Blind Tasting Jameson: Original, Black Barrel, Triple Triple

A blind flight can humble anyone—so we poured three Jamesons without labels and let our palates do the talking. Between laughs, Guinness stories, and a few surprise sneezes, we worked through color, aroma, and mouthfeel to separate Jameson Original, Black Barrel, and the new Triple Triple. One glass leaned darker with char and spice, another felt creamy and layered, and the last stayed bright and easygoing. By the end, we called the lineup with confidence and compared notes on when to sip neat, drop a cube, or mix a highball with ginger.

We also dug into why casks matter so much for Irish whiskey. Black Barrel’s double-charred bourbon barrels and pot still heft brought toast, toffee, and a richer finish. Triple Triple’s bourbon, sherry, and chestnut casks added smooth depth without turning heavy or sweet, making it a standout step-up at a friendly price. The Original reminded us why it’s a bar staple: approachable, light citrus, and endlessly mixable. Along the way, we swapped pub lore, shouted out local spots, and teased a live recording at a hidden speakeasy tucked behind a beer cave door.

Then came an unexpected pairing win: an unboxing from Double Neat with bourbon-glazed jerky, whiskey pecans, maple-roasted almonds, and coffee pods. Sweet nuts softened edges and highlighted caramel notes; a little jerky heat brought out oak and char; coffee aromas echoed roasted cocoa vibes. If you’re building a holiday tasting, keep the pairings simple and let the casks do the heavy lifting.

If this kind of curious tasting and lively banter is your jam, tap follow, share the show with a friend who swears they can spot Black Barrel blind, and drop your pick for the best Jameson expression in the comments. Your recommendations guide our next flight. Cheers.

Um, they have the little machine that like uh draws on your pint. It can you put their logo on it, right? Yeah, or or uh, you know, mine came with a robin on it for some reason. I don't know. Um, so yeah, so they have all the little things like they do on espresso or whatever. Uh they do it on the top of a Guinness. Um, so instead of just moving the cup under it to do the shamrock, uh it actually it 3D prints it. So oh okay. So well, not 3D prints it, but it uh lays it out. So that was cool. So uh Gus is snug in Clausen. You can check them out for their happy hour for the pints, and Dimitri and uh Guinness, thank you for the swag. Thank you for that.

SPEAKER_06: 4:51

Yeah, when we were hanging at the Elks and Jamie, you walked over. We had the Lions game, we were all there. And Jamie, you walked over with their Guinness, 24-ounce glass of Guinness. It just reminded me of Mike Myers from So I Married an Axe Murderer. I believe I asked for a large I think I asked for a garage.

SPEAKER_05: 5:09

Yeah, it's just crazy. It was huge, I have not seen or referenced in a long time. I love pants, I love that.

SPEAKER_02: 5:17

I have a So I Married Axe Murderer t-shirt from when it came out. Um, so it's a gray t-shirt, and it's got the little just a so I married an axe murderer, you know, little on the chest. But then the sleeve you roll up the the sleeve, it's got the tartan um on the inside flip of the of the sleeve. I love it. Uh yep. Heed pants! No, look at the size of that boy's heed.

SPEAKER_06: 5:38

Swear it's like sputnik, spherical, yeah, quick pointy in parts. Wow, I guess I gotta revisit this movie.

SPEAKER_05: 5:46

Oh, we do have to be good, yeah. Harriet, yeah, we could we could go on. I need a bottle of water, but I can't go in the other room or else I'll see the results of the oh, Miss Catherine. Can you thank you? Agua.

SPEAKER_02: 6:00

So yeah, so we're doing a blind tasting today. We got some Jameises on tap. We're gonna get our Irish on, courtesy of my Irishradio.com. Plug, plug. I'm having I'm having a fun time with it. Plug, plug, I'm glad you are. So um, but yeah, so we're we got uh it's triple X today. It's not a Vin Diesel movie. No, they got they got one. All right, it's not a it's not a Vin Diesel movie. It it is uh it's it's triple all because all these are triple distilled, and then Jamesons came out with a new one called Triple Triple. So that's we called it yeah. I saw that at Kroger N Cap. Yeah, I actually had it at uh the Irish Music Cafe Studios, uh setting in with Patrick Johnson for the Irish Irish and and and what chestnuts? So yeah, so three so the triple triple it's a Jameson's is always triple distilled, but this triple distilled and then triple casked uh bourbon cash, sherry cask, and chestnut casks finish. Um I won't say anything, but I've I uh spoiler alert, I've tried it.

SPEAKER_05: 7:06

Sounds I think I feel like I've tried it. I saw in a bar and tried it, and it was like uh okay. But so will I be able to identify it? No, I doubt it.

SPEAKER_02: 7:13

We have we have the black barrel and then we have just the standard Jamesons.

SPEAKER_05: 7:17

No, it's not like the the black barrel, there's like a an IPA one and a stout one. It's not that no no no no. This is just the black barrel.

SPEAKER_02: 7:23

Okay, yeah, there's an orange, orange one. That one's pretty distinct. It's pretty I like that one. Actually, I got a I got a I got a little airplane size bottle from somewhere somehow. Very drinkable, and uh so I made a cocktail with it. And uh, I think uh keikos. A lot of times when I'm at Caicos, they're I'm checking out and they're like, hey, try one of those. Hey Jamie, good to see you! Yeah, my parting gift at Caicos.

SPEAKER_07: 7:46

Probably one of the best liquor stores in the country.

SPEAKER_05: 7:48

Oh, yeah, without a doubt. Joe and Giovanni. We uh we go through so much bourbon and rye here that I I've kind of lost a taste for Irish whiskey. It doesn't, is it it just it's so distinctly not the bourbons and rye that we're drinking? It's soft, yeah. Unless you hit a red breast 12. Well, that's another that's just that's another beast. It's another beast. But yeah, I guess kind of lost a taste for it.

SPEAKER_01: 8:09

But when I went to Ireland, they I was told that you're not supposed to ask for a type of you can't say give me a Jameson, give me a type of whiskey. You just say I want a shot of whiskey. That's it, and then they pour whatever they want to give you. This tourist wants, yeah, whatever this tourist wants. Well, you're not a you're not supposed to. It's like kind of like the thing. Hey Roger, get the spittoon. You're just supposed to say, I want whiskey, and then they decide what to give you.

SPEAKER_05: 8:41

Yeah, they're not deciding what I'm drinking. I'm just saying, yeah, that was that was a thing. Okay, all right.

SPEAKER_01: 8:47

They also called me Katrin.

SPEAKER_05: 8:49

Yes, Catrin. So so we got regular, old, simple, your your basic, you know, Jameson that you drink with a pickleback, right? And then the black barrel and the triple triple and the Jamie's favorite, the pickleback triple triple, yes, extra smooth.

SPEAKER_02: 9:05

So um, all right, layers of flavor. Looking at these, I don't see a distinct difference.

SPEAKER_04: 9:10

Well, maybe one of them is I can't I can't tell if I'm looking at my glasses, but looking at your glasses, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 9:16

I can't see it on mine, but across the way, yeah. So um, yeah. All right. Okay, one, two, three. One, two, three. All right, so we have three. Um, so start with number one, I guess, right? Yeah, it's already been placed in front of us. I'm gonna rinse a and our little specimen cups.

SPEAKER_06: 9:33

Yeah, let me rinse my palate off here, real quick.

SPEAKER_02: 9:36

So, yeah, I I brought the we did another tasting and I brought these cups home. Uh, and we numbered them and I was washing them out. Colleen's like, what on God's good earth are you doing?

SPEAKER_01: 9:46

Oh, those are from last time. Okay, yeah. I'm like, oh, he pre-numbered them already. I don't have to do that.

SPEAKER_02: 9:51

No, I took them home and washed. I took them home and washed them. Those are the ones, these are the ones I numbered from last time.

SPEAKER_06: 9:56

Did you wash your car too? I washed them.

SPEAKER_02: 9:58

All right, okay. Okay. Do you try Matt? Do we want to do we do we want to know a little something, something about Jameson's distillery? I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_06: 10:06

I think we should taste first and then talk mash pills based on what we think they are.

SPEAKER_01: 10:11

Number two is definitely a lot darker. That's gonna be kind of a giveaway.

SPEAKER_06: 10:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 10:19

From my well, I don't know anything.

SPEAKER_06: 10:23

Now during COVID, I did drink a lot of Jameson.

SPEAKER_05: 10:27

That's COVID's when I had my uh my relationship with Wild Turkey developed. That's how we became buddies. You and the uh what is it, the Hederson family? Is that uh Wild Turkey and uh Sobieski became a staple of our bar. That was my my go-tos for COVID. All right. All right, so number one, got it. It made so that's such a weird flavor, considering I have Sazerac rye in my glass, and then you drink this, it's like, oh man, palette palette shot. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 10:58

Are you guys gonna tell each other until the end? Okay. I'm trying to figure out.

SPEAKER_06: 11:04

We all tried number one. Now we're gonna now we're moving on to number two.

SPEAKER_02: 11:08

Yeah. But I don't know what number one was. I'm not sure. I gotta get to the other ones before I make uh before I commit to anything.

SPEAKER_06: 11:20

All right, yep, all right, yep, I'm there.

SPEAKER_05: 11:23

But the color on number two is a little darker. It's much darker, which yeah, you don't think of color with Irish whiskey.

SPEAKER_01: 11:30

I should have brought pickles.

SPEAKER_05: 11:32

Oh no, they they they wouldn't pickle back it.

SPEAKER_02: 11:35

No, I cry like a I'm allergic, I break out in hissy fits. I break out in hissy fits.

SPEAKER_05: 11:44

So there's a gentleman, you guys might have met Mr. Tom Stackpool. Uh a regular, pretty much a once-a-week guy at Whiskey in the Jar, right? Loyal Telemore dew drinker, cannot drink Jameson, or he immediately starts sneezing. Really? Wow, and once a year, Mikey and I would always fuck with him and we'd sneak him a Jameson, watch him start sneezing, and go, damned if he wasn't fucking with us, it's true, and then we pay his bill. We're making him sneeze. But yeah, he's uh he he could drink telemore dew and powers all night. But you give him a jameson and he just starts sneezing. And he's a he's you look at him like this guy is a hundred percent Irish. That's interesting. That that would cause you to sneeze. Yeah, I don't get it, but it is what it is.

SPEAKER_01: 12:24

Altoids make me sneeze. Okay, just Altoid.

SPEAKER_02: 12:30

And number three. Yep. Oh yeah. Huh.

SPEAKER_06: 12:36

So one and three are are very similar for me. I got it. I got it nailed. Boom. I'm right. One and three are very similar for me, but I still think I'm right. I and I could be completely wrong, but but I think I got number two locked in. I think I do too. I think that's a lot of very short periods.

SPEAKER_02: 13:00

Before we start uh giving our uh uh talk to us, Goose. Goose and then maybe maybe uh maybe we'll change our mind when we learn about the mash bills.

SPEAKER_01: 13:09

Do you want me to bring the other bottles in? No, okay.

SPEAKER_06: 13:13

All right, so that's not what I said. Higher register response. So James Jameson whiskey, the mash bowl, it's actually it's it's not a single grain recipe, it's a blend of two different whiskeys. Okay, so there so there really is no big mash bowl, but it's a single pot still whiskey. So they do it one time with the two different whiskeys. Huh. So there really is no mash bowl, but it's uh malted barley and unmalted barley that they use. Oh, okay. In the J regular Jameson. All right, from what I'm seeing here as far as mash bill goes, but the triple triple mash bill, I'm trying to get there. If it will get JamesonWhiskey.com will help me out here. Yes, I am over 21.

SPEAKER_05: 13:58

This I you know, I hate some of those, some of those uh whiskey sites with those guys write those crazy reviews about all the notes and flavors. It's like, did they just go to chat GPT and get you know all these this words like some of it's crazy, right? The baking spices and uh the uh herbs that providence is a dominant flavor, and it's like, what are you talking about? God bless you. Well, maybe you're allergic to Jameson too.

SPEAKER_02: 14:22

Start sneezing it was the power of suggestion, right?

SPEAKER_06: 14:26

The power of my power of persuasion compels you, does the power of persuasion compels you exercise that snot right out your dome, dude? That's that's par for the course with Mr. Flanagan. There is uh finding uh mash bill here.

SPEAKER_01: 14:41

How much influence does the casts have on the whiskey?

SPEAKER_05: 14:45

Like, oh a lot of it in the color, to be honest with you. The color is uh okay, a big part of it. Um, but the flavors you do get different flavors. Like the most dramatic one that I that I talk about is the um basil Hayden dark rye. Yeah, you take the regular basil Hayden and the dark rye, which is aged in a port barrel, which is a wine, and um it just is sherry cask. Sherry, oh sherry cask. That was pork barrel.

SPEAKER_03: 15:07

Yep.

SPEAKER_05: 15:07

Anyway, sherry casks, and it uh it changes the flavor, it smooths it out, it adds this whole different note.

SPEAKER_01: 15:13

So okay, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06: 15:16

I always wondered that you gotta you gonna live, Jamie? No, oh man, it's Jameson makes people sneeze. I'm telling you, it it's that's real.

SPEAKER_01: 15:27

Oh man, uh is it Catherine's perfume?

SPEAKER_05: 15:30

Oh, it's probably my perfume. It's your new uh deodorant.

SPEAKER_01: 15:34

Uh yep, Jameson. Just a little dab of Jameson.

SPEAKER_06: 15:40

You know, you gave me four minutes to find this stuff, and uh, I'm uh failing miserably. Oh, it's all right.

SPEAKER_05: 15:47

Just go to one of those goofy websites where those clowns all say all the crazy words.

SPEAKER_06: 15:50

Anyway, usually it comes right the the whiskey wrench.com. Let's see what they have to say.

SPEAKER_01: 15:55

Is there any other whiskey brands that do a triple cast? I'm sure they all have. Yeah, they all do. Okay.

SPEAKER_06: 16:02

All right. Nope, no mash bill there.

SPEAKER_02: 16:07

All right, it's all right, it's all right.

SPEAKER_06: 16:09

All right, but I'll I'll tell you that I I think I know which one it was that we uh just tried. Of the three. Pretty darn sure.

SPEAKER_02: 16:20

I don't know. You don't know if I can stop sneezing. I want to try to taste it. So you can sneeze some more.

SPEAKER_01: 16:29

Oh excuse me, Jiminy Crickets. You had to tell that story, babe.

SPEAKER_02: 16:36

No, no, right.

SPEAKER_01: 16:40

Podcast of sneezing.

SPEAKER_05: 16:41

Hey, this is this is this is brilliant radio right here. Yeah, I know. All this time waiting to read and sneezing, dead air and sneezing, yeah.

SPEAKER_06: 16:49

So everyone's so that Jameson triple triple comes in. Four of our listeners are gone. They're all gone. It's an 80 proof that it comes in. I had four. They're gone. There was four gone. Sneezed them right off the feed.

SPEAKER_05: 17:06

Sneezed them right off the feed. Oh damn.

SPEAKER_06: 17:11

That's funny. Yeah, 80 proof it is. So there you go. That's a that's your mash bill. 80 proof. All right. All right, fellas, what do we have?

SPEAKER_05: 17:19

Jameson triple is a more complex version of the original Jameson, distinguished by its maturation. If you can find it, then three types of cash bourbon sherry and chestnut. Adds layers of flavor like toffee, cacao. I hate it when they call it cacao.

SPEAKER_07: 17:33

Kacao!

SPEAKER_05: 17:35

And toasted almonds. In contrast, Jameson Original is known for being reliable and easy drinking with lighter citrus and spicy notes from its maturation in traditional oat casks. Thank you, Chat GPT, for that. Oh, yeah, okay. Or whatever AI thing it just AI overview. Yes, okay.

SPEAKER_01: 17:51

Yeah, I like the bottle. It looks it looks very Irish with a green. Yeah, you're right. It's actually a pretty looking bottle.

SPEAKER_06: 18:00

I think we just painted our one of our walls that green color.

SPEAKER_05: 18:04

Yeah. Yes, one of these is definitely more complex than the others.

SPEAKER_06: 18:09

Yeah, triple distillation. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 18:13

So, but the deal with the the the black barrel is it's a higher proportion of single pot still whiskey and maturation in double charred bourbon barrels. Um, so double, it's it's like a double char bourbon barrel.

SPEAKER_00: 18:27

That's what you'd make it without us, could you?

SPEAKER_02: 18:29

That's why I think we got number two lock needs spicier, richer, and smoother. Um, notes of butterscotch toffee and toasted were wood.

SPEAKER_01: 18:38

So are you gonna change your answers now? No, I'm sticking.

SPEAKER_02: 18:42

I did for a time. I stand, I stand the cheese stands alone. I didn't change it.

SPEAKER_04: 18:45

Then I'm going back to my original. I'm going back to my original.

SPEAKER_02: 18:49

All right. So um I'm gonna say that number two was the black barrel. That's where I'm at. I I was at number two as a black barrel. All right, two. So number two was I had as a as the black barrel.

SPEAKER_05: 19:01

I I I I thought that this one's aged in three different barrels, too, and I just couldn't get the color to look to line up. So, but I think we might be wrong. I think I think it might be the triple.

SPEAKER_06: 19:10

I do think number three is the regular Jameson because it's lighter. I said the same thing. Okay, that's why I went number one being the triple triple.

SPEAKER_02: 19:18

I got I got smoother. I I got it was a a little creamier, a little smoother on the uh on the number one for me. Yeah, number one I thought was the triple triple. Yes, okay. Well, we are all in agreement. We're all higher and three regular. Um three was regular. So number one was a triple triple, two is a black barrel, and three was the regular. How how'd we do?

SPEAKER_05: 19:39

We all had the same guesses.

SPEAKER_01: 19:41

You all got three, right?

SPEAKER_05: 19:44

So number three was the regular.

SPEAKER_01: 19:47

Three is the regular.

SPEAKER_05: 19:48

Oh so number two is the barrel age, the jam, the triple triple is number two.

SPEAKER_01: 19:52

One is triple triple. Oh, that's what we said. Oh she was teasing. Oh, sorry, sorry.

SPEAKER_05: 19:58

Okay.

SPEAKER_01: 19:58

I read your notes. I brought a three as a triple.

SPEAKER_02: 20:00

Yeah, so that's a triple.

SPEAKER_01: 20:02

Two is the black.

SPEAKER_02: 20:02

All right, we're gonna give me a bell, give me a bell. Dang, hey, baby, look at that.

SPEAKER_01: 20:09

You will get your alcoholic certificate after the black ass certificate of alcoholism.

SPEAKER_02: 20:17

Good drinking.

SPEAKER_06: 20:19

You guys got great palettes, yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 20:22

So, but that that triple triple is a little smoother, right? It's a little cream creamier, it's uh not smoother because I don't like the word, it's got a creamy, a creaminess to it for me. On the nose, it you know, it's distinctly Jameson.

SPEAKER_06: 20:35

It's yeah, on the nose, but what on on the palette was more, yeah, it kind of didn't hit like a regular Jameson would, right? That's where number three came in.

SPEAKER_05: 20:44

I'm like, yeah, three is the lightest in color when you're looking at them. Yes, it is. It's a it's the more urine-y one, yeah, right.

SPEAKER_01: 20:50

Would you sip on any of these, or are these like strictly mixing?

SPEAKER_05: 20:54

Uh that's a great question. I would probably sip on I sip on anything. I Jameson rocks all the time. I Jameson rocks all the time. I I definitely I usually bourbon. I don't Irish whiskey is always a shooter for me. It just is, you know, I just I rocks it.

SPEAKER_02: 21:06

I rocks it. The black barrel, I rocks it. I don't uh do a straight, straight. I mean, do you mean like just sip on meat? Right.

SPEAKER_01: 21:14

Like the way I is this something you would sip on, or is this something you would want to well I do it with rocks?

SPEAKER_02: 21:18

I don't yeah, it and Jameson's in ginger is uh a a go-to cocktail for me when I'm out and about.

SPEAKER_06: 21:26

SPEAKER_05: 26:19

Yep. I think I would drink the triple triple again before I drink the black.

SPEAKER_02: 26:23

Really? Yeah, the triple and the black is more expensive. Do total wine, do the black barrel for total wine. It's probably 40, 39 or 40.

SPEAKER_01: 26:47

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_05: 26:50

Like I so we're leaving the house, and Kat wants to take some wine with her. She puts it in this paper cup and was gonna put a lid on. I'm like, why don't you just put it in a Yeti like regular alcoholic house five?

SPEAKER_00: 27:00

She's like, Oh, you're right.

SPEAKER_02: 27:02

You're not driving. Yep, no. I got a nice Syrah's in there.

SPEAKER_05: 27:07

It's uh finished in the box from Kirk. Is this the Kirkland box that you're experimenting with?

SPEAKER_01: 27:12

No, this is the finest Boda box.

SPEAKER_05: 27:15

The Boda box. Oh, the Boda box. Didn't you try the Kirkland box wine?

SPEAKER_04: 27:19

Didn't we get that last time there?

SPEAKER_01: 27:20

It was okay.

SPEAKER_06: 27:21

It was it was how much boxed wine did you drink as a teenager?

SPEAKER_01: 27:25

My first like time I got drunk was Franzia.

SPEAKER_06: 27:29

Franzia Franzia, yeah, box wine.

SPEAKER_05: 27:31

The box wine is a great invention because when we were kids, it was always those gigantic fucking jugs of Julian gallo that my mom would have because just one cheap house wine, table wine, you know. It was those big heavy glass jugs of Jill of uh gallo. Now you just put that that box is so much easier. Women can carry it, they're not breaking their toes, they're not breaking glass.

SPEAKER_06: 27:50

So I I I will share with you that my mother does listen to us every once in a while. Oh, fair badly. And and she may or may not know this, but yeah, I used to sneak wine from her boxed wine, the Franzia, as a teenager, and I would I would have a couple of nips. She was none the wiser because you never catch it.

SPEAKER_05: 28:08

Cat will attest. I brought all the winemaking gear out of the basement today. It's starting to gather in the kitchen. Oh, yeah. And I'm gonna get back on. I have spent two.

SPEAKER_01: 28:16

I would also like to attest that I was a um I worked at the church, and that is Jesus' blood is Franzia.

SPEAKER_02: 28:25

So you will sunset blush.

SPEAKER_00: 28:29

Sunset blushes' blood type.

SPEAKER_02: 28:32

When you do a batch of wine, right, you start with juice, right? You're not you're not Lucille Ball and stomping out like grapes.

SPEAKER_06: 28:38

You're using like uh ocean spray. No, no, no.

SPEAKER_05: 28:42

No, I mean I I will back sweeten sometimes with things like uh like a blackberry. I don't I was actually looking at juice today. It's like, should I add something to this Pinot or no? I do a really, really good, my whole family loves my blackberry Pinot Noir. Right, right. And I I just got to get the the juice from the right guy in Georgia. You got this organic juice. Okay, you put some in ahead of time and it kind of adds you know, makes the uh alcohol level higher because of the sugar content. Then you put one in after you ferment it and just for sort of like back sweeten it because you kind of kind of ferment some of that taste out of there. Yeah, so it adds just that little hint of blackberry, makes a great little Thanksgiving wine. So uh I make it, but the red wine now we won't drink it until next Christmas. Sure, yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 29:19

So but is as you're as you're creating a batch here. Um, how big of the batch? Is it a five-gallon sub that just gallons six-gallon you do? And and what uh how much do you get out of that? Two cases plus, yeah.

SPEAKER_05: 29:32

Okay, I mean you can you can put in less water or more water. How much space do you need to do this? Is this just like sitting in the corner of the kitchen? You got it in the basement. You got a Home Depot looking bucket, yeah. That's it. Now, when you're bottling, that can be a mess, which is why my label is called sorry about the mess, and it has a picture of Han Solo's blaster on it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Right, you know, sorry about the mess. Okay, but yeah, so it's a messy the bottling and the transfer stuff, like you you make it in a bucket, they transfer it to the big glass carboy, and you age it and you add. Kill the yeast, you got stuff. That whole transfer process with the pumps and the siphons and stuff that can be a little messy. I always make a mess. Right. Because I always got towels all over the place. But um, yeah, it's it's fun, it's a fun little hobby. All right.

SPEAKER_02: 30:12

So some gurgling wine in the corner of the house. Because you've gifted me, I think, two different bottles, and they were I I enjoyed them both.

SPEAKER_05: 30:18

Uh I think I gave you a Spanish Tempernillo once, and uh, I'll have a I will have a white wine for Christmas for you guys. I'll have a my crisp winter white. Oh how long do they keep? Oh so I there it's recommended to drink homemade wine within two years.

SPEAKER_06: 30:34

Okay.

SPEAKER_05: 30:35

Um, you can add things to it to make it stay longer. Sure. Um, I know Danny D has got bottles of mine that are six, seven years old.

SPEAKER_06: 30:42

Yeah, and there's something like you're saying there's a chance.

SPEAKER_01: 30:44

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I like the Tempernillo that he made. Yeah, that's hard. It's it's good stuff.

SPEAKER_02: 30:49

Yeah, there's uh yeah, that's a bottle of wine, it's not making it two years in my house. No, although no, I've had a bottle of champagne. Um, yeah, it's probably a good eight years. Yeah, I don't know if it's any good because it was a nice, it was a nice bottle. We're like, oh, let's save it for a nice, you know, it's an ice bottle, and oh, we're not gonna drink it. And so we just we've never drank it. And it's like one of those Mrs. Vino bottles. It's like we gotta we just gotta damn, we just gotta do this thing.

SPEAKER_05: 31:13

SPEAKER_02: 31:24

Can I make little hockey jerseys for the bottles? Yes. So we have I have those, they make those.

SPEAKER_05: 31:29
