** 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?

Daniel, you are right! this IS fascinating shit! Rex, sip your whisky and let the man tell his story ;)
Still It, ya know... I'm the one who determines who gets linked in the cards. Just sayin' 😉
Also thought you would be the type to appreciate brutal honesty and critical feed. . . . . . . . . . . .
Shit, I'm making this worse huh? Dang, it how do I delete a comment?
all sins magically wash away with some of that delicious nectar you're creating... kidding! all good. the longer daniels story, the more whiskey i get.
Dont worry, as soon as I work out how to do that without getting in trouble. . . .
When is the vault or the biscuits going to visit NZ and give us their take on some of this amazing whiskey being made in a shed!!
As I am watching this in 2023 I realize that I would pay to watch a series of Daniel truly nerding out on whisk(e)y.
I was actually in the Teeling Distillery when I was in Ireland, I swear the tour guide looked exactly like Daniel with hair.
Sounds horrifying!
Teeling is almost always on my bar, a lovely Irish. Buy it , drink it, love it.
I really like Daniels stories, it helps relative whisky novices like myself understand where whisky comes from and the kulture sorrunding whisky.
And Rex's goofing off keeps the tasting notes part of the video interresting.
Keep up the good work. (and review Talikser Port Ruighe! :)
In honor of St. Patrick's day, I bought a bottle of Teeling. Other than Jameson, never had any Irish Whiskey. I love Bourbon and Rye but not a Scotch fan. This Teeling is fantastic! Slight Sweet Honey Dew Melon. Has a great spice front. Finish is long and not drying. Super good stuff,. Thanks for the review. Cheers
You guys have convinced me to take the step toward the dark side and I have now ordered some GlenCairn glasses as well as bought several new bottles for my own vault. The new bottles to Join my vault are Michter's American Whiskey, and Ardbeg 10.
While out buying these new bottles I happened across some Bourbon that is made here in Wisconsin. The brand is J. Henry and sons. They claim their unique flavor comes from an heirloom red corn that they grow on their farm. This has opened up my eyes to the fact that i should also be looking locally for distilleries because there is always potential for a great whiskey to come from a relatively new distillery.
As i find them I will probably start sending you guys some bottles.
Shawn Casson, heirloom red corn? That sounds really interesting. And good choices on that Michters and Ardbeg. They are VERY different, but I like both.
I like the differences between the two and I am building my collection so that I can introduce friends and family to whiskey or entertain my experienced whiskey drinking friends.
I have a lot of friends that are into the craft beer scene here and I want to open their eyes to the whiskey world. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy craft beers and am a supporter of our state's brewers guild but I still prefer whiskey.
this is one of the first Irish whiskies that I got a noticeable wood character in the flavor. After wood, I get all the notes Daniel describes: white wine and banana. He has a great sense of taste that is not affected by the alcohol that masks all my tasting abilities!
Great lecture on Irish Whiskey history, good gravy!
nothing you cannot read in any book about whisky...
I am currently in Dublin and had just got done with their tour. Holy cow they have amazing whiskey. This tour was so much better then Jameson and Tullamore hands down. All of their whiskeys taste very much different from one another. Conor if you read this, thanks again for our honeymoon tour.
I'm happy you guys reviewed this whiskey. I've debated buying it for a while now and I've just started getting into Irish whiskey. I have green spot, my new favorite whiskey, and I just bought glen cairn glasses to see if it'd taste different than in my regular tumbler. I have to say the glass really does make a difference. I definitely get more honey notes but now I'm excited to try to Teeling as well! Keep up the great work guys and Daniel, I honestly found your story really interesting
For me it goes like this: Green Spot, Yellow Spot, Jameson 18 and top of the pile, Teeling Single Malt
Oh man I love Teeling whiskeys. For the price they are almost unbeatable.
Good sirs you are pretty spot on there. I definitely get notes of local whines off of this Whisky.
Love from NZ
I for one really appreciate the interesting facts about the whiskey. It comes in handy. Although I may never be able to afford a bottle of some of the things ya'll drink, if i ever happen to find myself mooching with/from someone I can engage in interesting conversation about the whiskey the so kindly shared with me.
I've just had my first Campbeltown whiskies. Springbank punched my in the face while Longrow repeated kicked me in the groin. It really was a wonderful experience!
Holcombi, welcome home my friend... Welcome home. 👍
A few days ago I picked up my current rotation of every day drinking whisk(e)ys. The American: Michter's American, The Irish: Teeling small batch, and the Scottish: Lagavulin 16
Hell yah. That's a great selection.
Teeling Single Malt is miles ahead of Small Batch
I didn't know Irish whiskey could be so good until I tasted this.
So he gives away whiskey instead of his box of chocolates?
does that make him Old Forester Gump?
hahahahahahahahahahahaha
Isn't Teeling single malt made from 100% malted barley and not the usual malted/non-malted percentages?
Just asking!!
And also because A) I'm Irish! B) I'm a Teeling fan and... C) Because it's what their website says. Plus, personally I think it tastes more like a Speyside scotch with an Irish whiskey finish which would suggest 100% malted barley.
Just saying!!
Wow I love the history from Daniel.
I had a dram a while back and it has to be my favorite Irish whiskey I've tried, though I have not tried a lot of them.
Only Jameson 18 comes close to Telling Single Malt in my view.
Rex, Every time he tell's a story with different whiskey you should be able to taste each one
hey guys,greetings from croatian whiskey enthusiast.
love your channel, so easy to watch. let me tell you something, been drinking Teeling and Hibiki harmony and could not decide wich one is more amazing. Great video,cheers!!
I've finally place you gentleman.....your like NPR's "Car Guys" review whiskey!!
Oh man, this is my all time favorite comparison. I freaking loved that show.
I bought this a few weekends ago, tried it last night for the first time. I wasn't sure at first what to think. The rum casks give it a "unique" taste and note. The finish was hard to pinpoint but none of it was bad. Anyone else feel the same with it? I enjoyed it, but not as much as Red Breast or Glen.
Nice review 👍👌what you guy's think about "Teeling stout cask"
wait... what? how have i never heard of this?!? stout casks are some of my favorite things!
When I first watched this I was very confused when Daniel went from referencing the flavour profile of NZ Savignon Blanc to saying what I thought was "like Marlboro."
Today isn't even the first time I've come back to this video, but it's the first time I realised Daniel was attempting to pronounce Marlborough, my home province here in New Zealand. That was a kick for real.
Nice primer on Irish whiskey history.You forgot about the Anglo Irish trade war which cost Irish distillers access to the Commonwealth market too.
true!
+1 for viewers who give a damn about Daniel's whiskey knowledge and brand backstories!
Crossing middle earth gives you enough stories to one up everyone
too true
Marco Hosfeld, 😀😂😜👍
For pot stills whiskey, the banana aroma (isoamyl acetate) can be achieved by adding 4-5% oats as flavouring grain.
You're the first person I've seen that gets that. I was sipping on Glenfiddich 14 year and the lingering taste seemed like fried bananas to me.
I have some more news on the Ardbeg An Oa for you. I asked a guy at my local Total Wine and he said that store should be putting it out by the 11th so prob get it sometime next week. It'll be priced at $65. After doing research, I found out it's triple finished (PX sherry, virgin oak and ex-bourbon casks) and supposed to be a more approachable Ardbeg. Still peaty but more light bodied than their other core expressions. Milk chocolate, orange and smokey tea leaves are what the website says.
Check with your local shop and see when they're getting it in. If it won't be for a while lemme know and I can prob send you a bottle if you want.
That sounds super interesting. Hope we get it in Austin!
Rex You will! It's going to be an addition for their core range. First one added since Corryvrecken in 2009. So there will be the 10yr, Uigeadail, Corryvrecken and An Oa (pronounced kinda like "I know" which a heavy Scottish accent). Should be hitting shelves most places next month.
Rex you have to choose..... Scarlett Johansson or a short bald guy who pours you whisky.
After enough whiskey a short bald guy will be Scarlett Johansson.
Yancey Foster that must be why he's in such a good mood later in the week.
Could he not just use Johansson's money to Mooch whisky?
ScarJo. Done. Daniel? Get the hell out.
I would pick Daniel...no chance of ever meeting scarlet, and I bet she wouldn't know a dram about whiskey, what good is that.
Honestly, some of the best historical information I have come across watching whisk(e)y reviews... really cool. . .
"I spent a summer in THAT castle!" - 8:00
So daniel, after showing off your whisky show to my brother. He shocked me by telling me he olayed a show with you way way back in the day. He played with a band called Absolute Uncertainties. His name is John "cheeto" swopes. He was partying pretty hard back then. It is entirely probable that he was thinking of someone else but I thought I would share this.
Show was in nm. Another band there was the bruce lee experience
It's very possible! I toured 47 of the 50 states for the better part of 12 years. Even I have a hard time remembering who we played with back then :-)
Thats alot of shows. Im surprised he recognized you. As hard as he partied im surprised he remembers anything from then. Real or induced.
Speaking of banana...I bought 2 used barrel heads and have them temporarily stored in my garage. I walked into the garage yesterday and that's the first thing I smelled...banana.
Great review you blokes ! ..greetings from Dublin.
I dig the facts and the history the Daniel shares. Also dig Rex's "SHENANIGANS!". 😆🥃
I bought this today got a bottle of small batch 46% I think.i got it on offer at 20pounds from something like 35 pounds.its's one of my main uses of building my collection buying when on offer so I normally get 2 bottles if I like and 1 bottle if it's a new try for me
Have to try this as have driven by where this is made thanks lads
So I have a question about barrel aging. I remember in several of your past episodes you've tried something and described it as having a "sour, funky note" which Daniel would then go on to explain comes from using young new oak barrels. My question is, is it possible to use woods other than oak to age a whiskey, perhaps to add some different types of flavors? Is oak the usual wood used for barrels because that's just what everyone tends to do, or because other woods can't be used?
PS: I've been using this handle for various online profiles for years, and I just think its funny that OF COURSE I would end up loving a channel like this. Keep up the good work guys, cheers.
Love that you're here. on the again, the requirement is simply that you have a wood that has a large cellulose structure to allow for a high ratio of movement in and out of the wood. This is why hardwoods don't do well for whisky aging.
Interesting. Are there any good examples of whiskies that use different wood for aging? Would love to try some to see how the specifics of the barrel influence changes depending on the type of wood used.
Whiskey4breakfast dam good question!
One big reason that oak is used for the casks is a practical one: it works well for making water-tight vessels - also a reason why it was the best wood for shipbuilding back in the day. You wouldn't want to fill a cask with your precious whisky if it were going to just leak everywhere! (and it's a lot more common/cheaper than alternative woods)
My follow-up question, in the countries that most of us would associate with being major whisky producers (ie. Scotland, Ireland, US, Japan, Canada), isn't it mandated by law that the producers must use oak when aging their whisky, otherwise they can't call it whisky?
Yeah the structural reasons definitely make sense. Although with modern technology it would be cool to see if we could make other woods work where they may not have before.
As for legal definitions, there are several countries that do require that it be aged in oak in order to be considered whisky, Scotland and the US being among these. (Although in the US, corn whiskey apparently doesn't need to be aged in oak in order to be considered whiskey, but whiskey made from other grains does) However, the Irish Whiskey Act of 1980 only specifies that whiskey must be aged in wood barrels, it doesn't specify oak. So in Ireland, you could age it in whatever kind of wood you want and still call it whiskey. Same with the US as long as you made it from corn.
These are just some things i was able to find after researching a bit, so don't take this as gospel, obviously. But either way, I think it would be pretty cool to see distillers making whiskey (or "whiskey-like products" and aging them in other types of wood. Seems like a cool way they could get creative with flavors.
It was a fascinating ramble...but it was just that... a ramble. BTW haven't you guys reviewed Teeling before? Or a variant?
Yeah, I did one during the solo version of the show
Didn't think I was crazy... still need to pick up a bottle. Luckily I can find it here.
Thank God more Irish whiskey!
yah, i'm looking forward to what the Irish will come up with.
Rex still hoping to see Middleton very rare and redbreast 12 on here...two of my favorites!
Woo! Loving the NZ shout out. We do produce some amazing wine! Can't wait to get further through your playlist to some NZ Whiskeys!
I’m in love with Waimea’s Pinot Noir. It’s so rare we get it here in Quebec (Canada), but when we do, I run to the store!
Wow, Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc is one of my
favourite wines. The winemakers are really cool. Well worth a visit if anyone is in Marlborough.
sweet 2 days in a row. and meant to say this on yesterdays vid. whiskey the only time where its ok to be half mast for a 12 year old
Rex should have Daniel talk constantly if it slows down time for him, it would give more time to enjoy the whiskey and think on the nuances.
Rex, I need your help....my friend is a mooch, he knows that he is and is proud of it. I recently bought some Octomore, it only took him 3 hours to get to my house to mooch some of it. How do I flip the moochswitch and start mooching of him instead of the other way around?
Harm van der molen, step 1) does he even have whiskey?
Rex yes, yes he does
Have a bottle of teeling small batch .cant wait to taste it 😁
My brother went to Ireland and told him to get me a duty free special like johnnie walker spice road or a glenmorangie duty free special edition. He told me ok. Came back and asked him what he got and he says its something you can only get in Ireland.... he brought it over yesterday and it was std Jameson. -____- "but it has a limited edition label you can only get at the distillery" ....
Eh. A for effort i guess. Is the label cool?
Rex better be spectacular 》.《
Well… it came in box and he doesn't know any better than to always open whisky's in a box before buying… so there are 2 large creases in the label but yeah it's alright different but nothing funky like compass box or you know what label I think is sexy lagavulin's double print label got to check it out to know what I mean. But I actually needed a Jameson in my collect as all I got right now is black bush, Connemara n Tully Phoenix which I disagree with you'll on your review. I think think it is much better than Tully regular. And now I'm on that subject I been stocking high west prairie bourbon from a place that I think is selling them on the cheap because honestly it is banging. And I'm not sending you one because I trying to sell them And review it please!
Hi guys. I really appreciate you guys. I enjoy the comments and your sense of humour. I am enjoy and appreciate whisky much more since I have been listening to your videos. I am from Canada and my first language is French. Please don’t hold it agains’t me :-). But, I wanted to tell you, please do not pronunce the C at the end of the word blanc, like in Sauvignon Blanc. It is a slient » c » The same for. « Jus » in French. Do not pronounce the « s « at the end like in Roast Beefw au Jus ». Thanks guys and keep up the good work.
This whisky is 100% *malted* barley, so I'm curious on where those buttery biscuit notes are actually coming from.
Me too!
Great episode guys! Love the story bit, keep up the good work Daniel!
I Just started my Islay journey and have tried Laphroaig 10 and PX, Ardbeg 10 and Uigeadail, Lagavulin 16, Caol Ila 12 and Bowmore 10 Dark & Intense. My favourite so far is the Uigeadail and PX and kinda disappointed with Bowmore 10 (find it really thin and pretty). I'm really curious about Bowmore and considering my preference, can you recommend me an expression from Bowmore?
A fan from Jakarta, Indonesia
Bowmore 15 or 18 are better
Maybe continue scotch exploration elsewhere many entry level are affordable and amazing talisker 10, glanfarclas 12, glendronach 12, nectar d'or, tomatin 12, clynelish 14, compass box to name a few
please do a review of the Glenfiddich XX or IPA
Rex had me at "we fell off a cliff." seriously though great history rant. Rex thanks for asking the question. Next time just give Daniel little slaps on the head every minute. They will get shorter. After watching this video at least 10 times I finally grabbed a bottle.
I couldn't buy just one so I also grabbed a Redbreast 12. These are my first Irish Whiskeys. You both did amazing jobs reviewing them and forcing my hand. The Teeling blew me away. I had the Redbreast the day prior so I could be introduced to a more traditional Irish and I must say I'm impressed. Then seeing the nuance in the Teeling got me excited for the future. Keep up the fantastic work.
another glorious day in the shire
Glad ya mentioned New Zealand
Please do a review on Glenlivet or that nice bottle of Macallan M
I asked Daniel about the M today. We're trying to bring in the guy who donated it for the review. Ryan Diess. He's cool, would be great on camera - and may appreciate the chance to show off his whiskey! Also, yah - Glenlivet is a classic. I need to replace my house-bottle.
This is my go to whiskey. Absolutely delicious. One cube of ice. No more.
Wow , 4 years ago and Rex looks like he's a fresh college grad, now we get hip Dad Rex
So when you say biscuits... do you mean american biscuits (like biscuits and gravy) or "european" biscuits, like digestive and such? Because I am profoundly confused.
american biscuits.
European biscuits actually. Like shortbread cookies.
Andreas Reitzel great now they're bickering. Good job Andres!
when I was drinking this I immediately got Allens peachs and cream lollies I dont know if you guys have Allens but its in there. What do you think?
I love this whiskey so much!!! I'm curious about the Teeling Stout Cask Finish. Have you tasted that?
It's awesome!
Whiskey Vault Damn it! That's great news. Sweetness is my weakness...unless of course peatness is my weakness. There's a Scotch for every mood, but this strays a tad further from the fray. How exciting?!
@@calebsteingruber6906 A little late, but Teeling's Small Batch was my first Irish (after a deep and passionate love affair with Scotch in all its forms), and I can't get enough of it! The funky notes from the rum cask help make it reminiscent of my favorite scotches (Clynelish 14 most notably), which certainly helps
@@saint-cetacean Clynelish 14 happens to be one of my very favourites as well!
@@calebsteingruber6906 Good man!! Dare I say you have excellent taste 😂
I got baked apple, crumble and custard. Really moreish.
Teeling small batch review?
I need to try some of that Irish single malt. Have you guys done any springbanks yet? I see them! The 15 is amazing.
Springbanks is fucking fantastic. We'll start working on them soon.
Outsanding!
When do we get to the product review part? Was hoping for helpful insight.
The teeling single malt is made of 100% malted barley there is no unmalted!
Please do a review of Teeling Small Batch
Rex I'm pretty sure Daniel gets his tasting notes from you.
Hey do you have Slaughterhouse House American whiskey, I tried it at a local bar recently and thought about y'all while drinking it.
Not yet. What did you think of it?
It was interesting enough that I have a bottle of it at home now. I need to open it and try it again because I remember getting a strange flavor from it. But it was fairly light and simple, with just that one interesting note that kept me going back.
I am a metrologist surrounded by old imperial measuring machines, I measure in inches and convert to metric, no problem.
It might be insulting but I've no idea what you said Rex lol
8:41 @Rex, oh how have we come do far?
I see a bottle of Knappogue 12 year on the shelf, when is that one being reviewed?
Everything you need to know about Irish Whiskey in less than three minutes - 1:42
I heard this was good but the rating of 300 reviewers on Distiller.com rate it a mediocre 3.44 where the Redbreast 12 is rated at 4.12 by over 2000 reviewers. How would you guys compare this to the redbreast 12?
Dang another one for the "list"😉
Isn't it. I'm dumping my whole pay check into this. I didn't even drink 2 months ago...
Jo Chang it's the hubbys fault. He got hooked on these guys an then got me hooked an now I am constantly searching for which whiskeys we can get in our area or even calling on friends to find in other parts of the country
lol, same here. A friend of mine were in Europe two weeks ago. And I just watch Longmorn episode. I had to email/txt her and ask her to see if she could find one in duty free shops.
We started with two bottles, and are now at twenty-three bottles. Pride of place is held by Longmorn 16 that Daniel sent us, followed by Wild Turkey Master's Keep.
Thanks to this channel I now make a weekly trip to Total Wine to buy a new bottle. It's crazy how these guys get in your head. Haha
Can Teeling still call it a single malt if they're using un-malted barley? I thought it had to be 100% malted barley to be called single malt
Nah, single malt usually just means 100% malt.
Although the Teeling Single Malt is in fact 100% malted barley (at least according to their website). Might be an error/typo, not sure? If not - is that honey/biscuit note maybe a distillation thing?
How often do you both stray from whiskey? Just curious
Very rarely. Mostly to martinis
When I smell or taste bannana in blond beer, witbeer or weiẞbeer etc. some friends look at me like I'm an idiot. I have never smelled it in whisk(e)y though
Daniel accidentally made a banana whiskey. No subtlety or nuance. It was straight up - banana bread in a glass.
Speaking of American soldiers. General and future president Dwight D. Eisenhower inspected and addressed 2000 men just before the storming of Normandy in the rugby play field in front of my house.
Wild! and very cool.
Whiskey Vault That's castle I was on about was also the Us Navy's 28th station hospital during the war. I really must get around to emailing you some information about it.
yes. very cool
I love the history it's really cool
An episode with only one Whisky? Where is the power of moochitude?
Rex only gets 1 whiskey this episode?! Negative mooch ranks !
Enjoyable video gentlemen
One thing to add to your story about the collapse of the Irish distilleries was a temperance movement led by a catholic priest called Father Mathew. In Ireland if you call yourself a "pioneer" you are far more likely to be a non drinker rather than an adventurer or an inventor. Even now, some older people proudly wear their "Pioneer Pin" on their jacket lapel to show they are catholic & teetotal. When Irish catholic kids are around 13 and being "confirmed" into the church they are asked to take "the pledge" to abstain from alcohol until they are 18. If they do, I believe they still get a "pioneer pin" but I haven't seen one on a kid in decades. They were long & pointy & even in the '80s, social suicide.
Great whiskey by the way.
That's four things.
🙋🏽♀️Scientist! Indeed
Irish whisky fact; Jameson is Scottish.
It's just a brand name these days.
I usually dislike the malted taste but this tastes like ovaltine it's quite nice.
it is good whisky, but for me is more wanilla, and milk toffie :P
No I totally get the nanner
So, i can't seem to find this specific Teeling in my country, but i CAN get the Small Batch or the Single Grain, which one do you recommend?
neither, find the Single Malt
good video
This is my favorite of the normal Teelings.
I seen a liter of this stuff for $20 dollars on sale at the airport in Dublin if only I had a checked bag I would have gotten 😔
You know you can take liquids with you on the plane if you buy them past the security, right?
Sergei Ivanovich Mosin yes I know but the things is that I was going to many country’s and different airports to get back to the states so I couldnt
@@antoniomorales261 Fair enough then
Cool story, but there is no unmalted barley in a single malt, and while Ireland has been well known for single pot still because they're the only country that does it, they’re also known for single malts because, like pot still, they also invented it. In fact, Cooley, to my knowledge, never made whiskey in the “pot still” style and neither has Bushmills (in its over 400 year existence). Your single pot stills and pot still blends mostly come out of Middleton.
Teeling is good whiskey
