Actually, on the topic of whiskey and mixed drinks Max Miller recently did 3 historical old west recipes, the ladt of which was an old whiskey cocktail recipe.

A fistful of dollars is my favorite

Good evening Santee, nothing like a fine warming sip of a good whiskey to warm the body thanks mate. Have a blessed weekend and week

Love your videos, have watched them for several years, however the telegraph you are listening to (the key) does not make the clicking noise, unless you are sending a message. The receiver is what makes the clicking sound, and you are not looking at one.

I always love these videos! Thank you for all your hard work, Sante. 🤠

Back then Alcohol taxes was a major finance for the federal government. Going back to the 1890’s.

Basically a non-drinker, but make my own beer (gluten free). Before I went to kindergarten I was taught how to distill with a great-uncle who was raised in the tradition. He came home from WWI and found the alcoholic wilson outlawed his trade. BTW, wilson died of complications from being an alcoholic. A stove top copper boiler, a mile of copper line, he and Dad made the barrels of white oak aged a year, and charred them. Every season he and I would run to abandoned farms and pick summer apples, then in the fall back to gather pears, peaches, winter apples and so on. One gallon of brandy went to the crusher (who did a half ton of fruit at a time), and the juice was put in barrels with tight lids for months. Meanwhile, greencorn sour mash, rye, and so on were perking. Dad raised pigs because pigs can eat the spent mash and not stagger around in front of revenuers. Well, not much LOL. Cattle got a little, too, but only up in the brush. Pappy and Gramps both followed the old tradition and like my uncle, made quality bootleg. No chemicals, and aged in oak casks, and delivered in them. niio

Santee, how about circuit riding ministers in the old west?

Did you ever figure out if there was any truth to what they supposedly called 1/4 Whiskey? Excellent video as always. Entertaining and educational. Love them.

Always entertaining

I've watched McClintock so many times it's become a family joke and never noticed the guy in the suit... guess I'll have to watch it again!

Thanks, Santee! I still make my own medicine using whiskey.

Another great video. Bravo Santee! Great job my friend

Wow! That 'stache of yorn was much darker 7 years ago! 😆

Well, you answered my question about a shot of whiskey,,that 12 cents a round did seem high. Geez! factory 45 Colt ammo is really expensive running a dollar a "shot".

Thanks for fact-checking the shot myth, Santee. The first recorded use if the word was here in the UK somewhere in the late 17th century. There is speculation that it is a corruption of the word 'short', which was, until very recently the most often used word in the UK to describe any measure of spirits. However, the word short' may itself be derived from an old Scottish word meaning (roughly) 'to shoot', suggesting the way the measure was poured swiftly into the glass. Scotch Whisky as produced in Scotland is generally matured in barrels made from American or Eutopean Oak, with only the American ones being scorched. The European ones are very lightly burned. The barrels may have previously contained Bourbon or fortified wines such as port or sherry respectively. You may have guessed I like Whisky and words.

Great video Santee

I've heard about it being whiskey in the old West. There were wattlesnakes, wuffians, and wong-eared wabbits to cause mischief.

G'wan back in those day, with a few bucks and you could surely have one helluva shindig. What with inflation and suchlike.

Great video Santee really enjoyed it. My cousin from Scotland's husband worked for a bourbon company in Scotland and transferred to Kansas.

So very awsomely interestingly informative video, i really liked and enjoyed it and learned a lot about whiskey in the old west frontier, i also got a lot of inspiration for my old west frontier, retrofuturism, retro vintage, occult , mysticism, esoteric and video games inspired writing projects. I,m probably going to be adding whiskey to my storys world for my writing projects. Todays story I,m writing is set in a Library and Media shop within a retro frontier wilderness town known as FaronBek City on Alessaeia Isle.

Ive seen a movie titled "Bite the dust" if that's the one Dirty Dan has worked on, but sadly I hadn't spotted him and the western was one of the best I have watched but wasn't bad at all neither.

Tell you what, Santee. You can have my bourbon, if I can have your tequila! -Desert Rat Rick

I was a bit surprised at how much champagne was available. I would have had whiskey anyway, but I never much thought of it being there. For some reason...

Another great episode and this one in particular wasn't hard to swallow!🥃

I love drinking in the knowledge, that Santee serves up.

Only one John Ford western? No Fort Apache or Rio Grande? Stagecoach? And probably the greatest western of all time The Searchers. Maybe you didn't see these movies? It had to be you didn't see these movies. Now Santee you have a lot of great westerns to watch. Don't miss The Unforgiven with Burt Lancaster, Audie Murphy and Audrey Hepburn either.

Anybody know which commercially available whiskey today comes closest to the taste of the ‘Oool West’ ? 🥃

A couple of those series I have never seen, the Lone Ranger, Gunsmoke, Big Valley, Bonanza were four of my favorites, one that was not mentioned was Little House On The Prairies, it didn't involve gunfights, Indians or crime. It was simply a normal family trying to survive in the old west. My all-time favorite still to this day.

i have been looking at gun store scenes in movies and i was hoping you could do one on gun shops in the old west

Santee's favorite drink and one of my favorite background instrumentals, Moonshine Town by JD Tundra! 🙃

Excellent episode, and now for a couple "fun" facts about whiskey - It's spelled two different ways depending on where it originates from, "whiskey" is how it was originally spelled in Ireland, and "whisky", which is how it was originally spelled in Scotland. Also, a common cure for methanol/alcohol poisoning from bad hooch back in the day, was actually about a shot's worth of quality spirits, such as whiskey, a method that is still used to this day in certain parts of the world.

Have a good weekend

Remember.. According to science, whiskey is a solution. 😁

So 45 colt was about 2 cents a round? So a shot would really be a cylinder. But given how a lot of towns had gun laws. I could see someone unloading their revolver before handing it in and if they got hard up at the saloon maybe trading the bartender six rounds for a shot. This might even have a positive effect if the later drunk individual got his firearm back but didn't have any rounds left to use it. I mean this is all just story speculation. But I could see that happening somewhere.

When I saw the title, I had to pause and grab a shot of Old Overholdt.

''...Whiskey you're me Darlin', leadin' me astray... Over hills and mountains And to Amerikay. Your swigger's sweet You days are dull, You're spunkier nor Tay Ahh Whiskey you're me darlin; Drunk or Sober...'' One bright summer morning -- about 34 years ago -- I got a call from my Business Agent. ''Get out to Mescal... Props Guy on ''Young Riders'' needs a helper.'' About 90 minutes later, I met with the production's Local 44 LA Props Head. He had a simple task for me: Make up some whiskey bottles. Get a cleaned bottle, fill it with Arrowhead water from the 5 gallon jug, and add a few drops of caramel coloring to make it look like whiskey. Then slap a label on it, and fill another one. [OK! A project I was emminently qualified for, from my long and vast experience.] The labels were all for JAMESONS IRiSH WHISKEY, my favorite flavor! [This is gonna be a cake day, I chuckled to myself.] Using my past knowledge, I got each bottle to the fine tint of reddish dawn I knew so well. A couple hours later the Props Guy came back to check on me. ''These are too light'', he said. I said they were exactly the right color for Jamesons', a brew with which I'd had some intimacy. ''Well just give 'em a few drops more food coloring. The real life color will wash out in the lighting. We're shooting for Series TV.'' So all my lovely bottles of fair-haired Irish, got turned shoe polish red/brown, like Jack Daniels. One must Suffer for Art. But that's Show Biz...

Another good one Santee, thanks for sharing...

I grew up in rural Mississippi and even as a kid I knew three places to get moonshine. It came in coke bottles, mason jars and gallon jugs. People sold it out of their house and generally you needed somebody they knew to get the stuff, but that wasn't a real problem. It was clear as water and if they added color it was generally snuff. It didn't affect the flavor because it was so rank anyway you couldn't make it worse. It was true rotgut and I am surprised I lived through it. If you were out in the woods hunting and caught a whiff of mash fermenting it was a good idea to go in the other direction. But Ms legalized alcohol in 1966. Before that the joke was the bootleggers and Baptists would stagger to the polls and vote dry.

Used Bourbon barrels are sent to Scotland. The best Single Malts are aged in used whiskey barrels.

👍🏻

"WHISKEY" a flavorite subject 😊

Very interesting!

Hiccup Hiccup Hiccup oh Hey Santtee give me the good stuff and keep that rot gut stuff behind the counter. Thank you very much keeping the Old West history alive and educating at the absolutely best level. It would funny seeing Rex take drink. You and Mrs. Pew Pew have a beautiful and blessed weekend.

My father once lived in a remote town in the western desert. Once a month a black man who lived like a hermit out in the boonies would appear to buy his monthly supplies. This was over 50 years ago and the desert wasn’t known for a lot of racial diversity. (Mostly whites, some Indians and Mexicans). This man always stopped at the bar for a shot or two of whiskey before returning to his solitude. Once my dad asked him why he never bought a bottle to take with him. The man shook his head and replied simply “It never keeps.”

To your health.🥃

Wow 7 years later....
