Speaker 1

Welcome to Whiskey Bits with .

Speaker 2

Matt and Phil , where we sip on everyday whiskeys and find the funny in our everyday lives .

Speaker 1

Are you ready to try something ? I'm ready . Okay , are you ready ?

Speaker 2

though New season new . Lou , are you ready ? I'm ready . I don't know what are we in for .

Speaker 1

I'm just going to . I want you to smell . It Smells good , Doesn't it smell good ? It really does .

Speaker 2

Okay .

Speaker 1

So we typically have been doing $50 or less .

Speaker 2

Typically .

Speaker 1

Like easy to find . For the start of season two , I wanted to kind of buck

New Lou Double Toasted Bourbon

Speaker 1

the trend . Let's buck it , as they say , and what we're going to try today is this is an MGP product , so this one comes to us from Indiana . Oh , thank you , indiana . This is from Indiana . My son , mgp oh , my son , my son . This is the New Lou double toasted bourbon whiskey , finished with toasted French oak staves . What is a stave ? That's the part of the whiskey barrel .

Speaker 1

Oh the wood . Why did I just say French oak wood ? Well , it's the strips of wood that make up the barrel .

Speaker 2

Oh , can you intersperse different types of wood in a barrel ?

Speaker 1

Well , you could Ooh , that'd be interesting . Or you could just drop the toasted French oak staves into a barrel . Oh , is that what they do ? That's what they do .

Speaker 2

So it's floating wood inside of a barrel .

Speaker 1

Correct , okay , so , yeah . So double toasted , wow . So a toasted barrel a little bit different than the typical charred barrel , right ? So a charred barrel like we know about bourbon has to go into an oak charred oak barrel . A charred barrel like we know about bourbon has to go into an oak charred oak oak barrel right new one the toasted process .

Speaker 1

What the toasted process is is they heat up the wood first , okay , and then they fire it to get it charred , but by toasting it it starts to sort of bring out some of the flavor profiles that you can get is it into the lighter than charring , like is it less time or something ?

Speaker 2

it's less time . Okay , it's way less time . So in marshmallow terms , we're talking charred barrel . Is you let the marshmallow go on fire ?

Speaker 1

it's on fire and it's black at the end of it and you're like wow this is good and crunchy right .

Speaker 2

Uh , toasted is . You take five hours . And you're like , wow , this is good and crunchy right . Uh , toasted is you take five hours . And you're like , oh , I'm a marshmallow connoisseur .

Speaker 1

And you sit there like a moron toasting it until it's perfectly brown yeah , okay , kind of yeah , well , except that what you're doing is you're you're actually going really high heat for a short amount of time just to well , because it's warm it . Yeah , exactly , and then you fire it to bring it to whatever char is . The most common charring level for bourbon is right around three , between two and three makes sense because I know what those numbers mean in regards to char level okay , so if you think of so , the four is the highest char level .

Speaker 1

I don't know what that is .

Speaker 2

That's why I'm explaining . Oh okay , good , that's what happened here .

Speaker 1

The highest level of char is four and they call that the alligator char because it looks like alligator skin . Okay , oh , yeah , yeah , yeah , and then just think about it a little bit less than that would be a three and then a one like a chameleon , more like a chameleon .

Speaker 2

Right , they really should put . They should put other animal skins to it , because I feel like , like snake skin , probably would be right below alligator char because it's not as bumpy but it still has those like little lines , you know okay snake char snake char . Okay , and then below that maybe trout , trout char , trout char okay , and then below .

Speaker 1

That would be char , which is an also another type of fish oh , it could be char , char , char , and then below that would be tar , tar , tar , tar , char , tar tar just flat like tar right . And then there's . Then there's toasted char , toasted char , all right . So the double toasted allows the bourbon to interact with the wood a little bit more and there's quite a bit more flavor . Spending a little more time together , are they ? So this is aged for five years , but when you look at this , this does not look like a five-year-old .

Speaker 2

This looks like a 500-year . This looks like a lot older , right Dark yeah Now , is that because of the double toasting Because of the toast . Or is it just toasted in general is darker .

Speaker 1

Toasted in general is darker because it interacts more with the wood . It starts . It starts the process to kind of release some of those flavors that are in the wood . So this is 58.3% , 116 proof .

Speaker 2

This is a single barrel .

Speaker 1

I picked this one up at the Antioch Fine Wine and Liquor in Antioch Illinois . Good , I have tried this over at Whiskey Bungalow . Oh yeah , Shout out . Maybe from a little private selection . But I finally found my own for a private selection , so we're going to get into this one tonight .

Speaker 2

To season two . To season two .

Speaker 1

Ba-bam Cheers . It's just so good , dog , it's just so it's really good I haven't had .

Speaker 2

I haven't had a glass of whiskey in maybe six , eight weeks well , yes , definitely that long we recorded an episode maybe no like two weeks yeah and so

Toasting vs. Charring Explained

Speaker 2

this is just pleasantly . Yeah , do you hitting the palette where ?

Speaker 1

where are you at with the palette ?

Speaker 2

uh , I'm gonna have to do it again , okay there's , there's .

Speaker 1

It's very , very sweet , because the first thing I was gonna say is such a sweetness to it , but it's not like , uh , it's . It's not an obnoxious sweet that you get from overly corn , like anything with corn husk . Yeah , it's more of like a rich vanilla caramel butterscotch .

Speaker 2

Yeah , butterscotch is a good one , rich , caramel deep caramel for sure .

Speaker 1

And then you do get the oak , like the oaky burn that you can get sometimes with the whiskey , but that's a little bit later on the finish and the mouthfeel is just so smooth and silky , yeah rich , sweet , smooth , silky , caramel vanilla .

Speaker 2

I'm getting way more , like you've said , vanilla a lot in a lot of these and I've been like I can kind of see . But this one I'm getting like , yes , a lot of . I'm getting way more , like you've said , vanilla a lot in a lot of these and I've been like I can kind of see , but this one I'm getting like , yes , like vanilla for sure , not vanilla bean as much as just like almost that like kind of the vanilla extract .

Speaker 1

Yeah .

Speaker 2

You know what I mean , Like the oil , yeah something . It's just that deep rich vanilla flavor .

Speaker 1

Yeah , well , they say that the toasting , like one of the first flavors it brings out , is vanilla , vanilla . Yeah , so that that does make . It does make a lot of sense . So good , isn't it ?

Speaker 2

tasty and I do like how it feel , isn't gonna sound weird how it feels yeah , the mouth feels nice .

Speaker 1

Hey , it's a thing we've got to be mature , but yes it's .

Speaker 2

We're talking about whiskey people , um , but no , I do , I like it's , it's not .

Speaker 1

It doesn't kill me going down , I don't know I haven't been in front of a camera in so long , so I was just like what do I do ?

Speaker 2

what do I do with my hands ? Uh , not that . I just looked at all three cameras dead in the eye so I was watching on youtube .

Speaker 1

We're gonna be like why are you just looking ? Is he looking ?

Speaker 2

at every camera . Oh man , but yeah , no , it . It it sets . Well , it doesn't . It's not a . Some drinks are just hard to drink . You know , we were at whiskey bungalow uh last week or whatever two weeks ago . Yeah , um , there were that it . It had that kind of bitter aftertaste .

Speaker 1

This doesn't do that , oh yeah , the , the tasting that , whichever one . Yeah , what we were doing .

Speaker 2

This is like , yeah , that it feels it kind of like keeps the same flavor profile even throughout .

Speaker 1

Yeah yeah , it's very nice . I love it . I love it . I've seen these a lot . The new loo the new loo is fairly common . You can find the new Lou . You can often find the new Lou toasted . It's right around 50 , 60 bucks . The new Lou's themselves between 30 and 45 . They do have a weeded expression . They've got a bourbon expression . I'm not sure that I've seen a rye . It's a really really good brand , the really good stuff .

Speaker 2

It's the first time we've tried it on the show . I'm pretty sure Right , it's the first time we've tried it .

Speaker 1

And I've kind of been holding out for this double toasted since the first time I saw it . Tried it . Um , this one comes in around 70 bucks . So , and again this is a barrel pick , so you have to go fantastic go find it , but if you do see it , grab it . I I don't think you'll be disappointed .

Speaker 2

No , it's really good , I almost get a little bit of like , I'm gonna say , creme brulee , but like that burnt , burnt sugar , burnt sugar on the top , and it , yeah , almost reminds me of either that creme brulee or like banana , almost like like a banana foster ? Yeah , not as strong as the other one that we tried that one time . That was really banana's foster , but it has a little bit of that .

Speaker 1

Yeah .

Speaker 2

Really good . Okay so what have you been up to , Dude ? I've been up to so much .

Speaker 1

Well , tell me about it . I don't even know where to start . I wouldn't . Let's just end the podcast here .

Speaker 2

Let's just be done is be done no , uh , you know , I mean I think the last time we chatted we were talking about our new work and new jobs , and so I've been just video editing like a mofo , um and just doing a ton of that and um , yeah , I did my . So like the first month of the year was just filled with comedy shows , yeah , which was awesome , like every weekend I had . I had two shows every weekend in the month of January , which was really cool .

Speaker 1

Yeah .

Speaker 2

And I've been doing a lot of just getting inspired and doing a lot of stuff creatively . That has been really fun .

Speaker 1

Well , tell me about something that's been inspiring you . I want to hear the jokes that you're writing .

Speaker 2

Well , honestly , I've been coming up with a lot of sketches , okay , like sketch comedy stuff . I've been watching , I don't know , I watched the Saturday Night live documentary and it's like four episodes and then I watched before that I watched the movie it's called Saturday night Loved it . It was so good and I really was like wow , like Lorne Michaels , like you know . I don't know how true all of that is , but I think for the most part it's relatively true . Okay , don't know how true all of that is , but I think for the most part it's relatively true . Okay , but just like reminding me again of , like , what I love about the behind the scenes of show business and like the work that it takes and the you know not the glamour stuff , but it's like putting the scripts together and working with the actors and like getting a show together and specifically for what he was doing , like just all the stuff he had to go through and the things that were going wrong and all the obstacles . But it's just that chaos . I mean the whole the movie Saturday Night , like it's just pure chaos . Yeah , like , because it's all about the first , the very first Saturday Night Live show . Okay , season one , episode one , and how it almost didn't come together at all . And so I just was like and how it almost didn't come together at all , and so I just was like it reminded me of how much I love live performance and how much I love sketch comedy .

Speaker 2

And so then I just like started cause you know me , if I get into something I get like obsessed . So I started immersing myself in like all the different documentaries and I was watching like the one episode on auditions and I was like that is one of my dreams is like I want to audition for snl someday . But like half the 90 of the battle is getting the audition . Like sure , it's almost like very , it's very rare that you even get the audition . So anyway , so that's been kind of cool . But I've been coming up with all these like sketch comedy ideas . So I think one of the things while I'm doing the stand up and working with my booking manager to get shows this year , I've been keeping track of like how many I've been doing , but like I also want to start maybe writing and producing some sketch comedy stuff to kind of just put that out there and sure , yeah , so yeah , I think I'm gonna try to get another dry bar special , hopefully this fall .

Speaker 2

Um , so that's kind of in the works . Yeah , we'll see what happens . Another trip to utah , yeah , dude .

Speaker 1

Oh , same house , different house , I don't know I don't know , maybe there'll be a reprisal of the Huber , that's right , the human Uber .

Speaker 2

You just dragged me on stage and sort of threw me out . I'm not carrying you again , that's it . That'd be funny .

Speaker 1

It would be funny . Actually , this is where . This is probably where , because remember , when we first

Tasting Notes and Impressions

Speaker 1

got started with this , you were trying to come up with a persona . Oh yeah , and you said the persona that I want is I want to enter a stage a different way every single time .

Speaker 2

I just did not do that at all .

Speaker 1

No , no , you did it one time and that was it .

Speaker 2

I did it a couple times back when I was doing the theater show at the Woodstock Opera House . Oh , okay , so I did one where I just walked on , I looked at the audience and then kept walking .

Speaker 1

And then I just walked , but yeah , yeah , and I did one where I just clearly just I didn't even acknowledge him , I just walked straight across . Yes , that's good . Well , and then you also did one , didn't you do ? You did one at the uh , the old folks home , that didn't you like ? Come on and just start singing , yes , so that's a little bit different , that's right , I've been doing a lot of shows for old folks .

Speaker 2

I I've discovered , you know , here's the thing . So I had one of the gigs that I got . They're not all like Wow , but to me any show is great that you get paid for . So this one was at an old folks home . I got to the second one I got sick and I was like let's not kill any old people today . So I had to back out of that one . Maybe tomorrow , yeah , maybe tomorrow when I'm feeling better . But the first one was at this old folks . It was not not a retirement facility , but it was kind of like there's some nursing , some retirement , it was assisted living , yeah , that's right assisted and you know , and I just kind of knew , like the demographic of the people obviously that are going to be there .

Speaker 2

So I grew up super close with my grandpa , um , and I really , you know , I love frank sinatra , I love dean martin , ben crosby , all the old-fashioned stuff , the crooners and yeah and so I was like I don't know what it just popped in my head .

Speaker 2

Maybe god was like here you go , like here's an idea . Because I was like , you know , these , these people are like used to a certain type of comedy they're used to growing up with , you know , certain entertainers like Johnny Carson oh gosh , all the , just tons of different people and then music wise they're , you know , probably like used to a lot of that crooners stuff , the Rat Pack . Yeah .

Speaker 1

Little Elvis . Yeah , and so I was like I was like you know what I should do ? I should Bing Crosby , Bing Crosby .

Speaker 2

I was like I was like you know what I should do I should bing crosby , bing crosby um .

Speaker 2

I was like I should danny k , danny k . Well , and I kind of wanted to . I was like I want to do like a late night show , like a johnny carson , basically like where there's a little variety . So I was like , well , what if I sang a song at the beginning , yeah , and , and then did my jokes , you know , and uh , just to kind of give them a little extra , because I'm like I don't know how often they're getting out and what they do , and so I'm like , at the very least , I'm going to give them a good show .

Speaker 2

It's in , like it was in like their lounge kitchen lounge area . It was not fancy at all , yeah , but I wore a suit . I attempted to bring audio equipment that completely failed , so it was just me just up there with no mic , just , but it was , you know , a small space , yeah , and uh , but I did get my phone speaker connected to a jbl speaker that somebody had and so I was able to play , um , the karaoke version of fly me to the moon , okay , and I sang to it and then I invited them to say it was really cool . It was really cool and uh , they all had a blast , they had a great time and , like this one lady came up to me and had me sign her , her , her package of uh , it wasn't , it wasn't whoppers , it was snow caps , which I thought was so funny .

Speaker 1

And uh , she's like I also got like uh , good and plenty , no , she's , yeah , I also have those .

Speaker 2

Can you sign those ? She's kept pulling out candy . I'm like I'm not , like I don't work for the candy company . Do you work for the candy company ? Hey , you look like this guy in the lemon heads box . Yeah , can you sign that because you're bald ? No , she was like I got jim gaffigan , so I need yours . I was like I'm glad that you think that I should be up there with that guy . But , um , but yeah , it was just really fun and I feel like I love that crowd . Yeah , they're kind of my people . So , uh , I was like you know what ? Uh , most people probably look at it at a show like that . I don't necessarily say that , but some people might look at it , go oh , it's not a club or it's not a theater or whatever .

Speaker 1

Like oh , my god , you know , but I'm like no , like that's , that was so fun yeah it was awesome yeah , did I ever tell you about the time that , um , my punk band played for the group of second graders ? No , so you .

Speaker 2

So you did the opposite At my old grade school . Were you also a second grader at this time ?

Speaker 1

No , no , I was in high school , okay , and I don't know how we got hooked up with this , but we were asked to go in and play a few songs , and so we did . We went and played a few songs .

Speaker 2

For second graders . Yeah , at my old grade school .

Speaker 1

It's like for indie .

Speaker 2

Yeah , what did you play ? Like the Wiggles .

Speaker 1

No , we played punk rock .

Speaker 2

Like the explicit version .

Speaker 1

No .

Speaker 2

Oh , okay .

Speaker 1

No , that's awesome . We were a I guess you could say like we were a Christian punk rock band . So ska no , oh , okay , like punk rock band . So ska no , like punk . Actually punk rock no because we didn't have any horn . We didn't have a horn section , so we were playing . We couldn't be Tabasco , because that's copyrighted Tabasco sauce , right , so you couldn't be Tabasco , but that's what we wanted to be , so instead we named ourselves Pepper Sauce .

Speaker 2

Oh , I got it .

Speaker 1

I was like where is this going ? Yeah , so you're pepper sauce . That was the name of the band ?

Speaker 2

yeah , and it was . Uh , it was me and a couple other guys . Dude , that's awesome . Were any of these guys from the well-known band named chevelle ? No , or related to anybody in the well-known band named chevelle that you grew up with and you won't introduce me to , and I'm still upset about it .

Speaker 1

No , nope , okay , none of them . None of them . They wouldn't lower themselves to play for a bunch of second graders at Woodview Elementary School in Grayslake , maybe they would . No chance , no chance . So that's the closest that I can relate to that no chance .

Speaker 2

So that's the closest that I can relate to that . So you're saying is the closest you can relate to entertaining old people is entertaining extremely young people . Got it Okay , all right .

Speaker 1

But I was in high school . We took whatever chance we could get . Did you ever do Battle of the Bands ? Never , we were never that good . Are you kidding ?

Speaker 2

My band sucked and I did Battle of the Bands Never . We were never that good

Comedy Shows and Inspirations

Speaker 2

. Are you kidding my ?

Speaker 1

band sucked and I did Battle of the Bands . I think we sang one song . Sang one song and the rest was just instrumental . I was just playing stupid punk rock . It was so dumb . Well , it wasn't dumb , we had fun , of course .

Speaker 2

But it was like At the time , though you're like I am so getting a girlfriend time though you're like I am so getting a girlfriend .

Speaker 1

Yeah , let me just walk around the crowd , not at the second grader thing I'm thinking in general , but I do see how that sounded weird yeah , thanks I want to go back to what I said was that it was that you rewind yeah , yeah I'm still getting a girlfriend in my high school , where appropriate yeah , uh , no , no , I might have been done with high school by then , oh yeah so then you can't still creepy I don't remember , like why would I be in a school ?

Speaker 2

was this for charity was some were you dying ?

Speaker 1

was somebody dying ? We were definitely asked like , hey , I know a teacher that's looking for something fun for their second graders to do . Uh-huh , would you guys want to go play in their gymnasium ? I don't know , like I was like , say like , that it's gymnasium .

Speaker 2

You know , just like there's no pause in the word gymnasium . It's not like somebody's nasium , it's not like a guy named jim who owns a nasium , it's just gymnasium . Man .

Speaker 1

Like just my mistake okay , I'd rewind it , but I don't know how to make that , just indulged on that stupid joke yeah , I just kept going you did . It's really annoying , there was no , there was no stopping you . Anyway , what I was trying to say what is ? Your point of all this . We should get back into some of the crazy ways that you can come on the stage . Oh , because that was .

Speaker 2

I love the idea of having a mariachi band yes , that's still my favorite , I know , I think if I do dry bar , I think we have to find a I think we do I think that's it . Like I think we just have to find a local mariachi band to come on and then be like ole and then leave , and then introducing Matt Summerfield .

Speaker 1

You'd already be introduced , because they do the introduction .

Speaker 2

Oh , that's right , Matt Summerfield , please welcome to the stage , Matt Summerfield .

Speaker 1

And then it's .

Speaker 2

I just walk out . Do I walk out normally ? You better be in a sombrero .

Speaker 1

Do I wear a sombrero , mi amigo .

Speaker 2

And then I walk out with the sombrero .

Speaker 1

Throw it into the crowd , throw it into the crowd ?

Speaker 2

Is it too indulgent or ? Or or Does one of the mariachi men not have one on and he comes up to me , he stops playing and he gets your hat , takes the hat and he goes , give it back , puts it on , and then they walk away .

Speaker 1

I don't know .

Speaker 2

So funny . I like this . I like this . Do you want to do some sketch comedy videos with me ?

Speaker 1

I would like to record them . I'm not a great actor .

Speaker 2

I don't know why I paused , it just was funny . It's not gymnasium .

Speaker 1

Here's the thing .

Speaker 2

I think , what I'm going to do is I'm going to shave Like I've shaved my head . I've kept it going . Dude , I thought my nevus was growing back .
