Fuk Single Grain Japanese Whiskey Review

[@zwhitney82]

Finally got bastardized! I absolutely donated this bottle just for Rex to have fun with. Never tasted it, didn't research it, didn't care. I just saw it on the shelf and knew Rex had to have it.

[@jordanlewis4308]

You magnificent BAAAAASSTTAAAAAARRRRRD

[@bavo981]

Your dedication to bullshittery is admirable.

[@1218Draco]

Zach Whitney, you magnificent BASTAAARD!!

[@dumpeeplarfunny]

Thank you for giving a Fuk. lol

[@prestonw3878]

Funny episode. Thank you

[@DileepB]

FUK Japanese whisky is a three year-old whisky, distilled from barley, instead of rice; like most Japanese whiskies. The abbreviation FUK stands for Fukuoka International Airport. Located in Kureme city, Fukuoka prefecture, FUK whisky is a travels expression, thus it is named after the Fukuoka International Airport.

[@au1317]

My good friend lived in Fukuoka for over a year after moving to Japan. He said it was one of the best times of his life. He met his current wife there

[@cpguy99ify]

That's racist!

[@1218Draco]

Imagine a variety pack of Japanese treats, from Fukuoka. Call it “Fuk Wad”

[@unclemikiesworld]

Now I have a real need to see you guys do a tour of Japanese distilleries

[@williamcoppeler783]

Mezcal has a massive flavor spectrum. Each agave has its own flavor profile. And there are dozens of agaves used in the production of mezcal. This doesn't even scratch the surface of ensembles and pechugas or agave being fermented in cowhide (delicious). I started my spirit journey with mezcals, but I have started into whiskeys now, thanks to watching so many reviews and the descriptions you provide of them. I would suggest whiskey and mezcal are on par with each other in regard to the diversity in flavors that can be found in each. And would suggest anyone serious about whiskey and its depth should also look into mezcal as well.

[@nevar108]

I just started getting into Mezcals last year... and damn it is a journey. It took a while to even appreciate what i was drinking at the start, but it has grown on me hand over hand. I think the thing that shocks me the most is that 100proof Mescals can have NO bite...

[@davidf3974]

That opening sequence banter is top tier friendship material

[@gavinng9969]

Fukuoka is one of my favourite Japanese cities. They have so many great whisky bars there and it's a pretty walkable city.

[@JeffWhisky]

The Design of the bottle really slaps, having FUK in bold they know what they are doing an that "Lets Go" on the bottle is brilliant!

[@Wilvekio69]

Happy Monday Morning MB's :)

[@TomCowley23]

Afternoon from the UK!

[@robviousobviously5757]

mornin

[@Redwolfblack13]

Morning!

[@gabrielmariz9610]

Nice video! Have you guys ever tasted Brazilian whisky? "Union Distillery" and "Lamas Destilaria" have some excelent bottles. Lamas speccialy have a lot of eccentric whiskies using Brazilian wood. I'd love to see your impressions.

[@Aubrey_Universe]

The only spirit other than whisky that I feel has a diverse flavour wheel that can exist is rum, which I also enjoy.

[@LitoCortes]

You got it right the fist time Rex, Sa-Keh definitely not Sa-ki 😊

[@shlomoschleifer8119]

Good morning Great way to start my day ❤❤

[@tadpoleAcres]

Morning!

[@chrisanderson2368]

I'm interested in a Japanese whisky overview

[@markspyrison9659]

I can't play the audio here in my doctor's office's waiting room, so maybe Daniel and Rex are pronouncing FUK correctly, but - at the risk of sounding judgemental - I doubt it. There is no real F in Japanese. Their F sounds like a cross between the sound of the word 'who' and a really soft 'f' as you might hear in the word 'philosophy'. The 'u' is always the 'u' in English words such as 'blue' and 'sue,' and never the 'u' sound found in words such as 'fun' or 'run'. So FUK won't sound like 'fuck' but rather like the English word 'duke' but with a 'who' sound at the start. Hope everyone is thoroughly confused now. You're welcome.

[@Backroad_Junkie]

Yeah, like there won't be any unintentional innuendo about this one, lol.... First! (Edit: Whenever I've visited the liquor store in the Mitsuwa near me, I've noticed a great number of neutral grain spirits. (They even come in plastic bottles, lol.) Something like this could just be a niche product in Japan...)

[@Rubberduck-tx2bh]

How about taking a bottle or three of this & putting it in a small barrel for more aging? Or oak spiral/cubes for smaller batch.

[@Rafael-jj1ye]

If something is watered down with alcohol, would that technically be watered up?

[@meesternibbles]

Here just for the name of the whisky.... this will be good

[@shortlivedglory3314]

Perfect whiskey for a gift. Really communicates that you give a Fuk.

[@DracoOmnia]

😂 I was deployed when my brother graduated high school, so I mailed him a gift and it said to read the card first and I go on about how life on deployment blows, "so you're graduating, like I give a flying fuck... Okay, open the package" and it was a rc helicopter but the body was just a Styrofoam "FUCK" with rotors sticking out. Probably my greatest setup for a gift ever, I just wish I was there or had someone video tape it lol

[@ckeats2]

So near the Fukushima power plant?

[@DracoOmnia]

Rex definitely said "may you steal your livers heart" and I'm about it

[@prestonw3878]

You guys make me laugh. And I really want to try that whisky!

[@daletv1572]

Just bought a 12 year old bushmills distillery reserve bottle and their distillery exclusive which is matured in acacia Wood. Would love to see ur thoughts and tasting notes for these ones

[@whoknows6002]

daniels german "sorry" wasn't too bad

[@ErikWaitWhiskyStudies]

ACTUALLY (said with a know-it-all preteen accent) Fukuoka (Japanese: 福岡市) was the name of John Lennon’s second wife.

[@vaughanstewart9715]

That distillery sells a barley Shochu aged 3 years on French oak. It could be possible it’s this product

[@safromnc8616]

I was really hoping for a cameo from Briana....

[@rossfudd256]

Good day Gentlemen.

[@ImJustADave]

Phonetically it IS foo-coo-oh-ka so you had it spot on Daniel!

[@JAF30]

Is the distillery in the same town that cause the Bob and Tom show so much trouble a few years ago?

[@-RONNIE]

Good review thanks 🥃

[@KrazyMitchAdventures]

Fuk: a Japanese symbol meaning "fortune", also transliterated Fook, Fuku, or Fu & FUK, IATA code of Fukuoka Airport in Japan

[@Dr.Ballsonya]

True men of culture. Fuking great video as always. 😅

[@mmwosu]

Any thoughts on the industry impact, good or bad, of Kentucky doing away with the bourbon barrel tax?

[@David-so9qx]

Not sure why, but that bottle brings me to Austin Power's... 🤔

[@kristopherkneisler570]

controlled oxidation boys? barrel flavor is not always paramount? i dont know

[@nicknorthcutt7680]

🤣🤣🤣 I love this channel so much

[@nikmabc]

Maybe its made to drink with sushi? Something with neutral flavor and cleansing the palate.

[@viktorbryce951]

Can somebody link me the referenced channel? I can’t find it but would love to follow to learn more about Japanese Whiskey

[@Deimnos]

So how long can you use a barel before tossing it out?

[@jquinlan]

I enjoyed a dram at Sofa King Good Noodles

[@superhumanben]

I was there for basket cam... ah the days gone by.

[@XirpEleswyr]

Nice tactical pause and leadup at the start to avoid the youtube anti swearing demonitization :P

[@melloganeb]

I was really expecting to hear, “Zach Whitney, you magnificent FUK’n bastard!” 😂

[@josephkordinak1591]

I have flown through that airport before.

[@omidnamadi9262]

Did rex say if you steal may you steal your liver’s heart?

[@Karl_Marksman]

"they have now so all gotten". Wow Daniel really went full Tito Ortiz in this one

[@DECCAWADE]

Fukuoka ! Been there. Met an alley cat. Named him Keiji Hashimoto.

[@umami0247]

Aged in stainless steel. Would never buy this ever. Thanks for taking one for the team.

[@robviousobviously5757]

GOOD MORNING YOU MB'S.... 🥃 WT Fuk... 😂

[@valachimus]

Listening to Rex describe the barrel used to age this whiskey, I can only think of 'Your Mom' jokes. LOL

[@jasonjenkins7825]

I thought I was watching Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany's for a moment. Frankly, I'm appalled.

[@JRMshadow260a]

It doesn't have to be a used oak barrels, the weather in Texas has you forgetting that there is different kinds of weather... I'm sorry that texas weather isn't a worldwide phenomenon...😁😁😁 What if it was a old barrel that has just been lightly toasted, OR it was a used saka barrel that was reworked and lightly toasted... Your saving grace is there are no Japanese distilleries watching your channel... 😋😋😋

[@kvetcha]

Vowels in Japanese are pronounced consistently - roughly speaking, A is 'ah', O is 'oh', U is 'oo', E is 'ey', I is 'ee'.

[@jacksonwhittaker1448]

Ah, Fuk. I can't believe you've done this.

[@Heart872]

Daniel's ear is missing from the thumb nail again...

[@jquinlan]

🥇🥇🥇

[@guyb7005]

1:46 lol !!!

[@shodansmith]

It won’t go away!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@SlaserX]

It's Sah Kay

[@Phlegm187]

FUK is what they gave 0 of when they were making this concoction. Tastes like it was aged in used Fukushima reactors.

[@ChrisWCorp]

Did we just watch Daniel and Rex review a Sake? 🤔

[@cannistershot2277]

Totally expected the review to end with "What the Fuk?!?"

[@vortex2598]

The ultimate evolution of the game is when someone says something completely unrelated to race, and you puzzle them by saying "that's racist". Rex and Banana will achieve this level soon. "Hey, I'm thinking about making a run out to Arby's. Want anything?" "THAT'S RACIST!"

[@timvassberg9502]

So when you try this and nose this you say FUK. Then when you mouth it you say FUK. Then when you look an how much it cost you say FUK. Great labeling!!!!

[@hamo4558]

That moment at 8:24 lmao

[@DavidMendenhall-n6o]

It's the air port short

[@arcanum3000]

While I haven't watched the channel exhaustively, this is the first whiskey I've seen that you're both just "No. Nope. We do not like this."

[@jasonh5109]

Was that a mosquito on Rex's eyebrow? I guess we'll see in the next video when he looks like Daniel gave him a shiner...🤣

[@Spiritus_Invictus]

This whisky has some meme material. "Hi man, heard you had your first whiskey. What did you... - Fuk whisky. Well that a little harsh. I mean nobody's great with their first. - No, Fuk whisky. Fuk as in the brand Fuk. Ow... So how was it - f*ck

[@davidjames766]

At the end it sounds like you said "may you steal your livers heart". Not only is it appropriate but I now will never hear it any other way.

[@timothyhoehn4912]

Now drop a few charred wood staves into it and come back later.

[@philst-pierre]

I miss briana on this one...😂

[@koreywilliams4570]

I was fully expecting to hear alot of bells and dinging noises 🤣 random sounds

[@norapper6182]

Sake is very dangerous 😂 taste like water not very strong I drank a whole bottle first time I tried it and I was gone and didn’t remember anything from the night before 😂

[@dumpeeplarfunny]

3:45 Wait, what? Daniel speaks German? Scheisse. Ich spreche auch ein Bisschen Deutsch.

[@michoacan1446]

I'm just here for the name NGL.

[@nonjaninja4904]

Legendary magnificent bastard. Lol. Fook yu, fook mi. Austin Powers vibes lol.

[@jordanlewis4308]

Holy FUK

[@YoJimBo851610]

Thats rac!$+😂😂😂

[@DemonbreedGaming]

All that effort to get fukuoka right, just to call it saki lmfao Edit: WHY IS REX THE ONE TO SAY SAKE RIGHT LMAO

[@YoJimBo851610]

Christopher Columbus 1st

[@styx85]

Hehehe.

[@thomasd728]

Mental note never take directions from Daniel..

[@TheRoninShowGun]

Hahaha 😂

[@guitaradam2000]

FYI....pronounced "Fu-koh-kah"

[@StereoTyp0]

Did you mean, "foo-koo-oh-kah"?

[@Boringbogan]

Most common thing I have heard on this one is that it’s like saki was aged in a whiskey barrel.

[@benjamintworek]

It was aged 3 years in a glass beaker so it gained no flavor whatsoever

[@f1rehawk99]

The location is pronounced Fu-ko-ka but I’m not sure how you would pronounce the whiskey

[@xanderlewis]

What makes you think it’s pronounced like that?

[@johnhunt1725]

Ah, so.

[@81mysharona]

That’s racist.

[@beauhodges7957]

It's pronounced Foo just so you know

[@erikevenson4303]

The one time I am glad Brianna is not doing a review.

[@runawayrick2461]

Hear me out. This episode should have been Rex and Briana.

[@LynetteBunBun]

i just used google it does sound exactly like that curseword you guys really wanted to say

[@SPORKLyFE]

Sounds horrid.

[@IcarusFallz]

Fook

[@Edgar-Friendly]

foo-koo-oh-kuh. sah-kay not sah-keeeeeee
