** 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?

Thanks...as much as I love their witty banter...

Eventually .
Ya, like BTW.. why you clicked here __
Dammit, I really wanted to see the 10 year comparison.
Talisker Storm is my go to “you have to try this” whisky. The layers of flavors and complexity is noteworthy. It’s like if you loaded oak barrels full of dried fruit onto a Spanish galleon and set it to sail in a choppy sea, lit it on fire, then bottled the result.
bclem15 I absolutely agree. Gal pals who show dismay at what they perceive as pungent and smokey are much more receptive to any Tallisker...the 10 is a great apprentice level .... there is no bad Tallisker n my eyes 😇🤓🥃😍
Cannot turn down this bottle after your rather eloquent description. Think I'll pick one up even at Ontario prices ($88). Will say that when reading reviews people either love it or hate it more than any other.
Robert Zemko if you like the Talisker, I wholeheartedly recommend Bruichladdich Port Charlotte 10. Similar smoke and brine notes that I loved in the Talisker but taken up a notch in my opinion. Cheers!
@@robertzemko6590 Holy crap, this is a $36 bottle for me in Kansas. Thats crazy.
I've been waiting for this review for 5 months lol, im so happy it's finally here. Thank you guys
Thank you for the shout out boys. I'm trying to find a suitable way to express and share the experience. I smell a video. It was incredible. 🙏
Looks like Rex and Daniel need to take a trip too.
Scott LaBruyere Scotland!
Get your powers back Rex. The peewble needed The Storm compared to the 10 year for science.
Matthew Morin I have both of these. I can't decide which one I like better. I started with Storm and then 10yr. From my experience, I think I like the 10 better as it keeps changing as you drink it. But if you only had the storm, that's just fine; you ain't missing much.
I'd love a complete tasting kit from Talisker.
The first time I tried Talisker was 10 years ago at the distillery. I’m from the East coast of Scotland and as much as I love Speyside whiskies they do have a characteristic flavour that makes it difficult for a novice to distinguish one from the other. Talisker is a whisky that delivers so much of its home in a bottle no matter where you drink it. Every sip brings you back to the Isle of Skye.
The Whiskey Tribe is the best group i've ever been involved with hands down. Daniel looks so comfortable wearing that on his head like it was meant to be a part of him lol
Daniel I'm stoked you slid a Goonies reference in there. You true are a Magnificent Bastard! Love the channel and am an avid watcher. Stay classy you guys.
Holy hell, its like you've read my mind. I've been debating on picking this and Talisker 10 as they're fairly priced at my local store and theres not much of a price difference and now I've got a trusted opinion in front of me to aid my decision lol
#danielweek (all history, lore, and tasting notes from some of the best distilleries around the world) Quick Daniel, claim this power while Rex is weakened.
yes
Glad the launch party was such an amazing show. Cheers to the MB's that made it what it was and everyone from the school that put in their hours. Wish i could have been there!
That's so cool everyone had a great time! I wish I could have gone but being in minnesota it's a little tough lol. Keep being awesome tribe! :)
Absolutely fantastic to be at the event. I'm a fan of Talisker Storm
I like that we're of a mind about Talisker vs. Talisker Storm. I got the Talisker Storm months ago because it's less expensive at my local store, then got Talisker last week. I agree that the Storm has more character, while still enjoying the Talisker 10.
As a geeky, related side-note, it's weird that Widen chose Clan MacLeod for The Highlander, since he was so specific about where Connor was born (in Glenfinnan, near the shore of Loch Shiel), when the actual MacLeods lived on Skye and the Isle of Lewis...
Daniel referencing Goonies, Highlander, and He Man all in the same episode was like pop culture comfort food for the gen-xer. I wanted to put my hand over my heart and enjoy "our time." Thank you.
I decided to buy myself my first bottle of Scotch for my birthday & I ended up going with this. I loved it. I also sometimes like to mix it with blueberry lemonade.
You just know the one other guy on the net other than me that liked this, was drinking Talisker Storm like I am and just went, f#@k yeah my dude you enjoy that with your blueberry lemonade you crazy magnificent bastard you.
wow, that sounds interesting.
Could you describe the taste?
3 minutes of review in a 15 minute review video. These lads were soused by the time this was started.
So I have been watching your guy's channel for sometimes now and I have loved it and used it to further my ventures and knowledge into whisky. Not to support rex too much but I'm always a fan of when you delve so far into the whiskys taste that you find an ample comparison in another whisky. For me it builds more bridges and links to better maps a wider variety of whisky. So I say yes to more whisky comparisons sorry daniel.
Imagine this your first video on the whiskey vault channel. :P
This is my first time finding their channel lol
@@phiten40 welcome then lol
After experiencing my first bottle of this and the 10 year this spring, i have fond memories of the 10 but none of the storm (and I drank the 10 first). Might have to science another bottle of each.
Daniël you are relaxed again! Today you are having a go at Rex’s crown of funny!
You said red pepper there is definitely a spice on the backend of the throat I love this tells her might be one of my new fave great review as always
MORE TALISKER!!! YES!
THE BEST DISTILLERY IN SCOTLAND 😊
why stop there. The Whole Universe. The Pan Galactic GargleBlaster is probably the only drink that can compete.
@@bdp514am Agreed. The blaster knows his shit
I think you have Talisker confused with Lagavulin. Talisker is the second best distillery in Scotland.
Ardbeg isn’t too shabby
Tali 10 forget about it. Tali storm best way to spend 40 bucks all day long.
Talisker 10 is one of my favourite smokey whiskies, haven't tried the Storm but have tried the Skye are they similar?
Bastards made me stand up... TWICE!!!!
Bring on Canada week! Sounds like you may have gotten some of the "secret stash" that we hoard for ourselves while sending you regular Crown Royal. :) I'm hoping to see some Lohin McKinnon Single Malt, it's one of my personal favourites.
Why was this not compared to Talisker 10? Rex, get your mooch powers back!!!!!!!!
15 seconds they actually talked about this exact whiskey. 😮
I took a swig of this after I had brushed my teeth and it was amazing. Need to try that with my other scotches
Great video guys!!!! I need to re-try Tallisker
I haven't tried the Storm, but the 10 is one of my Go To whiskies. 😍
Major nerd points for the “Highlander” reference!! Perhaps that’s what Rex needs to do to level up is too take out other mooches and take their power! Lol
I just got this last time I was home. I love the mouth feel on talisker, I like this one better than the 10.
I all so got springbank and got lemongrass on both smell and taste, anyone else?
Y’all should do a review on Swift whiskey. It’s a single malt that I have been super interested in. I would love to know what y’all thought about it!
Love the show by the way!
Screw Canadian Whiskey week Daniel..... There has not been an Irish Whiskey week yet....
Well Canada's bigger so we go 1st
Irish blows redbreast 12 is the exception and jameson black barrel and greenspot and teeling never mind im drunk i love irish wiskey not really redbreast 12 yes
In short this scotch has a great smokey taste and it's well rounded. Has the taste of walker red without the burn. This stuff is great because I personally love the smokey charcoal taste.
In my area, it has been on sale as low as 30 dollars a bottle. I horded some, the drink is a great nighttime sipper.
$35 at costco 2021
The hair for hobbits is as janky looking as I expected Rex to make it 😂
Hot damn ! u 2 made me stand up 2 x - - - the double voicing DID IT ! ! ! lol
Since the bottle design changed by now im wondering if the taste of talisker storm did change as well.
I didnt got any hints of caramel or coffee like in the video.
Could someone explain the situation to me?
Frick! I don’t have a whiskey channel... YET, but wow, I so wish I could have been there!
The Whisky Eagle needs to take a harder line with Rex, when a mooch is denied he should be made to do the Jean Claude Kickboxer dance (out of time clapping optional). Pre exploding eagle bits there would have been a Dark Storm,The 10 18 25 30 comparison.
I drank this whiskey last night. I recommend pairing it with dark chocolate covered pretzels
you once blended McKenna and Glenlivit founders reserve. can you make some blends using monkey shoulder? I tried monkey shoulder and Glenmorangie Lasanta. It was really good. what else can i blend monkey shoulder with?
When I nose and taste whiskey I can differentiate different notes and flavors, but I can't describe the notes and flavors. What advice would you give?
you guys nail life. live long and prosper.
Peace and long life.
"this is our time". People under 30 may not get this one.
HEEEEYYYYY YOOUUUUU GUUUUUUYS
Scott LaBruyere eh I'm 20 something and I understand
My father made me watch that crap...
Good father. Haha
+100 Somm points for Goonies reference
A bad pun for the crowd. Steve McQueen once bought a young river horse and named it Steve McQueen. LIke the human McQueen, the river horse McQueen was the epitome of cool. Everyone who saw it thought it chic and sophisticated and made each of them want to buy their own river horse. How might you describe Steve McQueen the river horse?
Why it's a hip, eponymous hippopotamus of course.
My wife’ favourite Talisker is Port Ruighe, have you tried it?
Anyone tried the crown royal texas mesquite?
I am very curious how it compares to another american hard wood smoked whiskey (like the american single malts that are using wood...brimstone, rimfire, etc), as those others don't distribute in my area.
You guys ever consider designing a Whiskey Vault tasting sheet app?
I would like to see a review of J.W Golden label reserve and platinum label as well... big fan by the way
I have to admit, I didn’t like this whiskey at first. I found the smokiness overpowering. But with a cigar, this turned into the best whiskey I’ve ever had.
Got the last bottle from total wine for my birthday today!
Loving these movie references guys
Just tried this for the first time about 10 min ago. Holy crap the salt! It gives me notes of a mezcal as well. Excellent stuff tho.
I often get more salt from bowmore and old pultney, but talisker and talisker storm is often an easy win for me.
another favorite of mine
It’s delightful. Ocean and Oak, what’s not to love
I love talisker, but if you brine, go to springbank. Talisker is you sailing through choppy seas, springbank is capsizing and drowning.
There is sooooo much 80's goodness in this episode lol
In honor of the Goonie’s quote Daniel snuck in there, Rex should have to do the truffle shuffle in order to mooch a whiskey.
I just sat here for 3 min trying to remember how I knew that line and just couldn't place it
chad holle
Yesssss
👏👏👏👏
Please make a video with you trying to find out what whisky is in the bottle of "Smokehead". That could get really funny :-D
Weird thing happened to me with Talisker, I absolutely loved it, drinking from a glencairn. Had to have a normal tumbler one day, and all I tasted was salt and now I can't drink it! So disappointing
Should I buy Talisker 10, Talisker Storm, Ardbeg 10, Auchentoshan Three Wood or Nikka from the barrel? I love peat, but also smoky spicy citrusy flavors
Now that's a difficult set to choose from. The taliskers offer a briny sea note, the ardbeg heavy smoke and some meat flavors, the three wood is dark fruit and Christmas cakes, and Nikka is always subtle in lighter fruit. It's entirely based on the feeling for that day. Or you could just get them all. After all, at some point you'll own a bottle of each. :p
Wow! I've never actually watched within the first 45 mins of video posting. The views stack up quick!
Has Daniel wrapped his head around Rex's hair being wrapped around his head?
BTW, did Rex mooch Brushwood's OTHER tube sock for his new Mooch Regalia?
daniel... 10:55 and on...thank you. so many people need to understand this. stay safe my friends
Never thought I'd get my comment read on video, but it certainly made my day! (Sorry I ruined yours, Rex. But I'm sure you'll be back to your mooch self soon)
You guys should try Talisker Port Ruighe aswell!
When is Daniel going to reach Level 5 Sommelier? The distillery is built! That being said wouldn’t Rex also be a level 5 Somme and Daniels boss!?
Love the videos they make my day when there uploaded ! Only thing I have to say is your not drinking whisky right ! The general rule of whisky (mostly scotches) is that however old the youngest barrel is you keep the sip in your mouth and swill it round. Say it’s a Jura 18 year old, keep it in your mouth for 18 seconds and swill it round then after the 18 seconds (more if you want to) swallow and you’ll get a completely different flavour without any burn or sharpness. You’ll really get to enjoy the flavours properly. I’ve worked in the whisky business for 10+ years so sorry I’m not trying to be pretentious. Love the vids once again .
Btw, how do mooches level up? I know somms have to take another whisky course at the whiskey marketing school, but how does it work for mooches?
OJT
Have y'all tried the dickel tobasco mash?...not personally a fan (found an airplane bottle of it for a couple bucks). Seems like since you did the hot sauce tasting, this would be up your alley to try.
My best friend is getting married and I wanna buy him a nice bottle! He like jack, Crown, and Bullet bourbon. My price limit is $150. What do you suggest?
"You cannot blame me for enjoying the steps along the way"
-Daniel "Bilbo Baggins" Whittington
That may just be the hobbitiest thing I've ever heard.
Also congrats on the opening. I dug watching the live stream, except for the part where it cut out, right after the Cult showed up. I hope the footage wasn't totally lost and is part of some plan to be shared later. BUT I have I've question for you gentlemen,
Who tucks the baby soy bean into bed?
The edamame.
Something tells me Rex will be leveled back up by the end of the week. There's no way he can continue like this.
For the price I'll buy Talisker Storm over Talisker 10 everyday. Around here Storm is around $36 to $38 and Talisker 10 is around $64 to $68. I don't think Talisker 10 is work about $30 more. Or in other words I can get Talisker Storm and Monkey Shoulder for around the same price as Talisker 10.
In Europe 10 is only 2-3 euros more than Storm on average. I don't understand that difference.
I love Talisker 10. Haven't had Storm. Is it legitimately worth twice the price of the 10?
Not quite double. $96 for Storm and $57 for the 10 on Flaviar (May 2022).
Talisker 10 and Storm are the exact same price at the store I was in today. Both are $56.99.
@@brandonjones6703 Excellent prices. I hope North Carolina will be following suit soon.
Was this a review of Storm or just what they thought of the brand? It seemed extra pointless in compared to their other off topic filled reviews Rex was right, there at least needed to be some kind of comparison if you are going to lack relevant content.
I thought I was going to hate this dram because of the smoke and brine. After tasting it, I actually like it for the money.
the whiskey tribe are not Whiskey snobs, they are Whiskey Geeks
No Canadian Whisky week is complete without Rob from Whiskyinthe6.
I'm gone for 3 days and I came back to this?
IF you are gonna do a event again, I must start saving for the flight over!
you guys rllyyyyy should try the talker port
Rex is Samson. He loses all his power when you cut his hair.
How does The Storm compare to Skye?
The intro to episode 199 just popped up in my feed, so I watched it, and the extremely prescient intro goes into a speal about how one day Daniel will have hair to cover his baldness, even talking about it being used hair stuck into a makeshift wig...
Am I the only one who thought of Lear and his fool when Shakespeare came up?
mmm Talisker. Probably my second fav distillery (after Ardbeg, as if that's a surprise)...
Not surprising. NEEEERRRDDDDDD
"We embarked on this journey together." Pretty sure Gandolf said the same thing to Bilbo after he was suckered into going...
Clayton James Tennessee Whiskey please, thanks for all the videos
Hey Rex and Daniel,
First, Love your Channel blablabla much appreciation blablabla helped me on my Journey bla.
Also, sorry but Daniel is pulling off Hair for hobbit way better than Rex is pulling off bald… The man looks like a Club bouncer!
I had a serious question though, I was wondering if anyone ever tried to Rye barrel finish a sherry bomb, as the spice could balance the super sweet fruitiness and the creamy notes would integrate with the sherry.
Cheers from France!
So seeing that your in Austin, are you familiar with Family Business beer comp? Owned by Jensen Ackles from the show Supernatural? Am I the only one who wants that collaboration to happen? Rex if Daniel really felt bad about your hair cuts he would shave his beard for u!!!
So Daniel is quickly losing his mind while Rex is slowly gaining his
I'm going to send you some awesome Canadian maple whisky. I'm not talking hints of maple I'm talking about what is essentially alcoholic maple syrup.
This is the only whisky that burned my palate. I don't know wheter it was an allergic reaction of what else, but it never happened to me before.
I don't think I want to drink Talisker Storm ever again, although I might, just to check if such a reaction happens again.
Waiting for irish whiskey week....
Almost 5 minutes before we got to the whisky.
And it’s over
