** 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?

Dig the George Dickel respect here. The 8 and 12 are also great whiskys.
Love the business talk. This is the type of information I love to learn.
This has been on your back shelf for a couple of weeks. I've been hoping for a review. I really liked their distillery tour, and enjoy their #12 and 9 year SB products.
Sorry, don’t think I could convince the brand to use that idea. 😂 However appreciate you covering Dickel Barrel Select!
I just had some of this last night. I was thoroughly impressed with it.
The analogy you are looking for on the TN whiskey thing is: all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.
I just picked up a bottle of Dickel no 12 and I really loved it. Looking forward to trying this also
The chilling happens as they filter it through the charcoal. It is supposed to help remove excess oils from the whisky. I took the tour about 2 months ago.
Hey guys, as an Australian, I find myself being a rum drinker first (Dark rum, as it's more accessible and it is the spirit I started on) and Whiskey drinker second (I'm fairly new to the whiskey scene and have been using your videos to learn).
My questions are; Do you like rum, as a whiskey drinker?
Do you like any rum finished whiskeys? I know you didn't particularly like the 'Grangestone Rum Finish' but I feel like that was because it was Grangestone, not the rum finish. What about the Johnnie Walker Rum Cask?
And finally, is there a place for a rum aficionado, and whiskey novice, such as myself in the tribe?
Keep up the good work guys!
I couldn't agree more about what you said about small business. I owned a tattoo shop for six years and finally sold it because I wasn't getting to tattoo anymore. Now I get to tattoo everyday then come home and drink whiskey and watch you guys. Skál!
LOVE Dickel's typography. So old school.
I'm a member of the Whiskey Tribe but I just bought a bottle of the Dickle No8 I got it a wi bit over the price over the mark in the video at 23 dollars for a bottle but I'm indifferent as of now I'm not done but I wanted you guys tasting notes now that I've sniffed and sipped it a few times. I really do appreciate you guys. And as your neighbor in Louisiana you guys aren't your own country sorry Texas but MURICA
As a Texan I can confirm we are a country.
from California and even I know that.
Fantasia y imaginacion
Started drinking this whiskey back in the late seventies when I was in the service. Still drink it today as my inexpensive go to. Heard not only do they charcoal filter they line there charcoal vats with a cloth liner? This came from a guy I was stationed with that has family that work at the distillery. I can say the taste has changed greatly over all these years but I still prefer this over jack.. Nice review enjoy your videos..
I have PTSD every time you guys do the toast now... almost like a jack in the box lol. Thanks whiskey spirits
And that is the only Dickel I have not tried, so i need to go get it soon. Fascinating talk about the whiskey business!
As smooth as Tennessee whiskey...
Almost certain I read somewhere that Dickel uses oak charcoal instead of sugar maple, but can't find the reference now. The Lincoln County process only specifies charcoal, not a specific wood source
Dickel uses sugar maple charcoal. I love it. I’m not hugely seasoned whisky drinker thus far, but Dickel is my favorite so far.
I'm from Dublin, Ireland and I'm new to whiskey and this channel. Have had bourbons, scotch and of course Irish. I'm loving Green Spot but I'm wondering what my next move should be. Would love to try smoky whiskies but my palate is probably way too beginner for that. Keep up the good work on the channel.
I Love George Dickle, it makes you tickle. With they had it in Korea lol. Now I have to wait a few more months to enjoy it.
Well, my father's name is Jack Daniel , and my mother was born in Tullahoma TN (home of the Dickel), so I guess it's genetic that I like my Tennessee Whisky. Dickel Barrel Select was one of my first go-to "good" whiskys, mainly because it is so friendly. It's still a standard bearer, but I've enjoyed expanding my palate over the years. My first Laphroaig 10 experience was essentially R. Lee Ermey loudly explaining that I'm not in Kansas anymore and it was time to man up.
Questions going around about what's next and the resounding answer I hear is that it's going to be similar to craft beer. What's local, what can I only get here. Moving forward with all age spirits whiskey rum and tequila. What's your take on amari could it be possible to see that fall into the craft aged spirits sector or will it stay in shadows?
Great video guys! Dickel needs to use that marketing idea.
Woodinville sometimes does (and just did) their bourbon with applewood staves in the barrel.
You mentioned at the beginning that you reviewed Willett. Did you mean WL Weller or do we have a Willett review to look forward to this week?
Do you think that bourbon as we know it will someday stop being made or be forced to change? The rule is they have to be aged in NEW oak barrels and if the demand for bourbon keeps rising the price of the barrels might rise too, since the supply of oak will start declining, eventually forcing companies to make some sort of change.
Please stop thinking about the whiskey apocalypse.....have a drink!
Plant more trees, drink older whiskey, at some point the trees will catch up.
That's a valid concern. Whisky is distilled much faster than trees can be grown. The real question is how much of an impact does oak barrel construction have on oak forests? Also there are many different strains of oak, some fast growing, some slow, and they all add different characteristics to the whisky aged in them.
Hey dudes, I saw an interesting comment on Reddit suggesting you drop glass marbles into a partially empty whiskey bottle to consume volume and raise the whiskey's surface level, reducing headspace and preventing oxidation. Do you think there are problems with this storage method, or is this guy onto something? I would think they might rattle around too much or even roll out while I'm trying to pour, which is the same reason I never drink my whiskey with chilled stones.
To reduce evaporation in industrial operations hollow plastic spheres are added to tanks and vats of fluids. They float on the surface and reduce the amount of the liquid surface that is exposed to the air. I would never use plastic balls or use marbles. I’ve used mineral oil in floor drains to keep the water from evaporating from the p-trap.
Woo, They finally asked my question. I feel like Ive been touched by the hands of the Mooch.
Chris Smallwood , so salty.
Not salty. I've been waiting for your touch.
Amrut Spectrum has a mish-mash of staves. Not the barrel staves inside the cask, but a "spectrum" of different staves to make a new cask.
It's too bad the SWA has decided they need to stifle innovation. I'm glad Compass Box still found a way to create Spice Tree, but I wonder if they were still able to hit the flavour profile they originally wanted.
Would be fun to see a side-by-side comparison of Spectrum and Spice Tree...for Science!
You mean something like a “rainbow barrel?”
Tradition is a huge part of whisky. I don't really want Scotland to innovate, other than to be completely forthcoming with what's in the bottle.
I'm happy with other countries innovating, go crazy. Let's let Scotland produce the stuff we love.
This sounds like it would be a super great base for a bourbon blend...
I'm thinking GD Barrel Select (3 bottles for the base), Wild Turkey 101 (1 bottle for the higher proof), Stagg Jr (1 bottle for the higher proof), Angel's Envy (10/12 bottle for flavor), and Blanton's (10/12 bottle for flavor).
Then letting those vat in a 5L barrel for 3 months...
Ok, I've decided my next project!
My local liquor store did a selection of this and got a hold of a 15 year old barrel. Shared a couple pours with my father-in-law (got him a bottle as a Father’s Day gift) and we both lost our minds. Its dark with molasses and gingerbread and has such a velvety mouth-feel. The epitome of smooth.
I'm surprised at the lack of salty and meaty notes in the Dickel...
Luke Holmes that is funny.
How's it going fellas I've just found your channel a couple of days ago and have really enjoyed the content. I have never had any Japanese whiskey before but after watching your videos I've been wanting try one and since my birthday is Sat. June 17th could you give me a your recommendations. Thanks
Favorite bourbon peerless bourbon and Jack Daniels
i love the toast at the end
TENNESSEE!!!!
If the density of the barrel wood affects how fast the whisk(e)y moves in and out of the wood and thus how fast the whisk(e)y ages, can distillers in the US use denser wood to counteract the effect of the heat and slow down the ageing, to get something that's more like scotch?
Business question: in the event of a contraction in whiskey market and its suppliers, will certain brands increase in value?
4:34 : Daniel's Experience with the normal George Dickel
It was 4 AM, as it often was driving down the highway as all aspiring musicians do. The band was asleep, and the bass player was humming what could have only been indistinct chord progressions from the Eagles that none of the other band members had heard before, despite listening to the album together.
As one often does in the ripe furrows of the night, Daniel had an itch, a longing really, for the sweet sweet comfort of his childhood. You see, it was Daniel's birthday that particular night, so he decided that the band wouldn't mind too much if he capitalized upon their stupor and celebrated instead.
The band was only 40 miles outside of Tupelo.
With great gobs of sunflowers practically overflowing from either cheek, Daniel pulled in to what could only be described as a mix between a local watering hole and a rib shack that smelled more like grease than any natural meat product. The sign on the door read, "Pilate's, stay as long as you like."
Leaving the engine on (it was the perfect gentle rocking articulation that the band needed in order to stay asleep), Daniel spat his seeds in the gravel and entered the bar not knowing what to expect. He was alone in the bar aside from a fellow with deep jawbreaker eyes in sockets as sunken as sorrow. The listless man stared down an empty glass, silently tapping a single withered finger on the rim of his cup.
Daniel took the only other stool at the bar next to the gentleman and started, "Hello ma'am, I would like your finest Jameson. You see, it is my birthday and I'm an awful long ways away from home," to the bartender.
Before the bartender could reply, he dove into a mind-numbingly boring tale about his great adventures with his band and the reason he was in Pilate's bar in the first place. The woman did not have any Jameson, and instead poured a dingy glass to the brim with Dickel. She interrupted Daniel's story, slamming the glass onto the bar and sloshing liquid upon the whiskers of his then trimmed beard.
Fuck I wrote so much more and then it all got deleted. Oh well. If you want me to finish let me know
George Dickel always has a Flintstone vitamin taste to it
I'm attempting aging "bourbon" in mini-barrels (2,3,5L). Any advice on length of aging? And, would filtering through a charcoal be advisable? What would you suggest and where would I find it? Thanks!
Great video again!Glenfinnich 21 rum cask
I’m sure you guys will do awesome in the whiskey business just don’t let Rex have the keys to the distillery 😆
Are you referring to peg leg porker when you mention generic Dickel ?
I have been torn. I’ve had a hand signed from the master distiller bottle of this this on my shelf for 10 years. Do I open it and try it or try to sell it off? I am torn.
The whiskey in that bottle was put there to be experienced! Pop it open and enjoy....
I love me some dickel
I've heard this is also what's in the Kirkland Signature Small Batch Bourbon... Does anybody hear the same?
I think you should be able to do what you want! Introduce any creative way.
"Hello boys and girls... Let's try some Whisky!"
Cheers!
Have you done the Dickel rye yet?
Its gentleman jack. But better in every way but price.
So you get more wood with your Dickel?
Is it normal for the whiskey to be so low on the bottle?
Do burning chair bourbon!
I just tried some for the first time, it smells like nail polish remover to me & the taste.. well.. it doesn't suit my palette, I really like most bourbons but this one was a miss for me.
If you must use "new charred oak barrels" for bourbon, but makers 46 is using different staves (and I'm assuming they're in the sides of the barrels, not set in with the whiskey) is it still considered bourbon? If so, how many staves can you replace before this is not true?
Dirt Road Men Maker's 46 is still bourbon because the different staves are still new charred oak. Just not necessarily American white oak
So I went to Dublin some time ago and what I did was had many tasting while staying there, of course. And I really wanted to get myself a bottle of Whiskey as I got more interested in Whiskeys. For the past week I have been watching this channel almost 24/7 and I would like to know what is your opinion, or from the people down here. What do you think of my choice of Whiskey?
I bought the Powers Three Swallow at a Whiskey store in Dublin.
And later on at the airport I bought a small bottle of the Powers Gold Label.
By the way, I am just starting out with Whiskeys, so if anybody has any recommendations for a starter, please let me know :)
Alex Moes if you are okay with black coffee, then i'd recommend laphroaig 10. It's incredible how much flavor you get in comparison to the alcoholic after taste. Highly recommended.
Yes.....LaughingFrog 10
nope avi thank you for your recommendation. I like black coffee from time to time so I might check this one out
Eric Schwab Thank you
Then.......after Laphroaig, if you really like it and want more adventure, take off your clothes and put on a fresh hooded robe and head to the nearest grove of oak trees......you are about to join the Cult of Ardbeg (Ardbeg 10 or AnOa)! Nothing like the Ardbeg family of whiskies.....they change lives!
Dear sir(s),
I am a new Knight on Tribe and am probably misbehaving by posting this. I just wanted to mention that I left a long and convoluted question under the Tribe video about the drunk angels.
I mention this only to make sure that if I don’t get a response I know I am intentionally being ignored.
Rx: Lagavulin 16 while waiting for the oven, and Oban Little Bay with Shepherd’s Cottage pie. Serious seaside delishiousness...
Yes, but work in Talisker and Old Pulteney for dessert and a night cap and I’d say you went full maritime.
Ah time to drink some whiskey
A lil' Dickel do ya!
George Dickel in not in Lincoln County. It's in Coffee County. I live less than a mile from the distillery.
Barrel Select is my favorite American sipping whiskey.
I've seen this bad boy many times. Never tried, but maybe...just maybe.
Willett Dickel?
sounds like an episode of Good Mythical Morning
there is a souring process in making this whiskey as there also is to jack daniels guys......with exception of numerous items . one of which you guys mentioned , the maple syrup charcoal . but the souring process to the mash is what makes george dickel whiskies as well as jack daniels , unique . and is why to this day both whiskeys are known as sour mash whiskies . not bourbons .
I don't think sour mash whisky has anything thing to do with sour flavor. Per Wikipedia (and confirmed other places) "Sour mash is a process used in the distilling industry that uses material from an older batch of mash to start the fermentation of a new batch, analogous to the making of sourdough bread with a starter."
re-read above ,@@maboy1994
If they made it a flavor white whiskey for women the slogan would sell lol
Economics forecasting by the boys. What next?
We start creating international treaties
Daniel (not Dan) and Rex, first off I love your videos; The combination of Daniel's knowledge of seemingly everything and Rex seeming like someone with whom I can relate to more (aka, I don't know anything about whiskey) is very satisfying. I have one quarrel however, you guys make everything seem like it goes down so easy. After watching your review of Wild Turkey original and 101, I purchased a bottle of 101 and proceeded to have my ass kicked around my apartment by it. So I have a question, which whiskey first comes to mind when you have to imagine what would be the least objectionable to a younger palate? Keep up the great videos, Roll Tribe.
bugatidane , have you seen our top 10 whiskeys for beginners video yet? Sounds like it’s exactly what you’re looking for.
Rex somehow I haven’t till now! Thank you and I’ll check it out immediately. Honestly, I’ve been watching you guys more for the fun of watch you enjoy rather than searching for my own enjoyment! ‘Bout time I find my gateway whisk(e)y.
So, there was a story months ago a bort a rye produced in a small area but everyone who drank in that area bought it and a large co. Bought it's label and distribution national but it didn't sell so the closed the label. In the area people were hording it one guy bought 3 bots all he could get one to drink 2 to hold and resell he guessed fo a big profit.
This brings back 1988 and so many bad life decisions made at Ft. Lewis.
Fort Lewis College or Fort Lewis, Washington?
Eric Schwab Ft. Lewis, WA. I was there from '87 to '89. 2/2 Inf and then to 2/23 Inf after 2/2 was deactivated.
Man, back then I must have spent 80% of my money on booze and women. I wasted the rest.
Top Ten
See that bottle should have been a collectors bottle but they went cheep.for illusion of prosperity
"growingK" ..... i twitch every time...
Rex looks like a trucker in that styling mesh hat.
I feel like Dan never let's rex finish any sentences lol
Justin Williams , depending on who you ask - one of us is always interrupting the other 😅
Rex hilarious!! I love the dynamic tho!!
...alfuckingways...
Cool trivia on production of this whiskey 👏 - great job gents.
Cheers from South Africa 🇿🇦 😊🥃!!
what about this rumour of Irish whiskey shortage
listen to the most recent episodes of The Whisky Cast podcast. Mark Gillespie talks specifically about this, I believe.
7:48 -- "Growingk"
You already got beat to that punch line. There is a rum called Ron de Jeremy promoted by Ron Jeremy. Also a Carribian rum called Big Black D*ck
Speaking to Daniel's comments about what can happen to small distillers who may be forced to close because of infrastructure issues. Check out the latest from WhiskyCast on Cooper River Distillers: ruclips.net/video/RNfkAZ1k3x0/видео.html
They could do the commercial...have it be banned ...and then show it on RUclips! More people will want to see it..just because it was banned! lol. Axe-deodorant did that with a commercial of there's and got more free press just because it was banned! Consequently of course more sales! Everyone wanted to see this commercial!
Such. Good. Content. *takes sip of Evan Williams green label* Picking up something nice soon from a newfound store. Thanks for the inspiration fellas. Whiskey and business both.
Two guys, one Dickel?
Is it impossible to join the Whiskey Tribe Reddit? I asked to join more then a week ago and i still haven't had an response. D:
Any1 else having the same problem here?
Jeroen De Wit , it’s not open yet. Happens this weekend.
Aaah, seems my excitement got the better of me then :D
Then i will wait in anticipation!
Tickle the Dickel
3rd
Rex as a proper alcoholic the FIRST THING he is checking is how much is the % of alcohol in every bottle!!!
Alcholics abuse alcohol. Here at the Whisky Tribe we treat alcohol like a gentleman treats a proper lady.
Oh no you missed understood me!!! I was talking about Rex!!! LoL
The PweeBle need to know.
Rex we love you no matter what!!! LOL!!!
Yooooooo... when is the live stream you said on the whiskey biscuit/tribe I want to see the review on your own whiskey!!! 🐻🦄🦅
“Risky Whiskey Business” sounds like a college course that needs to be taught. And by Tom Cruise sliding around in his underwear, socks, and a dress shirt.
Great as usual could you please put a picture of the label of the Whiskey you review thanks I think it would be helpful. Rex get another hat or be proud of that fucked up haircut and own it lol. Take care guys
My 2019 worst whisky! It is horrible, I can't drink it.
Top three worst bottles I've bought, it went down the drain. Waste of money.
👏👏👏👍
Aaaayooo
Tastes like moldy bread.
Can not keep a straight face while watching this video....There should have been way more puns
99% of decision makers are boring! 🤭
First
Most cringeworthy marketing slogan in recent memory - congrats !
