What you're missing on the name is how specific to Detroit culture it is. This distillery is just a few blocks of M1, Woodward Ave, the first paved road in America. Every summer in August there is a weekend-long Dream Cruise where thousands of classic cars cruise the streets. Perhaps the name doesn't have wide appeal, but it's meant to honor this specific location and its Motor City culture. From a marketing standpoint its a great name for the region.

[@spiritscountrywineandbbq4509]

That's amazing. Thanks for sharing

[@W1ldt1m]

I'm from se mich and I got it immediately that's why I clicked.

[@scottbartlett2087]

Detroit is known as Motor City due to all the automotive manufactures that used to be there before the collapse of the area, not the Dream Cruise, the Dream Cruise was created as homage to Detroit being the home of all the auto manufactures.

[@MrJhchrist]

It's the "gas" part that doesn't do quality whiskey justice, not the motor city part. Motor City Surprisingly Good Spirits is a bit more of a mouthful though.

[@leagobaloyi]

The name "Motor City Gas" is the main reason why I clicked on the episode notification so fast. A great way to stand out on the whiskey aisle.

[@ladylilithparker]

A 20-minute episode! Châd has truly blessed us today!

[@abode1788]

I live a 2 minute walk from Motor city gas. The place makes some great drops! You need to try the Bumper Bender Bourbon (heirloom purple corn bourbon). It’s award winning!

[@monkeysflingpooatyou]

can you help match the whiskey names to the descriptions they're using?

[@rossfudd256]

Good Morning Gentlemen.

[@Aren207]

As a Royal Oak native, I’m very proud of them. Buying a bottle of the Rye tomorrow.

[@bcuz29]

I live about 15 miles from Royal Oak and had no idea that Motorcity Gas existed. I'm excited to pay them a visit.

[@c_dubya_s]

It's a great spot, definitely check it out when you can!

[@toddtyler7660]

I live fairly close to Royal Oak, now I'm going to have to go there and give these a try. Hopefully bring back some souvenirs!

[@AnythingGeeky]

Wow, the smiles on your faces while you're trying these sells me on this distillery hands down. This was a great episode!

[@Daniel-zq3wq]

Rex pulling out the extended cut for this one

[@TheWhiskeyNerd]

Daniel's OOOOOOOH at 3:00 has me interested. I'm always wary of "Irish" or "Irish style" whiskeys I can't get in Ireland, but this one might be worth a hunt...

[@abode1788]

You guys should come to Michigan to do some tastings at some of the distilleries here!

[@evanlitchfield4621]

It was a longer video but you guys kept me engaged the entire time. Thanks!

[@mikecofojohn168]

Loved the intro. Congrats an becoming a Titan! Michigan has been making really great whiskey for a while. I have two of these unopened. Might have to pop the rye. Lastly, what is Marris Otter?

[@marksaliba4194]

Maris Otter is a specific variety of two-row barley.

[@ianfougerousse2899]

Maris Otter is a specific variety of barley. Massively common is beer brewing, and I am assuming whiskey as well.

[@marcwhiskey]

Haven't seen this much excitement for a new whiskey in a while

[@Canadian_Chris]

You guys made my day. Royal Oak Michigan is only a half hour drive after clearing the border.

[@PMTcommenter]

Oh so you’re from down south

[@Herbyonwheelsshubhayu14]

Full intro finally 🔥

[@Backroad_Junkie]

Well, you know they paid for it, they have to get their money's worth, lol...

[@thomvinson]

More humorously entertaining than usual, loved this episode. Gotta try to find some here in Brownsville.

[@nekoghostgunner1129]

Well, I'm going to have to see if I can find a bottle of the rye malt. Those tasting notes have me extremely interested...

[@zartan0869]

I love the Arrogant Bastard reference that's one of my favorite beers

[@SquallKill]

I like that they don't have a flashy label. Helps with that whole "not all bland looking bottles are horrible" stigma

[@user-dm1tv6nl2e]

That video makes me want to see classic Thor lose his hammer during some massive fight where it is flung into space, only for him to later, in his hour of greatest need, summon the hammer to return from afar, reentering the atmosphere in a blaze and slamming fully afire into his hand, entwining both lighting and inferno. Badass.

[@MrJbruenni]

Great episode guys!

[@brendanxtrom]

Love the motor city gas guys! Good stuff

[@MessengerOnline]

Great job on the audio edits, Rex.

[@pp-pl2qo]

I really enjoy your videos

[@WhiskyLoversSociety]

Like the label. Would love to give it a try in the future. Cheers.

[@miker20]

Love the intro 😂 you guys rock !!!

[@robviousobviously5757]

GOOD AFTERNOON YOU MB'S... 🥃 sorry I am late... been a while since we had a full titan... nice

[@Qub3rs]

YAY! Titan animation!

[@ericamiles2641]

I gotta find some of that now!

[@christopherharris2686]

Motor City Gas has a youtube channel for the distillery as well. Just found it and have been watching a few.

[@IDLExHANDS]

I found radish helps cleanse your pallet the best.

[@erikevenson4303]

REX I sence a trip to Michigan in your future.

[@miker20]

This one made me wonder, maybe you guys already covered this, but what IS both of your favorite whiskey notes you like to find that you would like turned way up. Or is there one out already that has your favorite notes that is turned way way up… I’m guessing the Peat in the Octomore series (my fav flavor is that Smokey smokey stuff)

[@johnhunt1725]

Rex: "What's your favorite flavor?" Daniel: "Shit..." 🤣

[@Wilvekio69]

Behold the New Titans :)

[@FrankQCMTL]

If one drop of water changes the taste a lot, does the same kind of change happens when they proof down a batch vs cask strength?

[@5150quintis]

Had me at RYE!!!

[@NothingMaster]

Sesame Street - learning to count to four!

[@-RONNIE]

I don't think this is for me but thanks for the video 🥃

[@Vrabcakkadli]

From now on, you should use that "Aaaah" from 2:30 to replace every single cork pop when opening bottle.

[@FatWhiskyDrinkingGuy]

Honey, i'm gonna fill up on gas..... Brilliant! 😎

[@SanskarWagley]

Woah a 20 minute episode

[@ryand7764]

Rex: What's your favorite flavor in the world? Daniel: Sh*t

[@stevenperkinson4062]

Anybody know the name on the side chocolate roasted malt bottle?

[@joethesampleguy3414]

Nice.

[@Joshuadrawswithink]

Unbelievable these aren't available to order through our OWN liquor commission here in Michigan. I'll have to visit the distillery so I can try them out.

[@W1ldt1m]

Man we need to break that down and open this state up.

[@Backroad_Junkie]

Have you guys checked out that new video by Tasting History? Search for: "Whisky - Scotland's Water of Life". Interesting story, like how forcing the whisky industry to age their spirits in barrels for years was meant to force them out of business, and instead made a better product...

[@minekid25398]

Deer camp? Northern latitudes?

[@justinparnell2379]

Motor city whiskey collection can l get that whiskey in Saskatchewan Canada liquor stores?? I want try some whiskey!

[@NPC514]

12:18: "This one smells yunk."

[@albertmiller3082]

Hmmm… this local distillery is about ten minutes away from here. Note to Self: Make time for a friendly visit.

[@joe-e-geo]

Like double stuff Oreos. I've been know to double up on my double stuff Oreos.

[@nickv5424]

Daniel is low key messing with us at this point cause he definitely said "yunk" instead of young

[@butchpedit4871]

If you got to Motor City gas to buy a bottle you will be overwhelmed by the smell of whiskey coming from the back room, I exteded my time browsing the choices so I could drink in the whiskey heavy fog.

[@jarheadcharlie2315]

Damn... pulling an ABA reference.

[@brandonscott2851]

free range in the whiskey vault if you can't choose a whiskey go to the scotch section close your eyes and just pick one

[@psychnerd24]

Night we were going to do the video the power went out in a storm

[@johntrudeau8706]

You guys need to ask Mitch for another bottle. I miss the "Thanks, Mitch" clip.

[@WhiskeyVault]

We love Mitch as well :-)

[@decade19761]

Can you guys do the new KNOBEL WHISKEY BY DIRTY JOBS GUY

[@jpoggi9081]

4 very nices / 5

[@jeth3540]

Did... Daniel say "Snickernoodle"???

[@badmunkyedc1]

Rex month?

[@astang1072]

Dan picked the WEONG word after being asked “whats your favorite flavor in the world?”

[@ianmahaney5140]

0:05 ...Hawt

[@6buscuit]

13:23 will never not be funny. That’s the nuttiness. THE NUTTINESS Would be great to be put on a shirt or sticker.

[@introx4040]

Someone send them Iron Fish Two Peninsulas Whiskey

[@seandutremble4175]

Pretty sure Daniel just said he makes garlic bread with garlic powder. Also pretty sure this should be the next new question on “Are You Garbage”…

[@oscarmakavelli]

If Rex enjoys the Nuttiness from the Motor Gas City ‘Chocolate Roasted Malt’ offering.. He’ll LOVE ‘Rabbit Hole - Raceking Founder’s Collection 5-Grain’ and ‘Glenmorangie Signet’. Both are the Best Hidden Gem-After Dinner Dessert Drams!

[@Steph_ADOCpara]

❤️❤️🥃❤️🥃✌️

[@MrDanishninja]

Bring back the whap sound when Daniel hits the top of the bottle or we riot

[@YoJimBo851610]

2👍

[@crusefitzgerald]

When your girl gives you that sloppy toppy 13:32

[@darkeid7883]

The line between promoting and reviewing has been drawn , ladies and gents

[@Backroad_Junkie]

Are they using water from Flint? Makes it extra tasty...

[@B.von.Bentzen]

Wtf

[@thedoc8876]

Gonna pass on the gas, I don't personally believe they liked this one, been watching these guys for a long time and you know when they really love a whisk(e)y.

[@davidjollis1502]

So in your opinion did they sell out or just decided to start lying to us?

[@YoJimBo851610]

Christopher Columbus 1st

[@jstewardjr]

Garlic or Salt, never garlic salt!!! You'll never get enough garlic until you make it too salty. Garlic Salt should be outlawed.
