The Joe Rogan Experience.
There's something special and we're going to 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 going to do it now?
Sure.
Awesome.
Let's do it.
What's happening?
Well, you and your team, you picked Fight for the Forgotten, my non-profit, as
Charity
of Choice with Buffalo Trace.
Yes.
And we're going to do something really special for all your fans.
Oh.
But first, 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, Eckert or something like that.
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 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 were like, what if we could get a barrel from
Buffalo
Trace, and we could give it to Joe?
Oh, Jesus.
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?
And you're going to be able to pick out your own Buffalo Trace barrel.
That doesn't taste like any of the rest.
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 looking, it's clear, when they put it in the barrels.
But then 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 28 to 35
of those things
that make the barrel, but they come from all these different trees.
The wood slats?
Yeah, the wood slats.
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 a 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.
I need you to put that maybe to the left or right.
Do I have to test these?
Yeah.
Here's the idea.
It's like I'm going to get hammered again.
Need glasses?
Do you?
I think so.
We got them right here.
Oh, he's got them on the figure.
I got them right here.
I talked to Bo.
Bo helped us out.
So, do you like yours with water in it or no?
No.
What am I, girl?
Well, this is the idea.
Or this is how we wanted to say thank you.
So you put it in a little thing.
Yep.
Here's the glass.
Oh, this is hilarious.
But this is why we're doing it.
It's nerdy, sure.
I like some nerdy things.
Don't worry.
It's not a negative.
Yeah.
Here's why we're doing it.
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.
We're trying to give you a gift that you can give your guest.
Okay.
If you'd like.
I would love to.
It'll have the Joe Rogan Experience logo on it.
All right.
I'll 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.
Okay.
With sample number one.
Sample number one.
Give it 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.
And I can tell you about them actually.
Can you really?
A little bit.
Specifically?
I like how they come in 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 gave me one of these.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Bo's a great guy.
What is it?
Notes like hints and tastes.
You can do barrel one, two, three, four.
No, no, no, no, no.
How are you going to remember?
Well, then we'll do this right here.
By the time I get to barrel three, it's just guesswork.
I did a pot tasting thing once.
It was.
Pot tasting?
Cannabis?
Yeah, 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.
Came from Warehouse L on the fourth floor.
Tastes good.
Tastes good?
Very good.
I like it.
So now you would have to choose if you want this one.
Buffalo 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.
Hmm.
Like, you know when I do that at wine?
Like, if I buy a glass of wine at a restaurant, they pour it for you and 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, something's fucked
up.
Oh, one time I did have to send the glass back, buy the glass, because I think
they had it open too long.
I was like, I'm sorry.
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 weeks or something, and nobody had ordered it.
There we go.
Number two.
Number two.
This one is eight years, three months old.
It's 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 are 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.
Yep.
Three's got a nice taste.
That's a little unusual.
Where's the rank?
Three is eight years, two months old.
So, is three the oldest?
Actually, two is the oldest so far.
Eight years, three months.
Two and three are my favorites.
Two and three.
Oh, that's like one.
But it's guessing.
If you gave me one and said it was three, I'd be like, amazing.
I have good taste.
It's too yummy.
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.
They're all great?
I think three was slightly different.
Three was slightly different.
Do you need to taste three and two again?
Really good whiskey.
Do I need to taste three and two again?
You like three and two.
All right.
Jesus Christ.
Here we go.
We're going to do two and three.
Two and three.
I narrowed it down to 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 the magic number, according to De La Soul.
Three is the magic number, and that one was born October 25th, 2012.
All right, perfect.
So they say that's when it was born.
Yay.
So basically what we're going to do is we're going to be able to do that and
make you a
bottle, 220 bottles, and it'll have the Joe Rogan Experience logo on it.
Wow.
And then you can give it to your guest as a thank you for being on the show.
