** 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?

WE NEED A BUNNAH 12 EP DAMMIT
agreed
Yeah!
still need one, all I see are comparisons to bunnah 12 lol, just bought some this weekend and it's oh so yummy
Bring on that damn Bunnahabhain 12 episode
by god give it to us pls!
Is it just me who has only really tried 3 or 4 whiskys but still finds everything this channel is waaaaaaay tooo interesting?
This is a great segment. I love Bunnahabhain so much. A good fair share is their dedication to craft. Mentioning on labels no coloring and unchill filtering. Plus their dedication to 46.3% minimum. True craft whiskey.
My friend David had is ID stolen the other day, so now we just call him Dav.
haha this is a good one!
That was so stupid. But it made me laugh out loud which is quite the feat so props to you good sir
ha ha haha hahahaha hahahahahahaahah hahahahahahahahahahahahah
I read it and just thought "Well that sucks" then in realizing what I read can't decide if its a dad joke or just real life kicking some guy in the balls with a every loving dad joke.
I've been binge watching your videos for a couple of weeks. It is lovely to watch Rex grow as a human being. It gives me hope. (Realizing that this video is over 2 years old.)
Bunnahabhain has, since my first taste, been my favourite Scotch. It has everything. Spot on review!
I got a bottle of Bunnahabhain 12 for Christmas last year. Before that the most complex whiskys I'd had were Penderyn, Glenfiddich 12 and Laphroig 10 year old. I usually like to make a really nice expensive whisky last me a good while... but I enjoyed the Bunnahabhain 12 so much. It was gone over the course of about 4 separate nights. Easily my favourite whisky to date.
3 Whisky`s that are advanced Whiksy`s in my opinion:
1. Ardbeg Dark Cove (Ardbeg Uigeadail as a cheaper more accessible alternative):
It is a perfect marriage of peat and sherry. I tasted the 55% alc Version that wasnt distributed if i am right and it makes things even more dramatic then the 46,5% version that hit the market
2. Glenfarclas 25
I know what you are thinking "That dude doesnt have any clue, because Glenfarclas is a sweet and friendly Highland.", but hear me out! In my opinion Glenfarclas 25 offers a nuanced changing experience. It changes dramatically within the first 10 minutes in the glass and i can smell and taste different notes with each try...but i think a newcomer to the whisky club would mistake that whisky for a simple Speyside Whisky.
3. Lagavulin 16:
Of course there are some parallels between the Lagavulin 16 and the Ardbeg Dark Cove...both have a lot of peat and also sherry casks...but in my opinion Lagavulin 16 has less sherry and a different kind of peat smoke. In my opinion is the main aspect about Lagavulin 16 that newcomer wouldnt understand the mix between charcoal flavor, campfire and that slightly salty touch with a significant sweetness. I am from Germany and for me the first picture in my head is Schwarzwälder Schinken (cured and smoked ham) with a touch of honey and orange.
PS: I think you didnt review the Glenfarclas 25 yet...you should do that.
Keep "Magnificent Bastard" but say it in the accent of where the Whiskey is from.
This is awesome.
If they can trill their Rs it'll come out great in Scottish.
Finally, part of the "All Caught Up Crowd" Since I have watched them all, that should say enough of the entertainment value.
Story time.
Coming from an early time, that was all about The Jack Danial's and Bacardi 151 and just getting mashed I had sworn off whisky for a long long time. Now that I'm a hella Lot OLDER...and having explored the world of Fantastic Ales and craft beer for a long time, the kids grown and out of the house with money in my pocket again, I told the wife that I was going to start enjoying the finer things in life, such as Scotch Whisky. She cringed but said ok.
Not having done much reading about Scotch, or ever drinking a drop of it, I decided I would begin my quest at the Liquor store as I stared at the bottles.
One said apples and fruit notes, one said caramel and toffee... yadda yadda....
Then mine eyes spied "the most richly flavored of all scotch whiskys"
Laphroaig Aged 18 Years. My eye twinkled as if your going to try a Single Malt Scotch, it may as well have a little age on it right? Boom, Purchased drove home and cracked that puppy open. (sure you know what happens next.)
Bonfire! WTF? Smoke WTF? OMG OMG what did I just buy. I think I just wasted a $120. Akkkkkk FUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKK MEEEEEEE! I tasted that peat all the next day. Kind of found it a bit interesting then. That Peat stayed on my mind ALL DAY.
So I bought a bottle of Glenlivet the next day. Yea that was more what I expected. But I tried that Laphroaig again and was pleasantly surprised, as I could taste other notes behind that smoky bonfire. If you ain't guessed, I was HOOKED to the peat right then and there.
All the fruity, safe single malts went by the wayside as I explored all things Islay.
This was a few years ago and I now consider myself more than a seasoned vet in all things Scotch whisky. Delved into a few good ryes, bourbons and such.
I'm just sad Glenfarclus and many others are not available in my state. Guess it is time to start ordering online.
Cheers to Danial and Rex and all the other watchers of this hella fun channel.
This is a beautiful journey. Glad to have you with us.
For advanced Whiskys definitely Lagavulin 16( you can drink a whole bottle and still find new nuances in it), to some extent GlenDronach Parliament and Laphroaig Quarter Cask (thanks to their complexity), Talisker 57 (to get something else than the pepper/chilli burn takes time), and Ardbeg Uigeadail (after you get hit by the smoke and recover you get a fairly nuanced whisky).
That would be my recommodations for advanced whiskys, out of the ones I tried.
And Bunnahabhain 12 gets definitely added to my whisky wishlist.
Shatterhand I'm loving Ardbeg ugieadail at the moment.
Not a fan of the Mclellands myself. But I appreciate the pointers. I'll point beginners at it. Now, my recommendation for advanced is of course the Lagavulin 16. I'm probably the 9 millionth person to say that though.
The magnificent bastard line has to stay! It brings a smile on my face, every single time
I’ll say this... I drink scotch all the time, I love it. I have a decent stock of scotches.... but I still to this day can’t pick out different notes that well at all. I can always tell when something’s an Islay though because I can always call out briney/salty/sea spray because I LOVE it
My go to that would most definitely not be beginner-friendly? Laphroaig Quarter Cask for sure. I know you've had it on the channel before, but that's my vote. Love it!
For a "challenging" whisky let me suggest Connemara Turf Mor. On the upper end of medium peated. Some real heavy notes in its quite complex flavor. A long lingering sometimes harsh finish. One of my favorites. It is a bit immature which I often find adds some raggedness to the edges and keeps your palate guessing.
My first knock me off my feet and found advanced was Jura Prophecy heavy peated. I hated the first glass went backs and now i love it.
Laphroaig Cask Strength is awesome, Ardbeg Corryvreckan, Lagavulin, Laphroaig 10, and Talisker... I've enjoyed these very much. Haven't had the opportunity to taste many others. Look forward to tasting other Islay malts as their bold richness of flavor is wonderous!
Amrut's Peated is definitely not a beginner whisky.
I'm still getting myself used to some more advanced offerings (just bought a small bottle of Kilchoman Sanaig). This Amrut brought a tear to my eye, and not so much in a good way (much preferred the Classic Single Malt)...but my friend who loves peat was almost vibrating when she was talking about how fantastic the Peated is.
Ardbeg Uigeadail -,perfect combination of sweet and smokey
Loved Rex's reaction to the Ceobanach. I have a similar reaction to Bunnahabbain's peated expressions. I find them a bit more rounded than the 12. Perhaps that is just because I predominantly drink peated whiskies and am conditioned to look for that.
My wife gave me a bottle of this for my birthday, sooooo good..like better than oban or lagavulin in my book
Yeah man have to agree with the crew that you should keep the magnificent bastard bit as it is. Perhaps you could change things up a little like the Simpsons intro though. The line stays the same, mess around with the graphic. Im guessing with this crew it will turn into a game of "spot the difference" pretty quick.
A custom graphic for each Magnificent Bastard may be asking too much though. It's all they can manage right now to change the name each time.
ChrisC oh I didn't mean every time! That's insanity hahaha. I just mean a small change every now and then.
But you have to keep the eagle screech. That’s the best part.
I have learned to appreciate lower shelf scotch Whisky's a lot more lately.
Such as?
Keep the callout the same, it is the best!
Most advanced whiskey I've tried... Ardbeg Corryvrecken by far!
The Uigeadail is a nice little cuttle and kiss on the cheek compared to the Corry, which is why I think the vast majority of ppl prefer it. The Corry takes some balls and advanced taste to appreciate.
Bunna 18 is good too
For advanced whisky:
Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie
Hey guys. I started my love for whisky with nikka from the berrel, and one day I found you guys and saw all the videos because they are so entertaining and funny, keep up the good work!
Since the first video my collection grown with glennfidich 12, monkey shoulder, Laphroaig 10 and famous grouse (was in promotion for half the price). I must say I am one of those people who loved laphroaig from the first taste and almost finish the bottle!
My 'advanced' whisky would definitely be Clynelish 14, Oban 14, or a Kilkerran 12 (if you can manage to find that across the pond). It'd be grand to see you guys give some history behind Clynelish, means you get to waffle on about Brora too :D
Lagavulin 16/12, Ardbeg Uigeadail, Laphroaig cask strength, Compass Box Peat Monster, Hakushu 18, Bowmore 18
The McClelland’s Speyside is one of my go-to cheap whiskies. Very decent stuff, but the Highland has a weird, wet-cardboard note that is just unpleasant.
3 complex, non-beginner whiskies:
1. Ardbeg 10
2. Lagavulin Distillers Edition
3. Redbreast 12 Cask Strength
We need a Magnificent Bastard Door (or wall) of Fame. When someone sends in a donation, you dub them "Sir Bastard of Magnificence, Official Member of the Whiskey Vault Tribe" . Then add their name along with a small picture of a Glencairn glass on the door. This symbolizes them being there in spirit and also says they have a glass of whiskey waiting for them when they come visit.
I am actually working on this right now. With our laser engraving machine.
Whiskey Vault Sweet! I think I actually sent you an email about it a while back for the vault member thing. My idea was similar to this but also mentioned using the engraving machine to engrave names on glasses.
Quick Mooch? Story,
Have a friend who is an event planner who was holding a whisky tasting / food tasting for her client, when I heard about it I was very "Curious about ... Event planning" they put me on the event list because "research" (Mind you each ticket was ~$150 each, and no limit pours). They had Glen Dronach's 12, 18 allardice, 21 parliment, Aberlour's 12, 18 and A'bunadh, along with a half dozen independent distillery offerings. I put on my best Som impression while feeling like a mooch at heart.
PS. If you read this on a show just refer to me as JB,(not my full name, encase I have to do additional "research")
Just starting binge watching a new show (Lost in Space) I'll leave my opinion of the show out, but was pleasantly surprised when "peat from the Orkney Islands" got a shout out, and Laugavulin 16 got a featured place in a few episodes. Warms my heart to see good whiskey getting the spotlight it deserves instead of shows using a prop bottle that just says "whisky" on the label.
Fun complex whiskey that’s still really enjoyable: Dalmore King Alexander 3...although I prefer the Cigar Malt
me too
Clynelish 14, Balvienie 12 Single Barrel, Glenfiddich 14 Rich Oak, Craigellachie 13, BenRiach Matured in Sherry Oak, Glencadam, Aultmore 12, Glendronach The Hielan 8 and 15. Off the top of my head No beginners allowed whiskies
Tried a Bunnahabhain Stiureadair on Saturday.
Also picked up a Coal Ila 18.
Lagavulin (Any).
Ardbeg (Any).
Bruichladdich (Any).
Most complex in the sipping stable to date are The Glenlivet Nadurra, oloroso matured and cask strength ....60.3%, and Ardbeg Uigeadail.....54.2%. Could drink the Uigeadail all F’n day!! Nadurra has sharp edges on it’s learning curve....but I will get it!
As for complex old pulteney 12 isn't for begginers. Bowmore cask strength vault edition. It's a challenging dram.
For the whisky biscuits channel biscuity bastards is a must
Love my Bunnahabhain. I think I'll have some right now.
For a call out, just because most of us will own it...instead of Magnificent Bastard, use You Magnificent Drunk Bastard. Because we will all be drunk in one or more of these videos and we will never fault any of us for enjoying something we like to get us to that point.
Advanced whisky: Kilchoman Sanaig. What a balance of pepper, smoke, and fruit!
As far as super complexity for whiskys, it's almost going to be exclusively Scotch. I'll throw Laphroaig Cairdeas and Glenfarclas 25 out there. I think the Talisker Distiller's edition (due to the Sherry casking) is also pretty wild.
I recently watched a video where Rex was doing a blind tasting of a Pappy and Weller. Rex, I think its time you put Daniel's Sommelier-ness to the test. i really enjoyed that video and can't wait for more.
Jonathan Southwood where's that video?

Love your show and reviews! You've made whiskey's fun and approachable for thousands of people. Internet famous is upon you! Would love more whiskey-family tastings (i.e. compare/contrast Dewer's line as an example) or Do ABV range tastings across a type (rye, bourbon,). And more Guests... ok, back off to work so I can afford all the whiskey's you have reviewed.
Advanced Scotch whisky that isn't too pricey: Caol Ila 12 - burned BBQ pork, Lagavulin 8 yr (recent special ed, it is more explosive than the 16, never tried the 12) and Talisker 57 Deg North ('It burns us! It burns us!').
For advanced whiskeys I would definitely have to say octomore, longrow, and ardbeg corryvreckan
Glenfarclas 15 is for me advanced, in the facebook group i just explained. Further more a cask strenght single cask ledaig (more the CS single casks in general) and the ardbeg uigeadail
I love this whisky! So good!
This is going to sound fictional, but I got to meet John Glaser last night at a Compass Box tasting/seminar last night. I walked away with a signed bottle of the super limited Great King Street Marrying Cask Edition. Then finished off the night with a chance to taste the ridiculously impossible to find La Alazana Patagonian Single Malt. Damn good evening. I'm curious to see if there's any Compass Box during "Daniel Week." Cheers!
that's awesome!
I would like to hear Daniels thoughts about Independent Bottlers like Signatory. I got a 24 years old Longmorn from them and it is simply magical...Price was roughly 100 Euro. I tried different Single Barrel Whiskys from Signatory and in my opinion there is treasure to be found.
I think Signatory is freaking amazing. I have a couple dozen Signatory bottles in the vault. I'm a huge fan of the independent bottling companies because they give you a chance to experience something outside the normal range from a distillery you know and love.
+Whiskey Vault might be a good topic for a video...dont think to many people now about independent bottling companies.
Maxims of Mooching:
1.) Thou shalt always take whisk[e]y when offered, or trick/tease it from the one being mooched when oppurtunity arises
2.) Mooches shall never cross the line from mooching to malicious scamming, nor stealing or any other darker versions of mooching, to obtain whisk[e]y or any other commodity. (Unless it's from Daniel and then Grandmaster Mooch Supreme has final word)
3.) Thou shall not give nor purchase liquor for another person, except in the most important of occasions for those closest to you.*
4.) When called on one's mooching one, with pride and plume, will agree and decree that you indeed are a mooch and then will toast with your mooched beverage of choice.
5.) When meeting Grandmaster Mooch Supreme, here on known as Rex, is the only acceptable time, outside of the aforementioned exemptions, one mooch can purchase whisk[e]y for another without fear of demerits.
6.) You gain _____ number of levels [to be determined by Rex] per ounce** times the type, rarity, and most importantly personal taste of whisk[e]y being mooched.
* (marriage, birth of child, and for their funeral are the only exemptions)
**(mL I believe for our brethren across yon pond)
I love the salt-watery notes. What is the most salt-water brinie tasting scotch you know of?How come you guys don't sound like Texans? I miss the 8 bit Wayne's world whisky donation tribute that's was a goodie. Great episode as always thanks Daniel
to Daniel week!!
What days are the strongest?
Saturday and Sunday, the rest are week days.
Ive realized that i mooch most of the gin and mixers and i tend to have the whiskey and spiced rum (My Cup Liqours) mooched from me... i feel its a mostly okay except for i buy better liqour and play bartender because they couldnt mix koolaid
Springbank, Clynelish, Brora, Ardbeg, that's the shit.
Advanced whiskies:
1) Bruichladdich Port Charlotte. Peated, but with more sweet and fruit notes to pull out. It's not challenging, but a deeper understanding heightens enjoyment.
2) Ardbeg 10. Because fuck you, that's why.
3) Oban 14. It's very good, but in my experience it's a bit... rough? It's got complex and subtle flavors, but there's an alcohol kick to it that can cover them up.
The McClellans Highland is from Glen Garioch according to my expert internet research.
For a whiskey that is in the advanced category you have to include any of the Pappy Line. Love the content guys.
Granted, I haven't had the entire Pappy line, but honestly I don't think I would classify any of the Pappy I've had thus far as particularly "complex." And if I'm being honest, after it's mythical Unicorn status (thanks, marketing and supply shortfalls) I was a bit let down. Much more solid spirits at considerably lower price points.
Just my $.02 . . .
Oh I completely agree that it is extremely overrated for the price but I do think that there is complexity in it other bourbons severely lack. For me the classic bourbon traits are there like honey and vanilla but for me it's the almondy, almost grapefruit, and cloves that I get that rock my world. I have never tasted those notes in a bourbon and feel that they are different combination of flavors to pick out in any whiskey. Though like you said I do think that the marketing has severely overhyped and makes it almost impossible to drink without spending a ton and looking like a snob.
Now the subscriber count is 220K! :) Well done!
Hey guys! Awesome work! I‘m addicted to your channel.... better than Netflix 🤙🏽 greetings from Germany! Oh By the way. Where is this Facebook Group? Did Not find it... oh and my 3 advanced Whiskys are glendronach 18 / Paul John bold / ardbeg ugedail thanks and sorry for my english
Search FAcebook for "Whisky Vault Crew"
I've been looking at getting a bottle of this so now I'm really excited to see what they have to say.
First letter of the first name gets you the adjective for that person and first letter of the last name gets the noun they will be called. It will always be fresh. Also, everyone will freakout trying to find what letters mean what.
Was having a bad day your humour saved the day! Thanks guys keep up the great vids!
laphroig 10 a strong smokey scotch, but i love it
Blanton bourbon, subtle nuances, would be my advanced choice.
i love the bunna 18 the most. yum
Springbank 15, Ardbeg Corryvreckan, Laphroaig Cask Strength
Like many I'm working my way through old episodes that dropped before I found this channel. In one Rex requested a cocktail. I know Daniel has expressed his aversion to cocktails. But I would like to hear your thoughts on perhaps which whiskies or flavor profiles work best in the various whisky cocktails. I don't drink a lot of cocktails, the occasional Boulevardier or Suffering Bastard (with Bourbon in place of rum) and the Sunday brunch Bloody Mary. But let's face it. The Bloody Mary isn't so much of a cocktail as it is an adult's answer to Carnation's Instant Breakfast.
possibly whiskey biscuits content?
old grand dad 114 is definitely an advanced whiskey, but damn is it good
We need more whiskey biscuits like now!
saturdays-ish
Advanced Whisky Submission: Bruichladdich Octomore
Rex how about “MALTnificant bastard” As far as a go to whiskey that I wouldn’t give to a newbie... it’s a toss up between lagavulin 16 and ardbeg 10, or wild turkey 101, or Jack Daniels single barrel. All wonderful whiskeys but you might not appreciate them to the fullest if you don’t know what to look for.
My recommodations for more advanced whisk(e)ys (that i at least tried) are:
Bruichladdich The Classic Laddie
Auchentoshan Triple Wood
Ardbeg Uigeadail
The Ardbeg Uigeadail is the one i am still struggling with a little.
Dávid Nagy I actually would have named the classic laddie as a beginner whisky. I know it’s got quite punch at 50% but it’s so thick, sweet and lovely. It’s a good lesson in colouration and chill filtering too.
Yeah, after i got more experience with the classic Laddie, buth when i first got a bottle it wasn´t as friendly like for example Dallmore 12 or Glenfiddich 12. But yeah i agree with you.
Dávid Nagy could also be a lot of batch variation it seems to have very polarising reviews. Mine was unlike any whisky I’ve tried before; all apple, peach and cinnamon with cream, it tasted almost like there was honey added to it. It had a real thickness to it, it’s actually the one I want to bring around to my non whisky friends for them to try.
Could be a possibility. My first one smelled like bad cheese and moist sawdust and the taste was heavy oil and heat.
I just ordered a new bottle and i will share my experience compared to yours sir.
Dávid Nagy Do you still have the old bottle?
Gentlemen,
I thoroughly enjoy watching your banter every day on my lunch breaks. I just began my whisk(e)y exploration and I know it was agreed upon to not speak of this evil anymore BUT could you give me recommendations similar to Monkey Shoulder?? I bought my first bottle and I believe there's a leak in it. It disappeared so quickly! Thank you and I look forward to new Whiskey Biscuits vids!
Do the old callouts, with the opera music, the wigs, and the falsetto voice. Those were hilarious.
Maybe change the interface of the call-out screen
Have you guys tried any of the old forester statesman edition? It was for the new kingsman movie and I have a bottle but I think I'm not experienced enough to appreciate it, because I've heard it's good, but idk how I feel about
Not yet!
Daniel and Rex I want your expert opinion on this... what is the maximum length of facial hair that can be considered classy, not messy? Thank you for your time, Tribesman Evan
4.389 inches.
Rex has been pouring a lot of his own whisky lately. How very un-mooch of him. On the other hand it does give him the opertunity to give himself some very healthy pours.
I think it's mooching disguised as generosity
Greetings Somm and Mooch! So I've considered buying a decanter for my whiskey, because if there is one i always have in the house it is Wild Turkey 101. Im comfortable leaving that in the open whilst the more expensive memebers of my collection remain safely hidden. My question to you is this: how long can I keep this whiskey in the decanter, in a room with not much lighting or anything to affect it, without diminishing the flavor?
For your advanced Whisky:
Overeem - Port Cask, Cask Strength
Great Southern Distillery (R.I.P.) - Cask #37 ... If you can get your hands on it. Only 181 bottles made.
How can I send you some delicious samples from Aus? What would be the best transport method?
UPS or Fedex really. Thanks for the offer!
+1 for the Overeem port cask, I tried the non-cask strength version and its amazing!
My fiancé says she might get me something to drink older than I am for my birthday and knowing her that means scotch. Since we don’t drink much wine and can’t imagine drinking a beer that’s 30 years old. She asked what I wanted and since it’s my money she’s spending I found the scallop divers dram by bunnahabin. Any opinions for someone very new to scotch?
Haven't tried it, but would love it!
Ok thanks it will be my Birthday and I can ask for whatever I want but I do gotta hand it to her it’s a good idea thanks for the advice you give myself and the entire community.
Hahahaha!! I told you yesterday that the Professor, my benevolent “mooch source”, was going to pick up a new whisky for the noon time conversation. His wife said he bought M______ S________. Note.....I am observing the new rules and did not utter the name. It now becomes the unknown mooch!
I am assuming the mcclellands speyside is a mcclellands original considering they have a 12yr expression.
very possible
Advanced level: Laphroaig Quarter Cask
What do you guys think about the dry fly port finish wheat whiskey? I love blueberry, so i'm considering to buy it
The first time I tried this whiskey, it reminded me of the smell of brake oil from a car... And I loved it hahahahha !!
Hey daniel....I've recently taken an intrest in whisky...mainly scotch and love your videos....I was wondering how I can get some of your glasses with the whisky vault on them
FYI Rex in the super secret group questions you have been referred to as “Max” a few times and “Sexy Rexy” an alarming about of times.
Can you guys maybe make a video on YOUR favorites as of now? I don't know about others but I would be pretty interested in that.
i second that suggestion.
That's a pretty cool idea!
You could make it a week-long series, where each talks about one favorite each day by specific classifications for a total of ten (not including surprise appearances).
I see that being a huge success.
If I’m trying to get an idea of what region of scotch I’d want to look closer at, would it be wise to get that whole line of mcclelland? I’ve sound companies in other industries that do the same that you described these guys do, and it did not turn out well.
It's possible, but you'd be better off finding a bar with whisky selections and sampling things first.
Whiskey Vault that would have been my first go, but I’m REALLY not a “go out” type of person. People annoy me. You guys don’t. I REALLY wanna make the drive from Houston to Austin.
"Chief executive officer banach" great whiskey!
3 suggestions: springbank 10 kilkerran 12 longrow 18 ( unquestionably advanced whiskey ) HAHAHAHAHA
I wanted to ask, would you ever consider a gag video where you reviewed notoriously bad whiskey in serious effort? An example would be Sunnybrook blended whiskey priced around $8-12
Thank you for gazing upon my humble comment,
Your adoring tribesman ♡
How strange I've just bought a bottle of bunnahabian 12 today.
Any suggestion on some fine scotch whiskey which cost max EU200:- ?
Have you guys reviewed any of the Smooth Ambler line? I could not find a video through the search function.
I am too dam cheap to send whiskey (or whisky), but please don't change the "Magnificent Bastard" graphics. It is perfect the way it is (Remember how well "new" coke worked) How can you improve on explosions and unicorns?
Well obviously Macallan M and Dalmore 20 should be on the advanced list. (Help Rex out guys)
