He is so happy to be out of the office and on this assignment. He was like "i have to go to a whiskey maker and get drunk? I am paid right?"
Just replying in acknowledgment that you commented. Take care
😂
Bourbon
I get to take the same size shot they'd sample someone at the liquor store? HELL YEAH!
😂😂😂😂
This guy is so excited to do things people are tired of doing every day lol
And gets payed more..
and knows he doesn't have to go back
Lol thats cos he dont work dere he just a visitor
that is also the entire premise of dirty jobs
its like having kids…. its alot easier when they arent yours cause you can go home at the end of the day and have your peace 😂 knowing you aint gotta deal w it tomorrow
Good video. But to clarify one point, the lake water is ONLY used during the mash phase. They use distilled water to cut the bourbon down after it's removed from the barrels. I just did the Maker Mark tour 2 weeks ago, and this question was asked and answered by the tour guide.
Dang, I really enjoy the complexity and tasting notes of small mouth bass and flatheads in my bourbon.
@@mytmousemalibuI personally loves the notes of that sour fish eggs taste mixed with that vibrant contrasting moss notes. Just makes it that much better
I’m a SOUTH Korean and a big fan of Maker’s Mark. My Japanese friend also likes Maker’s Mark. Thanks for your work so we can enjoy your great masterpiece!
You're welcome from Kentucky

@@user-fx5xw5bp2w If you can't drink alcohol, you've lost half your life.
My favorite fact from my tour that was missed here: They drop the bottles into the boxes so that if they break they will fail in the factory and not at the liquor store. When you go into the gift shop the tiles on the floor behind the counter are cracked from bottles that dropped and didn’t break, but broke the tiles.
12:50 Here's the glimpse of how they drop the bottle into the box.
I noticed they were dropping em in the boxes and I was thinking man, they go through all those processes to make a high quality product and this dude is just dropping the bottles in there lol
I like comments like this. Its a bonus.
I don't understand why you would want to drop the bottles at all??
they are made of glass, of course they can possibly break...
Why would they think just because it didn't break at the factory, that it won't break when the guy at the liquor store drops it?
Does that make sense?
just because they dropped it in the box at the factory and it didn't break doesn't make it Unbreakable?
I don't know I guess I just don't understand why you'd want to drop a glass bottle at all considering every time it doesn't brake, you're just lucky and it could definitely break the next time...
This comment for quality control makes absolutely no sense.
They also sell the used barrels - and I personally use the barrel wood to smoke meat.. Freaking amazing!
Scotland buys them to put their scotch in…
I bet that smells divine when the wood is burning 😋
Yea Jack Daniels sells there barrels in charcoal bags.
They also make nice flower pots when you cut them in half
I know tequila makers buys those used barrels. That helps with taste on tequila
The respect these folks there have for their product and it's history is wonderful. You can't help but be a fan after visiting. The bourbon is awesome too!

Having been a dyed in the wool rusted on Jack drinker for 30 years, I recently tried MM for the first time and was like "HELLO" where have you been all this time. Needless to say this Aussie is now a convert to this sweet elixir.
I’ve always loved Makers. Solid, reliable and tasty! I think it gets lost somewhat with some of today’s whiskey snobbery, but seeing this production process makes me appreciate it more.
YO BRO 30 YEARS IS A LONG TIME. MAYBE DRINK WATER FOR ONCE FUCKJING IFIODOT
Can we talk about that nice bottle slap right at the end to have the Makers bottle face the camera so neatly? Dude has skills
We can!
@@eater I love when a channel replies. Digital gold 🪙
@Bass Slapper hey, it ain't hard, but as a film maker I appreciate this stuff
That was a flick not a slap
He's definitely tied one on by that point lmao. Smooth
I used to work at the bottle manufacturer. Those were some of the best bottles we made. One of the old timers swore you could drive nails with them. They are that thick. I have seen them bounce on concrete from a 20' fall.
24 million bottles a year - where was the glass factory?
Was that you?
20 feet fall and not break? Yeah ok you bullshitter
@@drinksmeister everywhere
Cool! Could I ask you a question?
I've been through 7 odd bottles of Makers Mark all the way here in India this year, great Bourbon - costs the equivalent of 45 USD here for a 75O Ml Bottle.
Wow! So that's maybe a little more expensive than over here in Virginia, but maybe not that much more expensive. It seems to be a fair price, given the international logistics and shipping cost. 🤓🥃
@@lashlarue7924 Yes, India has different tax rates across different federal states - so while I pay the equivalent of 45 USD where I reside, it's also available about 8 USD cheaper in another state close by, while in a state in South India, Makers Mark costs more than 100 USD due to high local taxes.
@@lashlarue7924 That is one months wages for 2/3 of Indian people.
With today's currency exchange one bottle of Maker's Mark is exactly 40,85 USD in Sweden. Sold at our state owned monopoly liquor store. For private individuals all alcohol here is sold at the same chain of stores and the same price all over the country (except for restaurants and bars of course).
It's interesting to know the price of the same bottle in other parts of the world. I'm surprised to learn that the same bottle can more expensive in India than Sweden. Sweden has one of the highest sales tax rates in the world and additional alcohol taxes on top, before VAT.
I assume that 45 USD must be a lot of money for the average Indian, in comparison 45 USD is the equalivent of about 3 to 4 hours wages after income tax for an average Swede.
@@sparven99794 I’m in Ohio in the United States and a bottle of a 5th of a US gallon is about 30usd vs the most expensive top shelf I’ve seen at my local store is 45usd all for the makers mark brand. It’s a great tasting bourbon
Been there, was an amazing experience. They gave us a tour, afterwards they had a pig roast, a great band played, and of course the open bar of MM!
The amount of ice breakers and pick up lines in this video is just amazing.
“I used to do origami as a kid so I’m good with my hands.”
“What do you think about the different wax jobs? How do you like your dip?”
down, boi.
I love the statement "every step is good". Shows how much Maker's respects the process and cares about the product.
So these guys dont want to make money of their products and show only the good side? Why dont they show all the alcoholics that they produce, all the violence, all the suffering, all the people who die from drunk driving? You say no one is forced to drink, but if you seduce half the population with this and you easily get addicted to it, its pretty much forcing people.
@@anderslarsen2311 omg who the hell cares
@@masongrosz3121 Obviously you dont care about people.
@@anderslarsen2311 oh no I'm absolutely distraught lmao would you like a gold medal?
everything looks good on UA-cam. after days/weeks of editing
Love and respect to all the workers that helped with the process. One of the best bourbons ever made! Beautiful job! Thank you!.
nice to see that some products still are made with care by people who take pride in their work
“I did lots of origami as a child so I’m pretty good with my hands” sums this weird ass awkward dude up pretty well
69 likes. I don't want to mess it up but I liked this comment lol
He is really weird & awkward on camera but I kinda like it.
That line killed me XD
Awkward and endearing
I thought exactly, but if an odd thing.to say around guys building & chucking barrels around ask day, although the other guy did say he was also usually confined to an office. Also, there a dirty joke there which I won't go on about
@@kurtsudheim825 You really think origami was a dirty joke?
Those barrels after being used to make Bourbon are sent to our friends in Scotland to age their amazing Scotch in!
Why isn't it the other way around ?
@Christian Emter that's a strange law. Why can't they use black barrels like Capt Morgan? Also I don't know anything about distilleries or breweries so don't laugh at that question if it sounds dumb
@Christian Emter Oh wow. The more you know
Just tasted today...and i fell in love right away...this bottle and the lovely details...the distillery and history...the color...scent and taste...wow!
Everything is just right. I've just found my favourite bourbon whisky.
Best regards and keep it up buddys! 😋👌👍💪
One of the best bourbons ever made! Beautiful job! Thank you!
“ I did lots of origami as a kid, so I’m good with my hands”. Ima use that as a pickup line
You gotta actually be good with your hands tho, can't be lacking the follow up 😂
He barley even rolled that barrel LOL
@@matthewlacey4198 maybe I just have big man hands that move fast and I know where the g spot is but it’s not that hard to finger
"What those hands do?"
*proceeds to make a paper swan*
I was wondering if anyone else tight of that dirty joke, so thanks
I took a tour of Makers Mark 12 years ago and got to dip my own bottle. It was great! I'd like to do it again someday.
i dont regularly consume maker's mark (as in, pouring it in a cup and drinking it) but i use it a lot for cooking (especially in the production of homemade vanilla). the stuff is amazing.
Having been to multiple Scotch whisky distilleries in Scotland, it's interesting to see the difference between how Scotch whisky is made and how Bourbon whisky is made.
I have a bottle that belonged to my father. He got it from a friend of his, in the late 80's. I only take it in very special moments. I still have half the bottle. The taste is amazing!
It won't age anymore because it's out the barrel.
@@Protein33 why you got to ruin his moment.
@@Protein33 after that long, a whole lot of the alcohol has evap'd out of an opened bottle my man. Long overdue for a replacement.
@@grampsey Some people like the near beer buzz effect
Why not just keep that bottle as a keepsake and buy new MM to drink on?
Also be interesting to see the difference between 40 year MM vs new
The “white dog” shot took his chest off but he played it cool
I've only bought two bottles from maker's mark in my entire whisky drinking experience, and it's at the very beginning of me start drinking whisky. This video really let me wanting buy another bottle and really feel the uniqueness of this brand.
as a lover of Vermonts Maple Bourbons and bourbon creams, this makes me happy to see the kind of process these go through to be made, Even if each process is different. Very Interesting
I don't even drink, But this makes me want to grab a bottle of Maker's for the holidays
Do it, your friends will thank you for it!
@@swadswadlo3717 Definitely won't be thanking yourself though lol
Grab 2 !!
This is the only alcohol i drink every glass is worth it.
Grab their 46, so good
Marker's Mark is one of my favorites bourbons, I have a unopened bottle here waiting to be enjoyed with my older brother when he comes to visit me
It's my "go to" as well
@@jrporter50 good deal
Maker's is my favorite bourbon. I keep a two year supply just in case!
Alcoholic
@@ncba lolwhat?
Let's be honest. The only reason we clicked on this was to see the wax.
This was fun to watch I like the hosts energy and attitude he was so excited
The Maker's Mark rickhouses are one of the most magical-smelling places on earth.
You obviously haven't smelled their Richardhouses before.
@Christopher Durham: Can confirm.
They smell good but leave a fungus on the surrounding houses and structures.
I don't drink liquor but I can appreciate the craftsmanship and hard work that goes into making this. 🥃
I have toured this facility and it smells as good as it looks. Phenomenal place!
My go to bourbon. My old fashioned recepe:
1oz Makers Mark
1/2 oz Mclellands smokey scotch
1/4 oz Maple syrup
1/2 oz water
2 dashes Angoustara bitters
2 dashes Orange Angoustara bitters
Orange peel
2 mariancho cherries
Ice cubes
Soooo good
Wow you enjoy life Marquis , love the wee bit Scotch Whisky in it .
I love seeing how many humans are involved in making this beautiful bourbon whiskey. Lots of love from Australia 🇦🇺
That quick little flick at the end was the smoothest aspect of this whole video. Good job ol chap!
I love how much enjoyment Dan has on all of these adventures!
'sweet, smooth, no bitterness" - love it!
You should do another one with this guy titled, "man who's never done manual labour works in a factory for a day"
Pretty obvious he’s never done manual labor. Looks like a fish out of water. And his nasal feminine voice is irritating.
Ive dond lots of manual labor and I would look goofier than him bro. I look like a goofball going up the ladder every time bro
Id like to try each step of beginning to final product like he did. That'd be a pretty good day for a bucket list check off
That would be awesome. Would be cool to see how the taste changes at each step.
Most whisky tours allow you to do this def try a few
You can I'm sure, most wineries/ distilleries around the world have at least tasting, & offer a tour in certain days where you can get the guide, you might not go behind the scenes on all of them as much as he did here, but you will get to taste all the different "flavours"/ bottles of brandy they sell (like cheap to upmarket)
End
of tour is a taste session from white dog through final bottle
That's one he'll of an idea
I love the paint color on their buildings. It's how a lot of houses and buildings were painted back in the day. Growing up in the 90s I saw the last of them disappear and now it's just an old house here or there with the brown paint.
Fascinating. Really enjoyed this look behind the curtain. Thank you!
I work in a distillery in Scotland, we often use bourbon barrels for our blends. Always loved the smell of the casks that come in
My Bucket List has an entry to visit a Scottish distillery. Or should I say a Scotch distillery :) Not to fussy about which one.
@@dgk42 Ardbeg or Laphroaig or Lagavulin
@@aleksanderblinn4492 lagavulin all the way.
If you’re into your peaty smoked scotch.
Or you could try the world's oldest legal distillery in Bushmills Northern Ireland
@@chimpymcchimp6789 To Peaty for me Islay Scotch .
I dont drink anymore but watching this was awesome. so much work goes into every single bottle. As a chef I just really appreciate this.. perfecting their craft
I should not drink but it is just too much fun to miss
Their facility in Kentucky is unbelievable. Ive never seen so much bourbon in my life
Maker's 46 is so good! It's hard to get where I live, but when available, I always enjoy it!
Im a big fan of makers mark, after seeing all the love that goes into making this great spirit makes me appreciate it even more! Good job.

Dude, I worked at the Independent Stave Company's Missouri Cooperage for almost a year. Absolutely the hardest job I've had so far in life, but oh so satisfying. You would be surprised the shear volume of barrels we produced. I was on the dock for the main bourbon line, hand stacking 1500 126lbs bourbon barrels in a shift. Each barrel held 53 gallons of bourbon.
Thats crazy. How do you pick up the barrels? Just grab top and bottom?
@@robison87 you tip it on it's side, grab both ends, wedge it between your thigh and another barrel, and lever it up. Like anything that physically intensive, technique makes up half the lift. Or you could be like my old co-worker. He was built like a football player and would just bear hug the barrels and dead lift them.
@@alanzimmer999 Yeah thats insane lol. I'm strong (for my size), but I only weigh in the 140s so I doubt I could maintain that pace. Thanks for the info! I've never had Maker's Mark and now I want to try some.
@@robison87 Yeah, I was a solid 180-190 and in the best shape of my life while I was working there. Another one to try is Devil's Cut. Once they empty the barrel they squeeze some of the bourbon out of the wood, gets a tonne of flavour from the wood.
@@alanzimmer999 Sounds good to me. I will look into that one too. I'll let you know how it goes lol.
Finally a UA-cam video that makes me happy.
That was fun to watch and I learned a lot. Great job!
My favorite Bourbon. A colleague and myself once drank every mini bottle on a first clas flight from Minneapolis to Amsterdam!
*gets complimented on his kick
“Thanks, I did a lot of origami”
This is bucket list place for me to visit. Amazing the amount of craft that goes into this
you can also get select bottles that aren't sold out of the tours. so bring a lot of money so you can get some bottles you wouldn't see on the store shelves.
Out of the many Beavis and Butthead’s episodes that I’ve seen, I never ever knew a bunghole was the hole in one of those barrels. I always thought it was…. Well LOL! 😂
it nice to see the interviewer/guest to be enjoying himself while doing the work
When a barrel fails in inspections. We sell those barrels to Donkey Kong
I have a bottle of Cask Strength 46. It is very, very good stuff. 20-25 years ago, a store in my town had two bottles of Maker's Mark with gold wax and a raised letter glass bottle. I have never been able to get definitive information on what the gold wax bottles were, and how I could possibly get more. That stuff was the best ever.
Possibly a limited release VIP decanter. I've seen the empty bottle sell for around 50$. A full, vintage gold wax sealed bottle and box will cost around 1000$ today, IF you can even find them.
I live about 35 miles from the distillery. It's a good place to go around Christmas time. The tour is very nice and you get a sample 🙂 after the tour 😉 . You can also wax the bottle's in the lounge. You can put your name on a barrel with several other people. When it's fully aged you claim your bottle or bottle's.
I went to their facility and went on the tour in 2018, very interesting, dipped my own bottle and took it back to the UK :)

I enjoyed Maker's Mark before. Now I love it. Well done.

Maker's 46 is their best edition, bang-for-buck.
I’ve been enjoying all of the videos in this series, and this one was no exception. I don’t know if it would really works as a “Dan Does” video, but I would love to see a video tracking the aftermarket lives of some of these bourbon barrels. Since the bourbon industry can only use them once, I know that they’re being used to age beer, wine, and spirits around the globe.
You forgot Tabasco.
edit: i forgot worcestershire sauce
Some companies will take them, and make them into pellets so that you can smoke your meat with them.
The best use is as flower planters.
Most of them go to Scotland to hold Scotch Whisky, probably
Bourbon barrel aged wine is absolute horse shit. Horrible stuff.
Every video I have seen that requires fermentation (whisky, wine, hot sauce, soy sauce, ect....) go on and on and on about how important the barrels are to the taste of the product. However I will tell you I made some wonderful prison wine with just a big plastic bag! My buyers would rant and rave how great the taste and texture was! However I wasn't always able to age my prison wine to perfection 🍷🍹
Got to try it today for the first time. Really good!
This is a much better version of how it’s made and I enjoyed it quite a bit
About a year sober now, enjoyed seeing the machines at work, don't miss the alcohol though ✌️
Kudos to you, and yeah its a really cool process. Simple but not all at once.
Keep it going brother 👊🏻
3 years sober too but enjoy the process of making alcohol. Also don’t miss it too.
So these guys dont want to make money of their products and show only the good side? Why dont they show all the alcoholics that they produce, all the violence, all the suffering, all the people who die from drunk driving? You say no one is forced to drink, but if you seduce half the population with this and you easily get addicted to it, its pretty much forcing people.
@@anderslarsen2311 No it's called personal responsibility. There is NO excuse to drive drunk or make alcohol a part of your everyday life. I enjoy a little bit of Bourbon or Rum from time to time. A 750 ml bottle lasts me upwards of 8 months.
Back in the 70's when I drove 18 wheelers, my company had a contract with a famous maker of spirits that were called 'aging runs'. We would load up a trailer with barrels and run them three to four hundred miles one way and then back to the distillery. The movement of the liquid in the barrels supposedly aided the aging process.
Sea aging on land, I've seen other ways to do it this sounds interesting though
I highly recommend touring this place if you’re in the area.
The fermentation pools are cool old school whiskey making ….. tastes like warm stale beer , yes you can dip your finger in it but try to avoid the bird droppings
I’m 46 years old who’s never drink alcohol , not even a tiny sip and somehow I enjoyed watching this. Weird ha?
It's always interesting watching how things are made! I think there is a show about that. HAHAHAHA!!!
@@curlymaple42. I guess what I’m trying to say is that watching this made me want to taste the Bourbon. The kept saying how smooth and sweet it tasted and I was tempted even though I’ve never had a drink.
You're better off. Once you start it's hard to stop.
I had two drinks just watching this. Made me thirsty watching y’all work. Thanks for sharing this was a really good, informative video. Thanks.
Hello there👋👋how are you doing ?!
I just picked up a small bottle of Makers Mark French, Cant believe that it was up in the air for 6 years to see if their flavor was right, i appreciate the wax dip too, a personal touch from someone working a 12 hour shift
Everyone involved in this seems so nice. I don't even really like bourbon but now I want to buy a bottle of Maker's Mark.
It's almost as if they are nice for the video...
You can't be that dense surely?
@@JoeyRhubarb Yea, they are probably really terrible people off screen -- just absolute mildew and muck. Thanks for bringing me down to earth.
Sipping on Makers Mark while watching this video all the way down in New Zealand 👍😋
As a man born and raised about 50 miles from that distillery, I can tell you they were poking fun at that man for days after lol. You can tell he means well but he's definitely a sore thumb in Kentucky.
I have hauled a lot of MM out of that plant back in the 70s and 80s.
Looks a lot more modern and quite a bit bigger operation in this video.
I hauled Yellowstone, Ancient Age, Wild Turkey and Jim Beam as well.
I'm watching this right after buying 2 bottles that I'm staring at right now. Can't wait for the weekend to crack one of them open!
Why wait
Yea why wait? Chug a bottle now,then beat the hell out of the the wife and kids! Then square up with the neighbors,for a battle royal!

@@fisher1972 Alabama talk right there
Lol that’s Kentucky language also! Drink half a bottle,walk a block and tackle anything that walks,or crawls!
Sitting here in Aus with my Makers Mark. Happy as could be to see those taps.
Working for Independent Stave Co in Missouri it's cool to see our hard work in making staves in the final process.
Makers isn't my favourite bourbon, but I have a lot more respect for it after watching this!
I absolutely loved this episode! So interesting! 😱😱😍😍
Have enjoyed a couple of Maker's Mark whisky's this evening all the way over in Cambodia. A delicious whisky and fascinating to see the care that goes into making it. Cheers!
Dan - fabulous video! Happened upon it because I love Maker's Mark in my Old Fashioneds! Hope you are well.

Very cool video, new to whiskey drinking and Makers Mark is one of my favorites! The whole process is super interesting!
Makers mark gets me drunk in a good mood
I like wild turkey 101 good stuff. Crown is good too
Gentleman Jack is my current whiskey 🥃 in my glass
You should visit the distillery and take a tour. It’s a beautiful place and they’ll even let you dip your own bottle in red wax.
Would love to work somewhere like that with people that have passion for their product. Love Makers Mark as well. Good video! 👍🥃
I mean seriously! Great people
One of bucket list items was a tour of their distillery. First time I ever tried Maker’s 46 was there. Yum.
46 is my favorite! And Hopefully next year my plan is to do the bourbon trail.
