** 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's 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?

whoever finishes the bottle has the privilege of polishing the knob
After coming home from a long day at work, I have developed a habit of drinking a whiskey (or two, or three) while watching whiskey vault videos, and I love it.
Hell yes. Welcome, sir.
Same here.
What's considered "drinking a whiskey or two(or three)" Is it like a glass full or a shot worth? lol sorry If it's a dumb question.
And there's nothing wrong with it 👍
@@peautifulbenis3673 most likely between 1-2oz
I also saw a meme of Adam Sandler that said "mama says alcohol is the enemy. Jesus said love your enemy, case closed."
I'm a Canadian born (born in Halifax actually) that lives in Texas. I consider myself Canadian and Texan, considering I've lived here for over 15 years. I love that whiskey, I love that song, and this episode really reminded me of home. Thanks guys.
Glad to have you!
Knob creek really is my favorite bourbon and overall spirit. I was sipping on it watching the super bowl and just got notes of apple pie and sweet spices. The granny smith and red apple cross mooch mentioned. Something about football and apple pie tasting bourbon just blended so well together
Do you mix whiskey......do you Jack your Knob?
What about a three-way? Jack Johnny Walker's Red Knob.
LMAO
Here's to our wives
Here's to our girlfriends
May they never meet
The first thing I do when I get home is grab my Knob
I showed up for a nice video talking about one of my favorite whiskeys. Instead i get knob puddin...God i love this channel
It is the way of our people.
If you've got a creek in your knob you should probably oil it.
Fiontán Ó Cathail or go to the doctor
@@jackvacuum619 for circumcision
Barrett's Privateers was played on an episode of the show "due south" in the late '90s. Awesome! I'm proud to be Canadian, and now I will pour me a whisky! Cheers boys!
Big thank you!!!! I enjoy whisky by listening and seeing you guys!
3 years late, I finally found this. Knob Creek was my intro to bourbon whiskey. A nice counter point to my favorite Laphroaing 10.
Roger Moretz yeah I’ve started collecting bourbon earlier this year and somehow slept on knob creek until this weekend i got a 1.75 L for 39.99 and i may like it more than McKenna and find it similar to it
I think Knob Creek is excellent bourbon. I have a bottle of single barrel 120 proof in my cabinet. Good stuff!
Guys. I just bought a Knob Creek barrel that was redone entirely and fitted with shelves. It even has a stand to hold the barrel that says Knob Creek. The gold plaque on the middle of the barrel says: “It is hereby certified that this barrel was hand-selected for the state of Pennsylvania.” Couldn’t thank the guy enough who chose to sell; it was apparently a display piece for the brand... perhaps for something such as a promotional item.
Whatever the case the charcoal burns on the inside still hold the smell of bourbon slightly. Honestly it’s incredible. Gunna go get some knob creek to fit the shelves with and celebrate. Happy birthday me, and thank you again to the dude who sold it. It has a good home.
Barret's Privateers is one of my favorite songs, and it is my most favorite Stan Rogers song as well! I too know every single letter of that beautiful tune. Glad I'm not alone
Barrett's privateers reference made me subscribe 😂 I love that song!
Knob, Booker's, Baker's and Basil Hayden
Thank you
Hmmm. That last one may need to be tried.
Basil sucks in my book.
@@Dsimms13 I really enjoy BH.
I like Basil
Would have been nice if you actually reviewed Knob Creek.
they always make hour long videos but don’t get to the damn point. They’re real fun guys, but c‘mon give us atleast some info.
It’s amazing how neither of you actually paid attention to the video.
I wouldn't worry about it. They've also not done a video regarding the Canadian whisky they pulled off the shelf either. It's not so much about reviewing the whiskey as it is about hanging out and drinking whisk(e)y. Just enjoy the ride and don't worry about the destination.
I agree! This is a great bourbon that deserves a review without whatever else they are going on about. Or just don’t call this a knob creek review.
I loved your video on how to order whiskey. Knob Creek has been my go to bourbon for years, I always come back to it.
Rex: “I’m gonna keep it classy”
Rex five seconds later: “KNOB KNOB KNOB KNOB KNOB”
I want you guys to have this much fun again! Also need more of Daniel singing!! (I'm rewatching some of my favorites)
I'm thankful for this series, because I love whiskey, but I'm such a n00b that I don't know jack shit about what's good or isn't. I'm also not too adventurous when it comes to spending money on whiskey I'm clueless to, so this series is a god send. it's also great since I'm not too far from them, so the prices they pay are quite close to what I'll have to pay.
Do you still consider yourself a noob, or gave you graduated?
I love rewatching these old reviews when i grab a bottle being reviewed. I to enjoy the knob.
Love this.
"My knob smells funny!"
Me at the bar.
New watcher. Great show! Thank you for your humor and wisdom. I have been on my whiskey journey for a few years now and of what I have tried that you have talked about I agree 100%. Keep it up!
Another great humour filled video guys, slowly working through your back catalogue, hope to catch up in a few weeks time.
That moment when I wasn't sure if we were going to sit through all 8 versus . . . .
I was just trying to make you panic
This Knob Creek 9 is really great quality Bourbon, I was impressed. A good sweetness to it, even on your first sip. It is a nice full bodied flavor profile and is pretty complex. Very alcohol forward on the nose, but I do catch some of the cherry and vanilla notes with kind of a jam like sweetness. The taste is very sweet right upfront, if you like sweet bourbons you will love this. It has a sugary quality which I love, cherry-vanilla with rich honey, and strawberry jam. It also has a good dose of oak flavor, but definitely not a dominant characteristic. I think this would be a good Bourbon to introduce someone who is interested in trying new whiskey's. This has a refinement to it that will make you feel fancy, like an old-school aristocrat listening to some classical music in your library! The age statement is pretty cool as well. I must say I am surprised by this purchase. This is a great Bourbon to sip on neat and hangout with some good company, or listen to some good music just by yourself.
A fine job singing Stan Rogers ... Oh Canada, not so much . Love this show!
Yep. Definitely changing my name.
its karma for a lifetime of dad-jokes
I should get some credit for the 22 years before a became a dad.
yah, but you've been a dad for... 38-39 years? Clearly, the cosmic balance has been tipped in a salty direction.
That song is my anthem. God damn how did I miss this episode. Nova Scotia says hello and thank you for your quick tribute to us Daniel.
The amount I've learned over the past 6 months is kind amazing. I just finished my first post-whiskey enlightenment distillery tour, and got to have some of the coolest, most in-depth conversations about whiskey.
YES! Love this.
This is my favorite go to Bourbon! $26 and on the shelf! Classic flavors and a little wood, you know your drinking a mature whiskey! Cheer's
As a maritimer (who lives in Nova Scotia), go Daniel! Even when having one too many drinks at a local irish bar, I can at most remember only 3 verses of Barrett's Privateers lol.
I'm from Canada.. and I can confidently say that our prime minister LOVES knob. He loves knob so much that he has a hard time getting anything done... thats how much he loves the knob.
Love the Stan Rogers diversion & "music pairing" with Barrett's Privateers! Great tune!
Thanks guys!!! I feel special now! Not like short bus special either! And I agree Barrett's Privateers is a superior tune! Daniel, your voice is very similar to Rogers'... a lot of the same timbre.
I just picked up a bottle of this after watching the video and enjoyed it much more than I had previously, now that I have developed more of a taste for whiskey. Do you have any other suggestions that have strong barrel notes like the Knob Creek 100 proof? I apologize if this sounds like a rookie question. I am looking to expand my collection which contains Jefferson Reserve, Knob Creek 100, Pendleton, and Texas Silver Star Texas Honey.
Mooch story time!: I was at a secret Santa party at work(I worked at a restaurant at the time) and the bartender got one of the hosts as his secret Santa. The bartender bought the guy a three bottle pack of Knob Creek! The guy was good friends with me and said "I don't really drink that often but I don't wanna be rude, so I'll keep a bottle do you want the other two?" My answer was obviously HELL YES.
TL;DR The best Knob is free Knob
Awesome
Jealous! that's a score.
Y'all got me hooked on the Knob.
Knob Pudding as a band name has to be one of the funniest things I have heard this year!
Knob Creek: Smoked Maple 90proof.
So smooth!
Just tried some Knob Creek for the first time tonight and I'm loving it! And by the way, this knob jokes were hilarious, I'm crackin up!
Waiting ,, Waiting, yep 43 seconds before Rex went off the rails " Knob " My Hero Rex My Hero !!!
Here I am November 28th 2017 on my journey to view all these videos. I just had my first Ardbeg Ten (among other bottles I feel I need to try). It is absolutely true. I will from here on out compare all others to this moment in my life.
Have you caught up?
Did my first taste of kn.....this one. Really nice bourbon, glad to have tasted with y’all
Have you guys ever had Walking Stick? Its a Buffalo Trace single barrel.
I put my good friend on to this channel and we decided to spend some money and buy a few bottles each. I got the Monkey Shoulder and Highland Park 12, he got the Laphroaig 10 as well as a Tomatin (Legacy?), (Naked?) Grouse, and Big Peat. We also picked up some proper glasses and had a good night trying most of them. I've asked in past videos what such-and-such should taste like and there's no better teacher than experience. I found that I'm not much of a peat lover, the Laphroaig was OK but I couldn't even bring myself to swallow Big Peat (that's what she said).
The MS and HP12 are great, now I just need a 2nd job to support my new hobby. We all weren't born to be mooches.
This kind of gathering is one of my favorite things. Love that we had any hand at all in inspiring it. Enjoy the journey.
So for the last month or so I've set this channel as the background music(kind of like a podcast) to any work that I've been doing. When Daniel started singing I joined in and bellowed at the top of my lungs the rest of the song. That is a damn good song.
When I first started drinking whiskey, I tried a bottle of Knob Creek and it almost ruined Bourbon for me entirely. Odder is how many people I’ve told that and they have had similar reactions to it... I’m curious how my pallet has changed in the past few years after this episode and wonder how I’d react to it now...
Love your videos I have just started getting in to whisky
jack richards, thanks for watching! We're glad you're here. 👍
Knob pudding. One of my favorites!!
Thanks for always PUDDIN up with my dad jokes
I need to try this..
Last time i was going to buy it i ended up buying Makers Mark instead..
How do you compare it to Makers Mark?
recently got into bourbon, after being a beer drinker mostly, been enjoying buffalo trace and makers mark mostly, however usually with coke or gingerale. Strangely I have only had Knob creek whiskey in the form of a Knob creek whiskey barbecue sauce on wings. Would it be a good simply beginner bourbon, so far others im considering trying next are jim beam, wild turkey 101, eagle rare and four roses, from your videos forget if there all bourbons tho. Friend also let me try Glennfiddich 15 as an intro to scotch, and i downed it very easily. Any recommendations?
This is what made me begin enjoying whiskey
Just discovered your channel a few days ago and this video is where I decided that I love you magnificent whisky slinging bastards. Cheers.
Which video does Rex say the Burbon smells like peanut butter? I got a bottle of Lazy River and I was sitting there amazed how distinctly I got the peanut butter in it but I felt like I was crazy.
Been marathoning episodes for a couple weeks and finally really lost it at Knob Puddin'. Best episode.
It only took 156 episodes to get you to laugh out loud.
Hah! I haven't gone in order and I've certainly laughed a ton along the way! This, however, was an ugly caught-off-guard laugh resulting in some fine whisky up my nose.
Recently picked up the Ardbeg Kelpie, and love how much smokier it is than my usual Lagavulin 16. Maybe I'll pick up the Octomore next. Thoughts?
If you're going Octomore, you're in for a serious adventure. Go slowly. here there be dragons
Got a question for you guys. As someone new to Whiskeys. Whats a good amount of "sip"? I feel like sometimes I end up gulping the Whiskey, and sometimes get too little of it. Any suggestions?
For me, it's the same amount that i sip when my coffee is still really hot. Just enough to move around the mouth and taste it.
Awesome thanks!
Have you guys done the Knob Creek smoked maple??? It’s incredible
Today is August the 9th, 2022 and I just got home from the store with a new bottle of Knob Creek 9 year small batch. She cost me $42 bucks. But is is worth it!!
Guys you gotta try Octomore 7.1, the PPI levels have made me want to try it as I'm one of the few % you guys mention that fell in love with Laphroig for my first. Fab channel guys
I love the song....you guys are too much but in a good way. I’m new to drinking whiskey/whisky and love love love watching you guys. Some videos I watch over and each time I enjoy and more info sticks.
How does this compare to Knob Creeks single barrel reserve?
6:50 - I am on the floor, about to die laughing too!
Knob Creek in the same video as Glen Breton 10 - wow!!!
I’ve toured Jim Beam distillery twice, it’s pretty cool
To Daniel totally agree about knob creek and Bruichladdiich classic laddie ! My favorites! Besides laproaig 10
As a first bourbon.. should I get knob creek or Elijah Craig
Video requests of Daniel teaching us to pick apart meet to the bone with a fork and knife! I'd watch that
Think ima binge watch all the videos in the Whisk(e)y Vault while sipping some Glenfarclas 12!
Joe burg, nice! Love the Glenfarclas.
What are your thoughts on the wider mouth glasses vs the Glencairn glasses?
I actually like them for bourbon. It lets the higher "punch" of bourbon get a bit easier on the nose.
Did I ever tell you I had a dream a while back that we were in a band called Whiskey Breath? Lol. We were an acoustic duo but can't remember much else. I do like that band name tho. Kinda like Motorhead.
We probably played bluegrass covers of Motorhead
Whiskey Vault Probably. That would actually be pretty cool. If I visit the Vault maybe we can jam and make it happen.
Knob Creek is great!!!
Quality rendition there sir. Spontaneous Stan Rogers sing-alongs have occured in many a Nova Scotian kitchen. 45 years is prob my fave. Stan song, sappy as it is, it showscases his range well, imo.
I went to high school in Inverness, NS, Can. which is under 10k from the Glenora distillery, but unfortunately have never actually toured it. I moved from Nova Scotia over a decade ago now, but next time Im home, Ill tey and get one in.
I'm also getting a "li hing mui" scent. I'm from Hawaii, so you'd probably have to Google it 🤙! Love love your channels!
Loved the video way to keep it classy guys! So how long is the wait list till ya get around to some more tasty Dalmore Whisky???
It's soon!
Hey men, you guys should make a list with the best products that can be found worldwide, at different price points. I'm from Brazil and I really want to start my whisky drinking game with good stuff.
Thanks a lot
Cheers
How did you miss level 3 knob connoisseur?
I would like to see you do a critique of Pappy Van Winkle bourbon
Jim W
Can't get enough Knob!
Please tell me what the other glass is beside the Glen Carin in this video?
It's the Libbey Kentucky Bourbon glass that got recalled.
Hey Daniel, a Canadian band called Real Mckenzies does an absolutely kick ass job covering Barretts Privateers. If you haven't heard it I highly recommend it.
Does all that sun shining in threw the window not mess with your bottles?
Speaking of apple...I had Glenlivet 12 for the first time and immediately picked up an almost overwhelming sour apple (similar to a sour apple jolly rancher) on the nose and initial taste.
Now I'm going to have to go looking for that one.
Getting closer to the 10K subs!!! Will Rex evolve into a higher form when that happens?
389k now
I don't know how I haven't seen this episode, but..... Very funny and well done! There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with the knob! 😳😂
Any data on A. Smith Bowman distillery in Fredericksburg, VA???
what do you prefer, Dalmore 12, or Highland Park 12?
highland park
Hey Daniel, my palate is very much like yours and I actually started out with a Lagavulin 16 I blindly bought out of Offerman's "that's not Lagavulin" ad. What would you say is your favorite bourbon?
Sláinte!
Right now, I don't really have one :-)
Can you guys do a review on the knob creek single barrel 120 proof!
BTW Rex, I revisited my Laphroaig Friday night and found it to be more pleasurable than I remembered. Not sure if that is because it's mellowed after sitting for almost 2 years or my taste has evolved, I'll go with evolved taste. But interestingly I was able to pick up on the iodine taste in it that I had missed before. Don't know how I missed it, but I was able to truly appreciate it. I'm still partial to Cardhu 12, but will be drinking the Laphroaig more often.
Well done, sir.
Chris Boggess, nice! Glad you were able to get more out of it. There's a lot going on after you acclimate to its violence.
That's a good way of putting it. It definitely assaults your senses the first time if you aren't used to anything being peated.
6:17 Daniel singing songs like this should be made into a CD called The Crowded Whiskey lullaby. 🤗 Really liked it
These guys enjoy their job.
K-nob C-reek, well done and it's about time! Enjoyed it.
What a coincidence! I just tried this the other day.
Single barrel reserve at a 120 proof 😳 puddin. With Jimi's red house. "There's a red house over yonder......."
