@@toddbelanger1923 That is the dirty secret of "experts". Anyone can be one, you just have to put in the time to learn. So glad bourbon is enriching your life and helping you to connect with others. Cheers!

Butt tattoos 🤣🤣🤣 Never saw that coming. Your just an awesome dude! I find myself rewatching videos when I'm having an off day because your just genuinely a nice person and can always put a smile on someone's face. Salud🥃🙏

[@BourbonRealTalk]

I really appreciate that! The are a lot of local whiskey enthusiasts who knew me before my channel that hate me now. When asked why they just say "I just don't like him". It is nice to have this type of encouragement.

I continue to love your content and your views. Thanks Randy. Side note that means nothing. My fathers name was Randy

[@BourbonRealTalk]

He sounds amazing! Cheers!

[@ignusgraius]

Fascinating process! Love the channel and your message, Randy.

[@BourbonRealTalk]

Glad you enjoy it! Thank you for watching!

[@robertshay9235]

Really fun episode. I have 3 barrels at home. This definitely gave me some helpful tips for the upcoming projects!!

[@BourbonRealTalk]

Glad to have helped inspire your project. Cheers!

[@Farcry-yh4mu]

Doors will try to expand back to flat, Highly recommend reinforcing back side of door. even a screw in every stave won't stop it. Great tutorial

[@BourbonRealTalk]

Great advice!

[@jamesvredenburg3559]

Great show Wish would have seen before I got and stained my barrel Guess I will have to buy another one

[@BourbonRealTalk]

No need for a new barrel. You are half way there. Just pick up after staining and do the rest of the steps.

[@arnoldmariani6136]

I use a spray can of sealer on the interior of my barrel

[@BourbonRealTalk]

Sounds like good advice.

[@keithbailey540]

Awesome episode. I love your heart for people. No matter who we are or where we are in life. Keep it up, thanks for brining in the couple and there message. Great work on the barrel! It looks awesome!

[@BourbonRealTalk]

So glad you enjoyed it!

[@adamseaman7306]

Awesome video Randy! I’ll be doing this for the garage! Thanks. Cheers!

[@BourbonRealTalk]

Nice! PM me a pick!

[@EscobarStyle]

FINALLY!! Someone who LOVES whiskey will teach us how to cut a barrel and make it into a beautiful piece of art. BTW, which sample small bottles would you recommend to fit your awesome sample box? Thanks 🙏🏼

[@BourbonRealTalk]

1 ounce Boston rounds with a polycone cap are best. The 1/2 oz fit too.

[@EscobarStyle]

@@BourbonRealTalk awesome! Thank you. Just bought the box and your wee glass 😊

[@BourbonRealTalk]

@@EscobarStyle Thank you for the support

[@rockrousseau8206]

What size tapping screws is recommended for securing the staves?

[@BourbonRealTalk]

3/4". The stave plus hoop is almost exactly 1", so if you did one inch or more you might penetrate inside the barrel.

[@Beerdedbeerman]

Just curious. Is that a Bowman Brothers small batch bourbon bottle over your left shoulder?

[@BourbonRealTalk]

Yes it is

[@Beerdedbeerman]

@@BourbonRealTalk its a go to for us. Made right here in Virginia. Cheers 🥃

[@400person]

Man I kick myself at least once a week that I didn’t get a bottle of that SSW cab finish redwood empire when I had the chance.

[@BourbonRealTalk]

I kick myself when I think about only buying one. Times were different back then. If it came out today I would buy 6 :-)

[@johnlorefice8762]

Is this about making a wine barrel bar or some other agenda?

[@BourbonRealTalk]

I don't write summaries of videos for people who read titles but won't watch the video. I would recommend you read video descriptions and decide if the video is worth your time.

[@serows1]

Your ashamed that 97% of your subscribers are male? Count me out

[@BourbonRealTalk]

If you have watched much of my content you would know my podcast is about connecting people. ALL PEOPLE. What I tried to say in the piece is statistics show that at least 20% of whiskey is drank by women, so it stands to reason that at least 20% of whiskey content consumers would be women. Since I am trying to educate the public that whiskey is for everyone and not just old white men I am ashamed that I have not attracted more female viewers. Not sure what about that inclusive sentiment would cause you to tell me to count you out, but If you disagree that women and other minorities should feel comfortable in the whiskey space then I will count you out...because you would not be welcome on my channel.

[@papadunbar]

@@BourbonRealTalk What I'm hearing you say in this response is: "I'm ashamed I haven't been able to reach a broader/more diverse audience that is better representative of the whiskey community as a whole." The way it came out made it sound like it was a bad thing to be in that 97% demographic of your audience. Am I understanding your sentiment correctly?

[@BourbonRealTalk]

@@papadunbar Correct

[@papadunbar]

@@BourbonRealTalk Thanks. I recently discovered your channel and really enjoy your content as well as your purpose regarding your brother. I lost my brother to suicide 22 years ago and love what you’re doing. I also got connected with Oklahoma Bourbon Connoisseurs eventually as a result of your Duane Poor video. Anyway keep being awesome and making great content.
