A private tasting tour through a Baijiu (Chinese spirit) distillery

[@kennyg-888]

Daniel, Great to see you back. For someone without a TV background, you make a wonderful presenter. You make it look effortless, natural and totally unscripted? Looking forward to the next one.

[@DanielDumbrill]

Thanks! Unscripted, which was fun, as it feels more like the audience is experiencing everything for the first time with me as I explore, but it did come at the expense of missing some key points/facts that would've been good to include. I'll have to do a follow up visit sometime 😄

[@isoldel9313]

​@@DanielDumbrillyou have a serious talent in this. definitely do more of those things...

[@mytube30005]

​@@DanielDumbrillI miss seeing your videos. Please make more.

[@pNHGpNHG]

Thousands of THANKS So Much Mr DANIEL DUMBRILL. Please do more video contents of visiting different Factories on other PRC varieties of Food & Beverage & Chili Sauce ( Lao Gan Ma ) Mushrooms Farm products ... whenever you have more free time.

[@timmarrr234]

Please do more of this, very entertaining and informative at the same time!

[@Zim-ks6pb]

Daniel, you are showing us Chinese culture in such an interesting way. Your work is magnificent.

[@44bett]

Agree

[@debscatena]

Daniel , so interesting to see you on the job again, between heavy topics you are one of a few people on China who seem to have a fair and impartial take on so much stuff, so thankful I found you out in 2019...... cheers and jeers, onwards and upwards.

[@PomegranateChocolate]

The serve the people avatar is stupid as fuck.

[@uyghurfalundafabs7234]

Mandarin very good.

[@morontracker9803]

Well I need say no more. Exactly what I feel. 😊

[@sapaiyo9810]

You speak superb Mandarin . Amazing

[@DesignEnthusiast83]

Wow. This content and the quality is better than watching news channels. Your Mandarin is surprisingly good. Very nice work.

[@cheese-df1yx]

Great to see your update after long time! Amazing video! I like baijiu a lot! Maotai, wuliangye, jiannanchun... I heard the Yang He long time ago. It is one of 8 old traditional baijiu brands in China. But I never try it before, I just bought one bottle Hai Zhi Lan 2 weeks ago during my recent holiday in China. Have not try it yet, plan to try it during coming Chinese new year! So nice to watch your video, I learn more on traditional baijiu making process! Chinese baijiu is really the best liquid from the grains. It makes me love it more! Really appreciate your video, Daniel! Greetings from Singapore!

[@ketracel]

Hi Daniel, it's always a pleasure to see a new video from you! While I thoroughly enjoy your discussions on geopolitics, I can't help but feel your talents were somewhat underutilized when you were engaged in countering the constant barrage of misguided and irresponsible Western propaganda. It's important work, no doubt, but your ability to bring Chinese culture to life and introduce your audience to the day-to-day lives of people in China is truly exceptional. I encourage you to continue creating content that explores this area! I'd love to see more of the places you've been invited to. Showcasing the day-to-day lives of average Chinese workers and people is probably going to be the best way of demonstrating to the average indoctrinated Westerner that we're all not so different. Keep it up, and cheers!

[@francoisehembert3243]

great video! Thank you, and I hope to see more of you in 2024.

[@44bett]

Hi Daniel, miss your videos from travel to geopolitics. Someday you need to write a book on your informative and interesting life. Adios from Southern California.

[@PinkR_Tulip]

Wishing you and your family a happy and prosperous 2024. 🥂

[@erich623]

Good to see you back Daniel.

[@leiyang25]

Danny, you speak Chinese fluently and with a tinge of Sichuan/CQ accent. What a treat to hear that👍

[@littledovecitydust]

He slips a lot of Neige in his conversations

[@sandraweiss1652]

So wonderful to see you again!

[@gmanhan8305]

Very unique. Much appreciated.

[@TheRidesafe]

Happy new year Daniel , great to see you , it does not matter what you publish , we keep follow you , thanks man

[@boonteoh2346]

[@stom8360]

Happy New Year Daniel - good to see you back! ❤🇨🇦

[@syncmaster915n]

Happy New Year! Thanks for a fascinating tour of the distillery. 2000 years of wine making...that's quite something.

[@cgshka2818]

Always support your channel. Keep good work. Stay healthy and happy.

[@DrakeLimOfficial]

Great to see you back with a different type of content. I would love to find out more about these type of content too, let us know more about China’s alcoholic beverages.

[@vanila2012]

Nice to see you back again.

[@SS-ko2lt]

I had no idea you could speak Chinese, and so well! Daniel the man!

[@johnyossarian9059]

Daniel, Happy New Year to you and family! I hope this means you will be releasing more videos in 2024!

[@antiimperialism2739]

Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to more postings.

[@ThorusCrusius]

It takes more than two over 70% brews to knock Daniel out 🤭 I'm not into alcohol but love seeing you presenting an unbiased view on China and the life over there 🇩🇪 ❤ 🇨🇳

[@sho38]

Thx Daniel! Do more of these videos please.

[@champagnesupernova5745]

Very interesting! Glad to see you looking well and happy!

[@alanclw6024]

Wonderful to see you back

[@daltl3716]

honestly such an interesting video, personally would love to see more like this.

[@BeijingBuzzz-China-Travel]

It is always a treat when Daniel fires up his camera ...

[@Jimmy_Chow]

好久不见，一上来就喝白酒，哈哈哈哈哈😊

[@nostradamus2642]

Daniel, most interestingly presented doco on the subject matter. I somehow experienced through imagination the differences in taste, aroma and texture of the Baiju you sampled.

[@wroughtforge7547]

The difference between vodka and beijao is that you don’t get a hang over with baijao. With vodka or other distilled spirits, the more you drink, the sleepier you get, with baijao, you get high but not inebriated. Of course, it also depends on one’s own personal chemical make up.

[@mantapdjiwa9768]

why is that ? different kind of alcohol or different kind of liquid beside alcohol itself ?

[@wroughtforge7547]

@@mantapdjiwa9768 The secret is in the fermentation.

[@JK_Clark]

@@mantapdjiwa9768 The Baijiu hangover is in a different category to vodka or gin (or Soju), as they don't make you want to tear your eyes out.

[@banshong3997]

Daniel. Glad to have you back. Keep on speaking with your hard hitting Videos 💪💪💪 definitely show more contents like this ❤

[@kko-punch7059]

Yes show us more of China Baijiu production!!! It’s very Interesting! Great to see you talking about different subjects rather than politics 👍👍

[@charliefu3873]

It is my hometown!

[@WongJTSAlex]

Look forward to watching your next Baijiu factory visit

[@billhearing3355]

Amazing, thank you for your effort for making this informative and interesting video.

[@CorradoVR6z]

This was very nice. Miss you putting out content more often.

[@YoonJintae98]

Not a drinker, but my great grandfather would have a baijiu right before meal, LCBO here in Canada don't have much options for baijiu, would love to try some. Interesting vid👍

[@vincentcheng7313]

Wow! Fascinating and great job Daniel👍🏻 Love every second of the series.

[@lhgrandgtr4778]

This guys communications skills are superb. And the production quality is pretty high. Keep up the amazing work.

[@g00nther]

Education and research 😄 Always enjoy seeing content from you Daniel, heavy or light. Thanks.

[@pefsgk5092]

Wow Daniel, I'm impressed with your putonghua's proficiency.

[@davebullock3517]

Great to see you Daniel, and this was an awesome video. When I saw the 100 litre pots I immediately thought of the movie Red Sorghrum. 😂

[@lucleoni]

I liked this video very much, In Belgium Brussels we make natural-yeasted beers "Lambic, Gueuze, Cherry, and Faro, the natural yeast is in the air in this region. I learned about Baijij brewing in the film Red Sorghum, a movie by Zhang Yimou. Keep them coming 👍👍👍

[@DanielDumbrill]

Some great beers. They inspired a massive farmhouse ale business in the US also, particularly in the sour beer category.

[@Allgood33]

Wow Daniel. I've followed you for years. And the improvement of your Mandarin is remarkable. If I didn't look at the screen, I would have thought it was a Chinese speaking. Two thumbs up, Daniel !!!

[@sleo3720]

Fantastic video so much to learn from this amazing tour keep up the good work and thanks for sharing Happy New Year 😊

[@feifeizhang1331]

Good show, really enjoy it 👍

[@shadyhazza]

Doing the important science I see ! Senior Mixologist, what a job, and job title

the subtitles are doing a funky flash thing part way thru when u talk to him

[@johniii4955]

Nice scenery straight out looks like a movie.

[@NejcEber]

Happy to see you back on a tour :)

[@GeoffreyChun]

Thank you, Daniel. Love to watch your video, it's informative. From Newmarket, Ontario

[@DanielDumbrill]

Thanks for watching. Newmarket is my old hometown/where I grew up.

[@darrishawks6033]

It's fascinating that they ferment the grains without liquid

[@PrimeChaosVC]

I enjoy your political videos more, then again, it is good that you are talking nonpolitical issues. All the best.

[@yewhocktan5112]

Daniel, long time no see, not heard from you! Wishing you a Very Happy and Prosperous 2024!

[@dweilyu]

Very interesting and very informative, nice video.

[@ZenLH]

Nice and very interesting tour

[@PS-383]

Early morning baijiu? Taking one for the subscribers. What a guy!

[@ParkerAt941]

Bro so warm to see you back, and happy new year!

[@morontracker9803]

Good to see you back! I remember you also did one episode about n95 mask factory. Really love the factory visit!!! Please do more!

[@MrEroshan]

What the distiller said about microorganism in nature starting fermentation is why you can have a variety of flavors depending on where the grain comes from. When you make Kimchi you completely salt the cabbage to kill other microorganisms present and only the salt tolerant fermenter will survive and go on to ferment the Kimchi into the flavor we enjoy.

[@luosuo9929]

Happy New Year! Lucky you Daniel! I've been drinking Yanghe since I was 4-yr old. ;) And it's always been my favorite baijiu since.

[@georwoogle]

Didn't know your Chinese is that good, Daniel.👍👍👍

[@alanfriesen9837]

Thank you for bringing us along. This was fun.

[@rodneyteo5766]

Love to see more of this, you are a natural.....great presentation and interesting stuff...

[@jvp9703]

I've have a bottle of Yanghe Daqu. It's pretty nice. While the Strong aroma flavour isn't my favourite I appreciate the craft that goes into producing it.

[@NoelLee89]

Good to see you again Daniel.

[@gentlemana1204]

If you enjoy whisky, you can enjoy baijiu as well.

[@vilester]

Amazing wish I could do a tour at these places

[@w.l.5468]

A long awaited video since your last one, Daniel. And this didn't disappoint. Sure, a lot more relaxed tone that what some of us earlier followers may be used to, but it is always great to see and hear you talk, man. I have been steadily going to SZ a lot more but yet to check out your craft brewery. On my to-do list! Hope to catch you at your place, once I do make it over. Just got to make sure I head off to the OG one rather than the other franchises.

[@gangshan]

Gosh, looks like a palace!

[@ecoflex0030]

Nice show, as always❤

[@SPLITSLEEVE]

Daniel looks so young without his beard. Good looking man.

[@RichardBrett899]

Hello, Daniel! I am glad to see your video again. Happy New Year. All the best to you and your family.

[@bandnvand]

Very cool stuff! Glad to see you back man

[@lancewood1410]

When i go Shenzhen this year, i'll make sure i drop by your outlet for some craft beer :)

[@wildmanofhk]

Thank you Daniel, I really enjoyed this.

[@michaelmarchal4004]

Who misses Daniel content puts its hands up.🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@elboon_80]

I’ve not been watching you for a long time… it’s too heavy … but am totally thankful that you are doing real journalism that the so-called journalist aren’t sanctioned to do. But also totally amazed to see you do a totally different kind of videos. Perhaps such videos would be more able to show case life in China and reach more people and enable more outsiders to know China really is… ;)

[@lll3708]

老家，洋河，必须来点个赞

[@paulwei5828]

Very good one

[@Tube4mj]

Ha! Ha! Watching this I went and grabbed a shot of Moutai :)

[@Tube4mj]

LOL, that will probably do me till next New Year 🤣🤣🤣. Great video

[@wanxinmike]

I had some 20 year old army supplied Maotai with my uncle when I visited last year, it was sooooo good.

[@calfolkionized]

Really loving this format Daniel! Very intersting to see how our 白酒 is made!

[@TheMrleeyang]

This was really impressive and informative. Really would like to see more of it. But perhaps you can go abit more into the process rather than just showing. But I guess that is way more work and would need them to rehearse with you.

[@DanielDumbrill]

Thanks for your comment. I agree with you and it's something I thought about when editing the video. I looked at some of the other info (such as how distillation actually works) as it's something that's obvious to me, but forgot that many people may not have been exposed to this info before. I'll have to go into more detail next time.

[@hsingchen5141]

Very interesting !

[@patinka816]

Have missed your voice on politics, but love the travel videos too.
