** 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?

Dude I could totally watch Daniel do this blending wizardry all day. It’s so entertaining and satisfying to watch to me haha anyone else??
Absolutely agreed. This gets me excited to try their blends when the distillery opens. All that somm knowledge put in a glass!
The only thing I hate about it is my inability to confirm the results at the same time :)
Yes
absolutely. It's the most educational the channel has been in a while! Nobody tell Rex though, he'll be pissed if RexWeek ends up being productive!
We need smellavision.
#Rexageddon day 2:
Somm 2, Mooch 0
Daniel is winning the battle of The Vault thus far with sheer knowledge, patience, and Hobbit-ly wisdom. #TeamSomm
yea
but what daniel said
if it was bourbon it wouldnt work
so if rex is a clever mooch
he picks bourbon next time
Supreme Leader Kim Jong-Rex
Rex is latin for king after all :)
How wasted is rex right now
This was filmed the same day as "Day 1" i think so they were sloshed
The Mooch is useful for our entertainment, but for our refinement and edification we need the Somm! God's speed to you this week Daniel! #TeamSomm
Please.... do this for some of the discontinued Japanese whisky
Rex week is like a masterclass in becoming a mooch, and in that case It would be quite interesting to hear "The 10 Commandments of the Mooch".
BTW, who is winning this, the guy who drinks from a glass, or the guy drinking directly from the bottle. You gotta take it up a notch Rex, if you don't want Daniel to get wins from this!
Since Rex month was wrong with a single trash can shoot Daniel should be able to recover a day every time he makes a shot #teamsomm
Glad I found this channel. Subscribed.
When Daniel is kicking Rex’s 🍑 at his own month
Daniel needs to add blending to the curriculum of the sommelier course. He's pretty freaking good at it. In fact, the new distillery should have a blend based on the best concoction from these episodes and name it #rexweek. Yes, hashtag is included.
According to the Whisk(e)y Academy website, blending is part of the curriculum for Sommelier Level 3 and 4. :-D
Canadian Whisky Smith Awesome!
Level 3/4?? Daniel is a level 3!?!? It should be an optional extension for level 1... as a novice, blending has become one of the best parts!!
And at the end of rex month, the whiskey vault announces a Kickstarter for a new liver :Edit: autocorrect'd rex's name
Nah...it would be a GoFundMe page ;-)
Daniel's mooch-defense is outpacing Rex's mooch-ismo.
The realization on Rex's face halfway through was epic!
Somebody meme that, please.
*Ninja edit: 6:49 reality sets in.
LMAO guys! Just when you thought Rex couldn't possibly get any more douchey, Rex month begins! Rex month(s) should maybe become a holiday tradition every year?
All I know is Rex month is making me thirsty.
Although I may consider creating a spreadsheet to document these poor man versions.
Hey I love your guys channel. I am 21 and live in Orange County Ca. I am getting into whisk(e)y and since I'm only 21 I don't have a lot of money and I don't wanna buy the wrong bottle. I have had Glenlevite 12 and I liked it but could you find an affordable good whiskey in my area? please don't let me buy another bottle of jack......
Try out our Top Ten most Recommended for beginners! We did it based on the most voted beginner whiskies from our community in the comments. ruclips.net/video/PoeIPrIXUOw/видео.html
I can't help but feel that Rexweek is only saved by Daniel's blending wizardry. I can't even watch this sober or I don't find the mooching funny, only extremely annoying. That said, credit to Rex's theme choice so far! You damn mooch. Now make a crazy poor mans Yamazaki 18 Daniel! I BELIEVE IN YOU.
Badass Somiler your dealing here. Daniel has a conditioned palate.
You guys should try to recreate the more unicorn whiskeys! Like anything from angels envy or brenne?!?!? Or something from Johnnie Walker since they like to use a copious amount different whiskeys in their blends.
Ok, so here's a crazy idea: what if you create a page with your Poor Man's whisky blends so we, the poor men, can have an excuse to buy several bottles and not feel bad about it? Also, still waiting on an update for the engraved glasses. #TeamSomm #RexMinute #ReadMyDamnLongComments
Barcelonista has
I doubt that rex liver will survive a whole rex month.
He’ll mooch another
Rex's liver is the one and only thing Chuck Norris concedes as better than his own.
One can only hope
Never underestimate the mooch
If he is mooching another one, he might be looking for an already trained liver. If that is the case, Daniel should be very worried. Especially if he wakes up in a bathtub full of ice and hears rex sinister laugh.
Daniel soul is dying on this Rex week
Daniel, I respect you, your knowledge of whiskey seldom fails to impress me. That said, your determination to single handedly ruin Rexmonth is abhorrent. This repugnant behaviour must come to a stop. Poor Rex has waited centuries for this moment and I will not sit here and watch the Dwarven Somm break his golden heart.
Where do you find a dog with no legs? Right where you left it
what kind of driver does not need a licence? screwdriver
Without a doubt, for me, Rex Week/Month/Year/Decade has been great so far just so Daniel can pull of his impressive whiskey alchemy. He can blend a mimic of these whiskey's so fast with so little effort. Its a viable superpower. I mean I guess this is what the masters do at the actual distilleries, but I've never seen it before. I thought it would be way harder. Daniel's like the rat from Ratatouille, only with Scotch.
We better get a bourbon from Rex to see if Daniel can even surprise himself. I'm betting on him now.
He is such a giver, the altruism rex shows is out of this world. Why can't Daniel be so kind huh?
Daniel and Rex... I want to make this but can’t afford the actual King Alexander to compare... what ratios did you use? My girlfriend is absolutely wanting to try this! Please please help!!!!
Dang. I need to go back and figure it out again.
You should review whiskies that you dislike the most. Just for fun.
I never knew Pablo Escobar can speak English until now!
This is not going to end well
I just bought the last bottle of Dalmore 15 available online in Quebec. Thank you Whiskey Vault for the suggestion some videos ago! Love you guys !
I know you also low-key like Rex month Daniel... the blending part seems like your thing
Holy shit lmfao just had a dream I was in a bar and Daniel and Rex came to my table I freaked out was about to drink with my favorite people... then I woke up
Brandon Beddows one can only dream to drink with the gods.
Pouhahahahahahahaha... love the #rexmonth .. and yaaaaa! We keep the best for us... mouhahahahahaaa. Let me know what you want to try from the best whisky country in the world.and I will ship it to ya!!!!
Haha being boorish and obnoxious is funny :^)
Scotchy scotch scotch where's the bourbon?
He's gone mad with power! GIVE HIM MORE
This blending has to continue on after Rex month, it's too damn great to be one month only #WhiskyScience
That was the best ending ever
screw distilling your own stuff just have Daniel mix up some barrels for the people.
I like King Alexander III. Just never wanted to pay the cost of it.
garygsp3 I feel that way about EVERY Dalmore. They’re way overpriced where I live. And 40% ABV is a rip-off.
I only live 30 - 40 minutes away from the Whiskey Vault guys and I thought I almost heard Daniel say $200 something for the price. I've only ever seen King Alexander in the $300 range. So I need to find out where Daniel gets his.
Somebody stop this man.
I cant tell if this episode is the best or worst
Between Rex and a hard spot....
Are we gonna get whiskey vault/biscuit merch? Tshirts?
Absolutely loving Rex month!!
#rexmonth now I have an excuse to drink whiskey again like a cowboy 😂
I feel like #RexWeek (#RexMonth) would be a great basis for a whisk(e)y club. You look at Daniel's recipes and everyone brings a bottle to contribute towards the blend.
You could call this club: "Whisky Stone Soup" (in honour of the classic folk tale).
Perhaps this is the true value of Whisk(e)y Stones?
You go into a Scotch club and ask for a glass of water. You pull out your own Glencairn, add a whisky stone, and wait for someone to come ask you about it. When someone finally questions you, tell them: "I'm making Whisky Stone Soup." Proceed to regale them with tales of this magical stone and how it can take plain water and turn it into the Aqua Vitae...in fact, it can make water into any high-end Scotch you want! Sprinkle a drop of water on the stone and start nosing it. "It's subtle...but what would make it so much better is if it had some Dalmore 12 to help season it." Wait for someone to provide said spirit. Continue in this fashion until you have assembled your Whisky Stone Soup.
Of course, you have to have the right audience for such a ploy, but a true Master Mooch Extraordinaire could pull it off, drink down the soup (without sharing), and convince everyone to try again because the recipe didn't quite work the first time.
You guys should review crazy horse, purely because I want to see you guys suffer hahah. At least you won’t spend much money it costs like $25 in Australia.
Such is the risk of having a real Somm to mooch from, Rex.
Just finished watching every episode of Whiskey Vault. Bask in my glory!
I have a question though. I'm a pretty novice whiskey drinker. Just bought some glencairn glasses, and was trying to nose some Old Grand Dad and some Jameson. I noticed that I could barely smell anything from Old Grand Dad. Is it because OGD has less alcohol, or is somehow less complex in nose than Jameson?
Love the show!
Yeah, less alcohol means less evaporation quickly in the nose. That's likely it!
If you look closely, you can see Daniel's soul withering away. By the end of #RexMonth, Daniel will be a broken, shell of a man, cowering in the corner of the vault.
New rule, you cant start with the base whiskey ;)
What about.... ?
Dalmore 12 (Base)
GlenDronach 12 (Sherry)
Clynelish 14 (Waxy)
Glenmorangie 14 (Musty Port)
Thanks for uploading this again. Loved the old format Laughing and choking on my poor man's blend of... Eh whiskey I think. It was a time of laughter. I know the whiskey tribe channel still tries to deliver the laugh and Briana is a great plus, but the old episodes are just so much better. Sorry but they are.
It's not just the coloring and chill filtering. The bigger problem with Dalmore is the low ABV. I'm convinced Richard Patterson would bottle it at 35% if he was allowed to.
Dalmore 12 for instance has a beautiful nose, but the taste and finish can't cash that check. Watering Dalmore down is not doing it any favors combined with charging sky high luxury whiskey prices.
Dalmore: -Chill Filtered-Coloring added-40% ABVThree strikes, and you are OUT.
Patterson is an amazing blender, but he is going for market appeal, which means a bit watered down in a lot of cases. Also, the name requires that it is held in such regard as to appeal to the very wealthy, so you need the fancy bottle. That being said, Dalmore malt is amazing. I've had some independent bottling of Dalmore (I think basically sherry matured without knowing too many details) and it is a big characterful malt. It's almost depressing how it's being held hostage, not only in presentation but in price. Of course the same can be said of Mortlach and Macallan. :( But the best way to feel a whole lot better is to get hunting for one of the other distilleries that are still providing an amazing value (i.e. pretty much anything from Cambeltown, Old Pultaney, Compass Box, AnCnoc, Bunnahabhain (12 year especially), Aberlour, etc...). The poor man can be rich in experience!
I'm really struggling with pulling all of these flavor and aroma profiles you folks pick up.
It seems to me commercial booze is cut extremely loose compared to what I make to drink white.
I can drink my own at 65% straight, and prefer it that strong, but it's got less bite than most commercial at 45% all day.
I have a very sensitive sense of smell but it's undeveloped and didn't typically carry over to taste.
I dunno guys. I'm struggling here
Looks like the box has been mooched already :)
Can I still be a tribe member if I only like my whiskey and bourbon in a finely crafted cocktail? Do you need a bootle of 2 Gingers for the vault?
250 bucks and theyre slumming it! Lmao!!!! The most expensive thing ive ever had was JW blue label....
People request RexYear.
The end of the week is going to turn the Somm into Gollum!! PRECIOUSSSSSS BISCUITSSSSSS!!!! MY PRECIOUSSSSSSSSSSS!!!
i know this could be the end of the whisky vault but what about a poor mans Macallan M?
or blendageddon with high end whiskey
Guys. Get the names right. DalMORE not DALmore. Glenmorangie to rhyme with Orangey. I thank you. John in deepest Scotland.
Not claiming to know even half what you guys know about whisky, but isn’t it pronounced AuchentAWshon and not Auchentōshon? Or have I been fucking it up all along?
Watching all this happen hurts my body. And seeing Daniel in pain makes me glad im not alone. So sorry Daniel. Just remember, im hurting with you.
In honour of Rex month, you could do a George Thorogood inspired "one bourbon one scotch one beer" episode. Kind of like food pairings, except interesting.
don't you add those ribbons off the newly opened bottles to the mooch necklace? and shouldnt the mooch be decked out for mooch week?
'May your crazy, style of legal, may the stealing of hearts, fighting friends' - Rex, 2017
Hey guys David DeFazio from Wyoming Whiskey mentioned and provided links to the channel so hopefully the tribe grows some more from it.
Try replicate Ardbeg Uigeadail, (Best whiskey imo) it would be hard because it is cask strength. (Not super expensive tho)
3 minutes in and Daniel gives his safe word. Margaret Hatcher.
This has the potential to be an crash and burn. :)
Ancient Ancient Age. Bottom Shelf Matters.
Hey Guys, Found out my cousin is part of the tribe! #WhiskeyVault bringing family together!
I'm starting to think we're going to have to see Daniel physically drag him out of the Vault by the end of the week. I think there's too much whiskey for the mooch to handle!!?!!
I think Rex month is bad for Rex
Nateorius Me I’d agree
It’s not super great for Rex’s liver.
Are we staging a rex intervention?
Raymond Ramos I think we gotta end Rex month 3 weeks early.
BUT good for us.
Rex that gulp at the end was very classy. Loved it. Challenge Daniel next time with him doing his selections blindfolded.
Daniel if rex switches to Bourbon source crowd for flavor profiles
Or bring a the ringer Tom Fischer
Buying all those whiskies would cost more than buying the King Alexander III, but at least you'd have a whole lot more to drink lol.
And the somm to
Trash can cam ? Who cares it's #REXMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONTH ! ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rex is awesome
Wouldn't buying all those whiskeys to mix, add up to be more expensive than the Balmour itself??
For walnut you could add the knockando 21, but that's not really that cheap so kinda defeats the whole purpose
Didnt you also pour a splash of balvenie in that glass for the "plum note"?...Looked like Caribbean cask.
I will still never understand why people sh*t on Dalmore. I understand that some are expensive, but they're still delightful
Being that it's Rex week, it seems that the "austinwhiskyvault.com" watermark has moved to Daniel's side...on purpose?
Daniel turned into a mocch for second when he drank straight from the bottle lol. What level woild that be?
damn it Glenrothes goes for $60 here in Illinois, hell Johnny Walker Black is almost $40 #AssRapedInIllinois
Ik guys i have to recognize i might be an ass hole. My fat kid joke was inappropriate. I formaly apoligize.
Son of a bitch....Daniel...i feel your pain. Rex cut loose is like a poor fat kid let loose in a donut shop. You just happen to own the donuts. Insane!!
his toolness
I'm pickin' up pewd notes here, some smooth amnesia too, and some slavery smoke punch
i'm a bit of an amature whiskey enthusiast. i particularly like bourbon and wanted to know if there are any real sweet, woody bourbons out there anyone knows of (that do not cost an arm or a leg)
I do love a Dalmore, I love the KAIII, and the 12... And I bought my second bottle of Cigar Malt on Saturday.
İm spreading your videos in Paris. Maybe french people will learn a thing or two..
Doubt it
Samuel Coleman ye so i :p but i still try!
Oh, I don't think anyone else mentioned your questionable Ron Burgundy impression in the intro. I'm mentioning it.
So basically you took 5 whiskeys around 50 dollars each to make one that is 170 :D not really poor mans option
Rex, you should have Daniel give you an expensive scotch to recreate.
