  • @november_whiskey85
    @november_whiskey85 2 місяці тому +23

    This is the best Brewzle video ive seen. I have always wondered why Dettling is under the radar. Its absolutely amazing. Im also in Mobile, Alabama and know Atmore very well as its only 45 mins from me. This man is quite obviously very intelligent and well spoken which gives me even higher hopes for the Dettling future. And im extremely excited to experience it and proud of them for representing our great state. Im on my 3rd bottle of tge cask strength and i have one orange label BiB. Its very rare i buy the same botlle 3 times and once this one is gone, ill be buying a 4th. Thats alot of repeats for someone, as myself, that has a 200+ bottle whiskey collection. I cant say enough about Dettling. Theyre a sleeping giant and i selfishly hope it stays that way bc thats more for me and less for the A-hole hoarders and secondary flippers that buy up all the allocated/unicorns and leave nothing for the rest of us just so they can make a dollar or add it to the multiple bottles they already have. I see people with dozens of unopened EHT, Stagg, etc and all they do is jack the price or let it collect dust. Anyways, forgive my salty rant. 😂 Try Dettling CS if u havent already! Cheers!

    • @november_whiskey85
      @november_whiskey85 Місяць тому

      @pammullin2160 the Cask Strength is my favorite. It's the dark brown label but the Bottled in Bond is alot lighter with more fruity notes and thats the red/Orange label. The only bad one is the clear whiskey they make and I've never had the green label one.

    Video idea: do livestreams with each livestream being titled as one different state each time. Use all the donations from the livestream to bourbon hunt in that state for a date a month or two in the future.
    Once you've done the hunt and spent all the donations on bourbon you hold a meet up with people from that state to have a pour of some of the bourbons they may never have the budget to taste otherwise.
    An epic way to make people's day and spread some love within the community!
    I'm from the UK and don't drink, just love the channel and would love to see some people get to experience something they may not otherwise.

      I always remember the video where you were trying some pours and chatting to a guy at the bar who was having a bad day and you let him have a pour of your bottle then gifted it to him. You gave the guy your ear and a bottle of bourbon on a day where your kindness clearly made his day exponentially better.

    My best friend processes game. He does everything the old fashioned way (cast iron kettles, old fashioned smokehouse, etc..). He refuses to expand his cooler capacity because he wants to do everything his way, and knows if he grows he's going to have to change his product. It can take up to 4 days depending on the weather to make some of our products, and he doesn't offer some products that only he and I and some of our close friends get because they are so time consuming he can't get the money for his time from the product. There's something to be said for resisting growth. He's doing this because he wants to, not because he has to.

    This is to the distiller. Just a thought here, you should build a a retaining pool for your barrels hydration with a roof above it with tin walls that go into the pool with a sprinkler or a misting system that is run off a pump. That way any excess water runoff goes back into the pool to be sprayed over the barrels again. Good Luck.

    In my opinion this video is in the top five of all of them I've seen from your channel.
    Hats off to this family's operation.
    I'm hoping one day when my daughters are old enough that I can do something similar.
    I haven't gone legal myself but on a state level it's legal in Maine.
    I can't go into specifics because of an NDA I signed recently.
    Even saying this is very questionable but... Anyways I started the beginning of the casting process for a popular TV show on the discovery channel.😉😉
    I'm hoping that prospect goes through, but I'm not gonna lose sleep over it if not.
    I'm sure it would kick my life in a different direction.
    Hopefully in a positive direction.
    At the end of the day, I like the direction my life is already in.
    I can't deviate from the original family plan.
    Even if it involves a five or six figure contract.
    Until the next one.
    Cheers Mate 💪🍻
