distilled CANDY CANES kick like a horse (and our tank CRACKED) | Will It Distill?

Candy cane alcohol? Let's go. It's the most intense (and weirdly good?) distillation experiment we've done in this series - by far. Thanks to Mr Black for sponsoring this episode! Check out availability for your area on their website. mrblack.co/us/

The “will it distill?” is easily the best thing ever on this channel

[@jakubblaha4904]

Nah, Brianna making random tiktok/themed drinks is best :-P

[@benjaminpage4911]

Hear me out, let's combine the 2 Brianna creates new cocktails with the new spirit and they have to rate it.... guaranteed to bring a smile to all our faces. And a grimace to theirs.

[@dimmasvaerd]

So you basically made Ultra Extreme Peppermint Schnapps. *Awesome*

[@krafteverything2697]

Or Crème de menthe

[@xredgambit]

or peppermint extract. That stuff does have a high proof.

[@KrazyMitchAdventures]

you mean Rumplemintz, which is 100 proof Peppermint Schnapps

[@VenerableBede2510]

I’d buy a bottle of this stuff.

[@fusionaddict]

Mouthwash. They made mouthwash.

[@fowlrock]

And in this episode, Daniel is dressed as one of the Highlanders that hid from all of society for 1000's of years under the mean streets of Texarkana, only to get his head chopped off by Connor MacLeod in the first 5 minutes of the 3rd movie as he surfaced to get a bacon and egg McGriddle and a 40oz.

There can be only o- ooh, is that a McGriddle?

It’s honestly just fun to pause the video at random times and see all of Brianas hilarious faces… Everytime you pause you get a new potential thumbnail 😂

[@zorkitipafed4626]

I just did that to start reading the comments, and yeah... Here she is with an angry face and a tongue sticking out. XD

[@benkaggie8716]

This episode is brought to you by Mr. Black, so cheers to evil.

[@TomGallagherSuperboyBeyond]

It's pretty funny when she's acting coked up at the beginning, but it's not that far off her usual energy. I was cracking up

[@SciFiGuy72]

This just struck me as a very DnD setup with Dan's hoodie and all of the reactions. Dan is the Whiskey Wizard, Breanna the Barbarian and Rex the Innkeeper NPC.

While watching this at Christmas, I had a thought. My heritage is Lithuanian and the national drink of Lithuania is a krupnik, (called Krupnikas in Lithuania), which is a traditional sweet alcoholic drink similar to a liqueur, based on grain spirit, (usually vodka nowadays), and honey. I've read that it's early origins come from an ancient Mongol drink. Lithuanian people often make their own at home, including at Christmas, and there are many family recipe variations. Traditional versions will use 80-100% grain alcohol as the base. Honey, usually clover honey, is the main ingredient used to add sweetness, as well as up to 50 different herbs. I'd love to see if you guys can not only make it, but maybe create a new spirit by combining the spices and honey and fermenting that base, rather than just making Krupnikas with an existing spirit. Here is one recipe as an example: Krupnikas Lithuanian Honey Liqueur Ingredients 2 teaspoons caraway seed 10 whole cloves 10 whole allspice 4 sticks cinnamon 2 sticks vanilla 2 pieces yellow ginger 2 pieces white ginger 10 cardamom seeds ½ nutmeg 3 strips orange rind 3 strips lemon rind 1 pinch saffron 4 cups water 2 lbs honey 1 quart grain alcohol Procedure Crack cardamom seeds and nutmeg. Boil spices, rind and water in a covered pot until liquid is reduced to about 2 cups. Strain. In a pot large enough to hold the spiced liquid, alcohol and honey, bring honey to a boil. Skim off the foam. Pour spiced liquid into honey and stir. Remove from heat. Place far away from heat to prevent flare-up or explosion of alcohol. Slowly, and very carefully, pour in alcohol. Replace pot on low heat. Heat, being careful not to simmer or boil, for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool in the same covered pot overnight. Following day, pour into bottles and allow to settle (about 2 weeks). The longer it sits, the clearer it becomes and the better it tastes.

[@MatthewSmith-cp3hu]

thank you for posting this!

[@Iamtheiguana]

I love how happy and excited you all looked after tasting the 151 proof, like Christmas morning

[@Ordolph]

Just as a tip to deal with the freezing weather, open the taps just a bit so you have moving water which will help keep pipes and stuff from freezing.

[@disbitchemptyyeet2246]

Did that my pipes burst and there was a foot of ice in my house just finished fixing it

[@nerdy1701]

@@disbitchemptyyeet2246 bull! I've lived in an area that gets -20F regularly my whole life. A small trickle of water always works.

[@jpoggi9081]

In fairness I’d imagine the candy cane infusion literally has sugar in it. So to compare the oils + flavors it might be necessary to add a comparable amount of sugar into the distilled version. But that red flavor though

[@donaldwert7137]

Here's a Christmas joke for Briana: It's 5PM on Christmas Eve and nothing is ready to go at the North Pole. The elves are on strike, the reindeer has diarrhea, and Mrs. Claus is fed up and threatening to leave. In the midst of the chaos, an angel drags in a Christmas tree and bright says "Santa, where do you want me to put this?" And that is why there's an angel at the top of the Christmas tree.

[@wesleythomas7125]

Rough, dude...!

[@magicsasafras3414]

Lmao

[@Scattaminkey]

I feel like Rex and Briana are always hopped up on sugar and caffeine. "Here we see two of the species in their natural habitat. They will keep this pace for hours on end never blinking."

[@tigertiger530]

I see that someone missed all the blow jokes

[@jeffnewell7810]

Definitely a lot of white powder going around that distillery

[@KandRbar]

Endless laughs caused by you three. Cheers and Merry Christmas.

[@tehfiredog]

Something so sweet about seeing a father and daughter doing candy canes together =P

[@FrozoneTime]

You've tried Durian Fruit, Watermelon, and after this, I'd be curious to see what distilling a pineapple 🍍 would look, smell, and taste like whether it's similar to the Candy Canes, or not with that Mint note.

[@ChanceGray16]

Man I’d love to buy a bottle of the 150 peppermint.

[@BigBlobProductions]

I wonder how it would be if you barrel aged it?

[@St0rm301]

I can taste peppermint coming through the video 😂

[@MrNuada13]

Dan's jedi robe outfit maybe the best part of this awesome video

[@davidb.brandon2552]

He looks like Darth Dan

[@cmwehrmann1]

It would be interesting to see where the peppermint flavor (and other terpenoids) came out in the distillation vs ethanol. My guess is there is a cut that has an ideal mixture of both. If you know someone with a GC-MS, that'll give you the answer.

[@Duke00x]

Peppermint is almost impossible to get rid of. Once it is part of something it stays part of it. You should try this with milder mints like winter mint and spearmint. They are not as overpowering as peppermint but still give that refreshing feel and taste.

[@shepnorfleet]

Awesome video guys, thanks

[@austinjames2721]

You've obviously never tried peppermint extract. It's quite the experience 🤣🤣

[@spiff2268]

Great video, y’all! Now with Christmas and New Year’s almost over I guess the next major holiday is Easter. Can’t wait for you guys to distill some Cadbury Eggs!

[@GeekyGaia]

This video is the first video I have watched from your channel and you honestly gave a good laugh, the energy you bring to this entertaining video is amazing 100/10

You guys are going to have the freshest breath though after drinking what is essentially alcoholic mouthwash.

[@gavindillon1486]

I thought mouthwash already had alcohol in it

[@Romanticoutlaw]

@@gavindillon1486 depends on the brand. Source: tried getting tipsy off mouthwash as a dumb teenager, only achieved fresh breath and a stomachache

[@jakeene]

Love these videos, but I’ve been re-watching a lot of the whiskey curious videos where you introduce people to different whiskey categories. I think those are the best and would love to see some new episodes like that.

[@sachinkainth9508]

You guys have the best fun.

[@lead_sommelier]

In Germany we have a peppermint liquor called Pfeffi that every 16 year old brings to parties because it's like 3€ a bottle and you don't really taste the alcohol I have made a lot of bad and good memories with this drink lmao

[@maarten1012TTT]

This was the perfect video to watch after having a joint, laughed all the way through 😂

[@avahartwell3985]

you guys really picked an amazing song for this one, too!

[@jeffbroemmel8003]

Awesome! As fast as it sold out last time I thought I missed it again. I was wrong. 😅

[@thatoneguy454c]

I tried some shine that was made with the wintergreen mints that old people always have in their candy bowls and it was amazing, so I can only imagine out good that would be. We mixed it with mudslide mix and it tasted like an extreme girl scout cookie. I think it was about 130 proof according to the forest/hill person who made it. This was in Southern Indiana like 15 minutes from Kentucky, so if you know the area I'm sure you know exactly what I mean with my description of the guy.

[@MrClaypogue]

You need to try and distill MENTOS!!!! Specifically I feel that the Green apple or Strawberry would be amazing! The sugar content shouldn't be a problem so it would be straight down to flavor! if it works the cocktails I feel you would be able create from it would be INSANE! I would love to see it in a cocktail with 1-2 Mentos dropped in as garnish because of the effect! As they dissolve they let off a ton of color streamers in alcohol so a swirl of the glass I think would be very visually appealing)

[@MrClaypogue]

Also you can buy them in bulk bags so I feel its would also be an easily sourceable ingredient!

[@darkmage2436]

"you make a cocktail with its guts" "Awww thats beautiful" my type of philosphy

[@exodus146]

you guys are infectious! I love it

[@joshnuttall9185]

Add it to a sweet, coffee/chocolate-based cocktail of some kind! That could be awesome!

[@richman3424]

i dont even drink but i find myself binge watching yalls channel after finding it yesterday haha yall are to damn funny

[@billybjoe2011]

Peppermint is an oil so I wonder if that was the film, also with oils and fats I wonder if a vacuum distillation would help with cutting the oil.

[@GlyphZero]

older aircraft survival kits came with bricks of shelf stable foodstuffs(5 year shelf/2 service); one of the blocks was wintergreen.

[@davidstewart5811]

One thing about it, if you test enough of these they will all start to taste good! Great video

Every episode of the whiskey tribe should be a distillery equipment producer's PSA on how to void warranties.

brianna is such a treat. i can see her after a few drinks being sooo toxic lol

[@matthewdaub]

She's the one that's fun to hang out with but once the alcohol comes out you bounce before she gets drunk.

she's definitely whipping the slurs out after a few shots

Many years ago I put a handful of mary jane in a bottle of 190 proof everclear and let it sit on a shelf for a month. Strained it out afterwards and it made some fantastic cocktails!!

I have no idea how this video got into my recommended page but I am not even one minute in and I’m already laughing hysterically I think I’m gonna have a good time here

Extreamly suprised to see The PHOENIX back in stock.

[@cjohnsonwow]

I'm not saying you should steel this but when I was in the Army in Germany, we found a super thin mint liquor that was like what you have EXTREMELY potent in taste, the way we managed to drink it all was we bought Creme De Cocoa mixer and we would put half a shot on top of the creme de cocoa, it tasted EXACTLY like a Yorkshire peppermint patty. Drank as a "bomb."

[@Leone4130]

Some friends and I did this at my house 3 years ago, still some of the most memorable spirits we've made. We laughed for like 10 minutes straight after taking the first sip and realizing the mint flavours were still present (and strong as hell)

[@Melechtna]

You guys have WAY to much fun

[@JAF30]

Need a supercut of everyone's faces as they try these experiments.

[@slickstrings]

just on that mr black ad. I happen to live right near where that is made in australia. i dont like coffee and i LOVE it. Its seriously good. So if youre not into coffee who cares, its just damn good.

[@MrBunnyInc]

Perfect for a christmasy screwdriver!

[@just_jouni]

You should try a drink called "Marianne". It's usually made with Peppermint vodka, but could work with your candy cane version. The recipe is: in a glass. ice, pour in 20ml candycane alcohol, 20ml chocolate liquor, top with milk. It's popular a christmassy drink or when you go skiing. Also works anywhere anytime you want an easy dessert drink.

[@charbelghossein5988]

You guys should try fermenting grape molasses now idk if it will have any sort of result but its an idea that I've always wanted to try
