  • Are Rex and Daniel still in Ireland at Jameson Whiskey? Nope. But Ger Buckley's private barrel coopering lesson with the lads deserves to be seen by the world. Also, Daniel just got a booboo and they couldn't shoot this week's planned Tribe episode. Sooooo... enjoy! (thumbs up for, Ger. He was a profoundly talented and gracious host.)

Subscribing to your channel reinforces the knowledge I have obtained through the years. But I am amazed by hearing other people's analysis on whiskey. How there's varying views. But over all. It's positive and like myself, take several different whiskeys and mix till I get a spirit that my palate appreciates. Or, add different charcoal filtering methods and use a whiskey that could use some help in reaching its potential. Now there have been mistakes. But to me, it's all about educating one's self during this learning curve. Like cooking. Thanks for your enthusiastic energy making these informative videos. "A friend in drink is a friend indeed".

Many years ago Publicans (Pub Proprietors) used to offer their local clientele a Christmas Drink. It was either a Pint of the customers choice (their regular tipple) or a Small One. (A Spirit mainly Whiskey or Brandy.) Most guys jumped at the chance to get a Whiskey. The greedy ones opted for Brandy. Because it was more expensive. Now a days the pouring Whiskey (Known brands) is cheaper than the Pints. Guys used to buy each other a Drink for xmas. Again the Greedy ones would say " ah sure give us a Short".

Been watching you guys for a while now as I've only recently ventured into Scotch. One of my mentors suggested your links maybe 2 months or so ago and having looked at lots of others, you guys do it better than anyone by adding episodes such as this. What I enjoy most is you pack a lot into short segments that keep me interested and thirsting for more. Great job as always! .... So the hot new thing is whisky I-V's Daniel? Kind of puts you guys out of business so I'm guessing that wasn't a Macallan drip on your recliner LOL! ~ get well sooner!

    This is one of the most beautiful preserved ancient arts I've ever seen. I love how these barrels are like time machines to a beverage from another era. Just solidifies my love of Jameson.

    Long time drinker; first time poster. Congrats guys on another great video. Have enjoyed all the Ireland trip content. They've all been entertaining but better still have transformed my understanding of what goes into making whiskey. This latest video was my favourite so far. It blew my mind to realise a 5th generation Cooper still makes the barrels, all by eye, and it isn't freakin robots with lasers on there heads.

    I lived in Bakersfield and there was a retired Cooper who made small gallon barrels to stay in practice. The skill alone is astonishing to watch but to see lumber turn into a container that can hold so much and for so long is awesome.

    as i fancy my self a poet i wrote this for him
    To Ger Buckley, with respect
    Ger's knowledge of the barrel is deep
    from wood work to hammer swing
    his gentle grace in smiling face
    and steady masters hands.
    From fathers, fathers to the 5th
    he is the sum of all that lived
    yes Ger is jovial and an old soul
    a cooper shaped like what he makes
    and may his hammer never stop
    and his knife never dull
    and his joy never fade away
    for angels made coopers
    to get their share in spades.

    I’ve seen a few barrel making videos, but this one is the most awe-inspiring ever. What an art, whiskey itself is not the only complex piece of the process

    The years he has under his belt and when he talked about the rivet then quoted "would you like to see that" the child like excitement in his voice shows he loves everything about his job
