    Glad to view this and see the science and passion behind the engineering. I am 20, turning 21 in a month so I see this learning process as essential to coming of age!

    But in the end he forgot to tell that they need to add water to balance it to 40% alcohol

      Teeling is bottled at 46 % as standard and much is cask strength at 55-60 %

    That was very well explained. Thanks!

    Interesting! Just an observation from someone who knows just enough to be dangerous.
    And I haven't had any Irish whiskey is decades.
    One of the effects of multiple distillations is that it removes the taste aspects of the mash. IE vodka is distilled down to what is defined as an "odorless tasteless liquid"
    So it seems they are triple distilling down to what is 160 proof grain alcohol then relying on the aging to impart the flavor.
    I'm not being critical just wondering if that's the "essence" of Irish whiskey.

      triple distilling came about in ireland basically because the brittish tried to end the irish whiskey industry by taxing malted barley.. the irish to circumnavigate this law used unmalted barley, but in order to extract more flavour needed to distill it an extra time..
      this has become the most known (irish whiskey style) however before this ireland would have used all the whiskey processes associated with scotch.. basically ireland invented scotch, and invented irish whiskey.. it was a brittish government clampdown that lead to a style change.. but malting, peat smoking, pot stilling, double distillong, tripple distilling etc. are all irish inventions.. the best whiskey in the world is in ireland.. if you like double distilation look at tyrconnell 15yo, great stuff.. if you like peat smoked whiskey look at connemara, lovely stuff..
      i myself like sherry finished triple distilled pot still, whiskey, i would suggest yellow spot or redbreast for this style.. uniquely irish and amazing stuff..
      hope this helps..

      @@calvinwade2751 One correction, you don't extract more flavor by distilling another time. If you distill multiple times it removes more "flavor". And you are left with more ethanol

      @@petep5003 more flavour (impurities) for want of a better word, is stored in the alcohol molecules than in water molecules tho.. the ageing process is perfectly designed to amplify this 👍

      There are one or two people in Ireland who won't like your choice of the phrase " Great Britain ". Ireland is not part of Great Britain. Not only did the Irish invent whisky but also kilts and bagpipes.

      The Irish gaelic spelling is poitin and it is pronounced pahcheen. You can buy it in Ireland but it won't be 80%. It must be at least 40% alcohol and the Teeling brand is sold at 52.5%.

    Splitting hairs..Great Britain united with the neighbouring Kingdom of Ireland, forming the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The state was renamed the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" after five-sixths of Ireland seceded from the United Kingdom in 1922.

      Kingdom of ireland had english king as its king as such wasn't really the kingdom of ireland.It was english landlords who owned land in ireland who voted for the act of union the native irish had no say in the matter and could not as catholics take a seat in parliament.
