The “will it distill?” is easily the best thing ever on this channel

So you basically made Ultra Extreme Peppermint Schnapps. *Awesome*

And in this episode, Daniel is dressed as one of the Highlanders that hid from all of society for 1000's of years under the mean streets of Texarkana, only to get his head chopped off by Connor MacLeod in the first 5 minutes of the 3rd movie as he surfaced to get a bacon and egg McGriddle and a 40oz.

It’s honestly just fun to pause the video at random times and see all of Brianas hilarious faces… Everytime you pause you get a new potential thumbnail 😂

This just struck me as a very DnD setup with Dan's hoodie and all of the reactions. Dan is the Whiskey Wizard, Breanna the Barbarian and Rex the Innkeeper NPC.

I love how happy and excited you all looked after tasting the 151 proof, like Christmas morning

While watching this at Christmas, I had a thought. My heritage is Lithuanian and the national drink of Lithuania is a krupnik, (called Krupnikas in Lithuania), which is a traditional sweet alcoholic drink similar to a liqueur, based on grain spirit, (usually vodka nowadays), and honey. I've read that it's early origins come from an ancient Mongol drink. Lithuanian people often make their own at home, including at Christmas, and there are many family recipe variations. Traditional versions will use 80-100% grain alcohol as the base. Honey, usually clover honey, is the main ingredient used to add sweetness, as well as up to 50 different herbs. I'd love to see if you guys can not only make it, but maybe create a new spirit by combining the spices and honey and fermenting that base, rather than just making Krupnikas with an existing spirit. Here is one recipe as an example: Krupnikas Lithuanian Honey Liqueur Ingredients 2 teaspoons caraway seed 10 whole cloves 10 whole allspice 4 sticks cinnamon 2 sticks vanilla 2 pieces yellow ginger 2 pieces white ginger 10 cardamom seeds ½ nutmeg 3 strips orange rind 3 strips lemon rind 1 pinch saffron 4 cups water 2 lbs honey 1 quart grain alcohol Procedure Crack cardamom seeds and nutmeg. Boil spices, rind and water in a covered pot until liquid is reduced to about 2 cups. Strain. In a pot large enough to hold the spiced liquid, alcohol and honey, bring honey to a boil. Skim off the foam. Pour spiced liquid into honey and stir. Remove from heat. Place far away from heat to prevent flare-up or explosion of alcohol. Slowly, and very carefully, pour in alcohol. Replace pot on low heat. Heat, being careful not to simmer or boil, for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool in the same covered pot overnight. Following day, pour into bottles and allow to settle (about 2 weeks). The longer it sits, the clearer it becomes and the better it tastes.

In fairness I’d imagine the candy cane infusion literally has sugar in it. So to compare the oils + flavors it might be necessary to add a comparable amount of sugar into the distilled version. But that red flavor though

Just as a tip to deal with the freezing weather, open the taps just a bit so you have moving water which will help keep pipes and stuff from freezing.

I feel like Rex and Briana are always hopped up on sugar and caffeine. "Here we see two of the species in their natural habitat. They will keep this pace for hours on end never blinking."

Here's a Christmas joke for Briana: It's 5PM on Christmas Eve and nothing is ready to go at the North Pole. The elves are on strike, the reindeer has diarrhea, and Mrs. Claus is fed up and threatening to leave. In the midst of the chaos, an angel drags in a Christmas tree and bright says "Santa, where do you want me to put this?" And that is why there's an angel at the top of the Christmas tree.

Something so sweet about seeing a father and daughter doing candy canes together =P

Endless laughs caused by you three. Cheers and Merry Christmas.

You've tried Durian Fruit, Watermelon, and after this, I'd be curious to see what distilling a pineapple 🍍 would look, smell, and taste like whether it's similar to the Candy Canes, or not with that Mint note.

Awesome video guys, thanks

Man I’d love to buy a bottle of the 150 peppermint.

I wonder how it would be if you barrel aged it?

I love y'all's energy it's so awesome

Glad I stuck around to the end. Excited for Phoenix!

This video is the first video I have watched from your channel and you honestly gave a good laugh, the energy you bring to this entertaining video is amazing 100/10

Thank you guys for always making me laugh. Have a wonderful Christmas

Briana's facial expressions... priceless! Merry Christmas to you guys!

Peppermint is almost impossible to get rid of. Once it is part of something it stays part of it. You should try this with milder mints like winter mint and spearmint. They are not as overpowering as peppermint but still give that refreshing feel and taste.

It would be interesting to see where the peppermint flavor (and other terpenoids) came out in the distillation vs ethanol. My guess is there is a cut that has an ideal mixture of both. If you know someone with a GC-MS, that'll give you the answer.

Chaotic energy permeates throughout this entire video and I live for it.

Dan's jedi robe outfit maybe the best part of this awesome video

You guys have the best fun.

you guys really picked an amazing song for this one, too!

I can taste peppermint coming through the video 😂

Great way to start Christmas Eve!

That ninja catch at 16:23 - The skills! That got the sub. Rock star!

you guys are infectious! I love it

This was the perfect video to watch after having a joint, laughed all the way through 😂

Great video, y’all! Now with Christmas and New Year’s almost over I guess the next major holiday is Easter. Can’t wait for you guys to distill some Cadbury Eggs!

Love these videos, but I’ve been re-watching a lot of the whiskey curious videos where you introduce people to different whiskey categories. I think those are the best and would love to see some new episodes like that.

You guys have WAY to much fun

Love the facial expressions on Briana. You three make watching the tasting of liquor a real treat.

Merry Christmas you mbs

Awesome! As fast as it sold out last time I thought I missed it again. I was wrong. 😅

Love the chaotic siblings vibe here. lol. Like doing insane experiments with your brother and sister at Christmas.

The excitement you guys have making random alcohol really just makes my days. 😂

First video I've seen of yours. This was chaotic. Loved it.

You've obviously never tried peppermint extract. It's quite the experience 🤣🤣

Merry Christmas al you beautiful bastards from mine to yours all the way From New Jersey

Santa's elves really feeling that holiday cheer after a glass of this.

I needed this laugh, thank you!!

i dont even drink but i find myself binge watching yalls channel after finding it yesterday haha yall are to damn funny

older aircraft survival kits came with bricks of shelf stable foodstuffs(5 year shelf/2 service); one of the blocks was wintergreen.

One thing about it, if you test enough of these they will all start to taste good! Great video

I tried some shine that was made with the wintergreen mints that old people always have in their candy bowls and it was amazing, so I can only imagine out good that would be. We mixed it with mudslide mix and it tasted like an extreme girl scout cookie. I think it was about 130 proof according to the forest/hill person who made it. This was in Southern Indiana like 15 minutes from Kentucky, so if you know the area I'm sure you know exactly what I mean with my description of the guy.

Perfect for a christmasy screwdriver!

reinvented rumple mintz.... always good on a cold day

When I used to pound cane at home. We used little mirrors and razor blades.

not even two minutes in and this video is just over the top

Extreamly suprised to see The PHOENIX back in stock.

Some friends and I did this at my house 3 years ago, still some of the most memorable spirits we've made. We laughed for like 10 minutes straight after taking the first sip and realizing the mint flavours were still present (and strong as hell)

Add it to a sweet, coffee/chocolate-based cocktail of some kind! That could be awesome!

Peppermint is an oil so I wonder if that was the film, also with oils and fats I wonder if a vacuum distillation would help with cutting the oil.

Will it distill....is the best thing on KZfaq totally all around! I don't ever laugh so dahm hard 😫 watching anything else!

"Tastes like f*** yeah" is quite possibly the best advertising I've heard

You guys should try fermenting grape molasses now idk if it will have any sort of result but its an idea that I've always wanted to try

Mr black is so good. I bought some Mr Black Bundy Rum, so with the added flavours of coconut and rum, but have yet to try it.

Many years ago I put a handful of mary jane in a bottle of 190 proof everclear and let it sit on a shelf for a month. Strained it out afterwards and it made some fantastic cocktails!!

You need to try and distill MENTOS!!!! Specifically I feel that the Green apple or Strawberry would be amazing! The sugar content shouldn't be a problem so it would be straight down to flavor! if it works the cocktails I feel you would be able create from it would be INSANE! I would love to see it in a cocktail with 1-2 Mentos dropped in as garnish because of the effect! As they dissolve they let off a ton of color streamers in alcohol so a swirl of the glass I think would be very visually appealing)

just on that mr black ad. I happen to live right near where that is made in australia. i dont like coffee and i LOVE it. Its seriously good. So if youre not into coffee who cares, its just damn good.

Beating that candy cane like it owed you money...lol. Great video.

You should wrap your rain barrel in insulation especially around the spicket part where that broke or build a greenhouse type thing to keep it warm so it doesn't freeze again I live in NY Just a tip

The ammount of love and care i have for Brianna is beyond me. I must protect her at all cost.

I'm drinking candy cane green tea whilst watching this. It's definitely more tame than what you drank.

One for-minted drink coming up 😁 🎄🎅

I want this bottle of candy cane! 🍻🔥😆

In Germany we have a peppermint liquor called Pfeffi that every 16 year old brings to parties because it's like 3€ a bottle and you don't really taste the alcohol I have made a lot of bad and good memories with this drink lmao

the stabilized camera gets me every time XDDD

You guys are going to have the freshest breath though after drinking what is essentially alcoholic mouthwash.

@Whiskey Tribe would love to see you distill cotton candy

Great jobs guys always, I wish you and and all those at crowded barrel and wizards academy, all your families Merry Christmas and happy new year. 🎉

We now need peppermint cocktail episode with the peppermint spirit!!!

I recommend fermenting and distilling pawpaws.

Just saying, I have some Mr. Black, and it's fantastic.

Sounds like you made Everclear coming off the still. Great episode.

Every episode of the whiskey tribe should be a distillery equipment producer's PSA on how to void warranties.

It would probably make a killer peppermint schnapps!

You should try a drink called "Marianne". It's usually made with Peppermint vodka, but could work with your candy cane version. The recipe is: in a glass. ice, pour in 20ml candycane alcohol, 20ml chocolate liquor, top with milk. It's popular a christmassy drink or when you go skiing. Also works anywhere anytime you want an easy dessert drink.

Not gonna lie, that gin intrigued me! I really like Roku Gin. I bet that would make an interesting Gin and Tonic!

Scored my bottle!!!!! 😁

The residual powder at the base of the nose and above the lips was referred to as "VCR" to those who enjoyed it. VCR = Visible "Candy" Residue

Whoever edited this video clearly had some fun

Land sakes, man! You've discovered elemental Rumple Minze! This is awesome.

After Farscape and SG-1, I never thought a KZfaq moonshine channel would be the next place I saw Claudia Black.

You should add the mintspirit as a finish in a pink panther. May sound strange but it really works. Or just do as we do in Scandinavia and add it to hot chocolate 😁😁

It's a balmy -27⁰ here... now that's cold 😉

I want to make like a peppermint irish coffee sort of thing with this...

"you are mistaken." Perfect lol

Not a drinker but love the content and if I do drink it's Jacky D for me might catch some slack but that's ok

brianna is such a treat. i can see her after a few drinks being sooo toxic lol

Need a supercut of everyone's faces as they try these experiments.

I have no idea how this video got into my recommended page but I am not even one minute in and I’m already laughing hysterically I think I’m gonna have a good time here

Have you tried distilling Captan Crunch? There’s a lot of versions but the mix of very sugary, but with that corn grain might make for a fun take on a Bourbon.

Thanks for the scientific investigation. As entertaining as usual.

I quite literally paused the video, and went and made a Mr Black and Egg Nog. That was fantastic.
