** 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?

Give Rex some Johnny Walker Red tell him it's expensive and rare.
Put a quarter pour of Johhny Red in the empty macallan M bottle and tell him it is the last drops saved souly for the mooch
@@eatalotmorebeef Absolutely!
This would make my soul happy. Johnny red is the only whiskey I of could not make myself finish.
@@mattburchett6921 Whiskey that good should be shared. Especially with mooches of that caliber!
Daniel's "F*ing someone while wearing a monocle" face and pose quite literally made me fall out of my chair with laughter.
This is one of those episodes where both the somm and mooch win.
Even if the poor man's blend could not be replicated, I stand with the somm. Still have respect for the mooch though.
@@Furry_Viking is Switzerland apparently
Not often Preistess of Peat. But it does happen from time to time. With that said though, don't we need both the Somm AND the Mooch? Thoughts?
@@Furry_Viking well.. Daniel was able to have a few episodes on his own... Rex couldn't pull it off on his own when Daniel was sick... So there is that evidence.....
Fair point.
Mooch needs to chill about that 1815
Appreciate all the great videos. I've learned so much and look forward to more reviews and often like the frankenwhisk(e)y experiments you guys pull off in the vault, even though this one didn't pan out ( only says how complex the art of blending can be).
I love the Daniel stories and enjoy the crazy antics; but especially when they're well balanced, because both complement each other so well that keeps us engaged. Keep the awesome work going!
I started my whisky journey from a few years ago only from the most common/ popular blends ( Chivas, J. Walker) until I was gifted Nikka by my wife once we moved to Dallas... ever since I've read up on whisky and your videos have guided me through better and different complexities of whisky -Laugavulin, Laphroaig, Coal Ila, and just recently acquired the Sir R. Patterson's Shackleton blend which I really enjoyed-.
I've discovered a universe of flavors that I used to only get from gin (10 years ago I started to create my own gin from at home I) I feel it only prepared me and proved all the more useful in my appreciation of whisky.
I've watched your videos for a while now and only just wanted to thank you and hope I am one day able to attend one of your courses.
For everything... Thank you, you magnificent bastards!
the term is astringent. grapefruit has an astringent finish in the mouth.
You're not wrong, but I would associate astringency more with a tannin dryness on the palate as opposed to grapefruit's bitter, slightly sweet tartness. If you're referring to the rind/pith then I'd agree, but at the same time that could apply to any citrus fruit, not just grapefruit.
I just finished the same bottle, but it was 18 yr. It was magnificent. In fact I finished it 3 days ago and haven't been able to bring myself to do a bottle-down ceremony yet.
These are some of my favorite videos. The story time is amazing because that's what most of us do when we share a drink with friends is we share drinking stories. Good stories, good whiskey what more could you ask for?
Adam Curry?!? He was a famous DJ on Dutch radio in the 80s/90s and did music programs on Dutch TV!! He had a great radioshow called "Curry and Van Inkel". What a small world it is!
As a fellow clan Campbeltown member, this video soothes me. MOAR
Daniel, please tell Rex just 'shhhh'....
Nice try on the poor-man's blend. Shows how amazing the work of a good blender at the distillery/bottler can be.
And Daniel... NO 1815 for Rex. It's WAY too special for the wannabe-mooch to claim it on such paltry grounds.
October 9th, 2012, I had the misfortune of finding my father deceased in his apartment. It is an experience that still haunts me to this day, but the thing that stuck out most, is the emptiness in his eyes. Seeing the difference in his eyes, that has been the most compelling evidence to me that we as humans do in fact contain some sort of soul. Whether it be a religious thing, or just our consciousness, whatever it was, it wasn't there anymore and it was haunting.
I bring that up because you could see the dimming of the consciousness of Rex, as if he has died a little inside, and one can only assume it's because he was denied his Ardbeg. I wish the affliction that Rex suffered from right now could be fixed with something as simple as more cowbell, but alas, it's clear what ails him is the dying of his soul and the only cure is a pour of the Ardbeg that was denied and caused this.
DANIEL WHITTINGTON - Not only for Rex, but for yourself, I implore you to help cure Rex because I don't think your gentle soul could withstand the crushing weight of causing the loss of life of another man. So for Rex, for the pweeble, and for yourself, GIVE THE MAN THE ARDBEG.
That night sounded brilliant, would be an amazing surprise party
fantastic guys !
I am pleased with the Springbank cameo!!!
This has been one of my absolute favorite episodes yet, I challenge you to make a blend of 3 or more of the most aggressive whiskies in the vault. Bourbon, Scotch...well I'm guessing it will be a combination from these two types as I can't think of a really aggressive offering from anywhere else. Make the demon whisky...do it.
We are still sticking up for you, Daniel. #DanielMonth
I'm going to the distillery this weekend to pick up a couple bottles from yall, I'm taking a firearm class with another youtuber and figured I would try to hit 2 of my favorites in the same weekend. Hope I see yall there!
You guys crack me up😂😂. Great episode!😊
You can't roll the end of that bottle into Rex Month. It needs a quest all its own. Rex must climb Mt. Mooch to achieve that final pour.
Damn. I really liked that story :D
I want to see a blend episode in which Daniel actually tries to blend a poor poor man's Fireball.
I don't think I'll forget Daniel's monocle face, I laughed my ass off
It's been said on this site in a few episodes that a half empty bottle is losing its strength, and therefore some flavor, through evaporation within the bottle. Now if this expensive half full bottle has been nursed for, I think it was,four years it must not taste as quite as good as it once did. I've used that philosophy to finish a few bottles faster than I used to, and well, THANK YOU BOTH. So please for the sake of excellent scotch and magnificent bastards everywhere DRINK THIS BOTTLE!
When Rex pulls that "fuck you with a monocle" line, you can actually see Daniel WILLING himself not to do a spittake because the whiskey is too good to waste. Impressive.
Lmao the monocle bit has me laughing out loud in front of the computer
I've watched all your videos, some of them multiple times. I think we talk about Gene almost as much as the whiskey
So happy to see the insubordinate, churlish guy still here. The people approve.
I tried bowmore in my infinity bottle and exactly what happened here. It DESTROYED my blend. Had to write Bowmore and express my dissatisfaction with their product. This was the 18
I have been watching you for a month or so and have changed the way I enjoy whiskeys. I am looking to have good representation of all the types of scotch in my collection. Do you think you might be able to put something together for the intermediate levels. Thanks for the content.
If you will not give the dark mooch the whisk(e)y he pleases, give him something that will quench his unsettled appetite for Ardbeg 1815. Possibly something by someone who owns Ardbeg, something "rare" a Glenmorangie Signet if you have it may do the trick.
I was born in 1993. This whisky was meant for me! You mind sharing guys?
Rex is the voice of our generation! 🍼🍼🍻
Please never deny us unappropriateness because when I asked somebody to get their mind out of the gutter it's just so mine can float on by.
second... like Laphroaig....
As of right now I am running for Office my only platform is give Rex the Whiskey 2020
Can a really good whiskey go bad from more aging?
Get down to O'Shag Hennessey's Office!
Love the toast plez start ending your videos with a toast very classy
We need a redo
It hurts every time you bring out some super rare/old/expensive whisky like that. Please, I can't take it anymore. Leave them be!
Since your on very high end stuff, what creates the oily residue on the glass in higher end Whiskey? Thanks
Not an expert, but i'm pretty sure that's from higher oil or sugar content, depending. Higher end USUALLY mean older and/or higher proof (usually cask strength). Less water to dilute the oils or sugars.
Oiliness in whiskies comes from fatty esters & congeners that form during distillation due to being an azeotropic solution. Oily whisky doesn’t denote quality at all, just that that particular whisky was most likely copper pot distilled, and non chill filtered.
Hey guys... Could you review Oban Little Bay please?
Resist the Mooch!
Anyone know if they’ve reviewed Chattanooga 1816 Bourbon? Would love to see it in a video!
I have noticed that you always have bottled water on hand when you are drinking whiskey, is that because the tap water is not safe to drink or do you just prefer bottled? Or is it maybe because it is easier to keep bottled water chilled?
I agree the mooch is not mooching in the great methods of mooch. A true mooch should be able to obtain it without Daniel even realize he is giving in. Stay strong Daniel.
Rex, you got a one-on-one with Gene because he wanted to give you his undivided attention, which only makes you better.
We need to bottle down a fancy whiskey. DO NOT DENY THE MOOCH.
So... What was the final recipe? Sure it's not the Springbank 20yo that you were shooting for, but it still sounded like you liked it. 😁
Malted Man Cave would gives his pinky toe for that bottle of SB20
Some number that's not first
Go team Daniel.
Hey guys I think instead of trying to change the way you review, which is is still cool, I think you should just change the camera angle! That would be super cool. Maybe even change every video or so.
Have to ask, how are you keeping the whisky good? You have said befor that a Whisky that is opened and over half empty should be consumed within months, now you are saying that bottle is over 4 years old. Hasn't it gone to shit being kept so low in a bottle for so long?
As it is Rex month, Daniel. You have subjected yourself to pain and suffering. Therefore, POUR REX THE FUCKING WHISKEY!!!😂😂😂😂
Top 10 NAS whiskeys please
Ardbeg
Leather armchairs would class it up 😉
Why is Rex not on the wizard academy website
what was I doing in 1993? Being born.
Same
I was hot off the press
@@nicholassaliwanchik510 Rockin' a rat tail and watching fucking Lamb Chop.
Is this what happens when a Mooch Extraordinaire becomes a baby mooch again? He throws tantrums that his mooch powers aren’t getting the best whiskey in the vault. That eagle screech is starting to sound like a nursery just before nap time.

All I can now think of is things that would cause you to loose control of your monocle.
Rex month is too short. #RexYear
#savethesomm
hoo deh bowze? yew deh bowze.
Ardbeggers can't be choosers.
Rex, the evil stuff is upsetting...
Pick up two of these for the vault:
www.wayfair.com/commercial/pdp/novica-colonial-honey-leather-folding-chair-nvc6887.html
They are leather chairs for story-time, and they are classy AF, but they fold up to save precious vault space. There are three left in stock, so hurry!
You're welcome!
The mooch wouldn't fire Daniel. Daniel was the first on this channel lol
Oh my God they read my msg
If you're starting with Springbank 18, it's not poor man's anything. :)
Casey Williams its compared to the price of the whisky they are trying to imitate
How drunk is Rex?
*Dad* *bod* *Saturdays*
"FU with a monocle". Brovo.
J. Riddle bourbon please. No research beforehand.
REX MONTH!!!!
Let’s NOT have daniel pour Rex that fucking whisky! Just to spite him! Haha!
POOR MANS LAPHROAIG LORE!!!
Sadly, I think next year, most of the people are going to be opposed to Rexmonth. You are failing the people Rex.
this feel like a filler episode
The whole thing feels like filler... All this hype for nothing.
I actually like the way they changed the reviews, but I find the whining irritating. It's not like they couldn't plan what they're going to do off camera and then let the ad-libs free.
I have a feeling they don't do anything without a purpose
@@prairiedogs001 Hype for nothing? This is build up to Rex announcing that he's a Level 1 Somm!
I hope Rex hasn't become a somm... Can't be a mooch and a somm... We must have a mooch!
I’m watching this right before calculus
Leave the Somm alone!!! And yeah you guys need some nice leather chairs for story time.
So Springbank 20: good for those who like leather, and dad jokes. So some kind of leather daddy?
Comment
so i'm watching the episode, i keep shouting "put it back in the box" hoping they don't accidentally knock it off the box.
DO NOT POUR HIM THE WHISKY. But, pour him some of that pumpkin spice bourbon I left you all and then tell him it's "that" whisky.
He must be denied the Ardbeg forevermore
The baby mooch thinking he can wear the big boy mooch pants; no whiskey for you!
Rex, think you are losing the will of the pweeble.
don't do it, its a trap!
Inviting multiple people without telling the group is brilliant. If you're like me no one shows up and you can save yourself of social embarrassment.
Totally stealing that.
U guys are beautiful
Of course you can't reproduce Springbank. It was silly to try.
I miss the old Rex, before the Board of Directors snobbery...He was fun, lively, could it be....that he's just...getting old?
#TeamSOMM
No no moochy moochy
Anyone had this? Found it somewhere for under $750 and really tempted to break the bank.
I think he should have forced him to do poor man's fireball... goodluck
review Proper
"poor man's blend..." Goes onto use $100-$200 bottles of scotch 😂. BTW, more bite and sherry? Where's the SPRINGBANK 12 CASK STRENGTH!?!? that's exactly what I get from sb12.
