- [Colin] Have you tried variations of Jim Beam?
- Have we tried Jim Beam?
- Colin.
Colin.
(upbeat blues music)
- Have we tried Jim Beam?
- I mean, like one variety.
- Yeah, I don't think- - I don't think I've ever had
any more than that. - Yeah.
- Yeah, so good question, Colin.
- There's different varieties of Jim Beam?
Of course, there is. We're in a video.
I just didn't even think about it.
No, I've only ever had one.
If Dermot was here,
he'd be having to really good time right now,
but Shannon doesn't like whiskey.
- Um.
(upbeat blues music)
- Dirty water.
- (singing) Jim Beam Original.
The OG.
- Oh. they're mini shots.
They're mini shots.
- It's a shot of whiskey.
- Wow, so you're not letting
the two guys pour their own drinks anymore.
- Is that how this-
And on top of that,
you're giving us a little shot of whiskey.
You expected to shoot this?
You don't shoot this shit, you savour it.
What the hell is this bullshit?
It's bad enough we can't kiss.
- I love whiskey.
I love it without ice.
This is how I drink it anyway.
- You like whiskey straight without ice?
- Yeah.
- I don't believe you.
- I find the ice actually ruins it.
- Jim Beam, him and his gang of boys were
like, "Lads, let's get people fucked up into the future."
- Can't see it with the sunglasses on.
- (laughing) Oh God.
- We have a Kentucky straight bourbon.
- Ooh. - Just a straight bourbon.
- That's all, there's no bells or whistles here.
- No bells, whistles or decent sized glasses.
- Clearly.
- Guys I'm going to the gym after this.
So we're gonna to try it,
but please don't kill me in the comment section.
I know yous are going to kill me in the comment section!
- Oh, it smells nice.
- Oh, man, it's yeah, this is gonna be good.
- Listen, it's gonna be good.
- Ah, it's lovely.
- It's nice. - Oh, that's lovely.
(both laughing)
(Irish Jesus retching)
- Oh God, oh, Jesus, Jim!
- I still feel ridiculous.
- I feel like a giant.
A giant idiot.
- I had an initial (shudders) reaction,
but I can't help that.
But, other than that, it went down smooth.
- That flavour whiskey tastes like burn. Why?
- Cut to the other two fucking pairs shooting this
and being done with it.
Whereas, we're savouring it.
- We're savouring it. - We're taking our time.
In stupid fucking glasses, but still.
- It would ruin it, if I drank all of it.
- That's the one thing that I find about whiskey.
It gets you really warm.
Like, if I was trapped
in the snow,
I would want a bottle of whiskey
because I wouldn't be freezing anytime soon with that.
- I'm really intrigued to see different types of this.
- Oh, oh.
- It's a 10 out of 10.
- Ten out of 10.
(upbeat blues music)
- This one is called Red Stag.
Yee haw!
- Is it still 40% like the last one?
- Red Stag by Jim Beam, yeah.
Sounds like a bluegrass album.
- Yeah, an album I wouldn't buy.
- So is a liqueur with some whiskey in there.
- (singing) Oh, black cherry, bam-a-lam.
- Black cherry. Does it smell like cherry?
- Well, I had whiskey that tasted like plum before.
So if this tastes like cherry, we'll be okay.
- They thought to themselves,
"Let's get Martin and Dermot in for this shoot.
They'll be good with a whiskey shoot."
We have given them zero.
Zero so far.
- You've given them that much.
- I've given them that much.
- Well, they've given us this much as well,
like, in fairness, so come on.
- Um, ugh, I don't I like that at all.
It's a mouthwash.
- I really wish I hadn't waited to see you go first.
- Ugh.
(Irish Jesus groans)
- [Both] Whoo hoo.
- If I was a dog, my tail would be like wagging.
- Oh, waggin'.
(Richard laughs)
- It's so polarizing, the smell,
and the taste are like so worlds apart.
- Oh, that is sweet at the end.
- It is sweet, it tastes like caramel, it does like caramel.
- Yeah.
- They didn't lie to us, Red Stag.
- This is the thing, if you'd given us like a proper
actual fucking glass of it, uh, I'd be done for the night
with one of them. Do you know what I mean?
Whereas, with the other one,
you keep refilling that bad boy and I'll uh-
I'll sit by the fire all bloody night, baby.
You know what I mean?
- Oh, I'll sing you a song. - Oh!
- [Seán] Compared to the last one? - Way better.
- Oh, way better than the last one.
That has upped the whiskey game.
I can understand why people want to drink whiskey.
If it tastes like that- - Yeah.
- That tastes like pure cough syrup.
- Cough syrup. You've hit the nail on the head
with the cough syrup. That is just like Benylin.
Tastes like fizzy Benylin.
- If I had to give this a rating out of 10?
- Mm hm.
- I think I'd give it a 10.
- Ten. Probably a 10.
- Jim Beam Devil's Cut.
Another word for a vasectomy.
- Oo, this is a big fancy look.
Oo, oo, oo.
- Now what?
- Going five percent faster down the motorway.
- Why? - Cause it's 45%.
- So while bourbon ages and the angel's share evaporates,
some also remains trapped inside the barrel.
We extract this dark and intense liquid
from our charred barrel walls
and blend it with extra aged bourbon. Oh, wow.
- Jim Beam Devil's Cut
is a distinctly bold bourbon full of rich intense flavours.
That was my, uh, English accent.
Let's see how much 5% can make the difference.
You ready? - Ugh, no.
- I'm not ready.
- I can't stop myself doing that
but that is the best one we've had.
- I mean, it's just like, what more do you want from us?
That's just- (kissing).
(gasping)
- No!
- No.
- It's actually the same as Jameson Black Barrel, that one.
Same concept.
- No, why. It's like aul' lad drink.
And aul' lads just want to suffer.
- Just sit in my armchair, you know?
- Ugh! You christen a baby's head with that?
- Hey Martin? - Yeah?
What would you rate that with a 10?
- Um.
- How about, how about on the count of three
we both give our rating. - Okay.
- And, whatever the difference is, with split the difference
and that's what the actual rating will be.
Okay. So, so one, two, three
and then we say it?
Okay, one, two, three. - [Both] Ten.
Ha, how about that? - Fancy that.
- They're like different drinks.
- You can't believe they both made this, yeah.
- You can't compare this to the one before.
- I think the Red Stag one is for like children.
It must be to get them into whiskey, it's like put a bit of
Mickey Finn's in it and the sugar will get them in.
But they'll stay for the good stuff.
- Has anyone ever told you that those sunglasses
are like Tony Stark's glasses in Avengers?
- Well- - The ones he gives
to Peter Parker.
Tap the side of them and say, "Hello, Edith."
- Hello, Edith.
- Anything?
(woman's garbled speaking) - Oh, I got a woman.
- Oh!
(woman's garbled speaking) - Um, name's um Agnes.
- Agnes.
(woman's garbled speaking) - And she's not happy.
- No? - Not happy
that I've woken her up from her daily nap.
- Oh.
- Sorry about that.
(woman's garbled voice)
- No, Spider-Man thing.
(woman's garbled voice)
I don't know either. Yeah, yeah.
She say she doesn't watch those kinds of films
cause she's too busy banging.
- Good for Agnes.
- Fair play, Agnes.
- Good for Agnes.
- So this is- (laughs) - What do we got?
- The double Oak- - Oh.
- Twice barrelled.
- Oh!
- Expertly aged. Very confident.
But I'm willing to go with it cause-
- Yeah, listen. - They've been stellar.
- Double oak, twice barrelled, whatever that means.
So they put it in the barrel,
they threw it out
and they put it back into the barrel again.
- Yeah!
So it's in a white Oak barrel,
and then what's it in the second time?
- A uh, charred barrel.
- A charred barrel, jaysus.
- They're getting real creative with it now,
like, "What happens if we put it in that one?"
- Yeah. - "And then we put it in that
one for another five years."
Barrel of laughs, I'm sure.
- Is it off? The cherry, bring back the cherry.
- There's a lot of tastes going on there.
It's hard to even describe.
- Oh, that is wonderful. - Wow.
- Oh, that is wonderful. - Well, it's all good.
- Oh, that's wonderful.
- Agh!
- Oh, agh!
- [Colin] Can you taste twice the barrels?
That's what I'm thinking. I feel it's coming at me
from two barrels. You know?
- Tastes two times as worse
cause it's went through two barrels.
(Irish Jesus laughs)
- That's absolutely delightful.
Delightful.
Holy hell.
- It's wood flavoured alcohol.
- This has been a pleasure.
- Hey, hey, remember the advent calendar video?
- No. - Neither do I.
(laughing)
- Whiskey just makes you that kind of drunk. You know?
Like real like warm drunk.
Fair play to the family getting together.
You know, creating a business.
- Yeah. That's ingenuity.
- Nice cigar, nice Jim Beam.
The uh, what is this one?
The Double Oak.
- Double Oak, yeah.
- I could happily sit there for, I don't know,
maybe 48, 72 hours. Singing songs.
- Singing the old folk songs.
- The old folk songs. And you know how they go?
- Do I? - Oh, don't you.
- (singing) Oh!
- (singing) When
we
go-
- [Both] Down
to
the river
and
we
say
"how's
your father?"
We
don't care
about your mother.
- Ah, the old folk songs. - (singing) Because-
- (singing) Because-
- [Both] we saw her last night.
- And that's all you- - (singing) Oh.
- (singing) Oh.
- [Both] (singing) Oh,
(singing) Agnes.
(laughing)
- Yeah, the cherry one was nice.
And like, I'm surprised because I don't even like whiskey
so they converted me and then they
unconverted me again. - Yeah.
- It's all balanced out by how much
we hated the Red Stag one.
- Hate the Red Stag one, yeah.
- Both, the look of it and the taste of it.
- Pull it clean off the market.
- Thank you for watching and subscribing.
No wait, thank you for watching and subscribing?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, because they did watch it.
- They just did that after you said it.
- I'm not even drunk. What does this mean?
Like, subscribe and click the bell.
- I'm tellin' ya now, bai, y'know? And gettin' one of these.
