Thanks, Santee, for keeping our western history alive.
You're welcome!
Excellent my friend and thank you for the shout out. Cheers!
Sure, and thank you for your expertise!
Another great episode, and thanks for setting us right about the shot and the bullet thing.
I'm the guy next to Santee at the end, it was great meeting Santee and I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Old Tucson. Anyone who gets the chance should check it out.
Awesome, Jeff!! It was great to see you and you made my day.
Basically a non-drinker, but make my own beer (gluten free). Before I went to kindergarten I was taught how to distill with a great-uncle who was raised in the tradition. He came home from WWI and found the alcoholic wilson outlawed his trade. BTW, wilson died of complications from being an alcoholic. A stove top copper boiler, a mile of copper line, he and Dad made the barrels of white oak aged a year, and charred them. Every season he and I would run to abandoned farms and pick summer apples, then in the fall back to gather pears, peaches, winter apples and so on. One gallon of brandy went to the crusher (who did a half ton of fruit at a time), and the juice was put in barrels with tight lids for months. Meanwhile, greencorn sour mash, rye, and so on were perking. Dad raised pigs because pigs can eat the spent mash and not stagger around in front of revenuers. Well, not much LOL. Cattle got a little, too, but only up in the brush. Pappy and Gramps both followed the old tradition and like my uncle, made quality bootleg. No chemicals, and aged in oak casks, and delivered in them. niio
Fun info! 🥃
ALL your videos hold our interest, from beginning to end. Not only do we have the unparalleled visuals, but also your FANtastic audios. Plus, many of us learn so much, along the way. Thanks very much, Santee, and your knowledgeable guests.
🤠👏🏻🎊👏🏻☀️YIPPEE and YAHOO🍺🍻
Super kind of you to say, Rhonda!!
“If the ocean were whiskey and I was a duck…”
The good Lord created whiskey so the Irish wouldn’t rule the world! That’s always resonated with my Celtic heritage! LOL! Great one, Santee!
Thank You!
"Couldn't stop at one whiskey sour.
I had to have eight"
Great video, Santee.
Glad you enjoyed it
Whiskey, a topic near and dear to my heart. Thanks for the videos every Saturday.
Stay safe out there, and take it easy man.
🥃
This was great. As always thanks for sharing. You really uncorked this one.
HA! 🥃
That was a very interesting backstory on charring the barrels.
In the UK some brewers will buy used whiskey barrels to store their stout in. I believe something similar is done using bourbon barrels in the US.
You get the feeling you could have a good time just sniffing the barrels.
Thank You! John works in the field.
Awesome Video Thanks For Sharing 👍
You're welcome
Nice! Another classic in the can! Keep it up!!!❤
Thanks! Will do!
Great video Santee really enjoyed it. My cousin from Scotland's husband worked for a bourbon company in Scotland and transferred to Kansas.
Bourbon company in Scotland....wow!
Good info
Thank You!
Here's to You Santee for another great video. 🤠🍺
Thank You!
Good evening Santee, nothing like a fine warming sip of a good whiskey to warm the body thanks mate.
Have a blessed weekend and week
Thanks, you too! Sounds good, right?
@@ArizonaGhostriders +My pleasure mate and thanks. Definitely 😁
I met an old time moonshiner from the prohibition era and beyond. He made really good stuff. He told me to make up for the barrel color and flavor in a fresh batch they carmalized butter in a cast iron skillet and added it. You had to get the butter just right. Where there's a will someone will find a way.
I'd try that!
THANKS
Welcome
Santee's favorite drink and one of my favorite background instrumentals, Moonshine Town by JD Tundra! 🙃
Glad you enjoyed it.
🎵We'll raise up our glasses against evil forces singing whiskey for my men beer for my horses🎵
yes!
Tell you what, Santee. You can have my bourbon, if I can have your tequila!
-Desert Rat Rick
Deal.
When I saw the title, I had to pause and grab a shot of Old Overholdt.
Ahhhhh.
--'108 bottles of Beer on the wall! 108 bottles of Beer! Take one down, pass it around, 107 bottles of Beer on the wall!!!'
I can do that math...maybe.
Thank you Santee, Super as usual.
Much appreciated, Jim
The majority of whiskey bottles I find here at late 19th, early 20th century sites, are pint and half pint size embossed "Jos. Magnus Cincinnati, O." with a raging lion and quiver of arrows emblem. Those bottles date to the 1880s-1910s from what I understand, and Magnus was a bottler and distributor, not a distiller. By federal law whiskey can only be labeled as Bourbon if it was distilled in Bourbon County, Kentucky and if you find a liquor bottle that is embossed "Federal Law Prevents the Sale or Reuse" it dates to 1934-1964 when the law was changed. When Prohibition ended in 1934 the Feds didn't want bathtub gin and shine makers reusing bottles to make their stuff look legit.😂❤
Cool!
Another great one, Santee! Danny Glover in Silverado! One of my favorite Westerns!
Rock on!
"Corn whiskey, corn whiskey,
I like you pretty well,
You killed all my kinfolk and sent them to Hell,
You sent all my kinfolk on rotgut and rye,
and I guess you'll send me when I'm ready to die."
-The Limeliters (from their album "Our Men in San Francisco")
🥃🥃🥃
In a couple of Louis L'Amour's books he describes some home brews and Indian Whiskey or Corn Liquor as containing corn , fresh spring water distilled down to a mash. Then add a plug of soap to give it some body , a plug of tobacco to add some color and some raw meat to give it that old and mellow taste and let it sit and ferment for about a month. Soldiers during the Civil War would make something with bark juice and tar water plus the soap , tobacco and raw meat and corn or whatever else that was handy. This Whiskey Concoction was called by several names. Two of which were Popskull and Knock'um Stiff. I wonder what them of the old west would have thought of WW2 Pacific favorites , for the Navy "GO NAVY BEAT ARMY" was called Torpedo Juice and for the Army jungle juice.
Yes, there was even an Indian alcoholic beverage called Tiswin.
I love drinking in the knowledge, that Santee serves up.
WOoohooo!!
Excellent episode Santee! I love a good whiskey. Have a great weekend and Bottoms Up! Cheers!
Thank You!
So very awsomely interestingly informative video, i really liked and enjoyed it and learned a lot about whiskey in the old west frontier, i also got a lot of inspiration for my old west frontier, retrofuturism, retro vintage, occult , mysticism, esoteric and video games inspired writing projects.
I,m probably going to be adding whiskey to my storys world for my writing projects.
Todays story I,m writing is set in a Library and Media shop within a retro frontier wilderness town known as FaronBek City on Alessaeia Isle.
Pretty interesting!
@@ArizonaGhostriders thanks.
Right now i,m getting further inspiration from videos on bliblical scripture and texts( both canonical and non canonical), sumerian and mesopatamian mythology and demonology, other ancient demonology, angelology,the electric univers model, occult knowlege and lore( mostly theoretical and hypothetical theories) and esoteric knowledge and philosophy.
I,m also getting some inspiration from jungian psychology , magical thinking and mythoPoetic thought.
"Rafe Hollister" and his still!! He spent time in the Mayberry Jail as I recall. Deputy Fife took an ax to his still and Pow Pow Pow!! I enjoyed the coffee visit Santee! See you next week
Thank You!

🥃🥃
Tennessee Sour Mash is one of my favorite. Great Uncle Lynn made some great sour mash , he put it in glass because it would eat plastic , Here a toast to Uncle Lynn might find Whiskey.
WoW! 🥃
YEAH 🥃🤠 too the bar !
Yeehaw!
Another great video. Bravo Santee! Great job my friend
🥃🥃
Another good one Santee, thanks for sharing...
You bet
Another great episode and this one in particular wasn't hard to swallow!🥃
HAH!
Thanks for another informative video! We here in Franklin County, Virginia, "the Moonshine Capitol of the World ," aren't that familiar with charred barrels. We know a lot about jars, though.
🥃🥃
Very interesting. Thank you.
You're welcome.
I've heard about it being whiskey in the old West. There were wattlesnakes, wuffians, and wong-eared wabbits to cause mischief.
LOL!!!
Wow! That 'stache of yorn was much darker 7 years ago! 😆
Yorn? Dear God this is the Old West, not Alabama. 🥃
Thanks for info , I had always thought Jack Daniel's was the first to use charred barrels . I remember watching a program about whiskey and rum distillers and a segment of that was an interview at J. D. It was noted that the only difference between moonshine and bourbon is the charred barrel and aging process , moonshine can had "green" .
Glad you learned something new today!
Ahhhhh. A Saturday morning with Santee and a bottle of Who Hit John! But, it's a little early in the day dont you think? But, heck it's 5 o'clock somewhere, right? See ya on down the trail at the Fat Chance Saloon🤠
Sure is close to it here here across the pond. Late enough to wash down some of that trail dust in any case.
@@patron8597 Then, giddyup, pard.🤠
Yowza!
@@ArizonaGhostriders 🕔🤠
Id have a few shots with the Arizona Ghostriders
I'm there!!
Thanks, Santee! I still make my own medicine using whiskey.
Good stuff!
Used Bourbon barrels are sent to Scotland. The best Single Malts are aged in used whiskey barrels.
Very cool!
Awesome episode Santee. I gave up drinking but when I did drink old Jack Daniels was my whiskey of choice
Understandable. Good stuff
Hi Santee, here's to you Sir! Toast🥃
🤠🇺🇲
🥃
Ha! "Rub of the Brush". Good to know. Great fun to see how all this works. Seeing how the last time I took a drink was in 1975. I know, Sacrilege, right? Ha. I never ever acquired a taste for alcohol. Still, it's fun to learn from your channel. Thanks Santee.
That's ok. I'll drink for you.
Very nice! This episode goes down real smooth. Just like...... oh whats the phrase Im looking for..... Dang!
🥃🥃🥃🥃
@@ArizonaGhostriders keep up the great work, Sir!
I have tried a bit of whiskey chocolate santee I liked it.
yum!
So, Santee. Did I ever tell you about my infamous "tequila night of 1988?"
Well... In the interest of brevity, let's just say ever since then my "go to spirit of choice" has been bourbon.
True story!
*I'llneverdrinktequilaagainsmirk😏
Yeah...tequila has failed me, too.
Very interesting!
Glad you think so!
You get a lot vanillian, out of charred barrels the deeper the char the more flavor.
Yes
So Daffy Duck and Elmer Fudd break into a distillery. Daffy turns to Elmer and says: “Is this Whiskey?”
Elmer says: “Yeth but not as whiskey as wobbing a bank!!”
HA! 🥃
Back then Alcohol taxes was a major finance for the federal government. Going back to the 1890’s.
🥃
Thanks for fact-checking the shot myth, Santee. The first recorded use if the word was here in the UK somewhere in the late 17th century. There is speculation that it is a corruption of the word 'short', which was, until very recently the most often used word in the UK to describe any measure of spirits. However, the word short' may itself be derived from an old Scottish word meaning (roughly) 'to shoot', suggesting the way the measure was poured swiftly into the glass. Scotch Whisky as produced in Scotland is generally matured in barrels made from American or Eutopean Oak, with only the American ones being scorched. The European ones are very lightly burned. The barrels may have previously contained Bourbon or fortified wines such as port or sherry respectively. You may have guessed I like Whisky and words.
Cool!!! Glad you enjoyed. 🥃
GOOD VIDEO SIR,WHISKEY HAVE BEEN A PART OF OUR HISTORY FOR A WHILE.WE EVEN HAD A WHISKEY REBELLION IN THE BEGINING OF OUR COUNTRY IN 1791.WHAT SOME PEOPLE WILL DO FOR A DRINK. TAKE CARE
Thank You! 🥃

You're welcome.
Yo awesome 👌 thumbs up Big like 👍
🥃🥃 Thank You!

You too.
Another great episode Santee.

Kentucky
Oh yeah! 🥃
Cheers y'all 🥃👍
Thank You!
Well, you answered my question about a shot of whiskey,,that 12 cents a round did seem high. Geez! factory 45 Colt ammo is really expensive running a dollar a "shot".
🥃🥃
I was a bit surprised at how much champagne was available. I would have had whiskey anyway, but I never much thought of it being there. For some reason...
Yes, there was a thing called a "Champagne Flip" that was pretty popular.
Always entertaining
🥃🥃
Burt Reynolds sung about whiskey and gin in Sam Whiskey
OK!
I grew up in rural Mississippi and even as a kid I knew three places to get moonshine. It came in coke bottles, mason jars and gallon jugs. People sold it out of their house and generally you needed somebody they knew to get the stuff, but that wasn't a real problem. It was clear as water and if they added color it was generally snuff. It didn't affect the flavor because it was so rank anyway you couldn't make it worse. It was true rotgut and I am surprised I lived through it. If you were out in the woods hunting and caught a whiff of mash fermenting it was a good idea to go in the other direction. But Ms legalized alcohol in 1966. Before that the joke was the bootleggers and Baptists would stagger to the polls and vote dry.
🥃🥃
Ancient Age is probably the worst whiskey I ever drank. One shot and I tossed the rest of the bottle out!
Ugh. My experience seems similar. I can't exactly remember.
Did you ever figure out if there was any truth to what they supposedly called 1/4 Whiskey?
Excellent video as always. Entertaining and educational. Love them.
Never heard of it. Not finding anything on a quick search, either...
interesting note Jack Daniels and the first true Winchester both hit the market in 1866
Interesting 🥃
Excellent episode, and now for a couple "fun" facts about whiskey - It's spelled two different ways depending on where it originates from, "whiskey" is how it was originally spelled in Ireland, and "whisky", which is how it was originally spelled in Scotland. Also, a common cure for methanol/alcohol poisoning from bad hooch back in the day, was actually about a shot's worth of quality spirits, such as whiskey, a method that is still used to this day in certain parts of the world.
I love the world "hooch" 🥃🥃
a favorite topic 🥃🥃
Thank You!
''...Whiskey you're me Darlin', leadin' me astray...
Over hills and mountains
And to Amerikay.
Your swigger's sweet
You days are dull, You're spunkier nor Tay
Ahh Whiskey you're me darlin; Drunk or Sober...''
One bright summer morning -- about 34 years ago -- I got a call from my Business Agent. ''Get out to Mescal... Props Guy on ''Young Riders'' needs a helper.'' About 90 minutes later, I met with the production's Local 44 LA Props Head. He had a simple task for me: Make up some whiskey bottles. Get a cleaned bottle, fill it with Arrowhead water from the 5 gallon jug, and add a few drops of caramel coloring to make it look like whiskey. Then slap a label on it, and fill another one. [OK! A project I was emminently qualified for, from my long and vast experience.] The labels were all for JAMESONS IRiSH WHISKEY, my favorite flavor! [This is gonna be a cake day, I chuckled to myself.]
Using my past knowledge, I got each bottle to the fine tint of reddish dawn I knew so well.
A couple hours later the Props Guy came back to check on me. ''These are too light'', he said.
I said they were exactly the right color for Jamesons', a brew with which I'd had some intimacy.
''Well just give 'em a few drops more food coloring. The real life color will wash out in the lighting. We're shooting for Series TV.'' So all my lovely bottles of fair-haired Irish, got turned shoe polish red/brown, like Jack Daniels.
One must Suffer for Art. But that's Show Biz...
Cool!
Remember.. According to science, whiskey is a solution. 😁
I'd agree.
My father once lived in a remote town in the western desert. Once a month a black man who lived like a hermit out in the boonies would appear to buy his monthly supplies. This was over 50 years ago and the desert wasn’t known for a lot of racial diversity. (Mostly whites, some Indians and Mexicans). This man always stopped at the bar for a shot or two of whiskey before returning to his solitude. Once my dad asked him why he never bought a bottle to take with him. The man shook his head and replied simply “It never keeps.”
HAHA! 🥃

I’ll drink to that!

There has to be a few bottles of the old rot gut laying around in some basement somewhere. I don't see why a few bottles couldn't be found and taste tested. But even so, I really don't think the Whisky back then, could match what we have on the shelf today.
It couldn't. Flavors have changed and the process has refined.
Thanks Santee, for some reason I feel thirsty.
🥃
Always a good show.

CHEERS,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Great video Santee
Thank You!
Now I want some bourbon

Santee, where can I find a mail sack like a one in your videos? You make great content! Keep up the good work!
I bought it years ago....maybe from Tombstone. It's gotten some great use.
Bartender a glass of whisky. The good stuff. The one guaranteed you'll get your eyesight back or a full refund. Once you've filled in the claim form, in triplicate. Bring your own pencil.

"WHISKEY" a flavorite subject 😊

Question/concern, I was cleaning the Black Powder Rifle and the Hammer slipped on the nipple without a cap.
I've dry fired them with no problems. Shouldn't hurt it to do it once or twice. Just don't make a habit of it.
@@ArizonaGhostriders
Thanks firing it with just a cap won't hurt it either? Or, would I have to clean it again?
No powder, just the cap.
Not sure what's in a cap....likely sulfur. Might wanna clean it.
Interesting

Wow 7 years later....
Been around fer a spell, eh?

I am in Tucson or should I say Three Points visiting my parents and sister for another week.
Come down and take a tour. Tuesday-Saturday at Old Tucson and say hi to me.
I'll drink to that
