He's done it. Rex has Mooched the channel, the distillery, and Irene Tan. But in all seriousness, with you both all the way. Can't wait to see what comes next!
@whiskeychicken you won the iternets best comment ever@@@
agreed@@johnwilhoite8507
🤣🤣🤣
Best comment is best!
Does anyone happen to know what happened to the tribe's FB page? I can't find it anywhere, it's like it's disappeared...
You two pretty much literally started my whiskey journey 5 years ago. I still want to support you both. Thank you so much, and good luck. Here's to the unknown, you MAGNIFICENT bastards.
Daniel and Rex started my whiskey journey too, back when Rex just began to understand whiskey in reviews with his ridiculous necklace. What a journey ❤
Same!
Same two
Same three
agreed
Honestly I never realised that Rex was the boss instead of Daniel, he plays the mooch so well.
You made us your friends. You stole our hearts. You drank with us. Thank you two bastards for this community. ❤
Rex, you absolutely have permission to show off more people. Daniel is exactly right, people coming and going is perfectly normal, as long as they're leaving for the right reasons - that's what matters!
Totally agree.
I also agree, I just ask with those who leave for greener pastures at least say goodbye to all of us beforehand.
100% agree!
Got chills at the end when Daniel handed the sledge hammer to Brianna and walked out.
Did you notice he didn't shut the door behind him? They left a good pause at the end where he could have came back and closed the door.
I took it as it being open for him to come back in if ever he can.
I swear I teared up when Rex hand him the hammer.
@@leeknowlton7303 They didn't finish the toast.
ARE YOU INSANE? BANANA + HAMMER? WHAT HAVE YOU DOOOOONE? 😂
I’m not crying, you’re crying! 🎉 Thanks for all y’all did. Excited for what’s to come!
Hey! That's what I was gonna say! lol.
To Daniel: It's been a great journey. You'll do amazing things and it's been amazing to witness everything.
To Rex: You don't need permission for anything. You've earned the respect and admiration to make these decisions. Stepping Stone is an excellent name to adopt. It's amazing to watch the journey of every individual that comes in and moves on. It's part of the experience.
To all of you at Crowded Barrel. I've watched your videos for a long time, but it's this episode that has convinced me to formally join the tribe on Patreon. This channel is what made me adventure and experiment to find the whiskey I like. It's what drives me to try brands I've never heard. I look forward to the new adventures and where the future takes us.
Well, that was emotional. Didn’t expect that today.
Thank you, Daniel.
Yeah. It's going to take a few weeks to adjust to this.
“I don’t chase unicorns, I make them” Irene 😂🔥
Irene has joined the battle!!! Que SSB music
Rarely does a RUclips channel legitimately make me tear up. Daniel you will be missed. I don't know what else to say. Best of luck on your future voyages!
Honestly cried at the end. Have been watching since the beginning and honestly the episodes have gotten me through some real shit. I honestly don’t know if I’ll be able to continue to watch. It’ll never be the same. Thank you Daniel for giving someone who has severely struggled with anxiety a channel to escape and find a community.
Farewell Daniel. You will be missed on this channel. Your humor and wits. I look forward to watching you on the whiskey vault. Hearing your stories about the wizard academy and your whiskey journey.
Truly the end of an Era.
Thank you.
Hopefully he will be on the odd episode now and again
I moved to Japan about 5 years ago and gradually this channel became my refuge to listen to some good, old-fashioned, friendly American banter over a drink. Living in a foreign culture, it was a connection to a life and language I had left behind. I had no idea how strong that connection was until today when I suddenly felt like a part of my very being was ripped out. Words can’t express my gratitude to you guys!!
Just 4 mins in and I'm floored by the origin story. Never knew how much rex and his family had to do with this. Bravo. Thank you both for getting me into whiskey.
It reminds me of an old quote from Rex’s favorite drinker Winston Churchill: “This isn’t the end. It’s not even the beginning of the end. But it may be the end of the beginning.”
Cheers, Daniel!
And here I thought that was a quote from a Twilight Zone episode.
I am a grown ass man. But here I am crying in to my Bourbon. Thank you both for an amazing journey.
I have learned so much from both of you.
Crying into your bourbon, we call that the poor mans Islay.
I can admit when I get choked up, and this one got me for sure. Lots of memories in this video.
Yea, I feel this. Still trying to figure out why exactly. I hope the channel stays as good as I believe it will. I will miss Daniel.
Back to the first days of the Whiskey Vault Channel, when Daniel did his first Advent calendar tastings, I started my Whiskey Journey with you all and I bought a bottle of Lagavulin 16 as you couldn't stop talking about it. I couldn't drink it but over time, I learned. I learned so much, I started teaching people about whiskey and everything drinks. I now work as a consultant in the alcohol industry.
That bottle of Lagavulin 16, I kept. As a memento of how far I came in my whiskey journey but it only had maybe two drams left. I'm drinking that today.
To signify the end of your journey together. I know it's not the end but just a different path but I can't tell you in any other way how much you all have influenced me. Thank you Daniel and Rex for all you've done for the entire MB community. To Fighting, Stealing and Drinking 🥃
Please pay Bri however much she wants to keep her. Her reaction keeps a smile on all our faces
Keep the Bri at all costs!
Amazing woman! Allways make me smile and laugh when I watch her on here.
Also highlight the people who have left! Bring them back on an episode and show off what they have done and accomplished since leaving. It only looks non mutual when there is radio silence.
I think it also makes a lot of sense as we have already seen the Master-Apprentice dynamic move from Danial-Rex to Rex-Bri.
The format of a knowledgeable person exploring the whiskey world with an enthusiastic amateur lost some of it's utility as Rex gained knowledge and experience.
Bri is the perfect new student, and Rex has stepped up to be teacher.
It's also fun to watch Rex to somewhat mellow out and play the Straight man in the Straight Man\Funny Man comedic dynamic, whoever, in this case the Funny Man role is filled by a Funny Girl.
The gimmick has worn off for a while now
I raise my glass to both of you. And to Daniel, all I can say is "may you drink with us, friend"
This is lovely!
I’m not crying, you’re crying…you two will always be linked in our hearts.
It’s funny, in the last two months I have been struggling with change. With my son showing symptoms of neurological issues and in turn turning me into a temporary stay at home dad, I wasn’t ready for this episode. This channel has been my escape for years and being able to be apart, even as just an audience member, of the amazing shenanigans that this tribe creates has been a pleasure. This episode truly helped me come to terms with the thought that even though change happens, they’re just stepping stones to a new chapter, good or bad. Takeing it a day at a time, I want to say thank you to Rex and Daniel for everything you bring, the joy, and laughter is our(the tribes) escape. I think stepping stones is a good idea Rex, follow your heart and take us on the journeys you have. We, as a tribe, have your back.
You probably won't be able to read everyone's comments, but I just wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed the time you guys have shared on the screen together. It's more than whiskey, it's watching a dream grow and change. Thank you both for inviting us all in, and I know that this next turn will take us on another amazing trip.
I think they will read everyone's comments and appreciate them. What an amazing community.
Wow, I had no idea. I 100% had it in my head that the business relationship between Daniel and Rex was the exact opposite of what it actually is 🤯.
Yep. I always thought Daniel was the boss.
Same.
You thought Daniel would keep Rex around if he had power over him?
same
@@blairhoughton7918 Oh, he would. The exasperation is all in good fun and Daniel is just as goofy as Rex, he just hides it... i can't say better, but more.
You all have done what most would consider the absolute best job at being honest, highlighting the interesting aspects of whiskey (whether that be people or process), and made it fun to follow along and learn along the way. This is nowhere near the end my friends. You just wrapped up chapter 1. Cheers to both of you and everyone on the team.
Did they inspire you to make your own distillery?
When I first found this channel it was about a month or so into the pandemic and it was so great to have a relief from the bad news. To see people who wanted to try new things, learn, and build something was uplifting. Watching two people be friends and work together on an awesome project having fun along the way made me hope for a time when I could have a drink with a friend again. Thank you Daniel for showing Green Spot it’s one of my favorite whiskies now. Thank you both for the hard work and for having a philosophy about people building each other up and growing together.
I too discovered the MAGNIFICENT bastards during the early part of the pandemic. The signature toast grabbed me by the throat. Here's to stealing, fighting and drinking. 🥃
I wish you all the best Daniel. Thank you both for inspiring me and showing me the beuatiful world of Whiskey. When I was 18 I was gifted a 375 ml bottle of Glenlivet 18 by my uncle. I was fascinated by the fact that the spirit was as old as I was. So I started reading about the production of whiskey and found your channel. Today I'm 25 and work in a liqueur store and have since found a passion for wine and beer, but it all started with whiskey. So thank you for being the beginning of my passion.
You’re such a phenomenal storyteller, Rex. Often times we see the fun, silly side of your production and that creates the caricature and persona that’s needed to balance the scenes that you two shoot together. But this video truly demonstrates your talent for capturing the threads of a narrative and weaving them elegantly and poignantly together into something beautifully heartfelt. As much as this was a goodbye to the way of things we grew used to, it’s also a powerful reminder that there’s so much more to come. Can’t wait to be along for the next chapter of the journey!
I couldn't have said it better
Many thanks and good luck to Daniel
SO very well said. No need to worry about the MBs we WILL be here to support both of you. Sure will miss the interaction between the two of you, but understand the reasoning behind the decisions made. Thanks for explaining it to us in a most, as @Swadragon1 said "elegant and poignantly" way.
May the best of our past be the worst of our future. -or- May the saddest day of your future be no worse than the happiest day of your past. Slainte!
100% I also love the videos where Rex gets a bit more serious. The jokey mooch persona is fun but seeing him care so much about Crowded Barrel, his staff and the community just hits on another level.
I could not have said it better. This got me all teary eyed for sure. Love you guys!
So many poetic words in your description of telling.
Watching Daniel walk out of the distillery was an emotional moment which is an odd feeling to have from Australia. what a great journey it has been to witness! I cant wait to see what else we have coming!!! HERE is to, two of the MOST magnificent bastards Daniel & Rex!!
I’m a 35 year old man, and that ending made me cry. May you drink with us.
You two started my whiskey journey. Grateful you’re both going to still be creating great content.
The impact these 2 have had on the world of Whiskey is outrageous. Collectively, every distiller should be thanking them for boosting sales and making whiskey cool again. I was 30 when I first caught on to this channel as a beer drinker and now I regularly buy whiskey. I can only imagine how many more have taken the same route. Best of luck to Daniel is his future endeavours.
I'm sad. The two of them playing off each other is what made the vault. I hope everything works out.
Daniel will always be part of the tribe, becuse he'll carry it with him wherever he goes, and we will carry him with us. Cheers, gentlemen. Hell of a run. Here's to the next.
I’m a dirty Rum loving heretic but I’ve loved watching y’all for the past few years. I wish y’all luck in your next steps
I always thought Daniel was the boss not the other way around
Me too!
That is exactly what a truly successful entrepreneur does.
Daniel is the Boss. But Rex was the employer ;)
Hopefully Daniel will be on the odd episode of tribe. Like will it distill. And hopefully Rex will be on the odd episode of vault. Instead of a rare whisky Friday. Make it a Rex Friday.
It sounds like Rex isn't allowed to legally be involved with the Whisk(e)y Vault videos anymore. But I totally agree that it would be great to see Daniel appear on the Whisk(e)y Tribe channel as a regular guest!
@@scottbristow3370 fingers crossed. Being honest. I loved the back and forth between Rex and Daniel on the vault channel. Not sure if it will be the same with just Daniel.
@@scottbristow3370 Perhaps if it was a video with people from other distilleries Rex could take part, as it wouldn't be promoting just his buisness.
@@GAS180.Maybe Daniel can get someone from the school to give it a similar dynamic.
@@GAS180.Completely agree. It was the mix between them that made it great. Hope I'm wrong...
Omg. This actually made me tear up a bit. You guys, this dynamic duo, had become a safe place that got me through so much the last few years. From the pandemic and it's lock downs through to more personal trying times, I could always watch you two together and just feel like I was at the pub with some mates. I have recommended so many people to check out your channels just for this very reason. Needless to say this came as some what of a shock, and to be honest I didn't know it would effect me on such a level. Like a mate having to move away, or leave work for a new opportunity. Your happy for them and their opportunity, but you are also a bit sad on the inside because you will miss what you had. You guys are so phenomenal at what you do. The benchmark as far as this style of content goes in my opinion. You have achieved so much and only going on to achieve bigger and better things. Thank you for everything you have given us over the years. You clearly weasled your way into a lot of our hearts. Best of luck with all your future endeavours...and personally, just thank you again from a bloke all the way in Western Australia. Your shows together gave me a feeling of friendship and solice when I most needed it. I'll be watching along as your journeys continue.
Cheers! 🍻
This whole time we thought Rex was just trying to mooch from the vault, but this mfer 4D chess'd us all and mooched the whole gd distillery! Bravo sir!
Salud Daniel! You'll be missed you Magnificent Bastard.
I'm just relieved neither one is completely disappearing from the internet and we'll still see each from time to time
Thank you Dan - you've been a joy to watch with the rest of the crew over the years. I know you're not "gone", but your presence will be missed.
I’m sad to see Daniel go because his personality, humor, and his passion for whisky is what started my whisky journey. I’m speechless but I will still watch this channel every Saturday and I hope for nothing but great things for Daniel and the Tribe!
Been watching the Vault and the Tribe videos for about 6 years now. I had started collecting whiskies a few years earlier, and found I was able to purchase many of the bottles once I had seen them reviewed, or others from the brands core ranges, so it was very handy having some reference or guidance over the years as my collection grew (over 350 bottles due mostly to the Vault videos). Rex was new to the videos when I started watching, and he was the perfect foil to Daniel with his whiskey knowledge base. You two have such a great chemistry together.......much the same way, when I think about it....to the old TV series The Odd Couple....you are similarly so different as they were.....but you always had fun, and made learning new things about whiskey fun. And of course I would be remiss, not to mention, the hilarity, the high jinks, the shenanigans and tomfoolery you both brought to the Tribe episodes. almost every episode had me busting a gut at the stunts you pulled off every week...it was like watching a more family friendly version of Jackass. You have had some amazing help in the background, and I have to say Fancy Dan was fun and had great chemistry with you in episodes he made cameos......Brianna is another winner......such a character....she cracks me up...I hope she stays around forever! ....well, nothing lasts forever, and change is the only constant in life, so it is with a sense of sadness, learning that Daniel and Rex wont be pinging off each other every day.....if feels like the last episode of M*A*S*H, or the Jerry Seinfeld Show....or the Big Bang Theory.....so many laughs and tears you brought into my everyday, you are like family and will be missed. It was a good run, be proud of what you accomplished....and thanks for the memories you beautifully magnificent bastards!
Honestly, respect to both of y’all. This ain’t good-bye, it’s the welcoming of a new era, and it’s not Dan leaving because of negativity, it’s to bring in new positivity. I can’t imagine how difficult it’s been for y’all, and I hope y’all’s new work flow is healthy and beneficial for all involved. Y’all have been my solace channel over this past year, and seeing all the progress you guys and the teams involved is incredible to me. I wish you all the best, and that this next phase is something that is beneficial and joyous for everyone.
Ladies and gentleman. THIS is what growth looks like. You guys have done amazing work. Built an amazing community. Bring amazing MBs together. Don't be sad that it has ended. Be happy that it happened. You guys are the reason I got into whiskey tasting as a hobby, and the reason why I am intrigued with whiskey as a business and a science. Going to miss the Rex and Daniel shenanigans, but I'm glad that you were able to add to your repertoire with other guests and keep it going. As long as content continues to be made, I will surely be there to watch and learn. Cheers to the Original MBs. The Somm and the Mooch. And most importantly, Cheers to the community and legacy you guys have worked on.
Emotions... Lots of them! You guys literally. changed. my. life! I started watching back in 2019 and you awakened a passion in me that I didn't know I had. Because of you, I was able to meet some of my closest friends. I was able to help create a successful local whiskey group. I now even work as a brand ambassador for an AMAZING local distillery... all because of you. I have had so many amazing opportunities and experiences as a result of you both and I cannot thank you enough! It's amusing how we have never met, but feel the furthest from being strangers. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything. You will always have my support!
I'm not a whiskey drinker, but I've watched both channels from time to time since you guys are local. I love to head out of the city at night and go for drives, and passing by Crowded Barrel and smelling the coffee always brings a smile to my face. It will continue to do so :)

😢 Taught me so much, Thank you Daniel and the channel for helping me out from the start of my whisky journey. Much love from Down Under. Cheers!!!
Sad we never got the end of moochMan and dramboy.
Damn, Daniel.
Thank you for the years of amazing education, the laughs, stories, quotes, and so, so many whiffs with the garbage can.
A toast, to a wise old wizard, may his glass never empty, and his heart remain full.
Cheers, you truly Magnificent Bastard
See you in the Vault
I get it... I hate it... but I get it. and I am still gonna stick around. Good luck to both of the channels and hope this one ends up right for all involved. agan, I hate it, but I am glad you found a way to move forward with this.
I've purchased so many bottles based on your videos and found new favourites. Thanks for the journey.
I don't think this is the end of a road, but a turn after a dead end. You guys saved my life and I won't forget that, so thanks. You'll keep going and be stronger than ever.
Literally chills at the ending. Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.
Now that earworm is in my head again.
Rex and Daniel, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the model you have, you should actually be proud of the fact that you have helped people develop skills that allows them to move on. It makes for a healthy and happy environment. I've worked at places that did their best to keep talent on hand and not let them go, they took it to such extremes that people burnt out and just "rage quit" and completely walked away from their field because it was traumatic for them. I was one of those that walked away because of that situation, from two very fulfilling careers.
While change can be difficult and sometimes sad, you guys have spent so much time and effort proving to us that the future brought by these changes will be exciting, happy, and DELICIOUS! I'm hopeful for the future both of you will bring to the industry and I'm thrilled to see Irene join the team. I am with you, and I drink to you all.
I can't thank you both enough (and the rest of the team) for helping me through the early days of my whiskey journey. I found y'all a few months after I decided to start tasting and learning about whiskey. I still look up your Whiskey Vault videos to get an idea of what to expect before buying a new bottle.
I think you should bring those team.members on. Show them off. It gives us more to appreciate about what goes on while also giving them the ability to be seen and for opportunities to happen that might not otherwise. Seeing people leave is always a bit rough. But the knowledge, joy and entertainment these people bring are what makes this silly yet educational channel what it is. Magnificent.
Dangit y'all. I can't believe I am shedding tears over a RUclips channel. I have been a viewer for a few years now of each channel, and I am both sad to see Daniel's departure but I am also super excited to see what each of you will go out and do. The end of an era for sure, but hoping for so many wonderful things for both of you and everyone behind the scenes.
Beautifully written and edited episode, Rex. Thank you.
My heart is filled with sadness but I am looking forward to all that the future brings. Thank you Daniel for being such a whisky badass.
You guys are truly the best. I have never been a huge whiskey drinker before watching you guys, but for the last couple years of watching your videos I have learned to appreciate the art, science, and community of whiskey. Although it is sad to see the separation, I stand with this group and community no matter what the future holds. 😊
I’m with you…but more importantly…. Thank you, Daniel. It’s unbelievable what you’ve done for the community over the years. Thank you.
Your vibe attracts your tribe Rex, show those getting ready to launch; and do it proudly.
An excellent tribute to Daniel and the channel, the tribe and all you’ve built. It’s always bittersweet when our babies are grown and it’s time to move on to new adventures, but I look forward to meeting new people in the next phase of this channel!
Being a stepping stone like you are is a beautiful strength. I love seeing the people making the team getting involved in videos, showing how much fun they have working at CB and getting a chance to show their talents. It's the end of an era but thank you so much Daniel to have shown us that whiskey love doesn't have to be snobbish and that understanding what you're drinking is the key to unlock new levels of appreciation. Here's to the new era 🐻🦅🥃
This hurts.........Daniel was the reason I got involved with the Whisky Vault. Hopefully, all this will work out. I'm super stoked that Crowded Barrel will be working with Andalusia!! Thank you so much for all your knowledge Daniel!
You'll be missed, Daniel. You're the one who attracted me to this weird and magnificent RUclips channel. I've learned a lot about whisky from the perfect synergy between you, The Somm, and Rex The Mooch.
Transparency and authenticity always are the best paths. My brother introduced me to the channel as we both enjoyed drinking whiskey and smoking cigars together. I lost him in January this year to cancer and find joy and connection to him through your channels. Whatever you both are doing, I am behind you 100% Thanks for helping me keep great memories of my brother going every time I watch.
Thank you, Daniel. And you too Rex. I've been watching since I was 17, over 6 years ago. You guys were great role models, you taught me far more than just the ways of whiskey. I wish you all the best
As a Canadian I can honestly say, I'm with you 100% of the time, and I so look forward to how this movement spreads....Launching people further, instead of holding them down like so many places do....thanks for that and the world should thank both you and Daniel for this innovative stepping stone...❤❤
Im gonna have to give credit to the party that made me aware of this part of the internet. The Modern Rogue's visit to the Wizard's Academy to learn about Whiskey. Those collabs have cemented a lasting bond and overlap of the people watching this, and the viewers of the Modern Rogues.
All good things come to an end but when one door closes another one opens. Your honestly, transparency a love filled hearts is admirable and ALL companies should strive for this. All people should strive for this. You guys are the best and we are with you! Much love from South Australia!
It's been quite heartbreaking. I think that even someone watching this very episode as a first one could break into tears. I've been following you two on both channels for almost 4 years now and I've laughed and learned a lot. The best is still yet to come! Greetings from Argentina.
I'm not crying you're crying
No like for real
Thanks Daniel. Best wishes.
You guys have been my go to for years. A constant, consistent, fun set of guys who I know that twice/three times a week I got to watch and enjoy. Your vids weren't always about the whiskey for me - it was often just a free therapy session in the background. I can't express what you've done for me properly or fully even assess the loss due to this separation. I'm not blind; this was bound to happen at some point. Thanks for the time we (the audience) were able to have.
Again, good luck Daniel. Spend more time with your family and those lucky souls at the Academy.
#fucktheirs
P.S. - Brianna is the only one I see that can successfully go toe to toe with Rex (besides Daniel) that I've seen so far on this channel.
❤
I have feeling Auntie Irene will make Rex level up his whiskey game.
Well, there went the waterworks. Congratulations Daniel, and wishing you all the best as you continue on your journey! Rex, keep launching! Such a wonderful way to look at everything- a stepping stone for growth and improvement. My husband and I have truly enjoyed watching over the years, learning and laughing with each new video (Tribe and Vault). Hoping one day we can visit! Thank you.
I'm not sure how I started following the channel but I'm glad I have. This episode def got me in the feels. My wife won't drink whiskey but that's ok because I can drink with you all! Cheers and Farewell you Magnificent Bastard!
Well dang, this is gonna be weird but I guess let's see how it all shakes out. On the Whiskey Vault side of things, mm the stories idea is worth playing with, but should it be one person or two people on camera? Because the ability to do back-and-forth discussions was a big thing in keeping the videos lively.
Cheers to Daniel!
A few things...
First, I think when people come and go, we as the audience fully understand that these things happen and we celebrate it. It's additive rather than subtractive. I think what is important is that there is resolution for the community, even if that's two or three minutes of a video where the two of you are talking, saying what the next opportunity is (if appropriate), and wishing them well. And if there's bad blood, just addressing it and wishing them well rather than hiding it.
Second, I can't wait to see the kinds of stories that come up on the other channel!
Third, I hope Daniel shows up from time to time, even if it's cameos. The two of you have such a great chemistry on screen.
What a beautifully well done way to close a chapter of Crowded Barrel. I did get a little emotional at the end 😂 . Crowded Barrel has such a special place in my life. It's almost like my little secret in the whiskey world that I get to take friends to and introduce them to this wonderful community.
All the best to Daniel. The bottle release events he ran are my favorite whiskey events I have ever attended. Much due to his energy and knowledge and of course our wonderful community. Now I'm going to have to attend som classes to get more that energy in person (poor poor me😂).
To Rex's question on putting more CB people in front of the camera, do it brother!! Part of CB's story and it's special place in the whiskey world are the wonderful humans you help get into the industry and how CB and it's community (you know we root for them and will support their next endeavor) propels them forward to bigger and better things.
Cheers cheers cheers!!
I would not be a whiskey enjoyer without you guys. I didn't know there was more than Jack and Jim. Because of yall I know what to look for when I want to try something new. I'm glad while saddened to see something new with this adventure, but I know great things will come moving forward.
Not gonna lie, this was a wee emotional. Daniel, thanks for all the years of knowledge and shenanigans. Good luck as Chancellor. May Châd always guide you.
Daniel - I’ve learned so much from you over the years whether it was part of this collaboration or on your own. Rex may have adopted the eagle as his totem, but I look forward to watching you and the Wizard Academy soar in the future.
The story-telling, the vision casting, adding value to your team and community, the culture of commradery all shows in this video. What would be a hard message to communicate to your audience, especially being crowd-funded, was communicated incredibly. I am in a creative leadership role where I often have to champion and galvinize vision, and this video was SO helpful to see how well vision can be casted to a large community.. On top of that, being a MB myself, I am thoroughly inspired after watching this. Well done!!
Best of luck, Daniel! It's exciting what is going on in your life and I hope you keep landing in places you never thought you'd be! Rex, keep doing what you're doing- can't wait to see what you and your team come up with next!
The two of you have been around since the start of my entire whiskey journey six years ago, and were the reason for the first thing in had in common with my now father in law. I will always watch your new videos and will forever support however I am able to. Thank you Daniel, for everything you have done and good luck with everything you will do.
Daniel, you deserve my FIRST EVER RUclips video comment. I’ll miss you a lot!!
You made me feel that I can be part of a community that is not even in my native language. I wouldn't like whiskey if it weren't for my friend who introduced me to this world and introduced your channel, but I doubt that I would have continued and enjoyed this trip so much if it weren't for you guys!
My heart broke a little, I felt this change so personal that I'm a little afraid of the future... I'm with both of you!
And, Daniel, ¡muchas muchas gracias!
For someone who has followed you for sooooo long (before you reached a 1000 subs) this hurts a bit. You explained it perfectly and it also makes sense. But you guys are the reason I have started my whisky journey, the reason I have tasted well over 300 incredible whiskies. I am very thankful for that. And I will always be around to see what new great things the tribe and the vault and all the magnificent bastards have in stock. But this is very bittersweet.😢😢 It feels like the end of a long journey and not knowing what comes next. You are a dynamic duo and that made it special . Change is natural but also sometimes hard to accept. Especially when the change comes before I had the chance to make my trip to the fang and feather 😆 but I hope when I make it there it's a day where the both of you are their, so I can thank you properly for the entertainment and knowledge I gained through you two. Thank you for the wild ride and all the whiskies I found because of you both of you. And hopefully the future will be even better and brighter.
Thank you Daniel ❤ for all the fun times and all the knowledge you brought us here. For the hilarious shenanigans and the tears of laughter , truly thankful for the ride
When I was stuck at home with covid, I binged Whiskey Tribe and became a big fan. All I can say is that this sux. It's like have our favorite co-worker just quit and move away. I need a drink.
You guys were one of the first channels that I started watching regularly. I was so amazed watching the videos in the first room and saying.... "wow, how many bottles do they have there". The chemistry of you two was in sync, making the videos entertaining, educational, and funny. Thank you Daniel for the years educating noobs like me in the art of whiskey making. Best of luck to you.
36:25 - I think if we are going to look at launching people then we need to celebrate each launch and make that part of the ethos. Where they are going, how we can support, looking back at their time here. Give them a send off fitting a company that launches new products, people, and trends.
A "magnificent bastard" style ceremony and launch party! I like it!
It sounds like both sides of the community the tribe and the vault have become so large and successful that it was no longer feasible to split y’all’s attention. Congratulations. You guys should be proud of the amazing things y’all have built.
I've been out of the loop for a while, and I sincerely apologize for that, but you guys have been a part of my life for several years now. Yes, Rex, I am certainly with you. As one door closes, another always opens and I am excited to see what lies ahead. Daniel, you are a great inspiration to so many - not just whiskey enthusiasts, but to business-minded people and even guys like myself who just enjoy watching knowledgeable folks speak bout their passions. I don't even drink, I just love learning about different things and watching you guys nerd out has taught me so much. I wish you the best, bro. A talent like yours has to breathe, it has to evolve, and I think this movement will help you to do that. Spread those wings, good sir. Much love to you both.
I'm not crying. You're crying.
Feels like then end of an era
Onwards and upwards!!!
All the best Daniel. Thanks for everything you’ve done in the tribe.
And hell yes, introduce the rest of the team. Sure we miss Emma, Fancy Dan & Deb, but I couldn’t be happier that they are off pursuing new and exciting challenges, it’s been a huge privilege watching them grow and develop alongside The Crowded Barrel. Let’s see where the next generation go to. We’re all in it for the journey.
This video was so well done. I got emotional because of a video on a RUclips channel about whiskey. I’ve watched you guys for ages, and through this channel Daniel and Rex have taught me everything I know about whiskey and a bunch of stuff I forgot. Cheers, Daniel. Thanks for everything.
Govm’t always getting in the way of a good time. Excited to have Irene picking the profiles and hearing Daniel telling stories! Rex we need a ton more shenanigans!
Congratulations to you both for outgrowing your status quo and moving forward to bigger and better things for both The Whiskey Vault and The Whisky Tribe. I wish you both continued success. Thanks for all the fun and entertainment over the last 6 years. I'll be watching both of you in the new formats.
That was very emotional... Didn't expect this journey to end... Daniel, you will be missed buddy...
This is NOWHERE near the end!
THANK YOU DANIEL!
Keep fighting(k), stealing(k), and drinking(k), with us!
Now I want to see an update on both Emma and Dan, before you show us the NOOOOOOOBS.
I only discovered you guys earlier this year and I’ve been frantically making up for lost time spending hours catching up on videos all across the last 6+ years on both channels. The Crowded Barrel peeps have become beloved household names around here and it is always exciting to see what comes next in each chapter of your story. My sincerest and best wishes to Daniel as he steps more fully into the light on a different stage. 🙏🏻 God speed to Rex and Irene and the rest of the crew as your corner of the whiskey world continues to evolve. Rex, by all means show off the rockstars in your crew!! 🙌🏻 Also, I was doing alright until you referenced the Robert Frost poem, then the tears started coming. 😅😭
Like many others I found this amazing pair of channels out of the curiosity of the whiskey road. I knew nothing and learned and grew to where I am now roughly 6 years later. I was lucky enough to enjoy one B Ball and it was amazing. Had conversations and laughs, enjoyed life with a new view that even strangers can have your back if you come for the same cause. I learned rules and respect for the nectar that none of my family members showed me. I am very grateful to both of you and the whole community. Cheers everybody, to the ever expanding horizon.
It's sad, I will miss the Whiskey Vault as a place for reviews of Whiskey. When I first started my journey into Whiskey in March of 2020, I relied on you guys to help me understand what I was experiencing and journey into new and exciting whiskey. I'm glad it isn't that you guys are stopping everything, but there is definitely some sadness here. I am 115 bottles into my collection now, and I wouldn't have gotten here if not for Rex and Daniel in the Whiskey Vault and Whiskey Tribe reviewing whiskey. Thank you both for the journey.
