Hello guys, really like your show. Quick story for you.. over the past few months I have gradually got my girl friend into whiskey. To my surprise she is really into the smokey whiskeys! She recently became a fan of the vault/tribe too! Anyway, yesterday I was having a glass and I got wondering were all my whiskey has been going, I keep buying bottles and it keeps disappearing. My girlfriend was walking next to me and said " I'm your whiskey mooch ". Thanks Rex!
Oh man! My favourite review so far. It’s got everything. The Moochness’ classic wit, Daniel’s knowledge, talking over each other, Rex hurling insults, Rex trying to sound smart with Chad editing over the moment (PPM). This one is a true classic 🤣!
I LOVE THIS WHISKY!!! I always get a taste that I can only describe as a big piece of smoked cheese over a piece of apple with a little peanut butter. 🙏🏻😍
December 28, 2020 - I am watching this video and comparing notes as I will be reviewing this soon. I love comparing Highland Peated Whiskies like this with Islay Peated Whiskies.
Bullet Rye has been added to my available mooch shelf, at the good professors house. And 1st off, the nose takes me back to California, and eucalyptus trees......wow, it’s there! And then the overall taste....is smile on the face of the cranky old man!! I feel like I’ve waisted years on this one!
Another great video on a great Scotch. Any change you guys have a bottle of Royal Brackla in the vault? Heard it has great flavour and some interesting history, would love to see a review on that. Thanks again for the video
I like the Curiositas very much, it is such a tasty one. I have lids for my whisky glasses and I like it very much, when the glas stays in the kitchen for the night or even longer and you open up the lid and smell things yiu never dreamed of in this intensity in a whisky. The Curiositas for example has an extremely meaty smoke flavour, almost like smoked bacon. I love it. Get it when you have the chance to...
cutty sark prohibition is a big step up from the regular. Bottled at higher ABV and very affordable (around 30 bucks), it's probably one of the better standard blends available and definitely bang for your buck. Check it out if you come across it
I recently bought a Glengoyne 3 pack with 10, 15 and 18 years old small bottles. In a previous episode you said that it is not necessarily better just because it is older. Of course I think I should drink these in age order but do you have a different idea?
Hey guys, I’ve been following the show for last year since I graduated college. I’ve since moved into my own place over the last couple months. I’m wondering what do you think are the five best budget whiskeys of different varieties for a young 20 something to establish a collection for him and his friends? (Watched the other budget whiskey vids/ more of a best of bachelor starter pad kind of question)
Could you give the inside of a barrel a wash and allow it to absorb some sea water prior to adding in the whiskey to give it that briny characteristic that a lot of island whiskeys get? Or am I mad
Have you guys kicked around the idea of using 1 or 2 (Oregon Barrels Works) barrels made of quercus garryana? I know that McCarthy's Oregon Single Malt uses them and as you have said its a pretty damn good whiskey. I have heard that Quercus Garryana can give whiskey a little funk but I be damned if I taste any funk in McCarthy's
So many tasty whiskies and so little time, I for one think that at some point you should do a rum and tequila tasting episode, but that's not my call. It would be interesting to see how Daniel and Rex would do the tastings for those. Maybe even port and sherry, and pair those with whiskies with finished in those casks, yes casks as a barrel is only a particular size.
Michael Abraham Ardbeg makes a great line of intense whiskey.. Try the 10 first and go from there. Lagavulin, and Bruichladdich also have some amazing peated offerings
Have you ever tried Belgian Whisk(e)y ? They are all relatively recent so they are all pretty young, but some are worth the try. The best one is the Belgian Owl.
I drive truck so I'm not home much.... my wife just showed me that are local liquor store is now carrying monkey shoulder but showing me a picture of the bottle she bought me... I got a good one
I'm suprised I've never actually asked this.. But the Cutty Sark question and the upcoming distillery opening got me thinking... My other half Lance and I are obsessed with Ardbeg. (anticipate snarky response here) On occasion we like to pretend to have our lives together and make the poor economic decision to pick up an Ardbeg of Ardbeg Days past that peeks our interests. Recently we went out into the world to find and buy a CR Dark Cove. While there we found a Renaissance! After finding online that it was released as the first 10 year whiskey made since Ardbeg reopened, we bought it before we could rethink our life decisions. We broke it open in honor of a gathering of Raymond the vessel of the Whiskey Mariachi, and Brad the Demi-god into our home. All were floored my it's magical existence. What Ardbeg releases other than the core line, Dark Cove, and Kelpie have you had? Are there any out there that you are interested in that you have not been able to procure.. And why are you interested?..
This is one of my favourite whisky! You missed an opportunity, should have added a small drop of water to it... it gets even better!! Can thank me later haha
good day you gracious parent-less man children! so I've noticed in many of your higher end whisky reviews (ardbeg 21, macallan m etc) that you find much cheaper alternatives which get you very close to the real thing without breaking the bank. my question to you (not rex in particular as I'm sure he'd just say the most expensive one in the vault) what whisky have you tried that is expensive (for whatever reason) but you personally believe is worth every penny?
So I know illegally distilled whiskey is called moonshine/white lightning, but are those names universal for illegal distilling? Would a backyard still of say, brandy be called a moonshine or would you just call whatever you made "bathtub-blank"
I bought this bottle and liked it at first but now I’m halfway through it and the smoky notes have changed from a savory meaty campfire note to just a flat ashy note. I’m confused and disappointed, anyone have a similar experience with Benriach 10 Curiositas or any other peated Whiskys
Apropos nada damn thing, I’ve been encouraged by your lack of response to my previous question and am nosing whiskies just before dinner so I can finish with a pairing experience. Tonight I cracked open a liter of Glenfarclas 105 8y/o to have with a spicy chicken breast. Good god of pepper almighty. Like drinking straight tobasco. Such a relatively soft nose to be such a scorching dram-a Queen. After my third attempt to taste I thought to myself, what the fuck proof is this shit??? Moral of the story, don’t ever drink till you’re stupid or even while you’re stupid. May your next dram Smell like smoked ham, And taste like ocean and heather Warm the chill off December While your senses remember That once we drank this together
what is the harshest and hardest whisky to drink for you one that pretty much just flat out hurts just to sip for each of you? sorru i want to see you each in pain lol
Ok, so now we know how Daniel got to the academy - but where the fuck did REX come from? Does he make videos in a shack on campus... for the academy? For his private clients? For the dark web?

Ryan Harrington that's awesome!

This is one of my all time favourite whisky. I love it so much, I got triggered by the few drops you poured outside of the glass :D
I LOVE THIS WHISKY!!! I always get a taste that I can only describe as a big piece of smoked cheese over a piece of apple with a little peanut butter. 🙏🏻😍
Sooooo I’ve crossed the line to Rye.....AND I LIKE IT!!
December 28, 2020 - I am watching this video and comparing notes as I will be reviewing this soon. I love comparing Highland Peated Whiskies like this with Islay Peated Whiskies.
"Try as I might, I still hear your voice."
What a beautiful relationship lol.

Need to try the 35 year old Ben Riach it blew my socks off.
Another great video on a great Scotch. Any change you guys have a bottle of Royal Brackla in the vault? Heard it has great flavour and some interesting history, would love to see a review on that. Thanks again for the video
Really enjoy this one. However, I think the Smokey 10 is even better! You trying any of the new Benriachs?

A Scotch on Bourbon Day!? And also...surprised me to find out that Rex brought Daniel into the Wizard Academy and not the other way around.
This is as close to Laga 16 as I’ve ever found in a 10yr, and it’s a Speyside
I recently bought a Glengoyne 3 pack with 10, 15 and 18 years old small bottles. In a previous episode you said that it is not necessarily better just because it is older. Of course I think I should drink these in age order but do you have a different idea?
In this episode the scotch hobit and the man formerly known as the mooch review scotch on national bourbon day.
Thanks cork squeak holes!! L0L
Bought one of these due to this. Nicely played.
So, when are you guys going to review Wild Turkey Master's Keep?
oh god yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

really hope my donation made it across the pacific! hoping to see that j-whisky reviewed on your next donation day!
What bottle was it?
Yoichi Woody & Vanillic!
You guys get the bottle?!
Could you give the inside of a barrel a wash and allow it to absorb some sea water prior to adding in the whiskey to give it that briny characteristic that a lot of island whiskeys get? Or am I mad
Welcome to the Whiskey Vault, here’s to fighting, stealing and drinking..
Another great video! Glenfinnich 21 rum cask
Whisky spectrum, Islay is Violet, Island is Indigo. Small and subtle difference but a difference. Like Highland and Speyside.
Have you guys kicked around the idea of using 1 or 2 (Oregon Barrels Works) barrels made of quercus garryana? I know that McCarthy's Oregon Single Malt uses them and as you have said its a pretty damn good whiskey.

I’m sold. I’m buying it.
"Welcome to the Whiskey Vaul"
*pours whiskey to the rim of the glass*
"Here's to fighting, stealing and drinking"
What are other scotches like Laphroaig 10. I like the campfire briney flavor
Michael Abraham Ardbeg makes a great line of intense whiskey.. Try the 10 first and go from there. Lagavulin, and Bruichladdich also have some amazing peated offerings
Ralfy Review 207a... he runs through the various Cutty Sark bottles available... as of a few years ago anyway...
Have you ever tried Belgian Whisk(e)y ? They are all relatively recent so they are all pretty young, but some are worth the try.
The best one is the Belgian Owl.
I love this whisky so much
Good video. I can buy it.
Wes Smith. And the people replied "Amen!"
Enjoy the offerings of the cask, while being wary of the Demon Deep in the Barrel. Blessed are the "People!"
you have piqued my curiositas on this one. Is it easily available?
Jeff Knapp I don't know where you are, but every store I've seen in MN that has a good selection of whisky has this, and it runs about $50.
Where did you get the Seinfeldish song at the beginning of the videos?
I drive truck so I'm not home much.... my wife just showed me that are local liquor store is now carrying monkey shoulder but showing me a picture of the bottle she bought me... I got a good one

Single malt scotch is my coach purse. 😀

I hear they might be getting some sent to them from across the pond. th-cam.com/video/u54qF-rb0e8/w-d-xo.html
Cheers.
The Enron of whiskey... damn that was a good reference

Moral of the story, don’t ever drink till you’re stupid or even while you’re stupid.
May your next dram
Smell like smoked ham,
And taste like ocean and heather
Warm the chill off December
While your senses remember
That once we drank this together
Robert Stone where’d your poem come from?
When do we get to see the next haircut?
Are we on a no peat kick? No peat challenge?
OH YEAH!...i may hav to travel...
One of the few whiskeys you review that I have no interest in buying. huh.....must have been the dry week effecting me.
Happy National Bourbon Day!!!
Wait, so Rex got you into the Wizard Academy?!?! Who tf is the real mooch here!?!?
I know you’re reviewing scotch but, happy national bourbon day
Yeah, Because we batch shoot these, neither of us realized bourbon day was coming up :-) For shame
Lol cheers!!
what is the harshest and hardest whisky to drink for you one that pretty much just flat out hurts just to sip for each of you? sorru i want to see you each in pain lol
And tomorrow?....Black bottle.....black bottle......black bottle....🤞
Why does the 10 taste like artificial sweeteners and cleaning chemicals.
Because my taste buds are jacked
First and a half
Isn't today the National Bourbon day? Why are you drinking Scotch? 🤫
Because we batch shoot these, and neither of us realized bourbon day was coming up :-) For shame
You lost me at charcoal and creosote.
That's okay. We'll take it from here.
Whiskey Vault, I have some JD staves. I'll start licking them to acclimate my taste buds.
First!!
Ok, so now we know how Daniel got to the academy - but where the fuck did REX come from? Does he make videos in a shack on campus... for the academy? For his private clients? For the dark web?
very likely all of the above
There's a very real chance he's videoing you right now
First
seven
Japanese whiskey is very common here in California...not bad, but overpriced in my opinion.
Сикст
Is there more than one cutty sark???? Daniel you should start your next episode by washing your mouth out with soap!!! You’re better than that!!!
Annoying
ppm = peats per million
Pizza per mile
