[digger] you know
how to make liquor,

3
00:00:04,939 --> 00:00:07,239
you'd make it in a teacup.
Plain and simple.

4
00:00:07,274 --> 00:00:09,575
I can make liquor
out of damn coal.

5
00:00:09,610 --> 00:00:10,909
[tim smith]
you wanna bring some...

6
00:00:10,945 --> 00:00:12,578
-Something to table?
-[digger] blindfold me.

7
00:00:12,613 --> 00:00:14,179
Hell, I'll still make
better liquor than you.

8
00:00:14,215 --> 00:00:15,614
[tim smith] so what
are you getting at, digger?

9
00:00:15,649 --> 00:00:16,882
You wanna compete again?

10
00:00:16,917 --> 00:00:19,418
You owe me $1,000.

11
00:00:19,453 --> 00:00:21,453
Ten one-hundred dollar
bills.

12
00:00:21,489 --> 00:00:23,889

paid up yet.

They told us
make a run of rye.

40
00:01:19,814 --> 00:01:21,380
Rye? Why you gotta do rye?

41
00:01:21,415 --> 00:01:22,748
Rye's the hardest thing
to run.

42
00:01:22,783 --> 00:01:23,882
[digger] exactly.

43
00:01:23,918 --> 00:01:25,451
That brings him skills
to the table.

44
00:01:25,486 --> 00:01:26,852
[tim smith] all right.
Can you pick corn?

45
00:01:26,887 --> 00:01:27,986
You can try corn.

46
00:01:28,022 --> 00:01:29,288
[mark] hell,
anybody can rum corn.

47
00:01:29,323 --> 00:01:30,689
[tim smith] yeah,
but to make it taste good.

48
00:01:30,724 --> 00:01:33,192
Then you have
to be from tennessee.

49
00:01:33,227 --> 00:01:34,359
We're going [bleep]

51
00:01:35,529 --> 00:01:36,728
I read [indistinct]
all the time.

52
00:01:36,764 --> 00:01:38,697
Grudges never go away,
I guess.

53
00:01:38,732 --> 00:01:41,066
Last time, my understanding
was we was bringing

54
00:01:41,102 --> 00:01:43,235
our own recipe,
make the best-looking

55
00:01:43,270 --> 00:01:44,937
we could,
and that's what I did.

56
00:01:44,972 --> 00:01:46,071
These guys made a milkshake

57
00:01:46,107 --> 00:01:48,474
and put a little bit
of alcohol in it.

58
00:01:48,509 --> 00:01:50,008
No, I'm not playing
that game.

59
00:01:50,044 --> 00:01:52,377
Everybody make the same thing,
get to the end of the day,

60
00:01:52,413 --> 00:01:53,846
and be done with it.

61
00:01:53,881 --> 00:01:55,380
[tim smith] we're gonna have
to get somebody in here

62
00:01:55,416 --> 00:01:56,448
that really knows the law

63
00:01:56,484 --> 00:01:57,816
and knows how to run
this thing.

64
00:01:57,852 --> 00:02:00,819
So I'm gonna just pick up
tickle on the way back.

65
00:02:00,855 --> 00:02:03,088
And we'll meet back here
and get it all set up.

00:03:52,132 --> 00:03:53,398
No, we wanna make good liquor.

[mark laughs]

114
00:03:54,668 --> 00:03:56,235
[digger] you know,
on the other race,

115
00:03:56,270 --> 00:03:58,937
we were going
for a crowd-pleaser.

116
00:03:58,973 --> 00:04:00,272
This time,
we're not putting it

117
00:04:00,307 --> 00:04:01,673
out there
for general public.

118
00:04:01,709 --> 00:04:05,143
We are using
real liquor men.

119
00:04:05,179 --> 00:04:08,180
They know liquor.
They know aged liquor.

120
00:04:08,215 --> 00:04:10,616

127
00:04:23,130 --> 00:04:24,529
We make a rye apple.

128
00:04:24,565 --> 00:04:26,365
We're gonna put apple
in one of these pots.

129
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:27,966
We're gonna put
the rye mash in the oven.

130
00:04:28,002 --> 00:04:29,468
It flies off the shelf,

131
00:04:29,503 --> 00:04:31,303
we can't keep up
with production on it.

132
00:04:31,338 --> 00:04:33,305
We've conquered
that part already.

133
00:04:33,340 --> 00:04:35,440
This on the other hand
is something different.

134
00:04:35,476 --> 00:04:37,009
There's gonna be
a good liquor.

135
00:04:37,044 --> 00:04:38,610
There's one thing
I'm certain

136
00:04:38,646 --> 00:04:40,312
of when you're dealing
with tim smith,

137
00:04:40,347 --> 00:04:42,214
nothing's ever
on the up and up.

138
00:04:42,249 --> 00:04:44,016
-Hey hatty boy.
-Huh?

139
00:04:44,051 --> 00:04:45,450
I'm looking over here,
I see apples.

140
00:04:45,486 --> 00:04:47,252
It looks like
somebody's trying to mimic

141
00:04:47,288 --> 00:04:48,854
a recipe
we like real good.

142
00:04:48,889 --> 00:04:50,289
[mark] oh?

143
00:04:50,324 --> 00:04:51,723
They say the highest form
of complement

144
00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:54,026
is, uh, emulation.

145
00:04:54,061 --> 00:04:56,762
I was understanding we have
making our grain recipe.

146
00:04:56,797 --> 00:04:59,564
Well, I think
while I was mashing in,

147
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,534
I can make me a little
side dishes from apples.

148
00:05:02,569 --> 00:05:04,036
Yeah.
Have your little snack there.

149
00:05:04,071 --> 00:05:05,337
[tim smith] I mean,
while I'm getting

150
00:05:05,372 --> 00:05:07,239
the water hot,
why not, right?

151
00:05:07,274 --> 00:05:08,840
Last challenge
it didn't work out

152
00:05:08,876 --> 00:05:10,242
in my favor.

153
00:05:10,277 --> 00:05:12,577
This time, I'm making
rye whisky from grain.

154
00:05:12,613 --> 00:05:14,313
I know what I'm doing,
I know how to do it.

155
00:05:14,348 --> 00:05:15,647
And I'm gonna have
professional

156
00:05:15,683 --> 00:05:17,516
rye whiskey tasters
tasting it.

157
00:05:17,551 --> 00:05:19,518
They're gonna put it
in order as it comes.

158
00:05:19,553 --> 00:05:22,287
And hopefully,
mine is gonna be number one.

159
00:05:22,323 --> 00:05:23,722
<i> There's money to be made,</i>

160
00:05:23,757 --> 00:05:25,157

164
00:05:31,532 --> 00:05:33,298

165

<i> Grain comes out of a field.</i>

166
00:05:34,635 --> 00:05:36,168
<i> You grow it, you cut it,</i>

167

<i> you mash it in.</i>

168
00:05:37,571 --> 00:05:39,571
And that's what I know.

169
00:05:39,606 --> 00:05:42,307
In the woods,
you make everything count.

170
00:05:42,343 --> 00:05:44,343
You know,
you want a one-way train.

171
00:05:44,378 --> 00:05:45,811
And you're gonna make it
and sell it,

172
00:05:45,846 --> 00:05:47,112
or you're going to jail.

173
00:05:47,147 --> 00:05:48,213
You gotta make it work.

174
00:05:48,248 --> 00:05:49,614
So this is where
I'm coming from.

175
00:05:49,650 --> 00:05:52,684
When I came in this contest,
I come in to win it.

176
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,219
[tickle] what are you pouring
in there, digger?

177
00:05:54,254 --> 00:05:55,420
What is that?

178
00:05:55,456 --> 00:05:57,222
[digger] that is liquid
malt extract.

179
00:05:57,257 --> 00:05:59,491
[tickle]
liquid malt extract?

180
00:05:59,526 --> 00:06:02,094
[digger] they take grain,
steam it, roll it,

181
00:06:02,129 --> 00:06:04,162
squeeze all the protein
carbohydrates

182
00:06:04,198 --> 00:06:05,430
inside that grain,

183
00:06:05,466 --> 00:06:07,132
then they cook it
down to serve.

184
00:06:07,167 --> 00:06:10,135
That's probably, uh,
about a hundred pound of grain

185
00:06:10,170 --> 00:06:11,636
that went
into that right there.

186
00:06:11,672 --> 00:06:13,705
So now is that...Is that
gonna ferment, to me...

187
00:06:13,741 --> 00:06:15,774
It's made out of grain, tim.
Think about it.

188
00:06:15,809 --> 00:06:18,443
It's made out of grain,
it's same stuff over there.

189
00:06:18,479 --> 00:06:19,811
[tim smith] I don't know,
it looks like to me,

190
00:06:19,847 --> 00:06:21,246
it's honey,
so looks like me

191
00:06:21,281 --> 00:06:23,181
is gonna make like a sugar
shine or something.

192
00:06:23,217 --> 00:06:25,851
Nope. There's no sugar in it
other than this converted

193
00:06:25,886 --> 00:06:27,686
carbohydrates
out of that grain.

194
00:06:27,721 --> 00:06:29,421
And I'm just making
all grain.

195
00:06:29,456 --> 00:06:30,655
No other ingredients.

196
00:06:30,691 --> 00:06:31,823
[tim smith]
that's what I'm doing.

197
00:06:31,859 --> 00:06:32,891
All grain.

198
00:06:32,926 --> 00:06:34,126
No, you're adding
apple juice.

199
00:06:34,161 --> 00:06:36,094
No, I ain't adding
no apple juice.

200
00:06:36,130 --> 00:06:39,398
Well, pour it out
on the floor there, then.

201
00:06:39,433 --> 00:06:41,199
[tim smith] this rye
is very difficult to run

202
00:06:41,235 --> 00:06:42,401
to make it smooth.

203
00:06:42,436 --> 00:06:43,902
Probably be breaking
some kind of rule

204
00:06:43,937 --> 00:06:45,370
if put the apples
in the mash.

205
00:06:45,406 --> 00:06:47,239
But I'mma do
a [indistinct] apples,

206
00:06:47,274 --> 00:06:48,774
you put apples
in my dough.

207
00:06:48,809 --> 00:06:52,210
Don't wanna put all your eggs
in the same basket.

208
00:06:52,246 --> 00:06:54,780
Y'all get broke
at the same time.

209
00:06:54,815 --> 00:06:56,815
[tickle] what you working
with over there, mark?

210
00:06:56,850 --> 00:06:58,583
Any secret ingredients?

211
00:06:58,619 --> 00:07:00,252
[mark] I'm just using
what digger brought me.

212
00:07:00,287 --> 00:07:01,887
[tickle] you're using
what digger brought...

213
00:07:01,922 --> 00:07:03,155
You do realize
you're competing

214
00:07:03,190 --> 00:07:04,289
against digger, right?

215
00:07:04,324 --> 00:07:05,991
That's all right.

216
00:07:06,026 --> 00:07:07,759
[country music playing]

217
00:07:07,795 --> 00:07:09,494
[mark]<i> I've known digger</i>
<i> for 40 years.</i>

218
00:07:09,530 --> 00:07:11,229
<i> Digger's my partner.</i>

219
00:07:11,265 --> 00:07:13,665
He's somebody that I trust
and we have each other's back.

220
00:07:13,734 --> 00:07:16,735
I'm the still man.
But I know how to make liquor.

221
00:07:16,770 --> 00:07:18,703
I never made mash
with extract before,

222
00:07:18,739 --> 00:07:21,039
but I don't doubt digger.

223
00:07:21,074 --> 00:07:23,675
If he says it works good,
I'm okay with that.

224
00:07:23,710 --> 00:07:27,412
I'm gonna challenge myself
to, uh, get it right.

225
00:07:27,448 --> 00:07:30,182
I just stem my extract
down with some hot water

226
00:07:30,217 --> 00:07:32,117
and stirred it up,
bend it down a little bit.

227
00:07:32,152 --> 00:07:34,052
I'm not real familiar with it.

228
00:07:34,087 --> 00:07:36,855
My water gets hot,
I'm gonna cook it,

229
00:07:36,890 --> 00:07:39,558
shut the heat down and toss in
a little rolled oats

230
00:07:39,593 --> 00:07:41,126
just for capping it.

231
00:07:41,161 --> 00:07:43,261
I came in third place
last year.

232
00:07:43,297 --> 00:07:45,197
I don't have anywhere
to go but up.

233
00:07:45,232 --> 00:07:47,499
Whoever says they don't care
if they win

234
00:07:47,534 --> 00:07:50,135
or they lose
are telling a damn lie.

235
00:07:50,170 --> 00:07:52,103
Everybody wants to win.

236
00:07:52,139 --> 00:07:54,406
Y'all have got
20 minutes left.

237
00:07:54,441 --> 00:07:55,907
[tim smith] you see,
I'm old-school.

238
00:07:55,943 --> 00:07:57,976
I went to the field
and I harvest my rye.

239
00:07:58,011 --> 00:07:59,511
And I ground it up.

240
00:07:59,546 --> 00:08:01,847
This so what I know
how to run, ground rye.

241
00:08:01,882 --> 00:08:04,249
Tim won't stop at old-school
and he's old-school.

242
00:08:04,284 --> 00:08:06,451
He didn't grew up
in the same area I did.

243
00:08:06,487 --> 00:08:07,986
It don't get
no more old-school

244
00:08:08,021 --> 00:08:09,354
than this right here.

245
00:08:09,389 --> 00:08:11,490
This right here
is what everybody

246
00:08:11,525 --> 00:08:13,091
in [indistinct] to the woods
during wartime

247
00:08:13,126 --> 00:08:15,227
when you couldn't get sugar,
there was two ways

248
00:08:15,262 --> 00:08:16,895
during wartime
to get liquor.

249
00:08:16,930 --> 00:08:19,197
You had to steal
somebody's sugar cube palms

250
00:08:19,233 --> 00:08:22,801
out of the [indistinct]
or resort to extract.

251
00:08:22,836 --> 00:08:24,903
Man, that smells good.

252
00:08:24,938 --> 00:08:26,571
How you doing
over there, timmy?

253
00:08:26,607 --> 00:08:28,974
Doing the best I can
with I got to work with.

254
00:08:29,009 --> 00:08:30,542
[mark] stirring it up
over here, both.

255
00:08:30,577 --> 00:08:32,677
[digger] that's what mark says
about working me all time,

256
00:08:32,713 --> 00:08:34,579
doing the best what I got
to work with.

257
00:08:34,615 --> 00:08:36,214
[mark] yup.

258
00:08:36,250 --> 00:08:38,583
Mine looks a lot
like your does.

259
00:08:38,619 --> 00:08:40,252
[digger] it's only had work
like that, ain't it?

260
00:08:40,287 --> 00:08:41,419
Same color.

261
00:08:41,455 --> 00:08:42,754
That done mean nothing,
though, does it?

262
00:08:42,789 --> 00:08:43,622
Nope.

263
00:08:43,657 --> 00:08:44,656
[tickle] five minutes left.

264
00:08:44,691 --> 00:08:46,491
That time to start
wrapping her up.

265
00:08:49,796 --> 00:08:52,163
[digger] bill's kinda odd
not dissolving no sugar.

266
00:08:57,938 --> 00:09:02,407
[tickle] five, four,
three, two, one.

267
00:09:04,211 --> 00:09:05,577
Hour is up.

268
00:09:05,612 --> 00:09:07,646
Nothing to do now
but let this cool down

269
00:09:07,681 --> 00:09:09,548
a little bit, see y'all
[indistinct] yeast.

270
00:09:09,583 --> 00:09:11,917
I reckon we'll come back
in a few days and run this.

271
00:09:11,952 --> 00:09:14,920
I'm looking forward to tasting
some of the finest liquor

272
00:09:14,955 --> 00:09:15,887
we've ever seen.

273
00:09:15,923 --> 00:09:17,255
We're making rye.

274
00:09:17,291 --> 00:09:18,757
And just to complicate
matters,

275
00:09:18,792 --> 00:09:22,827
we're making a 100%
grain extract liquor.

276
00:09:22,863 --> 00:09:24,629
Something nobody's
comfortable with

277
00:09:24,665 --> 00:09:25,931
and I had no problem with it.

278
00:09:25,966 --> 00:09:27,232
Mark had no problem.

279
00:09:27,267 --> 00:09:29,134
Tim on the other hand,
had a problem with that.

280
00:09:29,169 --> 00:09:31,603
He's not willing to step
outside the boundaries

281
00:09:31,638 --> 00:09:33,772
and test his skills
at the distillery.

282
00:09:33,807 --> 00:09:35,440
I am.

283
00:09:35,475 --> 00:09:37,576
-Smells good.
-Time will tell.

284
00:09:37,611 --> 00:09:40,245
I got all the faith
in the world in you.

285
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:41,613
I'm glad you do.

286
00:09:41,648 --> 00:09:42,647
Because, hell,
I'm over here sweating.

287
00:09:45,252 --> 00:09:47,819
[narrator]<i> three of america's</i>
<i> best shiners are competing</i>

288

292
00:09:58,599 --> 00:09:59,864
[tickle] all right,
fellas.

293
00:09:59,900 --> 00:10:02,467
We're here to pick
y'all still parts.

294
00:10:02,502 --> 00:10:04,803
You got three minutes
in there.

295
00:10:04,838 --> 00:10:06,204
That sounds like a lot
of time

296
00:10:06,239 --> 00:10:08,673
but it goes a lot faster
than you think.

297
00:10:08,709 --> 00:10:11,076
You got three minutes
starting now, mark.

298
00:10:14,247 --> 00:10:16,915
[mark] you know, I'm working
with a unfamiliar mash.

299
00:10:16,950 --> 00:10:18,917
So I wasn't gonna get
myself a handicap

300
00:10:18,952 --> 00:10:20,552
with an unfamiliar still.

301
00:10:20,587 --> 00:10:22,554
This is not the time
to experiment.

302
00:10:22,589 --> 00:10:24,956
Bring what you're
familiar with.

303
00:10:24,992 --> 00:10:26,825
[tickle] you got
one minute, mark.

304
00:10:26,860 --> 00:10:29,227
[mark] I'm gonna run
my still in my little corner.

305
00:10:29,262 --> 00:10:31,062
And do the best all I can do.

306
00:10:31,098 --> 00:10:33,999
There's always a chance
I might win this time.

307
00:10:34,034 --> 00:10:35,800
[tickle] all right, mark.
Gotta wrap her up.

308
00:10:35,836 --> 00:10:37,802
[mark] woo. Hot dang.

309
00:10:37,838 --> 00:10:40,338
[tickle] thirty seconds.
Are you done?

310
00:10:40,374 --> 00:10:42,240
Is a 50-pound-baby-fat?

311
00:10:42,275 --> 00:10:43,775
Depends on how big
his mama is.

312
00:10:43,810 --> 00:10:45,710
I reckon.
Yeah, I'm done.

313
00:10:45,746 --> 00:10:47,312
[tickle] all right. Digger?

314
00:10:47,347 --> 00:10:49,447
You got three minutes
in there.

315
00:10:49,483 --> 00:10:51,016
Get at it, son.

316
00:10:51,051 --> 00:10:52,717
Digger, you wasting time.

317
00:10:52,786 --> 00:10:53,551
[digger]
don't need no time.

318
00:10:53,587 --> 00:10:57,889
[tickle laughs]

319
00:10:57,924 --> 00:10:59,491
[digger] mark knows
a still inside out.

320
00:10:59,526 --> 00:11:01,626
I'll never beat a still man
that he is

321
00:11:01,662 --> 00:11:03,828
because I'm not a coppersmith
and that's okay.

322
00:11:03,864 --> 00:11:05,897
<i> It's not my field house.</i>

323
00:11:05,932 --> 00:11:07,799
<i> But I'm not afraid of it.</i>

324
00:11:07,834 --> 00:11:09,067
[tickle] two minutes,
digger.

325
00:11:09,102 --> 00:11:11,436
-Two minutes.
-Good to know.

326
00:11:11,471 --> 00:11:14,806
<i> I'ma keep my design</i>
<i> old-school and simple.</i>

327
00:11:14,841 --> 00:11:16,241
<i> But it don't matter.</i>

328
00:11:16,276 --> 00:11:18,443
I'll bring a coffee pot
and make better liquor

329
00:11:18,478 --> 00:11:19,844
than tim smith could.

330
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,746
[tickle] make sure you
got all your little parts.

331
00:11:21,782 --> 00:11:23,081
That's your main thing.

332
00:11:23,116 --> 00:11:24,649
I'm paying attention
to my little parts.

333
00:11:24,685 --> 00:11:26,251
[tickle] all right.

334
00:11:26,286 --> 00:11:27,919
It's running down,
digger.

335
00:11:27,954 --> 00:11:33,692
Ten, nine, eight,
seven, six, five,

336
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,927
it's [bleep] late,
maybe get to one.

337
00:11:35,962 --> 00:11:38,830
Two... Oh, there he is.

338
00:11:38,865 --> 00:11:41,332
He come out on two.
All right.

339
00:11:41,368 --> 00:11:42,901
You got three minutes,
tim.

340
00:11:48,308 --> 00:11:49,641
[tim smith]<i> when I go</i>
<i> in the still house</i>

341
00:11:49,676 --> 00:11:52,010
<i> I was the last one,</i>
<i> I was third pick.</i>

342
00:11:52,045 --> 00:11:53,478
<i> It's a little tricky</i>
<i> for me.</i>

343
00:11:53,513 --> 00:11:56,881
I've never ever used a still
this small in my entire life.

344
00:11:56,917 --> 00:11:59,484
But I was actually able
to get a sight glass

345
00:11:59,519 --> 00:12:01,686
and I always wanted
to use one of those.

346
00:12:01,722 --> 00:12:04,756
It has a little window to see
the alcohol vapor coming up.

347
00:12:04,791 --> 00:12:06,057
I'm gonna be looking in.

348
00:12:06,093 --> 00:12:07,659
I'm gonna see
that rye coming out.

349
00:12:07,694 --> 00:12:10,295
[tickle]
thirty seconds, tim.

350
00:12:10,330 --> 00:12:12,864
[metal rattling]

351
00:12:12,899 --> 00:12:13,832
[tickle] ten seconds.

352
00:12:13,867 --> 00:12:14,866
If I ain't got nothing else,

353
00:12:14,901 --> 00:12:16,835
I got $20
worth of [indistinct]

354
00:12:16,870 --> 00:12:18,703
[metal rattling]

355
00:12:18,739 --> 00:12:21,172
he's headed
to the scrap yard.

356
00:12:21,208 --> 00:12:22,173
I think I'm gonna need
a hand truck.

357
00:12:22,209 --> 00:12:23,341
[tickle] yeah, yeah,
you might need

358
00:12:23,376 --> 00:12:24,476
a hand truck for all that.

359
00:12:24,511 --> 00:12:27,045
[laughter]

360
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:28,813
[tickle] oh.

361
00:12:28,849 --> 00:12:31,583
Y'all, let's grab your parts
and we'll head on back in.

362
00:12:31,618 --> 00:12:33,318
[tim smith] all right.

363
00:12:33,353 --> 00:12:35,553
[country music playing]

364
00:12:35,589 --> 00:12:37,522
kinda feel
like I'm in a shiner parade.

365
00:12:37,557 --> 00:12:39,557
[laughs]

366
00:12:39,593 --> 00:12:41,226
is this kinda
the 12-step program

367
00:12:41,261 --> 00:12:43,027
to get your license back?

368
00:12:43,063 --> 00:12:44,529
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

369
00:12:44,564 --> 00:12:46,598
You gotta start off
on one of these.

370
00:12:46,633 --> 00:12:48,032
All right, fellers.

371
00:12:48,068 --> 00:12:52,804
Y'all are gonna have one hour
to build your stills.

372
00:12:52,839 --> 00:12:54,405
Y'all head to it.

373
00:12:54,441 --> 00:12:55,840
[digger] I know I need this.

374
00:13:04,351 --> 00:13:06,818
[mark] digger? Did you end up
with that shotgun?

375
00:13:06,853 --> 00:13:08,586
I did.
I'll use it.

376
00:13:08,622 --> 00:13:09,587
[mark] well,
I don't think

377
00:13:09,623 --> 00:13:10,922
you can ever go
wrong with that.

378
00:13:10,957 --> 00:13:13,124
[digger]
no, not usually.

379
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,426
[mark] what the hell
is tim doing to still, man?

380
00:13:15,462 --> 00:13:17,228
[digger] I don't know yet.

381
00:13:17,264 --> 00:13:18,797
We're harvesting a lot
of liquor out of it,

382
00:13:18,832 --> 00:13:19,998
that's the main thing.

383
00:13:20,033 --> 00:13:22,267
[metal clanks]

384
00:13:22,302 --> 00:13:23,868
[digger] uh-oh.

385
00:13:23,904 --> 00:13:25,103
You see,
we have a problem.

386
00:13:25,138 --> 00:13:26,604
What's the bail with that?

387
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:27,472
[digger]
it says that's what...

388
00:13:27,507 --> 00:13:28,840
Oh, it'd be me.

389
00:13:28,875 --> 00:13:30,708
I got anything over here
you need first.

390
00:13:30,744 --> 00:13:32,277
I doubt it.

391
00:13:32,312 --> 00:13:35,280
It's the small parts
that's so easy to overlook

392
00:13:35,315 --> 00:13:36,781
when you get
under the pressure.

393
00:13:36,817 --> 00:13:38,349
I've been busy
looking for all of this stuff.

394
00:13:38,385 --> 00:13:39,751
-[tickle] yeah.
-You don't think about this.

395
00:13:39,786 --> 00:13:41,052
[digger] or you're
gonna use of this.

396
00:13:41,087 --> 00:13:42,086
-Let me see if...
-Maybe one of that?

397
00:13:42,122 --> 00:13:43,555
Let me see if I can use it.

398
00:13:43,590 --> 00:13:45,089
If I can't, I'll give
you a good drink lift.

399
00:13:45,125 --> 00:13:47,025
I believe that's about
what you need there, dig.

400
00:13:47,060 --> 00:13:48,726
[mark] that's gonna hype
the battle.

401
00:13:48,762 --> 00:13:49,928
You know,
that still don't help you

402
00:13:49,963 --> 00:13:51,429
with that other side.

403
00:13:51,464 --> 00:13:53,932
I might've had it
on backward, mark, boy.

404
00:13:53,967 --> 00:13:55,466
We'll know here in a minute.

405
00:13:58,238 --> 00:13:59,804
Oh, look at that.

406
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:01,706
[tickle] you know
what we say about that rum

407
00:14:01,741 --> 00:14:03,074
where I come from?

408
00:14:03,109 --> 00:14:04,709
Bless him.

409
00:14:04,744 --> 00:14:06,878
-Bless him.
-It ain't hard.

410
00:14:06,913 --> 00:14:09,948
[tense music playing]

411
00:14:16,857 --> 00:14:19,390
all right, fellers.
Y'all are 20 minutes in.

412
00:14:19,426 --> 00:14:21,426
But y'all about got
this stuff wrapped up.

413
00:14:21,461 --> 00:14:22,527
[digger]
we just wanna make sure

414
00:14:22,562 --> 00:14:23,895
we don't have
no leakages.

415
00:14:23,930 --> 00:14:25,296
I'm done.

416
00:14:25,332 --> 00:14:26,464
I'm done.

417
00:14:26,499 --> 00:14:27,932
Well, I'm...
I think I am.

418
00:14:27,968 --> 00:14:30,034
But I... At this point,
I ain't swearing to nothing.

419
00:14:30,070 --> 00:14:32,203
I'll have to say
that's a fine job.

420
00:14:32,239 --> 00:14:33,504
I don't think anybody else
could've got

421
00:14:33,540 --> 00:14:35,473
these things together
any quicker than that.

422
00:14:35,508 --> 00:14:37,041
And that's just time we get
some liquor out of it.

423
00:14:37,077 --> 00:14:39,244
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

424
00:14:39,279 --> 00:14:40,311
All right, fellers.

425
00:14:40,347 --> 00:14:42,480
Now, we're gonna have
four hours

426
00:14:42,515 --> 00:14:44,282
to run y'all's mash.

427
00:14:44,317 --> 00:14:45,984
And then we'll figure out
what else we gonna get you

428
00:14:46,019 --> 00:14:47,952
to do with after that,
all right?

429
00:14:47,988 --> 00:14:52,523
You got four hours,
start now.

430
00:14:52,559 --> 00:14:54,692
-[tim smith] good luck.
-[digger] good luck, fellers.

431
00:14:54,728 --> 00:14:57,395
[narrator]<i> the shiners will</i>
<i> run their signature mashes</i>

432
00:14:57,430 --> 00:14:59,664
<i> and rank the resulting</i>
<i> whiskey themselves</i>

433
00:14:59,699 --> 00:15:01,799
<i> in a blind taste test.</i>

434
00:15:01,835 --> 00:15:04,535
<i> Knowing where they stand</i>
<i> against the competition,</i>

435
00:15:04,571 --> 00:15:07,672
<i> they'll have 24 hours</i>
<i> to rapidly all gauge</i>

436
00:15:07,707 --> 00:15:11,743
<i> their best jar and one chance</i>
<i> to impress the expert judges</i>

437
00:15:11,778 --> 00:15:14,312
<i> in the final round.</i>

438
00:15:14,347 --> 00:15:16,314
[digger] I never knew
what went and mash smelled

439
00:15:16,349 --> 00:15:18,016
like until I stuck my head
down this barrel.

440
00:15:18,051 --> 00:15:19,751
[tim smith] let me drain
same amount here.

441
00:15:19,786 --> 00:15:21,152
[digger] well,
I can smell it over here.

442
00:15:21,187 --> 00:15:22,687
I thought you took
your shoes off.

443
00:15:22,722 --> 00:15:24,389
[mark]
mine smells like bananas.

444
00:15:24,424 --> 00:15:26,224
Mine's still working
pretty fierce.

445
00:15:26,259 --> 00:15:28,593
[tim smith] yeah,
mine's still working too.

446
00:15:28,628 --> 00:15:30,161
[digger]
there's work in it, tim.

447
00:15:30,196 --> 00:15:31,763
For a bit.
I'm gonna need another.

448
00:15:31,798 --> 00:15:34,732
We got it probably.

449
00:15:34,768 --> 00:15:36,267
[tim smith] oh,
getting ready to light up.

450
00:15:36,303 --> 00:15:38,269
[mark] he's bringing
his a game today.

451
00:15:38,305 --> 00:15:39,837
-[tickle] hey, digger?
-Yes, sir.

452
00:15:39,873 --> 00:15:42,440
You don't have a lot
of grain to strain out.

453
00:15:42,475 --> 00:15:45,009
[digger] I put just enough
amount too probably in there,

454
00:15:45,045 --> 00:15:47,045
put little enzyme
back in it.

455
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:48,613
-And cap it all?
-[digger] cap it all.

456
00:15:48,648 --> 00:15:49,881
[tickle] yeah.

457
00:15:49,916 --> 00:15:51,883
One thing I can assure you,
it ain't cheap

458
00:15:51,918 --> 00:15:53,384
to make a rum
or liquor like this.

459
00:15:53,420 --> 00:15:55,153
It's a little expensive
nowadays, huh?

460
00:15:55,188 --> 00:15:57,588
About 250 bucks.

461
00:15:57,624 --> 00:16:00,291
That hell is our only money.

462
00:16:00,327 --> 00:16:01,893
Hmm.

463
00:16:01,928 --> 00:16:03,394
These old moonshiners
were telling me

464
00:16:03,430 --> 00:16:04,929
about making syrup liquor.

465
00:16:04,965 --> 00:16:06,331
<i> I thought they'd make</i>
<i> their syrup</i>

466
00:16:06,366 --> 00:16:08,900
<i> but they were talking</i>
<i> about raw syrup,</i>

467
00:16:08,935 --> 00:16:11,269
<i> barley syrup,</i>
<i> malt extracts.</i>

468
00:16:11,304 --> 00:16:13,237
<i> As I look a little further</i>
<i> and come to find out,</i>

469
00:16:13,273 --> 00:16:16,374
<i> distilleries were selling</i>
<i> malt extracts</i>

470
00:16:16,409 --> 00:16:19,310
<i> that they had stored</i>
<i> and it makes beer liquor.</i>

471
00:16:19,346 --> 00:16:22,146
<i> That's how brewery survive</i>
<i> in the prohibition days</i>

472
00:16:22,182 --> 00:16:24,549
<i> and I know from history</i>
<i> and what the old timers</i>

473
00:16:24,584 --> 00:16:28,419
<i> [indistinct] would tell me,</i>
<i> it'll make fine liquor.</i>

474
00:16:28,455 --> 00:16:30,188
Needless to say,
you ain't gonna make it

475
00:16:30,223 --> 00:16:31,990
to sell cheap,
making good money...

476
00:16:32,025 --> 00:16:33,658
No, I don't reckon either.

477
00:16:37,263 --> 00:16:39,797
All right, tim.
You went with regular grains.

478
00:16:39,833 --> 00:16:42,333
I'll pour that with some rum
and ground it up.

479
00:16:42,369 --> 00:16:45,436
That... What it'd cost you
to make your mash share?

480
00:16:45,472 --> 00:16:48,373
Probably with the yeast in it,
uh, made by six dollars.

481
00:16:48,408 --> 00:16:49,941
-By six dollar?
-Yeah.

482
00:16:49,976 --> 00:16:52,076
Everything I bought
came from the farm.

483
00:16:52,112 --> 00:16:54,012
Everything we use
came from the farm.

484
00:16:54,047 --> 00:16:56,147
Yeah. But y'all got a canary
over there?

485
00:16:56,182 --> 00:16:57,682
I don't know where they came,
they had...

486
00:16:57,717 --> 00:16:59,484
They did a damn finer job
cooking grain

487
00:16:59,519 --> 00:17:00,985
than any else ever with.

488
00:17:01,021 --> 00:17:02,353
We'll know something here
in a little bit.

489
00:17:02,389 --> 00:17:03,287
All right.

490
00:17:03,323 --> 00:17:04,489
Whether we've made good liquor

491
00:17:04,524 --> 00:17:06,557
or damn dill pickles.

492
00:17:06,593 --> 00:17:07,992
[tim smith]
I like dill pickles.

493
00:17:08,028 --> 00:17:11,629
We don't need a $250 jar
of dill pickles, do we?

494
00:17:11,664 --> 00:17:14,766
[tim smith] you know,
I don't reckon we did.

495
00:17:14,801 --> 00:17:18,503
Y'all, feller, just got
two hours and 45 minutes left.

496
00:17:18,538 --> 00:17:19,904
All right, tim.

497
00:17:19,939 --> 00:17:21,506
What do you got
in your little bucket?

498
00:17:21,541 --> 00:17:23,841
There's some apples and I'll
ferment it on the side.

499
00:17:23,877 --> 00:17:25,276
I'm not gonna put it
in the still,

500
00:17:25,311 --> 00:17:26,844
I didn't put it in my mash
or nothing,

501
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,214
I just put that in a damper,
it's 100% right in my still,

502
00:17:30,250 --> 00:17:32,350
and just a little hint
on the apple on the end.

503
00:17:32,385 --> 00:17:34,519
So I wanna call this
apple split rye.

504
00:17:34,554 --> 00:17:37,188
You sound like a whole lot
of [bleep] to me.

505
00:17:37,223 --> 00:17:40,258
Tim's is just a mimic
of our recipe.

506
00:17:40,293 --> 00:17:42,427
Stimulation is one
of the greatest compliments

507
00:17:42,462 --> 00:17:43,494
in the world.

508
00:17:43,530 --> 00:17:44,595
They're gonna call me
out on it

509
00:17:44,631 --> 00:17:47,231
because mark and dig
had a apple rye.

510
00:17:47,267 --> 00:17:49,367
You know, they...
These guys own the apple rye.

511
00:17:49,402 --> 00:17:51,702
You're welcome.
[indistinct] tim.

512
00:17:51,738 --> 00:17:53,838
Hey, boy.
How hot is your mash?

513
00:17:53,873 --> 00:17:56,207
One hundred
and seventy degrees.

514
00:17:56,242 --> 00:17:58,076
Well, I'm almost 180.

515
00:17:58,111 --> 00:18:00,578
How are you out there now,
timmy?

516
00:18:00,613 --> 00:18:02,346
Let's see.
I'm looking 120.

517
00:18:02,382 --> 00:18:03,714
-[mark] one-twenty?
-Yeah.

518
00:18:03,750 --> 00:18:05,316
It takes a long time
for a watched pot

519
00:18:05,351 --> 00:18:08,753
-to heat, don't they?
-[digger] it does.

520
00:18:08,788 --> 00:18:12,090
Oh, yeah.

521
00:18:12,125 --> 00:18:13,658
There's vapor coming.

522
00:18:13,693 --> 00:18:16,094
I 'd love to unless I get
a big shot of wasabi in it.

523
00:18:16,129 --> 00:18:17,628
[digger] yeah, boy.

524
00:18:17,664 --> 00:18:21,265
That's a pretty mature
distillation right there.

525
00:18:21,334 --> 00:18:23,801
Pretty mature
distillation?

526
00:18:23,837 --> 00:18:25,837
Here she goes.

527
00:18:25,872 --> 00:18:29,073
-[tim smith] you got wicky?
-[mark] I got wicky.

528
00:18:29,109 --> 00:18:31,175
Right here.
I got it dripping.

529
00:18:31,211 --> 00:18:34,512
All right, gentleman.
Can I use the term loosely?

530
00:18:34,547 --> 00:18:38,216
Y'all have two hours,
y'all are halfway through.

531
00:18:38,251 --> 00:18:39,884
[digger] do you have
any like it, tim smith?

532
00:18:39,919 --> 00:18:41,219
No, nice drum.

533
00:18:41,254 --> 00:18:43,855
That apple mash
actually made me run

534
00:18:43,890 --> 00:18:45,523
a little bit slow
behind the other guys

535
00:18:45,558 --> 00:18:47,992
and there is nothing
you can do about it.

536
00:18:48,027 --> 00:18:49,627
[mark] it smells like liquor.

537
00:18:52,031 --> 00:18:53,798
[digger] a lot of history
is in there.

538
00:18:53,833 --> 00:18:56,834
I got it ain't
buttermilk, ain't it?

539
00:18:56,870 --> 00:18:59,403
-Mother pearl.
-Good or ain't it?

540
00:18:59,439 --> 00:19:01,372
It's crawling down
that damn side of that cup

541
00:19:01,407 --> 00:19:02,740
like it's got feet.

542
00:19:02,775 --> 00:19:04,509
[digger] well, I had it
coming and then going.

543
00:19:08,414 --> 00:19:09,514
I think that's liquor.

544
00:19:09,549 --> 00:19:10,581
[mark]
that's probably still

545
00:19:10,617 --> 00:19:11,983
about a hundred
and sixty proof.

546
00:19:12,018 --> 00:19:13,818
Do you have any like it,
tim smith?

547
00:19:13,853 --> 00:19:15,386
No, I ain't got nothing
over here.

548
00:19:15,421 --> 00:19:17,755
Two hours in this thing
and nothing is coming out.

549
00:19:17,790 --> 00:19:19,590
I think I got sabotaged.

550
00:19:23,730 --> 00:19:25,763
Two hours in this thing
and nothing is coming out.

551
00:19:25,798 --> 00:19:28,065
I ain't got the first drop.

552
00:19:28,134 --> 00:19:30,168
I'm really worried
about the timeline.

553
00:19:30,203 --> 00:19:32,570
I can really feel
the stress level.

554
00:19:32,605 --> 00:19:34,105
[digger] tim,
if you don't make no liquor,

555
00:19:34,140 --> 00:19:35,506
I'll give you a jar
of mine.

556
00:19:35,542 --> 00:19:37,141
[tim smith] I might need one.
I don't know.

557
00:19:37,177 --> 00:19:39,310
Mark and digger,
they're still running good

558
00:19:39,345 --> 00:19:40,811
and their product
is coming out

559
00:19:40,847 --> 00:19:43,381
so I have to get
to still operate.

560
00:19:43,416 --> 00:19:45,383
Yeah.

561
00:19:45,418 --> 00:19:47,451
-There we go.
-[mark] finally.

562
00:19:47,487 --> 00:19:49,487
I think I'd just go ahead
and make my own, man.

563
00:19:49,522 --> 00:19:51,222
Five minutes
and we'll something to draw.

564
00:19:51,257 --> 00:19:52,623
[digger]
then get nailed to it.

565
00:19:52,659 --> 00:19:54,392
Uh, I just, kind of,
went through that.

566
00:19:54,427 --> 00:19:56,694
Where am I at and I don't know
but I'm hoping I'm...

567
00:19:56,729 --> 00:19:58,296
I'll have enough time.

568
00:19:58,331 --> 00:20:01,065
Digger?
You're the apple of my rye.

569
00:20:01,134 --> 00:20:02,433
[digger] oh.

570
00:20:02,468 --> 00:20:04,001
You're just saying that
because it's true.

571
00:20:04,037 --> 00:20:05,503
Then use both sticks,
say all right

572
00:20:05,538 --> 00:20:07,438
to get your big mouth full.

573
00:20:07,473 --> 00:20:09,840
[mark] do what?

574
00:20:09,876 --> 00:20:12,543
Damn.
It's spicy hot though.

575
00:20:12,579 --> 00:20:14,545
Come on, mark.
Let's see what you got.

576
00:20:14,581 --> 00:20:17,515
[mark] my third jar.

577
00:20:17,550 --> 00:20:19,617
Jesus.
That's hot but she's got

578
00:20:19,652 --> 00:20:21,752
a damn good flavor to it,
mark.

579
00:20:21,788 --> 00:20:23,054
-You have perfect it.
-[mark] yeah.

580
00:20:23,089 --> 00:20:25,189
Too hot for where I need
to be at this point.

581
00:20:25,225 --> 00:20:26,424
[tickle] you never know.

582
00:20:26,459 --> 00:20:28,226
She might drop off
and give you

583
00:20:28,261 --> 00:20:31,195
a good low-proof jar
for flavor profile.

584
00:20:31,231 --> 00:20:32,630
-Maybe.
-You never know.

585
00:20:32,665 --> 00:20:34,332
If I can get...
Make one down to 120,

586
00:20:34,367 --> 00:20:35,499
I'm all right with it.

587
00:20:35,535 --> 00:20:37,201
[tickle]
sounds good to me.

588
00:20:37,237 --> 00:20:38,703
I'm gonna go check out and see
what tim smith has going on.

589
00:20:38,738 --> 00:20:40,471
See what tim smith is up to.

590
00:20:45,278 --> 00:20:47,178
Oh, boy.

591
00:20:47,213 --> 00:20:49,447
Tell me that you know better
than that.

592
00:20:49,482 --> 00:20:50,581
-Right there.
-All right.

593
00:20:50,617 --> 00:20:52,016
We're here.
I'll make you see this.

594
00:20:52,085 --> 00:20:54,619
[tim smith] you might not
wanna tell nobody else.

595
00:20:54,654 --> 00:20:57,088
Hmm.
I don't know what to tell you.

596
00:20:57,123 --> 00:20:59,056
It's got...
It's got a nice flavor, tim.

597
00:20:59,092 --> 00:21:01,659
The base is breaking
over there right now too.

598
00:21:01,694 --> 00:21:04,262
If that was my jar of liquor,
I'd be proud of it.

599
00:21:04,297 --> 00:21:05,863
All right, digger.

600
00:21:05,898 --> 00:21:07,565
One, two, three,
is this your fifth jar?

601
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:08,799
[digger] fifth jar.

602
00:21:08,835 --> 00:21:11,869
I'm gonna say
I'm probably still at 140.

603
00:21:13,506 --> 00:21:16,474
But that's good proof to be
at for cash drunk liquor.

604
00:21:16,509 --> 00:21:17,508
If you ain't lowering that,

605
00:21:17,543 --> 00:21:18,809
that's some good
smoking [bleep].

606
00:21:18,845 --> 00:21:20,611
-It's 100% right then.
-Yeah.

607
00:21:20,647 --> 00:21:23,080
No sugar, there ain't...
Nothing but grain in there.

608
00:21:23,116 --> 00:21:25,916
Yeah. I'll have to say
all three of you

609
00:21:25,952 --> 00:21:28,686
so far well done, gentlemen.
Well done.

610
00:21:32,892 --> 00:21:34,091
Money honey.

611
00:21:34,127 --> 00:21:35,960
It just...
It just keeps getting better.

612
00:21:35,995 --> 00:21:37,628
-It just keeps getting better.
-Digger?

613
00:21:37,664 --> 00:21:40,831
We might help tim smith up
before he gets calluses

614
00:21:40,867 --> 00:21:42,900
on his hands for patting
himself on the back.

615
00:21:42,935 --> 00:21:46,237
Oh. He can go along
if he only wants to.

616
00:21:46,272 --> 00:21:48,839
Don't be an educated palate
to taste this.

617
00:21:48,875 --> 00:21:50,941
It don't matter what palate
tastes it right there,

618
00:21:50,977 --> 00:21:52,276
see, it's never good.

619
00:21:52,312 --> 00:21:55,880
I'm glad you finally made
some good liquor, tim.

620
00:21:55,915 --> 00:21:58,783
You all got 20 minutes left.

621
00:21:58,818 --> 00:22:02,019
Six jars ain't gonna get me
where I need to be.

622
00:22:02,055 --> 00:22:03,854
Are you gonna
tamper yours now?

623
00:22:03,890 --> 00:22:05,823
I don't know. My liquor taste
off a good way

624
00:22:05,858 --> 00:22:07,858
except right now,
I'mma run with it I believe.

625
00:22:07,894 --> 00:22:10,194
I don't think I got
enough time to run that jar.

626
00:22:10,229 --> 00:22:12,763
I'm just not into the hearts
where I'd like to be.

627
00:22:12,799 --> 00:22:15,299
If I try to tamper it down
with a little spring water,

628
00:22:15,335 --> 00:22:16,534
I'm afraid to try it now.

629
00:22:16,569 --> 00:22:18,135
[tim smith]
that ain't raw whiskey.

630
00:22:18,137 --> 00:22:20,504
It gotta be half proof because
it has a little bite to it

631
00:22:20,540 --> 00:22:22,073
-the end of way.
-Mmm-hmm.

632
00:22:22,108 --> 00:22:24,241
And then has a different taste
profile so a little spicy.

633
00:22:24,277 --> 00:22:26,911
There's a fine line
between proof and flavor.

634
00:22:26,946 --> 00:22:28,546
Oh, yeah.

635
00:22:28,581 --> 00:22:30,481
[tickle] when you can get that
a hundred percent dead right,

636
00:22:30,516 --> 00:22:32,750
that's always gonna be
your best jar.

637
00:22:32,785 --> 00:22:36,187
All right, fellers.
We're down to five minutes.

638
00:22:36,222 --> 00:22:39,557
It's time to start mixing jars
or picking a jar one.

639
00:22:39,592 --> 00:22:41,459
Whatever you wanna do.

640
00:22:41,494 --> 00:22:44,495
I'll tell you,
I'm good with that.

641
00:22:44,530 --> 00:22:45,796
There you go, steven ray.

642
00:22:45,832 --> 00:22:47,298
[tickle] thank you, sir.

643
00:22:47,333 --> 00:22:49,567
I mean, you can't beat this.

644
00:22:49,602 --> 00:22:51,602
All right. Settle down, now.

645
00:22:54,540 --> 00:22:55,840
I'll have to say
that's a mighty

646
00:22:55,875 --> 00:22:58,109
fine-looking jar of liquor.

647
00:22:58,144 --> 00:23:00,044
Well, here's what's
gonna happen, fellas.

648
00:23:00,079 --> 00:23:02,847
So I won't cover up
the tops of these jars

649
00:23:02,882 --> 00:23:04,715
and we all gonna
come back in here

650
00:23:04,751 --> 00:23:06,083
and we're gonna taste
this stuff so...

651
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,053
So y'all heard it out
and we'll just see

652
00:23:09,088 --> 00:23:11,489
what we think
about everybody else's liquor.

653
00:23:11,524 --> 00:23:12,656
-All right.
-[digger] all right.

654
00:23:12,692 --> 00:23:14,125
[mark] I'm all about that.

655
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:15,292
[tim smith] I'm telling you.

656
00:23:15,328 --> 00:23:16,727
[digger] I'm all about
going to pee-pee.

657
00:23:16,763 --> 00:23:17,661
[tim smith]
that's what I'm saying.

658
00:23:21,067 --> 00:23:23,434
[tickle] digger.

659
00:23:23,469 --> 00:23:24,869
Digger.

660
00:23:24,904 --> 00:23:26,337
I'm the next best thing.

661
00:23:26,372 --> 00:23:28,038
[tickle] well, you know,
I didn't know if digger

662
00:23:28,074 --> 00:23:30,541
would come
unless you called him.

663
00:23:30,576 --> 00:23:31,942
Hell, I'll follow him
wherever he goes.

664
00:23:31,978 --> 00:23:33,511
Will you...Will you follow him
wherever he goes?

665
00:23:33,546 --> 00:23:36,213
You blame him that.

666
00:23:36,249 --> 00:23:38,482
I called you,
he come and running.

667
00:23:38,518 --> 00:23:42,453
Well, fellers, we've got
three jars right here.

668
00:23:42,488 --> 00:23:44,355
They're all covered up.

669
00:23:44,390 --> 00:23:46,223
Well, the best one is mine.

670
00:23:46,259 --> 00:23:48,826
[tickle] I don't know.
Let's see what we got here.

671
00:23:50,329 --> 00:23:54,198
This is jar number
one on the left.

672
00:23:54,233 --> 00:23:55,966
I would like number left.

673
00:23:56,002 --> 00:23:57,868
Good thing it beads,
there's liquor in it.

674
00:23:57,904 --> 00:23:58,602
Let's taste it.

675
00:23:58,638 --> 00:24:02,373
[dramatic music playing]

676
00:24:02,408 --> 00:24:04,275
let's try.

677
00:24:04,310 --> 00:24:06,544
[tickle] as far as I can
tell you right now, who knows?

678
00:24:06,579 --> 00:24:07,845
This is excellent.

679
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:09,814
So far it's the best thing
I've tasted.

680
00:24:09,849 --> 00:24:12,349
This thing right here
is a little bitey to me.

681
00:24:12,385 --> 00:24:14,885
-But rye has got a bite.
-[tickle] yeah, rye does.

682
00:24:14,921 --> 00:24:16,187
It has a little spice to it.

683
00:24:16,222 --> 00:24:19,023
It's the characteristic
it shouldn't have.

684
00:24:19,058 --> 00:24:21,792
I hope that's mine.

685
00:24:21,828 --> 00:24:22,927
[tim smith]
tastes pretty good.

686
00:24:22,962 --> 00:24:24,261
Smells out good.

687
00:24:24,297 --> 00:24:25,763
I ain't gonna lie and tell you

688
00:24:25,798 --> 00:24:27,031
I'm willing to bet
we're fixed.

689
00:24:27,066 --> 00:24:28,098
You come across
and tell you more jars,

690
00:24:28,134 --> 00:24:29,033
damn, and you're like it.

691
00:24:29,068 --> 00:24:30,868
Jar number two.

692
00:24:30,903 --> 00:24:33,170
All right.
Let's see what we got here.

693
00:24:34,740 --> 00:24:36,140
It beads so it's liquor.

694
00:24:36,175 --> 00:24:37,975
-[mark] yeah, a lot of it.
-[tickle] yes, sir.

695
00:24:38,010 --> 00:24:39,543
There's a lot of bead
in there.

696
00:24:39,579 --> 00:24:42,313
I can't say.

697
00:24:42,348 --> 00:24:45,149
That's just because
it's high proof,

698
00:24:45,184 --> 00:24:47,051
it's not good proof.

699
00:24:47,086 --> 00:24:49,453
[tim smith]
hmm. Good and clear.

700
00:24:49,489 --> 00:24:50,588
Good and clear but high proof.

701
00:24:50,623 --> 00:24:52,490
It's got a great nose on it.

702
00:24:52,525 --> 00:24:54,792
I know one time
both of them try.

703
00:24:54,827 --> 00:24:56,193
There's a little
candy taste there

704
00:24:56,229 --> 00:24:57,728
or something going on with...

705
00:24:57,763 --> 00:25:00,998
That's got a funky aftertaste.

706
00:25:01,033 --> 00:25:04,235
That one ain't quite got
what it needs.

707
00:25:04,270 --> 00:25:05,469
It fell a little bit short

708
00:25:05,505 --> 00:25:08,305
but it has a good
smooth drink in there.

709
00:25:08,341 --> 00:25:09,507
Good high proof.

710
00:25:09,542 --> 00:25:10,808
It's very high proof.

711
00:25:10,843 --> 00:25:12,176
Maybe if it was
a little bit lower

712
00:25:12,211 --> 00:25:13,177
it might've been a lot better.

713
00:25:13,212 --> 00:25:14,812
It is...It is high proof

714
00:25:14,847 --> 00:25:16,981
because I ain't gonna lie
and tell you.

715
00:25:17,016 --> 00:25:18,315
[tim smith]
pretty high. Pretty high.

716
00:25:18,351 --> 00:25:21,785
Inside of my lips
is a little numb.

717
00:25:21,821 --> 00:25:23,354
You got anything
in a bottle over there.

718
00:25:23,389 --> 00:25:26,624
All right.
Now we got jar number three.

719
00:25:27,894 --> 00:25:29,994
I'll be damned
that one beads too,

720
00:25:30,029 --> 00:25:31,662
there's liquor in that jar.

721
00:25:31,697 --> 00:25:33,230
[tim smith]
she hot. Way up there.

722
00:25:33,266 --> 00:25:34,465
I didn't get the proof.

723
00:25:39,872 --> 00:25:41,138
A lot of proof there.

724
00:25:41,173 --> 00:25:42,506
It has got
a different nose in it...

725
00:25:42,542 --> 00:25:44,141
All of them.

726
00:25:44,176 --> 00:25:46,877
That one finishes better
than anything I've had so far.

727
00:25:46,913 --> 00:25:48,579
But that's got
to be high proof.

728
00:25:48,614 --> 00:25:50,281
It's a damn good drink alert.

729
00:25:50,316 --> 00:25:51,715
All right. Jar three.

730
00:25:51,751 --> 00:25:55,519
I can't find a thing wrong
with any of them.

731
00:25:55,555 --> 00:25:57,555
[tim smith] I can't go
with the two and three.

732
00:25:57,590 --> 00:25:58,889
Uh, it's got a different...

733
00:25:58,925 --> 00:26:02,293
It's a real, real sweet smell.

734
00:26:02,328 --> 00:26:04,862
I'm gonna have to go back
to number one.

735
00:26:04,897 --> 00:26:06,096
That's your rye right there.

736
00:26:06,132 --> 00:26:07,898
I'm going number one.

737
00:26:07,934 --> 00:26:10,234
It's number one,
number two is number two,

738
00:26:10,269 --> 00:26:11,368
and number three
is number three.

739
00:26:11,404 --> 00:26:12,903
I might be at three, two, one.

740
00:26:12,939 --> 00:26:14,371
I'm going one, three, two.

741
00:26:14,407 --> 00:26:16,073
I may agree in all of that.

742
00:26:16,108 --> 00:26:18,475
I'm sticking
at number one at number one,

743
00:26:18,511 --> 00:26:22,112
number three then number two.

744
00:26:22,148 --> 00:26:23,314

[narrator]<i> but no one</i>

748

Too much oak taste.

00:26:29,655 --> 00:26:31,922
Just a pinch over,
it's too much.

Who's signature is that?

756
00:26:49,208 --> 00:26:50,741
That would be mine.

757
00:26:50,776 --> 00:26:52,309
That would be mark ramsey.

758
00:26:52,345 --> 00:26:54,111
Yeah.
He just called me in third

759
00:26:54,146 --> 00:26:56,380
in a world competition
of the best here.

760
00:26:56,415 --> 00:26:58,382
Nothing to be ashamed of,
right, john?

761
00:26:58,417 --> 00:27:00,517
Let's see who's second.

762
00:27:00,553 --> 00:27:02,119
Here we go.

763
00:27:02,154 --> 00:27:05,756
Mr. Digger, I'm not sure
who the hell number one is.

764
00:27:05,791 --> 00:27:07,257
[tim smith] I hope it's me.

765
00:27:07,293 --> 00:27:10,494
I'll be damned the winning jar
belongs to tim smith.

What we're going to do, y'all
each gonna have 30 minutes.

769
00:27:20,339 --> 00:27:21,572
You're gonna take your jar,

770
00:27:21,607 --> 00:27:23,741
you're gonna put you
some wood chips in it,

771
00:27:23,776 --> 00:27:25,976
you're gonna wrap
and age your stuff.

772
00:27:26,012 --> 00:27:28,612
Fellers, take your jars.

773
00:27:32,184 --> 00:27:33,617

comes down to the people

817
00:29:13,619 --> 00:29:16,487

to make the liquor.

818

00:29:19,925 --> 00:29:21,225
better than others.
We'll see.

828

very light toast oak.

829
00:29:35,407 --> 00:29:38,308
I'm keeping a bottled sample
stupid as you can get it.

830
00:29:38,344 --> 00:29:40,711
There's a very fine line,
if you ain't careful,

831
00:29:40,746 --> 00:29:42,846
you get too much oak state.

832
00:29:42,882 --> 00:29:45,182

is too much.

We got some plain toast
american white

837
00:29:54,426 --> 00:29:55,526
and we got some french toast.

838
00:29:55,561 --> 00:29:57,361
I also got some apple sticks.

839
00:29:57,396 --> 00:29:59,129
[tim jones] have you ever
used that combination before

840
00:29:59,165 --> 00:30:00,464
or is this brand new?

841
00:30:00,499 --> 00:30:02,032
[tim smith] no,
this is brand new to me now.

842
00:30:02,067 --> 00:30:04,234
You only got a few hours to
make this thing change color,

843
00:30:04,270 --> 00:30:05,769
change flavor profile.

844
00:30:05,805 --> 00:30:08,071
Not too worried about the
color but I was very worried

845
00:30:08,107 --> 00:30:10,073
about the taste profile
because you could

846
00:30:10,109 --> 00:30:11,708
destroy this thing.

847
00:30:11,744 --> 00:30:14,411
[tickle] digger, what you got
going on over there?

848
00:30:14,446 --> 00:30:16,013
[digger] I got secret oak.

849
00:30:16,048 --> 00:30:19,116
Trying not to over oak it,
but just to get a sediment,

850
00:30:19,151 --> 00:30:21,652
that big and vanilla
in there hopefully.

851
00:30:21,687 --> 00:30:23,587
-Okay.
-[digger] and I'm gonna hope

852
00:30:23,622 --> 00:30:25,656
that I make
a fine jar of liquor.

853
00:30:25,691 --> 00:30:27,624
[tickle]
he's down to 15 minutes.

854
00:30:27,660 --> 00:30:29,626
[digger]
I got beautiful mahogany color

855
00:30:29,662 --> 00:30:31,895
and tim smith's still over
there, making a milkshake.

856
00:30:31,931 --> 00:30:34,698
[tickle] you got a great
color going on right now.

857
00:30:34,733 --> 00:30:36,867
It'll be mahogany
in the morning.

858
00:30:36,902 --> 00:30:40,470
Tim smith over there
had such a nice color too.

859
00:30:40,506 --> 00:30:42,372
-I'm done.
-I'm done.

860
00:30:42,408 --> 00:30:43,841
[mark] bring it in here, pals.

861
00:30:43,876 --> 00:30:46,743
[tickle]
all right. I have to admit,

862
00:30:46,779 --> 00:30:50,347
that one fine looking
jar of liquor.

863
00:30:51,917 --> 00:30:52,916
-Here.
-Oh,

864
00:30:52,952 --> 00:30:54,918
it's got
a beautiful color to it.

865
00:30:54,954 --> 00:30:56,453
A little bit of apple and
a little bit of french oak.

866
00:30:56,488 --> 00:30:57,821
[tickle]
I'll go along with that.

867
00:30:57,857 --> 00:30:58,822
Sure.

868
00:31:01,961 --> 00:31:05,162
One rapid aged
in jar of liquor.

869
00:31:05,197 --> 00:31:07,064
I'll see you all fellers
in the morning, all right?

870
00:31:07,099 --> 00:31:08,265
[digger]
you do what you gotta do.

871
00:31:08,334 --> 00:31:10,634
I'm going home
and take a shower and...

872
00:31:10,669 --> 00:31:11,969
[tickle] if y'all leave me
here long enough,

873
00:31:12,004 --> 00:31:13,470
I'm drinking some of these.

874
00:31:13,505 --> 00:31:15,272
Let's try this stuff.

875
00:31:15,307 --> 00:31:16,907
It probably
wouldn't hurt to take a sip

876
00:31:16,942 --> 00:31:18,976
out each one of them.

877
00:31:19,011 --> 00:31:21,845
[dramatic music playing]

878
00:31:23,983 --> 00:31:25,549
all right, fellers.

879
00:31:25,584 --> 00:31:27,451
We're gonna have 15 minutes

880
00:31:27,486 --> 00:31:30,220
to strain, filter and blend

881
00:31:30,256 --> 00:31:31,755
that one jar
as much as you can.

882
00:31:31,790 --> 00:31:32,589
I'm really ready for it.

883
00:31:32,625 --> 00:31:33,624
[fred] yeah. I'm excited.

884
00:31:33,659 --> 00:31:34,992
I'm really excited
to taste that.

885
00:31:35,027 --> 00:31:37,828
Fifteen minutes start now.

886
00:31:41,367 --> 00:31:42,799
So I'm noticing like
they all have

887
00:31:42,835 --> 00:31:45,068
very different
filtering techniques here

888
00:31:45,104 --> 00:31:47,704
so we're gonna see
the distillate

889
00:31:47,740 --> 00:31:49,973
and some of the aging
that came through

890
00:31:50,009 --> 00:31:52,175
is going to shine
where others who, you know,

891
00:31:52,211 --> 00:31:53,977
want to filter it out
a little bit.

892
00:31:54,013 --> 00:31:56,179
Tim is using a t-shirt.

893
00:31:56,215 --> 00:31:58,548
You know, I mean I hope he at
least cleaned it before he...

894
00:31:58,584 --> 00:32:00,217
[tim jones] he's gotta
use this t-this for something.

895
00:32:00,252 --> 00:32:01,685
He doesn't wear them.

896
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,253
[tickle] yeah. This is true.

897
00:32:03,289 --> 00:32:05,455
[fred] tim,
why are you using a t-shirt?

898
00:32:05,491 --> 00:32:07,257
[tim smith]
back in my growing up days,

899
00:32:07,293 --> 00:32:09,026
we have to use what we had.

900
00:32:09,061 --> 00:32:10,928
And if you had something
you need to strain that out

901
00:32:10,963 --> 00:32:12,829
and you have
a piece of clothing on you,

902
00:32:12,898 --> 00:32:15,265
you pull it off
and use that to strain it.

903
00:32:15,334 --> 00:32:17,301
Thank you for not using
underwear today.

904
00:32:17,336 --> 00:32:18,368
I appreciate that.

905
00:32:18,404 --> 00:32:20,170
That's for date night.

906
00:32:20,205 --> 00:32:21,605
That's what that is.

907
00:32:25,444 --> 00:32:26,677
[fred] so I'm curious.

908
00:32:26,712 --> 00:32:28,178
Did everybody have
the same recipe?

909
00:32:28,213 --> 00:32:30,948
I put us together
a prohibition type liquor.

910
00:32:30,983 --> 00:32:34,818
It's about 55 to 57 percent
rye, malt extract.

911
00:32:34,853 --> 00:32:36,687
All extract whiskey.

912
00:32:36,722 --> 00:32:39,022
[mark]
it's a cask strength whiskey.

913
00:32:39,058 --> 00:32:40,490
It's about 125.

914
00:32:40,526 --> 00:32:42,326
[fred] well, that's what tim
brushes his teeth with

915
00:32:42,361 --> 00:32:44,027
is cask strength whiskey,
so...

916
00:32:44,063 --> 00:32:45,462
I ain't scared of it.

917
00:32:45,497 --> 00:32:48,732
So, mark, is this is the
first time you've ran extract?

918
00:32:48,767 --> 00:32:52,436
[mark] tim, this is my
very first run of extract.

919
00:32:52,471 --> 00:32:55,439
I used rye extract
then I added a [indistinct]

920
00:32:55,474 --> 00:32:56,707
-in the rye.
-Okay.

921
00:32:56,742 --> 00:32:59,376
Rye, you know,
it's a finicky mistress

922
00:32:59,411 --> 00:33:01,178
but you work
with what you got,

923
00:33:01,213 --> 00:33:04,014
do the best you can with it
and move forward.

924
00:33:04,049 --> 00:33:06,149
[tim jones] I think there is
a little bit of an upper hand

925
00:33:06,185 --> 00:33:09,186
with extracts
because it's pretty dialed in.

926
00:33:09,221 --> 00:33:11,521
But the nice thing
about using grain is that

927
00:33:11,557 --> 00:33:13,390
you can experiment
and do your own thing.

928
00:33:13,425 --> 00:33:14,925
Tim was using grains.

929
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,160
[tim smith]
it's 100% rye in my mash bill.

930
00:33:17,196 --> 00:33:19,329
Only thing
that I added to my recipe

931
00:33:19,365 --> 00:33:21,865
is I did add some apples
to my thumper

932
00:33:21,934 --> 00:33:23,900
so the rye came through that.

933
00:33:23,936 --> 00:33:26,903
[tim jones] so we got
an apple, rye with grain

934
00:33:26,939 --> 00:33:29,072
and two different
extract builds.

935
00:33:29,108 --> 00:33:31,975
[fred]
we have some bizarre rye...

936
00:33:32,011 --> 00:33:33,543
-Yeah. Yeah.
-...Coming out way.

937
00:33:38,283 --> 00:33:40,717
It's before the rubber
hits the road ain't it?

938
00:33:40,753 --> 00:33:42,352
I can't say
hella lot about this

939
00:33:42,388 --> 00:33:45,989
but it sure is attractive.

940
00:33:46,025 --> 00:33:48,258
[mark] yeah.
I'm happy with my color.

941
00:33:50,295 --> 00:33:52,529
[digger] here goes nothing.

942
00:33:52,564 --> 00:33:53,797
Good luck, fellers.

943
00:33:53,832 --> 00:33:56,600
[mark] I'll lay it.
Go in with an open mind.

944
00:33:56,635 --> 00:34:00,337
I can't say I've seen a
prettier jar turned in so far.

945
00:34:00,372 --> 00:34:03,540
Yeah.

946
00:34:03,542 --> 00:34:05,575
Got a little less in his jar.

947
00:34:05,611 --> 00:34:07,344
-A little less than your...
-Because I drank some of it.

948
00:34:07,379 --> 00:34:09,813
-[tickle] yeah.
-But I'm gonna have to say

949
00:34:09,848 --> 00:34:14,051
this is the best jar
of whiskey rapid aged

950
00:34:14,086 --> 00:34:15,886
that I have made in my life.

951
00:34:15,921 --> 00:34:16,987
And bringing
in the confidence, huh?

952
00:34:17,022 --> 00:34:18,588
He is.

953
00:34:18,624 --> 00:34:22,059
I am 100% confident
in that jar without a doubt.

954
00:34:22,094 --> 00:34:23,627
-That's great.
-So good.

955
00:34:23,662 --> 00:34:25,095
He's got our mouth
filled water over here.

956
00:34:25,130 --> 00:34:26,563
[tim jones] I know.
We look forward to it, tim.

957
00:34:26,598 --> 00:34:28,331
He thinks he wins master
marketer out of these?

958
00:34:28,367 --> 00:34:29,966
-[tickle] exactly.
-[tim jones] that's right.

959
00:34:30,002 --> 00:34:31,568
[tickle] if it turns up, damn,
I'm gonna be upset.

960
00:34:33,939 --> 00:34:36,139
[mark] all right, fellers,
I'll say this.

961
00:34:36,175 --> 00:34:40,210
It was full and from the time
it got from here to here,

962
00:34:40,245 --> 00:34:42,045
it got a lot better. So...

963
00:34:42,081 --> 00:34:43,680
Yeah. All right.

964
00:34:46,085 --> 00:34:48,251
We have seen a dramatic
difference in one day

965
00:34:48,287 --> 00:34:50,487
when it comes
to aging this stuff.

966
00:34:50,522 --> 00:34:52,622
[fred] tickle,
I'm not actually in favor

967
00:34:52,658 --> 00:34:54,891
of rapid aging
when it comes to, like,

968
00:34:54,927 --> 00:34:56,226
the commercial products.

969
00:34:56,261 --> 00:34:58,261
There's no replacing time

970
00:34:58,297 --> 00:34:59,930
when it comes
to making whiskey.

971
00:34:59,965 --> 00:35:01,198
You're right about that.

972
00:35:01,233 --> 00:35:02,899
[tim jones] father time
and mother nature

973
00:35:02,935 --> 00:35:04,534
are best two ingredients.

974
00:35:04,570 --> 00:35:06,303
[digger] you know, in our
neighborhood back in the day,

975
00:35:06,338 --> 00:35:08,004
you'd have people
that would pour

976
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:09,773
a little coke
or dr. Pepper it.

977
00:35:09,808 --> 00:35:11,374
When it turned
into pretty color,

978
00:35:11,410 --> 00:35:13,543
they would jar it up and they
would sell it for age lift.

979
00:35:13,579 --> 00:35:15,612
They would get $10
more out of it.

980
00:35:15,647 --> 00:35:18,482
[fred] that's the old fashion
rectifier technique.

981
00:35:18,517 --> 00:35:21,985
They used to pour prune juice
and tobacco spit in the 1800s.

982
00:35:22,020 --> 00:35:23,620
Well, I told mark,
I thought about putting

983
00:35:23,655 --> 00:35:25,755
a little tobacco juice in mine
to color up.

984
00:35:30,062 --> 00:35:32,796
[narrator]<i> in the final round</i>
<i> of the ultimate rematch,</i>

985
00:35:32,831 --> 00:35:35,565
<i> mark, tim and digger have</i>
<i> turned in their best jars</i>

986
00:35:35,634 --> 00:35:37,501
<i> of rapidly aged whiskey</i>

987
00:35:37,536 --> 00:35:40,937
<i> to two of america's</i>
<i> top whiskey experts.</i>

988
00:35:40,973 --> 00:35:44,541
<i> And backwoods'</i>
<i> moonshine master, tickle.</i>

989
00:35:44,576 --> 00:35:47,677
First jar we have up here
is digger.

990
00:35:47,713 --> 00:35:51,081
Well, first nose in a three,

991
00:35:51,116 --> 00:35:52,949
smells more berry to me.

992
00:35:52,984 --> 00:35:54,251
There's a funk to this.

993
00:35:54,286 --> 00:35:55,719
[digger]
this was an experiment.

994
00:35:55,754 --> 00:35:58,522
I have never ran any
of that malt extract before.

995
00:36:04,730 --> 00:36:06,263
[fred] it takes
a whole better than it smells.

996
00:36:06,298 --> 00:36:07,931
Tastes a whole lot better.
Yeah.

997
00:36:07,966 --> 00:36:10,567
It smells like I don't wanna
put it anywhere near my lips,

998
00:36:10,602 --> 00:36:13,603
but once I taste it,
I'm getting some honey notes,

999
00:36:13,639 --> 00:36:16,373
uh, like some maple syrup,
a little rye toast.

1000
00:36:16,408 --> 00:36:18,542
[tickle] you nailed it dead
on the head right there.

1001
00:36:18,577 --> 00:36:19,509
Even going back to it,

1002
00:36:19,545 --> 00:36:20,810
I think it gets
a little better.

1003
00:36:20,846 --> 00:36:22,646
But I think the finish
is really great too.

1004
00:36:22,681 --> 00:36:25,748
A high proof, the rye helps
cut through the aging process.

1005
00:36:25,751 --> 00:36:28,919
So here is tim smith.

1006
00:36:28,954 --> 00:36:30,754
I am very confident.

1007
00:36:30,789 --> 00:36:33,356
[digger]
well, it don't show. I mean...

1008
00:36:33,392 --> 00:36:34,758
You haven't tasted it yet.

1009
00:36:34,793 --> 00:36:37,928
The nose is light years.
So much better than...

1010
00:36:37,996 --> 00:36:40,130
Yeah. We're talking
this is real rye.

1011
00:36:40,165 --> 00:36:42,699
Oh, yeah. I actually get
a touch of the apple on it.

1012
00:36:42,734 --> 00:36:45,001
-[fred] this nose is gorgeous.
-[tim jones] it is.

1013
00:36:45,037 --> 00:36:47,137
[mark] I'm in intimidated
by a lot of things.

1014
00:36:47,172 --> 00:36:49,206
Tim smith ain't one of them.

1015
00:36:49,241 --> 00:36:51,708
I almost feel like tim
is really onto something.

1016
00:36:51,743 --> 00:36:53,376
-[fred] this is complex.
-[tim jones] it is.

1017
00:36:53,412 --> 00:36:55,545
There's some really,
really nice notes

1018
00:36:55,581 --> 00:36:59,449
that are still standing strong
against the wood.

1019
00:36:59,484 --> 00:37:02,285
[fred] this has chestnuts
roasting on an open fire.

1020
00:37:02,321 --> 00:37:04,754
It's got ginger cookies,
it's got cardamom.

1021
00:37:04,790 --> 00:37:06,423
-It does.
-[fred] it's got cinnamon.

1022
00:37:06,458 --> 00:37:10,026
Every memory
of my holidays growing up

1023
00:37:10,062 --> 00:37:11,795
sitting around the fire
with my family.

1024
00:37:11,830 --> 00:37:13,463
[tim jones] think if you can
somehow put nostalgia

1025
00:37:13,498 --> 00:37:15,198
in a bottle,
you've got something.

1026
00:37:15,234 --> 00:37:16,900
[fred] it's smart to go with
what you know and tim...

1027
00:37:16,935 --> 00:37:18,301
-[tim jones] true.
-...Did what he knew.

1028
00:37:18,337 --> 00:37:20,036
Mark ramsey.

1029
00:37:20,072 --> 00:37:22,872
[mark] I only got four jars.

1030
00:37:22,908 --> 00:37:25,442
Uh-oh. Uh-oh.

1031
00:37:25,477 --> 00:37:26,977
-You know what's funny?
-Smells great.

1032
00:37:27,012 --> 00:37:29,613
[mark] it has made me
the respect for the pressure

1033
00:37:29,648 --> 00:37:32,282
that the contests
are under by being

1034
00:37:32,317 --> 00:37:34,651
on that side
of the table myself.

1035
00:37:34,686 --> 00:37:36,019
He really played it down.

1036
00:37:36,054 --> 00:37:37,320
-He did.
-[tickle] he did.

1037
00:37:37,356 --> 00:37:40,390
And I think there's
humbleness in this jar.

1038
00:37:40,425 --> 00:37:43,460
[fred] my goodness. Uh-oh.
Watch out, tim.

1039
00:37:43,528 --> 00:37:45,128
On the nose, fred,
I don't get the complexity

1040
00:37:45,163 --> 00:37:46,529
as tim's but...

1041
00:37:46,565 --> 00:37:48,331
[fred] there's one note
in here that sticks out

1042
00:37:48,367 --> 00:37:50,467
in a big, big way
and that's cherries.

1043
00:37:50,502 --> 00:37:53,203
It's good.
It's got a drier note for me.

1044
00:37:53,238 --> 00:37:55,405
I don't know, fred.
I like the finish of it.

1045
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:56,740
Mmm-hmm.

1046
00:37:56,775 --> 00:37:59,042
It's got almost
like a raw dough.

1047
00:37:59,077 --> 00:38:01,811
It's not a cookie dough
but it's like a bread dough.

1048
00:38:01,847 --> 00:38:04,881
And that can be
a very enticing flavor

1049
00:38:04,916 --> 00:38:06,283
if you're in the mood for it.

1050
00:38:06,318 --> 00:38:08,385
On the other side,
there's just a touch of spice.

1051
00:38:08,420 --> 00:38:09,786
I mean I don't know where
you guys sip but I think...

1052
00:38:09,821 --> 00:38:11,187
Yeah.

1053
00:38:11,223 --> 00:38:12,322
[tim jones]
...There's no doubt on it.

1054
00:38:17,129 --> 00:38:18,695
[tickle] all right, fellers.

1055
00:38:18,730 --> 00:38:22,232
I'd love to say
this was an easy decision,

1056
00:38:22,267 --> 00:38:24,434
but it was not.

1057
00:38:24,503 --> 00:38:26,136
Digger,
when I first smelled it,

1058
00:38:26,171 --> 00:38:28,972
I didn't wanna drink it.
The nose was...

1059
00:38:29,007 --> 00:38:31,074
-It's harsh.
-...Peculiar to me.

1060
00:38:31,109 --> 00:38:33,276
Pretty sure
that was the extract.

1061
00:38:33,312 --> 00:38:36,479
Then I tasted it
and it did a 180.

1062
00:38:36,515 --> 00:38:38,615
The palate was so much better.

1063
00:38:38,650 --> 00:38:41,685
I think that's probably a
little bit of that rapid aging

1064
00:38:41,720 --> 00:38:44,321
but your jar was absolute

1065
00:38:44,356 --> 00:38:46,189
a master of his craft
in distilling.

1066
00:38:46,224 --> 00:38:47,590
No flaws in it.

1067
00:38:47,626 --> 00:38:50,193
Digger, on the nose,
I'm not as harsh on it.

1068
00:38:50,228 --> 00:38:52,595
There was just
a little bit of funk on it.

1069
00:38:52,631 --> 00:38:55,131
But on the palate,
it is really good.

1070
00:38:56,802 --> 00:38:59,002
[fred] mark, drinking yours,

1071
00:38:59,037 --> 00:39:01,771
I was not thinking
I was drinking a whiskey,

1072
00:39:01,807 --> 00:39:04,974
I was thinking
I was drinking a beer stout.

1073
00:39:05,010 --> 00:39:07,444
And so when this is all over,
I'm gonna go get a beer, so...

1074
00:39:07,479 --> 00:39:09,245
[mark] okay.

1075
00:39:09,281 --> 00:39:12,148
[fred] much like digger,
you're to be commended

1076
00:39:12,184 --> 00:39:14,718
for creating something
that is very, very drinkable

1077
00:39:14,753 --> 00:39:17,253
because people are not
out there distilling extract.

1078
00:39:17,289 --> 00:39:18,588
-Right.
-[fred] and you made

1079
00:39:18,623 --> 00:39:19,923
something here that
could be put on the shelf.

1080
00:39:19,958 --> 00:39:21,291
Thank you, fred.

1081
00:39:21,326 --> 00:39:22,559
[tim jones]
but I felt like balance

1082
00:39:22,594 --> 00:39:24,227
of what you were doing
with your distillate

1083
00:39:24,262 --> 00:39:26,429
and in the extract
and the aging,

1084
00:39:26,465 --> 00:39:29,232
there was a much
better balance on the palate.

1085
00:39:29,267 --> 00:39:31,334
It was really well done.

1086
00:39:31,370 --> 00:39:35,205
Tim, you bragged
that thing up so much

1087
00:39:35,240 --> 00:39:39,576
that you almost planted a seed
in us for us to not like it.

1088
00:39:39,611 --> 00:39:42,011
You know as my mama
told me growing up,

1089
00:39:42,047 --> 00:39:45,215
nobody likes a bragger,
but when I tasted that,

1090
00:39:45,250 --> 00:39:46,716
they remind me something else
from my mama.

1091
00:39:46,752 --> 00:39:48,752
And that was her cookies
when I was growing up.

1092
00:39:48,787 --> 00:39:52,155
So your technique in using
the various pieces of wood

1093
00:39:52,190 --> 00:39:55,759
compensated for the 100% rye,
brought some balance to it.

1094
00:39:55,794 --> 00:39:57,660
You know, I thought
the complexity on that,

1095
00:39:57,696 --> 00:39:59,095
as soon as we went
to the nose,

1096
00:39:59,131 --> 00:40:01,331
there was a lot of surprise
and delight in there,

1097
00:40:01,366 --> 00:40:03,600
rye notes,
the apple balancing that out

1098
00:40:03,635 --> 00:40:05,135
was really impressive.

1099
00:40:05,170 --> 00:40:06,803
It's hard to make rye smooth.

1100
00:40:06,838 --> 00:40:08,938
It is and I think
the assortment of wood chips

1101
00:40:08,974 --> 00:40:10,039
really played in your favor.

1102
00:40:10,075 --> 00:40:11,241
And that was a first for me.

1103
00:40:11,276 --> 00:40:12,575
-[tim jones] it was.
-That was a first.

1104
00:40:12,611 --> 00:40:13,810
[tim jones] and I think
you rolled the dice.

1105
00:40:13,845 --> 00:40:15,378
Have to say there's a little
bit of luck in that one.

1106
00:40:15,414 --> 00:40:17,247
[tim jones] but we taste
a lot of the same things.

1107
00:40:17,282 --> 00:40:19,783
And over time,
you get a little bored

1108
00:40:19,818 --> 00:40:21,851
and I think what you guys
did for us today

1109
00:40:21,887 --> 00:40:25,221
was challenge it,
made it interesting.

1110
00:40:25,257 --> 00:40:26,856
We had to pick it apart
a little differently

1111
00:40:26,892 --> 00:40:28,558
than we normally do.

1112
00:40:28,593 --> 00:40:31,561
And all three of you
are masters, we know that.

1113
00:40:31,596 --> 00:40:34,497
-There has to be one winner.
-[fred] yeah.

1114
00:40:34,533 --> 00:40:36,266
But I think
all three of you brought

1115
00:40:36,301 --> 00:40:38,067
-really great jars to us.
-Thank you, tim.

1116
00:40:38,103 --> 00:40:39,269
-Thank you, tim.
-[tim jones] yup.

1117
00:40:39,304 --> 00:40:41,304
[tickle] they were all winners

1118
00:40:41,339 --> 00:40:43,406
and that made
this hard to judge.

1119
00:40:43,442 --> 00:40:45,575
[fred] but I feel like
we have one jar

1120
00:40:45,610 --> 00:40:47,744
that stood out to me
as something

1121
00:40:47,779 --> 00:40:51,147
that I'm buying tomorrow
if it's on the shelf.

1122
00:40:51,183 --> 00:40:52,715
[tim jones] yup.

1123
00:40:52,751 --> 00:40:56,085
Tim smith,

1124
00:40:56,121 --> 00:40:58,288
that's your winning jar
right there.

1125
00:40:58,323 --> 00:41:02,058
-Yup. It is.
-Like a commercial drink jar.

1126
00:41:02,093 --> 00:41:03,726
I made a lot of mistakes
in my life

1127
00:41:03,762 --> 00:41:05,328
and that jar
is not one of them.

1128
00:41:05,363 --> 00:41:06,429
-It's great. It was...
-I was very...

1129
00:41:06,465 --> 00:41:07,797
I was very proud of it.

1130
00:41:07,833 --> 00:41:09,466
[digger] it's a noble
experiment on our part.

1131
00:41:09,501 --> 00:41:13,303
To have the winner
chasing our original recipe,

1132
00:41:13,338 --> 00:41:15,038
that don't hurt
too bad either.

1133
00:41:15,073 --> 00:41:17,006
But it's a whole lot better
with another drink.

1134
00:41:17,042 --> 00:41:18,908
They always say that imitation

1135
00:41:18,944 --> 00:41:20,643
is the best form
of a compliment.

1136
00:41:20,679 --> 00:41:22,145
I'm ready to taste
tim smith's.

1137
00:41:22,180 --> 00:41:23,880
Digger won first last year.

1138
00:41:23,915 --> 00:41:25,482
I won first this year.

1139
00:41:25,517 --> 00:41:27,083
But right now,
I think it's time for mark

1140
00:41:27,118 --> 00:41:28,485
to put one on the bowl.

1141
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:30,186
I'm tasting the [bleep]
I'm ready to start now.

1142
00:41:30,222 --> 00:41:32,622
-[tickle] yeah. Right.
-Yeah.
