I feel like Briana's dad ran a burger restaurant, and she wore bunny ears all the time.

[@martimxavier9690]

Not the first time I've seen her compared to Louise

[@afwaller]

By Jove…

[@JamesMcCarty]

OMG. omg! 🤯YES! O...M..G..

[@hendersongibson2551]

She is beautiful though.

[@fuzzy3440]

I liked the Archer version better.

[@styx85]

"Is that the guy who Joe Rogan likes but he kind of sucks?" Best description of Brendan Schaub ever 😂

[@jondilly1974]

For sure spot on accurate

[@ecclesyadudeirock]

For total accuracy that guy that Rogan liked 😂

[@Strykenine]

This is more than half of Rogans guests.

[@TheFruitingChamber]

Can’t believe they bought that hot garbage

[@CrumpledPaperHearts]

It’s actually a pretty generous description…

[@ChickenVhett]

"'Effervescent' sound just as sparkly as 'sparkle' does." Brianna spittin' straight facts here

[@jtf2dan]

The Lagavulin distillers edition is 43% ABV, while the Nick Offerman versions are 46% ABV, so besides adding his face he added some punch to his bottles! No WONDER they are so GOOD!

[@SchuylerMartin45]

I used to live a block from Law's. If you buy from the distillery they'll give you a sample of the hops in a little baggy of their grain. Very nice people, very nerdy indeed

[@ryanarthur901]

there are things called tent stakes and tie-downs.. Might want to secure the tent better next time :)

[@hulkslayer626]

11:28 "There's no Scotch... okay!" Damn... shots fired at Compass Box! 😢

[@kevinor8811]

A better comparison with proper 12 would be piss mixed with water. 😂

[@grahamokeefe9406]

I tried the Proper 12 Apple (I guess with added apple flavor) and it was honestly undrinkable. It was so sugary sweet I might as well have been drinking an apple slurpee. I was glad I'd only bought a nip (airplane bottle) and not a whole bottle.

[@taylor315]

I’ve got a Lagavulin 11 Offerman edition and it is top tier stuff. I hope they make more of it

[@devinphillips9704]

Agreed! It is, to date, the smokiest whiskey I've ever had, and I love it!

[@kvetcha]

The Charred Oak is great, but I liked the Guinness Cask even more! I hope we see another release soon.

[@alexglanowski695]

I'm not usually a fan of lagavulin, But the Offerman is phenomenal. I truly enjoyed the hell out of it

[@grahamokeefe9406]

My gf got me a bottle of the Offerman for Christmas. I think I like the 16 better, but I do like the extra smoke in the 11.

[@Booger414]

The Tiger Thiccc seems an odd blend, because I always thought that Japanese whisky was more in line with Scotch than it was like Bourbon. I have been warned not to mix the two in an infinity bottle. I didn't listen, but I was warned. It didn't work out so great.

[@found6393]

From a historical/hereditary perspective, Japanese whisky is descended from Scotch. If I'm remembering correctly, they went over and learned how the Scots were doing it about a century ago. I think they also imported some of their first equipment from there too? But that was a century ago, and they have certainly developed their own character by this point.

[@timshulepov]

There's something absolutely epic about that last scene with the tote explosion :))))

[@Dinie09]

The explosion at the end!

[@jackwilson4284]

"No Bananas were harmed in the making of this video"

[@lonewanderer3603]

The Offerman edition is the only celebrity whiskey I will buy on sight with no hesitation. Other than that the only celebrity whiskey I can think of that I like is heaven's door and that is only the cask strength single barrels.

[@oscarmakavelli]

Watching Briana grow on this channel, and evolve has been astonishing. Her nose and palate has improved drastically.

[@Dinafyre545]

smiled the whole time..didnt actually LAUGH til the last second explosion, props to the editor :P you got me

[@riffraff9070]

Also I’m here for Ron Swanson. The best damn Parks Director in the Damn State.

[@gyangearon8729]

Nice convo, digging it. Next time you could try using something heavy to weigh down the canopy. Like, I don't know, barrels, buckets of water, rocks. Not that you have anything like that around ;)

[@TheSharkPadlock]

Enjoyed the video! Y'all look like are having fun with it. And I learn a bit on the side.

[@lmeow1662]

Y'all are the best, definitely got me into Red Breast and now its a staple in my house

[@OldFashionedWays]

Always so fun and entertaining but while being educational. Love it. Cheers

[@JAF30]

Buckets with some cement in the bottom, before it dries stick a piece of pvc pip that is big enough to fit the legs of the canopy in. Let the cement harden with that pvc pie stick straight up. Then when you have strong winds, you put the leg of the canopy in the bucket, down that pvc pipe . And use the handle of the bucket to help tie down the canopy. If you make two buckets like this and put them both on the wind side, it should help counter act all but the strongest of winds. Like the ones generated by rare great mooches breaking wind.

[@azmendozafamily]

1:20 weirdest 50 Shades of Grey adaptation. All in good fun, thanks for the great content, your comedy is appreciated. I actually like Jeter's Bespoken

[@JDs_RandomHandle]

1:53 OMG my girlfriend did the exact same thing except she was driving and I said "go to the left lane" and she got in the right lane to take the exit. We ended up in Canada without passports and took 2 hours to get back into the US including the boarder patrol who were not friendly.

[@PostNukeProductions]

Briana actually chose the Distiller's Edition as her #2. Laphroiag Quarter Cask was #1.

[@GogiRegion]

I think he meant favorite Lagavulin.

[@duckcc73]

I was blown away by this episode…

[@seanroberts381]

It was in tents.

[@becksterch9903]

Great video in the old time spirit of whisky tribe ❤❤❤ What Lagavulins did you try? Which years Distillers ED? What release of the Offermans (since there are 3 at the moment)?

[@robertsavoie9711]

Yea, Saturday morning!!

[@JarradShaw]

Guy on the bike looked so closely like the super duper funny guy on dad jokes. He’s so so funny 😂

[@RockulaRandy]

I loved that surprise ending! Hysterical! 🤣

[@Cryowatt]

"Whenever you want to support an athlete, a celebrity, an actor... whoever" Why do they need anyone's support? They are already rich enough to do fund a spirit cash-grab.

[@jjnen3118]

Red Breast 12 yo Oak cast finish is one of the best whiskey's you can find.

[@michaelbartley9678]

Have you guys looked into seeing what happens when you make whisky from barrel aged stouts and porters ??? I’m curious what flavors would stay

[@brandonsorensen7216]

You all should review the woody creek that has William H. Macy does, I remember it being rather nice

[@roderickaust1]

Matthew Lillard has a line of D&D themed whiskeys. I think those may be the perfect cross-section for this tasting

[@sebastiangardulski8722]

They should have used the Guinness cask offerman instead of the charred cask if they had a bottle. The charred oak is bland compared to the Guinness cask

[@devinphillips9704]

I'm sure it's the availability. I see the Offerman charred oak cask everywhere but I haven't seen the Guiness cask in a store in years. And I've never seen his Carribean Rum Cask edition ever. I'd love to get my hands on that one!

[@riffraff9070]

Randomly came across this. Very chaotic. But I’m intrigued.

[@seanroberts381]

Try the episode from a year ago titled "We tried to match Churchhill drink for drink..." This channel is a riot.

[@bryanwalker1737]

You guys are hilarious. Maybe consider doing a review of Leadslingers whiskeys with Mat Best who is also hilarious.

[@larryvollor8981]

Proper 12 to RB 15 is a huge price difference

[@felironmaden1429]

Hey so that canopy there? The one that keeps blowing around? Do you see how it has HOLES in the feet? That's so you can stake it down so it DOESN'T BLOW AROUND WHILE YOURE TRYING TO GET DRUNK.

[@Rutrosity]

I just go a job at Total Wine. So I will be able to try all sorts of stuff.

[@wakenbake618]

Is there any chance you guys will ever bring back the aged gin? That shit is excellent. If not, anybody have a suggestion for something close?

[@justinbanks2380]

14:40 The Mooch is dropping science on us now? I'm down for it, but also... WHAT IS HAAAAAPPENING?!?!

[@Alex-zi1nb]

Brianna is just so wild hahaha she's the best

[@Nox_Noctua]

the proper 12 apple whiskey is actually really good

[@AngryCocktails]

Higher than average levels of chaos. And that's saying something.

[@DeckDogs4Life]

I have no idea who Brendan Schaub is but I have had an Irish whiskey that was finished in Mizunara barrels and HOLY DAMN was it good. Some of the best whiskey I think I've had outside of my favorite Islay scotch picks. I really want to try that one now.

[@tylersilva123]

I was hoping you’d have dr. Disrespects black steel

[@bonfire1030]

going with sparkle

[@mortcog4767]

lol - the first "test" is a $20 bottle of watered down irish whiskey vs $100+ bottle of Redbreast!?

[@larrywagner1432]

I’ve enjoyed just about every Laws I’ve had. The price is just a little hard to get through.

[@burnzyyeah]

The Offerman edition is more like a 'nerdy celebrity' whisky!

[@MatthewSmith-cp3hu]

thank you, 😊 rex this feels so much like home, it is so personal, so relaxed, it just therapeutic to feel like i am friends with you and the crew, Jesus bless you, i am so grateful for you, your 1 of a kind and a blessing on us

[@MrScottsearles]

I liked when Bri said Matthew M. for the celeb whiskey. She must like Longbranch, can't say I blame her even though I like Rare Breed better.

[@sniper441]

Nailed it

[@goudagirl6095]

Have y'all ever tried Mike Rowe's Knobel?

[@JDsBBQnBourbon]

Compass box brings out my Jazz Hands

[@markpeer-lee2126]

Was Coner McGregor's... he sold it like 2 years ago. And it improved after he sold it.

[@dumpeeplarfunny]

15:20 "] I I I I [" lol

[@purrpleunicorn]

would you say glyph is a nerdy whiskey on the egde?

[@bentwalls736]

Maybe when it’s windy, use the coins!

[@redhead56]

I like my Laws 4 Grain Bourbon a lot. Daily drinker

[@lestagez]

was hoping you would have done travelers

[@dougmccullough7977]

"I can't see my Ls" says it all!

[@richmanricho]

Sparkle dudes should be a shirt

[@djl3485]

Tiger Thiccc is just collecting dust at every liquor store.

[@Brodysseus]

I kept expecting Briana to also get a last Füm like she was in front of a firing squad.

[@heikkiremes5661]

Don't guys have tent stakes? Damn!

[@dspags21]

Any thought in having @Brewzle on as a guest?? He's a fun dude.

[@cmounce79]

Brianna is a national treasure! Love you also Rex

[@TheIncrediMatt]

You said nerdy whisky and I was expecting some D&D themed whiskey or something lol

[@devinphillips9704]

One thing I've noticed in my experience with celebrity spirits is, the less quality the spirit, the more absurdly overpriced it is. KISS makes a rum that basically tastes like Captain Morgan, but because it's got that name recognition it costs twice as much as a good but modestly-priced rum like Plantation or Appleton Estate. The Offerman Lagavulin is expensive, but it's reasonably priced for a Lagavulin! It costs a little more than the 8, but not as much as the 16 or the Distillers Edition. And it's delicious!

[@umami0247]

I don't think the 16 is expensive it's 95 around me. The 11 is 70.

[@BillMcGirr]

⁠@@umami0247 Even I’m dumb enough to know $95 is an expensive bottle of whisky.🙄

[@umami0247]

@@BillMcGirr not even close I won't spend over 150 but seeing how there are bottles from Wild Turkey over 400 and scotches over 1000 that's expensive. But everyone has their budget.

[@GunnerM60]

I'm a Coloradan, so Laws is local. Personally, I HATE everything they make. Their whiskey is harsh & just very unpleasant. I had a former roommate try to get me into Laws, & I just couldn't. Ugh...., terrible. Absolutely terrible whiskey!

[@thatssonerdy4467]

1:16 why does this statement feel mildly threatening

[@yankee23a]

Having Brianna in these vids definately gives these kinds of videos an edge....I just cant handle old dudes (from other channels) speaking down to me acting all holier than thou and posh about their opinions 😂

[@eobubba]

Wait, are you two nerds wearing JUST T-SHIRTS in February in Central Texas? Science is real!!!

[@z_Moose]

Damn RIP Briana

[@outmein16]

When you said nerdy whiskey, I thought you meant whiskey based on nerdy shit like D&D or games and stuff😅

[@dreamingwolf8382]

The triumphamt return of the prodigal tubesock son!

[@johnwallace2319]

I wouldn't have ever known proper 12 was a celebrity bottle, they really are downplaying that, is it even on the bottle?

[@devinphillips9704]

I think his signature is on the label but that's it. That's common with celebrity spirits, you'll see the same thing on like Teremana tequila (Dwayne Johnson) or Los Hombres mezcal (Aaron Paul & Bryan Cranston). It just shows their signatures somewhere on the front or back label.

[@Alex-zi1nb]

I think it's on the bottle he's also apart of like 99% of the marketing

[@sirdovermeyer]

sipping Ardbeg 10 while watching and I was just saying we needed a scotch when she did lol

Omg Spice Tree is one of my Ult favs.

[@jeth3540]

Now I want to try a whiskey endorsed by a tennis player.

Everything blew over but that's ok it won't happen again, and again, and again, and again 🤦‍♀

Just two words.......TENT STake??

Please review 2 bears money grab vodka. Por (poor) Osos

[@bldogg]

Rip to a real one

[@Amocoru]

They should've done a brain scan of how disappointed I was in Slipknot's whiskey as someone that's a life long hardcore Slipknot fan. The reserve was pretty good but the standard release was dog shit.

[@JazznRealHipHop]

Conor sold his shares in the company so not sure if it deserves to be considered a celebrity whiskey, just a bottom shelf’r

Legitimately concerned I may not see Brianna again😢😢

[@stevenwolf9158]

Are they celebrity whiskeys if all they do is pick it and endorse it? Cause I'm sure that's the extent of their involvement

where's Daniel?
