** 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?

Why keep a personal diary on rex? Just ask highland park what he likes.
This comment deserves far more likes.
@jay rob IIRC they said something (or did something) and Highland Park did the same a bit later on (allegedly). Joke was Highland Park watches the show and is taking notes (allegedly)
*allegedly
But your comment, my good sir, it deserves more likes!
Hi fang and fether
Would you please send me samples of the ardbeg 20 something and the ardbeg 25 year old, I will gladly pay for it !!!
The world looks different through Ardbeg colored glasses... 💚💚💚
Christina Zirpoli translation: shit be tripen when drinkin ardbeg
Christina Zirpoli I joke. I joke
I'd say balance was restored
@@bradleyroberson1094 I feel at peace....
Christina Zirpoli grim and flavorless lol 😂
“The world looks different through Ardbeg.”
You just gifted them a killer slogan.
They can use a fat girl who, when viewed through the Ardgogs, looks like Scarlett Johansson. :)
Comparing EVERYTHING in a video like this is literally a dream come true, and shows the true power of the vault.
thank you for the sock idea.
-your friends at highland park.
Burn,...
I was hoping Rex was gonna say "I'm getting notes of cork" for the 17
Ardbeg 10 is all I need forever... if it gets better..I don't wanna know
@Howard Johnson Like that?
Uigeadail is the better IMO but 10 is also very very good.
Yeah that's just your wallet talking, sounds exactly the same as MY wallet.
It does. Uigeadail is fantastic.
I don’t have a fireplace, but when I sit in my chair in the evening, close my eyes and take a sip of Ardbeg Uigeadail, I hear a fireplace and feel the warmth... so nice.
Thank You!!!! I began my whiskey journey several months ago. After trying all forms and developing a palate, Ardbeg is the whiskey I can call mine. Absolutely amazing!!! I love your channel and hopefully I’ll make it down to Texas for a Som class in the future.
I'm so glad this episode exists.
I miss these days. You guys changed so much!
I tried the new 2018 Twenty Something (the 22 year old) and it was glorious. Fun fact--that was actually the FIRST Ardbeg I ever had. I'm only a year and a half into whisky, and there are just so many distilleries I haven't tried yet, and Ardbeg was one. I was at a whisky expo and was told if I wanted to try the Twenty Something to do it right away as it was going fast. So I did. Also tried the 10 and the Uigeadail that night, and loved them. Bought a bottle of Oogie and am looking forward to trying more from the lineup soon.
Wait... a true bottle-down... and no song???
But, Ardbeg has made it's proper resurgence. Well done Brad LeClerc
But does Ardbeg give you a plot of land with each bottle you purchase? I think not!
Which you can use for burying the Laphroaig for it's inferiority 😎
Laphroaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaig!!!
Lol
@@jonathanheidenreich8565 in my best Greta " How dare you!"
@@jonathanheidenreich8565
Exactly
I fell in love with peated scotch with Lagavulin 16 and Ardbeg has enhanced my scotch journey! Fabulous video guys!! Cheers!! 🙂
These distillery flights have been very enjoyable! Thanks for all your efforts!!
So much dolphin laughter, it is marvelou..... should I say magnificent!
Allegedly.
Hey Daniel,
Thank you for giving Rex his own month because I learned more these last 2 weeks then as long as I been watching the whiskey vault haha
Happy Ardbeg Day 2019 from New Zealand, I had my first Ardbeg 10 today and as pleasantly surprised. Long lingering smoke, fantastic. All the best, love your reviews
Because it's an Ardbeg day episode I wish I could give you guys more than just 1 thumbs up.
Hey Daniel and Rex! Love the videos :) I just got my self a bottle of Ardbeg and it's so different than what I've had before (but in a good way)! The smokiness is so pronounced, it lingered long after I had finished my glass. Thanks for the awesome recommendation and keep up the good work!
FINALLY you guys did Uigeadail. I was trying different ardbegs and it was definitely my favorite, but until now there had been no video with it.
Tried Dark Cove at the Grand Opening after party at La Quinta. An amazing Officer and a Gentlemen sat down with me and we drank a good amount of his bottle and talked shop. For myself it was a highlight of the evening. Jason Unsworth thank you.
Thank you for your content. I just purchased my first Ardbeg 10, WOW. What a whisky. Thank you.
I come back to this ep about to very six months or so. Absolutely love an Ardbeg day!
Man I miss episodes like this. So much tomfoolery! Fantastic
Appreciate the oogie love. It's been tied with Laddie Classic for my favorite 'best for the money' SMS
Daniel at 4:30 -- "I can't go through all of these."
Yeah, that worked out great!
I live in Austin. I have never been much of a drinker except a XX after work. I am retired now and my doctor tells me I cannot drink at all because of my heart medication. Now I drink vicariously with you every episode.Lekhayem.
Guys, thank you. I really enjoy listening how you describe the whiskys. I'm almost tasting them. When I actually do I can enjoy them better.
Agreed I love the Uigeadail! It's hard to beat.
The episode we have been waiting for is here! Perfect day too, I received very good news today!
Steve M nah
My friends and I are going bottle shopping tonight in prep for a game night, and i just added Ardbeg 10 to the list :D
We're all in Ardbeg world, Daniel. Some of us just choose to be blind to the truth!
Great episode. I picked up a bottle of Kildalton while visiting Ardbeg and it’s lovely but when this bottle is empty, I’m going back to my favorite Ardbeg… Uigeadail.
Great great great episode. This is an expensive line up!!!!!! Respect for Ardbeg , the 17 you described sounds very different than I have perceived. Strawberry and cream, very different indeed. I suspect the cork tainted your bottle maybe?? The Lord of the Isles ( only tasted once-;( ) was overwhelming sublime perfection to me.
I have been watching these videos for the past 6 months and have never been more thankful for these two guys. I went from jack daniels to crown royal, to johnny walker, to Glengoyne, to Ardbeg. I find it so weird that Ardbeg is my favorite 😲 half and half with sprite is like cotton candy! I never would have found such an amazing drink with the help from these videos and the friends along the journey. Whisky tribe forever!
Mixing ardbeg is sacrilege.
Ardbeg is my favorite. I recently had their Ardbog which was absolutely the best Ardbeg that I’ve had. I travel a lot, so I buy what I can when I can. Right now I have 10yr, AnOa, Uigeadail, Corryvreckan, Perpetuum, Kelpie, Grooves, Dark Cove and Auriverdes. I’ve also had Alligator and Galileo. And I recently saw Twenty Something for sale in Atlanta for well over $500. I am totally impressed with how distinct each of their whiskies are.
Living the dream Ed, living the dream 👍🏻
Greetings from Greece lads! Rex you are my hero dude!
I envy you guys. "Working hard or hardly working" applies best to those who are passionate and their work IS their passion.
Massive ardbeg fan and just found your channel, found a new home.
Those bastards "allegedly" at Highland Park.
Had my 1st Ardbeg OA tonight And tasted it with you.....I was surprised how quickly the peaty smack down was tamed after only a sip or two...🇺🇸🥃🏴.
The smoke was learnin' me good....now the dram sips feel back throaty and sweet if I wait for it.
I Do Love the 10 and how differently it can be appreciated from the Laphroaig.
My favorite is the Ardbeg Dark Cove CR of which I have 2 bottles. But I’ve also got a bottle of the Ardbeg Kildalton I have yet to open. But, for me I think the Ardbeg 10 is one of the best quality/price ratio whiskies.
I've only heard about the Kildalton, but I got to try a SMWS release that they said mirrored it a bit. Gotta love it!
If you're ever in the San Francisco Bay Area I'll open it for you... so many whiskies, so little time...
No Corryvreckan?? (Uigeadail is my favorite but I just wish it was in here for comparison sake)
Corryveckan is 💯 the best until you go past 20 years it shits all over An Oa and Uigedal
Finally a real whisky! 😎🥃 all hail ARDBEG!
About a day after watching this I stumbled into a bottle shop I had not been into before to find they had some Dark Cove. Damn does it live up to your hype! Sláinte
Christina will be pleased!!!
I've been blessed to try the main lineup and Uigeadail is my favorite. It tastes like Fangorn Forest. I hope to one day have Dark Cove and Lord of the Isles. Caramel is my preferred sweet so combined with the Tolkien-esque aesthetic and the fact that its a 25 year old ARDBEG in my mind its already one of the best whiskys ever made.
It probably is but you rather have a lot off good bottles off ardbeg or just 1 fancy 25 year old bottle is the question. Or you have too be rich... Then yeah I wouldn't care😛
Where was the Corryvrekan? Super strong, super tasty! Great tasting guys 😁
The vault is very impressive! I've never seen that much whiskey outside of a liquor store. Wow!
Uigeadail does have a peaty rich smoke hit on impact. However, the very close secondary burst of flavor extends long after Ardbeg 10 (which I like very much) has lingered off. Obviously Uigeadail has ABV superiority so enjoy on a consumption level slightly lower than the 10. You can't go wrong with Uigeadail if you enjoy rich peaty and smoky flavor that lasts.
dayum this was an awesome episode! time to look for dark cove and 20-something ardbegs!
July 2021 definitely time to revisit Ardbeg.
The "allegedly" and the "or so they say" broke me😂😂
I might have the opportunity to get my hands some dark cove next week and I am HYPED!
Glad to see them give attention to the mid shelf Islay this week, time for Lagavulin. 😂
mouth watering on the last two bottles thumbs up
Since discovering whisky tribe i have bought a few whiskeys a few weeks ago i picked up a taster of ardbeg knowing that i would love or hate it and i feel neutral. Definitely a taste thats unique
having a corkscrew in the vault may be something to ponder
Drinking Uigeadail now. Amazing stuff
You guys are killing me, now I want to try all of them..
I like the outfits in this one. That robe looks like a badass hoodie.
I have only experienced blended scotch before this whisky. It is Awesome.
The note i love in ardbeg is that brinyness along with the peat
Nice vid (as always) guys.... love your work!!... and the salvage of the broken cork on the 17!!👍
Ardbegs are on sale today in house of malt.... I love the 10 yr, is it worth pushing to the An Oa, Uigeadail or Corryvreckan... or should I stick to the 10 year???
Yes this what we have been waiting for!!!!!!
I just tried Uigeadail last night. First Islay Scotch ever. It was a trip!
amazing the number of words (adjectives) you two use to describe these holy beverages and I keep taking notes. What you think about the Scapa?
I'm waiting for Highland park to come out with bottlings titled "Level 3" and "Mooch"
Or even "Demi-God"
Yes our calls have been answered ! All hail Ardbeg
Du denkst, du hörst Rex und Daniel beim Philosophieren zu und findest in den Kommentaren einen der, beinhart, Preußenpenner heißt. Grüße aus Österreich 😂
Great video and great lineup. 👍
Doing a taster on the ardbeg 10 myself as I watch closely followed by the Cotswold distillery first single malt,
A very good offering from a English distillery
Awesome review. Love Ardbeg.
So many good ones ! My favorite is my old friend corryvreckan.
Indeed, I wish they'd included Corryvrecken. I had a pour of Corry a couple weeks ago at a nice cigar bar and really enjoyed it.
Corry was my first and favorite Ardbeg
You KNOW the 1815 is a special bottle when Google can't seem to find an actual match on the initial search. :)
just bought my first bottle of ardbeg 10! I fkn love it!!
I think I am of the very few who enjoy a dram of Ledaig.
Its the Volvo of smokey whisky.
Safe and reliable, but can surprise your friends when you show them it can keep up with the best.
I look forward to trying more true scotch, but I do love a great bourbon.
I am currently trying out my first Ardbeg 10 and must say it is far superior to Bowmore 10 (airport edition)- no caramel, smoother, not as overpowering with the spirit, even though it has 46%! I still remain a Speyside/Highland kind of guy but Ardbeg is now my go to after a nice beef stew ;)
PS. Greetings from Poland guys!
Been an islay whisky fan for some time. Loved Ardbeg dark cove, kelpie, uideadail and bruichladdich most of the variations. Bowmore and basically anything i've tried from this place. Same for laprhroaig: Any good ideas for some other great scotch? btw also love Highland park viking/warrior stuff since im from Sweden and love anything viking inspiring
I've only tried the first three ones but An Oa is my favorite. It was a while ago that I compared them but to my memory the Uigeadail tasted like a campfire at the beach with the moke and a bit of salt. An Oa taste more like a campfire in the woods in the fall with the earthiness and darker tones. Ardbeg Ten is a good whisky but sde by side with the other ones it felt a bit bland. I like all three but where I live the An Oa is about $5 more than the Ten and Uigeadail is about $25 more but isn't enough bang for the buck.
This is my personal opinion and I respect anyone that feels different.
Boys, remember that the age will diminish the peat over time just from time in the barrel. In general, the younger the whiskey the more peaty it will be
Thanks, been wanting to try ardbeg for a while but can’t ever find samples! At least I’ll know what to go for next time I’m at a bar!
I have had Lagavulin, and Laphroig and liked them but Arbeg is my absolute favourite!
That's scary lol. I can't wait to try ardbeg when I get paid next Friday. I LOVE Laphroaig 10 and lagavulin but the latter has been so hard to find lately
I am a big fan of Ardbeg specially Uigeadail for the price. I have a bottle of Laphroaig 25 that's my favored but at $450 I can't afford a bottle every week. eep up the good work.
Marc
Can't wait to get me some Ardbeg for cold fall/winter nights !!!
I am thinking of buying either the Uigeadail or the Dark Cove !
Can you please tell me the differences between them ?
I love me some An Oa
You should explore the difference between Committee release and regular. I agree with your opinion of The Grooves . The committee release (the one you had, I think) was the one to have. Can’t disagree with Dark Cove either. Stunning!
I can’t be the only person who watches this and letterkenny. I couldn’t breathe laughing when Rex and Daniel were saying allegedly, I kept picturing Squirrley Dan saying it.
That’s a Texas sized 10-4. 😆
Excellent review educational fun video
There are a couple of first for me with this episode
First time i have a drink while watching
I mooched for the first time
I tried to blend for the first time
How did it go?
Surprisingly well!
Nice vid boys
I have just recently been watching your videos. I am sitting here with an Ardbeg 10 in my glass. This is second to my Laphroiag 10 (my favorite). I don't understand why a Lagavulin is considered better than the Laphroiag. (Not even figuring in the price point differential.) I am also drinking a Bunnahabbin which I think is better than the Lagavulin. The Caol Ila is also good. Oh. All these other Ardbeg varieties are not available her, so I'll enjoy your tastings, knowing I'll probably never taste them.
So here’s the deal. I’m a former Chef who now works in tech because that’s where the money is. A year out I’ve started missing the sensory aspect in food and then remembered I like whiskey and it’s extremely different from types and region. I look forward to browsing the rest of your backlog with no semblance of order until I’m eventually completely caught up.
These videos are great. I wish ya'll mentioned the rough price though.
the only ardbeg I've had is 10 y.o. Loved it.
Got and tried my first bottle of Ardbeg tonight and I’m picking up what they’re putting down 🥃
So Daniel and Rex, Lore or Dark Cove?
I love you guys. That is all
