I know, the episode is shorter than usual. I edit differently than Chad and cut everything that seems slow, redundant or flat. At the end of the edit, I looked at the runtime and it was only 6 minutes! Sorry Tribe, have a good Thanksgiving.
Literally one of my favorite even semi-obtainable bottles I've had. Absolutely love this stuff, this time of year in Michigan is the perfect time and place for this stuff! Thanks gents!
I bought one of these over the summer... I'm excited to try it with those kinda of reactions... Going to open it at Midwinter.. Cause I'm a nerd like that...
The toast for Vlad was pure class, Gentleman. Thank you for bringing a balance of shenanigans and sobriety. This is a big part of why I never miss an episode.
Bravo Rex and Daniel for the cheers to welcome and also say goodbye to whiskey tribe members family a wonderful heart felt touch which just makes this Chanel even better
I would just like to say, I've been drinking the same damn glass of Westland Peated Single Malt for about an hour and a half, and I've been binge-watching Vault episodes for a bit over two while I work on a paper, and this is the first episode where I actually noticed the ad... I'll watch a 3-minute ad for all I care so you guys get enough to keep Rex on. Don't let him have to mooch from the unemployment line! Love you guys.
Picked up this year’s bottling of this. It’s wonderful. For me, it starts out with a apple/plum sweetness and then starts to fade and then the rye, cinnamon, nutmeg spice erupts in your mouth with the high proof burn and finishes with a little more sweet apple aftertaste.
Acquired a bottle of Midwinter’s Dram this month and it has become my favorite Rye (so sorry, Whistlepig). I occasionally get a dill pickle note (that I enjoy), but not always. Quick question: What whiskey pairs best with traditional American Thanksgiving food?
I was able to get a bottle of this in 2019 and had to come back to this video to check if I was crazy for getting the pickle notes. Glad I'm not the only one! I Enjoyed this whiskey very much.
My favorite episode of recent episodes! To the point, classy toasts to welcome a new Magnificent Bastard into the fold with a young, quality American brand, and farewell a loved one to the Great Beyond with well crafted spirit of old stock from whisky's homeland. Plus that High West cork looked ENORMOUS in Daniel's wee hand.
Absolutely love this whiskey! It’s perfect for the holidays and sharing with friends and family. Hope this season finds you spending time with those you love!
I've seen this bottle in SoCal. Really wondered if it was worth the price. Thanks guys, I too enjoy the Rye! AND, I don't mind the shorter videos on occasion, let's me get info quickly. Cheers to both of you.
Hey guys a big fan of the channel, been watching for about 2 months and I am trying as much bourbon and scotch as I can. A Personal Favorite of mine is the Willet Pot Still Reserve, don’t think you guys have reviewed it. My second go to would be Eagle Rare. Keep up the great work guys. Rex no one likes a mooch. Stay classy San Diego
Hey guys I have a question. The company I work for has an annual salmon dinner and I thought it would be a great idea to have a whisky to go with the salmon. What's a good, beginner fiendly (I dont want to scare my coworkers away from whisky) whisky, that goes well with salmon? Thanks for your help
Ooohh.. good one. I'm thinking maybe an Islay Scotch? Some subtle smoky character with the briny, fatty salmon? I like the sound of that! But then again...adventurous for newcomers. But then again again, I know very little about whisk(e)y
Love this new format. I don't even read the title. Notification pops up with your logo, I click it and enjoy. With that said, I've never tried an american whiskey. What's THAT suggestion for a guy who's stubbornly stuck to scotch all this time, without making me poor in the process?
OH MY DEAR GOD! That is my absolute favorite whisky of ALL time! Ever! EVER! My bottle was unfortunately destroyed in a moving accident. We were moving and I had it in a container that shifted during the drive. The bottle got too hot, the cork popped, and all of my beautiful Midwinters was split all over my Navy memorabilia. It was a horrible loss that I still morn months later......I did save the bottle and I'm using it for my bourbon/American infinity bottle....I still want my Midwinters and I can't ever find it here.
I bought a bottle the other day and it had some sort of synthetic cork? It was some type of soft rubber or foam. Have you come across other bottles that use something like this? Could it solve some of the problems of regular corks like them drying out or mold? Or is it just cheaper and creating noe problems?
weren't alluding to a specific competitor. just the fact that a lot of distilleries are ready, able and willing to sell their barrels these days. so yah, lots of options.
OOooooo I've been waiting for this to show up on the Vault! I have a bottle from last year's run that I'm slowly sipping away at. I was going to take an Ardbeg to Thanksgiving Dinner but now I'm not so sure. THIS may be the winner now. It's a fantastic holiday whiskey!
As I was watching this instead of scrambaling to clean my apartment before family arrives... I noticed something. There has been both a bourbon and Irish top ten list... but I didn't see a top ten Scotch when I looked for that specifically. Granted the beginner whiskies and best for your buck videos are a bit scotch heavy, but I know both Daniel and Rex would certainly enjoy a tribe vote on top ten scotch. ;)
Can anyone tell me where the Jameson Black Barrel video is? I've been searching everywhere. I found a video that said they were going to give it its own video but so far no luck finding the black barrel review. Please help me!!!
@Dirt 117 I'm saying acts 1-5 didn't have any of their own stuff in it. There is an indefinite difference between 6 and the previous acts. Dunno where you got %40 from, but act 6 is still very delicous. It's just not my favorite release of MWND.
@Dirt 117 Um dirt, let's bring it down a little. We're men and women of high character and honour here at the vault. Please save your profanity for those deserving of it, Danny and Rex.
Hello guys. So you don’t look much better after the break. Maybe you’re just old and that’s what you look like now. Anyway I just got a Highland Park Einar bottle and I was wondering if you could do a review of it? I was surprised to find very little (and unhelpful) reviews of it anywhere! By the way I’m a fan of you from Egypt! Bet you didn’t expect to have fans here. Anyway you guys rock! Sláinte!
Man, I'm no Glenfiddich fanboy, but someone needs to get these guys a nicer bottle if the 15yo is the most expensive they've got. (I would but I'm broke and selfish.)
You guys actually reviewed this back in August. But considering it was your first episode after the grand opening, I can't say I blame you if you didn't remember it XD Since it's Thanksgiving, I'll just be grateful we get an episode today at all. I will say though, it's interesting comparing your tasting notes from 3 months ago to this episode and seeing what changed or didn't change for you, like Rex not getting much past the main rye note. Now cheers to you and yours, you MBs, and have a happy Thanksgiving :)
I feel like it was a wasted opportunity to not try The midwinter next to the Spice Tree. Rex has failed us as a mooch. Bring back the bag pipe intro, please.
@@JimmyLeg the boom is added when it's the actual first... For there are many firsts.. Mere seconds apart.. But if I get that true first.. I boom. Allow me my excitement damn it
Not a fan of Rex's editing on this one. It felt like I was watching a Whiskey Vault video with an impatient 6-year-old pressing the fast forward button. In particular, during Daniel explaining MGP sourcing. Why are they not dominant anymore? I have no clue. I'd appreciate toning down the ADD a touch.
You guys were probably too hungover to remember, but Midwinter Nights Dram was the first review you did after the distillery opening. Not complaining as it is one of my favorites. m.ua-cam.com/video/WjTp27HDpI8/v-deo.html
I like the show. Truly I do, but am troubled a bit by the prominent solicitation for 1) money and 2) whisky in these videos. In addition to your jobs, you’re collecting $20,000 plus per month in Patreon donations and still requesting and accepting handouts from viewers. Obviously people are free to donate their money where they’d like, but it seems excessive. When the show started, you surely couldn’t have seen it getting this popular and making a quarter million a year in donations. Instead of giving back to the fans, it just seems like the more popular you get, the more you ask of the people that got you in this comfortable position.
Did I miss something? They're actually trying to get people to get together and share the whisky with each other and stop sending it in to them. People send it in because they want to see these two nipple-heads review it, for some reason. The Patreon money goes to the distillery which we as a group are all involved in. That's why we donated. We have a say in how it's run. Of course, this could all be a big lie, the distillery is just on a Hollywood sound stage, and they're off spending the money on meth and Teslas. I do think that is unlikely however. Sorry, but I think you're waaay off here.
The donations are totally separate from the tribe/distillery. The donations are to the vault at the school. This channel exists at the grace of the non profit school. The donated whisky’s are reviewed for the enjoyment of the viewers and used in the vault for their educational benefits. Rex and Daniel have no financial interest in anything donated to the vault.
I know, the episode is shorter than usual. I edit differently than Chad and cut everything that seems slow, redundant or flat. At the end of the edit, I looked at the runtime and it was only 6 minutes! Sorry Tribe, have a good Thanksgiving.
Unacceptable. Stop all your holiday shenanigans and do it over.. 😝
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
It's only Thanksgiving! Not like you deserve quality family time or anything
It's not the length that matters it's the experience
Short and sweet is nice on a busy holiday.
Just don't ever do it again.
Ever.
Thank you, means more than you think ...
To Vlad! Cheers!
To Vlad!
Literally one of my favorite even semi-obtainable bottles I've had. Absolutely love this stuff, this time of year in Michigan is the perfect time and place for this stuff! Thanks gents!
I bought one of these over the summer... I'm excited to try it with those kinda of reactions... Going to open it at Midwinter.. Cause I'm a nerd like that...
#SolsticeWhisk(e)y
That's awesome
Lol that sounds like something I would do. 🕵️♀️
It’s really a perfect holiday whiskey to enjoy with family and friends
The toast for Vlad was pure class, Gentleman. Thank you for bringing a balance of shenanigans and sobriety. This is a big part of why I never miss an episode.
Bravo Rex and Daniel for the cheers to welcome and also say goodbye to whiskey tribe members family a wonderful heart felt touch which just makes this Chanel even better
Had this a couple times at a local restaurant, might be the best blended rye I’ve ever had. Just excellent whiskey.
I would just like to say, I've been drinking the same damn glass of Westland Peated Single Malt for about an hour and a half, and I've been binge-watching Vault episodes for a bit over two while I work on a paper, and this is the first episode where I actually noticed the ad... I'll watch a 3-minute ad for all I care so you guys get enough to keep Rex on. Don't let him have to mooch from the unemployment line! Love you guys.
High West Double Rye is one of my all time favorites. I have to try to find this one
One of my very very favorite yearly releases. Thanks for all the entertainment gentlemen!
Picked up this year’s bottling of this. It’s wonderful. For me, it starts out with a apple/plum sweetness and then starts to fade and then the rye, cinnamon, nutmeg spice erupts in your mouth with the high proof burn and finishes with a little more sweet apple aftertaste.
I like the short, concise video. The last 2 minutes was great.
Happy Thanksgiving to you both, from all of us.
The Spirit Monk[e]y concurs.

One of my favorite videos
I am also considering this bottle. I found one local around $100. I have a Willet 4 Year, how did it compare?
One of my top 5 ryes ever
You should try dimple pinch. I'd really like to hear what you guys think of it
Hey guys I have a question.
The company I work for has an annual salmon dinner and I thought it would be a great idea to have a whisky to go with the salmon. What's a good, beginner fiendly (I dont want to scare my coworkers away from whisky) whisky, that goes well with salmon?

Short episode, I didn't notice.
Toasting both, the beginning of life and the end of life in the same episode...
I noticed.
Y'all need to try some Blaum Bros, sweet sweet MGP goodness! Their Knotter bourbon is ridiculously good, and they make a great rye as well
Was expecting something from wild turkey
HaPpY ThAnKsGiViNg!
happy normal day to the rest of the world

I was lucky enough to find a bottle. It’s now my fav. So complex
Enjoyed that episode even more than usual. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Safe travels!
Have you guys ever tried Coleraine Irish whiskey? It's a pretty budget bottle, like 20$. If you don't have it, I'll happily donate one.
What is your favorite ACT that you have had so far? I have only had 4, 5 & 6
FINALLY caught an episode as soon as the notification came in.
Awesome video. The two toasts were very moving!
Hey guys... Could you review Oban Little Bay please?
I’m on the fence about getting this. Final stage in the port barrels isn’t my favorite 😬😬
It’s increíble...
Ya shoulda revisited the wild turkey! Hope your enjoying a blessed day with your families
I bought a bottle the other day and it had some sort of synthetic cork? It was some type of soft rubber or foam. Have you come across other bottles that use something like this? Could it solve some of the problems of regular corks like them drying out or mold? Or is it just cheaper and creating noe problems?
I'm a huge fan of synthetic corks. Eliminates all the problems of potential cork rot, and often keeps leaking corks tops from being a problem
i enjoy the surprise bottle review; I say bring back this challenge again! makes it a bit more challenging to dissect.
You teased! What is the new competitor to MGP?
weren't alluding to a specific competitor. just the fact that a lot of distilleries are ready, able and willing to sell their barrels these days. so yah, lots of options.
Barton and Heaven Hill are both growing significantly when it comes to sourcing.
can you review the Mackillop's they have a few nice bottles.
You should go to one of those custom sock websites and get your faces on the socks for the bottles.
OOooooo I've been waiting for this to show up on the Vault! I have a bottle from last year's run that I'm slowly sipping away at. I was going to take an Ardbeg to Thanksgiving Dinner but now I'm not so sure. THIS may be the winner now. It's a fantastic holiday whiskey!
I love you guys and at the end you made it really real. Happy Thanksgiving.
Which act and scene?
I got my hands on one for 199, haven't tried it yet.
Love High West
As I was watching this instead of scrambaling to clean my apartment before family arrives... I noticed something. There has been both a bourbon and Irish top ten list... but I didn't see a top ten Scotch when I looked for that specifically. Granted the beginner whiskies and best for your buck videos are a bit scotch heavy, but I know both Daniel and Rex would certainly enjoy a tribe vote on top ten scotch. ;)
Just had a Balvenie 14 for a nightcap. Happy Thanksgiving!
High West is another of my favorites!
I love the nerding out on all the things
Happy Thanksgiving all! Cheers! 🥃
Can anyone tell me where the Jameson Black Barrel video is? I've been searching everywhere. I found a video that said they were going to give it its own video but so far no luck finding the black barrel review. Please help me!!!
And, could you guys have another livestream soon?
10/10 Magnificent Bastard visual theme improvement.
The Whisky Vault looks every whisk(e)y lovers dream bar and every episode makes me wish Norway had a better selection.
I really like that you've taken time in here to honor the fallen and newly arrived. Stay magnificent you bastards!
This is the best named whiskey, maybe ever.
Happy Thanksgiving you Magnificent Bastards.
I miss all the breathing space of the usual videos! When am I supposed to sip my whisky dammit!
This is act 6, the fist release to use their own distillate. Personally I highly prefer the previous acts, although act 6 is still delicious.
@Dirt 117 I'm saying acts 1-5 didn't have any of their own stuff in it. There is an indefinite difference between 6 and the previous acts. Dunno where you got %40 from, but act 6 is still very delicous. It's just not my favorite release of MWND.
@Dirt 117 Um dirt, let's bring it down a little.
We're men and women of high character and honour here at the vault.
Please save your profanity for those deserving of it, Danny and Rex.
Happy Thanksgiving you magnificent bastards !
Have you heard about Glyph?
Hello guys. So you don’t look much better after the break. Maybe you’re just old and that’s what you look like now.
Anyway I just got a Highland Park Einar bottle and I was wondering if you could do a review of it? I was surprised to find very little (and unhelpful) reviews of it anywhere!
By the way I’m a fan of you from Egypt! Bet you didn’t expect to have fans here. Anyway you guys rock!
Sláinte!
I'm looking for tips to get into whisk(e)y
this is a really good place to start. ua-cam.com/video/PoeIPrIXUOw/v-deo.html
Thank you good sir.
How do I measure whiskey? Help.
That was a nice quicky!
Iron that shirt Rex!
I love you guys
Glenfiddich 15 to all on this Happy Thanksgiving day
How in the world could I find a bottle of this in ohio; particularly at a reasonable price.
Happy Turkey-Day Boop to all!
The Spirit Monk[e]y is thankful for good _whisk[e]y_ and good _people_ . The Spirit Monk[e]y wishes both upon you all.
Man, I'm no Glenfiddich fanboy, but someone needs to get these guys a nicer bottle if the 15yo is the most expensive they've got. (I would but I'm broke and selfish.)
Am I the only one who winds up clinking their glass on the screen every episode? To the parting of a loved one and the gaining of another!
Nicely Done Guys 👊 🇺🇲🦍 🤘

Now cheers to you and yours, you MBs, and have a happy Thanksgiving :)
That earlier review was the Act 5 Scene 5 which did not have any of their own High West mash.
Oh, okay, thanks for clarifying! Though now I wish that they had done a comparison between the Acts
I feel like it was a wasted opportunity to not try The midwinter next to the Spice Tree. Rex has failed us as a mooch. Bring back the bag pipe intro, please.
Thirst
1st!! Boom!
ZIRPOOOOLLLLLLIIIIIIIIII
There can be only one...
Magnificent. The Spirit Monk[e]y is humbled.
I'm not sure the "Boom!" is required young lady.
@@JimmyLeg the boom is added when it's the actual first... For there are many firsts.. Mere seconds apart.. But if I get that true first.. I boom.
Allow me my excitement damn it
I feel like this was an episode of toasts that fits not better with thanksgiving
I feel I'm outta my league in the race to first... lol
me too... and i posted the video! 😅
The power of Peat!!!
Not a fan of Rex's editing on this one. It felt like I was watching a Whiskey Vault video with an impatient 6-year-old pressing the fast forward button. In particular, during Daniel explaining MGP sourcing. Why are they not dominant anymore? I have no clue. I'd appreciate toning down the ADD a touch.
"Well it's not Bulleit"
50th
You both are my daddy.
The other day a psychic midget escaped from prison. The police warned us that there was a small medium at large.
You guys were probably too hungover to remember, but Midwinter Nights Dram was the first review you did after the distillery opening. Not complaining as it is one of my favorites.
m.ua-cam.com/video/WjTp27HDpI8/v-deo.html
4:54........... nothing from Rex...... haha
Where the hell is the dolphin fart!!!!
1st
I spent 90$ on a bottle....and it's mgp. I want my money back. Fuck mgp
^^v
Short hair suits Rex better. I think the beard should go away Rex. You look like you are trying too hard to be like Daniel with that facial hair. Lol.
