
641
00:24:53,936 --> 00:24:56,470
If I get to the end,
that's where I'm going to put
that maple syrup in there.
642
00:24:56,472 --> 00:24:59,873
I'm basically trying
to stack up my flavors
like a pancake.
643
00:24:59,875 --> 00:25:01,441
I got a fair amount
of blueberries,
644
00:25:01,443 --> 00:25:04,278
So it should put
some good flavor in there.
645
00:25:04,346 --> 00:25:06,146
You burned one hour
of your time.
646
00:25:06,148 --> 00:25:07,714
Got three left.
647
00:25:12,021 --> 00:25:14,087
Ooh, we're running, boys.
648
00:25:15,558 --> 00:25:16,723
Oh, look at me go.
649
00:25:16,725 --> 00:25:17,958
It started dripping.
650
00:25:19,628 --> 00:25:20,861
Is that your first jar?
651
00:25:20,930 --> 00:25:22,095
Yeah, you?
652
00:25:22,197 --> 00:25:23,764
Got a nice, steady drip.
653
00:25:23,832 --> 00:25:26,667
Ooh, we got that blueberry
in there.
654
00:25:26,669 --> 00:25:28,735
You got 2 hours left
in your run.
655
00:25:31,574 --> 00:25:32,773
Damn.
656
00:25:32,874 --> 00:25:34,708
This is legit, man.
657
00:25:34,710 --> 00:25:36,577
-How's yours?
-Tastes real good.
658
00:25:36,645 --> 00:25:38,245
And I got no complaints.
659
00:25:38,247 --> 00:25:40,380
[steve] I'm mixing
and tasting and tasting
660
00:25:40,382 --> 00:25:43,550
And tasting then mixing,
then tasting again.
661
00:25:43,552 --> 00:25:45,752
Like I'm tasting
a little bit too much.
662
00:25:45,854 --> 00:25:47,454
[steve]
but my run's going great.
663
00:25:47,456 --> 00:25:48,855
I'm collecting numerous jar
664
00:25:48,857 --> 00:25:51,391
And they're
tasting phenomenal.
665
00:25:51,460 --> 00:25:53,160
Bumbo!
666
00:25:53,162 --> 00:25:54,461
Almost.
667
00:25:54,529 --> 00:25:57,464
I think that guys
has been sampling
a little bit too much.
668
00:25:57,466 --> 00:25:59,266
That's highly possible.
669
00:25:59,268 --> 00:26:01,568
I'm just trying
to pick the right jar.
670
00:26:01,570 --> 00:26:04,605
I've got these flavors
stacked up pretty well so far.
671
00:26:04,673 --> 00:26:06,106
I got that buckwheat
in there.
672
00:26:06,108 --> 00:26:08,141
I got that blueberry
in there.
673
00:26:08,143 --> 00:26:10,143
I'm bringing up my a-game.
674
00:26:10,145 --> 00:26:11,244
It's good.
675
00:26:11,246 --> 00:26:13,347
30 minutes left in this run.
676
00:26:13,349 --> 00:26:14,448
I feel great.
677
00:26:14,450 --> 00:26:17,050
The liquor looks very clear.
Has a great smell.
678
00:26:17,052 --> 00:26:19,152
[erasmo]
I'm getting a real good,
sweet pea flavor.
679
00:26:19,154 --> 00:26:20,854
It's exactly what
you would want it to be.
680
00:26:20,956 --> 00:26:23,724
All right gentlemen,
two minutes left on the clock.
681
00:26:25,928 --> 00:26:27,060
Here we go.
682
00:26:27,062 --> 00:26:28,562
I hope we're as happy
as he is.
683
00:26:28,564 --> 00:26:30,163
I'm looking forward to it.
684
00:26:30,165 --> 00:26:32,099
-You sure about that?
-Yes, sir.
685
00:26:32,167 --> 00:26:34,101
Will you chase all out?
686
00:26:34,103 --> 00:26:36,770
When we reach the decision,
I'll be there to get you guys.
687
00:26:36,839 --> 00:26:37,871
Appreciate you guys.
688
00:26:37,940 --> 00:26:39,172
Think I'm ready.
689
00:26:40,609 --> 00:26:41,675
This is mine.
690
00:26:41,743 --> 00:26:43,176
-All right, bryan.
-Thank you.
691
00:26:43,245 --> 00:26:44,711
You chase out back with steve.
692
00:26:44,713 --> 00:26:45,846
-Good luck.
-Been fun.
693
00:26:45,848 --> 00:26:48,181
Eight, seven, six.
694
00:26:48,283 --> 00:26:49,349
I'll be the one.
695
00:26:49,351 --> 00:26:54,588
Five, four, three, two, one.
696
00:26:54,690 --> 00:26:57,024
All right erasmo, as soon as
we reach a decision,
697
00:26:57,026 --> 00:26:58,091
I'll be there to get you.
698
00:26:58,160 --> 00:26:59,826
-Yes, sir.
-Appreciate it.
699
00:26:59,828 --> 00:27:01,962
Good luck boss.
700
00:27:01,964 --> 00:27:03,997
Jamie,
it's time for breakfast.
701
00:27:03,999 --> 00:27:05,465
Now, this first one, bryan.
702
00:27:08,971 --> 00:27:10,570
Looks like close to 100.
703
00:27:10,572 --> 00:27:11,972
Feel pretty good, man.
704
00:27:11,974 --> 00:27:14,107
I feel like I blended
jars pretty good.
705
00:27:16,545 --> 00:27:18,478
Bryan's got
a nice nose on it.
706
00:27:20,249 --> 00:27:22,282
So that buckwheat
is what's coming in.
707
00:27:22,351 --> 00:27:23,917
Get a little blueberry
in the middle.
708
00:27:23,919 --> 00:27:26,586
It's like pancakes
with the blueberries on top.
709
00:27:26,655 --> 00:27:28,655
It's just a little fiery
for me,
710
00:27:28,757 --> 00:27:31,091
But this may be exactly
where bryan needs to be.
711
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:32,358
Think about it.
712
00:27:32,360 --> 00:27:34,027
If he's going to use it
for something down the road,
713
00:27:34,029 --> 00:27:35,195
He's on the money.
714
00:27:35,297 --> 00:27:36,930
Yeah. Yep. Moving on.
715
00:27:36,932 --> 00:27:38,098
Steve.
716
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:39,733
My proofs way up.
717
00:27:41,603 --> 00:27:42,869
It's like a little proof
in there.
718
00:27:42,871 --> 00:27:45,205
Yeah, I believe it has.
719
00:27:45,307 --> 00:27:46,540
Maybe 120.
720
00:27:46,542 --> 00:27:48,809
It's going to have
to be something really special
721
00:27:48,811 --> 00:27:51,078
With that proof
to taste the donut.
722
00:27:51,179 --> 00:27:52,546
I feel good.
I'm doing donuts.
723
00:27:52,548 --> 00:27:53,914
Who doesn't like donuts?
724
00:27:53,916 --> 00:27:55,148
Yeah.
725
00:27:55,150 --> 00:27:58,151
It smells really, really good.
726
00:27:58,153 --> 00:27:59,553
I'm not getting those donuts.
727
00:28:00,656 --> 00:28:02,322
Oh, boy.
728
00:28:02,324 --> 00:28:03,723
Yeah.
729
00:28:05,027 --> 00:28:08,161
That's hotter than a [bleep]
wolf in a forest fire,
ain't it?
730
00:28:08,163 --> 00:28:10,464
He left the flavor
in the other jar I believe.
731
00:28:10,466 --> 00:28:13,767
He said it was going to taste
like donut, glazed donut?
732
00:28:13,869 --> 00:28:16,303
He must have used
the hole of the donut,
not the donut.
733
00:28:16,404 --> 00:28:18,739
You know,
you can't have the flavor
and high proof.
734
00:28:18,741 --> 00:28:21,241
Usually you get
one or the other.
735
00:28:21,243 --> 00:28:23,176
Let's try erasmo's.
736
00:28:23,245 --> 00:28:24,611
Clear jar.
737
00:28:24,613 --> 00:28:28,148
I'd say one thing,
he put a lot of effort
into his labeling.
738
00:28:28,150 --> 00:28:30,250
I think he solved
his proof problems.
739
00:28:30,252 --> 00:28:32,285
Yeah, he came in
a little low on the first.
740
00:28:32,387 --> 00:28:33,720
He wanted to make sure
he made up.
741
00:28:33,722 --> 00:28:36,323
I think erasmo is about
at 130 now.
742
00:28:36,325 --> 00:28:38,391
I was low
on my proof last time.
743
00:28:38,460 --> 00:28:39,760
I shot a little higher
this time,
744
00:28:39,861 --> 00:28:41,261
So hopefully not too high.
745
00:28:41,263 --> 00:28:42,728
Me as well.
746
00:28:42,730 --> 00:28:46,867
Well, I don't know
what sweet pea rum's supposed
to taste like.
747
00:28:46,869 --> 00:28:50,604
It's the first time I smelt
sweet pea moonshine.
748
00:28:50,705 --> 00:28:54,975
It smells a little pea.
749
00:28:54,977 --> 00:28:57,844
I believe it's the first time
I've tasted
sweet pea moonshine.
750
00:28:57,846 --> 00:28:59,479
That's quite nice.
751
00:28:59,548 --> 00:29:02,716
Even though looking at
the bead, it's 130 proof. But
752
00:29:02,718 --> 00:29:05,652
When you taste it,
it's really not too strong.
753
00:29:05,754 --> 00:29:07,554
No, not for the proof, it is.
754
00:29:07,556 --> 00:29:09,389
It almost tastes good for you.
755
00:29:09,491 --> 00:29:11,258
I can see that
being a bloody mary.
756
00:29:11,260 --> 00:29:12,525
I like it.
757
00:29:12,527 --> 00:29:16,763
We've never,
ever had three complete
different profiles
758
00:29:16,765 --> 00:29:18,098
To this extreme.
759
00:29:18,100 --> 00:29:21,201
My jars are amazing, I think.
760
00:29:21,269 --> 00:29:22,602
All right, that's what's up.
761
00:29:22,704 --> 00:29:23,770
Make it hard for them.
762
00:29:23,772 --> 00:29:25,005
Make it hard for them
to figure out.
763
00:29:25,007 --> 00:29:26,173
Exactly.
764
00:29:26,175 --> 00:29:27,474
It'll be a hard decision
for sure.
765
00:29:27,476 --> 00:29:29,042
I know where I'm at.
766
00:29:29,044 --> 00:29:30,544
-Jamie.
-I'm good.
767
00:29:30,546 --> 00:29:32,078
Here we go.
I'm gonna go fetch them.
768
00:29:40,189 --> 00:29:42,189
All right men, welcome back.
769
00:29:42,257 --> 00:29:43,657
We sampled a lot.
770
00:29:43,659 --> 00:29:46,459
Pretty tough decision
we had to make right here.
771
00:29:46,461 --> 00:29:48,562
Unfortunately,
one fell a little short
772
00:29:48,564 --> 00:29:51,765
Than the other two,
somebody's got to go home.
773
00:29:53,168 --> 00:29:54,367
We sampled a lot.
774
00:29:54,369 --> 00:29:57,103
Pretty tough decision
we had to make right here.
775
00:29:57,105 --> 00:29:59,372
Steve, good drink of liquor.
776
00:29:59,374 --> 00:30:01,641
I think you could have brought
a little more flavor in there
777
00:30:01,643 --> 00:30:04,578
Had you gone more
into your later jars.
778
00:30:04,679 --> 00:30:06,479
I think it was
a little too high proof,
779
00:30:06,548 --> 00:30:09,182
But all in all,
a damn fine drink.
780
00:30:09,184 --> 00:30:10,450
Very clear jar.
781
00:30:10,452 --> 00:30:14,554
But I didn't get a whole lot
of the donut taste
782
00:30:14,556 --> 00:30:17,023
That I was expecting.
783
00:30:17,025 --> 00:30:18,291
You already got a good base.
784
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,527
All you got to do
is just influence
a little bit more.
785
00:30:20,529 --> 00:30:22,162
-Fair enough.
-Bryan.
786
00:30:22,164 --> 00:30:25,031
Again, I believe
you were a little bit
too high of a proof
787
00:30:25,033 --> 00:30:27,601
To really bring
all the flavors you needed too
to the party.
788
00:30:27,669 --> 00:30:29,870
The buckwheat comes in
as a dry finish,
789
00:30:29,872 --> 00:30:31,738
Kind of like a,
a rye or a wheat.
790
00:30:31,740 --> 00:30:35,475
But the blueberry, you got it
on the nose and you taste it.
791
00:30:35,544 --> 00:30:36,943
I think
you brought us something.
792
00:30:36,945 --> 00:30:38,244
The breakfast.
793
00:30:38,246 --> 00:30:40,647
It was almost like pancakes
with the blueberries on top.
794
00:30:40,649 --> 00:30:41,748
Yeah.
795
00:30:41,817 --> 00:30:44,184
Erasmo, sweet pea liquor.
796
00:30:44,286 --> 00:30:45,752
It's different. I know
797
00:30:45,754 --> 00:30:48,021
I've never tasted anything
like it.
798
00:30:48,023 --> 00:30:50,156
It brought a lot of alcohol
to the party.
799
00:30:50,158 --> 00:30:51,758
I think
he did an excellent job.
800
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,561
High proof, I'm putting it
at 130,
801
00:30:54,563 --> 00:30:57,264
But even though
it is a high proof,
it tastes really good.
802
00:30:57,266 --> 00:30:59,032
Little strong up front
then goes away.
803
00:30:59,034 --> 00:31:00,166
I think you got a good jar.
804
00:31:00,168 --> 00:31:01,768
-Appreciate it.
-Yeah.
805
00:31:01,770 --> 00:31:04,671
You got a lot of room
for breakfast flavoring.
806
00:31:04,740 --> 00:31:06,573
-And that was the plan.
-Good job.
807
00:31:06,575 --> 00:31:08,541
And I want
to commend all three of you.
808
00:31:08,543 --> 00:31:11,645
Thank you guys
for letting us
taste your spirits.
809
00:31:11,713 --> 00:31:15,015
That being said,
somebody's got to go home.
810
00:31:17,085 --> 00:31:20,820
Steve, unfortunately,
that jar bought you
a ticket home.
811
00:31:21,924 --> 00:31:23,356
-Awful sorry.
-All right.
812
00:31:23,358 --> 00:31:24,991
That's tough.
813
00:31:24,993 --> 00:31:26,226
-Thank you, sir.
-It's all good, man.
814
00:31:26,228 --> 00:31:27,761
I'm kind of bummed.
815
00:31:27,763 --> 00:31:29,462
[steve]
I thought my alcohol was right
where they wanted to be,
816
00:31:29,464 --> 00:31:31,031
But it turns out
it was just too high a proof
817
00:31:31,033 --> 00:31:33,066
It just wasn't my day.
818
00:31:33,068 --> 00:31:36,269
But the experience on this
whole journey was amazing.
819
00:31:36,271 --> 00:31:37,570
So I would do it again
if I could.
820
00:31:38,874 --> 00:31:41,007
That's the sucky part
of our job.
821
00:31:41,009 --> 00:31:45,545
All guys, here's what
y'all been waiting
for, this do-all, end all.
822
00:31:45,547 --> 00:31:49,582
One of you two is going
to be named
the next master distiller.
823
00:31:49,684 --> 00:31:52,552
You know, breakfast is
the most important meal
of the day.
824
00:31:52,554 --> 00:31:56,156
This is going to be
the most important flight
yet for y'all.
825
00:31:57,392 --> 00:32:00,860
Adding flavors
after distillation is tricky.
826
00:32:00,929 --> 00:32:02,562
Now you both came
into this challenge
827
00:32:02,564 --> 00:32:05,665
With good base spirit,
high proof.
828
00:32:05,734 --> 00:32:08,835
But, you know, in one second,
you could ruin that
829
00:32:08,837 --> 00:32:11,071
If you make the wrong choices.
830
00:32:11,073 --> 00:32:13,974
I'm a breakfast
kind of guy here.
831
00:32:13,976 --> 00:32:17,444
I can't wait
to taste both of these drinks.
832
00:32:17,446 --> 00:32:21,448
You have one hour to bring
us your best breakfast liquor.
833
00:32:21,450 --> 00:32:24,150
Your hour starts now.
834
00:32:24,152 --> 00:32:25,452
Good luck, men.
835
00:32:25,454 --> 00:32:26,653
Good luck, bro.
836
00:32:26,722 --> 00:32:29,255
I wanted to get to this point.
837
00:32:29,257 --> 00:32:31,591
I feel like I'm going to win
due to the fact
838
00:32:31,660 --> 00:32:33,860
That all my liquor
is a winner.
839
00:32:36,331 --> 00:32:39,065
They can use
any of their jars.
840
00:32:41,470 --> 00:32:43,937
I'm feeling pretty pumped
to be going to the next round.
841
00:32:43,939 --> 00:32:45,739
This is
the real exciting part.
842
00:32:45,741 --> 00:32:47,407
Taking my sweet pea rum
843
00:32:47,509 --> 00:32:49,542
To make one
of the best bloody marys
I've ever had.
844
00:32:51,346 --> 00:32:53,747
All right, guys,
you got 20 minutes burned up,
845
00:32:53,815 --> 00:32:55,248
40 left to go.
846
00:32:58,120 --> 00:32:59,953
That's not walnut syrup,
is it?
847
00:32:59,955 --> 00:33:01,988
No, it's maple syrup
that I made at home.
848
00:33:01,990 --> 00:33:05,125
I tapped trees on my property
and my parents' down the road.
849
00:33:05,127 --> 00:33:07,861
I put it in a barrel,
aged it for about a month.
850
00:33:07,863 --> 00:33:10,730
I brought some
oak aged maple syrup.
851
00:33:10,732 --> 00:33:12,932
That's going to be
my secret weapon.
852
00:33:12,934 --> 00:33:15,769
That'll put the edge on
that I need to win this.
853
00:33:15,837 --> 00:33:17,670
You took a whiskey barrel?
854
00:33:17,672 --> 00:33:18,772
Yeah.
855
00:33:18,774 --> 00:33:20,940
Hoping to pull
some of that spirit flavor
856
00:33:20,942 --> 00:33:22,542
From the other liquors
that were in the barrel.
857
00:33:22,544 --> 00:33:25,845
Hopefully not too much
where it drowns out
the rest of my flavor.
858
00:33:25,947 --> 00:33:28,281
This process here
is pretty cut and dried.
859
00:33:28,350 --> 00:33:30,950
Over here I'm kind
of interested now.
860
00:33:30,952 --> 00:33:35,088
Toothpaste,
but it's not. Tomato paste.
861
00:33:36,958 --> 00:33:38,058
What is that?
862
00:33:38,060 --> 00:33:39,192
Clam juice.
863
00:33:39,294 --> 00:33:40,860
Cloves.
864
00:33:40,929 --> 00:33:42,462
Celery salt.
865
00:33:42,464 --> 00:33:43,563
White pepper.
866
00:33:43,565 --> 00:33:45,231
Black pepper.
867
00:33:45,233 --> 00:33:49,569
Erasmo has got way more
moving parts than bryan does.
868
00:33:51,306 --> 00:33:53,506
I was wondering if that
would go in there or not.
869
00:33:53,575 --> 00:33:56,342
Oh, yeah, you got
to mix it up real good.
870
00:33:56,344 --> 00:33:57,477
Get all those flavors at once.
871
00:33:57,579 --> 00:33:59,646
Oh, yeah.
872
00:33:59,714 --> 00:34:03,650
My recipe,
it's something unique
and memorable.
873
00:34:03,652 --> 00:34:07,253
As long as I don't take away
the actual flavor
of the sweet pea rum,
874
00:34:07,255 --> 00:34:10,056
It's just going to be
an awesome drink
coming out the end.
875
00:34:10,058 --> 00:34:11,991
How's it going, ras?
876
00:34:11,993 --> 00:34:14,627
I'm trying to get it
balanced just right.
877
00:34:14,629 --> 00:34:17,163
I still taste the earthiness
from the sweet peas,
878
00:34:17,165 --> 00:34:21,601
But want to get
that little bit of pepper
in there, too.
879
00:34:21,703 --> 00:34:24,170
This is two
of my favorite things here.
880
00:34:24,172 --> 00:34:27,941
Damn pancakes,
syrup and bloody marys.
881
00:34:27,943 --> 00:34:29,943
Maybe just take a drink
of one of them
882
00:34:29,945 --> 00:34:31,244
And chase it
with the other one.
883
00:34:31,246 --> 00:34:32,946
That's what
I was kind of thinking.
884
00:34:32,948 --> 00:34:34,414
While you guys are going it,
885
00:34:34,482 --> 00:34:37,050
I can't see why a man
won't eat breakfast
three or four times a day.
886
00:34:40,555 --> 00:34:41,754
Tempering down a little?
887
00:34:41,856 --> 00:34:43,923
Yeah, very little.
888
00:34:43,925 --> 00:34:45,291
That ain't gonna do much.
889
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:46,492
I'll tell you what, though.
890
00:34:46,561 --> 00:34:48,761
In that amount I tell
ya it don't take that much.
891
00:34:48,763 --> 00:34:51,331
You'll knock the proof down
in a hurry.
892
00:34:51,333 --> 00:34:54,033
And I can't judge it
by the bead now
893
00:34:54,035 --> 00:34:55,335
Because all the sugar content
in there.
894
00:34:55,337 --> 00:34:57,871
So I got to go
by flavor alone.
895
00:34:57,873 --> 00:35:00,473
Luckily I drink, so I've got
a pretty good idea.
896
00:35:02,010 --> 00:35:05,478
What I made is as close
to a breakfast drink
897
00:35:05,547 --> 00:35:06,746
As you could possibly get.
898
00:35:06,748 --> 00:35:10,150
It is literally blueberry
pancakes in a jar.
899
00:35:10,152 --> 00:35:12,852
And if I don't win,
it's definitely not
900
00:35:12,854 --> 00:35:15,021
Because of the fact
my liquor doesn't taste good.
901
00:35:15,023 --> 00:35:16,389
It's because the other guy's,
902
00:35:16,391 --> 00:35:18,191
Like, it tastes
a little bit better than mine.
903
00:35:18,293 --> 00:35:19,926
15 minutes left.
904
00:35:19,928 --> 00:35:23,129
Let it sit,
see what those flavors
come out like.
905
00:35:23,131 --> 00:35:24,564
That's the thing
about a bloody mary.
906
00:35:24,566 --> 00:35:26,166
You wait a little longer,
907
00:35:26,168 --> 00:35:28,334
The one flavor will come out
a little more than the other.
908
00:35:28,336 --> 00:35:30,470
Probably tastes better
even the next day.
909
00:35:30,472 --> 00:35:32,238
-Sometimes.
-Yeah.
910
00:35:32,240 --> 00:35:34,340
Looking over at bryan,
seeing what he was doing,
911
00:35:34,342 --> 00:35:36,109
He was really coming along
good with his run.
912
00:35:36,111 --> 00:35:39,445
But I know I did everything
I need to make
a good bloody mary,
913
00:35:39,447 --> 00:35:41,080
So I'm pretty confident.
914
00:35:41,082 --> 00:35:44,117
Erasmo putting peppers
and stuff in it,
915
00:35:44,119 --> 00:35:46,186
Probably will sway tim
a little bit
916
00:35:46,254 --> 00:35:49,355
Because he hates
anything spicy or hot.
917
00:35:50,926 --> 00:35:52,425
Oh [bleep] no.
918
00:35:54,763 --> 00:35:56,563
You know, bacon would go good
in either one
of these drinks here.
919
00:35:56,565 --> 00:35:57,931
If he had a stick of bacon
to lay in,
920
00:35:57,933 --> 00:35:59,098
Then he'd be on time.
921
00:35:59,100 --> 00:36:00,600
That should be
the next challenge.
922
00:36:00,635 --> 00:36:02,569
But I can't tell with bacon.
923
00:36:02,571 --> 00:36:05,371
Then you got to keep
the bacon fresh and good.
924
00:36:05,373 --> 00:36:07,040
I wonder how much
trouble it'd be
925
00:36:07,042 --> 00:36:09,008
To make bacon
flavored ice cubes.
926
00:36:09,010 --> 00:36:11,144
They would be good
in that or that.
927
00:36:11,146 --> 00:36:14,247
Did y'all hear
about the shortage in hams?
928
00:36:14,249 --> 00:36:15,648
-In hams?
-Hams.
929
00:36:15,650 --> 00:36:17,750
There's only two places
you can get ham now.
930
00:36:17,852 --> 00:36:19,252
-Ham?
-Ham, yeah.
931
00:36:19,254 --> 00:36:20,653
Country or city ham?
932
00:36:20,655 --> 00:36:22,722
No, just each side
of the hog's butt.
933
00:36:26,828 --> 00:36:28,928
But erasmo putting peppers
and stuff in it
934
00:36:28,930 --> 00:36:30,663
Probably will sway tim.
935
00:36:30,765 --> 00:36:33,433
He hates anything spicy
or hot.
936
00:36:33,435 --> 00:36:34,567
It's got black pepper,
937
00:36:34,569 --> 00:36:37,270
But it ain't got no tabasco
or anything.
938
00:36:37,339 --> 00:36:39,572
Okay.
You got five minutes left.
939
00:36:39,574 --> 00:36:41,708
I'll give this one last taste.
940
00:36:41,710 --> 00:36:43,209
Tickle says
there's a lot to be said
941
00:36:43,211 --> 00:36:45,345
For quality control,
don't it, tim?
942
00:36:45,413 --> 00:36:48,348
The heat quality
controls himself into a coma.
943
00:36:48,416 --> 00:36:50,116
Tastes a little different
when it's cold.
944
00:36:50,118 --> 00:36:52,652
It tastes better.
945
00:36:52,754 --> 00:36:54,487
All right. Here you guys go.
946
00:36:54,556 --> 00:36:57,323
Hope you enjoy it as much
as I enjoyed making it.
947
00:36:57,325 --> 00:36:59,325
Bryan, you chase on out.
948
00:36:59,327 --> 00:37:00,426
All right, thanks, guys.
949
00:37:00,428 --> 00:37:01,661
It's been awesome.
950
00:37:02,864 --> 00:37:03,963
That's it.
Proud of that.
951
00:37:03,965 --> 00:37:05,098
-There you go.
-Bring it in here.
952
00:37:05,100 --> 00:37:06,332
Once we reach a decision,
953
00:37:06,334 --> 00:37:08,001
We're going to come
and get you guys.
954
00:37:08,003 --> 00:37:09,068
All right. Appreciate you.
955
00:37:09,070 --> 00:37:11,271
Good luck, brother.
956
00:37:11,339 --> 00:37:13,606
Get started there tim,
any one you want.
957
00:37:13,708 --> 00:37:16,242
This one's closer
to me, no ice.
958
00:37:16,311 --> 00:37:18,244
Bryan.
Just a light honey color.
959
00:37:21,449 --> 00:37:23,650
I don't know if we can do
anything with the proof.
960
00:37:23,751 --> 00:37:26,953
No, we just have to do
the best we can tasting it.
961
00:37:26,955 --> 00:37:29,255
Bon appetit there, haddy boy.
962
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:33,726
-Wow.
-Oh, yeah.
963
00:37:33,728 --> 00:37:35,128
It's got a little slurpee.
964
00:37:35,130 --> 00:37:36,763
Slurpee there.
965
00:37:36,831 --> 00:37:38,331
Little slurpee.
966
00:37:38,333 --> 00:37:40,266
I don't know
what that tastes like.
967
00:37:40,268 --> 00:37:41,768
I get
a little blueberry pancakes.
968
00:37:41,770 --> 00:37:43,169
It's kind of smooth.
It kind of rolls right off.
969
00:37:43,237 --> 00:37:44,170
It is good.
970
00:37:44,272 --> 00:37:45,672
It's smooth, it's buttery.
971
00:37:45,773 --> 00:37:47,140
I believe that syrup's
what gave it
972
00:37:47,142 --> 00:37:48,441
That nice
little buttery mouthfeel.
973
00:37:48,443 --> 00:37:50,343
I think you brought
us breakfast drink.
974
00:37:50,345 --> 00:37:52,345
Got a little bit of bite
at the back of your throat
975
00:37:52,447 --> 00:37:53,446
When you swallow a bit.
976
00:37:53,448 --> 00:37:55,081
It's got a little fire in it.
977
00:37:55,083 --> 00:37:56,215
He's got alcohol in it.
978
00:37:56,217 --> 00:37:58,084
That's a good 100 proof there.
979
00:37:58,086 --> 00:38:01,487
And he ain't ran away
with the flavor
on the maple syrup.
980
00:38:01,556 --> 00:38:02,989
I mean, you get it,
981
00:38:02,991 --> 00:38:05,258
But it don't overpower
the rest of the liquor.
982
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:06,458
Yeah.
983
00:38:06,460 --> 00:38:09,329
I tried to make something
that does scream maine,
984
00:38:09,331 --> 00:38:12,498
But isn't necessarily
something that's already
on the shelf.
985
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,134
Let's move on
to the bloody bloody.
986
00:38:15,136 --> 00:38:17,470
No doubt we know who this is.
987
00:38:17,472 --> 00:38:19,772
Well, that's definitely
not a good clear jar.
988
00:38:21,543 --> 00:38:23,343
Came out
what I was aiming for.
989
00:38:23,345 --> 00:38:24,544
Tastes like
a good bloody mary,
990
00:38:24,546 --> 00:38:27,013
And it still has
that earthy sweet pea.
991
00:38:27,015 --> 00:38:28,648
Looked pretty in the jar.
992
00:38:28,716 --> 00:38:32,652
Oh, boy. That's bloody mary.
993
00:38:32,754 --> 00:38:34,354
Yeah, boy.
And it's a dandy.
994
00:38:34,356 --> 00:38:36,656
I can see that
being a breakfast drink.
995
00:38:36,658 --> 00:38:38,324
It's almost like a vegetable.
996
00:38:38,326 --> 00:38:42,061
You get that pleasant,
sweet taste like
you've eaten sweet peas.
997
00:38:42,063 --> 00:38:44,530
But the sweet pea
is kind of clouded
a little bit
998
00:38:44,532 --> 00:38:45,665
By the black pepper.
999
00:38:45,734 --> 00:38:47,266
I like the way it, you know,
1000
00:38:47,268 --> 00:38:49,369
All these spices
he's got in there.
1001
00:38:49,371 --> 00:38:50,837
They're suspended, ain't they?
1002
00:38:50,839 --> 00:38:52,438
This is a bloody mary to go.
1003
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:53,773
It's already pre-made.
1004
00:38:53,775 --> 00:38:56,576
You just buy it and chill it
and pour it out.
1005
00:38:56,644 --> 00:38:58,344
This is marketability.
1006
00:38:58,346 --> 00:39:00,546
Yeah. I'm definitely happy.
I'm proud of what I did.
1007
00:39:00,548 --> 00:39:03,316
Win, lose or draw.
I'm glad I made it here.
1008
00:39:03,318 --> 00:39:04,417
Got to meet you guys.
1009
00:39:04,419 --> 00:39:05,752
Wouldn't trade it
for the world.
1010
00:39:05,853 --> 00:39:07,420
If you all are good,
I'm going to go fetch him.
1011
00:39:07,422 --> 00:39:08,488
I'm going with.
1012
00:39:08,556 --> 00:39:10,456
-Ten-four.
-I'm riding with you and tim.
1013
00:39:10,458 --> 00:39:11,858
Here we go.
1014
00:39:19,467 --> 00:39:21,234
Hi, guys. Welcome back.
1015
00:39:21,236 --> 00:39:24,604
Had some really good drinks
we had to finish off here.
1016
00:39:24,672 --> 00:39:26,939
One of y'all will be
named master distiller
1017
00:39:26,941 --> 00:39:28,441
And you can win a limited run
1018
00:39:28,443 --> 00:39:30,743
Of your breakfast
themed moonshine
1019
00:39:30,745 --> 00:39:33,946
At sugar land
distilling company
in gatlinburg, tennessee.
1020
00:39:33,948 --> 00:39:37,049
Bryan didn't fail us
in too many different ways.
1021
00:39:37,051 --> 00:39:40,453
Maple, smoky from
that charred barrel.
1022
00:39:40,455 --> 00:39:42,655
It actually kind of gave you
a few notes,
1023
00:39:42,724 --> 00:39:44,357
Like a good aged bourbon.
1024
00:39:44,359 --> 00:39:46,259
Still had plenty of proof,
plenty of backbone.
1025
00:39:46,327 --> 00:39:49,262
You can build a cocktail on,
really, really good.
1026
00:39:49,264 --> 00:39:51,030
I have to give you that.
1027
00:39:51,032 --> 00:39:53,666
Bryan, I thought it
was just a little bit hot,
1028
00:39:53,734 --> 00:39:57,570
But all in all your jar,
I think the maple comes
through as well.
1029
00:39:57,572 --> 00:40:02,041
It didn't cloud or hide
your original base flavor
1030
00:40:02,043 --> 00:40:03,342
And very good job.
1031
00:40:03,411 --> 00:40:04,576
Thank you.
1032
00:40:04,578 --> 00:40:07,547
Erasmo, bloody mary.
That's right in my wheelhouse.
1033
00:40:07,549 --> 00:40:09,248
You had plenty of alcohol
in there,
1034
00:40:09,350 --> 00:40:12,051
But it wasn't so powerful
that it overran the tomatoes.
1035
00:40:12,053 --> 00:40:13,953
You know, you might have went
a little too powerful
1036
00:40:13,955 --> 00:40:16,088
On black pepper for my taste.
1037
00:40:16,090 --> 00:40:18,758
Still, it was a bloody mary
and a fine one at that.
1038
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,829
That right there
is one ready to go drink.
1039
00:40:22,831 --> 00:40:26,332
What stands out in the jar
is we let it sit on the table
for a little while.
1040
00:40:26,334 --> 00:40:29,602
Everything that you put in it,
it's still floating,
1041
00:40:29,671 --> 00:40:31,537
You know, it's not like
falling to the bottom.
1042
00:40:31,539 --> 00:40:32,772
So good job on that.
1043
00:40:32,874 --> 00:40:34,740
I like them both a lot.
1044
00:40:34,742 --> 00:40:36,976
You both
are master distillers,
1045
00:40:36,978 --> 00:40:38,744
But we can't crown but one.
1046
00:40:38,846 --> 00:40:41,414
And unfortunately it falls
to me to be the one
1047
00:40:41,416 --> 00:40:43,516
That gets to swing that axe.
1048
00:40:43,518 --> 00:40:45,985
There can only be one
master distiller.
1049
00:40:45,987 --> 00:40:48,654
Bryan, you're the next
master distiller, my friend.
1050
00:40:48,656 --> 00:40:49,755
Whew.
1051
00:40:49,757 --> 00:40:51,023
[bryan] it's almost surreal
1052
00:40:51,025 --> 00:40:52,558
This is like a dream come tr
1053
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,561
For my liquor to be on a shelf
with my name on it.
1054
00:40:55,563 --> 00:40:56,662
Nice.
1055
00:40:56,664 --> 00:40:59,765
And show what us
maine moonshiners can do.
1056
00:40:59,834 --> 00:41:01,767
[bryan]
I'm now a master distiller.
1057
00:41:01,836 --> 00:41:03,469
Feeling good.
1058
00:41:03,471 --> 00:41:06,339
Erasmo, you know
mark ramsay feels honored
1059
00:41:06,341 --> 00:41:08,174
To got to taste your product.
1060
00:41:08,242 --> 00:41:10,109
Even though
I didn't win the competition,
1061
00:41:10,111 --> 00:41:12,445
We got to run
some legal liquor.
1062
00:41:12,447 --> 00:41:14,580
And this definitely been
an amazing experience.
1063
00:41:14,649 --> 00:41:15,748
It's been a blast, guys.
1064
00:41:15,850 --> 00:41:17,850
Sorry, y'all chase on out
and have a drink.
1065
00:41:17,852 --> 00:41:19,919
Thanks for having us all.
1066
00:41:19,921 --> 00:41:23,322
What do you say, we head over
to one of them
24 hours breakfast places
1067
00:41:23,324 --> 00:41:24,957
And see if they'll mix us
a drink like this.
1068
00:41:24,959 --> 00:41:26,158
-Let's go.
-Let's go.
1069
00:41:26,260 --> 00:41:28,661
Tim's buying.
Come on, timmy!
1070
00:41:28,663 --> 00:41:30,029
I'm always buying.
