[@BartendingPro]

Make sure to check out the full series here kzbin.info/aero/PLC6lnUHH0ort6dSDtOi6fl_Nkwa-4Qpwx that dives deeper into each of these alcohol types individually.

[@DaycaterBrah]

Goodwork sir! Thankyou.

[@DHart816]

Your channel is a lifesaver for a rookie bartender thanks

[@TacticalSavages]

can you make a video explaining the difference in Mezcal and Tequila?

[@nickelusfierro4590]

Edgar Solorio mezcal is made in any region with any type of agave succulent plant. True tequila is required to be made from 100% Blue agave.

[@luckystarz4444]

this video is pure gold. 200 proof. I learned so much about alcohol in this short 20 minutes, THANK YOU SO MUCH Jason!

[@wolfhunter98]

"Poisonous yeast sweat". Love it, best way of putting things.

[@bjk50396]

You should do another video like this but all about beer, wine and champagne and the different characteristics of each of those

[@BartendingPro]

It's in the works!!

[@scottyhovey6468]

+BartendingPro I agree :D

[@jodave728]

by far the best bartender stuff on yt..

[@mudaribhupesh]

Pure Gold. One of the best videos on alcohols. Very nice explanation. Hats off.

[@off2kurebeach]

..'it really tastes like shit so we have to flavor this'....LMAO

[@daryljoplin6621]

Thank you so much for this video!! Im only 19 years old and beginning my studies as a professional mixologist, this is going to help my basic bartending SO much! I have a notebook Ive been writing everything down in and now thanks to your bartending videos I'll be that much closer to an expert! Thank you soooo much! :)

[@lastyllobille]

I just turned 21. I'm not going to be a bartender but this helped me figure out what to order when I go to bars and stuff, because I'm used to just drinking whatever crap they have at frat parties. But now I can finally pick a drink!

[@Phantom-kc9ly]

I turn 21 in 1.5 hours lol. Just the perfect channel for me right now

[@james4727]

i swear america is the only place that only lets you buy drinks at 21, 3 years behind xD

[@1097jad]

yet we can smoke and vote at 18! and buy guns but we can't drink?

[@kevinfager.]

Whiskey Sour (fresh juice), Manhattan, Old Fashioned (angostura and orange bitters, and no fucking muddling or soda water) Enjoy

[@xXlSkULFaC3lXx]

If it's percentage it's all in proportion. A bottle of 151 is 75.5% alcohol whether it's full, half full, or has a few drops left

[@ianheyman2682]

til it separates lol

[@salskrake1]

This is 3 years late but hey! It is most likely less when there is less in it, because of evaporation inside the bottle being released when opened.

[@Desertvibes234]

I like that this channel is focused on information and technique and not so much for the flair like I saw another commenter point out. Definitely will be watching

[@dorothyinwonderland3812]

i just started my first bartending job. i have never done this before i dont know how to make drinks or anything...but im lucky to have an awesome bar owner that wants to work with me. this is a Rehabilitation thing for me to work on my social anxiety I'm very thankful and lucky to have found someone like her that will work with me with no experience. its so hard for me so thank you for your grate videos that help me out alot!

[@amberonskja]

Thank you so much. I'm going to have an EPIC cocktail party for my 50th...my hubby and I had one before about 7 years ago when we first got married. This video is reminding me about what I need to know. I am not making crazy cocktails for the party but with I have learned to know what I am buying and why. Knowledge is power. :) Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. It's not much but I see a sticker in my future!

[@theflorezfamily]

your personality makes this. funny and a corky kind of charming. awesome video! information so helpful for work, and the way you lay it out is noob-friendly ;) thanks

[@z15422]

I just want to say thank you for all these videos, they've really helped me develop my skills more than anything else I've tried. This video alone has made me feel like an expert when I talk to my friends.

[@jalvarez121990]

Finally decided to step out of my comfort zone and just got two jobs serving at restaurants with full bars.. And omg! This video is awesome!

[@MasterGula]

As a bartender, I found this video and your explanation ND teaching skills superb to other videos on KZbin. Keep up the good work!

[@Princess1n3x]

watching this was addicting, more facts and information than my mind was ready for, awesome.

[@jayjohn9893]

Hi Jason, is it? Wanted to express my thanks. I've started a new bar job recently without knowing anything about bar-tending. I've watched this video a couple times over, tried to absorb the info and it seems to have helped significantly! I know what to reach for when a customer asks for brandy, or whatever else. So once again, thank you for posting this video, it's been a great help.

[@ThatsSoGiorgio]

Just started training as a bartender today and this video definitely helped on my alcohol history :) I know most the brand names, but now I have some backstory. It doesn't hurt to learn about what you're drinking and serving.

[@IKILLEDYOU5000]

I want to learn my alcohol but I don't specifically know where to look ??

[@keldonlemon]

I was looking behind him at the selection and didnt see Grey Goose. Right as i was thinking that, at 2:58, it appeared magically on the top left shelf! ha

[@annastasiaallard3526]

Bravo Jason! This was an excellent orientation to alcohols. I'm less nervous knowing the basic science behind the bottle. Thank you so much!!

[@tiffanyclabrie]

Thank you, that was very comprehensive!! Excellent video!!

[@bretmaverick9117]

Single barrel means it came out of a single barrel and wasn't blended. Not that it was th first use like you said. Single barrel is more exclusive than single malt. Singe malt is a blend of up to 40 barrels. Single barrel is from 1 barrel. The master distiller selects the best barrels to be single barrel lables and no barrels get blended. All bourbon is aged in a new barrel or its not bourbon. So no point in saying 1st barrel when its never aged in a used barrel.

[@RoyalHam]

Can you recommend some good brands/bottles of bourbon?

[@fyodorbocalbos7997]

Bret Maverick single and malt are different. its "single" n "malt". not "single malt". malt refers to the barley taking a good majority in the ingredients. im not sure what single means. i think distillery

[@otto_jk]

@@RoyalHam you probably don't need this anymore 😂 but Four roses small batch is good although I like scotch more.

[@jackdimillo9688]

Dude you crack me up with those subtle funny comments. Awesome video. Very helpful.

[@BartendingPro]

Haha, thanks Jack... Trying to keep it fun!

[@harshreddy4594]

Note it down gentlemen: Potatoes + yeast + water = Vodka (Russia) Sugarcane Molasses = Rum(Caribbean) Luagaave = Tequila(Mexico) Juniper berries = gin(Netherlands) wheat = Whiskey(USA) Corn and wheat = Bourbon(USA)

[@marvinpotencioso6764]

blue agave my friend

[@otakuofmine]

Whisk(e)y is like Vodka made from grain (mix or pure). Whiskey is is non-scottish, irish or irish based (Scotch) Whisky is from scotland. Single Molt = only Barley.

[@otto_jk]

Yeah wheat is the most common grain for vodka. And whiskey and scotch are more often done from Barley than wheat.

[@otto_jk]

Also gin is just vodka spiced with juniper berries it's not made from juniper berry mash.

[@otto_jk]

And gin isn't mostly from Holland the Dutch drink is Genever and it doesn't taste quite the same as Gin.

[@brianmerritt5410]

Those title cards sound like they are trying to kill me.

[@Paykwee]

I really want to bartend and this is so helpful for me! Very informative and thorough. I'm a novice with not much knowledge of liquor so it helps to see the differences and learn

[@reachmou]

Thank you :) I have my 1st solo bartending job this Sunday. Gathering all the tips from you xoxox

[@trickedouttech321]

Mark Umbenhower Statement below is 100% correct on the single barrel. Also Bourbon can be made anywhere. Not just Bourbon Kentucky. To make a Bourbon you have to follow a few laws or Rules. 1. Bourbon must have at least 51% corn, it can have wheat. Rye. or both as long as 51% is corn. 2. All bourbons are made in new oak barrels. Never using the barrel more then once for bourbon. 3. Bourbons must be ages for at least 3 years. The peat use to smoke the barrel is not a must. Some are lightly smoked and some are not smoked at all. Most of your Scotch. Scottish Whisky or Bourbon is know for more smokey flavored. However this is not a rule in Scotland they are many Scottish bourbon that are not smokey. There is a lot more to whiskey. Whisky and Bourbon especially between Ireland and Scotland and the US. If interesting you just have to do some research.

[@butterflysugarbby]

I'm a new bartender and your videos have helped me a lot! Thank you!

[@lew.iss93]

Best class ever. I have this on replay thanks for this vid man your time is appreciated 🙏🏽

[@jennifernapier611]

You are so knowledgable, and you make this so easy to understand. Many thanks!!

[@BartendingPro]

I've been meaning to shoot a video about absinth. The truth is that it's hardly ever seen in any bars in the US so it's not particularly relevant to most of our viewers...but still, I do intend to cover it eventually :)

[@christophersauer9919]

Thank you for making this video. As a recent graduating bartender I appreciate this video. I'll be watching this vid for the next few days to absorb all the info.

[@TheTristanastar]

All your videos have been a real tool for me. There aren't many pros out there willing to share their knowledge Thank you very much for your effort.

[@spammie29]

Wow! This guy knows so much! I love watching his videos. He has such a great way of explaining things. I always learn allot. I can't believe how much I learned from THIS video. SO much info. Thanks, Jason, for doing what you do!

[@paulpaiva844]

I honestly don't know how you have little subscribers, this is golden, subscribed and keep up the good work!!

[@peterwehmeier5306]

I'm sure the definitions change slightly from country to country, but a liqueur contains sugar of at least 2.5% of mass. Therefore something like Captain Morgans Spiced Rum or a flavoured vodka are still liquors as they do not meet this criteria.

[@nadiaanastasia3873]

I LOVE your videos!! New to the bar tending profession and you're seriously helping me so much! Cheers mate!

[@becmoran9119]

hey from Australia, love how simple you've made this.

[@BartendingPro]

I agree, almost to the 15 yr mark (yikes!) myself and I still learn new stuff almost everyday in this job!!

[@Teklewold1]

Thanks for this! Great information and looking forward to your other videos.

[@S2k2003]

I believe Captain Morgan Spiced Rum is a liquor, not a liqueur. This is from their website: Original Spiced Smooth and medium bodied, Captain Morgan ® Original Spiced is a spirit drink based on a secret blend of Caribbean rums, mellow spice and other natural flavours. It gets its distinct richness and amber colour from aging the rum in charred white oak barrels. Captain Morgan ® Original Spiced is the perfect mix with Cola - the secret recipe of spices blend with the Cola to make a legendary mix! ABV: 35-37.5% (can vary by market) AVAILABLE: Worldwide A spirit is a hard alcohol, or liquor.

[@keversley]

It's a liqueur. The spices and flavourings in Capt. Morgan Spiced Rum are added after the distillation process

[@WesTV]

Straight to the point. What a great video. I've spent 4 years at uni in Aus and in nov i'm doing a Gap year in Canada. When I get back...I want to be a master bartender.

[@ADG2988]

Great video! I've spent ALLLLL night watching your videos. Thank you for educating the masses and being a great bartending ambassador to us all. Hope things are going great.

[@prettygirl12380]

hi Jason love ur videos ive been bartending for 16yrs and u just told me somethings i didnt know lol thanks for being kind enough to share what u know!!

[@calva88]

great vid!!! always giving great advice ... but you forgot a newcomer to the American market... Pisco :) I love pisco sour and would great to see the way you do it. Personally i like doing my simple syrup from scratch and infuse it with sour orange peel, ginger and cinnamon. Then 3 oz of pisco, 1 oz of firm rich green mexican lime(is the most sour, not so bitter) juice and 1 oz of simple syrup. Add that on the shaker .

[@Joe-ck3ju]

Bourbon is made all over kentucky. I live in bardstown which hosts the bourbon festival. We have 3 bourbon distilleries here alone. Heaven Hill, Barton Brands, Willett bourbons. You should check out the bourbon festival though. There is actually no Bourbon ky. There is a Bourbon county but they don't actually have a distillery at all.

[@S2k2003]

Bourbon is also made in Tennessee, or anywhere in the U.S.

[@IdoBlowAndWeed]

Nice videos man, very helpful. btw you look like Dennis from Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia in some videos including this one. lol

[@cgallagherone]

This was such a helpful video and I loved watching. The guy is very handsome, and when I was noticing this fact, I also noticed that he MUST be drinking during the video bc he totally loosens up near the end. For me, for some reason, that adds credence to his opinions and expertise. haha

I don't want to be "that guy", but just to clarify: Bourbon is no longer made in Bourbon County. It was first made there, but Bourbon County is now the only dry county in Kentucky, The only stipulation of it being Bourbon is that it has to have at least 51% corn in it now. Great videos.

[@soulive007]

Are you sure? abc.ky.gov/Licensing%20Resources/WET-DRY-LIST-04.9.13.pdf

[@BartendingPro]

Yes, and the logo is from Saint Hubertus or Hubert, 1st Bishop of Liège. St. Hubert chosen to cure rabies until the early 20th century through the use of the traditional St Hubert's Key, basically branding people with a molten hot iron cross. Mast was a devout follower and fellow Christian, hence the St Hubert's Key insignia logo. Tell people that in a bar and they gloss over..."uh....what?"...never mind, just drink up buddy. The "oh dear god" is more fun to tell....

Jason... Your video series is absolutely brilliant and really fun to go through... I had a few doubts about liqueurs however. I learnt at culinary school that liqueurs not only have artificial flavoring but also the addition of sugar. Does that still make malibu, capt morgan, stoli, etc liqueurs

[@Mataz007]
