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.

Maybe Nick was the bung hole?....😲

too bad Offerman is a real douche

You've had too much Lagavulin

[@mgarcia366]

What about the newest ones

[@jcoop22]

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

Solid first whisky for vault 2.0!

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

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

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

[@thomasbuck303]

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

[@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

@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.

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

[@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

[@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.

[@joshdickelman7472]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@tb18761]

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.

[@Zack-vn7dt]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@coreyclark6505]

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

[@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.

[@FilippoPanetto]

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

[@kc5sdy]

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

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

[@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?

[@BelfryHex]

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

[@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.

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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

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.

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.

[@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.

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.

I’ve been scrolling through the comments and no one has mentioned his stain? What does everyone think it could be?

[@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).

[@TheChesten]

new set looks great!! love it

[@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?!?!?!?!

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.

Keep an eye out for Kilchoman releases, it's a peaty Islay (not like Laphroaig peaty), and they often do different finishes. They had a red wine finish release in 2017, if that's gone then maybe they'll do it again.
