Moonshiners Have A Spiced Rum Faceoff! | Moonshiners: Master Distiller

[@K-Fed]

Matt's attitude and moonshine reminds me of every hipster bar I've been to. The drinks are incredibly complicated and take a lot of effort to produce, but they all end up tasting horrible. Then you get the $21 tab for a drink that you don't even want to finish.

[@criminallyautistic8372]

What's a hipster?

[@K-Fed]

@@criminallyautistic8372 If you can come up with a user name like that, you can Google search what a hipster is. Don't be such a useless individual and use that head on your shoulders for something other than playing games or finding porn on the internet.

[@criminallyautistic8372]

@@K-Fed Okay first of all. I got this name from a Lord of the Rings joke on KZbin. That had nothing to do with porn(I mean, orcs, really) Second, I'm not someone who goes out their way to look up every new slang people, who have more time than me, come up with like boomer, groomer, karen, hipster. Third I was simply asking. I feel like you were coming at me with an attitude. "How dare I not know what a hipster is?!" Its not that big of deal. Either just tell me or don't respond. And referring to me as a useless individual wasn't called for, if I didn't insult you, don't insult me. If you're having a bad day I hope it gets better. Edit: And I just looked it up its someone who's into vintage like old pocket watches or something, apparently.

As I've said, that is a horrible trait to have if you want to exist in the professional world.

They literally tasted it and instantly said too much orange, it doesn’t matter if you used 1 orange or 12, it was too much. On top of that, they were literally watching you make your drink like they know how much orange you put in because they saw you put it in. That dude really came off like an asshole

[@doronstauber7285]

im glad you tasted it ? Havent you heard of herd mentality im prettty sure thats what like 90% of these shows suffer from thats why in real competitions judges are solo and not a 3 man panel because they get to form their own opinions without others influencing it. They never said it was shit, they said it had to much orange/citrus which like he noted depending on where your from tastes completly different. someone from hawaii might love the citrus rum while someone from texas wants his bourbon or a smoky rum.

I guess it depends, is "spirit" meant to be as old as liquor, generally speaking? Or is spirit synonymous with rum in this, just because they happen to be making rum?

[@DoctorMagoo111]

@@johnfoster9160 Synonymous with rum, but I think the line is talking about, "For nearly as long as there was rum, people have been spicing it." Sometimes the base spirit has been around longer than newer variants - consider gin, which started as a medicinal before navigating to the botanical flavored spirits we have today.
