[@BourbonJunkies]

This video won't get anywhere near the views it deserves because it's not a list but this content is so damn needed in the whiskey universe on KZbin. Seeing the passion, work, and people behind these things is so incredibly cool and important and there are very few people who can put out this type of content so cheers to you for doing it and doing it damn well!

[@IrLosin]

I love this stuff. Interesting to what craft goes into making your favourite drink. I still remember this chemistry class I had way back in high school that sparked my interest for distillation. Our teacher brought in this bottle of cheap fortified wine and he told us: today we are going to take the alcohol out of this, and he distilled it to as pure as he could get with the small lab sized still.

[@Annatar_Lord_of_Gifts]

100% - Such a great video, I need more of this!

[@kyearout4129]

I once had someone get angry with me because I told them bourbon can be made anywhere in the United States, not just Kentucky.

[@TheTroystreet]

I love these types of videos y’all do about the process of making whiskey even if you’ve done multiple in the past I still love seeing the process and how there’s a little changes here and there from other distillers that y’all have shown on your channel that makes their whiskey distinct to them.

[@BenSmith-qq7re]

Great episode. How dare you hit me in feels there at the end. Wasn’t ready for that.

[@removelimitbreak7524]

A little corner of the universe where things are okay.

[@Scott-.]

I haven't had a sip of alcohol in 8 years. I'm here for the goofs, the good vibes, the laughs and a peek at the process!

[@tomdiprose4354]

Good on you, keep up the good work!

[@kinggodzilla_9523]

You guys have made something special with Crowded Barrel. Glad I found you guys and as a fellow Texan it brings a smile to my face seeing a local business like this thrive. Keep up the awesome work 🤙

[@miguel1996loyola]

wait this is looking too serious ....... 00:55 nevermind, this is the same rex...... >_< ahahaahaaha

[@BrianDavids]

Love the video and thank you for the heart felt thoughts at the end.

[@MrEnigma1610]

Absolutely fuckin love this episode. Maybe my favorite all time. The end hit the feels and exactly why I love this place.

[@mczawlytko1404]

These kind of videos are amazing. I love the education mixed with antics. But that closing monologue says everything that needs to be said about this community.

[@miksologia]

This kind of "behind the scenes" is the best kind of content!

[@bfischerr]

I loved this episode. It was great to see the process and some of the people behind it that we don't normally see. I really enjoyed Rex's monologue at the end as well. Keep doing what you;'re doing and I hope to sample your wares one of these days. Cheers.

[@JT-fl6kr]

Really enjoy these type of videos. The inside look of what goes on specifically with The Crowded Barrel is great. I particularly get a kick out of Rex's fascination with baby doll hands.....Hah!

[@jessekramer282]

This video format is great, please consider making more of these :)

[@LunnchBoxx45]

It is my mission in life to make it out to Austin to see Crowded Barrel. You all have a passion that is absolutely breathtaking in my opinion. I love your videos, and it is obvious that the amount of work you put into the production quality of the content you share with us compliments the hard work you put into every avenue of your business. THAT is why we support you. Keep up the great work, everyone!

[@colzer28]

Please keep making this type of product, both the film work and the spirit itself, it’s on my bucket list to be in the crowded barrel, to see it happening at this scale is awesome. Liquid gold. Thank you 🍻

[@HPoppington]

One of the few things that might inspire me to travel to the US again would be to visit Crowded Barrel. "A little corner of the universe where things are ok." That's beautiful.

[@seanwalsh9605]

Awesome video on the behind the scenes of R&D! Immediately one of my favorite vids from Whiskey Tribe. ...and the Tik Tok cocktails.

[@ThePenn7]

Amen!

[@cherylr6646]

I really enjoyed this one as well. Since I am from Nova Scotia , I am probably one of the people who really won’t get a chance visit or sample your whisky. That being said, I really get a kick out of both the tribe and vault channels and appreciate the work everyone puts in. You’ve created something culturally special here. Well done!

[@davidhunter5184]

Best episode yet, Rex you made an informative technical and educative video…..WHAT!!!! All jokes aside great Channel crew, team, tribe, you guys are killing it.

[@KaliCush]

God Bless Y'all. Thanks for the laughs these videos bring us.

[@christopherhuynh5090]

to be honest, a video like this needs to be put up every now and then. just to break away from like a list video or a shenanigans video (even though this had a little bit of shenanigans in it) it's nice to see the projects and the process of the distillery and seeing what you guys are doing and seeing people we normally don't see. I really enjoy these videos because it brings the channel/ tribe back down to earth because anytime i watch you guys when friends/ people in the vicinity, it's usually the shenanigan videos where you do weird quirky, but also educational, experiments.and most of the people around me think i watch you guys just for whiskey recommendations or the shenanigans. and while it is both, i do enjoy videos like these to remind me why i enjoy whiskey with some good company. You hit it on the head with that statement "It is the experiences we have together around that bottle. Like minded people in good spirits" and it's helped me shaped the way i create experiences with not just people around me, but that random person at the bar now. This community has helped me shaped drinking alcohol in way that's more positive than negative. Cheers to you and the Tribe.

[@andrewirwin2993]

I absolutely loved this episode!

[@kareliask]

I loved seeing it passed through that single sieve - the whisky industry filters so aggressively, you can see how much colour (flavour compounds) are lost when you look at how stained the stacks of paper filters they use are. A very educational video, cheers!

[@Erik_T_Thompson]

This is what making Whiskey is all about. What microbrewed beer is to beer, this boutique whiskey is to Bourbon. Never stop guys. Let's drink boutique spirits.

[@dapperd9300]

Rex's ending really tied together the meaning of the whole episode, heartfelt.

[@Ebbyman413]

I was having trouble focusing on what was being said, because I was laughing at the tiny hands - always hilarious!

[@mandavaler]

I just straight up love these people and the community theyve made

[@Prepared_Suburbanite]

One of your best videos to date! I love learning about how whiskey is made and this is one of the best. Thank you and keep this kind of video coming. You rock!

[@SterlingArcher21]

Damn, that commentary at the end gave me chills. Nice 👍!!

[@wcraig]

Really nice video. Very, very interesting to see the processes you went through to get your whiskey. Thank you very much for sharing.

[@kurtwinchell]

I'm a cocktail person, and not even a whiskey person, but I have fallen in love with this channel. I love this type of content, as much as the tasting, and the shenanigans. Rex and Briana constantly crack me up, and Daniel makes me smile with his excitement and knowledge about whiskey. I watched Deb's farewell episode recently, and it made me want a big hug from Rex... I may have to leave the house, and go visit Texas for the first time.

[@mundaneMindanao]

I think we all love these videos where we get to see the behind the scenes and some of the process!!

[@AdamPFarnsworth]

One of your best episodes! Love these process videos!

[@zandert33]

I enjoy the "people drinking 5 types of whiskey" videos, but videos like this are the reason why I'm subscribed.

[@elberttanner6189]

More peeks at the process would be great.

[@vincentouwehand828]

Damn dude, that finishing made me all misty eyed, would love to visit the home of this community, maybe in the coming years

[@stevekuhns793]

Really enjoy this type of content! Love the behind the scenes. Also I have to say that I love your mindset of community. Thank you for creating a place where great experiences can be had among people of all walks! Keep up the great work! Hope to be able to visit some day.

[@simbry49]

A solid video. The path through a distillery isn't usually shown so personally. Well done.

[@ericyucha3338]

Love the video! Well done on the production and the distillery. Need to pour an Eleanor when I get home.

[@joshuasasmor6565]

Yes yes yes! More of this. And I keep hoping we all have a corner of the world where things are ok!

[@tonsofbees537]

Love these type of videos!

[@Michelle-1]

The end of this video made me cry a little bit. You guys are AMAZING. Wish I could meet ya. Love from Cali.

[@lazarus9004]

Such a fun episode. Then you had to go and sucker punch me right in the feels. Now I need to go find out who's chopping onions. 🤣

[@NotQuiteEpic]

That video was just so nice. I don't care that it's 9:00am. I'm going to pour a neat glass of whiskey right now. Happy Father's day. I love you, Dad. Rest in power.

[@camillethetacoturd7210]

Love the process. I used to be a bottling manager for wine and the process is always the most intriguing part.

[@travisperry6585]

Your outro message should not have made me tear up like this. Love you guys and everything that I have learned about whiskey from you. I'm still a little new to it so you guys have really helped me along in my whiskey journey.

[@joshuasubrahmanyam3779]

Rarely comment and rarely hit the like on almost anything on KZbin. This is an exception. This video was so unbelievably well done. It had the prefect balance of funny and info and feel good at the end. More of this please!

[@joartdz230]

Moreeee!!! Love the small hands!!

[@hartweld65]

Great video. Thanks for sharing the process with us.. i am so proud to be amongst these Magnificent Bastards.

[@Davidfertik]

This is exactly the kind of content I want to see more of on the Whiskey Tribe. A love letter to the process of distillation and the creation of the product we all admire.

[@Ochosi]

Been a bastard for over a year now and love the content and watching y'all do your thing.

[@banphit]

I love a story like this so much, following your channel from Thailand. Hope to see you someday.

[@paladonis]

It's always talked about by everyone how it's the story that gets you excited about something. What better story then the Whiskey Tribe my friends? From "Hey ya wanna..." to "Holy S&*T I have no time!". But you guys never forget the Family that is the Whiskey Tribe. I think this episode is wonderful reminder of friends, family, and Bastards. Even if many of us have never met, we share a passion., Whiskey. To that, I say "How do you drink Whiskey!?"

[@Moonferal]

Aaw "This isn't really about bottles of whiskey. It's the experiences we have together around that bottle." That's the most touching words come out of Rexs mouth. Made me a little teary maybe. Or maybe I'm just a little tipsy. Cheers to you!

[@keithhouston5229]

Yes…. These episodic videos are truly what micro distilleries are… Wonderful representation. Sincerely appreciate the fun and humor with the “science” 😎 Please continue to “be Y’all!” and represent 👍

[@johnburrill2625]

this whole channel and distilery are a great community of welcoming and funny people that just try to share wha they love, keep it up guys

[@kyleierley4450]

Love this video, gents. It’s amazing to see you guys progress over the years and instill passion for quality whiskey!

[@rwe52496]

Don't stop making videos like this at all. I love the behind the scenes of your process.

[@justragequit7078]

I love these kind of videos where you show us the in depth process of how the whiskey is made. Would definitely love more of them.

[@anarchytide]

These are some of the BEST kind of episodes! More would be great, but I'll still watch even if yous don't lol. Cheers MBs, and don't ever change!!

[@tonyk421]

Are little corner of the Universe, were things are okay. That choked me up.

[@hondatuner5156]

Well here I am, took a 12 pack and 10 hours since I started picking Daniel, now I have 5 gallons of compacted processed flowers. Let's get to brewing!

[@Joenzetie]

I love these. I've been working on trying to learn distilling and open my own tasting room, and this kind of stuff makes me so excited.

[@olivier.st-amand]

MORE LIKE THIS! I really love this type of content! Packed with good hands-on information, the humour is on point without distracting us from the content! Wow! Great work!

[@youaresomeone3413]

Ya man distilling isn't just wam bam thank you mam even though alot of people think it is but theirs actually alot to the "right" process. Great video. And hilarious with those hands 😆

[@alexgeorge2993]

Best KZbin channel, if I am ever back in the States I will come and visit!!!

[@younktsome2]

definitely an annual trip whenever i come to visit family down there.

[@adamhunter1979]

This was fun! I always love see how some of my favorite things are made! Keep doing the great work!

[@TheMastersweet]

I love this type of content, particularly delivered how most video are friendly and funny. Learning more about the process behind all the great whiskey is part of the fun in whiskey. One day I’ll find my way down there for a visit for sure!

[@briancardinali]

Love this kind of video. I always love the good humor while at the same time learning something. Cheers!

[@wind-inmy-face7949]

A fantastic video. I would love to see more educational type things from you all! Keep up the great work!

[@ethancollins3429]

Loved this type of video!!! Its really cool seeing the behind the scenes

[@fugadores1]

I absolutely love this videos, the narrative and editing are so good. I love this community

[@Timothy_Smith]

This is an awesome video. I love that you have put this together and I love watching the process. Keep it up!

[@pauld4010]

Dude!!!! Keep it coming. This was one of my favorite episodes ever! I love the behind the scenes/ learning/ real/ personal feel and your speech at the end just felt so genuine and heartfelt. Like I said keep it coming dude I loved it.

[@8SideWinder8]

Guys…this is one of your best videos yet! Yes, it’s a change of pace but in a WONDERFUL way. Part of the appeal of your channel(s) is expanding actual knowledge about the spirits industry. Because of the BS laws around distilling here in this wonderful country we call home, most of us never get to see the details and tradecraft that go into building a whiskey. This is awesome and I think you guys should do more of it. If it lags in clicks, then maybe save the deep dives for us Patreons…THIS IS AWESOME CONTENT.

[@hailspqr5979]

It’s great to see some behind the scenes stuff! Hopefully sometime in the future I can make it out your guys way and try some my self. Keep it up 👍

[@nightflyer94]

That was great! Loved the different vibes from this episode.

[@MellowYellowMan]

A heartfelt and wonderful change of pace my friends!

[@danieltully1932]

These are the Tribe videos that got me hooked and keep me coming back. Even inspired me to start making my own whiskey! Love this content! Well done to everyone involved. Keep them coming!

[@mtoshea1]

One of the best videos I've seen in a while. It's great to see to what goes into the whiskey before it hits our glasses. Bravo!

[@seanleal2292]

I like the return to more organized calmer whiskey education videos and the emotional touch towards the end from rex.

[@emtbtakeover6266]

Love it! Please make more content like this. It's the heart and soul that moves you forward.

[@michaeltippit8589]

This is my favorite kind of video! I could watch beginning to end on every barrel and be just as excited for the next!

[@jbenben2]

Lovely, all of it, just lovely. Please keep doing what you're doing, it is greatly appreciated.

[@KrazyMitchAdventures]

I might never make to the Crowded Barrel. But a healthy Cheers to my Whiskey Brethren from the great Wet Pacific Northwest.. Vancouver Island, BC Canada.

[@hyseptu1733]

Absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this content!!! Great job you MB’s!!!

[@christopherernst5328]

I absolutely loved this video. Now, don't get me wrong - I love me some shenanigans. But this was thoughtful, informative, interesting, and practically downright inspirational. Please do more like this...with a healthy dose of shenanigans every now and again for good measure. 🥃

[@nickgerula]

Absolutely loved this one! Really cool to see the whole process.

[@pitdoctor]

Absolutely fantastic video. Great change of pace from most of the Tribe videos, but in a great way.

[@gonzo3201]

Loved this episode! Had to at least comment that! Soooo want to visit!

[@fr2ncm9]

I loved the behind the scene look at how a whiskey is made from start to finish.

[@sunnyc.7720]

Thank you Rick for helping me get a good laugh out of today. Today is my birthday and I don't even have a darn dram of whiskey, but at least they had a good laugh! Cheers and have a great day!

[@RedSoxFanatic4Life]

I really enjoy these status update videos. I hope you’ll continue making them as the distillery continues to grow and to experiment with different whisk(e)y styles. Great video, as always.

[@zackzenron]

I absolutely love all the videos about the process. I'd really enjoy seeing a video of you all actually blending a batch for bottling.

[@fishesdeep]

Thanks for sharing the inside scoop on the process. Few if any distillers of any size do it. I would be very interested in the cut process so further details on that would be great. How and why you cut when you do. Keep up the good work!

[@allisontrainer9950]

Absolutely enjoyed watching the process. Thank for sharing.

[@TheKoalabear98]

This was so informative. I think I learned more watching this than I did on any distillery tour I’ve been on.
