Still It can I get a 80% right out the barrel? I want to forget the next day after I drink it. And make it super smooth because I want to destroy the whole bottle in 1 hour 😂
Adam Brown I can imagine being friends with rex is like this. Me: yo dude ima go to the store for some whiskey. Want something? Rex: yeah get me that whistlepig Boss Hogg 4, and a high west... and a supreme pizza from pizanos! Me: do... do you know how much money that is!? Rex: (hands you a $5) and get something for yourself 😉 Me: 😑
Still It made all of his whisky, that was that was tasted in the vault, with in his first year of distilling. Amazing results for a home distiller first attempt. I highly recommend his channel. Congratulations Jesse.
Still It was one of my first chanels to follow....(for undisclosed reasons 😆) Good to see you guys reviewing some of the home "craft" guys. Love it....THANKS!
Hey guys, I just wanted to say thank you and I love the channel, thanks to you guys and the support of good whiskey culture amongst the tribe, I've become the go to whiskey salesman at my bar and I'm a barback. All the background Daniel gives on each whiskey and its history have really made me seem vastly more knowledgeable than i actually am at the moment. And Rex's moochieness and tips for mooching go along way when I take one person on a whiskey journey that turns into 3 to 4 people going along for the ride, which in turn helps me sell even more, funniest bit is i work a mexican seafood cantina that has a bar so we only have like 18 whiskeys and 60 tequillas. So again thank you both for everything you do for all the tribe and all us aspiring somms, i'll be seeing yall when I can get out there to take somm level 1. P.s. Theres no way someone at Highland park isnt watching this channel, they call me moose at work so if you read this on a video don't be surprised if they come out with a moose whiskey haha.
Wow, this proves that a LOT of what we taste is based on knowing what the bottle is, and on reputation. The only true way to be fair to the dram is by a blind tasting. What you think is in the bottle even before tasting it is influenced by other reviews and hearsay. The best way to find out what is best is by a blind tasting(you being blindfolded) and trying the whiskies with no frame of reference other than smell and taste. Color can influence your opinion also, darker usually means older or more wood time. Cheers to the MBs and to the chap who sent this to them. Lots of work to prove a few great points. Cheers !
Still it and the Tribe... been waiting for this one for a WHILE... Like some others have mentioned, both channels got me into whisk(e)y. So glad to see this! Thanks to both for sending me on a kick ass journey!
Thanks for this! Y'all turned me on to Still It's channel while ago, and have waited for this ever since he said he was gonna send you some samples. This was the best collaboration I've seen in a long time.
Hey guys I love your videos!! I just discovered your channel 3 days ago and I swear I've watched 30 videos already haha I'm a whiskey girl for sure and I've already started a list of whiskeys to try over the next couple months (Green Spot being 1st on the list 😉) Just a little feedback though, and this doesn't affect what I get out of your videos, but I sometimes find myself telling Daniel, "Dude! Slow down! Let Rex get through what he's saying" lol Cuz I wanna hear what both of you have to say :) and sometimes it feels a bit rushed ya know? I know u only have so much time so I know you have to kinda move things along relatively quick, but hey I think it'd be great to sorta let each other get their thoughts out a little more. But I still love you guys!! And I totally respect what both of you contribute to the conversation. I'm so glad I found this channel. I already impressed my boyfriend who is also a huge whiskey guy with explaining *specifically* what adding a couple drops of water does, down to the non-water soluble substances trying to escape 😉 I feel much more prepared to drink whiskey mindfully now!
Huge lesson I think I learned- cuts matter. A lot. I've not seen all of Still it, but have gotten to one of the early cuts discussion. And based on what you and Jesse say- getting the right cuts make sure that the odd notes you don't like in young whiskies don't make it. And it matters A LOT. Which is important for a young distillery, if I might point out.
Rex your reaction to the letter at the beginning was quite excellent. I could imagine you thinking "This pleases me" as you were being read this. Until of course you were informed that he was just stroking you a little. But still a fantastic beginning. Keep up the legendary Moochiness and try to have Daniel do a video where you two try maybe 15 different whiskeys in one video. Are you up to the challenge? Is your level of Moochiness capable of such a powerful task? Let the world know!
Rex was right. Maker's is in the $30 ish range here in Georgia. $50 is the cask strength version. Where are you buying Maker's, Daniel? When I was there in Texas for the launch party, almost all of the whiskey was cheaper than it is here (probably due to some sort of state taxes).
great seeing Texans doing good whiskey I'm from Galveston Texas myself been a bourbon man all my life never really tried Scotch can you change my mind I don't think the whiskey vault can do it
What an informative and entertaining episode. Well done gentlemen! Let me get this straight, the only ball-busting and shenanigans was done by Still It? Rex Month is certainly different from Rex Week.
So I'm close to deciding if I'll go to UT Austin for my PhD, but aside from all the academic stuff there is one question that could make or break my decision. What is the whisky market like in Austin? Are bottles such as the Ardbeg special releases, and Buffalo Trace products readily available at good prices? As a reference, where I'm at in Florida Ardbeg 10 is a $55 bottle, and even Buffalo Trace and Weller Reserve are rare finds.
Love the videos guys. Now I have a question. I’m a big fan of Islay whiskys Lagavulin 8 is my favorite thus far with Laphroig 10 and Ardbeg 10 following up closely. I’m drinking Caol Ila at the moment watching this, but I’m trying to find a good Campbelltown to fit in that wheel-house. I was wondering what the Hobbit and mooch suggest. My grandfather in-law is Scottish and his last name is Campbell so I also thought this might be the perfect gift. I hope this comment has made it to the length requirement for Daniel to read.
Hey guys I’m turning 21 here in a few weeks and I’m curious if you have suggestions to start with. I’ve sampled some with my dad before but I never actually am able to quite figure out what I like. I was thinking maybe dalmore 12 but I’m not sure. Thanks.
Daniel, what's the tattoo on your right arm and what is the annoyingly fantastic story behind it? (Daniel selects comment... Rex reads it... Rex hates/envies Daniel... More shenanigans...)
Hey guys, how would I be able to send you a sample of whisky for feedback? I've gotten a bottle of which I'm sure its a bad batch - the tastes are just not what I'd expect off a whiskey like this and I'm wondering what you guys would react to it.
@@StillIt I can only imagine! I spent a summer in Australia and liquor taxes drove those prices to insane levels! If NZ is at all similar, then I'm very sorry sir. My point was really more just a sarcastic statement about the subjectivity of whisky prices 😉... And maybe to brag just a bit.
@@Matt-gf4gd oh I know that's what you were doing. Your a MB for giving shit. . . . And a straight B for the bragging. . . Only because I can't get it at that price lol
@@StillIt well don't feel too bad, at least you guys get to make your own! I can't do that here... Really, we should all unite to shit on the Brits, since they tend to get better scotch prices/availability AND they get to just order it on Amazon and it shows up at their door... I have to drive half an hour from my house to get those prices and assuming it's in stock at one of two stores 😟
Wow, thanks a bunch team. Im honoured you spent that much time on it!
Thanks for leading me to these MBs.
Y'all shoulda hit them with some kiwi situations to be fun!! Lol
where can i buy the whiskey?
The spicy one was 60% right out of the "barrel" I will send a little more when it's done.
Their old address doesn't work! Send the sample to me and I will make sure they get it!!
imadvizinyounow 😂
Still It can I get a 80% right out the barrel? I want to forget the next day after I drink it.
And make it super smooth because I want to destroy the whole bottle in 1 hour 😂
imadvizinyounow I'll "help" you "deliver" the packages 👨💻
A bit of mooch cred for Rex today. He has no idea how much Whiskey cost because he doesn't buy it.
I can still get Maker's for around $35. Too bad I don't like it. Or any wheated bourbons for that matter, just not my thing.
Adam Brown I can imagine being friends with rex is like this.
Me: yo dude ima go to the store for some whiskey. Want something?
Rex: yeah get me that whistlepig Boss Hogg 4, and a high west... and a supreme pizza from pizanos!
Me: do... do you know how much money that is!?
Rex: (hands you a $5) and get something for yourself 😉
Me: 😑
Still It made all of his whisky, that was that was tasted in the vault, with in his first year of distilling. Amazing results for a home distiller first attempt. I highly recommend his channel.
Congratulations Jesse.
You guy’s are what got me interested in the world of whisk(e)y!!!
Look I know prices can vary but Rex was spot on with the Makers Mark - $27.99 here in Chicago!!!
makers mark is $40 australian dollars
about the same in holland euros
For which one? Where I am in California, it's $21 to $52 depending on the specific Makers Mark bourbon.
Still It was one of my first chanels to follow....(for undisclosed reasons 😆)

Thanks for doing this for Jesse, I am a sucker for crossover episodes. I was more excited for this than when Urkel was on Full House.
. . . .wow that is excited!
I found this channel through Still It. Been watching ever since
Reporting in from NZ, liking this video at 0:00 because I know how good it's gonna be

I've been waiting a long time for this episode, love me some Still It.
Cheers mate
As a fan of "THE JESSE" I've been waiting for this awhile and you guys didnt disappoint..keep up the good works and shenanigans thx
ahhh shucks . . . . thanks mate
way to go. I have been watching both Still it and Whiskey Vault for some time. Thanks for such great informative contents.
Haha this is great! I found your channel when Jesse mentioned this. I've been waiting a long time for this! Now to watch his response video!
Rex was right. Maker's is in the $30 ish range here in Georgia. $50 is the cask strength version. Where are you buying Maker's, Daniel? When I was there in Texas for the launch party, almost all of the whiskey was cheaper than it is here (probably due to some sort of state taxes).
This is my favorite episode I've been running through your content cuz y'all r lit and this was fun!
Salute whisk(e)y world. From Ham Lake Minnesota. Great show guys.
great seeing Texans doing good whiskey I'm from Galveston Texas myself been a bourbon man all my life never really tried Scotch can you change my mind I don't think the whiskey vault can do it
Have liked scotch*
Finally! Been waiting for this episode forever!
Yeah that was mostly my fault man lol
Tribe week!
Awesome Review guys. Been waiting for this one for awhile. Anyone who hasn’t seen Jesse, check out his channel.
Cheers Josh :)
What an informative and entertaining episode. Well done gentlemen! Let me get this straight, the only ball-busting and shenanigans was done by Still It? Rex Month is certainly different from Rex Week.
Yeah . . . . .I got off light here!
Still It is the best place if you want to know how to make spirits.
Great Episode! I watch Still it as well, it was cool to see!
I believe that Rex nailed the Makers Mark, but he is such an elitist he has no sense of the price of things anymore. :-)
It's actually under $20 by me 🤷♂️
Tom McCafferty Makers is only 25 a 5th near me 35 for makers 46 so rex was correct
23-25 round here
$45 in Australia
Rex nailed it. Daniel is being unreasonable.
Daniel's never had pomegranate?
I guess a heads up is in order: there's some pomegranate in that mead i sent you 😂
Your show is so good even my wife can’t wait for new episodes to comes out. Speaking of you should have your wives on and do a tasting as a special
StillIt fan, this was a great video.
Didn't know you were into comics. That's awesome! Me too
Great show fellas! ⚔🍻⚔
That was a fun one!
- Fighting to make my self worthy!
Been so long, I forgot Still It sent you guys this stuff. Ha. Cheers.
haha, yeah. I screwed up with customs!
I really wish I could home distill legally. As a former chef I have so many fucking ideas. Maybe I’ll have a nice quiet piece of property someday....
Yeah . . . . its sad man. There is so much genius going to waste because of these laws. Look what happened to beer after they legalised!
Still It I live in VT. I know all too well what happened. I now live in IPA hipster ground zero.
Emigrate. 😉
Dan same brother! I’m a chef too frustrating isn’t it
You can't distill, but you can mix and infuse. It's hard to imagine that you can't get whatever you want "the easy way."
Daniel, what is a socky as opposed to a sock?
HAHA that got me for ages too. Then I realised finally he was talking about sake
Thank you! I thought Daniel was referring to tube socks or he had a pet name for an article of women's clothing. I was worried.😜
@@thomaselmer9728 hahahaha yeah me too man!
Makers Mark here is $30 after tax. So I give the win to the Moooch! Not the 46 that is a bit more.
So I'm close to deciding if I'll go to UT Austin for my PhD, but aside from all the academic stuff there is one question that could make or break my decision.

Are you guys gonna review the Conner McGregor whiskey, proper no 12?
Would you guys taste some homemade brandy? I know it's a completely different beast than whiskey, but I'd still love to hear your opinion on it..
Somewhat jealous that you can distill your own whisky. Sounds like you did an outstanding job Still It, keep it up.
Yeah . . . I wish you could all join in! Hope it changes some time soon.
yeah i love home distilling , glad to be in NZ!
You can distil your own as long as you are distilling for personal consumption and not to distribute
that was fun! : )
Tell me about it! lol
Hey guys I’m turning 21 here in a few weeks and I’m curious if you have suggestions to start with. I’ve sampled some with my dad before but I never actually am able to quite figure out what I like. I was thinking maybe dalmore 12 but I’m not sure. Thanks.
Rex make Daniel to wear pink
on it.
Daniel, what's the tattoo on your right arm and what is the annoyingly fantastic story behind it?
(Daniel selects comment... Rex reads it... Rex hates/envies Daniel... More shenanigans...)
It's a birth mark.
@@TheBradWhittington is it the birth mark that fulfilled the prophecy of the ultimate sommelier? 🤣
@djr 001 It slowly creeps up his left arm, inching closer to his heart, until . . .
I’ve been waiting for this!!!
me too mate, me too ;)
Still It I watched your video of you sending it in. So awesome man!
@@DanielRevolt ah true? Haha that's awesome!
Good morning to the whiskey world
Why good morning sir!
Rex is right, Makers at my local total wine is $19.99 for 750ml
Enh. Needs more dawg...😁
My 1st thought too.
Hey guys, how would I be able to send you a sample of whisky for feedback? I've gotten a bottle of which I'm sure its a bad batch - the tastes are just not what I'd expect off a whiskey like this and I'm wondering what you guys would react to it.
So sad I will never get to taste any of these.
Pepper Turning Machine FTW!
Where'd you get that shirt, Rex?
It's not what you know or who you know, it's what you know about who
Makers is only $25 a 5th near me and about $35 for makers 46 so rex was correct.
Edit: Nailed it in Louisiana
Will it or won't it still...yes?
Told you so!
I think the unidentifiable flavor in B1 is ..... LANOLIN! Sheep are everywhere over there! lol.
cereal milk is a flavor for vape pens and also for marijuana LOL. Time for whiskey to take its turn with this popular flavor
J. Riddle bourbon please.
*these dudes are fun* props
I'm enjoying these videos, but... isn't this supposed to be Rex Month?
what happened to rex month?
NEVER HAD A POMEGRANATE?!?!
I myself never had one until I was 30. Had pomegranate flavored things. Ever since I did have pomegranate I have been growing them.
Heh right??!
Traverse the air her voice it does
Like a pure perfect potion
Dream like to glide
With seamless motion
Grapefruit
How drunk is Rex?
*Tex* *Mex*
Guys go to 17:37 turn it down to 0.25 speed
Lol, that's funny
Have they review CHIVAS REGAL??
I browed through the Blended Scotch Playlist and didn't see a Chivas listed in the 55 or so episodes.
They havent given it its own episode but they compared it in episode 57 on ballentines and ralfy has done a review on it.
Oh I fucking called the Ballantine’s! YES! I would’ve gotten that immediately on the nose if I was there. :P
Someone please send this man a pomegranate.
Rex was right on 3
Man have I been waiting for this about time!!! Lol
Ayyyyyeeee! Yeah exciting!
And I said they would like it man. 🍻
So many comments, so fast! There's dozens of comments before there's even been time to watch the whole video.
The Makers Mark is $51 a bottle in Oz.
Around NZ $50 in NZ for the 700ml bottle.
30-50?! damn, i get makers for $18 here in cali
Makers Mark is how much?? Dear god, I can get a 1000ml bottle for less than US$40, and I live in New Zealand (coincidentally)
I don't know about NZ, but in Aus Makers mark is a lower proof and based upon positive US reviews I'd have to guess that it's substantially worse.
move to Missouri if you wanna still.
5th
But first in spirit
It's time for a re-do. Jessie, where you at?
I wanted to support Rex here, but you're both wrong! Maker's Mark is only $17.99 at my local total wine. So it's a $10-$20 bourbon.
You lucky . . . . .. check the price tag in NZ lol
@@StillIt I can only imagine! I spent a summer in Australia and liquor taxes drove those prices to insane levels! If NZ is at all similar, then I'm very sorry sir. My point was really more just a sarcastic statement about the subjectivity of whisky prices 😉... And maybe to brag just a bit.

lol love how y guys brighten a gloomy day
😂you guys sound like me n the crew after a couple shots just b4 we don't give a damn and just pound a couple and stagger home
Stick to one pronunciation of caramel! Preferably not the first one XD
FINALLY!
haha . . . . the delay was my bad man
Maker's Mark is $20 for a fifth in DC.
Finally!!!!!!!!!!
I told Jesse I’d have to hurt y’all if you were mean to him so your in the clear. Now you have to send him some of the peated we are making.
LOL I told you they would be honest mate. I like honest!
They’re tasting wide cuts
