** 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?

Thank you. Going to rewatch this with my fiance so she can see you toasting us.
Congrats!
Congratulations!
That's awesome. Congratulations to you both. Stay magnificent.
Rest in peace!
Best. Ending. Ever.
This is a super good format, guys. Going through diverse obscyre whiskies in bunches makes the video/reviews so much more enjoyable
I'm digging this new donation day and plowing through a bunch of whiskeys.
Joe Hayden I know right, also means I don’t have to have entire weeks of episodes that have whisky’s that I can’t ever get
Was thinking of you guys yesterday. Stopped at the store and was trying to choose between Balcones Single Malt or Jefferson Ocean (which was on sale). Same price, but decided to try the Texas offering since it was something I'd not tried. Even went back this morning and watched your review on the Balcones. And MAN! Was that some good whiskey!
I totally love this new system. It’s fun to watch all of these unique whiskeys on the same day.
According to Wikipedia: "Minnesota 13 was the name given to the corn liquor moonshine distilled on many central Minnesota Stearns County farms." So, Minnesota 14 is Panther Distillery's tribute to Minnesota 13.
My dad was telling me about these guys once. St. Cloud MN here. Raised in Sauk Rapids.
MN13 was the name of the corn, developed by the University of Minnesota. Moonshiners used it heavily for their products, so their moonshine got to be known as Minnesota 13.
Every video i watched I saw this unaesthetic sign on the back that says "subscribe". I don´t know when i did suscribed, I just did it. PS. goooooooooooood videos guys please dont lose your sense of humor
Consequences !
The destruction of the melted bone glass has reverberated through the spirit realm. Reparations must be paid.
Been drinking Bone for some time. Glad yall got it on here! Cheers! It's one of my favorites.
OHHHHH PLEASE PLEASE NAME a whisky dick bird!!!!!!! Or Richard Fowl!!!!!
While I'm near the beginning: I'll re-up on a request I put in the Tribe - As Camping/ Grilling season is soon upon us, can we get a video pairing whiskies with S'mores, Hot Dogs, ect. ? Please!
Now that is a fantastic idea! Have this great whiskey duo out on the river with a campfire and a couple of bottles of whiskey to review along with some campfire food!
Rex rocking the Dad Bod (whisk(e)y guy), this makes him so much cooler!
new rule if more than one bottle donated u both have to say the magnificent bastard goodness
as allways thank u for the wonderfull content
Can you do Whistle Pig please? I've seen it on the shelf for at least a year.
Hit the like button when Daniel said "it was like licking a brand new pine tree."
Look out on the tribe. There may or may not be a song written by josh golladay being sung in the near future.
YASSSSS!
On a totally unrelated note is it called "Bird Dick"?
It’s hilarious to look back and hear Daniel with hope of ever getting caught up on donations. Fast forward 5 years with over a year of not accepting donations and he’s still not caught up yet. 😂
So, I am writing to you from the future. 4 years 3mos and 3 days to be exact. I came looking specifically for a review of Balcones Texas Rye 100 proof. I find this to be an incredible rye, that has nothing in common with any other rye. On the nose there is a heavy Juarez MX leather shop leather There is a hint of dark rye bread, chocolate and coffee and oak. The palate is f#@king amazing. It is a Mint Chocolate Chip Coffee extravaganza with a burnt sugar sweetness that goes for days. I know that most of the unwashed will not appreciate this. More for me.
So if im a guy who loves the hoppiest of the hoppy ipas and works in a bbq restaurant in nashville with all the smoky flavors and smells what should i try out as an introductory whisky?
It was nice knowing you Rex and Daniel. By the way. Does this mean the Tribe gets the distillery?
2nd
If you can find an American whiskey that was distilled sometime during the Vietnam war can you taste it on Monday in honor of memorial day. Maybe start with a sound effect of a 21 gun salute and bugle taps . That would be a great way to celebrate the day.
I believe that to be a liqueur, in addition to the flavor infusion there is also an addition of sugar.
You know just a suggestion besides from reviewing whisky you could review some music of your genre since youre in a band before . Metal music like Dio , Black Sabbath or The new metal .then review their message on their music itself .whisky and music is good harmony for a presentation too.
MN Can't do bourbons or Whiskey for shit right now only due to lack of time in the game. Eventually... maybe something good will come from the state (I'm from MN). However there's an exception, Tattersall does make a great Rye.
"I'm not the Indiana Jones of Whiskey." Hahaha, I lost it at that comment.
hahahahaha i laughed so hard i put down my rifle and laid down to continue laughing. the eagles voice is still creepy but still hilarious.
Rex lookin particularly fancy today... Now you really remember me of the weird uncle that shows up at family bbqs
Holy hell guys last night for the first time i bit the bullet and got my self a bottle of Laphroaig 10 WOW!!! i was sceptical at first and held off buying it for some months taking into account of your tasting notes / review. holy shit what a drop i was enjoying every last sip till i was 3 poors in then I had some pizza for dinner, that was a total game changer for me and rewind it guess ill have to sit it back on the self for the night and continue on with somthing else.
Laphroaig 10 we shall meet again....
I'm not sure I can go by your tastes, I did't like Monkey shoulder which you guys seemed to like a lot, although i had it at a bar it looked like the last 1/4 of the bottle, I did like henry mckenna, prob best bourbon iv had so far. I'm looking for a great scotch around 30, I really liked auchentoshin 12 but its about 60
What is a whisk(e)y mooch?
WHAT first! ! ! ! ! my life is shallow
PLEASE review Virginia Black whiskey! It might make the hobbit grow a little
Had a chance to go to Wigle this past weekend as I was attending a wedding but DAMNIT IF I DIDNT MISSED THEIR OPEN HOURS BUT 10 MINUTES. WHY WHISKEY GODS??? WHY???
Have either of you tried the naked grouse? It’s a new whiskey from the famous grouse brand but with whisky from highland park and macallan mixed and THEN aged mixed in Sherry casks.
I’ve got about 12 whiskeys in the 20 to £30 range and this one I got for 20 quid from amazon and blows all the others out the water. Honestly competes with monkey shoulder for my favourite cheap whisky. Very fruity tho
I wonder what Daniel and Rex did with all that money. What money, you ask? The money their parents paid for their singing lessons.
Hey Daniel and Rex! You guys should do an episode on super budget well whiskies. JW Red, Chivas Regal, Dewars White Label, Teachers etc. You could knock them all out in one episode! If you don't have the whiskies then I'm sure us in the tribe can help you out! Keep up the great videos! Love from down under!
If I will send money for Rex's hair cut... Will I be a Magnificent Bastard?
rye adds body to beer , along with the flavors yall named
I have mixed feelings about the balcones rye. I like the extra dimension it adds with all the coffee/chocolate notes. I dislike the ashy vibe, just reminds me of something burnt i didnt like the smell of. Would recommend it though because its special. I would almost describe it as an islay rye if that makes sense. Always like the content keep up the good work greeting from holland.
I would like to know your opinion on Bavarian Single Malt Whisky, namely SLYRS.
Thanks a lot for every video, they are a blast to watch :).
Is Hibiki Japanese Harmony still being produced as it’s NAS? Or is Hibiki just being shut down entirely?
Will Koch Hibiki isn’t being shut down. They’re just discontinuing their age statement releases. The new (new packaging anyway) Harmonys are out in stores all over So Cal w/in the last month or so. Haven’t heard if they’re gonna release other NAS to compensate for the loss of the 12 & 17. I hope so otherwise Harmony is gonna become damn hard to find. Annoying.
Jay Chung I agree. I fear Harmony may become harder to find/more expensive - but glad to hear it’s not being discontinued along with the age statements.
Hmmm ok so Abomination got me thinking of the Lost Spirits whiskey you guys recently reviewed. That WAS the episode where the bone glass was broken...
And now “the spirits are lost to you?“ I’m hoping some super magnificence/collabo with the Lost Spirits distillery is around the corner!!!
I'm not sure your Censoring a +21 video for too the point expletives, Im missing out on the on point adjectives ...I feel that I'm missing on what you truly feel ...
FIRST .. I wanted to be but am not
Can I offer a suggestion to people sending in obscure whiskies local to your area? Send Daniel some cliffnotes about the whisky if you already have some knowledge about it and the distillery.
As someone who has been here since Rex was clean shaven and well groomed I must say, I think you are doing a great disservice to the people who took the time and effort to donate something to the vault. I get it that there are a bunch of donations piling up in the vault, and the new legion of fans want something that is easy to find, and you have the Patreon donors to please. But this was just wrong. Those people donated something to help out the show, and should be respected a little more than this. 2 donations at a time..great. 3 donations...ok. Any more than that and it just seems like a brush off.
I have a friend going to Paris soon, any suggestions on what whiskey he should bring me back ? (100 or under)
I have a bottle of Balcones Rye and am not yet decided on whether I like it or not. It does punch you in the teeth when you drink it, and dares you to cuss it. It is clearly the most spicy Rye I have. It deserves more careful consideration as it is very intriguing. I will definitely look for the Bone Bourbon!
At the risk of sounding like a dick, I think that Rex is far superior to Daniel on the "Magnificent Bastard" call outs. Much manliness sounding.
So I have a quick question. So when you inhale whisk [e]y through your nose and you open your mouth. Do you breath through your mouth as well as your nose? Or just open your mouth? Thank you!
I had to come and check this out just to see what you said about the balcones rye, I got a bottle today and it was so intensely coffee and chocolate that I had to make sure there wasnt something wrong with my palette. I'm glad I wasn't off because I love it, it has the intensity and lingering of a lot of the Islay whiskys I love but the flavors are more approachable. I think that would be a great whisky for introducing someone to more heavy intense whisky without challenging them with brine or peat notes that tend to be more divisive
7 trials of the whiskey spirits!! And rex, please don't go around punching spirit d@cks. That just sounds wrong
Kinda digging the Daniel "Magnificent Bastard" over the Rex rendition. Thoughts?
Balcones rye, only Balcones product i dont like, took to a whisky bar, said if you like it you can have it, took 11 people trying before someone took the free bottle.
Maybe I got a bad batch, but the Balcones Rye smelled and tasted like moldy, musty, rotten hay that was soaked in foot sweat. I'm a HUGE fan of rye, especially high rye, and this was more foul than Ardbeg... Bandaids > Moldy Foot Hay
Bone also makes gin from their local juniper trees and they make a akevitt, which is the real dill.
Stand by the green note.....just not the brown note.
Threats to dick punch a bird. The most epic ending ever hahahaha
I know this old, but I have the same shirt Rex is wearing. LOL
Rex has been replaced by Dustin on Stranger Things
Hey Rex, in the last episode Daniel mentioned your hair looked like Lord Farquaad from Shrek, but I think this style is more like Lt. Worf from Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Which in my opinion is a step up.
Keep up the good work guys!

Randomly, at 3am, I re-watched #RexWeek and I figured I'd try to blend now that my whiskey collection has gotten big enough. HOWEVER... My palette might be fried from spicy food and the HP12 I poured earlier. The blend I ended with was a base of (about) 1/2 Tomatin 12, 1/4 Bunnahabhain 12, and 1/4 Michter's American. I like it a lot.... I think.... I'll have to try it again at a better time to be sure.
To me, it unfolds through all three. It starts up front with B12, then builds and builds into Michter's, then the finish is warmth and the light flavors of Tomatin. If anybody cares to try it (or if Daniel and/or Rex want to give it a go), it might be worth looking into, as it is an interesting blend for sure and alone, all 3 are great by themselves.
Minnesota 14 from panther distillery.
Hey guys! I'm new to the channel and like what I see so far!! I'm from Canada and wanted to know if you've tried any Canadian Whisky like J. P. Wiser's? My personal favorite is the Special Blend, Canadian Rye Whisky. 🇨🇦
I need to find out what eucalyptus tastes and smells like...
Hey guys, great job, as always! two things:
1st- when will you do a video in which you explain the rubbing whisky in your hands part?
2nd- Daniel, have you tried abstaining from smoking cigars long enough so that your taste buds would recalibrate (I´d reckon that would take about 2 weeks)?
18:43 ".. to know all of their stories, that's a full time *cork squeek* job. And I'm not Indiana Jones of whiskey, I don't have the time"
Ah, but Daniel, Indiana Jones was a full time archaeology professor who moonlit as an adventurer. Argument not accepted.
Not sure if you've ever had a kick to the teeth.....not a good day
My mentor MB's, I am going to do a personal blend in an oak med char 3 liter barrel. Going with a slight smoke provided by Bowmore 12, can you give me a ratio for the smoke with these 4 other scotch/whiskeys; Colter's Run Bourbon(Very Wheaty for a bourbon), Aberfeldy 12, Ancient Clan(Tomatin Blended Scotch), and a Rye (Either Dickel's Rye or Rittenhouse Rye BIB). Going to try and let it sit for 6 months or until I have no other whisk(e)ys available, whichever comes first.
I thought the balcones rye tasted like tequila and char
Look guys....I know there’s such a thing as fashionably late, but c’mon!
Daniel Brower it's a new trend lol
OMG i know you guys are getting donations left and right, but maybe 3 at a time...? (I sent that bottle i promised...)
Did a vertical tasting masterclass for Yukon Two Brewers last night. And in my post-event write-up I noted that I could tell all six of the whiskies were from the same family, but they had their own little characters that made them all different.
Personally, I like that. I like when a producer finds their profile and then they try different things...putting their signature on their various release styles.
Haven't you heard about the bird?
What is the best whisky to put with coffee and tea
Russel's reserve 10 yr Bourbon 😉😉
Hmmmmm....residual water left in a glass would have no effect on the drink tasting watery. #1 is wet also.
Love the back to back to back. Enjoying with some Buffalo trace - really like this whiskey
Rex you look like young version of Dan Haggerty in Gentle Ben TV show. Love the Whisk(e)y Vault/Tribe 😂
I'm sure i missed something, but could you explain how the Wigle bourbon can be called "bourbon" with a 19 month age statement...just trying to understand the nerdy details :) Thanks guys!
Bourbon has no minimum age statement. According to federal regulations, it only needs to be "aged in charred new oak". Which means, in theory, you could pour it into a charred new oak bucket, and 10 minutes later put it in a bottle and call it "bourbon".
Straight Bourbon has the minimum 2yr requirement, and "bottled in bond" is the 4 yr minimum.
Whiskey Vault ahhh, "straight bourbon" was stuck in my head. Thanks guys! Keep these awesome vids coming! Best part of my days!
fourth?
Rex....you're kind of looking like a mix of lord farquaad and joe dirt with that haircut
Josh. Cant wait to see the next name they come up for the other three you brought up there.
I was 50/50 on going tonight...but now I have to
Josh Golladay I have to make it a once a month thing because of how hard it is to get there on fridays for me
That balcones rye is money
So what color shirt leads to the best peaty flavors?
I would say a black v neck xD
Epic intro starts at 0:00
@13:10 you're welcome
Ah it pleases my heart whenever I see other people enjoy Pittsburgh related items! Love going to Wigle
That was funny
OH SHIT OH SHIT!!
Not enough time spent on the delicious Balcones Rye.
Ha! Loved the ending. Great whisky review. Good one!
Cheers!
We can't gloss over how good Daniels MB shout out was! Nailed it!
Oh Gawd!!
Slackers, what took so long? Couldn't watch at lunch today.
Rex - "We're starting with nepotism?" Oh the irony!
So i have a whiskey that i will send but you guys might not like it.
I'm glad to see Rex got dressed up for the video.
