Joe Rogan Samples Whiskey

There's something special and we're gonna kick this off with a bang. Uh oh. Yeah. Something I don't know about? Something you don't know about. Uh oh. But we'll get into it. Okay. Yeah. Special. Yeah. Tell me. You gonna do it now? Sure. Awesome. Let's do it. What's happening? Well, you and your team, you picked Fight for the Forgotten, my nonprofit, as Charity of Choice with Buffalo Trace. Yes. And we're gonna do something really special for all your fans. Oh. But first, um, I wanted to do something. I talked with Bo Beckman. His great grandfather's great grandfather, I think his name's like T.H., I don't know, Eckhart or something like that. He um, he started basically the modern day bourbon in America. So anyways, I asked him, I was talking with Bo and said, can we do something special for Joe? And he was like, yeah, what do you, what are you thinking? And so I talked with my buddy Ryan, who's the vice president of our board. And we thought about it and we're like, what if we could get a barrel from Buffalo Trace and we could give it to Joe? And so we thought we'd do a sample tasting for you and you get to pick a single barrel select basically, I guess I'm not a whiskey connoisseur, but basically you're about to be able to do a wine or not wine, but whiskey tasting. Really? You're gonna be able to pick out your own Buffalo Trace barrel that doesn't taste like any of the rest. And what I didn't know about barrels of whiskey is that, what is it? They come from like 70 to 90 year old trees. And then each one of them starts off as kind of like this moonshine look and it's clear when they put it in the barrels. But then the, the taste of whiskey comes from like 67% of the taste comes from the barrel itself. Really? Yeah. But the trees are all different trees, right? So those things, I think they call them staves or something. It's like a 28 to 35 of those things that make the barrel, but they come from all these different trees. Yeah. The wood slats. Yeah. And so they all taste different every barrel whenever it's a single select barrel. So I guess like what they do at Buffalo Trace is they take a bunch of those barrels and they put them all in there together. So it has one consistent taste, but whenever you just take one barrel, it's always unique flavor. Okay. So we got a few of them for you to try. Goddamn whiskey nerds. I'm not a whiskey nerd, but here we go. Here's going to be sample one. Oh, Jesus. Maybe to the left or right. Try to test these. Yeah. Well, here's the idea. It's like I'm going to get hammered again. Need glasses? Do you? We got them right here. Oh, he's got them right here. I thought the boat helped us out. So do you like yours with water in it? No. Wait a minute, girl. Well, this is the idea or this is how we wanted to say thank you. You used to pick your own thing. Yep. Here's the glass. This is hilarious. But this is why we're doing it. It's nerdy. Sure. This is. I like some nerdy grays. Don't worry. It's not a negative. Yeah. Here's why we're doing this. We wanted to say thank you from Fight for the Forgotten and Buffalo Trace because we're about to do this big raffle for Fight for the Forgotten, but you'll get 220 bottles yourself from whatever whiskey you choose. 220 bottles of whiskey? Yeah. But what we're going to do. Jesus Christ. Are you trying to kill me? No. If you'd like. It would have the Joe Rogan Experience logo on it. I have a thank you from Fight for the Forgotten. So this is sample number one. That's sample number one. Go on to the left. Sample number one. Sample number one. We'll get a little right there. And then. It's going to be a real problem this episode. I might start crying. This is sample number two. Okay. I can tell you about them actually. Can you really? A little bit. Specifically? These little like whiskey flask type deals. Yeah. So they took this straight from the barrel and each one of these should have a very distinct or different taste. And so basically you can choose it. I mean you can figure out. I don't know if you want to take notes. That's real nerdy. But they give me one of these. Oh, those are great guys. What is it? It's like hints and tastes and new barrel one, two, three, four. No, no, no, no, no. No, you're going to remember. We'll do this right here. By the time I get to barrel three, just guesswork. I did a pot tasting thing once. It was a pot tasting. Can you? Yeah. It was a cannabis cop. I was one of the judges. It was ridiculous. I was obliterated. But by the time I got to like the third or fourth choice, I had no idea where I was. I'm like, I couldn't feel my legs. All right. So let's try number one. Sample number one is seven years and nine months old. Okay. And from warehouse L for on the fourth floor. It tastes good. It tastes good. Very good. So now you would have to choose if you want to trace. They make a damn good whiskey. Yeah, they do. All right. They've been so good to us. That's number one. Now I'll try number two. I feel like such a dork. I'm smelling it and shit. Like, you know, I do that at one. Like if I buy a glass of wine in a restaurant, they pour it for you. They let you smell it. I don't know what the fuck I'm doing. I pretend you would know there's this. I've asked that too, because I used to serve it. I'd be like, why are people doing this? This seems so dumb. No one's ever given one back on a rare occasion. You have to send one back because like some of the one time I did have to send the glass back by the glass because I think they had it open too long. I was like, I'm just so I never do this. But I go, this tastes like vinegar. It's terrible. Yeah, it can rarely happen. But I think that was at a place where the bottle was just sitting around for like a couple of weeks or something. Nobody had ordered it. There we go. Number two. Number two. Number three is eight years, three months old. Very good, too. Which one do you like between the two? Do you know? They're both really good. I don't know. Yeah. They do make good fucking whiskey. Like you can taste the difference. Like some people like, how do you tell? What's the difference? So this is how Bo said it. All you got to do is like, if you have four pancakes in front of you, keep it simple. Which pancake do you like the best? Fucking pancakes. It was three. Yeah. Three's got a nice taste. That's a little unusual. Where's the rank? Three is eight years, two months old. So three the oldest? Actually two's the oldest so far. Eight years, three months. Two and three are my favorites. Two and three. It's like one. It's guessing. If you gave me one and said it was three, I'd be like, amazing. I have good taste. So you could see if one has more character, like a bolder flavor, one that you think your friends would enjoy more that don't know much about whiskey. They're all the same. They're all the same? I'm lying. I'm lying to these people. I can't tell the difference. They're all great. I think three was slightly different. Through a slightly different. But they're all taste like really good whiskey. Do you like to taste three and two? All right. Jesus Christ. We're going to do two and three. I dare to tell them two and three. But that's just like, if you gave me a bottle of one and told me it was three, I'd be like, perfect. I really wouldn't know. Okay. I'm just lying. Here we go. Here's three. It's real good. All right. Here's two. I mean, maybe there's a slight difference between two and three. Let's just go with three. It's a good number. Three is a magic number according to De La Soul. Three is the magic number. And that one was born October 25th, 2012. All right. Perfect. That's when it was born. Yay. So the base of what we're going to do is we're going to be able to do that and make you a bottle of 220 bottles and it'll have the Joe Rogan experience logo on it.
