1
00:00:06,500 --> 00:00:09,800
[narrator] On a special
Master Distiller tournament,
2
00:00:09,867 --> 00:00:11,367
it's a legal...
3
00:00:12,467 --> 00:00:15,166
...versus outlaw showdown.
4
00:00:15,166 --> 00:00:18,667
I ain't got no idea
how this is gonna go.
5
00:00:18,667 --> 00:00:20,967
[narrator]
Six former contenders
6
00:00:20,967 --> 00:00:24,100
from opposing sides
of the liquor-making universe
7
00:00:24,166 --> 00:00:25,867
go head to head.
8
00:00:27,066 --> 00:00:29,967
While Tim coaches
the legal distillers...
9
00:00:29,967 --> 00:00:31,867
You're not gonna bring me
nothing that's, say, 30-proof?
10
00:00:31,867 --> 00:00:35,166
[narrator] ...Digger wrangles
the outlaw shiners...
11
00:00:35,166 --> 00:00:38,967
It's time for the outlaw side
to win this rascal.
12
00:00:38,967 --> 00:00:41,100
[narrator]
...pushing the boundaries
of their craft.
13
00:00:41,166 --> 00:00:43,100
[Digger Manes] Come on,
you're not gonna
let her beat you,
14
00:00:43,166 --> 00:00:44,500
come on, get with it!
15
00:00:44,500 --> 00:00:47,367
[narrator] Through a series
of elimination challenges...
16
00:00:47,367 --> 00:00:49,066
That's some outlaw
technology there.
17
00:00:49,066 --> 00:00:52,300
[narrator] ...only one side
of the law will prevail.
18
00:00:52,367 --> 00:00:54,200
[Frank Hicks] I got no fire.
19
00:00:54,266 --> 00:00:55,767
Come on.
20
00:00:55,767 --> 00:00:59,300
[narrator] And only one
will redeem their
previous loss...
21
00:00:59,367 --> 00:01:01,300
[Tim Smith]
Moonshine season is in.
22
00:01:01,367 --> 00:01:03,467
[narrator] ...to earn
the coveted title
23
00:01:03,467 --> 00:01:06,166
of Tournament
Master Distiller.
24
00:01:06,166 --> 00:01:08,367
Don't know who
to bet on at this point.
25
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,166
All right, guys, welcome back
to each and every one of you.
26
00:01:28,166 --> 00:01:31,166
You've all competed before,
you know the deal.
27
00:01:31,166 --> 00:01:33,767
You were here,
you might not have won,
28
00:01:33,767 --> 00:01:36,367
but you made a damn fine
showing of yourselves.
29
00:01:36,367 --> 00:01:40,000
Now's your ultimate
chance for redemption.
30
00:01:40,066 --> 00:01:43,767
You're all shining examples
of the legal side
of this business,
31
00:01:43,767 --> 00:01:46,567
and the illegal side
of this business.
32
00:01:46,567 --> 00:01:48,166
But at the end
of these challenges,
33
00:01:48,166 --> 00:01:49,800
there will be two of you gone.
34
00:01:49,867 --> 00:01:53,367
One on the legal side,
one on the outlaw side.
35
00:01:53,367 --> 00:01:55,200
[Mark Ramsey]
For your first challenge,
36
00:01:55,266 --> 00:01:58,100
you'll be running a corn mash
that we made up for you.
37
00:01:58,166 --> 00:01:59,767
This sets the baseline.
38
00:01:59,767 --> 00:02:02,900
You have the same mash,
the same stills,
39
00:02:02,967 --> 00:02:05,467
the only difference
in your run of liquor
40
00:02:05,467 --> 00:02:08,066
will be the skills that you
bring to the competition,
41
00:02:08,066 --> 00:02:10,667
legal or outlaw.
42
00:02:10,667 --> 00:02:14,700
We expect a smooth
95-proof throughout
this competition.
43
00:02:14,767 --> 00:02:16,166
On the legal side,
44
00:02:16,166 --> 00:02:19,100
these guys have more
experience at running
house mash.
45
00:02:19,100 --> 00:02:20,967
Consistent product
all the way.
46
00:02:20,967 --> 00:02:23,266
Yeah, you might be right, Tim,
but you gotta remember.
47
00:02:23,266 --> 00:02:26,900
There ain't no hydrometers
over there in those boxes.
48
00:02:26,967 --> 00:02:30,500
I'm gonna say team outlaws
is gonna have a little bit
of an advantage
49
00:02:30,567 --> 00:02:34,367
over the legal distillers,
unless they've been
doing their homework.
50
00:02:34,367 --> 00:02:37,700
The end of the day,
we're gonna answer that
age-old question.
51
00:02:37,767 --> 00:02:40,100
Who makes the best liquor?
52
00:02:40,100 --> 00:02:44,100
Is it the legal side,
or is it the outlaw side?
53
00:02:44,166 --> 00:02:47,667
I've been on both sides,
and even I don't know
the answer to that question.
54
00:02:48,467 --> 00:02:50,066
Tickle, tell us all about it.
55
00:02:52,367 --> 00:02:54,100
After the Revolutionary War,
56
00:02:54,100 --> 00:02:55,567
one of the first
sources of revenue
57
00:02:55,567 --> 00:02:57,767
for the US government was,
58
00:02:57,767 --> 00:03:00,867
you guessed it,
the alcohol excise tax.
59
00:03:02,266 --> 00:03:05,967
The first distilled spirit tax
was enacted in 1791.
60
00:03:05,967 --> 00:03:08,500
And as no coincidence,
61
00:03:08,567 --> 00:03:12,467
in 1791, the very first
outlaw moonshiners were born.
62
00:03:14,367 --> 00:03:17,967
When Prohibition hit in 1920
and alcohol was made illegal,
63
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,767
everyone became
an outlaw distiller.
64
00:03:21,767 --> 00:03:24,400
In 1933,
Prohibition was repealed.
65
00:03:24,467 --> 00:03:27,100
And legal distillers went back
to following federal,
66
00:03:27,100 --> 00:03:29,767
state, and local laws.
67
00:03:29,767 --> 00:03:32,367
But outlaws continued
to make liquor illegally.
68
00:03:32,367 --> 00:03:35,367
Because it really wasn't
about the law for them.
69
00:03:35,367 --> 00:03:37,667
It was about sticking it
to the tax man.
70
00:03:41,667 --> 00:03:43,266
[Mark] Whoever wins this run
71
00:03:43,266 --> 00:03:46,000
will get a hydrometer.
72
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,967
Which is gonna
be very important,
73
00:03:47,967 --> 00:03:49,667
because in your
next challenge,
74
00:03:49,667 --> 00:03:53,266
will be to rapid-age your jar
in only five hours.
75
00:03:53,266 --> 00:03:55,567
And you will be asked
to turn it in
76
00:03:55,567 --> 00:03:59,100
at exactly 95 proof.
77
00:03:59,166 --> 00:04:02,000
Since I'm the one
with a legal distillery,
I'm with the legal side.
78
00:04:02,867 --> 00:04:05,567
It's a no-brainer,
I'm with outlaws.
79
00:04:05,567 --> 00:04:06,967
I'm neutral. I'm Switzerland.
80
00:04:06,967 --> 00:04:09,200
I'll be going
between the rooms.
81
00:04:09,266 --> 00:04:10,000
Follow me.
82
00:04:12,667 --> 00:04:13,767
[Digger] All right, guys.
83
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,767
It's time for the outlaw side
to win this rascal.
84
00:04:20,500 --> 00:04:23,900
The goal here is to make
the best jar possible
85
00:04:23,967 --> 00:04:25,667
and beat the outlaw guys.
86
00:04:26,667 --> 00:04:27,767
You have three hours...
87
00:04:27,767 --> 00:04:28,800
-Time starts now.
-[Digger] ...start now.
88
00:04:28,867 --> 00:04:30,667
[Digger] Good luck, guys,
and get with it.
89
00:04:30,667 --> 00:04:32,033
[Tim Smith] Get to work.
90
00:04:36,266 --> 00:04:39,266
It's gonna be interesting
seeing what they bring
to this thing.
91
00:04:41,967 --> 00:04:43,400
How's it taste?
92
00:04:43,467 --> 00:04:45,266
I think I can do
something proper with it.
93
00:04:45,266 --> 00:04:48,500
They've all got the same
exact identical mash,
94
00:04:48,567 --> 00:04:50,567
so this is just skills.
95
00:04:50,567 --> 00:04:52,600
[Digger] I think when
it's all said and done,
96
00:04:52,667 --> 00:04:55,767
guys, I believe the outlaws
are gonna outrun
97
00:04:55,767 --> 00:04:57,667
the legal side in here.
98
00:04:57,667 --> 00:05:01,367
The skills are pretty much
even across the board.
99
00:05:01,367 --> 00:05:04,367
But, you guys are used
to operating without
100
00:05:04,367 --> 00:05:07,266
the assistance
of high-dollar equipment.
101
00:05:07,266 --> 00:05:08,567
Yep.
102
00:05:08,567 --> 00:05:10,600
[muttering] Okay, Kelley,
make sure
103
00:05:10,667 --> 00:05:12,867
you're doing what
you're doing right.
104
00:05:12,867 --> 00:05:15,000
My name's Kelley Tennille,
I'm 35 years old,
105
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,667
and I live in
Clark County, Kentucky.
106
00:05:16,667 --> 00:05:19,166
My interest in distilling
basically came
107
00:05:19,166 --> 00:05:22,700
from a distaste for any
and all authority.
108
00:05:22,767 --> 00:05:24,567
At the end of the day,
being an outlaw distiller
109
00:05:24,567 --> 00:05:27,367
allows me to be my own boss.
110
00:05:27,367 --> 00:05:31,300
Last time I was here,
um, I was in the Italian
Grappa Challenge.
111
00:05:31,367 --> 00:05:32,800
Grappa, through and through.
112
00:05:32,867 --> 00:05:34,867
Proof right on, about 95.
113
00:05:34,867 --> 00:05:36,700
No hydrometer,
you did an excellent job.
114
00:05:36,767 --> 00:05:37,767
Thank you, sir.
115
00:05:37,767 --> 00:05:39,667
It feels really good
to be back here
116
00:05:39,667 --> 00:05:42,567
and I think it's cool
that I get another chance
to showcase my skills.
117
00:05:42,567 --> 00:05:45,900
I will have my vengeance,
[chuckles] and claim
what is rightfully mine.
118
00:05:47,500 --> 00:05:50,967
-[Curtis Wickliffe]
You stuffing it?
-Why not?
119
00:05:50,967 --> 00:05:52,066
-[Curtis] Well, I mean--
-You should do it, too.
120
00:05:52,100 --> 00:05:54,100
I don't know, I want a little
flavor left in mine.
121
00:05:54,100 --> 00:05:57,500
-Ouch.
-[both laugh]
122
00:05:57,567 --> 00:05:59,700
Shots fired, shots fired.
123
00:05:59,767 --> 00:06:02,567
My name is Curtis Wickliffe,
I'm 50 years old,
from Louisville, Kentucky.
124
00:06:03,567 --> 00:06:06,567
I've been distilling
12 years now.
125
00:06:06,567 --> 00:06:09,166
Mainly doing
bourbon styles and grains.
126
00:06:09,166 --> 00:06:12,967
My first time around,
I presented
the judges whiskey.
127
00:06:12,967 --> 00:06:16,567
[Tim Smith] Curtis is spot on
with his proof with that
Kentucky-style whiskey.
128
00:06:16,567 --> 00:06:18,367
Curtis knows what he's doing.
129
00:06:18,367 --> 00:06:20,400
He just suffered
an unfortunate accident
130
00:06:20,467 --> 00:06:23,100
where he scorched that mash.
131
00:06:23,166 --> 00:06:26,867
Winning Master Distiller
would be a severe achievement.
132
00:06:26,867 --> 00:06:29,367
I would be able to take
the title home to Kentucky.
133
00:06:29,367 --> 00:06:31,367
Be a perfect piece
to put over my door
134
00:06:31,367 --> 00:06:34,000
and saying,
"Hey, this is what I've done."
135
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:39,867
[Curtis] How you
feeling, Frank?
136
00:06:39,867 --> 00:06:41,867
I ain't run nothing this small
in over a year.
137
00:06:42,567 --> 00:06:44,100
[chuckles]
138
00:06:44,166 --> 00:06:45,367
I'm Frank Hicks.
139
00:06:46,266 --> 00:06:47,867
I'm 59.
140
00:06:47,867 --> 00:06:50,266
And I'm from Huntington,
East Texas.
141
00:06:50,266 --> 00:06:52,767
I've been around moonshine
my entire life.
142
00:06:52,767 --> 00:06:54,467
I'm a fifth-generation shiner.
143
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,000
When I was here last time...
144
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,967
-Damn, that's good.
-Never tasted nothing
like that before.
145
00:07:00,967 --> 00:07:02,000
[Digger] That is good.
146
00:07:02,066 --> 00:07:04,066
This time, coming back,
147
00:07:04,066 --> 00:07:07,100
having these guys
judge my liquor again,
148
00:07:07,100 --> 00:07:11,100
I mean, they already know
what kind of shiner I am.
149
00:07:11,166 --> 00:07:13,000
I didn't bring
my A-game for this.
150
00:07:13,066 --> 00:07:16,867
I brought my
triple-A-plus game for this.
151
00:07:17,767 --> 00:07:19,367
I will have that title.
152
00:07:20,100 --> 00:07:21,567
Come on, baby, get hot.
153
00:07:23,900 --> 00:07:25,667
[Gian "GP" Nelson]
What do we have here?
154
00:07:26,667 --> 00:07:28,800
Little sour?
155
00:07:28,867 --> 00:07:31,767
Nice little corn wash.
All right. Let's get to work.
156
00:07:31,767 --> 00:07:32,867
[Trent Tilton] Whoo!
157
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:35,967
I hope y'all made us
a good wash.
158
00:07:36,867 --> 00:07:38,700
My name is Trent, I'm 42,
159
00:07:38,767 --> 00:07:40,567
and I'm from
San Diego, California.
160
00:07:40,567 --> 00:07:43,600
I am a legal distiller
and I own a distillery
in San Diego.
161
00:07:43,667 --> 00:07:46,367
I'm also a psychiatric
registered nurse,
162
00:07:46,367 --> 00:07:48,300
and I play guitar
and a symphonic,
163
00:07:48,367 --> 00:07:50,367
and an '80s metal cover band.
164
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,767
Last time I was
on this competition...
165
00:07:53,767 --> 00:07:55,667
We're gonna make
a little medicinal liquor.
166
00:07:55,667 --> 00:07:58,600
...I made something
fairly complicated.
167
00:07:58,667 --> 00:08:01,100
[Mark] Trent, man,
you're a mad scientist.
168
00:08:02,100 --> 00:08:04,567
I've never seen anything
quite like that.
169
00:08:05,367 --> 00:08:07,600
I wanna win this competition.
170
00:08:07,667 --> 00:08:09,500
There's some really killer
171
00:08:09,567 --> 00:08:11,800
legal and outlaw competitors.
172
00:08:11,867 --> 00:08:14,367
The bar, right off the bat,
it's gonna be nine out of ten.
173
00:08:14,367 --> 00:08:16,266
And I've gotta hit
11 out of 10, I think,
174
00:08:16,266 --> 00:08:17,800
in order to win
this challenge.
175
00:08:19,667 --> 00:08:21,800
-[GP] Tastes pretty good.
-[Trent] I should've
tried some.
176
00:08:21,867 --> 00:08:24,266
[GP] It's got, like, a fruity
floral note to it, so.
177
00:08:24,266 --> 00:08:25,667
See where that's gonna
come up in the still.
178
00:08:26,266 --> 00:08:28,567
I'm GP, I'm 32 years old
179
00:08:28,567 --> 00:08:30,100
and I live
in Napa, California.
180
00:08:30,100 --> 00:08:33,900
I'm a legal distiller,
and I've been distilling now
for about six years.
181
00:08:33,967 --> 00:08:37,767
Originally came from
wine making, but before that
I was in the Marine Corps.
182
00:08:37,767 --> 00:08:41,100
The last time I was
at the competition
for mountain brandy...
183
00:08:41,166 --> 00:08:43,667
[Mark] Oh, GP's making
another gin back,
184
00:08:43,667 --> 00:08:45,667
-but with different...
-Different spices.
185
00:08:45,667 --> 00:08:47,066
[Mark] ...different spices.
186
00:08:47,066 --> 00:08:49,166
-This is a pretty
complex drink.
-Thank you.
187
00:08:49,166 --> 00:08:52,600
Being here for the legal
and outlaw competition,
188
00:08:52,667 --> 00:08:54,800
I mean, to be honest,
I'm just so happy to be back.
189
00:08:54,867 --> 00:08:58,000
Um, I felt like
last time was a once
in a lifetime opportunity,
190
00:08:58,066 --> 00:08:59,500
and I get to do it twice.
191
00:09:04,266 --> 00:09:06,200
-You got a little
needle valve down there.
-[Mykala Stinson] Oh, yep.
192
00:09:07,467 --> 00:09:08,266
[Trent] Come on, little guy.
193
00:09:09,767 --> 00:09:11,500
-Mykala.
-[Mykala] Yes, sir?
194
00:09:11,567 --> 00:09:13,500
How about that mash
that you had there?
195
00:09:13,567 --> 00:09:16,567
Super tangy, uh,
I'm really excited to see
196
00:09:16,567 --> 00:09:17,767
how it comes out.
197
00:09:17,767 --> 00:09:19,567
I'm Mykala Stinson,
198
00:09:19,567 --> 00:09:22,066
I'm 34 years old and I'm from
Portland, Oregon.
199
00:09:22,066 --> 00:09:25,867
I'm the head distiller
at Shine Distillery & Grill.
200
00:09:25,867 --> 00:09:29,667
The first time that
I was here, I made absinthe.
201
00:09:29,667 --> 00:09:30,967
-[Tim Smith] Beets?
-[Mark] She did.
202
00:09:30,967 --> 00:09:33,100
I mean, no one else
has brought beets in here.
203
00:09:33,166 --> 00:09:35,367
[Mark] I found your spirit
204
00:09:35,367 --> 00:09:38,500
to be really interesting.
Very floral.
205
00:09:38,567 --> 00:09:41,066
It was harder than
it should be.
206
00:09:41,066 --> 00:09:43,000
Winning Master Distiller,
for me,
207
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,567
would be about redemption.
208
00:09:45,567 --> 00:09:47,467
I really want to come
into this one
209
00:09:47,467 --> 00:09:50,266
and try and nail it
every time.
210
00:09:50,266 --> 00:09:53,266
You know, guys, you might
be out of your element
running these stills,
211
00:09:53,266 --> 00:09:55,767
but I know back
at your legal distillery,
212
00:09:55,767 --> 00:09:58,667
you run other people's mash,
and this may
be an advantage for you.
213
00:10:03,900 --> 00:10:05,600
Two and a half hours left.
214
00:10:05,667 --> 00:10:08,066
-[Kelley] Are you
[bleep] me right now?
-[Curtis] What's wrong?
215
00:10:08,066 --> 00:10:09,367
[Kelley] I'm leaking.
216
00:10:09,367 --> 00:10:11,000
There's a tiny little leak.
217
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,166
I checked it.
218
00:10:12,967 --> 00:10:15,300
I'll dump it again. [bleep].
219
00:10:15,367 --> 00:10:17,100
I guess that just
all of the mash,
220
00:10:17,100 --> 00:10:18,867
uh, pressurized it
a little bit.
221
00:10:18,867 --> 00:10:21,567
[Curtis] A couple of cranks
on it, if it doesn't, then,
then we'll...
222
00:10:21,567 --> 00:10:24,166
[Kelley] All right.
Let's give it a minute
and see if it's...
223
00:10:25,467 --> 00:10:28,000
-[Frank] Shining 101.
-[Curtis] That's it.
224
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,400
[Kelley] [bleep].
225
00:10:39,367 --> 00:10:41,767
-[Kelley] Are you
[bleep] me right now?
-[Curtis] What's wrong?
226
00:10:41,767 --> 00:10:43,100
[Kelley] I'm leaking.
227
00:10:43,166 --> 00:10:46,100
This whole competition,
it's a huge deal.
228
00:10:46,166 --> 00:10:48,066
I can't have a leak.
229
00:10:48,066 --> 00:10:50,767
[Curtis] Don't overthink it.
Wipe the ground around it.
230
00:10:50,767 --> 00:10:52,767
So that way, you know,
you'll see fresh drops.
231
00:10:52,767 --> 00:10:54,600
[Kelley] If I lose any
alcohol vapor,
232
00:10:54,667 --> 00:10:56,867
then that's just alcohol
233
00:10:56,867 --> 00:10:59,000
that's not actually
gonna come out
in my distillate.
234
00:10:59,066 --> 00:11:01,667
-[Digger] There we go.
-Thanks, big dog.
235
00:11:01,667 --> 00:11:03,767
Yeah, I burned off
my arm hair last time.
236
00:11:03,767 --> 00:11:06,567
-[Curtis] Save your eyebrows.
-Thank you.
237
00:11:06,567 --> 00:11:08,400
[Frank] You know, the thing
about outlawing is,
238
00:11:08,467 --> 00:11:10,567
the less fun it is when
it happens,
239
00:11:10,567 --> 00:11:13,266
the funnier it is when
you tell the story.
240
00:11:13,266 --> 00:11:14,867
-Exactly.
-[Kelley laughs]
241
00:11:17,900 --> 00:11:20,000
-[GP] There we go,
there's some drips.
-[Mykala] Hey!
242
00:11:20,066 --> 00:11:21,300
[GP] It's flowing.
243
00:11:21,367 --> 00:11:24,400
[Mykala] Oh, look at you.
244
00:11:24,467 --> 00:11:26,500
Little charcoal filtering
on the fly.
245
00:11:26,567 --> 00:11:28,767
My man, Trent, now.
You're a legal distiller.
246
00:11:28,767 --> 00:11:30,567
What about your
bead-reading skills
247
00:11:30,567 --> 00:11:31,800
that you don't have
a hydrometer?
248
00:11:31,867 --> 00:11:33,367
Oh, I think I can nail that.
249
00:11:33,367 --> 00:11:34,600
[Tim Smith] Can you? Yeah?
250
00:11:34,667 --> 00:11:36,500
You're not gonna bring me
nothing that's, say, 30-proof?
251
00:11:36,567 --> 00:11:38,667
No, I'm gonna bring you 175.
252
00:11:38,667 --> 00:11:40,000
-[Tim Smith] 175?
-Yeah.
253
00:11:40,066 --> 00:11:41,400
-[Tim Smith]
Out of that still?
-No.
254
00:11:41,467 --> 00:11:43,767
[laughs]
255
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,100
At the distillery,
we have a touch screen,
256
00:11:47,166 --> 00:11:50,166
you know, so I can manipulate
the steam with a button.
257
00:11:50,166 --> 00:11:51,300
It's fun to come
out here and, like,
258
00:11:51,367 --> 00:11:53,266
-have to work a turkey burner.
-[Mykala laughs]
259
00:11:53,266 --> 00:11:54,700
Oh, there she comes.
260
00:11:54,767 --> 00:11:57,100
All right, guys.
You got two hours left.
261
00:12:00,667 --> 00:12:03,200
[Trent] That's a pretty good
spot right there.
262
00:12:03,266 --> 00:12:06,567
-[Mykala] Yay, I got drippies.
-[GP] Yeah, you're going.
263
00:12:06,567 --> 00:12:08,100
[GP] Oh, there she goes.
264
00:12:08,867 --> 00:12:10,300
All right, I'm in the fight.
265
00:12:13,700 --> 00:12:14,800
Mark.
266
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,667
Timmy, what's going on
over here on the legal side?
267
00:12:19,667 --> 00:12:20,900
[Tim Smith]
One thing I've noticed,
268
00:12:20,967 --> 00:12:23,100
a lot of these legal guys
is bringing out
269
00:12:23,100 --> 00:12:27,166
that distilled water
to temper it down,
270
00:12:27,166 --> 00:12:29,567
not looking at putting
the tails in.
271
00:12:29,567 --> 00:12:31,567
-Well...
-Were you not the outlaw guy,
more than likely
272
00:12:31,567 --> 00:12:34,600
they're gonna use the tails
to get that flavor.
273
00:12:34,667 --> 00:12:38,700
[Trent] Which way is it,
if the bubbles go away faster,
it's higher proof?
274
00:12:38,767 --> 00:12:42,467
[GP] I don't know,
I mean, that's why I have
a hydrometer every day, so.
275
00:12:42,467 --> 00:12:44,300
[laughs]
276
00:12:44,367 --> 00:12:47,500
Tim, I'm gonna get back
over and check on
my outlaw gang.
277
00:12:47,567 --> 00:12:49,166
Okay. You keep them
straight over there.
278
00:12:49,166 --> 00:12:50,567
[Mark] I'm doing
the best I can, but...
279
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,367
She's climbing.
280
00:12:56,367 --> 00:13:00,567
[Curtis] Uh-oh, here we go.
Party time. You got liquor.
281
00:13:00,567 --> 00:13:03,467
This competition is gonna
be really good,
because the outlaw side
282
00:13:03,467 --> 00:13:06,867
is very knowledgeable
and has a number of years
283
00:13:06,867 --> 00:13:08,667
doing exactly what
we're doing now.
284
00:13:08,667 --> 00:13:10,100
This is the home
field advantage.
285
00:13:10,166 --> 00:13:12,367
A pleasant shine is so divine.
286
00:13:13,266 --> 00:13:15,367
This is where the rubber
meets the road.
287
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,300
I got a liquor to the worm.
288
00:13:19,567 --> 00:13:22,367
I am very confident
in my abilities
289
00:13:22,367 --> 00:13:25,967
a superb top-shelf liquor.
290
00:13:25,967 --> 00:13:29,567
It's cooking one on one,
it ain't no big deal.
291
00:13:29,567 --> 00:13:31,867
take your time,
do what you know how to do,
292
00:13:31,867 --> 00:13:33,266
and watch the magic happen.
293
00:13:34,500 --> 00:13:35,567
Running yet?
294
00:13:35,567 --> 00:13:38,600
[Kelley] And I'm live. Boom.
295
00:13:38,667 --> 00:13:41,066
I'm happy with the liquor
that's coming off the still.
296
00:13:41,066 --> 00:13:42,700
Here she comes.
297
00:13:42,700 --> 00:13:45,100
Feel like an outlaw stiller
like me is gonna
win the competition,
298
00:13:45,100 --> 00:13:47,800
because we're versatile
and we're tough as nails.
299
00:13:47,867 --> 00:13:49,700
Now it's tasting like liquor.
300
00:13:49,767 --> 00:13:51,800
I got one hour left
in your run.
301
00:13:55,266 --> 00:13:56,500
[Frank] Still not right yet.
302
00:13:57,300 --> 00:13:59,100
Still got some cloud to it.
303
00:13:59,100 --> 00:14:00,867
Jar there looks
a little cloudy.
304
00:14:00,867 --> 00:14:03,000
[Frank] I can't get this stuff
to really clean.
305
00:14:03,767 --> 00:14:04,867
Come on, now.
306
00:14:09,967 --> 00:14:11,367
God, that smells good.
307
00:14:11,367 --> 00:14:13,667
-Trent.
-Tim, what's going on?
308
00:14:13,667 --> 00:14:14,667
Are you smelling or drinking?
309
00:14:14,667 --> 00:14:16,000
-Both.
-Both?
310
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,300
-Yeah.
-You... [laughs]
311
00:14:17,367 --> 00:14:19,000
[Tim Smith] You just about
got your jar ready.
312
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,066
[Trent] I'm drinking this jar.
I'm actually tasting these
313
00:14:21,066 --> 00:14:24,000
last couple three or four,
trying to think
about my blend.
314
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,600
And I'm thinking about
what I'm gonna do
for the rapid aging as well.
315
00:14:26,667 --> 00:14:29,567
-Well, I'll be waiting on that
for you to turn it in.
-I know you will.
316
00:14:29,567 --> 00:14:31,467
Honestly, I think the legals
317
00:14:31,467 --> 00:14:33,166
might have a little bit
of an advantage,
318
00:14:33,166 --> 00:14:36,000
just because every day
we're running our stills.
319
00:14:36,066 --> 00:14:39,400
And we're running
different types of mashes
in different washes.
320
00:14:40,867 --> 00:14:43,300
[GP] Pretty hazy. Wow.
321
00:14:43,367 --> 00:14:46,767
I think my jar
is definitely a little
hazier than I expected.
322
00:14:46,767 --> 00:14:49,367
Think that my proof
is just a little too low.
323
00:14:51,367 --> 00:14:53,467
All right guys,
you got five minutes.
324
00:14:55,266 --> 00:14:56,867
[Curtis] That funk is starting
to come off.
325
00:14:57,567 --> 00:14:59,600
That's still not clean liquor.
326
00:14:59,667 --> 00:15:01,867
-Is that with
or without water?
-With a little water.
327
00:15:03,166 --> 00:15:07,367
I'd find my
dead center heart jar
and that's where I'd come.
328
00:15:07,367 --> 00:15:10,367
The very first run,
what I'm happy with now.
329
00:15:12,300 --> 00:15:14,367
[Kelley] I think it's just,
it's my one good jar,
330
00:15:14,367 --> 00:15:16,266
it's clear enough,
it smells all right,
331
00:15:16,266 --> 00:15:17,867
so I'm just gonna
work with it.
332
00:15:17,867 --> 00:15:20,367
[Curtis] I'm officially
putting a plug in my jug.
333
00:15:20,367 --> 00:15:21,867
[Kelley] That's your jar?
334
00:15:21,867 --> 00:15:23,100
That's it.
335
00:15:23,100 --> 00:15:24,867
[Curtis] That's your buzz jar
or your 95 jar?
336
00:15:24,867 --> 00:15:26,500
[Frank] That's my only jar.
337
00:15:26,567 --> 00:15:28,900
-Here comes old Frank.
-[Mark] Bring it
in here, Frank.
338
00:15:28,967 --> 00:15:31,200
-[Mark] Good luck, buddy.
-[Frank] Thank you, sir.
339
00:15:31,266 --> 00:15:33,000
[Mark] Bring it in here, girl.
340
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,767
Good luck.
341
00:15:34,767 --> 00:15:36,100
Come on in here, big man.
342
00:15:37,367 --> 00:15:38,867
Looks good.
343
00:15:38,867 --> 00:15:40,166
[Trent] How are y'all
doing over there?
Y'all wanna turn in together?
344
00:15:40,166 --> 00:15:42,400
-Yeah. I'm set and ready.
-Let's do it together.
345
00:15:42,467 --> 00:15:44,600
All right, three of us.
346
00:15:44,667 --> 00:15:46,200
-Good luck.
-Thank you, thank you.
347
00:15:46,266 --> 00:15:47,600
I'm gonna take these with me.
348
00:15:47,667 --> 00:15:49,100
Do a little tasting,
349
00:15:49,100 --> 00:15:51,166
You should go check
on your outlaw guys
and see what they doing.
350
00:15:54,367 --> 00:15:55,867
-So let's get started.
-All right.
351
00:15:55,867 --> 00:15:57,967
Well, we only got
18 shots to go through.
352
00:15:57,967 --> 00:15:59,100
[Mark chuckles]
353
00:15:59,100 --> 00:16:00,700
[Digger] We're looking
for corn liquor,
354
00:16:00,767 --> 00:16:03,100
with the best clarity, flavor,
355
00:16:03,100 --> 00:16:04,867
and closest to that benchmark
356
00:16:04,867 --> 00:16:08,567
at 95 proof, and makes
a fine sipping liquor.
357
00:16:08,567 --> 00:16:11,367
Hey, y'all, we're back.
How'd you guys do?
358
00:16:11,367 --> 00:16:12,900
-[Frank] Don't know yet.
-[Curtis] Pretty good,
pretty good.
359
00:16:12,967 --> 00:16:14,266
-[all laughing]
-[Trent] Aw, yeah.
360
00:16:14,266 --> 00:16:16,367
[Tim Smith]
They all started
with the same mash.
361
00:16:16,367 --> 00:16:19,367
This is gonna separate them
on their distilling skills.
362
00:16:20,700 --> 00:16:23,300
-Let's get started.
This is Kelley.
-Kelley.
363
00:16:23,367 --> 00:16:24,900
She's outlaw.
364
00:16:25,867 --> 00:16:28,500
-Looks good.
-Yes, it does.
365
00:16:28,567 --> 00:16:32,266
I'm gonna say she's
right in the neighborhood
of 95 to 100 right there.
366
00:16:32,266 --> 00:16:34,100
Good-looking jar of liquor.
367
00:16:34,166 --> 00:16:36,266
[Kelley] It was definitely
difficult to clean up.
368
00:16:36,266 --> 00:16:39,367
Tails were pretty gnarly,
so I didn't touch them.
369
00:16:40,867 --> 00:16:42,900
[Digger] That's liquor.
370
00:16:42,967 --> 00:16:46,166
-Pretty tasty liquor.
-Fruity, fruity notes.
371
00:16:46,166 --> 00:16:47,567
Well, you know what's funny?
372
00:16:47,567 --> 00:16:51,567
I get a spearmint
note in there
373
00:16:51,567 --> 00:16:54,000
before it goes back
into a little bit of caramel
374
00:16:54,066 --> 00:16:57,000
and then finishes off just
with a sugar sweetness.
375
00:16:57,066 --> 00:17:00,066
-That's a good drink.
Kelley's done a good job.
-It tastes good.
376
00:17:00,066 --> 00:17:01,400
I'd put her in first
right now.
377
00:17:01,467 --> 00:17:02,700
[chuckles]
378
00:17:02,767 --> 00:17:03,900
Well, let's move on,
get another one.
379
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,467
This would be Curtis.
380
00:17:06,467 --> 00:17:08,967
-Big Curtis. He's the man.
-Curtis is the man.
381
00:17:09,667 --> 00:17:11,767
That is a real clear jar.
382
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,100
Mine ran surprisingly smooth.
I was happy with it.
383
00:17:16,166 --> 00:17:18,500
The first three jars were hot.
384
00:17:18,567 --> 00:17:21,166
Other than that, by the time
I got to four,
385
00:17:21,166 --> 00:17:23,467
uh, I was in my heavy place.
386
00:17:23,467 --> 00:17:26,100
-[Digger] Around 110,
I'd say, at least.
-[Tim Smith] Yeah.
387
00:17:28,500 --> 00:17:30,300
Little bit fiery.
388
00:17:30,367 --> 00:17:32,500
I accept a little fire
up on the front end,
389
00:17:32,567 --> 00:17:34,667
-as long as it don't
finish hot.
-[Digger] Yup.
390
00:17:34,667 --> 00:17:36,567
I would call it kind of, um,
391
00:17:36,567 --> 00:17:39,567
cinnamon and nutmeg
sugary finish.
392
00:17:39,567 --> 00:17:40,867
It's a good drink.
393
00:17:40,867 --> 00:17:42,367
-Move on.
-[Tim Smith] Yup. Frank.
394
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,567
Slim Shady. I like it.
395
00:17:45,567 --> 00:17:49,600
It took me forever
to get a clean jar.
396
00:17:49,667 --> 00:17:52,367
-That damn fine bead.
-[Tim Smith] Yeah.
397
00:17:52,367 --> 00:17:54,000
[Digger] I think he's 90, 95.
398
00:18:00,767 --> 00:18:02,400
-[Mark] Oh, that's good.
-[Digger]
Really, really smooth.
399
00:18:02,467 --> 00:18:04,900
On the back end,
it's really nice.
400
00:18:04,967 --> 00:18:06,800
-Yeah, yeah. I like that.
-[Digger] Yup.
401
00:18:06,867 --> 00:18:09,567
We've tasted all
the outlaw side.
402
00:18:09,567 --> 00:18:11,900
-Let's try
the legal distillers.
-[Tim Smith] Okay.
403
00:18:11,967 --> 00:18:13,867
-Well, this is Trent.
-[Mark laughs]
404
00:18:13,867 --> 00:18:15,367
[Digger] How do you know?
405
00:18:15,367 --> 00:18:18,400
[Mark] He wrote his
personality all over his jar.
406
00:18:18,467 --> 00:18:19,967
That looks pretty clear.
407
00:18:19,967 --> 00:18:23,300
I feel pretty good.
I feel like I put out
a good jar.
408
00:18:23,367 --> 00:18:25,767
All my liquor ran off
a piece of wood char.
409
00:18:25,767 --> 00:18:28,867
[Tim Smith] He says 100,
but I don't think,
I don't see 100.
410
00:18:28,867 --> 00:18:31,200
He oughta have
really tremendous flavor,
411
00:18:31,266 --> 00:18:33,767
-but no proof.
-[Tim Smith] Yeah.
412
00:18:33,767 --> 00:18:36,667
Right. You know,
Trent's a legal distiller.
413
00:18:36,667 --> 00:18:38,700
You know, he never works,
414
00:18:38,767 --> 00:18:40,567
I'm sure,
without a hydrometer.
415
00:18:44,567 --> 00:18:46,867
-Sweet water.
-[Tim Smith] He's got flavor.
416
00:18:46,867 --> 00:18:49,567
He made a good 70,
75 proof jar.
417
00:18:49,567 --> 00:18:51,066
He knows what he's doing.
418
00:18:51,066 --> 00:18:53,400
Moving on. All right.
419
00:18:53,467 --> 00:18:56,500
-Mykala. That is,
[chuckling] a clear jar.
-[Mark] Wow.
420
00:18:56,567 --> 00:18:57,567
-[Mark] Wow.
-Yeah, boy.
421
00:18:57,567 --> 00:19:00,066
I ended up doing three
422
00:19:00,066 --> 00:19:02,100
half jars and then a full jar,
423
00:19:02,100 --> 00:19:04,166
before I was really
happy with the hearts,
424
00:19:04,166 --> 00:19:07,367
and my final jar ended up
being a pretty good mix
425
00:19:07,367 --> 00:19:11,166
of the, like, six half-jars
in the middle.
426
00:19:13,166 --> 00:19:14,367
She's 90-proof.
427
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,200
Getting good flavor.
428
00:19:21,266 --> 00:19:23,300
Finish is way smooth.
429
00:19:23,367 --> 00:19:26,867
You know, look at those legs
crawling down that jar.
430
00:19:26,867 --> 00:19:30,200
We got a nice bootleg jar
right there that a legal
distiller just made.
431
00:19:30,266 --> 00:19:31,300
Yeah.
432
00:19:31,300 --> 00:19:36,100
Let's go into the last
testing here. That is GP?
433
00:19:36,166 --> 00:19:38,567
Mine still took forever
to heat up.
434
00:19:38,567 --> 00:19:41,266
Once I got there,
I got some good flavor
out of it.
435
00:19:42,667 --> 00:19:44,400
[Tim]
Well, the flavor's there.
436
00:19:44,467 --> 00:19:45,767
That's good sweet water.
437
00:19:45,767 --> 00:19:48,967
Yeah, the flavor's there,
but it fell short
on the proof.
438
00:19:48,967 --> 00:19:51,467
All of these guys
had the same mash,
439
00:19:51,467 --> 00:19:54,700
same type still,
they all ran it the same way.
440
00:19:54,767 --> 00:19:58,000
But one of them
stands above the rest.
441
00:20:12,867 --> 00:20:14,266
[Digger] All right, guys,
welcome back.
442
00:20:14,266 --> 00:20:18,100
How odd it is that
we can have six people
with the exact same mash,
443
00:20:18,166 --> 00:20:20,266
and each one of them come up
444
00:20:20,266 --> 00:20:21,900
with a different flavor note
445
00:20:21,967 --> 00:20:23,300
somewhere in the mix
446
00:20:23,367 --> 00:20:24,767
and on the nose as well.
447
00:20:24,767 --> 00:20:27,066
What this shows us
is each and every one of you
448
00:20:27,066 --> 00:20:28,767
brought your
individual skills,
449
00:20:28,767 --> 00:20:30,867
whether you're outlaw
or a legal distiller.
450
00:20:32,367 --> 00:20:34,967
Trent, you brought
plenty of flavor.
451
00:20:34,967 --> 00:20:38,066
Think it's just a little bit
weak on alcohol.
452
00:20:39,066 --> 00:20:40,700
Very good job.
I'm proud of you.
453
00:20:41,567 --> 00:20:43,300
All right, Mykala,
454
00:20:43,367 --> 00:20:46,667
there's not a lot I can say
except for wow.
455
00:20:47,767 --> 00:20:49,667
I mean, you nailed the proof,
456
00:20:49,667 --> 00:20:51,367
right where I want
my drinking liquor,
457
00:20:51,367 --> 00:20:54,667
I think you're
90-95 right now,
458
00:20:54,667 --> 00:20:55,867
I feel pretty positive.
459
00:20:55,867 --> 00:20:58,266
Yeah, I was shooting
for, like, 95-100.
460
00:20:58,266 --> 00:21:00,066
You knocked it
out of the park.
461
00:21:00,066 --> 00:21:02,000
-Thank you.
-[Digger] Flavor, great.
462
00:21:02,066 --> 00:21:03,667
So fine job.
463
00:21:03,667 --> 00:21:04,800
GP,
464
00:21:04,867 --> 00:21:06,500
-Yes, sir.
-[Tim Smith]
Great job distilling.
465
00:21:06,567 --> 00:21:07,600
It shows.
466
00:21:07,667 --> 00:21:10,300
You brought us
a good, clear, full jar.
467
00:21:10,367 --> 00:21:11,567
I hate to tell you though,
468
00:21:11,567 --> 00:21:14,000
but you fell real short
on your alcohol.
469
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,000
I think between us, we guessed
about 50 proof.
470
00:21:16,667 --> 00:21:19,000
But has outstanding flavor.
471
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,266
-Okay.
-[Tim Smith] Great job
distilling though.
472
00:21:21,266 --> 00:21:22,367
Thank you.
473
00:21:22,367 --> 00:21:24,200
Now let's move on
to team outlaw.
474
00:21:24,266 --> 00:21:25,500
[Mark] Kelley...
475
00:21:26,867 --> 00:21:28,867
...it's a great flavor,
476
00:21:28,867 --> 00:21:31,667
you've done a really good job,
and I'm really proud of you.
477
00:21:31,667 --> 00:21:33,100
Thank you.
478
00:21:33,867 --> 00:21:35,567
-Curtis.
-Yes, sir.
479
00:21:35,567 --> 00:21:37,467
You did a fine job.
480
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,000
Flavor's very complex.
481
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,567
I think maybe
you were a little bit high
on your proof,
482
00:21:43,166 --> 00:21:44,967
but your flavor was there,
483
00:21:45,467 --> 00:21:47,166
damn fine job.
484
00:21:47,166 --> 00:21:48,266
-Thank you.
-[Digger] Yes, sir.
485
00:21:49,066 --> 00:21:50,500
Frank, my man from Texas.
486
00:21:50,567 --> 00:21:52,800
-Yes, sir.
-[Tim Smith] Hey,
outstanding job.
487
00:21:52,867 --> 00:21:54,367
I mean, we can tell
you're outlaw
488
00:21:54,367 --> 00:21:56,467
'cause you proofed it
right on the money.
489
00:21:56,467 --> 00:21:58,266
It tastes good, it looks good,
490
00:21:58,266 --> 00:21:59,867
but it's got a little bit
of bite to it.
491
00:22:00,967 --> 00:22:02,333
You did an outstanding job.
492
00:22:02,333 --> 00:22:04,000
-[Frank] Thank you.
-You got a good jar there
to be proud of.
493
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:04,900
[Frank] Thank you.
494
00:22:04,967 --> 00:22:06,900
All right, guys, one person's
495
00:22:06,967 --> 00:22:10,166
gonna get a hydrometer
to help them through this.
496
00:22:11,467 --> 00:22:13,400
The person that's
gonna get this
497
00:22:13,467 --> 00:22:16,667
perfectly good
Proof and Tralle hydrometer...
498
00:22:18,767 --> 00:22:20,266
...is Mykala.
499
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,767
-Thank you.
-Step up, now you cannot
500
00:22:23,767 --> 00:22:25,467
let anybody borrow this.
501
00:22:25,467 --> 00:22:26,400
[Mykala] Aw.
502
00:22:26,467 --> 00:22:28,667
-You are the only one.
-[laughs] Aw.
503
00:22:28,667 --> 00:22:30,367
I wanted to be
everybody's friend.
504
00:22:30,367 --> 00:22:32,867
The hydrometer definitely
gives me a leg up
505
00:22:32,867 --> 00:22:35,767
in the next step
of the competition.
506
00:22:35,767 --> 00:22:38,467
The true test is gonna be
the rapid aging.
507
00:22:38,467 --> 00:22:41,166
We're gonna find out
who brings the best.
508
00:22:41,166 --> 00:22:43,667
[Tim Smith] Consumers want
barrel-aged products out there
509
00:22:43,667 --> 00:22:46,100
on the legal side
and the illegal side.
510
00:22:46,100 --> 00:22:48,600
We want to make
that buck quick.
511
00:22:48,667 --> 00:22:50,867
All right, guys,
coming in to this competition,
512
00:22:50,867 --> 00:22:53,467
we asked you to bring
your own tools and equipment
513
00:22:53,467 --> 00:22:55,867
to best rapid age your liquor.
514
00:22:55,867 --> 00:22:59,867
We're anxious to see
what you brought to the table
in order to do that.
515
00:22:59,867 --> 00:23:02,100
I think the legal distillers,
they have an edge in this
516
00:23:02,166 --> 00:23:05,166
because, you know,
they're doing more
rapid aging these days.
517
00:23:05,166 --> 00:23:06,467
[Digger] You know, Timmy,
at the end of the day,
518
00:23:06,467 --> 00:23:08,066
I think these
outlaw distillers
519
00:23:08,066 --> 00:23:09,567
gonna have the edge
because that's what
520
00:23:09,567 --> 00:23:11,900
outlaw distillers
been doing for years.
521
00:23:12,667 --> 00:23:14,166
At the end of this challenge,
522
00:23:14,166 --> 00:23:16,567
one legal and one
outlaw distiller
523
00:23:16,567 --> 00:23:18,100
will be going home.
524
00:23:18,166 --> 00:23:20,200
This will be
the end of the line
525
00:23:20,266 --> 00:23:21,400
for two of you.
526
00:23:21,467 --> 00:23:23,400
Bring us your best.
527
00:23:23,467 --> 00:23:25,900
All right,
your five hours starts
528
00:23:26,567 --> 00:23:27,600
now.
529
00:23:33,166 --> 00:23:34,266
[Trent] I'm a legal distiller,
530
00:23:34,266 --> 00:23:36,667
so I'm used to taking a,
like, a corn liquor
531
00:23:36,667 --> 00:23:39,166
and putting it into barrels,
and I tuck it away
532
00:23:39,166 --> 00:23:40,867
for two, three, four
533
00:23:40,867 --> 00:23:42,967
five years at a time, right?
534
00:23:42,967 --> 00:23:45,066
However, we were tasked
in five hours.
535
00:23:45,066 --> 00:23:47,367
I've got all these jars
laid out in front of me.
536
00:23:47,367 --> 00:23:49,166
I've got my American,
my French,
537
00:23:49,166 --> 00:23:52,166
I've got the Japanese,
and I've got the mahogany.
538
00:23:52,166 --> 00:23:53,400
[Digger] It's
a beautiful color,
539
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:57,867
but the flavors left behind
from mahogany are quite harsh.
540
00:23:59,367 --> 00:24:01,300
Kinda pulled out
whatever tricks I had.
541
00:24:02,867 --> 00:24:06,467
I took my liquor and washed it
over my charred wood there.
542
00:24:06,467 --> 00:24:08,000
They said rapid age.
543
00:24:08,667 --> 00:24:10,066
No doubt about that.
544
00:24:10,066 --> 00:24:11,867
Brother got color over there
already and everything.
545
00:24:12,867 --> 00:24:14,400
We got a lot of science.
546
00:24:14,467 --> 00:24:16,667
[Tim Smith] We got a lot of
technology going on here.
547
00:24:16,667 --> 00:24:19,367
This was passed down to me
from my grandfather.
548
00:24:19,367 --> 00:24:22,700
I used to watch him
take fresh white liquor
549
00:24:22,767 --> 00:24:24,900
that wasn't 12 hours
off the still,
550
00:24:24,967 --> 00:24:28,266
going to sell it
as 12 or 20-year old bourbon.
551
00:24:28,266 --> 00:24:31,266
Frank, what are you doing
with that battery charger
over there?
552
00:24:31,266 --> 00:24:33,100
[Frank] Uh,
it's electrolysis on it.
553
00:24:33,100 --> 00:24:35,467
I put the charge
through the...
554
00:24:35,467 --> 00:24:37,266
Through the liquor there,
it makes it
555
00:24:37,266 --> 00:24:40,300
go through the wood real well.
556
00:24:44,567 --> 00:24:48,867
What I'm gonna do
is add toasted spirals
557
00:24:48,867 --> 00:24:50,667
rather than add in char
558
00:24:50,667 --> 00:24:53,467
because I feel like
it won't cloud my jar up.
559
00:24:55,467 --> 00:24:57,200
For rapid aging, I'm bringing
560
00:24:57,266 --> 00:24:59,500
a super small sonic cleaner.
561
00:24:59,567 --> 00:25:00,667
It's a jewelry cleaner.
562
00:25:00,667 --> 00:25:02,467
All it's doing is
563
00:25:02,467 --> 00:25:04,100
a whole lot of agitating
564
00:25:04,166 --> 00:25:06,100
with a little bit of effort.
565
00:25:07,667 --> 00:25:10,467
I know I'm gonna want
a 10, 15-year-old bourbon,
566
00:25:10,467 --> 00:25:12,800
and unfortunately, five hours
is gonna make it tough.
567
00:25:12,867 --> 00:25:14,166
I need to eat
my spinach for this one
568
00:25:14,166 --> 00:25:16,567
'cause five hours
of shaking...
569
00:25:16,567 --> 00:25:18,667
But I think with
the ultrasonic cleaner
570
00:25:18,667 --> 00:25:19,767
and some heavy agitation,
571
00:25:19,767 --> 00:25:22,166
I might be able
to take it home.
572
00:25:22,166 --> 00:25:23,867
There we go, no we're
playing with fire.
573
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:28,266
[Mark] Well, you know, Mykala,
574
00:25:28,266 --> 00:25:30,066
she's got her
cement mixer going.
575
00:25:30,066 --> 00:25:31,867
That's a first,
but you know, honestly,
576
00:25:32,467 --> 00:25:34,000
I think it's a good idea.
577
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,000
I think my secret weapon
578
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,266
this go around
is the cement mixer.
579
00:25:39,266 --> 00:25:42,100
It's gonna provide
gentle agitation.
580
00:25:42,100 --> 00:25:44,367
I don't have to worry
about the chips degrading
581
00:25:44,367 --> 00:25:46,400
or getting a lot
of particulate in there.
582
00:25:48,066 --> 00:25:51,567
And I think that
it'll allow me to age it
583
00:25:51,567 --> 00:25:53,400
to the point that I want,
584
00:25:53,467 --> 00:25:55,000
to the flavor profile
that I want
585
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,300
without worrying as much
about over-oaking it.
586
00:25:57,367 --> 00:25:59,767
Well, I'm not the one that
brought the cement mixer,
587
00:25:59,767 --> 00:26:00,767
-but...
-[Mykala laughs]
588
00:26:00,767 --> 00:26:02,867
...I'll catch up,
don't you worry.
589
00:26:02,867 --> 00:26:04,467
Yeah, can you imagine
what that was like
590
00:26:04,467 --> 00:26:06,400
-getting on the plane?
-[GP laughing] Oh, yeah.
591
00:26:07,967 --> 00:26:09,200
[Kelley] What all have you
got over there?
592
00:26:09,266 --> 00:26:11,166
Oh, I got a bunch of,
593
00:26:11,166 --> 00:26:14,467
um, like, French oak staves
that have been charred.
594
00:26:14,467 --> 00:26:16,000
I'm gonna be doing two things.
595
00:26:16,066 --> 00:26:17,667
First I'm gonna try
to correct my proof.
596
00:26:17,667 --> 00:26:18,767
because it was so low.
597
00:26:18,767 --> 00:26:21,000
[Digger] He's cutting
a whole in that thing.
598
00:26:21,066 --> 00:26:23,900
And the second part
will be trying to age
599
00:26:23,967 --> 00:26:26,300
the, uh, spirit in five hours.
600
00:26:27,367 --> 00:26:29,667
-Ta-da!
-That'd be a new
flavored toothpaste,
601
00:26:29,667 --> 00:26:30,900
wouldn't it? Bourbon flavor.
602
00:26:30,967 --> 00:26:32,367
Maybe you ought to
get on that.
603
00:26:32,367 --> 00:26:34,000
[Mark] You know, honestly...
604
00:26:35,467 --> 00:26:38,100
...there's a whole
potpourri of things
going on here.
605
00:26:41,567 --> 00:26:43,367
[GP] Everyone's got
all these big machines...
606
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,467
...and we've got caveman,
the general contractor,
607
00:26:47,467 --> 00:26:48,600
the jeweler...
608
00:26:48,667 --> 00:26:50,367
[Kelley] The humble
toothbrush,
609
00:26:50,367 --> 00:26:52,500
the I don't know what that is,
610
00:26:52,567 --> 00:26:53,867
but I'm very into it.
611
00:26:54,767 --> 00:26:57,266
Boys and girls,
we're halfway there.
612
00:26:57,266 --> 00:26:59,900
Two and a half hours in,
two and a half hours left.
613
00:27:02,367 --> 00:27:04,166
[Tim Smith] I don't know
if they're gonna need
five hours or not.
614
00:27:04,166 --> 00:27:06,000
Hell, most of them
brown already.
615
00:27:06,066 --> 00:27:09,166
[Digger] I can see
a lot of over-oaked liquor
in our future.
616
00:27:09,166 --> 00:27:11,166
But maybe they know
something we don't.
617
00:27:13,567 --> 00:27:14,700
[Mark] Well,
I'm gonna tell you,
618
00:27:14,767 --> 00:27:16,600
I ain't got no idea
619
00:27:17,467 --> 00:27:18,700
how this is gonna go.
620
00:27:22,867 --> 00:27:23,867
One hour, guys.
621
00:27:25,100 --> 00:27:26,700
I'm seeing GP over there.
622
00:27:26,767 --> 00:27:28,200
He's pulling some of
his high shots
623
00:27:28,266 --> 00:27:30,667
to blend in
to raise up his proof.
624
00:27:30,667 --> 00:27:32,567
You know,
as a legal distiller,
625
00:27:32,567 --> 00:27:35,200
I'm for sure he's got
the blending skills to do it.
626
00:27:36,567 --> 00:27:37,900
Outlaw Curtis over here,
627
00:27:37,967 --> 00:27:40,367
he's got just exactly
the opposite problem.
628
00:27:40,367 --> 00:27:42,000
He came in too hot,
629
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,667
so he's gonna have to
bring his proof down
630
00:27:44,667 --> 00:27:46,367
by blending in
some of his tails.
631
00:27:46,367 --> 00:27:47,867
[Digger] You know,
at the end of the day,
632
00:27:47,867 --> 00:27:49,000
that's what outlaws do.
633
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:50,367
We know how to proof
our liquor down.
634
00:27:51,567 --> 00:27:53,200
-[Tim Smith] Mykala.
-[Mykala] Yes?
635
00:27:53,700 --> 00:27:55,367
Was that a can of O2
636
00:27:55,367 --> 00:27:57,200
that you just infused
in the jar
637
00:27:57,266 --> 00:27:58,567
and shut it up in there?
638
00:27:58,567 --> 00:27:59,467
-Yep.
-[Mark] Okay.
639
00:27:59,467 --> 00:28:01,367
I'm hoping that the oxygen
640
00:28:01,367 --> 00:28:06,000
will take some of the edge off
the new wood flavor and smell
641
00:28:06,066 --> 00:28:07,567
that can sometimes come from
642
00:28:08,367 --> 00:28:09,867
quick contact with wood.
643
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:14,667
-Look who's coming here.
-[Tim Smith] Mmm-hmm.
644
00:28:14,667 --> 00:28:16,667
[Digger] Ladies and gentlemen,
I'm gonna to introduce you
645
00:28:16,667 --> 00:28:17,700
to Tim Jones.
646
00:28:17,767 --> 00:28:18,967
Hey, I'm Tim.
647
00:28:18,967 --> 00:28:20,667
I'm an international
spirits judge.
648
00:28:20,667 --> 00:28:25,000
Aged spirits, of course,
are, um, trending way up.
649
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,000
and it's tough
because it takes time.
650
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,800
Everybody here's
got different methods.
651
00:28:29,867 --> 00:28:32,767
I'm hoping that somebody
cracks the code.
652
00:28:33,567 --> 00:28:35,867
Times are getting slight
there, guys,
653
00:28:35,867 --> 00:28:37,300
30 minutes.
654
00:28:37,367 --> 00:28:40,266
Trent, are you happy
with the color and the clarity
655
00:28:40,266 --> 00:28:42,000
and what you got so far?
656
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:43,800
I used four different
types of wood,
657
00:28:44,567 --> 00:28:45,900
um, all blended together.
658
00:28:45,967 --> 00:28:48,066
And I think it's
a pretty reasonable proof,
659
00:28:48,066 --> 00:28:50,667
I think it's right around 95,
where it's gotta be.
660
00:28:50,667 --> 00:28:53,667
Yeah, from here,
it's really interesting.
661
00:28:53,667 --> 00:28:55,166
-I like it.
-[Tim Jones] Yeah?
662
00:28:55,166 --> 00:28:57,000
[both laugh]
663
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:58,767
Well, we have to
have some too,
664
00:28:58,767 --> 00:29:00,100
-so you might want to
slow down a little bit.
-[laughs]
665
00:29:00,900 --> 00:29:03,000
Mykala, are you happy so far?
666
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,266
I think with the gentle
but constant agitation,
667
00:29:06,266 --> 00:29:08,467
I think I had
a lot less sediment fall off.
668
00:29:08,467 --> 00:29:10,667
Mmm, I look forward
to trying it.
669
00:29:10,667 --> 00:29:12,066
And, uh, GP,
670
00:29:12,066 --> 00:29:14,700
did you notice
the toothbrush idea,
671
00:29:14,767 --> 00:29:17,000
has it... Did it do
much for you?
672
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,500
I don't think it was
as agitating as maybe
something else.
673
00:29:19,567 --> 00:29:21,166
-[Tim Jones] Hmm.
-So I think it was
a really nice balance
674
00:29:21,166 --> 00:29:22,867
between not doing anything
675
00:29:22,867 --> 00:29:24,100
and then going
over the top and...
676
00:29:24,166 --> 00:29:25,367
-Yeah.
-...yeah.
677
00:29:26,166 --> 00:29:27,200
Great.
678
00:29:27,266 --> 00:29:28,367
And Kelley?
679
00:29:28,367 --> 00:29:30,266
I've been wildly oscillating
back and forth
680
00:29:30,266 --> 00:29:32,667
between loving it
and hating it.
681
00:29:32,667 --> 00:29:33,667
-Really?
-[Kelley] Yeah.
682
00:29:33,667 --> 00:29:35,266
But, you know,
683
00:29:35,266 --> 00:29:38,166
Mark told me that
he liked the first round's.
684
00:29:38,166 --> 00:29:39,166
Curtis, what about you?
685
00:29:39,166 --> 00:29:40,367
I'm liking the flavor,
686
00:29:40,367 --> 00:29:42,100
it doesn't have as long legs
as I would like.
687
00:29:42,567 --> 00:29:43,600
Okay.
688
00:29:44,166 --> 00:29:45,200
Frank?
689
00:29:45,266 --> 00:29:48,367
I really wish that
I could've done,
690
00:29:48,367 --> 00:29:49,600
you know,
some different stuff,
691
00:29:49,667 --> 00:29:51,967
-but, you know,
it is what it is.
-Right.
692
00:29:51,967 --> 00:29:54,767
Somewhere along the line,
I had some wood
693
00:29:54,767 --> 00:29:57,600
that wasn't... I didn't
get cleaned completely right.
694
00:29:57,667 --> 00:30:00,400
So I had some kind
of contaminate in my liquor,
695
00:30:00,467 --> 00:30:02,266
and when I added
the juice to it,
696
00:30:02,867 --> 00:30:04,166
it turned cloudy on me.
697
00:30:04,166 --> 00:30:06,467
The challenge then was
698
00:30:06,467 --> 00:30:09,400
try to take this liquor
and get the cloud out of it.
699
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,066
15 minutes, guys.
700
00:30:14,066 --> 00:30:15,800
Better put that
polish on there.
701
00:30:19,567 --> 00:30:20,600
[Mykala] Trying to
check my proof
702
00:30:20,667 --> 00:30:21,867
every time I check that.
703
00:30:21,867 --> 00:30:24,667
That way I can see, like,
what room temperature is.
704
00:30:24,667 --> 00:30:25,700
[Tim Jones] Yeah.
705
00:30:25,700 --> 00:30:28,500
Winning the hydrometer
provided a useful tool,
706
00:30:28,567 --> 00:30:29,867
but without a thermometer,
707
00:30:29,867 --> 00:30:32,900
it does not give you
a true proof.
708
00:30:32,967 --> 00:30:35,667
So I used my
initial submission
as a baseline,
709
00:30:35,667 --> 00:30:38,200
and then based my next
submission off of that.
710
00:30:38,266 --> 00:30:39,200
Got all the tools now.
711
00:30:39,266 --> 00:30:40,200
[Mykala] I know.
712
00:30:40,266 --> 00:30:41,867
If I come in last,
it's gonna be...
713
00:30:41,867 --> 00:30:42,967
-[laughing]
-...embarrassing.
714
00:30:42,967 --> 00:30:44,000
No, no, no.
715
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:46,066
Hail Mary time.
716
00:30:47,567 --> 00:30:48,367
Not sure.
717
00:30:49,767 --> 00:30:50,867
Nine,
718
00:30:50,867 --> 00:30:52,166
eight,
719
00:30:52,166 --> 00:30:53,567
seven,
720
00:30:53,567 --> 00:30:54,600
six,
721
00:30:54,667 --> 00:30:55,867
five,
722
00:30:55,867 --> 00:30:56,900
four,
723
00:30:57,467 --> 00:30:58,767
three,
724
00:30:58,767 --> 00:30:59,867
two,
725
00:30:59,867 --> 00:31:00,800
one.
726
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,900
Put your jars down, guys.
You're done.
727
00:31:05,867 --> 00:31:07,667
Whenever you're ready,
bring them up.
728
00:31:07,667 --> 00:31:08,867
-[Trent] Y'all ready?
Let's roll.
-Let's do it.
729
00:31:08,867 --> 00:31:10,000
[GP] Oh, yeah. Let's do it.
730
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:14,467
-[Trent] Boom.
-[Tim Jones]
Looking good, guys.
731
00:31:14,467 --> 00:31:16,266
Yeah.
732
00:31:16,266 --> 00:31:19,700
It's been just an honor
and a privilege for me
to watch you all work.
733
00:31:19,767 --> 00:31:22,266
Now comes our time
we've got to do our work.
734
00:31:22,266 --> 00:31:23,600
See you all shortly.
735
00:31:28,367 --> 00:31:30,667
When I'm tasting
or judging anything,
736
00:31:30,667 --> 00:31:33,767
I always look at it,
look at the color,
the clarity.
737
00:31:34,367 --> 00:31:35,367
Does it have a good nose?
738
00:31:35,367 --> 00:31:38,066
You know,
and taste
is the most important.
739
00:31:38,066 --> 00:31:42,100
In proof,
Team Outlaw is gonna have
a little bit of an advantage
740
00:31:42,100 --> 00:31:43,800
to see if their eye
can read the ...
741
00:31:43,867 --> 00:31:46,000
Yeah, and I think
it's gonna be important
742
00:31:46,066 --> 00:31:49,166
if you're a distiller
and you can't hit a proof.
743
00:31:49,166 --> 00:31:52,300
We definitely have to
take some points off
of that, too.
744
00:31:52,367 --> 00:31:56,767
Yeah. All right, guys,
we got a lot of drinking to do
in a short period of time.
745
00:31:56,767 --> 00:32:00,266
Yeah, it looks like
the front is the outlaw side,
746
00:32:00,266 --> 00:32:02,667
and Curtis is
the first one in line, so...
747
00:32:03,667 --> 00:32:04,700
Curtis.
748
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,100
You know, I mean,
Curtis has pretty nice color,
749
00:32:08,166 --> 00:32:10,800
but the clarity's,
I think it's a little cloudy.
750
00:32:10,867 --> 00:32:13,166
Started off with three jars in
so I could get
different levels.
751
00:32:13,166 --> 00:32:18,166
One was heavily oaked,
and then one was just
a really light oak,
752
00:32:18,166 --> 00:32:20,166
and then one
I was hand agitating.
753
00:32:20,166 --> 00:32:22,500
So that way I could get
three different profiles,
754
00:32:22,567 --> 00:32:24,100
and then mix with the neutral.
755
00:32:24,166 --> 00:32:25,066
Got a decent nose.
756
00:32:25,066 --> 00:32:26,367
There's a lot
of caramel in there
757
00:32:26,367 --> 00:32:28,767
on my palate.
758
00:32:28,767 --> 00:32:31,967
Well, I think
with the ultrasonic
759
00:32:31,967 --> 00:32:33,700
it's obviously adding flavor.
760
00:32:33,767 --> 00:32:37,667
So, Curtis' proof is 78.67
761
00:32:37,667 --> 00:32:40,567
-of the 75 degree temperature.
-Okay.
762
00:32:40,567 --> 00:32:43,867
Moving right along,
Texas Frank.
763
00:32:43,867 --> 00:32:46,266
Color's a little lighter
than Curtis',
764
00:32:46,266 --> 00:32:47,900
and it's a little cloudy, too.
765
00:32:47,967 --> 00:32:50,467
The white ... is fabulous
for filtering.
766
00:32:50,467 --> 00:32:55,500
Used it one time there,
and my jar went from like this
767
00:32:55,567 --> 00:32:57,066
-to like that.
-It started sucking up
768
00:32:57,066 --> 00:32:57,767
-your liquor.
-Right.
769
00:32:58,367 --> 00:33:00,066
Got a good nose.
770
00:33:00,066 --> 00:33:02,266
Using a battery charger
to age some liquor,
771
00:33:02,266 --> 00:33:04,367
I mean, that's some
outlaw technology there.
772
00:33:06,500 --> 00:33:08,867
Frank is at 101.5.
773
00:33:10,066 --> 00:33:11,000
Kelley.
774
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:12,867
The color on this
is outstanding.
775
00:33:12,867 --> 00:33:14,367
Clarity looks great.
776
00:33:14,367 --> 00:33:16,767
Towards the end,
I proofed down
777
00:33:16,767 --> 00:33:19,867
and I'm wondering
if I didn't, like,
proof down too much.
778
00:33:21,367 --> 00:33:23,266
Yeah, light on the nose.
779
00:33:23,266 --> 00:33:24,900
[Mark] Taste good.
780
00:33:24,967 --> 00:33:26,467
Think it just falls flat
in the middle
781
00:33:26,467 --> 00:33:27,767
and then opens back up again.
782
00:33:27,767 --> 00:33:29,467
[sighs] It's probably
in that 100 range,
783
00:33:29,467 --> 00:33:30,400
-I would think.
-Yeah.
784
00:33:30,467 --> 00:33:33,300
-So far, I'm not disappointed.
-Yeah.
785
00:33:33,367 --> 00:33:34,767
Well, it looks good
and tastes good.
786
00:33:34,767 --> 00:33:36,166
[Mark] What we got on there?
787
00:33:36,166 --> 00:33:40,100
We have a 99.15.
788
00:33:40,166 --> 00:33:42,867
Washes it up
through all the Outlaw side.
789
00:33:42,867 --> 00:33:44,166
Now it's on to the legal side,
790
00:33:44,166 --> 00:33:45,166
and I'm gonna say
791
00:33:45,166 --> 00:33:47,567
we're gonna see
high and low proofs on this.
792
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,100
Yeah, let's start with GP.
793
00:33:50,166 --> 00:33:51,700
-It's got a little cloudiness
-Yeah.
794
00:33:51,767 --> 00:33:52,834
-but not bad.
-Yeah, he struggled.
795
00:33:52,834 --> 00:33:55,266
[Digger]
He was really cloudy
at one point.
796
00:33:55,266 --> 00:33:56,367
I had to start from scratch.
797
00:33:56,367 --> 00:33:58,867
I already had one jar
that I thought tasted good
798
00:33:58,867 --> 00:34:00,166
but my proof was nothing,
799
00:34:00,166 --> 00:34:01,367
so I had to make sure
800
00:34:01,367 --> 00:34:04,266
that I basically started with
a new blend, a new age,
801
00:34:04,266 --> 00:34:06,066
and I tried to proof
as much as I could
802
00:34:06,066 --> 00:34:09,467
because, I mean,
what other choice did I have
this coming round?
803
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:14,000
Bit flat on the end.
804
00:34:15,100 --> 00:34:16,867
I'm still not that excited
about the flavor.
805
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,100
GP is at 95.70.
806
00:34:21,100 --> 00:34:22,967
Knowing
he's a legal distiller,
807
00:34:22,967 --> 00:34:25,100
being able to hit that
with no hydrometer,
808
00:34:25,166 --> 00:34:26,800
-that's impressive.
-Yeah, that's impressive.
809
00:34:26,867 --> 00:34:28,300
-That's impressive.
-Yeah.
810
00:34:28,367 --> 00:34:30,700
Now moving on
to the next to the last.
811
00:34:30,767 --> 00:34:32,800
-Mykala.
-[Digger] Mmm. Mykala.
812
00:34:32,867 --> 00:34:34,266
[Tim Jones] That's almost like
an apple juice
813
00:34:34,266 --> 00:34:35,600
or a cider or something.
814
00:34:35,667 --> 00:34:37,166
[Mykala] I know mine
definitely wasn't
815
00:34:37,166 --> 00:34:38,700
the darkest jar on the table,
816
00:34:38,767 --> 00:34:40,867
but my favorite thing
is scotch,
817
00:34:40,867 --> 00:34:43,567
and not all scotch
is charcoal dark.
818
00:34:43,567 --> 00:34:47,667
So I was just going for
good flavor,
819
00:34:47,667 --> 00:34:48,900
trying to hit the proof.
820
00:34:48,967 --> 00:34:50,767
[Tim Jones]
I think it almost taste
like it looks.
821
00:34:50,767 --> 00:34:52,767
It's got a weird green apple.
822
00:34:52,767 --> 00:34:54,600
-Some tartness in there.
-Yeah.
823
00:34:54,667 --> 00:34:57,266
She had the hydrometer
and she's a legal distiller,
824
00:34:57,266 --> 00:35:00,200
so hopefully she's got
the 95 proof.
825
00:35:00,266 --> 00:35:03,867
-Right at 98.
-Wow.
826
00:35:03,867 --> 00:35:05,200
Moving on.
827
00:35:05,266 --> 00:35:07,266
[Mark] Last
and certainly unique,
828
00:35:07,266 --> 00:35:08,367
Trent.
829
00:35:08,367 --> 00:35:11,667
The clarity's good,
the color is really unique.
830
00:35:11,667 --> 00:35:13,367
You can tell
he's definitely used
831
00:35:13,367 --> 00:35:14,867
different types of wood.
832
00:35:14,867 --> 00:35:17,367
I think my jar
was very wooded.
833
00:35:17,367 --> 00:35:19,266
There was definitely
some astringency.
834
00:35:19,266 --> 00:35:22,100
There was definitely
a lot of tannens
that came out.
835
00:35:22,100 --> 00:35:24,567
So I'm
a little nervous about it,
that I went too much.
836
00:35:24,567 --> 00:35:25,567
It's interesting.
837
00:35:25,567 --> 00:35:29,700
The nose is super clean.
838
00:35:29,767 --> 00:35:31,567
It's not nearly
as caramel heavy.
839
00:35:31,567 --> 00:35:32,367
[Digger] Mmm-mmm.
840
00:35:32,367 --> 00:35:34,367
I think so far, right now,
841
00:35:34,367 --> 00:35:35,867
it reminds me, like,
I want a cigar
842
00:35:35,867 --> 00:35:37,200
so bad right now.
843
00:35:37,266 --> 00:35:39,166
-It's got a smoky finish.
-And you can taste that.
844
00:35:39,166 --> 00:35:41,867
That looks like aged bourbon.
It's a perfect color.
845
00:35:41,867 --> 00:35:42,767
-[Digger] It is.
-Perfect color.
846
00:35:44,266 --> 00:35:46,667
-You're at 92.
-So he's right there.
847
00:35:47,667 --> 00:35:49,767
Gentlemen,
right now comes the point
848
00:35:49,767 --> 00:35:54,200
that we have
to eliminate one outlaw
and one legal distiller.
849
00:36:02,467 --> 00:36:05,867
I was at my brother's place,
down on the bayou there.
850
00:36:05,867 --> 00:36:08,066
There was a gator
on the porch.
851
00:36:08,066 --> 00:36:11,667
We're on the porch
trying to get him
off the porch and everything.
852
00:36:11,667 --> 00:36:14,467
I got careless,
I wasn't watching his tail.
853
00:36:14,467 --> 00:36:17,166
-[gasps]
-And he knocked my feet out
from underneath me.
854
00:36:17,166 --> 00:36:18,700
There's his eyeballs
right there.
855
00:36:19,867 --> 00:36:21,367
Bam.
856
00:36:21,367 --> 00:36:25,000
First time, he hit my arm,
knocked it up
against the post.
857
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:26,967
The second time he come around
858
00:36:26,967 --> 00:36:29,467
-he got my thumb.
-[Kelley] Oh, okay.
859
00:36:29,467 --> 00:36:33,767
-Did he eat your thumb
or was the thumb, like, found?
-No, no, it was on the porch.
860
00:36:33,767 --> 00:36:36,667
-Isn't that rude?
-[all chuckling]
861
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,367
[Digger]
We know the quality
of distillers you are.
862
00:36:46,367 --> 00:36:48,400
Becomes our job to cut one
863
00:36:48,467 --> 00:36:52,266
from each side
of this competition,
864
00:36:52,266 --> 00:36:55,100
being the legal
and the outlaw side.
865
00:36:55,100 --> 00:36:58,800
What we judged you all on
was your taste,
first and foremost,
866
00:36:58,867 --> 00:37:02,100
clarity,
and how close you came
to that 95 proof.
867
00:37:04,700 --> 00:37:06,767
We're gonna start
with Team Legal.
868
00:37:06,767 --> 00:37:09,367
Trent, I noticed
you didn't use
869
00:37:09,367 --> 00:37:12,700
any electricity
or turning things.
870
00:37:12,767 --> 00:37:14,500
You just used the wood.
871
00:37:14,567 --> 00:37:16,567
You did a great job.
872
00:37:16,567 --> 00:37:21,467
The taste and the flavor
of your blending skills
were off the charts.
873
00:37:21,467 --> 00:37:24,567
The other criteria was
we're asking you to hit
95 proof,
874
00:37:24,567 --> 00:37:26,800
and you came
really damn close.
875
00:37:26,867 --> 00:37:28,100
-92.
-[Trent whispering] Oh, yeah!
876
00:37:28,166 --> 00:37:29,100
[Tim Jones] Outstanding.
877
00:37:29,567 --> 00:37:30,567
Mykala.
878
00:37:30,567 --> 00:37:34,000
I came in and I saw
this machine in the back.
879
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:35,333
I didn't know
what was going on,
880
00:37:35,333 --> 00:37:39,500
but I'll tell you what,
it absolutely changed
the liquor.
881
00:37:39,567 --> 00:37:44,000
This liquid that I was tasting
was really clean,
it stood out.
882
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,166
It wasn't covered up
or masked.
883
00:37:46,166 --> 00:37:47,800
You had a hydrometer.
884
00:37:47,867 --> 00:37:49,967
So we're thinking about,
"She can't miss this, right?"
885
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,867
You were at 98,
so really close,
886
00:37:53,867 --> 00:37:55,867
-so outstanding jar.
-Thank you.
887
00:37:55,867 --> 00:37:57,400
GP.
888
00:37:57,467 --> 00:38:00,367
From where you started with,
with your proof,
889
00:38:00,367 --> 00:38:02,300
I mean, you did a steep 180.
890
00:38:02,867 --> 00:38:04,000
Color was good.
891
00:38:04,767 --> 00:38:06,767
Wasn't so pleasant
on the back end,
892
00:38:07,667 --> 00:38:11,567
but your proof was 95.7.
893
00:38:11,567 --> 00:38:15,467
-[laughing] No way.
-You nailed it, Doc.
894
00:38:15,467 --> 00:38:17,266
Thank you, gentlemen.
895
00:38:17,266 --> 00:38:19,800
Now let's move on
to Team Outlaw.
896
00:38:19,867 --> 00:38:23,567
Frank, you operate
like Mark and I do,
897
00:38:23,567 --> 00:38:25,367
you know, redneck ingenuity.
898
00:38:25,367 --> 00:38:27,266
And putting that spark
in your wood,
899
00:38:27,967 --> 00:38:30,667
that's exactly what that is.
900
00:38:30,667 --> 00:38:33,767
Your flavors were complex.
They were deep.
901
00:38:33,767 --> 00:38:36,900
We gave you a hallmark of 95,
902
00:38:36,967 --> 00:38:39,667
and you went to almost 102.
903
00:38:39,667 --> 00:38:43,166
-But all in all, fine drink.
-Thank you, sir.
904
00:38:43,767 --> 00:38:45,800
-Curtis.
-Yes, sir.
905
00:38:45,867 --> 00:38:47,567
[Digger] Deep, rich flavor.
906
00:38:47,567 --> 00:38:49,767
I mean, you brought it.
907
00:38:49,767 --> 00:38:52,367
A good finish start to end.
908
00:38:52,367 --> 00:38:54,600
You dropped it a little bit
with your clarity.
909
00:38:54,667 --> 00:38:58,000
There again,
the hallmark we've set
of 95 proof,
910
00:38:58,066 --> 00:39:00,100
you fell a little short again.
911
00:39:00,166 --> 00:39:03,867
You were at 79 proof
which is just under
that threshold.
912
00:39:03,867 --> 00:39:07,767
But, all in all, fine job.
Congratulations.
913
00:39:07,767 --> 00:39:08,734
Kelley.
914
00:39:10,100 --> 00:39:14,667
Tastes good,
it looks good, it smells good.
915
00:39:14,667 --> 00:39:16,567
You were a little bit off
on the proof, though.
916
00:39:16,567 --> 00:39:18,000
I got in my own head.
917
00:39:18,066 --> 00:39:20,467
You proof came out at 99.2.
918
00:39:21,767 --> 00:39:23,667
-Outstanding job.
-Thank you, sir.
919
00:39:24,700 --> 00:39:26,300
Outlaws.
920
00:39:26,367 --> 00:39:28,467
Legal kicked your hind end
on proofing.
921
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:30,700
So it goes to show
922
00:39:30,767 --> 00:39:36,266
that legal side can work
without instruments,
so kudos, guys.
923
00:39:36,266 --> 00:39:38,567
You know, we tasted
a lot of great liquor today,
924
00:39:38,567 --> 00:39:44,066
and as an added challenge,
we asked you to bring us a jar
at 95 proof.
925
00:39:44,066 --> 00:39:46,967
In our world, you know,
at the end of the day,
926
00:39:46,967 --> 00:39:51,166
flavor is what
brings customers back
for the next jar.
927
00:39:51,166 --> 00:39:56,667
So we had to use flavor
as the top indicator
for the jar that we chose,
928
00:39:56,667 --> 00:40:00,266
and I'll tell you,
it was a very,
very tough decision.
929
00:40:00,266 --> 00:40:02,166
Unfortunately,
it involves the task
930
00:40:02,166 --> 00:40:04,467
that one has to go away
from each side.
931
00:40:11,867 --> 00:40:13,000
But unfortunately...
932
00:40:14,500 --> 00:40:18,567
GP, Curtis,
y'all didn't make the cut,
933
00:40:18,567 --> 00:40:21,467
and we're gonna
have to ask you to step out.
934
00:40:21,467 --> 00:40:22,900
Gentlemen, thank you so much.
935
00:40:22,900 --> 00:40:24,500
-It's been an honor.
-[Digger] It's been
an honor and a privilege
936
00:40:24,567 --> 00:40:26,266
to judge both of you
all again.
937
00:40:26,266 --> 00:40:29,500
I came in here wanting to do
my absolute best,
938
00:40:29,567 --> 00:40:34,367
and the competition
has been incredibly stiff.
939
00:40:34,367 --> 00:40:38,200
And so I walk amongst giants,
and I'm so honored to be here.
940
00:40:38,266 --> 00:40:40,166
-We'll be here again.
-Oh, yeah, definitely.
941
00:40:40,166 --> 00:40:42,100
I just feel
a whirlwind of emotions.
942
00:40:42,100 --> 00:40:45,000
I'm upset because
I didn't win,
943
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,400
but I met
a lot of great people,
944
00:40:47,467 --> 00:40:50,667
I learned a ton of stuff
in the couple of days.
945
00:40:50,667 --> 00:40:55,166
Unfortunately,
it just wasn't my day.
It wasn't my day to shine.
946
00:40:55,166 --> 00:40:56,900
-It's been an honor.
Thank you guys so much.
-[Tim Jones] Thank you.
947
00:40:56,967 --> 00:41:00,100
-It's been all ours,
I promise you.
-Thank you, thank you.
948
00:41:00,100 --> 00:41:02,500
All right, guys,
you've made it
to the next level.
949
00:41:02,567 --> 00:41:05,500
Next time in here
it's gonna be
a whole lot tougher.
950
00:41:05,567 --> 00:41:08,100
We're fixing to ask you
to bring us lighting in a jar.
951
00:41:10,367 --> 00:41:11,467
I'm scared of you.
952
00:41:11,467 --> 00:41:13,600
[narrator] Next time
on Master Distiller,
953
00:41:13,667 --> 00:41:15,867
Legal Versus Outlaw
Tournament.
954
00:41:15,867 --> 00:41:17,567
Two of you
are going home after this.
955
00:41:17,567 --> 00:41:20,367
[Digger] One on the legal side
and one on the outlaw side.
956
00:41:20,367 --> 00:41:23,000
Outlaws,
we expect nothing more
than a mason jar.
957
00:41:23,066 --> 00:41:25,767
Legal side,
we want it in a sealed can.
958
00:41:25,767 --> 00:41:27,000
This is the make or break.
959
00:41:27,066 --> 00:41:28,867
Outlaw guys may have
a little bit of advantage,
960
00:41:28,867 --> 00:41:29,867
but we'll see.
