  • Here's a once over on the main different types of alcohols in a bar. Please excuse the mediocre video and audio, this is literally one of the first videos I ever shot. Thank goodness we've come a long way since then 😉.
    VIDEO DISCLAIMER: This video is intended to be in the vein of mnemonic learning with stories and bad jokes to help you just get a basic understanding of things. What I'm saying is that some statements aren't 100% accurate. And while I don't call tequila a gin or vodka a scotch... if you want more nerdy science and factual information about this stuff please have a look at the "Alcohol's Playlist" here: • ALCOHOL 101: What's In...
    Cheers! :)

      This is 3 years late but hey! It is most likely less when there is less in it, because of evaporation inside the bottle being released when opened.

    Note it down gentlemen:
    Potatoes + yeast + water = Vodka (Russia)
    Sugarcane Molasses = Rum(Caribbean)
    Luagaave = Tequila(Mexico)
    Juniper berries = gin(Netherlands)
    wheat = Whiskey(USA)
    Corn and wheat = Bourbon(USA)

    • @otakuofmine
      @otakuofmine 4 роки тому +1

      Whisk(e)y is like Vodka made from grain (mix or pure). Whiskey is is non-scottish, irish or irish based (Scotch) Whisky is from scotland. Single Molt = only Barley.

    • @otto_jk
      @otto_jk 3 роки тому

      Yeah wheat is the most common grain for vodka. And whiskey and scotch are more often done from Barley than wheat.

    • @otto_jk
      @otto_jk 3 роки тому

      Also gin is just vodka spiced with juniper berries it's not made from juniper berry mash.

    • @otto_jk
      @otto_jk 3 роки тому

      And gin isn't mostly from Holland the Dutch drink is Genever and it doesn't taste quite the same as Gin.

    Statement below is 100% correct on the single barrel.
    Also Bourbon can be made anywhere. Not just Bourbon Kentucky. To make a Bourbon you have to follow a few laws or Rules.
    1. Bourbon must have at least 51% corn, it can have wheat. Rye. or both as long as 51% is corn.
    2. All bourbons are made in new oak barrels. Never using the barrel more then once for bourbon.
    3. Bourbons must be ages for at least 3 years. The peat use to smoke the barrel is not a must. Some are lightly smoked and some are not smoked at all. Most of your Scotch. Scottish Whisky or Bourbon is know for more smokey flavored. However this is not a rule in Scotland they are many Scottish bourbon that are not smokey. There is a lot more to whiskey. Whisky and Bourbon especially between Ireland and Scotland and the US. If interesting you just have to do some research.

    Wanted to express my thanks. I've started a new bar job recently without knowing anything about bar-tending.
    I've watched this video a couple times over, tried to absorb the info and it seems to have helped significantly! I know what to reach for when a customer asks for brandy, or whatever else.
    So once again, thank you for posting this video, it's been a great help.

    @peterwehmeier5306 6 років тому +1

    I'm sure the definitions change slightly from country to country, but a liqueur contains sugar of at least 2.5% of mass. Therefore something like Captain Morgans Spiced Rum or a flavoured vodka are still liquors as they do not meet this criteria.

    I believe Captain Morgan Spiced Rum is a liquor, not a liqueur.
    This is from their website:
    Original Spiced
    Smooth and medium bodied, Captain Morgan ® Original Spiced is a spirit drink based on a secret blend of Caribbean rums, mellow spice and other natural flavours. It gets its distinct richness and amber colour from aging the rum in charred white oak barrels. Captain Morgan ® Original Spiced is the perfect mix with Cola - the secret recipe of spices blend with the Cola to make a legendary mix!
    ABV: 35-37.5% (can vary by market)
    AVAILABLE: Worldwide
    A spirit is a hard alcohol, or liquor.

    Great vid man. Opening up a new bar and about to go get it ready today. These vids are excellent for refreshing that knowledge all around and learning too. You do great at it to so thats big. The key diff between Bombay and bombay sapphire is Bombay is only distilled Bombay S is distilled then infused with 10 botanicals. So wait... wouldn't that make it a liqueur? Lol

    Single barrel means it came out of a single barrel and wasn't blended. Not that it was th first use like you said. Single barrel is more exclusive than single malt. Singe malt is a blend of up to 40 barrels. Single barrel is from 1 barrel. The master distiller selects the best barrels to be single barrel lables and no barrels get blended. All bourbon is aged in a new barrel or its not bourbon. So no point in saying 1st barrel when its never aged in a used barrel.

      Bret Maverick single and malt are different. its "single" n "malt". not "single malt". malt refers to the barley taking a good majority in the ingredients. im not sure what single means. i think distillery
