** 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?

You guys should do a "distillery day" and review the things sent to you by the reps/distilleries. If they send you another the get a whole episode. If they send you one bottle then they have to share with someone else. Could be interesting.
Mmmmm...always love finding out about a new Irish, but tat Port Charlotte is definitely on my radar now. Also, does anyone else think we need to have Chad do a sizzle reel of keeping the cameras rolling for about 5-10 min after the show stops?
I agree with your policy to companies, reps, etc- just like any other person donating booze. What is really great about your review is that you don't dump on things you don't like- you give real tasting notes that you may not appreciate, but you 100% recognize that other DO like those notes. Over time, I have been able to calibrate what you are saying to things that I might like based on comments you have made for whiskey that I do and don't like. That's what makes your channel so valuable.
The whole lack of snobbery attitude makes you do that, and you are 100% ok with people liking whiskey that you don't like- so you try to be very clear of what you taste. Works really, really well.
If ever you make the trip to Cape Breton to the Glenora Distillery, you can pour your own cask strength bottle of Peated Glen Breton or 23 year old bottle! The peated one is magical, smoke followed by vanilla for days!
I found you guys after the first Modern Rogue whisk(e)y episode and now i'm following you every day. :)
I started my whisk(e)y journey with a bottlw of Monkey Shoulder and it blew me away when i started to taste more than alchohol.
And now i have opened a gifted bottle of Four Roses and next to it sits a bottlw of Balentines.
Thank you guys for opening my eyes to the world of whisk(e)y. :)
Yummy! Sweet Bread-and-Butter pickle whiskey! Yeah, I want some of that! HIgh oil too!
Donations, a Patron Saint, a bottle-down ceremony, subliminal messages? This had it all.
I honestly like the long Friday episodes.
Andrew Silvia seriously. They act like "oh no! 20m!?! We screwed up again!" And im like ... shit ... 2 hrs. 2 hrs would be just right.
You can fill your own bottle and seal it in the states the red tape arrives when it comes to purchasing it. Jim Beam figured out a way at their store front in Louisville. They "ship" it from the locked bottling room to the store via secure conveyor belt where you can purchase at the counter.
God I love donation days.
You can fill your own bottle from the cask at the Teeling Distillery in Dublin.
Daniel - It is commonly believed that the name Laphroaig is derived from the Norse "breid-vik", meaning broad bay. It seems that the name Laphroaig - the beautiful hollow by the broad bay - has Viking roots, although it could also be considered a Gaelic reference to an old place name.
Chris Lo seems to be a few different interpretations I found this “Lag Bhròdhaig, or the “hollow of broad bay.” “
Thanks Terry. I just did a quick google search and grabbed what came back from Laphroaig's own page. Their marketing team probably had a hand in rewriting things a bit anyways.
Chris Lo I suppose the English is the offspring of the Gaelic and the Gaelic is the descendent of the Norse/Viking
No, Scots and Irish Gaelic are Celtic languages so Old English is closer related to Old Norse as they're both Germanic languages.
Perfect5Recurve I mean the modern english Laphroaig is based off the Gaelic
I think you should totally promote the transparency of the reps, and incentivise them being upfront about being a rep.
Along with donation day, you could do a provided by a rep day, on like Monday or Tuesday or something.
If you give them a special day, they might be more inclined to do it that way.
That is assuming that this comes up that often.
Y'all still rock. I don't comment much anymore but I watch almost every one. Keep it up!
Well hot damn. Glad to see you again. Thank you and cheers.
Laphroaig is from the Middle French (14th to 17th centuries) and it translates to "the phroaig". You're welcome
For reference, I don't know about straight from the barrel, but you can fill your own bottle of Knob Creek Single Barrel at the Jim Beam Distillery. So it is doable but I know liquor laws vary from state to state and that may be where the issue lays on whether its legal or not in Texas.
BTW, after re-watching this episode, I'd have to say this quite possibly is the best episode the 2 of you have ever done. KUDOS and PROST!
Writers Tears is absolutely dangerously drinkable and one of my go-tos when having some whiskey with friends. I wonder if aging it longer would address Rex's and Daniel's qualm with i,t as I have often wondered if it can be more complex as well? That being said I still adore it. The GlenDronach sounds very interesting.
I found you guys like 2 days ago, and I've been bingewatching a whole lot of your vids. I love your content, and you have inspired me to get in to whisky again. After a weekend of heavy drinking only the smell of a whisky made me gag. Bought Monkey Shoulder and Four Roses Single Barrel today, and I have some Connemara and Highland Queen in my bar. Cheers guys! Love from Norway
That Glendronach CS is a stunner for sure, they make crazy good whisky, best sherry whisky that is really affordable.
Once you get production going you should make a release of sampler bottles of your whiskey in plastic glencairn shape bottles with a screw off top, that would be fantastic
Bottled my own Jameson Black Barrel Cask Strength at the distillery...so good
so i may have missed the explanation and if i have please just tag the episode, but if you store your bottles in the proper conditions (out of sunlight, ect), is there a noticeable difference over time between bottles with twist caps, corks, and synthetic corks?
you guys rock and keep up the great work!
What about if you have a rep episode once or twice a month?
I agree with Rex in regards to distillery/rep donation. They need to be honest, it should stay objective, treat them as any other other donation, don’t put them to the front of the line, no song, but absolutely accept them... because free whiskies.
Over mooch a mooch, great tactic !
I really want Port Charlotte but haven't been able to find it in stock near me. I did find Islay Barley on sale though!
Love the long videos, the fun never ends! Lol
The port Charlotte is a stunner. Look to bottle my own on trip to Islay in September.
I think you should make the tribe mobile with a trip to the Mecca ( Islay) do some video and tastings.
Just sayin!!!!
I much rather have a 30+ minute video with a little bit more attention to the whiskeys then rushing through it like this episode. And isn't the Glendronach Cask absolutely magnificent? I know!
Please review the Wild Fields Single Grain. I'm very curious what you guys think about it and its price has recently significantly dropped, which is good.
Daniel has OFFICALLY turned the mooch/not a mooch anymore rex was bitching that daniel was giving him too much whiskey too fast lol also love the channel and keep up the good work
Something in my gut is telling me that rep donation should go to Chad...not sure why I think that.
a classic episode, gentlemen
"Lag Bhròdhaig" (the hollow of Broadbay). The name may be related to a placename on the east coast of Islay, "Pròaig", again suggested as meaning "broad bay" - fresh off wiki
Donation bae, is when the vault only does donations ever.
I have never been here this early.... It feels so nice.
Is it just me or is the top shelf by the door over Rex's left shoulder tilting?
Thought: when a brand sends you a whiskey, you should, at a minimum, disclose it in the video. You guys are pretty honest in your reviews....you should be ok beyond that.
Westland in Seattle does that same "fill your own" thing.
I'll circle back someday
Come what may
To Machir Bay
I'll long no more
Skip the Loch Gorm
And linger on the shore
Very disappointed in Machir Bay. I would not purchase again. Too aggressive, charcoal smoke more than peaty.
Happy Scotch day!
so is it legal for distilleries to do like the guys mentioned and let people come in and purchase a bottle from a barrel?
I wish Dan didn't rush this one. It's a whiskey review channel, not a whiskey drinking channel
Port Charlotte is the shit. I can’t imagine cask strength. Omg
Great stuff
getting that far away happy drunk look the further through the week one gets. Fab channel!
Southern comfort just cause.
I live right near the brushlada ( horribly mispelled)
Bruichladdich Islay Barley needs an episode
Hey there! Great videos to watch when thirsty. I´ve been looking in your previous videos and couldn´t be able to find anyone about GLEN GRANT SINGLE MALT. Any comments about it? CHEERS and GREETZ from Monterrey MX.
Do you have any books you would recommend? Also I’m thinking of buying talisker storm, what do you think of it?
Song for anything donated by a brand rep should be "In Your Eyes". Because LLoyd Dobler said in his famous quote: "Quotes. Lloyd Dobler : I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed."
If you do a whiskey from a company rep, i think we would accept it if it was explicitly mentioned in the title and the video. Maybe a Sponsor Day?
Which Machir Bay is that? The CS? Everyone I've had has had a natural wood colored stopper, not that blue one.
What is the most expensive whiskey that you have in the vault and can we have a poor mans version of it during Rex week
Can we please go back a do a full episode on machir bay. It’s my new favorite whiskey and I can easily get it in Maryland from a bunch of stores so it’s not hard to find and at 50 dollars it’s still one of my top 5 whiskeys going up against jw blue and platinum highland park 18 and Jameson 12 year and it’s right up the with them all despite being 2/3rds to 1/4 of the price
Just looked up “Laphroaig” and the only definition listed on definitions.net was “serving a bottle of Laphroaig whisky. Ex: And when I am hungry, said MacK, bring me the salmons of Argyll smoked over the peat of the Hebrides and a glass of Laphroaig.” It doesn’t really answer the question, but I kind of love it anyway.
I just found this episode and reading the comments and as someone that has been to the laphroaig distillery 5 times now I find it absurd I can't find a single comment on the true meaning of the name to the distillery. Norse Gaelic English doesn't mean horse balls. It's the name of the loch/lake that they get there water from.
Laphroiag, a commonly suggested etymology includes the elements "lag" (Gaelic: hollow), "breid" (Norse: broad) and "vik" (Norse: bay), implying an original Gaelic form something like "Lag Bhròdhaig" (the hollow of Broadbay). Sàinte!
BenRiach 16 easy to drink whisky, smooth. 👍
Chad is sneeky. But not too sneeky. Love it! :D
Dunvilles is spectacular!
WHY ARE YOU RUSHING ME DANIEL???
Said no Mooch ever. He accepts, and he drinks.
Please try american barrel small batch bourbon. I'd like to get an honest review before buying
Welp. I finally had Stagg Jr. Today. I'm gonna waddle home cause that stuff left me high pitched.
Have you guys done Penderyn Welsh whiskey???
When filling in ex-sherry casks, what's the difference between Oloroso and PX? which is richer? How much does first fill vs refill affect the sherry note in the finished whiskey?
Someone posted a very revealing article here about sherry casks and how the distilleries of Scotland get and use them. It's not at all like bourbon barrels, it much more... complicated.
If I can find it I'll link it in this comment.
Here it is:
www.whiskynotes.be/sherry-casks-in-the-whisky-industry.pdf?pdf=sherry-casks
Jimmy Leg Thank you for that link. That was very informative.
Jimmy Leg much obliged
Nice
Okay, I have to disagree on the song for corporate donations - I suggest Styx' "Blue Collar Man". The problem I see is a rep from someone like Beam Suntory could back you up for months with all the stuff they have. The only fair thing would be to give most of it to Chad.
Was that a bell at 8:05 mark?
What is your guys’ thoughts about the scotch malt whiskey society? Worth a membership? Are their bottles special? Or a hoax? Thanks guys and love what you do
I really love them. But it's not cheap.
Whiskey Vault thanks for the reply! Good to know
Is there jim beam white label in that vault
Ok you Magnificent Bastards, I have a small problem with my Sunday tasting group with 3 neighbors. We can't agree on tasting order of a large array of scotches. We had 8 and 16yr laugavulin, 10, 12, 17, 21, 25 year glenfarclaus, balconies single malt, glenlivit nadura, Laphroig triple wood at 1 tasting. Some say youngest to oldest regaurdless of type. Some say light to peated, some say it doesn't matter. What is the better of the ways. These are all very small tastings so we don't over do it over a few hours of shooting the shit. We mix it up with different styles and brands every Sunday, but this one tasting created issues.
Great Video Somm and Mooch! I have a Whisk(e)y question . 🥃 Could a Scottish blend, feature Whisky from Ireland, America or Canada?
But be bottled in Scotland?
As for "what to do about Brands, Companies, Reps of such and such etc sending and asking for a review"
Place the Whiskey in the Vault and thank them for their Donation to the Vault to help the cause and Review it, but be honest about it's source, if you wish you can add it into Donation Day videos (i.e. we just got in something from the company that makes ....) -- in the Tech Industry the reviewers sometimes do get those pieces (like a High End Graphics Card) for review from the company I feel this is acceptable as long as the Tribe and those watching know what's up.
Is there any chance you all could try some David Nicholson Reserve? I keep getting told by my liquor store guy that it's a $35 bourbon that tastes like a $100+ bourbon, but I haven't heard anything about it. Thanks.
Donation day....yay
Hey guys, heads up. I brought the BenRiach 16 and GlenDronach Cask Strength.
Hot damn. They all got blended together when they were brought up, so I've had a hard time keeping track. The Van Name's left another dozen before they left as well.
Random thought. Love the fighting , stealing, drinking toast. But what ever happened to the legal side of crazy? Kinda miss the nostalgia....
Dear rex and the other guy....🤣
I think that there should be an awkward silence for rep donations
This is my favorite idea
Van Name is what happens when your family gets to Ellis Island and somebody got lazy trying to figure out a Dutch name
Hey,you my fellow whiskey loving friends I have discovered something. If you are in love with peat and smokey stuff, I suggest you to blend two whiskeys.
One part Talisker dark storm.
One part Ardbeg ten.
It is magnificent like us and tell me your experience.
Give it to Chad!!
Everybody knows that Laphroaig is French for "the frog." And when you drink some in the morning, it's "hair of the frog."
Hate to be that guy... but how can whiskey (a liquid) have the same texture of creme brûlée (a solid)?
Your mind associates tastes, textures, and smells with things it's familiar with. So although it neither tastes nor physically feels like creme brulee, your mind feels it.
Just keeping drinking and the states of matter become less and less relevant. ;)
I like this answer a lot more
On today's episode of Grumpy Old Men...
Wiki said the suggested meaning is "Broad Bay". Bunch of other stuff that other people already specified, so I'm not going to bother. ^_^
Song for when a rep sends you whiskey: Honesty by Billy Joel
How much is a barrel of whiskey running for? Ish factor.
Right now, MGP 1yr old whiskey is somewhere around $1k to $1,500 if you're a distillery sourcing.
And Rex, you're being rushed? I poured two of those for you before you peaced out without saying goodbye.
If you guys stay totally objective with rep donations it will be huge! Many whisk(e)y review channels do not. Sometimes I don’t think it’s fair to the reviewer to do this. I have seen videos where I can see the reviewer is torn or is padding their review out of obligation. That just makes me write off the review.
🥃
It goes into Donations Day and assessed accordingly :)
To be fair Rex, you did tell Daniel to no have full reviews on things.😂
Rex Valjean 3:33
You could become like the reviewer in Ratatouille. Everybody cowers at the mention of his name. The skinniest food critic to ever walk the earth. He shuts down restaurants with a simple article in a newspaper. Only to find that he loves a peasants dish. Can’t tell I have kids can you.😉
Do fireball next
What cheese does Rex like with his whine? A fine Gorgonzola or perhaps a nice Stinking Bishop?
Eric Schwab maybe that crazy ass Sicilian Casu Marzu cheese? He seems like a crazy f'er lol
“80 seconds. On your March”? Am I wrong? All these years I thought it was “on your mark”. Daniel, I am willing to change my ways on National Scotch Day.
Oh my god, you are definitely lucky bastards, cheers 🥃
