Loving it. Never interested in whisky until my father passed last year, now I love the story behind every dram and feel connected to him in some way. Interestingly, my father was a works foreman as part of the rejuvenation of the Port Dundas area of Glasgow (Dundas pronounced the same way as Glass Daniel!). As a token gesture, the distillery gifted him a bottle of Poitin. That was around 15 years ago and in reality, was what went on to become aged on oak to give you the fine specimen you are sampling today. Keep it up you magnificent bastards and next time you have a drink, think of a wee Glaswegian dude called Jimmy who loved whisky.
I think we need to extend Daniel month through April. I absolutely love the unnecessary, useless knowledge. Keep up the amazing work Daniel. Thank you for all that you are doing. Thank you rex for adding your 2 cents of special needs antics, to keep it fun.
Great story-telling knowledge share. The rise of grain whisky is s huge part of today's whisky landscape, awesome to see it shared here. You guys are awesome.
Loving the grain whiskies in the last few months after trying Hedonism Compass Box. Found a Girvan and an older north British. They are characterful expressions and have me on the hunt for more grain varieties!! Thanks lads for the great video.
How about a history quiz for Rex at the end of the month? And if he passes ge gets to try a whiskey of his choice from the month? Just throwing it out there.
Michter's American is their Bourbon mash-bill aged in a combination of used and new barrels (at least, according to the distillery rep at Distill America a few weeks back)
This sells for around $46 in my neighborhood. I'll have to pick up a bottle. Out of the 128 distilleries in Scotland only 81 are open to the public (2 are not open to the public due to construction or reconstruction) and NONE of the grain distilleries are open to the public. So, unfortunately I won't be visiting any grain distilleries during any of my trips to Scotland in 2019 or 2020.
Gentlemen, bastards, you are.. my people. A while ago, I had the chance to pick up a bottle of 21 year old Imperial whisky, and that distillery doesn't exist anymore. My dad was upset that I missed the chance to hold on to it and let it increase in value, but it was too good not to drink. It is my birthday scotch. I may have to take advantage of the Port Dundas' increasing rarity and hold on to one of those.. love the videos, and love the trivial knowledge. Keep up the magnificence.
Here is the thing, it is impossible to grow maize (sweet corn as opposed to barleycorn, wheat corn etc) in Scotland, Ireland, Wales, or Northern England, except in a greenhouse. Even in Southern England, it doesn’t do well. So certainly, at the time of the invention of Scottish grain whiskies, maize (Zea mays L.) would not have been in the mash bill. France is now the ninth largest producer of is the worlds third largest exporter. The French consume very little and it is mostly used internally, somewhat reluctantly, as cattle fodder. So nowadays, there may been a large percentage of ‘corn’ used in Scottish grain whisky, but initially no.
Rex.... buddy.... pal.... come on.... 🤦♂️ we’ve talked about what “single” AND “malt/grain” mean soooooooo many times.... lol but I mean maybe when Daniel was talking about it it was one of those RARE times you weren’t paying attention... ps love the channel and the tribe AND you guys keep doing amazing things for us Whisk(e)y lovers!!!!
Picked a bottle to crack open to break dry week. And even though I know the history I’m feeling underwhelmed. Not getting a lot on the nose, and the taste is just so, so.
Is there a reason you guys haven't done any society bottles? I would love to Daniel some Longmorn if he is interested. Perhaps "Chocolate Pralines In An Oak Box" 25 yo?
Answered the question I first posed in my entry Email to the whisk(e)y tribe. I will look to add port Dundas 12 and 18 to my list. Looking for bottles that will increase in rarity the fastest.
Has Rex never seen the modern rogue whiskey episode? Any of the three? They would answer so many of his questions! The single grain versus single malt, left brain and right brain, Daniel covers all that crap in those three videos
Hi Daniel and Rex, I’ve just bought an 8 year old blended scotch and was wondering wether the malt is at least 8 years old or the grain or both. Love the channel kind regards Kevin
What would be a good Whiskey to start when you are looking to advance your palette. Example of what I have been drinking are in no particular order, Jonny Walker black. Singleton 10 year, Glenlivet 10 year, Glelmorangie 10 year and Nobb Creek Maple. Just would like some suggestions as to when looking into some more smoky Whiskeys
Okay, I have a question, how do all these whiskeys get these flavor notes of vanilla, whipped cream, caramel, just from grains? If they are made from grains, and aged in wood and burnt wood, where are thies flavors being introduced from? Maybe you already have a video on this. But I am very curious on the science of this aspect. #curiousMB
I thought you guys released a dormant alcoholic gene in me, I got 12 different bottles and couldn't wait to get home and try it in different ways. I'm ok now.
@@TheHighlandSounds Eh it wasn't a proper review... There were no shenanigans, comparisons, or how the taste changes after adding water... So I'm asking for a proper review
So let me get this straight. The guy that hates spread sheets wants a spread sheet on the bottle lol? I actually agree though, the fact that its so hard to figure out a mash bill or what's in the bottle. I don't try, i just like to drink whiskey with out rubbing my head lol.
So if a corn whiskey is aged in a used barrel it can't be called Bourbon. And it can't be called a malt whiskey. Does that make it the redheaded stepchild of the whiskey world?
Can you guys recommend a scotch or irish whiskey to start on. I'm a bourbon drinker but I want to try a scotch but my only experience with one was a johnny walker red and I did not like it whatsoever, after watching you guys I now know the red label is not one of the better scotchs to drink. I'm now hesitant to try another one lol, what can you recommend that can help me get into those types of whiskey.
How many times has Rex forgotten how to read whisky labels? The world may never know... But in all reality, it's probably good because there are always new viewers that may have not run across this information yet.
@@bigbud6842 Well yeah, but I don't want to buy bottles of scotch I may/may not like or have a good idea of what to expect. This is exactly why I watch this channel
Does anyone have any good recommendations? To give you some background, my go-to's are Glenfiddich 12/14, Redbreast, Bullet (all), and a few others. I'm new to whiskey and really do want to expand my knowledge and palate
I am really not comfortable with how much casual the Mooch is acting in the vault. It is like showing up shirtless in the Oval Office. Nobody does that. Its is funny to watch old episodes where Rex is all dressed up and uptight. Come on man, put yourself together, there is a middle ground. ;)
Is it really necesary to pretend rex does not know what single means in single grain ? I know you wanted to highlint the confusing labels (for beginners) and use "uneducated" rex to ask the questions, but you made like 3 tribe episodes completly explaining what single malt, single grain, blended malt, blended grain and blended scotch menas and it was mentioned like 50 times in vault episodes for sure, and rex owns a distilery

Today marks the day Daniel became a level 4 Sommelier by making the Mooch care and nerd out on History. Loving that cow bell

Aqvavitae ...but it’s Port “dun-DAAS,” right Roy? 😉🥃
Anders Larson yeah, but not everyone is Glaswegian.. 🙂
Im loving daniel month, i gotta say. Maybe its becuase im a nerd too and i love learning all the little cool historical facts.

I believe there’s a good case for saying that Compass Box has done more to raise the reputation of grain whisky than anyone in recent years.
I agree completely
Really good episode. Nice to see Rex reduce the whining and fully embrace the splendor of Daniel month. Knowledge!
Talk about listening skills. Rex twice declares "Creamy, vanilla, floral" on the nose, and Daniel still asks, "So what are you getting on the nose?"
That's because Rex said it while Daniel was talking.
@@burgeyburgful Twice.
I was already drinking Michters American Whiskey when you guys started talking about it. You are in my head.
How about a history quiz for Rex at the end of the month? And if he passes ge gets to try a whiskey of his choice from the month? Just throwing it out there.
Rex has Daniel speaking to him face to face. He cannot hear a thing. Rex hears a whisky bottle open a mile away. He grabs his Glen Cairn🤣
Swapping fluids, digitized body parts and learning things. Best whisk(e)y channel ever.
Port Dund-ASS is the correct pronunciation. I grew up in sight of the place. Morrison Bowmore is just up the road from it too.
I really like these history lessons!

Rex, you should watch the Modern Rouge episode with Daniel!!!! He taught me about Single Grain on day 1.
Here is the thing, it is impossible to grow maize (sweet corn as opposed to barleycorn, wheat corn etc) in Scotland, Ireland, Wales, or Northern England, except in a greenhouse. Even in Southern England, it doesn’t do well. So certainly, at the time of the invention of Scottish grain whiskies, maize (Zea mays L.) would not have been in the mash bill.

Port Dundas 12 is a seriously good whisky. It's an alcoholic sugar cookie all the way through for me.
I’ll fix this whole problem:
“Single, grain” whisky
Commas. Grammar. It’s important.
Single grain =\ single, grain
Rex.... buddy.... pal.... come on.... 🤦♂️ we’ve talked about what “single” AND “malt/grain” mean soooooooo many times.... lol but I mean maybe when Daniel was talking about it it was one of those RARE times you weren’t paying attention...
ps love the channel and the tribe AND you guys keep doing amazing things for us Whisk(e)y lovers!!!!
Scottish Single Grain is almost Vodka aged in Oak Barrels, in my opinion 🥃
Can't help but lay awake at night and think of Daniels end game???
Picked a bottle to crack open to break dry week. And even though I know the history I’m feeling underwhelmed. Not getting a lot on the nose, and the taste is just so, so.

As a nerd who constantly has problems because people don't understand my spreadsheets, I feel personally attacked.
You need to create another spreadsheet to help others understand the misunderstood spreadsheets.

Macallan special edition. Go no further. Prepare to spend though.
Michter's American is my favorite "scotch". ;)
Found this for 16.99 at my local TW. Worth every cent twice over

Rex has seen all of them. He just never listened to any of them.
This is my favorite whisky. The vanilla and light tones are just creamy. Of course its a distellery thats dead tho
Nice history lesson!
Not to nitpick but technically you could malt corn and make corn only whiskey without added enzymes or am i mistaken ?
Great Episode again guys!
I like the drunk explanation for whiskey types better.
There should be a comma between single and grain. Fixed.
Hi Daniel and Rex, I’ve just bought an 8 year old blended scotch and was wondering wether the malt is at least 8 years old or the grain or both. Love the channel kind regards Kevin
Both.

For purposes of making a 100% corn Scotch, would malted corn introduce the necessary enzymes that malted barley does?
Yep.
I was going to ask this same question and assumed someone else asked it first.
So I could make a 50/50 corn/rye without enzymes. Perfect. Thank you for verifying.
@@wanderer4125 Malted Rye would provide the enzymes and be easier to come by than malted corn.
You all need to review Jameson black barrel we’re u all love Jameson
I love Slobbermore 18

Have you all tried the leadslingers whiskey yet?
The 'single'. Means the same thing in either whiskey process

I would give Larceny a try. It has the familiarity of bourbon with a little more lingering complexity. And it's not too pricey.
Rex you're so cute when you play along.
When Daniel Month ends, and the mooch realizes he has learned a lot of information and enjoyed the process, the Somm knows he has won. Muahahahaha
I'm afraid that 2 more weeks of "Lecture Month" will drive me to drinking...more.
He Rex, easy on the merchandise! No, literaly: easy on the merchandise! Seriously!
Damn Rex, you got like 10,000 lumens off your stomach. When you go swimming do dogs howl at that thing, lol?
