Lagavulin 11 Nick Offerman Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Rex and Daniel review Lagavulin 11 Year Old Nick Offerman Edition - as they tumble through space and time.

[@coleboozer4032]

I was hoping Nick Offerman would just step in and mooch his own Whiskey

I want him to build a fireplace into my home and appear in a leather chair every time I drink any lagavulin. Then he can be my dad and teach me how to make chairs and shit.

[@gillymcgillface1501]

Maybe Nick was the bung hole?....😲

[@mongogrunt]

too bad Offerman is a real douche

[@meesternibbles]

I love how the special effects for the current tribe are just as good, if not better, than older Dr who episodes

[@JointFive]

You've had too much Lagavulin

[@mgarcia366]

What about the newest ones

[@jcoop22]

Is this basically Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Whiskey Adventures?

[@Brian-vz5cu]

Solid first whisky for vault 2.0!

[@dannyd4632]

Rex was spot on I took a Buffalo trace barrel selection from my local store! Awesome new vault btw!!

[@Spiritus_Invictus]

What about Angel's Envy? Could it fit the requirements?

[@dannyd4632]

Full disclosure the tasting was back in September it was a good time

[@thomasbuck303]

I like the new room/backdrop, it's like the channel just grew up a little more...

[@waldopeppercorn5961]

You guys are Epic, I have been watching you for a few months now and love what you do!!!!! Keep it up fellas!!

[@Zack-vn7dt]

The lighting and sound are so much better in the new vault. Y'all did a great job

[@ravenshadevox]

I love how creative these guys get! cheers!

[@bfdtyper]

Received a bottle of Lagavulin 16 as a wedding gift, and I absolutely love it! Had a bottle of the GoT Lagavulin 9 to help me power through the last season of GoT, and I loved that as well. Last trip to the liquor store I saw they have Lagavulin 8, GoT 9, 11, and 16. Islay is my go to scotch. I'll have to check and see if the 11 is the special one, might have to get a bottle :D

[@dmusicmonkey]

I’m all in for this ride man!!! Love these last 2 videos

[@joshdickelman7472]

The new vault looks amazing. I would love to be able to sneak in there for an hour or two of alone time.

[@flintlock3939]

Acoustic tiles for the ceiling maybe? Picking up a bit of tinny echo. Love the bunghole of knowledge!

[@professorvannostrand2194]

was thinking the same thing. makes a huuuuuge difference

[@RocketDragons]

A gobo or two to drop outside of the frame on camera right would also help a great deal.

[@JointFive]

Why are you watching a whisk(e)y show and complaining about acoustics. This ain't Adele, I can hear them fine. When life was analog, we didn't really care

[@flintlock3939]

@@JointFive I was just pointing out what I was hearing to those that produced it, as I know they care about their production. I wasn't complaining, just letting them know. My point has been validated as the sound was much improved with their next post, over 360 days ago. If they didn't change it, I would still be watching their channel as I appreciate the information they present and how they present it.

[@bipolargods509]

This is exactly why I love this channel! Keep up that silly sauce. The great bung hole demands it!

[@royhi1809]

I can't believe you're not at a million subscribers. We need to share this with friends and others who love the great things in life.

[@JaysonBucy]

That animation is amazballs! It took me back to watching Dr. Who with my dad in the 70's and 80's.

[@ronaldbeerguy]

Nicely done fellas. Really digging the lighting. As the new setup becomes a bit more refined you’ll build on an already impressive set.

[@toddbz]

Even when I eat honey dew melon, I don’t say, “Oh, this tastes like honey dew”

[@tacoma81]

Just opened my bottle of the offerman edition 11 year aged bottle and my god it's my new favorite whiskey. The smokiness in this whiskey is amazing.

[@trentirvin2008]

It’s really cool to see nick offermans whiskey actually be really fucking good haha

[@tacoma81]

@Trent Irvin the show parks and recreations really sold me on this bottle because this was all Nick Offerman drank on that show lol

[@aniquinstark4347]

@@trentirvin2008 I read somewhere that he already liked Lagavulin before they wrote it into the show so this is a product that he actually cares about unlike a lot of other celebrity booze.

[@trentirvin2008]

@@aniquinstark4347 yes that is true, the 16 is Nicks favorite

[@FilippoPanetto]

Great job with the new Vault, it looks stunning! Also my OCD is very thankful.

[@migthulhu]

Thank you for that review I am currently looking to get a bottle of Lagavulin for my stepfather for Christmas but I don't have any opportunity to test any of them so I really appreciate your review today

[@bobbydingleberg6987]

love the advice rex. I'm new to whiskey but fell in love with the buffalo trace as a great way to enjoy a high quality whiskey for a low price.

[@JesusIsMySaviorILoveJesus]

Holy hell production quality is amazing especially compared to earlier episodes. Very nice.

[@thejonathandoan]

Just bought this bottle today. The last Lagavulin I tried was the 8yo Game Of Thrones Edition. I wasn't all that impressed but my tastes have changed, and I've been on an Islay kick for over a month now. The Offerman edition is fantastic! Very balanced and delicious. Still not able to justify the price of Lagavulin, though. I could get an Ardbeg 10 and a Wee Beastie for the same price. Guess I'll have to reserve this for special occasions.

[@cidband93]

For some reason, I was under the impression that this would come in a nice wooden box for this special edition. I was happy when my two bottles arrived, was disappointed that they are in cardboard boxes. Still pleased with what is in the bottle, but as a woodworker myself was really looking forward to a wooden box. I guess I now need to make one.

[@davycrockett4406]

Having watched many “Ralfydotcom” whisky reviews of the “monumental mainland malt mate” of Scotland, he likes to point out how great single malts that come in simple cardboard packaging are just superb. But I get what you’re saying; for a collectible it would be just that-collectible!

[@BelfryHex]

Titan of Whiskey? Maybe the high tier should be "Great Bunghole of Whiskey"

[@TheChesten]

new set looks great!! love it

[@WhiskyJason1]

great lighting and camera!!

[@koreywilliams4570]

I love the look of the new vault.

[@stihlnz]

1700 bottles ...and I thought my 250 was going somewhere. Well done what an investment. Great review, especially the lineup 12, 11, 16 yr. The 12 is a monster

[@bud389]

This channel is slowly turning into the RedLetterMedia of whiskey.

[@clos2132]

Wow I just got my hands on a bottle of this myself. Great timing boys!

[@Thebakedbaker413]

Just picked up a bottle of this for my buddy's birthday really excited to get to try it Glad I get to now also reference whiskey vault review.

[@brianhunley5302]

I want to think you guys! I've always been a bourbon guy. I do HVAC and a customer of mine makes bourbon so good that it ruined all other bourbon. So I had to try something else. I am sold out for Lagavulin thanks to your wisdom! Thanks guys! Cheers!

[@kc5sdy]

The sound is so different in the new vault. Almost sounds like you are in a warehouse.

[@pauladams8241]

Thank you for verifying that I'm not crazy for thinking that.

[@AllanSegalMD]

Lagavulin 16 one of my favorites....wish I could try that 11. I think the answer to the guy's "what should I brink to the snob meeting" is spot on. Angel Envy might have been a good choice for the bourbon.

[@jameslu3530]

Love what I've seen of the new vault! Great pick for the first Vault 2.0 whisky review. 3 things immediately jumped out at me. 1) It's interesting/somewhat-appropriate how Rex's (first?) instance willingly sharing a whisk(e)y is not with any person.... but with a bunghole... 2) Two episodes with Vault 2.0, and I'm already kinda missing the outro toast! 3) Daniel... seriously?!?!? 1700+ whisk(e)ys?!?!?!?!

[@mynameisnotsure6069]

I love the new setup

[@partylikeahobbit235]

There needs to be a funnel in the bung hole leading to an infinity bottle, and every episode a sacrifice to the Great Bung Hole must be made, in turn creating the most glorious infinity bottle that could ever exist.

[@jonmoore8916]

I'm loving the look of the new vault! I just wish it had the natural light the other vault had. Still on the hunt for the Offerman bottle

[@scotf7313]

Was on Islay last year on a cycle trip,soaked to the bone, tried to get in to see Laphroaig Distillery but was fully booked so went to Lagavulin (just up the road from Laphroaig) went on the tour which was ,as you Americans say, awesome, at the end they gave you a wee nip of the Lagavulin 16 ,which is now my nip of choice if someone else buying, a wee glass of room temp water ,either to be added or sipped to clear pallet adds to the experience. Got ferry to Jura (where Orwell wrote 1984) and cycled up to the distillery, soaked to the marrow, drinking a peaty whisky on the Scottish islands when the sky and landscape are black the rain is lashing and the wind howling is metaphysical.

[@canj54]

I know you guys were lacking in shenanigans, but this seems like a whole another game. So congratulations, you have succeeded.

[@ramata1962]

You forgot the toast of fighting, stealing, and drinking. Maybe the Mighty Bunghole will like you more, if you said it.

[@jamsonjsk]

Wow I haven’t been staying current with your videos lately but the new vault looks amazing. Nicely done...love how Daniel does his eyebrow raises when you bastardized Someone.

[@1mgberg]

You forgot the TOAST!!!!! Love the new vault. I will be there Friday if you need to get all the lights working...:-)

[@porondanga]

Ok, I might be crazy here but the back ground is so neat it looks like a green screen

[@nicholasbirt8474]

I was thinking the same thing myself. If I hadn't been in the vault myself and know, that what it looks like, I'd think it was green screened also!

[@samalex5086]

I think its the lighting, its lacking the natural light

[@JazznRealHipHop]

They are almost out of whiskey, better go grab some more bottles 💯🥃

[@2000roentgens]

is that shelf up, that was supposed to have the cornerstones of each whisky category on it? as someone who is still kinda new to whisky, am looking forward to a video on that.

[@petertobin7214]

When is see the (e) used in Whisky I die a little inside. Scottish malts the best in the world. My grandmother would give me a wee sip when I was a bairn. Loved it ever since.

[@Popkajopa]

Awesome new vault! Looks amazing! If you both had mics on you, sound would be much better!

[@coreyclark6505]

I’ve seen this bottle for a few months down in OH, and was curious how it compared. Thanks!

[@TheWhiskyExplorer]

Lighting is pretty dang great in the new location 👌.

[@reliev33]

got 2 of these from flaviar now looking more forward to this.

[@ThinkFaster66]

Old Forrester 100. An absolutely beautiful budget bourbon. It is my new "go to" bourbon for sipping. Ewbib for mixing, old Forrester for daily sipping and eagle rare, four roses single barrel, and a plethora of others for nice whiskey- centric night.

[@hotdog99100]

Great to see the new vault, wonder where you will go next, Virginia maybe, sometime - just a hint guys. Also, will there be a virtual tour so we can see our sponsored shelf? PS: the audio sound smaller in the bigger space - more echo too. Hope you land well.

[@345dane]

Picked this one up it's super good.

[@Y2H]

The background looks sooo much like a green screen! I’m gonna be freaked out next time Daniel gets a bottle from the shelf!

[@Laga98]

Theres something about this whisky I really love. I started drinking it and within the first hour, half the bottle was gone. Not sure if this is a good thing or not

[@robbnagle]

Love the new Vault!!!!

[@timbacon7349]

So I have to ask Daniel because I can never get a definitive answer. Why are some bottles different abv in different countries. Like Laphroaig 10 is 40% in the UK, but 43% in the US. Why is that?

[@thomas069m6]

Tought it had something to do with saving money on tax for some country. Might be something else tough like preferences in alcohol in some countries. Great question enjoy the rest of your day.

[@RobertQvist]

Nothing wrong with the old vault, but DAMN this is a nice room guys! Well done!

[@AJBeck-gh8cd]

Whiskey! In! Spaaaaace! Now we just need some Muppet versions of Rex and Daniel.

[@barrongaillard9623]

The lighting for the new vault shots is way better! Decent kicker light and everything. Next focus can be to tighten up the sound. It sounds like there is some combfiltering happening (shotgun mic indoors maybe). A solution would be a hypercardiod condenser mic. Also a sound blanket on the floor where you are standing and some cheap acoustic foam directly behind the mic will substantialy reduce the reverb. Also, I love the huge leap in production quality (I have to take you guys a little more seriously now).

[@Roth209]

We’re back to weird videos. I would like to be the fly on the wall in the conference room discussing upcoming video ideas. 😁

[@michaelhassler7446]

They seem to be channeling their inspirations from one Mike Judge. Shut up Beavis!

[@mechanicalhippo493]

Cheers fellas ! Just wanted to shout out some love . When ever im having a rough day these goofy videos are a great break !

[@andrewbgood4357]

Traveling through the Stargate, sharing whisk(e)y with the inhabitants of other galaxies? This is the most magnificent thing you have ever magnificently done you magnificent bastards!

[@JS-gk9et]

Great episode timing, just 3 days AFTER I try the Offerman side-by-side with 12yr. While good, the 12yr remains the best scotch experience for me. My advice for the partygoer with potential whisk(e)y snobs: Bring Benchmark 8 in an unmarked craft store bottle, and claim it was from the personal collection of your grandpa. Nvm, that may be a bad idea. Just bring what you like, and keep friends with the ones who appreciate it.

[@timeforchili]

nice stain rex!

[@HotButteryRolls]

Extremely MST3K vibe, boys. I dig it. As for Bourbon recommendation, EH Taylor small batch has affordability, presentation, and amazing flavor.

[@pinkwaferlover]

I feel you could work on the background lighting blending as it looks a bit like a green screen behind you. Also picking up a bit of room echo and it feels less personal oddly. Otherwise I'm loving the new video.

[@americansmark]

If I'm bringing bourbon to a gathering, I generally bring either Wild Turkey 101 or Elijah Craig Single Barrel if it's a casual gathering and either a WL Weller or Blanton's if it's a nicer occasion.

[@Isheian]

Now I’m curious about the 16. I love mint.

[@Saztrah]

There's something about the focus the makes the new vault look like a green screen behind them. It makes it look cheap, but in an awesome way.

[@rhysowen9566]

The lighting setup makes it look like you're using a green screen

[@jackiswellCool]

Rah that's mad I didn't notice it till you pointed it out

[@517nickyj]

digging the DR who vibe in the early new vault

[@Fasnic]

I have the 2nd edition and As a long time Guinness drinker I can totally pick up the flavor of being finished in Guinness casks

[@DutchLiam84]

That sound at the end reminds me of Chris Stuckmann movie reviews!

[@bourbonbikes5536]

I recommend store picks for a balling on a budget tasting. You can get store picks for under $70 that are good. A Four Roses, BT, or Whitmeyers store pick can be found for $49-59$. You are bringing something others have tried but with a new spin.

[@LC-ik3we]

Oh god I hate the gargling bunghole

[@michaelhassler7446]

Maybe a whiskey Colonoscopy is in order? Use your imagination...or maybe not!

[@randomfpv22]

I suggest you send them butt plug of some description.

[@Mercienary]

Would you rank this whiskey Beginner, average or expert drinker in regards to pallet wise?

[@marciosr8504]

The old vault has natural light. It makes a big difference...

[@curtishoffmann6956]

"Where's the bourbon section." "Over there." [Spends five minutes talking, staring at empty doorway off camera.] Yay! Glad you guys liked the "dependent" joke. Lots of whiskey dependency here.

[@matthiasblum6555]

You had me at Whisky, no wait, you had me at Lagavulin, no wait, you had me at Nick Offerman, oh fuck it...

I hope an episode includes a tour of the new digs

[@terr256]

I just bought the 10 Year when I was in Heathrow. My new favorite scotch!

[@HanxHeez]

So, whát did you buy?...

[@HeyHeyItsJayTay]

Gotta ask - Was your inspiration from "Dr. Who" or *Bill and Ted's"? My gut tells me that you were trying to be excellent to each other. 😊

[@devinmurray1360]

Contemplating buying a Offerman edition Lagavulin or the Ardbeg corryvreckan, which should i pick up? Or, if possible, should I pay $50 more and drive 6 hours round trip for the 12 year 200th anniversary edition?

[@bfm2194]

Lagavulin doesn’t know how to make a bad juice. I can’t wait to try out the offerman edition

This is a Offerman I would accept.😁🥃

[@timvassberg9502]

Eagle Rare or Buffalo Trace? You guys are brilliant! Didn't I see an episode recently with both of those? ;)

[@mrartdeco]

Challenge : Watch all the Lagavulin episode Take a dram everytime Daniel says “mint”

[@ErikShen2907]

On the show he drank Lagavulin 16!

[@marcwhiskey]

Looks solid! Is it possible to add a few drops of water to most future reviews for some added tasting notes? It seems like much of the tribe would like that!

[@davycrockett4406]

Was hoping for a review of Lagavulin 11yo, but there was none!

[@halpertal]

I was really hoping they were going to step outside and tour lagavulin.

[@honza_kriz_bass]

The new vault has even more green-screeny look to it 😂

[@egoTheJudge]

2 things. First, you need to fix your lighting so it doesn't look like you are in front of a green screen. Second, get some acoustic panels and fix your echo.

[@YoJimBo851610]

Also good way to start vault 2.0!!

[@CynicalStorm]

The background looks more like it's greenscreened on than ever before

[@EdRadley]

I want this but I can't find any where I live and I can't get it shipped in from out of state. Do I just bribe my local liquor store to commandeer a bottle for me?
