** 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?

Laphroaig 10 is like French kissing Kiera Knightley after you both just ate barbecue.
accurate
Is this a scientific fact?
asking for a friend. lol
It’s like sucking a burnt out fishing boat full of seaweed.
You wish. Instead, it's just walrus whiskers. But, close your eyes and visualize...
Turns out it's good stuff :)
Hitting that Laphroiag 10 right now...Ocean spray upon mossy stones, buttery depth. Dew-dampened clover you can lay in without chiggers. This is the happy place.
The “without chiggers” qualifier conveys a pleasure that can only be appreciated by those who have been with chiggers.
In Doublin, Ireland on June 18th, 1875 a fire broke out in a distillery causing some 5000 barrels of whiskey to burst sending thousands of gallons of whiskey flooding through the streets, on fire and picking up all bits of charred wood and ash along the way. The citizens were so preoccupied by the free whiskey that 100% of the 13 deaths were due to alcohol poisoning. That whiskey, being both literally on fire and having charcoal and ash swept along it probably still tasted less like fire than Laphroaig 10
And we are going to finish with my all time favorite Laphroaig... Ardbeg 10.
😂
@@tyalan2579 Try the triple... then say
Comparing both right now i prefer Laphroaig 10 vs ardbeg 10.
i used to be a bourbon fan.... then i found Laphroaig... ive had lagavulin's and ardbegs and bowmores etc etc etc... but i keep coming back to laphroiag. the ashtray notes are the best. it's the best whisky on the face of the earth
I love the quarter cask, it just has so much going for it and it is amazing value for money.
Robert Segarty so much this, for the price its a steal
48% ABV, non chill-filtered, extra smoke and proportionally more wood contact time...eat your heart out Ardbeg and keep your extra 20 whilst you are at it ;)
@@robertsegarty5225 yep the select as well... only 40% but no colouring no chill filtration and I got one for 23€ in tesco lmao xD Now I regret I didn't get at least 3 of them
@@robertsegarty5225 an NAS for quite a hefty price :D don't forget that one
Finally after years I bought a bottle of le froig. lol.
I’m hooked. I was put off by the price and reputation. Didn’t want to spend that much on something that was a mystery.
Time wasted. I’m an Islay guy. I love it. Not turning back.
SO happy to see you guys doing Laphroaig!! Just got my first bottle of the 10 recently and loved the process of working through the smoke to get to the more nuanced flavors. I also had a mooch experience at a restaurant that was mistakenly shipped the Triple Wood instead of the 10, so they were charging the price for the 10, but pouring the TW!! LOVED IT!!
Lol! Rex I literally said the same thing a few days ago. Every Laphroaig vs Ardbeg argument ends the same way. Lagavulin comes along and says "children go to your corners".
I like all three bottles!
Talisker has my vote.
I for some reason can't stand talisker... that said I bought it and 3 other scotches when I tried scotch whiskey for the first time first time. out of them Lagavulin was the only one I actually liked... a few weeks ago I got ardbeg corryver..., love it (it still slaps me around tho, but I still love the taste). I am thinking about getting a Laphroaig but dont know which one to get.
When I can afford the L 16, we will see. The Triple Wood is the best I have tasted. The Lore is intriguing, but my priority is the Lagavulin. We'll see...
@@Bawrabawla I started with the 10 and I didn't regret it. The other ones add more complexity but I am happy that I started with what I consider the basis of that distilery. Some people will call the 10 simple and I totally get it, but I would call it clean. After 12 years of drinking whiskys still one of my favourites.
Tonight y'all made me drag out the 1/4 vs 10 yr cask strength vs triple wood. Thank you. The triple wood is surprisingly sweet with sherry. I hadn't noticed that before. The lagavullin 16 lead me down this rabbit hole, but thanks to Rex and Daniel I've escaped with more knowledge and palate education than before as well as a buzz. Just like Rex, I'm afraid I've reached my limit for tasting this evening. Thanks again for helping me grow my palate and knowledge of this wonderful beverage. :-)
For peat's sake!
Thats punny
BA DUM TSS
Hi Dan and Rex, thanks for the great tasting video! We do whiskey and tea pairings and the Laphroaig 10 is one of our go-tos, however, our upcoming tasting is in Quebec and it is not yet available there. They do however have both the Select and the Quarter Cask, So I am looking at either of these as a 'substitute' for the 10 year. I have already done my pairing and tasting research with the 10 year and I am hoping the quarter cask will be an easy swap in :) What we do is select teas from our inventory and we have folks sip a given tea, then sip the paired whiskey, then return to the tea. The transformation is exquisite! Based on the tasting notes in your video, it sounds like either the Select or QC might actually do even better with our tea pairing. Your video was extremely helpful. While we do have smokey teas, we have found that Shu Pu'er tea pairs really nicely with Laphroaig! Happy sipping and I'll let you know how the pairings turn out. Cheers, Phil
Really enjoyed this episode. I had my first Laphroaig this summer and it was a generous pour of Laphroaig 10 in a supper club for $9. I was a good whiskey especially for the price.
Love the walk through the distillery range. Please do more like this with other brands (including blends).
Been watching you guys for a couple years not started with buffalo trace and americans but played around with "scotches". Recently opened a laphroig select and after drinking "simpler" whiskeys for a while i totally get it! You guys are the best!
Loved the tastes of Laphroaig Brodir that I had last week. Wonderful stuff!
Loved the comment about Lagavulin. The adult in the room telling the kids to play nice.
IM SOOOOO HAPPY!!! Thank you guys!!!
Laphroaig is my favorite scotch so far. Haven't had the Lore or Select yet, but of the ones I've had Quarter Cask is my favorite.
This video is such a great idea and very enlightening for people who are new to Laphroaig like myself! Thanks guys!!
I looked this up because I got some Laphroaig Select and wanted to see the notes you picked up. On the nose I got a nice rich and sweet bbq scent. and a little musty grain with it on the taste. It's my first Laphroaig and I really enjoy it already. You Magnificent Bastards have really got me deeper into my love of whisky.
I recently had the quarter cask while eating a Texas brisket... It was heavenly. I highly recommend it. The smoke in the meat blends so well with the peat of the whiskey.
1) Nice to see the mooch hit his limit. 2) As a member of the facebook group, I see this starting a cult war. 3) I've never had the chance to try Laphroaig, Ardbeg, or Lagavulin, but I've put the Laphroaig on my Christmas list... 4) I love what you boys are doing and can't wait to see more, you've built something beautiful here. Community, ball busting, and comradery.
You can’t go wrong with any of those bottles 👍🏻
Wow, I’ve just found this channel, nice to see a couple of Americans appreciating some fantastic drinks! Keep it going gentlemen!
Today was the day! I have been slowly building myself up to the 10. Redbreast 12 Cask Strength is my favorite whisk(e)y at the moment and i've been inching closer and closer through the flavor range hoping it would help me enjoy the 10 more. The first time I tried a peated scotch at a tasting I almost threw the glass back at the jerk who thought any human should drink such a thing. After getting used to Oban 14 which I now really love I decided it was time to take the jump. I was so pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed it. I won't go as far to say I'm a peathead now but it gives me a whole new flavor profile to expand into that I actually look forward to. Thanks for all the advice on how to build up to this monster!
Lore truly is the best lahroaig expression. Its so earthy. So different from most other laphroaig whiskies.
3 episodes, 3 Videos, almost 30 whiskeys in 1 day and that wet spot is still there Rex....
That's how we know he's sacrificing for the tribe 😉
I haven't had all of what Laphroaig offers, but I LOVE the Triple Wood. Its no longer going to be offered at my local agent so I'm going to pick up at least a bottle or two for conservation.
I love all the Laphroaig expressions, but for me the Select is just perfect ... such a complex, understated, and underrated whisky!
YES!!! #TEAMLAPHROAIG
Laphroaig 10 cask strength is my favorite.
I tried laphroaig lore for the first time ever and it's the only laphroaig I've ever tried and I loved it. Cant wait to get my own bottle.
you know shit gets real when Daniel spins the glass on its side before sipping
Just got my first Islay single malt, laphroiag select. I watched this episode while tasting and was taken aback at the notes you were getting as all I was able to find was a ton of peat up front and a lingering wood ash it’s truly impressive how much your guys tastebuds have aclimated
You need to try 10
I totally agree with the Dark Princess of Ardbeg on this one. But as I do embibe on Some Laphroiags ( and love Cardeias bottlings) . The 2018 Fino cask Cardieas is my favourite to date and kicks the Madeira casks butt!!
Lore for the price IMHO is just not worth the double cost of the 10, QC , or the select.
Now on to Ardbeg!!!!
One of my favs! Laphroaig is good but I mean this video... you can tell you are both in deep... but handling it very well.
My hunch is that you did a few videos and then were like screw it! Let’s do an Islay. Hence this video.
Also Rex basically taps out in this video(Respect!).
Anyway, love this. You guys rock. Thanks for the whiskey journey. I now know a thing or two thanks to you guys.
Because of this video I grabbed a couple of Select to compare with the 10 on my own this Christmas. Thanks guys! 🥃
Best select is my favorite scotch of all it’s a wonderful experience
My friend and I tried Laphroaig 10 the other day with essentially no peat background. Reminded us of a cast iron stove. In a good way.
Yeeeeees :D The one to compare them all. Great episode!
I've gotten quite a few different scotch single malts over the years, but I've never really treated the whiskeys as anything but cocktail/coke fodder. I recently traveled down the rabbit hole that is youtube whiskey, came across the Whiskey Vault/Tribe and was inspired by Rex and Daniel to properly enjoy my whiskey.
I had bottles of Glen Fiddich and Glen Deveron on hand to sip neat, enjoyed it and because Laphroaig kept coming up in their videos, I decided to give it a try today. A Laphroaig 10 year.
Maybe I should have watched a video on smoky whiskeys, maybe I should have done this while I was still smoking (I gave up cigarettes/cigars 6 years ago for vaping) but one sip of the Laphroaig and I was re-evaluating my life choices. I can understand how it would go with a cig or cigar but for non-smokers (my wife had the same reaction), it was really off-putting.
Going to have to look for smokey whiskey cocktail recipes now...
Big bourbon guy here just now diving into peaty scotch and the select was amazing thanks guys for this video or I never would have tried it
Yes, yes, yes!!! Pleeeeeease more of these
Very Happy you did this thank you
One of the Mooch's moochiest performances! Well done guys!
love your gig...this is the place i always come back to for helping me to decide which one to try, based on your informative/entertaining reviews. always try. to turn people onto your channel.
being a newbie to scotch i just started with the highland park 12...love it....
am undecided which laphoaig: 10 vs quarter cask or something from talisker.
even bowman 15
Awesome!!! Can't wait to find a bottle of LORE...
Wait... Did Rex just pick the select as the best Laphroaig!? *Gasp*
Laphroaig 10 Cask Strength is personal favourite, need to try the Lore now
Select is one of those few that I could just have all day
A Video just to annoy Christina Zirpoli
Tomorrow will make up for it hopefully so they don't have to feel her wrath.
The best kind...Pork Roll!
@Will Brent your getting that feeling too.. Huh...
@@christinavanness7697 *finger guns*
Ardbeg is just a sweet nothing. Ahem... Whatever you like. Way too drinkable. Is that a dis? You decide....
Never liked whisky, always was a rum guy, until one day TH-cam decided that next random video will be the first video featuring Lore... and something about Daniels enthusiasm got through to me... so i ordered a bottle from masterofmalt... my very first whisky i bought with my own money... best decision ever. Now though i feel like i am developing a bit of a problem though...
Once I did a thing, and mixed the 10 with the Select. .. It was shockingly good.
Amazing work!
I’d love to see you guys do a full Talisker run through.
Third shoot in the same day?! God please the work you are doing for the peewble!
I’ve only had Ardbeg 10. Oh the smokey goodness. Definitely must try Laphroaig.
I love them all!
The only time i had the Triple Wood, i had almond or marsipan note, it was very pleasing.
Laphroaig 10 is honestly like drinking diesel but i like it for some reason
My two favorite whiskeys are glenlivet 14 because it was my first whiskey and the laphroaig 10
I love the Select...
Finally bought me a bottle of quarter cask. And after a nite of playing board games and eating whiskey amd dry rubbed roast.
I can honestly say Loren Carney is my person.
Select is significantly cheaper (by a third) than the standard 10 where I am and that's just too good value to pass up. Great sipping option
I’m drinking triple wood right now and I have to say... although it’s not a peat punch in the face, I find this whisky to be one of my favorites... top ten if not top five...
Rex seems very focused for these Tribe week episodes. Very impressive considering he seems to be getting hammered in the process.
Dang! I literally almost bought a Laphroaig Select the day before this published. I just couldn't quite pull the trigger on an Islay yet. I don't know if I'm ready for that kind of slap. I may have to go back now, since it seems to be the friendly Islay. I haven't had much peated anything yet. I've had some Conemara, Buchanan's and Tomatin. Is there peat in Dalmore 12 and JW Black? I've had those too. I just bought a Magnus (instead of Laphroaig Select, they were very similar in price), but I have yet to get to try it.
Wait... People think Laphroaig is better than Ardbeg??
OH NO. I FEEL THE CULT CALLING.
Had to get quite a whisky to celebrate quite a moment. When I started my research and first looked at my local store only the Uigeadail was available. When I was good to go only the Lore was there. Lore it is then, and yeah, quite a whisky.
After only ever drinking sweet and friendly whiskey, about a year ago I tried Laphroaig select. I had about 1 sip and realized it was a huge mistake. It tastes like I just sipped Copenhagen chew spit water. Lol. Fast forward a year I bought a bottle of Laphroaig 10. After a month of sipping on it it actually grew on me and I started really liking it. I finished the bottle a week ago and just bought Laphroaig quarter cast. I think it’s my new favorite whiskey! Sweet and Smokey all mixed together perfectly. Amazing
Ryan H I think your initial instinct still holds up. I have been drinking Laphroaig for decades and can tell you that I’m not alone when I say that Select does not belong in the lineup. It is a much more muted and less nuanced whiskey, that really isn’t what most Laphroaig enthusiasts would expect from their beloved distillery. Seems like an entry whiskey for those who are not comfortable with an intense Islay experience.
The 10 Original Cask Strength is truly a masterpiece. It is absolutely worth the price difference and its unique characteristics will be appreciated immediately upon first tasting.
Laphroaig and Ardbeg are indeed the two best Scotch whiskies ... Period. 😊
Laguvlin 16
I concur sir.
Kilchoman
@@ophnell56 Lagavulin is way more complex and way more balanced. If I were to write a review about whisky in some magazine I would definitely give the win to the Lagavulin, but personally I really love the Laphroaig 10. It's so clear, smoke and iodine, it does pretty much only those 2 things, but it does them so well.
The Sultan is disappointed you have not featured the Springbank distillery, they do everything from peating and milling in-house, plus you have the different brands such as Longrow and Hazelburn. It be a really wonderful distillery to feature!
I just compared Laphroaig 10 and Lagavulin 16... and I love life
To help pick out tasting and nosing notes, what types of Sherry and Port wines do you recommend?
Trying the quarter cask for the first time tonight. Wish me luck as I’ve never been a Isley fan before. Hopefully this will change my mind.
I just bought a Laphroaig 10 in recent days just because of you, magnificent basterds!!! Cheers to you from Mexico City 🥃
Just bought a bottle of Laphroaig Select from Sainsburys ( super market ) for £23.00 and its amazing, usaully a Ardbeg fan and this is very simular to AN OA and hell of a lot cheaper since you guys put big tax on importing whisky in to USA, and we all thank you for doing it as whisky is now so cheap in UK now, as there selling it all off
cheers guys, Im learning so so much from you both thanks.
select not a bad drop if considering bang for ya bucks here in NZ. select $65
10yo 80-$100
Not sure what the conversation rates are like but I’m in the UK and just picked up a bottle of the 10yr old for £26. Definitely worth it at that price.
@@adamcroft80
Thats a great price mate!
That about $50 nz.
Like I said I pay around $80 nz for that same bottle some try charge a little more.. great drop though 👌
Lore, Quarter, Cask St, Select, 10. Can’t get Triple Wood or Cairdeas in my area. But the Lore for obvious reasons isn’t gonna be my daily drinker. I’d be a happy man w a bottle of Quarter Cask on the self all day long!
The Quarter Cask is an absolute winner for me!
Daniel throwing that grenade over to the Ardbeg cult. It's like the dark Mooch has influence him. I like it.
My favorite is Select. The 10 is a go to for availability. The Quarter Cask is a little too sweet for me. The brine, smoke, oak, and peat is my Laphroiag drive.
Love the QC, my fav, and also the adult Lagavulin 16 but must try the Lore but last bottle I saw here in Canada was $200, yikes!
Laphroaig Lore is dreamy. It's a good example of a successful NAS (value for money).
YES!!!!!!!!!!! Laphroaig!!!!!!
Drunk Rex is very drunk.
This Rex child is very childish
Hobbits don't have beards.... well, traditionally.
I detect a fair bit of green smoke with that obvious ethanol burn.
Except maybe the Stoors
Unrelated to this video, but a question for the MBs… just purchased a Heaven Hill BIB bourbon when visiting Kentucky, as they are doing away with this bottling apparently. My question is, it being a screwtop instead of cork, is shelf life of an unopened bottle still somewhat unlimited, or should this not be put into the “collector stash”? Any information regarding this is extremely appreciated! Thanks guys!
Daniel's menacing look was hilarious.
2 questions: 1. is it the Laphroaig in Peat Monster that gives it the cigarette ash in the finish? 2. I don't get that finish in the triple wood, are there any other expressions that minimize that?
What are the most commonly used Sherry casks for finishing? Dry or sweet?
Could the "medicinal note" be considered as similar to the meicinal note in say, Angostura bitters?
Hang in there Rex!
2 of my fave smelling drams that I do not enjoy the taste: laphroaig triple wood and talisker 57 north.
Does the full Playlist play backward newest to oldest for anyone else?
Background whisky is not a description I've heard but it just is Laphroaig select. That whisky is my Life Is Strange videogame whisky.
Daniel, i started on Monkey shoulder and loved it. Today i saw a bottle of Laphroaig select for £23 and bought it.... Everybody told me Islay would hit me around the face and spank me but I LOVE the smokey flavour, except the Iodine at the end is something i'm not a fan of, (perfectly drinky, the whole bottle went in one night)......... what Islay (or not) is smokey without the medicinal note? I feel like i know what i want now and just want a Peaty whiskey without the medicinal notes. Thanks man
Daniel, so I've had 3 bottles of Lore, and it's my all time favorite liquid. I have always looked for Ardbeg Dark Cove, but cannot find one. How do they compare? Which do you prefer? I'd assume Lore, but interested in the tasting notes of the Ardbeg.
I would like to hear your opinions on the QA cask version which is just below the Triple Wood in price.
This video was hugely surprising, it was helpful..(jokes) Seriously though, I'm getting low on my Laphraoig select and I was going to get the 10 next, now I don't think i will since they're pretty different, thanks!!
I’m sipping on my Lagavulin 16 while watching this. Trying to decide if I should try the cheaper Laphroaig Select ... for when guests are visiting and I don’t want to share my Lagavulin 16. But, now I’m interested in a bottle of Laphroaig Lore 🥃🤔🥃 #FirstWorldProblems
I didn't realise I like medicine until I tried Laphroaig. It is pretty sobering to think dettol can taste so delicious when you paired it with peat smoke.
