** What's with the necklaces?
Rex is a whiskey mooch. His necklace is a manifestation of pure glory - forged from the irradiated bones of eagles and wolves. Also a tube sock.
See the origin story here: goo.gl/JMc2Hr
Daniel is a whiskey sommelier. His necklace is a token of his sommelier level, and he trains whiskey sommeliers at The Whisk(e)y Marketing School in Austin Texas.
**A Whisk(e)y school?
Yup. Here are a few things we believe.
** You don’t have to be a snob to appreciate and love great whiskey.
Whisky and Whiskey (it depends on where it’s from) have been an important part of cultures around the world from time immemorial. Whiskey is a part of the very fabric of Western society, and in most places, is as common and accessible as beer.
Like Jazz and wine, snobs have predictably hijacked whiskey appreciation, spoiling our natural, common connection with it and creating a false dichotomy of “good whiskey” and “bad whiskey.”
It’s time to break through the emotional bias with facts and science. That’s what this school is about.
** The only valid definition of “good” whiskey is “whiskey you like to drink.”
Learning how to share your love of whiskey in a way that connects people to the history and the story has more to do with public speaking and storytelling than it does with facts and tests.
The best way to learn about whiskey and share that love is to drink whiskey and talk about it with friends. Study the history, find the stories, and discover the culture and the methods that have been developed over hundreds of years. That’s what you’ll do when you attend The Whisk(e)y Marketing School.
** You don’t need a marketing degree to learn how to share your love of whiskey with the world.
There's an old saying, "In business, it's not what you know... It's who you know."
Regardless the industry you're in, most people are clumsy and ineffective when it comes to "networking" because they ignore a very important rule - Relationship First, Business Second.
There's a tremendous amount of curiosity about Whisk(e)y today. It's a great excuse for you to gather a group of people who want to have fun and learn something new. The Whisk(e)y School teaches you how to tap into that curiosity, and share your love of whisk(e)y in an unpretentious way. You're demonstrating knowledge, expertise, and an engaging personality - things valued by every gatekeeper, in every industry.
Or would you rather hand out business cards and cross your fingers?

I move that "story time" should become an official thing on this channel. Can I get a second?
:P
Second
I thought you may like that HAHAH
If anyone skis on the East Coast, go to Sugarbush Vermont during peak season and outside the bar you'll have local distillers that offer tastings and sells their stuff.
I just did a side by side of Bulleit Rye @45% and Mad River Revolution Rye @ 48% and wow is Bulleit tame and one noted. It'll burn you if you don't breathe right when drinking it, but it has so much more going on than the Bulleit. Check it out if you're in Warren Massachusetts.
Bought a bottle of bulliet rye and boy it was awesome! For some reason I can drink bourbon straight but find scotch a lot harder to drink. I don't know why that is.
For a long time, i never tasted rye in rye whiskey. It was always vreamy and buttery. So, your review sounds super accurate to me.
If you can manage it, recording episodes at distilleries in Scotland would be awesome! Possible with special editions or limited releases? With distillery staff?
If you're worried about the broadband situation, just record extra episodes before you leave to have in the can, and then upload the ones from Scotland when you get back.
You know why Waldo always wore stripes?
He didn't want to get spotted
That's not a dad joke, it's a masterpiece.
bam
Who's Waldo
And where the hell is he?!
Isn't that the question. Haven't spotted Waldo since episode 25. That's why I've been watching... Well that, and the dad jokes.
Just run the moonshine through an oak funnel or hollowed-out oak dowel rod directly from still to bottle. Wizard Bourbon: A spirit kissed by oak, nothing more.
oak kissed spirits. I love it.
I love that the videos are getting longer and longer! .... as they say
"A" for effort on pronouncing my name! But it's french-canadian, not hispanic. So all the "s" are silent and "ch" is pronounced like "sh" in english. :)
Well damn. We made a border mistake :-)
Yep... Really massacred that one haha. Funny to hear (french canadian too Btw)
Fancy name
I've asked several women that I know if you had to pick one pain birth or kidney stones what would you choose and they all chose birth here's a glass of whiskey toast to you Daniel may you never have to go through that again!
The pain of giving birth is like a dream you forget all about it shortly after it’s over. Birth is far worse though
Dude, I love the stories! Keep them coming :)
Still It Agreed, I propose that once a month Daniel should tell stories for 30 minutes and Rex has to sit quiet sulking in the background while drinking whiskey.
I think all of us that love Daniel's stories should start a petition.
Hear hear!
Rex could, of course, sit in the corner and drink water too! I feel like this should be a punishment hahaha
Shane Stangle motion started in another comment ;)
Basically I was just wondering if any scotch distilleries made a Bourbon according to US regulations. It'd be something I'd like to try. We've talked before about grain whiskey and the fact I have zero experience with it. If you could do a few episodes on them that would be amazing. If you have any that are mostly corn that would be even better! Maybe even compare it to a Bourbon?
I know we wrote off at least part of my highschool band trip to Scotland as business expense saying we were taking in the different architectural styling.
I found your channel a few days ago through the Modern Rogue and have really enjoyed expanding my whiskey knowledge by watching your shenanigans (which would be a great name for an Irish whiskey). Would love to see a review of Eagle Rare 10 year and perhaps a comparison with Buffalo Trace. Keep up the good work!
Welcome! I've got Eagle Rare on the list.
I’m not sure where this is in ya’ll’s order of reviews but this one is way up there as far as “professionalism” goes! (Whatever That means!) (histórical) But really enjoyed this one!) 👀😎

Work has sucked and to make it worse I work on the road and never get alot of home time. I finally make it home after two weeks away and my gf said she would make it all better. She most definitly did!...How you ask...i obviously had the same thoughts you are having now but I/you would be wrong. I make it home and she is nowhere to be found but right there on my bar...A DALMORE KING ALEXANDER BOX that was not there when i left!
SHE IS AMAZING!
Generally Uk internet is all high speed fibre optic, if you are in an area with slow internet you're never really that far from an area with better speeds.
Today I had (the original) Four Roses, Jack Daniels, Monkey Shoulder and Bulleit Rye in that order. I thought I only liked bourbon because I didn't like Monkey Shoulder as much as I expected, and as the only one out of all my friends. But then I tried Bulleit Rye and that was so nice all of a sudden. Really weird and learning more & more!
I was enjoying a glass of bulleit bourbon while watching this... I guess we are on the same page
I'll be heading to Scotland next week. Can't wait to haunt a few distilleries for a week.
I know this is late but Cooperstown Distillery made a white whiskey which was basically shine poured into a bourbon barrel til it was full then immediately drained after roughly 1 week. It has an awesome flavor, very sweet and corn rich but faint notes of vanilla and carmel
,.ll. 😊
Daniel Keep an eye on this one: Thomson Manuka Smoke Progress Report Whisky
I think it could be right up with what you enjoy with smoky whisky. Be interesting to hear what the difference of the manuka smoke vs the peat from someone as expert as yourself. (the same brand makes a peat smoke so you can compare with the same company)
This sounds really cool!
I can get Knob Creek Rye quite easily here in Australia and I think I remember you saying Knob Creek is just up the road from where you are. I notice you haven't don't that one yet. Cheers mate.
It's on the list!
Devils Rye is something I have never seen - great!
For all its many flaws, I just realized the state store system where I live just put FIVE (ahem) expressions (ahem) of Compass Box on Clearance for what appears to be ridiculous prices: Peat Monster and Spice Tree for $38, Asyla for $29, Orangerie and Oak Cross for $30. Previously I had never been much of a Scotch drinker, but after some experimentation (partially based on your recommendations) I think I am ready to give these a try. Unfortunately, not all of them are available in my city, but I think one or two bottles couple be a wise investment. If you were to get JUST ONE of these five listed, which would it be?
Can we all send you cash and have you pick those up for the rest of us?
My state has stupid rules on liquor prices, so I too would like to partake of this deal!
Holy crap. But them. If I could get one I would get Spice Tree.
I made a Collector-Wise but Fiscally-Questionable decision and bought one of each of the three that are available in my area: Oak Cross, Orangerie, and Peat Monster. Unfortunately the Spice Tree and Asyla aren't around anywhere near me, just elsewhere in the state (Pennsylvania, if anyone else wants to look for them: finewineandgoodspirits.com). The clerk who got them from the back for me seemed completely taken by surprise at the prices, but also said the Clearance status probably means once they're gone, they won't be getting them back. But I GOT MINE
Hmmm road trip to PA? ;)
And you aren't kidding... tried to buy a 6-pack of beer in PA once

You can expect 4G internet connection anywhere in the western Europe. Anywhere.
US cable and mobile internet are just terrible compared to EU systems.
Smaller systems upgrade faster.
When you talk about different notes in whiskey or bourbon, for example chocolate, does it mean chocolate was used in some part of the process? Or is it more of a combination of ingredients that give the illusion of it being there. Also, just how crazy do distilleries get in the ingredients they use?
Most distilleries stay simple with ingredients. Legally you can't add random herbals or other contents into the whisky distillation process. Although companies like Prichard's did have cocoa beans in the aging process for one of their Bourbons.
When we refer to "notes of this" it's a combination of the chemicals in a whisky resulting in something that reminds your brain of another flavor. It's the actual presence of that flavor in the whisky

Try the french Brenne whiskey. The top half may taste like candy corn and old apples; after out-gassing the second half ought to have cocoa. Decanting might accelerate the transition.
Been on vacation for a week so I'm just now catching up on the episodes I missed. First thing, I really need to start my volunteer gig as official assistant and ice fetcher in the vault. I'll be in on Monday ready to go! ;) And if you go to Scotland, can some us meet you there? I've been wanting to visit that place in Edinburgh that has the world's largest collection of scotch. It's over 3,000 bottles or something crazy like that!
This would be really cool.
I love the Bulleit Rye
Wait if your going to Scotland why don't you do a video with Rafly and mooch off all his whiskey and level up your mooching skills.
Your comment is well worthy of a reply lol love Ralf
Again with the “Technically Bourbon” hahaha!
Please _PLEASE_ do this!
Daniel, are there any life changing whiskeys that you've had in the past and if so can you do an episode on one of them?
Yes. Longmorn 16. I'll tell the story someday
This is my new favorite rye whiskey.
I came across a channel called townsends, it seems to be 18th century American lifestyle. There was a few videos on the earliest American brewing and distillation which were really interesting. Might be of interest to you?
sounds cool!
Terry Dolan leaves Vid to check out Townsends(sp) channel
laplantski I'm literally binge watching them right now with a Glencairn full of highland park 12. It's bloody good old boy!
Stephen Hill That would be an awesome collaboration 👍
Cleveland Whiskey is actually doing the pour-into-a-barrell-and-then-pour-back-out trick discussed here at the 9min mark.
Just the color of the whiskey in the glass looks like Irish whiskey. Has a similar color to bushmills or tulamore dew
How would the whiskey turn out. If it was aged in a barrel. That carried sauerkraut?
Sorry to hear about the kidney stones man. I had one a number of years ago. Painful as all hell. I wouldn't wish it on a worst enemy, much less a friend.
"D'eh-rosh" is how you pronounce Desroches. Likely French. You guys are awesome. You really play off one another well . I'm just getting into single malt. You guys make this a fun journey. I am a big fan of Highland Park 12. I would like to try something smokier. Should I pick up a bottle of Laphroaig 10? Or is that just too much of a leap?
That's exactly what Desroches said! :-)
Try the Laphroaig. See what happens
I'm surprised you didn't mention that it's impossible for a "bourbon" to be made outside of the USA. One of the many requirements of what makes a bourbon is that it must be distilled in the USA, so it wouldn't be possible to make a bourbon in Scotland. Right? or am I wrong on remembering the requirements of bourbon ?
You're right, but I was going with the spirit of the question. My interpretation was that they were wondering if someone was making something that met all the qualifications of bourbon without being made in the US.
OK. You know more more than I will forget but for me that is the great thing about bourbon is those requirements that make it so unique in the whiskey world. God Bless Bourbons.
I would expect expect a whiskey sommelier to give us the truth as to what constitutes a bourbon and not pussy out on the spirit of the question
Don't think anyone will ever accuse you of that and I hope you don't think I was implying that.
Never :-) All good here.
Heya, so I have quite an amateur pallet, and I was wondering if you could give me any recommendations? I quite like laphroaig so I am looking for something like that.
thank you so much!!!
If you have an amateur palate and love Laphroaig, you're already ahead in the game, my friend. Maybe try Oban 14, Highland Park 12, Dalmore, or Auchetoshan!
Wow thank you that was such a quick reply! and I will definitely try those as soon as I can!
Please do some episodes from Scotch land, even if you have to upload when you get home 🥃
Scottish videos would be awesome! If you're going to a seaside windy distillery, just be sure to bring lavaliere mics or a microphone wind-cover! You know, the gray furry ones - just like Rex's Hat of generosity... or just bring the hat! FOR SCIENCE!
Jeez Daniel kidney stones are the worst. My dad had six, so I'm almost certain I'll have them too. I feel for you man, you're in for a bad time my friend.
If you don't drink a lot of water, it can just happen too - so drink that water after your whisky! Or else you'll get kidney stones the size of whisky stones. Ooo, cool and refreshing.
If I add a couple drops of water to this I always get a strong dill flavor which really turns me off. I like it neat though
me too!
Hey you guys were early today. You caught me at dinner, now I am sitting here watching a whisky show, whilst drinking a Barolo. It feels strange and unnatural.
If no good internet options in Scotland, then I expect episodic vlogs by distillery and region, and the shenanigans that ensue.
Never had Kidney stones... Something to look forward to.
Modify away, I Wonna hear it.
Make sure that you only drink whiskies that you like adding a lot of water to. That way you get more water in to help with the kidney stones! :D
too true
Quick question Daniel.
How many different whiskeys are in Johnny Walker Red Label.
Not sure on that one!
Could the method and madness single grain from Midleton be considered an Irish bourbon?
I would say that's about as close as I've seen. Only they use Spanish oak instead of American Oak.
What do you guys say about filling up the Bottles with Glasmarbles to keep the Whisky from Oxydating
And just an Idea. Why don't you guys Buy a little freezer, like a real Small one for the Vault, with place for a bit ice and the Whiskystones and Stuff?
We actually have a wee little ice machine. But it's downstairs :-)
Yeah but if you had a little freezer in there you could make them once and than you would not have to Walk downstairs for like half a year XD
i always have just straight spearmint in the Bulleit Rye....its insane i almost get nothing else....just spearming chewing gum on the nose, which is close to your eucalyptus i guess
hello, Guys found you last week via modern rogues been binge watching you since. I'm Scottish ( Glasgow) but i am a bourbon drinker ( wife is from Kentucky ) if you were to give me 2 must try bourbon what would they be for some one who sticks mostly to buffalo trace and some times JD it was my gateway.
also if you are ever in Scotland would love a meetup or tasting of some kind id suggest the good spirit company in Glasgow as a stop off.
the internet here is spotty out in the country if you are in a major city you should be fine for uploading
Welcome, and glad to have you! With bourbons, there are a lot of really cool options, but it's hard to know what you can get your hands on. Maybe pick a few you've seen and we can give you recommendations and references.
Whiskey Vault I can pick up most jack and Jim ( not a fan) as well as the likes of bullit , buffalo trace, makers , wild turkey , knob at the supermarket but I also
Can find a lot more online via master of malt
Yeah I echo the thoughts of Paul R on the broadband. It is getting better in rural areas but its not quite there yet. Should still be able to upload videos though, after all Bruichladdich etc upload their live streams no problem on Islay. If you are in any major town or city, you'll be fine too.
Bring an umbrella though, you will need it even at the height of summer! ;)
Of the ones you listed, I'd recommend Maker's Mark, or Maker's 46, whichever you have access to. And keep an eye out for Larceny, it's my go to bourbon.
I love the "Technically Bourbon" idea! Except that would call for a ton of new oak buckets.
Yeah, that's true. Unless it was one huge "bucket"
Or it could be a barrel with in intake pipe and an outtake pipe with the flow calibrated to take exactly 90 seconds to pass through to the bottling stage.
Just use a charred-oak bucket as the collection vessel on the still. Instant bourbon machine.
First of all good luck with the "whisk(e)y man's" stones....on a more channel related comment. Why is it that there seems to be lack of Irish whiskey tastings? If you have it I highly recommend Red Breast 16. I saw that you had the 12 in the modern rouge episode. On any account I will continue to ignore my children for 13 minutes each night to enjoy a whiskey with Daniel and Rex. Cheers.
RedBreast is awesome. We'll add it to the upcoming list. Welcome to the channel :-)
I've been a daily viewer since episode 83... and binged the previous with a bottle of green spot that very weekend.
omg you should do the technically bourbon thing or maybe fine print bourbon cause according to fine print its bourbon also will your distillery be able to sell whisk(e)y like will it be a profit or non profit entity
It's a for profit entity!
Whiskey Vault sweet so we'll be able to try your experiments
Binge watching a bunch of Vault and Tribe and every time Rex compares to bullet, "getting a little bit more cinnamon than I remember."
What's the red star on the som necklace mean?
It's the level 3 marker. Level one is the medallion. level two adds the necklace. Level three the star.
what's level 4? a tiara? Puddin'
A tiara with streamers
DAMN Rex you look young as hell lol.
Why malted barley? Why not malted corn or rye?
You can malt all grains, but the answer to this comes down to an incredibly complex chemistry lesson. But very often corn and rye are malted as well.
Ahhhhh, ok, I was wrong 30 episodes ago, here's the first Patron Saint of Whiskey. Charlie Haug (Or however you spell it) ... that makes sense
Translation of the toast? Didn’t understand what was said
Boys, up your butt sideways. Sláinte.
What do you guys think of Basil Hayden's rye? I've been drinking Michter's, Bulleit and Dickel rye for a few years now and just discovered Hayden's rye and it's my new favorite (well aside from the Michter's barrel strength rye). I have to admit I'm quite a rye fan and have tried a lot of them. Love the spicy notes. However, you guys have recently turned me onto the world of scotch, so thanks for that!
I just got a bottle of the Basil Hayden rye. I thought it was good, but pretty simple.
"I'm about to give birth."
In my head: Oh jeez, he's gonna shit his pants.
If Daniel would only tame that gnarly beard......
Pabst blue ribbon has a 5 second aged whiskey
Yo Whaddup!!
Professional mirror photography is a job I can see myself doing
Mix with cherry Dr pepper.. u good
Bullet 95 Rye and a Nepali Pink joint
And thus the toast was born.
Rex did you really pull out your cell while Daniel was telling his story? Lol.
Yes. Yes he did.
Whiskey Vault Sorry.
you teach people about whiskey for a living i don't think you will have a problem convincing your wife it's for "research" . but when you are there you need to go to avebury it's like stonehenge but better .
done
Thir-st works better than fifth-rst....
thatth thuper inthightful.
Your wife can go and give you a female perspective which would be very valuable. As long as you have the receipts for her drinks and she has some whiskey you could still classify it as a business trip and write it off on your taxes. (my father is a tax guy)
Very true.
Prohibition 1920 to Dec 1933 just shy of 100 years ago
Daniel has a smaller glass lol
must be Made IN the U.S. is also part of the law .
Yes. If it's going to be labeled "bourbon". But I think what these guys were discussing is if anyone was making anything that met every qualification of bourbon except country of origin.
Where is the colour in the thumbnail? #sad
#sosad
Pikesville Rye?
it's tasty
Whiskey Vault head to head Pikesville vs Russel 6 year
Good luck with the kidney stones. Have some Bruichladdich on hand for when things start to get painful!
me too
Bummer... I should have watched this prior to donating... now to another choice...
Technically bourbon..... "I'd buy that for a dollar"
tall glass of lemonade (tropicana or minute maid in my opinion) every day will hopefully keep you from kidney stones
And for today's youtube to youtube link: th-cam.com/video/Boj33DVSILQ/w-d-xo.html
Highland Park explaining how to nose and taste whiskey. Think Richard Paterson, wish less charisma, but WAY more information. He actually explains what to look for in the different stages, and is very unpretentious in the explanation.
Dude Stones ? Worst pain of my life, Sending good Karma Bud ,
TMI! Kidney stones suck!
agreed
It's a Rex takeover!
Hine
Too bad pabst beat you to it with their aged 5 seconds whiskey
Rex is the captain now!

hahahahahahahahaha
;)
Is the video kinda "washed out" or is it just me ?
10-15% overexposed. lots of windows. so the settings change from time of day / weather / etc.
Nice knowing that i noticed that 10% right away :D
Prohibition "a couple hundred years ago?" Freakin' public schools. :(
may yer stones be small and yer glasses be full, and if yer stones be large then may you drink from the bottle.
best wishes.
nice
First~
Aaron Burdette DAM!!
DAMNIT! I've been sitting here hitting refresh for an hour, then i started listening to the bourbon Daily blog and forgot to check back!
Missed a trick by not spelling it 'Thirst'.
Isn't Thirst the person that comes after Second?
