Minneapolis native here...In addition to distillery tours they also do "Blending Masterclasses" where you get to taste each component individually (Irish pot still, Irish grain, and American) and experiment with creating your own blend. I was lucky enough to partake in a class with Brian Nation, David Perkins (founder of High West), AND Kate Doerges (former head distiller for Old Elk)...It was an unforgettable experience. The distillery is a must visit if you're ever in the Twin Cities. Cheers!

I live like 5 miles from the distillery. As far as independent distilleries go, this isn't a small mom and pop operation. It's a big operation and they are swinging for the fences right out of the gates. I'm looking forward to tasting their spirits once they have enough aged stock. Really cool tours, highly recommend.

[@dustingresham8078]

I work on their forklifts at their distillery, which is how i found out about Keepers Heart. Its by far one of my favorite whiskeys, and i love that i get to support a local business. The people that work there are also truly wonderful people.

[@loganstrom2656]

I got some secrets out of one of the bartenders at O’Shaughnessy awhile back and apparently (at least when I asked) the Irish whisky in it is 4 year Teeling Single Grain, and the rye is a 4 year MGP! So pretty quality stuff!

[@dannyweith8238]

WElcome you MB's out there. Happy Monday!

[@ChucklesProducshons]

Thank you for reviewing so many minnesota whiskeys this past couple months! I've worked in retail/distribution in Wisconsin and minnesota and the whiskey game is really on the come up! Glad you enjoyed this, I got to try it before it was fully released to the market here and it's absolutely amazing with an amazing distillery

[@Wilvekio69]

Happy Monday MB's

[@jakajaka22]

Another Twin Cities native here. Your tasting notes match my experience of this one exactly. I can get this locally for anywhere from $24 to $28, which is an amazing bargain for such a beautiful blend. My liquor cabinet is never without a bottle.

[@Herbyonwheelsshubhayu14]

Watching at 9:30 pm cheers mbs

[@lawwook]

I was at a restaurant in Goehsn, Indiana. I was recommended the 10-year bottle. It was light but had great flavors and was very well-balanced with a long vanilla finish~.

[@unclesquatch7934]

I love this stuff. Absolutely a must buy.

[@Whiskè2014]

I have been the keepers heart distillery. So fun. They also make a Irish/bourbon blend which I like more then the Irish American.

[@jestonporter685]

I've been interested in this bottle for a while, and you guys just reenforced my curiosity. I must try it now.

[@calmsea1604]

Just purchased this last week. I liked it and would recommend it.

[@HWYHOG1]

Just bought it last week and I really like it.

[@Psyche89]

I was able to meet Brian at a launch event in Indianapolis. Great guy and lovely product.

[@ryanjimison1747]

MN resident checking in. The O'Shaunnessy distillery in Minneapolis is also right next to Surly Brewing Co, which is a fantastic brewery with great food and a big concert venue. Back to the distillery, I have the Bourbon+Irish product which is really good. They also have a single malt that I haven't tried.

[@moguy1973]

I saw this at a new wine and spirit place by where I live yesterday and was intrigued on what this would be all about. And now I know.

[@rossfudd256]

Good morning Gentlemen.

[@paulmullins4676]

I’ve mixed Woodford Reserve and Treachers Rye and like it more than either tasted separately. I would love to see what you guys could blend.?

[@Bernz67]

They're right. It is very good. Will always have a bottle on my shelf.

[@4LeafWhiskey]

I enjoy Keeper’s Heart. Their Single Cask bottles are really good!

[@eugenenassif]

It's Brian Nation and David Perkins (of High West fame). Legendary duo.

[@slapshotnd19]

They are also doing some pretty cool single barrel finished whiskeys with the 110 proof such as maple syrup, new oak, and red wine they are all really good!

[@robviousobviously5757]

GOOD MORNING YOU MB'S.... 🥃

[@darrellsmith4204]

I need to ask- how do you go about mailing a bottle to the Whiskey Vault??

[@-RONNIE]

Thanks for the review 🥃

[@Nate_dumb]

I helped in the construction on this distillery i did the pavers for their patio/courtyard

[@robbeelsas]

This sounds like one to add to my collection

[@RainPublicPlanning]

Guys there are "picnic tables."

[@alvinmousseau1100]

Awesome video

[@Josh-th7tm]

You guys should do a "review" of a lineup of peated Irish

[@MrScottsearles]

I caught the Brianna (sp.) quip. "Just mouth it", lol. She's a keeper!

[@vladimirmihnev9702]

Cheers MBs!

[@C.A.Newman]

Someone introduce these guys to the picnic table. PS, I'm fully onboard with the term 'mouth it'.

[@bradosborne5044]

If your cold Daniel, Go stand in the corner. Its 90 degrees! 🤪

[@stoniewan]

I got to meet Brian a couple years ago at a launch event. He was a very cool dude. Despite refusing to give mebthe prince of Monacos phone number. I enjoy the products they've released.

[@TorupHodl]

Bitcoiners too! I love the Irish Bourbon Way more, the banana is creamy I just want higher proof

[@Rubberduck-tx2bh]

Rex dragging Daniel, kicking & screaming, to make "mouth the whiskey" an official term...

[@richgone]

I must have gotten a bad bottle, because I thought it was awful. Everything I don't like about Irish whiskey and Rye. I thought it just might be me, so I had some friends blind taste it. Same reaction. Which was a shame, I was excited about this due to my love of Midleton Very Rare.

[@kdcyyz]

Daniel is quite good at mouthingk the whisk(e)y.

[@KillCoMentalMusings]

Damn it! I have to make a video about this whiskey for March and can't watch this yet! GAAAAH!

[@crisshowe138]

i bant to try Keeper bourbon

[@nikmabc]

"I'm cold". Video cuts. I imagine Rex was embracing Dan shirtless to warm him up.

[@JohnKay79]

Great mouthing their gentlemen

[@Qub3rs]

LOL... "mouth the whisk(e)y" I've seen this whisk(e)y around but, haven't tried it. Now, I think I'll track this one down. Sounds like my kind of whisk(e)y.

[@kvetcha]

It's really more Tonguing the whiskey, if you think about it.

[@Qub3rs]

@@kvetcha I think I like the idea of "tonguing" the whisk(e)y more than "mouthing" it 😁

[@ckeats2]

Daniel was there. Mouth it!

[@michaelquinn4425]

The story is a little different here in Ireland in terms of what happened

[@Jkopala1954]

Dani don't be a prude. Brianne came up with the first new tasting term in decades

[@NotQuiteEpic]

Yes, because turning on a fan is what you do when you're cold...

[@Vincent-J-Gunn]

So this whiskey is an Irish american?

[@MrScottsearles]

Start with a scooter, and end up with a Harley! Yeah!

[@robtech341]

OMG, the whole "Notes, grass, Buttered pastry, floral. is total Horse S***. No whiskey has any of these things. When you buy your "Whiskey for Dummies" books they teach you all these catch phrases to through around to sound sound sophisticated. Whiskey, of whatever version is your preference, is really "How long can I go after taking a shot before I need a chaser." I drink Kentucky whiskey mostly as I like to mix it. I do have favorite "Sippin'" whiskey such as Elijah Craig, Wild Turkey or even Jim Beam's "Devil's Cut". That said I don't smell notes of anything. If the smell makes me a little happy I'm in. Although I like you guys a lot, this is simulated pretention.

[@rossfudd256]

Yep that's Americans for you "lively character" "Drama". 😁

[@YoJimBo851610]

36👍

[@ewiken5529]

‘Mouthing feels wrongK”. WRONG-K. Really, Daniel…

[@nikmabc]

When Daniel mouths some Irish, he starts talking like the Lucky Charm's leprechaun?

[@ceklahn]

Mouth it, mouth it, mouth it!

[@kompressor740ify]

Then a golding, hahahahahahahah

[@wookie4798]

Why is Rex dressed like a woke Charlie Brown?
