The grizzled detective isn't drinking this mixture for a good flavor, he does it because he's an alcoholic.
Yeah the whole premise is wrong. It's in the coffee cup to hide it..
And he needs that liquor so bad, that he'll drink some disgusting coffee, just for camouflage.
..... and it makes for good (?) TV.
Truth
Isn't it also usually in the morning, and he's pouring into last night's leftover coffee that's gone cold? The bourbon makes the harsh bad leftover coffee taste less bad, and also blunts the hangover.
His taste buds are long dead, like his ability to love. ever since that dame walked out of his life.
I was all in on Goats Over Night
Lmao me too! Where do I sign up? Take my money!!!
Who wants to mow and fertilize their yard over and over and over and...? NO ONE!
Goats Over Night: Problem Solved!
(My city actually has a goat program for weed control and area maintenance in public parks...has been pretty successful for several years.)
So true. I was really invested in the concept!
So. Y'all should take a barrel, fill it with coffee beans, then fill it with whiskey, and let it age for 6 months to a year. Afterwards, collect the whiskey(taste that) and let the coffee beans sun/air dry, and then grind that up and try the coffee.
didnt they do that?
Yes
So glad they went for the "Coffee Brewed in Whiskey" at the end. If they didn't, I'd have begun to question their commitment to quality shenanigan content.
I wonder what coffee cold brewed in bourbon would be like...
@@daddyspooge1 It's fantastic. I keep a bottle of it in the fridge. Mix it with a little cream. nice.
Trust me on this one:
1.5 oz bourbon
0.5 oz real maple syrup
4 oz cold brew coffee
Shake with ice and strain into your glass
I was gonna suggest cold brew myself.
@@megaexidor it is! The shaken maple syrup creates a foam that's just amazing.
Mine is Bourbon, maple syrup and yeah a bit of creamer. That’s my wknd morning
Saving for someday
Nice! I'll be trying this. Any particular bourbon u recommend?
A keurig is like you are restricting yourself to bottom shelf plastic bottle whiskey that's basically dyed paint thinner.
Get yourself some good coffee to start with so you aren't fighting stale over roasted bitterness
And use a pour over, get that plastic ish outta here
@Nopey No lol I agree on having time, I wake up a little extra early, still, it takes me about... 10-20 minutes to make about 64 ounces. The metal mesh filters help (my dad has a keurig and roasts his own beans, lol) but you still end up with a plasticy hint to it, though it could be their water source, way better than the k cups for sure, but not quite to pour over level, lol, I guess I'm a snob🤣🤷♂️.
Pour over makes even marginal coffee palatable. Love my daily cup in my Bodum pot. 4 cup pot (2 mugs) was like $20 at Walmart. I cook on propane in my RV so I don’t even need power to make my coffee. Love pour over!
I detest coffee snobs
@@jamesbaggett3655 Don't have to be a coffee snob to know that a Keurig is garbage
“Experience the purity of coffee” and pulls out cheap coffee. 😂
Yes!!! I question if kureg is even coffee. More like flavored hot water.
If they wanted easy to get, but also halfway decent, they could have used Starbucks.
Man, I thought the same exact thing!
Make the coffee in a French press!
@@lenas9487 thats not accessible enough for the common person. it takes boiling some water, stirring, and then waiting a whole ten minutes. far too arduous a process for the average keurig owner.
Their ad reads keep getting better and better
@CornPop 1962 you actually care what other people enjoy??? wow that’s so sad.
when I was in college I left a water bottle of everclear on my dorm room counter (don’t ask). The next morning my roommate unknowingly used it in his keureg, it literally exploded.
🤯🤣
Rex and Daniel, have you ever distilled an oatmeal stout?
Love the show whiskey inexperienced,but willing to learn. What would a distilled oatmeal stout taste like if finished in sherry cask?
This literally has me laughing my ass man
You are forgetting the detective doing that is just wanting the hair of the dog. He is drinking old burnt Folgers out of a paper cup and dumping some Kentucky Gentleman in it just to take the edge off.
No, the coffee is merely a socially acceptable drink to plausibly be seen with. It's all about the booze.
It’s always so funny to me that I see really serious food and alcohol people using Keurigs and Nespresso. Imagine watching a coffee channel and they whip out a bottle of Banker’s Club.
Exactly. Get a decent French press or at least just a regular coffee maker and do it right. It’s seriously cheaper to do it well that to do it with plastic shit.
As someone who is equally a coffee and a whiskey lover, I appreciate you destroying a Keurig in the name of whiskey science.
They did it so we don't have to.
Daniel seems worried he might fall from the podium he's standing on. Also, making Daniel taller makes Rex's head looks humongous. Cool trick!
I had hoped Goats Over Night was a landscaping service where goats would clear a yard of weeds and tall grass. My admiration for actually getting (renting?) a goat for the joke.
Borrowing. Bobby does rent out for stud services, but in this case he was happy to help for the price of a few apples. :)

^ Actual pitch about that exact thing on Shark Tank
"Whiskey in coffee is horrible."
Meanwhile us tea drinkers are sitting pretty with our Hot Toddys.
Sip Jameson Caskmates Stout neat, and chase it with hot, black coffee. The coffee and the finish on the whiskey complement each other perfectly.
Here I am sipping on coffee and thinking I need whisky now
Whisky & Black Coffee got me through many cold & wet Exercises with the British Army in Germany back in the 80's and 90's. Whatever Whisky was cheapest in the NAAFI, with whatever instant coffee was to hand.50/50 ratio.
Different times, and a different Army back then.
Good times.
We were all younger then too! 🤣
So I don’t normally drink flavored whiskeys but I got a peanut butter one for a present. I love peanut butter and whiskey so they thought it would be the perfect gift. It was too sweet for me to just drink but then I tried it in coffee. Changed my life it is soooooo goood!
Was it screwball? I made the mistake of trying to make an old fashioned with it. It was almost too sweet to drink.
@@michaelfranciotti3900 yes it was. I tried drinking it other ways but was too sweet. After I had it in coffee I didn’t drink it any other way.
Mix it with juice have a pb&j
@@8stringmonkey Chambord and screwball makes a tasty shot, also screwball over ice cream is dope
Jameson makes a cold brew infused whiskey. It's really good I think. Has a good taste aftertaste of coffee that doesn't battle with the whiskey. Lovely to drink on during a day off.
I haven’t tried it yet. It’s next on my list. Is that one of the caskmates? Mmmmmmm stout caskmate!
@@leemcgann6470 to be honest I'm not 100% sure. When I bought it I didn't think it was going to be good so didn't pay attention. But it is definitely worth a try I think. It says it's a limited thing but it's been in my liquor store for a little while.
@@leemcgann6470 what I'm sipping now as my nightcap! I'm quite enjoying it!
@@lenas9487 it’s on my whiskey list!
I like it too, I’ve bought 2-3 bottles over the last year. Always enjoy it. Love the Stout Caskmates though!
I’ve finally grown to drinking my coffee black and I unintentionally called it “neat” to my wife the other day and she laughed
This might be the only time where "Here smell mine" is sincere and not a gross prank
🤣🤣🤣
😆
Without any context, that phrase... lmao
I think I know what to do next: use a bottle of whiskey to cold brew the coffee.
I just made the same comment above!!! Then as I read down here you are!
that would be a coffee tincture
@@jfb8067 Haha, good to know someone has the same thought. I think Whiskey Vault introducing one bottle made in this way.
Wouldn’t be any different, you’d need a wood barrel that the whiskey was brewed in to get substantial effect
@@johngardiner8847 oh there would definitely be some difference. I'm not sure for the better. Ethanol extracts flavor compounds way better than water does. Caffeine extraction is reduced but you'd get a ridiculously robust coffee flavor. Making cocktails in a similar fashion I use an Aeropress and even a 2 minute steep with room temperature spirits and you're into the harsh, bitter flavors in even light roasts. I typically chill the spirit portion of the cocktail first, add something like 10g of coffee at around a pour-over or maybe a bit finer grind, steep for about 2:00-2:30 and push through and it really pulls out the lighter, fruiter, floral notes that I love in Ethiopian/Kenyan beans. Makes a wild Gin and Tonic, or more relevant to this channel, a great Manhattan.
First thing Rex grabs is the Glenfiddich 12 when the Keurig starts spitting out water... not the paper sitting right next to it. Good move you MB!
You're not getting pure coffee from k-cups. Something about those cups throws off the taste more than I think a lot of people realize.
Only found a few brands I like with the k cups and one is sadly pioneer women they had some amazing flavored stuff that comes out tasty and have heard good things about the community brand their drinking. But I prefer my regular ol coffee pot lol
It's not exactly the cups, it's the entire process. The coffee is pre-ground and stale, the water is not hot enough, and the brew time is about 4 times faster than it should be.
The way your brew coffee is an assault to coffee lovers all over the world.
So is that a box back there? Or did you dig a hole? Awesome episode guys, love your work!
I think Rex is sitting down
@@dishessquid2676 no, around 9 minutes Rex is jumping around
I know right! Rex having to look up was distracting me the whole episode 😂
literally on a soap box.
😂 😂 😂 😂
People: I don’t drink black coffee because it’s too harsh.
Laphroig: Hold my beer.
Le Frog: L'croak.
Haha yup. One & only time I tried Laphroig I thought “oh yeah that’s what rocket fuel tastes like) 😂
@@kelliegrant18 The thing about super medicinal peat monsters is that you discover things should you come back to them.
@@EduardoGutierrez-rr4ts I will keep that in mind. I never say never!
A shot of whiskey, and a dash of heavy cream is the move.
Putting cold coffee in your cheerios or (any other cereals) is amazing and I don't know why more people don't do it. You can even add milk if you like milk in your coffee.
Thank you sir, this will be tried this week
My buddy used to do that. One of the greatest things I’ve ever seen. I would do it if I liked cereal.
Drink what you love.. but the coffee lover in me winced hard at the Keurig...
A coffee drinker holds those sad little plastic cups of "coffee", with as much regard as a bourbon drinker holds an appletini....
Your right, this is whiskey in Keurig, not whiskey in coffee.
Their sound of good coffee being made certainly isn't mine! (Insert Kurig noises here.)
Keurig pod coffee ☕️ is like any other coffee ☕️. Some are better than others. Some good brands make pods and with refillable pods you can have any coffee ☕️ using a pod.
Now I want to see James Hoffman do a proper video on this
@@nocturnechanson Keurig is fine if you like slightly coffee flavored water, or non-coffee products (caramel mocha triple sundae coffee).
Y’all read my mind on this one. Watching this while sipping on my Saturday Kentucky coffee.
I feel like James Hoffmann should get in on this somehow
You should definitely try to just pour the room temperature whiskey through your coffee in the Chemex. You don't need to heat up the whiskey because the ethanol is doing the extraction job.
Its delicious. Trust me, I am a coffee AND whiskey nerd :-)
Trying this immediately
Yorrr coohhfeeee is crraaap (scotchish overtone voiceover)
Gentleman please try cold brewing the coffee using wiskey for 24 hours 😉
Not a bland second in this video! You guys are … simply unique!
First of all, that ad was hilarious! Second, I prefer my coffee in the morning and whiskey later. They're better separate than together. Even it you enjoy them at the same time, separate cups.
Really interesting. I am a coffee nerd (purist) now trying to get into scotch. The overlaps between tasting notes, smell are great and I think a passion for one leads to another.
I love Moka pot coffee and also Scotch whisky. I wonder if you could make Cuban style coffee with Scotch.
Same with tea
The one whiskey I like in my black coffee is the Jameson Stout caskmates.
Especially with dark roast coffee.
I put that in some homemade cocoa, so good.
I just sent my wife a link to a video with a timestamp to an ad. That's new.
But wait, what about the goats?
@@gr81disp Yeah, we were both disappointed that Goats Over Night isn't a thing.
Bobby IS available, but for locals in the area only. Sorry.
I knew an islay would not go well with coffee, but I was still curious. Thank you for jumping on that grenade for me!
I once mixed Buffalo trace into a bourbon barrel aged coffee I got from a local roaster. I thought it was pretty good.
For those who don't know, here is some coffee knowledge.. lighter roast have more caffeine then dark roast
At 10 minutes in, I was wondering "They've done the four, why is there still 14 minutes left?".
Then they bust out the cold brew.
I tip my Glencairn to you, gentlemen.
Loved the episode!
You should try Brewers toddy. During a brewday, I often take some of the hot wort and have with some Irish whisky or bourbon.
It also works mixing coffee with wort!
In Kentucky we drink Coffee with Brown Sugar (or Sorghum) and a little cream or a pat of butter.
Ratios are about half a cup of coffee (3-4 ounces), a scant jigger (1 to 1.5 ounces) of bourbon with a not-heaping spoon of brown sugar or Sorghum syrup with just a splash of cream. Lots of old-timers preferred a pat of butter to the cream, that's the way my Uncle Howard and most family like it.
My own fave:
Half cup of good rich darker coffee (about 3 ounces)
Pat of butter (about 3/8 inch slice off the stick)
Scant Jigger (slightly less than an ounce) of Bourbon (Woodford Reserve is my favorite)
Fill my spoon with sorghum syrup (less than a teaspoon) and start stirring.
Putting the cream or butter in before the bourbon helps to keep it from fuming so much.
In summer, same thing with iced coffee, but half and half instead of the butter.
After that coffee brewed with whiskey thing, you made me wonder if cold brew coffee brewed with whiskey would be even better
I enjoy a "Happy Coffee" I have milk in my coffee too.
If you can get it try Carolina Cream by Six & Twenty! The best!
Cheers boys! Well said and killing it!
I was expecting for it to end with the cold brew being made with a bottle of whiskey, no water.
Grind Expresso Shot is Rum @30% with a medium roast.. also a good blend to try if you haven’t tried it
Kentucky Knows had been doing rested beans for years with used Buffalo Trace barrels. Owner died last year. It inspired me to use the dregs of a bottle that I finish (anything barrel aged works) and pouring my cold brew or concentrate into that bottle. Lovely subtle and tasty results almost every time with no real hair of the dog required. Love the channel!
If you drink coffee with cream and sugar, it's pretty good, it's a low effort Irish (or Kentucky or Scotch) Coffee. If you drink it black.... meh.....
The key to beating the ethanol scent is to pour the alcohol in before the coffee, my go to is either jameson or kirkland canadian whiskey the flavor is amazing and its a verry cheap bottle at $20 for 1.75L so i dont feel bad about mixing it in my morning coctail
When I was a kid growing up - right after shoveling snow on our corner lot with a double driveway - my mom used to make me (and my two older brothers) a cup of coffee with cream and sugar... and a shot of Walker's Deluxe or Ten High, depending on what dad had in the house, to help us warm up. It was delicious! I'm not sure what straight whisky and coffee would taste like. I guess you could go to one of those flavored ones that Jim Beam has out like Vanilla or Carmel (?) and see where that gets ya.
Not only have y’all talked me into buying sooo many extra bottles of whiskey NOW I just bought a burr grinder, electric kettle, and a chemex to improve my coffee experience...soooo thank you!!!
Fresh coffee beans are more important.
I am a fan of the coffee whiskey and if you are going for flavor I use a N2O cream whipper to infuse coffee beans with my whiskey. the process is quick and easy; you guys should try some N2O infusions if you haven't already.
I've always loved an Irish whiskey in my black coffee. Back in the budget days, Paddy was my go to, Jameson when I could ld afford it. Nowadays, I really love Sexton in my coffee, with a wee turbinado sugar. On weekends only, of course. 😉
Teeling Small Batch in coffee or chai tea is amazing!
We used to do this in Grad School tp take edge off an all-night study session. Two Rules: Strong, Black Macro-brand coffee, and Bourbon. Beam was my go to.
I drink my coffee black and whiskey neat. Wish I could say I found the great equalizer for the mix, but when I'm in the mood it's probably an acquired taste like the sum of it's parts. Letting it cool so the sip isn't an evaporated alcohol inhale helps.
Canadian whiskey (rye) or Irish whiskey in coffee go well. Scotch or Bourbon, not so much. At least in my experience.
So I made some cold brew recently and decided that I would use my ISI whipper to make nitro cold brew with it. This was excellent. I'm now thinking what would happen if I did this with a shot of whiskey added
Could you guys try steeping cold brew coffee in whiskey??!! I’d love to see the results, and how they would it would taste diluting it with ice and hot water would change the taste! Would be a great part 2 to this.
Laphroaig in hot coffee is that scene in Major Payne, where he breaks the guy's finger to take his mind off his leg for people who think black coffee is too harsh.
I love bourbon and straight whiskey in my coffee. I drink WT101 in my coffee every weekend. For a totally different but great experience go with Dickel 12. But the Wild Turkey is where it’s at.
Your guys chemistry is always on point!!
As a coffee nerd, I was going to suggest cold brew. You get so much more potent flavor than a drip, lots of sweet and nutty flavors start showing up, and if chilled it'd go really nicely with a bourbon or irish. Nice to see it works as well as I thought! If you want to get more whiskey flavor, you can probably cut that cold brew. I don't know if you cut it there, but typically if it's freshly cold brewed it's going to be just a bit strong. Based on the end there, an espresso might be interesting as well.
Whatever coffee is left in the pot when I get home (brewed about 6 hours ago), about 1.5 oz Jameson. That has been my preferred "irish coffee" when getting home from work.
The UA-cam ad was somehow appropriate today. Right after they described the coffee a 5 second Bushes beans ad started warbling “These are the beans.” then it went back to them making coffee. 😂
When I have a cold/flu I drink hot Lemsip (hot lemon drink for colds) and whisky. It tastes nice and sorts a cold out really well.
Seeing Community makes this Louisiana boy happy!
PLEASE do a follow-up where you cold-brew a pitcher of whisk(ey). I'm willing to bet that, much like the difference between hot and cold with the mixers, you will see much different flavors. Just saying... could be fun...
I often add whisk(e)y to my coffee.
If I am going to go black coffee (cold brew is the way to go), cold brew and a really sweet bourbon is my favorite. I use Wild Turkey American Honey. On the odd day I do hot black coffee and whisk(e)y, I tend to add a pour of my An Oa to it.
My sister-in-law said it best, "It takes like hate and salt" after accidentally drinking my coffee. (To add to the sacrilege, the coffee was Café Bustelo).
The other times, when I add whiskey to coffee, it is in an Irish Coffee. Nothing like some lovely heavy cream sweetened with some lovely dark brown sugar, a hearty 2 oz pour of whatever my budget Irish is at the moment (normally Jameson, but sometimes Tullamore Dew). It's a glorious thing to enjoy, while sitting back and relaxing.
Coffee and whiskey do work but you need really good pour over black coffee and really good, smooth bourbon. But it's like a cocktail so you don't wanna got totally top shelf. Like a good evan Williams single barrel maybe.
I would suggest making a cold brew out of whiskey instead of water. Works great with tea as well. A cold bottle of Powers, 100gramms of Earl grey and 5 hours make some damn good results
I've been wanting to do this with tea and Whiskey myself
Us coffee lovers in Melbourne Aus are dying inside watching you drink that sewer water you call coffee.
I actually enjoy mixing hot chocolate mix, coffee, and whiskey. I find it nice. There definitely needs to be some kind of sweetener in there, though.
Ive found myself mixing some mr black and 101 for a nightcap on a regular basis recently. I think bourbon and cold brew coffee liquor marries really well
The sipping cream moon shine especially the butter pecan works grate with coffee
The strawberry and orange version work even better with hot chocolate.
I don't mind scotchee every once in a while. You have to pour the scotch first though so the alcohol mixes in to the coffee and doesn't just sit on top.
I drink my coffee black two sugar. I love whiskey in my coffee. Coffee mug, three teaspoons sugar, covered with whiskey on hand, fill with coffee. Repeat as needed! Keep up the good work guys.
If I am doing a coffee and whiskey I think my favorite has been nika coffey. Floral to match the coffee floral notes.
Thank you for this episode. I laughed out loud and found your conclusions satisfying. Honestly, sometimes things just don’t mix well, like water and breakfast cereal. I’m not a fan of the cold brew either. I’m sure you’ll find justice for that lady some day.
I love Captain Morgans Private stock rum in black cold brew coffee with ice.
it would be interesting to try with espresso. Besides just the simplest form of adding whiskey to espresso; adding it to the milk, frothing the milk and making like a cappachino with it. Or just trying to make something similar to a white russian but with espresso, whiskey, and milk.
The ad then the last experiment. I needed that laugh so bad. Thanks!
If the primary concern is that the coffee is too hot and watery, maybe try chilling espresso? Espresso martinis are delicious, but I would love a way to substitute whiskey in for the vodka
Try a peated single malt whiskey. A good scotch or Connemara peated Irish whiskey. Connemara is my favorite for this. Mix it in equal parts with a strong black coffee preferably made by pour over or French press and only subtly bitter at most. Then sweeten to your taste with pure maple syrup and sip hot.
Also goes great alongside a stack of fresh buckwheat pancakes with butter and maple syrup and some good bacon.
I’ve been drinking coffee black for four decades. And scotch almost as long. 😁
Don’t like Irish cream in it like so many people do.
I do like Canadian rye whisky in my coffee occasionally. CC, Gibson’s, Wiser are my most common ryes.
I love scotch, many Irish and some bourbons. None of them in coffee.
Cheers 🇨🇦
I do like a strong bourbon in an itilian roast coffee in the evening. I usually use something strong like Jim beam devils cut.
Agreed, whisky and coffee is soso at best unless an Irish coffee...but Islay whisky in hot chocolate is a must....chocolate and peat/smoke works so well together
Just had my first 2 whiskeys last night ever at 32 years old. Never drank growing up (personal reasons).
I had a Glenlivet "double oak" single malt, single barrel (12 year I believe) and a monkey shoulder, both neat. Honestly all my pallet could comprehend was alcohol. I did get a little buzz going which was enjoyable. Laughed more than usual (I live alone with my 3 dogs). Slept like a rock which was amazing.
Gonna keep trying because I'm very curious and I just dropped quite a bit of limited cash on whiskey.
Very timely video for me. Today I tried JTS Brown BiB in my coffee for first time and I loved it. Drink what you want how you want out of your glsss/cup/mug. Is Rex in a pit for this video or is Daniel using lifts again?
When I first tried island scotch a few months ago (Laphroaig 10) I ended up with the idea to steep coffee into it as a cold brew, using the same technique as you would with water. It is an intense and unique experience. I call it Orc-Brew, because it's the kind of thing orcs would drink, and it's my hypothesis that this is exactly what Ugluk gave to Merry and Pippin to keep them from collapsing to exhaustion in The Two Towers. I want to take the brew a step farther by adding spices to it, probably black pepper at the very least, but this is an expensive experiment so I've been putting it off. I'll get around to it soon and maybe come back to this comment to report my results.
You should try this with a French press. The French press changes the flavor of coffee, often removing much of the bitterness.
I love Rye in my coffee. I live in the frozen north and I wonder if climate/location helps the flavor or if it just sucks to be in Canada and I am an alcoholic.
Haven’t watched many of your newer videos. Your (g)oats over night got me laughing, and it’s been a pretty terrible day so far, so that laugh was appreciated
