** 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?

Rex, I love how you can toss in a such a subtly condescending comment and it almost goes unnoticed. "you can pull one off every once in a while." Genius.
I would happily work for whiskey, a cot in the corner and egg rolls. When do I start?
The dividing line is strong because Red Vines are good, and Twizzlers are what you eat if and when you can't find Red Vines!
I’ve been working my way through your videos and great content. You guys should do a video where you compare blended scotches with single malt and see which one is better.
Awesome, I just happened to be drinking Teeling single malt, and then I saw this. I'm synchronised!!!
Great review guys! 👌.
I did a review the other day on The Brabazon 02 Port Cask - interesting expression from Teeling. Cheers from South Africa 🥃
Hey Daniel & Rex. Question, are these videos and the biscuits monetised? (I hope they are!) I never see any ads - is there a reason for that? 🤔
Hello from an avid fan and fellow Austinite! I just turned 21 yesterday and began my whiskey journey at a local restaurant you may be familiar with called Jack Allen's kitchen. They only serve local Texan food and drinks, so I ended up going with a Balcones Baby Blue young bourbon as per your recommendation to start with something more friendly than a smokey scotch style whisky. I know my palate is severely underdeveloped but just for fun I tried to give it some tasting notes.
Nose - wow that's sweet
Palate - Holy shit that's sugar water. maybe some banana and vanilla but hot damn
Finish - I think i just gargled liquid jolly ranchers. Where's the nearest CVS? I need a toothbrush
I was delighted to come home, find your vault episode where you tasted it, and discover I wasn't far off the mark at all! I can't wait to get my hands on something a little bit more nuanced. I'm thinking of picking up a bottle of monkey shoulder or hibiki harmony soon.
Time for a question! This is pretty specific to the Austin area, but where do y'all prefer to shop for whiskey? I.E. what retailer has the best combination of price and selection? Feel free to stick to national chains so it's more applicable to those who don't live here.
Always excited to see a new video pop up each morning, and I'm looking forward to visiting the distillery as soon as it's up and running.
My closest liquor store did not have the Hibiki Harmony unfortunately, so I ended up with a bottle of Monkey shoulder. Even after my first smell and sip I realized why people love whiskey so much. The difference between this and the Baby Blue is staggering, and from the nose to the finish it takes you on a journey. I was certainly not expecting to see that much of a difference not only between the two whiskeys but even between the nose and the palate of the monkey shoulder. I can't quite identify what i'm tasting on the tip of the tongue when I first take a sip, but whatever it is I love it. The dominant smell and flavor for me is vanilla, with undertones of orange and the wood I remember chopping for campfires as a kid. The finish is so smooth it almost wafts away. Just this bottle has gotten me excited to branch out and experience the whole range of flavors possible in the whiskey world.
This is one of my favorites. A cool note about Chateau Montelena that was not in the video is that the winery is famous for having one of the winning wines at the "Judgement of Paris," in 1976, which was the first time that California wines were internationally recognized as being better than wines from France.
Hey you MB's! Love the content. Every day after work I pour a glass of whiskey and watch your newest upload. Question.....can the taste of the whiskey change as the level of juice inside the bottle gets lower? Sometimes I feel like mine does....but maybe I'm imagining that. Love the vids!!
It definitely can! It's usually not dramatic if it happens over months, but if you wait years, it can be very noticeable.
Have you reviewed Lord Calvert? If not, can you? (and or Black velvet)...
I have a question regarding the 3rd gravitating body concept. Does this concept apply to blending as well? To create a magic and interesting blend, can you do that, with two cohesive malts and add a third that doesn't belong, but fits? Does it take at least three different styles, to create a unique blend, or are two enough? I'd imagine if you blend aberlour with laphroaig you can tell the two from each other, but if you add a dash of Talisker (my favorite distillery) you'd blur the lines between the two originals, and create new depths in the blend? Hope you can follow the idea!
It absolutely does! And definitely create that blend. it sounds amazing.
Sitting on the porch watching the rain and sipping away. I was wondering if there are foods that help to enhance the flavor profiles? As in, would a chocolate bar or an apple or some other snack add girth to a drink?
I appriciate the attempt to pronounce Meath. You were really close - its more like "Me" "The", where the 'e' in "The" is soft, i.e not "the" pronounced 'thee'. When said quickly as one word it Meath with a soft ending (similar to 'with'). Few quick facts about Meath;
It is a mainly suburban and rural county in Ireland, which often serves as a communter towns for people working in Dublin, less than an hours drive away. It is also home to The Hill of Tara, the historical location of the King (Rí - pronounced 'Ree') of Celtic Ireland and the home of Newgrange, a neolithic stone tomb famous for its 'chamber of lights' on the winter solstace and which predates the Egyptian pyramids (built around 3200 BC)
Very cool. Thanks for this history!
Whiskey Vault least i can do when you're making amazing content like this. I love all the videos and look forward to watching new videos every day
What was the other teeling brabazon that you had with the other teeling samples a while back, that you enjoyed so much? Wasn't it exactly the same one you didn't enjoy as much here?
5th .... love all the teeling I have tried BTW
Can you review Brabazon Series 02? It's amazing!
Is there a similar smoky/peat flavor profile in a bourbon or American whiskey out there?
You guys seemed to like the Brabazon more when y’all did the trio tasting with the Teeling a few months ago. I’ve had the same experience with whistlepig thought it was spectacular one night then good not great about a week later. Does that happen to y’all a lot?
It happens all the time. Context is so important.
Hey Rex Redbreast or Teeling?! I’m hooked on Redbreast at the moment gonna try Teeling next. Which do you prefer?
As a lifelong socal resident I can attest to the love of red vines over the abomination twizzlers. Another great video! Quick question (sorry if it's been done) but how long is Daniel going to be content as a level 3 whisky som? 2 more levels man get on it!
How long does an open whiskey last? I've heard that you shouldn't keep it more than a few months once open but with all those whiskeys on the wall that has to be false. What is a rule of thumb yall suggest?
Yeah, it's unavoidable. We wrap bottle tops in perafilm to try to keep the evaporation to a minimum.
how long does whiskey last after opening it?
If you drink a bottle in less than 3 months, you have nothing to worry about. A mostly full bottle will will last you years. half full at least a year. less than 1/4 and you have a few months before the evaporation becomes a problem.
Does Costco have wagyu? i know some HEBs do
Have you guys tried out the Glenfiddich experimental series at all? I had the IPA and was fairly disappointed, only because I was expecting more Hops in the taste. Other than that it was decent bottle.
What controls the alcohol level in whisky during the distillation and aging process? How do they get the bottles to the desired percentages?
distillation is actually the process of evaporating alcohol out of a "beer" or low ABV wash. As you heat it up, alcohol evaporates before water, goes through a cooling tube, and condenses/collects in a container. it comes off the still high 80's ABV and drops over time as you strip the alcohol off finally ending somewhere in the 20's.
The cuts are made on this spirit to collect the best parts, average abv is determined and water added before it goes into the barrel as needed to proof it down. After it's aged, you can add water again to get the taste where you want it before you bottle it.
Whiskey Vault awesome, thanks!
Love it as always, however more ball busting is always appreciated
Teeling single malt is my go to whiskey when i'm relaxing. The only problem with it is, the bottle doesn't last long enough.
Bring back Rex month!
I'm a book and video editor (and graphic designer) and my name is actually Chad, are you sure there are no extra job opportunities at the vault?
Did you also review a Brabazon on one of those triple review videos? Seem to remember that. May have even been the one that was like 27 yrs old.
We did!
Daniel is an exceptional Dickens boss.
After tasting the Barbazon I kept for myself, I agree. I love Teeling, and I think the Barbazon is great example of their experimental approach. But I gotta say - it's nowhere near the 1915 & 1916 we tasted!
And this episode of Whiskey Vault is brought to you by Costco, for the best meat.
Fun videos guys. Keep it up. Cheers!
What is the Vaults top 3 Compass Box releases? There are so many awesome releases and not enough money to buy them all!!! I luv No Name, lost blend and spice tree extravaganza and will pour This is not a Luxury Whisky on special occasions. I have bottles of phenomenology and flaming hearts that I have yet to open because I want to get through my open bottles. Should I say screw it and open them all???
Rex Month! YES! Do it!
I’m actually going to a “masterclass event” in Teeling next Wednesday. Here’s the blurb:
“Join us for the first in our “Spirit of Dublin” Sessions, an educational series of events where we take an afterhours tour with our Master Distiller Alex Chasko, and look at some new innovations and products coming down the production line here at the Teeling Whiskey Distillery”
Hopefully I get to try the Brabazon during the tour or in their bar after.
This sounds amazing!
Whiskey Vault I’ll send you off an email next week (if I remember) with any interesting stuff I taste, see and hear. If you want?
Also I can be your spy and ask the master distiller and his team any questions if you’d like. Just reply to this with them if you want.
Anything you learn would be cool. definitely send the email.
Whiskey Vault The event got postponed to this Wednesday cause there was a blizzard last week, they now had to cancel it because most people can’t attend the re-fixed unfortunately :(
Please finish that bottle of ledaig behind Daniel.
Hold it! "Split lip from a fight." Do tell! You really glossed over that one! Was it over a damsel in distress? Or Rex and whiskey?
Someone put ice in his Lagavulin and said "Here ya go, Dan." Nobody really knows what happened next. But they saw The Somme walk out of a smoking crater complaining about a split lip.The bartender was never seen again.
I'll be the guard (dog) outside the whiskey vault..... drams as payment :D
I wanna give you guys a tv spot
This episode brought to you by COSTCO :)
I love it. Tri Tip California.
With Santa Maria seasoning!
Whiskey Vault ah yes Susie Q seasoning on tri tip is the best. Need a bottle?
I just got one from my in-laws last month. Thanks for the offer! :-)
Whiskey Vault it is the best I moved to Oxnard 1-2 miles away from Ventura and they don’t sell it here so when I go back to visit my mom I have to get a bottle or 2.
Literally notified and immediately 3rd
Rex: Come to think about it, I don't get paid....*immediate mooch regret*
This seems like the right place to ask so highland and lowland scotch recommendations anyone? I'm looking to try some new stuff so no need to consider my personal taste I'm just looking for peoples opinions of their favourites. As for price preferably around £30 (I live in the UK so things priced in the area of Laphroaig 10 year).
Guys, I may have found something here... last night I mooched a few skittles off of my 5yr old daughter while sippin’ some whiskey. It was awesome.
I’d like to know if I was blinded by the tasty drink, or if I’m on to something. For the record, i tried it with both Glenlivet 15 and Bulleit Rye.
Enjoy
Daniel???? Fight???? oh please give me all the details
Adam O'Gara There's a book, it's
called The Hobbit, check it out
bahahaha
I would reach a bottle with a shoe or belt. I would succeed in getting a bottle some how.
How about a bottle that embodies the spirit of the Whisky Mooch? They could just bottle whatever and sell it half-full...
Hey guys how about trying age 10 year old rum to a 10 year old whiskey
So you were fighting. Was it for a friend?
of course!
Where is the Mooch Necklace? Bring out the MOOCH!
Does Rex have a real job ? Or is it just mooching whisky?
He's doing at least 2 full time jobs in addition to these videos.
only Daniel could go from Teeling to the cuts of meat at costco
Considering Daniel is doing the equivalent of 5 full time jobs, maybe they should hire more people. Just saying.
rex makes this show
Hey Rex. Could we get a "Daniel" in your Dark Mooch voice? I am having withdrawal from Rex Week.
For the love of God, please put that last 1/2 oz of Ledaig out of its misery. Many members of the tribe are losing their minds!!!! Its right there! Over Daniel's right shoulder!!! ARG!!
Whistlepig trifecta
This episode looked like a green screen to me...
Daniel's lip got busted by schmiegel for not giving up the ring
#chadweek
My wife swears by Costco meat. And I'm too lazy to turn that into an innuendo joke.
$500/hour for drinking Whiskey and making short jokes is almost as good a scam as .... nothing. There is no better scam!
but did you fight for a friend when you split you lip?
of course!
Ledaiggggg!
Jameson 12-year Distillery Reserve
Daniel, did you actually get in a fight? I mean, I don't know your exact age, but given the coloring of your beard and that your forehead extends to an afthead, I'm fairly comfortable saying you're too old to be gettin' into fights in the middle of the week.
too true. Can't be avoided at times.
Rex should get paid with another #Rexweek, I mean since he is forced to carry the show pro bono. Cheers.
"Couple of middle-aged white guys starting a distillery." Sound a lot like the guys up in Fort Worth who started Firestone & Robertson who make the friendly TX blended whiskey and bourbon. You guys could do worse for an example to follow.
This new information MAY call into question Rex's Mooch level. If his job is doing the videos and his payment is whisky, all this mooching on video is actually just his payday?
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Drink that Ledaig!
How long can it last......
Bring back Rex week the shows have to much story time from the we little bald man
8th 😰
First
So Rex isn't a Mooch he is actually working for his whisky. Minus INFINITY mooch rating. You sir are back to average Mooch, no longer a master. Work for your whisky do those reviews.
If your hiring i will work as your whiskey book keeper. i will work for meager drams and promise to do a good job. i promise not to steal any bottles..... only borrow for educational proposes.i will also keep a count of all the glasses that Rex has in his office and send him numerous hateful emails to return them to the vault cleaned dried and demand a tax with reoccurring interest of whiskey drams to replenish his moochyness. please hire me i will sleep in the corner of the vault.
4th! Hahahaha
