** 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?

Guy yells to a stranger across the river, "I need to get to the other side".
Stranger yells back... "You are on the other side".
Jimy Young Lol! Oh man....we need more of these jokes! Lol!
I liked the story Daniel. Do not pay attention to Rex. Best description of the Whiskey Rebellion I have heard.
Nice Whiskey Rebellion history lesson.
I bought this last fall at a wine and sprities festival in Bedford, PA, and I can personally say that this Peated Bourbon is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!! I am going to be ordering 4 more bottles shortly. This has become my favorite bourbon... period. I agree that in the end they stopped trying to put it into a classification and compare with others. Just drink it! I have, and cant wait to get more. Please give this a try, and I doubt you will be dissapointed.
I'm so glad I found you guys. Last year I decided to go on a quest to find "My" whiskey. And now I have found the wisdom that may never happen. Now to Liberty Pole peated bourbon. I did not know what peated meant. I opened the bottle smelled it a bit. Liked it. Tasted it and was taken back. I did not expect that at all and after a few seconds I smiled to myself and said aloud 😈"I like it". I look forward to more of your videos. Thank you. Also trying to support all of my home state distilleries during this time. And from now on.
Born and raised in Washington PA. The whiskey rebellion festival is amazing every year. Its nice to see my little town represented every once in a while.
There's a distillery near us called wiggle. If you guys haven't had any of their stuff I'd me more then happy to send you some.
Also in the tribe my name is Paul Glemba.
Gotta disagree with Rex here. The Whiskey Rebellion is a great story and woefully unknown to most people. Damn. Now I want to see a Drunk History version of it... (or did they make one already?)
The more I drink of it, the more I love it!
As the bottle opens, the toasty and smokey oaky qualities really start to shine.
These were my notes from the first time I had tasted Liberty Pole Peated (and I've consumed much more since then!!!):
Nose:
Vegetable glycerin and roasted corn. BBQ pork ribs, KY style, pit smoked in a spicy vinegar-based sauce.
Taste:
Medium mouthfeel with a slight slickness. Slight cayenne spice (heat) is noticeable immediately and throughout, but not intense.
Deep into the drink comes oak-smoked green apples, Guatemalan coffee, vanilla extract.
Leathery tannins. Texture quickly becomes meaty.
Salted pretzels emerge, showcasing a minerality and toasted malt profile.
Finish:
Heavy on the back palate, with those leathery tannins heavy and clinging, satisfying between sips. Gentle warmth.
White pepper flavor and after-aroma.
Overall:
An intriguing drink with noticeable peat qualities, though in a different fashion that the Islay you may be used to... yet equally savory!
The fresh flavors of a spirit, with balancing sweetness and added flavor from that heritage Bloody Butcher corn, with a new way of peat on top.
This is fun and approachable.
The pretzels broke you!! :P
Nose: 17/20
Caraway seed, butter, charcoal, and partially-burnt logs from an open fire doused by morning rain. There’s a noticeable rye spice, and the unique earthy character of the Bloody Butcher corn. Heavy oak toast notes. No medicinal qualities, but the peat mingles with other earthy and smokey aromas very harmoniously. Inviting!
Initial Taste: 12/15
Bloody Butcher corn is so noticeable, earthy and robust. All of that caraway seed is very loud in the mix, but balanced by a darker quality of malty sweetness than your typical bourbon. On first crack, you can taste the iodine and bandage from the peat, but it’s so well integrated with deep maltiness and toasty barrel char, you could miss it if you’re a peat-head.
Body/Mouthfeel: 7/10
Medium in body, but a sip easily becomes chewy and puckering, tannic, stimulating all areas of the palate noticeably and urging salivation. This is an experience, quite pleasant if you enjoy that type of thing (and I do, though many may find it a bit jarring).
Taste: 14/15
Chewing it, the corn sweetness we know to look for presents itself, but again, alongside a deep and dark caramel malt syrup that is decadent. This decadence keeps in check a fair quantity of aromatic spice as well as heat. The depth of the peat influence is sooty on the mid-palate. Certainly robust, but undoubtedly well-coordinated between bourbon base, flavor grains, barrel char, and peat, of which all display themselves proudly and loudly in exemplary fashion.
Finish: 17/20
Long and medium-dry. Here is where we notice the oil, as the corn sweetness and oaky char tannins and smoky phenols cling to the tongue, especially the back, begging for a gulp, but at the same time continuing to please the palate and contribute aroma and flavor well after consumption.
Value: 8/10
For in the $50-60 range, many might opt for another product… except there are not many like this product on the market! That being said, you’d pay similar or more for other Islay Scotches or American single malts. Considering this, and how this is unique in any case, it’s certainly a value.
Overall: 10/10
It could be bias of my personal preference for smoke and spice, but what touches me about this drink is how the sweetness and dark maltiness interacts with those qualities to yield a drink absolutely full and complete in profile and addictive in quality of its balance. It’s my most-frequented bottle, even winning out against staples I hold in the utmost esteem, like Laphroaig 10 and Russel’s Reserve. Choose it if you like bourbon, if you like smoky, and if you like bold flavor-it’s unapologetic and screams “freedom” somehow.
Alexander Szokolyai. Sooo if I understand what you are saying correctly, it tastes like the campfire ashes the morning after a drunken kegger party during a college geology field course in West Texas?
Thanks for the review and kudos for the absolutely awesome re-telling of the whiskey rebellion story! Remember folks, there was never a rebellion over vodka!!!
Hell yeah! Thanks for the whiskey!
Good luck with your distillery project!
No there wasn’t a rebellion over vodka, but vodka fueled one Hell of a disruptive revolution one October many years ago! 😉
All I want to know is what got omitted from Daniel's story. I feel like there's a lot more. It's like the scene in the Breakfast Club when Judd Nelson is crawling through the ceiling telling a joke and then falls through the ceiling before the punch line. I've been waiting over thirty years to find out what happened to the duck and now I'll have to imagine what could possibly have been so funny and too risky to say.
I like them as well. May I suggest #PeatyEight ?
Hahaha if you like long stupid stories! I love you guys!
I love stories like this. Keep it up Daniel!
Pittsburgh! Heeeyyyooooo. That's where I live...oh boy 🤗 Hahahaha.
Pretzels not keto friendly. Must manufacture Magnificent Bastard Meat Snax
Yinzer (Pittsburgh) here born an raised. If you guys ever come up here you can visit all the major locations of the whiskey rebellion. They are within a half hour drive of the city. And there is a whiskey rebellion festival held every year in Washington.
Nice to see some yinzer love on the channel. I miss living in the Burgh!
Man I love those long stupid stories.
Reminds me of a time when I have just recently acquired my whisky “grasshopper” (my good friend and classmate back in medschool), and while we were having a drink I got too excited and gave him an entire lecture on whisky production just from the top of my head and even gave an intro to the different regions. Needless to say, this tired him out and towards the end of the night he told me, “next time, just tell me about the whisky we’re drinking specifically. I almost felt like I was back in med school when we were listening to long boring lectures while we were drunk.”
Matheus Gloria Cool story, bro!
Rex, light a match in the glass, you don't have to heat it up. They burn the oxygen out of the glass, then quickly place it on the skin. This creates a vacuum, and the glass sucks your skin/muscle up inside. Give it a try during a review for us! That sure would be interesting.
Would have been interesting to see you try to mix something heavily peated into a classic bourbon to see how that would work out and compare it to the Liberty Pole, but you'd probably have to give Chad the rest of this bottle to make it up for him. I enjoyed the story though! I have strep so I was not drinking with you gentlemen today but I did find a caramel bourbon ice cream that is tiding me over well enough while I recover.
Tanisha Ouch! Be careful! Untreated Strep can eventually result in heart damage. Keep on top of it!
Yep! Went to the doctor the first day and I'm starting to feel better now! Counting down the days until I can drink whiskey again 😭
Tanisha Happy days then! 👍👍👍👍
THANK YOU for a magnificent program. My husband and I have learned a lot since stumbling ... oh, that doesn't sound respectable ... since discovering TWV. Cheers! Julie
J Sacco Respectable? Geeze, just take a look at Rex.....respectable! Hah!
Danny, it's goddamn time you write a damn book with all the whisky stories you know. I'd take 3 of them.
This video had me rolling upon the floor, eyes watering with laughter similar to the first time I stuck me nose too far into the whiskey glass for a curious whiff.
Little late to the comment page on this video, but love what you guys do. Keep it up!
Daniel: Inspired by this one I decided to try my hand at some SCIENCE! Not unhappy with the result, I recommend trying 1 part Bowmore 15 Darkest to 3 or 4 parts Buffalo Trace. Turned out to be a tasty little experiment.
How is it possible that you guys haven't done anything from the creative whisky company?
I would recommend: The Creative Whisky Company Single Cask Exclusives Speyside 8yo
or any other.... they're all sooo good
A wondrous whiskey story never stop being you Daniel!
Rex, what exactly is it you like about Daniel? The free whisky? These stories are awesome!
I love your stories Daniel keep them up
Great story!!
YAY!!! Can't wait to see the King's County! I just spotted in locally in Calgary, AB. Glad you have it waiting to review :-)
Always enjoy Daniel's stories.
That was a very entertaining episode !!! Good work guys.
Greetings! Daniel and Rex, Somm and GLORIOUS MOOCH! I have learned a lot and love your videos.
I am new to whiskey and I only have right now "the Classic Jameson" and I greatly enjoy it. My goal is to get the "Fantastic Four" of whiskeys, a Irish, a Scotch, a Bourbon and a Japanese, for Starters!! My Whiskey Foundation if you will. I am soon to get married and I am going to buy a Bourbon and Scotch in honor of the occasion and being a close Neighbor in Oklahoma and agreeing with you completely on the taste of the Jameson I come seeking your wise counsel!
I want a nice classic Kentucky Bourbon and I want a barrel busting Scotch!! And I am not afraid of a nut kicker, a Jameson was my first whiskey but my first drink was a "Crozan 151 aged Rum" yes 151 as in 75% alcohol!!! Let me say that it had great flavor but IT WAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING SHORT OF GETTING HIT BY A FIRETRUCK!! Nevertheless I enjoyed it and still do.
And if you will join me with a Jameson in a toast for my special occasion I will be forever grateful! "Here's to Love, Laughter, Good Company and Great Whiskey!!"
Rex and Daniel - seems like many members of the tribe are having magnificent babies. This community already has the best ceremonies and traditions... why not add one more. We need a MAGNIFICENT BABY ceremony. Maybe there’s a specific whiskey always associated with a birth? Along with (of course) a song to go with it?
When my son was born 6 weeks ago, i would pass the time late at night watching Vault and Biscuit videos. After chatting with some other MBs, seems like this is pretty common for new parents in the tribe. Seems only fitting that a ceremony be established.
... I also realize that this is my first UA-cam comment and I probably shouldn’t be making demands.... but I thought Rex would appreciate my attempt to speak “for the people.”
Cheers gents. Keep up the good work. Thanks from all the new fathers you’ve entertained at the wee hours of the night.... and who you’ve inspired to spend their hard earned money on whiskey instead of diapers for their newborn children.
Hey Daniel and Rexx, Greetings from New York City!
First time subscriber, and commenter. Friday, I was with a group of friends, after a night of geekery, we decided to go to our local watering hole. A wonderful place called Windfall tavern. That night I achieved my first successful mooching! A woman the bar was watching the NCAA basketball tournament, Rooting very loud for Syracuse University (they lost by the way.) Anyway, the woman said if they win, she would buy us and the bartender a shot. Anyway, I was sipping on a single of Bullet bourbon (one of my favorites btw). So, the game ends, the woman pretty upset, decides to buy shots anyway. That night, I had a glass of Jamison cask mates. Rexx, *kneels before you* What is thy bidding my master?
Ps, Rex sorry for the misspelling of your name, and the grammatical errors.
I come for the whiskey, I stay for the outrageously interesting stories with attempts to tie them to the whiskey being reviewed in question from Daniel. Rex commenting on the annoyance of not being able to explain his mootchness of the whiskey all the while just wanting more whiskey.
Cheers you magnificent Bastards! Sláinte!
You you guys are awesome but would you please do a video on Chivas Regal the 18-year or the extra or the regular that be awesome.
I love it when Chad inserts his own little clips.
Greetings, you Magnificent Bastards! I am the mentioned Aaron of Pittsburgh Whiskey Friends, a Founding Father of the group, but also a Knight of the Whiskey Tribe... well met & huzzah! I must admit, I am surprised you did not find the peat in this one. It is light, like a campfire on the wind, but present none the less. Me thinks you may have partaken too much of the Johnnie Walker lol There is something even better (IMO) than a Peated Bourbon coming and it is delicious and when available it shall be yours! If you ever find yourselves in Pittsburgh, you know you’ve got Friends... cheers!
Aaron Hajduk it could have been due to what they had before. I’m super intrigued about that whisky now, definitely on my to try list. Thanks for sending it in.
Terry Dolan it is very unique and agree is neither a traditional bourbon nor Islay. It is it’s own beast, and a tasty one at that... cheers!
Hell yes, thank you, sir! Glad to have you around. I'll try this one again cold just to make sure I'm not missing anything
Rex talking on the cupping they do in the Summer Olympics and Daniel turned that down.. I imagine and anticipate seeing this on the nest Whiskey Biscuits episode... just saying. Don't disappoint Rex.
I loved the story.
Bower Hill bourbon has Daniel's story on the side of the bottle.
Damn it. Where was this distillery 15 years ago? It is 2 blocks away from my former frat house. Oh the shenanigans we could of had.
Gentlemen, the time has arrived for a glorious two week jaunt across Ireland and Scotland. Daniel, while in country, what are your Top-3 buys.... Rex, not counting the selections that Daniel is most likely going to tell "great" stories about, what are your Top-3 in country mooches you would aim for? Thanks for all that you guys do, can't wait for your picks to help augment an already outstanding trip to the isles. Cheers!!!
Sorry Rex. I love Daniel's stories.
Love this whiskey
Geology joke for Rex.......
A geology professor is out in the field with a group of students. One of the students sees an interesting rock and picks it up. The student scratches his head in frustration and finally asks the professor what kind of rock he has. The professor doesn’t miss a beat and says “That’s a leverite!” The student says “A leverite? I’ve never heard of that type of rock!” The professor takes the rock out of the students hand and drops it on the ground and says “ I told you it’s a leverite.......as in “leave-her-right” here.”
🤣😂🤣
On a whisky note, though, I had my first taste of The Classic Laddie last night. And let me say... I"m a fan! Tonight I'll be sampling Auchentoshen American Oak.
Geoff Gaebe Laddie is NICE, Auchentoshen is not as complex..... it’s sort of meh (my humble opinion). Avoid Aberfeldy....too expensive and tastes like crap
That pretty much sums up my feelings on the two. The Auchentoshen wasn't bad, it just wasn't interesting. It was cheap (by NYC standards) so I don't regret buying it, but wouldn't re-buy. The Laddie was just happiness in a Glencairn.
Geoff Gaebe Yep! Beware, I learned the hard way that there are a lot of “blah” single malts out there on the market that were (or are) also used in blends. They are used in blends because they are like a musical instrument that can only play one or two notes ( not very complex or interesting).. On their own they are at best boring and even can be just down right bad (IMHO). When blended, the resulting mix is acceptable to even good. Aberfeldy is one of these lame whiskies. It’s used in the Dewars White Label blend, but to me on its own it tasted like burnt rubber and never got better. Some people say it’s really sweet smelling and tastes like cotton candy. There are people who love some of these whiskies, but because they are frequently charging a modest to healthy amount for their crappy whisky I take exception. Buyer be ware is what I’m getting at.......watch, read, listen to reviews of whiskies before dropping cash on something that might be detestable. I’ve even started trying tasting whiskies at bars neat and with a little water later on instead of buying whole bottles.....it’s lots cheaper. Oh, and by the way, good luck finding consensus on every whisk(e)y. It’s a matter of taste (and some people have more taste than others). Lol! 🤪
Hey guys, can you talk about hip flasks on an episode? Do you use them yourselves, and if so do you condone using them to take the more ‘up market’ whiskies with you, or do you think the flavour would be ruined or made metallic-y? I’ve only ever really used them to take cheap stuff to parties in the past. Also, I like to add a dash of water to my whiskies. Is it a dumb idea to add water to a whiskey in a hip flask hours in advance of drinking? (p.s. I have recently started delving deeper into the world of whiskey and you guys are teaching me a lot without the snobbery you sometimes find, so thank you for helping me on my whiskey enlightenment! )
Jay Harding Ethanol is corrosive so if you use a metal flask make sure it’s stainless steel and do not leave whisk(e)y in the flask for long periods. I would avoid plastic flasks because the plastic can affect the flavor of the alcohol. Also make sure the flask seals well and doesn’t leak....nothing worse that loosing good whisk(e)y or wearing it instead of drinking it. I’d rather just take a small glass bottle and fill that instead of a flask but that’s just my preference. If you are driving somewhere, put the flask in the trunk or someplace that you can’t reach easily. Cops love it when you have a flask on you and they think you are driving drunk. Once the flask is empty, rinse it out with warm water and allow it to dry. Be safe!
Best intro ever...
I had the same experience, ate some Pretzels and suddenly all I tasted was sweet notes... I stopped eating Pretzels with my Whisk(e)y from then on...
Starting at 9:42, I was literally belly laughing so hard. Good stuff!
Wonder if you guys could at some point make a video going into some depth about whiskey awards, cause I certainly see it flaunted around a lot promotionally, this whiskey won this! and that! at this place I've never heard of or that one.
Would love some know-how on what awards are the most, respectable.
love the story Daniel, keep Rex's ears a' bleeden
Daniel I love your stories! Balls to you Rex!! ;-D Love both of you guys but I love the stories. :-)
What do u guys think is the best 21yo whiskey for its price? Thank you guys for the great show every time!!!
Poor Rex, every time he has a great thought to talk about Daniel interrupts him.
Brandon Garrett I think that’s a potentially debilitating case of what’s called “Rexus Interuptus”...........it causes frustration and eventually chronic depression.
Re: cupping, so long as you can heat up the interior of the cup (lighter, lit cotton ball, etc) and quickly place it on your skin to create an airtight seal you can for sure cup your nipple. I won't recommend using a Glencairn though, the glass might be too thin...
Don't like the Copper Fox?! But, its smoked with apple and cherry wood... If you ever make it out to VA, you need to check out their distillery at least. All their barley is hand malted on premises.
I love their process, love their hearts and commitment to the craft, and I back them all day as brilliant people. Just kind find the palate for their whiskey.
pretty good drunk history rendition but you forgot to mention that GW also started his own whiskey distillery with his "own " recipe
Got my attention.
Hey guys, I found you through the modern rogue (I'm sure you get that a lot) but I wanted your opinion. I'm a junior in college and have never had alcohol in my life. Not even a sip of my dad's beer or anything. Nor have I ever had the desire to drink, but after coming across your videos I have developed a fascination with whiskey. The history, the different ways it is made, everything. Now I am contemplating trying it out but am apprehensive because of my inexperience with alcohol. Unlike other college age people I don't plan on drinking in excess, maybe a taste every so often. Do you think I should take the leap or should I just hold off for a bit?
If you're of legal age in your area, I'd start by trying it at a bar before you go buying a bottle. Don't be afraid to have in a cocktail first, or add ice/water. Or wait if it makes you nervous. The best whiskey is consumed with friends and family, so it might be nice to wait to have a whisky partner to join you on the journey.
Whiskey Vault Thank you for the advice!
Ever considered Haig Club? it could make an interesting video. They are fairly new and growing popular in the UK, they make a single grain scotch which I love but I've heard many compare it to spicey water, could be a hit or miss.
Harry Sinclair Nope, never heard of it.......sounds kind of weird........is it Dutch? Lol!
Eric Schwab nah it’s Scotch, distilled in Scotland and named after the House of Haig not the place haha, it is an odd one because it specifically is labelled as a mixer but I’ve gotta say is pretty good neat
Harry Sinclair Interesting. Haig is or was a huge whisky producer in the past. Sir Douglas Haig (WW1 fame) was one of the distilling Haigs. I looked at the largest liquor store in Denver and I couldn’t find your whisky. Glenlivet Founders Reserve has also been marketed as a mixer as has Deanston Virgin Oak. I think the hipsters are in to cocktails in a serious way so the Scotch producers are trying to cater to that. Kind of sad in some ways.
A geology pun for Rex......
“Gneiss is not schist”. 😂😂
Have you guys had the 10 year old Laphroaig cask strength? It almost hits Ardbeg Supernova levels... you'll find plenty of peat!
I care!
Rex when are u gonna review the white russian?
Twas a great story
Shock!! Did Rex just ‘waft’ a pretzel under his nose?!?
How pretentious.
Daniel, I think it's time you tell us the story of your hat you wore in the Longmorn episode. The over one hundred year old one?
Gr8 story
If i remember correctly you guys like the Glenfiddich 12 year old right? Have you had the opportunity to taste the IPA experiment? I was able to get one earlier this week and damn, it is really good. I was a bit afraid that the taste of hops would be to powerful and take over it too much but to my satisfaction it really blended in well with the overall taste resulting in a wonderfull whisky. This is easy an whisky that I would recommend for people to try. Also if you get your hands on it how does it compare to the 12 year old (sadly I don't have one of those at home right now to do a side by side comparison)?
Actually, a pretty good story. Probably not as good as what was bleeped out, maybe move that one to the Biscuits channel? And now I'm hungry for pretzels, dammit!
First, don’t listen to Rex. It was a good story Daniel. Second, for a great peated Bourbon you must try J. Riddle from Two James Distillery in Detroit. Finally, I have been noticing lately that Rex is following the path of Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison in The Doors. Look at the early episodes and the hair is nicely cut, the beard trimmed, and he is wearing nice button downed shirts. As the episodes progress the hair gets long, beard unkempt, untucked T shirts and maybe a bit more belly as well - sorry Rex, though Jim may be proud. Ride the snake.
U guys r awesome
you can't look for bourbon or an islay. it's neither of those, guys.
This product is a sum that is greater than its parts!
Ryan: "This is an unboxing, apparently"
Dave: "yeah"
*Right, as if Dave knows what an unboxing is lol*
Fun fact, at the time of Washington’s death he was one of the largest whiskey producers in the country.
Steven Hild He did it simply for the money.....like a cop that starts a grow operation once recreational is legalized. Pension protection program.
oh i almost forgot besides liking the video. This aint Ardmore Legacy...
I heard somewhere that Washington raised more troops to fight the rebellion than he did to fight the English. Priorities.
Okay lads, recommend me a Whisk(e)y. So far I've been enjoying Glenmorangie The Original, and Wild Turkey. Probably looking for a Bourbon this time around (I started with Wild Turkey 86, then the Glenmorangie 10, probably looking for one about 20AUD more than the Glenmorangie as my next whisky).
A Blue Quaker Buffalo Trace or Angel’s Envy are nice. Makers Mark is really nice too. Buffalo Trace and Makers Mark are going to be easier to obtain if you are in Australia. We have hundreds of craft whiskies here in the US worth trying, but they aren’t widely distributed outside their home state or region. Go on a whiskey tour of the US sometime......you might never go home! There are 90 distilleries in my state of Colorado alone,
what do you think i should get for my 21 birth day iv been watch for a few months.
Iv here you talk about monkeys shoulder from time to time but i don't think i have it in Ohio what should i try for my 21
Every time I read bastard I hear Rex's voice in my head
Holy god - Daniel - that story is painful. GET TO THE GOOD PART!!! GET THERE!!! I have no whiskey nearby... but I desperately need some to get through this whole episode.
That being said - I love you guys and Daniel’s long stories are strangely endearing...
... dear god, he’s still talking...
I feel your pain, Rex. I can see you’re struggling.
Dear.... GOD.... stop Daniel.... STOP... STOP.... STOP
Rex “I hate you so much”
This is NOT a fun or great story. I love you, Daniel... I do.... but man o man.... this is rough. Lol
I don’t know what was better, the history nerd story from Daniel or the look of agony Rex had.
I wonder how the taste would be affected if you guys tried it after having a peated whiskey and/or a bourbon
i enjoyed the story

Taylor Hopper That from a guy who hated whiskey and drank imported French wine to his economic ruin.......priceless!
Whisky Biscuits episode needs to show what all gets bleeped on here
I split lagavulin on my mouse pad and now my computer area smells like peat, Im not cleaning it because I like the smell :)
Sheriff Don’t let anyone catch you sniffing that mousepad......
Rexweek 2.0 suggestion: Rex shaves his head and makes a wig out of the scraps for Daniel.
Tim Impractical Jokers did this. Made Murray wear Q’s hair for a year.
That may or may not be where I got that inspiration 🤐
Guys I don't mean to spoil anything BUT there's a rumor going around this might be happening anyway. Thank you Patreon.
Tim go check out the biscuit
Andy Rosado Oh, it ain’t a rumor.....the gauntlet has been thrown down! Rex made the challenge and Daniel has to suffer the consequences.....as always

Glencairn Cupping, coming to a Whiskey Biscuits episode near you.
Quick correction to the Whiskey Rebellion story... they indicted 24 men for treason, 10 of them were captured and stood trial, and only two (Mitchell and Wigle) were convicted.
Thank you! Working entirely from memory is a bitch sometimes :-)
Especially if you are, shall we say, impaired?
Well, hell... if that was from memory, then that was impressive as hell. I had the advantage of multiple window. The Whiskey Rebellion is one of those fascinating events in history... especially bring the first time (Nd only one of a couple) that the President has actually led troops in the field.
Plus, as a bonus, it's always fun to watch Rex dealing with trying to learn something that doesn't have to do with him drinking. 😉
Good, someone sent that one in. I don't have to go looking for it. Hopefully the other 2 peated Bourbons will be next....hint...hint
Why isn't the wolf smoking a cigar anymore?
Dustin Beckman it started vaping.
Tell us another story Daniel!!!
Rex, be careful when you eat pretzels and try to say “peatyness”. Sounds more like a part of the male anatomy. Love you guys!
Best story ever 🙄
