Whiskey in the Old West, part 2

[@greghardy9476]

“If the ocean were whiskey and I was a duck…” The good Lord created whiskey so the Irish wouldn’t rule the world! That’s always resonated with my Celtic heritage! LOL! Great one, Santee!

Basically a non-drinker, but make my own beer (gluten free). Before I went to kindergarten I was taught how to distill with a great-uncle who was raised in the tradition. He came home from WWI and found the alcoholic wilson outlawed his trade. BTW, wilson died of complications from being an alcoholic. A stove top copper boiler, a mile of copper line, he and Dad made the barrels of white oak aged a year, and charred them. Every season he and I would run to abandoned farms and pick summer apples, then in the fall back to gather pears, peaches, winter apples and so on. One gallon of brandy went to the crusher (who did a half ton of fruit at a time), and the juice was put in barrels with tight lids for months. Meanwhile, greencorn sour mash, rye, and so on were perking. Dad raised pigs because pigs can eat the spent mash and not stagger around in front of revenuers. Well, not much LOL. Cattle got a little, too, but only up in the brush. Pappy and Gramps both followed the old tradition and like my uncle, made quality bootleg. No chemicals, and aged in oak casks, and delivered in them. niio

I met an old time moonshiner from the prohibition era and beyond. He made really good stuff. He told me to make up for the barrel color and flavor in a fresh batch they carmalized butter in a cast iron skillet and added it. You had to get the butter just right. Where there's a will someone will find a way.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

I'd try that!

[@TUCOtheratt]

That was a very interesting backstory on charring the barrels.

[@bigblue6917]

In the UK some brewers will buy used whiskey barrels to store their stout in. I believe something similar is done using bourbon barrels in the US. You get the feeling you could have a good time just sniffing the barrels.

I,m probably going to be adding whiskey to my storys world for my writing projects.

In a couple of Louis L'Amour's books he describes some home brews and Indian Whiskey or Corn Liquor as containing corn , fresh spring water distilled down to a mash. Then add a plug of soap to give it some body , a plug of tobacco to add some color and some raw meat to give it that old and mellow taste and let it sit and ferment for about a month. Soldiers during the Civil War would make something with bark juice and tar water plus the soap , tobacco and raw meat and corn or whatever else that was handy. This Whiskey Concoction was called by several names. Two of which were Popskull and Knock'um Stiff. I wonder what them of the old west would have thought of WW2 Pacific favorites , for the Navy "GO NAVY BEAT ARMY" was called Torpedo Juice and for the Army jungle juice.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Yes, there was even an Indian alcoholic beverage called Tiswin.

[@THEVikingShaman]

Excellent episode, and now for a couple "fun" facts about whiskey - It's spelled two different ways depending on where it originates from, "whiskey" is how it was originally spelled in Ireland, and "whisky", which is how it was originally spelled in Scotland. Also, a common cure for methanol/alcohol poisoning from bad hooch back in the day, was actually about a shot's worth of quality spirits, such as whiskey, a method that is still used to this day in certain parts of the world.

I love the world "hooch" 🥃🥃

[@joewelsh8979]

Nice vid Santee! I'm from Utah and the Mormon folk use to make a whiskey called Valley Tan and from what I was told is that it got the name Tan from the hide tanning chemicals that they used. Empty bottles of it are TOUGH to find. I think that Ken Sanders from Ken Sanders Rare Books might have one

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Wow, I thought Mormons didn't drink...?

[@joewelsh8979]

@ArizonaGhostriders The practice from obtaining from alcohol came a little bit later. Joseph Smith gave Porter Rockwell his first Bar. Porter Rockwell died in the city stables from alcoholism. I didn't post this to spread rumors about the Mormon faith. My family came to Park City, Utah in 1874; and it was a pretty tough mining town then. We were always taught to repect all faiths . My family is old Irish Catholic.

[@justdustino1371]

The majority of whiskey bottles I find here at late 19th, early 20th century sites, are pint and half pint size embossed "Jos. Magnus Cincinnati, O." with a raging lion and quiver of arrows emblem. Those bottles date to the 1880s-1910s from what I understand, and Magnus was a bottler and distributor, not a distiller. By federal law whiskey can only be labeled as Bourbon if it was distilled in Bourbon County, Kentucky and if you find a liquor bottle that is embossed "Federal Law Prevents the Sale or Reuse" it dates to 1934-1964 when the law was changed. When Prohibition ended in 1934 the Feds didn't want bathtub gin and shine makers reusing bottles to make their stuff look legit.😂❤

On the subject of taste testing, beer is probably the beverage we would notice the most difference in. I've heard that beers tasted completely different pre and post Prohibition.

I grew up in rural Mississippi and even as a kid I knew three places to get moonshine. It came in coke bottles, mason jars and gallon jugs. People sold it out of their house and generally you needed somebody they knew to get the stuff, but that wasn't a real problem. It was clear as water and if they added color it was generally snuff. It didn't affect the flavor because it was so rank anyway you couldn't make it worse. It was true rotgut and I am surprised I lived through it. If you were out in the woods hunting and caught a whiff of mash fermenting it was a good idea to go in the other direction. But Ms legalized alcohol in 1966. Before that the joke was the bootleggers and Baptists would stagger to the polls and vote dry.

Thanks for fact-checking the shot myth, Santee. The first recorded use if the word was here in the UK somewhere in the late 17th century. There is speculation that it is a corruption of the word 'short', which was, until very recently the most often used word in the UK to describe any measure of spirits. However, the word short' may itself be derived from an old Scottish word meaning (roughly) 'to shoot', suggesting the way the measure was poured swiftly into the glass. Scotch Whisky as produced in Scotland is generally matured in barrels made from American or Eutopean Oak, with only the American ones being scorched. The European ones are very lightly burned. The barrels may have previously contained Bourbon or fortified wines such as port or sherry respectively. You may have guessed I like Whisky and words.
