All these people were friendly. Dude with the Zim shirt seems like a total blast to hang out with lol. Love seeing "man on the street" type interviews in China with fun topics like this, I don't come across them as much as I'd like!!
Fun fact they offer bombay sapphire, jagermeister, absolut vodka at the clubs in Shanghai too haha ive gotten them as bottle choices just last week Also the red label whiskey I got from the family mart right next to me before same exact bottle. Baileys and Fireball is the only thing kinda new here
You guys definitely needs Sheldon lol. His mandarin is super good for someone who is CBC and Cantonese as his mother tongue. You guys should vlog a day in the life with the 3 of you on your second channel and only speaking Mandarin.
0:06 _"... These are Chinese locals trying popular american alcohol drinks for the first time"_ Baileys is Irish, Jägermeister is German, Bombay Sapphire is British, Fireball is Canadian, Absolut is Swedish, Johnnie Walker is Scottish. These drinks may be popular in america, but none of them is truly american.
Also, cinnamon is only rarely used as a sweet flavor in traditional East Asian cooking. You can find it in lots of savory dishes, but finding it mixed with sugar for desert type stuff (or sweet like in Fireball) is a lot less common.
"Chinese don't use cinnamon." the first thought that came into my mind was "Y'all must be northerners." (i didn't notice they're in Baoding at first) 🤣 We also use cassia cinnamon, not ceylon cinnamon, the two has a somewhat different flavour and fragrance.
Funny that they never heard or tried Johnnie Walker Red label. It's the most familiar drink for overseas Chinese during weddings simply because it has a red label, it's a bad Scotch if you are a Scotch connoisseur !
The Green Label is hugely popular in Taiwan because the color is seen as lucky. I also wouldn't be surprised if Gold Label is also a big seller in China.
@@etow8034 Should have been more accurate. South east asian chinese demand blue label and Martell Cordon Bleu at weddings. which part of the world are you from?
@@lagofala Martell Cordon Bleu is considered a cheap brand especially their Cognacs here in North America. Johnnie Walker Red label is the go to drink for toasting a weddings especially if you're from the Guangzhou, Hong-Kong Cantonese speaking regions.
Dude in the white shirt knew what he was doing! Next get your western friends to try Moutai (aka the worst tasting alcohol in existence that somehow still costs 1000$ for a 750mL bottle)
i just came back from chengdu and when i had dinner with my gf's family, all they drank was bai jiu and beer haha. The bai jiu has a very strong taste as well.
Yeah, older chinese people LOVE treat guests with their best Bai jiu, you will find that it is very rare for young people to be drinking that crap, especially gen Z
I'm from South Africa and would like to try the Asian drinking culture. I think the South African's really love drinking. Let me know if it would be possible to come on one of your video's to bars to drink with you and experience to difference between the two side. In South Africa there are lots of different races and cultures, but when it comes to drinking, we all become one.
My family like to make rice wine and all kinds of fruit wine and it’s high percent of alcohol and drink 白酒 also but I think Chinese people like to make there own wine but 白酒 is definitely must have on the dinner table I know there are more like herbal wines also
00:49: Norwegian here.. a lot of hard alcohol, even well known brands, are sold at 60%. I take it this in some sense is to keep people away from homebrewing liquor, as many at least in the countryside, distill their own 96% that they drink. Yes, 96%. The very max you can drink before dying. 53% is not a very serious percentage. Also, outside of Norway, if you take Rum for example, there are PLENTY that sit at 80% or more.
I'm not sure you're separating "percent" from "proof". For example, it's very rare to find a commercial liquor that exceeds 40% (80 proof) in N America.
@@michaelccozens no yeah after a little googling their national alcohol must contain AT LEAST 37.5% to be considered authentic, but usually around 40%, even up to 50%. and thats just the one. so it seems somewhat feasible. just think about moonshine here in the us, you can get it into the 80%s pretty easy with vapor distillation.
Awesome! Love the reactions. One thing that very few people will have tried or know is Malort from Chicago. They’ll hate it too! Nothing as bad as a grapefruit that got rotten in gasoline…😂
Johnny Walker. Is good Uisce. We say in Irish Uisce batha for Irish whiskey. Uisce in Irish means water. Uisce beathe. Means water of Life in Irish. Or Whiskey
I want to try baijiu, but the only one we have available from our national alcohol monopoly is Moutai, which costs about the equivalent of 310€ for 50cl. We used to have Ming River Sichuan Baijiu available for around 60€ for 70cl, but that one is no longer being imported to our country.
Great video. In the future don't use one of the worst scotches available. I understand trying to keep prices consistent but that simply doesn't work with spirits. Some are more expensive than others at the same level of quality. Also, Bond usually drinks vodka, not whiskey.
Weird how they haven’t had walker before considering it’s all they drink usually w/ chivas being another one. But it’s usually black or gold they drink
I'm currently studying in China and next to my dorm, they sell vodka. They don't even check your IDs or anything. The other day, I found a Maotai ice cream shop but didn't try any since I had to catch a train on the same day
Lol... talking about american alcohol and testing Johnnie Walker (Scottland), Bombay Gin (England), Baileys (Ireland) and Abolut Vodka (Sweden), Jaegermeister (Germany) and Fireball (Canada) :D would have expected at least one american brand in the video :D
We can too, you just have to put a brown paper bag over the alcohol container. Yes, it's very silly on the face of it, but the reason those laws are on the books is rooted in historic racism against minorities. Creating such laws that can easily be selectively enforced allows for the oppression of some people but not others. The brown paper bag to get around public drinking laws remains as an expression of our shared, American culture. We remind ourselves of our mistakes and strive to be better. For what it's worth, in most cities, the public drinking bans have been removed.
American alcohols, here is an Irish Cream, a German Liquer, a British Gin, a Canadian almost whisky, a Swedish Vodka, and a British Blended Scotch... Could've used Bourbon, moonshine, Tito or Wheatley's vodka, and Everclear.
it brings me back to my days as a guinea pig at bars and clubs when i would have bartenders throw anything at me that they wanted to test out before serving it to everyone else.
@@kaiserxblue no idea actually because i also was a lot of the time the person that drove other people home after all of that. i don't ever recommend that since i had some walking blackouts. i retired because of gut issues not related to the drinking. plus most of the friends are no longer here on earth and others moved away.
@@MrThedr1975 Dude, based on that story then you got lucky, like for real! being the designated driver when drinking and somehow you made it in one piece? I know it's in the past but shit man.,... you really picked hard mode in life.

Mike you mean percent* not degree I'm dying 😂
I was curious too. i thought i was saying it all wrong all this while
In mandarin we call alcohol percentage ‘degree’, not sure why but that’s how it’s said. 40% alcohol we call it 40 degrees
@@mochagreen ahh thanks for sharing! Learned something new!
the more I drank the more I started to mix english and chinese lol. As someone mentioned above in mandarin percentage is translated to degree
But in English a degree of alcohol is only 1/2%
gotta get the everclear in on this please
Awww hellll nahhh! They gonna get messed up LMAO
lmfao i remembered everclear. knocked out half the people at the party in my college days
trust me , dont poison them like that
No that’s not normal alcohol 😂
nah thats too much people could get sick
Fun fact they offer bombay sapphire, jagermeister, absolut vodka at the clubs in Shanghai too haha ive gotten them as bottle choices just last week
Also the red label whiskey I got from the family mart right next to me before same exact bottle.
Baileys and Fireball is the only thing kinda new here
they are all accessible in family mart in shanghai lol
Props to you for taking all those shots with all those different people thats a lot 😂
its not that hard long as he takes time in between
They wernt full shots they were just sips.
taking shots is the worst way of experiencing alcohol
Those young’s showing respect in the toast is everything
15:26 click here if you're cantonese

She said “Chinese people don’t use cinnamon as a flavouring” meanwhile…. Chinese Five Spice is 1/5th cinnamon 💀
She means main or dominant flavouring.
Also, cinnamon is only rarely used as a sweet flavor in traditional East Asian cooking. You can find it in lots of savory dishes, but finding it mixed with sugar for desert type stuff (or sweet like in Fireball) is a lot less common.
Cassia Cinnamon (Chinese cooking) and Ceylon Cinnamon taste is totally different
"Chinese don't use cinnamon." the first thought that came into my mind was "Y'all must be northerners." (i didn't notice they're in Baoding at first) 🤣 We also use cassia cinnamon, not ceylon cinnamon, the two has a somewhat different flavour and fragrance.
And Jager tastes like star anise which is an even stronger flavor of 5 spice.

I've had Kweichou Moutai. I didn't care for it, but it wasn't that bad. Airag is much worse. I couldn't even finish a single cup.

Now I want to try Baijo!
When I lived in Dongguan I went to a kids bday party and all the uncle's were drink baijiu and I was out after 3 lil shots 😂😂😂 it's no joke
this was a lot of fun
You should have Chinese ppl try Everclear and REAL Moonshine😂
They would have died 😂😂
BAILEY'S Is always served chilled or with one cube .
Warm is cack .
Goes great with a smoke .
Good stuff subbed 😎
You should do a "America's strongest alcohol" video
Wow I just want to say that the editing for this video is really well done. Props to the editor.

Please!
"nobody likes drinking this " bro i love jägermeister. some of the dopest shit u can do shots on

17 degree instead of 17%. Lmao
Impressive drinking my friend.
The dude in the white tees goona be a great drinking buddy i guess😂
I’m pulling up with Uncle Mike’s under the kitchen sink backcountry moonshine.
The closest to Baiju is American corn whiskey like Virginia lightning, or climax brand.
Makes China look like a cool place to go drinking.
Yep. Jager with redbull = jager bomb (I’m a Canadian bartender)
James Bond? He drinks vodka martinis, shaken not stirred… And you should’ve gone with Johnny Walker black, not red.
He just activated all of their lactose intolerance with that first shot of Baileys! 😅
This is ° between degrees fahrenheit/Celsius.
This is % percentage. Mando had confused them.
German here, please don‘t ever call Jägermeister American
Also Absolut is Swedish, Baileys is Irish and Johnnie Walker is from Scotland, Bombay sapphire is from England
Yes, while it is popular here it is certainly not American.
