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?

Wild Turkey should start making a rye whisky just so Matthew Mcconaughey can advertise it as an "ALL-RYE, ALL-RYE, ALL-RYE"
They do now.
Lyubomir Ivanchev Dad joke guess I’ll take a drink
брo сменил си името :D топ коментар :D
lol
That's what I love about Wild Turkey, I get older and it stays the same age :)
I love when I pick up a new whiskey and finding out you guys have done an episode on it. Time for a drinkalong!
Had my first taste of Russell's Reserve 10 this weekend, it has earned a spot in my personal collection
Great review, I also love Russell's 10. As far as rare breed goes, I didn't get any burn from it just lots of cinnamon. But I can understand your point, I suggested the bartender try some, and he actually shot it. You could tell he was in pain for a while 😎
Would love to see a comparison with the Russell 10 and Single Barrel! I love when you guys compare in the videos. I think it gives a great perspective!
There should be a "Wall of Magnificence" in the vault, where all of the donors and gift-givers have a small name plaque on the wall. The higher on the wall, the higher the donation and/or the most gifts given, hence the more magnificence. Just a thought.
I bought a half bottle of Rare Breed as my second whiskey on the heels of a bottle of Maker's Mark. I was excited when I saw this review because its the first chance I've had (other than the livestream) to actually taste with you guys. I remember noticing the sparkly nature of it the first time i tried it, so it's good to know what I got the same out of it that the pros do :D I also realized that both were bourbons, so I am intending on trying an Irish next, then a Scotch.
Half of 116 would be 58. You've become too dependent on spreadsheets, Daniel!
Yes! Rare Breed! Hands down, my favorite bourbon!
Jordan Skoda Music Rare Breed is my absolute favorite! Exquisite!
Thank goodness the rare breed review! I love me some turkey!
I love rare breed. Since I discovered it 2 years ago, after realizing that it was a wild Turkey product. Although it's on the tobacco, oak and smoky spectrum of bourbons. But what a beautiful flavor
Ahh, Cringing with you folks is the highlight of my day.
I haven't tried the Russell Reserve single barrel yet, the local store here near where I live had the Russell Reserve single barrel Rye, and it was outstanding. It's now my favorite rye for the under $63.00 with tax price range.
Sipping a bit of this now, definitely the best bourbon I got for Christmas (which is saying something considering I got a ten year). It's very complex with a nice, long finish.
Just got a Bowmore 10 and it`s my first smokey whisky.I usualy like more frendly Whiskys but i like this a LOT.
I really enjoy the 101 and the Rarebreed from Wild turkey...will have to try the Russell's!
Just got some Russel’s 10 and I’m trying it tonight. Supppper pumped
Loved it, absolute 🔥! Best bang for your buck $45, at 58%abv. The ice or water added, does bring out the wood notes, still delicious 😋
So I am fairly new to drinking whiskey/bourbon +/- 1yr but I’ve tried a lot of different varieties and have discovered that I like it neat. My favorite is 1. WT RB BP 116 2. Russell’s reserve SB 3. WT Longbranch. This thanksgiving had a $90 bottle of Blantons and hated it? Guess I have a type....
I absolutely love Booker's, but when I can't afford it this will definitely be my go to!
This rare breed is my absolute favorite. Ive had a few bottles of it this past year.
Same, always have it in my collection..
Love this episode ! I know I’m late to the game but you guys rock
Great video guys. Love to see bourbons here.
I actually picked up a bottle of this and i looked through your videos the Russels 10 and I thought oh wow i really should suggest it... Bamm it comes up i have about 1/8 of bottle left it's just nice sipping but i still prefer Knob Creek ..
Last Thanksgiving i had Wild Turkey rare breed for the first time definitely a sweet spicy treat during the holidays my favorite Wild Turkey is Wild Turkey 101 of which i am having a glass right now with a Rocky Patel the edge Sumatra
Keep up the great videos guys! Love watching the show! I gave a non whisky drinker friend of mine laphroig as his first whisky... he liked it!! First thing he said was: " tastes like bacon"
If THAT'S what Laphroig tastes like, then l shall have to purchase myself some!
Have you ever thought about making your own whisky? if so what would it be like what notes and flavors do you prefer and what exactly goes into making those things come out in a good whisky?
I’ve tried a handful of bourbons now, and I came back to Wild Turkey 101 and was impressed 😯 it’s actually pretty good, and you can’t argue with the price! I would take it over most anything at its price range (and just above). If I were to “upgrade” I’d upgrade to an age statement or another high proof whiskey.
Please try Russell's single barrel rye, it's outstanding
WT is one of my favorite bourbons, however have not tried Rare Breed yet. Have only tried the 101, Forgiven, Russell's rye and 10 year old. I think they're all good, except I thought Forgiven was overpriced
I’ve been a rare breed guy for a couple years now but I’ve been moving towards Russell’s Single barrel as of late. It’s 110 proof. Just a little lower than the rare breed it and I think it’s a little more fruity but with less tobacco flavor and I’ve been diggin the heck out of it. Russell’s 10 is awesome but I wish you had compared the higher proof single barrel version to the rare breed cuz I I’ve been happy to shell out the extra 10$ for it these days :)
Oh both of these Wild Turkey are great to enjoy
I didn't drink before finding this channel (via modern rogue), it was your descriptions of the flavor notes that enticed me into trying whisky. I have 5 bottles now... within a month...
I saw Rare Breed on sale at the store, and got it to try alongside this video.
The tasting notes on this video is only about the alcohol content. :(
I feel like I've been blue balled...
Pandamonium, yaaaah. We were a bit skimpy on the details. In our defense, we proactively made a welcome video to address our... let's call them "misplaced priorities".

A few weeks ago at my local whisky store's Friday Tasting, I got to try the Western Canadian Exclusive of the Amrut Single Malt, Single Cast (portpipe). There is usually a bottle of watter handy, but no one could find it, so the rep pulled out his bottle of Perrier and I added a drop or two of it. The carbonation dissipated instantly, but I was pleasantly surprised at how it changed the whisky. It tasted effervescent and the flavours just popped in my mouth. The rep and I got talking about how Scotch & Soda really is a classic way to enjoy whisky. I then had the old Kingston Trio song stuck in my head for the rest of the day...
Theresa Smith, nice. I'm gonna try and get water, ice, and soda water to make regular appearances in the vault.
I don't really like making corrections, but, it is Wild Turkey Long Branch (sp.?) that Matthew M. did with Wild Turkey. My second favorite to Rare Breed.
The wolf with the cigar gets me every time :)
WhiskyFest San Francisco was last weekend and holy shit was it an awesome experience. Coolest thing that happened: I was poured Compass Box by Jon Glaser! I about died! It was so cool to talk to him about his blends and transparency in the industry. Also met Allison Parc of Brenne. Didn't care for her whisky, which is unfortunate bc she was amazing and I'm all about women in whiskey. She's doing her thing though. Also drank Pappy with Preston and Julian Van Winkle. Too bad Jim McEwan wasn't there bc he's on my list. But I did find out he's working on a new Islay distillery called Ardnahoe set to open next year. That's badass!
Holy cow! What an amazing event! Love these stories. We need to get Allison involved in the school. I also don't prefer the whisky, but I really love her story.
Whiskey Vault You really do! She'd be a great way for you to get more women involved in the school. You have no idea how many women were taking pics with her. She was a star among them! Really cool to see.
Jon Glaser was also amazing. Really bright, down to earth guy. Has some really cool stories as well.
ive had several bottles of rarebreed. love it neat with nothing added
Of the major labels, as much as I have tried, the Wild Turkey line is not to be ignored. The Wild Breed is quite good.
Have you guys ever tried wild Turkey American honey and Dubliner? I think they're the 2 best tasting flavoured whiskeys I love them personally
2 Bastard calls in 1 episode! This is gonna be good
I just picked up that rare breed for $35 at the Idaho state liquor store!
SPARKLE MASTER CHAD! YOU HAVE DONE THINE SPARKLE AGAIN! Thank you! ✌️🌴⚡️
Well shucks!!! Craving the Rare Breed now! 😁 Wish it was non-chill filtered along with 101 however...
So, I "have" to watch your videos for my job. Work sucks, I know. Definitely subbed now. What I want to know is how can I visit The Whiskey Vault?
Looking forward to the Russell’s 10
John Peterson's comment got me thinking, I hope you guys are able to do something fun for the Halloween Episode!
wait wait wait wait! did daniel just say he plugged in the ice machine and it will take only two to three minutes for ice to be ready? where can I buy said ice machine? i'll duct tape it to my hairy body and name it "growth".
Rare Breed is the one I've been pushing for in the Bang For Buck whiskey. I was the lone voice in the wilderness....
apparently still am. sigh
Wes Smith I have no experience , so naturally my recommendation is that famed high-rye bourbon: AskSomeoneElse.
We dug it!
True. Just back hand slapping ya in the balls. For some reason that always hurts more than a full on knee crush......
I'd like to hear what cigars compare to the "Rare Breed" of Bourbon? Solid and always enjoyable
Whoa whoa Rex just poured and two whiskeys in a video 👏👏👏👏
All bless master Mooch!
I do it for the people, Kevin... I do it for the people. Also for the whiskey, but still... for the people.
Can we get a bin cam? The paper throw is an integral part of the show and I want to be able to see the shots. Also, do you guys know of any good Australian whiskey? I just moved here from Scotland and all my favourites are so expensive to import.
expand and try American Bourbon
I notice you guys have never drank bulleit bourbon on the channel... I wanna hear Rex talk about all his pleasant memories related to bulleit bourbon. So drink bulleit bourbon please.
I may catch some hate from this, but I’ve enjoyed the Russel’s 10 more than Angel’s Envy. They’re both damn good whiskeys but Russel’s is phenomenal.
I found this channel after watching the Modern Rouge. Great channel! I have always enjoyed whisk(e)y. I only had it once in a while. My uncle introduced me to Buffalo Trace and the rest is history. I have wanted to hone in my tasting and smelling senses. But here is my question: Where do you start enhancing or training those senses. I mean i can get the caramel flavors, but finding those subtle flavors and smells... How do you do it??? Thanks guy! Looking forward to hearing more on the new distillery!
I am #teamcookie But, I do love my dad jokes.
Here is my best for this channel.... Did you hear about the new whiskey bar on the moon?
The whiskey is out of this world, but, the place has no atmosphere.
It simply takes practice. There are a few kits out there that can help (google whisky aroma kit), and tasting sheets are really helpful to keep flavors in the front of your mind. We recommend this one: whiskeysmiths.com/whisky-deductive-tasting/
bam
Love these guys. Sampling my two favorite whiskeys (so far) in this video. For me, the Russel's 10 is better, the Rare Breed is wildly different from year to year. "Rare Breed is an adventure, Russel's 10 coming home" spot on description. The mooch gave me the tip of putting a bit of whiskey on my hands, rubbing them together. The residual smell gives you hints about subtler taste notes. Works really well on both of these. I raise a glass of Russel's 10 to you, my whiskey brothers and sisters.
Latest batch of rarebreed the 58.4 is improvement on tye 56.4 in this video.
Watching this while sipping some RR10. Cheers!
Wild Turkey RB has much more spice. Like both. But WTRB is more distinct?
Does anybody know what the bourbon ls that Lucifer drinks on the show? At one point I thought it might be Russels from the shape of the bottle and what I could see of the label. I want to know what bourbon the devil drinks because that must be some damn fine bourbon.
Jimmy Russell hit it on the nose with Rare Breed. It’s my favorite bourbon
You guys are my favorite company to drink with
A friend and I bartender at a wedding. While we were there, we were able to mooch off of one of the family members who brought Laphroaig the wood. Then as we were cleaning up the wedding party let us mooch two cases of boulevard wheat beer. We were wondering what level of mooch are we.
Elijah Simmons, cases?!? Omg you're level one thousand four hundr.... Wait.... Beer? Level 6.
Angels Envy trifecta please sirs
My ultimate whiskey mooch story is this: for my birthday my sister and brother in law bought me a nice bottle of Texas Bourbon. Friday they were having a get together and it was a BYOB/Pot luck type of alcohol set up where if you didn't bring something you couldn't drink anything there. My sister asked for recommendations from me and I told her that Knob Creek and Sheep Dip were a good bang for the buck and good taste too. The bottle I used as my entrance ticket was my gifted Garrison Bros bourbon. It was a great night of sampling I had the opportunity to sample rums, vodkas, beers, and wines. At the end of the night i came to learn that no one but me it turns out liked whiskey, bourbon, or scotch and so I left with my untouched bottle of mooched Garrison Bros, 1 new whiskey, and one blended scotch to add to my personal collection. I go in with 1 bottle, drink everyone else's supply, and leave with 3. That is what I call a productive days mooching.
Niiiice. Sounds like they need to have more get togethers.
Rex
I agree completely!! The best day of drinking is a free day of drinking.
Rex the only thing is I can't stand rum or tequila but when it's free it still tastes like shit but I'll mooch it till the cows come home.
Is Daniel's inbox now full of Port Ellen/Brora resurrection?
Hi Guys! I really like this channel. I love the combination of knowledge and humor that is brought out here. I was hoping I could get some help/input on a couple of things and any suggestions from the comments is more than welcome too. (I posted this on another vid but didn't realize i was looking at something older, so i got no feedback)
First - I've been looking to get a bottle or two of Rye whiskey for a friend for Christmas. I happen to know via a mutial friend he prefers Rye or Bourbon or Scotch. Since most of my experience is in beer and cocktails, I've been trying to do some research to find something fun or that he may not have tried before. Right now I've been thinking about Angel's Envy Rye, Michter's US-1 Rye (either straight or cask strength if I can find it) and Sazerac Rye. what do you guys think and/or do you have any other suggestions?
Second - Due to some very unfortunate circumstances I am currently kinda forced to live in Des Moines Iowa, and while this city seems to have some really wonderful and diverse beer selections, I am not finding much in the way of variety or selection on whiskeys. It also seems that this is a state that online retailers cannot or will not ship to. Does anyone know of other options or have other suggestions on how to get good whiskeys short of moving to another state?
Thanks to anyone who has any info or suggestions.
Thank you for the input! I have checked a couple of those places already, but found out that each Hy-vee has its own stock/inventory so I'll drive around to a few more and check them out. Since posting this I also found out that Iowa has a "book" that is the approved whiskey list for retail and Angel's Envy was taken out of it about a year ago so unless i can find an old bottle on the shelf I'll probably have to look else where for it. Omaha is only 2 hours away, maybe I could check there on a day trip or something.
Also I was able to find Sazerac at a Hy-Vee so that is one down. I almost got a Michters too but when i was in checkout I looked at the bottle one more time and realized i had the straight bourbon instead of the straight rye which they didn't have. I'll definately look into that High West Campfire or Double Rye too. so thanks for that suggestion.
Also I've seen some Iowa whiskey and rye called Cedar Ridge. Anyone know if its any good or not?
You guys should review drakes virgina black whiskey
I have Wild Turkey Rare Breed 112.8 proof and it is dam good
So Daniel i received a bottle of "The exceptional malt" ,it is a blended scotch, for helping out a friend and i was wondering on your thoughts about it and maybe a review. i would send you guys a bottle but i don't get paid till next week so yeah sorry.
I'm going to talk about this when we shoot today. Should air monday
Hey can you guys review the balvenie 14 caribbean cask??
Keep seeing that in stores and I'd love to hear their thoughts on it!
I still have an unopened bottle of Wild Turkey Rare Breed Barrel Proof Batch WT-01-99. I want to open it but I dont want to open it lol
I love that Russell's 10
I like to pair Rare Breed with Fried Chicken
I'm pretty sure that club soda (or any carbonated water-based beverage) is acidic, not alkaline-carbon dioxide and water combine to make carbonic acid.
Hey, I brought that whiskey because of another comment you made about pouring mint juleps out of a can. The fact that I knew you wouldn't like it was just the cherry on top.
greataxe3, your brutality knows no limits. It only adds to your magnificence. 😜👍
Rex Thanks. I don't believe I need to mention how magnificent you are. You show it five days a week. And since you said I mooched level two, should I replace the strap around my medallion with a tube sock?
if you mooch the tubesock, it's an instant level 10.
Rex Shoot, I need to befriend Brian Brushwood. I think he's the last person in America with any tube socks left.
You should compare Rare Breed with Russel's Reserve Single Barrel Select at 55%/110proof.
we should!
I will be forever cursed by living in a country where most of these whiskies are impossible to get a hold of, and if they are, they're almost twice as expensive as in the US! Maybe one day I might savour the sweet nectar of totalwine's whisky selection... until then, cheers.
If you had 300/350$ to spend on a bottle, what would you first choice be? Hard question I know, but I am going to buy something in that bracket and want a Som and mooch pick.
Bruichladdich Black Arts
Love you guys!
What do you guys think of the Wild Turkey Longbranch
Easy beginner bourbon. A mild mesquite finish. Great to to try with friends who are just starting out with bourbon.
I love the Russell's 10
MORE WHISK(E)Y!!!!!!!!
can we add 58.4 to make 116.8
Hey Daniel, my name is Dominic, and I have a presentation to do in class at my university over our dream job. Mine is running a whiskey distillery. As you guys have started your own, I was wondering if you could help me out by giving me some insight as how to start and run my own distillery?
Shoot me an email on this. daniel at whiskymarketing dot org
Whiskey Vault will do Daniel, thanks!
Hit 4:25 to hear Daniel's laugh over and over again. Its making me laugh.
Great drink, but damn bottle drips if you don't pour it perfectly.
Really late, but thank God that it wasn't just me.
Eagle Rare 10 and 17!!
so the only whiskey i could get today was a mickie(375ml bottle) of bulleit bourbon.....some idiot decided to smash up the whiskey section at the local liquor store today -.- also knocked over a bunch of the wine racks and shit but who cares about that.
"This is a lot of tap dancing because you forgot to make ice." - LMAO
Daniel, I need your help
Last weekend I got a bottle of my favourite whisky, like I do every month. I've always gotten very typical rye flavours from this whisky; sweet brown sugar, spicy rye grain, cinnamon, citrus, and subtle vanilla, all in beautiful harmony. My perfect whisky.
Then, on my third glass, out of nowhere I got a hint of dill. And now that I know it's there I can't ignore it. Which would be fine, if I didn't absolutely despise dill. And now I've inadvertently ruined my favourite whisky.
Has anything like this ever happened to you guys? Am I destined to wander the whisky aisles looking for a replacement that will never be as good?
The whisky in question is Lot No. 40 single copper pot still Canadian rye. I'd recommend it to any rye lovers out there, if you like dill.
This has absolutely happened. And I still haven't recovered.
glenfarclas 10 plz oh great wizard, the bottle right behind the monk with the magic amulet
maybe with the 105 too
an adventure and coming home....or in other words there and back again
I love Jim Beam double oak, but I believe Wild Turkey is better. Wild Turkey 101 is amazing. I tried a top shelf like Woodford Estates but was not that impressed
WT 101. is $22 here ; nothing not to like
DeDona1 have you tried Jim beam Distillers cut? My fav Jim beam and for 20 bucks can’t beat it
Leave it to CM to bring a high proof whiskey to the table. 😋
I finally found a way to get the bottles of whiskey I want. Step 1 bring S.W.M.B.O. to the liquor store show her the Crystal Skull Vodka bottle and let her pick what she wants. Step 2 spend a LOT of time looking through the Scotch aisle. Step 3 walk over to the burbon aisle. Step 4 wait until S.W.M.B.O. has her hands full of bottles she wants. Step 5 wait until she says "Just get the Angel's Wings and that other bottle." Step 6 take the Angel's Envy and Ardbeg 10 and walk to the cash register with confidence.
I really need to figure out how to get her in the store that has the Ardbeg Dark Cove behind the counter.
Kevin Jones, you're the Whiskey Puppetmaster! 😄
Is that a pre-mooch level, or something that leads up to moochiness?
My favorite Rare Breed was the 108 from several years ago.
Rare Breed is pretty much my favorite Bourbon
I'm an interior designer who lately been very interested in whisky.. whisky look very cool with a "lighted up" cabinet..
but it is safe for the whisky? Will it make it go bad? Anyone can give me info on this? 🤣
I dont want to make something goes bad only to look cool
It would be fine as long as the lights aren't putting out heat!
