so we take a look under the hood of this giant v, v ken and live up to its legendary gas powered cousin. read the 60 minute w would or sports scoring. we say they were about never giving up sports flies every weekend on d w. the

this is definitely kind of priest parish needs. then if he didn't exist, he'd have to be invented. if he's a man of faith and a nice change for the church, it's been, i'm a church rebel. the self proclaimed rebel has landed in edinburgh. his mission is unconventional. he's leading a group of whiskey enthusiasts through scotland. whiskey he says is holy, water, spirituality and spirit in one. the father of both gone hold has been organizing whiskey pilgrimages in his free time

for years. and they're almost always full. this is his 1st trip sense corona, bus driver. david williams is a familiar figure on the tourist. hello, hello. can you hear me? great. we're ready to go about this. i will stop. i just welcome to the promised land of scotland. david williams drives whiskey tours regularly, but the votes gone, holt taught him that they can also be seen as christian pilgrimages. didn't know who i was get and i looked at the identity and i saw the name. and when i saw a proof of gun come off the plane and i noticed how the dog color and this pulse like i said to him, is this okay, you know, he going to be drinking whiskey and he said, well, you know, the angels drink it. so, so i was quite a good on so that really help and the answer by something, you know, so yeah,

yeah. but usually is pretty cool. guy. it'd be 2010th. we don't want to neglect spirituality the other sense. so let's start with some, pres. yeah. yeah, i'm the beginning to present the beginning of a journey. it's ready, like it's all hand out the words of a human now kind of and then you make out d, david, happy again. my feeling his boss with i things macpherson on the, in the, in the name of the father and of this done. and of the holy spirit doing it me. the

before corona struck scotlands rugged judy attracted $15000000.00 tourists a year. the whiskey distilleries are a vital component of scotlands economy and many welcome visitors with tours. and of course, with the taste things, the john hutton shows the group around glenn going, the logistics is on my most important aspect is mindfulness and an article where we don't just go down the

alcohol and we appreciated with a little less census. jo, this isn't a wild engine involved. this is also kind, it's an exercise in mindfulness. so in the end and exercising a motivation, i'd look supplies of an people, domestic fatherhood does group bring scientific precision to the tasting room. looks more like a laboratory than a pub. this one the for the, the as well. some ways to 8 the number one to 5. i think i struggle thought you see the taste. you should last. you strong each one of them. they went to bye with the right, and the last is in front of a number. what defines both gone the whole to also see something divine in whiskey . also, you know, excuse me, what kind of jobs have a taste here? yeah, i just missed the one that actually you should say grace at such a originally prepared table, but this is already distilled into it. no one is drinking just to drink,

showing us just careful shipping and tasting refill hoaxes. so this one you have to start refilling this one. yeah. like a wayne get some don't taste the whiskey at all and they just snaps up as a top. it's called nosing and mother, when you look through this glass, you look straight into the haven't you storage because in historically that whiskey has and includes the single context statement. it's probably the only product that was invented behind the monastery bubbles on my one foot board and we have a product in front of us that is really ecclesiastical us, victim religious and origin. kick me thing, but i think it was, it was boxes to can more from both gone. gold is considered a whisky kind of source with the link to spirituality is his trademark. but whiskey makers don't entirely understand. well, you know,

not too much. i'm not too much familiar with a, you know too much of a history on the monks part of it. yeah. yes. bought me. what time she has like scotch risk. anyone who likes westgate? scott is the base westgate annually on the world. both guns, water has a special fondness for the british aisles. the escapes, they are in his thoughts when he was in a bad place in 2004. he was then vice rector of a seminary involved in the formation of new priests. he had disagreements with his bishop after an argument hotel had a dizzy spell. he claims the bishop had him lie down on a couch and drunk him. then hold the says, the bishop molested him the ass, and when i got home that he knows that i drank a glass of wine and to overcome my disgust and to shame bloss buying the whole

thing. i didn't know what the bishop gave me and these spots that visual for me. yeah. it was a psycho tropic drug and alcohol was a very bad combination with unemployment, final pharma coordinator. and i think by face the, the, i don't remember what happened off to that. and in st. louis, i thought later that night and i fell in an old jump from the balcony of my apartment invite, doesn't fall off. these are not, i don't know if i put in my novel, i just don't remember fi and pullman bustle. fremont as far as this needs to have a kind of a no vote. didn't tell anybody about the incident. the man he accuses of molesting him was his superior in the church hierarchy. both a suffered for 4 years submitting to absurd tests and punishments. he says finally, he was reassigned to the diocese. this of all and the port to i can honestly say i was told you a few and fits the full horrible years that have lived in lock. i mean, to this day and having the data, the guy tom. but it also showed me the absurdities and brutality the judge is capable of tardy tad. i'm curious to focus as more and more victims of sexual abuse,

raise their voices. a hotel brought his case to the attention of the cardinal. but nobody in the church believed his story. he was told the accusations were baseless and that he should keep quiet. the solicitations which i have since learned that there's a culture of silence in the church. i know good poor this vikings house. things that should be discussed because that's the only way that can be clarified and dealt with properly. the us swept under the carpet as on the light that then couldn't last month us. the church tries to keep them secret and coveted among. hi, mr. dotson one of us for pushing much to the hotel, refuses to remain silent any longer. he wrote a book about his experience. the bishop he accused of molesting him, has suitable to for defamation. and last 2 court cases, the back on tour. the conditions are quite luxurious for a pilgrimage. the

pilgrims stay at hotels, not monastery guessed houses. and there was no strenuous walking bus driver, david williams, and see to that the today they're headed to lindisfarne, also called holy island, a popular destination for day trippers. it can only be reached at low tide. the island lies off the northumberland coast and was an important centre of celtic christianity starting in the 6th century. but it's not just the picturesque ruins of the medieval priory that draw fatherhood to end his pilgrims. the fuck is here. we know the whisk route

here because in the ruins of the morning century behind us. and you can still see what's left of the green. how. how is this to is in the nation batch where the mash was prepared in the initial stage of the beer brewing process. but it's still intact, the interesting clunk that helps the monks also just do that. the which was common in many motors draft to obtain a high proof alcohol. then thing article he was used in monastic, and some are easy to produce medicinal teaches for me to mission control and come off the top. although it survived the vikings, it couldn't withstand the protestant reformation in the 16th century. stop kind of solar system was that lowered as they were 9 months of prices and capital lakes weren't allowed to practice their fate in england and also in neighboring scotland to meet the several centuries i shed off a foot board. but the reformation didn't make whisky distilling disappear. ones the preserve of irish and scottish monasteries. whiskey survived the

reformation, outside monastery walls. the contemporary distillers are happy to share their knowledge. although a risk of explosion means we can't feel that many distilleries. we're welcome to the borders distillery and are given a little safety briefing as we enter on top of that, there can be some sirens. you may see people running around. if i've seen com, it's a normal working. if you see me running, you might want to keep the group listens patiently to the distillery worker. it's the 3rd distillery on this pilgrimage, and they're familiar with most of the facts all ready to start to all for a good start with the need. just 3 ingredients, barley nice and warm,

but it's like a ritual. or a progression to start all is take are barley and put away this 20 percent of costs . they still listened closely to the story of how barley is transformed into with kick it out. in the large mash baths, the crushed grain is mixed with hot water. it starts in the barley turns into sugar . a strainer sits at the bottom of the bat and collects the sugar solution. the grain residue remains used has been added, which gets to work, producing alcohol and carbon dioxide. save across that you're going to get punched by slow part of that. it should be nice. so feel free to come up one by one. have a nice little chunk of it, the when the east culture dies, something like b or emerges. save

a pawn shop. there is but we prefer something a bit stronger around here. so we're going to take this 3rd to the cell house and produce a spare. copper stills are used for distillation. the temperature in these bills is close to 90 degree celsius, just below boiling point. i and the a lot of others prefer to lose around one percent. but one crucial step is still missing to turn this clear mold spirit into whiskey. in the holy root distillery, we see bulk barrels. the beverage may only be called whiskey if it has been aged in oak for at least 3 years. the barrels give whisky its color and much of its flavor . the it's the same ritual at the end of each distillery tour, a whisky tasting. but instead of with the holy rude offers,

the pilgrims knew make whiskey that's not quite mature yet. because holly root has only been producing since 2019 the bus driver, david understandably, isn't part taken. although he drives lots of tourists. he's especially fond of the whisky pilgrims. it's a very civilized group. yeah. yeah, there's very easy to get along with very friendly. they don't seem to get very drunk to be seen to be the dentist isn't how you the whiskey is me then with its common strong stuff like that. so it's not as if they'll just knocking them back sort of thing. so yeah, yeah, i mean this, if there's no chance of on the, on the boss with don't quite how pale but you know and, but yeah, yeah, lovely. good. that's also why it's not difficult to start early every day. both gone well. it has planned the tour in detail today. they're focusing on the famous

scottish novelist, sir walter scott good and good. 7 wouldn't be ready to solve the sides. classic novels, mike rob roy scott also wrote some famous poems including the lady of the lake. the scots have named one of the finest views in the scottish borders. after him, scott's view to walter scott is said to have loved standing here gazing at the 3 peaks of the island hills and the meandering river tweed below that rivers. and it's really beautiful. no. oh, the next stop is abbotsford house. so walter scott's home, the tour guide priest has something special in store who wants to say one of the

present petitioner bits and several of yeah so i, i only have 2 more blocks. the one i'm going to enroll in. so you can start coming inside there, celebrating mass and sir walter scott's own chapel. the religious aspects of this trip are vital to both gung volta the hi and hot golfing. i left the church, but he bought the pilgrimage. any way he wanted to give her a legend. another shot, a whiskey is just an added bonus. bin. either spoke bizarre, there's an old saying he that whisky is a liquid sunshine. then one. and then if you taste the whiskey consciously, acosta can tell that god wants human life to be good from deem the scot this good.

once mention line does, yeah, he wants to invite you to our lives and give us joy to shape and nice to end. this truth continues to show us that we schema take off even better on and then when you enjoy to get us off in east. but schmidt and the mazda of cindy, it's very interesting what we're doing here. on the one hand, it's about whiskey, which is okay, but you can do that any time. i enjoy my food. but it's also interesting to know once i'm eating, drinking consciously, living conscious leaves for a living consciously in the presence. it's a very interesting idea when it was gone, the whole to succeeds in bringing people back to the church. people like christine she left more than 30 years ago, but still feels a strong connection to the catholic faith by excuse and last enlightened the log into my fundamental us. i'm a and fanatics them and so they may see the light. every single card tones up top.

oh the think about what is it? so i was raised catholic and still feel a connection to catholicism, but a lot of what they teach it too narrow for me. so i'm no longer a member just being towed as a kitchen. wolf gang is different things the most gone or does approach a successful a mit stare? speed 20. if i started developing a spirituality of whiskey a slot, when i couldn't sleep one night on my now, i can and i had the idea was using my own passion for scotland, scottish culture and scottish whiskey uses that to confront people with questions.

and they've done with loudon statements in believable and it was successful on need from you at the i'm a common mention people came to my event types who wouldn't otherwise think of setting a fortunate to use what they spread out. in a cases it seemed to have both gone hold, has found his own path in the catholic church and sets his own priorities. he's open the gate and gives his priestly blessing, took we're couples. he also supports ordaining women. he's been a vocal critic of sexual abuse in the catholic church, but not everybody approves. this is on the found this. you must be the top it us monday if you me as a disloyal. i know because i focused on issues that present the judge thing in a bad lights off coupling. the kind of go to some of the case of allison when some under an, even, i'm almost a deceived as a troublemaker on the, as someone who never gives up a team on, as someone who's fixated on, what's important to me, it might be the dots on placed watson beach because once i was calling is i need to

sell both canyon bodies, something that the church itself doesn't represent currently. i hate to be tries to keep us in a place where we don't want to be as i was because of him. i'm not so concerned about leaving the judge. now he gave or just send us the crew is on. he's the best price we could have now. as the catholic church goes through these, trying times to each must have them come. but some, if i send you the invoice to talk to you, so what fascinates me about both going? yes, he's unconventional man at a time in conflict. he doesn't devoid controversial issues or struck me as a man at the church some years ago. in fact, we have opposite the coffin, how to find pa you on the in addition to focusing on important issues, the pilgrims also have a lot of fun on this tour. the scotland is a land of castles, old fortresses,

and beautiful scenery. 2 the negotiating a traditional maze is on every tourist's bucket list, the after the relaxing tempo of the countryside. something quite different awaits the pilgrims. edinburgh, the

pilgrims are hoping to surprise the priest before the tour is over. he voluntarily organizes the trips and the pilgrims don't pay for his travel. so they want to show their appreciation for his work. he knows what's coming and says he feels awkward when complimented or praised, of these visibly embarrassed. yeah, as well. it was under $500.00 eyes, a really lovely trip and that's why we spared neither expense nor effort to engage

some very famous singers to perform for you. they even brought along a choir on clement people. i proudly percent's pretty much finger. monsters by morgan is the own test done. this is good. and his home parish both gone to vote is only an assistant. the pastor is deputy, it's a humble position for a man who holds to doctor it, but he doesn't seem to mind as long as he can continue working as a priest. thank you very much. god bless you,

let me applaud you 1st. oh, lovely. thank you. god bless when i can promise you one thing already. right this i'll start planning next year's trip the day after tomorrow. at the latest of this been off in the que. i'm still in the judge side even finally because i want to make sure my opinions are being heard occasionally. smith on and if i were to leave, i'd be helping the very people who were the reason for my leaving was the and i'm not going to do them that fable and toy she missed. the

boat gun was i loved the catholic church in spite of everything. he loves catholic spirituality, the churches, traditions, and rituals. the and who knows. perhaps the self proclaimed a church rebel is creating a new tradition with his whiskey pilgrimages the
