Whisky and MIRACLE FRUIT Taste Test

[@benjamintworek]

The sound production team did way more than their job on this one. Beautiful. Lol

My word the editing is phenomenal, I'm getting the vibes of the Original Top Gear before Jeremy Clarkson left...that's exactly it! Top Gear for Whisk(e)y!

Rex: I'm just more moist than you. Daniel: Moving along...

[@MephistoRolling]

I used to grow miracle fruit, the fresh ones work even better when I tried them! the berries are super sweet and creamy. makes everything sour taste like sherbert.

[@kylehayden3113]

The way miraculin (the chemical in the berries that is special) works is it just blocks the sour and bitter taste receptors on your tongue and because you can't taste the sour or bitter, the sweet just comes to the front. The berries don't actually change the flavor profile, just mask a portion of it

[@dkelly387z]

Those final seconds where you realize that Rex is the spawn of a Trash Panda and a Squirrel! 💯🤣🤗 Outstanding show boys!

Should have gotten Shwood and Murphy involved in this. They have prior experience and could have helped make the suffering even better.

You tube says I already watched this video but because I drink whiskey while watching this I don't actually remember watching this. Whiskey tube magic.😂

[@Chef_PC]

You should try some Gymnema Sylvestre extract. It literally removes all sweetness from your palate, so all you get is amplified bitter, salt, sour and umami.

[@frankgood341]

Would love to see a episode on the vault for price point whiskey. I know it depends where you live. Best whiskey up to $100, best whiskey up to $300, best whiskey up to $500. Scotch and bourbon.

[@mildlydazed9608]

Never had I thought I'd ever see a hobbit chipmunking a handful of sour candies..

[@The-SaltiestPretzel]

Oh man, Rex ate the berries whole? Might've inhibited the sweetening effect by coating your mouth with oils and other things from the seeds. Might've been part of why the warheads got you so bad. Either way, thank you for testing the effect with whiskey! The more foods it gets tested with the better we figure out where to use it in culinary practice.

[@Caerigna]

The best part of this was the tearing up candy chipmunks in pain moments.

[@Angavelmar]

I would really like to have Daniel as a friend, he seems such a nice and knowledgeable guy that's just cool to hang with.

Can you try with Jameson? The basic Jameson (it’s my go to)

[@CountryRock2k1]

I thought Rex's reaction to cottage cheeese was hilarious, then I got to the sour candy reaction. I died of laughter.

[@joshuat5874]

Really digging the new intro and editing keep it up!

[@Njennings42]

I'd be curious to know how these react with a nice gin

[@cactusmann5542]

It would make it worse i think. I am into gin and botanicals, so id guess some flavors are best left sour and herby. I think anything miracle fruit related would be best used for wine(especially dry wine) and tequila..maybe some types of brandy as well. Angosture bitters is a maybe. I think it may end up tasting like campari or aperol or something. But i wouldnt pair them with anything already sweet or herbal/sour/

[@Njennings42]

@@cactusmann5542 Suppose it would depend on the gin. I like a nice dry gin not sweet with not a super strong herbal note. I think it would be okay, but I also like a pine needle tea lol, which I usually dab with a little bit of honey for sweetness.

[@partyfarmer957]

Cottage cheese on a baked potato mixed with some sour cream, butter, and bacon bits. Try it.

[@MakooWallinen]

I want more of this. With different whiskeys etc.

[@thomasleffers5304]

So is that a 7 course steak dinner? 7 of the most expensive whiskeys in the vault and the most delectable cut of meat as the appetizer. Or will daniel hobbit out of his bet and just get some cube steak that was on sale? Also is it just me or did anyone else's mouth get sour as you watched? These videos are always the best part of my Saturdays! Thank you for your sacrifice!

[@ArmyBoiSweat]

hey could anyone suggest a good Japanese whisk(e) i'm a bit new to broader whisk(e) y horizons. i've heard they exist and i would like to try them

[@radicalpaddyo]

Presumably the aging of the whiskeys increases the sugars (complex sugars) in a Whiskey? And therefore they come through more with the pills. So the cheaper and therefore younger whiskeys literally haven't had the time to get any sweetness. I remember a winemaker telling me something about how her Rieslings just got sweeter and 'oil-ier' with age as the chemistry inside the barrels just worked that way.

[@elixwhitetail]

You get wood sugars, wood tannins, and things that break down into caramel and vanilla out of barrels. The longer spirit sits in the barrel, the more it extracts; as Daniel's said several times on episodes the rule of thumb is that barreling at comparatively higher proof gets you more of the bitter tannic wood compounds and putting the spirit in the barrel at relatively lower proof promotes the extraction of wood sugars, and obviously letting a spirit sit in the barrel longer will give you more of everything compared to spirit that's only begun aging. Conceivably a distiller could find the optimal alcohol % to put the spirit into the barrel at in order to maximize wood sugar extraction in a long-aging whiskey and produce a very sweet and caramel whiskey with comparatively little tannic wood notes for the age. It's likely that at least some whiskies around the world may have been distilled with at least this overall idea in mind, if not trying to maximize the sweetness to the exclusion of all else. In a related thought, most of the big distillers in Canada distill each grain separately and begin with aging a high-proof neutral grain spirit (that's essentially vodka at the start) as a base and then distill, age, and blend in lower-proof flavouring whiskies; this practice is also found in Japan among Nikka and I think Suntory, with a high-proof neutral base whiskey and key (flavour) whiskies blended in. While not every Canadian (or Japanese) whisky is going to be sweet and complex, it might be worthwhile experimenting with miracle berry tablets and more-aged Canadian whiskies (if you can get them).

Daniel was all calm and collective while it seemed that Rex was going to lose the steak. Get some malic acid from amazon, it is what makes warheads sour, and see what concoctions that can be brought to the table with that.

[@MrCoco2344]

I think its both malic and citric acid

[@prjndigo]

try spicy pickles with these XD Also roasted mixed peppercorn ice cream is awesome.
