- Richard and his brother begin to set up their new still site to make some nostalgic cotton candy rum. All is going well, but they soon learn that their new location might just be a little too exposed.

I like these dudes because theyre not just moonshiners. They're taking a craft and making it their own
They are liquor artisans
You can’t make something your own that’s been around for thousands of years 😆
@@humbleservant1294 distilling isn't even 700 years old
@@probablynotdad6553 The inflammable nature of the exhalations of wine was already known to ancient natural philosophers such as Aristotle (384-322 BCE), Theophrastus (c. 371-287 BCE), and Pliny the Elder (23/24-79 CE).[16] However, this did not immediately lead to the isolation of alcohol, even despite the development of more advanced distillation techniques in second- and third-century Roman Egypt.[17] An important recognition, first found in one of the writings attributed to Jābir ibn Ḥayyān (ninth century CE), was that by adding salt to boiling wine, which increases the wine's relative volatility, the flammability of the resulting vapors may be enhanced.[18] The distillation of wine is attested in Arabic works attributed to al-Kindī (c. 801-873 CE) and to al-Fārābī (c. 872-950), and in the 28th book of al-Zahrāwī's (Latin: Abulcasis, 936-1013) Kitāb al-Taṣrīf (later translated into Latin as Liber servatoris).[19] In the twelfth century, recipes for the production of aqua ardens ("burning water", i.e., alcohol) by distilling wine with salt started to appear in a number of Latin works, and by the end of the thirteenth century it had become a widely known substance among Western European chemists.[20] Its medicinal properties were studied by Arnald of Villanova (1240-1311 CE) and John of Rupescissa (c. 1310-1366), the latter of whom regarded it as a life-preserving substance able to prevent all diseases (the aqua vitae or "water of life", also called by John the quintessence of wine).[21]
In China, archaeological evidence indicates that the true distillation of alcohol began during the 12th century Jin or Southern Song dynasties.[15] A still has been found at an archaeological site in Qinglong, Hebei, dating to the 12th century.[15]
In India, the true distillation of alcohol was introduced from the Middle East, and was in wide use in the Delhi Sultanate by the 14th century.[14]
The works of Taddeo Alderotti (1223-1296) describe a method for concentrating alcohol involving repeated fractional distillation through a water-cooled still, by which an alcohol purity of 90% could be obtained.[22]
In 1437, "burned water" (brandy) was mentioned in the records of the County of Katzenelnbogen in Germany.[23] It was served in a tall, narrow glass called a Goderulffe.
Second century 🤡
I see the thumbnail at first and I thought this man was holding a heart.
Only yours jesus… only yours.
same 😭😭💯
I thought it was something bloody lol
I thought it was a chicken thigh or sum shit
@@jakefromstatefarm483 yeah I can see that lol
These guys are so professional, well-spoken, and well-mannered. Need their own distillery!
Southern charm.
No ego just straight business
@Steven Universe they arent actors, they are licensed distillers that make for a virginia distillery (most of them).
@Steven Universe well considering they are making this liquor in my home town I can very much tell you this is real.
i love these guys, if i definitely want to try their liquor i bet its amazing
Richard has to be my new favorite moonshiner. It used to be Tickle (God rest his soul) but Richard just makes it all so interesting with these strange blends. Cotton candy?!
It makes sense. Cotton candy is essentially spun sugar plus artificial flavorings
I don’t believe he died
Tickle is still alive
@@razrr8484 he got married...same thing
@@christopherrollins7910 very true😂
These guys remind me of everything I did wrong growing up. My dad and his friends knew how to make everything. I didn’t absorb any of their knowledge, assuming they’d always be around.
These guys learned a lot, and they’re sharing their experience. I love seeing this.
All u do is ferment and then distill it
Google
You should absorb your own experiences then.
I've tried making a cotton candy rum (Pina Colada flavor). It didn't taste any different. I'll have to try it again.
You have your own set of interests and skills, lean into the shit you care about and you’ll be someone’s dad someday…uh wait that doesn’t sound right.
Point is, the eternal crisis of one’s inadequacy is also an invitation to always dream of an even greater reality.
I hope you find solace in the fact that the only talent in the world is the stupidity to not quit.
I like how he explains everything in detail
"I don't Smell anymore chemicals"
"Yeah I think we burned em out"
"They outta there."
Learned a lot. Keeping the temperature is THE MAIN THANG. And if you see Acetone, tell them these fellas finna burn that mfkr.
@@BackwoodBanshee There is NO acetone in cotton candy. Acetone is a product of the fermentation process. Even if they used a corn mash they would still need to boil out the acetone.
@@88Magician88 You must be the life of the party arent you. The point went WAYYY over your head. Stop thinking so hard you might break something.
@@BackwoodBanshee What point was that? The video itself is highly misleading. Acetone shows up in the fermentation process, and comes out as part of the "head". So when he was heating the bucket of sugar water there was no acetone. So if you, "learned a lot" then I guess it went WAYYY over your head. How about you try thinking? Might do some good!
@@88Magician88 Sarcasm clearly isn't your strong suit you hypergenius. Remember me when you're a billionaire, or maybe I'll say hi when I drive through the underpass.
Edit: #AcetoneCheck
“We’ll give them liquor they’ll keep they’re mouth quiet” I started laughing right here
“good ole boys”
Times have changed just about I don't know a few decades ago they would be really fucking scared if good ol boys were coming down the river
@@BlazRa ok? What’s your point
@@BROVALDES exactly what I said times have changed
@@BlazRa what does that have to do with the video though.
Really like Richards style, very laid back man. Deeply smart fella too !
What’s the point of a consumer wearing camo outside of hunting?
@@MrHasie I'm talking about his laid back personality and his flair for creating good Moonshine.
Not his sense of fashion which like every Moonshiner is "Camo chic" lol
@@MrHasie it’s a Louisiana thing, a lot of people wear camo bandannas to signify that they come from New Orleans.
_Source: I’m from Nola, born and raised since ‘89_
@@MrHasie Ppl throughout the South where camo casually.
@@MrHasie I’m wear mine to school 😂
Found a spring??? They take each of their ingredients so seriously. Love watching these guys.
That absinthe and bloody mary moonshine were SOOOooo difficult to make !
Yes its intended that way. You dont make a cake for someone with a box mix lol you use the best ingredients possible
Generally they want low concentration of iron and high concentration of calcium in the water for brewing. And spring water is ideal for that purpose.
I don't know understand how this got recommended to me but after 2 episodes I'm hooked..love the passion and energy you guys bring 💯🔥 much love from africa
It is such a great show !!!!
The fact that doing this is still illegal is just mind boggling, lol. 🤣
Its really not but just to make the show more exciting they make it look like it is
@@Niko-bf7nw you need licenses to do this stuff.
It’s illegal bc they aren’t paying taxes on it, and they aren’t paying taxes on it bc it’s illegal. $$$ is what it comes down to at the end of the day
It's legal to make a certain amount no different than making wine at home.
Can make it for yourself. Just not for sale. Just like guns.
Also fuck the ATF.
Out of all the moonshiners on this show, I think I like these guys the most.
I feel I can relate or do my batches with them without them being judgemental.
I'll phone the cops
These two men are legit entrepreneurs. You can tell they know what they're doing
I feel like "entrepreneurs" is a RACIST WHITE LIBERAL TERM to pat a shine on the back and say, "GOOD BOY".........
@@isorokudono it's not buddy, calm down, lol.
@@rockylee3000 oh trust me it is.
@@isorokudono are you offended by everything
It's TV so duh. It's all staged anyway
Please give these brothers right here a show, I know I and a whole lot of other folks would definitely watch and enjoy them!
Normally I watch these to watch some podunk hillbillies doing legal moonshining, but these lads are educational. He explains why each thing he's trying is cool and what you want out of a good water for distilling. Solid info
texas water yehaw🤠
Those podunk hillbillies are a lot smarter and more resourceful than you would ever realize but you’d rather judge them based on their appearance and dialect
@@surgeyibrahimovic5013 the whole message within their comment really went over your head didn't it, jeez
@@nicholasouellette R/Woosh
@@that1nerdyblackgirl736 you're kidding right-
these dudes are the bomb. Wish I could get my hands on some of their drinks. that Absinthe looked killer too
I’m not much of a drinker and I’ve never had moonshine but dude I can watch these guys all day they are quite fascinating
Its smooth and strong
Richard is by far my favorite moonshiner
He just puts a smile on my face
I have never seen this show before, but those two brothers make my happy to see how great they are at their craft.
I could listen to this guy forever. Give these guys another show where teams are given different ingredients that they have to make something out and then a panel of judges will rate each one to decide a winner. I promise you!
9/24
GLAD TO SEE SOME BROTHERS MAKING MOONSHINE IN THE SOUTHLAND. KEEP UP THE HARD WORK FELLAS AND THE REWARDS OF YOUR LABOR WILL COME
One of the best too
💯
WHY ARE YOU TYPING IN ALL CAPS
@@polaroidsofpolarbears365 EASEY TO SEE PEOPLE ACTUALLY READ MY COMMENTS
What a dorky comment.
He speaks so clearly for being from Louisiana. My daddy family from Slidell. They all got some thick accents lol
the bad thing is, I would see these guys in public and wouldn't hesitate to offer to help them with any physical labor they needed. They would look at me like I was a damn fed lookin for their still, while I'm just lookin to help people who are making amazing liquor
might get a taste of what the artist makes.
Had a neighbor that made moonshine back in the 2000’s and used to bring me a jar. Man I miss him.
Love watching true artist’s working their craft, fascinating!
Man the law needs to leave these men alone. They make a quality product with love and care and from what I see I'm 100% sure they sell responsibly, and with no intent to hurt anybody.
These guys are. A lot of people are not. Its like with construction. There are some great contractors, a lot of mediocre contractors, nbd more than you'd expect scammers who would put your life at risk for money. The head of a batch can literally make you blind. You gotta have a real trustworthy source. And when the market becomes hyper competitive, you get violence. These guys seem cool and seem like they do a good honest hearted bit of illegal work, its the other shady dudes that we gotta worry about.
I hope they can get their own liquor business running or something so they can sell it legally, because I don't want them to get in trouble for doing this
@@Dell-ol6hb they have the licenses needed already, everyone on the show does. It's entirely scripted to keep up the intensity
@@apunishedmannamed2473 ding, this guy here has it right.
I think we need to give Roland his respect here… he’s literally the brains to breaking down the cotton candy and ensuring what should be carried over or “boiled” out.. 😊
I dont even drink and I love watching this show lol
If I ever was to come to America, I'd come looking for you guys....good job ...I've done some moonshining here in kenya, but your guys are on another level ... I love you guys
Are you not allowed to make alcohol in Kenya without a lisence
@@goatpepperherbaltea7895 there is a huge amount of unlicensed alcohol making in Africa
@@goatpepperherbaltea7895 You need a license to commercially make alcohol in almost every country, and for a good reason too lol
Every time I see Richard making liquor I wish I could drink it lol. He makes the best looking drinks in my opinion.
I myself don't even drink, it's just a fun show to watch.
Same here. My dad and I don't drink, but we like the show.
The passion and dedication these guys have for their craft is awesome. They boil it down to a fine art (pun intended)
It's funny he kept saying acetone and he could smell the "chemicals" and acetone boiling off. The only thing he could have misread or heard was sodium acetate which is just a preservative. So funny.
Unless it somehow converts into acetone or rescts with something else, i dont think boiling it would even remove the acetate ions
@@cyruskhalvati ever boil vinegar?
@@calvinlim9485 yeah all the time, Making hot sauce. But the thing is, thats when i know the stuff in the pot.
The acetate could potentially react with some of the alcohols in the mash during the ferment. It can also mess with your yeast.
Seems odd too, the bulk cotton candy sugar that most places use doesn't even have preservatives, or anything with the word "acetate" in it. Like Gold Medal Flossugar for example, comes in big ass 1/2 gallon cartons, only has sugar, food coloring, and vanilla flavoring.
Heliotropyl acetone. All you had to do was look it up.
Such a beautiful process to get to one thing to another I still don’t understand why this is illegal people like them bring me joy
Prolly because the greedy government cannot tax it. 🙄
@@elbauzan 🎯
@@elbauzan EXACTLY RIGHT🎯
Two things I love - liquor and cotton candy! I would love to try this!!
Man this is my 6th video in a row watching these guys they're so interesting, articulate, intelligent and have passion for their craft. Please give them a show!!
Man it's nice to see people from my area!! And brothers making shine... yes sir.... proud heritage!
What area?
These guys are my favorite! I absolutely love the experimentation these guys do with alcohol
Richard Landry has so much charisma. He is so humble, polite, and driven. I think it's a no brainer that the world LOVES Southern charm. Yes sir, no ma'am, and so on.
These 2 brothers are so joy to watch making moonshine. The vibe they give makes me wanna move to L.S and shine a little bit. Seems realy layed back chilled living. Seems really smart 2. They need to get their own show and moonshine company.
I love watching these guys. They always positive about everything!
Quite amazing!
Cotton candy moonshine!
Hats off to y'all.
I'd like a taste of that now.
They are moonshine fine... Beautiful wavy hair and not a wrinkle in sight!!!! That moonshine preserved them brothers well 😍😍😍🤣😂🥂
I don't even drink alcohol or care about it in the slightest. But these two brothers are just so awesome. They are the definition of some good hearted Americans.
You know it's always nice to see your hometown in video or show. Even though I avoid da berry like it has leprosy, it's always heartwarming to see it. When I was 19 I actually was an electrical helper on remodeling the water treatment plant he's talking about that puts the fluoride and calcium in the water. Graduated from Westgate grew up down St Jude.
The moment you see they are using sugarland shine jars from mark and digger🤣
The part I love about this show since day one is, they all show where they live and they all have like 30 acres and huge workshops where they could make their moonshine with no risk, but instead drive out on to others land and set up off of hunting trails.😅😂
Man, I don’t even drink anymore but I love watching these guys. They are serious masters of their craft.
Roland is a silent genius
Dang man this is where all the brains are at, Roland is deadly on point... Got a Snoop flavour accent to boot... They make it healthy Wich is what you want 😎🙌😎🙌😎
I like when bro tests the product and articulate the flavor "Sunday morning Barrel aged, Vanilla tarnished cotton candy, with pinch of sugar" lmfaoo
Golly. I haven’t really kept up with this show in years, but seeing Richard, his brother and brother-in-law, in these clips is making want to get back into it. Richard is so intelligent, and it’s so refreshing seeing someone so educated break down the moonshining process, explaining his reasoning and giving insight into what he envisions.
They should've just used cotton candy snow cone syrup.
Or the granulated sugar that's literally made for cotton candy, Would've saved money.
@@TLKdavid yeah because most of the cotton candy is just air so they are not getting there moneys worth.
@@shami9773 one bag is a tablespoon of sugar and flavouring that's it.
it was a test
@@phuckyoutube5927 yeah that’s what I meant they are being kind of wasteful in my opinion.
Great job guys, please make more content like this.
Richard is the best person to ever be on this show for sure.
Absolute masters of there craft. Much admiration and respect
Love the moonshine videos.
I find it funny they blurred every menu item except the cotton candy at the bottom left 😍🤣🤣
I've missed the past year of Moonshiners... These 2 gentleman are top notch Moonshiners!
Totally impressed !!!!! Good going guys , creative ideas make creative $$$$ !!!
So Richard was keen to go to a certain place because they made the “best” cotton candy but then made a big point to talk about burning off the chemicals. What could possibly be in it other than some preservatives.
It seems like the color . The cotton candy was pink, and the alcohol came out clear
Hey Discovery channel!
Give this family a show, they are knowledgeable in their Craft very well educated in their product. Here is an idea for the show" contestants have too make moonshine with the ingredients given by the brothers, not only do they have to make the moonshine but they also have infused it with food or some shit"
Imagine if these men had a degree in chemistry. This is art watching these guys perfect their liquor
Been watchin moonshiners for years. These guys are the best
I WISH I COULD GET MY HANDS ON A JAR OF THAT GOOD OL MOONSHINE LOOKS FANTASTIC!!🤤🤤
6 woop woop 🚨
You've never tried? Good stuff. It's not gross like vodka or nothing. I don't know maybe expensive vodka is better but it's not like Smirnoff.
He’s repeating everything the older moonshiners taught him in that one episode when tickle brought him to Virginia
"You don't be with me because you know." *while pointing*
That had me rollin' hahahahahahah!
I gotta say your dedication is admirable. Thank you for your service. I dont drink but I appreciate the effort and drive Good job.
Damn wish I lived near these guys sounds like a good time and good drink
Yup
I wish i had a bottle of that stuff looks good
The cotton candy looked like a cow's heart in the thumbnail
Roland is sick lol we need more with all three of these guys great group
Pretty cool to see a local from my area making shine on a national platform 😎
He got his own episode, that's cool.
What episode or season is this?
These brothers are so cool ,makes one want to meet them in person just chill over some nice liquor
These guys ar chill af. Like many peole mentioned, they need their own show
the sugar content in that,you'd assume the alcohol % would be off the chain
Yeast has a big part in determining alcohol tolerance. In theory, a bakers yeast would die due to alcohol content long before a kviek or dady.
I love how they filmed this in somebody’s backyard and act like they out in the cut brewin up some shine. Threw a couple twigs on a white 55 gallon plastic barrel like that actually helped to hide it. Come on man
That’s how a lot of backyards look down here in Louisiana
'Roland is our chemist'
Roland: "I just check google"
These gentlemen are true masters of their craft.
What I’d do to spend a day with y’all lol.
What’s the point of hiding when millions know who you are on the internet?😂
Bc it’s all for show
Do you know we're it's located?
@@epicmcgriddle7874 I don’t know their exact location, but I could just turn on the tv and have enough evidence to put em all in jail
You have to be caught in the progress of making moonshine. Absent that, you cannot be charged.
@@slickwillie9526 false. It has everything to do with non-taxed shine and legal distiller being shown (like right here). SMH. Don’t talk about stuff you don’t know I’m from the south baby.
Listen to Roland talk with your eyes shut... It's Snoop! 🤣 I like the way these guys work. Give them a show of their own!
I cant get enough of these guys! Great show!
These guys really are amazing .I want to taste their stuff
What's the point of wearing camouflage when one guy wears a bright red cap?
Its not as much about being seen its about comfort. Go to Walmart or bass pro and get the 20 dollar nylon type camo pants and shirt or the more expensive kind and you will never want to take them off. Comfort,heritage, love for the country.
He is right on.
really smart white barrel showing through branches lol
These guys actually do math, unlike those other moonshiners
Lol, they also said they were burning "acetone" off of cotton candy.
The more Tipsy they get the cuter they are love it
I love the added “this is illegal so we gotta stay on our toes and watch out for the cops” aspect. It’s clearly fake, but it’s hilarious.
I love how they jumped down when the boat went by lol these guys are alright.
That sounds delicious
"Cotton Candy is somthing everyone enjoys" Takes the whole stock.
Does it
I love these dude man. They have so much passion in the craft!!
Lol when they talk, it's like they try to keep their facial expressions as dead as possible. Almost like, they could become amazing puppeteers as well.
The chemist sounds like snoop dog
Bruh cotton candy whiskey that’s gotta be the worst hangover ever
LOL I love the idea and would definitely try it but yeah Smirnoff ice/smashed is the worst hangover
“That’s the way you go to jail right there” as he broadcasts to the whole world😂😂
Ya, it's all an act. TV🙄
Love them..they need a series...
Seems weird to use cotton candy to make alcohol and boil off all the chemicals. Cotton candy is essentially just sugar, The flavour comes from the additives, AKA the chemicals, So boiling them off just leaves you with sugar
Maybe acetone has a lower boiling point than the flavor.
Flavor comes from the sugar, the chemicals are the food coloring and such.
