** 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?

Am I the only one that wants to take advantage of the toast for special occasions by picking a whisky that Rex completely hates, just to make him drink it.
Jarrod Frost I suggest Icelandic malt liquor.....Floki. The malt is smoked with sheep dung
An irish cream
No you're not alone. I had the exact same idea.
I could not pick a sh%t whisky to celebrate, now could i.
Daniel can articulate the most complex and poetic terminology in whiskey and life, but what stumps him?....
Cotton. Candy.
So today (march17 in Australia) I get to marry my partner of 12 years, we have been together since I was 15 so it's an exciting time. I've only been apart of the tribe a few months but both me and my partner love watching you guys daily, so if you both and the tribe could give a cheers to us today with one my my personal favs it would be awesome (the classic laddie or longmorn 16)
We started our channel (this one) when we started our business in January. You guys directly influenced our whiskey videos.
Pretty sure we found you late summer last year. Just thought I'd tell you guys thanks for helping us shape how we present our business and giving us some great whiskey to try
heck yes! Thanks for watching, and glad to have you along for the ride. Good luck on the channel!
Me and my buddy watch an episode every time we hang out; we love the channel.
Chad @4:38 was amazing bahahaha. Now at @1:55 just throw up a pic of the corn he is talking about because in the immortal words of Sweet Brown "Ain't nobody got time for that"
Glad you guys like the juice! I've known these guys for the past few years and have loved everything of theirs I've tasted.
Never picked up on Nancy's signature, but as soon as I tasted it when I got home, I zeroed right in on it. So cool!
So I'm the Maltster for an estate distillery coming on-line here in the next couple months, and I've been doing a TON of research on really cool, rare corns. (At work they say I'm a corn addict). One of the corns we're going to grow this season is Bloody Butcher, and these guys are responsible for first turning me onto it a few years back. Your comment about the color of the corn having an impact on the flavor is dead-on. Anthocyanins (blue and black corns) will offer different flavors than, say carotenoids (orange corns).
So we're going to play with more than ten other really cool corns, spanning all colors of the rainbow to see what they taste like off the stills.
SO STOKED!!!
Also Chad's on point with the edits
The dissolves out of the Magnificent Bastard animation are always at least 24 frames tooooo long for me
I was thinking around the 4:38 mark
The Ironroot Promethean looks like Team Rocket's whiskey 🥃😂
Prepare for trouble!
Make it double!
To protect the world from devastation!
To unite our people within our nation!
BTW Ironroot Promethean kinda looks like the kinda whiskey Giovani drinks!
4:38 lost my shit, took me totally by surprised lol.
HAHAHA GOLD
Very interesting all the different types of corn. Cheers guys 😊🥃!
I tried this at a total wine sample. I actually really like their whiskey. Good stuff.
GUYS! You are Great!! Thanks for picking out my comment. Dan (i know you hate that), im not mad, just disappointed. :) Rex if you ever are in the Netherlands, let me know. Im more then happy to get you a dram of both.
You could totally throw a cotton candy centrifuge in a used whisky barrel. Probably want to use a super smokey whisky like an Islay, since it's not going to be in contact for long. Oh man, someone needs to make this happen... you'd have to work on getting a barrel that's the right size though. An average commercial barrel would probably be a little wide to catch the sugar properly, but then you could see how fast the centrifuge will spin to increase the range of the spun sugar. This is a great summer project idea.
anybody noticed that rex is slowly starting to look like a whisky jesus?
Thank you, thank you! I live in Minneapolis and will be checking out 45th Parallel Distillery ASAP! They have a straight whisky, too!
The Border Bourbon is their straight whiskey. Do the tour and tasting. You will get to try their rye and wheat, plus vodka, gin, and a few other liquors they make.
Just realized whiskey Biscuit video will be on St. Patrick’s Day. Oh what glorious Shenanigans that will ensue.
The bloody butcher corn looks like pomegranate kernels. Keep up the great work!
Looks good, hi guys can you do a review on FEW BOURBON WHISKEY 46.5 ALC 750 ml
Thanks boys keep them Videos rolling
Cheers
Bloody butcher corn is beautiful. Will you be reviewing a flight of whiskey made with heirloom grains in the future?
i have decided to just enjoy drinking my whisky for the moment instead of trying to taste it like a professional taster and eventually i should get used to it and pick up the subtleties inherent within and move on to more complex whiskys
Yeah i do the same. Every month i've been spending a little chunk on whiskys i usually haven't tried just to expand my experience. Always look for deals too. I can usually pick 1 or 2 notes out but i do struggle. I'm improving here and there. Then after so many, i struggle even more because... reasons. I just try to enjoy them these days. It's a nice little hobby... little. Too many whiskys already and getting 4 more to try soon *shakes head*.
Rewatching old episodes and stumbled back on this. I sort of feel like for #Vault100K, we NEED whisky flavoured cotton candy.
AND
It should be made available at the Distillery Opening in August 😁 Not that I can attend, but those who do, should have whisky flavoured carnival treats!
Am freakin amazed at how many brands, blends, small batches, etc exist. No worries about running out of bourbon as long as this keeps up. I wonder how long this uptick will last... you guys haven't even tried em all, and just look at those shelves! Awesome! I want to try this one. Someday...
When is Chad week? With the awesome editing of y'lls shenanigans , he has definitely earned it.
Counting crows are the shit. Dont you even call them a guilty pleasure. I saw them play outdoors in like 2002ish with Live and it was amazing.
I get married on April 27th of this year. I will buy a bottle of whatever they review that day! And if I can get a toast from you guys that will be awesome!! Daniel can pick whatever he wants to toast with.
Hilarious...Now I know what the hell was going on in that room while I was downstairs sipping wine with The Wizard on Tuesday.
Shhhhhhh. it was a secret...
You guys should do hot-sauce next time you have a dry week. It's very similar to whiskey how they have so many different kinds from all over the world. From the habanero islays to the calmer cayenne sauces or Tabasco which is actually aged in Jack Daniels whiskey barrels. Also it might be entertaining to see you guys sweat it out.
Hi fellas, when cooking have you ever tried using whisky to add flavour to meat. I like steak cooked in Jameson or teeling
The toast had the same Speed as in the coffee Episode. Are you guys secretly drinking coffee between episodes?
Do a series of videos where u go and visit a distillery :)?
That's not the first time Daniel can't think of the word cotton candy. Note to self, dude! Note to self! Cotton candy!
bob dylans oh mercy. daniel laois highlight: "Man in the Long Black Coat" . Daniel Lanois - production, mixing, dobro, lap steel, guitar, omnichord (performs on all tracks except "Disease of Conceit"). he also worked well with peter gabriel. even willie nelson got him some of that.
i'm looking for some different music ... could you name some that you don't agree on?
You too crazy bastards are awesome love all your videos Shaggy the dog aka the mooch and the ball habits aka the somm
I almost died on the 45th parallel. Rockclimbing at Taylors Falls. I'll have to get a whiskey from there to commemorate June 7, 2001 anniversary of my injury every year.
Whoa! Dahm! I will drink to that. Cheers!
Daniel would like u2 and white chocolate strawberries #rexweek
Who doesn't love Counting Crows?? Got to see them in Toronto last summer. So good.
I’m going to the Angel’s Envy distillery today for a tour. Is there anything I should/ ya’ll want me to ask while i’m there? Thanks! Long time viewer, scarce commenter.
UPDATE: All of Angel’s Envy was fantastic and I oddly got boiled peanuts as an aftertaste for their rye...
We (well at least me and a few other bastards) need your take on Ardmore Legacy.
But where's that long bit of wood you love so much Rex Daniel quick get the Knob to save the Mooch
When are we getting more Rex week poor man’s blends?!
you should really taste/mooch the laphroaig lore .......
@whiskeyvault, (Rex/Daniel) Please tell Patrick Belognia that I'm sorry, because I was the one who donated the 7 Devil's Rye samples. Patrick, let me know if you haven't been able to get a bottle, I might be able to help. Stay Magnificent!
Nicholas Johnston I may take you up on that it’s been a little bit of a bitch to find around here. Give me a day or two my work life is a little crazy.
And Thanks for the offer.
Rex-
Coming off this last QC I found that some whiskeys were showing more intense flavors than others ... Do you know what else I found to be as intense ... camping
Jimmy Osborn Camping with your whiskey is even more intense!
I know speed aging is something you’ve a addressed, but have you heard of/tried ‘Lost Spirits” distillery products? Apparently they’ve solved some of the issues you brought up around the time needed for breaking down of lignin
Also! I just found out my mother and father are going to Scotland this year, what’s a highland or speyside distillery you’d recommend visiting?
I just read about them in Whisky Advocate! More research needed.
Any distillery in speyside or highland will be worth the visit :-)
Review 1792 bourbon Daniel is Awesome
Early video!!! I can watch it before work.
I think Rex would appreciate the albums Steve Albini has produced. Pixies, Fugazi, Nivana, Bush, Veruca Salt. All the good 90’s stuff
How do you compare flavored whiskey like applejack to original whiskey?
Not usually at all. The flavor tends to destroy the host
As a whiskey noob, I like watching your videos before I purchase anything. I find it hard to find half the items you try tho. Where can average Joes buy these? Also, I really like angel’s envy and Johnnie Walker platinum. What would you recommend trying?
Total Wine
Rex is far more the nice one! Sorry, not sorry. :)
Considering that Chaccaron edit right after discussing "guilty pleasure" musicians, I'm guessing El Chombo is Chad's?
CheeseTaterson I was dying 😂 hats off to Chad
It's my sixth cousin's mother in law's aunt's 2nd husband's sister's birthday today. Can you celebrate with a toast of Isabella's Islay?
I’ve got a buddy who doesn’t drink whiskey at all, but wants to try it out. I’m struggling to decide if I should start him out with bourbon, scotch, Rye, or something like Michters American. I’m leaning towards the Michters, because it’s so friendly. If you did bourbon or scotch, what would your progression of selections be?
Awww $#!T I was going to send you guys a bottle of 7 Devils Rye to guinea pig, er, um, I mean review. I didn't realize you had already reviewed it.
Finally we know what Rex is packing!
Rex and my friends walk into a room... and they’re all sober because nobody brought whiskey. Mooch life
Could you guys toast the day that I finally got you to do a review of Jameson 12-year Distillery Reserve? I'd like you to use Jameson 12-year Distillery reserve for the toast!!!!
Next Thursday, Please toast to me because reasons with either Octomore or Yamazaki 12.
That Chacaron Macaron at 4:38 was *perfect*.
I don't swear, like at all, but it always makes me smile when you declare someone a magnificent b... gah, I can't even type it.
Haha, Chad's Swedish Chef edit on Daniel was perfect, completely unmatched.
When you guys have time to fit it into your schedule you should make a test on your website full of randomly magnificent questions that will eventually tell you what your spirit animal is LOL
Never thought of how many different corns there are. Makes me wonder, is there like a standard corn that's used in most popular bourbons? Do certain distilleries prefer certain varieties?
Most use no. 2 Yellow Dent
Whistlepig trifecta
Is there a list of the whiskey that is already in your possession and/or a list of the whiskeys that you would like to try?
Oh the frivolous banter. Great episode. Going off on tangents is what we all look forward to.
Kudos for the Lanois mention...!🇨🇦🥃🎶👍👍
45th Parallel Distillery is located in New Richmond, WI.
The Border Bourbon is 66% corn, aged 4 years in new Ozark oak. They currently source all their grains from a local farm, and mill on site.
My Parents got me that Counting Crows album and I pawn off on a friend
And now the Wolf is a nonsmoker? HOW PC....
Sorry brother... Rush is Canada's gift to the world. Brian's pretty great too.
Thank you for putting Chacarron Macaron in here, editor man!
so im watching these videos at 9 am now. should i be drinking?
I just looked up “bloody butcher corn,” and I feel like it should have been named “pomegranate corn” instead.
4:38 #ChadMoments
Anyone know what artist/song that cut @4:38 is?
Daniel and Rex please review of chivas Regal extra 👍
93%... Lol...
10:25 Daniel, have you had cotton candy the next day? It's HORRIFIC
Is there a place where we can check out the up and coming whiskey so we can drink along?
Thanks
Unfortunately, no. We rarely know what we're going to shoot until the morning of
Whiskey Vault thank you for the reply! Love the content!
Daniel Lanois' sound is the shit!!!!
Who is Tommy? I was not able to find other episodes leading to "the Dolphin of Laa-Dee-daa" :D
He gets referenced on the Biscuits channel a lot
have to relook biscuits episode again ... I saw all of them, but somehow Mr. Laa-Dee-daa sliped my attention :D
Relooked first 3 episodes ... I think it is enough :D
You're forgetting Neil Young....
One can never forget Neil Young
Had the chance to try the Ironroot Bourbon yesterday at the Total Wine in Arlington. Very nice on the nose and very nice from start to finish.
These guys are the sick highlight of my day
If there can be only one... Ryan Reynolds is Canada's gift to the world.
Rex, can you ask Daniel to toast my recovery. On January 3rd, I was on a group road bike ride coming downhill and hit debris and crashed at 30+mph (my GPS showed I hit the debris and stopped pedaling at 33.6mph and my last recorded speed before it stopped was 29.8mph). I ended up with a broken bone, 3 open wounds, bruised ribs which lead to pneumonia, and road rash and bruising over most of the right side of my body.
This past weekend my wife and I went for our 2nd outdoor ride since the crash. And we went 36.2 miles. My arm is still weak, the cuts on my knee are still healing, and the one on my palm has painful scar tissue so being able to ride 2 hours was a pretty big accomplishment. The day before I crashed me and her did 62 miles and we were planning to do 100 and then go to Fogo de Chao that Saturday with some friends.
I think a fair request is something that is at least 36 years old. I'll leave the exact bottle up to Rex ;)
In reality, the Tribe did wish me well back in January when it happened and I even had a few locals offer to help mooch my collection since I could not drink for a few weeks due to some of the meds I was on. So you know this is a magnificent community. I've still got a ways to go to get my strength back. I'm hoping to do my first 50+ mile ride this weekend and my first 100+ mile week since the crash. By comparison my single longest day is 101 miles and longest week is 200. I was really hoping to do a 150 day and 300 week this spring before it gets hot here. But maybe next year. Just glad that life is returning to normal. And most importantly, that I can enjoy my collection without having to let it be mooched "to avoid oxidation" ;)
Glad to hear you're recovering! So sorry for the craziness. Glad you're still with us.
I'll show your comment to Rex... I may or may not edit it certain parts of your request..........
Is Rex homeless. Or is he a fan of that look?
both?
As a beginner, would it be a good idea for me to use whiskey stones?
use or don't use as you prefer! No wrong answer on that one. All it does is chill the whisky slightly which will bury some of the flavor notes. could make it easier and smoother to start with.
Whiskey Vault Thanks. I will most likely be starting with Redbreast 12 year
Review compass box flaming heart! It's one of the best whisky I've ever tasted and I need to know your opinion.
It's one of my favorite things Compass Box has ever produced.
Rooster Circle, coming soon from V Weiss.
Last night me and my wife watched three DVDs back to back.
Luckily I was the one facing the TV.
Christopher Breton LOL! That was hilarious!
You pick a comment that brings Rex visions of King Alexander III, and then leave him hanging? You're a cork tease, Whittington!
I've watched every video now and Daniel still doesn't remember what cotton candy is.... get it together man
Wonder, would the bloody butcher corn effect the colouring much? Just googled it
From what (little) I understand, I don't think so. Coloring comes from the barrels (or additives, but hopefully whisky isn't being tainted like that).
Oh totally the barrel has a big factor in it. Just curious as some as its natural colouring may translate over
When distilling happens, everything becomes completely clear. If you look at "new" whiskies, they look like water. All colouring comes from things other than the grains (ie. the barrel/food colouring).
Cool :)
no one has ever thought you were the nice one......
HERBA DER DER DER DER BUR BA DER
Wow. Let Daniel open the whiskey.
I love you
