    ** 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?

    Nice episode, boyz! Great info share from corks to cuts and mashbills! And, thanks for coming on down to the bottom shelf and discussing Bottom Shelf Matters! The Triple A - Ancient Ancient Age - I pimp daily is going to cost a couple of more bucks, has a broader flavor profile and comes in at 90 proof. A fine low cost mixer. And admittedly, I much prefer the RHF to AAA. Proost!

    Those of us who have first hand knowledge of this whiskey may remember the Ancient Ancient Age. Not sure what the second "Ancient" means but it's a thing. My parents used to drink this exclusively when I was growing up and it was actually the first whiskey I ever tried. Ah, memories...

    @travisgreschner9501 6 років тому +1

    Hey guys, I want to start this out by saying thank you. Its because of you I have really started to appreciate all the facets of drinking spirits... particularly whisk(e)y. As a former long time party person, I am no stranger to cocktails and shots or horribly cheap spirits... whiskey being no exception. As I have grown out of that phase I had began drinking and exploring beers, completely disregarding any spirits. I had learned a lot about beer, I tend to enjoy the history and stories of the brews as well as the process of how its made (it makes the tasting and experience more enjoyable to me.). Now I am almost 30, living in Las Vegas, and as much as I love beer... I have decided to get back into the world of spirits. I have come to realize that the stories and little intricate details of other alcohols dont interest me, until I really started drinking whiskey, just recently Scotch in particular. From 21 til now I have not ever in my life tried a Scotch, lots of bottom shelf American whiskeys and a few Irish (mostly Jameson)... I started out with a 12 year Glen Moray and a 12 year Glenfiddich, both of which I am thoroughly enjoying because I am taking the time to smell, taste and experience the scotch for what it is. The only thing I am concerned with is falling into a Speyside trap, it is what I am familiar with and although I am enjoying it, I am now finding myself only looking for the Speysides in the scotch section of my local liquor store. What would be a good transitional scotch from Speyside to the darker, smokier and more peaty side?

    Hello to the magnificent mooch and the highbrow hobit. I Am wanting to change things up this Christmas. Usually I will put brandy or rum in my eggnog. Do you guys have any recommendations for a good whisky to mix with Eggnog?

  • @charlieghague
    @charlieghague 6 років тому +1

    Rex, you've asked about double and triple distilling recently and thought Daniel would get into it when he was talking about cuts. Basically, the cuts are what is distilled again in a double/triple distilled whiskey. A distiller will take the cuts and distill them again. This will raise the proof and quality of the whiskey as you're getting a more pure ethanol every time you do it.

  • @akuthia
    @akuthia 6 років тому +1

    So, crazy idea, I doulbt would do anything other than giving you more ABV, but could you do a slow evaporation on the 40% whiskeys, and do anything for the taste?

    There was a bit of discussion about "cuts" here, I was wondering what your thoughts are on "devil's cut," Daniel? I remember it being a bit of a fad a few years ago, so maybe you could review a whiskey and share some knowledge on them? Keep up the great work guys!

  • @JimmyLeg
    @JimmyLeg 6 років тому +2

    I think they're giving you the cork to check it's condition. That includes everything. Dry, cracked, moldy, anything that would affect the wine. Not just squeezing it.

  • @choicebarrelscrotes2732
    @choicebarrelscrotes2732 6 років тому +1

    That wine talk in the beginning gave me an idea. I'm not sure if anyone will see this but I think it would be cool--like, entirely as a vanity exercise--if the Tribe could compile a list of restaurants (or bars, but I'm thinking restaurants specifically) that offers glencairn glasses for their whisk(e)y. I guess I'll start--M Sushi in Durham, NC. Imagine my delight when I order a glass of Anika Coffey Grain and it comes in a glencairn.

    Im a little limited to what i can find for whiskys in Canada thats reasonably priced and im pretty sure daniel or rex isnt a fan of sweet, but for anyone else that may want to try it i had made some mead that finished a little sweeter than normal with some cinnamon sticks in secondary, mixed it in with some Bushmills and was actually pretty surprised how it tasted. Kind of reminds me of Apple Jacks Cereal.

    Question for you guys. I got started with whiskey around June. My wallet's put in more work than my liver so far. I didn't know the few specifics of an opened bottle's shelf life. 2-3 of my bottles remained at a third of their content from July-August until today. Now that I know this affected the bottle, it's hard to get past the diminished character. I'll get around these bottle just fine, but I have more and more bottles getting past half their original content. I'm a bit worried that I'll get to a point where I end up with a whiskey inventory that's decreasing faster in quality than I can reliably drink it. I've been looking in the options available for preservation (Wine preserver, transferring to smaller glass containers), but I'd like to have your take on these or this problem. Do you use any of these solutions ? Would you not bother with extending the shelf life ? Love the content guys and cheers

    • @WhiskeyVault
      @WhiskeyVault  6 років тому

      I like the plastic wrap over the bottle top like the "glad press and seal". But if it gets too low I have to move it to a smaller container.

  • @tjbourdeau8537
    @tjbourdeau8537 6 років тому +1

    I have a question for both Rex and Daniel. Rex I need a mooch level determination. Im 23, feels like it adds some mooch points. My grandpa is to the age where he can't make the trek from Michigan to Florida. So I offer to drive him down. Now I need to fly up there to do so. Well I'm a bigger guy and I need the wide seats. So my parents buy normal coach tickets for me but I've learned from the best. So by just saying who can put a price on family my coach seats are now a first class ride. In first class you get the 9 yards, dinner, desert, and not to mention free booze. How could I pass up. So I spent a 3 hour flight and a 2 hour flight trying as many whiskey they had available. Plus on this trip there will be a tour of the Angles Envy distillery I feel like this is at least mooch level 53.
    Daniel on the show or on a whiskey biscuits episode can you guys do a biscuit (team cookie) whiskey pairing. The Woodford Reserve at altitude with the bisqoff seemed to make a damn fine pair. They accented each other extremely well. And with a pairing that well done I don't see how it can even be biscuits, the southern biscuits. The cookie biscuit just paired perfectly. #teamcookie #RRRREEEEEXXXXXXMMMMMOOOOUUUUUNNNNTTTTTHHHHH P.S. I really enjoyed the poor man's blends. Those were really fascinating.

  • @harrisontracy7674

    When you guys mention floral notes, I automatically think of chemically flower-flavored perfume, which does not sound appetizing. Could you explain what floral notes mean? Also, I'm currently binge watching from the beginning (as of posting this comment I've finished episode 80), and after going back to the start, I like Rex a lot more. Just watching from the most recent posts I found him very annoying, I now appreciate the both of you and the great way you play off each other's differences. And lastly, I have a request: Please keep making these videos for at least 3 more years. I am currently 18, and absolutely love this channel, but it will make me very happy to one day be sipping whiskey along side you guys (virtually) and experiencing it with you. Thank you for all the information and fun and shenanigans you provide the world with these videos :)

    • @WhiskeyVault

      I recently did a comparison of the 3 budget ones from Buffalo, Ancient Age, Benchmark (my old standby) and Old Charter. I found (and a friend of mine agreed) the Old Charter seemed really harsh in comparison. Overall I found the other two to be very similar but my friend said he really preferred the Ancient Age over the Benchmark. But now that they've come up with several lines of Benchmark, I'm going to have to test those all as well.

    Come on, Rex. There's a chart now. Here's the proper evaluation of Nick Burns' moochiness:
    First, clarifications. Level 81 is defined as follows: "You hack Daniel Whittington. You get all the gift whiskies he's supposed to get. That's a lot of whiskey."
    Level 57 is defined as follows: "You've seduced several whiskey-loving ladies, only to move far away. They fight to stay in your life through gift whiskies. You keep them on the leash just enough to keep the bottles coming. There's one in Dublin, one in Glasgow, and one in Tokyo."
    Now, Nick's story does have some elements common with level 57.
    1. The international element
    2. Variety of whiskey
    3. Relies on the willingness of a friend to participate, for which he/she gets nothing in return
    4. Quantity
    However, there are crucial elements that separate these higher mooch levels from the lower: consistency and deception. If this was an every-weekend type deal, and if the waiter was legitimately deceived, then the level 57 argument would hold a lot of weight. But since this move does nothing for the mooch once he's returned home, and because he was definitely super obvious, he's much closer to a Level 15:
    "You have a friend who's getting fired from a grocery store. You convince him that it'd be a great "F-You" to the company if he stole as many bottles of whiskey as he can get his hands on during his final days. He doesn't drink whiskey, so it's all yours".
    Here, we see that the mooch has taken advantage of a peer's situation, has acquired a decent short-term supply, good variety, and doesn't owe anything in return.
    Thus, Nick Burns is a level 15 mooch. Logic.

    Hi there. I am a new drinker, and recently started binging your videos like crazy. I would love to get into whiskey, specifically bourbon and have been trying to find what I like. It all started by mooching Blanton’s (loved), and Woodford (alright) from my father-in-law. I then bought a Costco size bottle of Larceny (it had a cool bottle), but could not get over the straight acetone taste of it. So for months I have been trying to drink 1.75L of a bourbon I dislike before I buy anything new, and I am almost done! I am now looking at what my next bottle should be. Any suggestions? I have a big sweet tooth, so was looking for something smooth/sweet. Also I am not a big bitter person ( not a fan of coffee or beer for that matter).
    As an aside, I have mooched a scotch too (Ardberg 10), and while not bad, the taste of peat had me thinking i was drinking liquified moss. So I am not sure If I am a scotch fan.
    Thanks, and love the channel!

      In addition to the list, which is a good starting point, I'd recommend Wyoming Whiskey as an excellent Bourbon.
      For an unpeated Scotch, I always recommend Auchentoshan Three Wood; it has some caramel sweetness, but also some toasted barrel notes for complexity. However, I just had Bunnahabhain 18 the other day and it was so tasty! It's an Islay Scotch, but is unpeated and not smokey.
      If you like sweet, and if you can find it, you might enjoy a Canadian whisky from Highwood Distillers: Ninety, 20 year old. Reminds me of Shreddies with brown sugar ☺

    So help me get this right. To be a bourbon, it must spend some time in a cask (no minimum). To be a straight bourbon, it must be aged 2 years. And to be bottled in bond, in addition to other requirements, it must be aged 4 years. Is that right?

    Personally I️ think buying wine at restaurants is for suckers. Don’t get me wrong I️ love me a good wine bar, but whole bottle pricing for what you can experience at home is night and day. I️ see that happening with whiskey pours now. $12-15 for Buffalo Trace, $18-23 for Bookers. Hopefully your good work on this channel feeds into the minds of those people paying those outrageous prices and the effect is restaurants pricing their bottles fairly. Do you guys find yourself giving in to the markup? If so are you satisfied or does it come off as a bad choice in retrospect?

    • @WhiskeyVault
      @WhiskeyVault  6 років тому +1

      I'm always willing to have whisky with dinner or at a bar. If you're in for bargain hunting you shouldn't buy anything at a bar except soda. I figure the price of whisky at a bar is partially paying for the experience of the evening itself.
      but having 700+ fancy whiskies at my disposal has completely altered what I choose in public. I mostly go budget whisky when out and about.
