it's not working for us to understand the holiness of whiskey the we've got some hot tips for your bucket list, the magic corner chat spot and some great coach on the board. us to boat w, travel off we go, the

this is definitely kind of priest parish needs. if he didn't exist, he'd have to be invented. if he's a man of faith and the nice change for the church, it's been, i'm insured through scotland. whiskey he says is holy, water, spirituality and spirit. in one. the father vote gun 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 to on the 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. both john holt taught him that they can also be seen as christian pilgrimages. didn't know who i was get and i looked at identity and i saw the name and doing a sort of proof of gang come off the plane. and i noticed out adult color. and this 1st, like i said, to me, is this okay, you know, i'm going to be drinking whiskey and he said, well, you know, the annual was drinking so, so it was quite a good time. so i didn't really have any answer but something, you know, so yeah, yeah, but he's pretty cool. guy. ad deed, maybe 2010th. we don't want to neglect the spirituality of a sense. so let's start with some, pres. yeah, yeah,

i'm the beginning of the present, the beginning of the journey. it's read as i get style, hand out the words of a human now kind. and then you make out d, david, happy again by filling his bus with us again. mckesson you done in the, in the name of the father and of this done by the end of the holy spirit. saying it to me. the before corona struck, scotland rugged beauty attracted $15000000.00 tourists a year. the,

the whisky distilleries are a vital component of scotlands economy and many welcome visitors with tours. and of course, with the taste things the and shows the group around glenn going the logistics is on my most important aspect is mindfulness. and of course we don't just go down the alcohol and we appreciated with little less census here. 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, right, with the life of an people, domestic fatherhood does group bring scientific precision to the tasting room. looks more like a laboratory than a pub. this one of the for the yeah. will some

later, today's the 25 and a has done whole thought. you see there's like a taste you should last you strong each one of they went to bye with the right. i mean, you're going to be glossed use in front of a number. what defines both gone the whole to also see something divine in whiskey or say, 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, keeps showing us just careful. shipping and tasting. we fill a whole said. so this one, the actual chart refill to add one. yeah. like away. 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?

cuz in historically that whiskey has and includes the single context statement. and it's probably the only product that was invented behind the monastery, the holes 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 bonuses to can was trauma. 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 times the i was 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 halter 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 . and when i got home that he knows that i drank a glass of wine to either come by disgust and to shame. plus mine good. told me 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 from our clients. i don't think but face the, the, i don't remember what happened off to that and, and similar. so 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 it's pulling 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 as well. and the top tool, i can honestly say i was told to feet and fits the full horrible years that have lived in lock. i mean to this day, the data, the guy, tom, but it also showed me the absurdities and brutality the judge is capable of target . ted, i'm curious to focus as more and more victims of sexual abuse raise their voices. holton 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 solicitations which i have since learned that there's a culture of silence in the church. i know quick poor despite things hashed things that should be discussed because that's the only way that can be clarified and dealt with properly. a swept under the carpet as lawn and delighted zen couldn't

best month us. the church tries to keep them secret and covet among hi, mr. the. some of us pushing our stuff. 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 c 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 in northumberland coast and was an important center 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, or we know the wind screwed 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 clinic that helps the monks also dispute. that'd be, which was common in many motors, draft to obtain a high proof alcohol. then think article it was used in monastic, and some are easy to produce medicinal teaches for me to,

to mission control and come off the top. although it survive the vikings, it couldn't withstand the protestant reformation in the 16th century. stop kind of solar system was that load 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 fill 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 score. twisty didn't need just 3 ingredients, barley nice and warm, but it's like a ritual. or a progression to star all is take or barley and put it away. this 20 percent of costs. they still listen 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 your cost that you're going to get punched by slow, farther back. 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 isn't it? 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, and these bills as 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 whiskey 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 holly rude offers the pilgrims, new make whiskey that's not quite mature yet. because holly root has only been producing since 2019 the bus driver. david understandably, isn't par taking, 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

. we don't seem to get very drunk because we seem to be the test isn't higher, the risk 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 which i'm quite happy about, 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 to the tour in detail today. they're focusing on the famous scottish novelist, sir walter scott good and good. 7 wouldn't come off, it's all ready to stop 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 and 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 prison, petitioner bits and several of yeah, so i, i only have 2 more blocks done. i'm going to enroll in senior can start coming inside there, celebrating mass and sir walter scott's own chapel. the religious aspect 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. been on. and then, if you taste the whisky consciously, acosta can tell that god wants human life to be good from deem the scot this good me once mention mine does that he wants to enrich our lives and give us joy to shame and nice to end this truth continues to show us that we scheme entails even better on and when you enjoy to get us off, denise. 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 enjoyed my food, but it's also interesting to know once i'm eating, drinking consciously,

living conscious leaves for sleeping consciously in the presence. it's a very interesting idea. when it was gone, the whole task 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 car 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

guns or does approach a successful mine a mit stare spinning 20. if i started developing a spirituality of whiskey a slot, when i couldn't sleep one night on my new item that i had, the idea was using my own passion for scotland. scott, he's a coach. and scottish whiskey says that to confront people with questions. insight on the loudest team and invaluable support and it was successful on need from, you know, i'm a common mention. people came to my events, i have who wouldn't otherwise think of setting a fortunate to use it for the spread out. in a cases, it seemed to have both gone, who has found his own path in the catholic church and sets his own priorities. he's opened the gate and gives his priestly blessing to queer 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 might be the last topic us monday, the 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 what the series of the kids have often when some and even my most of received 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, biggest ones, the wife calling is i use the cell volt 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 because of him. i'm not so concerned about leaving the judge. no, he gave or just send us the cruise. he's the best price we could have now. as the catholic church goes through these, trying times to each must have him come by somebody. if i send you the invoice to talk to so what fascinates me about both going? yes, he's unconventional man, a tightening conflict doesn't to avoid controversial issues on the struck me as

a man at the church some years ago. and 5, we have audited the call from outside 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. the negotiating a traditional maze is on every tourist's bucket list. the 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 wonderful. it is 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'm proud of her sons. the pretty much

gone to marsters by morgan is due on tulsa. and this is scott who is deputy, it's a humble position for a man who holds to doctor is 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 load you 1st. oh lovely. thank you.

god bless. when i can promise you one thing already. right this and i'll start planning next year's trip the day after tomorrow at the latest is this been off in the queue? i'm still in the judge side even slightly 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. and who knows? perhaps the self proclaimed a church rebel is creating

a new tradition with his whisky pilgrimages. the
