Can you TASTE FARMS in Whiskey? (single malt terroir in Ireland)

[@Nasse83]

Phenomenal episode. Could have easily watched 50+ minutes. Rex we need the directors cut for patreon.

[@TheLastDrop]

I think what Waterford are doing is absolutely fascinating. I can almost start to feel the excitement brewing from the tribe and the rest of the whisky fabric world. Greatly made video and really shows Waterford in a great light. Bravo guys bravo!

There’s just something correct about a guy with an Irish accent talking about whiskey

This was an amazing exploration with amazing people. You guys nailed it going to Waterford!

[@TheEtinder]

I've been a part of this community a while, but mostly as a lurker. This video is one of the best one I've seen them do. This video made me so motivated and inspired by how much science, creativity, and money people are willing to put into basically one giant creative science fair project. Even though the video came out 2 days ago I've already watched this video 10 separate times. It makes me really want to commit more into the community and learn so much more about the craft and the industry. Also makes me want to move to Ireland, but that's beside the point. Love this video, can't stress this enough. If y'all boys see this comment you made a nerd... *cough cough* whiskey nerd overjoyed.

[@tommyg5095]

Maybe the most important aspect of this video is from 4:25 to 5:15... This should apply to the mindset of all those that enjoy whiskey,,, that being no two batches are the same, and the differences are intrinsic, and to be embraced...

[@jamesmediallc8933]

Agreed.

[@breakingbelmont]

Welp. Now I want to go to Ireland. I love the accents, and it was fun to hear Daniel slowly slip into the Irish accent here and there throughout the episode. It's also great to see the good work that Waterford do to truly understand the whisky process and how they ruthlessly examine the grain from each and every farm they use for fermentation. I want a dram of Waterford!

[@LovingGin]

Great video! The happiest moment was Daniel running through fields with his fellow hobbits. Brings a tear to my eye.

[@jameslipps1917]

Am I the only one who teared up at the sight of those beautiful, rolling green fields?

You just gotta love the Irish. Such a lovely and welcoming culture.

[@bartonjones7319]

As much work as I know this was, I felt like I was walking along with you, and learning what you were learning. It also makes me want to go back to Ireland so bad I can taste it. Well done, Rex. Great job both of you. Proud to be an MB.

Wow. Amazing video! I grew up on a family farm in Arkansas, and my name is Sullivan, so I know I have ancestors from Ireland. This brought it all home. It's not often that you get to see what you've produced in final form, but this shows it. I've been to the motherland a couple of times, and this makes me want to go back!

[@rosscarballo3162]

Honestly the amount of detail in the whiskey making process is overwhelming, but the structure and editing of this episode really broke it down and made it much simpler to follow. Kudos, Rex!

[@WhydoIneedahandleagain]

“Mind fuck” in an Irish accent may be my new favorite thing.

I am a relatively new MB that is going thru all of the past videos; I finally got around to this one and can echo the community comments. What a wonderful piece of information and true to the spirit commentary.

As a Kilkenny man who grew up in Waterford and a huge fan of this channel this was incredibly beautiful to watch 😊

Well done boys, what an experience. Envious and proud, only the two of you could bring out a comfort level in your host that allowed such a great experience. Cheers!

My Dad studied in Ireland at Dublin's Trinity college. I spent a week touring Ireland with him when I was 11 years old (over 40 years ago), but just seeing the green fields and stone walls I feel homesick for Ireland. Falling in love with Ireland and it's people is easy.

My absolute favorite episode. Incredible ❤

[@ChrisWCorp]

Absolutely the best video! I loved every single second, so much knowledge and information going into how whiskey is made. This makes me want to go to Ireland and go through the same tour.

[@formerviking]

First, fantastic video all around. Second, is there anything more attractive than a lady who works in the whiskey business, drives stick, and isn't shy about using strong language?

[@wingracer1614]

As an American where stick shifts have become rarer than the rarest whiskeys, yes a woman that can drive a stick is very sexy.

[@curtisbailey78]

Almost no one in Ireland is shy about using strong language. You can't visit there and talk with the locals if you're prudish about words, that's for sure.

[@MrZippys0]

Basically everywhere in Europe being able to drive stick is the standard.

So, fortuitously, I stumbled across you guys page in the last couple of days, while you're reporting from my home country of Ireland. If you guys hit Cork then you gotta let me know and say hi. I think I've binge watched about 30 of your videos in 2 days, keep up the fabulous work 👍🏼 a new magnificent bastard

[@vincentouwehand828]

Very informative very warm and open. But that doesn't even describe he feels the episode hits. The community inspires, or is inspired by, the magnificence of the people involved here. The level of access you guys had is beyond anything i would have expected and i am unsure if this is because you are spearheading the tribe or not. It's overwhelming to see how open friendly and generous with knowledge and information these people were and until now i did not realize that Waterford actually sponsored your trip in part bonus magnificence right there. Neil Conway and Ned Gahan were fantastic on camera, opening doors that many of us would dream about and showcasing so much knowledge that i understand why Rex had trouble condensing it (Good job btw, i am scared about the amounts that ended up on the cutting room floor). This was then followed by the trip with Grace O'Reilly adding on to that knowledge hearing from Philly himself, making the whole process from seed to glass even more intricate and complex. And yes i think Grace can be rightfully called The Barley Queen. There is a reason to be proud to be a tribe member and this video is a showcase of that honor, respect knowledge and humor, it was all there.

[@Dragon4eva]

such a good episode. amazing hosts you guys had.

[@canadianwhiskysmith6453]

I love seeing updates from Waterford! They are doing some great things with grain and terroir. Did they talk about how last year's drought affected grain production?

The Irish of Newfoundland all came from this part of Ireland ( Waterford, Wexford ,Kilkenny and Tipperary ) and sailed out of Waterford port.

LOVED this one. The humanity that goes into making what we love to drink is fascinating. Those people are the sweetest!

[@befuddled2010]

That was astounding! Interesting, fun, well-paced and I think I learned something in spite of myself. The complexity of the operation at that place is head-spinning, and quite exquisitely beautiful. Loved the farm tour. That color of green is so vivid. Thanks for sharing this guys. That made my day.
