As a fellow service industry member, thank you. You probably saved that young girls mental health that day. All it takes is one person understand what you are going through to make the difference.
Great stories as usual! It reminded me of the Masters, 1999, in Augusta, Ga. Someone had rented out the old comedy club to set up a temporary club for the week. Joydrop was playing on the opening night. I was working some random position in the club for some extra cash. Turned out, the planners never got liquor license, so no booze. They ended up not opening the doors that night. Joydrop had already been paid, so the staff of about 10 got a full concert from the band. We all got signed CDs, and got to hang out with them for a while. They put on a great show that night.
You opened for Aerosmith?! Wow! 😮 Side note: the first album I memorized all the lyrics to as their Get A Grip album. 😆 (Also, the Aerosmith and Kiss double billed show was one of my first concerts.) Also, the screen name "Aeroscorpian" was inspired by them (making up the name Aerosmith), and combining Aerosmith with Scorpion (and Scorpio, my previous screen name).
It's amazing how both little and big the step is between thought and action. It takes something special to get moving. Thanks for having that and that you keep inspiring others to develop the same!
Wow. Great story Daniel! 🙏 There are parallels to a fantastic book I've read, by Stefan Einhorn. "The art of being kind". Stefan Einhorn believes it is the single most important factor in achieving success and satisfaction in life-being a good person can make you happier, richer, more successful, and fulfilled. Cheers 🥃🥃
also, per Drinkhacker, this Dickel is basically a subset of 'more bourbony-tasting' Dickel barrels. There's no difference in mashbill or process between this and their Tennessee whiskey offerings.
7:45 That is literally what they did, they just tweaked their barrel blend to change the profile slightly and make it more "classic bourbon"y flavored. They wanted to screw with people and said "See...we can call it Bourbon if we want" I got less Flintstones and more of the peanut brittle when I had it vs their standard offerings.
Dickel bourbon is exactly the same stuff as Dickel Tennessee whisky, goes through the exact same Lincoln County process, and ages in the exact same barrel houses. But as you know, no two barrels are exactly the same, and some of the barrels don't fit the Dickel Tennessee whisky profile. Those are the barrels that become Dickel bourbon. In other words, the *ONLY* difference between Dickel bourbon and Dickel Tennessee whisky is the profile of the particular barrels. That - along with the fact that Benjamin Prichard Tennessee whisky does *NOT* use the Lincoln County process - definitively proves that Tennessee whisky is a variety of bourbon.
As someone who's performed in a band at four different clubs in Deep Ellum in the 90s, I can definitely feel you on your experience. And for me personally, at least, I tried that Dickel "bourbon" at a Total Wine several months ago, and I have to say it was the WORST whiskey I've ever tasted. Just bitter and tinny and yeah, no thank you.
So Daniel I have to ask you have mentioned before that you lived in fort Wayne Indiana for a while did you have any connection to Pierre's nightclub concert venue? Because the entire time I've been watching the whiskey vault and the whiskey tribe I swear I've met you but after this latest video I'm pretty damn sure that I have but if you never worked at Pierre's you must have a doppelganger
So is the charcoal filtering done right before bottling or right after distillation before putting into oak barrels? I was under the impression that JD is slowly dripped through sugar maple charcoal before barreling. So is Dickel done differently or similarly?
JD filters the fresh distillate through a 13 foot tall 6 food wide vat of tightly packed Sugar Maple charcoal prior to barreling. It takes 2 full days for it to filter through. Dickle pours theirs through individual 3 foot tall 2 foot wide barrels filled with large lump Sugar Maple charcoal prior to barreling. It takes 20 minutes to filter through. They both use the same "process" but the execution is vastly different.
It's not Tennessee Whiskey because they decided to label it as Bourbon. Just like Jack Daniels is Tennessee Whiskey because that's how they decided to label it.
"Bourbon wars"... being myself, just needed to stretch this muscle, bust some balls, and add something to that... Before watching it in full, I was enlightened about some shitstorm... I was about to write: "bourbon", "Tennessee whisky", "bourbon whisky", "American whisky"... why such a fuss over some meaningless details, if it's all just a barrel cleansers? 😋 And asking if there in US was there some ecological cataclysm, which justifies that before using these barrels to mature actual whisky, then need to disinfect it for 2 or some years before shipping them to Scotland to mature real whisky? 😋 But most interesting thing- why, instead of pouring it down the drain, they sell this used up cleanser in bottles? And why people drink that poison?!?! 😋 But at the end... scratch that out. Great episode 👍Great story 👍 Very motivational - thanks Mr.D, I'll try to use it - and I need it now 👍👍👍
Most people are watchers and waiters... few are do-ers... it is easy to tell the difference... observe all the people that take videos vs calling police or intervening in situations.
I get so enthralled with Daniel's story telling that I completely forget this is a whiskey review channel.
And I totally dig Daniel's origin story

That's a really cool origin of the origin story!! Cheers Daniel!!!
Daniel's band stories were so rare on WT videos. Glad to see him get comfortable enough to open up for a Whiskey Vault video.
Damn! Hell of a story! Rock on Daniel!
As someone who grew up on TN/KY line, I’m telling you the answer is “yes”
That last story was almost full circle. Been watching since long before there were two channels. Thanks for the awesome videos.
That's pretty crazy how you got your start basicly. And can't wait for tomorrow's story
That last story was the absolute best! I remember the story you told about Rex calling you, so this context was incredibly fun to hear! ❤
always give 100%. except when you're at the blood bank
😂
Jars of Clay at Deep Ellum! Awesome.
Dude you throw in some scriptures, you’ll have a nice sermon. Great job!
Love the stories, the origin story was awesome.
Thanks for this. Today of all days, this is what I needed to hear. Keep 'em coming.
"Gentle, soft smooth Dickel"...where is Rex when we need him to grin and raise an eyebrow?! 😂
The world needs more Daniels in it.
You opened for Aerosmith?! Wow! 😮
Side note: the first album I memorized all the lyrics to as their Get A Grip album. 😆 (Also, the Aerosmith and Kiss double billed show was one of my first concerts.)
Also, the screen name "Aeroscorpian" was inspired by them (making up the name Aerosmith), and combining Aerosmith with Scorpion (and Scorpio, my previous screen name).
Awesome stories! Loved this video!
I had to pause and pour some Dickle Rye to join along.
It's amazing how both little and big the step is between thought and action. It takes something special to get moving. Thanks for having that and that you keep inspiring others to develop the same!
Great stories and episode all together! Also, you missed a great video title opportunity by adding "8yr Bourbon" to it
Daniel. Wow. I raise my Glencairne to you! Awesome stories, as always. You are something else! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the video 🥃
Wow, that's a good one. It goes to show how you are doing when I keep saying, Damn that's great.
Thanks again for another great conversation 🥃
I am digging the new vault episodes!
What a cool story. Thanks for sharing, Daniel.
Dammit, that's awesome. Great advice!
Love from SLO and always dig the references. I definitely did not have Mr. Rick's on my bingo card when I clicked on this video haha
Loved these stories today!
🤔 In my head, seems in the last situation you have Brs-inlaw, the groom being once removed like a second cousin. 👍
Respect-Love-Support
I love this style of content!!!!
Good one… Happy you stepped up in that wedding 💒😊
There is something to be said about a quiet leader. And a little bit of confidence goes a long way too.
love these stories
Good on you Daniel.
love this new format!

It's not Tennessee Whiskey because the label says its bourbon.
Remember, under federal law, they have to tell you what's in the bottle.
So Daniel I have to ask you have mentioned before that you lived in fort Wayne Indiana for a while did you have any connection to Pierre's nightclub concert venue? Because the entire time I've been watching the whiskey vault and the whiskey tribe I swear I've met you but after this latest video I'm pretty damn sure that I have but if you never worked at Pierre's you must have a doppelganger
You magnificent Legend
God damn it Daniel.... I don't want to like this channel, but why do you gotta be so cool....
I always give 100%… unless I’m out of coffee, in which case you’re lucky if you get 32%.
7:48 that's what she said.
And then there is Kentucky Bourbon that does charcoal filtering they can't call LCP because it's not done in TN :P
Welcome all Whiskey Vaulters to Story Time with Daniel!
🙌🏻😁
So that's the story, nice. But who the hell is Bo Bozard?!
Weeeeeell technically Tennessee Whisky has no prohibitions on coloring or additives last I checked so not to imply they do but the could

They both use the same "process" but the execution is vastly different.
@@Sman7290 Thank you for your answer!
If Dickel really wanted to tweak the internet, they would label it "Tennessee Whiskey Bourbon"😁
I say brother outlaw
Respect. What was the name of the band you were in if I may ask?
I've been in a few dozen bands, but the Dallas story was called "Everyone" and the Aerosmith story band was "Rhodes"
yes ugghhhhh square rectangle. let tennessee be
theyre process doesnt cohere to the law to not start fights. i like all tennessee whiskey.
It's not Tennessee Whiskey because they decided to label it as Bourbon.
Just like Jack Daniels is Tennessee Whiskey because that's how they decided to label it.

Yeah, it’s not Bourbon.😎🤣
Some people are just meant to be chiefs, and some people are meant to be Indians
State's rights. Kentuckians disagree. I have an issue with that whiskey. It's good. I just can't get past that vitamin taste.
