Donation Day! Kinahan's + J. Henry & Sons + Shackleton + Liar's Bench + Old Line Spirits

[@pettergage1471]

If y'all get a bunch of bottles from unnamed bastards, you should put it on a shelf of its own and call it "the shelf of the unknown bastard". as a salute for those who serve in the dark.

[@BlazeMiskulin]

I know I'm late to the game on this one, but... I'm SO glad you like J Henry. They're just down the road from me, and they're a great (and growing!) distillery. A note on the red corn (I learned this on a tour): The Henry family used to grow the red corn on their farm, but stopped a long time ago. When J Henry decided to retire from growing (normal) corn and start making bourbon, he went to the University of Wisconsin (Madison) seed bank and asked for kernels to plant. They gave him all that they had, with the stipulation that he refill the seed bank if they grew. They did, and he did.

[@ImJustADave]

I'm totally fine with a slightly longer video like this. Shorter videos with lots of donations feel very rushed.

[@tomcorcoran6331]

I sent the old line, should’ve had a note with it

[@chuckiedee1]

Loved the intro!! We (the Rhodes Girls) are now officially christened “Magnificent (Bastards)!” Cheers!! I only regret that I did not get a sample myself!

[@WhiskeyVault]

Next time you're in town!

[@zackzenron]

I just wanted to say I absolutely love your guys’ toast at the end of your videos. A couple of my friends and I have actually borrowed it a time or two. As such, in the spirit of sharing, here is a toast a lifelong friend of mine came up with a little while back for when we meet up for drinks. Feel free to use it if you wish. “Here’s to the past, the present, and the future; May we drink to celebrate the events of the past; May we enjoy what is in front of us at present; And when the glass is empty, may it be only to seek a new adventure. “

[@karl_alan]

Gotta say I love this format for donation day. Good to have a roughly half-hour video to go into the weekend with, where you give each whiskey some notes and credit.

[@floydian06]

This is actually the first time you've reviewed the budget Shackleton. You've reviewed the more expensive 'The Journey' bottling before. Keep up the great work, guys!

[@YaBoyJedi]

What an amazing duo of whiskey and humorous yet professionalism. 😂 I couldn’t get that last part out without laughing.

[@bradhend]

Seeing your new vids pop up in my feed puts a big ole smile on my face! Hooray for whisk(e)y!

[@bernardmulligan5504]

Took a tour of Old Line Spirits distillery today. Tried all their products except the peated single malt. Unfortunately they're currently out of that one, but they said they have more coming. I picked up a bottle of their cask strength. Personally I like it. I grabbed an extra one to donate. I'll drop it off on the 25th.

[@jackaryolderson4580]

At some point I'd love to see you guys do a 'Rye' at 51% Rye - if for no other reason than to call it 'Barley A Rye'

[@erikevenson4303]

i know this is old video, but i wanted to tell Danial he is spot on with the J henry and sons Bourbon. a few other side notes the tribe may want to know; red heirloom corn 60%corn 14%wheat 14%rye and malted barley for the rest. always aged 5 years in an old cattle barn turned into a rick-house that is not temp controlled. all grains besides the barley malt is grown on the 2,000+ acre farm and produce 100 barrels a year.

[@jonathandill3768]

I knew ball busting would work... thanks guys

[@Padillwan]

Jonathan Dill Ah Senpai, you have mastered the art of harassment 😁. Well played.

[@jonathandill3768]

Thank you my love

[@shilohstore6086]

This silence is for you............

[@rhettrice5526]

When you are able, could you review the Sinatra select jack?

[@raptrbreth]

Rex, Silver Dollar City sounds a lot like most of Southern Indiana, where Bear Wallow Distillery is located.

[@derekmartin5529]

well now I know where I need to stop when I travel to MD in a few weeks for my birthday thank you

[@TheBioethicist]

I'm not entirely sure, but I think Joe Henry finds Wisconsin white oak trees, and gets them processed into his own barrels because he doesn't trust anyone else to do it. If this guy is anything, he's PATIENT, and it shows. He's not in a hurry to make money back, and it shows in a damn fine whiskey.

[@whiskeyblenderfraley4235]

Hi Peter Schumacher. Actually, Joe started off using some Brown & Forman, then later McGinnis barrels. The most recent bourbon has been laid down in ISC.

[@BadSportGaming]

Sorry guys when I sent the bottle I forgot to put the letter in the box before sending. Must have been the multiple 3 finger monkey shoulder I had before sending. But yes I sent you the bottle of whiskey

[@coltonmaxey3730]

Hey this may be a dumb question but what types of ingredients can you toast, or smoke if that’s a thing? And could keeping your ingredients in the barrels before you age your whisk(e)y change the flavors?

[@DZone999]

Hi guys, love your channel! As a burgeoning collector, there's one question that always crosses my mind when I see Daniel go pick bottles from the vault: how do you sort the whiskies in your collection? You always seem to know where everything is even with hundreds of bottles!

[@baronfraser6882]

I remember a long time ago you mentioned 43% as a curious strength for whisky. My Mum works in the export department for Glenfarclas and she told me that it is because certain countries have laws where alcoholic spirits have to be 43% such as South Africa. A mystery solved I think!

[@stevevp2868]

Totally good with 30 minute Fridays!

[@mauipalmandtreecare]

If I like shackleton what are some others I should try?

[@AdamPFarnsworth]

Father Whittington sounds like a wise man

[@gjhc1990]

There is a cask strength old line single malt, as well as a peated american single malt, which sounds interesting

[@rayniercharafardin4805]

Hi guys, please review Ichiro Malt and Grain. It’s delicious. I’ve had it a few times at a local bar and it’s always been great.

[@StarScream0722]

I went out and bought Old Line after this video. I feel like it is the opposite side of the spectrum of American whiskey from Michter's. Michters turns down the barrel/ oak to highlight the sweeter flavors of corn mash and Old Line is aged in small barrels adding to me (a scotch guy) super oaky flavors on a malt whiskey. I did mix them and it turned into a good but not unique bourbon.

[@StarScream0722]

FYI. I have seen it in Baltimore from 45-50 They do make a cask strength bottle at 60%. ABV

[@ck_distills8734]

The long videos are great! Best way to end the day, just with a heavier pour than with the 8-12 minute videos 😂

[@JuanAlvarez-mp8vk]

There is in fact a cask strength Old Line Single Malt American Whiskey available but not in my area.

[@carwynvan]

So is the column still just a fractional distilator? What's the difference between column andpit still?

[@JimmyLeg]

Let me google that for you. thewhiskeywash.com/whiskey-styles/american-whiskey/understanding-whiskey-stills-pots-columns-hybrids/ There you go. Took less time than typing your comment I bet.

[@nickdondarrion4384]

DuPont Circle is in Washington, DC if that helps narrow it down.

[@DavidHansen92]

Silver Dollar City reference.. haven't been there since i was a weee lad lol!

[@bigbuddah878]

I need to go back to the distillery that I did a whiskey tour of and send a bottle in. I personally did not find the whiskey they had to be anything exciting to my taste but I would love to see it be reviewed.

[@glennspurrell5432]

Hey. Will you look at that. Your channel has officially passed Ralfy for subscribers. Congratulations guys on your continued success 👍👍 Slainte 🥃🥃

[@lokisweapon]

I don't mind the longer videos at all

[@jessjones422]

Hey Rex. Looking forward to seeing your new haircut. Daniel... When might you be advancing to Whisky Sommelier Level 4? I have been watching for nearly a year. During that time I've learned that you can "level up" about every 6 months or so. So what gives? You are literally right there so no travel plans are needed, you don’t have to pay for the training, and you aren't busy or in the middle of anything at the moment. ☺

[@WhiskeyVault]

We're still building the level four right now. Hopefully in 2019!

[@JimmyLeg]

It's lack of existing is a hindrance.

[@DoubleOh42]

Maybe when he can pass the Code test?

[@ericmatson7339]

That's it Lets go Maryland

[@Czechbook]

With the large amount of Whiskey in the Vault is the Vault insured? I have grown my collection this year to almost 100 bottles and am concerned for its well being.

[@nicholasweiland6010]

OK, finally popping my commenting cherry after several weeks of catching up on your videos. Usually I couldn't be bothered to actually contribute anything, BUT I heard that Mezcal is your side piece when you're not having whisky. Have you tried the new distillery in Dripping Springs - Desert Door - that Sotol is an earthy, smokey (but not smoked) palate wrecker that will give you instant cigar mouth - definitely check it out! Also, question for you - for someone who loves Islay whisky, any Mezcal recommendations that are heavy on smoke and depth?

[@Alex68Bucs]

luckily over here in germany we can order whisky from amazon and on prime day i was able to get some Jameson Black Barrel, Nikka from the Barrel, Highland Park 12 and Talisker 10 for slightly less than 100€.

[@jeffcreech5377]

I’ve been eye balling Shackleton and I wish you had a better review

[@TheMatthewcota]

Love these donation day. Please make toasting together a thing for these videos.

[@jeremybailey7425]

Not sure Rex knows what a hammy is X-D

Curious..just found you guys...what is the new channel?

[@WhiskeyVault]

[@Shimey013]

Whiskey Vault thanks guys..love your stuff..been watching you guys all day ..great stuff

[@colbybrock3632]

J Henry is about to release their 10 year whiskey

[@darrianweathington1923]

I don't think my boss owns a distillery or knows much about whiskey, or much less you guys but her name is DuPont XD

[@Eltoroblancosass]

Im a newbe .yall are bad ass

[@kevinchervitz7988]

I just got my first Glencairn.....can I be officially in the Tribe now?

[@WhiskeyVault]

You already are, my friend. Just by being here.. :-)

[@kevinchervitz7988]

Whiskey Vault my brother-in-law and I want to start the “St. Louis international whisky (or is it Whiskey) club”. We feel like that is the least pretentious club name

[@ericschwab409]

Longer in the wood brings out more butter........right.....lol!

[@trapperkcmo3460]

i grew up in silver dollar city!!!!!!

[@ChadWinters]

I don’t see anyone complaining the vids are too long....especially if avoids short shrifting the reviews and/or shenanigans

[@DavidHansen92]

Donation DAYY!!

[@jcetera]

moment of silence known as the silent dill

[@chrisdeterman3247]

Is it normal to buy a whiskey drink some then say to yourself I wonder what Rex and Daniel thought of it?

[@carevega2106]

Can you guys PLEASE PLEASE tell your camera dude to get a good, long close up of the bottle??

[@JimmyLeg]

They blame Chad for not setting up the bottle cam, when they remember that it's not there.

[@fikapaus_]

If you get a whisk(e)y you don't know who donated, I'll let you use my name instead. You know, a honorable sacrifice for the people.

[@amitstern6886]

I've found myself sitting in my bed in the late nights after a hard day at work, watching over your videos religiously. while I enjoy them thoroughly, I've noticed the titles representing the bottle to be "reviewed" in the video, really is just a formal click bait which represents but a single second in the video where us, the audience, may actually confuse these lovely videos with a review. whereas the reality is, you may as well start naming each video with a symbol of an ancient tribe, as we all now know better and only tune in to see some heavy (but minimal) ball busting and some interrupted history lessons, followed by 5 different reviews completely side tracked from the inital whisky. worst review channel I've seen. 10 out of 10

[@SuperScoooty]

Never have I thought about calling a mother or aunt a bastard but a cult is a cult...

[@danrhomberg1663]

That was me guys! I donated it!...I cant believe that you lost my name.....I'm so sad now. :-( Oh well. (in all honesty it's not mine...I've just learned how to Mooch from Rex...I blame him.) seriously though guys, I've been waiting to donate but I'm 46 years old. With all the bottles you have awaiting to be mentioned will I be a pile of dust by the time a video comes around with my donation? Whats the turn time?

[@jcfernandez9193]

I said quite a few things and ideas you guys have used throughout, but I have come to peace with being the Tesla to your Edison. You are welcome by the way

[@FightStealDrink]

list them. i always like giving credit where it's due - and admittedly, we often lose stuff in the hustle. that said, people often toss up ideas that we've already had planned for weeks / months. BUT when someone in the community tosses up some brilliance, we have zero issue giving them credit. it actually strengthens the tribe.

[@jcfernandez9193]

Rex I appreciate everything you guys are doing for us, I'm well aware of the hustle you guys go through to keep the tribe going and my input I consider a stone on a great road that this has become. My most recent stone was The brotherhood of the traveling infinity bottle and the rest I can't remember I too have my Hustle but I'm happy to contribute to this great creation and thank you for your hard work and your time

[@jcfernandez9193]

P.S. I still want to send Chad a case of Canadian Mist

[@shawnwhitesel7104]

Hey awesome video

[@greataxe3]

I understand that you didn't magnificent bastard me the last time you drank some of my whiskey. Hell, you didn't even say my name. But you forgot to magnificent bastard Peter! That's inexcusable. Up your game!

[@WhiskeyVault]

hahahahahaha. damn.

[@jimdgrousedogs]

You guys spent about a minute talking about the awkward moment of silence going so far as to name it Dill Silence, but there was no awkward moment of silence.

[@JimmyLeg]

Danny has said a million times, "Yeah, we'll definitely do that." Be prepared for even more disappointment.

[@6038adams]

Went silver dollar city every summer as kid hoping to take my kids next year

[@SanskarWagley]

Morning all

[@loganlambeth2996]

I think we've waited long enough #ShaveTheMooch

[@bigcrichardson1737]

What happened to the moochness? When did I miss the story behind it

[@TheMarkRich]

It's pronounced Leftenant in British English, Texan dudes!

[@robertbradford49]

It wasn't me.

[@JimmyLeg]

It wasn't me or Robert. Next.

[@The4Wills]

How can ya all be fans of the High West Cherry bomb but dislike the $16 Trader Joe’s? Same dang things but yes different blends. Was expecting more flavor notes for High West. All MGP. Appears it takes a really good blender to stand out

[@LukeJarrett]

Not sure if Rex loses mooch points for buying a bottle or gains mooch points for claiming he bought a bottle...

[@patmcdermott8547]

Being Irish, wouldn't that be "Lord Leftenant"?

[@WhiskeyVault]

true

[@phauntis]

Hehe and now the Kinahans and Hutch family's are having a literal war in Dublin

[@Thomalom]

Long vid!!! Awesome!

[@montyhibdon3016]

guys we need 30 min donation days

[@WhiskeyQuests]

Is Rex really still the “mooch” even though he killed his whiskey spirit?

[@LostSoul3699]

If I claim (falsely) to be the bearer of this unclaimed whiskey would Daniel actually reply to one of my questions?🤔 and their's no such thing as a too long of a video when it Includes more whiskeys!

[@ericschwab409]

Where’s Zirpoli? Damn it, where is she?

[@SelfSM1987]

T-8 days till my wedding I’m going to teach 240 people your toast and have it recorded for you guys but next Friday the 10th day before the wedding on donation day can you give me and my bride a shout out toast with her favorite whiskey Jefferson’s aged at sea. If you can her name Gina Soukey (sue-key) and my name is Chris Griepp (Gree-p).

[@shaknobody894]

Hey Daniel I 100% agree Richard Paterson should be knighted BUT I don’t think he actually has been......I must have heard you call him “‘Sir Richard Paterson’’’on 30 plus occasions.......does this count as a correction you need to make? 🤔

[@WhiskeyVault]

hahaha, no, it's a personal habit, not a marker of fact.

[@shaknobody894]

I believe his grandfather was knighted (he was a famous banker). I think we should start a campaign to have him knighted 👍🏻

[@MateuszSala]

The "awkward silence" is pure Craig Ferguson. You stealing bastards :)

[@TheBradWhittington]

You know what would actually make it better? If they did a Ferguson-style awkward pause. But I sense they're too afraid of dead air.

[@WhiskeyVault]

I so badly want to be Craig Ferguson. Maybe this is as close as I'll ever get.
