We all have seen the episodes of Top Gear, the reassembler, and as much as funny and interesting James can be, this is by far the deepest and most personal he ever gets, when he says that whsikey usually takes him to a dark place, just an amazing person.
Indeed, I kinda understood where he was going with it too. Whisky gives you a very melancholic egocentrical drunk, which a man needs to clear their mind.
I love the little shoutout to his appearance on The F Word when James says he can't eat the deep fried mars bar and he's had fermented shark before, what a great little clip

I suppose what in Scotland would be like a windowless bothy on a dark night with the rain outside; it's a last refuge, and beyond that all hope is lost. And that's where whiskey is: it will either take you into the abyss or release you from it. But with this one, it's like in those moments of great clarity of thought - you put it on your tongue, and there's a moment when you see all the Jesus-light coming through the sky, and the clouds parting, and the rain lifting, and all those things. And it's very brief, and then it's gone again - but it's there..." "Please sir, can I have some more?"
No Brewdog = no craft beer phenomenon = we'd all still be drinking Stella or Doom Bar. I'll never get the hate they get nowadays, I don't drink their beers anymore but if anything they deserve credit for starting a whole new interest in proper beer.
22:18 why we love James May, just these kernels of fact and truth. Also Oz Clarke (Upper Middle Class) can sometimes come across as just slightly snobbish, whereas James is Upper Middle Class, man of the people.
I live near Talisker distillery on Skye. I hate all whisky….bloody awful. Laphroig especially - like swallowing liquid peat smoke. Vile stuff. Gimme cooking lager, (Tenents), any day! Harris Gin is something seriously gorgeous if anyone is planning a trip to the western isles. Distillery is beside the ferry terminal so you’ll see it as you drive out on your journey from Harris up to Lewis.
The scene of them crossing the bridge at the beginning isn't on the border of scotland, as implied in the monologue, its actually the tamar bridge crossing in the direction of cornwall to devon. I only point out this pointless piece of trivia because I know James would appreciate the pendantry
Yeah, I don't think James understands that he's living in the 21st century, so a lot of his hobbies and skills are so rare that they make him exceptionally posh. Being genuinely interested in history and being able to learn ancient skills/techniques that have almost no modern application is an exclusive luxury only affordable to people with so much wealth that they have enough free time to learn a skill they may only ever end up using once or twice in their entire life.
Sounds like one of Dougie Maclean's made for TV instrumentals? His songs are just as excellent. If you haven't heard his music, I am very glad to introduce you. You may well know Caledonia, and I like Feels so Near, It's been stolen from me, the scythe song and many others.
@@philipwilliams5808 thank you for the reply, had to binge me some Dougies songs and have to say I loved it. Thank you for introducing it for me. Didnt find the song with the guitar and flute(?) thou.
Top Gear, Grand Tour, Man Lab, QI, 8OO10C, Taskmaster, and now this?! I'm an American discovering all of these shows and I think it is official now, UK television is much better than American television.
What Robert Burns poem was James reciting there as the Haggis was being cooked and prepared by Oz at the side of the road there? Just as a point of interest for those who who don't know Robert Burns and his works, in the interest of curiosity and all.
no single mal is not like a single estate wine cos they can and sometimes do distill it there and then cart the barrels to another part of scotland to mature
sorry what I meant was that single estate wine has everything done 'in house', single malts are not like that, very often the barley comes from the other side of the country and they are matured also elsewhere, but as long as the spirit is DISTILLED at the distillery, they can call it a single malt
extraordinary conversation at 22:18 . JayMay explains 'quite probably' the finish on this original 1777 mash gear, and the chap that owned this pretty highly-thought-of peat distillery says 'is that bullshit' . gosh. that was nearly rude
Great! They said Bruichladdich correctly! It's not Bruichladdie... for fuck's sake! I mean you wouldn't say loch like loeeeee or pibroch like pibroeeee. A ch is a ch!
Love uisce beatha! Specially Islay, specially Talisker! Also, like Bruichladdich although It is hard to get in sunny Portugal. Now I'm gonna check my liquor cabinet and find something to have a sip. P.S.: Found some Johnny Walker Green Label, my personal favourite label of JW.
@Archaeology Decline and fall of my hair line The SNP is worse than all of these other parties ... because they want to get out of Britain to subjugate Scotland to Brussels. Logic fail.

That was a powerful moment. James is an amazing person.
A very down to earth but intelligent bloke.
Unfortunately I have seen only 2 of the reassemble episodes.
Or he's just full of crap
@@DarkerThanBlack88 you're a bit fruity arent ya
"jaguar corniche" I died a little when oz said that.
And then at 14:21
"We might as well carry on in the Bentley."
Same 😉
@@mikezittritsch3888 I get the feeling he does it on purpose though :P if there's one way to rile up James May, sorry, I mean Dingleberry Handpump :P
My car is a Jaguar Corniche, but glories in the name starting with P. - tthe model that is.
Agreed.
James May's whisky monologue at 26:43 is just beautiful
Agreed! :)
It was magnificent, the music at the back, he's so sensitive, poetic, god damn
Indeed, I kinda understood where he was going with it too. Whisky gives you a very melancholic egocentrical drunk, which a man needs to clear their mind.
Brings tears to my eyes.
And then Oz ruins it
I would like to read a book written by James May. He is so descriptively unique.
Car Fever, he wrote back in 2009 or Notes from the Hard Shoulder which he wrote in 2007. Try them.
John King Cheers.
I bet you didn't bother.
Kittens GWT Well you would only get it if you were a fan of May.
Do I have to get up early tomorrow?
Yes.
Have I slept very little last night?
Also yes.
Will I still binge watch this whole season?
Very likely
The moment when Oz drops the Haggis makes me laugh so hard I nearly wet myself every time I see it. Fat head is an underrated insult.
Especially James' reaction... "you fathead!"
I love the little shoutout to his appearance on The F Word when James says he can't eat the deep fried mars bar and he's had fermented shark before, what a great little clip
Amazing to see how much Brewdog has grown since this show, one of the biggest brands in the UK now with its own bars
Ironic that Punk IPA is a lot cheaper in Wetherspoons than their own bars lol
Haggis peas and carrots. I'm speechless...
You NEED the tatties and neeps 😂
I'm so drunk right now from tasting all of my single malts during this fucking episode, brilliant!
*inspirational music*

The BrewDog lads have knocked it out the park now. Respect
They’ve certainly knocked their staff out of the park
@@MattyTowcester 100% Much prefer the Williams Brothers stuff like the Joker. Won't be caught drinking Brewdog
just look where BrewDog has come now!
yeah even more trash.

Extortionately priced disgusting shite.

This is the best buddy short film ever.
It has been confirmed. James may is now an immortal being. He survived the death drink and was blessed with un-finite life.
Love this ... Thanks
Thanks for sharing this.
9:54...James meets his stunt double.
Love the short clip with the whiskey barrel being tilted at 26:02 after James says "YES".
OZ say at . 14.20: Carry on in the Bentley. He knows his Wine, but not cars. haha
I hope they're really immortal because a world workout them in it would be a little less calm and a little more sad.
god Scotland is incredibly beautiful
Only where there arent people ... because then you are reminded that they vote for the SNP ... or in other words: communists.
Thanks for putting it on, ep3 binging, 2020!

“One one like neaps and tatties”
WHAT?! You can’t have it without!
I like neep & tatties !
@@clockwork9827 they are 100% necessary with a haggis! 😋
The Brew Dogs!!!! YAY!!
Cock up in the editing @1:11(2 different bridges), heading over the Tamar bridge into Scotland.
It gets better, they were supposed to be going to Cornwall. However they were driving east to Devon.
26:15 what is the composition?
Favourite Scottish beer - Puffin ale by the Orkney Brewery, favourite whiskey - Laphroig. Marvellous stuff.
Does anyone know the name of the music playing in the background around 16:13 ?
Great soundtrack.
The scene of them crossing the bridge at the beginning isn't on the border of scotland, as implied in the monologue, its actually the tamar bridge crossing in the direction of cornwall to devon. I only point out this pointless piece of trivia because I know James would appreciate the pendantry
Does anyone know what background music is playing from 26:15 (underlying James' whisky monologue)? Thanks!
sounds like it could be rush ost
ask Russ Sellwood ? he is the 'music advisor'
Interesting how the Tamar bridge is now on the Scottish border.
Working my way through the series with a few cans - Magic Rock, Wylam, Tiny Rebel and Northern Monk :)
geordie lad are we?
11:33 cracks me up everytime
Yes, that's why it's called lemon peel...
0:23 Jaguar Corniche😂
if the barrel is breathing out, it sure as hell is breathing in. That guy got it backwords.
Breathing out alcohol, breathing in air. One of them is worth something and the other is everywhere.
Oz first referred to the car as Jaguar Corniche and later Bentley LOL. It's ROLLS ROYCE!!
N Popat no shit Sherlock that was the joke
it's a running joke
N Popat its an obvious joke
James always talks about Oz as being posh, but he's hardly in the Royle family himself haha.

Love this show. Sadly not available in the usa. Thanks for the share. How did you capture it?
Was the US Wine trip series released in the US I wonder....
Can anyone tell me the song playing at 16:10 forward, sounds beautiful.

They've got no reason to be drinking from paper bags, drinking on the streets is legal in Edinburgh!
They were in a park though
FAT HEAD
FAF
FUNNY AS F...K
James priceless, oz haggis Clark.
Great series
The race car is a good representation of how whiskey works in humans.
I thought Americans where the only people that serve described candybars.
Top Gear, Grand Tour, Man Lab, QI, 8OO10C, Taskmaster, and now this?! I'm an American discovering all of these shows and I think it is official now, UK television is much better than American television.
Main reason might be: there isnt an ad break every 3-5 minutes.
What Robert Burns poem was James reciting there as the Haggis was being cooked and prepared by Oz at the side of the road there? Just as a point of interest for those who who don't know Robert Burns and his works, in the interest of curiosity and all.
It is quite simply "Address to a Haggis"
17:12 😂😂😂
27:21 that is how i describe a good nitous baloon
"TV's Oz Claahk"
Ethanol from hemp 💚 yeh ⛽️ 👌 😎
James where did you get that from!?!?
...I got it
So they cross the river Tamar into Scotland?!?!😂
I don't drink alcohol but James May makes this extremely interesting to watch.
James your like the brother I never had.
3:36 that’s quite funny, as I go out of my way not to taste it usually
Where's your "Captain Slow" now? :D
Did Oz just say jaguar corniche?!?!?
SO..... why did the brew dog guys have one shoe on each???.....
no single mal is not like a single estate wine cos they can and sometimes do distill it there and then cart the barrels to another part of scotland to mature
Retype that please, have no idea what your trying to say.
sorry what I meant was that single estate wine has everything done 'in house', single malts are not like that, very often the barley comes from the other side of the country and they are matured also elsewhere, but as long as the spirit is DISTILLED at the distillery, they can call it a single malt
chrish12345 Thanks for clarifying. Happy 2017 to you!
both duncan and jim have retired from bruichladdich now
A deep-fried Mars bar? Are they in Scotland or Oklahoma?
You can get anything "deep fried" in Scotland ... like pizza or Mars bars.
Whiskey makes Captain Slow go.
He wasnt drunk in the Veyron ...
@@Muck006 Are you sure? He was on the Nürburgring.
extraordinary conversation at 22:18 . JayMay explains 'quite probably' the finish on this original 1777 mash gear, and the chap that owned this pretty highly-thought-of peat distillery says 'is that bullshit' . gosh. that was nearly rude
so then. It seems James May will now live forever.
Great! They said Bruichladdich correctly!
It's not Bruichladdie... for fuck's sake!
I mean you wouldn't say loch like loeeeee or pibroch like pibroeeee. A ch is a ch!
jaguar corniche? xD
Love uisce beatha! Specially Islay, specially Talisker! Also, like Bruichladdich although It is hard to get in sunny Portugal. Now I'm gonna check my liquor cabinet and find something to have a sip.
P.S.: Found some Johnny Walker Green Label, my personal favourite label of JW.
19:18 captain slow 😅
Thanks for reminding me youtube
Jaguar Corniche... Why am I the only guy that noticed that
People in Scotland dont eat battered mars bars
thanks !
You havent been to Scotland then ...
rubber beer sounds abysmal
@8:41 why aren't they wearing shoes?
Must be some Scottish thing.
May youre my hero
Too much hair? Nah. I am jealous.
Whiskey was invented in Ireland
Just can't imagine Hammond or Clarkson saying something intelligent on the subject.
that is a hot couple of scottish fellas
Brewdog, great beer
I think James should have been called Oliver!
captain not so slow
eating absolutely nothing is better than rotten shark meat, ahahahah
"You fathead!!"
Jaguar??, how did that get past the edit.
It's a running joke. Oz knows nothing about cars so he purposely calls them by the wrong name. He does it all the time in this series.
And I’m back.
Oz meet Clarkson n drink ol russia...oo my pisser.
Whiskey if your Irish or American
Rest of the world Whisky.
I still say this show should be titled The Pillock and the Ponce.
damnit James.
#MakeBritainGreatAgain
James May whats this now?
@Archaeology Decline and fall of my hair line The SNP is worse than all of these other parties ... because they want to get out of Britain to subjugate Scotland to Brussels. Logic fail.
Brew dog is horrible stuff...
Wine might be fine, but the best drink in the world is produced in the British Isles. End of.
Jake Bond what drink
Мне нужна водка!
