[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@removelimitbreak7524]

A little corner of the universe where things are okay.

[@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.

[@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!

[@elberttanner6189]

More peeks at the process would be great.

[@hartweld65]

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

[@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!

[@jessekramer282]

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

[@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 🍻

[@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.

[@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!

[@MrEnigma1610]

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

[@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.

[@Dragon4eva]

Rex has remarkable control over those tiny hands

[@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.

[@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!

[@nightflyer94]

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

[@justinbanks2380]

Great video! Love seeing the behind the scenes. And Rex just being Rex. The little hands. Thought it would get old... Nope! 🤣 And it ended on a heartfelt note. Would love to see more (interspersed with the normal shenanigans of course 😉) Cheers you Magnificent Bastards!

[@alt5494]

Only rex would commit to small hands method acting

[@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!

[@wcraig]

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

[@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!

[@nandusai]

wasnt ready for the feels in the end... it was a pleasure watching the process, the passion and the progress behind all of it... hope to be able to visit you some day... cheers...

[@gonzo3201]

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

[@HiMy_Name_Is]

Awesome video, sooo interesting 👏 Cheers from Poland 🥃

[@SterlingArcher21]

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

[@deniselias5405]

a slow video, a chill video. One of the best I saw from you :) If I will be visiting Texas this year I will try to visit you :) Best wishes from Germany

[@robzilla69]

Some of your best content imo.

[@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.

[@KaliCush]

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

[@markwarner5554]

Hmm. Making bourbon seems to involve a lot more fucking around than I expected it would.

[@davidelourenco2537]

those tiny hands..GOD THAT'S SOOO FUNNY!!!

[@kyleierley4450]

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

[@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.

[@banphit]

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

[@andrewirwin2993]

I absolutely loved this episode!

[@Sth0r]

Hello WT I love watching your videos. When i one day is going on a vecation in the us, ill make my way to the croated barrowl... - Thor

[@PreSSUR3_455]

Truly awesome, cheers you magnificent bastards

[@ericyucha3338]

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

[@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 😆

[@miksologia]

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

[@stephenb4411]

This was a great episode, I hope to see more. 👍👍Smash that like 💥 so we can see more like this!! You all make these videos very entertaining. 😁😁

[@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.

[@hydrolix953]

Shout out to whomever wrote Rex's script!

[@hydrolix953]

🤣

[@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. 🤣

[@alexgeorge2993]

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

[@vincentouwehand828]

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

[@Whiskey_Dave]

I am planning to visit you guys before the end of the year, I hope I can try your creations!

[@AdamPFarnsworth]

One of your best episodes! Love these process videos!

[@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!

[@gabriele4631]

Fantastic video as usual, best ending so far, hope to be there some day

[@davesims3471]

Loved this video! Need more like this!!!

[@tomstevelt9641]

Here's what I am still trying to understand ... How do you make sure that your spirit run is staying under 165 proof?

[@maxpowervidmaster]

You generally need to run a column still with a few plates to get an output above 165. At that point you are making a more Neutral spirit.

[@ahpadt]

I dont know exactly how cuts benefit or dont with bourbon but my favourite scothes have newmake which intentionally pushes a bit into the feints for a more complex spirit.

[@papadunbar]

Great format, great video, love the content on the process.

[@adamlogan384]

How dare you make me all misty eyed while I'm trying to poop.

[@joartdz230]

Moreeee!!! Love the small hands!!

[@simbry49]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@ascendedvegeta]

Those tiny hands fuckin kill me 🤣

[@wind-inmy-face7949]

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

[@hurtfulcrusader3359]

great job as always!. idk if you guys have doen it already but id love to see a video of how you guys got into Whiskey making. like where the step from enjoying whiskey to starting to make it

[@Qub3rs]

This scratched my curiosity itch... I know how Whisk(e)y is made but, seeing how it's made are two different things...

[@mandavaler]

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

[@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.

[@tonsofbees537]

Love these type of videos!

[@willemkilian9563]

Hello there Tribe! Wish I could get more bourbons!

[@danielhamilton9472]

The ending was the ultimate welcome. Thanks. August is close. Hope to see some classes next year. It’s on the radar. Safe travels and keep dropping Great content. 🥃

[@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. 🥃

[@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!!

[@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!

[@robertbrewer2055]

I appreciate your closing statement! Hopefully I will get to be there soon. Keep up the awesome videos and the great work!

[@EthanSterner]

Beer only has to be pasteurized if it is imported to the US. Domestic beer doesn’t have to be pasteurized.

[@whiskeywishingwell6076]

Your a special group. Great video, thanks for showing the process in an entertaining way. Rex need s a Hairnet or a haircut, Can't have them locks hanging in the barrel like that.

[@tommccafferty5591]

Given the near drought condition in Central Texas, what do you use to supplement the rainwater?

[@kyleo1236]

I think you might have misspoke about the amylase after cooling down to around 90. I think you meant to say glucoamylase or beta amylase. Alpha makes the long chain sugars, gluco or beta takes the long chain and chops them up. Yeast can do that too but it takes them longer and stresses them more so off flavors can result.

[@tonyk421]

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

[@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.

[@theprettybond159]

Outro got me a bit

[@Ebbyman413]

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

[@rrayjay5171]

I definitely enjoyed this type of video! Thank you for sharing.

[@a.w.3480]

id name that drink the "Ryes & Shine"

[@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

[@corsair1986]

I wish i can work for you :) but damn i live in germany.....

[@SomebodysVincent]

I love it.

[@domen321]

More episodes like this please :)

[@jared1zn]

Awesome episode please more like this & please bring back the shenanigans 😊😊

[@texasman1000able]

that was an awesome video. I hope to one day try some of your products, but for now I guess it's the bigger brands in my home bar.

[@arashfouman9106]

let us know when "absolutely no idea" is available in the tasting room. I'll be there in a snap!

[@joshuasasmor6565]

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

[@MellowYellowMan]

A heartfelt and wonderful change of pace my friends!

[@julienalonso22]

Ahhh privada invading the magnificent bastards warms my heart

[@ethancollins3429]

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