1
00:00:06,707 --> 00:00:08,674
[narrator] this time
on moonshiners...
2
00:00:08,676 --> 00:00:09,908
[digger] you know,
any old-timer
3
00:00:09,910 --> 00:00:12,277
that's been involved
in this craft will tell you
4
00:00:12,279 --> 00:00:14,780
water's the most
important ingredient.
5
00:00:14,782 --> 00:00:16,849
Is there any chance
you'd let us set up here,
6
00:00:16,851 --> 00:00:18,017
make a little liquor?
7
00:00:18,019 --> 00:00:20,319
That's a...
That's a big question.
8
00:00:20,321 --> 00:00:21,887
Now, it's time to meet
the green fairy.
9
00:00:21,889 --> 00:00:23,288
Let's go get her.
10
00:00:23,724 --> 00:00:26,792
Our buyer wants to pay
$250 for this
one gallon of absinthe.
11
00:00:26,794 --> 00:00:28,761
But if we can impress him
with this product,
12
00:00:28,763 --> 00:00:31,063
there's no telling
how much money we can make.
13
00:00:31,065 --> 00:00:33,999
Ooh! To hell with liquor,
we're gonna make pie.
14
00:00:34,001 --> 00:00:36,268
We're gonna do a trade
but we've never run any brandy
15
00:00:36,270 --> 00:00:37,269
in this new rig.
16
00:00:37,271 --> 00:00:39,138
Damn it! So wet, man.
17
00:00:39,140 --> 00:00:40,105
If we can't make it work,
18
00:00:40,107 --> 00:00:42,274
we're gonna be out
thousands of dollars.
19
00:00:43,844 --> 00:00:46,378
[digger] this is how
we make the moonshine.
20
00:00:49,150 --> 00:00:52,117
[suspenseful music playing]
21
00:00:53,954 --> 00:00:57,156
[digger] it's our
last resort right here.
22
00:00:58,759 --> 00:01:01,527
[narrator] just north
of cocke county, tennessee,
23
00:01:01,529 --> 00:01:03,796
mark and digger
take a long shot
24
00:01:03,798 --> 00:01:07,066
on gaining access to a prized
source of limestone water
25
00:01:07,068 --> 00:01:09,368
for their tennessee whisky.
26
00:01:09,370 --> 00:01:12,738
The problem is that source
is owned and operated
27
00:01:12,740 --> 00:01:14,973
by a legitimate business.
28
00:01:14,975 --> 00:01:18,043
We've looked tail west and
crooked for limestone water.
29
00:01:18,045 --> 00:01:18,811
Well,
30
00:01:18,813 --> 00:01:19,945
I guess no luck.
31
00:01:19,947 --> 00:01:22,981
At this point, this is
the only option we've got.
32
00:01:22,983 --> 00:01:26,018
If we can't find
a good source of
limestone water,
33
00:01:26,020 --> 00:01:28,120
where we can set up and run,
34
00:01:28,122 --> 00:01:31,056
then we're dead in the water
on tennessee whiskey.
35
00:01:31,058 --> 00:01:33,959
-And we're kinda
out of choices here.
-Right.
36
00:01:34,195 --> 00:01:35,294
Can I help you?
37
00:01:36,163 --> 00:01:37,362
[digger] well, hey, john.
38
00:01:37,364 --> 00:01:38,897
Do you happen to remember us?
39
00:01:38,899 --> 00:01:40,099
I do.
40
00:01:40,101 --> 00:01:41,800
Been a while since
I've seen you all.
41
00:01:41,802 --> 00:01:43,202
Well...
42
00:01:43,204 --> 00:01:45,971
-We're like bad money,
we'll always turn up.
-How you doing, buddy?
43
00:01:45,973 --> 00:01:47,072
[mark] the english mountain
spring water.
44
00:01:47,074 --> 00:01:49,541
This is the greatest water
in the world.
45
00:01:49,543 --> 00:01:52,111
We've always got water there
for tempering our liquor.
46
00:01:52,113 --> 00:01:54,279
But we've got to
have access to it
47
00:01:54,281 --> 00:01:56,215
where we can
set a still site up.
48
00:01:56,851 --> 00:01:58,750
We're kinda up a stump, um,
49
00:01:58,752 --> 00:02:01,553
we're kinda on a bended knee
right now, if you will.
50
00:02:01,555 --> 00:02:03,789
We'd like to talk
about your water.
51
00:02:03,791 --> 00:02:05,224
John's a business man,
52
00:02:05,226 --> 00:02:08,527
I'm kind of a business man,
53
00:02:08,529 --> 00:02:11,063
and I approached it from
that angle with him.
54
00:02:11,065 --> 00:02:12,064
We really was wondering
55
00:02:12,066 --> 00:02:14,333
if you'd care if
we captured a little of it?
56
00:02:14,335 --> 00:02:17,269
We've emulated
tennessee whiskey pretty good,
57
00:02:17,271 --> 00:02:19,271
and that involves
58
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:20,873
good
59
00:02:20,875 --> 00:02:23,342
hard limestone water.
60
00:02:23,344 --> 00:02:26,044
Your water's hard enough that
it will suit our purpose.
61
00:02:26,046 --> 00:02:28,714
I don't see how
we can go wrong
62
00:02:28,716 --> 00:02:29,848
with your water.
63
00:02:29,850 --> 00:02:33,752
But we got to have
your blessing as well.
64
00:02:33,754 --> 00:02:36,021
You know, I don't know really
what john's thinking,
65
00:02:36,023 --> 00:02:37,823
his legitimate business here,
66
00:02:37,825 --> 00:02:39,725
and digger
and myself wanting to
67
00:02:39,727 --> 00:02:41,994
participate in
illegal activities.
68
00:02:41,996 --> 00:02:44,129
[john] well, you know,
I'd have to think about it
a little bit,
69
00:02:44,131 --> 00:02:45,831
but I think we can definitely
sit down
70
00:02:45,833 --> 00:02:47,199
and have a chat.
71
00:02:47,201 --> 00:02:49,701
He's not shutting us out
completely.
72
00:02:49,703 --> 00:02:50,769
That's a good sign.
73
00:02:50,771 --> 00:02:52,671
[john] come on in,
see what we can find out.
74
00:02:52,673 --> 00:02:54,206
[digger] age before beauty
there, hey.
75
00:02:54,208 --> 00:02:56,108
[john] come on back, guys.
We'll show you around.
76
00:02:56,110 --> 00:02:57,209
[digger] you got a lot of
cameras in here.
77
00:02:57,211 --> 00:03:00,045
-That makes us nervous.
-[john laughs]
78
00:03:00,047 --> 00:03:00,946
[john] well, our spring
puts out about
79
00:03:00,948 --> 00:03:03,081
2.5 million gallons
of water a day.
80
00:03:03,083 --> 00:03:06,218
Our water has
a very unique chemistry to it.
81
00:03:06,220 --> 00:03:07,553
There's a lot
of minerals in there,
82
00:03:07,555 --> 00:03:08,887
potassium, magnesium.
83
00:03:08,889 --> 00:03:11,256
Things that give it
that unique taste.
84
00:03:11,258 --> 00:03:15,027
But all that stuff is really
engineered by nature.
85
00:03:15,029 --> 00:03:16,028
-That's something else.
-Amazing.
86
00:03:16,030 --> 00:03:17,429
Well, let's head outside.
87
00:03:19,166 --> 00:03:20,766
[digger] this hillside
that leads up
88
00:03:20,768 --> 00:03:21,600
to english mountain,
89
00:03:21,602 --> 00:03:23,535
the forest here is untouched.
90
00:03:23,537 --> 00:03:26,772
John said that he's traced it
back to the early 1800s.
91
00:03:26,774 --> 00:03:28,173
You'll notice that
92
00:03:28,175 --> 00:03:30,909
tree that's right up there
has got a real unique
bend to it.
93
00:03:30,911 --> 00:03:33,111
I was doing some
research online
94
00:03:33,113 --> 00:03:35,013
about native american history
and
95
00:03:35,049 --> 00:03:36,248
what I found was
96
00:03:36,250 --> 00:03:39,084
native americans had
a tendency to fix those
97
00:03:39,086 --> 00:03:40,852
so they could mark a spot.
98
00:03:40,854 --> 00:03:42,921
So, I figured that
that's a marker tree.
99
00:03:42,923 --> 00:03:45,524
I can't say for real that
that is,
100
00:03:45,526 --> 00:03:48,327
but it looks identical to
everything that I saw online.
101
00:03:48,329 --> 00:03:51,029
-[digger] yeah,
it's been there a while.
-[mark] yes, it has.
102
00:03:51,232 --> 00:03:53,465
Looky there, puss.
103
00:03:53,467 --> 00:03:54,766
[digger] that's a spring
right there.
104
00:03:54,768 --> 00:03:57,803
You don't see anybody's
water bubbling up that big.
105
00:03:57,805 --> 00:03:58,971
This water's beautiful.
106
00:03:58,973 --> 00:04:01,473
Gem-clear water running
right out of the mountains.
107
00:04:01,475 --> 00:04:03,675
Water travels through
that limestone spring,
108
00:04:03,677 --> 00:04:06,812
it picks up the minerals
out of that limestone.
109
00:04:06,814 --> 00:04:08,647
[john] we've got a valve
inside the plant,
110
00:04:08,649 --> 00:04:10,148
-so when we're
not processing...
-Wow!
111
00:04:10,150 --> 00:04:12,718
...That water goes back
to a settling pond.
112
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,219
It just goes right back
into the environment,
113
00:04:14,221 --> 00:04:16,688
so we don't anymore
than what we need.
114
00:04:16,690 --> 00:04:18,123
That water is constantly
moving.
115
00:04:18,125 --> 00:04:19,992
-We never let it
sit in a pond.
-Yeah.
116
00:04:19,994 --> 00:04:21,193
[digger] you don't get
no closer to the source
117
00:04:21,195 --> 00:04:22,227
than you do right here.
118
00:04:22,229 --> 00:04:23,895
Down through there,
I saw green rocks,
119
00:04:23,897 --> 00:04:26,031
and that's an
indication of copper.
120
00:04:26,033 --> 00:04:28,233
First thing I see on
these rocks, that green color.
121
00:04:28,235 --> 00:04:31,003
That tells me that
that's copper in those rocks.
122
00:04:31,005 --> 00:04:32,537
So, that's a good sign that
123
00:04:32,539 --> 00:04:34,773
this water's some of the best
if copper's in it.
124
00:04:34,775 --> 00:04:36,108
[mark] you know,
this water's so clear,
125
00:04:36,110 --> 00:04:39,978
-if it was 100 feet deep,
you could see the bottom.
-[john] yeah.
126
00:04:39,980 --> 00:04:42,848
English mountain spring water,
it's incredibly famous.
127
00:04:42,850 --> 00:04:44,049
It won an award for
128
00:04:44,051 --> 00:04:46,184
best-tasting water
in the world.
129
00:04:46,186 --> 00:04:49,054
And, you know, I would love
to have access to it.
130
00:04:49,056 --> 00:04:51,890
We know it's fantastic water.
131
00:04:51,892 --> 00:04:54,159
Would you be opposed to us
bringing a little, small still
132
00:04:54,161 --> 00:04:55,761
in here and doing a little
133
00:04:55,763 --> 00:04:58,497
experimental run
and see what it'd do?
134
00:04:59,733 --> 00:05:02,000
Could be a selling point
on down the line, you know,
135
00:05:02,002 --> 00:05:03,835
there might be some
big distillery somewhere
136
00:05:03,837 --> 00:05:05,070
wanna come in here and
137
00:05:05,072 --> 00:05:07,172
buy tanker truck loads of it.
138
00:05:07,174 --> 00:05:08,573
You could say,
"hey, look here
139
00:05:08,575 --> 00:05:11,410
what this water makes
when it comes to alcohol."
140
00:05:12,780 --> 00:05:13,845
well,
141
00:05:13,847 --> 00:05:15,213
you know,
I've always wondered,
142
00:05:15,215 --> 00:05:17,082
you know,
what else it could do.
143
00:05:18,118 --> 00:05:19,484
I think we could...
144
00:05:19,486 --> 00:05:21,687
I can allow you to make a--
maybe a small run.
145
00:05:21,689 --> 00:05:23,555
I don't need to know
anything about it.
146
00:05:23,557 --> 00:05:26,058
-Fair enough.
-If that's agreeable, then
the two of you--
147
00:05:26,060 --> 00:05:29,227
-that's very agreeable.
-Well, I'ma climb up on a rock
to shake your hand, my friend.
148
00:05:29,229 --> 00:05:30,495
I think that's, too...
149
00:05:30,497 --> 00:05:31,863
I think it's very kind of you.
150
00:05:31,865 --> 00:05:34,132
[digger] I can't remember when
I've been any more excited
151
00:05:34,134 --> 00:05:36,101
about making
one run of liquor.
152
00:05:36,103 --> 00:05:38,603
This is a dream come true
for this old boy.
153
00:05:38,605 --> 00:05:39,938
If you had told me no,
154
00:05:39,940 --> 00:05:41,006
I'd have been just as happy
going out here,
155
00:05:41,008 --> 00:05:42,140
because of what I got
to come look at.
156
00:05:42,142 --> 00:05:44,042
[john] well,
I appreciate that.
157
00:05:51,318 --> 00:05:53,485
[mike] it's cold and rainy.
He better hurry up.
158
00:05:54,121 --> 00:05:54,786
Sorry I'm late.
159
00:05:54,788 --> 00:05:56,555
I reckon so.
160
00:05:56,557 --> 00:05:59,858
[narrator] two counties south
across the state line,
161
00:05:59,860 --> 00:06:02,594
mike and jerry arrange
to meet a local farmer
162
00:06:02,596 --> 00:06:05,130
with a surplus of
in-season blueberries.
163
00:06:05,132 --> 00:06:07,199
-How y'all guys doing?
-[mike] what's happening,
man?
164
00:06:07,201 --> 00:06:08,934
Let's take a look
at these berries,
165
00:06:08,936 --> 00:06:10,669
see what kind of taste
we got in 'em.
166
00:06:10,671 --> 00:06:11,937
Check 'em out.
167
00:06:11,939 --> 00:06:13,505
You know, butch,
he's a local farmer,
168
00:06:13,507 --> 00:06:14,606
uh, a friend of ours,
169
00:06:14,608 --> 00:06:17,576
and he's got a crap ton
of them blueberries for us.
170
00:06:17,578 --> 00:06:19,177
[jerry] you know, I'm pretty
excited about making brandy.
171
00:06:19,179 --> 00:06:21,079
Especially in this
new still design we got.
172
00:06:21,081 --> 00:06:22,914
We're gonna be able
to make a small batch
173
00:06:22,916 --> 00:06:24,349
of high-quality shine
174
00:06:24,351 --> 00:06:26,885
with a charred oaky flavor
175
00:06:26,887 --> 00:06:28,019
like none other.
176
00:06:28,021 --> 00:06:30,055
[butch] they ought to
make y'all some fine brandy.
177
00:06:30,057 --> 00:06:31,757
[mike] butch loves
our moonshine.
178
00:06:31,759 --> 00:06:33,225
And he's always wanted
a blueberry brandy,
179
00:06:33,227 --> 00:06:34,993
so we're gonna do a trade.
180
00:06:34,995 --> 00:06:36,561
So, he gives us his product
181
00:06:36,563 --> 00:06:37,863
and we give him ours.
182
00:06:37,865 --> 00:06:39,364
Butch will get the first cut
of the run
183
00:06:39,366 --> 00:06:40,999
and we get the rest to sell.
184
00:06:41,001 --> 00:06:42,968
-Oh, my god!
-Ooh!
185
00:06:42,970 --> 00:06:45,170
The hell with liquor,
we're gonna make pies.
186
00:06:45,172 --> 00:06:46,738
Pies and pancakes.
187
00:06:46,740 --> 00:06:47,906
[mike] these blueberries
are fine, man.
188
00:06:47,908 --> 00:06:50,609
Big rabbiteye blueberries,
really sweet,
189
00:06:50,611 --> 00:06:53,378
and there's some mixed in,
it's got a little
tartness to 'em.
190
00:06:53,380 --> 00:06:55,647
Top-damn-shelf blueberries,
I can tell you that.
191
00:06:55,649 --> 00:06:57,549
And I believe this is gonna
make some good brandy.
192
00:06:57,551 --> 00:06:59,651
Seem to be good berries,
so I'm looking forward
193
00:06:59,653 --> 00:07:01,086
to a good high yield
off of 'em.
194
00:07:01,088 --> 00:07:03,822
They got plenty of sugar,
they should yield pretty good.
195
00:07:03,824 --> 00:07:05,223
Well, you're looking at
the two that can
make it for you
196
00:07:05,225 --> 00:07:06,725
and make it right.
197
00:07:06,727 --> 00:07:08,860
I hope so, blueberries
is prime right now.
198
00:07:08,862 --> 00:07:12,197
I'm looking at 750 a barrel,
$1,500.
199
00:07:12,199 --> 00:07:14,866
[jerry] we can give you
the first run off
of these blueberries.
200
00:07:14,868 --> 00:07:15,934
All we need is time.
201
00:07:15,936 --> 00:07:17,035
About how long?
202
00:07:17,070 --> 00:07:18,270
About a month.
203
00:07:18,272 --> 00:07:19,271
You're looking at
about a month.
204
00:07:19,740 --> 00:07:20,939
So, if you can wait on us,
205
00:07:20,941 --> 00:07:23,008
we'll put the best
blueberry brandy in your mouth
206
00:07:23,010 --> 00:07:24,075
you've ever had in your life.
207
00:07:24,077 --> 00:07:25,243
I promise you that.
208
00:07:26,447 --> 00:07:27,112
[butch] all right.
209
00:07:27,114 --> 00:07:28,914
-We got a deal.
-All right.
210
00:07:28,916 --> 00:07:30,315
I'll get the truck,
we'll load 'em up.
211
00:07:30,317 --> 00:07:31,383
Appreciate you, brother.
212
00:07:31,385 --> 00:07:33,051
With all these blueberries
that butch is given us,
213
00:07:33,053 --> 00:07:35,554
it ought to make several
damn runs of brandy.
214
00:07:35,556 --> 00:07:37,756
We've got a good deal
going on here.
215
00:07:37,758 --> 00:07:38,990
If we bought these
at a grocery store,
216
00:07:38,992 --> 00:07:41,460
we'd be out
thousands of dollars.
217
00:07:46,133 --> 00:07:48,700
[jerry] tell you what,
if this blueberry tastes
as good as that rye did,
218
00:07:48,702 --> 00:07:51,036
man, we got no trouble
getting rid of it.
219
00:07:51,038 --> 00:07:51,937
[mike] if this
blueberry brandy turns out
220
00:07:51,939 --> 00:07:53,171
the way I expect it to,
221
00:07:53,173 --> 00:07:55,774
me and jerry, we stand to make
a lot of damn money.
222
00:07:55,776 --> 00:07:58,076
But, we've never run any
brandy in this new rig.
223
00:07:58,078 --> 00:08:00,912
You never know how
a new recipe's gonna turn out
224
00:08:00,914 --> 00:08:02,247
till you taste it
out the money pot.
225
00:08:02,249 --> 00:08:04,115
You never know
what you gonna get.
226
00:08:04,117 --> 00:08:06,351
This might be
a bust or a fail.
227
00:08:06,353 --> 00:08:08,320
If butch don't take
this liquor for payment,
228
00:08:08,322 --> 00:08:09,554
we owe him some money,
229
00:08:09,556 --> 00:08:10,555
one way or another.
230
00:08:10,557 --> 00:08:12,457
We got us a few more barrels.
231
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,261
And, by god,
these things are heavy.
232
00:08:16,263 --> 00:08:18,763
Whoo, man you ready
to cut some holes?
233
00:08:18,765 --> 00:08:19,931
[jerry] let's do it to it.
234
00:08:19,933 --> 00:08:22,834
We're gonna mash inside
the actual pot itself,
235
00:08:22,836 --> 00:08:25,704
but, you know,
we've got 600 pounds
of blueberries here.
236
00:08:25,706 --> 00:08:26,671
If you don't hurry up
to get it
237
00:08:26,673 --> 00:08:28,240
fermenting the way
it needs to be,
238
00:08:28,242 --> 00:08:30,575
they'll spoil on you,
then you can't use 'em.
239
00:08:30,577 --> 00:08:31,977
These traditional barrels
240
00:08:31,979 --> 00:08:32,911
and some white oak
charred barrels,
241
00:08:32,913 --> 00:08:35,046
cut the lids out of 'em
and mash 'em in.
242
00:08:35,048 --> 00:08:38,850
It'll give the same concept
of what we're doing
in the pot itself.
243
00:08:38,852 --> 00:08:40,185
We gotta mash
these blueberries up,
244
00:08:40,187 --> 00:08:41,820
just like anything else.
245
00:08:41,822 --> 00:08:42,821
So, I've got a fruit press,
246
00:08:42,823 --> 00:08:43,855
a manual one.
247
00:08:43,857 --> 00:08:45,690
We'll just throw these
blueberries in there
248
00:08:45,692 --> 00:08:46,591
and turn the knob.
249
00:08:46,593 --> 00:08:48,360
Two different set
of gears in there
250
00:08:48,362 --> 00:08:50,161
that just sucks that fruit
down in there and crushes it,
251
00:08:50,163 --> 00:08:52,130
and throws it
right in the barrel for you.
252
00:08:52,132 --> 00:08:53,532
Then we can put
our hot water in on it
253
00:08:53,534 --> 00:08:55,100
and steep it in,
and it's good to go.
254
00:08:55,102 --> 00:08:56,568
And putting this on it
right here,
255
00:08:56,570 --> 00:08:57,969
we're gonna have something
256
00:08:58,372 --> 00:08:59,571
wrapped and ready.
257
00:08:59,573 --> 00:09:00,872
Ho-ho!
258
00:09:00,874 --> 00:09:04,743
That's gonna make some
blueberry kool-aid
right there, baby.
259
00:09:04,745 --> 00:09:05,944
When you mash in
a fruit mash,
260
00:09:05,946 --> 00:09:07,746
you turnin' it into
wine first.
261
00:09:07,748 --> 00:09:09,915
You distill it off
and make a brandy out of it.
262
00:09:09,917 --> 00:09:11,683
This is a little bit
longer process,
263
00:09:11,685 --> 00:09:12,951
but
264
00:09:12,953 --> 00:09:15,120
everybody in america
wants something different.
265
00:09:15,122 --> 00:09:18,557
All right, buddy, we'll get
this blueberried up and in.
266
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,125
They want something new.
267
00:09:20,127 --> 00:09:21,927
They love to see
the times change
268
00:09:21,929 --> 00:09:23,862
and that's what
me and jerry's doing now.
269
00:09:23,864 --> 00:09:25,864
Gonna be a lot of money, son,
if all this works out.
270
00:09:25,866 --> 00:09:27,632
Five barrels of mash
sitting here.
271
00:09:27,634 --> 00:09:29,935
-And after the rye run
that we made...
-Yeah.
272
00:09:29,937 --> 00:09:31,937
...And putting berries in
on top of that,
273
00:09:31,939 --> 00:09:34,039
man, it's gonna be good,
bubba.
274
00:09:34,041 --> 00:09:36,908
We put about 20 gallons
of blueberries per barrel.
275
00:09:36,910 --> 00:09:38,176
These white oak
charred barrels,
276
00:09:38,178 --> 00:09:40,278
it's gonna give
a really great
277
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,814
deep and bold flavor
to this mash.
278
00:09:42,816 --> 00:09:44,015
This is beautiful sight.
279
00:09:44,017 --> 00:09:46,351
It smells so good out here
in these woods,
280
00:09:46,353 --> 00:09:48,086
I believe it's gonna be
one of the best runs
281
00:09:48,088 --> 00:09:49,054
we've ever done.
282
00:09:49,089 --> 00:09:51,022
Hell yeah.
283
00:10:03,170 --> 00:10:05,236
What's in your other hand?
You ain't got nothing
in your other hand?
284
00:10:05,238 --> 00:10:07,172
[craig] yeah, both arms full.
285
00:10:07,174 --> 00:10:08,807
They might be
the two lightest things,
286
00:10:08,809 --> 00:10:10,609
but they're both full.
287
00:10:10,611 --> 00:10:13,878
[narrator] three states away
on the louisiana bayou,
288
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,182
opportunity is knocking for
richard and his brother craig,
289
00:10:17,184 --> 00:10:20,251
if they can produce
an authentic absinthe recipe
290
00:10:20,253 --> 00:10:22,921
for a discerning new orleans
bar owner.
291
00:10:22,923 --> 00:10:25,090
I got the magic potion
right here, man.
292
00:10:25,092 --> 00:10:26,791
Let me see what
that smells like.
293
00:10:26,793 --> 00:10:28,093
-Oh, yeah.
-Yeah.
294
00:10:28,095 --> 00:10:30,528
-It hit me
straight off the lid.
-Whoa.
295
00:10:31,832 --> 00:10:34,866
Making this absinthe has been
a multistep process.
296
00:10:34,868 --> 00:10:36,968
We started with 30 gallons
of basic sugar wash.
297
00:10:36,970 --> 00:10:38,269
We ran that through our still
298
00:10:38,271 --> 00:10:40,972
and got three gallons
of high-proof neutral spirit.
299
00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:43,408
Then we had to mix in
about a dozen different herbs.
300
00:10:43,977 --> 00:10:45,076
It's green now.
301
00:10:45,078 --> 00:10:47,145
When it comes out that pot,
it won't be.
302
00:10:47,147 --> 00:10:48,380
Yeah, it'll be clear.
303
00:10:48,382 --> 00:10:51,249
Today, we're gonna put it back
into the still, run it again.
304
00:10:51,251 --> 00:10:52,217
That's gonna come down to
305
00:10:52,219 --> 00:10:55,954
one gallon of a very,
very nice white absinthe.
306
00:10:55,956 --> 00:10:57,989
And then, we're gonna take
that white absinthe,
307
00:10:57,991 --> 00:11:01,126
and we're gonna turn it
into a green absinthe.
308
00:11:01,128 --> 00:11:03,228
This is a lot
of substance in...
309
00:11:03,597 --> 00:11:04,696
This right here.
310
00:11:04,698 --> 00:11:06,898
This is a lot of work for
one gallon of product,
311
00:11:06,900 --> 00:11:09,134
but this is a real big
investment into our future.
312
00:11:09,136 --> 00:11:11,302
Our buyer wants to pay $250
313
00:11:11,304 --> 00:11:12,904
for this one gallon
of absinthe.
314
00:11:12,906 --> 00:11:14,939
But if we can impress him
with this product,
315
00:11:14,941 --> 00:11:17,208
there's no telling
how much money we can make.
316
00:11:17,210 --> 00:11:18,276
[craig] you don't wanna
strain it?
317
00:11:18,278 --> 00:11:19,244
No, no straining.
318
00:11:19,246 --> 00:11:21,012
We're putting all this
in the pot.
319
00:11:22,883 --> 00:11:24,382
Most of the time,
we would strain.
320
00:11:24,384 --> 00:11:25,784
But in a situation like this,
321
00:11:25,786 --> 00:11:26,985
we need the oils
322
00:11:26,987 --> 00:11:29,054
and we need the fragrances
and the taste profiles
323
00:11:29,056 --> 00:11:30,622
that come out from
being in there.
324
00:11:30,624 --> 00:11:32,957
Can't waste any of this, man.
This is precious.
325
00:11:32,959 --> 00:11:36,294
This guy that we're selling
this to is a true absinthian.
326
00:11:36,296 --> 00:11:38,263
We wanna make sure that
it's right when they get it.
327
00:11:38,265 --> 00:11:40,398
All we gotta do is
get some water in here.
328
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:41,299
That water is gonna help
329
00:11:41,301 --> 00:11:43,868
carry over some
of the essential oils
330
00:11:43,870 --> 00:11:45,970
and flavors into our absinthe.
331
00:11:45,972 --> 00:11:47,806
[craig] all the botanicals,
you're not worried about
332
00:11:47,808 --> 00:11:49,007
scorching the pot?
333
00:11:49,009 --> 00:11:51,943
A little bit, but
we're about to get a stick.
334
00:11:51,945 --> 00:11:53,044
We just gotta stir it
in the beginning,
335
00:11:53,046 --> 00:11:55,146
make sure it doesn't stick
to the bottom of the pot.
336
00:11:55,148 --> 00:11:57,248
I'm gonna start
setting stuff up for you.
337
00:11:58,518 --> 00:12:00,919
Man, this actually
smells delicious.
338
00:12:00,921 --> 00:12:03,688
If this absinthe tastes
anything like it smells,
339
00:12:03,690 --> 00:12:06,324
man, we are in the green.
340
00:12:06,326 --> 00:12:09,127
My instincts are telling me
we can cap this thing off.
341
00:12:09,129 --> 00:12:10,295
-That's hot.
-It's hot.
342
00:12:10,297 --> 00:12:12,297
I can't wait for this...
343
00:12:12,966 --> 00:12:14,933
To come out of there.
344
00:12:14,935 --> 00:12:16,434
And we can put it in, uh...
345
00:12:17,270 --> 00:12:18,236
Here.
346
00:12:18,238 --> 00:12:20,338
Which is where
it's supposed to be.
347
00:12:31,051 --> 00:12:32,083
[mark] you ready to get busy?
348
00:12:32,085 --> 00:12:33,685
[digger] we gotta get with it.
349
00:12:33,687 --> 00:12:35,987
[mark] we need to pick us out
a spot first, don't we?
350
00:12:35,989 --> 00:12:38,790
Check out and see where
exactly we want to set up.
351
00:12:38,792 --> 00:12:40,592
You know, we got permission
from john
352
00:12:40,594 --> 00:12:42,560
to do a run at
his spring site.
353
00:12:42,562 --> 00:12:45,063
Right there looks like
it's got the best ground
right now.
354
00:12:45,065 --> 00:12:46,898
We're gonna mash in today
355
00:12:46,900 --> 00:12:50,235
and try to replicate our
tennessee whiskey recipe
356
00:12:50,237 --> 00:12:52,537
using english mountain
spring water.
357
00:12:52,539 --> 00:12:54,672
I mean, honestly,
if this turns out
358
00:12:54,674 --> 00:12:56,841
a very good,
exceptional product,
359
00:12:56,843 --> 00:12:58,676
then we gotta
figure out a way
360
00:12:58,678 --> 00:13:01,546
how to get access to
this water all the time.
361
00:13:06,186 --> 00:13:08,486
[digger]
hang on, I'm gonna hook
that other one up to it.
362
00:13:09,289 --> 00:13:10,955
We got permission to run here
363
00:13:10,957 --> 00:13:12,557
at english mountain spring
364
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,259
for an experimental run.
365
00:13:14,261 --> 00:13:15,293
What do you reckon?
366
00:13:15,295 --> 00:13:17,328
He didn't understand about...
367
00:13:18,131 --> 00:13:19,531
"hold on, I was gonna connect
368
00:13:19,533 --> 00:13:21,166
the second hose to it."
369
00:13:22,035 --> 00:13:23,968
damn it.
370
00:13:23,970 --> 00:13:26,838
[digger] hell,
before I get close and
he's yanks on it again.
371
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:27,972
If you don't slow down,
372
00:13:27,974 --> 00:13:29,007
we ain't gonna
have enough hose.
373
00:13:29,009 --> 00:13:31,442
We're no strangers
to wet, muddier
374
00:13:32,179 --> 00:13:33,745
tiresome working conditions.
375
00:13:33,747 --> 00:13:36,481
I don't mind, but I'm not
a spring chicken anymore.
376
00:13:36,483 --> 00:13:38,917
And a damn hose,
if anything can hook,
377
00:13:38,919 --> 00:13:41,085
hang, tangle, it will.
378
00:13:41,087 --> 00:13:42,053
You got water?
379
00:13:42,055 --> 00:13:43,588
[digger] it's a-coming.
380
00:13:43,590 --> 00:13:46,124
[mark] don't tug on it none.
I hope you got all you need.
381
00:13:46,126 --> 00:13:47,926
[digger] that's about
a full stream right there.
382
00:13:47,928 --> 00:13:49,460
Let's get a-something
a-cookin'.
383
00:13:51,131 --> 00:13:53,064
It's a slow stream,
but it's steady.
384
00:13:53,066 --> 00:13:54,632
[digger] you know,
any old-timer
385
00:13:54,634 --> 00:13:57,235
that's been involved
in this craft will tell you
386
00:13:57,237 --> 00:13:59,871
that water's the most
important ingredient.
387
00:13:59,873 --> 00:14:01,072
You don't have good water,
388
00:14:01,074 --> 00:14:02,073
you ain't gonna
make good liquor.
389
00:14:02,075 --> 00:14:03,942
John's doing us a solid,
though,
390
00:14:03,944 --> 00:14:05,176
by letting us
make this run here.
391
00:14:05,178 --> 00:14:06,211
You ain't just a-kiddin'.
392
00:14:06,213 --> 00:14:07,679
Anything that man asks for,
393
00:14:07,681 --> 00:14:10,882
shy of hiding a body,
we need to do it.
394
00:14:10,884 --> 00:14:13,017
Time to get my grain
measured out.
395
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,019
This holds two pounds,
396
00:14:15,021 --> 00:14:18,022
so I just have to keep track
of how many I dump in there.
397
00:14:18,758 --> 00:14:20,658
We're gonna use
the same grain bill,
398
00:14:20,660 --> 00:14:22,560
of the barely, corn and rye.
399
00:14:22,562 --> 00:14:25,530
The water is gonna make
a huge difference in this.
400
00:14:25,532 --> 00:14:27,599
This water has
been scrutinized
401
00:14:27,601 --> 00:14:28,833
by the best in the business,
402
00:14:28,835 --> 00:14:31,069
and it has been declared
the best water in the world.
403
00:14:31,071 --> 00:14:32,904
It's good water,
it'll make good liquor.
404
00:14:32,906 --> 00:14:35,840
But how good
is what we've gotta find out.
405
00:14:35,842 --> 00:14:37,942
Now if you'll get busy
stirring that,
406
00:14:37,944 --> 00:14:40,111
I'll get us another pot going.
407
00:14:40,113 --> 00:14:42,780
[mark] the goal here is
to produce good liquor,
408
00:14:42,782 --> 00:14:44,649
so, you know,
that's all we wish for.
409
00:14:44,651 --> 00:14:46,117
We're not wishing
for miracles,
410
00:14:46,119 --> 00:14:48,219
we simply want to
make a good product
411
00:14:48,221 --> 00:14:50,889
with the ingredients
that we're working with.
412
00:14:50,891 --> 00:14:52,156
All right, you ready?
413
00:14:52,158 --> 00:14:53,424
[digger counts in spanish]
414
00:14:54,060 --> 00:14:55,093
[grunts]
415
00:14:55,095 --> 00:14:58,129
john, gave me
a copy of his water analysis
416
00:14:58,131 --> 00:14:59,330
for the mineral content.
417
00:14:59,366 --> 00:15:02,166
And, honestly, it's better
than that spring in town.
418
00:15:02,168 --> 00:15:05,169
Right here is
one of the best still sites
that could ever be.
419
00:15:05,171 --> 00:15:07,238
Let me make motion here
on something.
420
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:08,239
Making a motion.
421
00:15:08,241 --> 00:15:10,541
Maybe for
future endeavors,
422
00:15:11,177 --> 00:15:12,277
however much this makes us,
423
00:15:12,279 --> 00:15:13,912
let's just give it all
to john.
424
00:15:13,914 --> 00:15:15,113
[digger] I'm all for it.
425
00:15:15,115 --> 00:15:16,881
He might look at us
in a different light
426
00:15:16,883 --> 00:15:19,651
if he likes it really good.
427
00:15:19,653 --> 00:15:21,986
You know, we're having
a lot of conversations about,
428
00:15:21,988 --> 00:15:24,956
if it's good, how are we gonna
approach john about
429
00:15:24,958 --> 00:15:27,091
maybe staying here or
what we're gonna do to
430
00:15:27,093 --> 00:15:28,760
continue using this water.
431
00:15:28,762 --> 00:15:31,195
There's a lot of questions
running through our mind.
432
00:15:31,197 --> 00:15:33,131
You know, it maybe
a good opportunity
433
00:15:33,133 --> 00:15:35,266
for john to expand
and, bully for him,
434
00:15:35,268 --> 00:15:37,035
-I'm all for that exactly.
-If we can.
435
00:15:37,037 --> 00:15:39,570
[digger] if this lives up
to our expectations,
436
00:15:39,572 --> 00:15:42,106
then he's gonna have
something to brag on.
437
00:15:42,108 --> 00:15:42,941
Sure he does.
438
00:15:42,943 --> 00:15:43,808
John's a business man
439
00:15:43,810 --> 00:15:45,743
and he's a sharp
business man at that.
440
00:15:45,745 --> 00:15:48,112
There's a demand
for limestone water,
441
00:15:48,114 --> 00:15:50,615
and I'm sure he thinks,
"well, maybe
442
00:15:50,617 --> 00:15:52,917
we can go further here
443
00:15:52,919 --> 00:15:56,187
and maybe I can start
selling this to distilleries."
444
00:15:56,189 --> 00:15:58,189
I'm ready to dump some of
this yeast in there.
445
00:15:58,191 --> 00:15:59,958
Well, you know,
as it stands,
446
00:15:59,960 --> 00:16:02,160
if this makes the best
tennessee whiskey
447
00:16:02,162 --> 00:16:03,962
that's ever been seen,
448
00:16:04,130 --> 00:16:05,630
then that's another dilemma.
449
00:16:05,632 --> 00:16:07,098
We ain't gonna need
this stuff no more.
450
00:16:07,100 --> 00:16:08,900
-No, we can load it up.
-Let's take it home.
451
00:16:08,902 --> 00:16:12,136
We're not guaranteed
access beyond this run.
452
00:16:12,138 --> 00:16:14,706
But, maybe if john
tastes this
and sees how good it is,
453
00:16:14,708 --> 00:16:17,809
maybe he'll let us continue
on working right here.
454
00:16:17,811 --> 00:16:18,776
[digger] I'll see you
in the morning.
455
00:16:18,778 --> 00:16:20,178
[mark] all right.
456
00:16:28,755 --> 00:16:31,222
[richard] it's coming
in the worm, buddy.
It's in the worm.
457
00:16:32,058 --> 00:16:33,057
[craig] how we looking?
458
00:16:33,059 --> 00:16:34,592
-Where is the coon pecker?
-Here we go.
459
00:16:34,594 --> 00:16:35,760
Boy, we're dripping, too.
460
00:16:35,762 --> 00:16:38,629
-[craig] there we go,
our first drips.
-Looking good.
461
00:16:38,631 --> 00:16:40,264
We're out here running
our white absinthe
462
00:16:40,266 --> 00:16:42,200
and we're hoping to
knock it out of the park.
463
00:16:44,270 --> 00:16:46,771
Oh, I'll be damned.
464
00:16:46,773 --> 00:16:48,206
That's a good shine.
465
00:16:50,110 --> 00:16:51,542
[craig]
when it starts flowing,
466
00:16:51,544 --> 00:16:53,177
I'm blown away.
467
00:16:53,179 --> 00:16:55,813
I could not believe
468
00:16:55,815 --> 00:16:58,383
all the flavors
that carried over.
469
00:16:58,385 --> 00:16:59,984
That's pretty damn good.
470
00:17:00,020 --> 00:17:00,718
Man.
471
00:17:00,987 --> 00:17:02,153
This ought to be
against the law.
472
00:17:02,155 --> 00:17:03,988
It is against the law.
473
00:17:03,990 --> 00:17:05,823
This is awesome,
we could deal with this.
474
00:17:05,825 --> 00:17:07,825
I'll drink to that, damn it.
475
00:17:07,827 --> 00:17:10,194
We drink to anything
that is good and positive.
476
00:17:10,196 --> 00:17:11,863
This is absinthe
477
00:17:11,865 --> 00:17:14,165
and this is only
one part of it.
478
00:17:14,167 --> 00:17:15,733
Now that we have
our white absinthe,
479
00:17:15,735 --> 00:17:17,402
we have to turn it green
by infusing it.
480
00:17:17,404 --> 00:17:19,303
We have to be
really, really careful.
481
00:17:19,305 --> 00:17:21,139
We need to get
our color and flavors
482
00:17:21,141 --> 00:17:22,573
perfect on this one.
483
00:17:22,575 --> 00:17:24,242
But we don't have
a lot of alcohol to work with.
484
00:17:24,244 --> 00:17:26,044
So, we're gonna do this
in small quantities
485
00:17:26,046 --> 00:17:27,311
to make sure we get it right.
486
00:17:27,313 --> 00:17:28,780
If we make a mistake on this,
487
00:17:28,782 --> 00:17:30,181
we'll ruin the whole batch.
488
00:17:30,183 --> 00:17:31,549
You got some more lemon balm?
489
00:17:31,551 --> 00:17:32,283
[craig] I got some more.
490
00:17:32,285 --> 00:17:33,985
Now, this is the...
491
00:17:34,921 --> 00:17:36,954
...The raw stuff right here.
492
00:17:36,956 --> 00:17:38,923
I want you to gimme
some of that spearmint.
493
00:17:38,925 --> 00:17:40,758
As if the work wasn't
hard enough already,
494
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,560
now we have to balance flavors
495
00:17:42,562 --> 00:17:44,295
and make sure
that we turn this green,
496
00:17:44,297 --> 00:17:46,130
and make sure
that the end result
497
00:17:46,132 --> 00:17:47,331
is a proper louche.
498
00:17:47,333 --> 00:17:50,368
A louche is when you introduce
499
00:17:50,370 --> 00:17:52,804
cold water into absinthe.
500
00:17:52,806 --> 00:17:54,105
It turns kind of
501
00:17:54,107 --> 00:17:56,240
a cloudy opal
502
00:17:56,242 --> 00:17:58,076
greenish color.
503
00:17:58,078 --> 00:17:59,077
That looks pretty good.
504
00:17:59,079 --> 00:18:00,144
Wormwood
505
00:18:01,047 --> 00:18:02,914
with the lemon balm.
506
00:18:02,916 --> 00:18:05,183
We're using herbs that
we already have as flavor
507
00:18:05,185 --> 00:18:06,818
in our drink already.
508
00:18:06,820 --> 00:18:07,919
I'm gonna do hyssop.
509
00:18:07,921 --> 00:18:09,087
There's a balance here
510
00:18:09,089 --> 00:18:10,221
that we're gonna have
to accomplish
511
00:18:10,223 --> 00:18:12,056
between color and flavor.
512
00:18:12,058 --> 00:18:14,125
We don't wanna
overpower our absinthe
513
00:18:14,127 --> 00:18:16,094
with something
that's already there.
514
00:18:16,096 --> 00:18:18,129
That's a nice
pretty green color.
515
00:18:22,869 --> 00:18:24,068
You know what?
516
00:18:24,070 --> 00:18:25,169
This [bleep] is good.
517
00:18:25,171 --> 00:18:27,305
This is this.
518
00:18:27,307 --> 00:18:28,139
It is? Let me see.
519
00:18:28,141 --> 00:18:29,540
I swear it is.
520
00:18:30,276 --> 00:18:32,176
There's no change
in the taste.
521
00:18:32,545 --> 00:18:34,245
None, it's only green.
522
00:18:34,781 --> 00:18:35,379
Wow!
523
00:18:35,381 --> 00:18:36,080
And look at it green.
524
00:18:36,082 --> 00:18:38,316
This might be it, craig.
525
00:18:38,318 --> 00:18:40,852
We're gonna see if we can get
a louche with this thing, man.
526
00:18:40,854 --> 00:18:41,919
That's a good idea.
527
00:18:41,921 --> 00:18:42,887
The flavor's perfect,
528
00:18:42,889 --> 00:18:44,188
the color's perfect,
529
00:18:44,190 --> 00:18:46,991
but if this absinthe
doesn't louche properly,
530
00:18:46,993 --> 00:18:48,893
it's not a true absinthe.
531
00:18:48,895 --> 00:18:51,162
When you add cold water
into this drink,
532
00:18:51,164 --> 00:18:52,763
the water causes
a chemical reaction
533
00:18:52,765 --> 00:18:53,965
that releases the oils.
534
00:18:53,967 --> 00:18:56,367
The oils bounce around
at the bottom of the glass.
535
00:18:56,369 --> 00:18:57,935
Kinda reminiscent of
the little fairy,
536
00:18:57,937 --> 00:18:58,836
the green fairy.
537
00:18:58,838 --> 00:19:00,538
That's what
a proper louche is.
538
00:19:00,540 --> 00:19:02,840
That's what a proper absinthe
will give you.
539
00:19:02,842 --> 00:19:04,942
We're gonna just
see if it works.
540
00:19:04,944 --> 00:19:07,311
-Ooh, look at that.
-[craig] oh, yes.
541
00:19:07,313 --> 00:19:09,213
Wowie!
542
00:19:09,682 --> 00:19:10,815
[richard] look at that.
543
00:19:10,817 --> 00:19:14,152
This is what
it was supposed to do!
544
00:19:15,088 --> 00:19:16,821
Tell me what it tastes like.
545
00:19:16,823 --> 00:19:19,390
Oh, I can drink this
without burning.
546
00:19:19,392 --> 00:19:21,325
Little slight bitterness,
547
00:19:21,861 --> 00:19:23,027
slight spiciness,
548
00:19:23,029 --> 00:19:24,328
slight liquorish
549
00:19:24,898 --> 00:19:27,198
and my friend, mr. Fennel,
550
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,066
comes through in the middle.
551
00:19:29,269 --> 00:19:31,202
Man, this is so awesome.
552
00:19:31,204 --> 00:19:32,837
It tastes real complex.
553
00:19:32,839 --> 00:19:34,172
I actually made a drink
554
00:19:34,174 --> 00:19:36,941
that I can taste five
different flavor profiles in.
555
00:19:36,943 --> 00:19:37,875
All right, we got it.
556
00:19:37,877 --> 00:19:38,876
This is the verdict.
557
00:19:38,878 --> 00:19:41,045
Gotta get a good
gallon of that going
558
00:19:41,047 --> 00:19:42,246
and bring it to the man.
559
00:19:42,248 --> 00:19:43,548
And collect the l'argent.
560
00:19:43,550 --> 00:19:45,082
Give me my money.
561
00:19:45,084 --> 00:19:46,317
[craig] I'll drink to that.
562
00:19:55,762 --> 00:19:58,162
Just gonna check this, man.
Make sure it's ready to roll.
563
00:19:58,164 --> 00:20:00,097
Yeah, our blueberry mash
has been working off
564
00:20:00,099 --> 00:20:01,365
for a couple of weeks now.
565
00:20:01,367 --> 00:20:02,533
It's time to run this stuff
566
00:20:02,535 --> 00:20:04,235
and see what
it's gonna taste like.
567
00:20:05,071 --> 00:20:06,037
I can drink that
just like that, hey.
568
00:20:06,039 --> 00:20:08,172
That's damn good, son.
569
00:20:08,174 --> 00:20:10,841
We're running our fingers
down in there
and tasting this mash,
570
00:20:10,843 --> 00:20:12,310
it's phenomenal.
571
00:20:12,312 --> 00:20:15,313
That can be strained out
of them barrels
and bottled right now.
572
00:20:15,315 --> 00:20:17,081
You can taste the char
573
00:20:17,083 --> 00:20:18,216
from the barrel.
574
00:20:18,218 --> 00:20:19,550
The whole nine yards.
575
00:20:19,552 --> 00:20:21,085
If we can get half
of this taste
576
00:20:21,087 --> 00:20:22,687
out the other end of the worm,
577
00:20:22,689 --> 00:20:24,055
we gonna be on to something.
578
00:20:24,057 --> 00:20:25,890
All right, man, if you wanna
start kind of seeing
579
00:20:25,892 --> 00:20:26,958
if you can get a fire started,
580
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,893
I'm gonna get this thing
capped off and connected up.
581
00:20:28,895 --> 00:20:30,194
[mike] all righty.
582
00:20:30,196 --> 00:20:32,129
The unique thing
about our setup,
583
00:20:32,131 --> 00:20:35,933
it's going out of a white oak
american charred barrel,
584
00:20:35,935 --> 00:20:37,735
fusing that flavor in lightly
585
00:20:37,737 --> 00:20:39,370
through a clear brandy.
586
00:20:39,372 --> 00:20:40,972
Well, you know,
the big question is
587
00:20:40,974 --> 00:20:41,973
if it's gonna work.
588
00:20:41,975 --> 00:20:43,241
We'll soon find out.
589
00:20:43,243 --> 00:20:44,575
Get her fired up.
590
00:20:46,379 --> 00:20:47,979
We're smoking a little.
591
00:20:48,214 --> 00:20:49,280
Damn it.
592
00:20:50,216 --> 00:20:51,949
It's so wet, man.
593
00:20:52,919 --> 00:20:54,852
That's why it won't light.
594
00:20:54,854 --> 00:20:56,254
I'm sick and tired
of trying to make
595
00:20:56,256 --> 00:20:58,155
wet wood burn in
this damn thing.
596
00:20:58,157 --> 00:20:59,257
You know, the whole idea is
597
00:20:59,292 --> 00:21:01,292
that we didn't have to
pay for fuel this season.
598
00:21:01,294 --> 00:21:02,960
We've got to come up
with something
599
00:21:02,962 --> 00:21:04,295
more consistent than this,
man.
600
00:21:04,297 --> 00:21:06,063
-We've got too much
blueberry mash sitting here...
-Oh, I get it.
601
00:21:06,065 --> 00:21:07,064
...To run. Five barrels.
602
00:21:07,066 --> 00:21:08,532
-I agree.
-You know.
603
00:21:08,534 --> 00:21:10,067
Especially when we're
running this slow.
604
00:21:10,069 --> 00:21:12,903
I mean,
wonder what could we do
to make it burn consistent.
605
00:21:12,905 --> 00:21:14,772
Well, we just need
a different fuel source.
606
00:21:14,774 --> 00:21:17,141
So, it's got to be either like
charcoal pallets or something.
607
00:21:17,143 --> 00:21:19,844
-They use wood pellets
on a lot of wood stoves now.
-Hmm.
608
00:21:19,846 --> 00:21:21,946
That'd definitely be
a good consistent heat.
609
00:21:21,948 --> 00:21:24,949
All we just need is a little
catch basket to be able to
610
00:21:24,951 --> 00:21:27,251
hold 'em in place 'cause
I can't lay on the bottom.
611
00:21:27,253 --> 00:21:28,853
We pile up,
it'll block our oxygen,
612
00:21:28,855 --> 00:21:30,121
-and it won't burn, so...
-It won't burn.
613
00:21:30,123 --> 00:21:31,656
So we gotta hold
them up a little bit.
614
00:21:31,658 --> 00:21:33,190
If you'll manage right here,
615
00:21:33,192 --> 00:21:34,525
I'll run down here to
the store real quick,
616
00:21:34,527 --> 00:21:35,426
little hardware store.
617
00:21:35,428 --> 00:21:36,994
Try to keep
this damn thing burning.
618
00:21:36,996 --> 00:21:39,997
What me and jerry's thinking,
maybe to go to pellets.
619
00:21:39,999 --> 00:21:42,900
Something that's already been
treated and dried out.
620
00:21:42,902 --> 00:21:44,235
-I'll be right back.
-All right.
621
00:21:44,237 --> 00:21:47,071
Something that'll burn
real hot and clean.
622
00:21:59,919 --> 00:22:02,353
Looks like today
may be the day, puss.
623
00:22:02,355 --> 00:22:05,022
Right here's where
the rubber meets the road.
624
00:22:05,024 --> 00:22:05,956
[both slurping]
625
00:22:05,992 --> 00:22:06,891
ooh!
626
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:08,526
-It's bitter.
-[digger] got some octane.
627
00:22:08,528 --> 00:22:09,694
I believe it do.
628
00:22:09,696 --> 00:22:10,928
[digger] we're gonna
run this mash
629
00:22:10,930 --> 00:22:13,030
that's made out of
english mountain spring water.
630
00:22:13,032 --> 00:22:14,899
We're gonna see
if it does, in fact,
631
00:22:14,901 --> 00:22:17,268
make as good liquor
as we think it's going to.
632
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,473
Just jump up on it,
there you go.
633
00:22:23,776 --> 00:22:25,843
Careful, we don't want it to
go to the center of the earth.
634
00:22:25,845 --> 00:22:27,878
We've got a brand-new still,
635
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,747
and this one,
it was custom built
636
00:22:29,749 --> 00:22:30,815
by a friend of ours.
637
00:22:30,817 --> 00:22:33,084
It's a primo little
piece of equipment
638
00:22:33,086 --> 00:22:36,020
and I'm excited about
putting it to work.
639
00:22:36,022 --> 00:22:37,521
It requires no paste.
640
00:22:37,523 --> 00:22:41,058
It has tri clamp fitting
with neoprene gaskets.
641
00:22:41,060 --> 00:22:44,195
We have access to the thumper
inside should we need it.
642
00:22:44,197 --> 00:22:46,931
It's a state of the art
little still.
643
00:22:46,933 --> 00:22:48,799
[digger] I'm just gonna put
these down here.
644
00:22:48,801 --> 00:22:50,534
Let's see what that gets us.
645
00:22:50,536 --> 00:22:52,737
You'd think, because
we're out in the woods,
646
00:22:52,739 --> 00:22:55,039
we're just slap-happy
willy-nilly. No, we're not.
647
00:22:55,041 --> 00:22:57,241
We're gonna take
all the pains we need to
648
00:22:57,243 --> 00:22:59,944
to make sure we've got
zero solids in this pot.
649
00:22:59,946 --> 00:23:01,212
We want nothing to scorch
650
00:23:01,214 --> 00:23:03,714
that would offer any
off-flavors to our run.
651
00:23:03,716 --> 00:23:05,082
I'm a-hopin'...
652
00:23:05,084 --> 00:23:07,852
That this tastes as good,
if not better
653
00:23:07,854 --> 00:23:09,854
than what we made there
at the spring in town.
654
00:23:09,856 --> 00:23:12,890
We want nothing
to get between us
655
00:23:12,892 --> 00:23:15,393
and what we want to see
at the end of this run.
656
00:23:18,030 --> 00:23:21,232
This thing should
take off pretty quick.
657
00:23:21,234 --> 00:23:23,000
But you're gonna have to
do something about that hat,
658
00:23:23,002 --> 00:23:24,268
it's growing damn
canker in it.
659
00:23:24,270 --> 00:23:26,036
That black mold's
growing right there.
660
00:23:26,038 --> 00:23:27,138
[mark] oh, that ain't
black mold,
661
00:23:27,140 --> 00:23:30,141
that's lard and [bleep] off
my fingers.
662
00:23:30,143 --> 00:23:32,042
That's what feeding that mold.
663
00:23:32,545 --> 00:23:35,045
Man, there's another story.
664
00:23:35,047 --> 00:23:36,113
[digger] we're getting...
665
00:23:36,549 --> 00:23:37,982
...Hot here.
666
00:23:38,551 --> 00:23:40,017
Oh, hell yeah, boy!
667
00:23:40,019 --> 00:23:41,819
We better get us a catch jug.
668
00:23:41,821 --> 00:23:44,088
We only have permission
to do one run here.
669
00:23:44,090 --> 00:23:46,657
It's a catch-22.
If this is really good liquor,
670
00:23:46,659 --> 00:23:47,958
we may have a problem,
671
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:49,093
we're not allowed
to stay here.
672
00:23:49,095 --> 00:23:50,895
If it isn't as good
673
00:23:50,897 --> 00:23:52,029
as what we've been running,
674
00:23:52,031 --> 00:23:53,998
where do we go from here?
675
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,933
[digger] we gotta
catch heads here.
676
00:23:55,935 --> 00:23:57,067
[mark] there we go, heady.
677
00:23:57,069 --> 00:23:59,937
English mountain spring water
tennessee whi'key.
678
00:23:59,939 --> 00:24:01,071
[digger] well, you know,
it's the way
679
00:24:01,073 --> 00:24:03,174
tennessee whiskey's
supposed to be made.
680
00:24:03,176 --> 00:24:04,542
-In tennessee.
-In tennessee.
681
00:24:16,989 --> 00:24:18,722
That ain't nothing but fine.
682
00:24:18,724 --> 00:24:21,959
Boy, it's good though.
Damn, it's just perfect.
683
00:24:21,961 --> 00:24:23,894
Liquor that good
will mess you up.
684
00:24:23,896 --> 00:24:26,664
Oh, my god!
Can you imagine when it
comes out of the barrel?
685
00:24:26,666 --> 00:24:29,200
[digger] this liquor
is outstanding.
686
00:24:29,202 --> 00:24:31,836
It's better.
It's got a sweeter note.
687
00:24:31,838 --> 00:24:34,205
Everything comes across
well in the palate.
688
00:24:34,207 --> 00:24:36,073
It's a shame that
we can't set up here
689
00:24:36,075 --> 00:24:37,842
and just make camp right here
690
00:24:37,844 --> 00:24:39,176
and work for
a couple of years.
691
00:24:39,178 --> 00:24:42,012
This is the water source
692
00:24:42,014 --> 00:24:43,247
for tennessee whiskey.
693
00:24:43,249 --> 00:24:45,082
I won't ever
694
00:24:45,084 --> 00:24:47,084
miss that water
in town again...
695
00:24:47,086 --> 00:24:49,987
-No.
-...If we can have this water.
696
00:24:49,989 --> 00:24:52,723
[mark] I think it's
better than
what we've been making.
697
00:24:52,725 --> 00:24:55,092
It's dandy, dandy liquor.
698
00:24:55,094 --> 00:24:57,561
This is where our problem
just begins.
699
00:24:57,563 --> 00:24:59,964
Now, we have got to find a way
700
00:24:59,966 --> 00:25:01,765
to get permanent access
701
00:25:01,767 --> 00:25:02,666
to this water.
702
00:25:02,668 --> 00:25:05,035
This is a dilemma for us bad.
703
00:25:05,037 --> 00:25:06,770
[digger] if he loves it,
then we're in business,
704
00:25:06,772 --> 00:25:08,239
he'll want more of it.
705
00:25:19,218 --> 00:25:21,252
[richard] come see.
This is what
we got to do real quick.
706
00:25:21,254 --> 00:25:22,152
What you got?
707
00:25:22,154 --> 00:25:24,088
And don't laugh at
how I draw.
708
00:25:24,090 --> 00:25:25,689
This is that fountain.
709
00:25:25,691 --> 00:25:28,058
Absinthe has a bit of
a ceremony to it.
710
00:25:28,060 --> 00:25:30,027
It starts by
dripping cold water
711
00:25:30,029 --> 00:25:31,328
into the liquid.
712
00:25:31,330 --> 00:25:33,764
This process is
called a louche.
713
00:25:33,766 --> 00:25:34,899
I'ma gonna call tim, man.
714
00:25:34,901 --> 00:25:37,268
I mean, he helped us out
on our first deal.
715
00:25:37,270 --> 00:25:39,069
-He helped us out on
everything...
-Oh, man, everything.
716
00:25:39,071 --> 00:25:40,271
...And everything else.
717
00:25:40,273 --> 00:25:41,739
We're gonna build
an absinthe fountain.
718
00:25:41,741 --> 00:25:43,908
Drinking absinthe is
a whole ritual,
719
00:25:43,910 --> 00:25:46,176
and the fountain is
the center of it.
720
00:25:46,178 --> 00:25:47,144
[tim on phone] hello.
721
00:25:47,146 --> 00:25:48,913
Tim, are you in town?
722
00:25:48,948 --> 00:25:50,314
Yeah.
723
00:25:50,316 --> 00:25:52,016
I need some help. You think
you can give me a hand?
724
00:25:52,318 --> 00:25:53,150
All right.
725
00:25:53,152 --> 00:25:54,718
All right, I'll see you then.
726
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,820
I wanna build
an absinthe fountain because
727
00:25:56,822 --> 00:25:59,990
I wanna present this product
the proper way.
728
00:25:59,992 --> 00:26:02,026
[narrator] at the peak of
absinthe's popularity
729
00:26:02,028 --> 00:26:04,028
in the late 1800s,
730
00:26:04,030 --> 00:26:06,897
european bars and cafes
developed tools
731
00:26:06,899 --> 00:26:08,999
known as absinthiana
732
00:26:09,001 --> 00:26:11,168
to enhance
the drinking experience.
733
00:26:11,170 --> 00:26:13,871
The most important was
the absinthe fountain,
734
00:26:13,873 --> 00:26:16,140
used to slowly drip ice water
735
00:26:16,142 --> 00:26:18,175
into a round of
absinthe glasses
736
00:26:18,177 --> 00:26:19,944
for a proper louche.
737
00:26:19,946 --> 00:26:22,580
By the turn of
the 20th century,
738
00:26:22,582 --> 00:26:25,816
fountains emblazoned with
the logos of absinthe makers
739
00:26:25,818 --> 00:26:29,253
could be found in bars
from paris to new orleans.
740
00:26:29,255 --> 00:26:31,889
The center piece
of a social ritual
741
00:26:31,891 --> 00:26:34,391
forever tied to
the liquor itself.
742
00:26:35,761 --> 00:26:37,861
[richard] that looks
like it's tim.
743
00:26:37,863 --> 00:26:39,763
Tim can do this
while he's sleeping.
744
00:26:39,765 --> 00:26:40,731
Tim's been with me
745
00:26:40,733 --> 00:26:42,766
since the beginning of
my moonshining days.
746
00:26:42,768 --> 00:26:44,835
-Tim, what's going on tim?
-What's up, rich?
747
00:26:44,837 --> 00:26:46,837
-What's happening man?
-[tim] how y'all doing?
748
00:26:46,839 --> 00:26:49,340
Tim's a master plumber,
he's an architect also.
749
00:26:49,342 --> 00:26:50,874
He's really into
things like this.
750
00:26:50,876 --> 00:26:52,176
I need tim's help
751
00:26:52,178 --> 00:26:53,944
because I don't have time
to mess around with this.
752
00:26:53,946 --> 00:26:54,845
We're meeting this buyer
tonight,
753
00:26:54,847 --> 00:26:56,080
and this fountain
needs to work.
754
00:26:56,082 --> 00:26:57,848
What y'all trying to do?
755
00:26:57,850 --> 00:26:59,717
This is
an absinthe fountain, man.
756
00:26:59,719 --> 00:27:02,186
The only way to
truly enjoy absinthe
757
00:27:02,188 --> 00:27:04,888
is to, uh, take some
cold water, some ice water,
758
00:27:04,890 --> 00:27:06,557
and just drip it in slowly.
759
00:27:06,559 --> 00:27:08,225
What you think?
760
00:27:08,227 --> 00:27:10,661
-This sale that--
-you need to make
a dripper.
761
00:27:10,663 --> 00:27:11,962
Something that's gonna drip.
762
00:27:11,964 --> 00:27:14,064
But I need this dripper
to look like something
763
00:27:14,066 --> 00:27:15,699
-that would be...
-Yeah, a pretty dripper.
764
00:27:15,701 --> 00:27:16,834
A pretty dripper.
765
00:27:16,836 --> 00:27:18,068
-[craig] a descent dripper.
[laughs]
-yeah.
766
00:27:18,070 --> 00:27:19,236
I don't see no problem.
767
00:27:19,238 --> 00:27:20,337
-You don't see no problem?
-Nah!
768
00:27:20,339 --> 00:27:21,138
Let's make a dripper.
769
00:27:21,140 --> 00:27:22,906
All right, let's see.
770
00:27:22,908 --> 00:27:24,274
Let's go shopping here in your
truck, tim, what you got?
771
00:27:24,276 --> 00:27:25,142
Man,
772
00:27:25,144 --> 00:27:26,844
I brought an
assortment of stuff.
773
00:27:26,846 --> 00:27:29,113
Brought some copper,
some fittings.
774
00:27:29,115 --> 00:27:31,782
That tubing ought to be
perfect right there.
775
00:27:31,784 --> 00:27:32,783
Tim's got everything.
776
00:27:32,785 --> 00:27:34,952
I mean, he's got pipe, plates,
tubing.
777
00:27:34,954 --> 00:27:36,120
I mean, you name it,
he's got it.
778
00:27:36,122 --> 00:27:37,788
You could actually wrap
779
00:27:37,790 --> 00:27:39,723
the copper around.
780
00:27:39,725 --> 00:27:41,291
And that way, it kinda
looks like a worm.
781
00:27:41,293 --> 00:27:43,160
To make it look like
a condenser.
782
00:27:43,162 --> 00:27:43,961
Yeah.
783
00:27:43,996 --> 00:27:44,795
Oh!
784
00:27:44,797 --> 00:27:45,929
Coming from the glass.
785
00:27:45,931 --> 00:27:47,731
I got these little fancy
things.
786
00:27:47,733 --> 00:27:49,033
[richard] we're gonna use some
basic steel pipes
787
00:27:49,035 --> 00:27:50,768
to build a base
to this fountain.
788
00:27:50,770 --> 00:27:52,302
I think something
like this, richard.
789
00:27:52,872 --> 00:27:54,004
Let me see that jar,
790
00:27:54,006 --> 00:27:55,272
let me see
what that would look like.
791
00:27:55,274 --> 00:27:56,006
[craig] that's perfect.
792
00:27:56,008 --> 00:27:56,974
[richard]
let's do some coiling
793
00:27:56,976 --> 00:27:58,075
and see if we can get
these things
794
00:27:58,077 --> 00:27:59,810
looking like a condenser.
795
00:27:59,812 --> 00:28:01,145
Yeah, I can see it already.
796
00:28:01,981 --> 00:28:03,480
Kind of bore it out
a little bit.
797
00:28:04,150 --> 00:28:05,382
We can take this
798
00:28:05,384 --> 00:28:06,550
and we put that through it.
799
00:28:07,019 --> 00:28:07,785
Wrap the base,
800
00:28:07,787 --> 00:28:09,987
get our worm fabricated.
801
00:28:09,989 --> 00:28:12,156
[richard] for the dripper,
we picked up some
copper tubing
802
00:28:12,158 --> 00:28:13,657
and a couple of small valves
803
00:28:13,659 --> 00:28:15,059
for a nice slow flow.
804
00:28:15,061 --> 00:28:17,027
[tim] like this.
Bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop.
805
00:28:17,329 --> 00:28:18,696
[richard] and little spigots.
806
00:28:18,698 --> 00:28:19,997
[tim] good tight end seal.
807
00:28:20,666 --> 00:28:22,132
[richard] get that jar
for me right there.
808
00:28:22,134 --> 00:28:23,867
When we finish with this,
it's gonna look like,
809
00:28:23,869 --> 00:28:25,536
it's dripping right from
the worm
810
00:28:25,538 --> 00:28:26,437
out of our still.
811
00:28:27,206 --> 00:28:28,272
[tim] snug it up.
812
00:28:28,274 --> 00:28:29,206
Moment of truth, man.
813
00:28:29,208 --> 00:28:31,075
We gonna find out right now.
814
00:28:31,077 --> 00:28:33,310
But, look,
if this right here works,
815
00:28:33,946 --> 00:28:35,312
I'ma run and jump
in that bayou.
816
00:28:35,314 --> 00:28:37,014
[tim] oh, I gotta see that.
817
00:28:38,984 --> 00:28:39,950
[richard] yeah,
818
00:28:39,952 --> 00:28:41,919
that's what I needed
to see, man.
819
00:28:41,921 --> 00:28:43,020
Oh, yeah! Thank you, bro.
820
00:28:43,022 --> 00:28:44,321
[tim] that's the dripper.
821
00:28:44,323 --> 00:28:46,123
[richard] that's what I needed
to see right there.
822
00:28:46,125 --> 00:28:47,891
This is the final piece
of the puzzle.
823
00:28:47,893 --> 00:28:50,394
We got our taste,
we got our color.
824
00:28:50,396 --> 00:28:52,129
Now, we got our presentation.
825
00:28:52,198 --> 00:28:53,263
Man...
826
00:28:53,399 --> 00:28:54,064
Thanks, bro.
827
00:28:54,066 --> 00:28:55,065
No problem.
828
00:28:55,067 --> 00:28:56,934
I just hope it meets
this guy's expectations.
829
00:28:56,936 --> 00:28:58,168
[tim] just holler if you
need something.
830
00:28:58,170 --> 00:29:00,304
-[richard] I sure will.
-[craig] all right,
we sure will.
831
00:29:11,817 --> 00:29:14,051
I don't know, man.
This damn thing.
832
00:29:14,053 --> 00:29:16,120
Looks like I'm coming in
about the right time here.
833
00:29:16,122 --> 00:29:17,421
Yeah, you might be.
834
00:29:18,190 --> 00:29:20,157
I'm sick of it, man.
835
00:29:20,159 --> 00:29:21,525
We're gonna get 'er
done real quick,
836
00:29:21,527 --> 00:29:22,459
right here, just a minute.
837
00:29:22,461 --> 00:29:24,328
[mike] pellets are
all kinds of hardwood.
838
00:29:24,330 --> 00:29:25,929
It's been kiln-dried,
839
00:29:25,931 --> 00:29:27,231
ground to a powder
840
00:29:27,233 --> 00:29:29,700
and then compressed
into hard little pellets.
841
00:29:29,702 --> 00:29:30,834
[jerry] we'll do the fort
down in there
842
00:29:30,836 --> 00:29:32,102
where it kinda of makes
a "v" in the bottom of it.
843
00:29:32,104 --> 00:29:33,837
-Yeah.
-And then we can just
bring it up
844
00:29:33,839 --> 00:29:35,739
and kind of just fold it
over the top, that'll hold it.
845
00:29:35,741 --> 00:29:38,008
Basically, all we making
is a bird's nest basket
846
00:29:38,010 --> 00:29:40,811
to set down in this thing
to pour the pellets in,
847
00:29:40,813 --> 00:29:42,579
where they'll stop
at a certain point,
848
00:29:42,581 --> 00:29:43,847
and where we can light 'em up
849
00:29:43,849 --> 00:29:45,983
and then they'll just
self-feed down through there
850
00:29:45,985 --> 00:29:46,950
and try to burn.
851
00:29:48,053 --> 00:29:49,853
[jerry] I don't think
it's gonna work, man.
852
00:29:49,855 --> 00:29:51,288
[mike] damn, I hope it does.
853
00:29:52,291 --> 00:29:53,991
[jerry] get her fired up.
854
00:29:55,561 --> 00:29:57,694
Jerry comes waddling on
back into the still site
855
00:29:57,696 --> 00:29:59,029
and he's got
a big bag of pellets,
856
00:29:59,031 --> 00:30:00,430
which I get in there
with the thrower,
857
00:30:00,432 --> 00:30:01,965
blow into to it...
858
00:30:01,967 --> 00:30:03,567
[jerry] oh, she's picking up
steam now.
859
00:30:03,569 --> 00:30:04,568
[mike] yeah, buddy.
860
00:30:04,570 --> 00:30:05,969
It immediately lights up,
861
00:30:05,971 --> 00:30:07,004
and we're good to go.
862
00:30:07,006 --> 00:30:09,239
I hadn't seen it
burn like that yet.
863
00:30:09,241 --> 00:30:10,874
[jerry] that's a really
consistent burn, too.
864
00:30:10,876 --> 00:30:12,075
It is.
865
00:30:12,077 --> 00:30:14,011
See now, we can
do what we gotta do.
866
00:30:14,013 --> 00:30:14,978
We know it's burning,
867
00:30:14,980 --> 00:30:16,046
it's not going out.
868
00:30:16,048 --> 00:30:17,214
And it's consistently burning
869
00:30:17,216 --> 00:30:19,149
with the right amount
of damn oxygen.
870
00:30:19,985 --> 00:30:22,019
Come to just
stanley gettin' it, baby.
871
00:30:22,021 --> 00:30:23,821
Whoo! I'm liking it.
872
00:30:23,823 --> 00:30:25,088
This is a brand-new rig
873
00:30:25,090 --> 00:30:27,257
made of a white oak
charred barrel.
874
00:30:27,259 --> 00:30:29,193
We got a copper core going
through the center of it
875
00:30:29,195 --> 00:30:30,561
from top to bottom.
876
00:30:30,563 --> 00:30:33,197
And we're gonna be open flame
from the bottom
877
00:30:33,199 --> 00:30:35,065
all the way through this core,
out the chimney.
878
00:30:35,067 --> 00:30:36,233
It's very important
to run your liquor
879
00:30:36,235 --> 00:30:37,668
at a consistent temperature.
880
00:30:37,670 --> 00:30:39,269
You've got to have
that sweet spot
881
00:30:39,271 --> 00:30:41,138
and that's what we got here
with these pellets.
882
00:30:41,407 --> 00:30:42,706
Feel that, jerry.
883
00:30:42,808 --> 00:30:45,108
-That son of gun is getting
warm right there already.
-Whoo-hoo!
884
00:30:45,778 --> 00:30:47,978
Now, this right here
is gonna be
885
00:30:47,980 --> 00:30:49,680
the name of the damn
game for us.
886
00:30:49,682 --> 00:30:52,182
We can run this thing nice
and slow and consistent
887
00:30:52,184 --> 00:30:54,218
and get everything that
we need to get out
of this run.
888
00:30:54,220 --> 00:30:56,019
It's doing great.
889
00:30:57,790 --> 00:30:59,556
-Nice.
-I say you ought
to be getting close.
890
00:30:59,558 --> 00:31:01,191
Yeah, starting to look like
it's getting a little...
891
00:31:01,193 --> 00:31:02,426
Looky there.
892
00:31:02,995 --> 00:31:04,962
Wowzers, [bleep] yeah!
893
00:31:04,964 --> 00:31:06,063
We got it, don't we?
894
00:31:06,065 --> 00:31:07,731
Look at that stream, son.
895
00:31:07,733 --> 00:31:10,067
[mike] we got alcohol,
don't we?
896
00:31:10,069 --> 00:31:11,335
Smell that--
those notes in there.
897
00:31:11,337 --> 00:31:14,171
Yeah, the notes of them
blueberries, for sure.
898
00:31:14,173 --> 00:31:15,739
-And that char.
-Mmm-hmm.
899
00:31:15,741 --> 00:31:16,940
The char's in there
really good.
900
00:31:16,942 --> 00:31:18,809
It's got a good
rich smell to it.
901
00:31:18,811 --> 00:31:20,143
[mike] that blueberry's
coming through.
902
00:31:20,145 --> 00:31:22,746
You can smell those notes
from the charred barrel,
903
00:31:22,748 --> 00:31:24,081
from the blueberry
coming through.
904
00:31:24,083 --> 00:31:26,450
We gonna wait till it kind of
tempers itself down,
905
00:31:26,452 --> 00:31:28,151
getting them harsh.
We gonna
take this to swallow.
906
00:31:28,153 --> 00:31:30,420
Now, we're in the business end
of it right now.
907
00:31:30,422 --> 00:31:32,155
That's what we're looking for.
908
00:31:32,157 --> 00:31:33,624
The bed in the sand.
909
00:31:33,626 --> 00:31:35,292
You know, I'm ready to taste
this brandy right now.
910
00:31:35,294 --> 00:31:36,860
I'm getting nervous on
how it's gonna taste.
911
00:31:36,862 --> 00:31:38,195
I can smell those good notes
912
00:31:38,197 --> 00:31:40,030
coming from the barrel
and the blueberries.
913
00:31:40,032 --> 00:31:41,965
But it's time to take us
a swallow and see--
914
00:31:41,967 --> 00:31:44,801
see really what me
and jerry's done here today.
915
00:31:44,803 --> 00:31:46,937
Looks like we about
to another jug, brother.
916
00:31:46,939 --> 00:31:47,537
[jerry] we on it.
917
00:31:48,908 --> 00:31:50,941
Don't, don't...
918
00:31:50,943 --> 00:31:52,242
-Don't spill on it.
-Don't spill it.
919
00:31:52,912 --> 00:31:53,911
Let me hold on to that.
920
00:31:53,913 --> 00:31:55,112
We gotta try it, don't we?
921
00:31:55,114 --> 00:31:56,546
I am super excited
about this right here.
922
00:31:59,218 --> 00:32:00,284
There you go.
923
00:32:02,254 --> 00:32:03,954
[mike] I'm smelling
the blueberries
924
00:32:03,956 --> 00:32:05,389
a lot better than
it was before.
925
00:32:11,497 --> 00:32:12,496
Wow.
926
00:32:13,799 --> 00:32:15,866
That's blueberry damn brandy
right there, buddy.
927
00:32:15,868 --> 00:32:17,801
The notes of the charcoal--
928
00:32:17,803 --> 00:32:19,236
-it's there.
-...The chars there.
929
00:32:19,238 --> 00:32:21,138
I'm really, I'm loving this.
930
00:32:22,107 --> 00:32:23,273
Mmm.
931
00:32:23,776 --> 00:32:25,676
This stuff tastes amazing.
932
00:32:25,678 --> 00:32:28,045
I mean, one of the best runs
we've ever made.
933
00:32:28,047 --> 00:32:30,280
And we taste like
blueberries but not...
934
00:32:30,282 --> 00:32:31,315
Coated in damn sugar.
935
00:32:31,317 --> 00:32:32,282
Yeah.
936
00:32:32,785 --> 00:32:33,917
[mike] I like it.
937
00:32:33,919 --> 00:32:35,886
It's good.
I believe it'll sell.
938
00:32:35,888 --> 00:32:36,753
I'm tickled with it.
939
00:32:36,755 --> 00:32:38,822
It's got the wood charred
notes in it,
940
00:32:38,824 --> 00:32:41,091
it's got the blueberry
coming through it just right.
941
00:32:41,093 --> 00:32:44,127
I believe this stuff is gonna
sell like crazy.
942
00:32:44,129 --> 00:32:46,897
It's perfect, I mean,
don't touch it,
943
00:32:46,899 --> 00:32:48,532
don't fix it
if it ain't broke.
944
00:32:48,534 --> 00:32:50,100
This stuff is great.
945
00:32:50,102 --> 00:32:52,035
[clears throat] that's
about it, ain't it, bubba?
946
00:32:52,037 --> 00:32:53,937
Yeah, we're pushing
right down there
947
00:32:53,939 --> 00:32:55,005
in the bottom of the tails.
So...
948
00:32:55,007 --> 00:32:55,939
Yep.
949
00:32:55,941 --> 00:32:57,174
We don't need to push it
no more.
950
00:32:57,176 --> 00:32:58,842
[mike] all righty.
951
00:32:58,844 --> 00:33:00,043
[jerry] let's get this stuff
loaded up
952
00:33:00,045 --> 00:33:01,078
and get it out of here.
953
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,246
[mike] I reckon it's about
that dadgum, ain't it?
954
00:33:03,248 --> 00:33:05,115
-[jerry] oh, sure is.
-[grunts] oh, damn!
955
00:33:05,584 --> 00:33:06,984
[grunts]
956
00:33:07,186 --> 00:33:08,852
[jerry] this ain't as easy as
carrying the buckets,
though, but...
957
00:33:08,854 --> 00:33:10,153
[mike] hell, yeah! Dang.
958
00:33:10,155 --> 00:33:13,557
Blueberry brandy though, baby.
We have done it, son.
959
00:33:25,270 --> 00:33:26,903
[richard] look at all this
big money over here,
960
00:33:26,905 --> 00:33:28,338
big buildings,
961
00:33:29,008 --> 00:33:29,740
big lights.
962
00:33:29,775 --> 00:33:31,208
This is big money
out here, man.
963
00:33:31,777 --> 00:33:33,010
We in new orleans, louisiana,
964
00:33:33,012 --> 00:33:34,644
we're on our way to
make a sale right now.
965
00:33:34,646 --> 00:33:37,214
It's a big city, man, to be
just walking in and saying,
966
00:33:37,216 --> 00:33:38,849
"here, look,
we got shine for you,"
967
00:33:38,851 --> 00:33:39,983
I'm kinda nervous.
968
00:33:39,985 --> 00:33:41,985
It's the first time we've
ever tried anything like this
969
00:33:41,987 --> 00:33:43,687
and we have to put a drink
in front of someone
970
00:33:43,689 --> 00:33:45,022
who knows about it.
971
00:33:45,057 --> 00:33:46,890
What I wanna do is I wanna
stop, get the fountain ready,
972
00:33:46,892 --> 00:33:49,059
so we can do a louche
for this dude.
973
00:33:49,061 --> 00:33:51,361
This guy's a real
absinthe aficionado.
974
00:33:51,897 --> 00:33:52,796
Let's hurry up, man,
975
00:33:52,865 --> 00:33:54,831
we don't even know
where we at over here.
976
00:33:54,833 --> 00:33:57,234
We don't wanna be
doing this at the site.
977
00:33:58,537 --> 00:34:00,804
We're gonna
fill this up with ice.
978
00:34:00,806 --> 00:34:02,205
We're gonna try this out
and see how it works.
979
00:34:02,207 --> 00:34:03,874
I'm anxious to
get this drink in his hand
980
00:34:03,876 --> 00:34:05,275
and hear his response from it.
981
00:34:05,277 --> 00:34:07,911
Three to one,
water to absinthe ratio.
982
00:34:07,913 --> 00:34:10,380
This is what does our louche.
983
00:34:10,382 --> 00:34:12,082
Just a little drip
like that...
984
00:34:12,117 --> 00:34:13,083
Is all it takes
985
00:34:13,085 --> 00:34:14,985
to release the flavors
and the oils
986
00:34:14,987 --> 00:34:16,987
and the botanicals from state.
987
00:34:16,989 --> 00:34:18,655
He doesn't know that
we did this for him,
988
00:34:18,657 --> 00:34:19,956
it's just something that
we wanted to do
989
00:34:19,958 --> 00:34:22,726
to make sure that we give
a customer the right thing.
990
00:34:22,728 --> 00:34:24,561
And these things
can get quite expensive.
991
00:34:24,563 --> 00:34:26,229
I mean, you can go buy one for
992
00:34:26,231 --> 00:34:28,565
$300-$400 out of the store.
993
00:34:28,567 --> 00:34:30,767
Or you can contact us
for 19.95,
994
00:34:30,769 --> 00:34:33,003
-you can have this one
right here.
-Plus shipping and handling.
995
00:34:33,005 --> 00:34:35,205
-Come on, let's go.
-We oughta get in the business
of making these things.
996
00:34:35,207 --> 00:34:37,741
Hey, man, you think I ain't
been thinking about it?
997
00:34:37,743 --> 00:34:39,209
We make it seem like
this is fun and games,
998
00:34:39,211 --> 00:34:40,977
but we are really going
to sell some alcohol
999
00:34:40,979 --> 00:34:43,180
to someone that
we really don't know.
1000
00:34:43,182 --> 00:34:46,049
Selling alcohol to anyone,
you can go to jail.
1001
00:34:46,051 --> 00:34:47,150
I mean...
1002
00:34:47,152 --> 00:34:48,085
I'm a big little dude,
1003
00:34:48,087 --> 00:34:49,786
but they'll call me
strawberry in jail.
1004
00:34:49,788 --> 00:34:51,254
I don't want to go to jail.
1005
00:34:51,256 --> 00:34:52,322
[richard] let's
set this thing up, man,
1006
00:34:52,324 --> 00:34:53,790
and get outta here.
I don't like it.
1007
00:34:53,792 --> 00:34:54,891
Yeah, this ain't the bayou,
1008
00:34:54,893 --> 00:34:55,725
this is a different
kind of jungle.
1009
00:34:55,727 --> 00:34:57,127
This is a concrete jungle
here.
1010
00:34:57,129 --> 00:34:59,563
-Let's bring it in.
-[craig] I think, that's him
right there, man.
1011
00:34:59,565 --> 00:35:01,498
[richard] oh, yeah,
that's him. There he go.
1012
00:35:05,871 --> 00:35:08,371
[suspenseful music playing]
1013
00:35:11,076 --> 00:35:11,942
who's richard?
1014
00:35:11,977 --> 00:35:13,043
Whoa!
1015
00:35:20,018 --> 00:35:21,651
[richard] so you're the one
wanting the absinthe?
1016
00:35:21,653 --> 00:35:23,120
[buyer]
yeah, I want that absinthe.
1017
00:35:23,122 --> 00:35:25,122
Yeah, james said you like
this absinthe stuff.
1018
00:35:25,124 --> 00:35:26,056
Yes, sir.
1019
00:35:26,058 --> 00:35:28,125
Look, we put a fountain
together for you.
1020
00:35:28,127 --> 00:35:29,226
We're gonna just show you
what this thing does.
1021
00:35:29,228 --> 00:35:31,094
Do a proper louche,
you know.
1022
00:35:31,230 --> 00:35:32,596
Look how beautiful that is.
1023
00:35:32,598 --> 00:35:33,997
[buyer] that's nice,
yeah, it's pretty.
1024
00:35:33,999 --> 00:35:36,299
[richard] it's looking like it
should be in new orleans.
1025
00:35:36,301 --> 00:35:38,135
Now, that's a proper drink
right here, man.
1026
00:35:38,137 --> 00:35:39,269
And it tastes...
1027
00:35:40,072 --> 00:35:41,838
Just as good as it looks.
1028
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,241
I'll take the first sip
and show you we're real.
1029
00:35:44,810 --> 00:35:46,042
As this guy takes his sip,
1030
00:35:46,044 --> 00:35:46,943
I'm thinking about
all the work
1031
00:35:46,945 --> 00:35:48,044
we put in into this drink.
1032
00:35:48,046 --> 00:35:50,113
I mean a whole lot of
time and money.
1033
00:35:54,019 --> 00:35:54,784
[narrator] coming up...
1034
00:35:54,786 --> 00:35:58,088
[digger] it's about 95 proof.
1035
00:35:58,090 --> 00:36:00,891
Is there any chance at all
you'd let us set up here
1036
00:36:00,893 --> 00:36:02,025
for an extended period?
1037
00:36:02,027 --> 00:36:04,561
That's a...
That's a big question.
1038
00:36:13,138 --> 00:36:15,939
[john] well, this is our
wall of fame.
1039
00:36:15,941 --> 00:36:18,909
A lot of unique bottles that
we've done over the years.
1040
00:36:18,911 --> 00:36:21,778
John, has this
big nice showcase
1041
00:36:21,780 --> 00:36:23,013
full of assorted bottles
1042
00:36:23,015 --> 00:36:24,948
and they simply
all contain water.
1043
00:36:24,950 --> 00:36:27,117
[john] these are
swarovski crystals.
1044
00:36:27,119 --> 00:36:30,954
Uh, this one's sold anywhere
from $75 to $125.
1045
00:36:30,989 --> 00:36:32,355
Dang.
1046
00:36:32,691 --> 00:36:35,058
At one time, it was the most
expensive bottle of water
in the world.
1047
00:36:35,060 --> 00:36:36,760
Wonder if we'd put us
some shiny trinkets
1048
00:36:36,762 --> 00:36:37,827
on a mason jar,
1049
00:36:37,829 --> 00:36:39,829
you put premium liquor in it,
1050
00:36:39,831 --> 00:36:41,364
hell, there's no telling
what it would be.
1051
00:36:41,366 --> 00:36:42,098
That's insane.
1052
00:36:42,100 --> 00:36:44,034
[john laughs]
1053
00:36:45,904 --> 00:36:48,104
[richard]
I'll take the first sip
and show you we're real.
1054
00:36:48,106 --> 00:36:50,106
[buyer] oh, yeah,
it smells right.
1055
00:36:50,909 --> 00:36:52,108
[richard]
as this guy takes his sip,
1056
00:36:52,110 --> 00:36:53,076
I'm thinking about
all the work
1057
00:36:53,078 --> 00:36:53,944
we've put in into this drink.
1058
00:36:53,946 --> 00:36:56,012
I mean, a whole lot of
time and money.
1059
00:36:56,014 --> 00:36:58,815
And it all comes down to
whether or not our absinthe
1060
00:36:58,817 --> 00:37:01,151
tastes like the stuff that
he's used to drinking.
1061
00:37:01,153 --> 00:37:03,720
That's what it smells like
back in the day?
1062
00:37:03,722 --> 00:37:06,456
Oh, yeah, and it tastes good.
Tastes just like it, man.
1063
00:37:09,161 --> 00:37:11,194
-Oh, yeah, yeah, this is it.
-That's it.
1064
00:37:11,196 --> 00:37:14,231
[buyer] we had this way back
in the '60s and '70s, man.
1065
00:37:14,233 --> 00:37:15,799
Our family used to drink this.
1066
00:37:15,801 --> 00:37:17,300
-[richard] really?
-Yeah, yeah.
1067
00:37:17,302 --> 00:37:19,069
[richard] I'm glad
you like it, my man.
1068
00:37:19,071 --> 00:37:21,371
[craig] it's gonna be $250.
1069
00:37:21,373 --> 00:37:22,906
Okay, you take crypto?
1070
00:37:22,908 --> 00:37:23,940
Crypto, yeah.
1071
00:37:23,942 --> 00:37:26,309
[richard] oh, yeah,
we definitely take crypto.
1072
00:37:26,311 --> 00:37:28,111
[buyer] okay, that's what
I'm talking about.
1073
00:37:28,113 --> 00:37:29,079
There you go.
1074
00:37:29,081 --> 00:37:30,780
By the time we get back
to the bayou,
1075
00:37:30,782 --> 00:37:32,649
this crypto better be
going up in value.
1076
00:37:32,651 --> 00:37:33,950
If not, I can promise you,
1077
00:37:33,952 --> 00:37:35,652
craig is gonna be working
some overtime.
1078
00:37:35,654 --> 00:37:36,820
How much more of this
can I get?
1079
00:37:36,822 --> 00:37:38,555
'cause a lot of people are
gonna ask for it.
1080
00:37:38,557 --> 00:37:40,056
[richard] well, we can make
as much as you need.
1081
00:37:40,058 --> 00:37:43,159
Oh, man, you gonna make
a lot of people happy.
1082
00:37:43,161 --> 00:37:46,096
This guy wants as much
absinthe as we can make.
1083
00:37:46,098 --> 00:37:48,131
And for $250 a gallon,
1084
00:37:48,133 --> 00:37:50,100
I'll make as much as
he can take.
1085
00:37:50,102 --> 00:37:52,636
We'll get right on it
as soon as get back home.
1086
00:37:52,638 --> 00:37:54,404
I appreciate it.
1087
00:37:54,406 --> 00:37:55,972
-See y'all later.
Get home safe, bye-bye.
-All right, thanks, my man.
1088
00:37:55,974 --> 00:37:57,073
[richard] we're in
the big leagues now.
1089
00:37:57,075 --> 00:37:58,642
I mean, we gotta get back
to the still site
1090
00:37:58,644 --> 00:38:00,744
and figure out how to
upscale this recipe.
1091
00:38:00,746 --> 00:38:02,912
[craig] so excited,
I'm dropping the keys, man.
1092
00:38:02,914 --> 00:38:05,215
Yeah, man, but we can't take
our time out here tonight.
1093
00:38:05,217 --> 00:38:07,284
That's when you go to jail
right now.
1094
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:09,319
I got scared.
1095
00:38:09,855 --> 00:38:11,121
[craig] yeah.
1096
00:38:11,123 --> 00:38:14,257
Let's hit the highway
with this money.
1097
00:38:23,101 --> 00:38:24,301
[mark] damn, there goes
them butterflies,
1098
00:38:24,303 --> 00:38:26,169
flipping and flopping
in my belly again.
1099
00:38:26,171 --> 00:38:27,304
Them bubble guts.
1100
00:38:27,673 --> 00:38:28,972
God almighty.
1101
00:38:28,974 --> 00:38:32,142
[digger] I gave john a call,
he's gonna come on over.
1102
00:38:32,144 --> 00:38:35,278
I can't say that
I'm not uneasy at this point.
1103
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:36,212
Hi, mark, hey, digger.
1104
00:38:36,214 --> 00:38:37,947
-[mark] hey, johnny.
-[digger] hello, john.
1105
00:38:37,949 --> 00:38:40,016
I gotta break
the question to him.
1106
00:38:40,018 --> 00:38:42,886
"can we stay here
and run on for a while?"
1107
00:38:42,888 --> 00:38:44,954
this right here,
made on your water,
1108
00:38:44,956 --> 00:38:47,657
tempered on your water,
1109
00:38:47,659 --> 00:38:50,760
I don't think you can get much
prettier and clear than that.
1110
00:38:50,762 --> 00:38:52,195
-[john] no.
-You can tell that
it was a lonely man
1111
00:38:52,197 --> 00:38:53,596
who tightened that lid up.
1112
00:38:53,598 --> 00:38:55,198
[all laughing]
1113
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,935
-strong hands.
-I'll tell ya, it's, uh...
I'm proud of it.
1114
00:38:58,937 --> 00:39:00,036
[digger] it's about...
1115
00:39:00,839 --> 00:39:02,939
95 proof.
1116
00:39:02,941 --> 00:39:04,240
[john] that's just right.
1117
00:39:04,876 --> 00:39:06,142
That's smooth.
1118
00:39:06,144 --> 00:39:08,144
That'd get you hurt
in a hurry.
1119
00:39:08,146 --> 00:39:09,879
That's like a good marriage.
1120
00:39:09,881 --> 00:39:11,214
It'll put you on
your knees quick.
1121
00:39:11,216 --> 00:39:12,248
[mark laughs]
1122
00:39:12,250 --> 00:39:14,084
[john] guys, I'll tell you,
I just...
1123
00:39:14,553 --> 00:39:16,019
I've had some moonshine,
1124
00:39:16,021 --> 00:39:18,021
I've never tasted anything
that's like this.
1125
00:39:18,023 --> 00:39:19,756
[mark] this water's so cold
1126
00:39:19,758 --> 00:39:20,757
and that's the secret.
1127
00:39:20,759 --> 00:39:22,692
When you're condensing it,
1128
00:39:22,694 --> 00:39:24,994
the colder you can keep it
1129
00:39:24,996 --> 00:39:25,995
-the less fire--
-get back the vapor
1130
00:39:25,997 --> 00:39:28,064
as efficiently as possible.
1131
00:39:28,066 --> 00:39:31,201
...That it gets into
the taste, the finish of it.
1132
00:39:31,203 --> 00:39:33,770
You know, that's your water.
That's...
1133
00:39:33,772 --> 00:39:35,572
-And I had no doubt...
-Wow.
1134
00:39:35,574 --> 00:39:36,973
...That it would do that.
1135
00:39:36,975 --> 00:39:38,942
Is there any chance at all
you'd let us
1136
00:39:38,944 --> 00:39:41,111
set up here for
an extended period
1137
00:39:41,113 --> 00:39:42,779
to make a little liquor?
1138
00:39:42,781 --> 00:39:43,980
[whistles]
1139
00:39:45,016 --> 00:39:47,150
that's a...
That's a big question.
1140
00:39:50,555 --> 00:39:52,989
Well, guys, you know,
I mean, it's...
1141
00:39:52,991 --> 00:39:56,092
As much as I like it, and
as much as I like the product,
1142
00:39:56,294 --> 00:39:57,494
you know, we run a...
1143
00:39:57,929 --> 00:39:59,396
A very legal business,
1144
00:39:59,398 --> 00:40:01,698
and you all run
a very illegal business,
1145
00:40:01,700 --> 00:40:03,566
and I just...
1146
00:40:03,568 --> 00:40:05,301
For right now,
under those pretense,
1147
00:40:05,303 --> 00:40:06,569
I just don't see
the two mixing.
1148
00:40:07,973 --> 00:40:09,939
I feel in our heart of hearts,
1149
00:40:09,941 --> 00:40:12,876
that was the answer that
we knew we would get.
1150
00:40:12,878 --> 00:40:14,577
We've never ever
1151
00:40:14,579 --> 00:40:16,646
been in a more perfect spot,
1152
00:40:16,648 --> 00:40:17,847
but...
1153
00:40:17,849 --> 00:40:20,049
We understand
your situation as well.
1154
00:40:20,886 --> 00:40:21,885
You know, I'm feel like
1155
00:40:22,154 --> 00:40:24,387
I've been slapped away
from a table for farting
1156
00:40:24,956 --> 00:40:25,522
and...
1157
00:40:25,957 --> 00:40:27,090
But it's...
1158
00:40:27,092 --> 00:40:29,292
Also, it's not a surprise.
1159
00:40:29,294 --> 00:40:30,760
Let me ask you something.
1160
00:40:30,762 --> 00:40:31,861
Yes, sir.
1161
00:40:31,863 --> 00:40:33,396
Have you ever thought about...
1162
00:40:34,166 --> 00:40:37,367
Would you consider
going into a partnership?
1163
00:40:38,270 --> 00:40:39,702
You don't have
to answer me now.
1164
00:40:39,704 --> 00:40:41,771
I mean, it may not be
something y'all consider,
1165
00:40:41,773 --> 00:40:43,873
but I've always wondered
about our water,
1166
00:40:43,875 --> 00:40:45,442
you've proved it now.
1167
00:40:46,978 --> 00:40:48,445
I'm just
throwing it out there.
1168
00:40:48,447 --> 00:40:51,014
I mean, that's the first thing
that hit my mind,
1169
00:40:51,016 --> 00:40:52,081
you know.
1170
00:40:52,083 --> 00:40:53,483
That's awful attractive.
1171
00:40:53,952 --> 00:40:55,118
He thinks that
1172
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:59,055
he and I and mark need
to form a partnership
1173
00:40:59,057 --> 00:41:00,924
and build a legal distillery
1174
00:41:00,926 --> 00:41:03,026
from the ground up here
on this spring.
1175
00:41:03,028 --> 00:41:04,060
You know, I don't even know
1176
00:41:04,062 --> 00:41:06,930
what it would take
to build a distillery.
1177
00:41:06,932 --> 00:41:08,898
This is a golden opportunity.
1178
00:41:08,900 --> 00:41:10,266
But this is not just
1179
00:41:10,268 --> 00:41:11,201
selling recipes
1180
00:41:11,203 --> 00:41:15,238
and putting your face
and name on a jar.
1181
00:41:16,641 --> 00:41:18,174
I don't know. That's--
I've never been
1182
00:41:18,176 --> 00:41:20,977
presented with that
before in my life ever.
1183
00:41:20,979 --> 00:41:22,946
[digger] it's gonna be
a big endeavor.
1184
00:41:22,948 --> 00:41:25,081
But it ain't everybody
that gets to make liquor
1185
00:41:25,083 --> 00:41:27,183
on a spring
that's this quality
1186
00:41:27,185 --> 00:41:28,351
and this size.
