Daniel and Rex, Thank you. This year has been one of the worst if not the worst I have had (I lost both my mother (cancer) and my uncle (covid) this year within 2 months of one another). Your reviews that I watched taking care of Mum (I was her primary care giver) gave me some smiles but this episode was the first all out laugh I have had since February. Both were scotch drinkers and introduced me to whiskeys which I have expanded on. Please raise a glass (preferably scotch) to them and keep up the amazing work.
@@lukashavel7690 I've tried a couple Irish, and maybe it's because my nose is broke (i.e. clogged CONSTANTLY) but I really can't tell the difference between them.
@@lukashavel7690 as an Irish drinker I totally disagree. I think Irish is much more reasonable. I order a lot from Ireland, outside of things like Redbreast 27
Haha! Picked up the Blackpitts about a month ago. And one of my buddies picked up the Connemara last week. We had a gathering over the past weekend, and we did contrast these two just like you guys. We all agreed that these would both be good options to introduce new-ish whiskey lovers to peat. Big fan, don’t always comment.
A little way into my whisky journey from the UK just wanted to say fun reviews guys. Whisky is a serious business with a fun side. You have nailed it. Definitely going to catch up on your others
We have a thing called "Schlenkerla" around here, a maerzen type beer traditionally made with beech-smoked barley malt. You love it or you hate it, there's nothing inbetween. They do fill in oak casks excluselively, althoug the aging is done in stainless steel before. They don't sell the casks to privateers, but offer a liquor made from the beer.
@@lilinguhongo2621 that actually sounds pretty wonderful to me homestly, this is my first time hearing of it but i’m going to have ro hunt down the beer and liquor to try it soon
Their flavor notes inspired me. In my glass: a few drops of Ardbeg Wee Beastie, 10-15 drops Isle of Skye and an ounce of Teeling: magical! I'll definitely be looking for the peated Teeling!
I remember a tasting from Teeling either shortly before or after the Blackpits was released. I think it was Alex Chasko who told us that they bought the most heavily plated malt that they could get their hands on and after the third distillation run, they couldn’t pick up any smoke in the distillate. It only came back during the maturation
A chair like that needs an oar to be propelled. Connemara is my favourite Irish. I'm Irish, grew up helping process turf and have many a fond memory smelling it burn. I cant wait to try this Teeling.
This one piqued my interest. I had a browse to see the kind of cost I would be looking at and came across the ginger beer cask! I hope the boys get around to it.
Ordered Blackpitts from Ireland for my husband in November when it released. It’s a good one to try if you are just getting into peated Irish. It’s not as strong as others and it’s sweet and fruity
After watching this episode and looking back at most of the other episodes, I now realize why I watch Whiskey Vault/Tribe. My kids don't seem all that bad now.
I'd love to sample another peated Irish whiskey! Connemara is the only one I have found on the shelves with any regularity. I'm glad I am not extremely sensitive to smells, however I do hear a similar voice in my head when I am leading up to doing my own video. "Don't use the scented lotion!" "Shave early so you don't smell like shaving cream and after shave!" "Is someone in the next apartment cooking right now!?". And I do believe some of us will be waiting for you guys to bottle something called "My cousins hooch" at some point in the future. 😂
Did Rex get his nap? Lol after y'all mentioned it last EP... I was like....yeah, I could go for one of those! Especially before I go get firewood in the blaze..
I think we need a little fuel gauge indicator in the top corner of the screen to indicate how many tastings have already happened during the filming prior to the current video.
At the beginning of your whisky journey, would you recommend trying as many as possible or would you limit it to lower strength whiskies? I’ve only tried whisky’s around the 40-45% so far but I’m always tempted to buy some cask strength stuff. Too soon?
In an unrelated instance, I did a cork pop on Dublin Liberties Devil Oak aged 5 years and described as bourbon cask aged. A honeysuckle experience of note
One thing you forgot to mention is that Blackpitts is triple distilled. That makes it, to the best of my knowledge, the only triple distilled peated single malt on the market.
Hey Rex, a while back you made a comment to the effect of "are you knocking my breakfast whiskey?" I have a solution for that, just remind them that many smoothies include soaked grains, oatmeal, quinoa etc. Well just tell them you are having a purified grain smoothie that is made with (insert mash bill of said breakfast whiskey) grains.
Not gonna lie, haven't watched yet but saw the whiskey bottle and thought to myself: "this is going to be so good..." Edit: Must try! And I busted out laughing on Rex's impression of Daniel's sensitive nose 😂 (I sympathize...)
Daniel: having all sorts of atypical sensory processing stuff... Me, an autistic person: Welcome to the club, bub. Certain scents, flavors, textures, noises, etc. are as out as counting to 5 after pulling the pin on the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.
Rex's shopping list after this shoot: 1. Banana Boat After Sun w/ vitamin e cream for his forehead. 2. As many varieties of Yankee Candle Housewarmers as he can carry and sneak into the vault. 3. Ibuprofen for Daniel's inevitable migraine. 4. A plethora of various colors of linen shirts.
Is it just me or Rex's voice got waay deeper compared to the videos 3 or 4 years ago? (Yes Im bing watching everything from the channel in chronological order)

There's a moment in nearly every episode when these two remember that they have a whiskey to discuss.
Even though they mentioned the rep, they forgot to “crickets” them… My second favorite Easter egg to watch for.

My list of whiskies to buy has grown significantly the past 2 weeks
Shame that irish whiskies are often overpriced. Even compared to scotch.
mines been exponential for the last 4 years...
@@lukashavel7690 I've tried a couple Irish, and maybe it's because my nose is broke (i.e. clogged CONSTANTLY) but I really can't tell the difference between them.
My list to buy is alive and always growing. Another review = another one added to the list

Good Morning MB's
Greasings and lubrications! 🥃🥃🥃
Idk why this popped into my head but now i want more than anything to taste what a peated stout cask finish would be like
Lagavulin 11 year offerman edition... Guinness cask finished
@@kensweetser this was my first time hearing of their guinness cask edition, thank you kind sir
@@kindoflikewayne7965 👍👍👍👍👍

The linen shirts you should get are the Cuban Guayabera shirts. They also have 4 pockets to hold your cigar cutters and lighters.
The faces of Daniel and Rex in the thumbnail is a key indicator to me if the episode is going to be worthwhile to watch. That's why Im now here
Their flavor notes inspired me. In my glass: a few drops of Ardbeg Wee Beastie, 10-15 drops Isle of Skye and an ounce of Teeling: magical! I'll definitely be looking for the peated Teeling!

8:10 "Beer Direction" is NOT what my audio processing centers gave to me 😂🤣
Did you get the "D"?
@@Crazt oddly, yes. I heard "beard" if that helps
@@burleymullins8776, you know what. I'll see myself out.
I tried the teeling small batch one. 46 alcohol yet very smooth
First Irish whiskey that I found had that shortbread cookie note and I’ve tried Redbreast, Green Spot etc.
Small batch is very nice
Just ordered this blind, I hope Teeling keeps their streak of never disappointing. 😁
The Teeling Blackpitts is delightful. I also wish Ireland would do more peated whiskies, but I will take this one and the Connemara...for now. :)
A chair like that needs an oar to be propelled.
Connemara is my favourite Irish. I'm Irish, grew up helping process turf and have many a fond memory smelling it burn. I cant wait to try this Teeling.
You guys are freaking awesome love this video. Please do not change how you guys are. 🦅🇺🇸💪😁👍🥃
😂 I love your guy’s sense of humor. I’m on the same boat.
This one piqued my interest. I had a browse to see the kind of cost I would be looking at and came across the ginger beer cask! I hope the boys get around to it.
The voice is completely spot on to Daniel, even if he doesn’t realize it.
5:10 is that an actual quote?
Ordered Blackpitts from Ireland for my husband in November when it released. It’s a good one to try if you are just getting into peated Irish. It’s not as strong as others and it’s sweet and fruity
Teeling, it’s the pitts
I came for the whiskey, I stay for the humor. Thanks guys!
I just bought a bottle. Can't wait.
You can kinda see and feel that is the last ep. of a day...banter is on point. MORE tipsy/smashed Daniel and Rex .
Good Morning Gentlemen.
Does Connamara still make the heavily peated version?
The Connemara Turf Mor was a limited edition. Haven’t seen it in the states for a while.
You both are always funny 😂 keep up the great work 🥃
After watching this episode and looking back at most of the other episodes, I now realize why I watch Whiskey Vault/Tribe. My kids don't seem all that bad now.

Try powers three swallow
@@maynardosullivan I'll add it to my wishlist!
I may have not mentioned it but I have not forgotten your cherry hearsay!
Did Rex get his nap? Lol after y'all mentioned it last EP... I was like....yeah, I could go for one of those! Especially before I go get firewood in the blaze..
Connemara is 40%, Teeling is 46% accounting for the density. I thought Conn was more vegetal and Teeling more ashy. I like the Teeling a lot more.
Aside from Wizard Academy have you guys actually produced and posted ads for the bar or the Distillery?
I think we need a little fuel gauge indicator in the top corner of the screen to indicate how many tastings have already happened during the filming prior to the current video.
Is it as smokey as laphroaig 10?
A bit of a pedantic statement but...the hat you were mentioning Rex is called a Panama Hat.(which ironically isn’t even made in Panama but in Equador)
At the beginning of your whisky journey, would you recommend trying as many as possible or would you limit it to lower strength whiskies? I’ve only tried whisky’s around the 40-45% so far but I’m always tempted to buy some cask strength stuff. Too soon?
G’day MB’s
Please review The Quiet Man Traditional Irish Whiskey
Good to know y'all care
Connemara 12 year old is even better than the Connemara. You guys MUST try.
This ones on the list has been for some time Teeling make excellent whiskies!!
'Done with it Rex' is my spirit animal
In an unrelated instance, I did a cork pop on Dublin Liberties Devil Oak aged 5 years and described as bourbon cask aged. A honeysuckle experience of note
Sounds like a good excuse for another trip to Ireland.
One thing you forgot to mention is that Blackpitts is triple distilled. That makes it, to the best of my knowledge, the only triple distilled peated single malt on the market.
I'm sorry , did The Mooch just say " Please don't" to someone pour him more whiskey at 1:10 ?????? The Mooch is broken ! We need a new one !
Hey Rex, a while back you made a comment to the effect of "are you knocking my breakfast whiskey?"
I have a solution for that, just remind them that many smoothies include soaked grains, oatmeal, quinoa etc. Well just tell them you are having a purified grain smoothie that is made with (insert mash bill of said breakfast whiskey) grains.
Rex- “I’m to tired to complain.”
Also Rex- Complains about Daniel’s complaining.
Congrats Rex, you mooched complaining
If y'all ever do a rum finished whiskey for bottle release make the NA whiskey lords the label art.
Well, I now know where I’m going to stop during lunch.
How I miss the cask strength Connemara!
Rex is so much more entertaining when he's totally exhausted! 🤣
4:42 - Rex, please do more of that voice! :D
I neeeeed it
Daniel should now have the title of THE SMELL LORD
I loved this one. That is all.
Not gonna lie, haven't watched yet but saw the whiskey bottle and thought to myself: "this is going to be so good..."
Edit: Must try! And I busted out laughing on Rex's impression of Daniel's sensitive nose 😂 (I sympathize...)
No awkwardness and no crickets. We demand the awkwardness and the crickets!
The Dan hand slam is still happening. LOL!!
Daniel is looking particularly well fed these days.
Daniel: having all sorts of atypical sensory processing stuff...
Me, an autistic person: Welcome to the club, bub. Certain scents, flavors, textures, noises, etc. are as out as counting to 5 after pulling the pin on the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.
Now that you mention it, his obsessive knowledge of whiskey seems very snappy...
You guys don't review moonshine very often. I love a well made moonshine.
Rex's shopping list after this shoot:
1. Banana Boat After Sun w/ vitamin e cream for his forehead.
2. As many varieties of Yankee Candle Housewarmers as he can carry and sneak into the vault.
3. Ibuprofen for Daniel's inevitable migraine.
4. A plethora of various colors of linen shirts.
What... no awkward moment of silence? You even referred to it but just jumped in to the review.
Daniel: It's a fruit bomb with a smoke finish.
Rex: A bomb though?
Daniel: No
I need this.
back jack chairs...
Rex needs a hoveround.. lol
There will be a lot more peated Irish whiskeys coming on the market in the next few years.
Is it just me or Rex's voice got waay deeper compared to the videos 3 or 4 years ago? (Yes Im bing watching everything from the channel in chronological order)
I also feel like Daniel got smaller some how lol
So we all gonna act like we didn't notice the lack of crickets?
The voiced he used sounds like Rory Scovel
fifth... 1.75L Whatever.
GOOD MORNING YOU MB'S... 🥃
Smoke with no iodine. Great entry into the smoky whisky world if you want a gentle introduction.
Rex should open a bag of hops right before Daniel walks in to the studio.
For next episode Rex is going to rock the Karen haircut.
I believe they're called Panama hats, not Havana
I would like to join the North American Whiskey Lords crew🥃🤠😎
“Who ate lunch yesterday?”
I don’t think these guys were sober during the filming of this video….
Edited to add: that is NOT a complaint!😊
Isn't that part of the fun?
@@justsomeguy-yd3yw oh, my comment should not be construed as negative in any way.😊
Love this whiskey
What kind of "Mooch" says "Please dont pour us more whiskies" @1:10 ............shame
I’m remembering the chicken nugget debacle.
Dead tired Rex is a witty Rex at least.
Just be glad it wasnt chilli heatwave doritos , that smell never leaves and is super in your face
"rep sent so it need an awkward pause and crickets!"
no pause, no crickets??
Where’s the crickets?! Lol
Rex NEEDS to fart in the room to throw off the ambient smell.
We demand Daniel Fashion Week
Lol sounds like Daniel haha who washed their hands?! I smell Colgate! The vault must be an axe free zone...
slàinte 🥃
🤣 I'm dying laughing at this one!
Is "Daniel" the new whiskey version of "Karen?"
We ALL have a "Daniel" in our little whiskey tribe. 🥃
Lookit that poor sunburned fivehead on Rex.
If you ever build that 90's ergonomic nightmare caster chair Rex will become Z- man the lame mooch!
Daniel, that hands on the hips elbows back pose is called "The bitch wings". Just an FYI.
The pants Rex is wearing in this episode make me... uncomfortable.. And not in a good way?
35th! MBs good day!
Watched this after work and Rex made me tired.
“SMELL IS 90% OF TASTE.... MAYBE 95!!!!”
